"The young master is back!"
Just after seeing Mo Rongyi off, Ye Zhen heard the maid say that Lu Xiangzhi had returned. Her face lit up and she turned to the front yard.
She met Lu Xiangzhi who was about to go to the study.
"Big brother!" Ye Zhen smiled and stopped Lu Xiangzhi. "You are back?"
Lu Xiangzhi looked at his sister with a smile. Thinking that his sister, whom he had watched grow up, would soon be married, he was still very emotional. "I just arrived. I was delayed outside the city gate for a while. I should have come back long ago."
"It's just right. I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. I'll make some delicious food for big brother tonight." Ye Zhen smiled.
The smile in Lu Xiangzhi's eyes deepened. "By the way, I met your brother at the city gate. He is Ye Chunnan."
Ye Zhen's eyes widened in surprise. "How do you know my brother?"
"No discord, no concord." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile, telling Ye Zhen how he met Ye Chunnan. "… Your brother's skills are really good. If the thief hadn't come in time, I would have been caught."
"Hahaha." Ye Zhen laughed. "My brother has been practicing on the battlefield for two years. You may have been on par with him before, but now you are certainly no match for him."
Lu Xiangzhi asked, "How do you know that your brother's skills were on par with mine before?"
Ye Zhen's heart froze. She said it was soon, but she forgot that she and Ye Chunnan had just met not long ago.
"When I was in Dongqing, my brother told me that he was not as good as he is now." Ye Zhen said hurriedly.
Lu Xiangzhi did not doubt what she said. "I'll go and pay my respects to my father first. I'll talk to you later."
"I'll go with you." Ye Zhen said.
Because of Lu Xiangzhi's return, Pei Shi and Lu Shiming were in a good mood. In the evening, the family had dinner and talked for a long time, listening to Lu Xiangzhi talk about his affairs. Occasionally, Lu Shiming would say some comments. Ye Zhen just listened and felt that this was actually a peaceful time.
I hope such a quiet time can last forever.
Compared with the warmth of the Lu family, the father and son of the Ye family seemed a little angry and stiff.
"Father, are you really going to marry Zhao Yang?" Ye Chunnan looked at his father sitting across the table. Although he already knew about his father and Zhao Yang when he was in Dongqing, he thought his father was not serious. Today, when he came back and saw the list of betrothal gifts prepared by the housekeeper, he knew that his father really wanted to marry Zhao Yang.
Ye Yiqing looked up at his son. "You think I shouldn't marry Zhao Yang?"
"Father, you know that's not what I meant, but Zhao Yang … it's fine if I don't mention Zhao Yang's identity, but isn't she Yaoyao's best friend? This is too strange, "Ye Chunnan whispered.
"She's two years older than Yao Yao." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Chunnan whispered, "Then she can still be your daughter."
"What did you say?" Ye Yiqing glared, scaring Ye Chunnan into coughing lightly.
"Father, will Yaoyao agree to this?" Ye Chunnan asked in a small voice.
Ye Yiqing said calmly, "Why doesn't your sister agree?"
"Then there's nothing more to say." Ye Chunnan said, "But, father, I won't be able to call Zhao Yang mother in the future. It's better to kill me."
Unlike Ye Zhen, Ye Chunnan was very close to his mother since he was a child. He still missed his biological mother.
Ye Yiqing said, "You can call her Madam."
"Father, I really didn't know that you were an old cow eating young grass …" Ye Chunnan muttered in a low voice.
"Who are you calling old?" Ye Yiqing asked coldly.
Ye Chunnan laughed. "Father, I've been on the road for a few days. I'm a little tired. I'm going back to rest."
"Get lost!" How dare this brat call me old in front of my face!
…
…
In the upper room of Prince Chu Yang's palace.
"Is what you said true?" The Second Princess held an account book in her hand. Hearing the words of the person standing in front of her, she suddenly raised her head and looked at her. "Ye Yiqing, Lord Ye spent the night in Gourd Alley?"
"Yes, this old servant saw it with my own eyes. He slept in the Princess's room. This old servant also heard that the Princess came back with Lord Ye from Dongqing." An old woman knelt in front of the Second Princess. "Princess, this old servant has told you everything you want to know. Can you let my daughter go?"
The Second Princess was still in shock. "Ye Yiqing and Zhao Yang … Haha, I really didn't know that Zhao Yang, a new widow, actually hooked up with a widower. She's really capable."
The old servant pressed her forehead against the ground. She already felt guilty for betraying Zhao Yang. If not for her son, how could she agree to the Second Princess's request?
"Besides Ye Yiqing, what else did you find out?" The Second Princess looked up and asked.
"The princess only trusts Fangzhen. It took me a lot of effort to find out. Princess, the princess has sent me back to my old home to retire. I must have angered her by asking around. I can't go back to Gourd Alley anymore," the old woman said in tears. "You're right. You're right.
The Second Princess's lips curled into a cold smile. What a useless thing. "Seeing that you brought the news, this Princess will not argue with you. Take her to see her son and let them leave."
The old woman kowtowed. "Thank you, Princess."
Seeing the old servant leave the upper room, the Second wangfei's lips curled into a smug smile. However, thinking that Zhao Yang was actually with Ye Yiqing, she felt uncomfortable. She had thought that Zhao Yang should be a widow for the rest of her life.
"Isn't that Zhao Yang's dowry? Why is she here? " Chu Yang walked in from outside the door. He didn't even salute and just sat beside the Second Princess on his own accord.
The Second Princess sent away all the servants in the room. Then, she glared at Chu Yang. "I have something on her son. I can only find out what happened to Zhao Yang through her son. Guess what news she brought me?"
"What?" Chu Yang's interest was piqued. He sat up straight and asked.
The Second Princess covered her mouth and laughed. "Your sister has hooked up with Lord Ye."
"Lord Ye? Which Lord Ye? "Chu Yang asked curiously.
"Ye Yiqing, the Prime Minister of Dongqing!" The Second Princess said word by word.
Chu Yang's eyes widened. He didn't come back to his senses. "Ye … Ye Yiqing? That's impossible! "
"Ye Yiqing already spent the night in your sister's room. What else is impossible?" The Second Princess sneered. "When you spent the night here, did you not do anything?"
"That's Zhao Yang. Didn't she just become a widow? Usually, she values her reputation the most. How could it be … "Chu Yang still couldn't believe it.
Hearing that Chu Yang was still defending Zhao Yang, the Second Princess's face immediately darkened. "She's only in her twenties. How could she hold herself back when she saw someone like Ye Yiqing? No matter what, this is our chance to get her dowry."
"You want to use this to threaten her?" Chu Yang asked with a frown.
The Second Princess laughed. "Is she that easy to threaten?"
