The next day, Hua Ningmou seemed to have stayed up all night, and her face looked full of exhaustion and bitterness.
"Has he left already?" Hua Ningmu asked Song Jingyun who was standing in front of her in a feeble voice.
"Yes, I left early in the morning and waited outside Juxianke all night, but I never saw the woman. I went to the school field outside the city early in the morning. The army was about to set off." Song Jingyun said cautiously, he knew this.
The incident had a serious impact on her cousin.
"He didn't even come to say goodbye to me, and just left." Hua Ning's eyes were a little distracted, and her voice was infinitely desolate: "He just left, without even saying goodbye." As she said that, tears could not help but flow.
Passed across the face and gently smacked it down on the trembling hands.
"Cousin, don't be sad. You know, it's important to take care of yourself." Song Jingyun felt a little distressed.
"You all should go out, I want to be alone for a while." Hua Ningyan said weakly.
"Do you want me to ask someone to cook some porridge for you?" Song Jingyun asked carefully.
"Get out! Get out of here!" Hua Ningmu shouted hysterically, sweeping everything on the table to the ground. Suddenly, the sound of shattering thunderbolts was heard.
Song Jingyun winked at the two maids, who were already trembling with fear, and motioned for them to go out. Then he also withdrew and closed the door.
Song Jingyun was extremely distressed and bored, so he planned to go outside for a walk. Unexpectedly, when he had just left the house and was about to turn halfway across the street, two burly men suddenly stopped in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Song Jingyun was a little surprised.
"Our master wants to see you." A strong man said.
"Who is your master?" Song Jingyun asked.
"You'll know it when you see it."
"Humph, what if I don't want to see him?" Song Jingyun felt that these two people were a bit rogue.
"That's not up to you." Two strong men said and came up to hold Song Jingyun.
"You...do you have anything to say?" Song Jingyun said with a trembling voice: "I, why don't I go with you?" He was very scared, but also very curious, not knowing who was behind the scenes.
The sunshine was very good, and when Yuchi Pingting got up, Juxianke had already opened to welcome guests.
As soon as Yuchi Pingting walked out of the room, she met Ah Fu who was working.
"By the way, boss, the young man who waited outside the door all night yesterday asked me to bring you a message." Ah Fu said.
"Waited all night?" Yuchi Pingting was a little surprised.
"Yes, that young man waited all night. When I opened the store door in the morning, he was still outside."
"What did he say?" Yuchi Pingting asked, with no emotion in her voice.
"He said he had to leave. If he hadn't set off today, he would have waited until you came out to see him." Ah Fu scratched his head and continued, "He also said that for some things, what you see may not be true.
"
"That's all?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"Well, that's all." Ah Fu thought for a while before saying.
"Okay, go and do your work." Yuchi Pingting ordered, and then she sat in a seat that was just exposed to the sun and began to think carefully about what Nangong Feiran's words meant.
"Some things, what you see may not be true?" Yuchi Pingting muttered softly, and couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday. Yes, from the very beginning, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and at that moment she thought about everything
Things were sorted out.
Because Nangong Feiran was about to go on an expedition, he held a banquet to invite her and Hua Ningmou to go with her. However, the person who came to report was indeed Hua Ningmou's personal maid. The maid also said that as long as she went alone, there was no need to bring Mo Mo with her, but Nangong Feiran seemed very worried.
She likes Mo Mo, so why would she have such a request? And when she just went out and met Hua Ningmou's mother, she had a strange smile on her face when she came to urge her, but she didn't think about it at the time. In addition, she was in the Lotus Viewing Pavilion.
When he saw Nangong Feiran and Hua Ningmu making love, he turned his head with such a confused look. There was something wrong, and sure enough, there was something wrong. It seemed that she was so angry at the time that she didn't think about the flaws carefully. Now after combing through them, she discovered them.
The problem involved, thinking of the proud and mocking look on Hua Ningmou's face, Yuchi Pingting immediately understood that this must be Hua Ningmou's trick.
If it wasn't Hua Ningmou's trick and it was Nangong Feiran's intention, why would he wait for her outside Juxianke again? Why would he want to give him an explanation? Yuchi Pingting suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and she was eager to meet Nangong Feiran.
, and explained many things clearly to him.
So he got up and ran out quickly, but he didn't pay attention and bumped into someone head-on.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Yi Xiaoyao rubbed his shoulders and said, "By the way, I just came back from outside the city and saw the troops going out. Wow, it's so spectacular."
"The troops on the expedition? Where are they?" Yuchi Pingting asked impatiently.
"Well, you just came out of seclusion, what's wrong?"
"Ah Fu, go to the stable and bring the horse." Yuchi Pingting ordered.
"Boss, you really want to chase the troops." Yi Xiaoyao was a little confused.
"Help me go up and have a look and touch him. When he wakes up, play with him for a while. I'll be back soon." After Yuchi Pingting said this, she saw Ah Fu coming with the horse, so she stepped forward and got on the horse.
Galloping away.
"Did Boss take the wrong medicine? I went to look for him again before he left." Yi Xiaoyao jokingly went upstairs.
Yuchi Pingting rode at high speed along the way, praying in her heart that she would see Nangong Feiran again.
Yuchi Pingting couldn't care less about the calm attitude and calm face that she had carefully cultivated over the years. At this moment, she had no time to think about it. She just wanted to see Nangong Feiran as soon as possible, even just once.
Finally seeing the shadow of the troops, Yuchi Pingting was surprised and happy, and hurriedly chased after her. Many soldiers were shocked when they saw Yuchi Pingting's fresh and refined look.
"Sister, why are you here?" Suddenly a familiar voice sounded from behind.
Yuchi Pingting turned her head and saw Yuchi Changxun's mature face.
"Changxun, where is the Crown Prince? Where is he?" Yuchi Pingting asked eagerly.
"The prince and a few pioneers went to explore the road. I'm afraid they have gone too far." Yuchi Changxun saw the disappointment on Yuchi Pingting's face and guessed a bit.
"Sister, if you have anything to say, I can take you to pass it on to the crown prince. He is the general on the left, and I happen to be his deputy." Yuchi Changxun said.
"Oh, it's nothing." Maybe it was because Yuchi Changxun was on the battlefield for the first time, and there was still a look of expectation on his face. Thinking of that day at the banquet of the eleventh prince in Xianxia Pavilion, Yuchi Changxun stood up and talked to her.
Together, she was still a little moved and said, "Changxun, take care of yourself."
"Sister, don't worry, I will win back glory for our Yuchi family." He turned the horse's head and followed the troops.
Yuchi Pingting looked at the retreating troops until even the last person could no longer be seen. Then she turned her horse's head and walked in the direction of the lost journey.
"Mom, have you seen daddy?" Seeing Yuchi Pingting walking in, Mo Mo chased after her and asked.
"No, but we can wait patiently until dad comes back." Yuchi Pingting suddenly felt an impulse in her heart. If Nangong Feiran came back, she would tell him what she was thinking and what she could not say.
"Mom, shall we go back to the palace?" Mo Mo asked.
"Go back, of course." Yuchi Pingting said firmly: "Not only do we have to go back, we also have to be the masters of Prince Hui's Mansion." Yuchi Pingting's eyes flashed with the glory of the past as she spoke. Hua Ning looked at her, thinking.
Is this the end? Haha, you are delusional, the story between us has just begun. Yuchi Pingting thought, I am such a person, I will not offend anyone unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will eradicate the roots. Hua Ningmu,
There is no enmity between you and me. It's just you who doesn't know what's good and what's good. So don't blame me, Yuchi Pingting, for being ruthless.
"Boss, what's going on? Mo Mo said you and the Crown Prince?" Yi Xiaoyao hesitated.
"It's nothing. By the way, why are you running around if you don't take care of your business?" Yuchi Pingting asked: "Just now you said you came from outside the customs, what did you do?"
"Boss, it has been closed in recent years. Of course I am going to collect the profits from our stores. Although you have left the affairs of these stores to the second boss, she has the final say in giving orders. I should do these errands."
Yi Xiaoyao said.
Yuchi Pingting burst out laughing: "When did you know how to love others?"
"I've always known it, didn't the boss feel it all along?" Yi Xiaoyao said unconvinced.
"Haha. Not bad, keep up the good work." Yuchi Pingting knew that this guy had always been soft-spoken rather than tough-minded, so it would be better to praise him more.
"Boss, take this money?" Yi Xiaoyao patted the small baggage on his body. No one could have imagined that there were millions of taels of silver notes in the small baggage.
"Keep doing this. Money needs to be constantly moving to make money. It's just a pile of waste paper at home." Yes, she is not short of food and clothing now, and she really doesn't need so much money.
"Boss, I want to invest this money in the bank. We have many stores, but I want to run the bank entirely by my own people." Indeed, there is no problem with the money in his hands doing the bank's business.
"Just watch it and don't ask me about these trivial matters." Yuchi Pingting said.
At the same time, Song Jingyun, who was taken away by two strong men, was taken to a private room on the second floor of the Supreme Gambling House, where he watched a graceful and luxurious man sitting in the room drinking tea.
"Kneel down quickly when you see the eleventh prince." a guard shouted.
"Eleventh...Eleventh prince?" Song Jingyun was a little confused, why would the prince come to him. But he couldn't help but fell to his knees with a plop.
"Are you Song Jingyun, the second housekeeper of Prince Hui's residence and Aunt Hua's cousin?" the eleventh prince asked, but he did not look at him, but was teasing the canary in the cage.
"Yes... that's right, little man." Song Jingyun's voice was trembling.
"You have seen the scene outside just now, what do you think of the business?" the eleventh prince asked.
"Of course, of course it's very good." Song Jingyun answered cautiously.
"You are in Prince Hui's Mansion, how much salary will be given to you per month?" the eleventh prince asked casually.
"This... more than ten taels..." Song Jingyun was even more confused. These questions from the eleventh prince confused him.
"I know you were born into a poor family, and you definitely don't want to go back to your old life." The eleventh prince said, "If you are willing, I can give you 20% of the profits from my gambling house." The eleventh prince didn't care.
said.
Although Song Jingyun didn't get much from the palace, it was already a hundred times better than his original life of collecting firewood for a living. Moreover, he was Aunt Hua's cousin, so he was much better off than ordinary servants. But now he heard that
When the Eleventh Prince unexpectedly gave him 20% of the profits from this gambling house, he was immediately excited. But then he thought again, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, so he asked carefully: "What does Your Highness want the villain to do?"
?”
"Haha, you are indeed a smart person. Smart people are easy to do things." The Eleventh Prince said leisurely: "What I want you to do is not difficult. As long as you agree, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. If
If you don't agree, then if you walk out of this door today, I will definitely have a way to kill you in the future, so you have to think clearly whether you want to agree." The eleventh prince said casually, but Song Jingyun was frightened when he heard that this was not forcing him to agree.
Well, it's a pity that he didn't know that the eleventh prince was such a scoundrel.
But when he thought about the endless glory and wealth, why should he refuse? Besides, there would be no benefit in offending the prince at all. So he suddenly felt relieved and said: "Your Highness, please give me your orders. Jingyun is willing to serve."
"Hahahaha..." The eleventh prince laughed proudly.
Yuchi Pingting was talking to Yi Xiaoyao when she suddenly heard Mo Mo's voice: "Brother, the miracle doctor, you are here."
Then he raised his eyes and saw Nangong Fuyi walking into Juxianke. Nangong Fuyi was dressed in a white robe that was painted in a light-colored landscape. The bun on her head was raised high, and her fair face was full of indifference to the world.
Indifferent.
"Boss, I'll leave first. Come and see us when you have time." Yi Xiaoyao said and left.
Mo Mo took Nangong Fuyi's hand and walked to Yuchi Pingting. Nangong Fuyi looked as shy as a child and timidly called out: "Sister."
After Nangong Fuyi sat down, Yuchi Pingting asked, "How did you know we were here?"
"Well, Feiran sent a servant to tell me when he left, asking me to find a way to take you back to the palace..." Nangong Fuyi seemed to not know what to do to let Yuchi Pingting take Mo Mo back.
"Haha, so that's it. Then how are you going to persuade us to go back?" Yuchi Pingting couldn't help teasing Nangong Fuyi when she saw him like this.
Mo Mo was also giggling beside him.
"Sister, although I don't know what happened between you and Feiran, but, but, I still hope that both of you can live a good life."
Hearing Nangong Fuyi's confused words, Yuchi Pingting burst into laughter.
"Sister, I can't speak, but don't laugh at me." Nangong Fuyi blushed even more.
Yuchi Pingting thought that Nangong Fuyi was so cute, just like a child.
"Hehe, brother miracle doctor, my mother originally planned to take me back to the palace." Mo Mo said with a smile.
"Really? That...that's great." Nangong Fuyi said, but the expression in his eyes seemed very complicated.
In the palace of Prince Hui, Hua Ningmou was eating something under the persuasion of her mother.
Suddenly the maid Dongmei ran in in a panic, "It's not good, auntie, the prince concubine and the young master are back." Dongmei said in a panic.
"What? She's actually back?" Hua's mother was a little unbelievable.
"Hmph, she came back just after the prince left. It's really shameless." Maid Yulan said at the side.
"Daughter, what are you going to do?" Mother Hua asked.
"Before the prince comes back, I will definitely find a way to drive her out of this palace." Hua Ningmou put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and said calmly: "There can only be one mistress in this palace, and that is definitely me, Hua Ningmou.
." Hua Ningmuan's eyes revealed layers of hatred.
"Master, her carriage is almost here," Dongmei said.
"Huh, no one who is kind comes, and no one who is kind comes. Girls, cheer up and go out with me to meet her."
"Brother Miracle Doctor, I don't have anyone to play with me even when my father is away. How about you come and play with me when you have free time?" Mo Mo said to Nangong Fuyi who was holding him.
"Okay, I'll accompany Mo Mo." Nangong Fuyi said happily.
Yuchi Pingting was smiling, and the group had just walked through the second door, and as soon as they turned the corner, they saw Hua Ningmou and her mother approaching with a few girls.
"Sister, why are you back?" Hua Ningmou's tone sounded very rude.
"Why, is it possible that my sister doesn't want me to come back?" Yuchi Pingting's face showed no embarrassment.
"Oh, I thought my sister would walk out of this threshold gracefully and never come back again." Hua Ning's pretty face did not have the timidity of the past, and seemed to be much calmer.
"Humph, even if it were me, I would never come even for the sake of dignity." Mother Hua interjected: "It's a pity, some people never have any dignity at all." That looks very arrogant.
Nangong Fuyi didn't seem to expect that it would be like this when she came back. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to smooth things over: "Oh, ladies, please stop quarreling. Let's live together and leave some room for each other."
"I'm back. I came back just to see what you want to do to me and what you can do to me." Yuchi Pingting looked into Hua Ning's eyes. The previously lazy eyes suddenly became sharp, and there was still no trace of sullenness on her kind face.
He was full of color, but his words conveyed a sense of majesty, and then he said slowly: "Some people want to cause trouble during the prince's expedition, just go ahead and do it. I, Yuchi Pingting, have never been afraid of trouble.
Come even if you are dead." He said and glanced at Hua Ningmu and the others.
Hua Ningmu and others were so shocked that they were speechless. Especially when they were glanced at by Yuchi Pingting, they felt an instant sense of oppression, which made people breathless.
After Yuchi Pingting said this, she snorted coldly and walked towards her courtyard.
"Those ugly monsters are so annoying, so annoying." Mo Mo said dissatisfied.
"Sister, they won't cause trouble for you, right?" Nangong Fuyi said with some worry. The prince was not here. Hua Ning looked at them and they were outnumbered. What would they do if they really got together to bully Yuchi Pingting.
Nangong Feiran asked him to take good care of their mother and son, and he had to think of a way.
"Haha, are you looking for trouble? Even if they come, I'm afraid they won't come." Yuchi Pingting smiled.
"What, what does this mean? Isn't it nice to be gentle?" Nangong Fuyi asked.
"Oh, Brother Miracle Doctor, you don't know this. If they don't come, how will my mother have the chance to deal with them?" Mo Mo said proudly.
When Xiaotao and Xiuxiu saw that Yuchi Pingting was back, they hurriedly greeted her and greeted her.
But at this time, Hua Ningmou was in the room, clutching her chest tightly, and after a while she slowly said: "It's really too much..."
"Daughter, don't be afraid. Mom and your cousin are both with you. Humph, I don't believe that that woman has great abilities." Hua Mu said.
At this time, Song Jingyun hurriedly walked in, ordered several maids to go out, then looked around outside the door, then closed the door, looked at the flowers mysteriously and said: "Cousin, you must not know that I saw you this morning
Who is it?"
"Who is it?" Hua Ningmu looked unconcerned.
"The eleventh prince." Song Jingyun said with a mysterious look on his face.
"The eleventh prince?" Hua Ningmou and Hua's mother asked in unison.
"Exactly, the Eleventh Prince came to me to have tea and discuss business." Song Jingyun said proudly.
"Cousin, tell me honestly, what's going on? How could the Eleventh Prince know you, and how could he possibly discuss business with you?" Hua Ning said seriously.
"This... ahem... the eleventh prince asked me to help him and give me 20% of the profits from a store under his name." Song Jingyun was a little embarrassed.
"How come the Eleventh Prince doesn't have people who are courteous to him, so he chooses to do things with you?" Hua Ningmou didn't know the Eleventh Prince, but she had heard about him.
"That's right, the Eleventh Prince said that there are some things, mostly business matters, that are inconvenient for his people to handle, so he wants to find some outside people to help him do things, but without letting others doubt him and also doing it on his own.
I am a trustworthy person in the official family, so he took a fancy to me." Song Jingyun said with high spirits.
"Cousin, don't you think this is too coincidental? There must be something fishy here. Go and reject the eleventh prince." Hua Ningmu said.
"Oh, cousin, he is a high-ranking prince. He asked me to do something. Now I go to reject him. Do you think he will be very proud? Do you think he will let me go? What's more, I have already received his money.
." When Song Jingyun said the last sentence, he turned his head away embarrassedly, not looking into Hua Ningmou's eyes.
"What? You took money from others so easily?" Xu Ningmou was a little angry.
"Cousin, your cousin and I will also have to marry and have children in the future. Do you hope that I will be miserable in the future? You became the prince's concubine in the palace, so you don't care about me at all?" Song Jingyun stared at the flowers.
I feel a little angry because I keep blaming him.
"But the palace has given you a salary. How can you eat everything you eat?"
"Eating out, cousin? Do you know how much salary there is in the palace? Will that salary be enough for me to live a good life in the future? You are now wearing gold and silver, and you have no worries about food and drink, but what about me? What's more, I'm not
Go do something bad, help the eleventh prince, maybe you will become famous in the future, do you want to stay so mediocre?" Song Jingyun was a little excited.
"Jingyun, how can I talk to my aunt?" Hua Mu drank.
"Yes, you shouldn't rush into your aunt." Song Jingyun calmed down a lot under Hua's mother's scolding, and quickly apologized to Hua Ningmou.
Hua Ningmou heard what her cousin said was reasonable, and since she got married to Nangong Feiran, she felt a little sorry for her childhood sweetheart cousin, so she didn't say anything at the moment.
"I think this is not a bad thing." Mother Hua said: "Daughter, although you are the aunt in Prince Hui's palace, our family is not in a good situation and we don't know any dignitaries. Although you
Now we are in love with the prince, but no one can guarantee what will happen in the future." Mother Hua looked at her daughter's face, and then said cautiously: "In case something happens in the future, it is a good thing to be able to cling to a prince."
Hua Ningmou thought about it and found that there was really no harm in it, so she nodded silently.
"So, Jingyun, you must behave well in front of the prince. When you become rich, we, mother and daughter, will have a backer so that no bitch can get on top of us.
"
"What my aunt taught me is to be remembered by Jingyun." Song Jingyun paused and said, "When I just came in, I heard a few servants say that Yuchi Pingting is back again?"
"Isn't that right? Not only did she come back, but she also seemed to be very aggressive. She came towards us. Your cousin was so angry. I really don't know how shameless that bitch is." Mother Hua began to feel indignant again.
"Cousin, are you okay?" Song Jingyun asked with concern.
"Huh, don't worry. I'm very good. I didn't kick that bitch out. I don't dare to let anything happen to me." Hua Ningmou's voice sounded like she wanted to piss Yuchi Pingting to death.
"Cousin, in my opinion, since she dares to come back, she must be ready to compete with us, but I feel that there is no need for us to confront her head-on." Song Jingyun said with ill intentions.
"What do you mean?" Hua Ningmu seemed to suddenly have a realization.
"What I mean is, don't be too harsh with her on the surface. After all, she is the first wife, but secretly, we can set some traps for her and let her find her own way. Cousin, although I haven't thought of one yet.
It's a surefire way, but please believe me, I will definitely help you." Song Jingyun said it truthfully.
After hearing this, Hua's mother quickly applauded. Hua Ning looked at Song Jingyun's loving eyes and smiled slightly at him.
