Two days later, early in the morning, Xiao Ni came to report and another person from the palace sent a letter.

I hurriedly got up and went to the gate myself. I saw a middle-aged man with a smooth and pale face, wearing extremely inconspicuous clothes standing under the eaves. When I saw me coming, I immediately leaned over and salute: "Madam."

"Who are you--"

"The Queen sent me to send this letter to my wife."

After saying that, he presented a letter with both hands, and the mark on it was familiar to me. As soon as I took it, he saluted and turned around and left. I hurriedly said, "Hey?"

He turned around and said, "Madam, the Queen has given the order, and the lady no longer needs to reply to this letter. Say goodbye."

After saying that, he left.

No reply?

I frowned slightly and told Lao Zhu to close the door, turn around and walk back, and unpack the envelope while walking, but took out a handwriting from it.

It is the queen's handwriting.

No wonder she didn't need my reply letter, and she explained this matter clearly after giving me this.

But—I frowned slightly.

After she sent that letter, I sent her reply letter, except to tell her that I would also pray for blessings, I went to Taimiao to find an opportunity to meet Miaoyan. Later, I thought about it and told her about my meeting with Yang Jinqiao in Jinfenglou. Although this matter was not a weathered case and might not be helpful to Yang Jinyao and Wu Yanqiu, I still chose to tell her.

But unexpectedly, she didn't mention that incident in the letter that came this time.

I don’t know what she thinks about Wu Yanqiu and Yang Jinyao, and what will she do.

I sighed lightly.

And at this moment, a scream came from the gate behind me. As soon as I turned around, I heard Yang Jinyao's familiar voice coming-

"Sister Yan!"

When I looked closely, she was really here. Before Lao Zhu could close the door, she broke in directly. Lao Zhu originally planned to stop her and ask clearly, but when he heard her calling me "Sister Yan", the arm that stopped her was released, and Yang Jinyao had already run over with great strides.

I subconsciously folded the letter and handwriting in my hand, put it in my sleeve, and then went up to me: "Jin Yao, why are you here?"

As soon as I approached, I found that her eyes were red and there were still tears on her face.

I immediately felt something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

She walked up to me and threw herself into my arms: "Sister Yan!"

I heard that she seemed to be crying, so I hurriedly gave Lao Zhu a wink and asked Lao Zhu to close the door quickly, then reached out and walked towards my room. After entering the room, I let her go. I saw that her face was already crying, and her tears were all over her face made people feel distressed and pity.

I held her face and listened to her sobbing constantly. While wiping her tears, I said softly: "What's wrong? I'm crying like this? Who bullies you?"

"Who else, that Wu Yanqiu! Dead old man!"

When I heard her scolding this, I immediately understood.

After cursing that, she still couldn't relieve her hatred and continued to curse: "Who did he think he was? Can't I get married without him? Humph, old man!"

I coughed lightly, pretended to be deaf and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you scold me when you come?"

She pursed her lips and almost cried again. She finally gritted her teeth and held on. She sobbed and said, "I went to his mansion to find him. At the beginning, his disciples said that he was sick and had not been to court for several days and had no guests. I thought he was really sick and made me very anxious. I specially called the very good doctor in our family and brought medicine to his mansion. Who knew that he wouldn't even let me in!"

I thought about it and reluctantly advised, "Maybe he just doesn't want people to know?"

"No!" She started to cry: "He is not sick at all, he just refuses to see me!"

"this--"

"I thought it was wrong later. Who had been sick for so long? If this was the case, he was so big and sick, and someone from the court had come to ask! I went to the back door to block him. I stayed there for one night and finally blocked him!"

"ah?"

My face suddenly changed. I didn't expect that Yang Jinyao was so persistent and could have been waiting for the back door of the Wu Mansion in such a snowy and ice. Wouldn't it be frozen like a petite lady like her? I looked down and saw that her cheeks were red with redness, some tears could not condense, and her mouth was cracked.

I was immediately distressed and amused: "Why are you doing this?"

"I just want to figure out what he means!"

As she said, she raised her head and looked at me again, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Yan, I am not trying to mess with him. I really want to see him and want to explain it to him. I don't want to enter the palace or marry the emperor. If he is willing to marry me, no matter how difficult it is, I must marry him; if, if he doesn't want me, he will explain it to him!"

I looked at her heartbroken and wanted to comfort her, but I didn't know how to speak.

What should I say? She asked Wu Yanqiu to explain it clearly. Wu Yanqiu has already explained to me that he would not marry Yang Jinyao. It was not that he didn't like her. On the contrary, he liked her too much. This innocent girl and a free soul, but the more he did this, the more he understood that she could not be a qualified wife. Even after marrying him, she could no longer be the former Yang Jinyao. Her soul would be imprisoned by her future identity and responsibility.

What else can you say?

My heart was as painful as a knife, and I heard Yang Jinyao's voice soften, tears rolling down, and I looked at me and said, "Sister Yan, you said, if I hadn't been pretentious at the beginning and had been trying to make trouble, I agreed to marry him, wouldn't it be fine now?"

“…”

"Did I marry him long ago? We're already fine?"

“…”

Looking at her appearance, I didn't know what to say, so I just sighed and gently hugged her in my arms.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Jinyao burst into tears with a "wow".

I hugged this helpless child and let her cry for a long time. Until she was tired of crying and fell asleep in my arms, I gently helped her to lie on my bed. She probably stayed outside the Wu Mansion last night and didn't sleep all night. At this time, she was so tired that she turned over and mumbled and fell asleep again.

There are still tears in the corners of the eyes.

I gently put down the curtain, stood by the bed and looked at her for a while. When I walked out, I saw Caiwei still waiting at the door. When I saw me, I immediately asked, "Madam, what's wrong with Miss Yang?"

"fine."

I lowered my voice and said softly: "I asked someone to go to Yang's house to spread a message, and said that their lady was here for me and came last night. I kept her here for a night. I asked them to come and pick people up later."

"yes."

After a while, the people from the Yang Mansion came. It turned out that Yang Jinyao buried her pillow in the quilt last night to dress up as she was, and she sneaked out to stay outside the Wu Mansion. Early this morning, the maid went to clean the room and woke her up, but she found that her lady was missing. She was so scared that she hurried to tell Yang Wanyun and Mrs. Yuerong that the whole mansion turned up and down to look for her. When she received the news from me and knew that she was with me, she immediately came to pick her up.

It was Yang Jinqiao who walked off the carriage.

As soon as she stood still, she immediately asked, "Where is Jin Yao?"

“In my room.”

"Take me to see."

"good."

After a few words, I took her in. When she stepped over the high threshold, she subconsciously raised her head and looked at the plaque on the door, and her eyes flashed.

As we walked in, the elegant pavilions and towers were hidden in the hazy snow mist, with snow pressing on the branches and ice ridges under the eaves. It was also a world of pink and jade-made, and it was spotlessly clean.

Walking to the steps at the door, she stopped and turned her head and looked at me with a smile.

I looked at her, raised my eyebrows, as if asking "What's wrong".

She said, "Are you not afraid of attracting wind in your house?"

I smiled and said, "There is no chance that the tree will be big, so you can't stop just because it attracts wind."

She glanced at me again, then turned around and walked in.

Yang Jinyao was still sleeping heavily in the bed. Yang Jinqiao walked over and woke her up a few times. She rubbed her eyes in a daze: "What are you doing, Sister Yan..."

"Look at who I am!"

When Yang Jinqiao heard Yang Jinqiao's voice, Yang Jinyao was stunned for a moment, immediately woke up, and suddenly widened her eyes: "Ah?"

Seeing that she was about to be stupid, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Jin Yao, you slept with me all night last night, and didn't bother to ask someone to go back and send a message. Do you know how worried Lord Yang and your mother are? They have been looking for you for a long time."

"ah……"

"Your sister is here to pick you up, hurry up and go back, ah."

At this time, she finally woke up, nodded quickly, then turned over and slid down from the bed. Yang Jinqiao looked at us singing with a heavy face, but she didn't say anything, but just stood aside and watched. Yang Jinyao hurriedly leaned down to put on her shoes, and I asked again, "Do you want to eat something before going back?"

She looked up at Yang Jinqiao, as if she was afraid of her sister, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, I'd better go back early."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Sister, we--"

"Why don't you go out quickly, do you want me to invite me?"

When she heard her words, Yang Jinyao hurriedly lowered her head and rushed out. Before she walked to the door, she looked back at me, nodded at me gently, and then left.

Yang Jinqiao and I looked at each other, but didn't say anything. The two of us also turned around and walked out.

Seeing that she was about to reach the gate, she said calmly: "Last night, she was really here with you?"

I smiled: "It's better than being somewhere else."

“…”

She glanced at me, her eyes flashed, as if there was a lot of things to say, but she didn't say it at this time. After a while of silence, she said, "Do you think Jin Yao really would be willing to marry Wu Yanqiu?"

"Why ask this?"

She couldn't help but frowned: "Wu Yanqiu is much older than her."

I originally wanted to say, "If even Miss Jinyao doesn't mind, why worry about this?" But when I remembered the words Wu Yanqiu had said to me before, I couldn't say this sentence, so I just smiled faintly, but unexpectedly, Yang Jinqiao frowned slightly, as if muttering to herself: "I really didn't expect that she would accept that..."

Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be still deeply worried about this matter.
