Seeing that her husband's momentum was suppressed by herself, the eldest lady finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this world, what you can't ask for is always the best, and even more so for women in the eyes of your men." ”

When Zhu Chengqian saw his wife's smug face, he understood that the queen and the Yang family had a plan, and reminded him solemnly: "Don't be too smart, just treat others as fools." ”

"Those who are too smart, there are many people, but it is not our turn." Yang said coldly, "In this matter, no matter how much the emperor likes it, she will do whatever she wants, and she will never say half a word, or don't care about anything." In short, there will be people jumping in a hurry, not afraid that there will be no excitement to watch, do you say that the concubine will be willing to let the main master step on her head? ”

Zhu Chengqian frowned: "What is the main master?" Princess Min? ”

Yang said: "In the eyes of the emperor for so many years, the concubine is just a replacement for the eldest lady of the Min family back then, will she understand in her heart?" Now that the Lord is here, there is nothing to do with her, if she offends her sister again, Princess Min will move her fingers, and the concubine will immediately disappear. Naturally, how can the concubine be willing, she must also take action, looking back at the two sisters' fighting methods, it is enough to watch a big show, why should the queen mother do anything? ”

These words are not unreasonable, more than 20 years ago, even if it is not known to the whole world, Zhu Chengqian, who was close to the princes and princes back then, all know it.

But if the Son of Heaven can become the Son of Heaven, how can it be good to be reincarnated, he warned his wife: "Don't underestimate the emperor too much." ”

Yang said: "The master is telling jokes, who dares to underestimate the emperor, in your eyes, is it wrong for our Yang family to do anything?" ”

Zhu Chengqian knew his wife's temper very well, and he didn't want to complicate things, so he said calmly: "You have been angry lately, talk well, and always talk about it, what's the point?" ”

The eldest lady turned her face away and said: "In my life, when will the wind be smooth, but I don't have a son, and I deserve to be old and have nothing to rely on." ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "Rong'er and Jue'er are both your sons. ”

The eldest lady turned around abruptly, but before she could speak, she was stopped by her husband.

Zhu Chengqian said: "I'm sorry for your words, I have also said it for a lifetime, but the Liu family and the Chu family, you have to take it and give birth to children for me." Now that you have children, you are becoming more and more mean to them, and you think that everyone in this family is blind? I'm not talking for them, I'm for your own good, and you really have to wait for the day to spread the word that you, a duchess, are jealous and mean, and you are happy? ”

Yang said coldly: "Grandpa Zhu, have you long been tired of me?" ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "Every time you quarrel and say this sentence, you just don't make sense in your heart, don't you?" ”

The eldest lady's eyes flickered, avoiding her husband's gaze.

"We have been married for more than 20 years, and we have been married for almost 30 years, don't I have you in my heart, and you don't have me in your heart?" Zhu Chengqian said, "Why do you have to torture each other when you are getting old? The affairs of the court are one size, and the affairs of the family are one another, and you are angry in your heart, and you quarrel and fight with me, which is also a matter between our husband and wife. If you torture the Liu family and the Chu family, or mistreat the children, it will become a family affair, or even an outsider's business. ”

Yang clenched her fists with both hands, she had never won a quarrel in her life.

On the surface, her husband lets her do everything and accommodates her, and she is in charge of all the big and small things in the family.

But in fact, in this life, in this family, everything is in the hands of her husband, and he has never let go.

"You're just relying on it, I have you in my heart." The eldest lady was very painful, and said the same thing countless times, "But I don't even know what the woman in your heart looks like, you Zhu family owes me, you owe me, and you will never be able to pay it off......"

Zhu Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief instead, and stepped forward to comfort her: "I'm not good, it's all my fault." ”

As the night deepens, the lights in various parts of the city are gradually extinguished, and only the lanterns in front of the Kishu Palace, whether in Kishu or now in the capital, will light the way home for the prince and the prince who have left home.

In the palace, the subordinates who followed the princess's mother and daughter from Kishu adapted to the life and water and soil of the capital, and the family was already in order.

At this moment, Princess Min took her maidservant to her daughter's courtyard, and the lights in other rooms were turned off, only Yao Nian's boudoir was still on.

She ordered someone to stay and came in the door alone, her daughter was stroking something with her back to the door, and suddenly heard footsteps, hurriedly hidden, turned around and smiled: "Mother is really, I came in the middle of the night, and I didn't make a sound." ”

"Don't hide, I've seen it all." Princess Min smiled and sat down on the side, "I didn't come quietly, how do you know what you're messing with?" ”

"Nothing......"

"Take it out, and I'll take a look."

Yao Nian stood in front of the table, refusing to take it out easily, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother, and said: "Just look at it, it's to see, you can't take it." ”

Princess Min said angrily: "Okay, take it out, who is rare of your things?" ”

Then she saw her daughter take out a box, and the box was covered with silk cloth, and it was a cold dagger, and the princess picked up the dagger and pulled out the scabbard, but she saw that the cold light was cold and the murderous air was steaming.

She glanced at her daughter, and then saw that there was a delicate small porcelain vase on the side, and reached out to take it, but was hurriedly stopped by Yao Nian: "I can't touch it, this thing can't be touched." ”

"What is it?"

"Arsenic."

The princess's hand hung in the air, and after a slight tremble, she retracted it.

"Nian'er......" she was full of distress, "Promise my mother, don't use this thing easily, whether it's a dagger or arsenic, don't use them easily." My mother doesn't want your hands to be stained with blood, even if my father and brother can no longer protect you, my mother will protect you. ”

Xiang Yaonian was not sad, and promised his mother with a smile: "I won't use it easily, the emperor has thousands of troops, we are mother and daughter, we can't fight with our strength, but we can use our brains." Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to assassinate the emperor. ”

Princess Min put her arms around her daughter and stroked her back: "Daddy and brother won't leave us, they will definitely come back, Nian'er, don't do anything stupid." ”

Yao Nian leaned on his mother's shoulder, his eyes cold and firm.

Five years have passed, the life and death of her father and brother are unknown, she knows that hope has become more and more slim, this time in Beijing, mother and daughter are each holding the heart of death, vowing to find out the truth five years ago.

Xiang Yaonian is not afraid of death, but she is unwilling to die in vain, even at the last moment, she has to avenge her father and brother.

"Mother, shall we bring my sister-in-law back?" Yao Nian said, "I can't let my sister-in-law be locked up by the Zhu family all the time." ”

Princess Min calmed down and said, "I originally planned that your sister-in-law would go back to her parents' house than follow us, but I didn't expect that the Zhu family would turn her daughter like this." ”

"Fuyi said, my sister-in-law doesn't know anyone anymore, but I still remember to go back to Kishu." Yao Nian's momentum softened, and he said sadly, "Sister-in-law must still remember my brother and remember us." ”

Princess Min said: "I didn't expect that Master Yan's daughter was actually in the Zhu family, which is a good thing for us, but we can't involve Miss Yan." ”

"But Fuyi doesn't think so." Yao Nian said, "She always thought that her sister-in-law was still in Kishu, and after coming to Zhu's house, she found that her sister-in-law was locked up by them, so she wanted to send her sister-in-law back to Jizhou." I'm worried about what to do, I didn't expect us to come, you said that this thing is all together, as if it is destined, do we not do anything? ”

"You told me to think about it." Princess Min said, "Nian'er, I wish the family Ye Da has deep roots, and it is not good for us to fall out with them." The purpose of this trip is not to go against the world, we just want to find out what happened five years ago, or maybe we can find clues about your father and brother. You want to take care of your sister-in-law, and you have to wait for us to gain a firm foothold first, and then my mother will definitely go and bring your sister-in-law back, okay? ”

"I listen to my mother." Yao Nian said, "But I made an appointment with Fuyi to meet again and discuss this matter, but unfortunately there is no chance, and I can't rush to Zhujia." ”

Princess Min said: "There will be a chance, don't worry, take your time, don't let people see through our minds at once, even if it is to the girl." ”

In the early morning of the next day, the door of Qingqiu Pavilion opened early, and Fuyi was dressed neatly, and he was going to the inner courtyard to accompany the old lady for breakfast. Halfway through last night's matter, he was interrupted by the third lady Youxi, and the ancestors and grandchildren before the separation said that they would discuss it again this morning.

Coincidentally, when he met Zhu Rong coming back from outside, he seemed to have not slept all night, but he knew that he was not on duty yesterday.

There were Cuizhu and they followed, just nodding and greeting each other, and they passed by.

Citron supported the young lady, looked at her, and listened to Cuizhu say on the side: "Our third prince is really busy, but a guard of the forbidden palace, what is there to be busy, isn't it just patrolling the palace?" But the third son, he, he still goes on a business trip at every turn, when you come to the house, the third son doesn't know where he went, and he left for more than ten days. ”

Fu Yi said: "I don't understand the things in the palace, I guess the emperor values him." ”

But she knew in her heart that Zhu Rong's whereabouts could not be easily known, they met on the river and met again, and they were already outside his calculations, and she almost became the one who did something bad for him. What would happen if it was known that Zhu Rong had been on that boat?

There are too many people I don't know about my heart, and every time I think of this, my heart is empty.

Because of this, although my aunt and grandmother promised her and Zhu Rong the future, Fu Yi did not have full confidence to face it.
