      Rebirth As Richest Lady - Wen Liu

      INTENT

      CHAPTER 201 - NO ONE IS TO BE OFFENDED GENERAL XIE

      On the morning of the third day, at the assistant minister's office in the Ministry of Industry.

      Just as Yang Jiancheng was dressed neatly, before even walking to the door, he smelt a thick stench of blood, and could not help but frown and ask: Where's the stench of blood coming from? Who would do something so unclean?

      The follower said respectfully, I'll clean it up immediately.

      Yang Jiancheng was in a hurry to go to the morning assembly, so he did not ask too much.

      However, when the attendant s opened the door, Yang Jiancheng saw a dozen or so heads lined up neatly in front of the door. They just so happened to be the group of people he sent out to kill Linglan last night.

      Not a single one was missing; all of them were here.

      Yang Jiancheng was so scared that he fainted on the spot.

      The entire house was in a mess, Lady Yang herself did not dare to step out, and her pillar of support was unconscious, so no one had anything to do with her, so she could only ask Ministry of Punishments to deal with these people's heads.

      This disturbance reached the imperial court.

      When the Minister heard about this, the first thing he thought of was Little Tyrant Xie.

      Ever since Xie Heng had entered the Dijing, these people had been living in fear and trepidation. If they slept until the middle of the night, even the slightest movement in the wind or grass could scare them awake.

      Other than this man, there was really no one else who would dare to kill an assassin and send his head back to their master with such arrogance.

      Xie Heng was currently in the Black Feather Camp, so he did not come to the meeting.

      Old Emperor asked the officials, Who do you think did this? At that time, no one dared to pour dirty water on Little Tyrant Xie.

      Yang Jiancheng had been struck with bad luck this time. Today, his head was in front of his door, and it was possible that his entire family would be together tomorrow.

      No one wanted to follow a piece of bad luck.

      Until the court was dismissed.

      Everyone walked out in small groups, and started discussing about the Yang Jiancheng family in low voices.

      A few princes and sons of officials followed Zhao Feng back to the East Palace, and after they entered the Palace gates, they started to talk about it with ease, Because of my daughter's matter, Yang Jiancheng had broken off ties with Xie Heng, and even lost his own daughter. I really wonder how he managed to get himself into the position of Minister!

      After what happened today, who didn't know that it was Xie Heng who did it? But during the assembly, no one dares to say anything, even the Prince Rui did not speak up for Yang Jiancheng, haha.

      It's rare for the Prince Rui to have a brain like this, if he were to fight with the Little Tyrant Xie again, I feel that Xie Heng would be able to pull out his sword and kill him on the spot!

      Isn't Yang Jiancheng a member of the Prince Rui? Now that it's like this, it's more or less the same as Xie Heng.

      The few of them laughed as they chatted, but they did not forget to compliment Zhao Feng, "The Crown Prince has foresight, and was on good terms with Xie Heng. Now that the Black Feather Camp was in his hands, the safety of his Dijing City was tied to him alone. Unless it is a heinous crime, the Emperor will not make things difficult for him. Such a simple matter, how is it that Prince Rui will not understand?

      Zhao Feng laughed, and did not say much.

      One of them said, "I heard that Yang Jiancheng found out that Xie Heng is related to the State Duke Heng and wanted to borrow Xie Heng's cousin's help to do something.

      State Duke Heng? Zhao Feng laughed: "That was 20 years ago. How old is Xie Heng? Eighteen? Nineteen? Back then, how cleanly did those people from the State Duke Heng Palace die?

      The old ministers did not say a word.

      The late emperor had no sons, only two princesses. The eldest princess was a stunning genius, while the youngest princess was intelligent and wise. The late emperor had thought about passing the throne to his daughter, and more than half of the ministers had supported him.

      At that time, Zhao Yi was Crown Prince Ning, but in terms of natural talent and strategy, he could not even compare to his older cousin.

      Great loyal officials like the State Duke Heng were exiled and exiled, with the rest being exiled and exiled from their families. Some died, while some died, while the rest were exiled and exiled, with not a single one remaining.

      If not for this, the State of Yan would not have become a single word. As things stood, generals were unable to accept them, and civil servants were everywhere in the empire. Neighbors would occasionally bite each other, and the border would be pushed back again and again. The enemies had already hit your doorstep, and a group of ministers were clamoring to negotiate.

      At the mention of this, everyone lost their interest in chatting.

      Someone said: "Even if Xie Heng is a member of the State Duke Heng Palace, so what? That was twenty years ago, what does that have to do with our Crown Prince? If Xie Heng really wants to bring up the old matter again, why would he need to worry about his help?

      On the surface, Zhao Feng had a faint smile on his face, he did not agree, and did not say anything bad, and continued to discuss political matters with everyone.

      Only after more than an hour did everyone leave.

      Crown Prince‘s Wife Li Yingyue brought in a cup of tea and passed it to Zhao Feng, saying with a smile: Why should Your Highness worry about Xie Heng? Now, there is a matter of life and death waiting for His Highness.

      Zhao Feng held Li Yingyue's hand and said warmly: Oh? What's the point of loving an imperial concubine?

      The two of them had always treated each other with utmost respect. When outsiders saw the young master of the crown prince, they felt extremely envious of the Crown Prince‘s Wife's benevolence.

      Actually, when the Eastern Palace was locked up, the two rarely got close together.

      Li Yingyue carefully and gently leaned on Zhao Feng and whispered: Those three people from Xie Family are not ordinary people. With the Black Feather Camp in Xie Heng's hands, let alone whether or not the old portion of the Black Feather Camp can be retracted, just the current number of troops is enough to make Prince Rui clench his teeth in hatred.

      Zhao Feng smiled as he listened to her quietly.

      Xie Xuan, this silent fool, had snatched the scholar away in one go. He threw away his Dijing City and insisted on running into the Yun State to stir up some trouble. It can be seen that he is also ambitious. Also, how long has it been since Fourth Young Master Xie Yu came to the capital? Li Yingyue said: Today, there is no one from the famous and influential sects that doesn't know about him. It's one thing if he really is a hubbub of fun, but if this kind of person has a mind of his own and is trying to do something at the Dijing, then chenqie will think about it and be extremely terrified.

      The smile on Zhao Feng's face dimmed a little, Then what exactly does beloved concubine mean?

      Your Highness, think about it. Who do you think is the most important among the three people in Xie Family? Li Yingyue kept them in suspense for a while, smiled sweetly, and was charming and lovable.

      Zhao Feng thought for a while, then laughed: Wen Jiu?

      Yes. Li Yingyue smiled and said, Chenqie asked around a long time ago. Wen Jiu never married the Fifth Young Master at all, and today she's still a girl. A few days ago, she had even personally went to the Xie Family, only that the method she used was not quite right, and was rejected by the Xie Family.

      Zhao Feng said with a smile: I have heard that the marriage of a man and a woman is entirely based on fate. Could it be that beloved concubine has another ingenious plan?

      Of course there are, and in a few days it will be the Empress's 50th birthday. As long as an order is given on the spot, there's no room for Wen Jiu to refuse it. Li Yingyue slowed his tone and said slowly: There are still those with Xie Family. With this relationship, we can't possibly go and help others."

      Zhao Feng nodded his head, "Looks like my beloved concubine already had a plan. I'll leave this matter to you to handle.

      Li Yingyue kissed him on the lips, If Your Highness is happy, then I am happy.

      Zhao Feng reached out to her and hugged her, pressing her onto the soft couch as he untied her clothes with a smile, I know what you're thinking.

      CHAPTER 202 - I TOOK IT WITH ME

      A few days later, the beginning of summer gradually arrived, the day became much hotter, the night was short and the day was long.

      Xie Heng didn't return home for a few days, saying that he was busy with military matters and directly lived in the Black Feather Camp.

      And within the Dijing City, Empress Yang's Fifty Inheritance was extremely grand, even the Boss Wen who bought half of the North Street were extremely busy, such as the wine and various items used at the banquet, all of the royal family's purchases were made through her.

      The two of them would occasionally meet, but they could only casually talk for a bit, and didn't have the time to talk much.

      It was only on the day of Empress Yang's birthday that Wen Jiu finally found the time to sit and chat with the madame and the two young ones in the garden behind Xie's Mansion.

      Lieutenant Sun's culinary skills gradually reached perfection. At the very least, the pastries he made already looked pretty good. The two kids in the mansion loved to eat them.

      Third Madame Xie took a bite of the Flea Soup and could not help but say, It's not bad, just a little bit sweet. It's easy for children to decay their teeth if they eat too much, and Xiaoliu has to eat less.

      Xie Xiaoqi replied with an Oh, then turned his head around and continued stuffing food into his mouth.

      Third Aunt Aunt. Xiaoliu called out to her, and said in a melancholy tone: I originally did not like eating such sweet pastries, if Third Brother was here, I would definitely not eat a single one, and leave everything to him. But if he could not eat them at such a faraway place, then I will reluctantly help him eat a few more pieces.

      Third Madame Xie was speechless.

      Wen Jiu pampered the two little ones and said with a smile, Eat, just wait until Third Brother comes back and let Lieutenant Sun cook for him.

      Xiaoliu nodded and continued to chew.

      Sister-in-law. Xie Zian suddenly thought of something and looked up at her. Why hasn't Eldest Brother returned recently? he asked. Is there someone outside? "

      Wen Jiu could not help but laugh, he bent down and asked the little gongzi, Do you know what the meaning of there are people outside? Say, your elder brother, be careful that he comes back to punish you.

      Does Elder Brother look like the kind of person who would secretly raise beauties outside? Xie Xiaoliu raised his hand and knocked it on the head of the Xiaoqi Brothers, "If he was someone else, he would have brought him back to the Palace a long time ago.

      The two of them had their own ideas, so it was hard for them to say anything when they were talking.

      Xie Xiaoliu raised his head to look at her, Sister-in-law, elder brother always stays at home, aren't you anxious?

      Wen Jiu, ...

      Sixth Miss's question was a little wild, she must be anxious, as though she was really afraid that Xie Heng had raised someone outside.

      Tell me if you're in a hurry... When the Little Tyrant returned, she might not value him at all.

      That's not right.

      Wen Jiu raised his eyes slightly, Perhaps the military is too busy to leave, after a period of time when you have nothing better to do, you will return to your residence.

      Old Madame Xie coughed lightly and changed the topic, Dong Feng is so busy, does it mean that he's about to fight?

      The two youngsters stopped joking around.

      The word war was too heavy for those who yearned for peace and prosperity.

      Wen Jiu comforted gently: It should come sooner or later. With brother here, we don't need to be afraid of outsiders in Great Yan.

      Old Madame Xie looked at her for a while, then nodded: What you said makes sense.

      Just as they were talking …

      The court maid came to report, and the palace attendant passed along the imperial concubine's imperial decree. The empress has an order to invite Miss Wen to the Moon Lake for the banquet.

      When Wen Jiu heard this Miss Wen, he had a bad premonition.

      Because of Little Tyrant Xie's reputation of being bloodthirsty, Xie Family had never interacted with anyone in the Dijing City. The boss's birthday banquet, the Xi Family's wedding ceremony, had all tacitly set aside Xie Family, and no one wanted to make a thunderclap on a good day.

      The Empress Yang was fifty years old, and the palace had long since sent posts to the nobles, the only difference being that they did not have Xie Family.

      No matter how you looked at it, it did not seem to be a good thing. Xie Heng was not summoned, nor did she mention the Xie Family women.

      The people from Xie Family were also a little uneasy in their hearts.

      Wen Jiu walked forward, and without leaving a trace, he gave her a sealed red, and faintly smiled: It's been hard on Eunuch to come specially for this trip, I'll go change myself, and come over later.

      The middle-aged attendant with a pale face and no beard benefited as he smiled, The Miss Wen is fortunate. It's been years since the empress has fallen in love with a girl from another family. My house will be waiting outside, Young Madame is faster.

      Wen Jiu called the maid to go to the parlour to serve tea.

      For a time, only Xie Family and the rest of the people remained in the rear garden. However, there was no longer that smile from before.

      The Old Madame Xie said, Dong Feng is not in the palace, the empress is calling you over right now … The hearts of these nobles are full of twists and turns, and I suddenly feel a little uneasy.

      Where are the gold men? Third Madame Xie looked around, but he did not see any sign of Fourth Young Master, and angrily said: I haven't seen anyone all day, and have not done anything serious at all, and do not know what I am busy with!

      The servant girl beside Fourth Young Master said softly, Young master must have gone out to do some work.

      Third Madame Xie said: Go and find him, and have him accompany Jiu!

      There's no need to trouble yourself. Wen Jiu laughed, Fourth Brother has things to do, I can take care of them myself.

      Old Madame Xie and Third Madame Xie instructed her a little more. Wen Jiu comforted a family of old and young, and when she left her home, dusk had arrived.

      South of the city, Moon Embracing Lake.

      It was said that the founder of Great Yan had named his wife after the moon. Yan Chaoge had steadily spread the word for 300 years. The Zhao Dynasty had yet to completely destroy the roots of their ancestors, and it was all because of the foundation laid by the First Emperor that they had such a deep foundation.

      The Empress Yang's 50th birthday banquet was set up here, just this location alone showed that the Old Emperor valued her greatly.

      By the time Wen Jiu arrived, the sky had already completely darkened.

      The jade-green lake's color could not be seen, and within the lake, tens of boats were lit up. The dragon boat in the center carried hundreds of female servants and ignited countless lanterns, illuminating the center of the lake until it was as bright as day.

      Leaning on the shore, the small boats formed a row, unceasingly sending the noble ladies and mistresses back and forth.

      Every time this happened, everyone would seem to lose their memories and forget their neighbors that were glaring at them like tigers stalking their prey.

      In this period of time, the flowers in the clouds were talking and laughing nonstop. The faint sound of the zither floated across the surface of the water. It was a scene of singing, dancing, and beautiful embroidery.

      The attendant by his side called the boatman, turned around, and said to Wen Jiu: Miss Wen, please.

      Just as Wen Jiu was about to board the boat, someone suddenly called out from not too far away: Wen Jiu!

      She turned her head, and saw the palace maids clustered around Eldest Princess, walking towards her.

      I thought she came late enough, but there were even later ones.

      Wen Jiu leisurely made a bow, and Zhao Jingyi stretched out his hand to pull her over, directly boarding the extremely elegantly decorated pleasure boat.

      Eldest Princess did not even look back as he instructed the middle-aged attendant to bring Wen Jiu over, I will take him away, you return alone.

      Eldest Princess …

      The servant still wanted to say something, but Zhao Jingyi's group had already boarded the boat and left the shore in an elegant manner.

      Wen Jiu stood at the bow of the boat and laughed, "It's been a while since we last met.

      That's enough. Even if you don't want money, you don't have to say it every time you see me. Zhao Jingyi laughed, then leaned close to her ear and whispered: Leave some energy to deal with the others.

      Wen Jiu raised his eyes, and said with a smile: I will definitely remember Princess's wise words in my heart.

      The wind blew gently on the surface of the lake, causing his clothes to flutter.

      It was early summer, so the lotus branches that filled the lake rose out of the water. Only then did Little He reveal its sharp horn.

      Wen Jiu. Zhao Jingyi suddenly called out to her in a low voice: The people in the Dijing City are far more dangerous and complicated than you think. You must be careful.

      Wen Jiu was a little surprised. This Eldest Princess usually did not meddle in other people's business, it was rare for her to be so concerned about him.

      It was impossible to say that he was not moved at all.

      She raised her head and smiled so hard that her eyes curved into crescents. So … Eldest Princess specially came here for me today? "

      CHAPTER 203 - BE CAREFUL OF YOURSELF

      Zhao Jingyi came out after a while, and the current Empress Yang had to endure for many years before he could finally become the main empress of the palace from an imperial concubine. Others would proclaim her to be a thousand years old, but to the Eldest Princess, she was merely a woman who took over the position of her mother.

      Wen Jiu. Zhao Jingyi reached out his hand and rubbed Wen Jiu's face, A person who puts on an act at such a cheap price is truly unpleasing to the eye.

      But the princess smiles every time she says I don't please her. Wen Jiu looked into her eyes, without a single trace of the depressed and humiliated look he had when they first met. He laughed, his almond eyes shining brightly, If I don't desire to make the princess happy, then I would rather be someone who doesn't desire to be.

      Zhao Jingyi laughed and looked away, I hope that you can still act so shameless in front of others.

      Wen Jiu laughed without saying a word.

      The cruise liner headed towards the dragon boat with the wind. The palace maids were standing around with octagonal lanterns in their hands. The lights were dazzling, and even the wind in front of them was getting hotter.

      The ladies at the banquet were discussing softly. The old Empress and Empress Yang were seated at the head, looking quite spirited.

      Zhao Jingyi did not avoid the suspicion either, and brought Wen Jiu to greet the two, as if it was common for her to be together with this Young Madame from Xie Family.

      One said to meet father, one said to meet emperor, and the latter half of the sentence Empress was in strange unison.

      Wen Jiu looked at Eldest Princess with surprise, only to see that the other party had an indifferent expression, as proud as a phoenix, he would not bend his waist for an ordinary mortal.

      She only knew that Zhao Jingyi came from the empress dowager, and did not have any sort of relationship with the person sitting on the Phoenix Seat. However, she did not know that this princess would actually treat Empress Yang with such indifference in front of everyone.

      From the looks of it, it seemed as if he had come all the way for her.

      Wen Jiu thought.

      The court ladies below seemed to have long gotten used to Eldest Princess's ways. Each and every one of them smiled and wished the empress an eternal life, wishing that they could use all of their family's resources to give her a birthday present.

      Zhao Yu, who was sitting beside the Empress Yang now, stared at Wen Jiu for a long time, acting like the Seventh Princess, but his tone was a little sour, I have often heard that there was a female God of Wealth in the Dijing City, in just a short half a year, she had already surpassed the first-rich Wang Family, I wonder what kind of congratulatory gift did the Wealth God Wen send over today?

      It was probably because Xie Heng's attacks were not light previously, that Zhao Yu had been recuperating from his injuries, the arrogant and despotic little princess' personality had diminished a lot, and she just found Wen Jiu even more unpleasing to the eye.

      Everyone stretched out their necks to watch the commotion.

      The little princess had given her the title of Wealth God Wen. If the gifts presented to the Empress Yang were not expensive enough, with a few heavy words, it would be easy for her to be charged with a crime on the spot.

      Wen Jiu thought for a moment and could not help but remind himself: If you want to live a good life, you must not offend women.

      Especially the women of the palace.

      There were quite a few pure and flawless white jades, and it just so happened to be as light as a piece of paper, a total of 28 pieces. When she folded the fan, it didn't look too heavy, but when she opened it, it was a peony painting.

      Wen Jiu said, I wish Empress Fang Hua will remain here forever.

      This wedding gift could not be considered good or bad, it could only be described with one word, expensive.

      Wen Jiu had originally wanted to earn a lot of silver from Empress Yang's birthday banquet, so she would show some sincerity by giving a gift to others. The ladies who frequently went to various banquets all knew that Empress Yang was an elegant person, and liked antique calligraphy and paintings the most.

      But Xie Xuan had a bad temper, who knows when he would start acting like this and casually smash this precious object into her head. Not only was he blind with the money, he was also a deadly weapon.

      After some thought, she brought it here.

      Empress Yang seemed to like it, and praised Wen Jiu right away.

      The expressions of the people in the crowd became more subtle as they listened. Who didn't give away rare things? Why was she so popular with the empress?

      Wen Jiu received the praise without care for the reactions of the people around him

      He thought to himself: I've spent so much money, but I can't listen to any of it?

      This was a sudden change in the topic of conversation in the Empress Yang, Who knows who will be like next?

      Wen Jiu pretended not to understand and said slowly: I have been a Xie Family for a long time. When the leaves fall back to their roots next year, I will also be a wisp of my Xie Family.

      The Empress Yang didn't say anything and instructed her to take a seat, which was extremely close to the front. Zhao Jingyi was too lazy to move, and directly sat together with her.

      Today, all the nobles and officials of the Great Yan were gathered on the dragon boat, with men and women seated separately. The palace maids were standing with lanterns in their hands.

      The people behind Wen Jiu all knew her, so after tasting the wine, they asked her about the new jewelry in the Golden Jade Pavilion and whether she could keep some of the clothes that she couldn't supply for herself.

      She dealt with these ladies and ladies with extreme care. She dealt with more than a dozen of them by herself without letting them fall. It was not easy for her to turn her head to drink and take a breath of air.

      Zhao Jingyi, who had been watching her for a long time, couldn't help but laugh, You don't forget to do business no matter where you are. So many people are lusting after it for nothing.

      Eldest Princess's words were truly not pleasing to the ears, but he still carried a smile on his face as his gaze landed on the seat opposite him.

      Wen Jiu also looked over there, and then saw the Royal Uncle Yang raise his glass towards her, and smiled.

      The smile on Wen Jiu's face froze.

      But Zhao Jingyi did not have the intention to let her go, and asked with interest: Did you see that?

      Wen Jiu said: Before, I only borrowed some silver from him, but my elder brother had already went to collect it. After clearing the bill, he did not have anything to do with it anymore, so why is the princess laughing now?

      Zhao Jingyi said: You know everything.

      Wen Jiu complained incessantly in his heart: I know your entire family!

      The dining room was bustling with noise and excitement. The warm wind made them feel drowsy. This way, they would be able to listen to a bunch of good words during the banquet.

      Tell the truth.

      Wen Jiu didn't really like it.

      But since he was here, he had to accompany him to the end of the hall. He had to sit properly in his sitting posture and smile, and it was even worse than going to jail.

      As Zhao Jingyi was talking to her, a internal servant who was carrying a bottle of wine suddenly stumbled and fell, half a pot of wine spilling onto the Eldest Princess's sleeves.

      In the blink of an eye, the surroundings quieted down.

      The internal servant frantically kneeled on the ground and begged, Please forgive me, Eldest Princess. Please spare this servant …

      Zhao Jingyi's lips still carried a smile, Why are you panicking? I still haven't said what I'm going to do to you.

      Old Emperor frowned, Jingyi, today is your mother's birthday banquet.

      Empress Yang immediately said: What are you all standing around for, quickly take me to change my clothes!

      She had a fatherly and loving appearance.

      Zhao Jingyi lifted her lips indifferently, when she got up, she said to Wen Jiu in a low voice, They're going to be demons soon, be careful.

      Wen Jiu nodded.

      Not long after Eldest Princess left, the discussion returned to how it was before, as the lights flickered.

      Wen Jiu saw that Crown Prince‘s Wife Li Yingyue had walked over gracefully and sat beside her without a care in the world.

      CHAPTER 204 - MY WIFE CANNOT SEE BLOOD

      Li Yingyue said: I had originally wanted to invite you to enjoy the spring flowers, but who would have thought that you would be so busy that you would not even be able to see your shadow.

      Without leaving a trace, Wen Jiu leaned to the side and smiled: The Crown Prince‘s Wife is something important, so I didn't dare disturb you.

      Li Yingyue personally poured two cups of wine and handed one to Wen Jiu, The first time I saw you, I knew that you were someone I could get close to. Come, let's drink this cup of wine together, we can be considered friends from now on.

      Wen Jiu accepted the wine cup, holding the cup body and shaking it slightly, but he did not drink.

      What status did the Crown Prince‘s Wife have? To stoop so low to hand over a merchant like her as a handkerchief, it was something that ordinary people would not be able to hope for even if they burned eight lifetimes' worth of incense.

      However, Wen Jiu felt that if she didn't have something to offer, then she must be a thief.

      It wasn't that she was timid, it was just that she had suffered too many losses due to the royalty in her previous life. Now that she saw these people greeting her with a smile, she always felt that this was a trap.

      It was scary.

      Li Yingyue smiled as he looked at her, This wine is from your winery. What, you don't even dare to drink your own wine?

      Wen Jiu was curious as to why the Empress Yang would buy wine from outside the palace for his birthday banquet.

      He was waiting for her here.

      She held the wine cup, her almond-shaped eyes slightly squinting.

      As expected, the Zhao Family ate people without spitting out their bones.

      Li Yingyue raised his cup and clinked it with hers, drinking it all in one gulp.

      Black Feather Camp.

      Xie Heng was dressed in white, and was leaning on the couch and reading a book.

      The candle flame on the table flickered for a moment, and he closed his eyes, recalling those strange dreams in which there was always that girl.

      The Jiu who had a bright and tender smile, and a pair of almond eyes that were rippling with light.

      He felt like he was possessed, and the very thought of her made his heart burn.

      In the darkness of the night, a figure entered the main tent.

      Xie Heng threw the military manual in his hand out right at the incoming person. The seven foot tall man flew out of the window, Don't mention Wen Jiu! I don't want to hear it today!

      It was also the fault of these subordinates in the mansion who could not distinguish between priority and priority.

      Let them stay in the mansion, and let them know if they have any troubles.

      As a result, they came one after another, every day according to the schedule, with every sentence not far from Young Madame, even Wen Jiu who was eating, drank a few mouthfuls of tea, all of what clothes he was wearing today, recounting every detail.

      Even though Xie Heng had not returned for a few days and he couldn't see Wen Jiu, he still listened attentively every day.

      A blue guard who had somehow tripped for no reason crawled up from the ground, scratched his head, and asked puzzledly: Young Master … Are you not going to listen today or not in the future?

      Xie Heng was a little agitated, Scram.

      This little one will f * * k off now. The blue guard retreated a few steps and then suddenly remembered something important. He leaned towards the window and asked, Do you want to hear about the madame's matter?

      Xie Heng looked up, and said solemnly: Speak!

      blue guard said: In the evening, Empress Yang specially sent someone to invite Young Madame to the banquet. The old lady's heart is not at ease, she originally wanted to look for Young Master to go back …

      Before he could finish.

      Xie Heng instantly flipped over and his handsome face instantly darkened, Where is Jiu?

      He knew that the Empress Yang's banquet was to invite all the officials, and those who had better backgrounds would be sent back to the city on leave.

      However, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Xie Family, General's Mansion had not received any threads so Xie Heng did not take it seriously.

      Never would he have thought that there would be such an unforeseen event.

      Those people were completely guarded against him, Xie Heng, and Wen Jiu was the item that could be kept in their eyes.

      Seeing him like that, the blue guard immediately said: South of the city, Moon Embracing Lake.

      The sound of his voice faded.

      Xie Heng had already put on his outer robes, and holding his sword, he walked out, Liang Meng from the Tiger Camp Zhang Xi is on night watch, I have an urgent matter at home, so I will be leaving first.

      When the patrolling officers saw the dark and handsome face of General Xie, they thought that it was some sort of palace change. When they heard that it was about the Xie Family, they immediately felt some pity for the unlucky fellow who had offended General Xie.

      Liang Meng said, General, take us along with you. It's easier to handle matters if there are more people.

      Zhang Xi said: I will go with the general and see who exactly has eyes, to actually dare to go against the family of General Xie, are you tired of living?

      Xie Heng got on his horse and spoke with a heavy tone, To the south of the city is the Moon Lake, are you still going?

      One of the soldiers murmured, Is that the empress's place for the feast?

      Yes. Xie Heng said: Right there.

      The faces of everyone present changed.

      Liang Meng clenched his teeth and said, We can take over Moon Lake, no one can touch anyone from Xie Family!

      Exactly!

      Everyone shouted at once, General Xie, go! We'll go!

      It's not like we're fighting over the bride. Rest for now. Xie Heng held onto the reins, My Young Madame cannot afford to see blood, I can pick it up myself.

      The youth waved his hand, and everyone retreated to the sides.

      The horse disappeared into the night without a trace.

      The group of soldiers were still muttering noisily, Why did General Xie go alone?

      Aiya, I forgot to mention, if General Xie wants to steal my bride next time, you have to call me!

      Enough, why are you making a ruckus! Zhang Xi berated them: General Xie is going to pick up his Young Madame, why should I bring you all there? Rebellion by the way? Go back!"

      Moon Embracing Lake.

      The dragon boat sang and danced non-stop.

      Li Yingyue looked at Wen Jiu smilingly, Miss Wen, I've already drunk it all, what are you still hesitating for?

      The dignified Crown Prince‘s Wife put down his arrogance and urged on again and again.

      Wen Jiu could not pretend that he did not hear anything, the Old Emperor was still on the dragon boat, in front of everyone's eyes, Li Yingyue could not possibly poison her with the alcohol.

      She raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped her lips with her sleeve. Thank you, Crown Prince‘s Wife, for your hospitality.

      Miss Wen sure has a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking the cup, Li Yingyue didn't have the intention to get up and leave. Instead, he sat beside Wen Jiu and started chatting with her, I heard that before, there were many young masters from aristocratic families that went to the Xie Family to propose marriage, so even Miss Wen didn't agree. Today, we are destined to sit together and drink together. Why don't you tell me what you like so that I can take care of it for you."

      This was the real purpose of his visit.

      Wen Jiu laughed when he heard this, The person I like is not in Dijing City, so there's no need for you to worry.

      Is that clear enough?

      However, the other Crown Prince‘s Wife acted as if she didn't hear that, and said to her softly, A person's life is very long, the year that you like today might not come again, but if you don't like today, you might like it after seeing more of it in the future. As time goes on, it's best to always have a companion by your side. Miss Wen, don't you think so?

      Wen Jiu laughed, I was born to be different from others. I like things I like at first glance, and I don't like things I don't like even if I look at them for a long time.

      Li Yingyue frowned, Wen Jiu, you …

      They were talking over there.

      Your majesty, esteemed wangfei, it's a beautiful night. This subject has something on his mind, and after thinking for a long time, I finally couldn't help but ask for your help. I hope everything will come to an end.

      Li Yingyue, who was sitting next to Wen Jiu, did not speak.

      Empress Yang looked at his own younger brother as if he was looking at his own son, and said gently to Old Emperor: Xi Lin is so ridiculous, after all these years, he has finally calmed down a little. It's only been a few days since he last watched, and now he's come to bother your majesty.

      It's fine. The Old Emperor gave the empress enough face as he smiled and asked, Ah, Xi Lin, what do you want?

      This official … Yang Xilin turned around and looked at Wen Jiu, This subject wishes to marry Miss Wen Wen Jiu!

      royal uncle's eyes looked perturbed, but his voice was loud.

      Once he finished speaking, everyone's gaze fell on Wen Jiu.

      CHAPTER 205 - WARM WINE IS NO LONGER A THING OF THE PAST

      Wen Jiu looked down at the wine in his cup.

      She really was overthinking it.

      What does this imperial family want to do to you? How can they have the need to stab you in the back? Even if they stabbed you in the face, you would still accept it and accept the decree to thank them.

      Yang Xilin continued: This subject has admired Miss Wen for a long time, if I were to become his wife, I will never look at another woman in my life! Please grant us your wish, Your Majesty!

      Old Emperor's smile faded and he did not speak for a while.

      The Empress Yang said gently, Xi Lin truly adored the Miss Wen. He was worried and came to beg the emperor. If …

      Wen Jiu? Isn't that Xie Heng's sister-in-law, Young Madame of Xie's Mansion? Zhao Yi frowned, How did you become a Miss Wen again?

      Empress Yang's face stiffened, he was about to speak.

      Royal father doesn't know, that Wen Jiu is just the fiancée of the, she lived here even before the wedding ceremony. It seems that it's because the Fifth Young Master left early and she wanted to marry him again, so she's called 'Miss' again.

      The little princess' words were full of jealousy, and there was even a hint of envy that could not be hidden.

      Zhao Yi looked at the nearby Wen Jiu, and his gaze softened a little, So that's how it is.

      Old Emperor didn't say anything, but everyone else couldn't.

      Yang Xilin was still kneeling below, Your majesty.

      Zhao Yi didn't seem to be too happy about the wedding, he reached out for a cup of wine, but before he could close his lips, he was stopped by Empress Yang, Your majesty, please take care of my dragon body. After that, he tried to persuade her again.

      Old Emperor supported his forehead, saying that he was busy with government affairs and wanted to go back to look at his paper. When he got up, he saw that Yang Xilin was still kneeling and sighed: Regarding this, you have to ask the lady.

      After Zhao Yi and the other officials left, only the ladies and Prince Sun were left.

      Yang Xilin stood up and walked toward Wen Jiu.

      When the man in his thirties looked at Wen Jiu, his face was still a little red, Wen, Miss Wen … The last time I took the liberty of coming to Xie's Mansion to propose was because I was in the wrong. I request that Your Majesty bestow marriage upon me with golden words and eight large palanquins. I … I will definitely treat you well."

      Wen Jiu thought about it for a long time.

      At royal uncle's age, what kind of beautiful girl hadn't she seen before? In terms of loving her appearance, Wen Jiu's face was not that ugly.

      If it was for any other reason, it was definitely for the silver.

      She raised her head and looked at the richly dressed royal uncle in front of her. After holding back for a long time, she said, My family is very poor.

      The crowd was confused.

      I also don't understand what Miss Wen's words mean.

      Even the female god of wealth had come to cry poor, what kind of Feng Shui was this Xie Family?

      Yang Xilin thought that she had drank too much, and that some sort of hallucination had appeared. It took a long time before she managed to answer, It's alright, my house isn't really that poor …

      Oh. Wen Jiu said indifferently, Then royal uncle should look for another beauty. My family is poor, my eldest brother and Fourth Brother are poor enough to not marry. There's also a bunch of old and young, I can't do without Xie Family. The Imperial Uncle's estate is different. If you're not poor, you don't need me.

      Yang Xilin paused, Actually... My Imperial Uncle's estate is rather poor as well … In order to be a little more sincere, royal uncle even emphasized on a few words, Really!"

      The surrounding crowd was completely confused.

      The Noble Heir Zhou opposite of him was overjoyed, These days, getting married is even worse than being poor?

      The other people did not dare to laugh even if they wanted to, but this person was not conceited at all. If it was any other time, Wen Jiu would have smashed him with the wine pot.

      Miss Wen. Yang Xilin nervously rubbed his hands together, "Xie Family will eventually get married. There's no one in this world who can't live without one.

      Wen Jiu originally thought that he would at least give the royal uncle some face in front of so many people.

      Who knew that he was so drunk that he could not understand a single word.

      The officials and wives behind Wen Jiu all followed, royal uncle is sincere this time, the marriage has to be an order from the parents, I have never seen him being so concerned about anyone.

      I heard that the General's Mansion views the Miss Wen as their daughter, so after marrying the royal uncle and becoming their manager, isn't it just a matter of you saying something about using money to supplement your mother's family?

      I feel like royal uncle's words really hit a nerve. This person really does need to think about it for himself …

      If Wen Jiu was a young miss who wouldn't step out of the door, she would probably believe the lies of these people.

      If royal uncle is really a good son-in-law, why didn't he marry your daughter to him?

      I've thought about it. Wen Jiu got up under the earnest persuasion of the others, and looked at the thirty something year old Yang Xilin who was still as stubborn as a young teenager, I don't want to.

      Her meaning was simple, but her words were clear.

      Yang Xilin was startled, and the surrounding people immediately quietened down.

      Wen Jiu was really going all out, at this time he was not afraid of the two accusations, in his head he was actually thinking, no wonder the Third Young Master was normally so kind with his words, but with just a few words, he was able to explain himself, why did he have to talk so much to others?

      No matter how much one said it, it would be hard to make sense of the situation. It was far from being as clear and clear as three to four words.

      Miss Wen, are you agreeing? Li Yingyue reacted the fastest, as if he did not hear her words of rejection just now. He pulled Wen Jiu's hand, Don't worry, once you marry the royal uncle, no one will treat you badly.

      Li Yingyue used a force that was hard to escape from, but he was smiling.

      Wen Jiu was speechless for a moment.

      The women of this palace were even more terrifying than the ferocious tigers on the mountain.

      At this time, the Empress Yang on the Phoenix Seat laughed and asked: Is this a success?

      Li Yingyue pulled Wen Jiu, faced towards the main seat, and laughed: Mother, it's done!

      The ladies behind him all laughed. It's a success!

      Miss Wen is shy!

      Look, she's too embarrassed to speak.

      Since royal uncle is so sincere, how can I not agree?

      Wen Jiu was in a daze for a while, her ears buzzing. It seemed like she could not understand a single word these people were saying.

      And as if he had understood everything, his entire body turned cold in an instant.

      When Old Emperor left, he was the biggest.

      It was unknown when all the boats by the lake had disappeared without a trace. In this huge Moon Embracing Lake, the smoke was vast and boundless. It was a rare sight to behold.

      At the same time, there was no other way.

      With Moon Embracing Lake as the net, he forced his way through the night feast step by step. Furthermore, these people said that the night had come to an end, and once this matter was settled, even if Wen Jiu wanted to go back on his words, he would not be able to go back on his words.

      Wen Jiu became a turtle in a jar.

      She had heard people say that a deer is a horse as a joke and had never thought that one day she, too, would become the strong deer that was said to be a horse.

      It was as if she was
