The queen is tea-smooth and charming, and she wins the house fight by lying down

Chapter 99 Come to pick you up

"No matter how friendly you act, there will always be people who will take advantage of you. If that's the case, why put yourself in such a difficult position?"

When she stepped onto the second floor, the girl who was looking for trouble was also driven away.

The people watching the whole scene below looked at each other in bewilderment. After her figure disappeared, they finally spoke in surprise:
"This person has changed a lot. He wasn't like this before..."

"Perhaps this is the saying that those who are close to vermilion are close to ink..."

The second half of the sentence was not finished, but those who understood it understood it. The reputation of the Second Young Master Xiao was "known like thunder" in the capital. Many people were talking about Yue Luhua, a beautiful woman with both virtue and talent, marrying him.

Yue Xianhua was welcomed by the shopkeeper into a side room where there was a maid serving her.

After waiting for a while, Ye Mingzhen finally showed up: "I ran into some trouble on my way out. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The girl had a smile on her face, but it seemed forced.

Yue Xianhua did not ask any further questions. If she wanted to say something, she would say it. If she didn't say it... then she had her reasons.

"When you came here, did you feel that the people down there were a little strange?"

Picking up the tea at hand and taking a sip, Ye Mingzhen finally had time to talk to Yue Xihua. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the expressions of the noble ladies downstairs were very strange when he went upstairs.

However, she was in a hurry to come up and see Nong Nong, so she didn't ask specifically.

Yue Xianhua paused while pouring the tea: "I roughly know what's going on."

"Hmm?" The girl looked over with curiosity.

Yue Xianhua smiled slightly and told her briefly what had happened without any hesitation.

"That's how it should be!"

Ye Mingzhen wanted to applaud after hearing this: "Some people are just mean. The more you tolerate them, the more they treat you as a soft persimmon. You are doing the right thing."

Although Yue Hua also felt that he did nothing wrong, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Don't you think I'm bullying you by taking advantage of my power?"

It was funny, she had always wanted to leave Xiao Yan, but every time she encountered trouble, it was either him or he used his power. After so many times, she felt that she...

"How could it be?" Ye Mingzhen breathed hard, "Mm, mm, you just have a good temper! Since you married into the Duke's Mansion, then these are what you deserve. What's wrong with bullying others? Why don't you take advantage of your power? Do you have to wait until someone bullies you in the face and then endure it?"

Ye Mingzhen has a good family background and is favored. Although he envies his friend's smooth and tactful way of doing things, he sometimes feels that she is too wronged.

Now it’s quite good.

"Xiao Er is not a good person to begin with. Go ahead and fight. How dare he blame you?"

Yue Xianhua shook his head and did not continue the topic.

"By the way, do you know what happened in the Marquis' Mansion recently?"

Ye Mingzhen suddenly came closer, and his low voice could not hide his gloating.

Yue Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she had a guess, but her face remained gentle: "What's the matter?"

"It's the new one."

Ye Mingzhen is a good friend of Yue Xianhua, so he will naturally stand on her side when something happens. He said as a matter of course:
"I know you were deeply hurt by the Marquis' Mansion and you never leave your house, so you definitely didn't know about it. That's why you came to find you as soon as you heard about me. The new guy got some medicine from somewhere, and he didn't even know the source, but he dared to offer the medicine to the princess..."

Ye Mingzhen briefly talked about how the princess was poisoned, Yue Xianxian offered medicine, and the princess fell into a coma after taking the medicine.

"These are not the main points. The main point is..."

She coughed and said, "The second son of the Yue family is back. As soon as he came back last night, he went to visit the Princess's residence in person and brought many things, but they were all rejected."

The second son of the Yue family, Yue Xiu Ze, is also the second brother of Yue Xianhua and Yue Xianxian.

He possessed an outstanding talent for business. The Marquis's mansion was in decline and had more income than expenses until he started doing business.

Ye Mingzhen snorted: "You know I don't like Yue Xiu Ze, but he actually came to me for help..."

Yue Hua, who was originally in a trance, finally raised his head after hearing Gao's words: "What?"

Ye Mingzhen: "The Princess' Mansion has been detaining the newcomer because they are angry. They have tried many ways but to no avail. In the end, they came to me for help. Am I familiar with them? They obviously want to use your relationship. I think if they really have no other choice, they may come to you for help in the end."

There was a hint of sympathy in Ye Mingzhen's eyes.

Yue Xianhua understood, and a familiar smiling face came to his mind. He didn't say anything for a long time.

Ye Mingzhen thought she was sad, and comforted her: "You know, you are marrying into the Duke of Wei's Mansion after all. If your in-laws are willing to step in, it will definitely be helpful, so I am worried..."

"Will not."

Yue Xianhua finally came back to his senses, but shook his head.

But no matter how much Ye Mingzhen asked, she refused to say anything.

Not to mention the bad relationship between her and the Marquis' Mansion now, given her grandfather's stubborn temper, he would never come to her for help.

"All right……"

Ye Mingzhen did not ask any more questions. His eyes rolled around, and his expression became a little tangled: "There is one more thing..."

Noticing her sudden shy attitude, Yue Hua raised an eyebrow and looked over: "?"

"It's nothing else, I'm just afraid you'll get angry if I tell you..."

"Then don't say it."

"No! I still want to say it,"

Ye Mingzhen interrupted her: "You must know, only when you know can you be prepared!"

The girl's eyes suddenly became firm: "Fu Yanyu has returned to the capital. He will definitely come to see you."

Yue Huahua's face, which was originally smiling slightly, froze for a moment: "What?"

"It's, it's..."

Ye Mingzhen himself felt a little embarrassed: "Since you got married, Fu Yanyu has always wanted to come to see you, but was stopped by his family. Later, he was sent away. I guess the purpose is to hope that he will calm down after a long time.

Who would have thought that half a month ago, he suddenly fell seriously ill and almost died. The Fu family had no choice but to take him back. Then they all said, said..."

Ye Mingzhen looked up at the quiet and beautiful woman in front of him, and felt a little distressed: "They say he got sick because of missing you. He got sick because of you."

"boom--"

The teacup in Yue Hua's hand fell heavily, and the smile on her face disappeared: "Zhenzhen, don't say these things in the future. I have nothing to do with him anymore."

"I know, I know! Of course I know!"

Ye Mingzhen hurriedly defended himself: "I didn't say these, they came from his Prime Minister's Mansion. But I didn't mean to say this."

Ye Mingzhen was a little incoherent when he was anxious: "What I want to say is, I want to say... he is back and will definitely come to find you! I think you need to know in advance, so I came to find you."

As someone who grew up together, Ye Mingzhen knows the relationship between the two better than anyone else.

Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.

To be honest, although it might be exaggerated, she actually believed that Fu Yanyu fell ill because of Nun Nun.

Who wouldn't be attracted to such a beauty?
After a long silence, Yue Huahua spoke again, his voice cold: "Don't tell me these things in the future, they have nothing to do with me."

After hearing this, Ye Mingzhen actually had a feeling of "as expected": "I know, I was too talkative, I won't do it again in the future." She apologized sincerely.

The room fell silent again, and the two of them sat in silence.

Finally, Yue Huahua broke the awkwardness: "You mentioned Lu in your heart and it caused trouble."

"Yes, yes, and this one too!"

As Ye Mingzhen spoke, he looked around the room and made sure there was no third person. Then he lowered his voice again:
"My father said that something big happened in the capital recently. All people leaving the capital need to undergo strict inspection, so the pass you need is temporarily unavailable."

"What's the matter?" Yue Xianhua was a little curious.

Ye Mingzhen froze for a moment, his expression a little hesitant, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"If you can't tell, forget it."

Yue Xianhua didn't want to embarrass her friend, so when she saw that her expression was not right, she immediately spoke.

"It's not that I can't tell you, I'm just afraid you'll be in danger."

Ye Mingzhen glared at her and lowered his voice even more: "It is said that the remnants of the previous dynasty have infiltrated the capital, so..."

The voices behind him became smaller and smaller. Yue Xianhua thought of the relevant content in the storybook, and the expression on his face became a little stiff.

"...You understand, this kind of thing is not a good thing. Now you have to be strictly checked when leaving the city, and it is even more difficult to get a pass. Without a complete process, you can't get it at all. So you wait a little longer, until the storm has passed..."

Ye Mingzhen straightened up, looking like an experienced person.

"Ah."

Yue Xianhua also knew that these were not good things and said that he knew it.

The two chatted for a while, and the tasting session finally began.

The servant of the Treasure Pavilion came up to remind the distinguished guest that it was time to go downstairs. Yue Yanhua also stood up with Ye Mingzhen.

Perhaps it was because she handled the situation very firmly when she went upstairs, which left a deep impression on the people present.

So when Yue Xianhua and Ye Mingzhen went downstairs together, although there were occasional glances at them, there was no one as reckless and stupid as the last one who deliberately came up to pick a fight with her.

Yue Xianhua pinched her slender white fingers, still maintaining the gentle and elegant demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

The "appreciation session" of the Treasure Pavilion lived up to its reputation. The items on display were indeed very novel and exquisite, and they really attracted the favor of the ladies.

When the tasting session ended, even Yue Hua, who had no original purchase plans, couldn't help but pick out a few pieces of jewelry.

But when the maid wanted to pay the bill, the shopkeeper told her:

"Madam, there is no need to be superficial. Here is the second young master's account book. Madam, just record your bill in it."

The original intention was to please Yue Luanhua, but who would have thought that after these words were spoken, the smile on the face of the girl, who was originally gentle and patient, disappeared a little.

But when the shopkeeper looked again, everything seemed to be just his illusion.

It was not until he had left the gate of the Treasure Pavilion that he remembered something and cried out "Ouch", his face full of regret.

The guy was a little curious and asked the shopkeeper what was going on.

If it were normal, the shopkeeper might not answer, but this time he said with a bitter face:

"The young lady must have misunderstood."

"What's the misunderstanding?" The waiter became even more curious, because the shopkeeper clearly only said one sentence.

The shopkeeper gave a helpless laugh: "Think about who else is in the Second Young Master's backyard besides this lady today."

As a member of the Treasure Pavilion, the clerk naturally knew the situations of various families in the capital. He said without hesitation, "I heard that the Second Young Master has no concubines. Apart from the newly married lady, there is no one else in the backyard."

This is also a point that everyone talks about:
Although he has a good reputation, his backyard is surprisingly clean.

But that doesn't make him look good.

Instead, they all think that the second young master Xiao believes that "wild flowers are not as fragrant as domestic flowers", so he lingers among the flowers every day and refuses to bring them into his room. He is indeed a romantic man!

"Yeah, you know there's no one else."

The shopkeeper's voice gradually gritted his teeth: "Everyone knows that the second young master's mother died early, and he has a bad relationship with his stepmother, but he has the account book in my Treasure Pavilion. Hehe... If you were the young lady, what would you think?"

Guy: "I wonder who these things are for..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and I finally understood.

"Boss, you..." There are times when you make mistakes.

Shopkeeper: ...I don’t want to talk anymore.

He obviously flattered the wrong person!
Unfortunately, there is no chance to remedy the situation.
-
The shopkeeper had a good idea. His words made Yue Hua, who had originally not thought too much, couldn't help but think too much.

The jewelry items in the Treasure Pavilion are famous for their "novelty and uniqueness" and are a favorite place for noble ladies in Beijing to visit.

But the price is expensive, so no matter how much I like it, I won’t buy too much at one time.

But, Xiao Yan, a man, could actually have his own accounts here, and even receive special treatment from the shopkeeper...

She couldn't help but pay attention.

"It has nothing to do with me, so don't think too much about it."

Just as Yue Huahua was comforting herself, a familiar hoarse male voice suddenly rang out:
"Mumble."

Yue Xianhua's body stiffened slightly, and he paused in his move to get into the car.

But she soon came to her senses, and without looking back, she took the hand of the maid and got into the carriage.

"Mmmm! You won't even look at me?"

The sadness in the voice shocked people's hearts and attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Miss, it's Mr. Fu..."

Yunzhi lowered her voice and said to Yue Xianhua: "So many people are watching us, what should we do?"

Because it was a "tasting event", there were many carriages parked in front of the store, and it was not easy to leave in a short time.

If the other party continues to make trouble like this, he might end up being treated as a joke.

Yue Xianhua naturally understood as well.

She took a few slow breaths, managed to adjust her mood, and prepared to speak, but was stunned when she saw the other person's appearance.

The person not far away was still the same person, but he was incredibly thin and haggard, as if he had a serious illness. His clothes were empty, as if he could not withstand the wind.

Yue Xianhua looked at him, somewhat unsure whether this was the Fu Yanyu she was familiar with.

“Mumble…”

"Madam, I'm here to pick you up."

Seeing her looking at him, Fu Yanyu's eyes lit up and he took a few steps forward to speak. He had finally managed to escape from the guards' supervision and come out to find her.

Who knew that just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a lazy and clear voice:
