"The young master is back!"
As soon as Murongyi was sent away, Ye Zhen heard the maid said that Lu Xiangzhi had returned, she was overjoyed, and turned around to walk to the front yard.
Just happened to meet Lu Xiangzhi who was going to the study.
"Brother!" Ye Zhen smiled and called to stop Lu Xiangzhi, "Are you back?"
Lu Xiangzhi looked at his younger sister with a smile, thinking that the younger sister he had grown up with would get married soon, he was still very emotional, "I just arrived, I was delayed outside the city gate for a while, I should have come back earlier."
"It's just right now, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, I'll cook some delicious food for my brother tonight." Ye Zhen laughed.
The smile in Lu Xiangzhi's eyes deepened, "By the way, I met your brother at the city gate, it was Ye Chunnan."
Ye Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you recognize my brother?"
"I don't know each other without fighting." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile, and told Ye Zhen how he met Ye Chunnan, "...your brother's skills are really good, if the thief didn't come in time, I would have been arrested."
"Hahaha." Ye Zhen laughed loudly, "My brother has been practicing on the battlefield for the past two years. You may have been on par before, but now you must not be able to beat him."
Lu Xiangzhi asked, "How do you know that your elder brother's skills are comparable to mine?"
Ye Zhen was taken aback for a moment, she said too quickly, forgetting that she and Ye Chunnan just met each other not long ago.
"When I was in Dongqing, my brother told me that his skills were not as good as they are now." Ye Zhen said hastily.
Lu Xiangzhi didn't doubt what she said, "I'll go to say hello to dad first, and I'll talk to you later."
"I'll go with you." Ye Zhen said.
Because of Lu Xiangzhi's return, both Mrs. Pei and Lu Shiming were in a good mood. The family had dinner and talked for a long time at night, listening to Lu Xiangzhi talking about him. Occasionally, Lu Shiming would make some comments, and Ye Zhen just listened to it , I think this is actually a good time.
I hope this peaceful time can last for a long time.
Compared to the warmness of the Lu family, the father and son of the Ye family seemed a little angry and stiff.
"Father, do you really want to marry Zhaoyang?" Ye Chunnan looked at his father sitting across the table. Although he already knew about his father and Zhaoyang when he was in Dongqing, he thought his father was not serious. The housekeeper was preparing the dowry list, and he knew that his father really wanted to marry Zhaoyang.
Ye Yiqing looked up at his son, "Do you think I shouldn't marry Zhaoyang?"
"Father, you know I don't mean that, but, Zhaoyang... don't talk about Zhaoyang's identity, that's okay, but isn't she Yaoyao's best friend? This is too strange." Ye Chunnan whispered.
"She is two years older than Yaoyao." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Chunnan whispered, "That's not the same as being your daughter."
"What did you say?" Ye Yiqing's eyes widened, causing Ye Chunnan to cough softly in fright.
"Father, can Yaoyao agree to this matter?" Ye Chunnan asked in a low voice.
Ye Yiqing said flatly, "Why doesn't your sister agree?"
"Then there's nothing to say." Ye Chunnan said, "But, father, I won't be able to call Zhaoyang mother in the future, so it's better to kill me."
Unlike Ye Zhen, Ye Chunnan has been very close to his mother since he was a child, and he still misses his biological mother in his heart.
Ye Yiqing said, "You can just call her Madam."
"Father, I really can't see that you are still an old cow eating young grass..." Ye Chunnan muttered in a low voice.
"Who do you say is old?" Ye Yiqing asked coldly.
Ye Chunnan laughed, "Father, I've been driving for a few days and I'm a little tired. I'm going back to rest."
"Get out!" Brat, dare to say that he is old in front of his face.
…
…
Chuyang County Prince's Mansion, Shangfang.
"What you said is true?" Concubine Ji held the account book in her hand, and when she heard what the person standing in front of her said, she suddenly raised her head to look at her, "Ye Yiqing, did Master Ye spend the night in Calabash Alley?"
"Yes, what I saw with my own eyes was that I slept in the princess's house. I also heard that the princess came back from Dongqing with Master Ye." An old woman knelt on the bedside of the princess In front of him, "Princess, this old slave has already told you everything you want to know, can you let my daughter go?"
Concubine Ji hadn't woken up from her shock yet, "Ye Yiqing and Zhaoyang... haha, I really can't see that Zhaoyang, a new widow, even hooked up with a widower, really capable."
The old slave pressed her forehead to the ground, she already felt guilty for betraying Zhaoyang, if it wasn't for her son, how could she agree to the request of Princess Ji.
"Aside from Ye Yiqing, what else did you find out?" Princess Ji raised her eyes and asked.
"The Princess only trusts Fang Zhen around her. The old slave finally found out. Princess, the Princess has already sent the old slave back to his hometown for retirement. It must be that the old slave's many inquiries recently angered her. The old slave really has nothing to do now. Fazi will go to Calabash Lane again." The old woman cried.
The corner of Princess Ji's mouth curled into a sneer, it was really useless, "Looking at the news you brought, this princess doesn't care about you anymore, take her to see her son, let them go."
The old woman kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess."
Seeing the old slave leave the upper room, the corner of Princess Stephane's mouth curled up into a smug smile, but when she thought of Zhaoyang being involved with Ye Yiqing, she felt uncomfortable at the bottom of her heart, thinking that Zhaoyang should be a widow for the rest of her life.
"Isn't that Zhaoyang's dowry wife? Why are you here?" Chu Yang walked in from the door without even saluting, and went to sit next to Princess Ji.
Concubine Ji sent all the servants in the house away, and then gave Chu Yang an angry look, "Her son has something in my hands, and I can only know about Zhaoyang's affairs by holding her son. Guess what happened to her?" What news did I bring?"
"What?" Chu Yang became interested and asked, sitting up straight.
Princess Ji covered her mouth and smiled, "Your sister hooked up Master Ye."
"Master Ye? Which Lord Ye?" Chu Yang asked suspiciously.
"Ye Yiqing, the prime minister of Dongqing Kingdom!" Princess Ji said word by word.
Chu Yang's eyes widened, and he didn't recover for a while, "Ye...Ye Yiqing? This is impossible!"
"Ye Yiqing has already spent the night in your sister's room, what is impossible?" Concubine Ji sneered, "Did you do nothing while you were staying with me?"
"That's Zhaoyang, isn't she just a widow? Usually she values reputation the most, how could it be..." Chu Yang still couldn't believe it.
Princess Ji heard that Chu Yang was still defending Zhaoyang, her complexion immediately darkened, "She is a new widow who is only in her double tenth year, how can she hold on seeing someone like Ye Yiqing, no matter what, this matter is our responsibility." The chance to get her dowry."
"You want to threaten her with this matter?" Chu Yang asked with a frown.
Princess Ji smiled, "Is she so easy to threaten?"
