Chapter 852: Old Acquaintances

t Granny Ji into here, I'll talk to her myself---" 。“ The little girl, Zhu'er, was very obedient and quickly called her grandmother, Ji Grandma, over. In the end, Ji Grandma also said the same thin...Ye Hongzhuang was beyond delighted at the time, and so was Pingxi Wang. He even promised her that as long as she gave him a son, he would make her a concubine.

In the Prince's Mansion, there could be many concubines. Prince Pingxi wouldn't mind giving Ye Hongzhuang a title. Of course, the prerequisite is to give birth to a son.

Ye Hongzhuang held high hopes for the child. To ensure the child's healthy growth and future well-being, she even followed the doctor's advice and regularly exercised by walking to keep herself fit.

As they were walking, one of them suddenly tripped and fell. The child was gone in an instant.

Yèhóngzhuāng, just thinking about this matter, felt resentment. She hated herself for not being steadied by her maidservant and she hated the concubine who had paved the path with stones, deliberately against her.

This matter has passed for half a year, and she still cannot let it go. Even when the concubine personally came to apologize to her and explained that the path was only laid for aesthetic purposes, never expecting her to actually walk on it.

In Lady Hong's view, the concubine was deliberately doing this. After all, who wouldn't want to take the more appealing path

Ye Hongzhuang forced herself not to think about it, because once she did, she couldn't control her emotions.

After two consecutive miscarriages, the doctor said her chances of becoming pregnant again were extremely low, bordering on impossible.

Although the lord acted as usual towards her, she knew that if she wanted to take things further, it would be incredibly difficult.

“Smoke paintings,” she stared at her maidservant, a sudden realization dawning on her. “I remember it was you who often mentioned that path and how the place was decorated beautifully by a concubine. It was your constant chatter that made me want to take a walk there.”

"I've heard enough of this, Madam. This isn't the first time, nor the second. If you truly find me displeasing, just tell the steward to send me away to serve someone else. Why keep me here if you find it so unbearable Don't tell me there's no one else in this household willing to attend to you besides me"

"Hmph! She's just a concubine, there are plenty of them in this household. What airs are you putting on Even the side consort doesn't have your attitude. And always bringing up that you're from the capital, it's embarrassing for me to be around you. If you were really successful in the capital, would you even end up here in Shui City You're just a discarded imperial concubine who ran here to play mistress! Who cares"

After finishing the painting, he turned and left.

This household is overflowing with women, so she wouldn't even care if she offended Ye Hongzhuang!

Back then, the two maids who hadn't held onto Ye Hongzhuang were only scolded and sent to do chores in another courtyard. They weren't even hit. This shows that the Lord doesn't truly care for his concubine. He only shows affection verbally but not genuinely.

As someone who was never on the prince's mind, she didn't care about offending him.

The smoke painting is gone, and Ye Hongzhuang didn't chase after scolding people anymore.

Today, she had finished everything she needed to do. There was one thing the imperial consort Guiyue valued very much, something that had been lost for months and no one knew it had been in her hands all along.

Today, she hid the object inside a snack and fed it to the young master. Let alone the concubine on that side, even if she racked her brains, she wouldn't have guessed that the thing was actually in her son's stomach.

As for whether the young master would get sick, or if that thing would be excreted, she didn't care at all.

If she's sick, so be it, he's not her son anyway.

It doesn't matter if it's excreted, anyway, it wasn't hers to begin with.

Her purpose was to make things difficult for that concubine. Her red makeup tonight wasn't scary anymore, but she was just a lowly life, no longer the noble third sister of a first-rank general's mansion, nor the legitimate wife of the esteemed prince.

She is now living day by day, making a profit from every opportunity. If there's no hope of avenging her parents, she will sell out Beiqi.

If she's not good, then no one else should be either.

Pingxi Prince's Residence was unusually quiet at night.

Ye Wen quietly gave Zhao Mama a needle, and Zhao Mama fell into a deep sleep.

She got up, dressed and went out, two handfuls of powder in her hand, scattering them as she walked.

Reliance on these two powders of medicine allowed her to make it all the way to the vicinity of Yehongzhuang courtyard.

Then she heard someone behind her, someone who moved with incredible lightness and agility. It seemed they had been following her the whole time.

She hadn't noticed it before, but now that it was intentionally revealed, she could see the flaw.

The most crucial thing was that this person showed no reaction to her kind of drug powder at all.

Who else could be immune to her drug powder besides Shi Li Yuan Only... only those who she has given the antidote to!

"Second brother" she called out without turning around.

He came over and hummed softly, hurrying to her side.

As expected, it's the Night Flying Boat.

“What are you doing out for a walk this late at night” he pulled her over, took a close look, and seeing that she was alright, he finally relaxed. “What brings you out You’ve been sleeping soundly these past few days, why are you so restless tonight”

"How did you know I've been sleeping honestly these past few days" Ye Wenyan was shocked, "You wouldn't be staying on my roof every night, would you "

Ye Fei Zhou said nothing, Ye Wen Yan knew he had guessed correctly.

She was really exasperated with this person, “Second brother, can't you live a normal life Do something ordinary for once!”

Ye Fei's boat was also angry, "If you did things in the human world, I wouldn't appear in the underworld. Do you think I want to sit on your roof Do you think I'm not tired But do I have a choice My sister went deep into the tiger's den, and you made me sleep in an inn. How big of a heart would I have to sleep Alright, stop talking nonsense, I just ask you, you captivated most of the masters in the palace, what did you come out to do What is this place"

Yè Wēn Yán didn't want to end the conversation just yet — "I had to use medicinal powder to drug a master in order to slip out. You, Er Ge, you were with me, sitting on my rooftop all night. Didn't you do anything at all"

"No way!" Ye Fei Zhou said confidently, "They won't be able to find me."

Ye Wenyan: "..." Alright, you win. "Come with me, since you're here, I'll take you to see an old friend."

The night ferry boat's passenger was an unknown acquaintance. But when she uttered the phrase "old friend," a strange unease gripped him inexplicably.

Until he followed Ye Wenyan to a courtyard and saw Ye Hongzhuang sitting opposite King Pingxi, he finally understood where this unease came from.

He patted Ye Wen's shoulder and silently asked her with his lips, "Why is Yè Hóngzhuāng here"

Night Temperature said, “I don’t know either. I met her by chance, but I disguised myself, so she didn't recognize me. However, I heard that she is now a concubine of King Pingxi and lives in Pingxi Palace. Second brother, what are your feelings about meeting an old acquaintance again”

Night Flyer shook his head, “I have no thoughts. Only that this world is truly laughable and doesn’t seem to intend to let me go…”t" Ye Wen Yan spread his hands, "If I wasn't doing it for Ye Lian Mian, I would have to do it for my mother. She treated me well, I can't hurt her heart. Otherwise, do you think I would still be with...
