The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

At Prince Yi’s mansion in the south of the city, two brothers came to ask for a meeting.

In Prince Yi Liu He's study, Tang Bo'an handed the note to him.

"Okay, I understand. You don't have to get involved in the rest of the matter, I have my own arrangements." He glanced at Tang Zhongbai, his eyes flashed, and asked, "What do you want?"

Tang Zhongbai bowed to him and said, "I have a favor to ask, Your Majesty, please grant it to me."

"Oh?" Liu He was very secretive. "Tell me about it."

"I want to ask the prince for someone."

Liu He raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile on his face and a very curious expression. He glanced outside the door and then looked away.

The two had different thoughts. Tang Zhongbai looked up at him and knew that he had misunderstood.

Jiang Muxia had long told him that Tang San had feelings for Jiang Hongxin. The difficulty was that if Jiang Hongxin stayed by the prince's side, the two of them would never be able to be together.

When he heard his father was going to inform Liu He of the news tonight, he began to think about it and felt that this was a good opportunity.

Regardless of success or failure, it can be considered as helping Tang San.

"My wife's cousin works in the prince's mansion. She was kidnapped when she was young and has been separated from her family for many years. Her mother misses her so much that she is sick. I wonder if the prince will be merciful..."

"No." Liu He's face turned cold and he refused flatly. There was a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Jiang Hongxin had told him after she came back from Suanzao County that she had reunited with her family. All she could do was to bring money home so that her parents could live a better life. She could not do anything else.

The saying "Once you enter a mansion, it's like entering a deep sea" is very appropriate when applied to a female guard like her.

As long as the prince doesn't confess, she will be the guard of the palace until the day she dies. Moreover, she is the most capable person around Prince Yi, and the possibility of letting her go back is almost zero.

Tang Boan quickly knelt down and apologized to Liu He. Tang Zhongbai followed him, and the two brothers knelt on the cold ground, feeling terrified.

Liu He seemed kind and fair, but if you offended him, you would be abandoned at best, or even drag down your entire clan.

The Tang family is now in a very difficult situation. If they fail to strike a balance, the remnants hidden in the family will become the best excuse to wipe out the entire Tang family.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My brother loves his wife so much that he said something outrageous. Your Majesty, please don't hold it against him."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I spoke out of turn." Tang Zhongbai didn't agree with that. He didn't believe that Liu He was so petty that he thought of harming the Tang family over a female guard.

The elegant title of 'The Prince of a Thousand Faces' is too cheap.

Liu He chuckled, "I wonder what you two brothers are doing. You and your two sons are my loyal subjects and my right arms. When did I become so stingy in your eyes? When I say it's not allowed, I mean..."

He turned his gaze to Tang Zhongbai with an ambiguous expression. His next words made Tang Zhongbai clench his fists, feeling extremely humiliated.

"I want Mr. Tang's beloved wife to come to my house and ask for the person. As long as she agrees to one condition, you can take the person away anytime."

There was the sound of slight footsteps outside the door.

Tang Zhongbai raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with anger. If the person in front of him was not a prince, he would have knocked him to the ground long ago.

Even Tang Boan thought that the prince had gone mad to propose such a despicable condition. Was this still the Prince Yi Liu He he knew? Did he have evil thoughts about my wife?

Tang Zhongbai couldn't help but raise his voice, his voice was cold and stiff, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"What? You want to take something from me, but you're not willing to pay a small price?" Liu He smiled with a forced smile, his eyes filled with incomprehensible meanings.

Tang Zhongbai glared at him, and their eyes met. In a flash, it seemed that both of them wanted to kill the other.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Hongxin strode in, knelt on the ground, and said solemnly, "I am your servant in life and your ghost in death. I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse. Please grant my wish."

She kowtowed to the ground and did not get up for a long time.

Liu He's face darkened, and without even looking at her, he cursed, "Who the hell are you? Do you have the right to speak here? Get out."

"Yes."

Tang Boan said he didn't dare to disturb his brother because it was late, and left the palace with his brother.

"Master Tang."

Tang Zhongbai glared at the palace gate angrily and was about to leave. At this moment, someone called out to him from behind.

"Thank you, Lord Tang, for speaking for me. I appreciate your kindness. You don't have to beg the prince for me in the future. Also, Mu Xia must not know what happened tonight. Thank you." After she clasped her fists to express her gratitude, she walked back to the mansion on the thick snow without looking back, and the heavy door of the mansion slammed shut.

Tang Boan looked at his brother and sighed in his heart. The prince's behavior was really hard to accept. He was afraid that his brother had already hated him.

"Go." Tang Zhongbai said the word "go" with a heavy emphasis, fearing that they would become strangers to Liu He.

The two brothers walked home in the heavy snow.

In the study of the palace, Liu He washed his hands, took out the key, opened the bottom drawer of the desk, and took out a scroll wrapped tightly in brocade.

He peeled off the layers of brocade and gently opened the scroll, and a picture of a beauty appeared before him.

The girl in the picture is about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a water-green gauze skirt. She has bright eyes and is standing by a pond. She holds a willow branch in her fair little hand, half-bending and gently tapping the water surface. A golden carp jumps out of the water, startling her so much that she almost jumps up.

On a willow tree not far away, a handsome young man's face was revealed among the lush branches and leaves. He had a dogtail grass in his mouth. His eyes were attracted by the girl and he sat up straight with amusement.

The scroll is old and has some rough edges.

"Ali, are you okay over there? I've been looking for you for so many years, and finally I met a girl who looks 70% like you not long ago. I know it's not you, you are so weak and kind, she can't compare to you at all."

Liu He's eyes were full of tenderness, and he stroked the girl's face with his fingers. "But I still envy your silly nephew for being able to marry a girl who looks so much like you. Tell me, have you returned to the Tang family in another identity?"

"Don't worry, they are your relatives. I won't hurt them in the slightest."

"I just tried to see if the brat was sincere to the girl, but he got scared like that. I'm afraid the brat has already hated me."

"I heard that the man surnamed Chu is her adoptive father. I just want to find out from her whether you are really happy when you are with him...? Is he good to you?"

Liu He's eyes dimmed, filled with infinite sadness. He smiled bitterly, "My words scared him. I'm afraid I'll never have a chance again."

He stared at the painting, sometimes in deep thought, sometimes muttering to himself, and Jiang Hongxin, who was on duty outside the door, frowned when she heard this.

This was not the first time that he had heard the prince talking to himself in the study, but it was the first time that he had heard his monologues filled with affection.
