"What's the matter? Ask me if there's anything wrong with the horse." Lu Lingzhi asked.
Tang Zhen shook his head gently. "It has nothing to do with this matter. It's about Yao Yao."
Speaking of Yao Yao, Lu Lingzhi frowned. "What's wrong with Yao Yao?"
"Did Yao Yao really live in the Border Town since she was a child? Does she know the people of the Ye Family? She seems … to have a different feeling for the Ye Family. "Because the Ye Family was a sensitive word, Tang Zhen's voice was very light.
Before seeing Yao Yao's appearance, the Ye family had no meaning for Lu Lingzhi, except that he felt a little ashamed of the woman he poisoned. However, Yao Yao looked too much like Ye Zhen. He had an inexplicable resistance to the Ye family and didn't want to have any involvement with them.
"Yao Yao has lived in the Border Town since she was a child. She doesn't know the Ye family at all." Lu Lingzhi asked coldly.
Tang Zhen briefly told Lu Lingzhi what Ye Zhen said to him today. "… She seems to be very familiar with Ye Zhen. You go and check if anyone is gossiping in front of Yao Yao." Lu Lingzhi nodded.
Yao Yao and Ye Zhen … Does she know that she looks like Ye Zhen? Lu Lingzhi smiled bitterly in his heart. Is it because he let Ye Zhen down that he had a sister who looked exactly like her, reminding him all the time what he had done to that woman?
"I know who it is." Lu Lingzhi whispered. "The gentleman beside Yao Yao is Ye Zhen's former teacher."
Tang Zhen stood up abruptly. "It turned out to be that woman. I'm going to clean her up!"
Lu Lingzhi stopped him. "Shan Shi is the daughter of the Shan family. Even if she is a widow now … As long as Old Shan is alive, you can't touch her."
"Then let her continue to instigate Yao Yao?" Tang Zhen asked.
"I'll talk to Yao Yao." Lu Lingzhi sighed. No wonder Yao Yao was always cold to him. Was it because she sympathized with the Ye family that she thought he was an executioner?
Tang Zhen glanced at him. "Why do I feel that Yao Yao doesn't seem to like you very much? If you talk to her, will she listen to you?"
Lu Lingzhi's face sank because he had to admit that what Tang Zhen said was the truth. Yao Yao wouldn't listen to him at all. Maybe because of him, she wouldn't believe it.
"Let me talk to her!" Tang Zhen whispered, "If she knew about our Tang family, she would understand that the Ye family deserved to die."
Lu Lingzhi glanced at him faintly. He knew what Tang Zhen meant to Yaoyao. He said, "You stay away from Yaoyao. She is my third uncle's daughter. Although she is my sister, there is still a layer of separation. My third uncle may not want Yaoyao to marry into a noble family."
Tang Zhen was not annoyed that his thoughts were seen through. "I have no parents. Yao Yao doesn't have to serve my family in the future. She just needs to live a good life with me. I am also reluctant to find other women to hurt her. How can Third Master Lu not agree?"
He was the most suitable young man to marry in this world.
Lu Lingzhi felt inexplicably irritated. "That would also require Yao Yao's consent. She wants to enter the Women's Academy. Even if she wants to talk about marriage, it will be two years later."
Tang Zhen smiled. "That's good. I can take advantage of these two years to get to know Yaoyao better."
He liked Yaoyao and hoped that he could be happy with her. If she didn't like him, he wouldn't force her.
"Yaoyao is a little girl who doesn't know the world. If you ruin her reputation, I will not let you go." Lu Lingzhi said coldly.
Tang Zhen nodded solemnly. "I naturally know the seriousness of the matter."
The next day, Tang Zhen wanted to see Ye Zhen, but when he went to Zhuangzi, he was turned away. When Lu Lingzhi learned about this, he felt a little happy.
Ye Zhen knew that Tang Zhen would come to her, but she didn't want to see him again. Early in the morning, she went out to ride with Mister Dan.
She knew that Mo Rongzhan had not returned to the palace and might go hunting today, so she didn't go to the hunting ground. There was a mountain forest near Zhuangzi. Ye Zhen used to hunt sparrows and roast them with her father and second brother in the forest. She suddenly wanted to go for a walk again.
Mister Dan was not good at horsemanship, so he just rode slowly. Ye Zhen had already entered the woods.
In late autumn, the woods seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. The wind was a little cold, and it hurt when it blew on her face. Ye Zhen ran deeper along the path in the woods. She was so familiar with this place that she wasn't afraid of getting lost at all.
After running for a while, Ye Zhen slowed down. When she looked back, she didn't see Mister Dan's figure. She tied the horse to a tree trunk beside the stream and took her bow and arrows, intending to look for any prey nearby.
Although this place was not as good as the hunting ground, there were still many small animals. She just wanted to practice her skills.
Ye Zhen walked carefully. There were many traps in this forest to catch prey. Now that there were so many leaves on the ground, the traps were even more difficult to find. She could only walk carefully, for fear of falling into them.
"Help, help …" Not long after Ye Zhen walked, she suddenly heard someone shouting for help.
She thought she had misheard, so she listened carefully again.
"Is there anyone? Help!" In the quiet woods, a faint voice came out.
Ye Zhen frowned and walked towards the source of the voice.
In the depths of the woods, she saw a … child in a trap set by a hunter?
How could there be a child in this deep mountain forest?
Ye Zhen looked at him vigilantly. "Why are you here?"
The little boy, who was hanging his head and shouting for help, heard someone talking. He hurriedly raised his head and looked at Ye Zhen with tears in his eyes. "Help, help me up!"
The trap was two meters deep and there was nothing around it that could be used for leverage. Although the little boy was not injured, it was impossible for him to get up. Ye Zhen looked at him and saw that he was wearing fine silk and his skin was white and delicate. He should be the young master of a big family.
No, this boy looks a little familiar.
Ye Zhen frowned at him and couldn't remember where she had seen him. "How did you fall into the trap?"
"Help me up! When I go back, this king will reward you!" The little boy finally waited for someone to come and shouted with his hands on his hips.
This king? Ye Zhen's eyes were cold. She finally remembered who this boy was.
Mo Rongzhan's younger brother, only ten years old, ranked eleventh. His name was Mo Rongyi. He was the only prince who still lived in the palace and the youngest prince. After Mo Rongzhan ascended the throne, he was conferred the title of king.
When Ye Zhen's soul was trapped in the palace, she had seen him several times. No wonder he looked familiar.
