Lu Jing stood outside the door with a pale face. The words of Lu Shixun and his wife clearly reached her ears. She knew that she was a concubine's daughter. No one in the family had ever taken pity on her except the old lady. Now that her reputation was ruined and the old lady was gone, it was impossible to expect Wang to find a satisfactory marriage for her. But she still tried her best to curry favor with Wang, hoping that she would not treat herself too badly in the future.
Unexpectedly … Wang was not moved at all and even wanted to marry her to a cripple.
Unable to hide the grief and anger in her heart, Lu Jing turned and strode out.
Why? In what way was she inferior to others? Why did she have to marry a cripple?
She didn't want to be used by Wang. She didn't know that Wang wanted to marry her to the Zhou family in Jinkou City and then get a large amount of betrothal money to start a business.
Lu Jing burst into tears. The road in front of her could no longer be seen clearly. She ran out of the Lu house in one breath.
"The figure who just ran out of the back door looks familiar, isn't it Lu Jing?" Ye Zhen looked ahead through the dim light. She seemed to see Lu Jing.
"Miss, it seems to be her." Hong Ying's eyesight was better.
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow. "Why go out at this time? You follow her out and don't let her cause any trouble. "
If Lu Jing wanted to go out and do something, she would wait until they all moved away.
"Yes, miss." Hong Ying nodded gently. She had been recuperating from her injury for several days and returned to serve Ye Zhen when she arrived in the capital.
Ye Zhen returned to the house and saw that everything was almost tidied up. She nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss, what do you think this is?" Hong Ling was tidying up the medical books for her. She saw a sheepskin book at the bottom and the cover was covered with dust. She blew at it and said, "It's so dirty. Can this be thrown away?"
"Let me have a look." Ye Zhen took it doubtfully. She didn't seem to have seen such a sheepskin book before. She looked at the contents inside and found that it was a bunch of strange words that she couldn't understand. However, she seemed to have seen these words written by her father. "Keep this book, I'll ask him when I see him." Ye Zhen said.
Hong Ling looked around and whispered, "Miss, when are you going to see Uncle Man?"
Ye Zhen said, "Where is Uncle Man staying now?"
"At the Thousand Gold Shop. However, it seems like someone investigated the Thousand Gold Shop earlier. It seems like it is not convenient for Young Lady to go to the Thousand Gold Shop again," Hong Ling said softly.
Ye Zhen smiled. Who would go and check the Daughter's Line? Wasn't it Mo Rongzhan? Only now could she openly go. "If I have time tomorrow, I'll go to the Thousand Gold Shop to see Uncle Man. Is Father … with Uncle Man?"
Hong Ling said, "Master doesn't seem to be in the capital yet."
"Then let's go and see Uncle Man first." Ye Zhen felt that there must be a reason why Man Qin insisted on seeing her before telling her the whereabouts of her father.
…
…
The next day, Lu Shiming moved out of the mansion with all the people of the third branch. However, as soon as they moved things into the carriage, they saw Tang Zhen coming and bringing a message.
"Big Brother Tang, what did you just say? Say it again." Ye Zhen got out of the carriage and stared straight at Tang Zhen with her black eyes.
"This morning, the Emperor issued a decree to confer Princess Qin the title of the former Empress. The Emperor is already building the Imperial Mausoleum for Empress Yuan." Tang Zhen didn't know that the Lu Yaoyao in front of him was Ye Zhen. He only thought that she was Ye Zhen's sister. He thought that Yao Yao should be very happy that her sister was conferred a posthumous title.
There was no smile on Ye Zhen's face. She didn't understand why Mo Rongzhan suddenly did this.
"Conferring a posthumous title to Ye Zhen … No one in the court objected?" Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes and asked. She thought that the officials of the court wanted the Ye family to never be reincarnated, so it was impossible for them to agree to confer a posthumous title to her.
"The Emperor not only conferred a posthumous title to Ye Zhen, but also announced to the world that Ye Zhen was his savior when he was young. He even cleared the charges of Ye Yiqing and his son." Tang Zhen said.
Ye Zhen sneered, "Is the Emperor against the whole court?"
"I thought the Emperor did it for you." Tang Zhen whispered.
"Father, mother, I'm going to the palace." Ye Zhen couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She never cared whether the Princess Qin would be conferred a posthumous title because she knew very well that it was not allowed. The Ye family was destroyed because the officials of the court had contributed a lot. If Lu Yaoyao was conferred a posthumous title, it would be giving the Ye family a chance. In the eyes of those ministers, Lu Yaoyao was a descendant of the Ye family.
How could they allow the descendants of the Ye family to enter the palace and regain power?
If they knew that her father and brother were still alive in the future, they would want them dead even more.
But …
She was still a little moved. At least Mo Rongzhan was willing to believe that she was Ye Zhen and admit that she was his savior. This was a comfort to her, who once brooded over it.
Mo Rongzhan did so many things as soon as he came back. What did he mean?
Ye Zhen's carriage had stopped outside the palace gate. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw her, they ordered the carriage to pass. She wanted to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to find Mo Rongzhan, but she heard that he had gone to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, so she had to go to the harem again.
On the way, she could pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. Thinking of going to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, Ye Zhen remembered Ye Yaoyao, who had been conferred as a concubine.
Just as she was thinking about her, Ye Zhen saw her as soon as she reached the Imperial Garden.
In addition to Ye Yaoyao, there was also Mo Rongzhan.
Ye Yaoyao knelt in front of Mo Rongzhan, crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She looked pitiful and pitiful. She didn't know what she was saying. Mo Rongzhan's expression was cold, his handsome face expressionless.
Ye Zhen walked a few steps closer before she heard Ye Yaoyao crying.
"Your Majesty, this concubine didn't mean to deceive you. This concubine didn't know that I was … being used." Ye Yaoyao was sad. Today, she knew why the Emperor had been cold to her. It turned out that he had long known that she was not the person he was looking for.
"I know." Mo Rongzhan said faintly. He knew that Ye Yaoyao didn't know. Otherwise, she would have ended up like Lu Wushuang.
Ye Yaoyao hugged Mo Rongzhan's calf. "Your Majesty, this concubine really loves you. I have never deceived you about anything. Please don't be angry with this concubine. Is it … is it that the last time this concubine slept with you made you unhappy? Please tell this concubine what I did wrong. This concubine will change."
Slept with him? Hearing this, Ye Zhen's mood of watching a good show suddenly became gloomy.
Mo Rongzhan's face became more and more gloomy. Eunuch Fu hurriedly came over and pulled Ye Yaoyao away. "Concubine Yao, don't hurt yourself."
Ye Yaoyao held Mo Rongzhan's foot and refused to let go. If she couldn't get the emperor's forgiveness again, then she would never get the emperor's heart in this life.
"Get lost!" Mo Rongzhan hated other women touching him casually. He lifted his foot and kicked Ye Yaoyao away. Then, he saw Ye Zhen standing not far away.
