farmer's wife

Chapter 131
Yuanjing, the capital of the Li Dynasty, is also a prosperous and prosperous capital that everyone yearns for.

Duke of Courage.

"You guys wait outside." Eldest Princess Min Le took the maid's food box.

"Yes."

Duke Yongyi's study is an important place, and he is not allowed to enter and leave at will.

She pushed open the door of the study: "Brother Zhuo?"

There was only a small oil lamp on the desk, and it flickered on and off, engulfing Ye Zhuo's entire body in the darkness.

Qi Tong frowned, what do these little servants who take care of the master's study do?
The light is so dim, it hurts Zhuo's eyes to read the paperwork.

Qi Tong put down the food box, ready to light all the lamps in the room.

"Tongtong, don't." Ye Zhuo stopped her with a rough and deep voice.

"Brother Zhuo, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat!" Qi Tong only lit the glass lamp on the table.

The soft light made Ye Zhuo's expression nowhere to hide.

Ye Zhuo is eight feet tall, with a beautiful beard and eyesight. Even though he is in his early forties, the years have only polished the bloody sharpness on this man's body to a smoother shape, like a sword in its sheath but not exposed.

However, at this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who was used to being peaceful and stable in the court, was sitting alone in this study with red eyes.

Qi Tong put down the food box he was opening, came to his side, and said solemnly: "What happened."

Ye Zhuo handed her a note in his hand.

Qi Tong took it and opened it.

On the note was a letter sent back by Uncle Wu, which briefly and clearly described the results of this investigation and what happened to the Xiao family and Yupei, and also recorded Ye Jin's life experiences one by one.

Regarding Ye Jin's death, they had already been prepared for it.After all, she is a 16-year-old girl who grew up in the inner house.

But when he received the confirmed news, Qi Tong's heart was still heavy.

She has seen Ye Zhuo's concern for his sister for the past three years.

Qi Tong sighed secretly: "Brother Zhuo, think about the peaceful life that Ah Jin survived for more than ten years and had two sons. It must be a comfortable life."

"It's not your fault, nor Ah Jin's fault, it's just God's will."

A cold light flashed in Ye Zhuo's eyes.

Do not!
This is not God's will to trick people, it's the villain's troubles.

Even if there is no evidence, he can guess the shallow thoughts of Uncle Changping's wife Xu Di.

It's nothing more than seeing that he has a bright future, and he is afraid that he will threaten her worthless son, so he wants to marry Ah Jin to his natal nephew first, so as to restrict him.

From those old people in the uncle's mansion, I learned that there is no brother and mother in the mansion to protect each other, and Ah Jin was treated harshly by his aunt and younger siblings a lot.

Even so, she endured it for several years, waiting for her brother to return to Beijing.

A Jin Xiuwai Huizhong, who could bear it for so long but finally chose to escape from the mansion, must have sensed something, even if it hurts him, he definitely doesn't want to be his weakness.

That silly sister!
Ye Zhuo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth secretly.

No evidence?innocent?

Just wait, one by one, no one can run away.

Anyone who contributed to the flames back then had to pay the price for his sister.

After being silent for a while, Qi Tong reopened the food box: "Hurry up and have dinner while it's hot. There's still morning tomorrow."

"You still think you are a young boy? Take care of yourself, we still have to wait for Ah Jin's child to come to the capital."

Thinking of the content on the note, Qi Tong has already made arrangements: "Xiao Jian is not much different from our Brother Ze, and we can study together at that time. I want to meet Xiao Lie's wife and little girl..."

Hearing her detailed arrangements, Ye Zhuo's expression also softened.

"Then I have to trouble Tongtong to prepare these."

……

**
Another year of Qingming, the pattering rain soaked the wicker in early spring.

After feeding Nuonuo, Fu Yan handed the child over to Granny Shi to take care of her.

Fu Yan: "Grandma Shi, let's go back to the village and we will be back before noon. Brother Alie has already rented a carriage yesterday. After noon, you all go back to worship."

"Ma'am..." Granny Shi held Nuo Nuo in her arms, smothering a thousand words in her mouth.

She was extremely grateful to be able to go back to her hometown to take care of the funeral last year.

Unexpectedly, this year's Qingming Festival, the wife will allow them to go back to worship their relatives.

Fu Yan said gently: "We are all a family, let's not speak nonsense."

An old house where a treasure.

Granny Shi helped her take care of the children a lot.

Even though she has been exposed to it a lot, it is the first time to give birth to children bit by bit.

If Grandma Shi wasn't there to guide and take care of her, Nuomuo probably wouldn't be able to grow up in peace.

Not to mention that the three members of the Shi family have helped a lot at home.

It is human nature to pay homage to deceased relatives during the Qingming Festival.

Their family is not a big family that pays attention to class dignity.

She can still decide this matter.

Granny Shi closed her eyes and suppressed the gratitude in her heart. She sighed countless times that the three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, could meet the wife's family.

She smiled and said to Fu Yan: "Ma'am, just go there, we will take care of Nuo Nuo in the shop."

Fu Yan touched Nuo Nuo's sleeping face again, and left reluctantly.

Uncle Wu's carriage was already waiting outside the courtyard.

Ye An has fallen in love with the pastries from Fufu Dessert Shop since he tried them.

He also counted the silver taels he carried with him on this trip.Before leaving, I must buy more pastries and go back to Beijing.As for the purchase limit in the store?

Hehehe...

So as soon as Xiao Lie and Fu Yan came out, Ye An greeted them warmly: "Master Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, Young Master Xiao. Come on, step on this stool, be careful."

"You don't need to call us young master and madam, just call us by our first names."

Xiao Lie couldn't get used to it, so he didn't need to reach out, he helped Fu Yan and Xiao Jian get into the carriage first.

Ye An was not embarrassed to withdraw his hand, he waited aside and said, "Don't dare. You are the cousin of our family!" You have already confirmed your identity, so you can't call him casually.

"Don't worry, I, Ye An, will drive steadily. You can rest for a while, and I will be there soon." Ye An patted his chest and offered hospitality.

Xiao Lie had no choice but to change his words. He smiled and thanked the energetic Ye An, and also entered the carriage.

Uncle Wu spoke in time, stopping Ye An's enthusiasm: "Ye An?! Go and drive."

"Okay, Uncle Wu. Let's go now."

The horseshoe "da da" brought everyone to Anping Village.

At the foot of the hillside, yellow paper money was already floating across the road.

Xiao Lie led Fu Yan, Xiao Jian and Wu Shu up the stairs.

As in previous years.

Grandma's grave has been cleared, and there are a few crooked fruits.

Xiao Lie, Fu Yan and Xiao Jian finished kowtowing together, and then returned to their parents.

Seeing the desolation here, Uncle Wu frowned secretly.

It seems that the news of the discord between the two families of the Xiao family in the village is true.

Xiao Lie squatted down and pulled out the weeds first.Wait for Fu Yan to arrange the sacrifices brought from home.

He first knelt down and kowtowed, then walked aside to burn paper, and whispered to his mother what Uncle Wu had come to look for.
