The second day of the first lunar month.

When the married daughter returns home, the people in Wan'an City are still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year.

The shops on the street don’t open until the fifth day of the day. After noon, after snow fell, only sparse pedestrians and occasionally carriages passed by, the wheels rolled over the snow, making a squeaking sound.

When Qi Ying came back from Zhongyong Hou, she happened to meet the prince Jun Ziyu and the prince's concubine Ming Yating who came back from the Duke of Ming Dynasty at the door.

The housekeeper was already waiting at the door with a sedan chair, which was prepared for Ming Yating, who was pregnant.

Ming Yating was helped out by two maids, and a tall and strong woman quickly held an umbrella to cover her with wind and snow. Her face was okay, but she was so depressed that she was not energetic.

Jun Ziyu's expression was not very good either. Because after he arrived at the Ming family, he was "reprimanded" by his grandfather, the old Duke of Ming.

The original intention of the old Duke of Ming Dynasty was to advise Jun Ziyu to treat the Crown Princess Qi Ying well. In this way, he should go to the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion first and then to the Ming family, so that he could comply with the rules. Although Ming Yating is the granddaughter of the old Duke of Ming Dynasty, he is only the concubine of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion is not an ordinary family, so he should not be neglected.

Jun Ziyu argued that he was the one who was on behalf of his mother, and Ming returned to his parents' home one after another, which was Qi Ying's meaning.

The old Duke of Ming knew that Jun Ziyu was lying. If it was really for the sake of the first queen, then Jun Ziyu should have brought Qi Ying and Ming Yating back together, and called Jun Zihuan and Jun Lingyue again.

After lunch, the old Duke of Ming Dynasty asked Jun Ziyu to go to the study with him to play chess. He smiled and took out a chess game, saying that it was a New Year gift from Jun Zihuan. He also learned some carving skills from Rong Lan. The stone carving pieces he found were not very exquisite, but they were quite interesting.

The old Duke of Ming Dynasty was a chess lover. He had better chess to use. He specially chose this pair given by Jun Zihuan and said those words. His original intention was to tell Jun Ziyu that Jun Zihuan was playful and did not like power. He told Jun Ziyu not to be suspicious of Jun Zihuan because Jun Zhaolin valued Duke Rong's mansion. His brothers of a mother were disheartened.

Because Jun Ziyu, Jun Zihuan and Jun Lingyue have read books with the old Duke of Ming since childhood, the old Duke of Ming looked at their grandsons who grew up and knew their nature very well.

The old Duke of Ming Dynasty knew that among so many princes, Jun Ziyu's personality is the most similar to Jun Zhaolin. She is so sophisticated and sophisticated. She seems gentle and calm on the surface, but in fact she is very ambitious and regards power more important than anything else. She is good when she has nothing to do, but once her interests are violated, it will be a little unwilling tolerant.

After Jun Zihuan fell into the water and almost drowned, the old Duke of Ming Dynasty intended to guide him to develop in the direction of wealth and idle people, in order not to one day that his grandson turned against him because of that position. It was not that the old Duke of Ming Dynasty thought that Jun Ziyu was more suitable for that position, because Jun Ziyu was the eldest prince, and according to the ancestral etiquette, it was the most legitimate statement.

But Jun Zihuan married a general's daughter. Whether she was once Mu Yuanruo or Rong Yuanruo now, behind her are the strongest military generals in the Dongming Kingdom and are also representatives of power.

The old Duke of Ming Dynasty knew that Jun Zihuan simply liked Rong Yuanruo, and his feelings since childhood had nothing to do with anything else. As long as Jun Ziyu treats Jun Zihuan sincerely, the Rong family will definitely help him. But the old Duke of Ming Dynasty was worried that Jun Ziyu would not think so.

However, the old Duke Ming secretly advised him that his good intentions were destined to be wasted, because whenever he mentioned Jun Zihuan's name, no matter what he said, Jun Ziyu felt that the Ming family also favored Jun Zihuan and thought that Jun Zihuan was good at everything... So he felt even more and more unhappy, even though he still didn't show it on his face.

After leaving the Ming family and getting on the carriage, Jun Ziyu sank her face and never talked to Ming Yating any further.

Ming Yating was pregnant and was pushed down by Jun Ziyu before. Although nothing went wrong, she was in a bad mood. It was not because she still had any thoughts about Jun Ziyu, but just didn't want to move. She also thought Jun Ziyu should go to Qi's house today, so she mentioned it tactfully, which angered Jun Ziyu. She also said that she was thinking about Jun Zihuan in her heart and didn't want to be with him, so she did that.

Jun Ziyu has no love for Ming Yating, but he relies on the most on the Duke of Ming Dynasty's Mansion. He is worried that the Ming family will eventually give up on him and choose Jun Zihuan, so he is full of suspicion about Ming Yating, who once liked Jun Zihuan in his eyes.

Ming Yating thought it was too ridiculous and was even too lazy to argue with Jun Ziyu. When she returned to her parents' home and saw her parents and sisters, she missed the simple and happy days before getting married. She felt very wronged, but she didn't dare to show it in front of her parents' family, because that would only increase their worries.

At this moment, Ming Yating got out of the car and saw Qi Ying. She saw that there was only one sedan that was prepared for her. She insisted on pulling Qi Ying, got into the sedan chair together, and told her to go to Qi Ying.

Ming Yating really didn't want to see Jun Ziyu again today. Now she even thought that since she couldn't go back to her parents' home, she would rather live with Qi Ying tonight, so she wouldn't have to face Jun Ziyu's face that made her even more disgusted.

Maybe outsiders think that Ming Yating will definitely become enemies with Qi Ying after entering the door. After all, Ming Yating is a higher-class person, but Qi Ying occupies the position of the concubine. It is impossible for the woman who is both Jun Ziyu to be without conflicts.

But that's not the case.

In this prince's mansion, Qi Ying, who was neglected and Ming Yating, who wanted to be neglected, both felt like a hit on the spot. They grew up in Wan'an City and knew each other before they got married, but they were not familiar with each other. The main reason was that there were accidents in the Qi family. Qi Ying had never counted the number of times she wore mourning clothes since she was a child. In order to mourn her father and brother, she had hardly gone out to attend a banquet for a noble lady at the age of youth.

However, women can understand women better.

They didn't think of each other as a thorn in their eyes because men got along with each other, and they felt that each other was the only person they could speak and understand each other in this inhumane prince's mansion.

Jun Ziyu was already unhappy. Seeing that Qi Ying and Ming Yating thought he was not there, they left him and left him in a sedan chair intimately. Her face turned even more gloomy and she strode to the study.

In the sedan chair, Qi Ying gently rubbed Ming Yating's slightly cold hands and said she should be careful and must not be frozen.

Ming Yating sighed, but she didn't want to mention the matter of returning to Ming's house. Instead, she asked Qi Ming, "Have you gone to give your brother an injection today?"

Qi Ying nodded, "Go, Miss Rong is really good."

Ming Yating smiled, "Yes, Yuan Qiu is very capable and has a good person. If she is a man, no matter what her identity is, I will ask to marry her."

Qi Ying coughed lightly and signaled Ming Yating to pay attention. If the servant who was carrying the sedan chair heard it, it would be bad to hear it in Jun Ziyu's ears.

Ming Yating hummed softly, Jun Ziyu always suspected that she was thinking about Jun Zihuan. Can she not even think of a girl now?

Qi Ying was actually a little nervous about the big thing that Yen Qiu and Qi Ming said today.

Although Yuan Qiu said that Qi Ming didn't need to do anything. If something went wrong, it would definitely not be implicated in the Qi family, Qi Ying was still a little worried. She was not afraid of being implicated, but more worried than worrying. She hoped that Jun Zihuan and the Rong family would succeed, and that Qi Ming, who was harmed, would be able to seek justice, and he would truly cheer up and stand up.

Otherwise, once you fail, even if you are not implicated, Qi Ming's will will be difficult to recover. Living like a walking corpse is probably more painful than dying.

As for himself, Qi Ying thought that instead of living a widowed life with Jun Ziyu, it would be better to be a cousin and go back to her parents' home as a cousin, and be more comfortable, and be able to take care of Qi Ming and let him stand up as soon as possible. When Jun Zhaolin is gone, maybe Meng Li can reunite with Qi Ming...

"What are you thinking?" Ming Yating asked curiously when she saw Qi Ying distracted.

Qi Ying smiled and shook her head. That thing must not be said. She thought of Ming Yating again and felt that if that matter succeeded, Ming Yating would be very happy. She didn't like Jun Ziyu at all and wanted to stay away from him. At that time, there would be no trouble in the Duke of Ming's Mansion, because Jun Zihuan is also the grandson of the old Duke of Ming. The palms and backs of his hands are flesh, and the Ming family cannot oppose Jun Zihuan for Jun Ziyu.

In short, Qi Ying thought about it and felt that Jun Zhaolin and Jun Ziyu and his son were gone, and their lives would be much better than they are now.

"Seeing that you are in a good mood, I think your brother will be able to stand up soon." Ming Yating said with a smile.

Qi Ying nodded, "Well, I want to thank you too, and I will help me ask Miss Rong to treat my brother."

Ming Yating shook her head, "What's the point of thanking for this? If I don't say it, Yuan Qiu will definitely agree as long as you mention it. It's even more difficult to persuade your brother. But it's understandable that no one who turns that way at a young age will be difficult to face. Fortunately, the marriage gift has been taken back."

Although Meng Xian was Ming Yating's friend, they had almost no contact after Ming Yating got married. Later, they learned that there was nothing good about Meng Xian. Ming Yating sympathized with Meng Xian and felt that she was too rash. She ran to the unfamiliar Bai family for a book. To put it nicely, she was simple and unscheming, but to put it bluntly, she was stupid. If Meng Xian knew the situation in the court, she should not have private contact with the Bai family, let alone went to the Bai family alone without her parents' consent.

Even if Qi Ming is not disabled, even if Meng Xian is not involved with Bai Shu and Lu Zhe, it is really inappropriate for her to marry Qi Ming.

The two did not continue to talk about this topic because they knew something but were hard to say.

Qi Ying thought that Jun Zhaolin was harmed by Qi Ming, and when he thought about the marriage that had just passed, he hated Jun Zhaolin even more.

The two arrived at Qi Ying's place. Ming Yating said she wanted to live here tonight, and Qi Ying agreed readily. Now she didn't want to see Jun Ziyu's face that looked like Jun Zhaolin, and she was afraid that Jun Ziyu would come to her suddenly. Ming Yating stayed, and they were each other's shields and could be a companion.

The sky was getting darker, and Jun Ziyu was about to get up and go to Ming Yating when she suddenly heard something moving in the back window and her expression changed!

A woman covered in an ink-colored cloak appeared in the room, her voice was low, "Crown Prince, I met for the first time, and I am the owner of Qingming Tower."

Jun Ziyu was shocked, "Are you Qing Su?" Isn't Qing Su, the mysterious new owner of Qing Ming Tower, a man?

But I saw the man shook his head slightly, "That traitor who killed his master and usurped the throne is not worthy of being the owner. I am Qingjue's only daughter, Qingmei."

"Why are you... here?" Jun Ziyu was hesitating whether he would immediately call for help. The killer of Qingming Tower suddenly came to him, and there was absolutely nothing good!

Qingmei sneered, "I'm here to help you."

Jun Ziyu looked alert, "What does it mean?"

"Since you mentioned Qing Su, do you know who Qing Su is? You are not unfamiliar with him." Qing Mei's tone was quiet.

Jun Ziyu's expression changed again and again, "Tell me clearly!" Qing Su was actually someone he had known for a long time? How could it be?

"Qing Su is your brother-in-law, the rumored Su Tianxian." Qing Mei sneered repeatedly.

Jun Ziyu widened her eyes in disbelief, "Su Mo? That wasteful guy is actually..."

"Do you really think he is a useless person? If he is a useless person, can he get into the eyes of Rong Lan and his daughter and be the son-in-law of the Rong family?" Qing Mei snorted coldly, "You are all deceived by him!"

Jun Ziyu suddenly felt very nervous! No wonder he felt something was wrong before. He asked Jun Zihuan several times, but Jun Zihuan never answered the question about Su Mo, and was always perfunctory! Su Mo was actually the leader of a killer with great martial arts skills! Jun Zihuan could not have been unaware of this matter, but he always kept it from him!

"What a waste. He has died in Nanzhao for a long time, and he has no chance to come to Dongming to be a proton!" Qing Mei said coldly, "Your father is blind and cannot see the ambition of the Rong family. So what if you are the crown prince? The throne of Dongming belongs to Jun Zihuan sooner or later. If you don't do anything, you can't tolerate him, and the Rong family will definitely not tolerate you."

"It's no point to say it! How do I know that you are not lying to me?" Jun Ziyu clenched her fists.

"Do you want me to kill you and prove to you that I am Qingjue's daughter?" Qingmei sneered, "You trash always like to rely on your identity to think that you are superior, but in fact, if I move my fingers, you will become a dead person. Su Mo can do it."

Jun Ziyu's face turned pale. Thinking of the previous incident and the growth of the Rong family now, she actually believed Qingmei's words.

"You said you want to help me? Why?" Jun Ziyu stared at her. He felt that Qing Mei was not here to cause trouble for him, otherwise she could kill him directly, and there was no need to talk so much nonsense.

Qing Mei snorted coldly, "What else can it be? My father accepted Su Mo as his disciple and taught him martial arts, giving him a chance to survive, but he killed my father and took away everything that should belong to me. I want him to pay the price!"

"Why don't you go to duel directly with him?" Jun Ziyu was puzzled. Qing Mei wanted to avenge her father. This is understandable, but why come to him?

"It's easy to kill him, but I want to uncover the mask of his disguise and make him lose everything he has now. Life is worse than death!" Qing Mei said sternly.

"Do you want to use me to deal with the Rong family?" Jun Ziyu's eyes flashed dimly.

"No, I'm helping you to deal with the Rong family." Qing Mei sneered, "Give you three breaths of time to consider. You can refuse, I won't make things difficult for you. You can even go to Rong Guogong's mansion to tell your brother, saying that I'm going to cause trouble for Su Mo, and see if he will appreciate it and support you as the emperor in the future."

Jun Ziyu's face looked ugly, and her fists clenched and loosened, "Are you sure, you just want to deal with Su Mo?"

"Otherwise? Do you think I want to steal the throne of Dongming? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Qing Mei snorted lightly.

Jun Ziyu's eyes were deep, "Okay! What do you want to do?"

...

Rongguo Duke's Mansion.

Yuanqiu sat quietly in the room until it was dark outside and Rong Yuanshun ran in and hugged her legs. She came back to her senses, rubbed Rong Yuanshun's little head and sighed.

"Sister is thinking about Brother Tianxian?" Rong Yuanshun asked with a look up.

Yuan Qiu nodded, "Well, I'm thinking of him." I really want to...

"I miss Brother Tianxian too! We agreed to carve a tree together for my mother, but it hasn't been carved yet." Rong Yuanshun's voice was muffled.

"Let's get it done when he comes back." Yuan Qiu said softly.

At this moment, Rong Yuancheng's voice came from outside the door, "Sister, your master is leaving."

Yuan Qiu frowned and stood up, leading Rong Yuanshun out.

Rong Yuancheng looked at Yuan Qiu's expression, "Sister, are you okay?"

Yuan Qiu nodded, "Okay."
