Yan Cigui.

The door panel was banged.

At this time, grandma went out to do some shopping.

Yue Niang came out of the room when she heard the sound, and asked through the door.

Hearing Liu Xun's voice, Yue Niang couldn't help being happy, and hurriedly opened the door with him.

"Why are you here, Master?" A pair of pink and phoenix eyes curled up, full of smiles.

Liu Xun nodded slightly, and strode into the room.

I saw that the cage inside was opened, and a lot of clothes were taken out and spread on the couch.

He was taken aback, and said, "Pack up your things?"

Yue Niang hurriedly moved the clothes to the side and said, "It's a nice day today. It looks like the sun will be shining brightly, so I thought of taking out all the clothes to dry in the sun."

Yesterday I was in a nervous mood, and Yueniang was not in high spirits until Liu Xun left in the early morning.

She slept through the whole night in the second half of the night, and when she got up in the morning, Mammy relieved her a lot.

In short, don't rush the road, go to the end.

If you really can't help but think wildly, why don't you just do some work, and you won't remember when you get busy.

Yue Niang heard that it made sense, so she did it.

I just didn't expect that Liu Xun would come over suddenly.

Liu Xun sat down, took the tea from Yueniang's hand, and took a sip.

His thinking is naturally different from Yueniang's.

Seeing these clothes, what he thought was that Yue Niang seemed to be unsteady in her mind.

Obviously he forced a smile yesterday, he coaxed him for a long time, but he smiled so happily when he came to open the door today, this is not normal!

Besides, it's not just spring after the cold winter, what kind of clothes are you drying!

Most likely Zheng Liu was blocked.

Zheng Liu said that she was shabby, had nothing of value, and that her clothes were of styles not popular in Beijing...

Women's eyes are just like this, they are all staring at jewelry and clothes.

He came over suddenly, and Yueniang accused him of being "stingy" by fiddling with the clothes, not showing them to him.

But Yue Niang is thinking about what is good and what is not, right?

After all, the young man she met at the teahouse spent a lot of money!
Liu Xun's heart was sour, and he said: "I remember that you brought these clothes from Hengshui to Beijing. You have worn them for a long time, why don't you make some new ones someday?"

Yue Niang shook her head and said: "Although they are old, I like them very much. I just made two suits a year ago, and they are enough to wear."

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily passed over Liu Xun's waist.

Liu Xun would tie the purse around his waist.

She undressed and folded the young master's clothes last night, how could she not know how much the money bag weighs?
The son is not very rich.

Back in Beijing, the family accounted for most of the food and drink expenses, and the monthly expenses were not as much as those in the academy.

Now that I am married to a wife, I can tell from the temper of the new grandma that she is very strict with money.

But Narcissus Hutong requires money for food and lodging, the young master must be tight.

How could she think about making new clothes again?
Liu Xun naturally saw Yueniang's glance, and felt really unhappy.

He knows that he is not generous!

Even if he makes new clothes for Yue Niang, the tailors he buys are not as good as those rich kids.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun asked directly: "Apart from Zheng Liu looking for you yesterday, is there anything else?"

Yue Niang was startled when she heard this.

Liu Xun hurriedly asked again: "Did you go out yesterday? Who did you meet?"

Yue Niang pursed her lips, her heart pounding.

Should she tell the truth?

But to be honest, isn't that just confessing the princess?
The princess is not afraid to let the young master know, and even the princess has made it clear that she can say whatever she wants to tell the young master, anyway, the young master can't do anything to her.

But Mother Yue is afraid.

Clearly pointing out that the young master is powerless and can only suffer in the dark, where is the young master's face?
She poked the young master's face like this, is she crazy?
Furthermore, once she said it out and let the Young Master know that she had contact with the princess, then the way forward would be cut off.

"I went out for a while," Yue Niang smiled, trying to calm down, "I went to buy some snacks."

Liu Xun was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, his eyes were full of scrutiny and questioning: "Is that so?"

Yue Niang herself was guilty, afraid that Liu Xun would see the clue, so she kept her head down, so she missed Liu Xun's suspicious look.

"That's it." She whispered.

Liu Xun frowned, then relaxed again, with a sneer in his heart.

Yue Niang lied!
Yue Niang obviously went to meet the rich son of unknown origin!

If Yue Niang doesn't say anything, she just has two hearts towards him!
Zheng Liu was right.

Yueniang is not of one mind with him.

For the sake of Yue Niang, he did not please her anywhere.

His father blamed him, his mother blamed him, and Zheng Liu used this as an excuse to laugh at him. It was also because of Yue Niang that the city was in trouble and there were constant rumors.

And His Royal Highness...

Liu Xun claimed that he was sincere to Yue Niang, and that he would cause some trouble for the girl he loved.

But he paid so much, how did Yueniang treat him?

Yue Niang, she actually lied to him now!
Or lie to him in order to climb high branches!
He was not even willing to give Yue Niang to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Until this time, the father's voice of "It's a pity for Yue Niang" was really a pity in Liu Xun's internal organs.

No, you can't say that.

They are not single-minded people anymore, if Yue Niang is really sent to the prince's side, Yue Niang will not speak for him!

It had to be Liu Ping.

My family has the same interests.

Liu Xun thought to himself, without any precautions, he pronounced the name "Liu Ping".

Yue Niang was puzzled: "What's wrong with Miss Ping?"

"It's nothing." Liu Xun tugged at his neckline irritably, and muttered, "Does Ah Ping look like you? Not at all!"

As soon as the words fell, Yue Niang's head exploded.

Almost instantly, she remembered what the princess had said.

"My sister who resembles you is almost plotted against. Who do you think is plotting and who do you want to dedicate her to?"

The person who calculated was Liu Xun.

The person I want to present is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

What if Miss Ping looks like her?
is not it……

Thinking of it this way, goosebumps stood up layer by layer, and thin sweat broke out on the back of her neck instantly, which made Yue Niang tremble uncontrollably.

The courtyard door outside opened with a creak.

Mommy came back from shopping and called Yueniang.

Yue Niang took advantage of the opportunity to get up and went out, and hurriedly said the words: "Master asked... I..."

Liu Xun was a few steps behind, and also lifted the curtain to come out. He looked up and saw the two muttering, and he snorted coldly.

What about the confession!

These two, eating his, using his, betrayed him together!
His sincerity was blinded in vain!
Turning his head and looking in the direction of the room, Liu Xun took a deep breath when he thought of the clothes that had been made out.

Can't provoke Yue Niang.

She and the rich young man probably haven't reached an agreement yet.

She must be stabilized now, lest the fish die and the net is broken, and the water in the bamboo basket is in vain.

Liu Xun forced out a smile and said, "I still have to leave beforehand." Yue Niang nodded and sent him out.

The courtyard door was closed again, and the nanny asked hesitantly: "It's strange, why did the young master ask? Did the young master know about the girl's meeting with the princess?"

"I don't know." Yue Niang said.

Seeing that she was restless, the mother said again: "In my opinion, the new grandma must be gossiping in the son's ear! Miss, don't worry, the son will not let her provoke you easily. On the contrary, you, the young lady, Why do you look so worried? The more uneasy you are, the more you will be able to see the clue..."

"No, it's not..." Yue Niang shook her head, crossed her arms with both hands, and paced back and forth in the yard a few times.

The sun is in the sky.

The sun shone on her body, making her feel warm, and the layer of cold sweat gradually receded.

"Mom," Yue Niang made up her mind and bit her lips fiercely, "I want to see the princess, I have something to talk to the princess..."

It's still the small tea house, it's still the Tianzi Yajian.

Lin Yunyan was still wearing men's clothes, sitting and drinking tea.

After a while, Wan Yue pushed the door open and came in, looking at Lin Yunyan with admiration in her eyes.

It was exactly as the princess said.

Yesterday afternoon, before Yueniang and the nanny left, Wanyue had told them that if they needed anything, they could go to Shenghui Pavilion in Laoshi Lane to look for someone.

Originally thought that even if Yue Niang really figured it out, it would be half a month later, but unexpectedly, she found it today.

Wan Yue was quite puzzled by this.

To say that Mr. Liu is not sincere to Yue Niang, she is not surprised at all.

But Yue Niang clearly has true feelings for Mr. Liu.

So sincerely, relying on a few words from the princess can make people rebel overnight?
Even if Chen Dong's subordinates contacted a watchman, they would have to look at Mr. Liu a few more times in the middle of the night.

But it was just a few glances, not a word, not a word!

"You are so accurate!" Wan Yue said, "Why?"

Lin Yunyan smiled.

Suppressing her voice, she simply nodded with Wan Yue.

"With Zheng Liu's temperament, if she goes to Shuixian Hutong to show off her power, she will definitely tell Liu Xun that she wants to show off, but she can't hide it."

"And with Liu Xun's temper, knowing that Yueniang is being troubled by Zheng Liu, he will definitely go to comfort her within three days."

"He was much more proactive than I thought. He went there that day and met the watchman."

"Liu Xun is proud and inferior. If he thinks too much, he will become suspicious and will definitely ask around."

"There was no cover when Aunt Wang came to the door. The teahouse is at the entrance of the alley, and it's a crowded time in the afternoon. You can tell where Yue Niang is just by asking."

"Come to the teahouse to ask again, Xiao Er will of course tell the truth."

Wan Yue nodded repeatedly.

When I don't know why, I admire it very much.

When I sort out my thoughts, I admire it even more.

She just went to ask, and Xiao Er said that someone really came to ask this morning.

Lin Yunyan patted Wanyue's cheek and laughed again.

She doesn't calculate accurately, she understands.

Although she has never been in contact with Yue Niang, Lin Yunyan knows Liu Xun and Zheng Liu very well.

In her previous life, when she married Xu Jian, Liu Xun had never heard of a number one person like Yue Niang, so where did she go?
At that time, Liu Xun and Zheng Liu were not yet married, and Yueniang's disappearance had nothing to do with Zheng Liu.

Then was she abandoned by Liu Xun, or was she given to the prince?
Either way, it was Yue Niang who broke up with Liu Xun.

It was possible to break it before, and it will definitely be broken now.

According to this line of thinking, coupled with the tempers and dispositions of these people, it is also expected that such a result will be obtained.

If there was anything unexpected, it was that the results came too quickly.

Of course, it doesn't have to be broken.

Wait and hear what Yue Niang has to say.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Yue Niang entered the private room.

Sitting in front of Lin Yunyan, for a moment, Yueniang retreated in her heart.

On the one hand, there is the young master she has admired and loved for so long, and on the other hand, there is her worry, fear, and uneasiness about betrayal, going back and forth, fighting on both sides.

Lin Yunyan saw her anxiety and hesitation in her eyes.

He didn't rush, just pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Yueniang.

"Jujube ginseng tea, you try it." She said.

Yue Niang held the teacup in both hands, and drank it in small sips.

The tea soup is warm but not too hot, and it feels comfortable in the throat. The sweetness of the red dates softens the bitterness of the ginseng, making the whole heart and lungs feel much more comfortable.

warm.

Like the sun shining on her.

All those cold chills were wiped away at once.

"I have something to tell the Princess," Yue Niang opened her mouth, her lips murmured, "Young Master came over this morning, and he suddenly said something, which made me very uneasy. He mentioned Miss Ping, and he was thinking about Miss Ping and me. Look like."

Lin Yunyan's eyes suddenly tightened.

She immediately understood Yue Niang's panic.

Liu Xun actually made plans on Liu Ping?

Yue Niang's fingers tightly gripped the teacup, her fingernails turned white.

She rambled on, analyzing her mood, and at the same time, using this to encourage herself.

She must convince herself firmly that the choice now is the right one.

Feeling up, Yue Niang spoke faster and faster.

"When I was still in Hengshui, I heard Young Master mention Miss Ping."

"He always said that Miss Ping is ignorant of worldly affairs. Obviously, Miss Ping and I are not much different in age, but Miss Ping is so naive, which makes it more obvious that I have suffered a lot."

"Young master thinks about Miss Ping, and then thinks about my busy life. He said that he really loves me."

"He also said that if my family can be fine and I have parents and elder brothers who love me, I don't have to be forced to carry my life alone."

"I didn't know what Miss Ping's parents looked like at that time, but I knew what a good elder brother looked like from the young master's words. I was so envious!"

"I listened to what the young master said."

"But, but, when I heard the young master's words today, I was immediately dumbfounded."

"My lord, do you want to push Miss Ping in front of His Highness the Crown Prince? Although he is the Crown Prince, but..."

"It is really unfortunate to have such a brother."

"I took this path willingly, and I took it on my own. But Miss Ping is different. She was betrayed by her own brother in a daze."

"I don't want to save Miss Ping or anything. For a person like me, I can't take care of myself. How can I care about saving others? I just want to save myself."

"Young Master keeps saying he is good to his sister, but he wants to harm Miss Ping for his own future."

"I'm afraid of the prince. Although I told myself that the prince doesn't like me who has committed himself to others, if one day the prince..."

"Or there are other people who can help the young master, regardless of these, will the young master protect me?"

"He doesn't even protect his own sister!"

"I have no way out!"

Yue Niang talked a lot, tears fell down, and her whole body trembled violently.

She wanted to believe him, her feelings for him were so sincere and pure, but why in the end, she couldn't believe it?
Yue Niang couldn't explain clearly, and couldn't make sense, she only knew that there was a big hole in her heart.
