Farming and reading family

No one knows what he went through in his previous life. No matter what he does, he feels conflicted, like a bird whose nest has been poked but is still carefully protecting its eggs.

Chen Ke nodded after hearing Gao E's words and asked, "When will Mr. Du be back?"

"In a few days." Gao E didn't ask why Chen Ke didn't write back after he went out.

In fact, Chen Ke wrote it, but he asked about the money for delivering the letter and gave up.

"That's good." Chen Ke felt slightly relieved.

He couldn't receive the people invited by Du Weiqing, and it would be bad if something went wrong.

"Some of the people invited by Mr. Du have arrived. I have arranged for them to stay in Yueyuan. Tang Song and Hu Zhexing are receiving them now. Do you want to go and see them tomorrow?" Gao E suggested.

The real host of this gathering is Chen Ke, he should go and see it.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait for Mr. Du to come back and go together. After all, they are the people invited by Mr. Du, and I can't take the place of the host."

Gao E thought Chen Ke was making progress now, as he could now find plausible excuses. "Okay."

It’s okay for Chen Ke not to go. The eldest princess and Miss Qiu are both in Yueyuan. It would be bad if something unexpected happened if they met.

The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Ke got up and went to school.

Jin Ruyi came in after seeing Chen Ke leave: "Is he trying to justify his relationship with Ji Qiuniang?"

"What's there to quibble about?" Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi. "Don't keep focusing on household chores every day."

Jin Ruyi sneered when she heard Gao E say this: "Okay, since you said that, I won't mention it anymore. It's your business anyway."

"I know you are worried about me, but... I'm not worried about this." Gao E spread her hands.

"Don't think this is too easy. Household chores are the most tiring." Jin Ruyi thought to herself.

At first, she was also independent and could live well without a man.

But after being with Ye Linchuan and then separating, she felt like she had become a different person. Her previous vigor and sharpness were all gone, and she seemed to be pressed into the mud.

Fortunately, she still had Jin Chao, otherwise she didn’t know how she would have gotten through those days.

"You talk as if I have never been married, have no husband, no parents-in-law, and no children." Gao E smiled slightly.

Jin Ruyi didn't know how to refute Gao E after hearing what she said: "I'm just saying that getting married and then getting divorced is not just a matter between two people."

Just like some insects can eat spiders, but once they fall into the spider's web, they can only become the spider's food.

Gao E knew what Jin Ruyi meant: "Don't worry."

Jin Ruyi thought about it and said nothing. Gao E was indeed different from her.

"I don't know what the situation is in Yueyuan now." Gao E was a little curious.

Ye Linchuan tried very hard to please the eldest princess, and Xu Boyan also gave him the best medicine.

The eldest princess didn't mind Ye Linchuan doing this. Who would refuse a pet that tried so hard to please its master?

A few more people moved into Yueyuan. They were all prestigious scholars. They knew each other's names and had a good chat with each other.

Xu Boyan was not in a hurry. Even if Princess Qingfeng recovered her memory, the arrow was on the string and there was no other possibility. It was just a matter of a few days earlier or later.

He was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

Now that something unexpected has happened, he is curious about what will happen next.

"Master." Bai Hao came in from outside.

Xu Boyan looked at Bai Hao: "How is it?"

"We searched all the inns, rental houses, and vacant houses, but found no trace of that man." Bai Hao was a little depressed. It was as if such a big man had evaporated.

"With that man's martial arts skills, it is impossible for him to cross the city wall and leave." Zhu Mo was very sure.

Xu Boyan frowned. He guessed that the snake tamer would not leave easily, at least not unless Qiu Zhen left.

The key point is that there might be a spy for the prince around Qiu Zhen. If that person knew that Princess Qingfeng was still alive, he might take action.

"Keep looking. If that doesn't work, block off He County and look for it." Xu Boyan said directly.

"Yes." The two people accepted the order.

The eldest princess got up lazily in the morning and looked at her appearance in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.

"Princess." Zhixia came over and saluted.

"Now that all the Zhao family members are dead, Qiu Zhen will do nothing?" The eldest princess was a little dissatisfied.

"Miss Qiu is still recovering from her injuries." Zhixia said in a low voice.

The eldest princess was a little impatient.

Ye Linchuan put on his clothes and came over to comb the eldest princess's hair: "I suddenly feel that the matter about the Zhao family may be a fabrication."

He had been to the Yishun Marquis's mansion and had some understanding of the forces in the capital. He knew that the eldest princess was on the side of the crown prince.

Now that he has betrayed Qiu Zhen, he will definitely be retaliated by Qiu Zhen. The only way is to join the prince's party, so that the princess will protect him.

"Oh?" The princess looked at Ye Linchuan in the mirror. "Is there any inside story?"

Ye Linchuan then explained what he could about his interactions with Zhao Jiancheng: "Now that I think about it, Xu Boyan must have been unwilling to do this, so he found this excuse. I never thought that this excuse would be used by the Qiu family."

The eldest princess frowned and said, "Go find Xu Boyan."

Ye Linchuan lowered his eyes. He couldn't be blamed for betraying Xu Boyan. Xu Boyan introduced him to the eldest princess in order to get himself out of trouble. They always got what they wanted from each other.

Xu Boyan felt helpless when he heard that the princess was looking for him, and thought to himself, Ye Linchuan wouldn’t be so useless, right?

He soon arrived at Yueyuan, but met Miss Qiu first.

Her arm was wrapped so tightly that she couldn't move it, and she looked even more haggard than when she was first injured.

"Lord Xu wanted to shift the blame elsewhere, but in the end he couldn't escape it himself." Qiu Zhen mocked.

Xu Boyan saluted: "I don't know what Miss Qiu is talking about."

"Hmph!" Qiu Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Boyan's stupidity. "Don't blame me for not reminding Master Xu. Ye Linchuan is a two-faced man who can betray anyone."

"Thank you, Miss Qiu, for the reminder." Xu Boyan looked grateful.

Qiu Zhen looked at Xu Boyan with disdain: "I don't care about other things, but we are in the same boat when it comes to Princess Qingfeng's affairs."

"I know." Xu Boyan nodded.

After saying goodbye to Miss Qiu, Xu Boyan went to see the eldest princess.

Xu Boyan walked to the door and saw the three concubines that the eldest princess had brought with her before staring at him with some hatred. He smiled slightly, which made the three men even more hostile.

"Your humble servant, Xu Boyan, the magistrate of He County, is here to pay his respects to the princess." Xu Boyan bowed to the princess.

The eldest princess looked at Xu Boyan, then looked at Ye Linchuan on the side, and still felt that Ye Linchuan was not as good as Xu Boyan.

"I heard something and wanted to ask Lord Xu to verify it." The eldest princess said directly.

Xu Boyan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the princess wasn't looking for him alone, it would be fine. "Yes."

"Ye Linchuan, you say." The eldest princess leaned lazily on the chaise longue.

Ye Linchuan then recounted the Zhao family's previous incident: "Master Xu, are you sure that Princess Qingfeng's jewelry was lost in He County, and not shipped here somewhere else to sell stolen goods?"

"Of course I'm not sure." Xu Boyan refused to take the blame.
