Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 158 Letter of Peace
After Qiu Hong left, Ye Jingzhao ordered Hong Zao.

Find some reliable people to send Qiuhong's parents out of Kyoto.

The farther the gift is, the better. It would be best to find a remote mountain village and give the local villagers some money so that Qiuhong's parents cannot escape. It would be safest.

If you can't find such a suitable village.

Then send people far away.

Since they didn't have enough money, they naturally had no way to return to Kyoto.

In this way, it can be regarded as following Qiu Hong's thoughts.

Tian Erniang has learned the rules from Mama Wang.

On this day, the person sent by Mrs. Ye San to inquire about the news came to write a letter.

There is no girl named Tian Erniang in Fu'an County.

There are no parents, brothers or sisters as described by Tian Erniang.

Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie, called her daughter over to talk and told her daughter the news in detail.

"Zhaozhao, my second mother has a strange background and has lied to you. Why don't you give her some money and send her out of the house."

Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie, no matter how kind-hearted she is, does not want to keep Tian Erniang here now.

"Mother, let me test Er Niang first."

"Zhaozhao, there are some things where you should not be too kind. If you are too kind, you may be taken advantage of by others."

The third lady, Xie Shi, warned her daughter earnestly.

"Don't worry, mother, your daughter knows what's going on."

After leaving his mother's home, Ye Jingzhao was not in a hurry to call Tian Erniang over to talk.

Instead, let Hongzao go and explore Tian Erniang's tone first.

During these days, Tian Erniang and Hong Zao stayed together.

There is nothing wrong with it.

Hong Zao also likes Er Niang very much because she has a good temper and often rushes to do work.

How can it bore people.

It's just that Hongzao hasn't come back to deliver the message yet.

Xiangluo came in from outside, looking a little hurried.

As soon as she entered the house, Xiangluo turned around and closed the door.

Ye Jingzhao was sitting on the soft couch and taking a nap.

I heard footsteps coming from outside.

Looking up, I saw Xiang Luo like this.

Feeling suspicious, he slowly stood up and moved his body to sit upright.

Xiangluo came closer and bowed, "Fourth Miss, the old lady at the back door said someone sent a letter to Fourth Miss."

Just now, Xiangluo passed by the back door of the uncle's house specially opened for the third bedroom.

The gatekeeper stopped her and handed her the letter.

Ye Jingzhao took the envelope from Xiang Luo.

I saw that the envelope was intact.

It looked like it hadn't been opened.

"The lady on the back door said nothing about the other things."

she asked as she opened the envelope in her hand.

Xiangluo shook her head, "The woman at the back door only said that a little beggar brought it today."

"Xiangluo, go and call Hongzao."

Xiangluo respectfully stepped back.

There was no one else in the house.

Ye Jingzhao then carefully looked at the contents on the envelope.

I was shocked.

This letter was actually sent by Xue Miaoyue.

She came to report that he was safe and told her not to worry.

The other things were never mentioned in the letter, not even the address where Xue Miaoyue currently stayed, but she never mentioned it to her.

See Xue Miaoyue is safe now.

Ye Jingzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The handwriting in the letter belonged to Xue Miaoyue, who had lived with him for a while before.

Of course she can recognize it at a glance.

And the other things were not mentioned in the letter.

She put the envelope back away.

Carefully hidden in the bookshelf.

At this time, the door was pushed open.

Hongzao walked in, walked up to Miss Fourth and bowed.

Just about to report back.

Ye Jingzhao raised his hand to stop him, "Don't worry, take the money first and go to the mother-in-law at the back door to sort it out. Today, the mother-in-law at the back door sent me a safe letter for Miss Xue."

Hong Zao's pupils shrank.

I was particularly shocked because Miss Xue finally had news.It was not in vain that Miss Fourth had been worrying about her for quite some time.

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Hong Zao took two taels of silver and went to the big kitchen to prepare some braised beef and sent it to the back door.

Two women at the back door.

On weekdays, I would quietly receive some bribes from the third room from time to time.

Now when I talk to the old lady, I tell half the story and hide the other half.

Collect money from people to do things for them.

This kind of person is the easiest to handle.

The woman at the back door smiled apologetically and pretended to decline the food and money brought by Hong Zao.

He said a lot of compliments again.

After finishing the work, Hong Zao returned to Zhiting Garden.

Only then did he and the fourth lady report back to Er Niang.

"Fourth young lady, I'm looking at you, your mother-in-law is not like a girl from an ordinary family. But if you think she has the intention to harm others, I'm looking at you, your mother-in-law is not that kind of person."

Hong Zao spoke frankly about her thoughts.

After all, Tian Erniang now lives with him.

Ye Jingzhao nodded lightly.

"However, the people my mother sent out to investigate said that there is no such person as Tian Erniang in Fu'an County."

Hongzao frowned tightly, looking like she was thinking about something but couldn't think of anything.

Why did Tian Erniang lie about her life experience?

Finally, he spoke hesitantly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"Could it be that Er Niang has something to hide and doesn't want others to know her origins..."

The more he talked about it, the more Hongzao himself lost his confidence.

If so.

Could it be that she had committed something in her hometown and came out to escape.

In this way, wouldn't it implicate the fourth lady?

With this thought, Hong Zao's heart was full of panic, and his expression became nervous.

He quickly added, "Fourth Miss, why not send Er Niang out."

Then I thought about it, although Tian Erniang had signed a deed of betrayal with the uncle, she had not sent it to the government, and the name was still fake.

Nature does not count.

"Hongzao, go find Er Niang and tell her that I have something to ask her."

Hongzao was still a little worried. Seeing that Miss Fourth was resolute, she had no choice but to go find Tian Erniang.

But the fourth lady said she wanted to talk to Tian Erniang alone.

Don't ask her to wait on you.

Hongzao's little face fell down, with grievances written all over it.

As usual, the fourth lady would be soft-hearted and accede to her wishes.

Today, the fourth lady's attitude is extremely firm. She has no choice.

I had no choice but to do the next best thing and go to guard the door.

When Tian Erniang saw the door being closed, her heart sank.

His face also looked a little heavy.

"Tian Erniang, I called you here today. I have something to ask you."

Tian Erniang then moved her steps and stepped forward.

A salute.

"You sit down first."

Tian Erniang refused, shook her head, and stood quietly in the main room.

Quietly waiting for the unknown that is about to be faced.

Today, the fourth lady suddenly called her over and closed the door so that no one else would be waiting in front of her.

In her mind, she had already made some guesses.

I hold on to the remaining illusion in my heart, hoping that my worries are just unnecessary.

"Tian Erniang, I want to know where you are from."

Ye Jingzhao opened his mouth.

The last trace of fantasy left in Tian Erniang's heart was completely extinguished.

She suddenly raised her head and met the fourth lady's scrutinizing eyes.

I know it in my heart, and the fourth lady is probably already aware of it.

She dropped to her knees suddenly.

There was still no trace of panic on his face.

He was still as calm as when we first met him that day.

"Fourth Miss, I didn't lie to you. I'm really from Fu'an County."
