Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 393

Concubine Xiao thought about it carefully. As the son of the Zhou family, it is impossible for Zhou Yuanning to be short of money, and he has always been indifferent to the family business, and he has never taken the imperial examination. This means that he has no confidence in his future. Very important.

In this way, it can be explained that the relationship between Zhou Yuanning and Ye Cheng is based on friendship, not because of interests.

Concubine Xiao is not stupid, she can see that Zhou Yuanning cares about Ye Cheng very much, otherwise she wouldn't keep her mouth shut and say nothing.

In her opinion, there should be a deep friendship between Zhou Yuanning and Ye Cheng. Since Zhou Yuanning is so sincere to Ye Cheng, Ye Cheng, who has always been affectionate, will not ignore Zhou Yuanning.

Therefore, Concubine Xiao wanted to use the deep love between the two of them to lure Ye Cheng into taking the bait and come over on his own initiative.

"Miss Ling San, I want you to release the news now so that everyone in the town knows that Zhou Yuanning is about to be beheaded because he secretly hid the young prince." Princess Xiao ordered.

Hearing this, Xiao Lanfeng was stunned for a moment, but he soon relaxed. Based on his understanding of Princess Xiao, she knew that Princess Xiao would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

But Shen Yunjin and Zhou Yuanning stared nervously at Princess Xiao, feeling a little uneasy.

Miss Ling San was a little hesitant, "Princess, if Mr. Zhou dies, no one will know the whereabouts of Mr. Xiao."

"Who said I'm going to kill him?" Princess Xiao said displeased.

Miss Ling San was puzzled, "But, you didn't say it yourself just now..."

"Okay, stop talking so much nonsense." Princess Xiao interrupted her, "I just asked you to be responsible for releasing the news, so as to lure the little prince to take the bait, not to really kill him."

When Miss Ling San heard it, she suddenly realized, "The princess is smart, and the daughter of the people understands."

Only then did Shen Yunjin breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhou Yuanning's head was saved for the time being.

But Zhou Yuanning couldn't help becoming worried. He knew Ye Cheng well, and knew that if Ye Cheng found out that he was going to be executed, he would definitely not ignore him.

He was most afraid that Ye Cheng would fall into the trap of himself, so he could only pray in his heart, hoping that Ye Cheng would not know the news.

At this moment, Concubine Xiao said to Zhou Yuanning, "Young Master Zhou, in fact, you still have a very good chance. As long as you are willing to tell me the hiding place of Xiao Shizi, I will grant you a request. You can ask me for it." For official positions, you can also ask for some gold, silver and jewelry, you can choose whatever you want."

Zhou Yuanning shook his head, "Thank you, Princess Wang, for your kindness, but I really don't know the whereabouts of Xiao Shizi."

The more he persisted like this, the more Princess Xiao believed that the relationship between him and Xiao Shizi was very good, so Princess Xiao felt very confident in her strategy.

Concubine Xiao ordered her subordinates, "Take Mr. Zhou and Miss Shen to an empty room and take care of them. You can't let them go until you find Xiao Shizi."

"Yes." The subordinates are about to take away Shen Yunjin and Zhou Yuanning.

At this moment, Xiao Lanfeng stopped her and said, "Wait a minute. Mom, Shen Yunjin has a cold, so she can't be locked up casually, or if her condition gets worse, it will be bad."

Concubine Xiao shook her head, "Until Ye Cheng is found, neither of them can let go."

Xiao Lanfeng replied, "There is no need to let people go, just let Miss Shen go to a separate room to rest and recuperate."

Seeing his insistence, Concubine Xiao agreed, "Fine, you can do whatever you want, but you must send someone to watch, and you can't let him go."

Thus, Shen Yunjin received courtesy and was arranged to live in a room.

And Zhou Yuanning was escorted to another room, under the supervision of special personnel.

After being frightened like this, Shen Yunjin felt that her cold was much better. She sat on the bed and began to think hard, trying to find a way to escape.

She knew that Li Yi must be in a hurry now, but she couldn't go out and report Li Yi's safety, which made her feel even more anxious.

In the evening, Xiao Lanfeng walked into the room where Shen Yunjin was resting, and when he saw him coming, Shen Yunjin was a little nervous.

Xiao Lanfeng smiled and said, "Miss Shen, you don't have to be restrained, I'm here to bring you dinner."

Seeing that he was more friendly, Shen Yunjin asked, "My lord, do you know how Mr. Zhou is doing now? Is he okay?"

Xiao Lanfeng put the food on the table and replied, "You can rest assured, Mr. Zhou is probably having dinner now, my mother and I will not hurt you, you don't have to worry about it."

Shen Yunjin nodded, as long as Zhou Yuanning is safe.

At this time, Xiao Lanfeng couldn't help asking, "Miss Shen cares so much about Mr. Zhou's safety, do you really have no feelings for each other?"

Shen Yunjin felt a little helpless, "Mr. Zhou and I are very good friends, so I care about his safety. As for the affair that Miss Ling San mentioned, it was purely her guesswork. In fact, Mr. Zhou's My sweetheart is someone else, but I can't say it."

After hearing this, Xiao Lanfeng believed her words, "Miss Shen, dinner is here, don't forget to eat it, if you need anything else, just tell the servants at the door."

Shen Yunjin doesn't have any other requests. Now, she only has one wish, which is to let her go back quickly, but she also knows that the servants outside the door will not let her out, so she should just stay there. , and wait and see what happens.

Miss Ling San obeyed Princess Xiao's arrangement, and soon spread the news that Zhou Yuanning was going to be dealt with by Prince Xiao's residence.

After Laifu learned about it, he was shocked. He had no choice but to go to Qingshi Village to inform Yecheng, and let Yecheng think of a solution.

After hearing what Lai Fu said, Ye Cheng felt uneasy, "The people from Prince Xiao's Mansion really came here?"

"Yes, it's Miss Ling San's good deed." Lai Fu said angrily, "This woman is really annoying, she is going to kill my young master."

Ye Cheng sighed, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to him, I'll go and save him."

Lai Fu doubted, "But once you show up, people from Prince Xiao's Mansion will arrest you."

"I can't care about that much anymore, I'll go and have a look first." Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.

No matter how much risk he had to pay, he still wanted to save Zhou Yuanning. He must not watch Zhou Yuanning sacrifice himself for him like this.

Soon, he left Qingshi Village and went to the town.

When he came to the town, the first thing he did was to find Miss Ling San.

at night.

"Where's Mr. Zhou? Hand him over quickly." Ye Cheng broke into Ling's mansion and asked Ling San to hand over Zhou Yuanning.

When Miss Ling San saw him, she said in surprise, "You finally appeared!"
