Chapter 422: Tactics and Counter-Tactics

battle over three hundred years ago. At first, the Yue Kingdom was hesitant to intervene because Bei Qi had the Emperor's Master, Li Yuan. Although the Yue Kingdom was much stronger militarily than Be...He finally spoke up: “Just think of it as me making amends for what I owe you” 。“You killed me” Ye Wenyan shook his head. “Killing to repay a debt, the whole tavern could compensate” He also shook his head. "That's naturally not enough, but I've always kept this in mind, and in the future, whenever something good happens, I'll think of you" 。" You're being petty. I already said that matter is over, it's over! Why do you keep bringing it up It's something I don't even think about anymore, why do you always dwell on it" Ye Fei Zhou dodged and rubbed his aching arm, saying: "It's because you're so magnanimous that you don't mind. But I can't pretend like nothing happened." 。From a young age, I knew that there is no such thing as unconditional kindness in this world. Even between parents and their own children, whether it's good or bad depends on the circumstances. 。So some things I have to remember myself, the mistakes I make, I have to bear myself. Only when I've made enough amends can I truly let go. 。She grinned mischievously, “If all the good things come with conditions, then tell me, what conditions does Third Prince have for you I hear that you’ve known to run to people’s houses and complain for protection since you were little. What were you thinking back then Did you ever consider that these people weren't related to you by blood or marriage, and why they would protect a little brat like you They even made things difficult with the Ye family because of it.”“He……” Ye Fei Zhou was speechless, after a long while, he glared fiercely at Ye Wenyan, “Children shouldn’t pry into these matters” 。"Then tell me, who gave the money to open the restaurant Was it the Third Prince" "No," 。He answered succinctly. 。"If not him, then who Big Brother, don't tell me you saved it yourself. In our family, how much money could you possibly save I have a pretty good idea." 。It is said that when you first entered the Jianghu to learn martial arts, it was the Third Prince who provided the silver. This wine shop must have also been helped by the Third Prince. 。Second brother, to be honest, sometimes I really admire you. That Third Prince, ever since many years ago, has been acting like he's the only one who matters, "the world revolves around me." From when I was little, I found him quite scary and didn't want to look at him more than necessary. 。You're the only one who's not afraid of him and even go near him. 。"What were you thinking back then How did you end up begging for protection from him" Night Fei Zhou looked up at the sky, trying to change the subject. But as he spoke, his thoughts inevitably drifted back to over a decade ago, back to that palace banquet where he sat on the ground crying, only to be helped up by the Third Prince... 。“Maybe it’s because he was the first person to help me!” He thought to himself, and the words tumbled out. “People always have an unrealistic dependence on the first person who is good to them.” 。Back then, I was young and didn't know who he was or what kind of person he was. I just felt that the moment he lifted me up from the ground was incredibly solid and reassuring. 。Later I found out he was really quite fierce, said one word and that was it, many people were afraid of him. 。But compared to my parents, he's nothing. 。He paused here, then turned to Ye Wenyan: "The silver wasn't given to me by him. No one gave me any silver; they just gave me a shop." 。I've been thinking about you since winter. You always say you feel cold, and eating mutton will make you feel better. Coincidentally, this place used to be a wine house with a chef who makes delicious mutton dishes. So I left it to him, gave him some silver, tidied it up a bit, and opened it. 。"Xia Si, do you like it" There was a moment when Ye Wenyan was truly moved. 。Although she was loved in both her past and present lives, who wouldn't want more good people around them Having someone willing to care for her, even just her relatives this time around, made her feel like her life in this world was real and tangible, much warmer. 。But compared to the feeling of moving and warmth, what she cared about most was still that first question: "Who gave you the quilt" Night Fei Zhou refused to say, “Don’t ask, it wasn't stolen or robbed, I earned it fairly.” 。"This matter became a lump in Ye Wenyan's heart, and even after returning to her residence and entering her own courtyard, she was still thinking about it. 。Grandma Ji just came back from the cool courtyard, carrying a box of snacks in her hand, saying that they were made by the mistress herself. 。Although Ye Wen was already full, she still took a piece and put it in her mouth. She felt that the pastry skin was thin and the filling was ample, melting in her mouth. It wasn't very sweet, but had a hint of saltiness and scallion fragrance, exactly the kind she liked best. 。Unable to help but feel satisfied, he even cast a lightness spell on himself. 。The mutton, a bellyful of it, was instantly digested by the incantation. The snacks tasted even more delicious afterwards. 。

Jīmā mā was watching her eat, a satisfied smile on her face. “At such a young age, you should eat more. Only when you eat everything will it taste delicious, and that’s how life is interesting.”

One cannot ignore the pleasures of life, for that would be a betrayal of Heaven's blessings. 。" I won't disappoint, some people have disappointed many for many years. " 。But Grandma, don't worry, he knows how to repent now. He enjoys the flavors of human life so much that even my mother's dumplings are delicious to him. 。“Grandma Ji is a bit excited: “Why don’t we invite him to have dinner at our place Dumplings are best eaten fresh out of the pot.” 。" I feel like I'm being tricked. How come in this day and age, mothers don't urge marriage but grandmothers do “When I go back, I’ll take Grandma to meet him. Grandma can personally tell him “ 。"Who doesn't play tricks" 。Grandma immediately waved her hand, “The old slave was just talking, just talking, Miss Four, don’t take it to heart.” 。Even when cooled, dumplings still have a unique flavor, and they don't necessarily have to be eaten hot. 。Their conversation was incomprehensible to Xiangdong, but Zhuier and Jierong understood it perfectly. 。As a member of the Ji family, Ji Rong was naturally as timid as Old Madam Ji at this time. 。But Zhuier didn't have so many concerns. At that time, she immediately stated: "This kind of thing requires one party to take the initiative, but the one taking the initiative definitely cannot be a young lady. So it's right that my young mistress doesn't invite anyone." 。On the contrary, if the person being invited doesn't even know to be proactive, then they don't deserve to be invited to my mistress's house. 。She calculated while counting on her fingers, “It’s been several months now. I don’t know if he’ll take the initiative… Could it be that he’s just waiting for my young mistress to come to him No, no, that won’t do. My mistress has tasted defeat once; she absolutely cannot go through this again. " 。

Ji Rong's face turned pale, she kept tugging at Zhuier's sleeve and whispered, "Stop talking! That person has sharp ears. They might be listening right now. Zhuier, if they hear what you said, you'll be in deep trouble."

Who knew that the child, instead of being scared away, became even more determined—"If I hear it, I'll hear it. Even if it takes my life, I have to say it." 。He was wrong all along. He's been bullying my young lady and saying such sweet things right in front of me. 。 。Xiang Dongyue listened more and more, feeling something was amiss. The more he heard, the stronger his suspicion grew that he might have been right all along. 。She really wanted to ask Zhu'er what was going on, if the young lady had fallen for another man. 。Just like how she fell for the sixth prince back then, Bai Lai was determined to marry him despite knowing he was a scoundrel. In the end, they both ended up miserable. 。This time, she absolutely couldn't be like last time. This time, no matter who she had her eye on, she had to think carefully, really consider it three times!

But the words got stuck in her throat and she didn't ask. After all, she hadn't been slacking off in thinking about her young mistress these days. The result was that the more she thought about it, the scarier it became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the person backing up her mistress should be someone beyond the reach of ordinary people, a truly extraordinary figure. 。She even thought that her young mistress might have a big shot protecting her, which allowed her to live a more and more wonderful life. 。

How come Big Character doesn't sound as good today Zhuier's words made her anxious again, just like when her young mistress fell for the Sixth Prince. Ever since that engagement was announced, she hasn't had a moment of peace.

"Miss 。Xiangdong was a bit anxious and called out to her. 。Yè Wēn yán knocked his head lightly, waving his hand at the people beside him. "So I said, don't have everyone around me, it's too noisy." 。Okay, do what you need to do, don't worry about my affairs. Just eat and drink with me, that's enough. If anything really happens, I won't be polite to any of you. 。Okay, go ahead and get busy. Xiangdong can stay here to serve me. 。She waved her hand and sent everyone away. As she was leaving, she told Ji Rong: "You can't be afraid of him all the time. You have to be afraid for a reason." 。Now that you all work for the Fourth Miss, you can't always speak up for her. 。He bullies our Fourth Miss, no matter who he is, we have to fight him tooth and nail. 。In short, we absolutely cannot let the fourth Miss be taken advantage of!”

Countess Ji agreed. Ji Rong was still a little uncomfortable with this, so Countess Ji advised her: “Miss Zhu said right, when we arrived here, didn't His Majesty also say that following Fourth Miss, from now on, we are all people of Fourth Miss” 。No longer will I heed each household's rules, nor keep the promises made to uphold them. 。He is no longer our master, the Fourth Miss is. 。"

Ji Rong thought for a moment, then said, "Grandmother is right. I am no longer Ji Nu, but the maid of Fourth Miss."

"

Ye Wen listened to this, watching Zhuier turn around and close the door, then looked back at Xiangdong. He first apologized: "Don't ask, ask is an accident" 。I wasn't intentionally hiding this from you, I just didn't have the opportunity to tell you. 。Since you're so smart, you probably already guessed it. 。If I weren't related to that person in some way, he wouldn't have come to me so readily, and all three of them arrived at once. 。So you should also be mentally prepared, so as not to be too surprised. 。“ Xiang Dong took a deep breath, “Miss, this servant indeed had mental preparation, but the difference between preparing in my heart and hearing it from you personally is huge.” 。But Miss, please rest assured, I know what to ask and what not to ask, and what to say and what not to say outside. 。This matter, as long as Miss herself makes up her mind, the servant will definitely stand by Miss's side. 。"There's just one thing, Miss. You have to pay close attention this time. If you meet someone like the Sixth Palace Master again, we'll all be driven mad..."ad had been chopped off, still being meticulously scraped with a knife, yet not a drop of blood flowed, nor a whimper of pain from the decapitated person.
