?
Ye Zhen went to the palace gate and saw familiar faces. It was Man Qin and Hong Ying.
"Miss!" When Hong Ying saw her, she waved happily and walked quickly to Ye Zhen. "Miss, the master told us to take you home first."
"Don't you live in the Wang family?" Ye Zhen handed the medicine box to Hong Ying and asked her with a smile. "Is my brother home?"
Hong Ying went to the prime minister's residence in Dongqing a few days ago, so she knew that her daughter had a brother. "Miss, this slave didn't see the young master. I heard that he hasn't come back yet."
Ye Zhen froze for a moment. Didn't he say he would come back today?
Man Qin put down the pedal. "Miss, the young master will go to the city soon. Maybe you will meet him on your way home."
"Then let's hurry back!" Ye Zhen could not wait to say. She felt that she had not seen her brother for a lifetime.
Man Qin mounted the horse next to him and ordered the coachman to set off.
The carriage rumbled forward in the direction of the prime minister's residence.
Hong Ying was telling Ye Zhen who was in the Ye family. "This slave has lived here for a few days and has not met anyone except the servants. Miss, the master has not married a second wife."
Ye Zhen smiled. She actually hoped that her father could marry another second wife, but in the past two years, her father was only looking for her and probably did not put his mind on it. As for her brother … he would not be in a hurry to marry.
"… The mansion is big, bigger than when you were in the Lu family. Miss, your courtyard has been prepared for a long time. The water in the washroom will be there as soon as the water is turned on. There is also a pond. I heard that Lord Ye built it in the way you used to like. This slave heard it from the servants in the mansion." Hong Ying said.
Ye Zhen's heart moved. It turned out that even though her father came here and became the prime minister, he still did not forget to leave her a courtyard in his heart. It was her favorite courtyard when she was a child.
But she could not say that it was her former courtyard. No one knew that she was Ye Zhen.
"The streets here are very similar to those in the capital." Hong Ying said with a smile.
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Ye Zhen lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out. Probably because of the New Year's Day, there were many pedestrians outside. Some came out to buy things, some carried their luggage and wanted to hurry home. It was very lively.
Listening to all kinds of shouts outside and seeing the red couplets pasted on the shops, Ye Zhen sighed with emotion in her heart. She never dared to think that one day she would be able to celebrate the Spring Festival with her father and brother.
"Sugar roasted chestnuts!" A shout came into the car.
Ye Zhen's eyes lit up. "Stop!"
"Miss, what's wrong?" Hong Ying hurriedly asked.
"My brother loves to eat sugar-fried chestnuts. Go buy a bag." Ye Zhen said with a smile. When she was a child, she and her brother would scramble to eat sugar-fried chestnuts together. It was impossible for the Ye family to lack sugar-fried chestnuts for them to eat, but they just liked to fight over them.
Hong Ying was surprised. The young lady had never seen the young master before. How did she know that he liked to eat sugar-fried chestnuts?
"Miss, this servant will go buy it. Please wait a moment." The carriage stopped. Hong Ying got off and ran to the place where the sugar-fried chestnuts were sold.
Man Qin, who had been walking in front, noticed that their carriage had stopped. Thinking that something had happened, he hurriedly turned back and asked, "Miss, are you all right?"
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "It's all right. I just want to buy a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts."
Man Qin nodded gently and rode to the side to wait.
However, Hong Ying was in trouble.
There was only one bag of sugar-fried chestnuts left. When Hong Ying was about to pay the silver, the sugar-fried chestnuts in the peddler's hand were snatched by another hand.
"Little brother, our lady wants this sugar-fried chestnut. How much is it?" The person who grabbed the sugar-fried chestnut was a girl dressed as a maid. Behind her stood a gorgeous young woman who looked a bit cold and arrogant.
Hong Ying said snappily, "This is what I want to buy. If you want sugar-fried chestnuts, find someone else to buy them."
"Did you give the silver? Since you didn't give the silver, it's not yours. "The maid looked at Hong Ying contemptuously and directly stuffed the silver into the peddler's hand.
"Are you even a reasonable person? Are you blind? Don't you see that I'm giving you the silver? " How could Hong Ying let her take away the sugar-fried chestnuts? She directly grabbed the maid's hand and forcefully snatched the bag of sugar-fried chestnuts back.
The maid probably didn't expect that Hong Ying would dare to snatch something from her hand and was stunned for a moment.
It was the woman standing behind who reacted. "Stop her for me."
The little brother selling sugar-fried chestnuts was almost scared to tears at this time. He just came out to sell sugar-fried chestnuts. There was only one bag left. He wanted to sell it as soon as possible so that he could go home and celebrate the New Year with his wife and son. How did he get involved in this? Usually, he didn't think that his sugar-fried chestnuts were so popular.
Two old maids had stepped forward to stop Hong Ying.
Man Qin noticed the noise here and immediately came to check. "What's the matter?"
Hong Ying held the sugar-fried chestnuts in her hand and said, "These people are unreasonable. I already want to buy this chestnut, but they still want to take it away."
"Little maid, I advise you to give us the sugar-fried chestnuts. Do you know which family we belong to? Do you know the prime minister's residence? How dare you rob the people of the prime minister's residence? "The two old maids who were about to catch Hong Ying sneered.
Prime minister's residence? How many prime ministers' residences in the capital are surnamed Ye?
Hong Ying and Man Qin looked at each other.
Ye Zhen had already come out of the carriage. Looking at these arrogant servants who often talked about the prime minister's residence, she remembered the days when she was in the capital. At that time, the Ye family was not yet ruined. The servants of her family went out and no one dared to offend them. What was the difference between the two old maids in front of her and her former servants?
When the servants saw that Hong Ying did not speak, they thought that they were frightened and could not help but smile triumphantly.
"Then let's see what happens to those who rob things from the prime minister's residence." Ye Zhen stood on the shaft of the carriage and looked at the few people coldly, her voice cold and indifferent.
When the young woman saw Ye Zhen, the expression on her face became more gloomy. "They don't know what's good for them! Teach them a lesson! Take them all to the government … "
Man Qin snorted coldly and kicked away the two old maids who came to grab the chestnuts.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
"How dare you beat the people of the Ye family!" The young woman screamed.
Da Da …
The sound of horse hooves could be heard. From the other end of the street, a black horse galloped over. On the back of the horse was a man dressed in gray armor. The man was handsome, and his eyes were sharp and filled with killing intent. When he noticed the chaos, he slowed down. His handsome dark purple eyes instantly attracted the gazes of all the women on the street.
