As soon as Xiao Mo entered the inner room, he saw Ye Jintang, dressed lightly, standing by the window with one hand raised high.

The little green snake hanging on her wrist was about to fall to the ground, and was trying to stretch its neck, trying to climb back onto Ye Jintang's wrist.

"Jintang, don't be afraid, I'll help you get the little green snake down."

Xiao Mo stepped forward, stretched out his hand, grabbed the little green snake's vital point, and threw it directly out of the window.

Snowball had been squatting outside the window with a resentful look on its face, but it didn't expect that its food would fall from the sky in just a short while.

Before the little green snake landed on the ground, it was picked up by a snowball and bitten away in mid-air.

Ye Jintang, who was rescued, patted her chest with lingering fear. She was really scared to death just now.

"Jintang, have some tea to calm your nerves."

Xiao Mo poured Ye Jintang a cup of cold tea. She was really scared just now and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"After spending two days with the little green snake, I am still extremely afraid of snakes. Oh my God, why are there such scary creatures as snakes in the world?"

Ye Jintang drank all the herbal tea in one breath, and only then did he feel a little better.

But she always felt a chill on her wrist.

"Take your time, we still have time."

“It’s already July and we’re running out of time.”

At this point Ye Jintang suddenly realized that it was already summer, so she also changed into light summer clothes.

Just now, she took off her coat while reading the medical book.

At this moment, she was only wearing a strapless long dress, with her shoulders empty.

Ye Jintang only felt her old face flushed, and pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I am still feeling a little uncomfortable, so I won't disturb Your Majesty's rest."

I don’t know if Xiao Mo has lost his mind, but he has to go back to his room for a nap every day at noon.

There was clearly a small cubicle in his study where he could sleep, but he came over here to cause trouble.

"Well, you're fine."

Xiao Mo was chased out of the inner room by Ye Jintang, only to see Luzhu and Lianqiao standing in the outer room, covering their mouths and laughing.

"Stop laughing and go serve your master."

"Yes."

Luzhu and Lianqiao stepped forward to greet Xiao Mo, then ran away with a smile on their faces.

Just now they heard Ye Jintang calling for people and were about to enter the house but were stopped by Aunt Liu.

Only then did they see Xiao Mo turn his wheelchair into a Hot Wheels and hurried into the house.

Since the prince has gone, there is naturally nothing for them, the maids, to do.

It’s a pity that the prince left quickly and was driven out quickly, wasting such a good opportunity.

Frightened, Ye Jintang simply lay down on the bed and took a nap, hoping to feel better after waking up.

She was really scared to death by the little green snake just now. She even held her wrist with her hand during her nap. She always felt that the place where the little green snake had been was cool.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but Ye Jintang vaguely heard Luzhu talking to Nanny Zhang outside.

"The queen hasn't woken up yet. Why don't you let the cousin wait in the hall? The queen has slept for a long time and it's time for her to wake up."

"Okay, I'll comfort my cousin too. Don't cry when you see the queen later. The queen is the princess now, not just the granddaughter of the Wen family."

Ye Jintang in the inner room sat up and called Luzhu in.

"Your Highness, Madam Zhang just said that cousin Wan'er has arrived and is temporarily staying in the small flower hall. Would you like to see her now?"

"Oh, cousin, are you in Beijing? It seems that Mr. Zhang has passed the imperial examination."

"Go and bring cousin Wan'er over here. We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's a good opportunity to catch up."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Ye Jintang had a good impression of Gu Wan'er. She was brave, resourceful, and had a decent mind. She was unlike some girls in the inner chambers who would complain about everything when something happened.

Ye Jintang had packed everything, and Lu Zhu also brought Gu Wan'er over.

Gu Wan'er is now the wife of a Jinshi, so her dress and appearance cannot be too bad. But Gu Wan'er in front of her was only wearing cloth clothes, which was even worse than when she was in the Gu family.

When he saw her like this, Ye Jintang vaguely felt that something must have happened to her.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Jintang looked Gu Wan'er up and down, and found that she was wearing thick winter shoes.

"Princess, please save me. If you don't lend me a hand, I will die."

When Gu Wan'er saw Ye Jintang, she fell to her knees and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Cousin, please get up quickly. Tell me what's going on. If I can help you, I won't refuse."

Gu Wan'er is such a strong-willed woman, if she hadn't encountered a difficult situation, she would definitely not come to her.

"Luzhu, serve the tea."

Ye Jintang was not in a hurry. He waited until Gu Wan'er calmed down and let her speak slowly.

"I originally thought that if I married Zhang Xian, even if I couldn't live a life of luxury, at least I would have enough food and clothing."

"But after I married into the Zhang family, I found out that Zhang Xian had to study every day and didn't do any housework, let alone earn money. All the food and clothing expenses of the family depended on my mother-in-law's needlework and the help from the clan."

"Life was tough and I could only use my dowry to help my family from time to time. But I remember when the queen gave me the dowry, she said that I must keep the money the queen gave me well and not let anyone know about it."

"No matter how hard life was for my family, I never took out this money."

"After the New Year, Zhang Xian came to the capital to take the imperial examination. He took away almost all the money in the family."

"For a long time, my mother-in-law and I could only eat steamed bread made of weeds. At that time, I had no dowry at all, and my mother-in-law treated me worse day by day."

"In order to earn some money, I worked day and night on the embroidery and almost went blind."

"At that time, I was holding back my energy, thinking that if Zhang Xian could pass the imperial examination, I would be his wife and would not have to live such a hard life."

"But after all my waiting, what I got was a divorce letter from Zhang Xian."

Speaking of sad things, Gu Waner couldn't help crying.

Zhang Xian has always been very good to her since they got married, and they have endless things to talk about.

She never expected that the first thing Zhang Xian did after passing the imperial examination was to divorce her.

"Divorce is a big deal, and no one in the Gu family will seek justice for you."

Gu Waner shook her head.

"My father took the benefits from Zhang Xian and didn't care about my life or death at all."

"I want to come to the capital to talk things over with Zhang Xian. My mother-in-law is afraid that I will hinder Zhang Xian's career, so she falsely accuses me of having an affair and wants the Zhang family to drown me."

"So I took the silver that the queen gave me and ran away overnight. With this silver, I walked all the way to the capital."

"It was only after I came to the capital that I realized how disgusting Zhang Xian was."

"After he passed the imperial examination, he was favored by the Minister of Rites, Lord Qiu, who wanted to marry his legitimate daughter to Zhang Xian. When he asked Zhang Xian if he had a wife, he said no."

"Zhang Xian's conscience has really been eaten by a dog. I used my dowry to support him so that he could study without any worries."

"How could he treat me like this?"

As she spoke, Gu Wan'er began to cry softly.
