Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 91 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Only after the people left did Liao Fuyu finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Her face was extremely grim: "Qing'er, Anlan, I'm glad to have you tonight. If I had met him alone, I really don't know what would have happened."

Chu Anlan couldn't help but ask: "That person..."

"That man is a beast." Liao Fuyu said, "He was a beast when we were in Northern Xinjiang. I wanted to kill him myself, but my father stopped me."

"Beast?" Chu Anlan was puzzled.

Ye Wanqing was horrified.

She looked at Liao Fuyu and a terrible thought came to her mind.

At this time, another person came out of the Princess's Mansion.

"Qing'er, Anlan, Fuyu." Ye Chenting stood on the steps and looked over here: "What are you still standing here for? Where are the people? Have you solved it?"

Chu Anlan replied lazily: "If the person is not solved, the problem should not be solved either."

Ye Chenting walked down the steps and came over slowly: "Although I don't know what happened, if there is any problem, it is better to solve it as soon as possible to avoid more trouble at night."

Ye Wanqing also agreed: "Fu Yu, if you have any problems, you can tell me alone and I will find a solution for you."

"You can also find Chu Xiaoyan." Chu Anlan said: "He has many ways."

Prince Duan?

That’s even more unspeakable!

Liao Fuyu mustered up her courage and looked at Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, I can only talk to you about this."

"it is good."

It was late at night. After being persuaded by Ye Chenting, Chu Anlan said "it's such a spoiler" and disappeared into the night on horseback.

Jinghong Garden.

Yingxiang and Qianxi prepared tea and snacks, replaced the candles, and fanned the charcoal fire a little more vigorously before leaving the room with the remaining attendants.

By the window, in the white porcelain vase on the table, peach blossoms are in full bloom.

This peach blossom was brought by Chu Anlan after class at the Imperial College.

Ye Wanqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liao Fuyu: "Warm your hands."

Ever since meeting Ji and Ji Mingxiang, Liao Fuyu's face looked ugly and her palms were sweating.

She is usually carefree and rarely has moments like this.

However, since she didn't speak up herself, Ye Wanqing didn't ask.

Everyone has more or less secrets, some of which are made public and some of which cannot be revealed.

Liao Fuyu is the latter.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, my body finally gradually warmed up.

Liao Fuyu held the teacup with residual warmth and stared at the candlelight. "My father married Ji, who was born in a humble family, because he thought she was a kind-hearted person who could take care of me. However, Ji didn't like me, treated me badly, and soon gave birth to a son...

Thanks to her son, Ji's status in the general's mansion rose rapidly, and people from her mother's family often came to my house. Ji Mingxiang was Ji's youngest brother. He was uneducated, thieves, and gambled... In short, he had a very bad reputation in the northern border. When I was about 12 or 13 years old, one night, he sneaked into the general's mansion drunk and went to my room... I was too tired from playing that day and slept very deeply. I didn't wake up until the quilt was pulled away and most of my clothes were missing..."

Ye Wanqing was shocked when she heard this, and her voice trembled with anger: "What happened next? Is this the end of it?"

Liao Fuyu smiled bitterly, "That night, I told my father about this. Ji took Ji Mingxiang and made him kneel in front of my father. She cried and slapped him several times. Ji said that Ji Mingxiang was looking for money to gamble, and he was drunk and unconscious, so he accidentally touched my bed... After weighing the pros and cons, my father fined Ji Mingxiang 20 military sticks for the crime of theft."

Coveting your niece is a beastly act!

However, the behavior of this Marquis Jingbei is really puzzling.

The daughter's innocence was almost lost, but the culprit was only punished with twenty military sticks. What was he thinking?

Didn't he ever think that the culprit might spread the news?
No wonder...

No wonder Liao Fuyu has a very contradictory personality.

Most of the time, she is carefree and very optimistic, but sometimes, she is extremely sensitive.

She likes Chu Xiaoyan and wants to marry him, because she wants to get the love from her lover that her family has never given her, right? But, can Chu Xiaoyan really give her what she wants?
Suddenly, Ye Wanqing thought of something.

Ji Mingxiang, it’s just what you need.

Looking at Liao Fuyu's still pale face in the candlelight, Ye Wanqing said softly: "Do you still want to keep this Ji Mingxiang?"

"No!" Liao Fuyu blurted out without even thinking: "A beast, keeping him will only cause endless trouble! I wanted to kill him back then."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "I think so too."

Hearing this, Liao Fuyu was stunned: "Qing'er... I want to kill someone, why don't you think I'm scary and think the same as me?"

"If I want to kill someone, do you think I'm scary?" Ye Wanqing asked back.

"No." Liao Fuyu said seriously: "If you kill someone, I won't feel scared. I will just think you are cool and I will like you more."

Ye Wanqing laughed.

She glanced at the dark night outside the window and said, "It's getting late. Let's take a rest first. We can deal with other things after we wake up."

To kill someone, you have to borrow a knife first.

the next day.

After breakfast, Jingbei Marquis Liao Qiqi sent someone over. Liao Fuyu had no choice but to go home first.

Before leaving, Ye Wanqing comforted her: "In a few days it will be the tenth day of March. Getting married is the most important thing in a woman's life. Just wait for your marriage with peace of mind. We will take care of other things."

Liao Fuyu nodded: "I know."

Ye Wanqing hugged her and said, "I'll come to see you in two days. If there's anything, just send someone to find me."

Liao Fuyu left with a heavy heart.

Not long after, someone else came to the palace.

The leader was a eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace, who said that he was ordered by the Crown Prince to deliver some of this year's new tea to the eldest princess and the county lady.

The eunuch in charge ordered someone to hand over the box: "I have already delivered the tea for Her Royal Highness the Princess. These are for you, the Princess."

One of the boxes was heavy.

Ye Wanqing took a look and knew what was inside.

She took the heavier box and handed it to Ying Xiang, then turned around and said, "I'll take the things. Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

"You are too polite, my princess." The eunuch in charge said with a smile, "Then I will return to the palace to report first."

Ye Wanqing glanced at Yingxiang indifferently.

Ying Xiang took a bulging purse from the table and said, "This servant will give it to you, eunuch."

"I'll take my leave."

After everyone left, Qianxi placed the box on the table and opened it carefully: "Miss, it's a scripture."

Ye Wanqing took a look and said, "Leave it there. I'll start copying it later."

The prince sent a lot of scriptures. Fortunately, Ye Wanqing had followed the empress dowager to copy scriptures since she was a child. Not only did she have beautiful handwriting, but she was also fast in copying scriptures.

Qianxi put the box on the table.

Ye Wanqing ordered: "Go and find out how Ji Mingxiang is doing in the Beijing Guard Division."

Qianxi responded: "I will go right away."

After everyone had left, Ye Wanqing walked to the desk by the window and sat down. She took out her writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, rolled up her sleeves and wrote down two names - Ji Mingxiang, Prince Duan's Mansion.

A scoundrel who has done a lot of evil in the Northern Frontier, who doesn't know the rules of Jindu, and who gets drunk, what he does shouldn't be surprising, right?

But there are risks in doing so.

Moreover, if this matter were to happen, Liao Fuyu and Chu Xiaoyan would be implicated, and their days of wealth and leisure might come to an end.
