Chapter 7: Finally Returning Home (1)
Yeli stared at her slender back and didn't say a word, until she turned the corner and couldn't see the shadow anymore, then she said coldly: "You guys go to investigate this woman immediately, don't let go of any details." β
"Yes!" Mingzhu responded.
Yeli took out a pale yellow piece of rice paper from his arms and glanced at it a few times, but frowned slightly. After a while, he took a deep breath, lifted the reins and patted the horse away. The guards who followed rushed up and followed their master.
But it was said that after Ye Mengmeng returned to the Hou Mansion, the mansion was turning the world upside down for her disappearance, and her appearance was more exciting than the Jade Emperor's mother.
It turned out that the Hou Ye Zongze and his wife Wen had a pair of children. Let's not talk about my sister-in-law, I have a loose temperament, and I travel outside for half a year. The couple didn't bother to care about him, they just doted on this daughter-in-law, and they used their daughter to be lawless and willful since she was a child. Who knew that when the beloved daughter went to the temple to make a vow a few days ago, she was taken captive by thieves. The couple was very anxious, asking people around, and at the same time not thinking about tears at home tea and dinner.
As an empathetic and kind-hearted heroine, Ye Jingjing naturally plays the role of a good girl, always staying by her father and mother's side, anxious about what they are anxious about, and thinking about what they think. In order to express her deep sisterhood with her eldest sister, she even shed sad tears, and the whole person was obviously thinner.
On this day in the house, the Hou Ye and his wife waited for a whole day, but there was still no news of their daughter, seeing that the sky was getting dark, the couple sat in the hall and looked at each other speechlessly. Ye Jingjing sat next to her and shed tears.
"Father, mother, this time the eldest sister suffered such a disaster, all blame Jingjing, it's Jingjing who is not good......"
Although Mrs. Hou's wife Wen was anxious and sad, she had not lost her mind, she shook her head and said sadly: "Silly child, how can I blame you? It's Mengmeng's child's life is miserable, and he encounters this unwarranted disaster......"
"Why don't you blame me?" Ye Jingjing's eyes were red. "Originally, I would have liked Jingjing to go this time, but Jingjing was not in good health that day, so my eldest sister went for me...... Those thieves, they were originally targeting Jingjing......"
Hou Ye was not surprised, looked at Ye Jingjing, and said suspiciously: "Three girls, could it be that you have provoked some enemies outside?" β
Ye Jingjing smiled bitterly: "Daddy, have you forgotten what happened in Jiren Hall last year?" β
"Last year?" Hou Ye's heart moved, and he frowned and said, "What do you mean...... Who did it? β
"Yes, Daddy, those people are so scoundrels, they will definitely hold a grudge after being driven away by the prince, and if they can't do it openly, they will make secret moves, and it's hard to say if they do this kind of thing......"
The incident that Ye Jingjing said was a small incident that happened in Jirentang a year ago.
On that day, a man with severe abdominal pain was brought in by his family. As soon as Ye Jingjing was diagnosed, she found that the man should have been poisoned and had no power to return to heaven, so she told the truth at the moment.
But the man's family begged her to be healed.
Ye Jingjing's heart relented for a while, so she had to do her best to save her, but the man didn't come back to life after all.
This was originally expected, but the man's family relied on Ye Jingjing, and went to Jirentang every day to make trouble, saying that Ye Jingjing had died as a doctor, and the reputation of Jirentang was very bad.
The matter was very big, and the gang even threatened to rob Ye Jingjing to accompany the man to the funeral...... At this time, Zhenbei Wang Yeli suddenly appeared, he drove away the gang and relieved Ye Jingjing's siege.
Those people didn't dare to come because of the presence of the king of Zhenbei, but they always held a grudge.
Ye Jingjing met Ye Li for the first time at that time.
Wen was a little unconvinced: "Won't it? It's been so long, if those people intend to retaliate against you, how can they wait so long? β
Ye Jingjing's face froze slightly, but she quickly sighed and said, "What my mother said is extremely true, however, other than that, Jingjing really can't think of anything else that has offended people?" β
Hou Ye and his wife glanced at each other, and they both thought of one place in their hearts.
Wen hesitated: "Master, could it be that she is cute...... What people shouldn't be messed with? "After all, what her daughter looks like, she knows better than anyone else.
Hou Ye's expression also became nervous. "Madam, why don't I go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to help you check? After all......"
"Your Highness, he ...... Will it matter? β
"Probably will?"
In fact, Hou Ye is also a little uncertain. Although the prince has a marriage contract with his beloved daughter, because of his daughter's arrogant temper, he has made the prince unable to step down several times, so the prince has been very indifferent to his daughter, and there have been rumors recently that the prince still wants to withdraw from the marriage and marry someone else. Of course, he didn't know that this other person was the gentle and virtuous third daughter in front of him.
Husband and wife, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while.
Ye Jingjing spoke immediately on the side: "Father and mother, don't worry, let's do it, it's better for Jingjing to find His Highness, maybe His Highness will ......"
"You're going?" Wen said happily. "But you ......"
Hou Ye hesitated: "You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, is it appropriate to go to him?" Besides, His Royal Highness rarely leaves the palace and stays in the palace all the time, and you can't enter the palace, how can you see him? β
There are regulations in the imperial court that concubines are strictly forbidden to enter the palace, although Ye Jingjing is capable, her identity cannot be changed.
Ye Jingjing smiled slightly: "Father, don't forget, Jingjing is not only the young lady of the Hou Mansion, but also the owner of Jirentang, she has not entered the palace a hundred times, but also fifty times, right?" β
Although Ye Jingjing is good with the prince, few outsiders know the inside story, and every time the prince comes to her, he also uses the banner of buying pills for his mother, so few others want to be crooked, that is, Hou Ye and his wife, they only know that they have a good relationship, but they never thought that the two had already broken through the boundary.
Ye Mengmeng, who has a brutal personality, once secretly followed out, only to find that her fiancΓ© was hugging her sister-in-law, so she was furious and ran to the prince to make a fuss, which made the prince even more disgusted with her.
Hou Ye suddenly said: "By the way, if you don't say it, I forgot." β
Wen Shixi said: "Three girls, will you really enter the palace to find His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
Ye Jingjing said softly: "Of course it's true, mother rest assured, the eldest sister is Jingjing's sister, Jingjing is also very worried about her safety, and Jingjing will not sit idly by and watch the affairs of the eldest sister." β
Wen grabbed Ye Jingjing's hand and held it in the palm of his hand, he was very excited, he didn't know what to say for a while, he only knew that he was crying, and after a while, he choked up and said: "Good boy, it's hard for you to bother, if your eldest sister can be half as sensible as you, your mother doesn't have to worry so much." β
Ye Jingjing smiled slightly and said softly: "The eldest sister is actually quite good, but she is a little anxious. β
Wen sighed: "Third girl, although your mother went early, you have been a good child who has been sensible and filial since you were a child, but it's a pity that your background is ...... Alas, if my mother doesn't have a concubine, I really want to recognize you as a concubine, but it's just ......"
