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

Chapter 92 Like Mother and Daughter

Ye Wanshu held Fu Yunni and coaxed her all the way, and the little guy's face finally regained its joy. Although it looked a little perfunctory, it was better than crying.

Ye Wanshu put her back on the ground with a sense of relief, and watched her and Qin Chulin holding hands and continuing to move forward.

The master and his servants walked leisurely to another quieter market and were strolling around when suddenly a gentle voice called Ye Wanshu.

"Miss Ye."

Ye Wanshu looked back and saw that the person coming was none other than the top scholar Ji Yunze and his follower Dong Rong.

"Mr. Ji? Why are you here?" Ye Wanshu looked surprised.

It's inevitable to feel a sense of familiarity when seeing old friends in a place like this.

But isn't he from Tongyang? It's hundreds of miles away, so it's really strange that he came to Yuzhou.

"I dare not hide it from the girl."

Ji Yunze said truthfully, "My ancestral home is in Jikang County. When I was young, I followed my father to Tongyang to make a living. I never expected my family to fall into poverty. My father died in a foreign land and owed a lot of debts. It was thanks to the young lady's help that I was able to escape from this hardship. This time I came back to settle the affairs of my family."

"I see." Ye Wanshu finally understood his background completely. "Has Mr. Ji been settled?"

Ji Yunze nodded: "Both my parents have passed away. I came back to repair their graves. They are now properly buried."

Hearing that both her parents had passed away was a very tragic thing, but for some reason Ye Wanshu felt a sense of secret joy in her heart.

What a sin.

The top scorer in the imperial examination was highly regarded by the emperor, and his future was limitless. But his parents had passed away, so he felt like he had found a treasure.

But when she thought about him going back to Lin'an to be an official, Ye Wanshu felt depressed again.

"Is Master Ji planning to return to Lin'an?" she asked calmly.

Ji Yunze had indeed planned to go back, but when he saw Ye Wanshu, he suddenly swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and couldn't bear to say them out loud.

"There's no rush." ​​Ji Yunze asked, "When does Miss Ye plan to go back?"

Ye Wanshu shook her head: "Yuhua Town is my home now."

Ji Yunze was stunned, and he and Dong Rong looked at each other, and their mood suddenly became depressed.

As a result, the plan to go back to Lin'an to ask for marriage was completely unsettled.

"I didn't expect to meet Master Ji in Yuhua Town. If you don't mind, you can have a meal at my humble abode. I'll consider it my farewell party for you."

Thinking that they might never meet again in this life, and knowing that he was a shy person, Ye Wanshu took the initiative to invite him.

Just as she said this, the little guy next to her pulled her skirt dishonestly.

Ye Wanshu ignored it and held the chubby little hand tightly, not letting it move.

Fu Yunni struggled for a while, but found that she couldn't break free, so she could only pout at Ji Yunze.

Ji Yunze was slightly stunned by what he saw.

Why does this little girl seem to have some deep hatred towards me? Her eyes are so unfriendly when they meet for the first time.

I don’t know why there are more and more children around Ye Wanshu, but she took the initiative to invite me, so of course I can’t refuse.

"That's causing trouble for the girl." Ji Yunze clasped his fists solemnly.

"It's just a matter of convenience, and we've met an old friend in a foreign land. Mr. Ji, you don't have to be polite."

After Ye Wanshu finished speaking, she was about to take him back to Taowu when she suddenly saw a dirty old woman fall down and fall at her feet.

"Auntie, are you okay?"

Ye Wanshu hurriedly bent down to support him, and Tian Fu and Dong Rong quickly came over to be on guard.

When the woman raised her eyes, Fu Yunni was the first to be startled. Just as she was about to call out "Mother," Concubine Zhang secretly winked at her, and the little girl immediately covered her mouth. "Miss, please save me."

Concubine Zhang pointed at Butler Zhao who was following from a distance and said, "That man wants to kill me."

Ye Wanshu glanced over, but before she could see the figure clearly, Butler Zhao was so scared that he ran away.

That sneaky look really didn't seem like that of a good person. Then, looking at the disheveled old woman in front of her, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but recall the situation when she fled from the Ji family.

She never thought of herself as a compassionate person, but she was willing to hold an umbrella for others even after being caught in the rain.

Immediately helping the person up, Ye Wanshu softly comforted him, "Auntie, don't be afraid. The man has already run away."

Concubine Zhang was helped up by her and pretended to be relieved, but then collapsed weakly in Ye Wanshu's arms.

"I'm sorry, young lady, I soiled your clothes." Concubine Zhang apologized in a weak voice.

"It's okay. You have to wash it anyway." Ye Wanshu supported her firmly. She could faintly smell a faint fragrance. The fragrance was unusual and seemed familiar.

But for a moment she couldn't remember.

Fu Yunni was afraid her mother would reveal the truth. Seeing Ye Wanshu's questioning gaze, she quickly said, "Sister Ye, this... lady is so pitiful. How about we take her back to Taowu with us? Otherwise, what will we do if she gets into danger again?"

Ji Yunze glanced at Concubine Zhang. Although she looked a little embarrassed, her elegant and noble temperament could not be concealed. She was definitely rich or noble. The enemies such a person would probably be quite powerful.

Worried that she would bring trouble to Ye Wanshu, Ji Yunze quickly spoke: "Prince Yongning has already issued an order that refugees from all over the country entering Yuezhou can be taken in by the government. This place is not far from the county government office, so why not let me take them..."

"Shut up."

Before he could finish his words, Concubine Zhang and Fu Yunni scolded him at the same time.

Everyone was stunned, and Ye Wanshu couldn't help but lower her eyebrows and look at Fu Yunni.

"Sister Ye, look at how pitiful it is for Auntie to be hunted down all by herself. If she is ignored again when she goes to the county government office, her life will be so miserable."

Fu Yunni tugged at Ye Wanshu's skirt and pleaded pitifully, "Just take Auntie back to Taowu with you."

Ye Wanshu had already seen that the little guy liked to sympathize with the weak, and she felt the same pity when she saw Xiao Shuangshuang.

After exchanging a glance with Ji Yunze, Ye Wanshu smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, Master Ji. Taowu is a quiet place. It would be good for this young lady to recuperate there for a few days."

With five hundred elite soldiers from the royal palace stationed in Chifeng Camp, she was not afraid that anyone would dare to cause trouble.

Before Ji Yunze could respond, Concubine Zhang excitedly grabbed Ye Wanshu's hand and said with deep emotion, "Thank you, young lady. You are such a kind person. I will definitely repay you in the future."

"You're welcome, Auntie."

Ye Wanshu supported her as they walked towards the carriage, but Concubine Zhang kept looking at her with her head tilted to one side, nodding from time to time, which made Ye Wanshu blush.

"Auntie, is there something dirty on my face?" Ye Wanshu asked embarrassedly.

"How could that be? The girl is born with natural beauty, and her face and heart are as pure as hers." Concubine Zhang said with satisfaction.

"Auntie, you are really good at judging people."

Ye Wanshu felt a little embarrassed by her praise. After a moment of silence, when she looked up again, she saw that the "auntie" had already got into the carriage with the little kid in her arms. The two of them looked as intimate as mother and daughter.

Ye Wanshu looked quite surprised.

Concubine Zhang seemed to have noticed something and explained without blushing or beating her heart: "Well, this little girl is really so familiar with everyone she meets."

"Yes, that's just her personality."

Thinking of the first time she met the little kid, Ye Wanshu no longer had any doubts.

After all, the little princess's biological mother is the Dowager Consort of Yongning Palace, who lives far away in Yuezhou. She wouldn't come to this small Yuhua Town.
