Chapter 2196 The Palace of Yunluo
There was a carriage parked in front of the gate of King Qin's Mansion. It seemed to be waiting for Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen got off the carriage and just walked to the doorstep, she heard someone calling her.
She turned around and saw an unfamiliar woman looking at her nervously and nervously.
"You are?" Ye Rou raised her eyebrows. Had she seen this woman before?
"This commoner's name is Ran Hui. I … I'm from Gourd Alley in the north of the city." Ran Hui said in a low voice. Her clothes were simple and plain, and her appearance was delicate and pretty. Her voice carried a unique softness of the South.
Ye Zhen remembered who she was. "Third sister-in-law?"
She turned out to be Lu Zan's wife. The last time she returned to the human world, she happened to encounter Ran Hui's difficult labor. She even helped her deliver a daughter.
"Wangfei still remembers this common woman." Ran Hui's face lit up with joy. She probably didn't expect that Ye Zhen would remember her. Today, on a whim, she planned to send the visiting card in person, but she didn't expect to meet Ye Zhen at the door.
"Third sister-in-law, please sit inside." Ye Zhen said with a smile. Looking at Ran Hui's ruddy complexion, she should have been well nursed and taken care of after childbirth.
He wondered if Lu Shixun and his wife would still go to Lu Zan's house to cause trouble.
Ran Hui glanced at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. She was just an ordinary Jianghu girl and had never entered such a distinguished place before. It was inevitable that she was a little nervous.
Ye Zhen smiled and let the carriage go in through the corner gate and took Ran Hui to the palace.
"Is there something I can help you with?" Ye Zhen's tone was gentle, thinking that Ran Hui came to her for something.
"Princess, you saved my life last time. I've always wanted to thank you personally." Ran Hui said. She knew very well that she almost died in the last difficult labor. If she hadn't met Princess Qin, she and her daughter might have died.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? You are my third sister-in-law. Do you still want to repay my kindness?"
Ran Hui lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly. She had heard many things about Princess Qin from Lu Zan and had always had an inexplicable respect for her. She was able to spoil the harem alone and come back without any changes after disappearing for so many years. Not just anyone could do that.
She felt that Princess Qin was not a mortal, but a fairy.
"How is Third Brother recently?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Pretty good. I received a letter from him a few days ago. He'll be back soon." Ran Hui hurriedly said.
Ye Zhen was stunned, "Does Third Brother still go to Nanyue to do business?"
Ran Hui smiled and said, "Other than Nanyue, there's also Tianjin City. He said that when Tianjin City's business stabilizes next year, he'll let us go with him."
"That's good." Ye Zhen had handed over the businesses in Nanyue and Tianjin to Lu Zan. After so many years, Lu Zan had been working for her loyally. Every year, the accounts were written clearly and meticulously. When her life and death were uncertain, Lu Zan seemed to be sure that she would come back. "Tianjin is not much worse than the capital."
"That's right, I can also take care of my husband." Ran Hui's expression darkened.
Ye Zhen looked at her, "Are Lu Shixun and his wife still going to quarrel?"
Ran Hui didn't expect Ye Zhen to address the two elders by their names so rudely. Although she didn't like her parents-in-law and they refused to recognize her as their daughter-in-law, she still had to maintain respect. "Father-in-law didn't show up. Mother-in-law … came several times and said that I couldn't take care of my husband. She chose her own maid and sent her to Nanyue to take care of my husband."
What maid could Madam Liu choose? She must be in a hurry to send Lu Zan a concubine.
Ye Zhen snorted, "Third Brother accepted the maid sent by Madam Liu?"
"My husband gave away all those maids." Ran Hui said, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Third Brother will protect you. You don't have to be too polite. Refuse when you should." Having lived in the Lu family for a while, she knew too well what kind of people Lu Shixun and his wife were. They only bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Ran Hui smiled and nodded, "That's what my husband told me."
Ye Zhen smiled, "That's good. It seems that Third Brother is very good to you."
"Yes, it's really good." Ran Hui smiled, "If it weren't for my husband, I don't know where I would be now."
"What do you mean?" Ye Zhen looked at her doubtfully. She heard that Ran Hui was a woman of the pugilistic world. The last time she left the capital in a hurry, she didn't know her well enough.
Ran Hui said with a smile, "I was originally from the Yun Luo Palace. I was injured outside and met my husband. He saved me. Because I insisted on marrying him, I have severed my relationship with the Yun Luo Palace."
Yun Luo Palace? Ye Zhen looked up at Ran Hui and asked in a deep voice, "You used to be from the Yun Luo Palace?"
"Have you heard of the Yun Luo Palace before?" Ran Hui asked with a smile.
"My biological mother is also from the Yun Luo Palace." Ye Zhen was very surprised. She didn't expect Ran Hui to be from the Yun Luo Palace. She quietly released her spiritual power, wanting to know if Ran Hui had the smell of blood worms or monsters.
Ran Hui was even more surprised than Ye Zhen. "Really? I have never heard of it. "
No smell of blood worms or monsters …
Ye Zhen was a little relieved. "My biological mother's surname is Yu."
Only the palace master of the Yun Luo Palace was surnamed Yu! Ran Hui looked at Ye Zhen and hesitated. "Is your mother related to the palace master? The palace master of the Yun Luo Palace is also surnamed Yu. "
"Maybe." Ye Zhen didn't know what her biological mother's identity was in the Yun Luo Palace. She was thinking about how to inquire about Hall Master Wei.
"Have you heard of Ye Wei?" Ran Hui asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen's eyes darkened. "I have heard of her."
"You look … very similar to her. When I saw you just now, I had such a feeling." Ran Hui said.
She and Ye Wei were cousins. It was natural for them to look alike.
"Is Ye Wei also from your Yun Luo Palace?" Ye Zhen asked coldly. "What about Hall Master Wei?"
"Hall Master Wei?" Ran Hui was stunned. "There is no Hall Master surnamed Wei in the Yun Luo Palace. I heard that Ye Wei is also missing. She seems to be dead."
Ye Wei did not die at all. She was saved by Shui Yichen.
Ye Wei … Hall Master Wei …
"Do you know how Ye Wei disappeared?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Wangfei, is there … something wrong?" Ran Hui asked in surprise. She noticed that Ye Zhen seemed to be very interested in everything about the Yun Luo Palace.
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "Can you tell me everything about the Yun Luo Palace?"
Ran Hui sat up straight, involuntarily nervous. "Wangfei, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know."
"The last time Ming Yu was almost assassinated outside the city, I am afraid it has something to do with the Yun Luo Palace. I want to find out the truth." Ye Zhen said.
"Impossible! The Yun Luo Palace stands aloof from worldly affairs and never participates in any affairs of the imperial court! "Ran Hui exclaimed.
Ye Zhen said calmly, "It is because I know that the Yun Luo Palace stands aloof from worldly affairs that I want to know."
