At this time, Chu Rou, who was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was punished and knelt in the ancestral hall, and Prime Minister Zhang scolded with some hatred: "If you run away, the prince doesn't care about it, you still have the face to tell me that you like the prince's guard thirteen?

Chu Rou was very firm: "The prince once said that thirteen did not die. ”

Prime Minister Zhang was silent, he was a daughter of Chu Rou, how could he be willing to marry a guard.

"Just kneel and come back to me when you figure it out. ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng left the ancestral hall, and just a few steps later, he met the lady who was supported by the maid and walked towards him, "Husband, when will I be able to meet my wife." ”

Prime Minister Zhang stepped forward to take the autumn leaves from the maid's hand, and An blamed: "Didn't you let you lie down, why did you come out again." ”

"We haven't been back for so many years, and before I have time to repay my father and mother's nurturing kindness, they are no longer alive. ”

Qiu Ye said that the tears flowed again, and Prime Minister Zhang wiped away her tears: "Okay, I understand Madame's mood." ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng instructed the maid to call Chu Rou over, and the little maid on the side also immediately went to prepare the carriage, Chu Rou was so happy that she knew that she would not be punished for kneeling for long.

The carriage drove all the way to Huanju Building, and the more she arrived at Huanju Building, the more excited and complicated Qiu Ye's mood became, and she was afraid that the person she met was not the person she was looking for.

Zhang Chengxiang saw her worry, put her hand in the palm of her hand and patted her lightly to reassure her, and Akiba threw a grateful look at Zhang Chengxiang.

The shopkeeper of Huanjulou saw the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion parked at the door, and immediately greeted him happily and respectfully: "I don't know that the Prime Minister is coming, and I will miss the welcome." ”

Prime Minister Zhang waved his hand: "I heard that you have two girls living in today, one of them is called Ji Si, can you summon me." ”

The shopkeeper was about to give the order, Chu Rou poked her head out of the carriage, and then jumped out of the carriage: "Shopkeeper, you first arrange for my father and mother to find a good seat, and I will leave it to me." ”

Chu Rou was able to help, but it was too late for the shopkeeper to be happy, so he immediately took Prime Minister Zhang and Autumn Leaves to the private room.

Ji Si and Leng Xi were talking about the fragments of the divine sword in the room, Jia Yu was sitting on the side and fell asleep, and there was a knock on the door: "Two young ladies, Miss Chu Rou asks to see you." ”

Xiao Er stood at the door respectfully with Chu Rou, and when he saw Leng Xi open the door, Xiao Er retreated, Leng Xi was very puzzled: "Miss Chu Rou has something?"

Chu Rou stretched her neck and looked inside, and saw that Ji Si and Jia Yu were there, so she said with confidence: "I'm here to find Ji Si and Jia Yu." ”

When she heard the voice, she came to the door, and Jiayu rubbed her hazy eyes and followed.

"I wonder what Miss Chu Rou is doing with us sisters?"

"That's right, you asked my mother before if her name was Akiba, I denied it at the time, and after telling my mother about it, my mother asked to see you, hoping that you can save your face a little bit, so that your mother can meet you. ”

Hearing Chu Rou say this, Yu Si probably guessed that Chu Rou's mother should know Akiba, "Where is your mother?"

"When Mother heard that you were here, she wanted to come and see you, and she is now waiting in the private room. ”

Since the person has already arrived in the private room, there is nothing to refuse, not to mention that she may still know Qiu Ye, Ji Si turned around and took Jiayu's hand, and said to Leng Xi by the way: "You go back to the room first, wait for me for a while, and we will discuss the rest in the evening." ”

"Don't you need me along?"

Yu Si shook her head and said no, it was in the inn, and she and Leng Xi saved Chu Rou's life, so it would be fine.

Chu Rou looked at Yu Si gratefully, turned around and took them to the private room.

Akiba, who had been waiting in the private room for a long time, was already anxious, and every time she heard footsteps outside the door, she would stand up and repeat it several times.

I finally heard the familiar footsteps, it was Chu Rou, Chu Rou finally came over, and the two people who followed her should be Ji Si and Jia Yu, Qiu Ye stood up again and stepped forward to open the door.

The moment she saw the faces of Ji Si and Jia Yu, Qiu Ye seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, as if she saw the lady who treated her like her own daughter, her legs were weak, tears came out of her eyes, and she knelt on the ground and called respectfully: "Miss." ”

This scene not only frightened Chu Rou, but also scared the two sisters, Zhang Cheng and Chu Rou, immediately stepped forward to help Qiu Ye: "What are you doing? ”

Prime Minister Zhang's tone was full of anger, not to mention that Qiu Ye was his wife, how could the wife of the dignified prime minister kneel easily, more distressed, her illness was not cured, how could she be willing to kneel easily.

Autumn leaves didn't care at all, and they were moved by the fact that Ling Yuanwai's daughter was still alive in the world.

Ji Si also immediately stepped forward to help the autumn leaves, I didn't see it really just now, but now I looked closer and found that the person in front of me and the autumn leaves in my dream were carved out of a mold, but the person in front of me was older.

She called out tentatively, "Sister Akiba?"

Autumn leaves wiped their tears: "It's me, I'm Autumn leaves, in a blink of an eye, you two sisters are so old, when I got married, you two were still in infancy." Only so big. ”

Akiba gestured with his hand as he spoke, tears were still flowing, happy but more sad: "Why did this happen, I haven't even had time to ......" said Akiba choked up.

Ji Si pulled Jia Yu to her: "This is the sister Akiba I told you before, the daughter who married Zhang Sheng that my mother told us before. ”

Hearing that Mrs. Ling called herself a daughter from her mouth, Qiu Ye was moved in her heart, and thought that she had not returned to Huchi Town since she moved to the imperial city, and she was so unfilial, and the grief in her heart did not ease up, but she fainted.

frightened a group of people, and immediately asked the shopkeeper to summon the doctor, Leng Xi also heard the sound, and woke up after a little spell Qiu Ye, who woke up, was not in a better mood, and grabbed the sleeve of Xi Si and cried.

"My daughter is not filial, my father and mother raised me so big, but after I left home, I didn't go back once, and I couldn't be filial to my father and mother once, my daughter was a mother in vain, and she was a woman in vain!"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng hugged Autumn Leaves in his arms: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for my official duties, I wouldn't have been able to accompany you back to my parents' house." ”

Jiayu's emotions were also infected by Autumn Leaves, and she cried, the scene of her parents before they died appeared in her mind, and those happy memories when her parents were still alive also appeared, and she was also sad in her heart, pulling Autumn Leaves with one hand and Jiayu with the other hand, she bent her knees and squatted in front of Autumn Leaves: "Don't blame my sister." ”

When my parents were alive, I had come to the Imperial City together, and at that time I came to the Imperial City to see the autumn leaves, but at that time, the sisters were also eight or nine years old, and they didn't want to disturb their parents to travel alone, so they didn't stay together, so more than ten years ago, Autumn Leaves still saw Ling Yuanwai and his wife, and later Ling Yuanwai and Mrs. Ling traveled many times, and Ji Si also heard them talk about autumn leaves.

"My father and mother also know that the prime minister is entangled in official business, and he has secretly visited the imperial city several times, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to you. ”

Qiu Ye threw herself into Prime Minister Zhang's arms and cried: "I'm not filial!"

Zhang Chengxiang touched her head, and didn't know what to say for a while, and silence at this time may be the best comfort.

"Mother, don't cry, no one knew that something like that would happen, fortunately, there are still Sisi and Jiayu, and grandparents don't want you to be so sad and sad, and damage your body. "Chu Rou has not experienced life and death since she was a child, so naturally she can't understand the pain of Autumn Leaves, but when she sees her mother sad, she is also sad.

Jia Yu choked up and comforted: "Sister Qiuye, don't be sad, my sister and I came to the imperial city this time specifically to join you." ”

She nodded, but she didn't say that she wanted to entrust Jiayu to Akiba, but said lightly: "After my father and mother left, our two sisters were helpless, and one day I suddenly dreamed of Sister Akiba, and remembered that my mother had told us something about Sister Akiba, so I left for the imperial city in the hope of being able to defect to Sister Akiba." ”

Several people were crying when they spoke, and even the three sisters couldn't help crying anymore, Zhang Chengxiang and Leng Xi took the initiative to retreat, and Chu Rou went out and closed the door with no worries.

The cries of the three people attracted the attention of passers-by, and the people who heard it were a little moved, and people couldn't help but want to comfort them, but because there were two men and a woman standing at the door, they didn't dare to inquire about what was going on.

After a long time, the crying in the room gradually subsided, and when the door opened, the eyes of the three men were red and swollen.

After recognizing each other, Huanjulou couldn't live, Qiu Ye strongly asked Yu Si and Jia Yu to live in the house, after learning that Leng Xi was the disciple of the Xuankong Dao Chief, Qiu Ye became more enthusiastic, if it wasn't for the Xuankong Dao Chief, Mrs. Ling would have died a long time ago, and Mrs. Ling was equivalent to her mother, so the Xuankong Dao Chang was also his benefactor, and his disciples naturally had to be entertained.

In order to be with the sisters, Leng Xi did not refuse Qiuye's kindness, and before leaving, he instructed Ruwen about the injuries on her body that needed attention, because Ruwen is now using the body of the third princess, in order not to be noticed, she didn't go out, just stood in front of the window and watched the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion leave.

Leng Xi, who was sitting on the horse, raised his eyes and looked at Ruwen who was standing in front of the window, smiled politely at her, and walked away without looking back.

Akiba in the carriage finally cleaned up her mood, took the hands of the two sisters and asked this and that, hearing everything about what happened to Huchi Town, her tears were always uncontrollable.

Later, the two sisters picked up the happy things and said that Akiba gradually had a smile on her face.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, who has a distinguished status, has been reduced to a carriage driver, and the corners of his mouth can't help but rise when he listens to the laughter coming from inside the carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the housekeeper immediately greeted him, and it was almost dark at this time, but fortunately, there was a small servant who came in advance to report that there would be guests in the house, and the housekeeper had prepared wine and food, and waited for the guests to be served.

Getting off the carriage, Qiu Ye kept grabbing the hands of the two sisters, and even Chu Rou, her biological daughter, was left out in the cold, but Chu Rou did not complain, and followed behind with Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, and the father and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
