The huge movement downstairs aroused Jiang Lecheng's curiosity.

He stood up again and saw Li Yuyan holding a little girl who was crying like a tabby cat in her arms and comforting her, and the people around her were clapping and applauding.

Ye Yiheng sat back down and took a sip of wine.

No matter how kind-hearted the daughter of the Li family is on the surface, she can't stop the fact that she was forced upon him by the emperor's old man, let alone the fact that she is a virtuous concubine!

However, to be able to rescue people from such a fast carriage, it seems that she has some skills.

Ha, Concubine Xian is really well-intentioned and actually found a skilled person to be his concubine.

At this time, a woman wiped away her tears and picked up the little girl, thanking Li Yuyan profusely: "Thank you very much for saving my life!"

While talking, he must take Li Yuyan to her house for dinner.

"No need, it's just a little effort." Li Yuyan nodded slightly and left the crowd.

After watching the excitement, Jiang Lecheng sat down again and murmured: "To be honest, the Li family girl is a pretty good person."

Ye Yiheng: "How about I give her to you and be your prince's wife?"

His voice was cold and calm, without any ripples, as if he was talking to someone who didn't matter.

Jiang Lecheng, who was familiar with him, shuddered and said, "Don't say goodbye!"

——

Li Yuyan returned to Li Mansion and was stopped by her father while passing through the hall.

"Do you still want to come back? You left the palace earlier than me, so why am I the one who got home first?"

"Sir, please calm down. Children always have a playful spirit. When I was young, I also liked to wander on the street." Ms. Feng comforted her, "Yu Yan, have you had lunch outside?"

"Humph, you still speak for her! How dare a girl who is about to get married have the nerve to hang out on the street?"

"Master, Yuyan has not been in Beijing for five years. The prosperity of the capital is naturally attractive."

The corners of Li Yuyan's lips twitched slightly. On the surface, Feng was trying to comfort her, but in reality, she was sarcastically saying that she was ignorant and did not look like a lady at all.

"Don't speak for her!" Li Zongfa turned his face and asked angrily, "Let me ask you, why did you refuse the marriage just now?"

"Didn't my father also see his daughter's ugly face at that time? Although His Highness the Crown Prince is blind, my daughter knew that she could not match him, so she asked the emperor to take back his decree."

"The emperor has issued an edict, why should I discuss it with you? Besides, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. What you just said was too imprudent. My father will punish you by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights."

"My father knows very well how this marriage came about. It is not a marriage that belongs to me, so you asked your daughter to marry on my behalf. My daughter just told the truth, what's wrong?"

He was probably afraid that the emperor would change the candidate, after all, Li Manting was his heartthrob.

Li Yuyan could personally feel the disappointment and despair she felt when the original owner was abandoned five years ago. The original owner was poisoned at that time. Under those circumstances, how painful it must have been for her at such a young age.

"You bastard, why don't you go to the ancestral hall!" Li Zongfa's face changed several times, and he was obviously very angry. He said loudly to the door, "Someone, please escort the fifth lady to the ancestral hall for me!"

Strong women came over immediately and tried to drag Li Yuyan away.

Miaozhu quickly protected his young lady.

How can Miaozhu's small body compare with these strong women?

Patting her shoulder lightly, Li Yuyan turned sideways and looked at Li Zongfa, with a cold smile on her lips under the veil: "I can walk by myself."

His eyes swept over Feng who was acting coyly on the side. Li Yuyan lowered her long eyelashes to cover up the cold light that flashed in her eyes.

Feng knew very well what Li Yuyan was like in the mansion five years ago.

He is soft-spoken, timid and afraid of getting into trouble. With his good looks, he persuaded the Wei family to arrange a marriage early. You must know that five years ago, the Li family was not the Marquis Mansion, but the Wei family had long been the Shangshu Mansion.

The only time in my memory that Little Hoozi said harsh words was the day he was kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion.

Now that her good skin is gone, she is on the mend.

Just now Li Zongfa returned home and told Mrs. Feng how ugly her daughter's face was when she saw her in the palace.

Feng frowned. Could it be that the ruined appearance made her bolder?

In the ancestral hall, the women watched the master and servant kneeling in front of the memorial tablet.

It wasn't until it got dark that the women left.

She hadn't eaten lunch, and it was already past dinner time, and Miaozhu's stomach kept rumbling.

"Miss, are you hungry?" Miaozhu crossed his kneeling legs and took out a lot of food from his purse and pocket.

"You take it all with you." Li Yuyan smiled happily.

When they first arrived at Shangougou, the two of them didn't have much to eat. From then on, Miaozhu developed a character that he couldn't bear to let her go hungry and would hide some food anytime and anywhere.

"If Madam Xian knew that Miss was bullied on her first day back in Beijing, she would definitely be heartbroken." Miao Zhu took out a piece of candied fruit and stuffed it into Miss's mouth. She only took a small bite of the pastry and put it back.

Li Yuyan put the cake back into her hand: "Eat more, I'm not too hungry."

"Miss!" she called out, Miaozhu's tears fell down, and she sniffed quickly, "I'm afraid no one will come to deliver food in the past three days, so I'd better eat half a piece."

"You can just eat. If no one lets us out later, I will take you out." After saying this, Li Yuyan knelt down on the futon devoutly and kowtowed several times to her mother's memorial tablet.

Miao Zhu saw this and kowtowed accordingly.

As it was approaching midnight, footsteps were heard outside the ancestral hall. In the dead of night, when people were quiet, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

The master and servant hurriedly put away their food and knelt down again.

It turned out that Li Manting brought someone here.

"Sister, get up quickly and go back to your room to rest."

The voice is delicate.

The maid next to her interjected: "It was our third young lady who begged the master to let the fifth young lady out. For this reason, the third young lady was punished by the master."

"I want you to talk more." Li Manting turned her head to scold the maid, then turned to face Li Yuyan, her eyes showing just the right amount of concern.

But the fierceness that flashed across his eyes was captured carefully by Li Yuyan.

Since they can pretend, she can too.

"Is the third sister injured somewhere, or does the third sister have to kneel on her behalf?" Li Yuyan was helped up by Miaozhu, and the two of them swayed in tacit understanding.

It was obviously caused by kneeling for a long time.

Li Manting smiled softly: "That's not true. My father just punished me for copying."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

"I often practice calligraphy on weekdays, so it won't be a problem. My sister has not liked reading and writing since she was a child. She has been in the mountains for five years and may have neglected her studies. It's good that she can take on some of the work."

While she was talking, Li Manting's "concerned" eyes were fixed on her face, as if she wanted to poke a hole in her veil.

Li Yuyan had a smile on her lips: "Thank you, Third Sister."

After the two chatted for a while, they went back to the hospital.

After clear words, Mother Zhao distressedly asked her young lady and Miaozhu to eat more.

Li Yuyan ate some food, and then said softly: "Mother Zhao, please go to the back alley of the East Palace tomorrow morning to find someone to chat with. You said that the fifth lady of the Li family was delicate and frail, and she knelt down in the ancestral hall.

It won’t work if it’s too late.”
