Hong Ling looked at the woman who looked exactly like her. This was clearly the Fifth Young Lady. How could she not recognize her?
"Miss, don't you recognize this servant? This servant is Hong Ling. "Hong Ling grabbed Ye Zhen's clothes." It's great that you are still alive, Miss … "
Ye Zhen took a deep breath, looked back at the servant, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
She couldn't believe Hong Ling. The maid who forced her to drink the poisoned wine had served her since childhood. What about the maid in front of her?
Ye Zhen recalled the scene of that day. At that time, Hong Ling was not by her side. Even when the fire engulfed Prince Qin's Mansion, she did not see Hong Ling appear. Where did she go?
Hong Ling cried and said, "Hong Yan knocked this servant unconscious and locked him in the woodshed. When this servant woke up, the whole mansion was on fire. It was Xiao Qi who saved this servant … But, Miss, you … you turned out to be fine. This servant heard that you were in the fire …"
"Princess Qin is dead." Ye Zhen said faintly, but she was shocked in her heart. It was Xiao Qi who saved Hong Ling.
Xiao Qi was a white wolf she raised. He was sent to her when he was born. She raised him with her own hands. She only kept him as a pet, but she didn't expect him to save Hong Ling.
Hong Ling couldn't understand Ye Zhen's words. "Miss, you …"
"This is not the place to talk. Where do you live?" Ye Zhen asked softly. She didn't expect that her former maid was still alive. It was a pleasant surprise.
All of her former maids had been personally trained by her. Other than Hong Yan, who had betrayed her, the others had all been killed by Lu Lingzhi. Hong Ling … was the confidant that she valued the most back then, and the one who would never betray her.
Since Hong Ling could become Ye Zhen's confidant maid, she was naturally a smart and transparent person. She looked at Ye Zhen and knew that her daughter's life must be different from what she imagined. "Miss, this slave lives in Black Carp Lane."
Black Carp Alley! Ye Zhen's mouth evoked a slight smile. "I see. You go back first! I will find you when I have time. "
"Miss!" Hong Ling watched Ye Zhen turn and leave with a stunned face.
What the hell happened? The Fifth Young Lady seemed to be very different from before. Was she the Fifth Young Lady? If not, how could she look so similar?
After she was saved by Seven, she secretly went to King Qin's Manor to take a look. There were no survivors in the entire manor. Everyone said that Princess Qin died in the fire. She cried for a long time because she felt that it wasn't worth it.
Hong Ling watched Ye Zhen get on the carriage and leave, and the doubts in her heart grew deeper and deeper.
Ye Zhen did not look back at Hong Ling again. Even if the servant asked, she just said that the other party was asking for directions. Getting on the carriage, she covered her eyes with her white and slender fingers, resisting the sourness in her heart, and showed a faint smile.
She was ignored by Mo Rongzhan in the prince's residence for two years. In order to find something to do, she started a small business. It was not convenient for her to show her face, but her servants could. In those two years, she opened a trading shop in Jinkou City and trained several people to work for her outside.
Those people were all her dowry, chosen by her father personally for her. After so many things, she was not sure if they were still loyal to her.
Qingyu Lane was where she met those people. She didn't want others to know that she had a shop in Jinkou City, so she asked Hong Ling to buy a house in Qingyu Lane as a place for her to meet those people in Jinkou City.
When goods were sent to the capital from Jinkou City, they were first placed in that house.
Ye Zhen was very glad that she didn't tell Lu Lingzhi about it at that time. Otherwise, those people would not have escaped alive.
If she could get her former confidants back and still be as loyal to her as before, it would be of great help to whatever she wanted to do in the future.
She was never a conceited person. It was not easy for her to take revenge alone. She needed someone to help her.
Today, she couldn't talk to Hong Ling much. She was afraid that Quan Fu would tell Lu Lingzhi when he went back, and she was even more afraid that he would find out about Hong Ling.
Back at the Lu family, Ye Zhen was called by Lu Shiming as soon as she got off the carriage.
Ye Zhen guessed that it must have something to do with Xu Lao, so she came to Lu Shiming's study with a nervous face. In addition to Lu Shiming, even Lu Lingzhi was there.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Ye Zhen's expression was perturbed, but her tone was light.
Lu Shiming beckoned her over. "Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"
"I bought my favorite snacks and the best rouge in the capital for Niang and Dad. The capital is really fun. It's much livelier than the border town. I also went to the east side of the city. The house there is so beautiful." Ye Zhen said with a smile and sat directly next to Lu Shiming. Lu Shiming nodded.
"You bought it for your mother? What about me? "Lu Shiming pretended to be displeased.
Ye Zhen tilted her head and said, "I can't see what I can buy for you. I'll buy you a gift next time I see it."
Lu Lingzhi looked at her with a smile. He only felt that this sister was really naive and lovely, but that was an expression she only showed to others. In front of him, Yao Yao never seemed to act like a spoiled child. "Why do you want to go to the Dongcheng side?"
"I want to go to all the places I haven't been." Ye Zhen said.
"Then tell me, why don't you want to be Xu Lao's student?" Lu Shiming asked.
Sure enough, this is what he wants to ask! Ye Zhen curled her lips and said, "What can Xu Lao teach me? I can't be a top scorer. I'm not interested in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Dad, you know me. I can only go to the medical center to learn something useful. I don't think about anything else."
"What are you talking about? It's useless to learn those things. How many girls in the capital are eager to become Xu Lao's student? You are really …" Lu Shiming was almost angered to death by his daughter.
"If you become Xu Lao's student, your reputation in the capital will be better. It's not bad for you. Even if you don't go to the medical center, it's okay. Now our Lu family doesn't need you to go to a women's college to have a good future."
"What is a good future?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. "Marrying a husband with a good family background and character in the future? I don't need to worry about marriage at all. I'm not going to the medical center to get married. "
Lu Shiming's hand itched and he couldn't help but knock her. "What are you talking about! You're a girl, how can you say such things. "
"I'm just telling the truth. It's the eldest brother who started it first." Ye Zhen cried unhappily. "Anyway, I'm going to take the entrance exam tomorrow. Whether I can get in or not depends on my fate. What are you worried about? If I can't get in, we'll talk about it later."
Lu Shiming shook his head and said to Lu Lingzhi, "Your sister has such a temper. She can anger people to death."
"Sister is good like this." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips and said to Lu Shiming, "Dad, if you have nothing else, then I'll go to Mom first."
"Go! Go!" Lu Shiming said angrily.
