Ma Yurong didn't fully believe Zhao Ying's words. If these words came from Zhao Ying's mouth, she might have believed it, but Zhao Ying didn't say it, the whole thing was narrated by Zhao Ying's girl, Zhao Ying just didn't deny it, that is, she acquiesced.

She didn't even say directly: "That's what it is." This is not quite in line with the calm, graceful, and frank temperament and words and deeds she used to show in front of people.

However, Ma Yurong also believes that Zhao Ying at this moment cannot have any personal relationship with the third prince. Regardless of whether the words and deeds of the three princes said by Zhao Ying's girl are true or false, at least the two needles and threads are not private tokens of private affection, because one is embroidered with pine cranes to prolong the year, and the other is embroidered with gold and jade, the former is a common embroidery pattern for the elderly, and the latter is embroidered with peonies, which is very compatible with the queen's identity. Therefore, Zhao Ying said that these two needles and threads are dedicated to the Queen Mother and the Queen, which Ma Yurong believes.

Since the embroidery is not a proof of private feelings, the three princes came to see Zhao Ying in the name of the queen mother and the queen, and asked for embroidery, but then detained the embroidery, and after Zhao Ying got married, he took it out and said in front of Zhao Ying, which was indeed suspected of coercion.

Ma Yurong thought of the words and deeds of the third prince on weekdays, and strangely didn't feel how surprised. It's just this kind of thing, except for the three princes and Zhao Ying, no one knows the real truth. And this kind of peach-colored rumor, even if it can be clearly investigated and understood in the end, it will not escape the slander of gossip, which is not good for everyone. Zhao Ying's life is ruined, the Ma family will also be disgraced, and the third son of Ma may be suspected of being a green hat for the rest of his life.

But if you completely pretend not to know, Ma Yurong is worried that the third prince sent a secret letter to Zhao Ying with a threatening meaning, asking for a meeting, there is some kind of conspiracy. Does he want to continue to play with Zhao Ying and completely step on the faces of the eldest princess Yongning and the Ma family, or does he plan to blackmail Zhao Ying and help him achieve some kind of goal after marrying into the Ma family?

Ma Yurong didn't say anything at the time, but just appeased Zhao Ying a few words, promising not to leak this matter easily, and asked Zhao Ying not to meet the third prince in private, just stay at home and prepare for marriage. If the third prince sent someone to deliver the letter again, he didn't have to burn the letter, just send it to her.

When Zhao Ying sent Ma Yurong out, she pleaded with tears: "Sister Rong, I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do, and I won't do anything to defile the lintel of the Zhao family and shame the Ma family no matter what, don't worry!" ”

Ma Yurong said: "I believe in my sister. My sister is ready to get married with peace of mind. Then he took Xie Yinghui and left.

Xie Yinghui was far away from Zhao's house, and only then did she let out a breath, only to feel a headache. She was really unlucky to encounter such a selfish thing. Ma Yurong trusted her and did not let her leave, but questioned Zhao Ying in front of her, and she was very grateful for the trust of her friends. But on the contrary, the pressure in her heart is also greater.

She asked Ma Yurong in a low voice at the time, "What are you going to do?" Do you want to tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess about this? "It's impossible not to tell, right? Such a big thing!

Ma Yurong hesitated: "I want to wait for a while to see when the third prince will send a letter to the sister of the Zhao family." After reading the letter he wrote, I can judge whether Sister Zhao's statement is true or false. If it is true, she is innocent and calculated, I naturally have to think about her and cannot make this matter public.

"My mother's nature desires love to live, and evil desires death. She liked Sister Zhao in the past, so when she saw that Sister Zhao couldn't become a royal daughter-in-law, she simply married her back to be her daughter-in-law. Once she knew that Sister Zhao had an affair with the third prince, there would always be a thorn in her heart. Even if the third brother and Sister Zhao can get married smoothly, Sister Zhao will not have a good life in our family in the future! ”

Zhao Ying didn't have a good life, how could Ma Sangongzi, who was her husband, be happy? Ma Yurong didn't want her brother to be implicated. As long as Zhao Ying is innocent and wholeheartedly married to Ma Sangongzi, Ma Yurong will treat her as a family member and try her best to shelter her. And as long as she can keep her family harmony and hide one or two secrets, it is nothing to Ma Yurong.

Xie Yinghui understood, this is Ma Yurong's kindness. She asked again: "If Sister Zhao's master and servant lied, did she really have a personal relationship with the third prince in the past?" ”

Ma Yurong lowered her face and said, "If that's the case, why do I need to protect her?" Naturally, it's a return to my mother! "The wedding may not be able to go ahead as usual, and it may not be affected, but even if Zhao Ying can marry into the Ma family safely, it is difficult to say what the future situation will be.

Ma Yurong patiently waited for news from Zhao Ying's side, and she also privately sent someone to watch near the residence of the third prince, who was from the old palace. Xie Yinghui just took Xie Yingrong home, and was busy asking a doctor to get medicine for her, and she didn't see Ma Yurong for a few days. When she was done and went back to contact Ma Yurong, she realized that the third prince had never sent a letter to Zhao Ying again, and the old palace man Lian Zhu also acted as usual, without any unusual behavior.

Ma Yurong suspected that she met Lianzhu at the Zhao family that day, and Lianzhu reported it afterwards, which made the third prince vigilant, so she no longer contacted Zhao Ying.

And Zhao Ying's side, I don't know if she revealed the secret to the relationship with her future sister-in-law, after she was sick for a few days, she saw that the attitude of the eldest princess of Yongning remained unchanged, but she calmed down, and her condition also improved greatly. Ma Yurong and Xie Yinghui went to see her again and found that she had completely lost that panicked appearance, calm and graceful, as if she had returned to the image before entering the palace draft.

When the eldest princess Yongning saw her like this, she liked this future daughter-in-law more and more, and she was often full of praise inside and outside the palace.

Ma Yurong was a little worried, at this point, if she told her mother the truth again, she was afraid that the eldest princess of Yongning would be uncomfortable. And the more Zhao Ying looked at it, the more she looked like an innocent person, and she couldn't bear to harm the former and destroy it for life. On the other hand, Ma Yurong also noticed that her third brother's straightforward temperament actually only communicated with Zhao Ying twice and sent a few things, and she had a heart of admiration for her fiancée. If this marriage doesn't work out, he will be very sad, right?

Now, as long as Ma Yurong and Xie Yinghui, the two insiders, do not reveal their secrets, and the three princes can keep their mouths shut, Zhao Ying can successfully marry into the Ma family and be a loving couple with the third prince of Ma, and everyone can be happy. Ma Yurong doesn't want to be the one who destroys this happiness, so she has to beware of the third prince.

It's a pity that Ma Yurong tried to enter the palace twice to talk to the third prince in private, but she couldn't do it, and she suspected that the other party was deliberately pretending to be stupid to avoid it. But if he can't get a word from the third prince, and then get Zhao Ying's private belongings back, if he takes the initiative to reveal this secret one day, and then uses the embroidery as evidence, the eldest princess of Yongning and everyone in the Ma family and the Zhao family will all lose face! Even if Zhao Ying's innocence can be proved in the end, what will happen? With this kind of scandal, the wounds in the hearts of the parties will always exist.

At this time, Xie Yinghui thought of a letter from home, mentioning that Xiao Ruiren, the cousin of the third prince, was in Huyin's hometown and was familiar with his own siblings, so he wrote this secret letter to his brother, hoping to ask Xiao Rui to help Ma Yurong give a sentence to the third prince: "I met Lianzhu a few days ago, I don't know if His Royal Highness is a true gentleman?" ”

This sentence did not reveal Zhao Ying's secret, but after hearing it, the third prince will definitely understand what Ma Yurong means, and he can't pretend to be stupid anymore.

Now that Zhao Ying has not passed the door, the three princes have not been able to blackmail her into doing anything, once the truth is revealed, Zhao Ying will certainly not have a good result, and the image of the three princes in front of the emperor and courtiers will be ruined.

At present, the crown prince and the second prince are competing, the former is not favored by the emperor and the courtiers, and the latter is not favored by the courtiers.
