White Hedge Dream

The carriage slowly stopped.

Zhuang Li slightly lifted the curtain and saw that it was at a street intersection.

"Your Majesty, you can come down now." Jiang Yun said outside.

Zhou Jingyun said to Zhuang Li, "I'm going to Ding Anbo's mansion. Please wait for a moment."

Zhuang Li said hello and watched Zhou Jingyun get out of the car.

Mother Xu drove up from behind with the car Xue Liu was sitting in. Zhou Jingyun didn't leave immediately and looked around.

"Jiang Yun, stay here." He said.

Jiang Yun was a little wary: "Your Majesty, is there any problem?"

Is that Shangguan Yue a problem?

Logically speaking, it was a chance encounter. Of course, there were many people who wanted to meet him by chance. It wouldn't be surprising even if he waited here specially, but this Shangguan Yue...

Zhou Jingyun couldn't tell, maybe he was overthinking.

But it's always a bit weird for a stranger to ask about someone else's wife in the third sentence.

Although Zhuang Li has never been to the capital, no one even around Mr. Zhuang knows her true identity.

But nothing in this world is foolproof.

"If anyone approaches the carriage, drive the young lady away immediately." Zhou Jingyun said.

Sure enough, there was a problem. Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows and held down the sword at his waist. He nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Zhou Jingyun then moved forward.

Chunyue also came from the car behind, accompanied Zhuang Li, lifted a corner of the car curtain and showed her the way: "Young madam, go inside and you will find Ding'an Bo's Mansion."

Zhuang Li nodded. She had walked here before. Although the dream was very different from reality, it was still somewhat familiar.

It's a pity that it could have been a safe place to stay for Hua Meng's night journey.

Seeing Zhuang Li's serious expression, Chun Yue hurriedly whispered: "Don't worry, young madam. Jiang Yun just told me that the prince just helped Ding'an's house resolve the matter with General Li. Ding'an and his wife will not treat him badly." Even if you say something unpleasant with a straight face, you won’t refuse, after all, Xue Liu made the mistake first.”

Zhuang Li nodded: "I'm not worried." He looked in the direction of Ding'an Bo's Mansion and smiled slightly, "On the contrary, I'm looking forward to it."

expect? What to expect? Chun Yue was puzzled.

…

…

Seeing Zhou Jingyun sending Xue Liu back, Ding'anbo and his wife naturally darkened their faces, but after all, they had just run and worked hard, so they couldn't say bad things.

Moreover, Li Julang has not been buried yet, so this matter is not settled. If General Li is grief-stricken while waiting for the funeral and has trouble getting through with them, Zhou Jingyun will have to step in to stop him.

The flowers were sent by Zhou Jingyun's wife, but it was Lu Wenjie who sent them to Li Shilang. If they really wanted to break up with each other, Zhou Jingyun would be able to throw them away, after all, it was too ridiculous to ask questions about a dried flower.

But Lu Wenjie couldn't explain clearly. General Li bit him and insisted that Lu Wenjie had poisoned him. There was nothing they could do and they really couldn't afford to offend him.

After all, she was a maid, so she couldn't offend Zhou Jingyun.

Although she could not offend Zhou Jingyun, Mrs. Ding'anbo was not at all polite to Xue Liu.

"You stupid maid!" she yelled, grabbing the good book on the table, tearing it up and throwing it on Xue Liu, "You can't even fight an orphan girl from the country, so what use are you!"

Lu Jin sighed beside him.

"The orphan girl is so confident, no wonder Xue Liu can't do anything about it," she said.

Unexpectedly, even after urging Xue Liu to cry to Zhou Jingyun, he could not make Zhou Jingyun relent. He even refused to stay with Mrs. Dongyang Hou and drove him back directly.

This man is so passionate and ruthless.

He is passionate about the people he likes, such as the third sister and Mr. Zhuang, but he is ruthless to those who hinder the people he likes.

What to do?

She looked at Xue Liu who was kneeling on the ground crying, and frowned slightly.

"But Xue Liu, you shouldn't come back. It's better to stay in the Hou Mansion to be married while Mrs. Hou owes you."

Mrs. Ding'anbo scolded: "What a beautiful idea!"

Xue Liu raised her head and said with tears, "Madam, I have something important to report when I come back."

Mrs. Ding'anbo scolded angrily: "They've all been expelled, and they don't even know what a big deal it is."

From now on, the Dongyang Marquis Mansion has lost half of its eyeliners and has completely cut off contact.

"Madam." Xue Liu knelt down and took a step forward, "That Zhuang family was so arrogant that she didn't take the Third Miss, Ding'an Bo's Mansion, nor the Empress in her eyes. She tore up all the rewards given by the Empress. Thrown into the water."

After saying that, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it and held it up. What?

Mrs. Ding'anbo and Lu Jin both looked over and saw that it was a palace flower, but the silk cloth had been torn and turned into a fallen flower.

Lu Jin was the first to react and stood up with a cry: "This is the queen's real palace flower."

Mrs. Ding'anbo also came to her senses and sat up straight. She was the palace beauty who had prevented her from speaking ill of Mr. Zhuang in front of the queen!

"Did Mr. Zhuang do it?" she asked.

Xue Liu nodded, her eyes full of hatred: "I saw her throw it in with my own eyes, and I fished it out of the lake with my own hands."

She said and kowtowed heavily again.

"I came back to ask Madam to let me go to the Queen to accuse Mr. Zhuang of his treason!"

Destroying the things given by the emperor is a much more serious crime than disobeying your mother-in-law at home. This is a true crime of treason!

Mrs. Ding'anbo's eyes flickered, and Lu Jin couldn't help but clenched his hand.

…

…

This time the Xue family had no guests.

Mrs. Xue even only said a few words before letting Zhou Jingyun and Zhuang Li go with Mrs. Xue. It seemed that she was afraid that if she said something wrong, Zhuang Li would tell Lao Dan again.

Looking at Zhou Jingyun and Zhuang Li standing side by side, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but wipe away her tears: "Okay, okay, I feel relieved to see you have someone by your side."

Miss Xue Qi shook her shoulders and said, "Mom, if you are happy, let's start dinner quickly."

Mrs. Xue was amused again and scolded: "So greedy."

"I'm doing it for the prince's brother. It's been a long time since the prince's brother has eaten from our family. He must miss him very much." Miss Xue Qi said with a smile.

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "Yes, I especially want to eat the steamed fish from my aunt's house."

Mrs. Xue said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, they are all what you like to eat."

Miss Xue Qi ran to Zhuang Li again and held her arm: "Sister-in-law, what kind of food do you like to eat?"

Zhuang Li said with a smile: "Last time I came and went in a hurry, I didn't taste your food. This time I will try it carefully and choose the one I like best."

Miss Xue Qi hurriedly said: "You can try the crab meat and lion head later. I think it is the most delicious."

Zhuang Li smiled and nodded and said hello.

Zhou Jingyun looked at them talking, a little surprised, and worried that she would be reserved here. He didn't expect that he was so familiar with the sisters after only being here once.

Mrs. Xue followed his line of sight and smiled: "Don't worry, I can be liked by you, and I am bound to be liked by others as well."

Zhou Jingyun felt a little embarrassed and looked away.

She was still shy, which showed that she really liked her. Mrs. Xue smiled again and ordered the food to be served.

Although it was just a family banquet, two tables were set up in a lively manner, one for women and one for men.

In addition to the first room of the Xue family, Mr. Xue Si and Miss Xue Wu from the second room also came over.

"Uncle and aunt, don't blame us for being greedy." Miss Xue Wu said, "I really want to see the crown prince and the young lady."

Fourth Young Master Xue even paid homage to Zhou Jingyun: "Your Majesty is truly our benefactor, a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering."

Zhou Jingyun laughed: "Don't talk nonsense."

"There is no nonsense." Mr. Xue said, "Shang Guanyue has told all of us. Your Majesty, you visited General Li and explained the truth to this old man. It was Li Shilang's fault. We are really innocent. Implicated—"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xue yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mrs. Xue also frowned: "Didn't I say you are not allowed to have contact with Guanyue? If your father doesn't care about you, then we will take care of you."

Fourth Young Master Xue hurriedly apologized, but he winked at Zhou Jingyun and bowed repeatedly.

Zhou Jingyun smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I just went to ask about the situation and didn't do anything."

Mrs. Xue didn't want to continue this topic: "It's a happy day, why are you bringing this up? If you don't want to eat, go and read quickly."

Miss Xue Wu glared at Mr. Xue Si, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhuang Li in her arms: "Sister-in-law, I'll sit next to you."

Miss Xue Qi quickly hugged Zhuang Li and said, "Sister-in-law, sit with me."

Mrs. Xue stepped forward and took Zhuang Li's hand: "Both of you, sit by yourselves."

Miss Xue Qi grabbed Miss Xue Wu and sighed: "Now that my sister-in-law is here, my mother will no longer care about pampering us."

The people in the room were amused and laughed again.

Just as she was sitting down to eat, Mrs. Xue's housekeeper hurried in with her mother Huang.

"Young Master, Madam, please go back first," she said, "Someone is coming from the palace."
