At this time, Ye Zhong's head was still aching faintly, his mind was in chaos, he squinted his eyes slightly in pain, and felt a burst of nausea, retching a few times, and then he felt a little sober.

This awakening, all the memories gradually came back.

Aunt Xiao and Aunt Mei, who opened their faces last year, often had small frictions because they lived in the same yard, but there was no big trouble, so she turned a blind eye and couldn't see it.

When the servants reported to her, she was so angry that she smashed the porcelain bowl on the spot, put on her shoes and went to the courtyard of the two men.

When she got there, she didn't ask whether it was right or wrong, she beat first and then tried, and immediately hit fifty boards each, and the two screamed in pain, and then she scolded her, "I'll tell you, there are rules in this house, if you think it's difficult to follow the rules, then it's easy to do, I'll let someone pull you out to sell, don't blame me for being a wife when the time comes." ”

The concubine who didn't even set up a concubine document dared to make trouble for her, and she didn't take care of what kind of goods she was.

The two concubines changed their faces in an instant, and they didn't dare to look directly at her, nor did they dare to scold each other anymore, because they were beaten on their buttocks, they were even more like eggplants beaten by frost.

She saw that the two of them were honest, and then she left with the people.

I didn't know that I met Aunt Zhou halfway, this Aunt Zhou was from a humble background, and she was almost like a transparent person in the house, because she gave birth to Ye Xuguang, a concubine, and kept to herself, she didn't feel so embarrassed about her existence, so at that time, her face was not as gentle as a spring breeze, but it was not as scorching as the sun.

"Why did you stop me?"

"Madam, the concubine has something to ask her to call the shots."

"Whatever you have to do, just say it."

Aunt Zhou looked a little hesitant at the time, and even bit her lower lip to look at the people left and right, and finally looked at her in embarrassment, she thought about her usual duty, although she was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't drink her loudly. "It's all mine, it's okay if you have something to say."

"Madam, the matter of the concubine...... Or is it better to ask the wife in private, and ask the wife to give the concubine a convenience? ”

After so many years in this Hou Mansion, Aunt Zhou still learned a little bit of elegant behavior.

She frowned, looked Aunt Zhou up and down suspiciously, saw that she had an uneasy look on her face, hid her unhappiness in her heart, and refused directly, "Since you don't want to say it now, then you don't need to say it anymore......"

"Madam, the concubine's courtyard is in front, and I ask my wife to call the shots for the concubine, it's about Brother Guang'er......" Aunt Zhou knelt on the ground and said with a sad face.

She has always liked Ye Xuguang very much, although she is a concubine, but as long as she teaches well, if she doesn't learn from Ye Xukai in the future, this prospect is still promising, thinking about it, she squinted slightly, and she still agreed to Aunt Zhou's request.

Stepping into the courtyard where Aunt Zhou lived, she saw that the people in her yard were all gathered together to gamble and shout at the vegetable market outside the city, she was suddenly very angry, and Aunt Zhou didn't care about this group of people? "You're going to let them do this?"

"Mrs. forgives, they don't listen to the concubine's words, and the concubine has no choice." Aunt Zhou said aggrievedly, it seems that it is not that she doesn't want to take care of it, but that she can't take care of it at all.

She looked at Aunt Zhou sternly, and then stepped forward and shouted angrily, and suddenly a group of subordinates jumped up in fright, and when they saw that it was her, they all knelt down and shouted: "Mrs. spare her life......"

She was not interested in how her aunt was bullied by her subordinates this week, it was because she had no ability, but she was so lazy in her Xiangyang Hou Mansion, she couldn't tolerate it, so she vigorously attacked them, and someone registered this group of people, and then they all went out of the mansion to sell things.

Aunt Zhou glanced at the group of slaves who were like mourners, and seemed to sense that she was looking at her, and she hurriedly curtsied, "Thank you, madam." ”

snorted coldly, she still underestimated Aunt Zhou, and actually knew how to kill people with a knife, so it is doubtful that she has been guarding herself for so many years.

As soon as she thought of this, Ye Zhongshi couldn't wait to slap herself twice, obviously knowing that Aunt Zhou seemed to be inconsistent, she shouldn't be so careless, thinking that there would be no accident in the house, but now this situation slapped her in the face.

Her face was unusually ugly.

At that time, she entered Aunt Zhou's warm pavilion, because Aunt Zhou was talking about discussing private matters, she didn't bring slaves, and let them stay outside the curtain, but this was her last impression, and when she woke up, she was here, looking at the dilapidated appearance here, it should no longer be the house of the Hou Mansion.

Just when she was thinking about it and regretting it, the door "babbled", and Aunt Zhou walked in in a plain white dress, still holding a tray in her hand, on which were a few plates of side dishes and a bowl of rice.

When opening the door, Ye Zhong also saw two strong men guarding the door, obviously preventing her from escaping.

"Aunt Zhou, you are so bold." She yelled.

Aunt Zhou stepped forward and put the tray on the ground, and said with a sad face: "Mrs. forgive the sins, the concubine didn't have the intention to kidnap the wife, just because they took Brother Guang'er away, the concubine couldn't, so I had to tie up the wife according to their instructions, all the mistakes are the fault of the concubine, don't worry, Mrs., they won't harm your life......"

Before Aunt Zhou finished speaking, Ye Zhong spit on Aunt Zhou's face, with a clear look, "You think you can deceive me with these reasons?" Aunt Zhou, you underestimate me too much, that's right, I'm just a woman in the house, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but since you have the ability to tie me up here from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, it is definitely not simple. Taking a deep breath, she asked with a cold face: "You tell me honestly, who are you who placed the eyeliner in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion?" As if suddenly, she said, "Isn't it the Ninth Prince?" ”

Aunt Zhou never dared to underestimate Ye Zhong's family, although this woman failed to control Ye Mingxi, but she still caught him seven inches, and in the back house, she was even more gracious and powerful, and killed all the arrogant aunts, Ye Xukai is still in Zhuangzi and has not been able to return to the mansion, not to mention this future, so she has always been cautious.

At this moment, she guessed her origin, she sighed, "Madam, I can't hide my wife anymore, the concubine is indeed the person of the Nine Princes, and the concubine has never really done anything to hurt the Hou Mansion over the years," smiled bitterly, "Brother Guang'er crawled out of the concubine's belly, his wife is good to him, and the concubine is all in his eyes, and the wife doesn't like the concubine to approach him these years, and the concubine can endure this separation of flesh and blood, as long as he can live well, even if it is death, the concubine is willing." The voice was slightly choked, "Madam, the concubine really didn't lie to you, in order to force the concubine to kidnap you, they really held Brother Guang'er in their hands, can the concubine ignore him?" ”

Ye Zhongshi didn't believe what she said, she remembered that the last time she saw Ye Xuguang was the day before yesterday. Her own sons and daughters-in-law are all out of the house, the two grandsons are raised in the queen's bedroom, and the daughter often has entertainment among nobles, so she often calls Ye Xuguang to Chenghuan's knees.

"Madam, when you get to this step of the field, the concubine won't lie to you." Aunt Zhou naturally saw the defensiveness in her eyes, handed the food in the tray forward, and then went to untie Ye Zhong's wrists.

She wasn't worried about Ye Zhong's escape, after all, there were people guarding outside, and Ye Zhong's didn't know martial arts, how could she escape? "Madam, I have to wronged you here, the concubine will take good care of Mrs."

Ye Zhong's wrist was already numb because she had been tied for too long, and at this moment she looked at Aunt Zhou with a complicated and wary expression, and if she believed what she said, she was really stupid.

Aunt Zhou doesn't care what she thinks in her heart, so far, she has no way back, I just hope that after this incident, Ye Zhongshi can treat her children well, and of course, Ye Zhongshi can live smoothly before she can talk about the future.

She picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food in the tray one by one and ate a few bites to show that there was no poison in it, "Mrs. Let's eat something, so that I can have a body, and my grandfather and grandmother are about to return to the capital, but it is only a few days, please bear with my wife." ”

She sighed, turned and went out.

When the door closed with a "babbling" sound, about three quarters of an hour passed, and after the blood and qi of the wrist flowed, Ye Zhongshi sat up, rubbed the bound hands, and saw that there were deep strangulation marks on the wrist, her eyes darkened, and she clenched her fists.

After a long time, she let go of her fist, that's right, she was tied up in exchange for the Nine Princes, so she should be safe and sound now, holding back the anger in her chest, she picked up the bowl and ate this rough meal.

Aunt Zhou, who saw this scene through the gap outside, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and left quietly with steps.

She walked around the courtyard and entered one of the wings.

"Ai Ye, I have kept my promise, when will I let my son go?"

Hearing her voice, the middle-aged man standing in front of the window named Ai Ye sank slightly, "The prince is safe, your son can return home safely, there is no room for you to bargain here......"

"Are you backsliding? Give me back my child—" Aunt Zhou shouted angrily when she heard this.

Ai Ye sneered, "You have almost forgotten your mission over the years, and you must not forget who helped you in the first place and allowed you to live a prosperous life......"

"Whew!" Aunt Zhou said angrily, "You hurry up and return my son to me." ”

Ai Ye didn't bother to deal with Aunt Zhou at all, and waved his hand: "If you want your son back, give me An'an's share, and your benefits are indispensable." ”

Aunt Zhou's hands clenched into fists, this person is so despicable, she has been a little negative over the years, but she is not without achievements, otherwise she would not have tied up Ye Zhong's family this time, and gave up Ye Mingsui, who was easier to succeed.

It's just that the relationship between Ye Mingsui and Ye Xuyao is extremely poor, and Ye Xuyao may not be able to deal with him if he is used as erbium, let alone let go of the Nine Princes? As for Old Marquis Ye, she can't get close to her at all, Ye Manzi's whereabouts are not easy to grasp, and only Ye Zhong's is the most suitable.

First, the mother-son relationship between Ye Zhong and Ye Xuyao is very strong, and secondly, Ye Zhong and Lin Long are called mother-in-law and daughter-in-law but can be as close as mother and daughter, no matter how you calculate it, this couple will not care about Ye Zhong's life or death.

Taking a deep breath, it is not good to be hard, she is at a disadvantage, "In order to save the master, I can die, but my child is still young, I hope you can understand my suffering?" If I really don't care about the prince, why don't I exchange Ye Mingxian? He is ruthless to me, and I am also unrighteous with him, so I am loyal to my master, and heaven and earth can learn from it. ”

It seemed that these few words eased the atmosphere, and Ai Ye sighed, "Okay, as long as you do what I order, I can guarantee that your son will be safe." If it weren't for the woman in front of him, he was only afraid that he would tie up the worthless Ye Mingxun, and he would harm the prince at that time.

Now the Nine Princes' Mansion is guarded openly and secretly, and he can't get in touch with the forces in the palace at all, and the Queen Mother is the same, only to mobilize the hidden lines hidden in the various mansions in Beijing, hoping to help the prince tide over the difficulties, and he has arranged the escape route.

Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and arched her hand at the other party and said, "Thank you, Ai Ye." ”

Ai Ye waved his hand again, "As long as you don't do bad things, I will keep my promise and go out." ”

Aunt Zhou was blessed, so she retreated, and when she got outside the curtain, her face instantly tightened, which was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and she could understand this truth without others teaching her. But the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, only to try her best to get through the sadness, but in an instant, her face became resolute.

However, as soon as it entered the summer, the weather was so hot that Lin Long had already changed into the summer clothes he had placed in Ruyang City when he was on the boat, but fortunately, he had the foresight to cut a few more pieces, otherwise he would be miserable at this time.

She was dressed in a light green summer dress, and when she stepped on this deck, she was even more elegant in the wind.

"Husband, is this going to the shore?" She looked at the pier that she could already see, and finally returned to her homeland, and her mood inevitably became excited.

Ye Xuyao nodded, and looked back at his wife's bright eyes in a very good mood, "It's windy here, you should be so careful of catching a cold." ”

"Out of the way." Lin Long smiled, "I'm still too hot with a cloak at this time." ”

Ye Xuyao didn't seem to be lying, so he was relieved not to mention this matter again, she was about to dock, and there were still a lot of things to be busy with, after all, the Nine Princes were still on the ship, and they couldn't be negligent at all.

Lin Long was much more relaxed, as early as two days ago, she instructed the two maids to pack their luggage, so she was in a good mood to watch her husband command everyone to act, her hand unconsciously fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, and her heart flew to her son in the palace.

Wei Chishi escorted the Nine Princes to the deck, naturally did not miss Lin Long's pretty clothes, at this time Lin Long's face has taken off a little childishness, the young woman's style is showing, this is the most tempting time, but it is a pity that such a woman passed by him, and in his heart, he lowered his head and stopped looking at her.

Lin Long seemed to feel a burning gaze, and looked back at Wei Chishi, only to see that he was escorting the Ninth Prince with a stern face and did not look at her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had been avoiding him and still had results. Thinking of the high-spirited Uncle Gao Guo in the past, and then looking at the current Wei Chishi, she couldn't help but sigh in vain, this life is really unexpected everywhere.

In the afternoon, the boat docked, and the return trip was almost half as long as it had been.

Carefully pedaled by Aunt Xin, for a while, then left the trembling board and stepped on the land of the capital, Lin Long almost burst into tears, and glanced at this homeland, which made her feel more emotional than when she came back from Suzhou that year.

The carriage in his house was already waiting.

Since he planned to arrive at the time when Ye Xuyao might return, Ye Zhong's family had already arranged for people to look at the dock, and once they saw the big ship that Ye Xuyao had returned, they would report to the mansion as soon as possible, so the carriage of the Hou Mansion could come in such a timely manner.

"I've seen grandma."

The steward in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion stepped forward to salute Lin Long, Lin Long nodded, and when Rumei and Ruyan were about to step into the carriage, they asked casually, "There haven't been any major incidents in the mansion for more than half a year, right?" ”

"If you go back to grandma, there is a big incident in the house now." The steward didn't dare to hide it, and immediately said with a bitter face.

This matter can't be hidden, the eldest lord Ye Mingsui can't solve it at all, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to the return of the master and Mrs. Hou.

Lin Long was stunned for a moment, thinking of the moment of heartache in Ruyang City, isn't it? She immediately asked anxiously, "What happened?" ”

Seeing the eldest grandmother's stern and anxious expression, the steward didn't care that this was a crowded dock, and hurriedly whispered about the disappearance of Ye Zhong, the mother of the house.

"Missing?" Lin Long was slightly relieved when she heard that it wasn't the two sons who had an accident, but then when she heard that it was Ye Zhong's accident, her heart rose again, "Have you searched all over the house?" Where are the relatives? ”

"I've searched all over the place, and I have alarmed the government, but many days have passed, and I am stunned that there is no news of my wife." The steward said worriedly.

Lin Long gasped, she couldn't find it anywhere, Ye Zhong's disappearance was not simple, her eyes swept over the emaciated face of the Nine Princes, and suddenly she guessed some clues.

Pushing away the two maids holding her hands, she lifted the hem of her skirt and didn't care about her demeanor, and hurriedly found her husband, who was talking to the court officials at this moment.

"Husband?"

Hearing his wife's anxious call, Ye Xuyao raised his hand slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't worry, lady, I already know about the affairs in the house." ”

Seeing this, Lin Long suddenly realized, this matter alarmed the government, how could the emperor in the palace not know? Someone will definitely be sent to inquire about this matter, after all, it is about the Nine Princes, a thief, and it is impossible for the emperor to ignore it.

Ye Xuyao arched his hand at the officials who came to greet him, and then pulled his wife aside and whispered: "The Ninth Prince is still here, and his mother must still be safe." ”

Lin Long glanced at the officials of the imperial court who received the Nine Princes, approached her husband and whispered: "Husband, the Nine Princes are now going to be handed over to the imperial court, what do we use to exchange for our mother-in-law?" ”

Ye Xuyao's expression was solemn, "Lady, don't worry, I have my own opinions on this matter, and what I can do now is to wait for the news of the other party." ”

They tied up his own mother is nothing more than forcing him to follow the law and take the ninth prince to exchange for his own mother, such a trick he guessed as soon as he guessed, since this is the case, he will accompany him to the end-
