The First Traitor [Rebirth]

When Yuan Ye was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, some people in the clan wanted to rely on his relationship to seek some benefits.Because of his sensitive identity, Yuan Ye was stared at by the prince's people everywhere, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Nowadays, many people who even Yuan Ye didn't know came to identify their relatives, begging Yuan Ye to arrange a good job for them.Yuan Ye angrily scolded these people for being shameless, and ordered people to drive them out, and they went around saying that Yuan Ye was ungrateful.

All kinds of rumors came out. When Yuan Li was asked if Yuan Ye was ungrateful outside, he felt that Yuan Ye's behavior made him lose face, so he went back and said to Yuan Ye: "Father, what are you doing now? They can arrange a county magistrate to do it!"

Yuan Ye reprimanded immediately: "Have you forgotten what the emperor's edict said? Do you really think that father can do whatever he wants, and you can do whatever he wants? People's greed is endless. Give him a county magistrate, and he will not be satisfied. One day I will want to replace my father's official hat!"

Yuan Li complained in his heart when he was scolded, but he also understood that Yuan Ye's words made sense, so he stopped talking about it.

Yuan Ye and Yuan Jing are very clear that this is a rumor deliberately released by someone, and after this kind of rumor comes out, either Yuan Ye chooses to compromise for the sake of reputation, then someone will impeach him for using power for personal gain; or Yuan Ye ignores it, and over time, his reputation It stinks, and the emperor will naturally not use such a person again.

It had to be said that this was a poisonous move, but Yuan Ye was helpless.

Yuan actually put down the scroll in his hand and glanced at the scenery outside the window.The bamboo outside is lush and green, and when the wind gently strokes it, it makes a rustling sound; the bamboo poles rub against each other, making a creaking sound.

Because of Yuan Mixue's matter, she thought for a long time, and there might be only one way for Yuan Mixue to not worry about getting married—let her leave Yuanfu.

But after leaving Yuan Mansion, how would she survive?

The faint quarrel outside brought her back to her senses, she put down her book and went out, Mai Ran followed silently.

Yuan suddenly looked at Mai Ran: "This is in the mansion, why did you follow?" These days, Mai Ran would only follow her to protect her when she was going out.And Mai Ran is no less a master, when following her, she was able to not affect her at all, and she even forgot that Mai Ran was by her side several times.

"Master ordered." Mai Ran said.

I thought it might have something to do with the quarrel.

Follow the quarrel, and meet Yuan Li and Nan Lian in the Chaoshou corridor in front of Zhibaixuan.Yuan Li didn't want to go with Yuan Jing, so he could only speed up his pace, and passed her one step ahead.

Nan Lian smiled slightly at Yuan Jing, without losing her royal demeanor, but after walking two steps, she suddenly turned her head and winked at Yuan Jing.

Yuan pursed her lips, why did she feel that Nan Lian was teasing her? !

In the living room, an old man in ragged clothes was rolling on the ground, and a young man was cursing beside him.Yuan Ye's face was dark, Yuan Lu's Yanran looked stunned, and Nursing Yuan stood beside him at a loss.

After Yuan Li and Nan Lian appeared, the old man was about to pass by when he suddenly stopped and continued to roll on the ground.Until Yuan Jing's figure approached, the young man seemed to have seen her, and hurried forward, crying, "Are you Jing'er? I'm your uncle! Do you still recognize me?"

Yuan actually glanced at Yuan Ye, Yuan Ye said angrily: "Don't pull him away yet! Throw him out!"

When the nursing home stepped forward, the old man rolled on the ground again, blocking the nursing home.Apparently, the level of violence of these two people has surpassed that of people who have known relatives in the past, so even the nursing home can't handle it.

Yuan actually waved his hand towards the nursing home and said, "What uncle?"

"Jing'er, I'm your mother's younger brother, this is your grandfather, you can't deny us!" The young man was about to approach Yuan Jing, but was stopped by the guard again.The old man also looked at Yuan Jing, crying with snot running down his nose.

"Grandpa, uncle?" Yuan Jing looked at them in confusion, but suddenly received a teasing look from Nan Lian, she looked at the old man meaningfully.

"Grandpa and uncle, how do you know that I am Yuan Jing, not him?" Yuan Jing asked, pointing at Yuan Li.

Both of them were startled, and then the young man said: "Jing'er, you look exactly like your mother, of course we remember you!"

Yuan actually changed his expression suddenly, and said in surprise: "So, is it really you?"

The man turned from sadness to joy, and said excitedly: "It's me! Jing'er, you still remember me, so let me just say, Yuan Ye, do you want to turn your face and deny anyone, you ungrateful thing, luckily Jing'er recognizes me!" I!"

"Nonsense, Qingfeng doesn't have a father or brother at all!" Yuan Ye was so angry that his face turned blue. He was eager to explain to Yuan Jing, but because so many people were present, he couldn't explain it!

It turned out that she didn't know that she had such a pair of relatives in the memory of her previous life, but the two people who appeared now made her a little confused.Just now, Nan Lian's hint let her know that the old man almost misunderstood Yuan Li before, but he retreated quickly.It shows that their purpose from the beginning is the truth, not to recognize relatives!

Yuan actually called Nursing Yuan to him, and then said a few words in a low voice, Nursing Yuan was a little surprised, but nodded to express his understanding.Yuan actually said to the young man: "You look like this, you must have endured a lot of hardships, I will ask you to arrange a place to live for you, how about a few days of rest?"

"You're still considerate, not like someone, hehe!" The man snorted coldly at Yuanye, then helped the old man up and went down to the nursing home.

This act of ignoring Yuan Ye's decision was surprising, but Yuan Ye was not angry about it, he asked, "Jing'er, why did you do this?"

"Father, let me ask, my mother..." Yuan unexpectedly paused for a while, "Do you really have no relatives?"

"No." Yuan Ye said firmly.

Yuan actually smiled and said, "I just want to let them get what they want, but it's just that I have to pay a little price."

Yuan Jing had a warm smile on his face, before everyone understood the meaning of this smile, they heard two wailing sounds coming from the wing room in the backyard.Yuan Ye glanced over there, and Yuan Li was taken aback.

The butler hurried over to see what was going on.After a while, the butler came back and reported what he had seen: "Master, the old one has a broken leg, and the young one has a broken arm."

Everyone immediately understood the meaning of that smile, and felt a chill run down their spines, and what made their hearts tremble even more was Yuan Jing's next words.

"What's going on?" Yuan actually asked in surprise.

Housekeeper Khan, Yuan actually asked him what was going on, isn't she the one who knows best what happened? !

"They accidentally fell down." The butler said what the nursing home relayed after deliberation. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was interrupted. How did it come about? !

"Why are you so careless? Housekeeper, go find the doctor, and prepare new clothes for them to change into..."

It seems that Yuan actually fell in love with these two liars!

Yuan Ye didn't speak, but Yuan Lu was frightened by Yuan Jing's methods. Yuan Li had already seen Yuan Jing's methods, and this time he didn't make a sound.Yuan Yuan asked, "Have so many relatives come to visit recently?"

"They're all here to ask for an official." Yuan Ye sighed.

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs, if the Yuan family didn't give people the illusion of being able to drill holes..." When Yuan Jing said this, seeing Yuan Li shrinking her neck and her eyes flickering, she knew it must be Yuan Li He was bragging outside again for the sake of face.

Ignoring Yuan Li, Yuan actually left without finishing his sentence.As soon as she left, the people around felt that the atmosphere was not so cold. Yuan Lu said to Yuan Ye: "Master, look at her attitude, she dares to make her own claims in front of you..."

Yuan Ye glanced at her and said appreciatively, "Jing'er did a good job. If there are still people coming to recognize relatives in the future, let's do it this way."

"What if they are real relatives and friends?" Yuan Li asked.

"The Yuan family doesn't need too many relatives." Yuan Ye threw out such a cold sentence with a stern face.

Yuan Lu and Yuan Li had nothing to say. When Yuan Li was about to comfort Nan Lian, he found that Nan Lian was no longer by his side. He turned his head and asked Chuu Yu, "Where is the princess?"

"do not know."

"Don't know?! You!" Yuan Li stared at Chuuyu, was about to get angry, but suddenly remembered something and gave up.

Nan Lian caught up with Yuan Jing, she shouted, "Yuan Jing, stop!"

It didn't stop. Suddenly, she heard the sound of water falling into the pond behind her.He stopped abruptly, turned around and saw waves rippling on the surface of the water.

She ran over immediately, searching for Nan Lian's figure with her eyes, but the water in the pond was not very clear, and some sludge rolled up, making it even more turbid.

"Princess!" Yuan Jing shouted, but there was no response. She took off her belt and coat and was about to jump into the water, but suddenly a pair of hands hugged her from behind.

Yuan actually stabilized his figure and mind, and then distanced himself from the person behind him, and that person was Nan Lian who had succeeded in his scheme.

"You—" Yuan Jing was angry, is it fun to pretend to dive? !

She looked at Nan Lian expressionlessly, Nan Lian knew she was wrong, and muttered: "Who told you not to stop!"

From the corner of the garden came the voice of the stamen: "Master, Eldest Young Master!"

Nan Lian glanced at the corner, which was blocked by a wall.If Yuan Ye and Yuan Li saw Yuan Jing standing in front of her without wearing a coat, then their "adultery-love" should really be discovered.

Looking back, Yuan had already plunged headlong into the icy cold water.The figures of Yuan Ye and Yuan Li slowly appeared in their field of vision, and they saw Nan Lian at first glance, and then saw Yuan Jing in the pond.

"What's going on?" Yuan Ye stepped forward quickly to see Yuan Jing, and was relieved to find that there was nothing wrong with Yuan Jing.

Yuan actually raised the jade pendant in his hand, and said: "The jade pendant fell off accidentally, I went into the water to pick it up."

When Yuan Ye saw this, a trace of doubt flashed in his mind, and finally he just said: "It's just a jade pendant, you can just buy it when it's gone, what if you catch the cold?! Hurry up and get up!"

After climbing up from the pond, she was completely soaked. Although she was very calm, her lips were still trembling slightly.Nan Lian picked up her coat and put it on her body. Yuan Li expressed dissatisfaction with Nan Lian's move, but he didn't say anything in front of Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye took a deep look at Nan Lian, and said to Yuan Jing, "Hurry up and take a hot bath and drink some ginger soup!"

"Father, I have something to tell you." Yuan Jing said.

"If you have something to do, you have to wait until you warm yourself up!" Yuan Ye was a little angry. Others didn't know it, but he knew it very well.If a man falls into the water and is frightened, he is likely to be seriously ill, not to mention that it is a daughter!Seeing Yuan Li looking at Nan Lian again, he said, "Li Er, follow me to the study."

"Ah?!" Yuan Li was a little sad. After all, it was a coincidence that he and Yuan Ye came here, and his main purpose was to find Nan Lian. Now Yuan Ye took him to the study, and he didn't know how long he would stay here. .

Furthermore, he had a ghost in his heart. He was afraid that Yuan Ye would know that so many people came to recognize relatives because he was bragging outside for the sake of face.

Hua Rui also saw Yuan Jing fell into the water, she knew Yuan Jing's identity, so she went to ask someone to prepare hot water and ginger soup earlier.

After Nan Lian sent Yuan Jing back to her room, she went to the kitchen herself, and on the way she glanced at Chuu Yu: "Where were you just now?"

Chuu Yu bowed his head guiltily, not intending to find any excuses for his dereliction of duty.

When we got to the kitchen, we had a face-to-face meeting with Huarui, Huarui knew the purpose of Nan Lian's visit, and said: "Princess, just leave this place to our servants."

Nan Lian thought there was no room for her to intervene, so she left it to Chuu Yu and went back.After she left, Huarui asked Chuuyu, "Did the princess scold you?"

Fuyu looked at her and didn't answer, but he acquiesced.Just now at the other end of the garden, she met Hua Rui and chatted with her.If Huarui hadn't spotted Yuan Ye and Yuan Li approaching with sharp eyes, it might have spread that Nan Lian had an affair with Yuan.
