In the afternoon of the next day, the sunlight poured through the window lattice, and Ye Lingwu went out alone after serving Mrs. Shen after taking a lunch break.

Xuanwu Long Street.

The Ye family's carriage was waiting at the street corner early.

Qiu's mother stood under the carriage, and when she saw Ye Lingwu coming to the appointment, she said excitedly: "The big girl is here!" Quick, get in the carriage, it's hard to get you on this trip. ”

Ye Lingwu ignored her, and stepped directly on the stool to get into the carriage, Liu Yuping was also there, dressed as plain as yesterday, it was very pleasing to the eye, and she was carrying a basket of food in her arms, thinking that it was intended for her younger brother.

The carriage staggered off, Ye Lingwu glanced at Liu Yuping's belly, and said, "Why did Mrs. Liu follow me on this trip, in your heart, your uncompetitive brother is more important than the child in your belly?" ”

Liu Yuping said: "What did the eldest girl say, the children of me and the lord are naturally the meat of my heart, but I thought that it was really inappropriate for the eldest girl to go to prison alone, and I was the one who accompanied me." ”

Ye Lingwu frowned and said mockingly: "In this way, I have to thank Mrs. Liu for her compassion." ”

Liu Yuping choked and lowered her eyes pitifully: "I understand that the eldest girl never treats me or the Liu family, and I also understand that you are still angry with the lord because I sent you to Qingquan Temple, and I have felt guilty all these years......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Lingwu's sudden action of pushing open the window - the long street was still full of fireworks, pedestrians were weaving, and the streets and alleys were inevitably shouting.

Liu Yuping saw that she didn't care, and turned her head away.

After driving for nearly an hour, the Kaiyang Gate in the south of the capital is in front of you, and there are four towers on the city tower, and under the dark sky, the black clusters are like four fierce beasts with teeth and claws looking down at the city.

Zhao Prison allowed prison visits, but the procedures were complicated and cost some silver taels, but despite this, the duration of the prison visit should not exceed a tea time, Liu Yuping gave the prison a lot of money, and only after wearing out her mouth was she willing to be accommodating for a quarter of an hour.

The dark corridor, with a wall on one side and a cage on the other, I don't know how many people were locked up in the cage, and it was dim and I couldn't see clearly, the only thing that could be sure that there were people inside was the sound of the breathing of a beast.

The prison envoy took the three of them all the way to the innermost, and Qiu's mother intentionally or unintentionally protected Liu Yuping, just like an old chicken protecting her cubs.

Ye Lingwu followed behind them, absent-minded.

Actually, she shouldn't have come here, but she just couldn't be as free and easy as not hearing what was going on outside the window.

The jade pendant was engraved with the names of Song Yun and Shen Zheng, but her mother had never mentioned Old Marquis Shen in front of her, she was curious and wondered if there was really any story between these two people.

Ye Lingwu sighed, and suddenly remembered Sun Kunqian.

He knew Song Yun and Shen Zheng, and even asked himself about the relationship between the two of them and her.

Could it be that he knows something?

Just thinking wildly, there was a sudden "clang" in his ears, Ye Lingwu looked up, and saw the prison envoy slapping a few times on the iron cage, and said, "Liu Yuxian, your sister has come to visit the prison." ”

Ye Lingwu looked through the darkness, and saw a sloppy man dressed in a white prison robe, with a cloak scattered, suddenly appeared on the edge of the cage, and his face was full of vicissitudes: "Sister! Sister! You're finally here! If you don't come, I'll die! ”

"Calling what?!" The prison envoy slapped his palm on the cage again, so frightened that Liu Yuxian shrank his neck and almost collapsed on the ground.

Liu Yuping looked distressed, and directly stuffed the jade bracelet on her wrist into the prison envoy's hand, and said, "Brother prison envoy, let's be accommodating, we want to talk to him alone, just for a while, it won't be too long." ”

The prison envoy weighed the jade bracelet twice and said, "Okay, you talk quickly, don't talk too long to make it difficult for me." ”

After speaking, the prison envoy took the jade bracelet into his arms and left.

Liu Yuxian saw that as soon as the prison envoy left, tears and snot flowed out, and he cried aggrievedly: "Sister, why did you come, your brother and I are better off than dead in this prison, if you come one day late, you will burn incense directly for me next year." ”

A person who is dozens of years old cried like a seven or eight-year-old child, and Ye Lingwu covered the ridicule at the corner of his mouth with a silk silk.

Liu Yuping opened the basket in her arms, and while taking out the steaming pastries inside, she said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't cry, if you knew that there was today, you shouldn't have gone to the moon to do any business!" Now the Ye family has to be affected by you. ”

Liu Yuxian squatted down and picked up the pastry, swallowing like a starving ghost reincarnated, until his mouth couldn't hold it, only to find that there was a girl standing behind Liu Yuping.

He stared at it with wide eyes, dropped the pastry in his hand, and was a little crazy with joy: "Big niece, this is my eldest niece who enjoys happiness in the Hou Mansion of Ningbei!" ”

Ye Lingwu frowned in disgust and said, "Who is your eldest niece, my mother doesn't have a younger brother." ”

The time for visiting the prison was limited, Ye Lingwu directly took out the jade pendant with the words engraved on it from his arms, and said: "This is what you want Mrs. Liu to transfer to me, say, tell me to come here and have something to say." ”

Liu Yuxian didn't answer first, and glanced at Liu Yuping, Liu Yuping immediately understood, and said, "Mother Qiu and I will go outside and wait first, and you can talk." ”

When the two of them went out, Liu Yuxian said with a smile: "Big girl, how have you been in the Ningbei Hou Mansion in the past few months?" ”

"It's good." Ye Lingwu said concisely.

"Did the eldest girl and Shen Xiaohou talk to each other?" Liu Yuxian's eyes looked up to the world like a demon in hell, and he seemed to have pressed all his hopes on the girl opposite.

"How can I have the ability to talk to Shen Xiaohouye, he is a courtier, I am just a little girl in the old lady's courtyard, you can't help but think too much of me." Ye Lingwu didn't tell the truth in order to make less trouble.

When Liu Yuxian heard this, he said excitedly: "The eldest girl doesn't have to feel sorry for herself, you have a jade pendant in your hand, you can't speak now, you will definitely be able to speak in the future, maybe the entire Hou Mansion can still revolve around you!" ”

Ye Lingwu's eyes deepened, and he said: "It's just that there are two names engraved on the jade pendant, why does the Hou Mansion want to revolve around me because of a jade pendant?" ”

"This is no ordinary jade pendant!" Liu Yuxian pointed to the jade pendant in her hand, "It's your mother's love affair with Old Marquis Shen!" ”

Ye Lingwu secretly rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, his fingertips gently swiped along the lines of the word "Song Yun", and thought to himself: "It turned out to be a thing of love, but isn't this an old thing?" What's the point of turning it out now? ”

A hideous smile appeared on Liu Yuxian's unkempt face: "Of course it makes sense, big girl!" Do you know why Mrs. Shen suddenly wanted to take you to the capital half a year ago? ”

Ye Lingwu looked at him quietly, and there was no trace of brightness in his apricot eyes: "...... Isn't it missing my deceased mother? ”

"What do you miss your deceased mother, that's all bullshit!" Liu Yuxian pointed at himself, "It's because of me!" If I hadn't written a letter to Mrs. Shen, if it hadn't been for my letter, would you think Mrs. Shen would have remembered you? ”

"Letter?" Ye Lingwu was slightly puzzled.

Liu Yuxian smiled: "After your mother died, I not only found Yu Pei in her bedroom, but I also found a letter written by Old Marquis Shen to your mother, and Old Marquis Shen also comforted your mother who was seven months pregnant at the time, my eldest niece, you are the illegitimate daughter of Old Marquis Shen!" ”
