Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Ye Jingzhao was slightly startled when he saw a young man in a plain gown at the gate.

This was the first time she had seen Mu Yanzong wearing such a plain gown.

Perhaps because of his clothes, the chilling aura from Zhou's years of martial arts practice was slightly hidden.

At first glance, I thought he was a traveling businessman.

"Why are you dressed so plainly today?"

Ye Jingzhao stepped forward, frowned slightly, bowed in vain, and carefully looked at Mu Yanzong's attire.

When Mu Yanzong saw her asking about his attire, he lowered his head and glanced at the clothes on his body, then raised his head and said, "Doesn't it look good dressed like this? If you don't like it, I won't dress like this in the future."

As Mu Yanzong spoke, he took the food box from the boy behind him.

He carefully handed it to her, and then said, "A new preserve store has opened in the city. I don't know if you like it, so I bought some of the same ones for you to try."

"If you like any one, I'll ask Xiangyue to go out and buy it for you on weekdays. The money will be recorded in my account."

"I have deposited 100 taels of silver in the shop. You can go and buy it without worry."

Ye Jingzhao was dumbfounded and took the food box from his hand, which was just a candied fruit.

He actually deposited 100 taels of silver in the shop.

It's hard for him to have any intention.

Being remembered like this always makes people feel inexplicably warm.

The corners of Ye Jingzhao's lips raised slightly.

Instead he nodded slightly.

"I have to go out and do some errands. I won't be in Kyoto these days. You should be more careful with everything."

"Also, if nothing happens, go and talk to my mother so that she won't be lonely. Although my cousin Mianmian is with me now, Mianmian is still young and not as considerate as you."

"Where are you going? What to do at Nan'an Camp."

Ye Jingzhao blurted out, his tone was a little hasty, but in fact it was just because he was uneasy.

This was the first time she heard Mu Yanzong mention that she would be leaving Kyoto for a while.

"Nan'an camp is currently under the care of Brother Ye. I think nothing will go wrong. I want to go out and help the prince with something. I don't want to tell others. You don't have to worry."

"You take care of yourself during these days when I'm not in Kyoto."

Although there were people left to protect Jing Zhao secretly, he still felt uneasy.

I wish I could have her with me all the time.

When Ye Jingzhao saw him talking about helping the prince with things, he was afraid that there was something fishy hidden in it.

Without asking any further questions, he handed the food box in his hand to the maid behind him.

Then she stared at him nervously and warned, "Be careful along the way..."

It took him a while to squeeze out this sentence.

There are thousands of words choked in my throat, but I don't know how to speak.

Mu Yanzong nodded lightly, and looked at Ye Jingzhao before leaving, but hesitated to speak.

Finally, he stepped forward, raised his hand and gently rubbed her forehead.

Only this time, Ye Jingzhao did not avoid Mu Yanzong's hand.

The moment he touched her, his whole body trembled, and then his heartbeat accelerated.

With her cheeks burning, she raised her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her.

He pursed his lips and finally said, "I'll wait for you."

The corners of Mu Yanzong's lips couldn't stop rising, and there was a soft light in his eyes.

He nodded slightly, then took a step back, only to make another confession before leaving. "After you go back, you go back to the house alone, open the food box, and then take it to share with others."

He stared at the food box meaningfully, with some instructions in his eyes.

Ye Jingzhao's heart tightened, he nodded slightly, and took the food box from the maid's hand.

The fingers holding the handle tightened and she nodded to him, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

Mu Yanzong turned around and left three times at a time.

Looking at the disappearing figures on the long street.

For some reason, Ye Jingzhao felt a little melancholy for the first time.

At some point, a hole appeared in my heart, and it became increasingly hollow.

It seems that nothing can fill the gap in my heart.

She thought that if Mu Yanzong returned to Kyoto, the gap in her heart would disappear.

As soon as Ye Jingzhao returned to the house, he sent all the maids out.It's not that she doesn't believe the people around her, it's Mu Yanzong who told her that she must not be careless.

Red dates guard the door.

Ye Jingzhao opened the three-layer food box.

The first and second floors are filled with pastries of various colors, which look extremely delicate and attractive.

Ye Jingzhao didn't pay too much attention to this.

Instead, he stared at the food box on the bottom level.

There is a booklet with a letter on it.

Ye Jingzhao reached out and took out two things. He opened the letter and flipped through the book.

The book seems to be an account book.

But it is very different from the usual account books of the headmaster.

After just one glance, Ye Jingzhao was horrified.

Because that booklet was actually an account book involving corruption in the DPRK.

Where did Mu Yanzong get this from, and why did he give it to her.

After reading the letter.

Only then did she finally understand why.

He was going out of Kyoto to investigate the corruption cases in this book, pretending to be a team of merchants along the way, and had to visit almost all the border cities.

It can be seen that the amount of corruption in this book is astonishing.

This trip was authorized by the prince.

He warned her in his heart not to worry, the emperor would use the excuse of his dereliction of duty to remove him from his official position.

The more he saw behind him, the more Ye Jingzhao's heart sank.

Traveling in disguise this time, I'm afraid it won't be easy along the way.

She looked up at the void, silently praying in her heart that he would have a safe journey back to Kyoto as soon as possible.

He couldn't leave this account book to his mother. A place like Su Muhou's Mansion was not safe.

Because of the time when his father had just passed away, Mu Yanzong's former friends also deliberately distanced themselves from him.

After much deliberation, I could only give this thing to Ye Jingzhao for safekeeping.

After all, she is his fiancée, and he can trust her.

Within two days, another uproar happened in Kyoto.

Mu Yanzong, the eldest son of Sumuhou Mansion, made the emperor furious, neglected his duties, and was dismissed from his official position by the emperor.

Ye Jingzhao got the news.

I took red dates, Xiangyue and Xiangmin to Sumuhou Mansion.

Because she now went to the Jiang family of Xiaoyonghou Mansion to study with Miss Jiang.

Zhao Mianmian hasn't seen her for several days.

Although in Yuming Academy, the female classmates are extremely easy to get along with.

But she still hopes to see Ye Jingzhao every day.

"Sister Jing Zhao."

Zhao Mianmian was holding the medicine in her hand. When she saw her coming, her eyes lit up instantly.

Just as he was about to rush forward, he remembered that he was holding his aunt's soup in his hand.

Calming his mind, he stepped forward step by step.

The two met on the porch of the main house.

Now they are all going to see Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Zhao.

Ye Jingzhao stepped forward quickly and took the decoction from Zhao Mianmian's hand.

Then he asked, "Mianmian, Mrs. Mu is sick?"

Zhao Mianmian's eyes turned red and she nodded for the first time.

"My aunt is worried that my cousin has caught wind and cold again. She has asked a doctor, but she has been taking medicine for several days, but it has no effect."

"Sister Jing Zhao, did my cousin really make any mistakes?"

"Why do the servants in the Hou family say that my cousin left my aunt and me and fled for his life?"
