Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 2 Dream

In the evening, Liu Yuping prepared a family dinner.Besides her and Ye Huaicheng's sons and daughters, the second bedroom of Ye's mansion was also there.

Inside the Jiuren Pavilion.

Ye Jinxiao hugged his one-year-old younger brother to make everyone happy. She had a sweet mouth, and even Gu Shi, the second roommate, could be coaxed into a smile by her eyes.

The family is happy.

Liu Yuping looked outside the door, and said with a sad face: "Why hasn't Ling girl come yet? The whole family saw her off. Why is she still late?"

"Could it be that the snowy road is difficult to walk, and I fell?" Ye Jinxiao whispered.

Liu Yuping said brokenly: "You child, can you still miss your big sister? When your big sister comes, you have to talk to people well, maybe they can help the Ye family in the future."

Mrs. Gu of the second bedroom curled her lips and said: "The old lady of the Hou's family in the capital has ignored Song Yun for many years, and she didn't see her come to Yuzhou in person when she passed away, and now she is calling her daughter to be a daughter in the Hou's mansion." Make."

Ye Huaicheng sneered, and echoed, "That's right, the capital is thousands of miles away from Yuzhou, and girl Ling is not in good health. After all, the people in the Hou's mansion are noble, and the eldest daughter of the Ye family can serve them tea and water."

Liu Yuping pretended to sigh deeply: "It can't be helped. Who told Sister Song to be the daughter of Mrs. Shen? It's considered filial piety for Ling girl to serve her in front of Mrs. Shen. My master and I are also embarrassed. reject."

Mrs. Gu said disdainfully: "What kind of daughter is just a adopted daughter who has no blood relationship. The old lady has a serious grandson. Does Ling girl dare to call her grandmother when she goes to the Hou's mansion?"

Liu Yuping said: "Second sister-in-law, don't say that. Mrs. Shen still misses Sister Song. Naturally, she treats her as her own daughter, and she also treats Ling girl as her own granddaughter. We just follow along."

Hearing what his mother said, Ye Jinxiao on the side was not happy, and pouted: "Didn't the eldest sister just go to the Hou's mansion to be a maid, what kind of glory can our Ye family get with her."

"How can you say that about Big Sister!" Liu Yuping pretended to be angry, and secretly glanced at Ye Huaicheng's face, seeing that it was not very good-looking, she boldly added embellishments: "Sister Song is also lucky, she was born in the countryside, but It would be really fatal for Mrs. Shen to accept her as a foster daughter, but someone else would."

Gu rolled her eyes and muttered: "Who knows what tricks she has. When she was here before, she always looked cold when she saw everyone. Those who didn't know thought it was Miss Hou's Mansion."

Ye Huaicheng finally said: "Okay, even if everyone is dead, why are you talking about her? Mommy Qiu, you go to another hospital to find the eldest girl."

"Hey!" Mother Qiu responded, and was about to go out when the warm curtain suddenly opened, and a figure slowly approached the door.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone looked at Ye Lingwu in unison.

I don't know when she was here, and how much she heard, so everyone's faces were a little embarrassed.

The atmosphere was delicate, Liu Yuping laughed dryly, and warmly greeted her, "Come and sit here, girl Ling, look at your child, why did you come here, you are the protagonist of tonight's meal."

Ye Huaicheng's eyes closely followed Ye Lingwu.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and this eldest daughter is becoming more and more beautiful. I see that You Lian looks exactly like her mother in the corners of her brows and eyes. She is obviously beautiful, but it is like a thorn in his eyes, which hurts her eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "This is a family feast. You haven't seen your second uncle and aunt for a long time, and you didn't salute well."

"It's simply impolite." He concluded in a low voice.

Liu Yuping heard the words and said: "It doesn't matter, as for my family, there is no need to be restrained."

Ye Jinxiao was dissatisfied. Seeing Ye Lingwu sitting next to her, she said in a muffled voice, "Eldest sister hasn't gone to the capital yet, so she's putting on a show and making us wait so long."

Ye Lingwu, who had been silent all this time, pursed her lips and said: "It's really my fault. I came here early tomorrow, but I coveted the red plums in the yard. I heard you talking and laughing in the room, it's not like that." Sorry to interrupt."

Everyone's face froze.

Gu Shi was the first to react, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, the last time Second Aunt saw Ling girl was the year before last. After all these days, Ling girl has grown more and more beautiful."

After hearing what she said, everyone looked at Ye Lingwu carefully and found that she was indeed getting more and more beautiful.

Especially with the gold powder cloak brought by Mother Xuan on her body, she really has the figure of a noble lady from the Hou family!
As for Ye Jinxiao, who is a half-brother, because of his age, his face has not yet grown, and his appearance is not a little bit worse, so he is naturally jealous.

She whispered yin and yang: "Hmph, if you look so good-looking, don't tell me you're really going to the Marquis Mansion to become a big girl."

click.

Ye Huaicheng didn't know which sentence hit Ni Lin, he slapped the table hard, and shouted at Ye Lingwu: "You and your mother are just like each other, you think you have climbed the high branch of the Hou's Mansion in the capital, Can you forget Ben? You are going to be a servant girl, not a daughter!"

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak.

Ye Lingwu was so frightened that she froze for a long time, the words they made up for her dead mother echoed in her mind, and tears rolled in her eyes uncontrollably.

No one expected that Ye Huaicheng would lose his temper so much, and no one could say what he said to smooth things over.

"Father taught me the lesson, I still don't want to eat this meal, you can eat it." Ye Lingwu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up and left in anger.

The meal was not eaten safely.Ye Huaicheng almost threw the bowl, scaring the third brother in Ye Jinxiao's arms into tears.

In the early morning, the carriage of Ningbeihou Mansion stopped early and waited outside the gate of Ye Mansion.

When Ye Lingwu took Rongxiu into the carriage, only Liu Yuping and Qiu's mother, two smirking masters and servants who were used to performing tricks, were there.

Watching the Hou Mansion's carriage gradually drifting away, Liu Yuping slowly lowered her shoulders with a smile on her face, and said, "Finally, this plague god has been sent away."

Qiu's mother said: "Isn't the eldest lady worried that the eldest girl will complain in front of Mrs. Shen?"

Liu Yuping snorted, "What are you afraid of? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. If Mrs. Shen really wants to stand up for Ye Lingwu, she must ask the master."

Bypassing the bustling long street, the carriage drove slowly towards the pier.

Yuzhou is a well-known coastal city. Hundreds of large and small ships are docked at the pier, some carrying goods, some carrying people, and some going out to sea for fishing.

There are many types of boats that carry people, the largest being the building boat, with a five-story hull and a sail at the bow that is ten meters high.

The so-called money can make ghosts grind, the carriage directly drives into the cargo hold of the building, and there is a special place in the cargo hold for the carriage to berth, and there are also maids and servants of the building to receive it.

Nanny Xuan dismounted first, followed closely by Ye Lingwu and the two female envoys she brought.These two envoys are both from Mrs. Shen's courtyard, one is Rongxiu and the other is Tanchun.

The cargo hold is very spacious, and the carriages are surrounded by rich people's carriages and horses. They have to wait for people to dismount before leaving in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the servants of the building.

According to the rules of building boats, the more prominent the status, the higher the level, the upper level is spacious and bright.And the rooms on the top floor are also particular. The closer to "No. [-]", the status is not as simple as that.

Mother Xuan took the nameplate of the Hou Mansion, and although she treated her according to the highest rules, she only stayed after "No. [-]".

Probably because of the last boat, only maidservants and servants are still walking in the corridors on each floor.

Going up to the top floor, a layer of soft embroidered blanket is laid on the wooden boards, even the doors of each room have become double doors, and the original lanterns have been replaced with bright wall lamps.

When the group arrived at the room, Rongxiu and Tanchun opened the door from left to right, and a gust of warm wind blew in front of them.

At this moment, there was movement from below.Nanny Xuan and the two female envoys went in to put their luggage, but Ye Lingwu leaned out of the balcony curiously to look.

A group of people are walking up the stairs on the opposite side.Among them, the one who attracted Ye Lingwu's full attention was the masked man in black walking in the front.

The man was in his early twenties, with hair tied in a golden crown, mink fur on his shoulders, and under his profile wearing an iron mask, there was a tall nose bridge and a knife-shaved mandibular angle.

Even when he was going up the stairs, the man was still as straight as a pine, with a broad chest, and an invincible aura.

"Miss Lingwu, what are you looking at?" Rongxiu came out to look for someone.

Ye Lingwu hurriedly looked away, "It's nothing."

Rongxiu nodded and said: "The boat maid has prepared some food inside, and Madam Xuan asked you to go in and eat."

Ye Lingwu responded and followed her into the house.

It's winter, and the night is coming fast.Ye Lingwu was lying on the bed. Ever since she saw the masked man in black clothes, she felt uneasy all the time, as if there was a big stone pressing down on her heart.

As the night deepens, sleepiness slowly rises.

When she opened her eyes again, Ye Lingwu found herself in a completely unfamiliar courtyard.

The moonlight was heavy, and a feeling of depression enveloped the entire courtyard.

In front of her was the brightly lit main room, Ye Lingwu stepped into it, but saw an extremely noble woman sitting in the hall, wearing a golden crown in neon clothes, and her skin was as creamy as fat.

Under her, there was a thin woman sitting slumped, her head bowed and weeping. The lady raised her hand, and all the bottles and jars on the table fell on the woman.

She said angrily: "You have a heart like a snake and a scorpion! The old lady thinks that you are the daughter of an old friend and adopted under her knees, but you, in order to marry Jing Yan, actually killed his bride!"

The woman's shoulders trembled, but she didn't say a word.

Ye Lingwu didn't understand what they said, but when she heard the lady call the woman "Lingwu", she seemed to have a heavy burden on her heart and couldn't breathe.

——Who is Jing Yan?
Ye Lingwu approached slowly with doubts, only to find that the woman on the ground looked exactly like her!
She was so frightened that her feet sank and she almost fell to the ground. At this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Such poisonous women must never stay in the Hou's Mansion!"

Ye Lingwu turned her head.

Outside the court, a man in black armor with a solemn expression came quickly, looking at his dusty appearance, he seemed to have just returned from the battlefield.

The woman on the ground was crying until she saw the man's face visibly flustered.

The lady on the seat got up, frowned and said: "Why are you back, you...shouldn't you go back to the palace to report on your duties first?"

The man said coldly: "There is a scandal at home, why am I in the mood to enter the palace?"

The woman pulled the corner of the man's battle armor and said: "I beg forgiveness, brother, Ling Wu only made such a foolish decision because she was in a daze for a while. Please read it for the sake of my 14-year-old entering the mansion to serve the old lady. Forgive me." Leave Ling Wu this time!"

"Forgive you?" The lady snorted coldly, "One dead body and two lives, if word spreads, the entire Ningbei Hou Mansion will be reduced to a joke!"

"...I have ordered people to surround the Hou's mansion, and this matter must not be spread," the man condescendingly cast a sidelong glance at the woman on the ground, "As for you, you will never appear in the capital again after tonight."

The woman held her breath and raised her head to look at him, she pressed her sharp nails secretly, and pressed the flesh on the palm of her hand with red marks, and after a while, she sneered, "Big brother, you want me to pay for my life to the daughter of the Cheng family? "

Seeing her crazy laugh, the noble lady resentfully said: "It is a gift to you to make you pay for your life. Could it be that you still want to leave the capital completely?"

The woman's fingertips trembled slightly, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

Ye Lingwu heard her heart.

——Forget it, anyway, she is not alone on the road to Huangquan.

——In seventeen years of her life, she was abandoned since she was a child, and she went to the Marquis's mansion to live under the fence, to watch people's faces in the capital, and to be manipulated by others, she had lived enough of this kind of life.

——Seeing Shen Jingyan enjoying family happiness, but she can only marry a poor scholar, it's not fair!

——She is having a hard time, and no one should think about it.

Ye Lingwu looked at "her" face ashen ashes, like the flowers of late autumn withered, her chest began to ache, the air around her became thinner, and her ears buzzed.

Everything in front of him suddenly turned into smoke.

Ye Lingwu sat up suddenly, like a rescued person who was drowning and suffocated, panting heavily, and the broken hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat.

After a while, she regained her composure, looked around, saw that she was still in the room of the building, and then she let go of her hanging heart.

Lady, Jing Yan, a man in armor...

Everything in the dream is real and terrible.

But is she really the "poisonous woman" in the dream?

No, no matter how unsatisfactory life was in Yuzhou, she never complained, and the person in the dream would definitely not be her.

There is an endless black sea on all sides.

When Ye Lingwu went up to the deck, the cold sea breeze came slowly, even though she was wearing a thick cloak, she couldn't bear it.

The sea breeze raised the blue hair on her back high, and the cloak on her body was also swaying in the wind.

At this moment, a voice came from below.

"My lord, those things were indeed hidden under the cargo hold as you expected. It's just that there are many women, children and children in the ship on this floor. What if they get injured by accident tomorrow?" one person said.

young master?Ye Lingwu frowned, looked down under the moonlight, and saw two black figures standing on the lower deck.

One of the men turned around slowly, with an iron mask on his face.

It's the man I met on the stairs of the building before!

His voice is gentle and light: "Fan Kun has grasped this point, and dared to smuggle unscrupulously all these years, so we must first find out where those things are hidden, and when we arrive at Fushou Customs tomorrow night, we will take those people down in one fell swoop. "

"Young master is wise, but our people may not be able to get in the cargo compartment, and we need someone to push it."

The two decks are not far apart, so the voices of the people below can be heard clearly.

Perhaps Ye Lingwu's eyes were too hot, and the people below noticed something. Just as she was getting closer to the railing, a line of sight suddenly fell on her!
Ye Lingwu reacted very quickly and took quick steps back, then ran wildly to "escape".
