The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Kingdom——Quezhou Posthouse

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and Nangong Che sat in the yard to rest.

Xiang Hui accompanied him, "Your Highness, today is the 28th, and Quezhou has returned to normal. Zu Wang contracted the plague and died, and the Huqi army suffered heavy casualties. Now it is completely under Xu Liang's control. Shouldn't we go back?"

Before Nangong Che could speak, Yue Kun entered the gate: "Your Highness, Prince Xian is gone. He just left the city. He has been hanging out in the Noble House for the past three days. That day at the city gate, Envoy Ye did scold him badly."

"This King Xian doesn't even come to see our Highness," Guangyi said.

"Who am I? How can I be worthy of others coming to see me? Now that he is gone and Quezhou has been taken over by our people, let's prepare to go back and announce to the public that I am seriously ill and dying, so I am in a hurry to go back because I am afraid of dying outside," said Nangong Che.

"Your Highness, let's not curse ourselves like this," Guangyi said.

"I'll arrange it right away," Yue Kun bowed and left.

"Your Highness, isn't Hou Bing's death still under investigation?" Xianghui asked.

Nangong Che thought for a long time: “Ye Ling, except for her, I’m afraid no one else has the ability.”

"Are you saying Captain Yue is lying?"

"He didn't. He was just too stupid to keep a close eye on the person, and instead let them take advantage of him. Didn't our coroner say that? The febrile disease that Hou Bing contracted may look similar to snake venom, but there are actually differences."

"I see. However, a lot of people have been saying these days that Ye Sishi has fallen in love with a guard beside King Wen. They are inseparable. This rumor is outrageous. This person is most likely Captain Yue," Xianghui said without frowning.

“So I said Yue Kun was stupid and was used by Ye Ling. This round, I lost.” Nangong Che said, closing his eyes and enjoying the sunshine: “Jingchuan went to Zhezhou, right?”

"As you instructed, Master Jing has taken a detour. We must have our people in King Xian's fiefdom, or at least make sure he doesn't have an easy time," Xianghui said.

"He's also willing to go to Zhezhou, the territory of Langya Pavilion, where Ye Ling is."

"Mr. Jing seems to really like Ye Ling"

“It’s not as if” Nangong Che stopped talking.

Meanwhile, Nangong Xuan, who had just left the city, was still seething with anger. "Damn Ye Ling! How dare she insult me ​​in public? She really thought she could be so arrogant just because she was on the Langya List. The title of Si Shi (official envoy) is just an empty title given to her by Feng Qingyang. She even looks down on the princess given to her by my father. She has no idea what's good for her."

"Your Highness," Han Yu'er, who had been promoted to the principal wife, said delicately, "Ye Ling is nothing. It's been a few days. Don't get angry anymore. We'll deal with her slowly when we get to Zhezhou."

"My father must be disappointed in me, otherwise he wouldn't have given me Zhezhou as my fiefdom, knowing that my roots are in Quezhou."

"Zhezhou is connected to Quezhou, so it's not far away!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's far or not. Hou Bing is dead, Yao Qi, Zu Wang, and Gu Feixiang are all dead. The cavalry army is in chaos. My father drove away both me and King Beichen, and also forced my mother to death. He is now alone in the capital, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone trying to take his throne."

Han Yu'er didn't listen to Nangong Xuan's words and asked on her own: "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with Zhezhou?"

"Even children know that Zhezhou is the territory of Langya Pavilion. Moreover, I once made things difficult for the governor of Zhezhou, forcing him to leave and take up his post in Zhezhou. He is a stubborn person who insists on following the rules and regulations in everything he does, with clear rewards and punishments. Just imagine how difficult it is for me to find a place to stay."

"Whatever he's doing, you're also a prince, and there's Langya Pavilion. You're just a bunch of common people, so it's nothing."

"What do you know? If Langya Pavilion wants to get rid of someone, they will do it silently, leaving no trace. You won't even know how you died, especially the Renzi Hall. Over the years, the Renzi Hall has done so many things that others dare not do. As long as you are a decent person and the money is in place, they will kill you wherever they are told, without any hesitation. The Five Ghosts were quite powerful, but this time they were killed by that bitch Ye Ling."

"Is it that powerful?" Han Yuer still didn't believe it.

"I scolded Ye Ling only out of helplessness. Her current strength should not be underestimated. If I had known she was Feng Qingyang's apprentice, I should not have married Ye Yun. Marrying Ye Ling would have been like adding wings to a tiger. What else could I be afraid of not being able to succeed?"

Han Yu'er immediately felt unhappy: "Your Highness is right, but Ye Ling's reputation is both good and bad. Just like what I heard in Quezhou these two days, she is not ashamed to be hanging out with a guard."

Nangong Che didn't want to say anything more, so he closed his eyes, and Han Yuer massaged his legs.

In another carriage, Ye Yun, dressed in shabby clothes, sat against the wall with dull eyes. She was now demoted to a concubine, and an unfavored one at that, and her life was worse than that of the maidservants around Han Yuer.

The maid Guo'er said softly, "Miss, would you like some water? You look very haggard after such a bumpy ride."

Ye Yun had a blank expression on her face: "So what? No matter what, I'm still alive, and His Highness hasn't abandoned me. My father, mother, brother, and Wenwen are all gone. The Han family is not human. They could have saved my sister, but they gave her up on their own initiative."

"Miss, please don't be so sad."

Ye Yun's eyes were fierce: "Ye Ling, it's all that bitch's fault. She caused my family to be destroyed. I must avenge this."

"Miss, she is a master on the Langya List. How can we take revenge?"

"Think of a way, there will definitely be a chance"

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

"Han Yu'er, we have to get rid of her first. She killed my child."

"Miss, please don't say that anymore. His Highness will be disgusted if he hears it."

"Just wait, one day, I will send you all to hell," Ye Yun said viciously.

In the evening of the same day, Ye Ling and his group set up camp on the grassland.

Ye Ling and Jiu You worked together to set up the tent. Jiu You glanced at the river in the distance and said, "Senior Sister, my sister-in-law hasn't been in a good mood these past two days. She's been sitting by the river in a daze again."

"I was just about to talk about this," Yue Chi said, "I saw her crying secretly last night. I thought there were differences between men and women, and she was my brother's wife, so I didn't dare to go over and ask."

Ye Ling looked at Yuan Jialin on the other side, and Yue Chi quickly said, "It's not him. I've been keeping a close eye on her these past two days. He kept apologizing to her, but she never said a word to him. So, I'll go with Jiuyou, and you go take a look. You girls can communicate better."

Ye Ling handed the rope to Yue Chi, took two steamed buns, and walked towards the river.

Su Su was indeed crying. When she heard someone coming, she quickly wiped her tears.

"What are you doing?" Ye Ling walked over and sat down: "Here, eat the buns and tell me what's wrong. Did Yuan Jialin bully you again? I'll go and deal with him."

"No, no," Su Su quickly stopped him, "It's not because of him."

"Then tell me what happened these two days? Don't be polite to me. Don't forget, you are my sister. We kowtowed to each other and became sworn sisters! Don't hide it from me," Ye Ling asked while eating.

"Nothing," Su Su forced a smile.

"Look, even if you don't tell the truth, even your brother Jiuyou, who is such a wooden man, can tell that something is wrong with you."

Su Su thought for a moment before speaking: "Sister, I'm getting married."

"Yeah, wait, do you dislike my brother anymore?"

"No, I will only marry Big Brother Mo in my life, but... but I... I may not have a dowry. Big Brother Mo's betrothal gifts were rejected by my father. Grandfather was the one who made the decision, and he accepted the betrothal gifts, but... but Grandfather doesn't have much money, so I will definitely not have a dowry. Grandfather took great pains to get my mother's dowry, but it was taken back by my grandmother. I don't want to ask them for it again, and I don't have money to buy it myself. Tell me, will I be laughed at by others then?" Su Su's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked particularly pitiful.

Ye Ling looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't bear it any more: "Dear, don't cry. Senior Brother loves you and wants to marry you, so he doesn't care about the dowry at all, understand? All you have to do now is wait for your wedding peacefully, okay? Let's not think about anything else for now."

"My grandfather said the same thing, but I'm still sad. My mother is gone, and my father doesn't love me. I really feel like an orphan without a father or a mother."

"What's wrong with being an orphan without a father or a mother? I have no father or a mother, but I'm still living a prosperous life. I'll piss off those bastards, right?"

"Sister, I want a hug!" Su Su cried and hugged Ye Ling's waist: "Sister, are you sent by God to save me? Since I met you, I have never been bullied again. I want to be with you forever. Please don't leave me, okay? I love you so much!"

Ye Ling patted Su Su's back and said, "Of course I can, but I'm afraid Senior Brother won't agree! This would be considered poaching."

"Then dig it. If you have to choose between Brother Mo and you, I will definitely choose you." Su Su was absolutely serious.

Yue Chi looked at the two people by the river from a distance and wondered, "Why are they still hugging each other? Are they both crying?"

"Impossible," Jiuyou was very sure: "Senior Sister will not cry easily, and she will not cry in front of outsiders."

"Oh! So sure!" Yue Chi looked thoughtful: "Brother Jiuyou, I think your feelings towards your senior sister are different!"

Jiuyou stopped talking and started to make a fire and cook porridge.

Yue Chi was also busy, helping to wash rice and cut vegetables: "Look at you, you always keep silent. Oh! Someone like me is not suitable to be with you, it's too boring."

"How will Langya Pavilion deal with Yuan Jialin?" Jiuyou asked.

"That's hard to say. He's the clan leader's son, so I don't have the right to deal with him. If I send him back, I'll probably just give him a verbal education. After all, nothing happened to the young lady."

Jiuyou was unhappy: "If something really happens, there will be no punishment. Will I marry my sister-in-law to him?"

Yue Chi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, which was also a kind of tacit agreement.

Jiuyou laughed sarcastically: "They are all of the same character."

"You kid don't know how to chat, and I'm not the type of person like Yuan Jialin. Yes, brother, I am a playboy, but I never force it, it's all voluntary."

Jiuyou simply ignored it and focused on cooking.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yue Chi shouted at the top of his voice, "Two beauties, come back for dinner."

Only then did Ye Ling and Su Su get up and go back to eat.
