Chapter 176 Going to see Ye Rou
Chapter 176 Going to see Ye Rou
When Xiao Jingxuan and the others returned to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, lunch had just been prepared. It was made by Lu Taohua and Lu Lihua, and the ingredients used were the chili peppers brought from Qingquan Village.
Jamel Xiao and Shangguan Zhenhua followed the scent to Biboxuan.
Ye Tang, Ye Ping'an and Ye Peng were sitting around the stove with an iron pot on the fire. The hot pot was steaming and making gurgling sounds.
Just smelling it makes one's saliva water.
"What a good thing!" Shangguan Zhenhua was very energetic. He took two steps at a time and came to the stove before Xiao Jingxuan. He sat down next to Ye Peng and said, "Son, Dad will sit with you."
Ye Peng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He asked Jamel Xiao, "Where did you and Lao He go? It took you so long to come back."
Shangguan Zhenhua frowned: "Don't you know what your grandson-in-law is doing outside?"
Ye Peng picked up the chopsticks: "I don't know, I didn't ask."
Shangguan Zhenhua thought of something, turned his head and said to Jamel Xiao, "Don't they know anything?"
Xiao Jingxuan pointed at Ye Tang: "My wife knows everything."
Shangguan Zhenhua immediately looked at Ye Tang: "Do you really know?"
Ye Tang nodded.
Ye Peng was getting impatient: "What kind of riddle are you guys talking about?"
Ye Ping'an was also curious: "Brother-in-law, are you hiding something from me and Dad?"
Jamel Xiao put down the bowl: "I wanted to wait until I had a full meal before talking about it, but now that I've said it, I'll tell you."
"Dad, Ping'an, there is something I have never told you. In fact, I am not Xiao Jianan's biological son. My biological father is..."
He told Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an about his life story.
Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an were stunned at the moment.
Ye Pingan came back to his senses and was a little excited: "I know King Pingshan, he is a great hero, the god of war of our Yuan Dynasty."
Ye Peng was puzzled: "How did you know that? You were not born when King Pingshan died?"
Ye Pingan: "When I was out doing business, I heard a storyteller in a restaurant say that King Pingshan was very powerful. I never thought that my brother-in-law was actually the son of King Pingshan."
Ye Peng murmured, "I didn't expect that either."
Jamel Xiao smiled and said, “Few people know my identity, but after tomorrow, it will no longer be a secret.”
Ye Peng asked: "After you become the King of Pingshan, will you take Tangtang to the King's Palace of Pingshan?"
Xiao Jingxuan knew that he was reluctant to leave his daughter, so he said, "Pingshan Palace is not far from the Duke of Huguo's Palace. My wife and I will come here often."
Ye Peng sighed softly after hearing this: "That's right, we are all in Beijing anyway. You two are not children anymore, you have your own lives, I shouldn't tie you up by my side, but son-in-law, your identity is extraordinary, Tangtang..."
Shangguan Zhenhua interrupted, "Tangtang is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion. She is not bad at all. They are a perfect match."
Ye Peng glared at him: "I didn't say they were not a good match."
Ye Tang was afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, Dad, Grandfather, stop talking, the dishes are ready, let's eat first, okay? The dishes will not taste good if they are overcooked."
"Well, okay, let's stop talking and eat first." Shangguan Zhenhua picked up a piece of meat for Ye Peng.
Ye Peng took a disdainful look at it and gave the meat to Ye Ping'an.
Ye Pingan: "..."
Eating hotpot in the twelfth lunar month makes you feel warm all over.
The servants were tempted by the smell of the street hotpot.
"What are the Duke and the others eating? It smells so strong!"
"It smells like stinky socks, the more you smell it the more it gets worse."
"Stop talking, it's disgusting."
"You dare to say that the food the Duke and his men eat is disgusting, you are going to die!"
"Keep your voice down. I asked Sister Taohua. She said that what the Duke and his friends eat is called street hotpot. The ingredients are very complicated, including chili peppers. Do you know what chili peppers are? It is a very peculiar food..."
......
After dinner, Ye Tang asked the servants to pack up her things and take them to her yard. Her grandfather also prepared a separate yard for her and Ping An. It was not far from Biboxuan, with a good location and beautiful scenery. The yard was also very large and had everything. There were more than thirty maids and servants, oh, and guards.
In the morning, under the guidance of Fang Jing, she went to take a look at that yard. Her yard was called Begonia Yard, where her favorite crabapple flowers were planted. It was planted by her grandfather after he returned from Qingquan Village last year.
The courtyard where Ping'an lived was called Qingfengyuan, where many green bamboos were planted. In addition, there was a martial arts training ground that belonged to Ping'an alone, and there were servants and guards everywhere.
My grandfather had put a lot of effort into welcoming them to the capital.
Shangguan Zhenhua told Ye Tang and others about the family recognition banquet.
Ye Peng said in a deep voice: "Let's put the family recognition banquet aside for now. I want to go see Ye Qianrou first."
Shangguan Zhenhua said: "Dad has already made arrangements. Ye Qianrou's crime has long been proven, and the people behind her have been found out. Now she is useless. You can go see her anytime you want."
Although the prince's method was dishonorable and cruel, it was very effective. He used Ye Qianrou to lure out more than a hundred remnants of the Xia Kingdom. Among them was a master who was extremely difficult to deal with. The prince had to spend a lot of effort to catch him and interrogate him.
Ye Peng was a little anxious: "Then go now."
There were some things he wanted to question Ye Qianrou in person.
Ye Tang and Ye Ping'an also wanted to meet their enemy Ye Qianrou as soon as possible.
Seeing how anxious they were, Shangguan Zhenhua immediately arranged for someone to prepare a carriage and take the three of them to the Heavenly Prison. Why three people? Because Xiao Jingxuan didn't want to go because he fell asleep.
In the Sky Prison, Ye Qianrou and her family were imprisoned in the narrowest and dampest cell.
Ye Qianrou's grandchildren died three months ago because they were too young to bear the brunt of the imprisonment. Her daughter-in-law also died. Now only she and her son are still alive.
The mother and son were covered in wounds, looked numb, and smelled foul.
"Someone is here to see you!" A jailer came over and took out the key to open the cell door.
Ye Qianrou and her son immediately got up from the grass, and when they raised their eyes they saw Shangguan Zhenhua's face.
"Brother-in-law!" Ye Qianrou wanted to step forward excitedly, and the chain on her feet made a sound as she moved.
Both mother and son had shackles on their hands and feet, and their wrists and ankles had already been rubbed bloody by the chains.
"I'm not your brother-in-law!" Shangguan Zhenhua looked at Ye Qianrou coldly: "I came here this time to see your joke, and by the way, I brought someone to see you."
"Brother-in-law, I am innocent, really. I am not a princess of the Xia Kingdom. I..." Ye Qianrou cried and begged for mercy. She wanted to hug Shangguan Zhenhua's thighs, but was entangled by the chains and could not get out.
Her son also reached out his hand to Shangguan Zhenhua, calling him uncle.
"I don't know anything. It's all my mother's fault. I don't know anything. Uncle, please save me. Please save me."
He put all the blame on Ye Qianrou.
Shangguan Zhenhua shook his sleeves and said, "If I don't save you, I hope you will die."
"Peng'er, come in!"
Ye Qianrou and her son were stunned.
They then saw three people walking into the cell.
