Fortunately, Taohuazhuang is not far away, and it will arrive in an hour and a half.

After arriving in Zhuangzi, Ye Mengmeng instructed the craftsmen to sort out the abandoned houses as residences. She, Mingzhu Ruyi and the guards still live in the old courtyard of Lao Lin Tou's house.

On the second day, the construction was in full swing, this time, Ye Mengmeng personally commanded, there was no shortage of silver and no shortage of people, and the progress of the project was very fast.

Time flies so fast, and before I know it, Ye Mengmeng has been in Taohuazhuang for seven days. Her mind was completely focused on Zhuangzi, and she almost forgot about the night departure of the capital and her gorgeous princess mansion.

On this day, the craftsmen got up early in the morning to work, Ye Mengmeng did not dare to sleep lazy, got up early and hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, ate two steamed buns, and climbed to the dirt slope behind the house.

This position is relatively high, so it is convenient for her to take charge of the overall situation.

Mingzhu Ruyi is on the right and side, and he does not dare to slack off.

After lingering on the hillside for an hour, the master and servant went down the hill and returned to the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came to the courtyard.

The man was a middle-aged man with a shrewd appearance. This person Ye Mengmeng had never seen before, and looked at him suspiciously.

The man was also secretly looking at her, and the look on his face was very surprised.

Chen Wudao: "This is our princess."

The man's eyes sank, and he stepped forward to salute.

"The villain has seen the princess."

"You are?" Ye Mengmeng sat down on a chair and took a sip from the teacup on the table.

The man's demeanor was also calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a faint hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.

"The villain's surname is Liu Mingfu, and he is the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang in the capital......"

Ye Mengmeng squirted out the tea with a "poof", almost spraying the man.

The man's brow furrowed.

"You...... Are you from the Marquis of Jinyang? Ye Mengmeng looked at him strangely, this person was born, she had never seen this person when she was in the Hou Mansion. This person doesn't seem to be simple, but he got mixed with the housekeeper in a short period of time?

Liu Fu nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Mengmeng frowned and said, "You are the housekeeper, what about the prince of the Hou Mansion?" - This palace means that this palace used to have a close relationship with your eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, so this palace knows that the person in charge of the Hou Mansion is the prince, not a housekeeper. Will you be - a pretending butler? ”

Liu Fu said unhurriedly: "Niangniang said that she was laughing, how dare the little one?" Even if you borrow ten guts, you don't dare, the small one is really the housekeeper of the Marquis of Jinyang. ”

"Is it the prince of the world—will you be the butler?"

"No," Liu Fu said, "It's the third lady of my family, and the current crown princess is also." ”

"What? The Crown Princess? As soon as she heard this name, Ye Mengmeng understood everything, and her face suddenly became unsightly, she put down the teacup and sneered. It turns out that you are the slave of the crown princess, and this palace is underestimated. Well, what did your master tell you to do here today? Help me dig a mountain? Thank you for your kindness, but the palace doesn't need it anymore. See? There are already craftsmen in the main palace, and there are enough people. ”

Liu Fu shook his head and said: "Niangniang misunderstood, the little one didn't come to help Niangniang dig the mountain, but to ...... Ask the mother to stop digging the mountain. ”

"What? Stop digging mountains? Why is that? Ye Mengmeng's expression was not panicked, she had already been mentally prepared for this situation.

"Niangniang must have forgotten, whose property is this Zhuangzi now?"

"Who's?"

Liu Fu said proudly: "Naturally, it is our crown princess!" When my mother-in-law was not out of the cabinet, this Zhuangzi was assigned to her name, and it was listed on the dowry list. The princess came to ask the princess Niangniang: What kind of behavior is it to forcibly occupy other people's property? ”

Ye Mengmeng didn't answer, Fu picked up the teacup again, took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "Steward Liu, as the princess of Zhenbei, this palace will naturally take care of my husband's reputation, how can he forcibly occupy other people's land?" Naturally, there is evidence in this palace to prove that this Zhuangzi is not your crown princess, but someone else. ”

"Someone else?" Liu Fu was stunned and blurted out, "Who is it?" ”

"You can't control this." Ye Mengmeng's expression turned cold, "You go back and tell your master, if she wants to go back to Zhuangzi, okay, let her come to see the palace in person." ”

Liu Fu hesitated, "This ...... My mother, she is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to walk far. ”

"Then it can't be helped." Ye Mengmeng spread her hands, "No matter what your mother says, she has to be honored as the imperial aunt of the palace, and you can't let this aunt of the palace go to see her, right?" That's a mess, isn't it? Besides, since your mother is so greedy when she is pregnant, her eyes are still staring at Zhuangzi, and this palace guesses that she will definitely come in person. ”

Liu Fu saw that she was calm and confident, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he was not sure whether what she said was true or not, so he had to salute and turn around and leave the courtyard.

As soon as Liu Fu left, Chen Wu stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, will there really be a problem with this Zhuangzi?" After all, it is the property of the Hou Mansion......"

"Who said it was the property of the Hou Mansion?" Ye Mengmeng interrupted him.

Chen Wu pondered for a while and said, "Last year, my subordinates came here with the prince......" Speaking of this, he paused.

Ye Mengmeng said: "Go on, why did you stop?"

"Yes, when we came last year, we met the prince of the Hou Mansion, Ye Gongzi and the third lady were here to deal with the eldest lady's funeral. The subordinates heard the eldest prince say that this Zhuangzi will be given to the third lady in the future......"

"Really? Did the eldest prince really say that? ”

"Yes, I heard this at the time, but whether it changed later, my subordinate Liu doesn't know."

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Ye Mengmeng's mouth, and said: "To be honest, this eldest prince of Zhuangzi has no right to deal with it at all, so what he said is basically invalid." Because the master of this Zhuangzi has someone else. ”

"Someone else? Who is it? "Chen Wu is not strange, Mingzhu Ruyi is also very curious.

Ye Mengmeng smiled: "This, let me sell a pass for the time being, anyway, this time, I will definitely let the princess come with anger, and then go back with anger."

Mingzhu said: "Niangniang, will the crown princess come in person?"

"Of course, she must come in person for this matter, and others are afraid that it will not be able to be done."

"But......" Ruyi glanced around, "Niangniang, although the scenery of this place is good, but it is nothing, why did she come so far?" ”

"Don't worry, she will definitely come," Ye Mengmeng curled her lips and smiled, "If it is not as I expected, she will come tomorrow morning." ”

The minions couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that this little peach blossom village was really getting more and more bizarre.

Mingzhu Ruyi still doesn't believe it, the crown princess is a person with a body, and the prince will agree to let her go out of the palace and run into the mountains?
