peasant young lady

Chapter 290 Killing is just a matter of getting used to it
In the house, Xiaolong, who had just been praised by his wife, was bouncing out of the study to play, but when he saw Cheng Xia approaching, he rushed towards her.

Cheng Xia quickly picked up the little bomb, walked to the carriage that followed her, and opened the curtain to let Yang Lihua get out of the carriage.

When Xiaolong saw Yang Lihua who had come down, his eyes widened immediately, he raised his hand in disbelief and pinched his face, and swallowed hard, "Ma'am, is this my aunt?"

When Yang Lihua saw Xiaolong, the corners of her eyes were moist. She reached out and hugged Xiaolong, hugged him tightly, and said in a choked voice, "I am my aunt, I am Xiaolong's aunt."

"Auntie," Xiaolong sobbed, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Children don't hold grudges very much, besides, Yang Lihua has been missing for so long, Xiaolong can't remember the excessive things she did, and now seeing her again, he just feels kind and tight.

He has no mother, and his father and grandma don't love him, so he is naturally happy to see his relatives now.

"Okay, okay, Xiaolong stopped crying, my aunt is back." Yang Lihua wiped away the tears on Xiaolong's face. Cheng Xia saw the faint anxious look on her brows, and knew that she was really in a hurry, so she asked Xiaolong to go first. After playing for a while, he brought Yang Lihua to his room.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Xia couldn't help asking when Yang Lihua came in and closed the door first.

"Sister-in-law, I actually came to look for my brother, but he went to court, so I wanted to tell you the same thing, but you never came back. It's rare for me to have half a day to move around freely, and it was almost wasted. "

Cheng Xia knew that she was waiting at the gate of the Shao Mansion, risking being discovered by Wang Qingwan, and waiting for them. She must have something important to say, but now that the application time has passed, Cheng Xia waved Yang Lihua to sit down first, " Since you are looking for your elder brother, you wait for a while, I will go back and call your elder brother, and I will come back soon."

Cheng Xia quickly arrived at Shao's house, and saw Shao Chen enter Leng Cuixuan's door, just took off his court clothes, and changed into a navy blue long gown.

As soon as he put on his belt, he saw Cheng Xia pushing the door and coming in, with sweat dripping from his forehead and panting slightly, Shao Chen was taken aback, pulled her over to wipe the sweat off her face, and reprimanded him softly , "The weather is so cold now, you can still sweat out, what should you do if you catch the cold?"

"Oh, I'm fine." Cheng Xia anxiously pulled Shao Chen out, "Lihua is here, and she's in that house now. I think she has something urgent to do with you. Come with me to have a look."

"Okay, okay," Shao Chen smiled helplessly, "Don't run away, I'll go with you right away."

When she arrived at the house, Yang Lihua couldn't wait a long time ago, it was getting late, she had to go back as soon as possible, otherwise Wang Yue would find out.

Seeing Shao Chen push the door in, Yang Lihua hurriedly said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

"Tell me," Shao Chen said unhurriedly.

Yang Lihua stabilized her mind, and then said, "Wang Yue will be back at about the same time after the morning court every day, but today he didn't arrive at the palace until [-]:[-] noon, and Wang Yue didn't come back until after noon. Very happy, very very happy.”

Shao Chen and Cheng Xia looked at each other, and Cheng Xia asked leisurely, "But what did His Majesty leave him alone to say?"

"That's right," Yang Lihua nodded affirmatively, "Wang Yue brought a few colleagues with him when he came back, and he ordered the kitchen to serve them with delicious food and drink, and they were so dizzy from drinking that they didn't know where to go. I often serve Wang Yue's meals on weekdays. When serving food and wine for them at noon today, I heard Wang Yue drunkenly say that once this year's Spring Festival is over, he will go to the north to fight."

"War?" Shao Chen asked in surprise. His Majesty didn't mention this matter in the early court today. If it was really an emergency at the border, it should be to call all the officials to discuss this matter, not just tell Wang Yue alone. ah.

"Yes," Yang Lihua continued, "they were indeed talking about war. After Wang Yue finished speaking, one of his men cautiously told Wang Yue that I was still at the scene and shouldn't hear such confidential things. Fortunately, Wang Yue The more I said that I was very reliable, I had no background at all, and I would not leak any news, so they were relieved." Yang Lihua still felt chills when she thought of the eyes of those staff who wanted to kill her.

Cheng Xia sat beside Yang Lihua, shook her hand, and warmed her, "And then?"

"Then, from their conversations, I generally know that it is the Oala in the north or the Tatar civil strife. Their power has been weakened a lot. Some of them started to rob our northern mansions because they could not afford food and clothing. County, and more and more presumptuous, His Majesty did not bring this matter up to the court, but wanted to teach Wala a lesson and let Wang Yue go and end them."

In this way, Shao Chen understood that His Majesty wanted to catch them by surprise and catch them off guard, but, "Why did you tell me in such a hurry?" Based on this matter alone, it has nothing to do with him.

"That's right," Yang Lihua said anxiously, "When Wang Yue finally got drunk and his tongue grew big, he told those people that he would take his eldest brother with him when he went to the battlefield, so as to teach you a lesson."

Cheng Xia suddenly turned to look at Shao Chen, then frowned and stared at Yang Lihua, "Why is that?" Did Wang Yue have a convulsion?
Yang Lihua sighed, "Isn't it because Wang Yue thinks that elder brother treats Wang Qingwan badly? He thinks that his precious granddaughter married to Shao's mansion, but always shed tears. Wang Yue feels distressed and wants to vent his anger on his granddaughter. "

Uh, Cheng Xia pursed her lips, "Why is your eldest brother treating Wang Qingwan badly? Now he often goes to Wang Qingwan's Wanfeng Pavilion for dinner."

Seeing Cheng Xia's angry and strange look, Shao Chen sighed helplessly, "Lihua, go ahead."

Yang Lihua scanned Shao Chen and Cheng Xia non-stop, and finally took a breath and said, "Brother, I think Wang Yue wants to impress you and let you know how powerful he is. Another point is that I I guessed it myself, but based on my understanding of Wang Yue during this period of time, I think it is very possible."

"What?" Shao Chen asked following Yang Lihua's words.

"He took you away from the capital to the battlefield, and my sister-in-law is the only one in the capital. If they do something at that time, it is very likely that you will not see my sister-in-law when you come back from the battlefield." This is Yang Lihua's guess is most likely the real purpose in Wang Yue's heart.

Cheng Xia sneered, it's ridiculous, what are they trying to do, while Yang Dalang is not in the capital, let him quietly turn into a pile of loess?Then when he died, Shao Chen would have to accept Wang Qingwan, right?Really think that I am a fool, just play along with them.

After hearing Yang Lihua's words, Shao Chen turned cold. He held Cheng Xia's hand tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go.

Cheng Xia patted Shao Chen's hand amusedly, "Why are you holding on so tightly, me," Cheng Xia patted his chest, "I'm Cheng Xia, I'm happy with how many people tried to harm me when I was in Qingxian Village. Come here, I have nothing to fear."

Shao Chen sighed, "But this is not Qingxian Village, this is the capital where powerful people hold the power of life and death."

"Then I'm not afraid," Cheng Xia snorted coldly, "No matter where I am, I will not let people who plot against me take advantage of me, not anyone." If someone wants to make a fuss about her, if she doesn't keep it right, that person will disappear without a trace.

If you do a lot of things like killing people, you will become proficient.

In this kind of feudal society, there is often no kingly law at all. Since the reason cannot be explained clearly, then the most primitive means should be used to solve it.

Cheng Xia looked up at Yang Lihua, and asked worriedly, "You sneaked out of the palace like this, and you still drive the carriage of the palace, what if Wang Yue finds out?"

Yang Lihua smiled, "Sister-in-law still cares about me." Seeing Cheng Xia staring at her coldly for a moment, Yang Lihua quickly smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. Wang Yue is happy today. I went out for a stroll and gave everyone five taels of silver, so I was free. As for the coachman, he was a man I accidentally rescued on the road when I came to the capital with Wang Yue. No, it’s just because he was a mute, he was abandoned by his family when he was a child, and he was often beaten when he was working in the city. I felt soft-hearted at the time, so I begged Wang Yue to save him. Later, he became my coachman. Don’t worry, my sister-in-law. , he won't say anything."

Cheng Xia turned around and looked into the yard from the window, and saw that the man was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed and resting. He looked about 20 years old, and his facial features were quite handsome.That's good too, Cheng Xia was a little relieved.

"Sister-in-law," Yang Lihua said suddenly, a little embarrassed, "I have something I want to talk to my elder brother."

"What?" Cheng Xia was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant, but she reacted instantly, and quickly got up and waved her hands, "You want to talk to your elder brother in private, I understand, I'll go outside and talk to my sister-in-law Conversation, waiting for you outside."

Cheng Xia walked out the door pouting, closed the door and glared bitterly. What's the secret? She even said behind her back, hum.

Cheng Xia went to find Da Hua, and looked at the chili seeds that Da Hua brought back. Cheng Xia was stunned, it was really heavy, at least twenty or thirty catties.At the beginning, Cheng Xia always selected the plumpest seeds and reserved them. If they were planted, the yield would not be low.

If two catties of seeds are planted per acre of land, how can these be planted to [-] mu? As for other open spaces, it is good to plant some flowers, fruit trees and the like.

"Little sister, have you decided what to do in the restaurant for a living?" Dahua asked while making Cheng You's waistcoat.

Cheng Xia nuzzled, "Not yet, I thought about it all afternoon and couldn't figure out why."

Dahua smiled and put down the needle and thread in her hand, "I have an idea, can you see if it works?"

"What?" Cheng Xia grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his mouth.

"I still remember that in Zhushe, you made hot pot and asked us to eat it. I didn't eat it with you at the time, but I saw it at that time. If you think it's suitable, we can make hot pot."

Cheng Xia clapped her hands suddenly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

As soon as she was confirmed, she heard the neighing of a horse from outside, Yang Lihua was leaving, Cheng Xia hurried out to see her off.

Watching the carriage go away, Cheng Xia looked at Shao Chen with a very bad expression, but before she could say anything, Shao Chen sighed and changed the subject, "The empress will let you enter the palace tomorrow."
