Despite the reluctance of the eldest lady, she finally handed over the key to the big treasury.

Jin Mingyang hung his head, hiding the disdain in his eyes, and after taking the key with both hands, he went to the big library to choose something for the third lady.

Zhen Guogong asked people to prepare ten carriages, from all kinds of food to daily necessities, as well as a lot of all Ye Huai'an's previous jade ornaments, all of which were brought by the golden steward.

What made the eldest lady most resentful was that Zhen Guogong also raised 10,000 taels of silver tickets from the account and asked the gold steward to bring them to Ye Zhiwei.

"Why does she want to take so much of it!" Ye Yaoqin clutched the handkerchief in her hand and gritted her teeth, Ye Zhiwei moved to the village to suffer, why did she give her something.

The eldest lady looked at the departing carriage and sneered: "Don't think that you can win the mind of the Duke of Zhenguo in this way, he is just pitiful of this granddaughter now, and when the emperor points out the position of grandfather to your father, her end will soon come." ”

As she was talking, she suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head and instructed her subordinates: "You go to find someone to inquire about the general surnamed Yan, and see what kind of role he has by the prince's side." ”

Ye Yaoqin didn't know why, she looked up at her mother, but saw a smug smile on the eldest lady's face, "If General Yan is really a celebrity in front of the prince, this family affair will also be settled." ”

The gold steward sent everything to the village.

Ye Zhiwei asked Mama Mi to keep an eye on it herself, and asked people to put everything into the warehouse one by one and lock it up.

Jin Mingyang also specially brought some good ginseng and medicinal materials this time, and Ye Zhiwei asked Xiaolian to secretly boil these and send them to Wu Long.

With good medicine and proper tonics, it only took half a month for Wu Long to recover.

As soon as his injuries healed, he couldn't sit still and took the initiative to resign to her.

This time, she didn't keep him again, but gave him five hundred taels of silver, asked Xiaolian to prepare a few changes of clothes for him, and sent two nurses to leave with him.

Wu Long originally had martial arts on her body, and she didn't want to transfer more people from her, but Ye Zhiwei glared at her, "These two nurses only sent you to Qingfeng Mountain, don't think they will stay, when you get to the academy, you must remember to write back to me and ask them to bring it back, the five hundred taels of silver are also lent to you by me, and you will have to pay it back in the future, and you will have to add interest!" ”

She gritted her teeth, but in Wu Long's ears, it was like a spring rain in March, silently moistening his heart.

She cared about him, for fear that he would not be able to accept her gift, so she did not hesitate to talk to him.

Ye Zhiwei talked for a long time, and when she saw that Wu Long didn't say a word, she raised her head, not wanting to look at each other, but at some point, Wu Long leaned over to her, her eyes were shining.

She instinctively dodged backwards, Wu Long's beauty was indeed attractive, but he was not her dish.

Wu Long's expression quickly returned to normal, and he smiled faintly, "Don't thank you for your kindness, Wu will leave here." ”

"To avoid suspicion, I won't send it." Ye Zhiwei was not that stingy person, so she reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Wu Long was a head taller than her, and she was patted like this, and she couldn't cry or laugh.

Ye Zhiwei's expression was extremely serious: "Good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the master to serve, you must not be temporary, choose the wrong path, recognize the wrong person." ”

The smile in Wu Long's eyes was even stronger, "Got it." For some reason, in this situation, he actually had the illusion that she in front of him was like a wife who was sending her husband on a long journey, and told him carefully, for fear that he would suffer a loss outside, or do something wrong.

He walked out the door, but there was no voice behind him that made him look forward to the most: Wait for you to come back......

A few days after the reception banquet of the Zhenguo Mansion, rumors suddenly spread in the capital, and such a sound could be heard during the banquet in almost all the Gaomen Mansions.

"The third lady of the Zhenguo Mansion was driven to Zhuangzi by her eldest aunt and almost starved to death......"

"It's a pity that she's just an orphan girl, and there really is such a ruthless person?"

"Who says it's not, she won't take anything, and she can't even tolerate her."

At first, the news had not yet reached the ears of the eldest lady, but later, even the people in the streets and alleys began to discuss the matter.

The subordinates of the Zhenguo Mansion who go out to buy will be affected, and when they buy things, there are always people behind them to point fingers.

"Look, that's the people of the Zhenguo Mansion......"

"Is that the Zhenguo Mansion that harshly reprimanded the orphan girl?"

"yes."

"Such a vicious lady, who would dare to marry her daughter......"

As such rumors spread more and more, the eldest lady finally couldn't sit still.

Even if she could afford to lose this person, the Zhenguo Mansion could not have such a reputation, and soon, the palace issued an order and summoned the Zhenguo Gong into the palace.

The eldest lady was very nervous, and kept asking the housekeeper mother around her if there was any news from the palace.

It wasn't until the next morning that the housekeeper's mother hurriedly came back and said, "Grandpa Guo has returned home!" ”

The eldest lady held back the throbbing in her heart and said, "Can there be a holy decree from the emperor?" ”

If there is a holy decree, it must be that the emperor approved the position of grandfather Ye Dongzhou.

The housekeeper's mother shook her head and said, "I didn't see any chamberlains entering the house." ”

The eldest lady's heart was empty all of a sudden, "You read that right? ”

The housekeeper's mother smiled bitterly in her heart, if the holy decree came to the house, it would be so quiet, but I was afraid that she would have already made a fuss about setting up incense to receive the decree.

But she only dared to think about it in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

"The old slave can't be mistaken."

"Where is Grandpa Guo now?"

"I went to the study, and I sent someone to call the uncle over just now."

The eldest lady's heart jumped, and she sat on the edge of Luohan's bed, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

She originally thought that as long as Ye Huai'an was gone, the position of this grandfather would be at her fingertips, but now it seems that it is not the case at all.

Zhen Guogong didn't seem to be enthusiastic about this, and Uncle Ye Dongzhou hinted in front of his father several times before that he should hand over the fold to the palace, asking for the grandfather's position, but in the end, it was all gone.

finally managed to reach the door and heard the footsteps of the uncle Ye Dongzhou, the eldest lady hoped that he could come in, and asked what the emperor had told her father-in-law in the palace, but Ye Dongzhou did not enter the inner room.

The eldest lady waited for a long time, but she didn't see him come in, so she sent the housekeeper's mother out to check.

After a while, the housekeeper's mother replied: "Uncle changed his clothes just now and went to the back yard ......"

In the back yard lived the two-room concubine room of the uncle Ye Dongzhou, the eldest lady's face was a little ugly, she was still here anxiously waiting to hear the letter, but her man went to the backyard to find his concubine.

“…… Something that doesn't make it! The eldest lady scolded hatefully.

The housekeeper's mother was frightened, and hurriedly comforted: "Madame, don't make a noise, beware of letting outsiders hear." ”

The eldest lady could only be patient, thinking that Ye Dongzhou would come back after dinner, but seeing that the courtyard outside was bolted, she didn't see half a figure.

I sent a maid to find someone.

After a while, the maid replied: "Uncle said that he was tired, so he slept over there tonight......"

The eldest lady lay down angrily to rest, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she got up again and called her mother, asking her to find someone to inquire about what the prince of Zhenguo had said to his uncle Ye Dongzhou in the study today.

The housekeeper's mother trotted away, and the middle feed in the house has always been in charge of the eldest lady, so it sounds convenient to do things, and the housekeeper's mother will come back after a while.

"Grandpa Guo said that the emperor rejected the uncle's father-in-law position......"

"Why?" The eldest lady was shocked and anxious.

"I heard...... It's because the uncle's wife is harsh on the orphan girl......"

The eldest lady was cold from head to toe in an instant, she never expected that in the end, this matter would be rejected because of her.
