Zhu Ziqi, who was waiting in the outer courtyard, originally thought that it would take a while for Ye Xuyao to end the meeting with Zhu Chen, no matter how this mother-in-law was, it was also one of the eyeliners placed by the saint in Ruyang City, and Ye Xuyao, who had just arrived, was afraid that he had not yet understood the vacillation of Zhu Chen's position, and it was inevitable that the two would communicate.

Where is only a cup of tea, I am afraid that it will only be a moment, and the future eldest brother walked out with firm steps, and he blinked slightly unbelievably when he saw this figure.

"Ye Houye, how did you live so fast?"

Hearing Zhu Ziqi's curious and tentative question, Ye Xuyao said lightly: "The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. ”

When Zhu Ziqi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, so that Ye Xuyao had much more information than he guessed, "My mother-in-law has become more and more cranky in recent years, but it makes Ye Hou Ye smile, please here." ”

Ye Xuyao and Zhu Ziqi walked out of the courtyard where Princess Ruyang lived side by side, and the two of them with extremely sharp ears heard the faint sound of things being smashed behind them, but both of them pretended not to hear it, and still talked politely.

Got on the horse and drove out of the Ruyang Palace.

Ye Xuyao actually wanted to meet with his eldest sister and Ye Xurong and others earlier, and he heard that many situations were far less than described by the parties, and before that, he didn't plan to act too out of line.

For the sake of Ye Manjun, Zhu Ziqi naturally hopes to have a good relationship with Ye Xuyao.

Therefore, along the way, the two of them deliberately tested each other, and gradually got a little bottom in their hearts.

When they arrived at the gate of the official office where the imperial court was stationed in Ruyang City, Master Ma and Fang Weixin had already waited for a long time with people, and there were some soldiers of Ruyang City who were guarding it.

When the two saw Ye Xuyao's figure, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've seen Ye Houye." ”

Ye Xuyao jumped off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the bandits, and secretly bowed to the two of them in return, looking at Zhu Ziqi, "Second Master Zhu, since the prince has promised Benhou, then the guards here?" ”

Zhu Ziqi took out his father's token, and said to the people, either openly or secretly: "The prince has an order, close the team." ”

As soon as this voice came out, the people on the bright side retreated obediently, and the people in the shadows did not rub too much, and retreated according to the order, and for a while, it gave the court officials a tranquility.

Ye Xuyao was silent until Bandit Jian nodded at him secretly, indicating that the people in Ruyang City did not monitor this official office anymore, and then the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "The prince is really a person who keeps his promise." ”

"My father has always been a man who keeps his promises, and neither of us father nor son has gone back on his word." Zhu Ziqi pun on the truth.

Ye Xuyao only believes in this, and things change with the situation, so he can only make a conclusion by observation.

Zhu Ziqi came over to revoke the instructions given by King Ruyang before, knowing that at this time, Ye Xuyao needed to discuss in detail whether it was with the two court officials of Ma Fang or the people of the Ye family, and it was not very convenient for him to be here, even if they were about to become a family.

Therefore, he arched his hand towards Ye Xuyao, "Master Ye, I will leave first." ”

Ye Xuyao didn't keep him, just lightly bowed his hand in return, and now the other party jumped on the horse and led the people away.

Seeing that there were no people in Ruyang City watching, Master Ma stepped forward to welcome Ye Xuyao into the door, "Ye Hou Ye is finally here, the lower officials are all looking at the autumn water, if Hou Ye is one step late, I am afraid that this situation will get out of control......

Ye Xuyao glanced at Master Ma with tears in his eyes, a little exaggerated, thinking that this person had been here for nearly ten years, it was beyond reproach, after all, this position was not easy to do, so he patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.

Seeing this, Master Ma was stunned at first, and then he really burst into tears, and the silent comfort of this young marquis poked the weakness of his heart, and he almost choked up and said: "Xia Guan is here to be loyal to the saint, and there is nothing to complain about, it's just ...... It's so bitter......"

All the qiē is not enough to be humanized to the outside world, not that the people in this area do not know the pain of making sandwich cakes.

"Your hard work, the Holy One knows that Lord Ma has been loyal to his duty for so many years, and when he returns, he will ask the Holy Lord to reward Lord Ma." Ye Xuyao said.

When Master Ma heard this promise, he really cried, but his heart was touched, and he bowed and said, "The lower official thanked Ye Houye." ”

Fang Yanxin has been with this Master Ma for a while, the two are not close friends, but they have not formed any inextricable grievances, for Master Ma's exaggerated actions, he just looks on the wall with a cold eye.

When he could enter the hall and sit down, he apologized to Ye Xuyao: "Before leaving, Xiaguan promised Ye Hou Ye that he would take care of Ye Houye, and he is ashamed to say that if it weren't for Ye Ya's alertness, Xia Guan would have been shameless to face Ye Hou Ye ......"

It is said that the "catching the flower thief" incident has made him ashamed to this day, although he apologized to Ye Manjun, but it is still difficult to deal with Ye Xuyao who really supported him.

Ye Xuyao only knew a rough idea of this matter, at this time he just took the tea that Master Ma respectfully offered and took a sip, and did not immediately make the other party gradually new and pleasant, in the matter of Zhu Ziran, Fang Wanxin did make a big mistake, as an old fritter in the officialdom, he was deceived by a few words of hypocrisy and righteousness, and Fang Wanxin still lost his trust.

Seeing Ye Xuyao is such an attitude, cold sweat oozed from Fang Wanxin's forehead, he made a mistake, but Ye Xuyao can treat Master Ma with a pleasant face, why is he so strict when he comes here? It's just that he doesn't dare to have an opinion on such a differential treatment, so he can only bend down and maintain a saluting posture all the time.

After a long time, Ye Xuyao put down the tea bowl in his hand and whispered, "Lord Fang doesn't need to blame himself so much, things have changed, Lord Fang will pay more attention in the future." ”

There was no other meaning in these words, but Fang Yanxin knew that Ye Xuyao was dissatisfied with him, and it would be difficult for him to rely on the Ye family to rise to the top in the future. These secrets are known in their hearts, but they can't say it directly, so they can only say with a wry smile: "Thank you for your understanding, and the next officials will definitely learn from it in the future." ”

Seeing this, Master Ma suddenly congratulated himself on his choice of Zhu Ziqi in the end, and it was obvious that Ye Xuyao was very satisfied with him, and Cheng dù was his evaluation and recommendation of Zhu Ziqi in the secret fold he presented to the saint, this time he really made the right move.

The men in front were discussing important matters, and Lin Long in the back yard sent Ma Lan's family away, hearing that her husband had returned to the front yard, and hurriedly asked Ye Minglan and Ye Xurong to go to meet, anyway, the latter two were already unable to hold back, and they left in a hurry after getting up and saluting.

"Look at them in a hurry." She joked with a smile.

"Second Uncle Lan and Brother Rong haven't seen their eldest brother for a long time, and there are a lot of things to do, so naturally they have a lot to say to their eldest brother." Ye Manjun explained.

"I know, it's just a joke." Lin Long stretched out his hand and patted Ye Manjun's hand gently, after all, the previous topic was too heavy, so a few jokes to ease the atmosphere.

Ye Manjun's face was a little blushing, "Sister-in-law, don't be surprised." After a pause, he pulled Lin Long to get up again, "Let's go, sister-in-law, I'll accompany you to the yard that Mrs. Ma cleaned up for you and your eldest brother to have a look, but what is missing, while it is not dark yet, we can also buy more." ”

This is Ye Manjun's residence, and Lin Long also wants to go over and see where he will settle down tonight, so this sister-in-law's words are right in her arms, "Then dare to be kind, go, sister-in-law, you show me the way." ”

Ye Manjun covered his mouth and smiled, "Even if my sister-in-law doesn't tell me, I have this intention." ”

Before leaving, Lin Long did not forget to tell Aunt Xin to place the plate of plum blossom cakes and the dead dog, this is important physical evidence must be protected, this Zhu Chen doesn't know if there will be other actions, so Aunt Xin, who understands martial arts, is the most suitable to guard the evidence.

Aunt Xin arched her hand and said, "Grandma don't worry." ”

She herself had been secretly drugged by others, and she hated such a method in her life the most, so Lin Long's orders, she listened to it in her heart, and no matter what, she wanted to fight for justice for this eldest girl of the Ye family.

Lin Long nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Manjun curiously glanced at this somewhat masculine Aunt Xin, and when she walked to the courtyard where Lin Long was temporarily staying, she finally asked who this Aunt Xin was?

Lin Long didn't hide it, and told her about Aunt Xin's origin and the reasons why she was placed by her side.

After hearing this, Ye Manjun sighed: "This is really a hard-working person, I am afraid that she will end up like this." ”

It is still the life of the daughter's family, not as noble as the man, otherwise why would she be cautious everywhere because of her distant marriage? It was a little sad to say this, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

Lin Long sighed, "Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, which is probably what it means." Sister-in-law, so this marriage can't be sloppy, you must see it clearly. ”

Ye Manjun knew what Lin Long meant by this, so that she could see Zhu Ziqi's personality clearly, and she must not get carried away because of love, "Sister-in-law, I know." ”

Lin Long knew that Ye Manjun had a steady temperament, and he would definitely think clearly before he could act without her mentioning it, "I'm not too worried about you in this regard, but my mother-in-law is sick ...... worried."

"But let my mother cāo heart for me, as a child, I have a lot of unfilial ......" Ye Manjun couldn't hide his crying, and the tears in his eyes slipped down like that. Although she had already known her mother's recent situation from Lin Long's mouth, she still had red eyes when she thought of her mother crying and thinking about her.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, my mother-in-law only hopes that you are good, she is fine, who is not a parent." Lin Long explained Ye Manjun, "By the way, a lot of things have happened during the time you have been away from home, let me tell you." ”

"Hmm." Ye Manjun responded softly, still eager to know the details of what happened at home.

When she heard that the third sister Ye Man'an was going to marry into Viscount Fu's family, she said: "I can't see that these three sisters are a little scheming. ”

Lin Long smiled slightly, he had already guessed that Ye Man'an's chance encounter with Fu You's family must not be what it seems on the surface, there must be articles in it, but when he thinks of Ye Man'an's background, it is understandable, after all, who doesn't plan for his future? Not everyone can be lucky enough to marry into a good family.

"It's no wonder that she, anyway, Mrs. Fu likes her quite much, and if she can take in her husband in the future, it won't be bad."

"That's right, I just hope that she can be good, and she is also a sister." Ye Manjun smiled, although they were not close.

Lin Long nodded.

While talking, the courtyard where he temporarily lived was close in front of him, and Ye Manjun walked in with Lin Long's hand, "This courtyard, before the eldest brother and sister-in-law arrived, Mrs. Ma began to decorate it, and came to ask me what you like." He smiled, "Let's go in, let's go in and see Madame Ma's masterpiece." ”

Lin Long was not surprised by Ma Lan's prudence, as long as it was an official wife, which one didn't have more eyes? This is the norm, only such a wife can help her husband prosper in official fortune, if there is a stall who only understands sadness and sadness, it is a headache, such a woman is suitable for being a concubine, it is indeed unbearable to be a wife.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened the room, this arrangement still won her heart, and it was the style she liked. "Well, it's not bad."

The next person moved her luggage in one step earlier, although the two big maids, Ruyan and Rumei, did not personally command, but the grandmother she brought was also an expert in handling affairs, and it was still arranged in an orderly manner.

Ruyan was leading people to clean up in the back room, and she had to sit down with Ye Manjun in the warm pavilion.

glanced at the bright and clean appearance of the window, "It bothered my sister-in-law and Mrs. Ma, and I suddenly thought I was in South Park." ”

Yes, this place is arranged according to the general situation of the South Park.

Ye Manjun flicked the tea residue with the tea lid and said with a smile: "I want to keep my sister-in-law here for a few more days, so naturally I have to spend my best time arranging the best, but in the end, if the tiger is not an anti-dog, the sister-in-law will settle." ”

"It's nice to be arranged like this, what else do I have to dislike?" Lin Long is not the one who can wait for a cheap flat and sell well, others have put their hearts, she is naturally grateful.

Ye Manjun took a sip of tea, "It's good that my sister-in-law is still satisfied." ”

The more the sister-in-law talked, the more happy they became, and the men had dinner in the front yard, and the two women in the backyard were eating together, and it was pleasant to talk while eating. Whether it is Lin Long or Ye Manjun, they have been bored for many days, and it is even more difficult to find a female dependent who can talk a few words, and now it seems that there is endless words.

Until the lights came on, Ye Xuyao came back, and he was not surprised to see Ye Manjun sitting, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law has always been very good.

Ye Manjun stood up as if he was awake, "Seeing that I have been talking to my sister-in-law all the time, I don't remember to let my sister-in-law rest for a while, I really deserve to be ......punished."

Seeing that her family came from thousands of miles to see her, she had always acted without deviation, but she was so happy this time that she forgot to be considerate of Lin Long's tiredness and neglected this, and her face was slightly ashamed at this time.

"Don't get in the way, sister-in-law, don't blame yourself, we have a tough battle to fight next, this cheeky can't be too thin, you know?" Lin Long said with a smile.

Ye Manjun smiled and nodded.

Ye Xuyao said: "Your sister-in-law is not the person who can't help but be blown by the wind, eldest sister, sit down, I have already talked to Second Uncle Lan and Brother Rong in detail, I want to hear your words at this time." ”

Ye Manjun sat down again, almost all of her thoughts were taken out and told to Lin Long, and when she heard her eldest brother's inquiry, she planned to start from the beginning.

Lin Long knew that there were some things in her daughter's family that were difficult for even her own brother to speak, so she pulled her husband and said, "If you want to know anything, just come and ask me, I can be a roundworm in my sister-in-law's stomach at this time." Secretly, she gave her husband a look and asked him to ventilate.

Ye Manjun looked at Lin Long gratefully, asking her to open her mouth and confess her thoughts to her brother, this is the first time in the world, it is really difficult to say, "Yes, eldest brother, I have talked with my sister-in-law for so long, you better communicate with your sister-in-law more, I will go back first." ”

After speaking, she was slightly blessed, and without waiting for her brother to speak, she hurriedly retreated.

Ye Xuyao looked at the thin-skinned appearance of this eldest sister, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't care much about her, did I?" Can you go in such a hurry? ”

"Look at your posture, I'm going to leave too." Lin Long said angrily.

And pulled her husband to get up and go back to the inner room to freshen up, after all, the dust was rolling all the way and tired, and it was not too late to go to the exhaustion beforehand.

Ye Xuyao acted with his wife, and as soon as he entered the inner room, he carried her to the bathroom, just as the husband and wife took a mandarin duck bath to get tired.

Soaking in the hot water, the exhaustion of his body was gone, and Lin Long couldn't help but snort slightly.

Ye Xuyao raised his eyebrows to look at her, and hugged her delicate body tightly, "Even if you want to, you have to endure it, I don't have the strength to deal with you today, and I will compensate you tomorrow for ......"

Lin Long's face turned red instantly, half smoked with hot water and half ashamed, and slapped her husband lightly, "It's all nonsense, don't think about me next time." ”

His eyes widened, and he said a cruel word.

Ye Xuyao gently pinched her face that was still a little baby fat, how could this little face see that she was already a mother? Regardless of his wife's thin skin, he accepted it when he saw it, made a slight effort to let her sit on his lap, and kissed her lightly on the cheek, "Tell me about the eldest sister." ”

As soon as he mentioned the matter, Lin Long didn't mess with him, so he told her husband what Ye Manjun told her, and then commented, "It can be seen that my sister-in-law is sincere about this Zhu Zi period, but this Zhu Zi period still has to take a concubine, I feel inappropriate when I think about it." Don't you know how infuriating this woman from Ruyang City is......"

By the way, I told my husband in detail about the poisoning.

Ye Xuyao had long heard Ye Minglan and Ye Xurong mention this incident, and now when he heard his wife's words, his face was instantly cold. Fortunately, Lin Long has been a husband and wife with him for more than a year, and he can faintly find out his feelings, but he is not afraid of his cold face here.

"Husband, what do you say about this?" She kicked the ball to her husband.

"And what do you say?" Ye Xuyao asked his wife rhetorically.

Lin Long didn't even think about it, "Of course, according to my intentions, I can't swallow this dumb loss, otherwise this time it will be arsenic, and I don't know what means to use next time?" She couldn't condone that Zhu Chen's misdeeds anymore, it wasn't the first time she had done this. This woman just can't see our sister-in-law, how can her unlucky son be blamed on our sister-in-law when he dies? There is no distinction between right and wrong, and there is more than innocent death. ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he felt sorry for Ye Manjun's sister-in-law.

"Then you can't just forget it, Zhu Chen's did this because he didn't take our Ye family seriously." Ye Xuyao said coldly.

Lin Long put her hands around her husband's neck and blew in his ear: "Husband, if we don't go into the Ruyang Mansion tonight to ask for an explanation, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and this Zhu Chen clan will have a contingency plan." My sister-in-law and I guessed that she also guessed based on her past deeds, and there was no substantial evidence to prove her, maybe that Teng girl would be a breakthrough......"

Ye Xuyao had other considerations, and saw that he interrupted his wife's words after pondering, "This matter should not be rushed, lady, we have to let Zhu Chen's feet be exposed." ”

"How?" Lin Long sat up straight and asked with wide eyes.

In this way, her husband should have a countermeasure, and she gradually felt a little ecstatic in her heart.

As a result, she heard her husband's muffled snort, and she realized what the situation was now, and blushed and defended, "I, I didn't mean to, you can't blame me......"

Ye Xuyao turned over and pressed her under him, looking at her viciously, "Huh? Not on purpose? Or let the fire you light and extinguish it for me. ”

As soon as he lowered his head, he kissed her red lips, and then the room was like spring.

As for Lin Long's protests, he had long since turned into ashes, and he could only fall with his husband and son-in-law, and the ups and downs of the sea.

She didn't know when she fell asleep later, only that she was very tired.

The husband and wife were able to sleep peacefully this night, but Zhu Chen's on the contrary, it was a sleepless night, in such a cold night, she was pacing back and forth in the house alone, Ye Xuyao's words hit her hard, and finally couldn't help but start cleaning the people around her late at night.

The movement in the courtyard here is so loud, how can Zhu Yi, who is resting in Concubine Teng, not hear it? He asked displeasedly, "What is the princess doing there?" ”

Concubine Teng, who was sitting beside him, pouted and said: "I heard that the princess has lost something there and is looking for it all over the yard. ”

Zhu Yi was displeased, "Send someone to inform the princess and ask her to interrogate her next person tomorrow, don't make ghosts cry and wolf howls in the middle of the night, so that people can't rest in peace." ”

Concubine Teng was eager for Zhu Yi to reprimand Zhu Chen, so she was busy and asked people to bring the words to Zhu Chen.

After hearing this, Zhu Chen sneered, when did this man really care about her? Now don't care about her business, she glanced at the subordinate who stopped, "Hit, continue to ask me." ”

"Princess, where is the prince?"

"Don't worry about him, he's immersed in the gentle township, he doesn't have the leisure to care about our affairs, tonight no matter what, he will find this person out for me." As soon as Zhu Chen shook hands, her fingers also made a sound, and she saw that her face was quite scary in the night.

The subordinates did not dare to slack off, and continued to torture the subordinates, vowing to find out this spy.

Zhu Chen's perverse behavior will naturally hurt innocent people, after all, in the case of everyone's own danger, it is impossible not to harm the pond fish, and under the panic of the people, naturally some people have different intentions to protect themselves.

As soon as the morning dawned, Lin Long woke up, looked at her husband who was sleeping with her, and pinched his nose with a little annoyance, seeing that he was still "bullying" her like that last night.

Ye Xuyao, who couldn't breathe, had to open his eyes, "Wake me up early in the morning?" What's not happy again? ”

"You still say?"

Lin Long pouted and looked at him, got up and walked past him and got out of bed and began to dress.

Ye Xuyao got out of bed, hugged her willow waist from behind, and kissed her neck, "Where did I dissatisfy you, you say, I'll change, huh?" ”

Early in the morning, his interest was high.

Lin Long glared at him angrily, this color embryo? I was about to say a few "ruthless" words.

As a result, someone knocked on the door, and the voice of the bandit came, "Master, there is a situation." ”
