Chapter 51
Both Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng have endured hardships, one lived at the bottom of the military camp, and the other became a proton in Qiguo for ten years.Therefore, he didn't dislike this place, and walked directly into the yard openly.

The wife brought the two of them into the firewood room, which was burning with firewood, smoky and hot.

"I rescued her on the mountain two days ago. She was leaning against a tree and was about to starve to death. We fed some porridge to save her. We and my wife wanted to take her to It’s from the official, but this man...will not go anyway.”

Cheng Muqing stepped into the room and saw the thin woman sitting on the straw with her back to her.

The clothes on the woman's body are very worn out, and if you get closer, you can still smell a bad smell.

"This... madam?" Cheng Muqing asked tentatively.

The woman glanced lightly, her face was indifferent and haggard, her eyes were dull, and there was no clean place on her body, she looked no different from a wild man in the mountains.

The woman looked at her for a long time, then said slowly, "You have grown up."

She knows herself?
"You are?" Cheng Muqing frowned suspiciously.

The woman lowered her head and did not speak to her.

Cheng Muqing reached out and straightened the hair covering her face.

The woman is indeed a bit old, but with a high nose bridge and peach blossom eyes, she should be a beauty from the looks of her bones.

However, Cheng Muqing felt that he didn't know her.

"Who are you?" Cheng Muqing asked again.

"Yuan Zhenzhu."

Pearl Yuan...Yuan...

Cheng Muqing was shocked, "The Yuan family?"

Her body froze for a long time, until she heard Lin Heng calling her, the divergent thoughts gathered little by little.

At that moment, she gave some money to the couple who rescued Yuan Zhenzhu, expressing her gratitude.He also carried Yuan Zhenzhu on his back, put it on the little white horse, and drove to the capital with Lin Heng.

Considering Yuan Zhenzhu's current physical condition, Cheng Muqing did not ride too fast.

"You seem to have something on your mind." Lin Heng Yu Ma walked beside her and asked in a low voice.

"Huh?" Cheng Muqing smiled, "Don't think too much, it's nothing."

Lin Heng opened his lips, but did not speak.

Yuan Zhenzhu put on Cheng Muqing's veiled hat, and leaned against her vaguely, as if she had fallen asleep.

"My lord, you said you wanted to stay away from the capital, why?" Cheng Muqing found a topic related to him.

"Hmm... I want to find a place where no one is around." Lin Heng muttered.

"No one?" Cheng Muqing thought for a while, "My lord, we have to communicate with others."

"With you." Lin Heng looked seriously.

"But my... my family is still in the capital, so I can't live in seclusion with you..."

Lin Heng had no expression on his face, just nodded.

After that, the two didn't speak any more.

Cheng Muqing didn't know what to say, Lin Heng was completely in a withdrawn mode.

The silence made time slow down, and the two of them walked for a long time before arriving at the capital.

Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

Seeing my aunt come back, the servants opened the door with discernment.

Several young servants came forward to lead the horses for the two of them.

Cheng Muqing helped Yuan Zhenzhu out of the carriage, and sent someone to take her to wash, eat something, and then went to see Tao Shi.

Tao Shi was a little surprised at the arrival of the two, and greeted them with Cheng Houye.

In the main hall, the symmetrically placed plum blossoms were replaced by peach blossoms. The peach blossoms are tender and bright, adding a bit of warmth to the solemn room.

Cheng Muqing was like this, and Yuan Zhenzhu was also brought up after explaining the cause and effect of the future.

She ate some porridge and did a little cleaning.The cleanly dressed Yuan Zhenzhu, although still very haggard, has a bit more gentle temperament.

"Miss Yuan."

In the main hall, Dow and Lord Cheng were sitting upright, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Girl?" Yuan Zhenzhu touched her face and suddenly smiled, "Mrs. Cheng, you should call me like you are in your boudoir."

"Sister." Tao said, his face still cold, "From now on, you can rest here."

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here? Don't you want me to be handed over? I'm such a living person, I actually... escaped during the house raid..." Yuan Zhenzhu suddenly laughed, and when she smiled, her dark face crawled. Wrinkled.

He is obviously only two years younger than himself, yet he is living such a vicissitudes of life now.Tao couldn't help clenching his fists in his sleeves, "Sister, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

"Why are you still so rational? Don't you have any curiosity at all?" Yuan Zhenzhu stood up, took two staggered steps, and then walked to her side, "You haven't changed a bit over the years, you are still as steady as you were then."

"I will change too." Tao stood up and patted her on the back lightly, "It's good that you are alive, at least the Yuan family still has a living."

Yuan Guogong rebelled and implicated the nine clans.

Hundreds of members of the Yuan family were brought to the execution ground one by one, and beheaded one after another...

The slaves in the family were exiled, and all the slaves rushed into the Jiaofang Division...

"Sister Han..." Yuan Zhuzhu grabbed her shirt little by little, tears rolling down her face, "The Yuan family... is gone! What's the use of keeping me alive!"

"It's useful. Since you are alive, your ancestors must have spirits. I want you to witness the day when the Yuan family was rehabilitated." Tao's voice softened, as if coaxing a child.

"I won't... this was done by Emperor Ming of Jin! He was afraid that our Yuan family... was afraid that we would usurp the throne. My father has assisted him for 20 years! 20 years! He has already become a scholar, why would he still... want……"

Cheng Muqing subconsciously looked around, only to remember that Dow had pushed back all the servants in the house just now.She pressed her temples, and this time, she saved an incredible person.

This is the daughter of a criminal minister, logically speaking, she shouldn't live in this world.

If I'm not mistaken, she is the person that Dali Temple Cheng visits every month.

What is her relationship with Dali Temple?

Between men and women... Cheng Muqing chuckled, so there are only lovers, right?

On the other side, Dow calmed down for a long time before Yuan Zhenzhu's mood stabilized.She is weak now, and she speaks feebly.

"Sister Han, do you believe my brother?" Yuan Zhenzhu stared at her and held her hand tightly.

"Well." Tao nodded, "He is cautious, and I have always believed that he would not do this. But you have to understand that it is one thing for me to believe, and another thing for me to act. The Tao family, Cheng It is impossible for the family to oppose the emperor."

"I understand." Yuan Zhenzhu nodded, "Just trust him."

Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, he always felt that there was a hint of gossip here?
"Miss Cheng." Yuan Zhenzhu turned her gaze to her, "How did you find me? Did you follow the line of Dali Temple Cheng?"

There was a trace of speculation in her eyes.

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded.

"Then you must be able to guess the relationship between me and Dali Sicheng, right?" Yuan Zhenzhu smiled, "Yes, that's right, I am his concubine."

Cheng Muqing licked her lips, she didn't expect her to confess so thoroughly.

"Don't be surprised. When I was young... I was attracted to a young man like him." Yuan Zhenzhu looked at Tao Shi, "I am different from your mother. Your mother's marriage depends on her background and family background. I... only look at people, I liked him when I was young, so I often met with her privately. Unexpectedly, he was just using me... Heh~ using me..."

 Yuan Zhenzhu: You have grown up.

  Cheng Muqing: How do you know me?
  Yuan Zhenzhu: Because, you look too much like my brother's love rival!
