I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 100 Military encounter
Seeing Mother Yan's questioning look, Ye Wanshu did not rush to answer.

After all, Ji Yunze is not Sun Xiucai. He is the top scholar chosen by the emperor. Now he is about to be sent to Yuezhou to become the educational governor, which is a highly anticipated event.

Fu Mingchi is not an impulsive and reckless person, so he would never do something that would make the court wary.

"Gu Tingchen?"

Ye Wanshu immediately thought of that bastard.

She hurriedly asked Tian Fu, "Uncle Tian, ​​have you heard about my second cousin, that dog from the Duke's Mansion? Has he already arrived in Yuezhou?"

"I seem to have heard that the Pacification Commissioner's Office has been very busy these past two days." Tian Fu replied hesitantly, "I believe the young master has indeed arrived, but he's coming a little too soon."

Ye Wanshu's eyes darkened. "That's it. No one else would dare to act so recklessly."

After he finished speaking, he ordered Tian Fu to prepare the carriage to go to the Pacification Commissioner's Office.

At this moment, Concubine Zhang and Chu Yin came out with the three little ones.

Looking at the brightly decorated Taowu, yet no groom showed up for the wedding, Concubine Zhang secretly rejoiced. She feigned composure as she approached Ye Wanshu and asked with false concern, "Girl, what's going on? Aren't you getting married today?"

"Auntie, why are you out so late?"

Ye Wanshu didn't want to cause others to worry about her own affairs, so she said in a deep voice, "Sister Yin, take the princess and the aunt back to the courtyard to rest first. I'll go into the city."

Chu Yin didn't know what happened, but Concubine Zhang knew it clearly.

As soon as the monster from the Rongguo Mansion arrived in Yuezhou, the top scholar disappeared. Only he could do such a thing, so it couldn't be his own son.

Seeing Tian Fu approaching in his carriage, Concubine Zhang quickly pulled Ye Wanshu aside and advised, "Girl, you're still planning to go to the Pacification Commissioner's Office to ask for his release. Your cousin, however reckless, will never act without a plan. I'm afraid your good husband has done something shameful and someone has caught him."

Although it was unpleasant to hear, Ye Wanshu had to agree.

It was heard that Gu Tingchen's troops surrounded Prince Qi's Mansion and hanged the two princesses because they had attempted to assassinate their own father, which was why the emperor could not investigate the matter.

But Ji Yunze is her future husband. He can do it for her time and time again without hesitation, so she should fulfill her promise, protect him, and share the joys and sorrows with him.

"Auntie, no matter what prejudice you have against Yunze, I believe in him. He has always been an upright person and would not do anything shameful," Ye Wanshu explained.

"So what?" Concubine Zhang sighed softly, "I told you long ago that this is the way the world is. This world has no room for honest people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of iron hooves suddenly came from all around the peach forest.

The sound came quickly from far away, making the surroundings uneasy. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw flames shooting up into the sky all around and rows of armored soldiers gathering towards this side.

Ye Wanshu took a closer look and saw that the leader was Liu Zhang, the commander of the Lin'an Patrol Battalion.

He leaped off his horse and walked towards Ye Wanshu with big strides.

"Commander Liu, what are you doing here with so many soldiers?" Ye Wanshu asked dissatisfiedly.

"My dear cousin, my young master is coming to invite you to come and have a reunion."

Liu Zhang clasped his fists respectfully towards him and emphasized, "The young master also brought letters from the Duke's wife, the third young lady, and the fourth young master."

This sounded quite unusual, and Concubine Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Since this commander came to invite his daughter, why did he bring so many soldiers with him? Could it be that he has other motives?"

Liu Zhang sneered, "My cousin is the apple of the eye of the Duke of Rong's family. I cannot let anything go wrong with her."

Fu Yunni glared at him and snorted coldly, "You're lying. You clearly have bad intentions. I will never allow you to take Sister Ye away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Wencai and the Chifeng Battalion arrived, and the quiet Taowu immediately became tense. "Chifeng Battalion? The guards of the Yongning Palace?" Liu Zhang drew his sword and shouted at Zhu Wencai, "What? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Zhu Wencai remained calm as usual and said righteously, "We are only here to protect Miss Ye's safety. Without the order of His Highness, we will not allow anyone to offend Taowu."

Ye Wanshu knew that the Chifeng Camp stayed in Taowu to protect Fu Yunni's safety. She could not let the little guy get into any trouble because of her, and she could not watch the two groups fighting in front of her door.

Looking at Liu Zhang, she asked solemnly, "Is Master Ji at the Pacification Commissioner's Office?"

"I dare not lie to my cousin. He is indeed in the prison of the Pacification Commissioner's Office." Liu Zhang answered truthfully, "He has committed an unforgivable crime and will be executed on a certain day."

"What? Behead?" Ye Wanshu's heart trembled. She had never expected Gu Tingchen to be so arrogant. She angrily shouted, "How dare you."

Liu Zhang chuckled, "Cousin, the young master was ordered by the emperor to inspect Yuezhou. The Queen Mother and His Majesty have granted the young master the power to execute first and report later. Let alone the number one scholar, even if Prince Yongning committed a crime, he would be executed without mercy."

The last sentence deliberately strengthened the tone.

"This general is so arrogant."

Having not been to the capital for many years, Concubine Zhang did not expect that Empress Dowager Gu had become so foolish that she actually allowed a foolish boy who was not afraid of a tiger to come to Yuezhou with the emperor's order to seek personal gain.

It seems that Gu Tingchen's sharp blade is aimed at the Yongning Palace.

"Girl, you don't have to be afraid. With the Chifeng Camp here, they can't take you away."

No matter what, the daughter-in-law she had chosen could not be taken away. Concubine Zhang urged: "You don't have to worry about that kid surnamed Ji. If they really dare to kill the number one scholar, the court will seek justice for him."

The more Ye Wanshu listened, the more she felt something was wrong. This lady wasn't trying to persuade her at all, it was obvious that she wanted to harm Ji Yunze.

Ji Yunze just questioned her a few times. How could this lady be so cruel that she actually hoped for his death?

She knew Gu Tingchen's character well, and if she didn't go to the Pacification Office, Ji Yunze would probably be dead.

Too lazy to pay any more attention to the old lady, Ye Wanshu only told Fu Yunni, "Little Princess, stay in Taowu obediently. Sister Ye will be back soon."

"Sister Ye, can you please not go?" Fu Yunni's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed her skirt and shook her head. "You finally escaped from Lin'an. Do you want to be taken back by that person again?"

"Of course I won't go back to Lin'an."

Ye Wanshu was worried about Ji Yunze's safety at the moment and didn't want to talk to the little kid any more. Finally, she told Chu Yin, "Ayin, take care of Taowu for me and take good care of everyone."

Chu Yin and Yan's mother were both a little worried and were about to persuade her, but Ye Wanshu shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it won't be a big deal."

After saying that, he got on the carriage without hesitation.

Tian Fu knew everything about the Duke's Mansion. No matter how bad the young master was, he would never harm the girl, so he drove the carriage away with peace of mind.

"Sister Ye."

Fu Yunni ran forward crying, and Zhu Wencai and the soldiers of Chifeng Camp were ready to draw their swords, but were stopped by Concubine Zhang's calm look.

Holding her daughter, she whispered to Zhu Wencai, "Go, send someone to inform His Highness immediately."

This girl is affectionate and loyal, but she is doing it for that dead nerd. Her eyes are filled with sourness, but she likes him more and more in her heart. She really hopes that she can put her thoughts on her son.

Fortunately, there is still room for recovery. She has to let the girl see the reality. Only the Yongning Palace can protect her in this world.

Seeing her daughter crying heartbreakingly, Concubine Zhang took the little girl into her arms and whispered comfortingly, "Ani, your sister Ye will come back. You must trust your eldest brother. If he can't even protect the woman he loves, how can he rule this huge empire in the future?"
