"Let that go first." Shuo Ling took a look and said to Qiao Shu.
Qiao Shu froze while holding the half-raised cake, feeling that it was not enough to accept it or to give it away.
Mo Li, who was standing aside, saw this and quickly walked forward to smooth things over, "Miss Qiao, give me the things."
"Well, okay." Hearing what Mo Li said, Qiao Shu smiled and put the pastry in her hand on the plate and gave it to Mo Li.
"Master Hou, I want to..."
Before Qiao Shu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Shuo Ling, "I still have some things to deal with. Qiao Shu, please step aside first."
"Since Shuo Ling has something to do, Qiao Shu won't disturb Shuo Ling." Qiao Shu forced a smile at this time.
After saying that, she walked out of Shuoling's yard. At this moment, Qiao Shu's heart felt like she had fallen into an abyss. How could Shuoling be so indifferent to her now!
As soon as Qiao Shu walked out of Shuoling's courtyard, she saw Yang Zijing walking towards her. Qiao Shu couldn't help but attribute Shuoling's indifference to her just now to Yang Zijing again.
When Yang Zijing walked up to her, she suppressed the hatred in her heart and smiled at Yang Zijing. She must always maintain her ladylike image in front of Shuoling.
The moment she saw Shuo Ling and Yang Zijin enter the room together, she held her hands tightly and her nails were deeply dug into her flesh, as if she couldn't feel the pain!
Ever since this Yang Zijin appeared, Shuo Ling, who had never let a woman get close, actually got so close to her.
Is she really not as good as Yang Zijin who grew up in a brothel? No, this is impossible.
Thinking of this, Qiao Shu became jealous, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
Yang Zijin, you asked for this. It seems that the dose of medicine is going to increase.
Obviously, Qiao Shu didn't know that the poison in Yang Zijin had been removed. These days, Yang Zijin did not refuse to let Qiao Shu continue to cook the medicine, and would always pretend to have a headache in front of Qiao Shu.
inside the house.
Shuo Ling entered the room and sat down, squinting at Yang Zijin, "Zijin, do you know why I am looking for you?"
"It must be nothing good!" Yang Zijing whispered.
Seeing that Yang Zi opened his mouth without making a sound, Shuo Ling asked, "What did you say?"
"Uh... I mean, I don't know what the Marquis wants from me!" Yang Zijing said quickly.
Then Shuo Ling said, "I don't know? Then I'll tell you, it's been so long, when are you going to resume your identity?"
"I haven't thought about it!" Yang Zijing replied without thinking.
Hearing Yang Zijin's answer, Shuo Ling was not surprised and continued, "It was no accident that I found out what happened to the eldest princess back then! Don't you want to go back to your house to investigate?"
"You mean someone did it on purpose? Didn't the emperor conduct a thorough investigation back then?" Hearing Shuoling say this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but wonder.
"The emperor also conducted an investigation, and finally found out that it was a group of bandits who committed the crime. The bandits also confessed, and the matter was not known as the bandits were all beheaded."
Seeing that Yang Zijing was deep in thought, he continued, "But who gave these bandits the courage to kill all of them? Perhaps these bandits are the scapegoats!"
After listening to Shuo Ling's words, Yang Zijin thought again. If it was true as Shuo Ling said, this matter was obviously planned early in the morning. She didn't know it before, but now that she knows it, she must find out and harm them. No one will be spared.
Seeing that Yang Zijin was full of thoughts and walked out of the room without saying a word, Shuo Ling knew that it was only a matter of time before she went back!
The next day, Yang Zijin took care of the children in the backyard of Peach Blossom Three Miles.
I saw Ah Xian running over in a hurry, with a worried look on his face, "Sir, that... the Duke is here again."
"Yeah, I got it, bring him to my resting place!" Yang Zijing looked as if nothing had happened.
Ah Xian saw Yang Zijing's different reaction than before. Something happened to his young master. He was stunned for a moment, but he still went to the front yard to ask Duke Mu to come to the backyard.
After a night of tossing and turning, Yang Zijin decided to restore his identity as soon as possible. This Duke Mu came at the right time.
Back inside, Yang Zijin filled the cup with water and waited quietly for Duke Mu to arrive.
At this time, Mu Guogong walked into the house, and Yang Zijing motioned for Ah Xian to exit.
"Mr. Mu, please take a seat." Yang Zijing changed his attitude, stood up and pulled the stool out from under the table.
Seeing Yang Zijin's behavior today, Mu Guogong was a little flattered.
Ever since he knew that Yang took in poor candidates and built schools. , I felt that Yang Zijin had misunderstood her before, thinking that she would only do shady business, and couldn't help but feel that he had spoken too harshly before.
I came here this time just to ease the relationship between them and not to let the conflict get deeper. I didn't expect Yang Zijin to return home now.
Seeing Duke Mu looking at her blankly, Yang Zijin spoke first, "Did Duke Mu come here this time to let me return home?"
"Zijin, my dad may have been a bit harsh before, but he really wants to reunite our family. Maybe he is too eager. How about we stop making trouble and act like enemies?" Mu Guogong asked. I took a few pictures and finally said these words.
Seeing what Duke Mu said, Yang Zijin was also very surprised. He had gone to war to get her to go back and burned their Spring Breeze Ten Miles, but now he would actually say such a thing. This was indeed rare for Duke Mu.
Perhaps both of them were too tough before, so Yang Zijin said, "I agree to restore my identity!"
"You... what did you say? Did you agree to return to the Duke's residence?" At this time, Mu Guogong stood up from the stool and excitedly stepped forward to grab Yang Zijing. He didn't believe his ears and confirmed again.
Yang Zijin pushed away Mu Guogong's hand on her shoulder, and then said, "However, I have a request."
"What's the request? Just say it, Zijin." Mu Guogong was not a little bit less excited because Yang Zijin pushed him away.
As long as Yang Zijin agreed to return home, he would agree to any request. Over the years, he would always dream of Yang Zijin when she was still an infant. Now that he had found her, he could finally make up for the guilt he felt towards her all these years. !
Yang Zijin said. "After I regain my identity, I will continue to take over the businesses I am currently in charge of!"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Guogong frowned.
"What? Duke Mu doesn't want to?" Seeing that Duke Mu didn't speak, Yang Zijing asked again.
She would definitely not agree to asking Yang Zijing to put down her business all at once. After all, she had been relying on it for these years, so Mu Guogong felt that he had to let her take her time.
So he said, "Everything depends on you."
"However, due to the place where you lived before, directly restoring your identity will not only lose the royal family's face, but also inevitably lead to some unpleasant words being spread. Let Die first report this matter to the Queen Mother and discuss countermeasures with the Queen Mother before deciding what to do with Zi Jin. How about returning to the palace?" Then Mu Guogong told him what he was worried about.
She had long known that if she wanted to restore her identity, everything about her would have to be erased, including the people around her!
From the moment Mu Guogong found her, she understood that she would not agree to restore her identity. Who knew that Mu Guogong would actually use a fire to burn the people who spent time with her day and night? This was also the reason for her conflict with Mu Guogong. The beginning, and the reason why the girls with the spring breeze started a legitimate business.
Thinking of this, Yang Zijin said, "Everything will be arranged by Duke Mu."
"You kid, why are you still calling me Duke Mu? It's time to change your name." Hearing Yang Zijing call Mu Guogong one after another, he felt very awkward and reminded him.
Yang Zijin couldn't help but feel that Duke Mu was taking things too far, so he said, "I will naturally change my words when I return to the Duke's mansion."
"Zijin is right, dad is too impatient." Mu Guogong had no choice but to give up. However, he was extremely happy that Yang Zijin agreed to return home!
After coming out of Taohua Sanli, Mu Guogong walked towards the palace.
Go straight to Cining Palace!
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, good news, good news!" When Mu Guogong saw the Queen Mother, he said quickly, and he was so happy that he forgot to salute.
Seeing Duke Mu's excitement, the Queen Mother couldn't help but wonder, "What is it that makes Duke Mu so happy?"
"Queen Mother, it is the princess who has agreed to return to the palace." Mu Guogong said quickly.
After hearing what Duke Mu said, the Queen Mother also sat up straight, "You mean, the Ai family's grandson is coming back."
"Yes, Queen Mother, your granddaughter has agreed to resume her status." Seeing the excitement on the Queen Mother's face, Mu Guogong nodded quickly and said.
"Okay, okay, okay, I will have someone from the Ai family to talk to me from now on."
Then the Queen Mother asked, "Has the princess said when she will return to the mansion? The Ai family will definitely hold a grand banquet by then."
"Queen Mother, due to the place where the princess used to live, if she directly resumes her status, there will definitely be some rumors that will damage the royal family's face. This time, the old minister came to the Queen Mother for this reason." Mu Guogong expressed his worries. brought it up.
The Queen Mother could not help but nod her head, "The Ai family was so happy that they forgot about this matter."
The Queen Mother was thinking that it was time to tell the Emperor about this. The Queen Mother called Eunuch Liu outside and told him, "Go and summon the Emperor over. Tell the Ai family that there is something wrong."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Hearing this, Eunuch Liu retreated.
Royal study room.
Master Chu Youtian had just finished reviewing the memorial and was about to stand up when Eunuch Li walked up to him and said, "Your Majesty, people around the Queen Mother said that the Queen Mother invited the Emperor to Cining Palace, saying that she wanted to see the Emperor for something."
"I understand." With that said, Master Chu Youtian rubbed his temples, then stood up and walked towards Cining Palace.
As soon as he entered the Cining Palace, he heard the sound of the Queen Mother laughing. Chu Shi Youtian couldn't help but wonder what could make her so happy. Thinking like this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"The Queen Mother has encountered something happy. Hey, Duke Mu is here too." Master Chu Youtian hurriedly stepped into the house.
Seeing the emperor come in, Mu Guogong quickly saluted, "Old minister, I have met the emperor."
"No gifts, no gifts, Duke Mu, please sit down quickly." With that, Chu Shi Youtian sat down next to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother temporarily put aside her excitement and mentioned to Master Chu Youtian, "Your Majesty, you know that the body of the little princess was not found where Suhan was killed."
"It has been many years since this happened. Queen Mother, why did you mention this today?" When Chu Shiyoutian heard the Queen Mother talk about the incident back then, he couldn't help but frown and feel depressed.
Suhan was his imperial sister. When he was a child, the imperial sister loved him the most. When he heard that the imperial sister was killed, he thoroughly investigated the matter and found out that it was the bandits. He hated it and killed all the bandits.
After this incident passed, he didn't dare to think about it. Every time he thought about it, he felt heartbroken.
