Chapter 23：

One night of spring rain and rain, I don't know how many times I woke up from the dream.

Ye Ping barely closed her eyes, the knife that was hanging invisible above her head actually landed on her pillow. No matter how big-hearted she is, no matter how much she believes that man will conquer nature, she will inevitably feel anxious.

She listened to the sound of rain outside, and watched the window turn from dark to light. Nearly dawn, when the rain stopped and the wind stopped, there was an unknown bird standing on the branch of the peach tree, chirping and frolicking.

Seeing the blue shadows in front of her eyes, Sanxi thinks that she is worried and sleepless because of what happened yesterday. Thinking about how soundly and dreamless I slept at night, I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"The servant girl also didn't sleep well all night, I wish the girl could share a little bit."

Ye Ping was speechless, but she had heard the girl's snoring all night. Sleeping so hard, I don't know if someone has tampered with it.

Thinking of the Yulong Saber, she was troubled again.

Obviously, the knife was left by Wen Yu. Even if it wasn't sent by him personally, it must have been done by his confidants. So unknowingly, it is frightening to think about it.

Whether it was a warning or a threat, she didn't know.

"Do you think King Wen will blame me?"

Sanxi was stopped by the question, she is not Prince Wen. If she is a man, if she is attracted by a beauty like his own girl, she will probably wake up laughing in her dreams at night.

"Girl, I don't think Prince Wen will blame you."

"Why?"

"Men are not all the same. They love power and beauty. Even the emperor is the same."

Ye Ping looked at the fat girl holding the water and handing the clothes meaningfully, thinking that she is indeed her girl, but she can see the essence through the appearance. It's a pity that Wen Yu doesn't like beauty at all, but only loves power.

At this time, there was movement outside, and it sounded like a guest had come to the door.

The visitor is the seventh son of the Wang family, whose full name is Wang Ping. Wang Ping yawned, as if he hadn't woken up. Obviously forced to get up early, with a bit of reluctance on his face. Behind him were two servants, each holding something in their hands, and it looked like they were here to give gifts and apologize.

In addition to apologizing, it also showed the Wang family's attitude.

Of course the Wang family would not admit to this matter, and all the faults were borne by the fourth wife of Wang alone. As soon as Mrs. Wang went back yesterday, she was reprimanded by the elders of the Wang family and sent to Zhuangzi overnight.

Wang Ping even yawned a few times, and his eyes flowed out.

"Fourth brother-in-law, please persuade the fourth sister, there is no reason for a married woman to be angry with her mother's family. Mother said that the fourth sister-in-law did not behave properly, and she was punished. Calm down. Mother also said, man If you are aiming at the court, you must not follow the woman's petty temper, so as not to delay your own future."

"Wang Qiye, I trouble you to go back and turn to the third old lady. My Ye family no longer has a daughter from the Wang family. My wife's surname is Ye."

Wang Ping's eyes flickered, "My surname is Ye. From now on, wouldn't it be called Ye Mei? It sounds nice."

Ye Geng always knew that this seventh uncle only knew how to eat, drink and play, but he never thought that the other party could speak so carelessly. The Wang family sent this person to make an apology, obviously they still didn't take them seriously.

He showed a refusal attitude and didn't want to talk to this person any more.

Wang Pingxu realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly made amends, "Where is the surname Ye who has the surname Wang? We are a century-old Wang family, which child will not be looked down upon when going out. Don't think too much about it. They are all women. Misunderstandings between people, how can we miss the business of our men. You listen to my advice and let Wang Mei take her niece back to ask her mother, this matter ends here."

"Whether the matter was done by Mrs. Wang Fourth, we know it, and your Wang family also knows it. Now that the matter has come to this point, there is absolutely no reason to reunite."

"...Okay, Ye Geng, you don't have to drink a toast. Do you know who you have relied on to gain a foothold in Beijing these years? Without our Wang family, do you think you can survive in Beijing?" Wang Ping said. Looking at the girl who was walking slowly, he squinted his eyes for a long time.

It's really vermilion lips and pink noodles, shining brightly.

Pity.

Ye Ping walked up to her father and said, "Occasionally I heard Miss Wen talk about our Ye family, saying that the Ye family is just a dog raised by the Wang family. If this dog is obedient, the Wang family will not be stingy with those three melons on weekdays." Two dates. Once the dog is disobedient, it will be driven far away and killed in a place where there is no one."

Ye Geng looked sideways, with a dull pain in his eyes.

Wang Ping opened his mouth, as if he heard something incredible.

Ye Ping said again: "Offending the Wang family, no matter how we look at it, we are all dead ends. If we don't agree to reconcile, then my father will be kicked out of Beijing. It will be a long way to go out of Beijing at that time, and I don't know if our family will live long enough A place to be released. But if we submit, then the lives of our family will be in the hands of the Wang family."

"Pingniang." Ye Geng said in pain. "It's too useless for the father."

Ye Ping knew that her father had listened to the words, she looked at Wang Ping, and said, "Everyone is dead, no matter how poor our Ye family is, we don't want to die silently. Please Wang Qiye go back and tell the Wang family, Although the ants are small, they don't accept their fate. No matter how deep the roots of the Wang family are, there will be a day when the trees will fall and the monkeys will disperse. What's more, the law of heaven is clear, and there are still officials like Mr. Song and Mr. Wen in the Sheng Dynasty, so they will not just watch you The Wang family covered the sky and blocked the sun and ignored human lives."

Wang Ping seemed sleepy and yawned again.

"Okay, I'm just a messenger. Don't worry, I'll tell you back word for word. My niece, as a girl, it's better for you to be more tactful. It's so ugly outside, why do you bother?" ruined his reputation."

He walked out as he spoke, "Although some things are not pleasant to say, they also sound reasonable, but there are many unreasonable people in this world, and you can't just catch anyone and preach...Now everyone says that our Wang family and Xunfangguan has a virtue, and the elders in the family are very angry. You can't talk about it in private, and it will make us lose face by shouting..."

Ye Ping listened to his mumbling words, thoughtful.

This Wang Qiye is a bit interesting.

…

Outside the criminal department's yamen, the stone lions are still standing. The yamen guards guarding the gate looked serious with dark faces, but their constantly moving eyeballs revealed their curiosity and impetuousness.

In a corner not far away, a girl wandered with a girl for a long time. The girl held a tightly wrapped object in her hand, and looked into the yamen from time to time.

This girl was so beautiful that it was hard for the yamen guards to ignore her. One of them recognized her identity and whispered to his companions.

Therefore, they did not drive people away.

"Girl, didn't you say that you would never look for King Wen again, or pester him?" Sanxi was really puzzled, why did her girl come to find King Wen, and it seemed that she was here to give something.

Ye Ping didn't want to come either, but she had to. That King Wen left a knife at night is too scary, she has to come to find out the other party's intention no matter what.

"You don't understand, this is playing hard to get."

Sanxi seemed to understand but didn't understand, her eyebrows were knit together.

It seems that the girl hasn't given up yet, she is really worried.

I don't know how long it took, until her eyes were tired from staring at her for so long, the door of the criminal department's yamen finally opened. She quickly glanced at her girl, and saw her girl dozing off against the wall with that black thing in her arms.

She hesitated.

To wake up or not to wake up?

Just as she was struggling, Wen Yu and Song Jinyuan walked towards her.

Song Jinyuan's original solemn expression, when he saw the pair of master and servant in the corner, suddenly came alive like spring returning to the earth and everything on the earth was revived.

Thick walls of blue bricks, with clumps of green moss growing in the shadows. The girl in green was half leaning against the wall, dozing off with her eyebrows slightly closed. Her small jade-like face was buried, and she tapped it like a chicken pecking rice from time to time, making it look more and more soft and harmless.

Beautiful, gorgeous.

Like this spring scene, people feel pleasing to the eye.

"Isn't this Miss Ye?"

Ye Ping was in a daze when she heard someone mentioning herself. She stretched in an inelegant way, yawning and half-opening her eyes. At this sight, his eyes immediately opened wide, and he glanced at Sanxi resentfully from the corner of his eye.

This wronged girl, why didn't you wake her up?

Sanxi felt guilty and looked down at the ground.

Seeing Wen Yu's non-stop footsteps, Song Jinyuan quickly grabbed him, "Master Wen, someone is looking for you."

Wen Yu looked over coldly, and his eyes fell on the things in Ye Ping's hands.

Ye Ping looked extremely regretful, and looked very pitiful. "Junwang, little girl...my little girl will never dare again, this thing is for the county king."

With that said, he handed that thing forward.

When Song Jinyuan was about to take things over, he didn't want anyone to be faster than him.

This kid Wen Chengtian actually took something from Miss Ye!
