marry a princess

Chapter 322

When hearing the conversation between the two outside the house, Bai Ziwan already understood that it was the sound of his piano that led him to the attic.She couldn't let him see herself, but she couldn't control the longing in her heart and her desire to see him, so she hid behind the bed with Ling Rui.

The moment Yuan Hongyi stepped into the room, Bai Ziwan subconsciously held Ling Rui's hand, and the other hand grasped the bed rail. The thoughts came out instantly. She bit her lips tightly, not daring to make a sound. I was even more afraid that I couldn't help calling out his name.

The bitten lip was slowly released, Bai Ziwan wiped away the tears on his face, and smiled.When she decided to 'die' to solve all the problems, they were already doomed to run counter to each other.They shouldn't have met each other one day, but now, he has thrown away his identity and his responsibilities, no matter what he came here for, when he came, he stood right next to him, even if he couldn't get along with him See, if she can't feel the warmth of his embrace, and can't hear him call her name, she should be satisfied, right?

Seeing the disappointment in Yuan Hongyi's eyes and the loneliness revealed from his back when he left, Bai Ziwan's heart felt like a cut, and when he moved, he was held by another hand.

Bai Ziwan turned around and saw Ling Rui shaking his head at him, signaling that he could not go out.The tears that had just stopped bursting again.Bai Ziwan leaned against Ling Rui, closed her eyes and shouted silently in her heart, "Yi, I'm sorry. Forgive me, don't hate me."

The nanny said that there would be a day when their family would be reunited, but she was looking forward to that day, but she didn't dare to hope.

Following Yuan Hongyi's departure, Bai Ziwan felt as if all his strength had been emptied, his head was dizzy, and his body was on the verge of falling.

"elder sister……"

"Miss……"

Leng Ling, Qing Lan, and Yue Luo closed the door behind them when they heard the words, and ran over, seeing Bai Ziwan being hugged by Ling Rui, their faces pale.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Leng Ling said, "Qinglan Yueluo, you help the lady to lie on the bed, and bring in some hot water. I'll call Mr. Gongsun."

"Leng Ling," Bai Ziwan pulled her back, shook his head lightly, and said weakly, "Uncle Gongsun and Nanny have been separated for many years, and they just got married, so don't bother them."

Leng Ling frowned, at any time, the lady was still thinking about others.

"I'm fine." Bai Ziwan held Leng Ling's arm, supported his hands and slowly stood up straight, and said, "You guys help me to rest for a while and I'll be fine."

Qinglan fetched hot water and came in to wipe Bai Ziwan's face, Yueluo poured half a cup of hot water for her to drink, and helped her to lie down.

"Sister, are you really okay? I'll call my adoptive father over."

"Don't go." Bai Ziwan held Ling Rui, smoothed his slightly frowning brows, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister is really fine."

"Hmph, it's all caused by King Ningqing! He doesn't stay in the palace to accompany the old emperor. He came here to attend some kind of wedding. Doesn't he know who he is? He's not afraid that there will be no return. After the wedding, everyone else will leave. Well, the two of them are fine, stay here and don’t leave, it’s fine if you don’t leave, and wander around at night, he regards our Fengyu Mountain Villa as a palace or Ningqing Palace, let him come in and out at will..."

"Qing Lan!" Leng Ling abruptly cut Qing Lan off, frowning and glaring at her, this girl really does not open any pots!
Qinglan was taken aback, and when she realized it, she closed her mouth and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say those words to make you unhappy."

"Okay, I'm fine." Bai Ziwan smiled weakly, and she couldn't understand why Yi and Lao Liu came to Fengyu Villa suddenly, and why they didn't leave for so long.

"Miss……"

Seeing Leng Ling staring at him hesitantly, Bai Ziwan couldn't help asking, "What do you want to say? Or is it something you thought of?"

"Why do you think King Ningqing and the others have not left?"

Bai Ziwan shook his head and said, "What do you think is the reason?"

Leng Ling thought for a moment, then hesitated, "Yesterday when I came back from outside, I happened to hear King Ningqing ask a maid if she knew you, and asked her if there was a pregnant woman living in the villa. I suspect that King Ningqing saw you, and Doubt you're still alive."

Bai Ziwan's eyes jumped, and Leng Ling continued, "But you don't have to worry, Miss. As long as you don't see Miss, it's useless for King Ningqing to doubt you. But I have to report this matter to the owner and the old owner, and ask them Find a way to get King Ningqing and the others to leave." Although they have explained it earlier, the people in the villa talk a lot, and it would be bad if anyone accidentally said something.

They lived in Fengyu Villa for three days, Ling Xiaoyi and the old owner of the villa treated them very politely, and the maids and servants also treated them with respect and courtesy, even so, they still saw suspicion and wariness in their eyes.Now that Fifth Brother ran out, it would be very bad if he was misunderstood.

Yuan Hongjin was thinking about whether to go out to find Yuan Hongyi, the door of the house was pushed open, and when he saw the person coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Fifth Brother, where did you go just now? I was planning to go out to find you! Hey, Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you, you look so bad? Is something wrong?"

Yuan Hongyi walked to the table as if he hadn't heard anything, put his hands on the table, closed his eyes, and recalled the song he just heard.

Is it true that I heard wrong?Always feel that something is wrong?Jian Mei frowned slightly, and his hands were slightly bent. After a while, Yuan Hongyi suddenly raised his head and stared at the pine and bamboo painting on the wall. There was only one woman in the room, but he felt the breath of three people. Who were the other two people?Why not in the house?

Is it...

Thinking back to Leng Ling's reaction just now, the expressions of Qinglan and the other person, and the faint fragrance in the house...Qinglan is a maid, how could she live in such a nice courtyard?And only by her.They were lying, it wasn't Qinglan who lived there!The person playing the piano is not Qinglan either!

But why do they lie?It seemed that something passed through his mind very quickly, he couldn't grasp it, but it was enough for him to understand clearly.

"Fifth brother, you just came back from the outside, why did you go out again?" Yuan Hongjin chased him out, blocking Yuan Hongyi's path, and said, "Fifth brother, I don't know what your answer is, after all, this is Fengyu Mountain Villa, let's come This is just for congratulations, but others don't think so, not to mention it's late, if you go in and out like this, it would be bad if you are misunderstood."

What about a misunderstanding?Could he be afraid?Yuan Hongyi pulled Yuan Hongjin, no matter what, he had to find out!
After a few steps, Yuan Hongyi stopped suddenly, staring at the moon cave door.If it was just now, he might be able to find the answer.After just now, his appearance has already alarmed the snake. No matter who the other two people are and why they don't want to show up, he will only return in vain if he goes now.

Who are those two people?Could it be Ah Wan?Although it was just a quick glance that night, he was sure that he saw it right.If Ah Wan hadn't died, who was that person in the tomb?If it was Ah Wan, it was impossible for her not to know that he was in Fengyu Villa, why did she avoid him?
"Fifth Brother..."

"Lao Liu, let's say goodbye to the two owners."

farewell?Yuan Hongjin was taken aback for a moment, staying here for three days, how can he say goodbye?Seeing Yuan Hongyi who had already walked out of the yard, he hurried to catch up and said, "It's so late, where is Fifth Brother going?"

"capital."

Yuan Hongjin was taken aback again, and was about to ask why he suddenly wanted to go back to the capital, but Yuan Hongyi had already strode forward, Yuan Hongjin sighed and had to keep up.

In the early morning of the second day, news of Yuan Hongyi and Yuan Hongjin's sudden departure from Fengyu Villa in the middle of the night spread to Qingranju.While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were even more worried that Bai Ziwan would be sad because of this. After a few days passed, seeing that Bai Ziwan's expression was not sad as usual, they couldn't help but feel relieved.

Bai Ziwan naturally sees the changes in everyone. It's not that she is sad or uncomfortable, but she doesn't want her sadness to affect others.Whether you are sad or uncomfortable, life will always go on, and it is better to be happy than to be sad.

Just after New Year's Eve, it was Lantern Festival again, because something happened to Jiangbei's branch, Ling Xiaoyi and Gongsun Liang set off to leave Fengyu Villa in the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, and the old owner Ling also took Ling Rui to leave two days later. Before leaving, he promised again and again that he would return before Bai Ziwan gave birth.

There will be a lantern festival on the night of the Lantern Festival, fearing that many people would crowd Bai Ziwan, so Nanny, Aunt Liu, Sang Hong, Qing Lan, and Yue Luo accompanied her for a walk outside.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going on the street, and the sound of hawkers hawking can be heard, creating a lively and prosperous scene.Several people were protecting Bai Ziwan and walked forward slowly, and she felt guilty when she saw that they were still cautiously watching all directions and listening to all directions.

She also knew that she should take good care of her baby in Zhuangzi at this time. She stayed in Zhuangzi every day and went to all the places she should go. What is the difference between Jiangnan and the later Jiangnan.

"There are candied haws over there!" Qinglan raised her hand and said to Yueluo, "Yueluo, look at miss, I'll go buy candied haws for her."

Seeing the sound going forward, Yueluo shook her head, and said helplessly, "This Qinglan, she is obviously greedy, but she wants to use Miss as a shield."

Bai Ziwan smiled and said, "Is Qinglan always like this?"

"This girl has been greedy for food since she was a child. She often went to the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal food. One time, she even sneaked into the old owner's house to steal the old owner's wine. In the end, the old owner came back and caught her."

"What happened later? Did Grandpa punish her to face the wall and think about her mistakes?"

"I didn't face the wall and think about it, but I punished others."

Bai Ziwan turned to look at Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu said, "Many children in the villa are orphans and beggars brought back by the old owner or the owner. Qinglan and Yueluo are also orphans, and they were brought back to the villa by me. Yueluo is quiet, well-behaved, and sensible. Qinglan is just the opposite. She is not afraid of the sky and the earth. She doesn't study hard and practice martial arts. She drinks and messes with boys all day long. The old owner knows that Qinglan is different from other children, the more you don't allow it She went the other way, so the old village owner issued an order that girls in Fanzhuang who were under the age of 15 drank without authorization, and were immediately expelled from the villa when they were found. No one else dared to drink anymore, but Qinglan was the only one who was not afraid and insisted on going her own way. The old owner of the villa originally wanted to drive Qinglan out of the villa when he found out about stealing the wine, because everyone helped to intercede, the old Zhuangzi said that as long as Qinglan can drink a jar of wine, he will let the past go. "

"A jar?" Bai Ziwan asked curiously, "Has Qinglan finished drinking?"

Yueluo said, "The old owner ordered people to take the strongest wine, even Mr. Gongsun and the others couldn't drink it, let alone Qing Lan. Qing Lan knew that the old owner loved us, but she kept her word. She was afraid that the old owner would really I drove her away, so I had to drink, and she vomited in less than two bowls, and told the old owner that she would never drink again, and since then Qinglan has never touched a drop of alcohol."

Bai Ziwan chuckled, seeing Qinglan approaching with candied haws, couldn't help teasing, "Qinglan, I'll treat you to a drink later, okay?"

Qing Lan handed over the candied haws, subconsciously replied, "I promised the old owner that I would never drink again in my life."

"Haha," Bai Ziwan smiled in a good mood, and patted Qinglan on the shoulder, knowing already, "Grandpa's method really works."

Qinglan was stunned, seeing a few people looking at her funny, recalling Bai Ziwan's words just now, Qinglan suddenly realized, she turned her hand to grab Yueluo and said, "You bastard, how dare you tell Miss, let me see how I deal with you! "He said to scratch Yueluo's itch.

Yueluo dodged, jumped to the other side of Bai Ziwan, and said with a smile, "There is nothing you can't say to others. Since you dare to do it, why are you afraid that Miss will know."

"Yueluo, you..." Seeing that the smile on Bai Ziwan's face disappeared suddenly, Qing Lan paused and asked in surprise, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

A man and a woman walked towards each other from the crowd. The man was wearing black clothes, his face was as cold as water, but his eyes were full of tenderness while looking at the woman.The woman was wearing a pink dress, holding a windmill in one hand and holding the man's hand in the other, as if talking about something, with a wide smile on her face.

It was too late to avoid it, because the man had already seen her.

Bai Ziwan smiled, seeing the man tilting his head and saying something to the woman, the woman turned her eyes, and the windmill fell from her hand in an instant.She rubbed her eyes, stared blankly at her for a while, then took off the man's hand, jumped over the crowd, and rushed to her.

"Fifth sister-in-law."

Pinmingzhai upstairs private room.

Seeing Princess Anning staring at him intently, Bai Ziwan said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few months, so you don't recognize me?"

"No." Princess Anning shook her head, and replied intuitively, "I thought I would never see Mrs. Fifth again, but I never expected..."

"Feelings, you think I'm a ghost." Bai Ziwan patted the back of Princess Anning's hand and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, what you see is not my ghost."

Princess Anning said, "Even if what I see is really just the ghost of my sister-in-law, I won't be afraid. To me, Princess Anning passed away a few months ago."

Bai Ziwan was surprised, "What's going on? The emperor...has he fulfilled your wish?"

That day, she was only thinking about how to send Puyang Qingyu away, but she completely forgot about Princess Anning, until she remembered that she was already on her way to Jiangnan.As a "dead person", even if she wanted to help her out of trouble, she was powerless.

Princess An Ning shook her head and said softly, "Royal Father only has Jiangshan in his heart. For the so-called Jiangshan, he can trade it with anyone. Even if I am his princess, to him, it is just a pawn to help him stabilize Jiangshan. How can it be perfect?"

"Yunshang..."

"I'm fine." Princess Anning gave Han Shao a soft smile, and continued, "I left with Han Shao, partly because of my sister-in-law."

"I?"

Princess An Ning nodded and said, "We all know that my sister-in-law is not a weak person, let alone committing suicide, not to mention that my sister-in-law is still pregnant with a child. The fifth brother didn't believe it even more. He made a big disturbance in the meeting hall on the day he returned to the capital, and later had to open the coffin for an autopsy , said to find out exactly how you died, because of the obstruction of Rue Xiang and Leng Ling, Brother Eleven and Brother Six didn’t want you to die, and they didn’t feel at ease. Knowing that my father is going to marry me to Luoxia Kingdom, five My brother went to make a big disturbance in the meeting hall again. No one knew what fifth brother said to his father. My father was ill for more than half a month. After he recovered, my father went to see me personally and asked me if I liked Han Shao. If you choose Han Shao, you will leave the palace, and he will not have me as a daughter. I left the palace with Han Shao, and my father asked Lan Hui to marry the seventh prince of Luoxia Kingdom instead."

Yuan Hongyi must have stimulated Yuan Haochu about the Empress Xian, Concubine Yi, and her, which made him fall ill, so he had to agree.

"An Ning, don't be sad, it's all over." Bai Ziwan held Princess An Ning's hand and said, "I'm really happy to see you and Han Shao's lover finally get married."

Princess An Ning smiled and said, "I've been tired of everything in the palace for a long time. Really, sister-in-law, I'm not sad at all. But you can't call me An Ning anymore. It’s from my previous life, my name is Yunshang.”

Thinking of this incident, Princess An Ning said, "We saw my sister-in-law buried that day, how could my sister-in-law be in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Bai Ziwan briefly talked about the fake death, Princess An Ning was puzzled, and said, "Since my sister-in-law is not dead, why don't you let the fifth brother know, you don't know, the fifth brother knows that you are dead, and you have been in pain for a long time. First brother. Qingqing is also crying for aunt."

Bai Ziwan lowered his eyelids and murmured, "As you said, both of us are dead people. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Why increase the pain? An Ning, no, Yun Shang, if you still think I am Your sister-in-law, just promise me not to tell anyone that I am still alive."

"Why? Don't sister-in-law miss Fifth Brother?"

So what?Bai Ziwan said, "I don't know how to explain some things to you for a while. If you don't want to see me really die, don't mention me to anyone."

Princess An Ning wanted to ask why, but was stopped by Han Shao. He said, "Princess Ning Qing, don't worry, we will never mention you to anyone."

"Concubine Ning Qing is dead, just call me Awan from now on." Bai Ziwan said, "Are you coming to Jiangnan for pleasure or for permanent residence?"

"I used to hear my sister-in-law say that the four seasons in the south of the Yangtze River are like spring and the scenery is picturesque, so I thought that I would definitely come to see it one day. After leaving the capital, we went to Jiangnan after a few places. We originally planned to stay here for a while and go to the Yuezhi Kingdom. Now..." Princess Anning turned her eyes to look at Han Shao, and said, "Shall we stay in Jiangnan? Just be with my sister-in-law and wait for my eldest nephew to be born."

Han Shao nodded and said fondly, "As long as you like it."

At this time, Yue Luo knocked on the door and came in, saluted, "Miss, it's getting late, we should go back."

Princess Anning asked curiously, "Where does sister-in-law live now?"

"Storm Villa."
