Chapter 247 Midnight
In the middle of the night, Zheng Jingyan returned to the Hou Mansion and walked into the second gate. The women and servants on duty all saluted and greeted the Hou Ye. Zheng Jingyan nodded and continued to walk towards the inner courtyard, but two young maidservants flashed out with lanterns in their hands. After following him for a few steps, he called softly, "Master Hou!"

Zheng Jingyan turned his face slightly, and saw clearly that it was Qing He, the maidservant next to Wang Yaozhen.

Qinghe bowed her knees again and said: "Miss, I don't understand something, I want to ask Master Hou, and let the slaves hold the lamps to wait for Master Hou here... Master Hou, please go to Hanjin Courtyard with the slaves, and have a talk with our girl." Say!"

Zheng Jingyan had no expression on his face, and looked at Qing He coldly, staring at Qing He until his face drooped:
"You are someone close to Ms. Wang, and Ms. Wang is a guest of the Hou Mansion, so I can't say anything about you. Go back and repeat what you just said to me for your girls, and ask her, is this appropriate? Yes, ask a man to talk to you late at night, but what do you girls mean? Doesn’t the mother around the girl dissuade you? If this is the rule of your royal family, I don’t have much to say! But this is my house, the rules of the Hou Mansion are strict, and the family tradition Innocent, since your girl comes to my house as a guest, she must abide by the rules of the Marquis Mansion, abide by the boudoir precepts, keep her own place, and don't mess around! The young lady is pregnant and can't control too much. If you have any requests, you can ask the housekeeper to do it. , Madam said, they will also make decisions for your girl! Go back and tell your girl what I said!"

After Zheng Jingyan finished speaking, he stepped up and left. Qing He's knees softened, and she knelt on the ground sobbing, "I'm so rude, I know I'm wrong, please forgive me, Lord Hou!"

Zheng Jingyan stopped looking at her, and Qing He shouted again: "Master Hou! Miss, she..."

There were chaotic footsteps behind her, and the two women on the second door rushed over, one covered Qing He's mouth with her hand, and the other dragged her up, pushing and shoving her to the hallway where the women on duty could sit and drink water Walking in, the little girl following Qing He screamed:

"What are you doing? Let Sister Qinghe go! Just now, Master Hou said that we are guests, and you can't control us!"

The mother-in-law sneered: "Are there any guests like you? What do you think of our Marquis Mansion? Huh?"

"..."

Zheng Jingyan walked faster and faster, and gradually couldn't hear the noise from the second door, but he sighed in his heart—what's the reason?Made him think that Wang Yaozhen was a gentle and smart woman?Wang Yaozhen was really innocent and lovely when she was a child, but now she is so stupid!Self-destroying the city wall many times, being tricked into a disadvantage and not knowing how to realize it, it really made him not know what to say!

It was his luck to marry Yiqing, but I have to say that it was also due to Wang Yaozhen's cleverness. If she had refused to back down at that time, he would not have followed his grandmother's wish to marry Yiqing. He had his own way to get back with Yiqing. Darling, abide by the original promise and wait to marry Yaozhen, no matter whether the two are happy or not after marriage, he will guard her for the rest of her life!

Fortunately, Yuelao didn't doze off, he and Yiqing are destined to be married, and they are finally together!

It was the eldest aunt who made Wang Yaozhen retreat, but what is incredible is that Wang Yaozhen can still trust the eldest aunt, and is willing to pay a large sum of money and valuables to accept the scheme of the eldest aunt!

He didn't put anyone by Wang Yaozhen's side, but let Gan Song arrange guards to patrol outside the palace from time to time. The guards saw his eldest aunt's visits to the palace many times, and Qing He frequently asked Gan Song for money, and Gan Song couldn't avoid it. After casually asking a few words, Qing He brought out Wang Yaozhen's shortcomings of not being frugal and spending money like flowing water, and told Gan Song: The large sum of money is not cheap to outsiders, and it was all put into the pocket of the aunt !
Naturally, all these situations were reported to Zheng Jingyan.

During Zheng Jingyan's absence from the capital, guards were also arranged in the backyard of the Hou's mansion to guard in the dark night. The guards accidentally overheard the intention of the eldest aunt to harm Yiqing. He became more and more disgusted, and decided to clean up the Hou's Mansion after the government affairs were done and everything settled down. The aunts could help them if they were in trouble, but they couldn't be allowed to live in the Hou's Mansion for a long time!

Brothers are going to separate, let alone a married girl?What is even more intolerable is that he actually tried to suppress and hurt his wife and children, just to live in the Hou's mansion for a long time and get more benefits!
As elders who don’t understand self-respect, they are not worthy of respect. For the sake of their grandmother, Zheng Jingyan and his mother have acquiesced and tolerated the aunts for many years to treat the Hou’s Mansion as their own home and live here and there at will. Now, they have lost this qualification!

Zheng Jingyan walked quickly in the night, went to Anhe Hall first, saw that the old lady had rested, and retreated to the meditation courtyard, Mrs. Zheng was still copying scriptures under the lamp, Zheng Jingyan went in to greet her mother, but Mrs. Zheng refused to let her go. The son sat down, only got up and pulled his son to say a few words, and told him to go back quickly:
"Qing'er may still be waiting for you! After you went for a few months, she was pregnant, and she suffered from nausea for three months. She couldn't eat and sleep well, and she had to support her with housework and accompany her with all her heart. Grandma and I have worked so hard! You, be kind to her!"

"My son understands! Please rest assured, mother, my son will love Yiqing very much!"

After Zheng Jingyan said goodbye to his mother, he returned to Yuhui Courtyard at a faster speed.

Yun Ping and Yan Ying were sitting outside, one was reading a book, the other was doing needlework. Seeing that Master Hou had returned, he hurried over to serve him. Yun Ping reported softly:
"The young lady rested early, and she is sleeping soundly at this time. The young lady told the servants to wait for the master to come back, to serve the master to bathe and change clothes, and have a supper..."

Zheng Jingyan waved his hand, and said softly: "There is water in the clean room. I came back from the palace with some snacks. I'm not hungry. You guys go down!"

Yun Ping and Yan Ying didn't say much, they saluted and exited the upper room, closing the door gently.

Zheng Jingyan walked into the inner room, went to the bed and opened the curtain to look at Yiqing who was sleeping. She was covered with a thin satin mattress embroidered with lotus flowers, lying on her side, with one hand covering her abdomen and the other on her cheek, her sleeping face Quiet and peaceful, it can be seen that she purposely patted the two pillows loose and arranged them side by side, sleeping in it by herself, leaving the vacant space beside her for Zheng Jingyan.

In the past, Yiqing never thought about leaving a place for him. She lay alone in the wide big bed, dragging and wrapping her gorgeous quilt covers, countless pillows of countless sizes, either slanted or horizontal, or She was sleeping directly in the middle of the bed in large characters. In short, she occupied such a big bed by herself, but she couldn't feel the emptiness and loneliness at all. It made Zheng Jingyan very sad.

Now, she has finally awakened!Seeing her well-behaved and well-behaved appearance, Zheng Jingyan couldn't help it. He bent down and touched her soft and smooth cheek with his lips to see if she hadn't woken up. Change clothes and go to the clean room to shower and wash.

When he returned to the bed, Yiqing changed her sleeping position and continued to dream. It seemed that she had a very interesting dream. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet and seductive smile.

Zheng Jingyan propped his arms on both sides of Yiqing's body, looked down at her obsessively, the two villains in his heart were arguing for a while, but in the end reason prevailed, and he gave up the idea of ​​waking Yiqing, he slowly lay down close to her, Lovingly and tenderly kissed the back of her head twice, then closed her eyes, praying in her heart to enter her dream, and gradually fell asleep.

At this time, in a large room in the small side courtyard of Hanjin Courtyard, the lamps and candles were bright, and the sound of crying kept coming and going. Qinghe knelt on the ground, wiping away her tears, and the little girl who followed her to the second gate knelt on the other side , also sobbing and choking, with tears all over her face.

Sitting on the embroidered pier, Wang Yaozhen looked at Qinghe. Apart from the coldness, there was more resentment and disgust in her eyes: "This thing can't be done, and an irrelevant woman sent her back like a prisoner. Seven Are you going to piss me off after Zhang Bashua said such a bunch of useless words? The longer you grow, the more stupid you become! What's the use of keeping you?"

Liu Yan handed a bowl of bird's nest porridge to Wang Yaozhen, and said softly, "The bird's nest porridge is not good if it's too cold, please use it, girl..."

Wang Yaozhen stretched out her hand, and with Liu Yan's exclamation, the exquisite white porcelain blue and white bowl slid to the ground. The porcelain bowl was of excellent quality, and the sound of shattering was not too loud, but the carefully stewed bird's nest porridge was wasted like this up.

Liu Yan woke up from her daze, met Wang Yaozhen's increasingly angry eyes, and quickly knelt down too.

But Wang Yaozhen stood up, pointed them and said: "Okay! Okay! You are one or two, big-hearted, don't think I don't know what you think! The master is back, right? With the appointment of an earl, the Wang family will be back again from then on. It's going to be prosperous! My wife died, and the master escaped with his own life. In less than four years, I wore sackcloth and filial piety for my parents, cried and went blind, and took care of my grandmother in a sick and weak body, but he was in the south. When my mother’s bones were still cold, I married a new man and gave birth to three sons... You see that I’m down and out, so you have to go back to please the new mistress and new masters! If you refuse to work hard, you only think about other things Are you looking for a way out? You, you have a good plan!"

Wang Yaozhen was emotional, hissed and said, tears flowed all over her face!
Inside and outside the house, the maidservants knelt down on the ground, sobbing and crying non-stop. Fortunately, this is a side courtyard that extends to the back garden, and there are many trees around, which block the sound, but there will be more noise Can't disturb others.

Wang Yaozhen cried for a while, but the girls couldn't persuade her, but instead she scolded her with all kinds of excuses. As a last resort, the nanny who had fallen ill for several days got up and comforted her, which made her feel better.

Qing He and Liu Yan hurriedly ordered the little girl to tidy up and clean the room, prepared hot water, sprinkled some tranquilizing flower petals into the tub, and waited for Wang Yaozhen to take a hot bath, until midnight, probably Wang Yaozhen herself was also tired Now, let Qinghe Liuyan serve her to go to bed, lie down on her side and don't move.

The big and small girls left the room one after another, and Liu Yan stayed with the girl on the outer couch. When the last light was turned off, Wang Yaozhen slowly lay down, and in the darkness, tears wet her cheeks again.
