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

Chapter 76 Investigating Life Experience
The person who was most happy to learn that the girl wanted to get married was Mother Yan.

She had followed the old lady for so many years, how could she not understand her thoughts? She did not want her daughter to cling to some high-ranking and noble family. Although she seemed respectable, her life was not easy in reality.

The second girl’s life is a living example.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will take good care of this matter."

Mother Yan was so excited that she almost cried: "Our Ye family has a craft passed down from generation to generation. We can recruit a son-in-law to help manage the family business. Whether the girl returns to Tongyang or stays in Yuhua Town, her life will not be worse than in Lin'an City."

Ye Wanshu had already agreed with this truth.

Staying away from Kyoto means staying away from trouble.

There is nothing wrong with finding an obedient husband and living a simple and wealthy life.

At night, Mother Yan had a sumptuous welcoming dinner prepared. Ye Wanshu accompanied the two little ones for some of the meal, and then went to soak in the hot spring pool for half an hour. After she had relieved all her fatigue, she took Fu Yunni back to the room.

The little girl didn't want to sleep alone, saying she was afraid of the dark. Ye Wanshu knew she wanted to stick to her, so she didn't expose her.

Lying on the bed holding the soft little ball, Ye Wanshu felt warm in her heart, but she still thought about Chu Yin.

In her second life, she not only hopes to make up for her regrets, but also hopes that the people she cares about can live a safe, happy and smooth life.

She hoped that her aunt would live a long and healthy life and always take charge of Qingmian and Tingji; she also hoped that Qingqing would no longer have any contact with Gu Tingchen and become her plaything; and she hoped that she and Chu Yin could live a stable life together in Yuhua Town like they did in their childhood.

When she was lost in thought, the little kid suddenly poked his head out from her arms and asked softly, "Sister Ye, if my eldest brother did something to wrong you, would you forgive him?"

"What could he have done to wrong me?" Ye Wanshu looked puzzled.

But it's all just a casual play. As long as he doesn't do anything too excessive, I'm happy to tease him.

After all, such a beautiful face can bring joy to the body and mind just by looking at it a few more times.

"Don't worry, I know your brother has had a hard time, and I won't go against him."

Ye Wanshu patted her back gently and said softly, "Go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll ask Mother Yan to go to town and buy you some Biluochun cake."

When the little kid heard about Biluochun cake, his anxiety immediately disappeared. He answered "OK" obediently, lay in her arms and fell asleep quickly.

I have to say, the little fellow raised in the palace is different. There is a faint fragrance of cream in his body. Ye Wanshu felt comfortable all over when she smelled it, and soon she fell asleep.

……

The night fell into silence, and several riders on galloping horses stopped at a temporary camp built in the northern suburbs of Jikang County.

Hearing the sound, a group of generals came out in a hurry and bowed to the person who dismounted.

"I have met His Highness."

"No need to be polite."

Fu Mingchi waved his hand, strode into the barracks, and said in a calm tone, "Tell me, what are the urgent matters that need to be reported?"

"Your Highness, Chief Secretary Zhao has sent people to investigate the details of the various secret agents in the imperial court. It was not Your Majesty or the princes of Lin'an who did this, but the young master of the Rongguo Mansion who sent them."

The leading general on the left said, "According to reliable information, Young Master Gu has been appointed by the court as an Inspector General and will soon arrive in Yuezhou to inspect the various prefectures. Chief Zhao has specifically sent me to ask Your Highness for instructions. We must eliminate these spies before Young Master Gu enters Yuezhou."

"Since he is an inspector, why would it be surprising if he sent spies into Yuezhou?"

Fu Mingchi curled his lips coldly: "Let him investigate. It just so happens that I also want to see how he responds when he finds out something he shouldn't have found out."

"Your Highness, you are referring to Prince Yan's brother-in-law, Xue Jiu, the governor of the city." Yan Jin smiled. "I heard that Young Master Gu led his troops to surround Prince Qi's mansion and strangled two princesses there. Afterwards, no one filed a petition to impeach him. Not only did the Queen Mother commend Young Master Gu, but even the Prime Minister spoke up for him in front of His Majesty. If he touches Prince Yan again this time, it will be a real spectacle."

When Ji Yuan was mentioned, Fu Mingchi lost interest and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The general in the left platoon continued, "It seems news of a defeat has arrived from the north. The 300,000-strong Xie family army under the command of Wuping Marquis Xie Zhan has been severely defeated and is retreating to Lin'an. His Majesty has ordered the wife of Dingyuan Marquis to lead the Mu family army to the northern border to resist the enemy. It is said that the cousin of the Marquis has been sent out of Lin'an."

"The Xie family army of 300,000 men was so vulnerable that Your Majesty was forced to recruit a woman to the front lines to fight the enemy."

Fu Mingchi clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. "I'm afraid it's not that the Xie family army was defeated, but that Queen Mother Gu deliberately seized military power in order to establish a crown prince. These powerful people in the Gu family are misleading the country and the people. They are only concerned about their own selfish interests and have no regard for the lives of the people."

The generals closed their eyes in dismay. Yu Bai quickly asked, "Your Highness, what should we do? Although the Mu family army under the command of Marquis Dingyuan's wife is brave, they can hardly bear the heavy burden of defending the north. I'm afraid they will face death. It's obvious that Young Master Gu entered Yuezhou just to target you."

"The instability of the northern defense has always been the greatest hidden danger to the imperial court. My Yuezhou Army will inevitably be destined to march north sooner or later."

Fu Mingchi took a breath. "But before that, we must urgently control the maritime threat and strengthen the eastern coastal defenses. Now that we're in Jikang County, we must instruct the pacification envoy of Yuzhou to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the pirates and eliminate the maritime threat as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, rest assured. We will keep a close eye on that Xue this time and won't let him have any excuse to shirk responsibility."

After everyone finished their solemn vows, an official from the palace suddenly approached Fu Mingchi and whispered, "Your Highness, your cousin Yingying's coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days. Zhao Changshi and the princess and her husband are looking forward to your return to celebrate her birthday with her."

"When did my uncle and aunt become so hypocritical?"

Thinking of his cousin in Yuezhou City, Fu Mingchi rubbed his brows speechlessly: "Yan Jin, you can go back on my behalf with a generous gift. This can be regarded as a way to comfort my uncle for his hard work for the palace for so many years."

The official who had come here on orders was clearly a little unwilling: "Your Highness, Miss Yingying's temper..."

"Go away." Fu Mingchi's face showed some impatience.

Seeing this, the officials dared not say anything more and had to follow the general out of the tent.

Fu Mingchi breathed a sigh of relief and thought of the one from the Ye family. Now that he knew her true identity, he still felt a lingering fear when he thought back to what happened in Lin'an that night.

She said today that strictly speaking she was not the daughter of the Ji family, and it seemed that she was not living a decent life in the Ji family.

"Yubai, send someone to Lin'an to thoroughly investigate Miss Ye's background and why someone would harm her. You must thoroughly investigate every detail."

Mentioning Ye Wanshu, Fu Mingchi suddenly seemed to be energized, and he was very interested: "Let's find out more about her relationship with the scholar from the Qi family."

Yu Bai and Yan Jin smiled at each other, both feeling that His Highness was really going to make a move this time, as he had actually sent someone to find out the details of a girl.

"Subordinate, go right away."

Yu Bai responded and left. Yan Jin was about to follow the generals out of the barracks when Fu Mingchi suddenly called him.

"Yan Jin, how do you seduce someone so they don't feel boring?"

Yan Jin was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed: "Your Highness, isn't the word seducing too harsh?"

"Your thoughts are important?"

Fu Mingchi glanced at him coldly, feeling that it was unnecessary for him to ask him, and impatiently sent him out.

Thinking that he had to concentrate on solving the maritime disaster next, Fu Mingchi lay down on the couch.

But thinking about the scene in the temple, he tossed and turned, so he took out the handkerchief and looked at it silently for a moment.

"Wait for me for a few days. When I return from Haicheng, I will seduce you."
