The legitimate daughter was left to Zhuangzi and ignored for many years, and now when something happens, the legitimate daughter is asked to jump into the fire pit. It is really outrageous.
Ye Fuxun frowned.
According to Guan Qian's statement and the circumstances mentioned in the book, it is feared that Guan Qian really married the seriously ill man for her sister, so she became a widow at such a young age.
Many years later, he and his brother became husband and wife.
It would be fine if she didn't know about this, but if she knew the future, how could she let her sister-in-law be hurt like this?
She took a deep breath and patted Guan Qian's shoulder reassuringly: "Miss Guan, this matter won't be finalized for a day, and it might be possible to change things. Don't be discouraged. Let's see if there is any other way.
"
Guan Qian smiled gratefully.
Naturally, she didn't dare to take Ye Fuxun's words seriously.
Ye Fuxun's willingness to comfort her in this way was like a cluster of sparks in the cold winter, bringing her the greatest warmth during this period of time.
It's just the affairs in her house that outsiders can get involved in?
She was mentally prepared.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Ye Fuxun walked out and saw Eunuch Xu standing behind Ji Yannuo. He was respectfully whispering: "Madam, the two nuns next to the girl have boarded the boat and said they are here to take the girl back."
Ye Fuxun did not rush to respond to Eunuch Xu's words. He only held Ji Yannuo's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, I am a little hungry. Can you have some snacks first and then deal with other things?"
"Xu An."
Ji Yannuo glanced at Eunuch Xu lightly, and Eunuch Xu immediately understood: "I'm going to get some snacks for the empress."
Ye Fuxun winked at Ji Yannuo and tweeted in the air.
Ji Yannuo was stunned for a moment, then looked away awkwardly.
Ye Fuxun covered his mouth with a smile and wanted to go back to the inner room, but was suddenly pulled back by Ji Yannuo: "Don't stay too long."
"I'll spare you the trouble. Your Highness, please go to the deck to rest first. I'll take the stewardess out in a moment."
She just wanted to let the two servant girls live well for a while.
However, there was less than half an hour left before landing. Even if she wanted to hang out with the two servants, naturally she wouldn't be able to hang out for long.
Ye Fuxun took Guan Qian to have tea and snacks in the inner room, and talked to her for a while. Seeing that they were about to dock, he slowly walked out of the deck with Guan Qian.
Naturally, the three gentlemen were still chatting about their lives.
The two servants who were looking for Guan Qian were just servants, servants of other people's families, and they would not be taken seriously by everyone.
He just stayed in the darkest corner of the deck and waited.
He looked embarrassed and a little angry.
Seeing Ye Fuxun and Guan Qian walking out together, the two maids' eyes lit up and they both stepped forward: "Second Miss, I'm relieved to see that you're fine!"
We are about to arrive in Jicheng, so please don’t stay on a boat with a strange man for a long time, so as not to harm the reputation of our girls in charge!"
The future sister-in-law is just a teenage girl. Being bullied by the elders in the family, apart from being obedient, how easy is it to resist?
Now seeing these two hateful servants who complained first, trying to smear Guan Qian's reputation as soon as she opened her mouth, Ye Fuxun was even more angry and smiled.
"My wife and Miss Guan fell in love at first sight, and they went to Jicheng together." Ye Fuxun looked at the two servants and said coldly, "Miss Guan went to Jicheng with our boat. I will see you later."
Send the steward girl back to the steward's house, you two will go back first."
After saying this, she was too lazy to talk to the two servants and just waved her hand and said: "Xiao Yu, send them over."
Xiao Yu naturally accepted the order.
The two servants didn't expect that Ye Fuxun would leave Guan Qian behind, so they had no idea for a while.
However, this lady, who came from nowhere, had an aura of indifference and nobility that prevented them from even saying anything to refute.
I had to follow Xiao Yu, half pushing and half sending him away for a few steps.
However, before they reached the step, one of the servant girls grabbed the other one. They whispered a few words, then turned around and walked over again.
"Madam, to be honest, the second girl is the girl to be married in our house. Staying on the boat with you and the other gentlemen will probably harm my girl's reputation..." The servant woman bravely looked at Ye Fu
Xun.
Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Presumptuous!"
She just heard a squeak, and the next moment, two dazzling swords were pressed against the necks of the two servants. They were so frightened that their legs weakened and they fell to their knees.
"You two evil slaves pushed the girl into the water, didn't you think that no one saw it?" Xiao Yu was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked the servant woman, "Evil slaves like you should be sent to the government for punishment! Unexpectedly!
You still dare to talk nonsense in front of my wife, you simply don’t know what to say!”
Ji Yannuo walked over with his hands behind his back, took Ye Fulun's hand, frowned and glanced at the two guards: "Drag him down and hit him ten times."
"yes!"
Not long after, two servant women were heard crying and screaming from the side of the deck.
He screamed twice and was silenced.
When the ten boards were finished and the guards tore off the rags from their mouths, the two servants did not dare to stay for a moment longer. They supported each other and stumbled towards the pedal.
Unexpectedly, when he walked near the pedal, Yu Yu, who had been waiting beside him earlier, smiled coldly.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed a servant woman's collar with the other, and threw them into the river.
'thump!'
'thump!'
Two loud noises stirred up waves, and everyone looked on coldly. The guards went to collect the pedals, and the boat continued to sail slowly toward the shore.
"Madam, who is that?"
Guan Qian secretly looked at Yu Yu and guessed his identity.
Ye Fuxun was worried that she didn't ask, so he pulled Guan Qian and walked towards Yu Yu with a smile: "Brother."
"My sister wasn't scared just now, was she?"
Yu Yu looked at Ye Fuxun with concern. He seemed to sense Guan Qian's gaze in his peripheral vision, and smiled gently at her, "Servants are hateful. They always bully the weak and fear the strong. Don't be afraid of them."
Guan Qian nodded slowly, blushed slightly, and just whispered yes.
"Brother, you don't know that those two maids are the ladies in charge of the girl's stepmother, so they bully others with their power." Ye Fuxun looked aggrieved, "When we get to the shore later, brother, please accompany your sister to escort the girl away.
Would you like to go back to Guanfu?"
"Of course it's good."
How could Yu Yu disagree with his sister's request?
Guan Qian quietly glanced at Yu Yu again. This was the first time she saw her brother who was so gentle to her sister.
A trace of envy arose for no reason.
Unlike her, after her mother passed away, she seemed to be the only one left in the world.
If you are not strong, it may not be easy to survive.
The big ship quickly docked.
When everyone entered Jicheng, there were already officials waiting for them.
Ji Yannuo and the King of Chu were surrounded by officials and headed to the prefecture and county government offices. The King of Qin concealed his identity and went directly to his maternal ancestor's house to stay.
