Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Afterwards, the second prince entered the palace, and within half a quarter of an hour of leaving the palace, word spread in Kyoto.

The second prince asked the pregnant Ye Jingyun to make her a concubine.

This is the first time for such a distinguished honor.

There was an uproar in Kyoto for a while.

When Ye Jingzhao learned the news, his eyes were full of shock.

"Hongzao, ask Xiang Ruo to find an opportunity to meet Aunt Tian and ask her whether the second uncle and the second prince have met in private recently."

Hong Zao retreated in response.

Previously, her second uncle had removed his biological daughter from the family tree for the sake of his official position.

Now that the second prince has granted Ye Jingyun the position of concubine.

I think the ancestral hall of Uncle Chengen's Mansion will be busy again.

It is said that Ye Jingyun has not been idle at all these days.

Throughout the day, I either invited famous doctors from Kyoto to perform free clinics or opened a charity to provide porridge and relief.

At that time, Kyoto was full of voices praising Ye Jingyun, which was really embarrassing.

Before Hong Zao came back, a maid came in and delivered a letter.

Ye Jingzhao looked at the letter in his hand.

Unconsciously he frowned.

Because this letter was not sent by someone else, but by Mr. Arong.

I remembered that it had been several months since I last saw Mr. Arong.

Due to the previous incident, the two never crossed paths again.

Why wasn't she surprised when she suddenly received a letter from Mr. Arong?

Mr. Ah Rong invited her to attend a play and told her to come.

He said he had prepared a big gift for her.

The location is a famous pear garden in Kyoto.

Ye Jingzhao was curious.

By chance, he took the maid to the appointment.

She wanted to see why Mr. Arong asked her out.

The pear garden was right in front of her, and Hong Zao was full of vigilance, following closely behind Miss Fourth.

"Miss Ye Si."

In the private room on the second floor, the door of the private room was pushed open by the waiter. Mr. Arong stood up and saw her coming for her appointment.

He stood up slowly, smiled slightly and saluted.

"Mr. Arong."

Ye Jingzhao nodded slightly, walked over and sat down.

The boy withdrew.

The door to the private room was closed again.

Mr. Arong got straight to the point, "Miss Ye Si, I heard that a few days ago, relatives came to make trouble at the house, and I heard that Mr. Ye San is secretly looking for someone again..."

She suddenly stopped talking and smiled meaningfully.

"Why, when did Mr. Arong become such a gossip?"

Ye Jingzhao was not interested, but there was a bit of impatience in his tone.

Looking at Mr. Arong, his face stiffened for a moment.

Ye Jingzhao raised his lips and smiled lightly, "I think I misunderstood Mr. Arong. He shouldn't be such a person."

I remembered that I had taken a high look at Mr. Arong before.

Because of her life experience, she has come here several times now.

The slightest sympathy in my heart has long since disappeared.

"Miss Ye Si misunderstood. I invited Fourth Miss here today because I regard Miss Ye Si as a confidant, so I thought of giving the news I know to Miss Ye Si."

"I wonder if Mr. Arong has anything else to ask for."

Ye Jingzhao raised his eyes and looked directly at Mr. Arong coldly.

She didn't believe that Mr. Arong would be so kind.

After all, it was because of Mu Yanzong.

"I have something to ask for." Mr. Arong suppressed the deliberate smile on his face before, and his eyes became solemn in the next moment. "Three days later, the Xue family invited me to come and tell stories and congratulate Uncle Xue on his birthday. I want to ask Miss Ye Si for help."

Ye Jingzhao was startled, "Which Xue family?"

Seeing Ah Rong's evasive look, Ye Jingzhao immediately realized that it was the Xue family that Mrs. Mu had previously wanted to assassinate Mrs. Mu's Zhao family to become her stepmother.

Because the previous trouble was really embarrassing.

The Xue family was silent for a long time.

Master Xue heard that since then, he has never stepped out of the Xue family.

All the Xue family's property was lost to the eldest son.

Now Uncle Xue is only forty. Hearing that Uncle Xue's son, Young Master Xue, is going to end this year, he thought of taking care of his son first.

All the famous storytellers and opera singers in Kyoto were invited to the Xue family's banquet.

Everyone in the Kyoto aristocratic family who has some respect has received an invitation from the Xue family.

It's just that the Xue family is a businessman after all, and their family members who are officials in Kyoto on that day will not be present.

Ye Jingzhao didn't want to go either, so he directly rejected Mr. Arong's request.

"Mr. Arong, you also know my current status. I will not go to the Xue family. I'm sorry."

After saying that, Ye Jingzhao stood up and was about to leave.

Mr. Arong was a little anxious and stood up quickly without any scruples.

He reached out and stopped Ye Jingzhao's arm, with a bit of pleading in his eyes, "Miss Ye Si, I am in Kyoto and you are the only friend. I don't want to die. Please."

It turned out that Uncle Xue had already fallen in love with Mr. Arong.

Previously, because of Mu Yanzong, I didn't dare to provoke him.

Now I heard that Mu Yanzong was not in Kyoto and was even disliked by the emperor.

I thought of taking this opportunity to bring Mr. Arong into the house as a concubine.

The Xue family is like a tiger's den and a wolf's den. How could Mr. Arong not know this?

But Uncle Xue had a handle on Mr. Arong, so she had to lower her head and go to Xue's house.

Moreover, what Uncle Xue said was nice, but he just asked her to come and give two lectures that day to make the guests lively.

However, whether he can leave the Xue family in the future is unknown.

"Miss Ye Si, I beg you this time, if Miss Ye Si is willing to help me, I will leave Kyoto completely."

Ye Jingzhao felt helpless and raised his hand to push away the palm that was holding his arm tightly.

"Mr. Arong, I admired you in the past, but after what happened, I was extremely disappointed in you."

"I never owe Mr. Arong anything, and you don't have to exchange anything with me."

"As for whether you stay in Kyoto in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

"Mr. Arong, take your leave."

After the words fell, Ye Jingzhao no longer had any nostalgia in his eyes, and turned around to walk out of the private room.

"Miss Ye Si, Mr. and Mrs. Cui have settled in the house at the end of Yongming Hutong. I heard that Mrs. Ye Er arranged it for them."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Perhaps because of the guilt in his heart, Mr. Arong told all the news he knew.

Ye Jingzhao paused, but did not look back.

Before leaving the house, he paused for a moment and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he quickly left the opera house.

"Fourth Miss, let's go back quickly and tell the Third Master the news."

Hong Zao muttered from the side.

Ye Jingzhao nodded, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, I think my father hasn't returned home yet, so let's take a look first."

Hong Zao was a little worried, "What if we scare the snake away?"

"Don't worry, it won't."

Arriving at Yongming Hutong, we walked to the house at the end.

I saw the door was locked.

The master and servant glanced at each other, turned around and were about to leave, when they happened to bump into an old woman walking out of the house next door.

He glanced at the two of them and said, "Don't wait. This old man went to Qiantou Liuxiang Alley to eat, drink and gamble. I don't think he will come back unless he loses everything."

"Hey, what happened to this old lady, to marry such a scourge."
