Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen remembered that this teahouse was famous for its white tea.

When Meng Qianru got into the car, she was supported by palace maids on both sides, but Li Xuan seemed to have also extended a hand. Ye Zhen didn't see clearly, but just a guess made her feel uncomfortable.

I feel more tired than after staying up all night without sleeping.

But then I laughed at myself again, what's so sad about that? He treated you well, took care of you, and thought of you in every way. Putting aside those decent reasons, he was just responsible for what happened in the attic that night.

Ye Zhen, ah Ye Zhen, what are you thinking about?

What else can you think.

What he does for you, no one else can do, but what you do for him, in fact anyone can do for him.

Why do you feel uncomfortable?

As if sensing the gaze from the darkness, Li Xuan looked over here. Ye Zhen slammed the door shut and leaned against the vermilion door, panting with guilt.

Li Xuan only saw the tightly closed door, and his eyebrows moved slightly. Was it resolved so quickly? Just now, he could still hear the woman's screaming and noisy noise, so he stopped here on purpose.

Yes, she looked slender and weak, but she was actually brave and resourceful. No matter how he hinted, there had been no further progress.

Why was he laughing at that woman? He couldn't get out of her hand either.

Seeing him in a trance, Meng Qianru thought that the Ye Mansion was across the street, so she said quietly, "Second Master, why don't we go see Second Miss Ye? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know if her neck and ankle are better."

"I happened to be passing by today, so I sent two boxes of new white tea to the second young lady."

The carriage was spacious, and Li Xuan and Meng Qianru were far away from each other. He leaned against the carriage, looking cautious as if he was afraid of getting his hands on the corner of her clothes.

Li Xuan heard this and said slowly, "The Cui family's case is under investigation. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Dean Ye knew about it, but if I go to the Ye Mansion at this critical moment, the princess is afraid that no one will talk about me and the court will not be lively, right?"

Meng Qianru said innocently, "I didn't think it through."

"I have never cared about the affairs of the court, and I never thought of this for a moment."

Li Xuanan was not grateful, "This matter has caused a lot of uproar, and the common people are terrified when talking about it. The princess can hear it even if she covers her ears."

Meng Qianru's eyelashes trembled, and she lost her usual dignity and composure. Even though her father and brother died that year, she never wronged anyone. But at this moment, she stared at the man so close to her, pursed her lips and said, "Second Master, are you saying that I deliberately hurt you?"

Li Xuan'an was not moved at all, "It's not that harmful. The princess wants to test what position Ye Zhen holds in my heart."

Meng Qianru's pupils trembled slightly. "Everyone in and outside the palace said that the Second Master was particularly partial to her and took good care of her. Taoist Master Chen Buchu sent a letter two days ago asking about this matter."

Hearing his mother's words, Li Xuan raised his eyelids lazily.

Meng Qianru continued, "Second Master knows what's going on, so I can give the Taoist priest a reply."

"She is my biological mother and also my master in the Qing Sect. There is something we cannot say to each other. I have to trouble the princess to pass on the message."

There was no trace of disdain in Li Xuan'an's voice, but his words were full of mockery.

Meng Qianru had known him for so long, but this was the first time she was questioned like this. "I understand what you mean, Master. I will tell you when I get back that you are not going to leave."

Li Xuan didn't say anything else. The only sound in the carriage was the sound of rosary beads being twanged.

He closed his eyes lightly, easily blocking out all the thoughts written on Meng Qianru's gaze.

As the carriage started moving, there was a commotion outside.

Li Xuan'an's voice was clearly unhappy, "What's wrong?"

Yun Zhui said from outside, "A tall and strong man broke open the door of the Ye Mansion."

Ye Zhen didn't expect that she was leaning against the door and before she could recover, she was suddenly pushed open by a huge force. The door bolt hit her back and the pain made her gasp.

It was Liuxia who held her firmly so that she did not fall down the stairs.

Liuxia felt nervous when she saw someone coming, "Niu, Niu Xiaobao?"

Niu Xiaobao didn't expect Ye Zhen to be behind the door. He was stunned for a moment, then he put his hands on his waist and said, "Your Ye family has suffered a disaster. My mother said that as long as I marry you now, the court will punish you, and you will be spared because you are a daughter who married out."

Ye Zhen dodged the hand that Niu Xiaobao extended, but she failed to dodge the ribbon behind her and it was torn apart with a ripping sound.

His eyes sparkled, "You are so beautiful! I don't mind that you followed the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, nor do I mind that you bullied me last time. Now if you call me husband obediently, I will take you back to be my wife."

Ye Zhen covered his chest and said, "Someone, get this lunatic out!"

Niu Xiaobao was immediately displeased when she said that. He rolled up his sleeves and pushed away two servants who were rushing towards him. "I tried to talk to you nicely but you didn't listen. It seems my mother is right. Daughters-in-law should be beaten. When it hurts, they will be obedient."

Liuxia protected Ye Zhen and hid behind her. Ye Zhen couldn't stand up straight several times due to back pain and could only stare at Niu Xiaobao with a cold look.

"How many heads of the Niu family can afford you to cause trouble in the residence of an official of the current dynasty?"

At this moment, Madam Niu also came over. She first took a look at the crowd before she smiled and said, "Dear neighbors, Madam Ye has promised the second daughter to our young mistress two days ago."

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone can go home."

"You're talking nonsense!" Liuxia was so angry that she jumped up and down, "That's not true!"

Mrs. Niu stood outside the door, looking at them triumphantly, "Xiao Bao, the second young lady is innocent. She doesn't want to go with you because she feels bad for her father. You should talk to her nicely. Our Niu family will not treat her badly."

Ye Zhen did not expect that the mother and son were still in the capital, and if she was not mistaken, the handkerchief in Mrs. Niu's hand was not made of ordinary material, but rather looked like a valuable Shu brocade.

But it is incomplete and seems to be just scraps.

At such a long distance, she couldn't be sure.

Niu Xiaobao received instructions from his mother and approached with earth-shaking steps like a strong man, and Liuxia was pushed away with a slap.

Ye Zhen held the silver needle, but her back was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up straight. At the moment when Niu Xiaobao grabbed her shoulder, Li Xuan'an's low and cold voice came from the sky, "How dare you!"

Niu Xiaobao felt a sudden pain and numbness in his shoulders, and his knees thumped down on the steps, instantly howling like a ghost.

The white shadow was like the wind, and the dark red hairband appeared and disappeared in the black hair. Li Xuan'an was full of murderous aura, and his slender five fingers clasped Niu Xiaobao's shoulders, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Mrs. Niu was terrified, "You, you quickly let go of my Xiao Bao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife was placed on his neck.

Yun Zhui said coldly, "How can this lady talk to our Imperial Master?"

National Division?

Mrs. Niu's internal organs were in a mess, but she still said stubbornly, "Xiao, Xiao Bao came to save his wife, and the national teacher can't be unreasonable."

Ye Zhen gritted her teeth, "I'm not his wife."

"Madam has clearly agreed on it, how can you not acknowledge it?" Mrs. Niu tried to argue.

Li Xuan'an saw Ye Zhen was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up, with sweat on his forehead. Uncontrollable anger welled up in his eyes, "Ask Dean Ye and his wife to come out and talk!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Niu covered her forehead and trembled. She turned her head to look behind her again, but was stopped by Yun Zhui's knife handle. "Who are you looking for, Auntie?"

"No, no."
