"Master, does Prince Rui go to the yamen every day? Or are they all in that house?" Zuo asked.

The brows of the prefect Peng frowned into the word "chuan". He didn't like Zuo's inquiries about these things: "What are you asking about this?"

Zuo heard the disgust in her husband's tone. She grabbed the veil in her hand and looked at it. This is the man she liked. If it weren't for marrying him, how could she have been separated from her parents' family and how could she end up in the current state?

Back then, if the Zuo clan had arranged a marriage for her instead of trusting her uncle's vision, and with the identity of being the legitimate daughter of the Zuo family, she would have been the chief wife of the aristocratic family, rather than marrying Peng Wenqiu, who had no background in the court, suffered a year after year, and finally sat in the seat of the prefect, but in a breath she would be shattered.

"I asked what I did? It's not for you, for our family!" Zuo felt wronged. She closed her eyes and tears flowed down her face. "You don't think about yourself, but also think about your son, think about your daughter. The son is about to have a provincial exam. If he knows your current situation, how else will he take the exam? Even if he passes the exam, what future will he have? And his daughter..."

"Shut up!" Before Zuo could finish his words, he was interrupted by the prefect Peng. Their eldest son, who already had the reputation of a scholar, returned to his ancestral home two months ago, preparing for the provincial examination not long after.

Prefect Peng also felt sorry for his children, especially his son, but he didn't dare to think about it, let alone hear someone mention it.

Prefect Peng turned around and walked out.

Looking at his back, Zuo gritted his teeth. She was really blind back then, how could she marry such a man?

She remembered that Su family, who had met several times when she was young, also had their biological mothers who died prematurely and her father rekindled, but in terms of appearance or family background, Su family was not as good as hers.

She believed in her uncle's vision and agreed to the marriage with the Peng family. Her father was furious after hearing this because the Zuo family was preparing to marry the Wu family at that time. She believed that her father wanted to use her for profit and sell her daughter for honor. She did not hesitate to rebel with the entire Zuo family and wanted to marry Peng Wenqiu.

At that time, the Zuo family had no right daughter of age except her. The marriage with the Wu family was not successful. The Su family was found to be bargained and the Su family married into the Wu family's legitimate house.

Later, when Peng Wenqiu was a high school scholar, Zuo was proud and asked about Su's situation quietly. Su's husband was defeated.

Later, Peng Wenqiu passed the Jinshi, and the Zuo family finally accepted this son-in-law, while Su's husband was still a scholar.

Things in the world are unpredictable. Who would have thought that more than 20 years later, the young master of the Wu family, who failed the exam many times, had become an important member of the Beijing center. What did he rely on? It was not the help of the family.

Although Peng Wenqiu is also a fourth-rank official, he can be pushed to the bottom of the valley if there is a little storm. The family background is too important, but Peng Wenqiu does not.

After thinking about it, Zuo decided to take a try.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to inquire about the government office. A few days later, Zuo received the news.

Prince Rui has set off for his journey back to Beijing, and the second son of Lu Jinxing, who is now staying in the government office to deal with the aftermath is Lu Jinxing.

Zuo was shocked, Prince Rui left like this?

And he walked silently.

Lu Jinxing? Who is that?

But Zuo soon knew who this was.

He was born in the second wife of the Lu family and was with Prince Rui since childhood. He was the one who Prince Rui trusted the most.

More importantly, although the Lu family is not a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is a real noble family.

The second young master Lu was born with a handsome talent, and he was a true zhilan and jade tree. Among them, the second young master Lu was not married yet.

A raging fire ignited in Zuo's heart, and she saw hope!

Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai prepared their clothes early. Yan Xuehuai looked depressed since that day and had no energy in doing anything. Chai Yan knew that his coriander was worried about Fusheng, and he was also worried that although he had no friendship with Fusheng, Fusheng was not only Zhou Wanqian's fiancé, but also Qi Wei and Li Qi Niang were treating him as his godson. Now Li Qi Niang is pregnant. If Fusheng has a good relationship...

Chai Yan is very self-aware. In his heart, Cicai can only rank second, and Li Qiniang is the most important person.

Yan Xuehuai said it many times, and she said that Li Qiniang was the best person to her.

Chai Yan asked, "Am I not good to you? I have been nice to you from the beginning."

Yan Xuehuai said: "You are good to me for a purpose. If I am not a woman, but a man or a man, can you still treat me well from the beginning? But my mother will, no matter whether I am a man or a woman, beautiful or ugly, she will do her best to be nice to me."

Chai Yan had nothing to say. He treated Yan Xuehuai and Yan Xuehuai treated him. Both of them started with appearance. If Yan Xuehuai became a man, or a man or a woman... Forget it, Chai Yan didn't want to think about it deeply.

Therefore, Chai Yan now understands Yan Xuehuai very much. As soon as the reply from Beijing arrived, he took Yan Xuehuai and left Jiangning Mansion quietly.

Chai Yan originally thought that Yan Xuehuai's mood would gradually improve when he embarked on the return journey, but Chai Yan soon discovered that Yan Xuehuai's spirit not only did not improve, but instead became more and more unsatisfied. He could fall asleep after getting on the carriage. He slept all the way during the day and arrived at Guanyi at night. He didn't have time to eat and fell asleep.

Chai Yan finally felt something was wrong. The most important thing his coriander is his energy, but now there is no energy, like a sleepy kitten.

"Go and invite a doctor." Chai Yan walked out of the bedroom and said to Zhenzhu in a low voice.

Pearl also felt that something seemed wrong with the princess. He didn't dare to delay, so he went to ask the postmaster and soon hired an old doctor who was over 60 years old.

The old doctor entered the inner room and saw that the curtain was hanging down and could not see the person inside. Two maids stood in front of the bed and saw the old doctor. One maid brought a brocade and asked him to sit down, while the other maid took out a hand from the curtain and covered it with a silk handkerchief.

Because the old doctor was old, he was often invited to the official post to see the officials' families. When he saw the tent hanging, he guessed that the one inside must be a young female family member. The old doctor lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and focused on the pulse. After a while, he signaled the maid to change his hands and diagnose both wrists. The old doctor bit and got up and left.

Chai Yan was wearing casual clothes and sat outside. When he saw the old doctor coming out, he asked, "Is the inner child still healthy?"

The old doctor smiled. Seeing that Chai Yan was not old and did not wear official uniforms, he guessed that this might be the young master from the official family, and the young grandmother was there.

The old doctor bowed to Chai Yan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the young master, grandma is happy, but the time is still shallow and the pulse is not obvious."

Chai Yan was stunned, a little disbelief: "Are you happy?"

"Yes, yes, the old man has no other skills, and he can still get this happy pulse." The old doctor was very proud. Not to mention, if he changed to a young doctor, he would not be able to diagnose it for a while, but he was different. He had not had two hundred happy pulses in his life, and there were still one hundred and eight.

"How long has it been?" Chai Yan still couldn't believe it. Before he heard about Fusheng's incident, his coriander was still full of vitality. How could he say he got pregnant?

"After a month, you have found the right person to find me. It's not easy to diagnose it in such a young month." The old doctor became more and more proud of it. Looking at this young man, he must have become a father for the first time. Look at his silly look, well, this time the medical fee must be indispensable.

Chai Yan was still stupid, and Pearl sent the old doctor out. Before leaving, he called "Seventh Master". Chai Yan woke up like a dream and hurriedly said, "Three times the consultation fee, and the silver reward is fifty taels, no, one hundred taels!"

He is going to be a father, and fifty taels are not enough, at least one hundred taels!

The old doctor left the official office in a dizzy manner with three times the medical fee and ten heavy ingots.

Seeing the carriage waiting by the roadside, the old doctor pulled out a handful of white hair from his head. It hurts, it hurts, it’s really painful, it’s true.

Pearl personally sent the old doctor home. Halfway through the way, the old doctor asked, "Brother, your old master is a high-ranking official, right?"

Pearl smiled and said, "Well, it's not a small official."

"No wonder, I just said that if you act so generously, you will definitely be a high-ranking official at home." The old doctor was filled with emotion. It was the first time he had been a doctor in his life that he had encountered such a big head.

In the official office, Chai Yan rubbed his hands and walked around the house. Dill came out of the inner room and his eyebrows moved. When did he have any more problems with rubbing his hands? This is not a good problem. Flies rub their hands. Are you happy and stupid?

She heard from the mothers that she had been stupid for three years after pregnancy. Could it be that the princess was stupid for the prince when she got pregnant?

"Master Qi, do you think you should find a wise and ask about it and see what Mrs. Qi should pay attention to."

In fact, before leaving the capital, the queen wanted to send two older nannies to accompany her. The prince and the princess didn't want either, so the prince refused directly.

There is also an imperial physician who was sent away by the prince.

Now, if the princess hadn't been sleeping in a daze and didn't even care about it, the prince wouldn't remember to ask the doctor to come for a pulse.

Chai Yan suddenly realized, yes, it is urgent to find someone who knows what he knows.

But he was not at ease when he went to find any one outside.

The next morning, Yan Xuehuai finally had a moment of awakening, and Chai Yan couldn't wait to tell her the good news.

Yan Xuehuai was stunned immediately. Is she pregnant?

No, she remembered that she came here not long ago. When did she come and when did she come?

Well, Yan Xuehuai remembered it. Mu Xiang usually remembered her little days. This time she went out of Beijing, she didn't bring Mu Xiang.

Her life has never been accurate, but it never hurts. Therefore, Yan Xuehuai didn't care. She was the same in her previous life. She didn't have it before she was twenty, but suddenly it was correct after she was twenty. So, she asked Mu Xiang to remember this just to handle the errands, because the palace Madam Yan Xi would check it regularly.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the last little day she was still at the Ma Family Festival, and it has been a long time since she was there.

Yan Xuehuai was dejected and her energy disappeared in the end.

Chai Yan then remembered that his Coriander didn't want to have a child so early, and he didn't want to do that at that time, so he was indeed very careful. Of course, he was in a state of pride and could not be paid attention by paying attention, so he...

Yes, he obviously doesn't want a child, but why is he so happy when he heard the news of Coriander getting pregnant?

Chai Yan regretted it. He shouldn't have acted so excited in front of Coriander. He should...

"Sister Huai, if you want to blame me, give me your hand and bite it hard to relieve your anger."

Chai Yan handed his claws.

Yan Xuehuai yawned and said lazily: "I don't eat raw meat. You roast it first before letting me bite it."

Chai Yan...Wife, you are cruel enough!

In the end, Yan Xuehuai made the final decision and asked the wife of the Yicheng to accompany her to Beijing.

The wife of the Yicheng was well-educated and polite, and had a dignified appearance. More importantly, the wife of the Yicheng gave birth to two sons and one daughter, and all three children survived, and they were all white and fat, healthy.

Chai Yan and his party lived in the official post and did not indicate their identity. He used the official post of his brother-in-law Zou's princess. The official secretary only thought that he was Zou's princess' brother.

Mr. Zou had two younger brothers and six cousins. When the Yicheng heard that Zhenzhu and Liuli called Chai Yan "Qiye", he thought that this was Mr. Zou Qi, but he didn't know that the real Mr. Zou Qi was only fourteen years old this year.

Now that I heard that I wanted to invite Mrs. Yi Cheng to Beijing with me, Yi Cheng was shocked.

He was just a minor official and never thought that he could be promoted in his life. He was satisfied with the nobles who passed by him when he was relaxed and gave him some rewards.

However, unexpectedly, the younger brother of the prince-consort actually wanted to borrow his wife. No, it should be the sister-in-law of the prince-consort, and he wanted to ask his wife to accompany him to Beijing.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The first reaction of the official secretary was to refuse. No, this was not possible.

When Yan Xuehuai heard that the postmaster refused to agree, she breathed a sigh of relief. If the postmaster really agreed, she would have to think about it carefully.

She asked Zhenzhu to go to the county government office. An hour later, the county magistrate came here to make a guarantee. What should I guarantee that Mr. Zou Qi and Grandma Zou Qi are not liars, and Mrs. Yicheng did not encounter human traffickers.

If the magistrate comes forward, if the postmaster refuses again, it will be a shame.

But the wife of Yicheng couldn't bear to part with her three children. It would take at least three months to go back and forth. She held her youngest daughter and kissed her again.

The next day, the wife of the postmaster was with Yan Xuehuai and set out on the way to the capital.

The postmaster's surname was Tao, and his wife's surname was Tao. Yan Xuehuai knew that the same surname could not get married in ancient times. She was curious and lost her sleepiness. She asked, "You have the surname Tao, and you and your husband are both Tao?"

Tao nodded and shook his head again: "I'm not hiding it to my grandmother. In the past few years, I met my mother-in-law and my husband. My mother-in-law pity me and changed my name to Tao Xi. Later, I married my husband, but I didn't change my name. The official in the yamen knew that I had fled and had no blood relationship with my husband's family, so I got a marriage letter."

Yan Xuehuai looked at Tao and saw that she looked about thirty years old and was fair and delicate, and asked, "What was your original surname? Where is your family? Was he separated from his family back then?"
