Chapter 319: Meet Them Again
Ji Changye pondered for a moment after listening to Song Qian's words, knowing that it was useless to talk more, and he was upset, so he changed the topic and said, "That's it, let's talk about this matter later. Mrs. Song, this yard has not been inhabited for a long time, although it is clean, but there are still many inconvenient places, why don't we go to the street to buy some things." After all, I don't know how long I'm going to stay here, so it's better to prepare some things early.
Song Qian felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll clean up now, go and call the ingots and leave." With that, she turned around and entered the house, and after simply taking the things she wanted to use, she took Yuan Bao and Ji Changye and walked towards the street together.
Maybe it was because she hadn't come back for a long time, Song Qian found that this place had changed a lot, so she looked around a little more curiously, and suddenly a strange figure appeared in her sight.
I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that this person seems to have seen somewhere, after thinking carefully for a while, she finally remembered that he was on the way from Dijing to Sulou Town, and she had already seen him at that time, but thinking that it should be a pedestrian on the same road, she didn't think much about it. But just after discovering that he was sneakily following them, I knew the strangeness of this.
So Song Qian whispered to Ji Changye on the side, "Your Majesty, it seems that we are being followed." As she spoke, she cautiously pointed to the man who was pretending to buy something not far away.
When Ji Changye heard this, he immediately became vigilant, he was afraid that Song Qian and Yuan Bao would encounter any danger, so he had no intention of taking a stroll, and said to them, "Let's go back first. I'll let the people below take care of these things later," he said as he looked in the direction of the man, but unfortunately the other party's eyes also looked at them, and the moment they looked at each other, the other party looked away in a panic, and turned around and disappeared in the endless sea of people.
At this time, Ji Changye confirmed that something was wrong with this person.
After sending Song Qian and them back safely, Ji Changye and Changfeng began to investigate this person, and found that sure enough, when they returned to their residence, this person appeared nearby.
"Lord Wang, do you want to arrest this person and ask clearly, I always feel that it is someone sent by the emperor, could it be that he wants to do something bad?" Changfeng was already eager to try, and he was waiting for Ji Changye's order to tie people up.
However, Ji Changye shook his head and refused, "This matter cannot be made public for the time being, and no one can arrest it. Otherwise, we wouldn't know who is behind this. You have been working hard these days, follow him closely, and see what he is going to do and what his purpose is. Report everything to me, and remember not to startle the snake." As soon as he left the imperial capital, someone followed him, and it seems that the person behind this is really impatient, so he will accompany this person to play.
And Song Qian didn't worry about it after knowing that Ji Changye would meddle in this matter, and she didn't ask anymore, thinking that she knew that Ji Changye could handle this matter, so she just did what she liked to do.
At the same time, the imperial capital Zhao Mansion.
"What? How would the prince be willing to resign and go to such a remote place for such a village woman?" Zhao Liuyin naturally didn't want to believe it when she heard these gossips from the previous dynasty, after all, in her impression and heart, Ji Changye was a very rational person, how could she be so impulsive and reckless? It seems that Song Qian poured him some ecstasy soup that made Ji Changye what he is now.
The maid who told Zhao Liuyin these rumors added fuel to the vinegar and said, "The prince must have listened to the villain's words, otherwise if a good regent doesn't do it, he would go to that kind of place willingly?" She began to help Zhao Liuyin fight the grievances, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all.
"What is the prince doing, where can you make irresponsible remarks? Who taught you such no rules? Do you believe that I will break your mouth?" Zhao Liuyin directed all this anger on the maid.
After sensing Zhao Liuyin's anger, the maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please forgive Miss, and the prince will spare his life." The slave didn't mean to say this, all to complain about the young lady. It's all to blame on that country woman, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have made the prince work so hard." She hurriedly shifted the direction of Zhao Liuyin's attack so that she could get out.
It is undeniable that this trick is indeed useful, Zhao Liuyin immediately stopped bothering about her problem, but whispered his dissatisfaction: "How can the prince be so sincere to her? Could it be true that some ecstasy soup was poured in?" I really underestimated Song Qian, I didn't expect her to be so capable.
Soon she couldn't sit still, knowing that she would be very uncomfortable if she didn't know what was going to happen next, so she told her trusted people to follow Ji Changye and them to see what was going on.
As for her, she naturally had to go and see it for herself, because she still needed to ask them about the situation so that she could think of a countermeasure.
The people below didn't dare to delay a little after getting the order, for fear that Zhao Liuyin would blame this kind of thing, so they did their best to do it, and they didn't dare to have a little difference.
And at this time, Ji Changye and Song Qian didn't know Zhao Liuyin's thoughts, let alone that she actually sent someone to follow them, after all, the man's affairs and identity had not yet been clarified.
"Lord Wang, Yuan Bao and I went to the street to buy some vegetables and came back." After Song Qian said hello, he took Yuan Bao and Changfeng to the market.
According to her thoughts, she still needs to buy some vegetables, and it happened that she saw a stall not far away that the vegetables bought were in good condition, so she walked over and squatted down to pick vegetables and asked, "Boss, is this new food new?"
Unexpectedly, Song Qian's voice did not fall, and when he looked up, he saw the face of the vegetable stall owner clearly, and he was dumbfounded in surprise for a while, not knowing what to say.
These two people are Hongyin and Xu Wenyan, because their temperament is different from before, so Song Qian didn't recognize them at first.
Especially Hongyin, there is no such scenery as when she was next to Zhao Liuyin, her face is full of tiredness, and she has added a few uncomfortable wrinkles, and she is wearing coarse linen clothes, which shows that after she was forced to marry Xu Wenyan, Hongyin's life was not good at all, and it can be seen that she regrets that she has come to this point from Zhao Liuyin's idea.
Hongyin and Xu Wenyan naturally recognized Song Qian's three people, and they were all very surprised in their eyes, but they didn't expect to meet one day. I don't know if it's because of guilt about what happened before, so Hongyin took the initiative to say, "I didn't expect to meet you here, the princess." Naturally, she also heard something about Song Qian's becoming a princess, but in order to confirm that what she said was true, she tentatively called Song Qian the princess.
Song Qian didn't notice Hongyin's thoughts, so he replied without much thought, "I didn't expect to meet the two of you here." Especially Xu Wenyan, a poor scholar who has been arrogant after reading for a few years, how could he pull his lower body to sell vegetables with Hongyin. So this is what surprised Song Qianzhen.
Sure enough, Xu Wenyan covered his eyes with a hat, as if no one would be able to recognize him in this way, and even start laughing at him.
And after discovering Song Qian's expression, he said, "What does this guest want?" Xu Wenyan asked this deliberately, wanting her to leave here quickly, otherwise she would continue to laugh at herself. As for why he became so depressed, or because after Song Qian and Ji Changye came back here, Hongyin didn't have much use value for Zhao Liuyin, especially after Zhao Liuyin also left here completely, Hongyin's status formed a difference, and they didn't care about them, and they had no other way to make a living, so they had to choose this.
It's a bit of a loss of face, but it's always useful.
Song Qian also wanted to leave quickly, so as not to be too embarrassed here, and he also had to worry about whether they would know anything. So when Hongyin packed the things and handed them over, Song Qian couldn't wait to take the things, and he was about to leave here without any hesitation. Xu Wenyan suddenly chased after him and stopped Song Qian.
Hongyin didn't expect Xu Wenyan to suddenly have energy, so she followed curiously, but was stopped by Xu Wenyan: "What do you want to do? There's no room for you to talk about here, hurry up and go shopping, if something happens, he'll know."
"Why can't I listen? Even if I wanted to hear it, what was the matter? It's just that Miss isn't here now, otherwise I would have reported this matter to Miss a long time ago, so that Miss could have made up her mind." She still believes that Zhao Liuyin will come back and take him away, especially leaving Xu Wenyan, because the time she married Xu Wenyan was too difficult.
It's not just that the two of them are uncomfortable because of the ducks on the shelves, but also because Xu Wenyan and his relatives in the countryside really make Hongyin not know how to deal with it, and the burden of serving those people falls on her in an instant, and she has to worry about not having enough food and clothing every day, which is very different from her previous life in Dijing, even when she was in Dijing, she was just a maid, but she was much stronger than here.
Xu Wenyan snorted disdainfully when he heard Hongyin's unrealistic thoughts and said, "You are still thinking about your young lady, if she really still cares about you, why hasn't she come to take you away at this time?" Since you are married to the Xu family, you should do what you should do honestly, and don't think about anything else, otherwise don't blame me for divorce you." He is arrogant now completely because he knows that Hongyin has lost his value to Zhao Liuyin, and he will no longer be reused and cared about, otherwise he would never dare to do this before.
I didn't expect my status to be so low now, and I really had no way to refute what Xu Wenyan said, so Hongyin had no choice but to swallow the grievances back into her stomach, no longer silent but continued to look at the vegetable stall.
As soon as Xu Wenyan turned around, he found that Song Qian was gone, and the resentment towards Hongyin in his heart was even greater, and he felt that if there were no things that happened at the beginning, now Song Qian must be his daughter-in-law, and he would not suffer these hardships.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so when Xu Wenyan returned to the vegetable stall, he began to lose a good face to Hongyin, and Hongyin dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
In order to prevent Xu Wenyan and the others from catching up, Song Qian hurriedly returned to his residence and told Ji Changye what had happened.
