"Mother!"

As soon as Ah Man opened his eyes, what he saw was Yan Qingge's tearful and smiling face.

He rubbed his eyes, got up with a grunt, and found himself lying on the cot at home.

"Brother, you're awake!" Yan Wan'er also sat on the bed, crawled over with her hands and feet on the soft futon, and pinched Aman's face: "Look if you are still running around, it won't be so easy to go home next time." ”

Ah Man was ignorant, and grinned at Yan Wan'er: "Sister, hug." ”

Looking at his stupid actions, Yan Qingge almost cried again.

"Aman, where did you go yesterday?" Yan Wan'er asked him curiously.

"Big house, with my brother, playing with Aman. Hello brother, Aman eats meat. Aman gestured, his eyes smiling like a curved moon, and two lines of saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Yan Qingge's heart was shocked.

Yesterday, she and the eldest princess of Roufu entered the palace and took Yan Wan'er with them to ask to see the prince, but the prince avoided it.

The three of them waited outside the Chuxiu Palace for a long time, Yan Qingge couldn't bear it, and directly took the eldest princess of Roufu to Fengzao Palace, saying that she missed the deceased queen and wanted to see the queen, because she knew that Yuan Sheng had been raised in Fengzao Palace, what if the prince sent Aman to Fengzao Palace? I didn't expect to be stopped halfway through.

It was almost dark until the palace gate was about to be keyed, and Yan Qingge was persuaded to go home by the eldest princess of Roufu.

At that time, her heart was about to die, who knew that she would stay at home when she saw Aman when she went home, and only after asking her subordinates did she know that someone was driving the carriage to send Aman back, and the person who sent Aman back left, and Yan Qingge fell into a front and back.

"Aman, what is the name of that brother you saw in the palace?" Yan Qingge asked him.

Aman tilted his head and thought: "Brother Diandian! ”

"Everyone else calls him His Highness, right?"

"Yes!" Aman responded and clapped his little hands, very happy.

A dark cloud enveloped Yan Qingge's brows little by little.

Sure enough, yes! At that time, Aman was placed in the Fengzao Palace.

She was blocked in her heart for a while, she especially wanted to vent, she couldn't control the expression on her face, and she was afraid of scaring the child, so she suddenly stood up and walked out.

After walking back and forth in the yard a few times, it was not easy to calm down his chest that was about to explode, Yan Qingge stood under a lilac tree, holding the trunk tightly with one hand, and his shining eyes were clearly visible in the darkness.

can't retreat anymore, and if she retreats again, the prince will always become more and more arrogant and take everything around her away.

In the past, she always thought that as long as she rescued Yan Xiuyu and Yuan Sheng, she would try not to hurt others, but she was forced into this situation step by step.

After taking a few deep breaths, the anger in Yan Qingge's eyes was gradually subdued by her, she packed up her clothes, and called to the side: "Looking for frost, asking for snow, all the gifts you asked you to give yesterday were sent out?" ”

She had to take the initiative, she was too lazy to socialize before, but now, she had to go out and walk around.

"Most of the gifts have been sent! Only a few haven't had time to deliver yet. Miss, Sister Ruyi's family hasn't had time to deliver it yet. Count the days, Sister Ruyi is about to give birth, and the two of us want to ask the eldest lady for a favor, go and give her a gift in person, and take a look at her by the way. Xunshuang and Wenxue said.

Yan Qingge was overjoyed: "Why no one told me this good news, I'll take you to see her." ”

"Yes......" Xunshuang hesitated for a moment, and saw that there was no one around except Yan Qingge and Wen Xue, so he hesitated and said: "Miss, Princess Yan told us not to talk nonsense, in fact, Sister Ruyi's family has not been good for more than half a year." ”

Yan Qingge was stunned: "What's wrong with Ruyi?" ”

Speaking of which, she really hasn't gotten any news about Ruyi in the past six months. She thought that she was busy with housework after Ruyi got married, so she cut off contact, but she didn't expect her to encounter difficulties.

"We heard that not long after the assassination of the emperor last year, under the household registration of Cao Gongzi's side, an entire county barbarian defected, his official position was demoted, and his fame was taken back, and he became white." Wen Xue whispered.

Yan Qingge didn't know about this matter, it must be the eldest princess of Roufu who was hiding it from her.

Just thinking about it, Yan Qingge understood what was going on, the eldest princess of Roufu was afraid that she would come forward and intercede with Cao Yan, and when the time came, she would also pull the Yanwang Mansion in.

At that time, Yan Xiuyu's life and death were still uncertain, and the eldest princess of Roufu hid this matter, Yan Qingge could understand it, but it was clear that so long had passed, but the eldest princess of Roufu didn't mention it at all, and even continued to give a ban, if it weren't for the two of looking for frost and asking snow, wouldn't she still be kept in the dark.

"If you know anything in the future, let me know as soon as possible." Yan Qingge took a deep look at Xunshuang and Wenxue: "You remember, who is your master." ”

Xunshuang and Wenxue rarely heard Yan Qingge say such heavy words, and they were so frightened that they fell to their knees: "Niangniang, we know it's wrong!" ”

"Get up!" Yan Qingge dropped a sentence and took the lead in striding towards the house.

It's not time for these two maids to be punished, although they are not as dedicated to her as Ruyi is, but compared to the rest, they are still much stronger.

There are too few people around her who can be used, except for Xunshuang and Wenxue, the rest of the people are all domestic slaves of the Yanwang Mansion, to put it mildly, now that the eldest princess of Roufu has ordered them to kill themselves, they will not hesitate for half a minute.

After entering the house, Aman was still playing with Yan Wan'er.

Yan Qingge saw that the time was not early, and said, "Settle them." ”

When the nurses heard this, they immediately went to do it, and in a few moments the house was born in peace.

Xunshuang and Wenxue lowered their eyebrows and followed Yan Qingge into the house, Yan Qingge sat quietly for a while, and instructed them: "Go and open the warehouse, prepare things, and we will go to see Ruyi tomorrow." Xun Shuang and Wen Xue hurriedly said yes, and they didn't care that it was night, and they worked all night with candles.

Lying on the bed, Yan Qingge was still depressed, in this Yanwang Mansion, without Yan Xiuyu, she would become a complete outsider.

For a while, she couldn't help but think of the fact that before she got married, the eldest princess of Roufu told her again and again whether she wanted to repair the Ning Wangfu and move over there, but she refused.

Tossing and turning all night, Yan Qingge got up early and took the maid to Ruyi's house.

Because he didn't sleep well last night, Yan Qingge was swaying in the carriage, but he fell asleep, and fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage suddenly stopped, Yan Qingge also woke up, only to see the coachman open the curtain and say, "Niangniang, this family said that this is not Caofu, and the house in Caofu was sold to them last year." ”

After the Cao family separated, Cao Yan and his parents moved out to live and bought a small house in the inner city.

Yan Qingge lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that the house looked familiar, and on the plaque hanging at the door, it was replaced with two big characters of Zhou Mansion.

"Ask where the Cao family has moved." Yan Qingge commanded, vaguely feeling that it was not very good in his heart, the Cao family must have encountered something bad, and it was so difficult that it was difficult to sell the house.

Seeking frost and asking for snow are also like frosted eggplants.

They didn't know that such a big thing had happened to the Ruyi family, the last time they got the news of Ruyi, it was when the Cao family had an accident, and it happened to be at that time, they knew that Ruyi was pregnant, calculate the time, Ruyi should give birth, and it has been a long time since the gag order issued by the eldest princess of Roufu, so they dared to tell Yan Qingge the truth.

The coachman communicated with the doorkeeper for a long time, and even took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, only to get the exact news back, and said to Yan Qingge: "Niangniang, that person said that they moved to the outer city, but I know that place, so I will take you there." ”

Sitting in the carriage again, Yan Qingge didn't feel sleepy this time.

About half an hour later, the coachman led Yan Qingge to the destination.

Along the way, Yan Qingge watched the scenery outside the car window change from a quiet and tidy inner city to a lively and bustling outer city street, and then from a lively and bustling outer city street to a dirty and dilapidated alley, and the worry in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Niangniang, the carriage in front can't get in, Ruyi lives in the third door inside." The coachman opened the curtain and walked forward to show Yan Qingge the way.

Yan Qingge looked at the dilapidated shack in the narrow alleyway, and his heart throbbed.

The ground was muddy, there was not even a place to put your feet, the narrow alleys could only allow two people to pass side by side, there was no sunlight all year round, the roots of the walls were covered with thick and slippery moss, and the smell of damp was pungent, and the huts were next to each other, as if they were about to collapse in minutes.

Yan Qingge got out of the car, Xunshuang and Wenxue hurriedly followed one person in front of him, explored the way, and helped her to help her.

The two of them first worked as maids in Yan's Mansion, and then as maids in Yanwang's Mansion, where had they ever seen such a bad environment.

When he arrived at the door of Ruyi's house, Xunshuang knocked on the door and called: "Sister Ruyi, the son of the Cao family, are you at home?" ”

An old man responded from inside the house: "Who is looking for my son and daughter-in-law?" ”

"Our eldest lady has come to see Sister Ruyi." Xunshuang said with tears in her eyes.

With a creak, the door was opened from the inside, revealing the face of an old man full of ravines.

Yan Qingge recognized it after identifying it, this old man was Ruyi's mother-in-law.

When preparing for the wedding, Yan Qingge saw Ruyi's mother-in-law, she didn't look old at all, she always smiled slightly, obviously her life was very good, but she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she had become like this!

Yan Qingge was taken aback, and looked at the old woman with white hair: "Are you Ruyi's mother-in-law?" You...... How long have you gone, how are you doing! ”

Ruyi's mother-in-law shook her head at Yan Qingge and smiled slightly: "Hey! I can't imagine that it's you, come in! Ruyi is always looking forward to you, so I'm going to call Ruyi home to see you. ”

Tears flashed across Yan Qingge's face: "What's wrong with Ruyi?" Isn't she about to give birth? ”

"It's about to give birth, I don't have the ability, and I still have to run her outside!" Ruyi's mother-in-law showed a sad expression.

At this time, Yan Qingge saw that Ruyi's mother-in-law was holding a thick branch as a cane in her hand, leaning on it with great difficulty, only one foot was exposed under her skirt, and the other half was empty.
