Chapter 88 Heartache
A piece of clothing was ruined by Zheng Jingyan with a mouthful of rice soup, and as a result, she got six top-grade silks and three sets of expensive fashion jewelry. This compensation made Yiqing a lot of money. accepted.

Just as Zheng Jingyan was sitting leisurely at the table, drinking tea while watching Xia Yiqing happily lead her dowry maids around the jewelry box, and the master and servants exclaimed in surprise from time to time, Ruyi walked in , After saluting to Lord Hou and Young Madam, he lowered his head and said:
"Elcommia was led in by the second wife, and now he is in the courtyard, saying that he has something important to see Lord Hou!"

Zheng Jingyan suppressed his smile, put down the teacup and said to Ruyi, Hua Yu Cuixiang and the others: "You all go down, I will have a few words with Young Madam."

The girls filed out of the upper room one by one, and Hua Yu closed the door behind her.

Yiqing walked to the table, sat down opposite Zheng Jingyan, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Zheng Jingyan said: "Tomorrow you go up to the mountain to worship the Buddha, I can't go with you because of something, let Gan Song lead a dozen guards from the Marquis Mansion to accompany you, as well as family servants and wives, there will be no mistakes, but there is one thing I want you to know. "

"Okay, tell me."

Yiqing turned her head to look at the pile of silk and jewelry, thinking that the weasel must have something to ask for when she wished the chicken a New Year greeting.

Seeing Yi Qing's expression, Zheng Jingyan couldn't help being angry and amused: "Xia Yiqing, what are you thinking about? It's my compensation to you from the bottom of my heart, and I have no other intentions!"

"Oh, all right!"

Yiqing looked at Zheng Jingyan with a harmless smile and said, "What does Lord Hou want to tell me?"

Zheng Jingyan paused for a moment, and finally said: "Tomorrow you may meet someone in the temple, don't be too...surprised!"

Yiqing nodded: "I see."

Zheng Jingyan was startled, "Do you know who it is?"

"do not know."

"You, don't you want to ask?"

"No need!"

Zheng Jingyan also nodded: "That's how it is, I'll go to Hanjin Courtyard, and you wash your hair quickly, it's too late—you women, you shouldn't wash your hair at night."

"Understood, Master Hou, go slowly."

After Zheng Jingyan left, Yiqing asked Huayu to put away the things on the couch, put them in the cupboard and lock them up. Cuixiang and Yunping helped her wash her hair, take a bath, and then half-dry her hair. night.

Thinking that Zheng Jingyan might not go back to the room again, Yiqing sent the maids to rest, unbolted the door by herself, and then went to bed with peace of mind and slept soundly.

She really didn't try to guess who Zheng Jingyan said would be the person who will appear tomorrow. It must not be a man, because if it is a man, there is no need to tell her that it should be a woman, and it is possible to join the female family members of Zheng's mansion. Yiqing is not curious about women, and she is too busy to be curious. She is so sleepy after drying her hair, she just wants to sleep with her pillow in her arms, so she doesn't have the time to guess.

At this time, Zheng Jingyan was still in the palace, and Wang Yaozhen wanted to see him, so she used a sudden faint as an excuse to ask Qing He to come to Du Zhong to pass a message. Did not expose the blame.

He can't blame it, it's all because of his connivance to make it like this today, and he didn't stop it from the beginning, so what's the point of blaming it now?
He gave Yaozhen a promise that he would marry her, take care of her, and be with her forever. He never let go of this promise. Yaozhen is always a responsibility that cannot be discarded in his heart.

But no matter what he does, Yaozhen can't fully trust him. Now it's because of Yiqing. He didn't have a wife before, and she would make troubles from time to time, because her grandmother didn't like her and refused to accept her. Sad and angry in his heart, he would not eat or drink, did not use soup and medicine, and made himself dying. He had to come and stay by her bed every day for several days in a row before he was willing to recover.

Zheng Jingyan took pity on Wang Yaozhen's frailty and tenderness, and only wanted her to recover quickly, and to be obedient to her, but Wang Yaozhen was used to his pampering, and became more and more like a willful and ignorant little girl.

He always thought that people like Zheng Lanti were self-willed and ignorant. After getting to know Xia Yiqing and getting to know her, he realized that Yaozhen was also ignorant!

Yiqing, shrewd and calculating, loves money and is greedy, he has seen this kind of woman a lot, and he never likes it, but Yiqing makes him fall in love for no reason!

He even wanted to fuel her greed, and then satisfy her, so that she would never be able to walk out of Zheng's house!

But Yiqing had her own plans and plans long ago, he was just a part of her plan, indispensable, but he could be replaced!Either him, or a grandson of the Jin family, or even the birthday king Yuan Cong!She was very lucky to have met him, and he made a covenant with her presumptuously, which was exactly what she wanted: once her father arrives, and her parents, siblings and sisters are reunited as they wish, she will leave the capital with peace of mind!

Whenever there is a plan, one must always take into account the unpredictable variables. Yiqing's plan, from Jiangnan to the capital, has been carried out without deviation. He doesn't know much about other variables, but at this moment he knows very clearly: this plan, Must change!

Zheng Jingyan took a deep breath, slightly frowned his handsome and straight eyebrows, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect his left chest. Hearing Yiqing's words about returning to Jiangnan last night, his heart almost burst!

That girl wouldn't know, she said a few words and said her plan, which almost made him lose his composure!

At that moment, the intense pain spread from the bottom of his heart, and the golden stars danced in front of his eyes... He finally believed what his grandmother said: Yiqing and him are an inseparable pair of mandarin ducks!

A cool little hand touched his chest, Wang Yaozhen sat up from the couch, and asked weakly: "Brother Jing, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Zheng Jingyan sighed and said with a smile, "It's okay, my heart hurts a little, it's over."

Wang Yaozhen looked at him blankly: "Why does my heart hurt? Is it a disease?"

Zheng Jingyan thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, heartache!"

"Brother Jing, you have to take your medicine well and get well soon!"

"I see. Sister Yaozhen, Qing He made the porridge very well, eat it while it's hot."

Zheng Jingyan took Wang Yaozhen's hand off her chest. Yaozhen's hand was soft and boneless, and it was cold no matter in winter or summer. Zheng Jingyan checked her pulse and sometimes led her for a walk in the yard, getting used to her coldness. Even when Wang Yaozhen threw herself into his arms and leaned against him, she didn't feel anything special—he, like Wang Yaozhen, had a cold physique, and the heat was only enough to nourish himself.

Xia Yiqing was different. She once said that Yuan Cong, the birthday king, was as warm as the sun. In his opinion, this statement was only applicable to her. She was a fiery little sun!Walking by his side can make him feel the heat, touching her skin will feel as hot as fire, even her eyes are hot, he can know when she is looking at him, every time she glances over, They could catch her sparkling eyes and smile like a goblin who just stole an elixir.

Wang Yaozhen ate a mouthful of shredded pork porridge in Qing He's hands, and looked up to see Zheng Jingyan sitting on the chair in front of the couch, with slightly raised lips, a gentle smile on his handsome face, even the coldness in her eyes disappeared, she twitched Sniffing, this is her Brother Jing, gentle and gentle, spring breeze turns into rain... When I came in to take her pulse just now, her face was so dark that water would leak out, and she refused to speak for a long time, which made her feel worried and sad !

It's really wrong for her to trick him into coming here late at night, but she really misses him, and if we haven't seen each other for two days, doesn't it mean he doesn't miss her?Seeing her take a bite of food, I like it like this, and just now I was worried that she would suffer from heartache, why bother to suppress myself?
Wang Yaozhen took the porridge bowl in Qinghe's hand, took a sip of porridge with a spoon and brought it to Zheng Jingyan's mouth, and said softly and considerately: "Brother Jing, are you hungry? This shredded pork porridge is delicious, you can eat some too !"

Zheng Jingyan seemed to have just recovered, turned his head to avoid it, and said, "Sister Yaozhen, let's eat, I came after dinner, I'm not hungry!"

Wang Yaozhen said aggrievedly: "Brother Jing dislikes me? We will be husband and wife in the future, can't we have a bowl of porridge together?"

Zheng Jingyan said: "I didn't dislike you, I... just wasn't hungry!"

Wang Yaozhen sent the porridge bowl back to Qing He: "It's boring to eat alone!"

Zheng Jingyan watched Qing He feeding Wang Yaozhen porridge, without taking a bite, frowning as if taking medicine, he couldn't help sighing: "If you don't eat well, how can you have the energy to go up to the mountain temple to offer incense tomorrow? Otherwise, why don't you go? "

Wang Yaozhen hurriedly said: "No, I'm going! Brother Jing, can you come and accompany me out of the city tomorrow morning?"

"I'm not free tomorrow, and I won't be able to accompany the old lady. I will ask Gan Song to escort the old lady and her party. When the time comes, he will arrange for the old lady and the others, and then come back to pick you up. When you return to the city, you can go all the way .”

Qing He next to him heard that Gan Song was picking him up, his eyes flickered slightly.

Wang Yaozhen was very disappointed. She originally wanted to ask Brother Jing to accompany her to the mountain temple in person, and then take her there to meet the elders. Brother Jing used to protect her, and the two of them appeared in front of everyone hand in hand, no matter who saw it, Everyone understands her weight.

In the future, if she enters Zheng's family, even if she is a concubine, who would dare to save her face?

Wang Yaozhen asked unwillingly: "Brother Jing, what is it that is so important that you can't even accompany the old lady for such a big event?"

Zheng Jingyan replied: "There are distinguished guests in the mansion visiting to discuss some matters, I have to wait at home!"

"Where is this distinguished guest? Are you on good terms with him?"

"um, yes."

Zheng Jingyan raised his eyes and looked out the window, and said, "It's late at night, it's time for sister Yaozhen to rest."

Wang Yaozhen held him reluctantly: "You have to wait for Gan Song to come back tomorrow to pick you up, and I don't have to get up early, Brother Jing will sit with me again!"

Zheng Jingyan said: "It's too late to go back, I'm afraid I will disturb people!"

Wang Yaozhen's face showed sadness, and she let go of his hand with tears in her eyes: "Brother Jing, let's go! Be careful, don't annoy the young lady!"

Zheng Jingyan got up silently, looked at Wang Yaozhen who shrugged her shoulders and sobbed softly, and sighed:
"Tomorrow you will see Xia Yiqing, she is a good-natured person...and a weak woman, this marriage...is not her fault!"

People had been away for a long time, Wang Yaozhen recovered from the daze, grabbed Qinghe's hand, and asked repeatedly: "Did you hear that? What did you hear him say? What does that mean?"

Qing He was also a little anxious, and said: "Girl, I heard what Hou Ye said. It seems that he is protecting the Xia family! If this is the case, what should the girl do? What hope do you have? I promised that soon after the girl enters the door, I will divorce the Xia family and help the girl to the right position!"

Wang Yaozhen didn't care that her nails almost got stuck in Qinghe's flesh, and murmured: "Impossible! It can't be like this! Absolutely not! Brother Jing treats me like no one else in the world! He is not willing to let me go!" I am a concubine, how can I be sad?"

Qing He cried out in pain from being pinched, gasped and said: "Girl, I said at the beginning: Master Hou was in love with you, he didn't want to marry Mrs Xia at that time, and he was thinking about retiring, but you were the one who said so earnestly." Persuading him to marry Mrs. Xia to be his young wife...Why bother? Now we are the losers!"

Wang Yaozhen let go of Qinghe, glared at her and said: "What do you know? I am still in the filial piety period and I can't move, and the old lady took her life to force Lord Hou to marry. If she doesn't marry the Xia family, the old lady will not be reconciled." I will immediately choose another 'Qiu family', 'Chun family' or even 'Dong family' for Lord Hou. I just look at this vulgar woman from the countryside who came from a small family of the Xia family. It's easy, so I'm trying to persuade him!"

"But now you see, what Hou Ye said just now is to take pity on her!"

Wang Yaozhen gritted her teeth: "I don't believe it! Tomorrow, I must have a good meeting with this Xia family!"
