Noble Lady Jing Zhao

"Wherever she went, who did she meet?"

Ye Jingzhao asked.

Hongzao stepped forward and replied, "Xiangruo actually went to the second room, but did not go in. The servant saw Aunt Tian coming out to discredit her. After that, the two found a secluded place and talked for a long time."

"Although I didn't hear it clearly, I still heard Xiangruo and Aunt Tian crying."

Hong Zao carefully reported back what he saw and heard.

Ye Jingzhao frowned.

Then I remembered that Xiangruo's surname was Tian. Could it be that there was some reason why these two people didn't get along.

"Previously, have you ever heard that Xiangruo has any relatives in Kyoto?"

Ye Jingzhao stared at Hongzao and asked.

Hongzao thought for a while and finally shook his head, "During the previous chat, Xiangruo didn't mention any other relatives in Kyoto."

"Fourth Miss, you think the two of them may have known each other before."

Ye Jingzhao nodded lightly, otherwise, how could Xiangruo go directly to the second room to find Aunt Tian.

"Go outside tomorrow and quietly inquire about where Aunt Tian's family in Kyoto is now, and then ask if there are any other relatives."

Ye Jingzhao ordered.

Thinking about this matter, even if Xiangruo is called over.

She wouldn't tell the truth either.

Simply speaking, Aunt Tian is from Kyoto. It is faster to find out the details of the Tian family than to find out the details of Xiangruo.

The next day, Hongzao quietly slipped out of the house.

Ye Jingzhao specially asked Xiang Ruo to come and serve him today.

She didn't ask anything, but quietly watched Xiangruo's expression while Xiangruo was serving tea and pouring water.

On this day, Xiangruo was extra cautious in front of the fourth lady.

Although she didn't raise her eyes to look, she could always feel the vague gaze watching her from behind.

Fortunately, Hongzao was out for two hours.

Finally came back.

Ye Jingzhao sent Xiang Ruo away.

Hong Zao entered the house, closed the door first, then turned and walked towards the house.

Arriving in front of the fourth young lady, she bent down slightly, wanting to salute.

Ye Jingzhao waved his hand, indicating that Hong Zao didn't need to be polite.

"How is it?"

Hongzao stepped forward and reported back to the Fourth Miss all the news she had inquired about today.

"Going back to Fourth Young Lady, Aunt Tian's parents, brothers and younger brothers are all being raised by the second master in a house. The house is guarded by the second master's people, and the servants are not allowed to get close to them."

"However, I also went to Aunt Tian's previous residence and inquired about it with the neighbors."

"I heard from neighbors that the Tian family used to make a living on a few acres of thin farmland outside the city. The Tian family's father and elder brother helped with odd jobs in the restaurant."

"The Tian family is not from Kyoto. Twenty years ago, Tian's father brought his wife to live in Kyoto. I heard that his ancestral home is Fu'an County."

Ye Jingzhao thought to himself after hearing the news Hong Zao brought back.

I'm afraid this will make it right.

If you want to investigate more carefully, you need to go to Fu'an County to investigate Mr. Tian.

She didn't want her mother to worry about it anymore.

He still ordered Hong Zao to secretly find the right person and go to Fu'an County to inquire more carefully.

Red dates should be added.

A few more days passed.

Xiangruo comes to Ye Jingzhao to ask for grace.

She wanted to go out for a day.

The maids in the mansion have four days off every month.

She has been in the uncle's house for a long time and has never taken a day off.

Now that he had opened his mouth today, Ye Jingzhao naturally had no intention of stopping him.

It should be right now.

Now the people sent to Fu'an County to find out the news have not returned yet.

Ye Jingzhao was not worried at all that Xiangruo would run away.

Since she knows Aunt Tian from the second room, she is not afraid.

I didn't take this matter to heart.

However, she still told Hongzao to keep an eye on Xiangruo's actions secretly.

It's just that there is nothing strange about Xiangruo's behavior.

Ye Jingzhao temporarily stopped thinking.

On this day, guests came to Chengen's house.

The person who came to the door was Mr. Chen, the Secretary of the Cabinet, whom Madam Liang mentioned earlier.Today he came to the house with his matchmaker and betrothal gift.

This Mr. Chen came to the uncle's house to marry Ye Jingmiao, the second daughter of the uncle's house.

The old lady invited everyone to meet her guests.

The gentlemen of the uncle's house are not in the house today.

The old lady took several ladies from the uncle's house to greet her personally.

The girls from the uncle's house naturally went to see Li.

This Mr. Chen is wearing a light blue gown, tall and straight, with a fair complexion and a gentle scholarly aura.

His appearance is considered excellent even in Kyoto.

A humble gentleman with good etiquette.

"Today, I have taken the liberty of coming to ask for your hand in marriage. I hope the old lady won't take offense."

Mr. Chen bowed his hands towards the old lady.

What he said was extremely polite and thoughtful.

In fact, the marriage between the two families had already been agreed upon secretly.

That’s why I chose to visit today.

The old lady was satisfied when she saw Master Chen's thorough etiquette.

Smiling and nodding, he motioned for Mr. Chen to sit down and talk.

Several girls from the uncle's house met Mr. Chen and then retreated behind the screen.

Now that Mr. Chen is alone, he has moved into the new mansion given by the emperor.

Nowadays, the house is in need of a matron to take care of things.

He wanted to marry Miss Ye Er back home as soon as possible.

In this way, you don't have to worry about many trivial matters every day when it comes to the back house.

Mr. Chen went to Uncle Chengen's Mansion today.

It was considered extremely smooth.

The elders of the uncle's house were also extremely satisfied with him.

Mr. Chen secretly mentioned his current situation and said that he wanted to get married as soon as possible.

When the concubine of the uncle's house gets married, the etiquette of dowry is naturally not as complicated as that of a direct descendant.

It's good to have some discussion.

The wedding date was set for the sixth day of April.

The divorce period is only two months away.

Ye Jingmiao stood behind the screen, listening to her mother-in-law and Mr. Chen discussing the wedding date.

He lowered his head slightly, feeling a little nervous and confused.

She could only secretly rub the silk handkerchief in her hand.

Her cheeks were hot, and a strange blush appeared on her face.

Just thinking of my aunt.

It's a bit sad after all.

Since childhood, she has never allowed her mother to separate.

Now the days I stay with my aunt are only two months.

Her heart felt empty for a while.

It was as if something had been taken away from his heart.

Madam Liang personally saw Master Chen off.

It can be seen that everyone in the uncle's house is extremely satisfied with Mr. Chen.

Ye Jingzhao followed his mother back to Zhitingyuan.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, mentioned the marriage in the uncle's house, "Before, I always felt that you were all still young. Now, in just one year, all the young ladies in the house are getting married. Time flies so fast."

Ye Jingzhao suddenly remembered that in her previous life, her parents died in the cold winter.

After all, I didn’t survive this New Year.

Naturally, he did not attend the wedding banquet of his brothers and sisters.

Looking back now, my parents are fine.

You can also witness the marriages of the juniors in the mansion.

Ye Jingzhao was in a trance, his previous life seemed like a dream.

Back in the house, Ye Jingzhao was replaced by a maid who came to change his clothes.

"Where's Hongzao? Why didn't I see her?"

Looking at Xiang Yuan and Xiang Luo in front of them, Ye Jingzhao asked.

Xiangyuan replied, "Go back to the Fourth Miss. Sister Hongzao went out just now. I don't know where Sister Hongzao went. I think she will be back soon."
