Chapter 105 The Dowry
When the commotion outside was in full swing, Ye Lingxi was standing in front of the window of the main house of Heyi Garden, writing something with a pen in his hand, with an indescribable solemnity between his brows.

When Qing'er came in with tea, she happened to see Ye Lingxi stuffing the letter into an envelope.

"Miss, let's have a cup of ginger tea to drive away the cold." Qing'er put the teacup by Ye Lingxi's hand, looked at Ye Lingxi's pale face, and felt unspeakable worries in her heart. Miss came back yesterday more than they did. Early in the morning, probably because of the cold and tiredness, she had already fallen asleep when they came back, but then she tossed and turned again at night for some reason, having nightmares again and again.

After returning to Liyang City, it was the first time that the young lady could not sleep like this. After waking up this morning, her complexion was not good.Are you annoyed at the failure to rob the prisoner yesterday? !In fact, she really wanted to ask Miss yesterday what happened after she left with the man in black, but seeing Miss's expression, she faintly felt that she shouldn't ask, so she simply didn't ask.

"Send this letter to Ling Yun's pawn shop." Ye Lingxi handed the envelope to Qing'er,
Qing'er took the letter and glanced at the words on the envelope, Uncle He? !Is it the shopkeeper of that store? !After scrutinizing it for a moment, she asked doubtfully, "Now?"

"Immediately!" Ye Lingxi said with an indescribable solemnity on his face.

It is rare for Qing'er to see Ye Lingxi look so serious, and instantly knew that this letter is very important to the young lady, so she nodded immediately, "Servant will go right away." As he spoke, he glanced at the teacup on the table, "Miss will also take the letter while it is hot." After drinking this tea, the servant will be back in a while!" She put the envelope in her arms and went out.

Ye Lingxi looked at the steaming teacup, and her deep eyes were full of mist. She suddenly stretched out her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, her heart suddenly warmed up a lot. It will cause sickness, even though she has recuperated for three years, it still treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

The fierce fighting yesterday had pushed her body to the limit, and she passed out directly in the end.

I don't know if the tossing and turning last night was due to physical discomfort, or the fear that came from the bottom of my heart. When she woke up this morning, her consciousness was still there before she fell into a coma yesterday. She thought she was dead again!Fear and anxiety suddenly invaded her heart. She couldn't die, and Chen Ling couldn't die!The pride of being Chen Ling didn't allow him to die like this without any resistance.But when she saw clearly the appearance of the person in the mirror, she was extremely frustrated at that moment.Chen Ling, have you forgotten?You are already dead!
She turned her head and looked out the window. The weather in March, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the grass is growing and the warblers are flying. It is a good time to go out for an outing. What would she do in the past? !
Calling friends, climbing high and looking far, horse racing in the suburbs of Beijing, indulge in freedom and ease!It is full of youthful spirit, in the prime of life.At that time, relatives and brothers were in front of us, enjoying the family and friendship forever!
Li Qu was the whistleblower of the Chu family's treason case back then, and the most direct way to reverse the case for the Chu family was to get him to retract the confession, she could think of it, and others could think of it too.Like Uncle He, like Ming Yu.So before they act, she is willing to defy the law.Sure enough, there were ambushes all over the prison, probably waiting for the remnants of the Chu family to fall into the trap.Qin Jingyuan's move is really superb!
If it wasn't for Jun Qianlan's sudden appearance yesterday, she might be a prisoner in this prison now, but after this incident, Ming Yu probably wouldn't act rashly again.

The beauty of the past is always nostalgic, and she does not regret yesterday's robbery.If she had to sacrifice something, she would rather that person be her.Revenge is of course important, but some people, with some feelings, cannot live up to it a second time. The hatred of the Chu family is hers from the beginning to the end, and no one should sacrifice for it.The asylum that the Chu family could not give back then has been given by her since she was reborn!

It's just how long can she give it... Ye Lingxi lowered her eyes slightly, she had never felt so powerless, as if she had been stripped naked, waiting for Lingchi from others at any time.

She didn't understand what that person wanted to do!This is the scariest thing.

"Reporting to the Princess, Aunt Rou is asking to see you." A voice outside suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Ye Lingxi glanced outside the door, her eyes flickered, walked to the door, glanced at the maid, and said calmly: "Please come in, Aunt Rou." She raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Rou who was looking up at the gate of the yard With a glance, he suddenly said, "Wait a minute, what happened in the mansion today?"

"If you go back to the Princess, people from An Guogong's mansion came this morning to set a date for the marriage. On the eighth day of the next month, we will marry the three young ladies, and the betrothal gifts have also been delivered." The servant girl replied.

Has the wedding date been set? !Ye Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, then nodded, and instantly understood the reason why Aunt Rou came to find her, she was a smart one.

The maid stepped back, and after a while, Aunt Rou walked in.

"Slave maid greets the princess!" Aunt Rou hurriedly saluted as soon as she entered.

Ye Lingxi helped her up, and said calmly: "Auntie is being polite, it's all from my family. I have been unwell for the past few days, and I haven't visited Fifth Sister. I'm going to get hurt."

Aunt Rou stood up and said with a quick smile: "What's the matter with the princess, Miss Fifth is her duty to save the princess, so it's not worth it for you to visit her. It's a great honor for her to have your concern. "

Ye Lingxi smiled lightly, "My aunt's words make me ashamed. In this way, I will ask someone to send some supplements to the fifth younger sister. She is thin and weak, and she was injured again this time. It is time to supplement it." It's not that she doesn't want to see Ye Si, but she understands that she doesn't necessarily want to see her, and it's not an exaggeration to say that she hates her.

"My servant thanked the princess on behalf of Miss Fifth." Aunt Rou was not pretentious this time.

Ye Lingxi nodded, walked to the table, picked up the kettle and poured water.

Taking advantage of this gap, Aunt Rou dared to raise her head to look at the furnishings in the house. All the wood in the house is made of high-quality red sandalwood. There are not too many decorations, but the flower stands placed everywhere in the house reveal a ray of tranquility. Against the plain curtains, there is a bit of the quietness of a boudoir, and the large bookshelves on the side are filled with books, adding a bit of bookishness.Looking at the picture scroll on the desk by the window, she unconsciously imagined the scene of the woman in the capital standing in front of the window painting in her mind, that indifferent, calm, peaceful and distant, how many women in this world can have.

She couldn't figure out why such a proud daughter of heaven would be relegated to the mortal world, willing to marry an ordinary Marquis, become the mistress of an ordinary rich family, let her husband hug her left and right, completely disregarding the dignity of the eldest princess, Only obsessed with his own world.Reciting poems and painting paintings seemed to escape the world, so that Dongyuan became a place isolated from the Houfu.Probably, the people of Tianjia always have different ideas.

"Auntie, what are you thinking?"

Aunt Rou suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at the woman in front of her with a similar face, similar noble and elegant gestures, she was holding a teacup, for a moment, she felt that the woman had come back to life again.But seeing those clear eyes, she instantly came back to her senses.

"No, no, thank you Princess." Aunt Rou quickly took the teacup and said respectfully.

Ye Lingxi's eyebrows tightened slightly, she took a deep look at Aunt Rou, walked to the table and sat down, "Auntie is here today, can I do anything?"

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Rou's anxiety was instantly swept away. How could she have forgotten the purpose of her trip? She walked up to Ye Lingxi, put down the teacup, and said in a deep voice: "Princess, you can't Let that Baishi nonsense come, those things are all yours?"

"Why can't I understand what Auntie said?" Ye Lingxi said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Aunt Rou knew that she was in a hurry and didn't speak clearly, so she couldn't help but paused, and gathered her thoughts, "Princess, the two young ladies from the Bai family are going to get married right now, which will cost a lot of dowry. You If you haven't been in the mansion for these years, you may not know that this Dingyanghou mansion is just an empty shelf. The last time the second lady got married, the dowry that the Bai family could spare was all deducted from the dowry left by His Royal Highness the eldest princess. In the past, when you were not in the mansion, the servants did not dare to say anything even if they knew about it, but now that you are back, the servants dare not report it. The dowry is yours, how can you take advantage of the mother and daughter of the Bai family for nothing. "

Hearing this, Ye Lingxi showed a hint of doubt on his face, "Auntie, this is wrong, didn't Mrs. Bai promise to return the dowry left by my mother to me last time at the old lady's side?" ? How dare she?"

"Princess, it's because you are too kind-hearted and trust people too easily. You don't have the dowry list here, and the amount of dowry is not up to Mrs. Bai." Aunt Rou said anxiously, what she fears most is the princess I didn't believe her, thought she was sowing discord, and couldn't help but continued, "The young master can become a fifth-rank magistrate at a young age, and he has the support of the Bai family, but how can it be possible without money to open up the relationship, princess , you should quickly think of a way, you can't let all the belongings of Her Highness the Princess fall into the hands of Mrs. Bai and her children. Otherwise, go ask the Queen Mother for help."

Ye Lingxi smiled suddenly, and glanced at Aunt Rou, "Why did Auntie help me? It's also for the things my mother left behind, but according to what Auntie just said, those are all mine."

Aunt Rou felt guilty when she saw the half-smile look in her eyes, she lowered her head unconsciously, "It's a servant's honor to be able to work for the princess, and I dare not have any selfishness."

Ye Lingxi was noncommittal, turned her head to look at the tea in the cup, and smiled slightly, "Auntie better remember what I said today."

Hearing these words, Aunt Rou's heart skipped a beat, it was obviously just an ordinary sentence, but it inexplicably sent chills down her spine.

"As for taking back the princess's dowry, the princess plans to..." Aunt Rou couldn't help but continued to ask.

Ye Lingxi put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes were deep, "Auntie is worrying too much, no one can take away what belongs to me."
