Seeing that Yu Xilin had not recovered from the huge shock, Li Yuyan patted him on the shoulder and said:
"In order for Shen Jiayin to be with Mrs. Shen, she cannot marry you, and she can no longer be a general's daughter. Fake death is her only choice."
Li Yuyan's words made Yu Xilin fall into deep thought.
After a long time, Yu Xilin raised his head, with a firm look in his eyes:
"In that case, let's keep this secret for her!"
Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan nodded in agreement.
If before meeting Shen Jia and Mrs. Shen, Lin Xiao was still not very clear about her and Li Yuyan's future, then now, she is full of expectations for her and Li Yuyan's future, and firmly believes that they will have their own happiness.
Life.
What's more, Han Ruoshui is also pregnant. Although the child belongs to the Seventh Prince Li Yuxuan, as long as the few people who know about it keep silent, the child is nominally Lin Xiao's, which further confirms that she is the "man".
identity!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao felt an inexplicable feeling of joy in his heart.
But soon, this feeling of joy disappeared.
She thought of Zhao Qian and wondered if Wang Tuo and Li Yujun had rescued him from the Chen family's dungeon.
Lin Xiao shook his head in annoyance and cursed secretly:
“It’s true that one wave has not calmed down, and another wave has arisen!”
…
Capital City, Prime Minister's Office.
Zhao Qian was lying weakly on the bed, his empty eyes unfocused, as if he were a body that had lost its soul.
He was seriously injured. Although he took life-extending medicine in time, his body was still very weak and he needed to recover for a while.
This was the second day after he was rescued.
Wang Yao walked into the room carrying a bowl of bird's nest porridge, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She stepped forward, placed the porridge bowl on the table, and whispered:
"Cousin, please eat as much as possible!"
Zhao Qian didn't make any movements and still maintained his original posture, just like a sculpture.
Wang Yao felt sad in her heart.
She had never seen Zhao Qian like this. In her eyes, Zhao Qian had always been high-spirited and high-spirited, and had never been down and out. But this time, not only was he down and out, he even almost lost his life.
"Cousin, don't scare me, nothing will happen to you. I beg you."
Wang Yao lay beside the bed, tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't stop sobbing.
Zhao Qian's fingers moved imperceptibly, but he still didn't open his mouth to speak.
Wang Yao saw Zhao Qian's reaction, and a glimmer of hope burned in her heart. She cried:
"Cousin, several members of the Chen family have been imprisoned by the emperor. Dad will definitely avenge you!"
"Revenge? Heh. Revenge for what?"
Zhao Qian finally spoke, his tone weak and cold, with a touch of sarcasm, and even the muscles on his face trembled involuntarily.
Wang Yao was overjoyed and nodded quickly:
"That's right, take revenge. Daddy will treat them the same way they did to you!"
"Even if we kill them all, the dead cannot be resurrected!"
Thinking of the guard who died to save him, the resentment in Zhao Qian's eyes became more intense, but he was unable to do anything.
"You go out, I'm tired and want to take a rest."
Wang Yao was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly stood up and said:
"Cousin, you have a good rest. I will put the bird's nest porridge on the table for you. You can eat it when you are hungry later."
After saying that, Wang Yao exited Zhao Qian's room.
When Wang Yao walked away, Zhao Qian's eyes widened with cold determination. He lightly opened his thin lips and uttered two words coldly:
"revenge!"
On the other side, Bai Zhancheng's vacation has ended, and the newlyweds have to separate for the time being.
Originally, Bai Zhancheng wanted to take Zhang Yue and her daughter back to Jiuzhou Villa, but Zhang Yue couldn't bear to part with the Ai Lushi clothing store she founded, so she insisted on staying in the capital. Bai Zhancheng couldn't resist, so he had to follow her, and the two separated for the time being.
Before leaving, Zhang Yue personally sewed a set of clothes for Bai Zhancheng. The workmanship was exquisite and a blooming peony flower was embroidered on it, which looked quite beautiful.
Bai Zhancheng happily took the piece of clothing, kissed Zhang Yue on the forehead, and said:
"Yueer, I will come back to pick you up soon!"
"Well, don't worry. While you are here to pick us up, I will think of a compromise to prevent our husband and wife from being separated again!"
"You"
Bai Zhancheng pinched the tip of Zhang Yue's nose, then got on his horse, tightened the reins, and left.
Zhang Yue looked at the retreating figure with tears in her eyes...
However, not long after Bai Zhancheng left, Liu Moqin acted like a mother-in-law and sent someone to invite Zhang Yue to the Marquis's Mansion, saying that her father-in-law Bai Qingshan had something to discuss with her.
Zhang Yue has not formally paid a visit to her father-in-law since they got married. It is not that she is unfilial, but the relationship between Bai Zhancheng and Bai Qingshan is so bad that Zhang Yue is not willing to set foot in the Marquis's house.
Now that Bai Zhancheng has left the capital, it is time to take this opportunity to improve the relationship between father and son.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yue prepared a valuable item and drove to the Marquis's Mansion in a carriage.
In the carriage, Zhang Yue took out a brocade box, placed it on his knees, and opened it carefully.
A jade plaque that is all green and looks like a jade pendant lies quietly in it. A lifelike dragon is engraved on the jade plaque, which looks mighty and domineering.
This is the high-quality jasper that Zhang Yue specially bought from the jade shop. It was originally intended to be given to Bai Zhancheng, but unexpectedly it came in handy today.
Zhang Yue stretched out her slender onion-like fingers and stroked the jade plaque, feeling a little uneasy. She wondered if Bai Qingshan would like his gift?
In her memory, Bai Qingshan seemed to be a very old-fashioned person, and nothing good could come close to his eyes.
Zhang Yue was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard the driver's voice.
"Young Madam, we're here!"
Zhang Yue came back to her senses, opened the curtains, and looked outside.
This is a luxurious mansion, with vermilion walls, majestic entrance halls, towering attics, and majestic buildings. It looks magnificent and extravagant.
It is indeed the Marquis's Mansion, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Young madam, this old slave will guide you."
After the coachman finished speaking, he made a respectful gesture of invitation and walked towards the door first.
Zhang Yue also followed behind him and walked inside.
Walking into the main hall, a man in rich clothes, handsome face and slender figure was sitting in the guest seat drinking tea.
He was wrapped in a black python robe, his broad shoulders were exposed, his face was sharp and angular, his eyes were deep, and his thin lips were pursed tightly, giving him an air of calmness and authority.
Seeing Zhang Yue, the man slowly put down the cup in his hand, glanced at her lightly, and said:
"Here we come."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue's face changed slightly. She did not dare to look directly into the man's eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head and whispered:
"My daughter-in-law pays homage to her father-in-law."
