Zhaoyang lowered her eyes slightly. She knew that Ye Yiqing was an upright person. After so many years, she never dared to hope that one day she could marry him. He responded to her feelings and wanted to marry her into the door as a wife. Flattered, she has always felt that she is not worthy of him.
"I don't dare to have other extravagant hopes, even if he doesn't want to marry me because of sympathy..." Zhaoyang shook his head with a wry smile, "You don't understand."
How could Ye Zhen not understand Zhao Yang's concerns, "Do you think your identity will be an obstacle?"
Zhaoyang said, "You all know that there is a problem with my identity, how could others not know."
"I think daddy has a solution." Ye Zhen said, she felt that any problem they thought of now, her daddy must have thought of it and had a solution.
"Although your current identity is Lu Yaoyao, if I marry your father, I will still be your stepmother, Yaoyao, do you not mind at all?" Zhaoyang looked up at Ye Zhen seriously, if she It's just that Lu Yaoyao, she definitely wouldn't ask this question, but now she has to face Ye Zhen, so it's completely different.
Ye Zhen bit her lip, "To be honest, I can't treat you as a stepmother. When I first heard about it, I couldn't accept it either."
Zhaoyang's expression darkened slightly, she didn't seem surprised by Ye Zhen's words.
"I know." Zhaoyang nodded gently.
"But I hope that there is someone beside Dad who can accompany him. If that person is you, I feel more at ease than others." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
"Are you serious?" Zhao Yang looked at Ye Zhen in surprise.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Is there such a thing as fake?"
Zhaoyang's eyes were a little red, and there was a sour and warm feeling in her heart. She was not afraid of others' opposition, but what she was most afraid of was Ye Zhen's disapproval.
"Ah Zhen..." Zhao Yang couldn't help calling out Ye Zhen's name that he used to call Ye Zhen.
"Even if it's my sister, she will agree." Ye Zhen blinked and smiled mischievously.
Zhaoyang laughed lightly.
Before they finished speaking, they heard Fangzhen's anxious voice from outside, "Princess, princess, it's not good, concubine step and princess are here."
"How do your stepmother and elder brother know you're back?" Ye Zhen asked Zhao Yang.
Zhaoyang's face was gloomy, "This is my mother's dowry. After I live here, there will always be people coming in and out. The county palace will definitely know the news."
"The visitor is not kind." Ye Zhen said, she knew best how mean the concubine Ji was, and this time she came to see Zhaoyang, probably nothing good would happen.
"I'll take a look first." Zhaoyang said in a low voice.
How can Ye Zhen let Zhaoyang face her stepmother.
Zhaoyang is the daughter of the old prince of Huai'an, and the current old princess of Huai'an is his stepmother. She is only thirty-five years old this year, and she is five or six years older than Zhaoyang's elder brother, King Chuyang. The old princess is quite filial.
Their mother and son were already waiting in the hall.
The old concubine was well maintained, and she looked to be about the same age as the county king. At a glance, she was thought to be the county princess.
They sat on the upper seat from left to right, with condensed expressions as if they were the masters of this place.
Zhaoyang walked in with a blank face, and glanced at them lightly, "Is there something wrong with you?"
"Zhaoyang, what do you mean? Seeing mother and elder brother, is this your attitude?" Duke Chuyang frowned and looked at his sister whom he had not seen for many years, feeling very displeased with her indifferent attitude.
"I've always been like this, have you forgotten?" Zhaoyang asked coldly.
Concubine Ji raised her eyes to look at Zhaoyang, and a dark light flashed in her eyes, "Zhaoyang, when did you come back? No one came home and said, if you hadn't lived in another courtyard at home, no one would have known about you." return."
"I think you made a mistake. This is the dowry property my mother gave me, and it has nothing to do with the county prince's mansion." Zhaoyang said flatly, not even looking straight at Princess Ji.
"Sister's dowry has nothing to do with the county palace? You haven't been in the capital for many years, and your elder brother has been taking care of it for you. Even if you don't tell me when you come back, you should tell your elder brother." The second princess frowned. Said.
Zhaoyang laughed mockingly, "Concubine Ji, it seems that you are not young, and the older you get, the more confused you become."
Concubine Ji's complexion changed. No woman is afraid of being told that she is getting old. "Zhaoyang, what do you want to say?"
"Why don't you guys tell me exactly what you want to come here?" Zhaoyang said with a cold face.
King Chuyang said, "Of course I came to bring you back. Can you, a widow who just lost her husband for less than a year, live here by herself? Come back with us immediately."
The mocking and desolate smile on the corner of Zhaoyang's mouth deepened, she really couldn't expect anything from them, how could they come here because they really cared about her.
"Prince Chuyang, if you are still not confused, you should remember what I said before I got married. At that time, the emperor agreed, do you still remember?" Zhaoyang asked lightly.
"What you said before was only that you were young. How could you live alone in this house now without being afraid of causing trouble." Princess Ji scolded.
Zhaoyang glanced at her, "Oh, what does the step-by-step princess think a widow should do? Shut the door or don't see outsiders from now on. Then why are you still here after being a widow for several years?"
Concubine Ji's face turned blue and white, she gritted her teeth with hatred for Zhaoyang in her heart, after not seeing her for many years, this stinky girl became even more eloquent.
"You are getting more and more presumptuous, even your mother dares to teach you a lesson." Duke Chuyang said angrily.
Zhaoyang said coldly, "She is not even worthy to carry my mother's shoes, and you are the only one who protects her like her ancestors."
The king of Chuyang County glared angrily, and raised his hand to hit Zhaoyang.
"Stop!" Ye Zhen yelled from outside, and walked in with a frown, "Princess Ji, Prince Chuyang, are you here to care about Zhaoyang today or to quarrel?"
"You..." Duke Chuyang had met Ye Zhen before, and now he saw Lu Yaoyao who looked so similar to Ye Zhen, he was startled, but he quickly remembered that Lu Yaoyao in front of him was from the future The queen's anger was immediately reduced by half.
Ye Zhen looked at them coldly, "Princess Zhaoyang has been away from the capital for many years, and you don't even care about how she is doing in Beiming Kingdom. One only cares about her dowry, and the other only cares about face. You really deserve to be a family. "
Princess Ji squinted at Ye Zhen, she didn't know who Ye Zhen was, "This is our family business, it has nothing to do with other people."
"Even if it's a family matter, Zhaoyang has nothing to do with you. You have ignored her for so many years. How dare you point and covet her dowry at this moment?" Ye Zhen asked in a deep voice.
