Ruyang Palace, Zhu Chen was looking at An Jiao's bulging belly with a strange yin and yang, An Jiao didn't dare to breathe in this penetrating gaze, so she could only sit there uneasily.

"Do you have worms under your ass?" Zhu Chen said coldly in displeasure, and put the tea bowl in her hand heavily on the desk to show her dissatisfaction.

"Huh?" It took a while for An Jiao to react, "Back to the princess's words, no......"

"Since it's not, then what are you moving back and forth?" Zhu Chen immediately pointed out that she said something wrong, "If you don't want to be filial in front of this princess, then go back to me, don't come out and be embarrassed, broom star." ”

These last words deeply pierced An Jiao's heart, although it was not the first time that she was insulted by this Zhu Chen, she still felt extremely aggrieved, tears fell on her clothes one after another, she couldn't help but take a handkerchief and lightly tapped the corner of her eye, biting her lip and sitting there.

"What are you crying about? cries and mourns every day, no wonder the man died early. Zhu Chen scolded.

Every time she sees this nephew's mildewed An Jiao, she thinks of her son who died early, and the anger in her chest is burning more and more, if there is no broom star, her son will not die.

"I don't want the death of the son......"

"You're embarrassed to refute it, you killed my son......"

As soon as Zhu Chen heard this rebuttal, he immediately stood up and pointed at An Jiao's nose and scolded angrily, and the more he scolded, the more hysterical he became, and finally swept everything on the desk to the ground, "Get out, you get out of me-"

Who can stand such treatment from Zhu Chen? An Jiao covered her face and cried and got up, regardless of the fact that she was pregnant, and ran out of this warm pavilion like a fled.

The grandmother who took care of An Jiao bowed to Zhu Chen's knees, and hurriedly went to chase An Jiao, don't look at the princess scolding, she still attaches great importance to this grandson, she has to comfort An Jiao when she turns around.

Zhu Chen's chest was also so angry that his chest rose and fell, and his face twitched even more.

"Princess."

Hearing the call of the subordinate, she barely suppressed her anger, "How's it going?" ”

"Ye Hou Ye and his wife have already entered the city, but Ye Hou Ye followed him into the palace to visit the prince, but the Hou lady went to the court official office to meet with Miss Ye......"

"So she didn't come to visit Princess Ben in the first place?"

Zhu Chen's eyes opened slightly, as if he was a little surprised, didn't this Mrs. Xiangyang Marquis take her as the princess of Ruyang in her eyes? Thinking about it like this, her expression was full of gloom again.

"Back to the princess's words, exactly."

Hearing his subordinates confirm his words, Zhu Chen's lips pursed tightly. After a long time, she said again: "I heard that this Xiangyang Hou Lady is younger than Miss Ye, isn't that so?" ”

"The slave maid glanced at it from a distance, and saw that she was indeed smaller than Miss Ye, and her face was still a little childish." The maid who was sent to check on the situation of Ye Xuyao and his wife entering the city was busy.

Zhu Chen bit his long nails, and then sneered, "A yellow-haired girl dares to fight with me, it's really too long, do you think she has self-knowledge?" Dare to come to this Ruyang City, hmph, no matter what, since you are here, you have to add some fun to this princess. ”

After cleaning up the mess on the ground, the cronies and maids served tea again, "Princess, the girl of the Teng family and the girl of the An family just chose to visit Miss Ye today, and there is no news back yet, I don't know if you can get it at this moment?" ”

At the mention of this stubble, Zhu Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then waved his hand, "Hurry up and ask someone to inquire about how this is going?" Hurry up and report it. ”

"Yes, Princess."

When the maid heard this, she immediately saluted and withdrew.

Zhu Chen got up and adjusted his clothes slightly, and put his hand lightly on the back of the maid's hand, "Since Marquis Ye has entered the mansion, I have to meet with him and go to the hall where the prince will receive guests." ”

"Yes, Princess."

Carefully supporting Zhu Chen, a group of mermaids walked out of this warm pavilion.

Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru, who were meeting with Lin Long at this moment, were still sitting upright, and they didn't mean to get up and salute Lin Long, which was quite rude.

Teng Yuanyuan directly ignored Lin Long, a distinguished guest in the capital, and continued to Ye Manjun: "Miss Ye, you can taste the plum blossom cake we made, so that we can truly believe that Miss Ye has forgiven us......

"Yes, yes, Miss Ye, just give us a face......" Anxin immediately agreed.

Ye Manjun saw that these two people were still unrelenting, and they still despised her mother's family so much, her pretty face sank, and she was about to angrily reprimand these two noble girls of Ruyang City who didn't understand the rules.

Lin Long gently raised her hand to signal Ye Manjun not to be angry, she sat down slowly, her eyes fell on Teng Yuanyuan's arrogant face, and she asked casually, "Sister-in-law, who are these two?" ”

"Sister-in-law, these two are the daughters of the local squire in Ruyang City." Ye Manjun took the tea bowl in the hand of the water curtain and presented it to his sister-in-law.

"Miss Ye, how did you speak?" Teng Yuanyuan immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard this, her father was one of the powerful people, what squire?

"Presumptuous!" Lin Long immediately snorted softly, his eyes staring at Teng Yuanyuan's face with authority, "What kind of attitude do you have?" What grade is your father? Who are you? I am not only the lord of Yi'an or the Marquis of Xiangyang, this rank is in front of you, what about your etiquette? ”

The words were not loud, but the majesty they should have was just as much.

Teng Yuanyuan looked at Lin Long in astonishment, "What are you?" How dare you teach me this? What county lord or Mrs. Hou, I don't know ......"

"That's right, don't use the set of the capital in Ruyang City, we won't accept it." Anxin Ru heard Lin Long's voice that was not tall but full of contempt, and immediately became annoyed, even Ye Manjun, the future princess of the Ruyang King, did not scold them like this.

Lin Long sneered, "This is the first time I entered Ruyang City, I opened my eyes, sister-in-law, this Ruyang City is an uncivilized place. Even the king of Ruyang has to respect the saint as the lord, but they are so self-righteous that they feel pitiful, so since they don't know the rules, then Mrs. Ben will teach you what the rules are? Without waiting for Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru to speak, she turned her head and said to the bandit: "Pull these two people down and beat them up for ten boards to set an example." ”

"You, you dare!" Teng Yuanyuan's eyes widened, what kind of Yi'an County Lord Xiangyang Hou dared to repair them for a while?

An Anru's eyes were also full of surprise, "Why did you hit the two of us?" What sins have we committed? ”

"Just because you two defy the imperial power!" Lin Long snorted coldly with a frosty face, "It's not too much to kill you, let alone just a few boards?" This is still to save face, my sister-in-law, otherwise Mrs. Ben would not have let you go so lightly. ”

Bandit Shi had already clapped his hands and let the stout servant woman come in and pull the two out to play ten boards, Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru didn't expect that this was just the first photo, Lin Long would be so ruthless? Especially Teng Yuanyuan, when she was pulled out, she was still scolding endlessly.

"Twenty more mouths, and I'll see if she can clean that mouth a little bit." Lin Long's cold voice in the house clearly came outside.

Bandit Shi immediately responded, seeing that these two women who didn't know the so-called dared to be disrespectful to their own hostess, and even had the intention of teaching each other a good lesson. He has been by Lin Long's side for a long time, so naturally Lin Long is the only one who looks at the horse, where can anyone be so disrespectful?

Ma Lanshi greeted Lin Long at the door, followed the courtyard all the way, and saw the two aunts and sisters-in-law hugging each other and crying after a long absence, she also didn't bother anymore, she kept wandering in the yard, and her mind was Lin Long's young face, this Mrs. Xiangyang Hou was much younger than she imagined.

was thinking about it, but when she saw Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru being pulled out to play the board and screaming in pain, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This peace of mind is as good as that, not many of An's concubines really look at her in their eyes, but Teng Yuanyuan is different, not only is Teng Fangfei's niece, but also a celebrity in front of Princess Zhu Chen of Ruyang recently, and now she is actually being beaten by the board?

This...... This Mrs. Xiangyang Hou is too fierce, right?

She couldn't help licking her dry lips, and could only stand there stupidly, unable to react for a while, and didn't dare to step forward to rescue Teng An and the others.

I can't help but think that when the carriage first stopped at the entrance of the yamen, she waited respectfully to greet this Mrs. Hou, and she was a little disappreciative when she saw her young at first, but now this shot, even her courage is trembling, this Mrs. Hou is really ...... She couldn't find an adjective to describe it, but the fear in her heart was spontaneous.

The sound of playing the board still came into the back room, but Ye Manjun didn't sympathize with Teng An and the others, but he still had some concerns on his face, "Sister-in-law, is this okay?" ”

She was afraid that she would bring trouble to Lin Long, and when she thought of Zhu Chen's terror, her brows furrowed even tighter.

Lin Long took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "Sister-in-law, there's nothing wrong with it, I'll teach them to give a dismount, this noble girl of Ruyang City, which is completely tenable in terms of reasoning, and no one dares to doubt it, unless the King of Ruyang intends to tear his face with the saint." ”

Obviously, she taught the two so-called nobles who didn't know how to be happy, she was deliberate, and she also led these two people to say rude words step by step, she was the imperial power, how could she allow cats and dogs to provoke at will?

"That's good, or sister-in-law is bold enough." Ye Manjun said with a smile.

Lin Long sighed, reached out and clasped his sister-in-law's hand again, "Before I came, they treated you like this?" This Ruyang City is really good rules. The last sentence is clearly out of anger.

Ye Manjun also sighed, "I'm not stronger than my sister-in-law's identity, even if I represent the saint, but if I don't get married for a day, I have to scruple about one or two, otherwise I really don't plan to put up with them." ”

This is the difference between a girl and a married woman, and before getting married, you have to worry more about what you don't have.

Lin Long thought about what Ye Manjun said was also reasonable, she also came over like this, until she gave birth to two twins, she no longer worried so much, "My daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, I understand this truth, but it is difficult for you to endure it for a long time, and my sister-in-law will definitely seek justice for you." ”

If it is inconvenient for Ye Manjun to say, she will say; What is inconvenient to do, she will do it, anyway, she is now a wife and a mother, there is no need for this dough to be thinner and thinner.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ye Manjun smiled like he found his heart.

Lin Long raised his chin outward, and finally asked the question in his heart, "What are those two people here for?" I see that they don't seem to be on good terms with you. ”

Otherwise, Ye Manjun would have interceded for the two of them a long time ago, instead of sitting on the side and watching.

As soon as he mentioned this stubble, Ye Manjun's expression was a little helpless, and he told the identities of the two, of course, he had to mention the tradition of the prince of Ruyang Wangfu marrying a wife and taking a concubine.

The more Lin Long listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and finally patted the tabletop, "Is this really unreasonable?" How can there be such a slap in the face of the wife, the wife and concubine enter the door together, this King of Ruyang is really enough. ”

"That's right, but it is said that this is a tradition that has been passed down since the second generation of King Ruyang, and even the crazy Princess Ruyang couldn't bear it back then."

"What did the second master of the Zhu family say?"

"He? I said that I don't have to worry about it, I have him. ”

At the mention of his sweetheart, Ye Manjun had a little more smile on his face.

Lin Long, who had already escaped his anger, restrained his anger a little when he heard this, nodded lightly and said: "Fortunately, the second master of the Zhu family is still a sober person, and when he hears the meaning of this, he also disapproves of his wife and concubine entering the door together." After a pause, he squinted slightly and asked, "Besides, what did he say?" ”

"Not really." Ye Manjun pondered slightly for a while and replied, "But I believe he is not the kind of person who is untrustworthy. ”

When Lin Long heard this, what does Zhu Ziqi mean? Could it be that she was coaxing her sister-in-law to play? However, seeing that although Ye Manjun frowned, she did not express her dissatisfaction with Zhu Ziqi, she forcibly suppressed the doubts in her heart, and still went back to her husband to talk to him, and asked him to knock on this Zhu Ziqi to figure out his thoughts, there is no need to create a conflict between Zhu Ziqi and her sister-in-law at this stage.

"I know about this with your brother, so I can't ignore them, no matter what rules they have, there are no good stereotypes, and it is superfluous to save zài."

Ye Manjun naturally hopes to stay with Zhu Ziqi for a long time, of course, he doesn't want to be sandwiched by other women in the middle, but he clenches Lin Long's hand, "Sister-in-law, thank you." ”

"I'm a woman, and I'm from here, I know your feelings." Lin Long said with emotion.

Before getting married, she also had doubts about this issue, but with the birth of her two sons and Ye Xuyao's increasing interest in her, she did not feel embarrassed on this issue.

"It's good that my sister-in-law understands me." Ye Manjun said with wet eyes, even if there is a cousin and brother by his side, but there are some things in his heart that he can't say to them, after all, there is a difference between men and women, it is impossible for them to experience her thoughts, wiped his tears for a while, remembered something and said busily: "Don't always revolve around my bad things, sister-in-law, tell me about my two nephews, I really miss them, but this mountain is a long way, and they are small, it is difficult for my sister-in-law to give up her child to see me, I ......"

In the end, I was so moved that I couldn't say it anymore.

At the mention of her son, Lin Long's mood was gloomy again, she tried not to think about her sons along the way, otherwise she didn't know how she could survive? But now that she heard Ye Manjun ask, she cheered up and said: "Fortunately, I didn't bring them here, otherwise I would have been annoyed by them along the way, although it was only a little big, it would not ......be possible for people to look at it for a while."

She compared with her hands as she spoke, picking on the naughty side of her sons, and she didn't bring out sadness, her tone was always light and clear, she just didn't want Ye Manjun to feel guilty about it.

Ye Manjun listened attentively, and happily interjected a sentence or two from time to time, and the expression on his face was even more vivid, and he couldn't wait to give birth to wings and fly back to the capital to hug the two nephews who had never met.

While the two were talking, Bandit Shi said outside: "Grandma, those two girls have finished their lessons, but they both fainted. ”

Lin Long commanded, "Let people carry them back, generous, this lesson is for their own good, tell their families, don't thank me too much, as long as the good students teach their daughters the rules, if they still don't grow up next time, Mrs. Ben doesn't mind teaching their daughters on their behalf." Then he waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

Bandit Shi held back a smile and hurriedly responded "yes".

Ye Manjun covered the smile at the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, it seems that it is not kind to laugh at Teng An's second daughter at this time, but who called her sister-in-law said it so interestingly, it was difficult not to laugh. Then she seemed to think of something, she hurriedly stopped again, "Sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you, there seems to be a big incident in this Ruyang City, my actions are restricted, you enter the mansion Shun lì, but I don't know if it will be hindered when you leave the mansion?" ”

When Lin Long heard this, he immediately frowned, grabbed Ye Manjun and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Manjun shook his head, "I don't know how it is, Second Master Zhu hasn't come to look for me for several days, it is estimated that he wants to avoid suspicion, I think this matter must not be simple." And I probed the tone of the Ma Lan clan, she obviously didn't know, she only knew that the garrison in the city was much stricter now than some time ago, if it weren't for this, I would have gone to the city gate to greet you and my eldest brother......"

Lin Long gasped, her husband is still following Zhu Ziqi to the palace, I don't know if it will be dangerous? However, this worry was only fleeting, thinking of what Ye Manjun's ex-husband said, it was obvious that he still knew something about the situation in the city, and he would definitely be prepared, there was no need for her to mess around.

Patting Ye Manjun's hand to soothe her worried feelings, she took out a token that Su Ziyu gave her before she went out from her arms, and handed it to Rumei to take out and give it to the bandit, "This is the token of the queen mother in the palace, if anyone stops it, you can show this card, unless the king of Ruyang intends to rebel, otherwise he can't disobey the queen's will." ”

The only ones who can suppress the king of Ruyang are the emperor and queen.

Bandit replied respectfully, "Yes, grandma." ”

Fang just turned around and did what Lin Long instructed.

Ye Manjun patted his chest, "Fortunately, my sister-in-law has a killer weapon, I dare not say it to others, I have seen this King of Ruyang several times, he doesn't look like a person who wants to rebel, and my marriage with Second Master Zhu was also proposed by him first, so it can be seen that he doesn't want to see the lives ruined." ”

"If King Ruyang is a sober person, it is naturally good, but I am afraid that it will be bad if he is confused." Lin Long said.

Ye Manjun naturally agreed with his sister-in-law's words, "Second Master Zhu also thinks so. After saying a good word for her sweetheart, she said mysteriously: "Sister-in-law, the atmosphere in the city was not like this originally, but only recently, I guess it will be the matter of the Holy Pillow Soldier at the border of Ruyang City that is known to the King of Ruyang......

In addition to this possibility, she couldn't guess that there would be any other reason that would lead the king of Ruyang to guard against her, so that Zhu Ziqi had to avoid suspicion and prove her innocence.

Lin Long pondered for a while, "What you say makes sense, by the way, did you privately say anything about sending troops to let the second master of the Zhu family know?" ”

When love is strong, it's hard to keep secrets.

Ye Manjun shook his head and said: "I'm pretty sure no, sister-in-law, you told me in your letter, and I'm not an open-mouthed person, where will I tell others about this secret matter?" Besides, when I entered the city, I only thought that this was the last hole card, and if it really endangered my life, I could only ask this secret soldier for help, let alone tell outsiders. ”

No matter how much she agrees with Zhu Ziqi, it is impossible for her to leak her hole cards.

Lin Long patted the sister-in-law's hand, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm just asking according to the rules, I don't mean anything else." When the Empress told me that this was a secret operation, she would not have revealed it to me if it weren't for my special relationship with you. He thought for a while, "The Holy Lord will send troops just in case, and it is impossible to publicize it, this is strange, this thing leaked out like this?" ”

Ye Manjun shook his head again, "I've been restricted in my movement recently, so I haven't been able to get more information, but I'm thinking that someone must be informant, otherwise King Ruyang wouldn't know about it, but who is it?" After all, this place is 108,000 miles away from the capital, who can reach out to the palace? Alas, this is an unsolved mystery. After a pause, he said eagerly: "Big brother? ”

"Don't worry, you don't know what kind of character your brother is? Even if the Ruyang Dynasty makes trouble, he can handle it. Lin Long also has great trust in his own man.

Ye Manjun said softly: "That's good." ”

The two sisters-in-law were talking, and Ye Minglan and Ye Xurongtang's uncle and nephew hurriedly came in.

"Sister-in-law." Ye Xurong's appearance was already cheerful.

Lin Long smiled on his face, and when Ye Xu melted in, he quipped, "I haven't seen you for a few months, why hasn't my uncle grown much?" My mother-in-law was still talking when I came, just worried about whether you would cause trouble in Ruyang City......"

"Sister-in-law, you don't look down on flat people, but I try my best to protect my eldest sister." Ye Xurong responded with a smile, saying so, but the smile in his eyes couldn't deceive people at all, it was obvious that he welcomed the arrival of his brother and sister-in-law.

Lin Long teased him a few more words, and when he saw Ye Minglan coming in behind, he got up and saluted Ye Minglan, "Second Uncle Lan, I've been bothering you to take care of my sister-in-law during this time." ”

Although the extremely young young woman in front of her is said to be a junior, she is still Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, the pillar of the Ye family, Ye Minglan didn't dare to take Qiao, and hurriedly responded with a courtesy, "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law is very polite, I am ashamed of Brother Yao's trust, I almost led the wolf into the room to pit Sister Jun'er, I am ashamed to say it......"

For the sake of Zhu Ziran, he still can't let go of it, and this depression is depressed until now.

Speaking of this, Lin Long also knew about it, after all, Ye Minglan recommended Zhu Ziran in the private letter he wrote to her husband, "This code is one yard, who doesn't make a mistake when he looks away, Second Uncle Lan should not blame himself so much, your starting point is also for the good of my sister-in-law." ”

If this understanding is not reproached, it makes Ye Minglan feel a lot better in his heart, and he respects this young cousin and daughter-in-law more and more, no wonder he can be in charge of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion at a young age, and he has no mistakes in dealing with people, obviously he is not in vain.

Both of them sat down, and naturally they had to mention the situation in Ruyang City.

Lin Long had learned a lot before, but now he just knew more.

Ye Minglan sighed, "In the past two days, our residence has been snooped on, and we can't even grasp the exact time of your arrival Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, if it weren't for Mrs. Ma's sending someone to say, I'm afraid we're still in the dark." ”

"That's right, sister-in-law, this King of Ruyang is really excessive." Ye Xurong was also angry.

Lin Long said: "I heard my sister-in-law mention this, this is just temporary, it is impossible for the King of Ruyang to trap you for a lifetime, it is nothing more than that you are afraid that you will get in touch with the outside world, I believe that when the husband comes back from the Ruyang Palace, this matter will be solved." ”

"I hope so." Ye Minglan pinned his hopes on it, "I can't even see Lord Fang now, this court official is really difficult to move an inch in Ruyang City." ”

Lin Long knew that the situation was very serious, but he still said optimistically: "At this time and that time, Lord Fang is an official of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and his rank is limited, as for that Lord Ma who has been in Ruyang City for a long time, no one has been afraid of him for a long time, and it is not unreasonable that this situation cannot be opened." ”

As for her husband, his status is there, and he is his in-laws, King Ruyang's reaction will definitely be different, and she is very confident in this.

"What my sister-in-law said is, Second Uncle Lan, how can my brother be compared to Lord Fang and others?" Ye Xurong has always admired his brother very much, and Lin Long's words make a lot of sense when analyzed.

Ye Minglan nodded his head in approval, so he thought it was too complicated.

The sister-in-law was talking to her cousin and brother, Ye Manjun didn't say anything, and saw that there were plum blossom cakes brought by Teng Yuanyuan on the table, which were an eyesore, so she asked people to serve them. When I picked up the plate, a few dead flies fell from it, and it was disgusting to watch.

"Hurry up and dispose of it, save people from disgusting." She waved her handkerchief.

The water curtain also frowned, and swept the dead fly into the plate with a handkerchief to take it and pour it out.

Lin Long traced the movements of this maid out of the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but stop it: "Wait." ”

The water curtain looked at his grandmother in astonishment, "What does the grandmother command?" ”

Lin Long stepped forward and took the handkerchief in the hand of the water curtain, unfolded it, and saw the dead flies, his eyes were thoughtful.

Ye Manjun took a look at it and hurriedly explained: "This is Teng Yuanyuan, it's not surprising that a few dead flies are hidden, sister-in-law doesn't know, this Princess Ruyang can even send dead mice to the opening of our Jade Skin Fang branch, these dead flies are nothing......

Afraid that Lin Long didn't know the inside story, she was busy explaining.

"Sister-in-law, my sister is right, I saw those dead rats with my own eyes, they are terrifying, these dead flies are very small." Ye Xurong exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, then the Zhu Chen family is a madman, I really feel sorry for King Ruyang, marrying such a madman as his wife......"

Lin Long said: "Zhu Chen's family belongs to Zhu Chen's family, it is impossible for this Teng girl to scare my sister-in-law just to hide a few dead flies, I am afraid that there is a lot of article when I look at this plate of plum blossom cakes." ”

"Sister-in-law mean?" Ye Manjun understood it at one point, and then looked at this plate of plum blossom cakes with complicated eyes.

"Ru Mei, take it down, find a dog to see if there is a hidden article inside." Lin Long commanded.

Rumei immediately took it down and acted as ordered.

Ye Manjun felt a chill down her spine, it was obvious that she had now figured out the key point-

Off topic -

Sorry, it's a bit of a Kavin today, and I'm a little late, so please forgive me!
