Chapter 413 is here
There is also a second watch tonight.
Sorry for being late, please forgive me! ββ
Off topic -
As she agreed, the corners of her mouth hooked defiantly, and she knew that her brother would definitely come to save her.
Not long after, Zhu Ziqi, who arrived at the foot of the mountain, received a letter from the feminine man who sent someone to shoot him, and looked at Ruyi (i.e., Baozhu) in the prisoner cart with a cold expression, "Take her off the prisoner cart, and we will go up the mountain." β
As soon as she thought that her daughter-in-law was still pregnant with a child, she could only pray for the ancestors of the Zhu family to bless this little life.
Ye Manjun turned around and shook his head at his mother-in-law, signaling her not to act rashly, and to cooperate with the feminine man, now is not the time for a battle of will.
The feminine man dragged her to climb the mountain regardless of the sour smell on her body, and when Concubine Teng saw it, she couldn't wait to step forward to save her daughter-in-law, but she was also dragged by others, and she had no power to resist at all.
Although Ye Manjun has never been here, when she sees the place where the trees are towering, even if the weather turns cool after autumn, the leaves fall almost the same, but she can still find that this is the junction of Ruyang City and Mongolia, these mountains and forests are natural barriers, she is the princess of Ruyang Palace, these are not secrets to her at all.
The journey of more than ten days finally stopped, and Ye Manjun and Concubine Teng were dragged out of the carriage.
Concubine Teng has never given birth to a daughter, and once regarded her niece Teng Yuanyuan and Teng Shasha as her own daughters, but after all, she didn't crawl out of her belly, which is not close. This time I really accepted Ye Manjun, and it became more and more pleasing to the eye to see this young daughter-in-law, and I really treated her as a daughter from the bottom of my heart.
The two have had this experience of suffering together, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has gradually developed from tension to peace and even intimacy.
So she was also smart not to say a word.
Mother-in-law's affection, how can Ye Manjun not feel it? It is precisely because she saw Concubine Teng's regret and self-blame that she didn't say half a word of resentment and scolding, the change in her mother-in-law's attitude is of great benefit to her, and her lack of blame and complaint is only afraid of making Concubine Teng even more unhappy.
This made Concubine Teng shed tears several times, she vomited a lot when she was pregnant with Zhuzi, she couldn't eat anything at all, and the whole person was sick, but at that time, there were slaves waiting, gorgeous clothes to wear, and a clean, comfortable and spacious room to live in, and the treatment was better than Ye Manjun now, I don't know how much. With such a comparison, I felt more and more bitter for Ye Manjun, especially this daughter-in-law didn't even complain, she was much stronger than her, which made her deeply blame herself and want to slap herself a few times, what is this doing?
Ye Manjun still vomited when she ate, and ate when she vomited, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she endured to stuff food into her stomach, and she had to save her body before waiting for her husband's rescue.
This is exactly what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law want, and the last thing they need is to be eye-catching.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the carriage, and rarely showed up along the way, even the meal was brought into the carriage by Concubine Teng herself, because it was not washed with water, the smell on Concubine Teng's body was not good, and a group of big men instinctively stayed away from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Ruyang City.
Everyone in this conference room has different thoughts, and no one dares to be perfunctory about the errand at hand.
Officials at all levels in Jiangnan not only trembled this time, but their feet were a little softer, the expression of this cold-faced god was too terrifying, who was going to be unlucky at this time?
Ye Xuyao frowned, and then thought of his wife, she was thinking of him, his heart warmed, and his expression softened a little.
Ye Xuyao, who was meeting with officials at all levels, tweeted, which made the officials at all levels who had always been afraid of him secretly shudder, there are many corrupt officials in the hands of this cold-faced Qincha these days, and they all have to wait carefully, and no one can offend him.
Lin Qi's eyes widened, and she always felt that her sister's words were full of murderous energy, she subconsciously touched the back of her neck, fortunately it was not aimed at her.
"I want to write a letter to your brother-in-law." Lin Long didn't hide it.
"Sister?" Lin Qi opened her eyes wide for some reason to look at her sister's sudden move.
As soon as she thought of it, she called, "Come on, pen and ink waiting." β
If this disaster relief saves some shameless sluts who want to get involved with him, it is not a good thing, no, she has to write a letter to her husband to sternly warn him not to be kind, and the good guy card must be collected by others.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of her husband, who had a good-looking face, and although he often had a stinky face, he was still quite attractive.
Lin Long saw the ruthlessness in his sister's eyes, this time he was really relieved, the battle between the inner house is never much less than the sword light and sword shadow on the battlefield of a man, and the slightest carelessness will make people irreversible.
"What else can she do? I asked my mother to give her a new batch of servants, and all the useless ones were gone. Lin Qi said.
Lin Long was stunned, after all, Huo Zhou's stroke was not a strange thing, the strange thing was that she was able to survive again and again, was it really planted this time? "So she can't do anything now?"
Lin Qi smiled, she was full of energy now, "By the way, that dead old woman had another stroke because she was overangry, and this time she couldn't move her whole body, and she couldn't speak with crooked eyes, which is really happy." β
"That's good, it seems that you can grow up by suffering." Lin Long said with emotion.
This is also the reason why she has often been to the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion recently, Huo Yuan has no opinion on her move, even if she disagrees with Lin Long's eldest sister-in-law, she is happy to see his wife and eldest sister-in-law close.
Of course, she encountered problems in the process, and she didn't ask her mother Quan Meihuan, but came to tell her sister that the people in the world who would not harm her were her mother's siblings.
After selling Xiyu to the kiln, she began to rectify the mansion, and then she found a lot of problems, her mother really didn't know how to run the house, no matter how powerful her grandmother Quan Xiao was, Quan Meihuan didn't get the true inheritance of her mother at all.
From this incident, she also understood that her mother-in-law Quan Meihuan was actually unreliable at all at a critical moment, and no matter how much her mother changed it, she was still the same as she was, and some things in her bones could not be changed, she couldn't rely on her mother-in-law to support her, and she had to show her courage to run the family strictly.
"Sister, I know, if you see a ghost once, aren't you afraid of the dark? I can't act impulsively anymore and have to pay for someone else's tricks, I blush now when I think about it. "Lin Qi is really wise to eat, "Fortunately, my husband didn't really get angry with me, I am lucky in misfortune, and I don't learn to be more vigilant in the future?" β
"Don't call her like that in front of people, you still have to give face, you can't help but do this scene." Lin Long admonished.
Now she called Huo Zhou's mouth to shut up and kill the old woman, and she didn't give Huo Zhou's half face at all, this old woman tried to destroy her marriage, and she hated it when she thought about it.
Lin Qi was playing with Ye Yaoxing in his arms, and at the same time took the time to respond to his sister's words, "Of course, this dead old woman is haunted, since some people on my side have seen her colluding with Xiyu, how can my husband not believe it?" Sister, how long have I been married into the Huo family, how long has this dead old woman been unpleasant to look at me, I am really glad that I didn't follow my mother into the Huo family back then, otherwise the graves of our sisters and brothers would be old and tall. β
"So, my brother-in-law went to warn Huo Zhou's family?" She asked her sister.
The stupid thing Lin Qi did didn't end up with her sister's count, but fortunately, Lin Qi's temperament was much calmer after this incident, and he also reflected deeply, so Lin Long was quite satisfied with his sister's reflection.
Lin Long didn't even receive the slightest rumor of these things, and there was no mention of it in the letter written back by her husband.
Because of her shyness, she couldn't help but blush on her face, and hurried away with the maid.
Nodding obediently, she got up and walked out of her mother's warm pavilion with lotus steps, and sure enough, as soon as the curtain was released, her mother's gentle voice came out, "Husband, our Rou sister is finally emotional......"
Zhou Xuerou has always known what her mother's words mean, it is nothing more than the mother's and father's tablets chattering about homely things, in her eyes, the love of her parents is so beautiful that it is enviable, she also wants to meet such a lover one day, she will love him wholeheartedly and dedicate her own qiΔ to him.
The eldest princess patted the back of her daughter's hand, and sure enough, the woman was not staying, staying and staying to become an enemy, thinking of her deceased husband, there was a heartache again, "Okay, you go back first, I want to talk to your father." β
Zhou Xuerou was very confident in her beauty, and nodded with a smile at her mother.
"There's no man who doesn't steal, you have to take the opportunity." She taught her daughter.
The eldest princess is a person from the past, how can she not know her daughter's thoughts? She and her deceased husband only have such a daughter, and they have always been spoiled, for the sake of her daughter, what else does she not agree? Even though the imperial brother Zhu Yi's handwritten letter urged her to enter Beijing immediately, she still thought about it and replied that she would work with Ye Xuyao to relieve the obligations of the royal princess, and Yunyun refused to return to Beijing in advance.
"Mother, you're so nice." Zhou Xuerou hugged her mother's arm and coquettishly, "Let's stay for a few more days and wait to return to Beijing with Ye Houye, okay?" β
The eldest princess was also dissatisfied with the future son-in-law's appearance that day, even if the future son-in-law kept pleasing their mother and daughter, she still didn't like it, so she didn't correct her daughter, "Since that's the case, then it's better to get out of the marriage." β
Ye Xuyao saved her from being humiliated from the sky like that, the image of this man began to take root in her mind, and then she looked at her fiancΓ© afterwards and saw how unpleasant it was, how much she liked her fiancΓ©'s elegant temperament in the past, and now how much she hates his cowardice, this useless man, she still takes up space when she sends her.
"He wouldn't have been able to protect me at all, if it hadn't been for him that day...... Ye Hou Ye came, I am afraid that it will really be a catastrophe, he is a soft-footed shrimp in front of the mob, so scared that he only knows how to pee his pants, how can I let such a person be my husband? Zhou Xuerou's face was full of disdain.
The eldest princess stroked her daughter Zhou Xuerou's hair, "The coming day is long, what are you anxious about, but do you really want to divorce your own fiancΓ©?" β
The young girl sitting next to her couldn't help but have a disappointed face, "Mother, he's not coming." β
The eldest princess waved her hand lightly, "Got it, you can go down." β
Ye Xuyao's reply, the bandit stone was quickly passed on to the descendants of the eldest princess's mansion, so the grandmother who came to invite Ye Xuyao over did not hesitate to go back and report it to her master.
This is also another reason why Zhu Yi sent Ye Xuyao to Jiangnan, that is, to protect the safety of the eldest princess's family and not let them be affected by the disaster.
I don't know if this matter really didn't touch Zhou Xian, he died on the battlefield very early, the eldest princess was grief-stricken, and finally gave up the prosperity and took her only daughter Zhou Xuerou back to Jiangnan to guard her husband's mausoleum.
Compared with the princess who was born in the royal family, Zhou's wife, who has no background and a humble background, can't look at it at all, who would do so much to stand out for a woman who has no value at all.
This case was also quite sensational at the time, even if everyone doubted whether there was the eldest princess behind it, but no one dared to question the royal family. And Zhou Xian was not sad to see at that time, he was still able to show affection with the eldest princess, and his behavior made people secretly contemptible, and no one wanted to go over to explore the truth.
However, sympathy is sympathy, when Zhou's wife asked for help, not many people would stand up for her. Zhou's wife was driven back to her hometown, but she encountered bandits on the way, and she and a pair of children were killed.
Because of this, her reputation in the capital is not very good, just because she is a princess, no one dares to talk about her, but everyone is still very sympathetic to the next cousin of the Zhou family.
After all, the eldest princess is the half-sister of Emperor Zhu Yi, who died in childbirth because of her biological mother's dystocia, and has been raised in the queen mother's palace since she was a child. The eldest princess is quite willful in terms of feelings, and has not chosen a husband until she was twenty years old, and later stood on the city wall and saw the majestic appearance of Zhou Xian, the general who defeated the triumph of Mongolia, she fell in love with people at a glance, regardless of the fact that they had wives and children, and insisted that the queen mother of the queen at the time decree that the husband and wife should be reconciled, and she became Zhou Xian's stepwife.
When the disaster occurred, the Eldest Princess's Mansion was still living a glamorous life, but their glamour stimulated the victims, and many of the victims rushed into the Eldest Princess's Mansion to make trouble, and finally they were all pressed down by Ye Xuyao, who came urgently.
At the beginning, the Holy Lord had instructed to ensure the safety of the eldest princess, and their master did it.
"Yes, sir." Bandit Shi immediately realized that his master didn't want to see the eldest princess at all.
At the mention of this eldest princess, Ye Xuyao's brows furrowed, and he said, "You go and reply to the eldest princess, just say that I am going to inspect the disaster, and I will go to ask her for peace when I have time to go back." β
At this time, Bandit Shi came in to report, "Master, the eldest princess called you over." β
Bandit Jian glanced at the worry in his master's eyes and sighed secretly.
"Now we can only choose to believe your eldest aunt." Ye Xuyao clenched his fists behind his back, it was too far, even if he had the ability, he couldn't reach it, without his deliberate orders, the eyeliner who stayed in Ruyang City would also think of rescuing Ye Manjun, and of course, the court official Master Ma, he still had to go straight to the top of his own lungs, and he would definitely do his best.
"Master, although my uncle went to save the eldest girl, but the eldest girl is still in the hands of the enemy, we ......" Bandit Jian felt that the eldest girl's life was really bad, and she would encounter such a thing if she married so far away.
Ye Xuyao reached out and patted him on the shoulder, but there was worry in his eyes.
Bandit Jian naturally understood that there were priorities in the matter, and this matter really reached his wife's ears, but he was afraid that it would really have unpredictable consequences, so he nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, the slave knows." β
However, Ye Xuyao, who was in the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, received the eyeliner placed in Ruyang City and sent a flying pigeon handbook, and after reading it, he frowned and said to the bandit who sent him a letter on the side, "Don't spread this matter, remember, don't send it to the capital to let your wife know." β
What happened in Ruyang City didn't receive news from the capital for a while, whether it was Ye Zhong's family or Lin Long, they were still living their lives step by step, how did they know that Ye Manjun was experiencing danger.
"It's up to you." She figured it out and said,
Concubine Teng was stunned, in fact, she was also contaminated with the things that her daughter-in-law spit out before, and the taste was really unpleasant, but after thinking about it, wouldn't it be more coveted for them to make them glamorous? It's better to be like this, at least save others from making up their minds.
Ye Manjun saw that she was about to get off the carriage, so she hurriedly grabbed her, "Mother-in-law, don't wash it, it's better this way." β
At this time, she is happy to serve her daughter-in-law, and she no longer puts on a mother-in-law's shelf.
"Yes, you're right." Concubine Teng was busy agreeing, she was about to have a grandson to hold, so she was even more reluctant to die, "I'll go get some water to wash you." β
So the desire to survive has never been stronger.
As long as she thinks of a little life in her belly, she doesn't want to die, she is reluctant to have a child in her womb, a husband who has only been married for more than a year, and a family member who is far away in the capital, these are her concerns.
"Mother-in-law, now it is most important to feel sorry for ourselves, we still have to raise our spirits and wait for the son of the world to come and save us." Ye Manjun held Concubine Teng's hand and said.
In fact, she was self-loathing all the way to being captive, but for the sake of her own face, she didn't say anything to blame herself in front of Ye Manjun as she did now, but now that she has a grandson, it is different, and the regret she has never felt has filled her heart.
The smile on Concubine Teng's face didn't last long, after all, it's a good thing to have a grandson now, but this situation is really worrying, she said sadly, "They all blame me, if I hadn't insisted on going to have any incense, we wouldn't have fallen into this step, and if you are still in the house at the moment, how can you suffer this crime?" β
Seeing this, Ye Manjun was silent, forget it, this mother-in-law is on the rise, so she won't spoil her interest, but when she thought of her current situation, the joy in her heart was suddenly poured cold water by reality.
"How not? You don't believe in the eyes of someone who came from me? Concubine Teng glanced at her daughter-in-law, even if there was no doctor's pulse to confirm, she could be very sure that her daughter-in-law was in a fetus.
Ye Manjun saw Concubine Teng's happy appearance, her heart was still beating, she didn't want to find out that she was deceitful and disappointed in the end, so she said, "Mother-in-law, maybe not......
"Fool, what's incredible? When you become married, you will naturally have children, which is a gift from God. Concubine Teng said busily, the grandson she had been looking forward to was already in her daughter-in-law's belly, there was nothing better than this, if it weren't for this dangerous situation, she was only afraid that she would have to put a few congratulations, and then go to Zhu Zijiao's house to show off to Concubine An, this is her own grandson, the future king of Ruyang.
Ye Manjun looked at his stomach with wide eyes in disbelief, there are her and Zhu Ziqi's flesh and blood in this? A little life she looked forward to and looked forward to? "Really? This...... It's incredible......"
"Having children." Concubine Teng almost said in Ye Manjun's ear.
"What's there?" Ye Manjun couldn't react for a while.
Concubine Teng's face was even more surprised because of her rhetorical question, she almost looked at Ye Manjun's stomach with a pious gaze, carefully reached out and stroked it, and whispered excitedly, "In this way, you have it." β
As a result, no one noticed the abnormality of her body, and even she was negligent.
The big girls around her are also inexperienced, and as for the grandmothers, they have never been arranged to wait in the house. Her nurse was arranged by her mother to do another errand when she was not breastfeeding, so she didn't have to rely on the old and sell the old to block her, and the young girl didn't like to have an old face like Mama dangling in front of her, so all the Mama arranged by Ye Zhong's family for her were waiting outside the door and were not placed in the house.
Ever since she vomited after taking supplements that day, her stomach had been uncomfortable, and when she woke up in the morning, she was even more sullen, thinking that she had eaten too many supplements and had indigestion, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Moreover, because her father-in-law and mother-in-law came back to live in the palace, it was not good for her to come to the Xuanfu doctor to diagnose the pulse because of a little physical discomfort, and when she got it, Concubine Teng had to say that she was squeamish behind her back.
"Mother-in-law, how do you know?" Ye Manjun asked in surprise.
Concubine Teng thought back to her daughter-in-law's vomiting twice, and asked again, "Do you want to vomit when you wake up in the morning?" β
Ye Manjun stretched out his hand and stroked his lower abdomen, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said uncertainly: "I...... I don't know ...... either."
Concubine Teng grabbed Ye Manjun's hand with a look of surprise, "Daughter-in-law, are you ...... Not pregnant? The last few words couldn't be lighter, and the volume was only heard by their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After Ye Manjun in the carriage sat down, she quietly lifted the curtain on the carriage window, and when she saw the feminine man again, he had a retinue's clothes on his body, and she was suddenly overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth were hooked with satisfaction, as if she sensed that the feminine man's eyes were going to look this way, and she quickly loosened the curtain of the car in her hand to cover her gloating.
The feminine man glanced at his subordinate, but nodded in agreement, the smell of vomit was stronger than the smell of sweat from the big man.
I didn't bring any luggage along the way, where can I find clothes for my master to change into? I didn't expect that weak girl to come to this hand.
"Master, do you want to take off your clothes and change them for you?" One of his cronies said cautiously.
As soon as the feminine man who cleaned up the vomit on his body turned around, he saw Concubine Teng carefully helping Ye Manjun into the carriage, her eyes became more and more gloomy, this hateful woman, as soon as she lowered her head, she also smelled a foul smell on her body, and her expression was even more disgusted.
Concubine Teng didn't hesitate, and she didn't care about the pain in her body, she got up neatly and helped Ye Manjun, who didn't smell good, to get up, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't even clean up themselves, and they didn't have the appetite to eat those barbecues again, but got into the carriage carefully.
Ye Manjun saw his mother-in-law close her mouth, so she put her mind at ease and tried hard to hold back the feeling of vomiting, "Mother-in-law, help me into the carriage." β
Concubine Teng is not a fool, she can understand it at one point, she looked at the men around her, there was not a single woman, if she shouted blindly regardless of the consequences, it was tantamount to reminding the enemy, which was not half beneficial to their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all.
Ye Manjun hurriedly glanced at Concubine Teng, shook his head secretly, and signaled her not to say anything about leakage.
If the first time she saw Ye Manjun vomiting out of supplements, she thought that her daughter-in-law vomited because her stomach was uncomfortable, and she didn't think about it at all, but now when she saw Ye Manjun's face turned pale and her head was agitated, she suddenly looked at Ye Manjun with wide eyes as if she had opened her mind, could it be what she thought? Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so quickly and cushioned under Ye Manjun's body.
When Ye Manjun was knocked to the ground, Concubine Teng hurriedly cushioned her body, not letting her really fall to the ground, not caring about the pain of being smashed on her body by her daughter-in-law, she hurriedly held Ye Manjun's hand and said urgently: "Daughter-in-law, you ......"
Without thinking about it, he reflexively threw away Ye Manjun again, ignored Ye Manjun and fell to the ground, and scolded, "Bad luck." "Turn around and leave, no matter how beautiful a woman is, if she has a sour smell on her body, she can't be beautiful.
The feminine man learned to be obedient at this time, and pushed Ye Manjun away to prevent her from throwing up on himself again. The smell of this body made his face blue, he didn't expect this stinky woman to really spit it out, he was so angry that he grabbed Ye Manjun's collar and wanted to slap her twice, who knew that Ye Manjun spit on him again, compared to the sour and rancid taste that still smelled of barbecue just now, this time it was pure gastric juice, and the taste was as bad as it was.
Ye Manjun didn't have the heart to pay attention to the surprise on their faces, and finally vomited after enduring it for a long time, and she couldn't stop her stomach from tumbling at this time, and continued to vomit one after another.
The feminine man's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his clothes, and the men around him who were originally coaxing also suddenly stopped talking, all showing stunned expressions.
Ye Manjun was extremely disgusted by his smile, and when he approached to lighten himself, the tumbling of her stomach could no longer be suppressed, and she suddenly spit out at the feminine man, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the vomit with a sour smell fell on the feminine man's body.
When the men around saw the master's appearance, they cheered one after another.
The feminine man looked stunned, and then looked at Ye Manjun with sharp eyes, "Don't come with me like this, I won't fall for your radical method, and now I will have a good taste of the princess of Ruyang Palace." Then he licked his lips with his tongue and smiled obscenely.
Ye Manjun saw that her mother-in-law was pushed to the ground, looking like a wolf, and she was anxious to help Concubine Teng, but her arm was still in the hands of the feminine man, and her movement was blocked, she turned her head sharply to look at the feminine man, and said angrily: "Even if the two countries are enemies, they can insult the woman who is not as strong as you, what kind of hero is it?" Your style is truly despicable. β
The feminine man glanced at Concubine Teng and smiled coldly, how could this old woman stop him without the power to restrain him? pushed Concubine Teng to the ground, "Useless woman." β
