Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Ye Lingwu, who had just returned to the Jinghe Hall, didn't even have time to drink the water to quench her thirst, when she heard loud noises coming from the main room.

Ye Lingwu didn't change her expression, seeing Rongxiu hurried into the house, she just asked, "Sister Rongxiu, what's going on outside?"

Rongxiu whispered: "Girl, mistress and the others have accepted the betrothal gift from Pei's family."

Ye Lingwu's expression darkened, "Where is the old lady?"

Rongxiu said: "The mistress came, she said she had something important to discuss with the old lady, she dismissed the maids inside and outside the main house, even Magpie and the others were dismissed."

Ye Lingwu frowned.

It has been snowing for several days in the capital city, making people tremble with cold. The Lantern Festival, which was supposed to be lively and lively, was extinguished by the cold weather, and passed away without a sound.

After a few days of leisure, Shen Zhan was ordered to go to Hua County to relieve the snow disaster.As for the news that the Pei family and Ningbei Houfu were about to become in-laws, after another round of storms, it gradually calmed down.

From time to time, Rongxiu saw Ye Lingwu standing in front of the flower window, looking towards the path of the main house, and then sighed in disappointment.

"Girl, what are you looking at?"

Ye Lingwu pressed her hands on the window sill, covered with snow: "I looked at the two girls in the second room, it seems that they haven't come to say hello to the old lady for a long time."

"It's almost half a month away." Rongxiu forced a smile, "The snow will melt in another half moon, and the weather should get warmer."

Ye Lingwu slowly lowered her head.

"By the way, girl, there's a letter from Yuzhou." Rongxiu took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Lingwu, "I see that this letter is different from the previous ones. It doesn't seem to be from the girl's grandfather." .”

Ye Lingwu took the envelope.It was indeed not from Mr. Song. Just looking at the envelope paper and the sealant on the letter, you can tell that it was written by the Ye family in Yuzhou.

——Ye Huaicheng is seriously ill and won't last long.

Ye Lingwu was not sad, but felt that the news came at a very timely time.

The head mistress of Ningbeihou Mansion has long been unable to tolerate her. If Mrs. Shen hadn't stood in the way, Ye Lingwu would have been sent back to Yuzhou directly when she was in Yusu City.

Going back to Yuzhou at this moment, whether it is to escape or not to dare to make a choice, in short, Shen Zhan and Jiang Yuan will definitely not come to embarrass her again.

into the night.Ye Lingwu talked to Mrs. Shen about this matter, but Mrs. Shen didn't hold her back, she only asked her to pay attention to safety along the way, and asked Magpie to go to the warehouse to prepare a lot of clothes and jewelry, and then asked Tanchun to contact the boatman at the pier.

Ye Lingwu lowered her eyes, she should be obedient.

Back in the bedroom, the night is getting dark.

Ye Ling was lying on the head of the bed misty, exhausted from working hard all day, she lay lazily and didn't want to move.

Rongxiu applied a layer of light-scented hand balm on her palms, and said, "Girl, are you really going back to Yuzhou?"

"I've explained this to the old lady, so I'm going to go back." Ye Lingwu couldn't be happier.

Going back to Yuzhou was supposed to free her, but now she felt as if there was a heavy stone weighing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe at all.

Rongxiu looked gloomy, and gently put down the white porcelain herring's feet medicine bottle, poured a cup of tea for Ye Lingwu, handed it over and said, "But girl, I'm too anxious to go back to Yuzhou. If you leave tomorrow, how about you?" Have you figured out how to bid farewell to Lord Hou and... er, Grand Scholar Jiang?"

Ye Lingwu took the tea bowl and Qianqian took a sip, before she raised her head and said, "...Forget it."

Leaving the capital meant what she meant. Both Shen Zhan and Jiang Yuan were smart people, so they should understand.

But thinking so, Ye Lingwu was also afraid in her heart that she would leave without saying hello, whether Shen Zhan would be so angry that he would chase her to Yuzhou to teach her a lesson.

As soon as she had this thought, Ye Lingwu suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Such a proud person as Shen Zhan, after knowing that she left without saying goodbye, how could he still chase after her.

As for Jiang Yuan...then they will never have any contact with each other. When she returns to Yuzhou, Jiang Yuan will be able to let her go if there is no more threat in the capital.

Rongxiu was full of worries, and hesitated: "Girl, this is a big deal after all, even if you don't say goodbye to Jiang University scholar, then Lord Hou has to say goodbye, right?"

"What does it matter if you say it or not?" Ye Lingwu lowered her head, "You can relax if you don't say it. If you say it, you may cause trouble before you leave."

Rongxiu was silent.

Ye Lingwu got up, took out a brocade box from the cabinet, handed it to Rongxiu, and said, "Thank you, sister Rongxiu, for taking care of me this year. This is Lingwu's kindness, please accept it."

"This... this is impossible." Rongxiu raised her hand and refused.

But Ye Lingwu insisted on stuffing the brocade box into her hand, and said, "It's not a valuable item, but a few hairpins that the old lady gave me when I entered Beijing."

"Since it was a gift from the old lady, then the servant girl can't take it." Rongxiu pushed the brocade box towards Ye Lingwu.

"The old lady rewarded me a lot, I couldn't wear these at all." Ye Lingwu said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go back to Beijing in the future, these things are my congratulatory gifts for Sister Rongxiu at the engagement banquet in the future." .”

When Rongxiu heard this, her eyes suddenly blurred with tears, she said: "Girl...servant..."

"Sister Rongxiu has served me wholeheartedly for so long, if I say nothing, it would be too impersonal, so you must accept these." Ye Lingwu pushed the brocade box back into Rongxiu's arms.

Rongxiu broke down in sobs, finally lowered her voice, and said very sadly, "I hope that the future of the girl will be smooth and smooth. If there is a destiny, the servant will still want to serve the girl."

Tired this day, Rongxiu took care of Ye Lingwu to freshen up, put down the hanging curtain, lit the incense ingot to repel mosquitoes in a gilt copper incense burner, and after turning off the light, she quietly left , Ye Lingwu threw her loose hair on the pillow, but the more tired she was, the more unable to sleep, the more troubled she was, and the more excited she became.

It's a pity that Shen Pan'er will get married next month, and she will be absent.

Since Ye Lingwu left, Rongxiu went to clean the small courtyard as usual.But I found that the room was cold and empty for a while, the teacups on the sandalwood table in the tea room were empty, and there was no heat in the copper flower and bird charcoal stove.

desolate.

It took nearly ten days to reach Yuzhou by water.

The sky in Yuzhou is foggy, like it has just rained, and the ground is white again.Due to the developed river transportation, there are more people here.The streets are spacious and tidy, with all kinds of shops everywhere, and the business is extremely prosperous.

Ye Lingwu's face was pale after getting off the boat, she bit her lower lip in discomfort, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a young girl with an impatient face not far away, and behind her stood many maids and servants.

Ye Lingwu recognized at a glance that it was Liu Yuping's daughter, who seemed to be called... Ye Jinxiao?

I haven't seen her for a year, but she has changed a lot. She is not as round as before. She is wearing a lotus green dress embroidered with dark silver.
