Chapter 181: How to change the prodigal son's money
And here in Jinzhou City, the prefect of Jinzhou released Xiao Zihuan, who was seriously injured, at the request of Liu Yufei that day, and detained Sun Er's group, but Sun Li was killed by Xiao Zihuan, and the others didn't know who the person behind Sun Li was, let alone ask for other news.
After recording the family history of the women from good families who Sun Li had abducted, the Jinzhou prefect sent people to send them back to their hometowns one by one, which caused those women to be grateful and weeping, and the people of Jinju City praised the Jinju prefect.
It's just that the prefect of Jinzhou has been frowning recently, just because although these women have been sent back to their hometowns, there is no news about their daughters, and there is also Xiao Zihuan's matter, although he saved himself and Liu Yufei that day, but in the end he still shielded Sun Li, and when the time comes, it will still be written into the file and sent him for questioning......
He had a few calculations in his heart, and he left for Linshan County, if what Liu Yufei said was not false, then Xiao Zihuan should be in the county government of Linshan County now......
The prefect of Jinzhou thought so, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare carriages and horses and dispatch a small team of soldiers, and asked them to go with him to Linshan County.
Liu Yufei naturally didn't know about these things, she just came out of Imperial Doctor Zhang with Lin Mei, and happened to meet Qi Xiuwu who was guarding there, if it weren't for Liu Yufei's previous friendship with Taiqi Xiuwu, I'm afraid that Qi Xiuwu wouldn't let her and Lin Mei go so easily.
Out of Imperial Doctor Zhang, Lin Mei pulled Liu Yufei and asked in a low voice. "Yufei, when did you meet the prince, don't tell me this...... It's not very interesting! And also. The last time you knew martial arts, you also hid it from me, and honestly, how many other things are you hiding from me? β
Liu Yufei looked stunned, and after hearing Lin Mei's words, he replied weakly, "Lin Mei, I have indeed seen him a few times before. But I never knew he was the prince! Not to mention...... He has such a temperament, and when he was a child, he said that I should be his daughter-in-law, and my father's face turned pale when he listened to it. But then I found out...... He had said this to at least twenty girls! At that time, he was only a teenager, but he knew how to flirt so well. Dial the girl, how could I think he is the prince! β
Lin Mei also sighed softly and frowned. "Yes. If that cynical nature hadn't started a fire today, it would really be no different from those children of the family......"
Liu Yufei nodded while listening, and was about to go back to his yard with Lin Mei, but saw the little guy in the porter hurriedly running to the guest room in the east, Liu Yufei frowned, Shu Wangjin and Xiao Zihuan lived over there, so who was this little guy preaching. To whom?
"Liu Bin, where are you going?" Liu Yufei called out to the little guy. asked softly.
The little guy saw that the person who called him was Liu Yufei, and hurriedly responded respectfully, "If you go back to the eldest lady, the little one is going to Xiao Gongzi...... The prefect of Jinju City has arrived, and now he is greeting the master, I heard the prefect say that this time he is here to ask Xiao Gongzi some words, and the master asked me to pass on Xiao Gongzi to the past......"
Lin Mei didn't react, but Liu Yufei looked impatient and said in a low voice, "His injury is not healed, how can he leave the bed without permission?" β
"He's got a hand injury, not a leg, what can he do?" Lin Mei heard Liu Yufei's words on the side, and knew that although she said that she didn't care on her face, she still had some meaning for Xiao Zihuan in her heart, otherwise why was she so flustered when Xiao Zihuan was injured?
It's just that...... Xiao Zihuan fell in love with Liu Yufei's cousin Zhang Xiaoxi at the beginning, if he saw Zhang Xiaoxi in the future and knew that it was the girl of the Zhang family who saved him at the beginning, what would Liu Yufei do? When the time comes, will it be impossible for sisters to work together? So...... It's better to cut through the mess quickly, and help Liu Yufei cut off the love for Xiao Zihuan now!
Lin Mei thought so in her heart, but how could things go her way?
Liu Yufei didn't know that Lin Mei hated Xiao Zihuan in her heart, so she instructed the little servant, "You tell my father that Xiao Gongzi is seriously ill, so please ask the prefect to move to the guest room......"
The little guy looked embarrassed, and hesitated, "Miss, but, this ......"
"Don't embarrass him, Xiaosheng is fine, presumably this injury will be healed by the end of this year......"
Lin Mei looked behind her, it turned out that Xiao Zihuan had been standing behind the three of them since she didn't know when, although this sentence was said to Liu Yufei, but Xiao Zihuan didn't squint, just looked at the little guy and spoke.
"Look, he himself said that he was fine, so don't worry about eating radishes......" Lin Mei saw Liu Yufei's stunned appearance, and she was also a little soft-hearted, and when she walked over, she held her hand, looked at Xiao Zihuan with a hostile face, and said with a pout, "Let's go, Lin Shi is still waiting for us in the house, if you can't see us, maybe how sad it will be!" β
Lin Mei didn't know that Lin Shi had already been debunked by Shu Wangjin at this time, and now the two were facing each other......
Liu Yufei pursed his lips, seeing that Xiao Zihuan himself said so, he didn't want to say anything more, glanced at Lin Mei standing beside him, and nodded lightly.
Lin Mei snorted coldly at Xiao Zihuan's figure, and deliberately raised her voice and said, "Yufei, didn't Tang Yuanzhi say everything when we went to the Tang Mansion just now, Zhao Tao is truly repentant now, although he is not a good match, but ...... Some people are not uncommon, but there are still people who treat you as a treasure! β
Tao Zhao......
Xiao Zihuan's figure froze, and suddenly remembered the matter of Xiao Zijin and Zhao Tao, if Zhao Tao found out about this matter and told Liu Yufei, not to mention Liu Yufei, her father and Lin Mei would have to peel off a few layers of skin from him!
Lin Mei saw Xiao Zihuan's figure stiffen, and thought that she had poked his weakness, so she couldn't help but glance at him proudly, and walked away with Liu Yufei on her toes.
But they didn't take a few steps before they met Zhou Yanxi and An Yuanhou again, this time it was Lin Mei's turn to freeze, and she subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away. But it had already been seen by An Yuanhou, so he could only stiffen up a smile and shout dryly. "Lord Hou......"
Liu Yufei glanced at Lin Mei, leaned over slightly and saluted An Yuanhou, and said respectfully, "The folk girl has seen ...... An Yuanhou"
An Yuanhou looked at Lin Mei with deep eyes, sighed softly and said, "You still don't want to recognize me?" That's it...... In a few days, you will follow me into Beijing, where the plague is rampant in Linshan County. Poor and remote, where should you stay like the daughter of the Hou Mansion? When the time comes, you will return to the Hou Mansion with me, and your father owes you for more than ten years. I will compensate you! β
Zhou Yanji was already depressed because of the matter between King Yu and Bai Ji, but now that he saw that Marquis An Yuan treated Lin Mei as a treasure, he was naturally angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. Therefore, he could only stiffen his face and smile slightly. Then he immediately turned his head.
Lin Mei listened to An Yuanhou's words and felt quite aggrieved in her heart, but the more she listened to it, the more impatient she felt in her heart, but it was not good to show it on her face, so she could only lower her head and make an obedient appearance, and An Yuanhou felt a lot more comfortable when she saw it, but Liu Yufei, who was standing next to Lin Mei, shook his head lightly and sighed. obviously didn't know how to persuade Lin Mei.
At this time, another concierge's subordinate came to say. Zhao Tao and Zhao Gongzi are here......
Suddenly, let alone Lin Mei, even Liu Yufei, who was in a fairly peaceful mood, couldn't calm down, but Lin Mei felt that this was a good time, so she raised her head and said to An Yuanhou in high spirits, "Master Hou, the people's daughter still has something to do, so she will retire first......"
After that, Lin Mei pushed Liu Yufei, who was standing aside, "Hurry up, go quickly......
ββ¦β¦β
Liu Yufei glanced at Lin Mei silently, pulled his hand out of her hand forcefully, and then turned away expressionlessly.
Lin Mei saw Liu Yufei walking in the direction of her house, and hurriedly shouted after her, "Yufei, you are going the wrong way, you should go this way in the front hall!" β¦β¦ Hey, why are you going faster and faster? Wait for me! β
An Yuanhou nodded slightly, his face full of emotion, "Such Wan'er really looks like she was back then......
Zhou Yanji grinded her teeth on the side, and said in her heart, "Zhao Wanrong was the same as she was back then!" Lin Mei is like this, I'm afraid that if I take her to the old man and lady of the Zhao family now, let them recognize them, and they won't recognize it, this is their granddaughter who has been missing for more than ten years! What's more, Zhao Wanrong was a famous lady in the capital back then, and she was completely different from Mrs. Shu's An Yuntang, and she had a good reputation in the capital!
If Lin Mei is of such a temperament, even if she is not rejected by the people in the capital, no one will regard her as a model of everyone's beauty!
It took a long time for Marquis An Yuan to come back to his senses, and suddenly remembered that there was Zhou Yanji beside him, and said busily, "Xi'er, that's your sister, when the time comes, I will take her into the Hou Mansion, and the two of you should get along harmoniously...... Moreover, Wan'er has just entered the Hou Mansion, but I am afraid that there are still many rules that I don't know very well, and in the future, you have to urge her more......"
Zhou Yanji was unwilling, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only swallow the blood and tears into her stomach, nodded heavily, and responded, "Yes, Dad......"
On the other side, Lin Mei pulled Liu Yufei and quickly walked towards the gate of the county mansion, but halfway through, Liu Yufei found that something was wrong, and refused to go down with Lin Mei, dragging Lin Mei and begging in a low voice, "Lin Mei, let's not go, right?" β
"No...... Zhao Tao, that scum, even dared to come to you?! I'm ashamed of him! How dare he come to you? β
Lin Mei gritted her teeth and said viciously, she really felt worthless for Liu Yufei.
Liu Yufei was also a little gloomy when she heard Lin Mei's words, although she was not interested in Zhao Tao, but she was also a little sad in her heart, she and Zhao Tao had been affectionate and courteous over the years, and had hardly done a thing that was out of order, but they also did what lovers should do on weekdays, and they also went out to play together on Qixi Festival, and they watched fireworks together on Mid-Autumn Festival night, and let go of river lanterns.
She also thought that she would live a stable life with Zhao Tao'an, and after she gave birth to a pair of children, she would also help Zhao Tao marry a few concubines, and then live like this for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect so many things to happen later, and everything almost caught her off guard.
Lin Mei saw that Liu Yufei was really sad, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so she gently held her hand and said, "If you really don't want to see him, I will go on your behalf, and when the time comes, I will cut off his thoughts, so that he will never pester you again......"
Liu Yufei shook his head and said softly, "I'm fine...... It's just that I still have to say this in person, and it's been a few months, and Zhao Gongzi ** is looking for a good relationship again, instead of being obsessed with me alone......"
"When you had a marriage contract with him, I was actually quite happy...... Lin Mei glanced at Liu Yufei and said in a low voice, "I only know that he is outstanding in learning, and you are also a famous talented woman here, it can be said that you are very right, at that time, everyone said that Zhao Tao may be the champion in the future, saying that you are blessed...... At that time, I had a quarrel with Chunyan from the next village, which showed that it was Zhao Tao's good fortune that allowed me to meet you...... It's just, this person, it's really weird......"
Liu Yufei smiled slightly, her face was still a little moved, her two fiancΓ©s were called Zhuangyuanlang, although the two had different tempers, but she and Xiao Zihuan really couldn't get along, and Zhao Tao ...... Don't say it!
The two whispered some whispers, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the gate of the county mansion, and sure enough, they saw Zhao Tao, who had not been seen for a long time.
At this time, he was wearing a navy blue robe, although he was not as graceful as jade like Xiao Zihuan, but he was also a talent, Yushu was in the wind, but his eyes were red and swollen now, and there was a slight cyan stubble on his chin, and he looked more than ten years older than two months ago......
"Yufei ......" The two met at this time, Liu Yufei was slim in a plain long dress, but Zhao Tao was untidy and sloppy, and he didn't look as good as before.
Liu Yufei frowned slightly, and asked out of moral concern, "Zhao Gongzi, how are you doing recently?" β
Zhao Tao saw that Liu Yufei's attitude towards him was the same as before, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and there was a smile on his pale face instantly, and he said happily, "Miss Liu, I'm ...... Very good, I don't know how Miss Liu is doing these days...... No, this sentence is abrupt to me, that incident is my confusion, Miss Liu, you ......"
"Please rest assured, our Yufei is very good!" Lin Mei saw that these two people were greasy and crooked and polite, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she directly snatched Zhao Tao's words and said, "Without you these days, our Yufei can't have a better life, and ...... has a good marriage, the son of that family is a dignitary of the Xiao family in Jiangnan, I don't know how strong he is compared to someone!
