When Ye Zhen first met Shui Yichen in the Hua Nation, she knew that this man was not just a businessman. What she didn't expect was that he would leave the Hua Nation to follow her to attack Dongqing and create the prosperity of Yuan Country. Today, when she saw his eyes, she understood a little, but she didn't want to understand too much. Sometimes, not knowing is better than knowing.
She knew that Shui Yichen would not betray her, but he was also an ambitious man. He just didn't realize it.
"If we didn't come back, would you have joined forces with Cheng Zheng?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, looking at Shui Yichen with bright eyes.
Shui Yichen wanted to blurt out no, but he hesitated because he knew that there might be such a possibility.
"It's meaningless to say these things now." Ye Zhen smiled. "Even if Cheng Zheng really wants to cooperate with Yuan Country, he will definitely become your enemy in the future."
"How did you kill him?" Shui Yichen also knew that some questions were meaningless to ask now. He just wanted to make sure that Ye Zhen trusted him.
"An arrow through the heart." Ye Zhen said faintly, "My archery is still good."
Being able to kill Cheng Zheng was more than just good.
Shui Yichen had seen Ye Zhen's archery and felt that although her archery was superb, it was not enough to kill Cheng Zheng. She was hiding something.
However, he was not in a hurry to tell her the truth. She would definitely tell him in the future.
"Since you are back, why don't you go back to the palace before dark?" Shui Yichen asked in a low voice. She was still the Heavenly Concubine of Yuan Country and naturally lived in the palace.
Ye Zhen glanced at Mo Rongzhan and said with a smile, "Forget about going back to the palace. It has been so many years. I don't think many people will remember the Heavenly Concubine. We will live in my father's former courtyard, and … I killed Cheng Zheng. Zhao Rao will certainly not let it go, lest she comes looking for trouble with you."
"Heavenly Concubine, we all remember you." Shen Luoyang said hurriedly.
Shui Yichen's voice was slightly cold. "Do you mean that all of us who have followed you through life and death as outsiders? Do you think that we are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"I didn't mean that." Ye Zhen said.
"Then what do you mean?" Shui Yichen frowned. He felt that there was a barrier between them. He hadn't felt this way before.
Mo Rongzhan, who had been silent all this while, opened his mouth and said, "Saving Zhao Ning is our family's matter. It has nothing to do with Jin Country or Yuan Country."
Therefore, there was no such thing as outsiders and their own people.
Shui Yichen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mo Rongzhan. Only then did he realize that Mo Rongzhan's eyes were a little different. It seemed like Ming Xi was telling the truth; he was blind.
"Yes, it's a family matter." Ye Zhen immediately agreed with Mo Rongzhan's statement. She didn't want to raise the matter of her killing Cheng Zheng to a national issue. If Zhao Rao wanted to find her for revenge, she would come to her alone.
"Heavenly Consort …" Shui Yichen's voice was cold, and she wanted to continue speaking.
Ming Xi interrupted him, "Grand General Shui, it's not important whether we return to the palace or not. My father and mother have traveled for so many days, why don't we rest first? Look, it's almost dark. If there's anything, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"
"I'll get someone to prepare the guest room." Shui Yichen immediately said. After all, it had already been four years. There were many questions that could not be answered in a short time.
Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "I'm not used to living in other people's guest room."
Ye Zhen said helplessly to Shui Yichen, "Then let's stay in the courtyard first. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."
"Yes." Shui Yichen's voice was cold. He felt that Mo Rongzhan was as annoying as ever.
No, he was even more annoying than before.
…
…
Ye Zhen and the others left the Shui residence and lived in Ye Yiqing's courtyard. Fortunately, there were a few servants living here, and everything was clean. After changing the bedding, they could stay.
Ming Xi told Mo Rongzhan everything that happened after they left. "Marquis Jingning and uncle have set off for the capital. If there are no problems, they should meet aunt on the way. There's news from the capital that Teng Ye wanted to take the opportunity to deal with uncle and was demoted to the Wasteland. He must hate us even more."
"He's just a villain, don't mind him." Mo Rongzhan didn't put Teng Ye in his heart at all. He didn't even have any impression of this person.
"You actually followed Shui Yichen for so many days. Didn't he find out?" Ye Zhen asked.
Ming Xi chuckled. "He found out, but he didn't know it was us."
Ye Zhen glanced at them. "The statue at the city gate was also made by you, right?"
"It's me, it's me!" San 'er immediately raised her little hand to claim credit. "The original statue was ugly. I made it beautiful. Madam, isn't it very similar?"
"Destroy it immediately tonight." Mo Rongzhan said expressionlessly.
San 'er blinked. "Why? Isn't it beautiful? "
"Father, what's wrong with it?" Ming Xi didn't understand.
"Of course not, I think it's beautiful." Ye Zhen said with a smile and gave San 'er a thumbs up. "You're worthy of being San' er."
Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Then carry the statue back. Don't let others see it."
"Who has nothing better to do than to put such a big statue at home!" Ye Zhen cried. "Just restore it to its original appearance. If it's destroyed, maybe the people will think that something happened."
Ming Xi was afraid that Mo Rongzhan would really want them to carry the statue back. He hurriedly said, "Mother, we will restore it to its original appearance tonight."
"Well." Ye Zhen nodded. "Didn't you find Huangfu Chen? Where is he? "
"Master said he had to go back to do something. He should be back tomorrow." Ming Xi said.
Ye Zhen held her chin with one hand. "I don't know if there is any news from the State of Qi. I will inquire about it tomorrow."
At night, the three children came to the city gate again. Looking at the lifelike statue, San 'er's face was full of pity and sorrow. The sculpture was so good that it looked exactly like Madam. She really didn't know where Mo Rongzhan's strange temper came from.
"Ming Xi, why didn't the City Lord let Madam's statue be placed here?" San 'er asked Ming Xi doubtfully.
"Probably …" Ming Xi thought hard. "He can't see it himself."
Fire Phoenix rolled her eyes. "What do you two little kids know? That's because the City Lord is jealous. He thinks that Yao Yao belongs to him alone, so he can't let others see how beautiful Yao Yao is."
"Ah? Why? " San 'er was even more confused. She couldn't wait for everyone to say that she was beautiful. Why was she afraid of being seen by others?
"You don't understand this. You'll know when you grow up." Fire Phoenix actually didn't know much and couldn't explain it clearly to them.
San 'er looked at Ming Xi seriously. "Will you hide me from others in the future?"
"No." Ming Xi shook his head decisively.
"That's good." San 'er patted her chest. "I'll try not to look so beautiful."
Ming Xi frowned. "I like good-looking people."
Fire Phoenix looked at the two naive children speechlessly.
