I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 62 Weird
Wan Jinlan had already had lunch in Ci'an Palace when she left the palace, but the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her was the same as before, as if the last fight had never happened, and her previous worries disappeared.

Concubine Wan Gui entrusted her to deliver food to Anyang in the carriage, and she was not in a hurry to go back to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, but started to wander the streets of Waiguocheng.

I bought some rouge powder and snacks, used a bowl of wontons at the stall, and bought unique sugar figurines and beautiful little lanterns.

When she got into the carriage and went back to the outskirts of Beijing, no one noticed that the style of the silver hairpin on her head had changed, even Chuntao, who was most familiar with her, didn't notice.

The aunt had told her about sending out the silver hairpin earlier, and it had already been done in the jewelry shop.

My aunt said to avoid people's eyes and ears, so she was naturally cautious.

When the carriage set off to return to the outskirts of Beijing, seeing the driver Ma Liu had a different expression, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Ma Liu frowned and said, "Perhaps the slave's eyes were dazzled, as if he saw the person who stopped at the entrance of the alley last year to deliver the girl's letter, but in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared again."

Wan Jinlan looked around the surrounding market, but found nothing unusual.

Even after a few months, if she saw the messenger again, she would be able to recognize it at once. The main reason was that there was a big mole on the lower right side of his cheek.

After returning to the outskirts of Beijing, the red sunset reflected half of the sky, the breeze was blowing, the woods were rustling, and the chirping of insects and birds on both sides of the road became more active.

The carriage went directly to Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing.

After the nanny in charge of Huangzhuang went in to report, Wan Jinlan waited in the living room for nearly a stick of incense before coming to Anyang.

When Anyang came, her expression was in a trance, and she couldn't tell whether it was happiness or worry for a moment.

"My aunt brought you some food, and I brought it to you." Wan Jinlan put down the herbal tea in her hand, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Anyang waved his hand, and all the servants retreated, leaving only the two of them.

An Yang sat next to Wan Jinlan, holding her wrist, "I was a little skeptical about what the third brother said earlier, but I didn't expect that my father really wanted to marry me."

Although Concubine Wan Gui was worried earlier and wanted to make an early marriage for her in order to be at ease, Anyang didn't take it seriously at all, thinking how could she be allowed to make a marriage with her father's love for her?But today the third elder brother came and said that the concubine mother had begged her father several times to settle her marriage with Zhou Shi'an, but was pushed and dragged by her father until the Beirong envoys came to Beijing. This feeling in her heart is really hard to describe.

"Who's here today?" Wan Jinlan asked.

The eighth princess is worried that her mother and concubine have returned to the palace, and Anyang is the only master in the Huangzhuang for the time being, so who told her?
A red glow floated on Anyang's face, "The third brother came this morning. Just now Mr. Chen dressed up as the third brother's servant and brought me something. He said, if I don't want to get married, he will protect me to go anywhere. Protect me all my life in incognito."

Wan Jinlan was dumbfounded, "Mr. Chen? Chen Congbai? He wants to elope with you?"

She was actually a little surprised.

On the day of listening to the play, it was clear that Chen Congbai had completely ignored Princess Anyang from the beginning to the end, and the two of them had no communication, so why did Chen Congbai make such a proposal rashly.For the sake of Anyang, he doesn't want his family in Kyoto anymore?This person is so devoted to Princess Anyang that he can give up the lives of his people!
But Chen Congbai didn't participate in the fight that day, even Zhou Shi'an knew to get up and protect Anyang, obviously he was indifferent.Is there something wrong with this?
Princess Anyang's expression was in a trance, and she couldn't believe it. There were some emotions in her eyes that she didn't even notice, "Sister Jinlan, I just realized that if someone is willing to give up everything for you, it is this kind of mood."

Wan Jinlan had nothing to say for a moment.

Shocked by what Chen Congbo did, there is still a strangeness in my heart that cannot be ignored.

"You answered him?"

Anyang shook his head, "How can I answer, if I leave, the concubine mother will definitely be punished if she stays in the palace alone."

Wan Jinlan said: "Aunt and father will not let you get married." Then, she told her what her father did, and told her what she heard from her grandparents.

Wan Jinlan still had some guesses in her mind that the behavior of her aunt asking her to send the hairpin out of the palace today should be related to Anyang's matter.

Compared with the indifferent Mr. Chen, she believed in Fuzhong and aunt more.

Besides, Chen Congbai didn't come early or late, and came to Anyang to tell Anyang when her father had expressed his attitude so strongly that even the relationship with the emperor became tense.

After returning to Biezhuang, she summoned Ma Liu's son, Ma Xing, and asked him to find someone to keep an eye on Chen Congbai.

Ma Liu is on errands in the government, and she is smart. Her father sometimes entrusts her with some errands, because Ma Xing knows some beggars and poor people in the outer city of Kyoto.

As long as you teach Ma Xing how to mark people, he doesn't have to do it himself, someone will try his best to do it for him.

Wan Jinlan gave Ma Liu the money for the job, and then told him the facial features of the person who delivered the letter to her at the entrance of the alley, and asked him to find him.

Ma Xing got the order and went to work in a hurry.

On the other side, in Xiao Minghuan's Zhuangzi, Chen Congbai was talking with Xiao Minghuan in the study.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, Princess Anyang won't agree to elope with you, and she won't be sent to get married. You just need to take good care of her during this time, and the matter will be sure." Xiao Minghuan said confidently.

He was so sure that Princess Anyang would not get married because Wan Qiuyu told him that Princess Anyang finally went to Beirong as a second marriage.

Chen Congbai understood the situation of his family since he was a child. Since his generation, the Chen family has lost even the title of earl. His father is obsessed with business, and the family is only rich but not expensive. His mother wants him to marry a daughter of a noble family. To change the current situation at home, he already has a beloved, but he can't give her a title.

There are some things that he doesn't want to do, but he can't help himself.

Concentrating the thoughts in his eyes, Chen Congbai said with a little gratitude: "Thank you for your support, Your Highness. If one day favors the princess, the Chen family will definitely help His Highness."

"The ginseng rewarded by His Royal Highness last time is quite curative for my mother's illness. My mother told me to be happy and thank Your Highness."

Chen Congbai originally had a heroic appearance, and he was not flattering when he spoke nicely, and he was a little stiff, obviously not very skilled in such things.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Congbai offered a silver note of ten thousand taels, and the two pushed back and forth, but Xiao Minghuan finally accepted the silver note.

After Chen Congbai left, Wan Qiuyu entered the study.

"Recently, Chen Congbai has become quite interesting." Xiao Minghuan smiled at the bank note.

Wan Qiuyu laughed and said: "With the situation of the Chen family, if he doesn't seek a backer, he won't even be qualified to enter the palace gate in the future. Your Highness will show him the way. If he doesn't go, he will be foolish."
