Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Xie Youlan has been away from the capital for several years. During this period, she only wrote letters to Li Yu and never mentioned coming back. Li Yu thought she had been away for the rest of her life.

It was such a pleasant surprise that she suddenly showed up.

Li Yu immediately invited Xie Youlan into the house for tea.

Xie Youlan first presented the gift she bought for Li Yu, and then answered her question: "I have been back for seven or eight days."

Li Yu: "Are you still living in the same place as before?"

Xie Youlan took a sip of tea and said, "No, I moved to a new place."

In recent years, whenever she goes out, she stays in a place for a while and leaves only after seeing the local scenery.

With her talent for writing storybooks, she never lacked money.

Li Yu: "Are you going out again after you come back this time?"

"Go out." Xie Youlan sighed, "But I won't go too far. I bought a small courtyard in the capital of Beizhou Prefecture and will live there from now on."

Li Yu hummed, and suddenly thought of something wrong: "Did you walk here just now?"

"I came here." Xie Youlan said faintly, "Are you worried that my parents will find out?"

Li Yu: “Yes.”

"Don't worry." Xie Youlan sighed: "They have already seen me."

Li Yu: “…”

*

a few days ago.

When Xie Youlan was returning to the capital, she happened to pass by Guanyin Temple and turned in to pray for safety.

It was also a coincidence that when she finished burning incense and went out, she met Earl Changqing and his wife.

As their daughter, they recognized Xie Youlan almost at first sight, but they had only curses for her.

They said that since she was dead, she should not appear in front of them in the future, and there was no such person as her in their Changqing Earl's Mansion.

Most parents who say this kind of thing are just saying it, but they actually love their children in their hearts. However, it is not the case with the Changqing Earl and his wife.

They really didn't want to recognize Xie Youlan, because at the beginning of the year, Lady Changqing asked someone to tell Xie Youlan's younger brother's fortune, and the other party said that all the bad things Xie Youlan's younger brother had experienced in the past were caused by Xie Youlan, because Xie Youlan was unlucky for her younger brother.

After listening to what Xie Youlan said, Li Yu felt it was outrageous.

"There are so many people in the world, and there are always people who don't have any parental ties. I've let it go a long time ago." Xie Youlan said, "When I was in the Bo's Mansion, although they raised me, they also hurt me a lot. I had already repaid them for their kindness at that time, and I don't owe them anything."

It would be best if she could figure it out, Li Yu nodded.

Xie Youlan sat for half an hour, then stood up and said goodbye.

Li Yu called her, "You came back this time, didn't you meet Princess Jianing?"

Xie Youlan hesitated.

Li Yu said: "She mentioned you last month and talked about the old times when you two were friends."

After a while, Xie Youlan said, "I'll go see her."

Li Yu: "Shall I go with you?"

Xie Youlan thought about it and refused.

She has deceived Jianing a lot, and she should bear Jianing's anger. She should not drag Li Yu into this.

*

After Xie Youlan left, Li Yu sat on the chair for a while, then went to the cross-courtyard to check the situation, and returned to the Princess' Mansion after making sure that there was no problem.

It was exactly noon, and she went to the kitchen to look at the ingredients for the day and decided to make noodle soup.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished rolling out the dough, Princess Jianing rushed into the kitchen in a hurry.

"Li Yu." Princess Jianing stamped her feet in anger: "Do you know what Xie Youlan said? She said that all the things she did before were to avoid causing trouble for me.

She said that her parents forced her to ask for things from me and forced her to plot against me. She was afraid of influencing me, so she deliberately did things to disgust me and make me break up with her.

Does she look down on me? I am a princess, can I be easily manipulated? What does she think of me?"

Li Yu was worried that she would get sick from being angry, so she quickly wiped the flour off her hands and pulled Princess Jianing to sit down.

Princess Jianing was so annoyed, "I thought she was fine before, how come she suddenly became so scheming? I thought I had misjudged her at first, but it turned out that she did it on purpose, she was playing me like a monkey!"

Li Yu advised: "Although what Miss Xie did was wrong, she was also thinking about you, the princess. You should know what the Changqing Marquis and his wife are like. If Miss Xie hadn't done that at the time, the Changqing Marquis and his wife would have forced her to keep asking you for it.

Once or twice, the princess may not think it's a big deal, but if it happens too many times, what she wants can only be given by Prince An?"

Princess Jianing: "But...but..."

In fact, what Li Yu said was right. It was understandable that Xie Youlan did that at that time, but she was still angry. If Xie Youlan explained it to her clearly, they might be able to find a solution.

"I don't want to pay attention to her this year." Princess Jianing slammed the table.

Li Yu saw that her anger had mostly subsided, so he didn't reply. Instead, he asked, "Have you eaten yet, Princess? I was just about to make noodles."

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. Once she asked, Princess Jianing was really hungry. She stood up, looked at the noodles on the chopping board, and said, "I'll eat."

Li Yu: "Please wait a moment, my lady. I will be able to make it soon."

*

Princess Jianing really liked watching Li Yu cook, so she didn't leave and just stood by and watched.

When Li Yu put the noodles into the pot, she suddenly remembered something: "I just mentioned Xie Youlan, why aren't you surprised? Have you met her?"

Li Yu paused.

She looked at the pot, then at Princess Jianing, and finally said softly, "A few years ago, I knew that Miss Xie was not dead. The Mr. Zhuyu who wrote the storybook was Miss Xie. It was me who discussed the cooperation with her. I'm sorry that I kept it a secret from you all these years."

Princess Jianing's eyes were instantly filled with shock.

Li Yu thought she was going to get angry, but she suddenly dropped her shoulders and her eyes became calm again: "It must be Xie Youlan who didn't let you tell me, and you are a person who values ​​your promises."

Li Yu felt a little uncomfortable seeing her like this.

Because Princess Jianing had not mentioned Xie Youlan very often in the past few years, she did not say anything. First, she had promised Xie Youlan not to tell Princess Jianing that she was still alive. Second, she was afraid that if she told Princess Jianing, Xie Youlan might get into trouble outside, which would make Princess Jianing feel uncomfortable for a while.

She didn't handle this matter well, Li Yu thought to herself.

Beside her, Princess Jianing noticed Li Yu's mood change and was no longer angry. Instead, she comforted Li Yu: "Li Yu, you did nothing wrong. Even if I am good friends with you, I will not tell you what others don't allow me to tell you. This is a matter of credibility.

Anyway, it's Xie Youlan's fault, let's ignore her and eat. I'm hungry."

Princess Jianing was extremely angry with Xie Youlan and ignored her completely.

At the beginning of March, she packed her luggage and went out with Li Yu and Han Xiaomei. They had planned this trip last year, and now it was a good time to go out and play because the spring was bright and beautiful.

They planned to go to Donghaizhou first to fulfill Han Xiaomei's wish to see the sea and big fish.

Li Yu asked her if she wanted to tell Xie Youlan. In order to calm Princess Jianing down, Xie Youlan had not left the capital yet.

Princess Jianing rolled her eyes: "What are you going to say to her? Don't worry about her, let's go and have fun." At this point, she smiled and said, "When I went out to play alone before, I always felt lonely on the road. This time, I have you and Xiaomei with me."

Li Yu listened to her talk, his eyes fixed on a carriage not far from them. The wind blew up the curtains, revealing Xie Youlan's face.

She sighed in her heart, then smiled. If nothing else, she had a feeling that this trip would be very interesting!
