After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 335: Actually I Want to See a Lively Scene

"What about the two children?"

Jiang Shu was startled, "Master, how do you know there are two more children?"

"I met the three of them by chance in Pingjin Mansion."

After entering the Shang Mansion, she and Ayi temporarily found a farmer's house to stay in because of a case of missing disaster relief silver. The lady there said her surname was Fu, and she remembered the incident very clearly.

Jiang Shu explained, "The two children were rescued by Old Madam Xie on her way to the country farm. At that time, the couple were almost starving to death and wanted to sell their children. Old Madam couldn't bear it, so she bought them all."

Yuan Qing nodded, "I see."

After seeing Jiang Shu off, Yuan Qing sat back in his seat and slowly ate the food on the table.

No matter what the second brother planned, she had no intention of interfering in her relationship with Xie Zhixiao.

I helped her in the beginning, firstly to overthrow the power of Yongyu Hou, and secondly...

Actually, I just want to see some fun.

There are also extensive records of this in the original book.

Later, conflicts broke out with the State of Liang. Even when the Yuan Dynasty was gradually declining, it was still able to deal with the State of Liang for more than ten years, all because of one person.

That was Xie Zhixiao who had disappeared long ago.

He spent more than ten years sleeping on straw and eating bitter food, secretly gathering information in Liang State and constantly sending back useful intelligence, which enabled the Yuan Dynasty to still have the strength to resist.

After returning, he became the number one military general because of this achievement and succeeded Wen Beixu as the regent.

In addition to these, the most talked-about thing is the girl who came back with him.

The most ridiculous plot is here.

That year, he was seriously injured and fled to the mountains. When he was about to be eaten by a wild beast, a hunter appeared and saved him.

Xie Zhixiao's injuries were so severe that the hunter could only go up the mountain to hunt and collect herbs every day to treat his injuries, leaving his daughter to take care of him.

The hunter also knew that since he had pushed his daughter away, she would have to be entrusted to that man in the future.

So he took even better care of the man, even though the man had no feelings for his daughter at all, and in recognition of his dedication, he took her out of the ravine.

He didn't care about being a concubine or anything like that. It was better to be out there than to stay here all his life and not have enough food to eat.

Xie Zhixiao saw the sincerity of the father and daughter, and he saw through the old hunter's plan, but he could not agree, because his sweetheart was waiting for him to return to Beijing.

Day after day, Xie Zhixiao's injuries gradually healed.

But at this time, the old hunter was injured by the wild beast due to exhaustion and it was difficult to recover.

The old hunter was lying on the bed, tearfully entrusting his daughter to him, "I have been poor and miserable all my life, but the only thing I am worried about is this daughter."

The old hunter held his daughter's hand tightly and rubbed it over and over again, as if he was extremely reluctant to let go.

"My daughter, daddy can no longer take care of you. You have to learn to take good care of yourself and start over in a place where no one knows you."

As he said this, he looked at the man, and with an excited look on his face, he was about to kneel down before him.

Xie Zhixiao hurriedly supported the old hunter, "What are you doing..."

The old hunter burst into tears, "I beg you, please take her away. It doesn't matter how you arrange it, just take her away from here."

The old hunter did not ask the man to take his daughter as a concubine, because he could see that the man was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.

In that case, he might as well take a step back.

Xie Zhixiao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

In this way, he took the peasant girl with him, supporting each other all the way to Xuzhou.

He and the peasant girl disguised themselves and entered the city, but what he heard unexpectedly were rumors that he had already committed treason.

Xie Zhixiao found it hard to believe. He inquired a lot and found out that not only was he branded as a traitor, but even his fiancée was missing.

He was overwhelmed with pain. Having lost both his reputation and his beloved, he could only wander around in a daze.

As to how he eventually went to Liang State, it is not clear.

In his previous life, Xie Zhixiao always had Jiang Shu in his heart and never forgot her, so he refused to marry and have children.

The peasant girl also knew that he had someone in his heart.

Although they were not married in name, they always supported and cared for each other until the end of their lives.

She thought that since the peasant girl and Xie Zhixiao returned to the court together in the previous life, the same thing should not change in this life.

Although the second sister looks weak, she is very strong-willed inside. If Xie Zhixiao dares to do anything wrong to her, she will break up with him without mercy.

On one side is old love, on the other side is gratitude.

She wanted to see which of the two roads that stood before Xie Zhixiao he would choose.

That scene is exciting just thinking about it.

……

Someone has already reported what happened at the Yongyu Marquis's Mansion.

Before the news from the court came out, trouble broke out in the mansion of Earl Yongyu.

Princess He Yong couldn't swallow this humiliation and couldn't sleep every day.

"Tell me what this is. I married into the Xie family, hoping to live a peaceful life. But who would have thought that such a weak person could do such a thing against his conscience?!"

Then she stood up and yelled outside, "Isn't he afraid of being punished by God?!"

The nanny hurriedly supported the princess and said, "Oh my master, please don't say it. There are servants outside listening. If it gets out, it will be embarrassing for you. Even if you are angry, you should think more about the two young ladies."

Thinking of their two daughters, Princess He Yong forced herself to hold back her anger, twisted her handkerchief and cursed angrily, "This awful thing!"

The nanny was right. She had two other daughters, one was waiting to get married in the mansion, and the other was frail and sickly and was being raised in a nunnery. They were the only two she had in her life.

She no longer had much hope for anything else; she had to think about the two children.

Just be patient. It won’t be too late to settle accounts with that coward after her daughter gets married.

He Yongjunzhu said: "Go to Chen's house and ask them to prepare as soon as possible. The sooner the better."

She couldn't wait even a day longer.

"Yes."

When Chen Xingwei heard about the Yongyu Marquis's residence, he hurriedly called his son over and said, "How about we not get married?"

Chen Zhuo was helpless, "...Father, the wedding date is approaching, how can we just not do it? Besides, how are you going to explain this to the princess?"

When talking about Princess Yong, Chen Xingwei gritted his teeth and said, "I said that the Second Miss is still young, so it's okay to do it a few years later?"

He was really scared.

If something really happened in the Yongyu Marquis's Mansion, then his relative would certainly not be able to escape, and His Majesty would definitely find out about it.

Chen Zhuo: “…”

"Master, someone is coming from the princess's side." Someone said outside the door.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

Chen Xingwei's heart trembled, "Who are you talking about?"

"It's someone close to the princess, who said he came to discuss something important with you."

Chen Xingwei glanced at his son and asked, "What do you think she meant by this?"

Chen Zhuo shook his head.

Chen Xingwei said to the door: "Serve the tea first, I'll be right there."

The person outside the door left.

Chen Xingwei thought about it and finally decided to go and meet her. Regardless of whether the marriage would take place or not, he could not lose face for the princess.

"Oh, Ma'am, I haven't seen you for a long time. How is the princess?"

The nanny bowed lightly, her face respectful, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Chen. The princess is in good health."

"Madam, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Master Chen." Nanny sat down next to the stool. "I heard that Master Chen wants to postpone the wedding for you, young master?"

Chen Xingwei was shocked.

He had just said this to his son and had never mentioned it to anyone else. How did the princess know about it?

"Master Chen, are you dissatisfied with the marriage?"

Although the nanny's voice was soft, there was a threat in her words.

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just feel that we are rushing things and we don't have enough time to prepare things..."

"Master Chen, don't worry about this." The nanny said, "The second young lady is the princess's jewel in the palm. The princess will think carefully and will not allow any mistakes to happen."

Chen Xingwei still felt something was wrong, "What about the princess..."

"This is what the princess meant." The nanny said firmly, "As long as your son treats the second young lady well, everything will be fine."

Chen Xingwei's face was covered with sweat. "Yes, yes, yes, Mammy is right. I will definitely treat the Second Miss like a treasure and will never let her suffer any injustice."

After sending the person away, Chen Xingwei turned around and was about to go back to his room, but he ran into his son Chen Zhuo.

"father?"

Chen Xingwei pulled him back and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

The two walked to a secluded place, and Chen Xingwei asked, "Why do you think the princess is so anxious?"

Chen Zhuo shook his head.

Chen Xingwei was so angry that he knocked his head, "How could I give birth to such a stupid son like you?!"

Chen Zhuo covered his head and jumped up and down, "If you think I'm stupid, then go find someone smart to be your son!"

Chen Xingwei raised his hand and hit him again.

"I'm talking to you seriously, don't interrupt!"
