Zhuang Yushan naturally didn't believe it: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are obviously speaking sophistry. You are really daring!"

Han Yan looked at her with a smile: "I know Sister Yushan didn't believe it. The immortal saw that Han Yan was pitiful, so he gave another cake from the fairy world. Look, there are still crumbs of cake left by Han Yan on the ground."

Zhuang Yushan lowered his head to look, and saw some snow-white pastry crumbs scattered on the ground. He immediately became furious and said, "You actually had someone bring food in."

Han Yan said aggrievedly: "Sister Yushan has wronged Han Yan. The servants in the mansion do not dare to disobey their father's orders. The door of this ancestral hall is locked, so Han Yan naturally cannot come in. The maids just want to If you want to deliver food, how can you bring it in if you can't open this door?" The two Zhou sisters deliberately made things difficult for her. They would definitely not let the maid deliver food. Even Ji Lan and Shu Hong were under house arrest. Who would dare to do this? Why did Zhou do this under his nose? Seeing the relaxed look on Zhuang Yushan's face, she added to her anger without hesitation: "I have said it before, sister Yushan had better be mindful of the Buddha. She has gods three feet above her head. Every move she makes, those people above her , it’s all in sight.”

Zhuang Yushan took two steps back and looked at her as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "I don't believe a word of your words." Thinking about it, he became proud again: "I will enter the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion on the eighth day of next month. She is the crown prince's concubine, and you should wait to be a concubine for the rest of your life." She glanced at Han Yan and said in a contemptuous tone: "Why don't you beg me now, maybe I can let the crown prince reward you with a concubine. A status, after all, a low status, is much better than being without a man for the rest of your life.”

Han Yan was unmoved by her harsh words, and just smiled: "Sister Yushan came here specifically to let Han Yan out today. Han Yan is naturally happy, but she also wants to give her a word of advice." The corners of her mouth raised maliciously. , the arrogance that makes people feel depressed is exactly the same as Fu Yunxi: "Not every woman in this world is like a sister and can't live without a man."

"You..." Zhuang Yushan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Han Yan continued to smile: "What kind of man Sister Yushan wants to find or how many men she wants to find have nothing to do with Han Yan." She walked up to At the door of the ancestral hall, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned around and smiled at the angry Zhuang Yushan: "I forgot to tell my sister that last night I knelt down and prayed on the futon in the ancestral hall, and it was Sister Yushan who I prayed for. The result of the marriage...what do you think the gods and Buddhas said?"

When Zhuang Yushan heard this, he immediately became nervous: "What do you say?"

Han Yan admired her nervous look, and when he was done appreciating it, he slowly said: "The gods and Buddhas say... the secret of heaven must not be leaked."

"Zhuang Hanyan!" Zhuang Yushan couldn't stand being teased like this, and was so angry that he wanted to rush up and slap Hanyan in the mouth. However, after learning about Hanyan's methods, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he stamped his feet: "You can be proud of yourself. , even if you become an old girl that no one wants in the future, you can still be so proud!"

Han Yan turned his back to her, waved to her lazily, and said in a clear voice: "The gods and Buddhas said that they will naturally find a good marriage for Han Yan, so I won't bother my sister. Farewell, concubine." The last thing These two words contained a slight smile, but also revealed an incomparable sarcasm, as if the smile on her face was not cold enough to reach her eyes.

When they returned to Qingqiu Garden, Mother Chen and Ji Lanshuhong hurriedly greeted them. It turned out that Mrs. Zhou had put them all under house arrest because they had not fulfilled their responsibilities in taking care of the young lady, and were not allowed to step out of Qingqiu Garden. Therefore, there was no way for them to interact with Han Yan. communication.

After comforting Ji Lan and Shu Hong, Han Yan walked to the table and sat down. Ji Lan pushed Mother Chen away, walked to Han Yan and said, "I have some clues about what the young lady wants me to inquire about."

Han Yan was stunned and suddenly understood what was going on. He quickly pulled Ji Lan into the back room, sat down in front of the couch, and motioned for her to continue.

"The madam's former personal maid was kicked out of the house when the young lady was born. She seemed to have committed theft. After that, the madam's accompanying maids were all sent out of the house under various excuses. The slaves and other servants in the courtyard I talked to people and learned that almost all the servants in Qingqiuyuan were replaced the year the young lady was born. Mother Chen was also the one who had a new love."

Han Yan frowned and listened. This sounded a little strange. The year she was born, all the maids and servants in Qingqiuyuan were replaced. What happened was so secretive? She seemed to be afraid of leaking some news. She clenched her fists. What is going on

Ji Lan saw that the expression on Han Yan's face was still calm, and said: "Those maids who were sent out died, and those who left their homes and left their homes have disappeared all these years. But... I bribed an old nanny in the house to inquire. Madam, the first maid who was kicked out of the house for stealing, is now working as an embroiderer in an embroidery shop in the capital. If Miss is interested... "

Han Yan bit her lip: "You make arrangements, I want to see her."

Ji Lan looked at her hesitantly, and finally said: "Miss... I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

She was always quick to do things. She was rarely so hesitant about what to say in front of Han Yan. Han Yan lowered her voice and said, "Just tell me."

Ji Lan thought for a while and said with a sudden thought: "I heard someone said that when Madam entered the mansion, she did not have the master in mind... Therefore, there were rumors that Madam was pregnant when she entered the mansion, and the young lady... was not the master's biological child. !”

"Boom" was like a bolt from the blue. Although he had indeed had this idea before, when Ji Lan really said it, Han Yan still found it difficult to accept it. The "dad" he has called him for more than ten years is not his biological father, so he has an explanation for his indifference to him over the years. But this didn't surprise Han Yan. Who was that person...

But now that her mother has passed away, she has no one to answer her questions.

Ji Lan looked at her cautiously: "When Madam entered the house, many servants spread rumors like this, but all those gossips were severely punished and kicked out of the house by the master."

Han Yan was heartbroken. Zhuang Shiyang seemed to be ruthless in order to silence everyone. This made Han Yan feel even more strange. If it was true, then his life experience would really be a mystery. And it seems that that person... is not a small character.

In the Jinluan Hall, after listening to the reports of all the courtiers and discussing important matters, he asked: "If there is nothing else, I will come here today and go to court."

But I saw a handsome young man in official uniform of red embroidered white python robes stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I have something to ask for your permission, your Majesty."

The emperor paused, stared at him and said, "What's the matter with King Xuanqing?"

Fu Yunxi smiled slightly and glanced at Zhuang Shiyang who was standing aside: "Wei Chen wants to propose marriage to the fourth lady in Mr. Zhuang's house."

Wei Rufeng stiffened when he heard this and glared at Fu Yunxi hatefully. Before Zhuang Shiyang could speak, he taunted: "My lord, I don't know. Miss Zhuang Si once said that the person you marry can only be her." , I don’t accept concubines, I don’t take concubines, I don’t accept married couples. The prince is a member of the royal family, so it’s better to give up this idea as soon as possible.”
