Caiwei and I looked at each other and showed a look of surprise.?

It's already so late, and Yang Wanyun also told everyone in the mansion when he was having dinner before, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, who is coming to me so late?

I thought about it, and winked at Caiwei. She hurried to the door and asked tentatively: "Who?"

"I, I'll come to find Miss Yan."

That beautiful but particularly stubborn voice, although I had only heard it once, it left a deep impression on me. I immediately remembered - Yang Jinyao!

Caiwei looked back at me and nodded immediately when she saw me. She reached out to open the door. Sure enough, she saw the silk-covered silk-covered hair, but her hair was scattered, and Miss Yang, who was slightly embarrassed, stood at the door. When she saw us opening the door, she immediately showed a happy smile on her face. She didn't even speak and walked in: "Ms. Yan!"

I hurriedly stood up from the couch.

She was not afraid of being angry at all. She walked into the room and walked to me. She reached out and grabbed my hand: "Do you still remember me? I am Yang Jinyao, and I am Sister Jin Qiao's sister!"

This is what I say...

I couldn't help but smile, but her enthusiasm made me feel a little at a loss. Moreover, I clearly remember that Caiwei said today that she was locked up, why did she suddenly come to me now?

It was difficult for her to get rid of her hand, so she could only look up and wink at Caiwei. She nodded and retreated, and closed the door.

Then I smiled and said, "Miss Yang, please sit down first, let's sit down."

She nodded and still held my hand, as if she had seen a relative. I was sweating a little by the hot palms, but I couldn't break free, so I could only hold it. The two of them walked to the table and sat down. She looked very excited and said, "I have known you for a long time and heard about you. I finally saw you today!"

I smiled and said, "How do you know me? How did you hear about me?"

"In the past, when Sister Jin Qiao came home, she often talked about you. At that time, you were just a maid in Shangyang Palace."

"ah……"

That was many years ago.

I smiled faintly, and Yang Jinyao continued, "Later, you were also reported among the nobles in the capital. Do you know? They all said that the Celestial Empire has been established for so many years, and you are the first woman to dare not let the emperor go away from the emperor!"

She said as she almost burst into envy and admiration in her eyes: "I think you are really amazing!"

“…”

I don't know what to say.

Speaking of which, it was the first time I had lived for so long that I met a girl who admired me so much. I was at a loss, and her words - I was really amused and crying. The past that made me feel that such a painful past would actually become a girl's longing. Just looking at her simple and clean eyes, I couldn't tell her what the price I had to pay for when I walked out of the emperor's hands and how much the price I had to pay for those who loved me.

I just smiled faintly.

The surroundings are as quiet as ever.

The Yang Mansion seems to be a mansion with a very stable schedule. Like the owner of this family, after nightfall, except for the sound of beating from a distance, there was no sound at all. However, the appearance of Yang Jinyao made my room feel a little lively and boiling. I thought about it and asked directly: "Miss Jinyao is here to find me, why is it expensive?"

She hurriedly said, "Don't be polite to me, okay? I like you very much, and my sister likes you very much. Don't call me like this, so you will be so happy!"

I smiled and looked at her silently.

Then she remembered that when she came in, she also called me "Miss Yan". She patted the back of my hand and said, "Okay, just call me Jin Yao. I'll call you Sister Yan, okay?"

The master said this, and I couldn't refuse, so I smiled and nodded in agreement.

It seemed like she had pulled me apart, and she became happier, holding my hand tighter, but her voice lowered: "Sister Yan, I, I am here to find you and want to talk to you."

"What are you talking about?"

When I heard that she didn't sneak out and asked me to help her escape, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, I was just a guest at the Yang family and didn't plan to make trouble here. However, I expected the topic she was going to talk about, which made me feel nervous.

Sure enough, she said, "My parents want me to marry an official."

"oh……"

"Wu Yanqiu, I heard that he was just promoted to the Minister of Revenue a while ago."

"oh……"

Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?

It was Liu Qinghan who served as a job before. It seems that after he left, someone immediately took over the lack of this.

This happened in my mind, and I smiled and said, "That's a high-powered person. Do you have any doubts about this marriage?"

When she heard me say this, her eyes dim.

I smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Her rosy cherry mouth slightly raised, and she was silent for a while before looking at me: "Even you think that if someone has a high position and a powerful position, is this marriage a natural right?"

"Well……"

These words stumped me.

I remembered the words she just said admiring me because I was the first woman who refused to be confined to the royal family and stubbornly escaped from the emperor's hands. Now these words obviously disappointed her a little.

In an instant, there was a little loss of "stepping off the altar".

I thought about it and didn't express my opinion directly. I just asked with a smile: "Then, Jin Yao, what do you think of this marriage? What do you think of Lord Wu?"

Her cheeks bulged slightly, as if she was a little angry, and said dullly: "My parents, I don't ask me if I want to do it or not, I want to marry me to the one named Wu. Isn't it because he has a high position and is also from the queen? They also sent Sister Jin Qiao to Shangyang Palace to cling to the dragon and phoenix, and now it's me again!"

“…”

"I'm not that easy to control. Besides, didn't Sister Jin Qiao leave later? If they force me again, I will leave too! I'm the same as Sister Jin Qiao and will never come back!"

I was startled: "Jinyao, don't be impulsive!"

Although she spoke very hard, she didn't seem to be planning to act immediately. After I said this, the sound of panting was calmed down.

When she calmed down, I thought about it and recalled what Mrs. Yuerong said in the hall today and what Caiwei had learned, and then asked in a low voice: "Jin Yao, you don't want to agree to this marriage. Is it because you - uh, you have a sweetheart?"

She glanced at me, but unexpectedly shook her head.

"Well?"

"I don't."

"ah?"

Seeing my shocked expression, she couldn't help laughing: "You must have heard them say that I want to elope, so you think I have a sweetheart outside, so you refuse to agree to this marriage, right?"

"Um……"

"I don't have that person. That person is just my good brother."

“…”

Hearing that the eldest lady from the Houmen Empression House had a "good brother". This title made me a little funny, but Yang Jinyao didn't care at all and said seriously: "He is about to get married, so how could he be my sweetheart? He doesn't want me to marry someone he doesn't like, but he also disagrees with letting me leave. I went out today and wanted to discuss it with him. Who knew that he was caught by them as an elopement and locked me up."

"Closed? Then what are you-"

Yang Jinyao chuckled again: "Oh, can you really lock me up like a prisoner? You just find a house to stuff me inside, so I can climb out of the window at any time. Besides, when and where the guards in this mansion passed by, I have already known since I was a child. Sister Yan, don't worry, I won't implicate you. When we finish chatting, I will go back by myself and will never cause trouble for you."

I breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but remember that Li'er was the same when he ran away in Jinling Mansion. So many people in the mansion didn't stop her. I think she was too familiar with her like Yang Jinyao and couldn't prevent them at all.

At this time, Yang Jinyao said to me again: "Sister Yan, tell me, what would you do if it were you? Will you obediently obey your parents and marry that powerful person?"

I came to my senses and looked at her clean and clear eyes, and was a little stunned for a moment.

After a while of silence, I looked at her with a smile and said, "Jin Yao, then tell me first, is it because there was a lesson from Miss Jin Qiao in the past that you are unwilling to let your parents make the decision. You - you don't like those people with high positions and power."

She was silent for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

“…”

"I know how unwilling Sister Jin Qiao is. When she got married, her eyes were going to be blind. If it weren't for Brother Yunhui, I think she wouldn't have married her obediently. I don't like those officials either. They fight every day and are gloomy. I don't like such people!"

I smiled and said, "Then, do you know what kind of person Wu Yanqiu is?"

She was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect me to ask this, but immediately said, "I know, he is an official, and he is much older than me!"

Oh, I didn't expect this.

Wu Yanqiu is over thirty years old. Compared to a young girl like Yang Jinyao, she is indeed a little older, but she is not an old man and a young wife. Moreover, Wu Yanqiu, I have been with him these days, and I only think that this person is elegant, quite gentlemanly, calm and restrained, and steady, and is not that first-class vulgar.

Yang Jinyao shook my hand: "Sister Yan, what would you do?"

I looked at her with interest: "Why do you have to ask me? Do you think I will definitely make the right choice for you?"

"I--"

"Or," I interrupted her and continued, "You think I have resisted the emperor, and I will definitely resist all the royal relatives and nobles like you, right?"

Her face froze slightly: "Don't it?"

I smiled faintly.

Sure enough, I was still a little girl who didn’t know the world. She thought about things and did things so easily. However, everyone has come from this age. I was so unlucky about my resistance and acceptance of Pei Yuanhao. When I really knew what I wanted, the person I wanted was no longer redeemable.

I sighed and said, "Jin Yao, what I want to say is that not every official is so annoying."

“…”

"The forced arrangements of your parents may not be as good as you wish, but they may not be wrong."

“…”

"In the end, the marriage is a matter of two people. You and Wu Yanqiu may be the ones who will spend the second half of your life together in the future. But you don't even know who Wu Yanqiu is, so you completely deny him and reject this marriage. It is unfair to him and you may not be responsible to yourself."

She was slightly stunned and looked at me in surprise: "Ah?"
