"How so?" Mama Jiang's pupils dilated, "How could the son of the world die?" Second master, don't lie to the old slave, otherwise the old slave will fight to the end regardless of whether the second master is the master or not......"

"Am I guilty of lying to you?" Zhu Ziqi sneered.

Mama Jiang's body took a few steps back, and she couldn't accept such news for a while, no wonder she had to hurry day and night, it turned out that Ye Manjun rushed to Ruyang City to give her master a joy, so that the son who fell off the horse could survive this hurdle, and at this time she believed that the arrival of Zhu Ziqi was the meaning of her own princess.

The princess would not let Zhu Ziqi cause chaos in the city, for fear that this person would make a move that was unfavorable to the prince, and it was best to send him out of the city to feel at ease, so she found this name for him to greet Ye Manjun.

Mama Jiang's mouth clenched her fist tightly, and this change caught her off guard.

Zhu Ziqi didn't care about this grandmother's behavior, what to do This old woman knew very well, and she didn't need to remind her much. "Is there anything else with Mama?"

Mama Jiang shook her head blankly, she turned around and left, but she had thought of a countermeasure in her heart, she must not let Ye Manjun know the truth now, what if she refused to cooperate to go to Ruyang City to make the prince happy? can make the princess treat her solemnly, and the prince is more than lucky.

Ye Manjun in the carriage saw the embroidered curtain on the carriage, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What news can you find out?" ”

The embroidered curtain shook her head, "Their guards are very tight, and the slave maid couldn't get close to Mama Jiang and Second Master Zhu, so I can't hear what they said, but," After a pause, she said in a lower voice: "Mama Jiang's expression is not right, it is obvious that Second Master Zhu's news has a great impact on her." ”

Ye Manjun's expression was frozen, and Mama Jiang's expression was a barometer, this Ruyang King's people would prevent her from inquiring about the news, but they couldn't stop their own people's expressions and movements.

"Ruyang City has changed." She said these words slowly, but there was no more substantial evidence, and she couldn't guess what the change was. King of Ruyang? Princess? The Son? Check these people one by one in your mind.

Just as she was pondering, Mama Jiang had already returned to the carriage, her expression was the same as always, and it could be seen that she had adjusted her heart.

"It's a long way, Miss Ye doesn't get out of the carriage and walk? I'm afraid there will be no more opportunities on the road. ”

"It doesn't matter." Ye Manjun waved his hand lightly and said, "By the way, Mama, is there something wrong with such a hurry?" ”

"How so?" Mama Jiang's heart jumped, thinking that someone had said something to Ye Manjun, so she said again: "Girl, don't listen to other people's nonsense, everything is fine." ”

"Really?" Ye Manjun smiled slightly, then frowned slightly, and seemed to be slightly annoyed: "But how did I hear about ......?"

"Miss Ye just needs to believe me, don't listen to others, it's really fine." Mama Jiang emphasized again and again.

"Mama Jiang, don't worry, I heard that the princess ......"

"The princess is fine, and the prince is fine, those are all rumors and slander......"

The more Mama Jiang emphasized this, the more it proved that the matter was with these two people, Ye Manjun looked at the old servant with a stern expression, "Mama Jiang, you still haven't told me the truth, is something happened to the princess?" No, it's the son, right? ”

If something really happened to the princess, Mama Jiang wouldn't hide it from her like this, unless something happened to the prince? I was afraid that this marriage would change, so I didn't dare to tell the truth to myself.

"Nope." Mama Jiang's expression changed, and then she adjusted her expression and emphasized: "Absolutely not." ”

How could Ye Manjun trust her at this time, this Mama Jiang didn't tell her the truth, she got up and pushed Mama Jiang away, "If you don't say it, then I'll go to the person who can speak." ”

"Miss Ye, why are you so stubborn? I said no, you still don't believe it......" Mama Jiang's heart beat wildly, and she reached out to pull Ye Manjun who got out of the carriage.

Ye Manjun waved her hand away unceremoniously and said to his two maids, "Stop this old slave for me." ”

"Yes, girl." Embroidered curtains and roller blinds responded immediately.

The two stepped forward and grabbed Mama Jiang's arm, preventing the old woman from stopping her girl from finding the answer.

Mama Jiang regrets it very much now, because she respects Ye Manjun, the future princess, and in this carriage, she has no arrangement of her own, so she will be controlled to death by two girls.

Ye Manjun grabbed the curtain and put it on his head, hurriedly tied it, and got out of the carriage for the first time not very elegantly, and there were two guards from the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion outside the car, and as soon as she made a look, these two people immediately followed behind her.

She didn't go around in circles, and walked straight to the Zhuzi period.

The person hadn't approached yet, but was stopped by Zhu Ziqi's guards, and saw the two tall men blocking in front of her, looking like they wouldn't give an inch.

And Zhu Ziqi didn't look at herself at all, she still talked to her staff, when she was a delicate guest from the capital.

She stretched out her hand to stop her guards from being rude, but sneered: "The son of the dignified King of Ruyang is actually afraid of a weak woman like me, and he is not afraid of being embarrassed when he says it?" ”

Her voice was not small, and everyone around her could hear it, and suddenly the collective gaze at Ye Manjun was quite unfriendly, as if she wanted to put pressure on this coquettish guest from the capital.

She was unmoved, but straightened her spine even more, and looked at Zhu Ziqi indiscriminately, she didn't want to arrive in Ruyang City in such a daze, as the future princess, she had the right to know the truth.

Zhu Ziqi's Ling Li's gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Manjun's face, to be precise, this noble girl in the capital was far bolder than he imagined, originally thought that the women in the capital were just like his mother-in-law, but there was still a difference.

"Master, do you want to teach her a lesson?"

When Zhu Ziqi heard this, he glanced at his subordinates, and everyone in his subordinates knew the meaning in his eyes, so they all closed their mouths at this time, and he looked at Ye Manjun again, and waved his hand at the two guards who stopped Ye Manjun.

As soon as the two got out of the way, Ye Manjun immediately stepped forward, looked at Zhu Ziqi and said, "Second Master Zhu borrowed a step to speak, the little woman has something to ask." ”

"Just say what? I can't listen to the words of the words. Zhu Ziqi's figure did not move, obviously not looking at Ye Manjun in his eyes.

Ye Manjun looked at this person's uncooperative attitude, and he didn't get angry, since he didn't want to talk to her in private, it was okay, they just got straight to the point here, "Second Master Zhu, what are you Ruyang Mansion hiding from me?" ”

"Nothing ......," Zhu Ziqi's staff members answered first.

The corners of Ye Manjun's mouth hooked mockingly, "I'm asking Second Master Zhu at this time, it's not you, you'd better keep your mouth shut." His eyes looked directly at Zhu Ziqi again, "You really don't dare to be open and honest with a weak woman like me?" It turns out that Second Master Zhu is just like this, and he is just pretending to be a ......."

"It's useless for you to use the agitation method on me." Zhu Ziqi said coldly, "I never eat this set, the best thing I will give you is to get on the carriage and obediently set off to Ruyang City." ”

"If I don't cooperate, what will you do?" Ye Manjun provoked angrily, what is the big deal about such a self-righteous man she hates most in her life?

"How about not? Whether Miss Ye wants to arrive in Ruyangtian decently or in a wolf bèi depends on Miss Ye's choice. Zhu Ziqi raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a dilemma.

"You, this is not a gentleman's doing."

"I never say I'm a gentleman."

Ye Manjun's fists under his sleeves were clenched, this person was really angry, if she could, she really wanted to teach him a lesson, took a deep breath to calm the anger in her heart, she suppressed herself and said: "Second Master Zhu, I think that as the future princess, I have the right to know what is happening now, I don't want to marry in a mess." ”

This is her true words, which she didn't want to say, but now she was forced to say it.

Zhu Ziqi looked at Ye Manjun seriously at this time, this is a woman with commendable courage, he has a little appreciation, but it is just a little appreciation, and when he was about to say something to dispel her thoughts, he heard someone not far away say loudly: "Report." ”

His expression became more and more stern, and he motioned to his subordinates who hurriedly dismounted to step forward, took the secret letter in his hand, and opened it, and his strict face was even more covered with frost at this moment.

"Second master?" Several staff members gathered around.

Ye Manjun didn't know what was written in this letter, but her intuition told her that the content of this letter must be related to her, and the relationship was heavy. "Second Master Zhu, what's in the letter?"

Zhu Ziqi closed the letter and slowly turned his head to look at the young girl to be married, wondering if her expression would change when she heard the contents of the letter?

"You really want to know?"

"That's right."

Ye Manjun nodded heavily.

"Well, you heard clearly, your fiancé, that is, my brother-in-law, the prince of Ruyang Palace, has passed away."

After Zhu Ziqi finished a series of somewhat awkward words, he looked at Ye Manjun without blinking, as if he wanted to see what she couldn't bear, didn't he want to know? Now that he is telling the truth, it is up to her to see if she can bear it.

His brother-in-law Zhu Zijie still couldn't survive, after all, he was a blood relative, his mood was quite complicated, his brother who had always been unpleasant died, but he couldn't be happy.

This brother-in-law's fall from the horse is still very suspicious, of course, there are many people in Ruyang City who want him to die, but in this way, the original balance is broken, and there will definitely be turmoil in Ruyang City, which is not a situation he is happy to see.

He's dead? Ye Manjun thought that something would happen to this prince, but she never thought that he would die, or she died on the eve of her marriage in Ruyang City, her eyes were extremely dry, and she didn't have the slightest feeling of sadness and crying for this prince she had never met, only a faint pathos for herself.

There was a cry of extreme pain from the carriage, this voice was from Mama Jiang, obviously she heard the conversation outside the carriage, knew that her little master had passed away, and couldn't help crying bitterly.

The embroidered curtains and roller blinds did not restrain Mama Jiang anymore, they glanced at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes, they had been waiting for Ye Manjun since they were children, and they had a deep friendship with Ye Manjun's servants.

They immediately got out of the carriage and headed towards Ye Manjun.

The original confused and confused thoughts, after hearing Mama Jiang's cry, Ye Manjun's mood miraculously calmed down, it was impossible for her to have feelings for a stranger, so she couldn't cry for this cold fiancé, she could only ask calmly, "Is this news true?" ”

Zhu Ziqi, who had been staring at her all the time, could naturally hear the smoothness of her voice, did this woman really not care or pretend? He didn't seem to be able to tell the difference now, but soon he would know the answer, "I don't need to lie to you, the truth will be revealed as soon as this matter arrives in Ruyang City." ”

"I believe in you." Ye Manjun said indifferently, now that she knew what was going on, there was no need for her to stand here, so she turned around and left.

Zhu Ziqi looked at the straight backbone, and wanted to call her to say a few words of comfort, but in the end he didn't say a word, but just watched her leave.

"Girl?" The two maids rushed to the front.

"I'm fine." Ye Manjun said calmly.

The embroidered curtain glanced at the surrounding Ruyang City guards, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, should we return to the capital?" Now that the son is dead, girl, you haven't married him yet, so you are not a survivor, and you can still walk away. ”

"Yes, girl, let's go back, there is no need to go to this Ruyang City." The roller shutter also had to be used in Ruyang City, as long as she could return to the capital, even if the girl encountered this incident, she could still be allowed to a good person, there is no doubt about it.

Ye Manjun's face smiled sadly, "Do you think I can still go?" ”

The two maids were stunned and couldn't answer.

Ye Manjun glanced around at the heavily guarded appearance of the guards of the Ruyang Palace, laughed at himself, and looked up at the sky that day, "I have long been gone and have never returned." ”

Whether Zhu Zijie lives or dies, her fate is closely linked to the Ruyang Palace, so when she heard the bad news, she never thought about returning to the capital for a moment.

Her dry eyes suddenly had a mist, and she knew that these tears were not for the unfortunate fiancé who had died of death, but for her own wandering fate, and even she didn't know what it would be like in the next few decades.

Dazed, unprecedentedly enveloping her body and mind, ahead, waiting for her will only be more severe, and it will not make her easy.

The capital, the Marquis of Xiangyang.

As soon as Ye Xuyao came back, he ran back to the South Garden, recently his wife and children strictly occupied his body and mind, as soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he didn't see the scene of his wife teasing the child, but he saw her sitting on the Luohan bed, but she was holding a baby's clothes in her hand, I don't know what she was thinking?

"Lady?" He stepped forward and whispered.

"You're back?" Lin Long came back to her senses and looked at her husband.

"What's going on?" Ye Xuyao said with a stern expression.

"Nothing." Lin Long was obviously not very interested, "You go and change your clothes, I'll go and call the nurse to bring the children in." ”

Ye Xuyao hurriedly grabbed her hand to get up, and with a hard effort, Lin Long sat down beside him.

"No, it's hot, I smell it." Lin Long was about to be annoyed by this confinement, but a large group of people around her, she couldn't resist at all, and they all told her that if she didn't sit well this confinement, she would definitely suffer in the future.

"What smell on you haven't I smelled?" Ye Xuyao said something that made Lin Long's face blush, and he reached out to wrap his hand around her waist that had shrunk a lot, but compared to the unying grip before giving birth, it was naturally much thicker now.

Lin Long clenched his fist and slapped him lightly, "How dare you say it?" ”

"Okay, tell me who annoyed you?" Ye Xuyao always remembered that she was not embarrassed, and didn't want her to be too depressed after giving birth.

Lin Long knew that she couldn't hide it at this time, so she handed the baby clothes in her hand to her husband, "This is from my second mother." ”

"What's wrong? I saw that I was doing a good job, and I can only say that your second mother has a heart. Ye Xuyao turned over and over again and couldn't find anything wrong, "Although our children have a lot of clothes, but this is a piece of your second mother's heart, you accept it, what's the trouble?" ”

"This is what my mother did." Lin Long smiled bitterly and said the answer in his heart.

When Lin Lushi gave it to her, she didn't say anything verbally, but as soon as she opened it and took a closer look, she recognized the needlework that belonged to Quan Meihuan, which was her own mother, how could she not recognize it? Without Lin Lu's confirmation, she already had the answer in her heart.

Ye Xuyao hugged Lin Long's waist tightly, "I thought something was wrong?" If you don't like it, let's not accept it, if you don't want to, I'll ask someone to prepare a gift and send it to the Huo family. ”

Lin Long was also upset, she didn't expect Quan Meihuan to pay attention to her production, and also sent clothes to make so many children, and said in her heart that there was no half of the waves, it was impossible. After a while, she said: "Okay, just do as you say, I'll let people send the backup gift back to her, her life doesn't seem to be very good." ”

Thinking about what she saw that time, she should back up the generous gifts to her and let her improve her life.

As for the baby clothes sent by Quan Meihuan, in the end, she reluctantly accepted it, but whether she gave it to her own children or not was another matter.

After thinking about it like this, she told Ruxia to come in and put away these clothes, so as not to be upset again.

"Lady, you have to relax." Ye Xuyao dropped a kiss on her cheek.

Quan Meihuan didn't expect Lin Long to give her a gift in return, watching the servant of the Ye family put down the gift, her expression couldn't help but be stunned, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Since her mother's family sent her back the dowry, she used her dowry silver to change the residence of the Huo family, and now this residence is much better than Luoxia Hutong, but compared with before, it can't be compared.

Fortunately, Huo Yuan's military rewards have also been sent back one by one, and his life is much better now than some time ago.

"Who sent it?" Huo Yan entered the house and saw that the table was full of gifts, and when he stepped forward to take a look, he could see at a glance that these were all good things, "This is a good tonic for my mother." He picked up a century-old ginseng and looked at it with satisfaction.

As soon as Huo Zhou's family is mentioned, Quan Meihuan will grit her teeth with hatred, why don't you die in a hurry for this damn old woman? This ginseng, she would rather throw it into the water than cheapen the dead old woman, so she sneered: "This is my daughter sent it, are you sure you want to eat it?" She's not afraid that it's poisonous? ”

When Huo Yan heard this, he immediately threw down the hundred-year-old ginseng, and said with a cold face: "Throw it outside." ”

"Huo Yan, do you dare?" Quan Meihuan's edges and corners have been worn away a lot by the life of suffering, and she has no love for this Huo Yan when she was young, but she is still tied to him after going around, and now she has less submissive appearance in front of him.

"Kwon Mihuan, don't go too far." Huo Yan sat down unhappily, "Don't think I don't know that you make clothes for that little bastard in private......"

Quan Meihuan slowly put away the things on the table, but said in a stiff tone: "That's my grandson, Huo Yan, clean your mouth, otherwise don't blame me for being bad to my mother, unless you guard her twelve hours a day." ”

This ruthless word poked Huo Yan's soft spot, he and Quan Meihuan quarreled countless times for Huo Zhou's family, but this family still had to be managed by Quan Meihuan, thinking about it like this, he was no longer so strong, "Meihuan, you are here again, can you reason once?" ”

"I'm unreasonable?" Quan Meihuan sneered, "Look at your old lady eating, drinking, and sleeping in that bed, is it easy for me to wait for her?" ”

Huo Yan knew that Huo Zhou's life after the stroke was completely unable to take care of himself, so he touched his nose and didn't refute his wife, but he really didn't like the family surnamed Lin, especially Lin Long.

Since knowing the death of the prince of Ruyang Palace, the journey day and night has slowed down a lot, but Ye Manjun is not in the mood to look at the scenery outside the car window, Jiang Mama has been staring at Ye Manjun's body since she cried that day, and she has not moved away for a moment, for fear that Ye Manjun will run back to the capital.

Ye Manjun didn't pay attention to her, Mama Jiang, who was supposed to have a good relationship, became no longer important after Zhu Zijie's death, no, but she had to watch out for her, who knows what Princess Ruyang would do if she lost her only son? When the time comes, this Mama Jiang will be an accomplice.

"Miss Ye, it's almost time to arrive at the Ruyang Palace, now that the prince is gone, what are your plans?" Jiang Mama said.

Ye Manjun indifferently continued to do the embroidery work in his hands, "If you come, you will be safe." ”

"Miss Ye is really calm." Mama Jiang sneered, she has become a widow now, how can she not be sad or sad? Her family died young, Ye Manjun should cry bitterly.

"How else? Take a rope and hang yourself? Ye Manjun raised his head and looked directly into Mama Jiang's eyes, "I haven't lived enough, and I don't plan to die." ”

She will never be martyred for Zhu Zijie, if this is what her Mama Jiang wants, or what the Ruyang princess Zhu Chen wants, then she can tell them with certainty that she will never die.

When Mama Jiang heard this, her face turned red, "Why are you embarrassed to live alone?" Our son is still miserable underground, so you should go and accompany him......"

"Shut up." The embroidered curtain angrily scolded this Jiang Mama who was going too far, and she once deliberately flattered this old woman for the sake of her own girl, but now it seems so ironic.

"You should die, die for our son-" Mama Jiang said angrily, she would never allow Ye Manjun to live so cheekily, pulling out the silver hairpin on her head with one hand, she stabbed at Ye Manjun angrily.

Ye Manjun was startled, and subconsciously avoided the pointed silver hairpin that stabbed her, "Mama Jiang, are you crazy?" ”

"I'm not crazy, you should be damned." When Mama Jiang saw that the blow missed, she raised the silver hairpin again and stabbed at Ye Manjun, at this moment, she boasted that she was sharing the worries of Princess Zhu Chen. "Why don't you die? As long as you die now, you will be given the title of a lady, which is a decent thing for you and for our sons. ”

As long as Ye Manjun is dead, her little master will be able to close her eyes, and it is not bad for the two to get married.

Ye Manjun was so angry that she choked up, this Mama Jiang is really crazy, and it's not light.

The two maids escorted Ye Manjun out of the carriage, and Mama Jiang, who started to go crazy, was very strong, and the two maids tried to stop her, but her arm was scratched by her silver hairpin, and blood oozed out of the thin summer shirt.

Ye Manjun, who retreated outside the carriage, almost stepped on the air and fell off the carriage, but fortunately, someone hugged her willow waist to prevent her from falling into the carriage and being injured.

She looked at Zhu Ziqi's emotionless eyes in shock, and subconsciously could only hug his neck to stabilize her figure, how embarrassing this posture was, she immediately withdrew her hand after realizing it.

Zhu Ziqi glanced at the people around him, and immediately someone got into the carriage to stop the crazy Mama Jiang.

"Put me down." Ye Manjun asked in a low voice.

Zhu Ziqi lowered her to the ground and looked at her face trying to be calm, "You should thank me." ”

Ye Manjun is not a person who can distinguish between good and evil, and bowed to this person, "This is my thank you, but you didn't remind me that Mama Jiang is a dangerous person, and it's your fault." ”

"I'm not obligated to warn you." Zhu Ziqi is still the old god.

Ye Manjun stroked his messy hair, and looked directly at the man in front of him without fear, "I have the emperor's order, and now that the son of the world is dead, if I die here without knowing it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain to the emperor, right?" ”

Zhu Ziqi raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointed to Mama Jiang who was restrained, "As she said, you died in the name of a virgin, and I believe that the emperor will be happy to award you a chastity archway." ”

Ye Manjun deliberately looked at Mama Jiang, who was still clamoring, and her red eyes showed that she was very determined to die by herself, which made her shudder.

After a moment, she looked at Zhu Ziqi again and shook her head, "No, our Xiangyang Marquis Mansion will not believe it, my brother and sister-in-law will not believe this set of rhetoric, of course, your Ruyang Mansion intends to be the enemy of our Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, so don't count it separately." Second Master Zhu, don't blame me for not reminding you, if I have three longs and two shorts now, what your palace will do in the future will be difficult to move an inch in the capital. ”

In the end, she looked at Zhu Ziqi with confidence, even if the Ruyang Palace was a place where royal power was declining, they still had to obey the orders of the current emperor, unless they wanted to rebel, then naturally they didn't have to care about her little life. But judging from Zhu Ziqi's actions, this Ruyang Palace, no, but Zhu Ziqi himself does not look like a person who will rebel.

"Second Master Zhu, let's make a deal." Ye Manjun said.
