Parents are busy farming

Wang Chuanjia's words were full of grievances. He was like an abandoned child, looking forward to more care and love.

However, Ye Zifen's attitude towards him seemed very cold and ruthless.

She said, “If you really think so, it doesn’t matter!”

These words made Wang Chuanjia feel a sharp pain, as if he had been stabbed again.

Ye Zifen asked hurriedly, "How is my third sister doing now? You're going to be the fourth uncle soon!"

Wang Chuanjia nodded, indicating that the news he received said everything was fine.

He also mentioned that his parents are taking good care of his sister and hope that the unborn child will not be as naughty as his sister, but will be as well-behaved and sensible as his brother.

Ye Zifen couldn't help but roll her eyes and refuted bluntly: "Compared to her, you're not that smart!"

Wang Chuanjia was suddenly speechless and secretly regretted in his heart that he should not have come to meet this troublesome girl today.

"I'm much smarter than your third sister!"

Ye Zifen responded: "You can only compare with my third sister. What do you have to be happy about? After all, you are the last one in the Wang family, and she is the last one among us sisters. You two are the same, so don't laugh at each other."

Then Ye Zifen breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "It's good that everyone is fine. By the way, fourth cousin, has anything new happened recently?"

Wang Chuanjia thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing. It has nothing to do with us. I heard that the imperial concubine in the palace is very ill recently. Even the imperial physician said that she may not live long."

Ye Zifen frowned and asked, "Which imperial concubine?"

Wang Chuanjia replied, "It's the most favored imperial concubine. She has always been loved by the emperor, but I didn't expect that she is seriously ill now."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Life in the palace seems glamorous, but in fact it is full of intrigue and deception.

Even the most favored concubine could not avoid the tricks of fate.

Thinking of this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but think of her own fate again.

Although life is relatively peaceful now, who knows what will happen in the future?

Ye Zifen sighed softly, with a look of helplessness and pity in her eyes, and said to herself: "The women in the palace are so pitiful..."

Her voice was low and somewhat sad, as if she could feel the hardships and helplessness of court life.

Just as Ye Zifen finished her words, Wang Chuanjia suddenly interrupted and said excitedly, "You don't know! Recently, the imperial concubine is looking for a prince consort for her only daughter, Princess Shuyun!"

His eyes were shining, as if he was full of curiosity and anticipation about the news.

Then, Wang Chuanjia added: "I guess he was afraid that Princess Shuyun would be bullied after his death, so he wanted her to get married and live outside the royal area."

His words revealed a concern for Princess Shuyun's future, but also hinted at the complexity and cruelty in the palace.

After hearing this, Ye Zifen frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on her face.

She didn't know much about these palace affairs and was a little surprised by what Wang Chuanjia said.

However, she quickly regained her composure and nodded to show her understanding.

After all, court battles and power struggles can often seem unpredictable.

At this time, Wang Chuanjia noticed Ye Zifen's reaction and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

He said softly: "Cousin, don't worry too much. These things have nothing to do with us. We just need to live our lives well."

Too bad he didn't know they would soon be involved in this matter.

Ye Zifen asked Wang Chuanjia about the family affairs again, but Wang Chuanjia didn't know much about it, so she could only go back and ask Xiang Zhibo.

After Ye Zifen left, Wang Chuanjia went to the Hong family to convey the message that Ye Zifen asked him to bring to Wang Chuanshen.

However, when he finished saying these words, he was surprised to find that his second brother Wang Chuanshen ran back to his study room as quickly as a gust of wind and locked the door directly from the inside.

This...this sentence is so effective!

Although he had guessed that his second brother would study hard, he had never expected his reaction to be so quick.

So he went to the backyard to look for his grandmother, but unfortunately he was still a step too late, because Master Hong had already sent a servant back to inform Old Madam Hong of the news that Ye Zifen had come to Beijing.

At this moment, Mrs. Hong was filled with joy!

Wang Chuanjia pretended to be regretful and said, "Grandma, I wanted to rush over to tell you the good news as soon as possible, but I didn't expect my uncle to get there first."

Mrs. Hong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as Xiaowu can return safely, I will be satisfied."

Wang Chuanjia smiled and said, "Xiaowu has other things to do and can't leave to come to the Hong family, so she asked me to bring her to pay her respects to you! She also said that what she brought back from the sea this time was just some food, nothing good, so she will wait for her to go out and look next time, and if she comes across anything good, she will definitely bring it back to you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Hong smiled kindly and waved her hand, saying, "Remember to tell Xiaowu that as long as she is safe and sound, that is the best gift for me. I am already this old, what do I need those good things for? They are just material possessions."

Wang Chuanjia nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grandma! Xiaowu is so smart, nothing will happen to her. Besides, if she can really find something good, it would be a good thing to let her bring it back, and we can also benefit from it!"

Old Madam Hong patted Wang Chuanjia's hand gently and scolded with a smile: "Okay, so you are thinking about Xiaowu's gift! You know that you don't have that much face in front of the fifth girl, so you come to me to say these things!"

Although he said words of blame, his face was full of smiles.

The hand gently fell on Wang Chuanjia's hand. It didn't sound like a pat, but rather an intimate comfort.

After Wang Chuanjia finished delivering the message, he coaxed Old Lady Hong a few more words before turning around and leaving.

After all, this is the backyard, he is a grown man and not young anymore, so he should be more careful.

Although the Hong family has no unmarried daughters, there are still maids.

At the same time, Ye Zifen has also returned to Fukelai.

Xiang Zhibo was waiting for her anxiously. He originally planned to arrange for the caravan members to rest first, but this time they escorted a group of people over.

He could tell at a glance that these people were no ordinary people and that something important must have happened, so he didn't dare to make any decisions on his own and could only wait for Ye Zifen to return.

Moreover, the people in the caravan had been keeping a close watch on those people, even forbidding others to talk to them.

He was looking forward to it.
