slave like jade

Chapter 158
Chen Ma thanked Chen Yanfei and led Chen Yanfei away, while Yu Ruyan continued to sit in the gazebo, watching them leave in silence.

Chen Ma led Chen Yanfei back to her bungalow and simply packed her luggage. Seeing that Chen Yanfei kept her head bowed in silence, she couldn't help asking her if she wanted to go back to the Yingchun Courtyard where she lived to pack her luggage.

Chen Yanfei sneered and said, "There's nothing to clean up, it's always there, can someone else take it away?"

Hearing this, Chen Ma's heart sank with a 'thump', she turned her head and looked at her fixedly, she couldn't believe it and said: "You...you still don't give up and change now? It's heaven that the princess is willing to let us leave the mansion Great grace, one must know how to be grateful..."

Seeing that her mother was going to teach herself endlessly again, Chen Yanfei's lowered eyes flashed a look of disgust, and said coldly: "Don't worry about it here, what I mean is that the things in Yingchun Courtyard are from the family. Yes, how can I take it away!"

Hearing what she said, Chen's mother was relieved. She was most afraid that Chen Yanfei would not give up and leave, so she smiled comfortably, stepped forward to touch her chapped and bleeding hands lovingly, and sighed: "When you get out, take good care of her. It will be back to how it was before.”

Chen Yanfei listened with a blank face, his expression was dull, but the fierceness hidden in his eyes became more and more intense!
The mother and daughter walked to the gate of the mansion with their bundles, just in time to bump into the copper coins coming back from outside the mansion, holding a bag of things in their hands, which seemed to be food, exuding a sweet fragrance.

The copper coin was stunned when he saw Chen Yanfei's expression. He heard that she was thrown into the handyman's room on the first day the princess entered the mansion. The princess allowed them to leave the house.

When Chen Yanfei saw the copper coin, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but he glanced at him coldly with a very cold expression.

Chen Ma has always felt guilty about the copper coin because of her feelings for cheating the copper coin before. In private, she personally made two pairs of shoes for the copper coin and helped him mend his clothes, so the copper coin has a good impression on Chen Ma.

Seeing that Chen Ma was leaving, after hesitating for a while, Tong Qian finally went up to Chen Ma and said, "Chen Ma, has the princess allowed you to leave the mansion?"

In fact, Chen Ma liked the honest and prudent young man in front of her very much, thinking that if Yan Fei could be with him back then, wouldn't it be better than the current misery...

Feeling sore and warm in her heart, Chen Ma held the hand of the copper coin and said with reluctance: "Yes, Princess Grace, allowed me to leave the house with Yan'er, and also gave me a lot of silver taels. Chen Ma left, you are a good boy, In the future, work hard for His Highness and get married early..."

Tong Qianhan nodded with a smile, and said: "You also take care of your health, and go back to the palace to visit when you have time."

When the two were talking, Chen Yanfei kept turning his body and ignored her, and he didn't want to see her, so he said goodbye to Chen Ma and went into the mansion.

Standing on the high steps at the entrance of the mansion, Chen Yanfei turned her head and stared blankly at the dazzling door plaque on the lintel of the Three Kings' Mansion. She was reluctant to move for a long time. Standing beside her, Chen Ma sighed slightly, and said quietly: "Daughter, you regretted it ?”

Chen Yanfei's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "What do I regret?"

Chen Ma said: "Do you regret that you did those wrong things at the beginning and insisted on becoming His Highness's person? Do you regret that you let down a good man like Tongqian, missed your own good marriage, and ended up in this miserable end..."

"Stop it!" Chen Yanfei yelled and interrupted Chen Ma's words. She looked back at Chen Ma coldly and said sharply, "I don't regret it, I don't regret everything I did. I only hate what I did at the beginning. It is not vicious enough to become king and loser, and end up like this today."

"You..." Chen Ma stared at Chen Yanfei who had a hideous face, and said in a trembling voice, "You... mean you haven't given up yet?!"

"Why should I give up."

Chen Yanfei stared at Chen Ma fiercely, and sneered coldly: "Could it be that in your mind, your own daughter can only be matched with a servant boy from a humble background? The woman in the back house is more thoughtful than me , isn’t it all conspiracies and tricks? Why can’t they use tricks to get in the position? You are stupid, and you were bought by that bitch with a little favor, I won’t!”

After all, she left Mama Chen behind and ran away, Mama Chen chased after her and asked her where she was going?Without turning her head, she said: "I want to go to the palace to see my father, I want to go to the East Palace!"

Only when she enters the East Palace, will she have the chance to meet Mu Lingzhi again, and then she will have the chance to return to the Three Princes' Mansion...

In the gazebo, Brother An stepped forward to fill Yu Ruyan's tea bowl with tea, and sighed: "After all, the princess is too kind, and Chen Yanfei didn't seem to change her mind at first glance, the princess is still willing to let her go, really... ..."

Chen Yanfei's stubbornness remained unchanged, and Yu Ruyan couldn't see it, but she didn't want to argue with her anymore.

Yu Ruyan said indifferently: "For such a person, it's best to see what's out of sight!"

Of course Yu Ruyan didn't know what Chen Yanfei was planning. Looking at the sun, she stood up and led An Ge back, but saw the shadow of a flower outside the gazebo.

Huaying stood quietly in front of her in a misty and rainy Sichuan embroidered smoked blouse, her slender eyebrows and eyes were like cages in the thinnest morning light in the south of the Yangtze River. gone."

Seeing that it was her, Yu Ruyan smiled knowingly, and walked a few steps closer to her, her description was also vague, and she smiled slightly: "Thank you, Sister Hua, for worrying about me."

Yu Ruyan Huaying said of course understands that the female family members of the palace are already withered, Gu Qinger and Kuang Qinqin are dead, and there are only four concubines left. Now that Chen Yanfei let her out of the palace, she had good intentions. In the eyes of outsiders, it was her, the quasi-princess of the Three Princes' Palace, who started to eliminate dissidents and clear Mu Lingzhi's back house.

Since Kuang Qinqin's accident, Huaying seldom showed up in front of the public. She didn't show up when the two of An's quarreled so much at the entrance of Yunsong Courtyard. Like the hermit in the palace, she was almost forgotten by everyone.

She sighed: "How can a concubine worry about the princess? It's just not worth it for the princess. For a person like her, the princess can completely let her fend for herself in the handyman's room. Let her go out of the house this time, I'm afraid she will not only You won't be grateful, and you will wait for the opportunity. Besides, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know about this matter, it's the princess' fault. You can't get any benefit from doing a good deed, why bother the princess?"

Yu Ruyan smiled slowly and said, "I didn't expect that sister is the person who understands the palace the most."

There was a rosy glow on Huaying's face, and she said softly, "That's ridiculous", seeing that she didn't take this matter to heart, so she said: "I just happened to take a walk here and saw the princess, come here to chat Two sentences. Don't bother the princess, just step back first."

After finishing speaking, he led the girl Yue Ya'er to bow to Yu Ruyan and leave.

Looking at her slightly lonely background, thinking of her living alone in the small Narcissus Courtyard with no one to rely on, she really couldn't bear it, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but said: "Sister, there are family members outside the house, or What vision does my sister have in mind?"

Hearing this, Huaying stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Yu Ruyan with a smile, and said with a knowing smile: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but unfortunately, I am a maid of the palace, my parents died early, and I have no brothers or sisters. I know that the concubine understands the concubine's loneliness in the palace, but I am fine now, I can live comfortably without worrying about food and clothing, I have nothing else to ask for."

Seeing what she said, Yu Ruyan naturally wouldn't force her, and led An Ge back to Yunsong Courtyard from the other side.

Back at Yunsong Courtyard, Yu Ruyan was tired, and seeing that Mu Lingzhi hadn't returned from the palace, she went to take a rest on the soft couch.

Brother An stayed by the couch and dozed off with her, Dongcao walked in from the door cautiously on tiptoe, extremely careful

Woke up Brother An, and whispered quietly in her ear, Brother An suddenly had a red cloud on his face, looked at Yu Ruyan on the couch, and left a little worried, Dongcao smiled and whispered: " You go, master, I will help you guard here."

But last night was the night of Dongcao's watch, and Brother An was too embarrassed to let her do it. Dongcao had already pushed her to the door, and smiled carefully: "Go, everyone has been waiting outside for a long time, and I will come back later." Your Highness is waiting by your side."

When Brother An walked out of the room, he saw Tongqin walking back and forth in the corridor anxiously, holding a ball in his arms, he didn't know what it was.

Seeing her coming out, Tong Qian happily stuffed what was in her hand into her hand and said, "This is a chestnut I bought at the corner of the street when I just came back. It is just out of the pot, but it is delicious!"

Hearing that they were freshly cooked chestnuts, An Ge unceremoniously opened the paper bag, picked it up, and stuffed it into his mouth. His little tiger teeth gnawed hard on the chestnut shell, eating it so happily.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Tong Qian was also happy, and said: "I came back to help His Highness fetch things, and I will go to the palace soon, eat slowly, don't choke."

Brother An nodded earnestly while hugging the chestnut, and said: "You tell His Highness to come back early, the princess is too boring to eat alone, and it will be lively with His Highness."

Tongqinhan nodded with a smile and went to the study to get something for Mu Lingzhi. Before leaving the door, he turned back and asked Brother An, "Is there anything else you want to eat? I will buy it for you when I come back with His Highness tonight."

Brother An thought about it while eating chestnuts seriously, and said for a moment: "Well... Wu Ji's fried melon seeds are also delicious, you can buy them for me at night, and I will count the money for the chestnuts and melon seeds to you at night."

But the copper coin shook his head and walked away, saying as he walked, "I don't want your money. If you want money, I won't buy it for you!"

Brother An called him to stop, he turned around for no reason, and a chestnut was quickly stuffed into his mouth by Brother An, she said shyly, "You come back earlier too!"

The copper coin was as sweet as honey in his heart, and he happily accepted it and left.

When Brother An was sitting on the porch and was eating heartily with chestnuts in his arms, the servant at the back door of the palace sent her a letter. Brother An took the envelope and looked at it, but on it was written "Designed by the Third Princess". Seeing this, Brother An couldn't help showing a suspicious expression on his face—who else in this eastern city would write letters to his princess?
Stop the messenger boy and ask him who sent the letter.

The boy told her that it was a little girl who didn't know her face and sent it to the back door, and he just begged him to deliver the letter to the princess, saying that she was waiting for her to save her life.

Brother An was even more confused when he heard it, and quickly put away the letter properly, put away the chestnuts, clapped his hands and entered the house.

When she entered the room, Yu Ruyan just woke up, and Dongcao was waiting for her to get up.

Brother An handed the letter to her, and told her exactly what the porter boy said.

Hearing this, Yu Ru's face darkened, and she immediately unwrapped the envelope and looked at it. The more she looked, the more solemn her face became!
The letter was not long, and it took only a few lines to read, but Yu Ruyan stared at the signed signature for a long time, without moving, as if she was lost in thought.

Brother An saw that she looked wrong, so he couldn't help asking her what's wrong?
Yu Ruyan silently put away the letter, and did not reply to her, but asked her if His Highness came back.Brother An replied: "Not yet, but the copper coins came back to fetch things for His Highness and then went into the palace."

Sighing secretly, Yu Ruyan knew that he was going to be late again today.

Brother An took out the chestnuts bought with copper coins and peeled them for Yu Ruyan to eat. Yu Ruyan was a little surprised and said, "You just went out of the house to buy chestnuts to eat? No wonder I didn't see you in the house when I woke up."

His face flushed, before Brother An opened his mouth, Dongcao laughed and said, "Master has wronged Sister An, this chestnut was specially bought for her by Brother Tongqian when he came back."

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's hand holding the chestnut was slightly stagnant, and she looked sideways at Brother An, but seeing her happy expression, her heart sank slightly: "When did you have such a good relationship with the copper coin? He actually I bought you food specially!"

Unknowingly, Brother An's face showed a little shyness of a little daughter's family, and Yu Ruyan was even more startled when he saw it, only to hear her smile shyly: "Brother Tongqian has always been very kind, he is very kind to everyone in the courtyard. People are very nice..."

"That's right, I'm so kind to Sister An!" Dongcao joked on the sidelines.

Brother An's face was filled with a shy red glow, and the two girls began to fight each other with each other.

Silently looking at the shyness and joy on An Ge's face, Yu Ruyan felt a twinge of pain in her heart, and her expression became extraordinarily dignified.

As the evening approached, Mu Lingzhi came back with the copper coins. As soon as she entered the door, Yu Ruyan saw that the copper coins were holding a small bag of things in her hand, and her eyes went straight to An Ge who was beside her.

Turning her head slightly, she saw that Brother An was also smiling happily at him, Yu Ruyan felt heavy in her heart.But in front of Mu Lingzhi, she suppressed her thoughts, arranged for the kitchen to serve meals, and chatted with Mu Lingzhi while eating.

After dinner, while Mu Lingzhi was taking a bath, Yu Ruyan called the copper coins into the room, and told An Ge and Dongcao to avoid them, leaving only her and the copper coins in the room.

Seeing Brother An and Dongcao avoiding both, Tong Qian suddenly felt tense. He looked at Yu Ruyan in a daze, and saw her sitting upright with a serious and indifferent face, looking at him unblinkingly. He panicked inexplicably.

"Princess...what's the point of looking for a humble job?" Tong Qian thought carefully about what she had done recently, but couldn't think of what she had done wrong to make her angry, and finally couldn't help but speak timidly.

"You...but fell in love with Brother An?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Ruyan finally asked what was in her heart, or rather, it was the worry in her heart.

Hearing the copper coin, his expression was startled, his face immediately turned red, he scratched his head and smiled innocently, although he didn't answer her directly, but the description on his face showed the answer, he really fell in love with Brother An!

Yu Ruyan's heart sank, and she said in a serious tone: "What do you like about Brother An... How long have you liked her?"

Tong Qian was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know, anyway, I fell in love with her every day when I was with her... I like her for a long time... I especially like her pair of small canine teeth, and I also like the way she eats. , I like the way he walks and talks..."

"Copper money, I object to you being together, you... Let go, don't pester her anymore."

Seeing Tongqian counting the things she likes An Ge happily, Yu Ruyan's heart is about to break. A long time ago, she wished so much for an honest person like Tongqian who she could rely on to marry An Ge. Form a happy little family.But now, she doesn't want Brother An to marry anymore. In her heart, Brother An can only follow her so that he won't suffer any more pain...

"Princess...why..." Yu Ruyan's words completely shocked the copper coins. He looked at Yu Ruyan with a look of absolute disbelief in disbelief. He never expected that the princess who had always been good to him would Oppose him to be with An Ge.

"Could it be that the princess has forgotten that in order to comfort me during the matter of the Chen family, the princess promised to introduce me to a good girl in the future, but now why do she object to my liking brother An? Best girl ever..."

Tong Qian looked at Yu Ruyan in disbelief, so shocked that his voice became agitated.

Looking at the shocked and disappointed copper coin, Yu Ruyan didn't know how to tell him about Brother An's work in the brothel, and the fact that she couldn't have children in this life...

Every time she thinks of these things, she feels heartbroken for Brother An, and she can't bear to say it again, especially the fact that she can no longer be a mother. Except for Yue Yu and she knows, she has never mentioned it to anyone, including Brother An For herself and Mu Lingzhi, this is her eternal guilt and heartache for Brother An. She doesn't want anyone to hurt Brother An again.

"Bong Qian, does Brother An like you?" Yu Ruyan did not answer Tong Qian's words for a long time, but after a long time, she feebly asked another worry in her heart.

Because of her objection, Tong Qian's face was ashen, and he said in a muffled voice: "Although I haven't told her explicitly, but... But I think she doesn't hate me. Every time we spend the night together, we have a good chat. She He will talk to me about everything, and he gets along very well with me... I think that as long as the princess doesn't object, we will definitely get together..."

"Did she tell you about her being in a brothel before?" Yu Ruyan finally asked after gritting her teeth in order to make the copper money give up.

Hearing this, the copper coin opened its mouth in disbelief and couldn't make a sound, petrified on the spot.

Seeing his description, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart. Although Brother An is honest, he is not stupid, he knows what to say and what not to say.

She suppressed the pain in her heart and said slowly: "When I first entered the palace, I was tricked by Mu Ziyue and sold into the Qinxiang Tower. Later, I escaped, and it was Brother An who rescued me... At that time, she In Qinxiang Building!"

"I don't believe it!" The copper coin was hit hard. He suddenly thought of something, stared straight at Yu Ruyan and said loudly: "If she was in Qin Xianglou in Daliang, why didn't you bring her to the palace, she is you The servant girl who has been with you since I was a child, I know that the princess dislikes me, and she doesn't want Brother An to say such things to me to deceive me..."

"Before I stayed in the palace as a servant, how could I bring her by my side... If you don't believe me, you can go to Jing Zhaoyin's prison and ask Liu Mazi who was locked up. Didn't I ask you to arrest him last time?" Send it to Mr. Wang to interrogate the woman he trafficked, go and look up his confession, I believe Brother An is also one of the women he trafficked..."

Yu Ruyan told An Ge's unbearable past in person, which actually hurt her heart more than anyone else, but she had to do it.

Instead of waiting until the day when An Ge and Tongqian fall in love and cannot extricate themselves, and let Tongqian know everything and abandon her, it is better to let her be the ruthless sword that cuts off their love right now.In her heart, she does not allow anyone to hurt brother An in any way.

Copper Coin fell into a nightmare-like daze, and was speechless for a while.Yu Ruyan has been paying close attention to his descriptions, not letting go of every struggling and changing expression on his face.

The room suddenly fell into a deathly silence...

For a long time, when Yu Ruyan thought that the copper coins were about to be given up, he did not expect that he blushed and said firmly, "Princess, I know you are worried that I will dislike Brother An when I know all this. If I say I don't care I pity her for everything she has done in Qin Xianglou, and I pity her for what she has suffered and suffered, but I still like her, will the concubine still object to me being with her?"

Her whole body shook, but this time it was Yu Ruyan's turn to be shocked.

She never expected that after knowing all this, Tong Qian would still not let go of her feelings for An Ge, and Yu Ruyan's heart was filled with surprises, sourness and joy welling up in her heart at the same time, making her speechless for a while .

Seeing that Yu Ruyan's expression began to loosen, the copper coin said again: "I don't know what happened to Brother An before, but I know that she definitely didn't do it voluntarily, so I don't mind her past. All I know is that I like her, and I hope to live happily with her in the future, live the most ordinary life, have children, and establish our family..."

Yu Ruyan was about to agree to Tong Qian's request and allow the two of them to be together, but the words of Tong Qian's "bear children" brought her back to reality, and her heart ached again...

"Princess, do you agree?" After the copper coin expressed her attitude firmly, she waited for Yu Ruyan's agreement with hope, but she still shook her head and refused, and the words she said with a pale face hit the copper coin mercilessly again. fall--

"Copper money, if...if I tell you that Brother An has lost the qualifications to be a mother because of what happened before, and he will not be able to bear children for you in this life... Would you still accept her?"

The copper coin staggered all over, and was shocked again!
However, before he could answer, there was a sudden "bang" sound outside the window and he fell to the ground, followed by Dongcao's exclamation of "Sister An"...

When Yu Ruyan heard it, the blood in her whole body instantly flowed backward——

It's over, Brother An was eavesdropping outside!
