C59 (2/2)

Lian Yi was a miss of a Qian Jin after all, she had an idea in her heart, and said to Ershan: ”Besides, I am very filial, I can't give you any trouble, and the imperial officials are also very filial. If someone used this to falsely accuse your reputation, then it wouldn't be good.”

Ershan hurriedly said: ”It's fine, I know what to do.” His eyes flashed, but it was different from his usual bashful and honest look, but he said, ”I also have something important to do, Lian Yi, wait for me.”

Just as Meng Lianyi was about to speak, a woman in plain clothes came out of the house. She was her sister-in-law and said to her: ”Lian Yi, Mother wants to see you.

”I'll go back first. You go back earlier as well. You have to be careful on the way.” Meng Lianyi was reluctant to part with her, but it was not the time for her to be attached to a girl. Without hesitation, she turned and followed her sister-in-law into the room.

Ershan watched as the house door closed and they mounted the horses to return. The Li Prefecture s were extremely lively, even more bustling than the Baisha Town s and the capital city itself was at least a hundred times more lively.

After being away for thirteen years, could he still go back?

When he was six years old, how could he not remember where his home was? How could he not know his name? However, it was not time yet, so he did not need to remember.

After a while, everything will remember, and there will be an end to it.

Passing through the busy streets, Ershan whipped his horse and ran towards the tavern.

In the Residence of the Prefect, after entertaining the guests for a meal, Mrs. Meng called his daughter over and said coldly, ”Your father left in a hurry. He did not explain anything about the family's matters, especially the matter of your marriage. Today, your uncles told me that they were willing to arrange a marriage for you and choose a good marriage for you. ”Yi`er, your brother hasn't gained a reputation yet, but he is still a Young Master of the Prefecture, he can't be in dire straits like this. So, if I can use your marriage to exchange for something for him, I'll say that you've done your best for this family.”

Meng Lianyi's heart was cold. If it wasn't for the fact that she was worried that it would affect Ershan's career as a official, and that she wasn't even willing to participate in her father's funeral, she would have left this family with a great amount of filial piety.

What blood ties, what blood is thicker than water, go to hell.

”I heard from the people under the door that you saw that kid on the street again? He was just a wet behind the ears brat, running around the inn. He had just taken the Elementary Scholar examination, what could he possibly do? How can you not cherish yourself? You are the daughter of the Prefect. ”

Mrs. Meng chattered on endlessly: ”Now that your father is gone, listen to me about everything in the family. Once I disperse all those monsters, I will have you and your brothers watch over them all day and night, don't even think about going under my nose to look for that brat. Although I have no way of treating him, I can control you, so don't force me to be like your father and lock you up.”

Meng Lianyi said: ”Mother, don't worry. Lian Yi will definitely do everything that I can for this family, for my brothers and my nephews. It's just that my father's corpse has not turned cold yet. I am filial and cannot discuss marriage for three years. Otherwise, others would gossip and look down on us even more. Mother, I will not see that person again. Don't worry, after three years, you will marry me off so that you can change something for my family. ”

Mrs. Meng was overjoyed and hugged her daughter in his arms, ”Yi'er still dotes on me, daughter is still the most considerate.”

Lian Yi, on the other hand, smiled faintly in her mother's arms. Three years, after three years, Ershan would definitely be able to take her away.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed and Xiaowan's body had recovered greatly. It was a sunny day, so she got up early to open the shop. She stood in front of the door with a broom in her hand. The sunlight shone warmly on her body, making her feel as if her body was about to float.

A carriage slowly approached from the direction of Baisha Town. Xiaowan looked around curiously, there was no fragrance in the wind, so was it possible that someone from Siyun Pavilion was rushing towards the pier so early in the morning to catch a boat?

But the carriage slowly stopped, a slim lady jumped down from the carriage, she gave the coachman money, the carriage turned back, and she headed back to Xiaowan.

Xiaowan was startled, she squinted her eyes and looked, immediately her entire body became tense, she raised her broom, she did not know what to do, but while she was flustered, she was already in front of him.

”I'm here to eat green bean cake. Is there anything else?” Although she said that she was a girl, she wasn't. Her hair was tied up, just like the Xiaowan. She was a little woman, no, not a little woman.

The Xiaowan trembled and said, ”You, you …. ”Why are you here?”

Hearing the word ”you”, Siyan understood, her expression changed, her clear eyes dimmed, and asked: ”You know who I am, do you know who I am? ”Or …” She looked around, but there were no pursuers.

Xiaowan hurriedly threw her broom onto the ground and was about to kneel down and kowtow, but she was grabbed by Siyan. She gave him a pleading look, ”Don't be like this, you're still the same as before, just pretend you don't know me, alright?”

”But …” The Xiaowan stuttered as she carried a water basin to sprinkle water. She first saw a broom lying on the ground and asked loudly, ”Evening, what are you doing?”

As she walked out of the door, she suddenly saw another person, and Xiaowan was gesticulating at her with a nervous face, ”Empress, Queen.”

Aunt Zhang was stunned at first, then she laughed, what had gotten into her Ling Xiao Inn? Ever since she married into the Xiaowan, the people of the palace had all rushed here, hoping that the Little Empress' mother-in-law would not come again, so the Aunt Zhang did not like her.

As for the little empress, I have no enmity with her. A young child, upon seeing her, Aunt Zhang laughed, ”How come you're so early? Could it be that you're walking on the night path? Miss, do you want to go upstairs to sleep?”

Siyan laughed then and nodded his head, ”It's already been six hours since you came over from the neighboring counties by carriage before daybreak. I really want to rest easy and take some rest.”

She was invited to stay in the former Cloud Lake. Xiaowan dragged Aunt Zhang and asked nervously, ”Aunt, she is the empress, how can the empress run out of the palace so casually?”

Aunt Zhang rolled up her sleeves and said: ”Why can't I? Could it be that in this world, everything belongs to her?”
