In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 6
But Sikong Ye slammed her away and strode out.He can belittle her within a certain range, but he won't really have anything to do with her.

The moment he pulled away, Mu Xue clearly saw his thin lips that were straight and straight, as if he was holding back something.

She blinked, smiled suddenly, and tidied up her clothes. This master probably fell into a "sickness" and urgently needed to find a safe place to "heal his wounds".

She leisurely walked to the door, and ordered the maid guarding outside to prepare a snack tea for herself. She found a booklet from somewhere, and leaned on the concubine couch, eating snacks and drinking tea while flipping through the booklet. .

What is recorded in this booklet is about the local conditions and customs of Yecheng. After all, she has been away for a long time, and she was still young when she was here, so she doesn't remember many things.

What's more, she has to withdraw and leave after taking revenge, so she must be fully prepared.

After flipping through a booklet and almost eating snacks, I stood up, threw the booklet away, got up and went outside, the spring is just right, suitable for spring.

When she got up, she heard the sound of pecking on the door, and the servant girl said outside: "Girl, the Young City Master sent someone to bring you something."

Mu Xue responded and walked out, only to see three big boxes neatly placed in the yard.

She stepped down the steps, and the servant girl went over to open the box with a very winking look, Mu Xue's eyes shrank slightly, one of the boxes was full of Yecheng geography.

Yecheng is the largest city in Daxin Kingdom. It is different from other countries. Daxin Kingdom is composed of four big cities. Each city is independent of each other. The city owner is the supreme ruler of a city, the king of Daxin Kingdom The capital where it is located is the smallest of the four cities, so the rule of the imperial power is relatively weak.

Emperor Jing of the current dynasty was very ambitious, and he especially wanted Daxin Kingdom to become a veritable ruler like other neighboring countries, so he had been trying every means to weaken the power of the city lords, but with little success.

Just because the four major cities are not four isolated cities, they also include twelve prefectures under their jurisdiction, each prefecture has twelve prefectures, each prefecture has twelve counties, and each county has twelve townships, Each township contains twelve villages.

This is regulation.

However, according to the size of the region, the division is different. Yecheng ranks first among the four major cities, naturally because it has the most extensive land area under its jurisdiction, the most densely populated, and the most prosperous economy.

The total area of ​​the Twelve Mansions in Yecheng is nearly a thousand miles larger than that of the second-ranked Twelve Mansions in Sucheng.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yecheng is qualified to become an independent country, but the old city owner Sikong does not seem to have this ambition.

In such a large city of Ye, the local conditions and customs are different from place to place, so it is not surprising that there is such a box of books.

The second box contained the resumes of officials at all levels in Yecheng, and it was also full.

The third box contained everything related to the Xiangyang Houfu.

Seeing the third box, Mu Xue's eyes narrowed slightly, and the coldness flickered away.

When he raised his head, there was already a lazy smile on his face, and he directly ordered the servant girl to put the books in the study according to this classification. If the bookshelves were not enough, he would go directly to the young city lord to pay for the money.

She took a book on the establishment of the Xiangyang Houfu to study.

Sikongye left Jinxiudui, feeling dazed for a moment, and soon went to the ruins of Andinghou Mansion.

Since the last time he came here and met Mu Xue by chance, he has designated it as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to come near it.

Although there is no trace of the past here, he still found a place with familiarity, sat down quietly, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, twisted it in his hand, and asked his confidant Gu An: " Are you all ready?"

Gu An bowed and replied, "Yes."

Endless sadness floated on Sikong Ye's originally indifferent face, "You go and arrange for someone to take Miss Lan over. You know how important what happened tonight is." Qingqing has been a lonely ghost for 11 years, and now this Everything is finally coming to an end.

Gu An said in a deep voice: "Young City Master, please rest assured, it is absolutely safe." If the Young City Master can really resurrect Xiao Yunqing, the former daughter of the Andinghou Mansion, will he live a more comfortable life in the future?

Not long after, an army appeared nearby and completely put martial law on the ruins of Andinghou Mansion.

After a while, two well-shielded carriages came in, and all the Taoist priests who looked like immortals got out of the carriages. They quickly removed the things from the carriages and arranged the dojo in an orderly manner.

Sikong Ye just sat there, as if he didn't see anything.

It was getting late, and Lan Kexin, who had already bathed and fasted, came slowly under heavy protection. Because the night wind was relatively cool at night, she was wrapped in a plain white cloak.

Because of the special situation, she didn't have anyone to serve her. After getting off the car, she saw Sikong Ye standing with her hands behind her back in the field. She lifted her skirt with both hands and ran over quickly, but stopped a few steps away Stepping down, she called out in her soft and timid voice: "Brother Ye..."

Sikong Ye frowned, didn't turn around, and said indifferently, "You still haven't learned how to speak?"

A little grievance appeared on Lan Kexin's beautiful face, she let go of her skirt, and touched her throat again, "Brother Ye, Mammy said my voice is innate and cannot be changed..."

Her voice is soft and gentle, even better than the song of an oriole. She has been praised by everyone in the temperament, but for some reason, Sikong Ye just doesn't like her voice, and specially invited someone to teach her how to sing and change her voice. It's a pity. No matter how hard she tried, the voice she made was still delicate.

Sikongye closed his eyes, concealing the disappointment in his pupils, ignored Lan Kexin, and stepped forward to ask the Taoist priest in charge of the dojo: "Immortal Chief, after today's ceremony is over, can the primordial spirit really return to its place?"

The Taoist looked serious, "Young City Master, please rest assured that the poor Taoist has already calculated it strictly, and there will be no mistakes. However, the Young City Master must ensure that this ceremony will not be disturbed, otherwise, any changes may happen .”

Sikong Ye didn't speak, but a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his lips. If anyone dares to destroy this ceremony, there is only one word: death!

He waited for this day for nine full years, how could he allow a little mistake?

It was completely dark, Lan Kexin was a little scared, she wanted to get close to Sikong Ye, but she didn't dare to break the rules, her smiling face became more and more pitiful.

Sikong Ye turned to look at her, his expression suddenly became extremely gentle, but Lan Kexin's heart sank a little, because she knew that although Sikong Ye looked at her, he was actually looking at another person through her.

She had known about this since the time Sikong Ye brought her back nine years ago, her existence was for the appearance of another person.

At that time, she was about to be sold by her parents, so she left with Sikong Ye willingly.

It's just that after a long time, she found that the cold young man of the past and the cold young city master of today have already been firmly engraved in her heart.
