Chapter 56:

After Jin Gong left, Ye Ping looked through the account books again, and became more and more curious about the mother-in-law who had no chance to meet. She did the calculations in her head, so she could see very quickly.

Sanxi saw her frowning and thinking for a while, and saw her flipping page by page, and thought she couldn't understand the account book, so she comforted her: "Princess Princess, why don't you read it, you can't understand it either. It's better to go through it." Return it to Jin Gong in two days, I guess she would not dare to fool you and the county king."

Ye Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her face was serious, "You're right, I'll just go back in two days."

The master and the servant cleaned up and went out.

When he reached the gate of Xueyuan, he saw a woman in blue dress coming out. This woman has a beautiful face and a light body. If it wasn't for that face similar to Wen Ruqin's, Ye Ping would never have guessed that she would be Wen Ruqin's biological mother.

Aunt Qing saluted and left beautifully.

Ye Ping was startled by her appearance, and thought that Consort Wen had only had this concubine since the eldest princess left, so she probably loved her very much. As a time traveler, she felt sorry for the eldest princess.

Putting aside complicated thoughts, he entered the yard.

Wen Ruqin was already looking forward to it. Two days after her second sister-in-law got married, she hadn't said a word to her second sister-in-law yet. Seeing Ye Ping approaching, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

After welcoming him into the door, he looked at Ye Ping with concern with a pair of beautiful eyes. Seeing that Ye Ping was a little out of spirits, there was a bit of worry in his eyes.

"Second sister-in-law, are you... very tired?"

Ye Ping leaned against her, "Very tired, I'm almost exhausted."

Wen Ruqin looked like she wanted to hug her but didn't dare, thinking that the second elder brother didn't like to be served by others, so he must have troubled the second sister-in-law with everything, and the second sister-in-law must be very tired.

"Then what should we do? My second elder brother doesn't like to be served by others, so I'm afraid you will be troubled in the future."

Ye Ping sighed faintly, but she was going to be troubled.

The aunt and sister-in-law were talking, chatting about homework. It's nothing more than the people and things in the Duke's Mansion, and some things in the Princess Mansion. No need for Ye Ping to ask more, Wen Ruqin wished to tell everything she knew.

When it comes to Jin Gong people, she obviously respects them.

"Father and second elder brother both value Gong Ren very much. Gong Ren doesn't like to move around, and she is a bit difficult to get close to, but I have seen her not a difficult person to get along with over the years. Second sister-in-law, if you use her, you want to come to her Also willing."

Ye Ping agrees with this point, Jin Gong people probably don't like her, but they don't make things difficult for her, and they are quite straightforward. If you switch to someone with a lot of heart, you may not agree so simply.

"I'm not proficient in those things, and she's used to it, so it's best to leave it to her." Ye Ping said, touching Wen Ruqin's smooth face. "It's enough for me to watch the Duke and Xueniang every day."

Wen Ruqin blushed, her beautiful eyes sparkled.

The two talked and laughed, and had dinner together.

It was getting dark, and Wen Yu hadn't come back yet.

Ye Ping was full and drowsy, and Lai and Wen Ruqin didn't want to move at all. Xiangxiang Ruanruan's younger sister is so cute, she doesn't want to face her brother's torture again.

She closed her eyes and joked that she would not leave today and would sleep here.

Wen Ruqin was surprised at first, and then overjoyed that she took it seriously.

"...Is this okay? Will the second brother be angry?"

Love to be angry or not, Ye Ping wants to go on strike today. With the thought of going on strike, the more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes. Simply pretending to be a real act, like raving, "Your second brother doesn't like to be in contact with people, maybe he also wishes that I would not come home at night."

When Wen Ruqin thought about it, she was right. The second brother has a cold temper, and he would rather be alone. So he happily prepared, excitedly looking forward to sharing the same bed with Ye Ping.

The boudoir of a girl from an aristocratic family is elegant everywhere. Yishui huanghuali furniture, carved windows and painted beams, red curtains and flower beds. The four-color screen is embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the five-stringed guqin is engraved with magpies climbing branches.

The orchid fragrance curls up, soothing and pleasant.

The two kept laughing, Xu Shi saw that Ye Ping showed no embarrassment, and Wen Ruqin gradually let go. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were lying side by side. Ye Ping was hugging and making noise at first, but fell asleep after a while.

Wen Ruqin was still thinking about the night talk between the two of them in the same bed, who didn't know that the second sister-in-law fell asleep so fast, and then thought that the second sister-in-law must be extremely tired these days, and felt a little distressed. She was always fresh and excited, unable to fall asleep until there was movement in the yard.

Today is Hongsang's night vigil, as soon as she heard the report from the mother-in-law from the outer courtyard, she quickly got up and woke up her own girl.

"Girl, the king of the county is here, saying he is here to pick up the princess of the county.

Wen Ruqin was startled and hurriedly sat up. Seeing that Ye Ping was sleeping soundly inside, he didn't know whether to wake her up or not. "Second sister-in-law is asleep."

"Why not wake up the princess?" Hong Sang hesitated.

"Second sister-in-law must be tired, I...I'll go talk to second brother." Wen Ruqin strengthened her courage, got dressed and went out.

The night is quiet and quiet, as cool as water.

Wen Yu stood in the yard, still wearing the official uniform when he went out. His expression is solemn and his imposing manner is cold, like a knife hiding its edge, and a sword concentrating its brilliance, making people fearful for no reason.

Wen Ruqin used to be most afraid of this second brother, if it wasn't for the recent easing of the relationship, she would not dare to make her own claims. Her calves trembled a little, and her voice trembled too.

"Second...Second brother, the second sister-in-law is asleep."

"Um."

"Do you want to wake up?"

"Need not."

Wen Ruqin thought that Wen Yu meant not to wake Ye Ping up, and then she thought that the second elder brother would be considerate, but she didn't want Wen Yu to stride forward and enter the room.

She was startled, and hesitated whether to follow. While hesitating, Wen Yu came out, holding Ye Ping who was still sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt.

Brother, this is...

Wen Yu suddenly looked over with cold eyes.

She was so shocked that her heart felt cold and her whole body was cold.

Why does the second brother look at her like this? Did she do something wrong?

Wen Yuren is tall and has long legs, and he has left the snow garden not long after.

Wen Ruqin stood there for a long time, unable to recover for a long time.

"Hongsang, have you noticed that the second brother has changed a lot?"

Hong Sang thought, is it still necessary to find out?

"Sincere sincerity is as good as gold and stone. The king of the county should like the concubine of the county."

"But... the second brother seemed to be blaming me just now."

Hong Sang hesitated to speak, because when the girl stayed overnight with the princess of the county, she felt it was inappropriate.

"Maybe... Xuyue doesn't want the county princess to sleep elsewhere."

Wen Ruqin let out a low "ah", as if she understood something.

…

Ye Ping had a bright night, and when she woke up, she was in a daze. She clearly remembered that she slept with Xue Niang, so why did Wen Yu become the person next to her when she opened her eyes?

While dressing and changing, she quietly asked Sanxi. The answer he got was that Wen Yu carried him back from Xue Niang's room while sleeping, and he didn't know whether to be ashamed or embarrassed.

After finishing makeup and hair, she secretly glanced at the man who was already fully dressed.

Purple clothes and golden crowns, gorgeous and cool. The posture is like a lonely pine and independent, and it looks like a jade mountain is about to collapse. Those eyes that were as cold as an abyss encompassed the vastness of the world, boundless and bottomless.

Should not be angry.

It's just too late to chat, and we are resting in Xueniang's room. It's not like going out and not returning, sleeping in someone else's house. Since this man hugged him back, he hadn't woken her up yet, so he didn't think he would care about this matter.

She felt a little relieved when she thought about it.

Today is the fourth day, the husband and wife are going back to Ye's house.

The home gifts in Guining were all prepared by Jin Gong people. Four colors of fresh fruits, six kinds of snacks, eight kinds of tributes, ten bolts of silk, etc. were taken as even numbers, which were called pairs. A golden pheasant with dragon scales in the middle is majestic, with a red crown and black tail holding its head high, implying auspiciousness and happiness.

The four-wheel-drive carriage led the way, followed by three carts back to the door. The guards on the left and right accompanied, followed by the girl and mother-in-law. A group of people went straight to the south of the city.

Wen Yu is the rank of the county king, and the carriage is extremely luxurious. The top is embellished with bright yellow tassels, the bottom is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the emblem of the Princess Mansion is in the middle. Wherever they pass, everyone avoids them. After leaving a message, the people talked about it. It's nothing more than the unexpectedness of this marriage and Ye Ping's good luck.

Ye Ping slept well last night and was in great spirits.

Seeing that she looked good, the Ye family were all relieved. Seeing her standing with Wen Yu again, they have a fairy appearance and a beautiful appearance, they really complement each other.

Ye's eyes were dazzled by the beauty of this pair of Bi people, and moisture appeared in his eyes. Think back to when Pingniang fell in love with the county king and did such shocking things, which caused so many rumors, slander and abuse.

The young girl Chungui loves to dream, and she likes the flowers on the branches and the moon. God must have pity on Pingniang who became obsessed with love, so that she got her wish and finally got married with her sweetheart.

When Weng's son-in-law saw the ceremony, Wen Yu still called Ye Geng Master Ye. Although Ye Geng felt a little disappointed, he also felt that it was reasonable. The status of the county king is outstanding, if he is really called father-in-law, he will feel uncomfortable.

Ye Ping was thoughtful, thinking that the county prince who had lived two lifetimes would not be able to pass the test in his heart. It is impossible to call someone who is one year younger than his actual age father-in-law.

Ye Geng is Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye is naturally Mrs. Ye, and Mrs. Ye is Mrs. Ye. Ye Ting, Ye Lian and Ye Zheng followed suit, respectfully greeted Wen Yu, and called him the Prince of the County.

"Just call brother-in-law." Wen Yu said as usual.

This confused the Ye family.

The three siblings looked at Ye Ping, asking for help.

Ye Ping said, "Call me brother-in-law."

The three of them called their brother-in-law again.

After complete etiquette, Ye Geng accompanied Wen Yu to talk in the main room.

Ye Ping followed Mrs. Ye into the room. Mrs. Ye first asked her how Wen Yu treated her, and she replied that she was very good. After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Ye blushed, before asking if they had consummated the house.

"It's round."

Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and his face turned even redder. "In that boudoir, is the county king gentle and considerate?"

Ye Ping sighed inwardly, how could it be possible to be considerate. She was also embarrassed to say that Wen Yu was too brave and invincible between the beds, and she couldn't stand it.

After thinking about it, he said, "It's okay."

Seeing her daughter's ruddy complexion, Mrs. Ye did not suspect him.

After a while, Mother Ye and Ye Ting came in.

Ye Ping smiled and said that she would pick up Ye Ting after a while and stay there for a few days, then go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to give Ye Ting a pulse and prescribe prescriptions to recuperate her body.

When several people heard this, they were both surprised and delighted.

Ye Ting didn't expect that the elder sister still remembered this matter.

With red eyes, she said: "Elder Sister, my body is fine. You haven't established a firm foothold in the Princess Mansion yet, if you rashly pick me up for a short stay, I'm afraid someone will gossip about it."

"I am the mistress of the house, who dares to gossip."

"Having said that, it's better to be cautious. It's better to wait a little longer until you get everything in order in the mansion before picking up your sister." Ye said.

"Don't wait, I know it."

Ye Ping insisted that the three of them should be left to her.

A daughter of the Ye family married into a noble family, and the whole family was followed by others. In recent days, even Mother Ye, who doesn't go out much on weekdays, can feel it.

Mrs. Ye personally went to Chang Mansion and Liu Mansion yesterday to thank the two families for their support on the wedding day. She went to Liu's Mansion first, and learned that the girl from the Liu family and Mr. Xie's family were already engaged. After going to Chang's mansion, Mrs. Chang actually mentioned General Fuyuan's mansion, as if she intended to protect Tingniang as a matchmaker.

General Fuyuan has only one son, Song Jinyuan.

Mrs. Chang is full of praise for Ye Ping and sisters, and she has intended to protect their matchmaking for them before. Now that Ye Ping married into the princess mansion, the status of the Ye family was raised all of a sudden. The Song family only handed over the word, and she felt that this marriage was very good. The Song family's family style is clean and upright, and the man keeps himself clean. The only shortcoming is that the population is thin. It just so happens that the daughter of the Ye family may have twins, if the second daughter of the Ye family marries and has two children in one fell swoop, it would be perfect.

Ye's heart was beating so hard that he almost lost his composure. After all, there is still reason, and I have to reserve my willingness to go home and discuss with my husband.

She talked with Mrs. Chang for a long time, and Mrs. Chang could also see her thoughts. Seeing that she was quite moved, she naturally talked about the Song family.

Master Song had helped them, and she had a very good impression of the commander of the Jingwu Guard. She didn't even dare to think about a family like the General's Mansion before, and after all, it was all thanks to Pingniang. If it wasn't for Pingniang marrying the county king, how could the Song family have intentionally married Tingniang.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Ping immediately frowned.

No wonder I haven't heard any news about the engagement of the Song and Liu families recently. It turns out that the marriage is not good. It's a good thing that the marriage has turned bad, and Liu Jingya should be able to escape the bad luck of her previous life. It's just that why did Tingniang get involved?

Ye Ping was full of thoughts, and there was no trace of joy on her face.

Ye Shi was originally full of joy, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this marriage was suitable. Firstly, the family rules of the general's mansion are strict, and there are no concubines for three generations. The second reason is that Mr. Song and the Duke of the County have a good relationship, and in the future Pingniang and Tingniang will be able to move around frequently.

"Pingniang, what do you think of this marriage?"

Ye Ping glanced at her younger sister. Ye Ting blushed when she heard her mother mention her marriage, but she turned pale again when she saw the expression of her elder sister.

"I'm afraid there is something wrong with this marriage."

"What's wrong?" It was Mother Ye who asked. The general's mansion practiced martial arts from top to bottom, and she felt that it was very suitable for Tingniang to marry him.

"It's not because of Mr. Song's character, but because I heard Miss Liu mentioned before that it seems that the Liu family and the Song family intend to get married. Why did the Liu family abandon the Song family and choose the Xie family? Did mother inquire about the inside story?"

Mrs. Ye shook her head, she only heard Mrs. Liu say that she was engaged to the Xie family, but she didn't know that the Liu family had also discussed marriage with the Song family. With a family background like the Song family, it is reasonable to say that the Liu family cannot change midway, maybe there is something inside as Pingniang said.

"Then how about I send someone to inquire about it?"

"No need." Ye Ping said, "I'll let the county prince ask."

"Is this... is this appropriate?" Mrs. Ye was worried.

"suitable."

Ye Ping didn't ask Wen Yu to ask why the Liu and Song families didn't get married at all, she wanted Wen Yu to dissuade Song Jinyuan, and she would not let Tingniang marry into the Song family no matter what.

On the way back, she directly told Wen Yu about it.

Wen Yu said that the reason why the Song and Liu families failed to get married was because the Liu family went to ask about divination. The hexagrams show that this marriage has a serious omen, which may endanger Liu Jingya's life. The Liu family didn't believe it at first, and they went to several temples to inquire about it, but it turned out to be the same hexagram.

Ye Ping frowned and thought carefully. If the hexagrams are so accurate, wouldn't everyone know what will happen next and avoid danger? A trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask anything.

"Miss Liu, a healthy and cheerful person, will die of illness if she marries into the Song family, not to mention my Tingniang. This marriage is definitely not acceptable. Please ask the county king to find an opportunity to dissuade Mr. Song."

Wen Yu let out a "hmm".

Ye Ping still looked sad, she had a vague guess. Could it be because I reminded Liu Jingya that the Liu family asked for divination? So it was precisely because of his meddling that this marriage fell on Tingniang.

Song Jinyuan died two wives one after another, is it artificial or a coincidence?

"Why did Master Song's two wives both die of illness?"

"Not just two, but three."

"Three?"

Is it really a wife?

Ye Ping was shocked.

"All three died of illness?"

"yes."

That's weird.

Ye Ping had never met the other two, but she had met Liu Jingya. Liu Jingya has a lively personality and is a martial arts practitioner. It doesn't look like she will live less than three years.

"You didn't suspect it?"

"Checked, nothing unusual."

Since Wen Yu said that he had checked, it proved that Song Jinyuan's wives did die of illness, not that Song Jinyuan had a tendency to violence. That's even more strange. The Song family has been thin since the generation of Song Jinyuan's grandfather. General Song is an only son and doesn't even have a sister. The same is true for Song Jinyuan.

Ye Ping thought, no matter what, Tingniang couldn't marry her.

At this time, Shen time has passed, and the sun is getting westward. The carriage was fast and steady. There was no pause or congestion in the middle from the south of the city to the north of the city. It stopped at the gate of the Princess Mansion in about half an hour.

The husband and wife had to change their clothes and freshen up again, and Ye Ping came out first.

Thinking about something on her mind, she leaned against the window couch and picked up an account book. Flipping aimlessly, eyes on the account book, but my heart didn't know where it flew.

When Wen Yu came out, what he saw was her lazy and boring appearance.

The peach-colored wrap belt jacket is loose but not revealing. The black hair is like a waterfall, scattered randomly on the back of the head and on the chest. The bright-colored little face without makeup is as translucent as jade. A pair of watery eyes looked at the account book in his hand unfocusedly with a little thought in his confusion.

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

Ye Ping let out an "ah" and was taken aback.

"No."

Wen Yu walked towards her, carrying the moisture after bathing.

The confusion in her eyes was even worse, she didn't know if she had unresolved doubts or was fascinated by the beauty in front of her eyes. His expression became more and more dazed, confused and ignorant.

In the confusion, Wen Yu was already standing behind her. The slender body leaned forward, as if embracing her in his arms.

"Actually, there is a simpler calculation method for this kind of account book. If you want to learn, I can teach you." His voice was extremely low and deep, like a guqin.

"I know."

"you know?"

Ye Ping's heart trembled like a rabbit, her eyelashes fluttered like a feather fan, and she slowly raised her eyes to look at the person close at hand. "In our area, this method of keeping accounts is a household name."

Wen Yu's eyes suddenly darkened, and the situation gathered in an instant.
