"You, you..." Ye Sijin hesitated, "Don't you have some... estrangement in your heart?"

Although she knew that Concubine Rong might have traveled through time, Concubine Rong had no mother-child affection for Ling Chu, so she did not ask Ling Chu to help investigate Concubine Rong's past affairs, but relied on herself and Yiliu to investigate. Unexpectedly, this time

Ling Chu brought her here directly.

"After so many years, I have already forgotten her. It is important to know the secret of the jade case." Ling Chu said.

Ye Sijin and Ling Chu entered the house, and Granny Fang asked Ping An to boil water and make tea.

"It's true..." Granny Fang stared at Ling Chu's face. His face was similar to the eldest lady, but more masculine and completely different from the eldest lady. "It's really the young master, no, he should be the prince.

"

Granny Fang didn't know what was going on outside. She had stayed in this house all her life. She had no idea who was the emperor outside. She only knew that if the eldest lady entered the palace, the child she would give birth to would naturally be a prince.

"Then this is the prince's concubine." Granny Fang looked at Ye Sijin, wanting to step forward but didn't dare. She looked at the two of them with tears in their eyes, "The eldest lady has a child, the eldest lady has a child."

"Grandma Fang." Ye Sijin stepped forward and helped Grandma Fang, "You are not in good health, please sit down first."

"I'm sorry." Granny Fang said hurriedly, "The prince and concubine are here to help."

"Grandma Fang, you're welcome. For the sake of convenience when we go out, it's better to call by name," Ye Sijin said.

"Don't forget the rules, let's call you young lady." Granny Fang seemed very happy to see Ling Chu, and seemed to see the shadow of Jiang Yuerong, "In a blink of an eye, the young master has grown so big, I thought I was an old man.

I can’t see you anymore.”

Ye Sijin said, "I have long wanted to come and see... the place where my mother and concubine used to live, but it is not convenient to leave the capital. Today I am free to leave the capital."

"Yes, yes, the royal discipline is strict. I wonder how your mother and concubine are doing?" Granny Fang held Ye Sijin's hand, "I haven't seen her in so many years."

Ye Sijin couldn't bear to tell her the news of Concubine Rong's death. She was already so old and it would be difficult for her to bear the pressure. "Okay, very good. I just can't leave the palace to visit you, so I asked us to come."

"That's good, that's good. She is living a good life, and I feel at ease even if I die." Granny Fang closed her eyes and smiled, "I feel at ease."

"Mother-in-law, can we look around and see where my mother-in-law used to live?" Ye Sijin said.

Granny Fang nodded, "Of course, your mother-in-law's home is your home. It's just that it hasn't been cleaned for so many years and it's a bit messy."

She was able to speak before Ping An, but her family didn't like girls and thought she was a burden. They beat her and scolded her, and didn't allow her to eat. When she got sick, they didn't give her money for medical treatment. That's why she became mute. She was also a bit crazy. Later, she became mute.

After being kicked out, Granny Fang picked it up.

Ping An was very capable, and she could chop wood, cook, and cook. She had been taking care of Granny Fang for so many years, and Granny Fang also gave her a place to stay.

Ye Sijin took Ling Chu out of the front hall and walked to the backyard. The roses all over the walls of the courtyard were in bloom, and the swing seemed to be back in the Rongxi Palace.

She still remembered this place and walked to Granny Fang's house. The painting was still hanging on the wall as before.

"Look." Ye Sijin pointed to Lin Cen's painting. The woman on it still had a ponytail and a bright smile.

Ling Chu stood still and looked at the painting, but suddenly remembered the past.

At that time, he was young. He woke up in the middle of the night, crying and wanted to see Concubine Rong. He ran out of Youbi Palace and lost all his shoes. He found Rongxi Palace, but was locked outside the palace gate and froze all night. The second

One morning, I met Concubine Rong going to pay her respects to the Queen. She only glanced at him and left. Her contemptuous look was completely different from the woman in the painting...

Concubine Rong had never smiled at him like this before. In her eyes, she was just a discarded chess piece.

Ye Sijin held Lingchu's hand, "Maybe they are not the same person at all, just like me."

"Don't worry, it's all in the past. It doesn't matter whether it's the same person or not." Ling Chu's words were calm and gentle.

Ye Sijin knew that he had suffered a lot before he could say such words, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought you here."

"If you stand by my side, everything will be fine." Ling Chu held Ye Sijin's hand and intertwined their fingers.

Ye Sijin entered Jiang Yuerong's boudoir. It looked like someone had cleaned the dust inside, and it was not so thick.

"Ledger?" Ye Sijin opened a thick book, which was full of modern calculation methods, not ancient ledgers. "There are so many, what kind of shop is this?"

Ling Chu knocked on the wall and found no secret passage.

"So much." Ye Sijin pulled out a few more books from below, "There are no accounts recorded in them, and there is no writing on them. The expenses are also a bit huge."

Ye Sijin handed several brochures to Lingchu, but she didn't see what was wrong.

"This is a bank." Ling Chu pointed to the symbols on the top of each page, "This is shipping."

"Ah? How did you know?"

"This is a special mark among secret guards." Ling Chu closed the account book, "Did the emperor's uncle tell her?"

Ye Sijin said, "The mark of the secret guard? So Concubine Rong is in charge of these? Shipping, banks, restaurants..."

The industries that Ling Chu took over were all handed over to him by Prince Yu. Later, under Ling Chu's management leadership, these industries grew stronger. There were shops he took over in both land and water in Dayuan Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be like this

A huge secret guard system is unrealistic without economic support.

These industries are actually related to Concubine Rong, but Prince Yu has never mentioned them.

"Perhaps, it's just that the emperor's uncle put the account book here." Ling Chu said.

"But how does your uncle know about modern calculation methods? This is too strange." Ye Sijin said, "You don't want to say that Concubine Rong taught your uncle, do you?"

"Maybe."

In addition to these account books, there are also some books and some picture scrolls, all of which are signed by Lin Cen when opened.

There is only one painting, which is signed by the name Jiang Rong.

This painting shows the back figures of two people, one tall and one short. One is sitting on a swing and the other is standing next to them. They are particularly harmonious, but they have no frontal faces.

"Do you think this is your uncle?" Ye Sijin pointed to the tall and thin figure, "Jiang Rong is actually Concubine Rong's original name. Has your uncle ever mentioned Concubine Rong?

"

"Never." Ling Chu said.

"Since they are in love, how can they not think of each other?" Ye Sijin closed the scroll. "One is inside the palace wall, and the other is outside the palace wall."
