Half a month later, Liniang and her party arrived in the capital.

"Fourth sister-in-law, look over there, the inn that my fourth brother and I stayed in when we came to Beijing for the exam." Xu Jinwen sat on the beam of the car and pointed to the inn road next to the market.

Liniang opened the curtain and took a look, the inn looked magnificent from the outside, presumably the man didn't suffer much during his time in Beijing.

Zhu Fugui stopped the carriage, turned to the inside of the carriage and said, "Sister and sister, I'll go down and find out where the fourth brother's residence is."

Liniang lifted the curtain and said, "Let's go together." After saying that, she bent down and got out of the carriage. Behind her, Cheng En's younger sister, Cheng Yue, jumped out and helped Liniang get off the carriage.

A group of people walked to a small stall, and Zhu Fugui asked, "Uncle, how can I get to the mansion of Lord Zhuangyuan Lang Cheng?"

"Master Cheng? Oh, you are asking the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Cheng Yi, right? Go straight ahead, turn left at the bun shop, go straight, and go straight inside."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice?" Zhu Fugui was taken aback, and turned to look at Liniang and Xu Jinwen who were equally astonished.

"Uncle, do you mean that my brother Cheng Yi has become the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice?" Xu Jinwen's tone was filled with anticipation and joy.

"Oh, the young master was originally the brother of Mr. Cheng. Disrespect and disrespect. The young master did not know that Mr. Cheng had made great contributions to the Yang party. It is said that the number one scholar is young, so I am afraid that he will not be able to judge the case. Who knows, the people who judge each case are convinced. Not long ago, the people decided to behead the emperor's relatives. At such a young age, it is reasonable to decide the case It is said that he is a good official who makes decisions for the people."

"Hey, I knew my brother was great." Xu Jinwen was a little smug.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhu Fugui thanked the stall owner with a smile, and walked forward with Liniang and Xu Jinwen.

Liniang thought it was because Cheng Yi was not in the capital, but now that he knew that the man had become the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, she was half relieved, but why didn't she send a letter home for so long, she was so busy with business that she didn't even have time to write a letter home ?

"Congratulations to my sister-in-law, she is now Mrs. Shangshu." Xu Jinwen laughed.

"Yes, brother and sister, congratulations." Zhu Fugui echoed.

"I actually don't want her to be promoted to a high position, as long as she is safe." The corners of Liniang's mouth rose slightly. She doesn't envy such a high-ranking official as Mrs. Shangshu or not. Being a daughter is always worrying, if you want her to say, it's better to resign and go home.

A group of people turned around the steamed stuffed bun shop and walked in. All the way down, they didn't see the word Chengfu.

Xu Jinwen stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, how can I get to Master Cheng Yi Cheng's mansion?"

The passerby froze for a moment, looked sideways at the plaque on the county horse mansion, raised his arm and said, "Isn't this what it is?"

Liniang looked along the pedestrian's arm, and when the words "Junmafu" came into view, they stuck deeply in her heart.

"Junma mansion?" Xu Jinwen and Zhu Fugui entered.

"No, no, my fourth brother's name is Cheng Yi, not a county horse." Zhu Fugui was in a hurry.

"That's right, Mr. Cheng is the county matriarch. You don't know that he has married the princess since he returned from his meritorious service in Xifan?" The pedestrian said, bypassing Zhu Fugui and leaving.

Zhu Fugui and Xu Jinwen looked at each other and looked at Liniang in front of them.

Cheng Yue was even more dazed. She had the impression that the young master treated the young lady very well. She once thought that the young master and the young lady were the fairy couple.

"Siblings." Zhu Fugui stepped forward and looked at Liniang.

Liniang didn't seem to hear, and went straight to Junma Mansion, she didn't believe it, how could she believe it, that person, that person suffered a lot of infamy in Nantong for her, at that time the mountain chief didn't like it, Shihlin scolded, but that person will Be firm and never leave her, now, how can you marry someone else now, and that person is a woman, how can you be unlucky?

"Stop, who is it?" The guard stopped Liniang.

"I'm looking for Cheng Yi." Liniang looked up at the guard.

"Can you also call the name of Junma Ye directly?" the guard said angrily.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, I misunderstood, I have acquaintance with Master Cheng, and I am going to Beijing to do business. I want to visit him, and I will trouble you to report to him." Zhu Fugui stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Master Junma accompanied the princess to Wangxianglou to listen to the opera, and he is not in the mansion." The guard heard that he was the brother of Junma, and his attitude was a little better.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhu Fugui smiled.

When Liniang heard the phrase 'Junma accompanied the princess to Wangxianglou to listen to an opera', she swayed and walked away without thinking.Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, whether today is true or not, you have to see that person.

Seeing this, Cheng Yue hurriedly followed, and when she saw the tears on Liniang's face, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed. The young lady just gave birth to two young ladies, so it's not sad to suffer such an accident.

At this time, on the second floor of Wangxiang Building, Cheng Yi was accompanying Song Rongyue to watch a play. From then on that night, in order to confuse the prince, Cheng Yi paid a lot of attention to Song Rongyue. He often went to enjoy plum blossoms and listen to plays together. Occasionally, I will accompany you to choose a rouge or jewelry.

"Good!!!" Someone downstairs shouted.

"Princess, this is strange. Chen Shimei has a wife in her hometown, so why did the princess go to the palace and ask the queen mother to forgive her when she found out?" Ah Hua looked at the princess on the stage and stopped Master Bao, feeling puzzled. .

"Then you have to ask the writer of the drama, but I guess the writer of the drama must have considered that the princess is afraid of being a widow. Even if he knows that he has a wife in his hometown, it is too late. After all, the princess has already married Chen Shimei." Song Rongyue picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "However, the writer of the drama probably has no contact with the royal family. Usually, when encountering such things, the princess's methods will not let such scandals leak out. Royal secrets are absolutely impossible for the common people to talk about."

Ah Hua felt reasonable when she heard the words, and thought about the few princesses who had a good relationship with her princess, how could each of them have a temper that would tolerate the son-in-law cheating on them?

"Hey, princess, what will happen to a person like Chen Shimei in our court?" Ah Hua thought about those princesses, and it was unlikely that she could continue to live with a consort like Chen Shimei.

"Execute in secret and report it as a sudden illness." Song Rongyue pinched a piece of pastry and thought for a while.

Cheng Yi's hand holding the teacup trembled when he heard that, not only did she have a wife and a daughter in her hometown, but she was also a girl, so if she was found out, she would have to be tortured?

On that side, Liniang and her group stepped into the Wangxiang Building, just as Chen Shimei was beheaded by a dog on the stage.Liniang looked around, but Cheng Yi was nowhere to be seen.

"Sister-in-law, with that person's current status, I'm afraid he won't be listening to an opera in the lobby. Maybe he's in a private room. Come with me. I'll let him see you. Let's not go looking for him, but invite him to see you. How will he answer?" Xu Jin got angry and led the people inside.

Just as Cheng Yi put down the teacup, he looked down and saw a woman's figure, his eyes flickered, and when he wanted to take a closer look, the person had already gone behind the curtain.

Cheng Yi's heart was beating thumpingly, thinking of Liniang, he was in a trance.

'Could it be that my eyes are dazzled because I'm thinking about it every day? '

"Junma, what's the matter?" Song Rongyue asked softly.

"Oh, nothing." Cheng Yi smiled at Song Rongyue.

"I don't think Junma's expression is right. Is it because the business is too heavy recently? If there is a lot of business, you don't have to accompany me everywhere." Song Rongyue said slowly.

"Thank you for your understanding." Cheng Yi stretched out his hand to hold Song Rongyue's hand on her thigh, and her eyes instantly became affectionate.

Song Rongyue's hand was held by Cheng Yi, she was startled for a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she withdrew her hand because of the public situation, and a moment later, when she saw the curtain on the stage, she stood up.

"Where is the princess going?" Cheng Yi asked.

"Go to the toilet." Song Rongyue took Ah Hua and Ah Qin away quickly after saying that.

After Song Rongyue left, Cheng Yi's eyes turned cold, and he took a sip of the tea.

"Masters, judges, today, please listen to the Nantong pipa ditty." The class master set up the chairs and stepped back.

Liniang walked out from the curtain with her pipa in her arms, and raised her head after she sat down firmly on the chair. When she looked up and saw Cheng Yi on the second floor, she was stunned. That person was indeed here. Hearing the heartbroken voice, she never imagined that the reunion after a long absence would be in such a situation, her heart ached as if she couldn't breathe anymore.

"Hey, why don't you play it?"

"Yes, sing quickly!!!"

Cheng Yi kept his head down thinking about the way ahead, when he heard the booing from below, he raised his head, and saw a delicate face and eyes full of tears that he missed day and night, Cheng Yi felt a pain in his heart, stood up in a panic, and walked forward Taking a step forward, he tightly grasped the railing on the second floor with both hands, and looked at Li Niang without blinking.

"It's her." Cheng Yi's eyes were already blurred with tears, at this moment, he was close at hand, yet separated by thousands of mountains.

Liniang came back to her senses, and saw that Gao Gao was making a fuss, so she fiddled with the pipa, and the sound of the pipa also rang out when the tears fell, and the surroundings fell silent.

"The daughter of the Qin family traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to find her husband~" Liniang sang while playing the pipa, "I was shocked to hear that Bo Xing had joined the emperor's family, where the east wind blows dreams of new willows, and I am afraid of looking back when I think about the past here. The most difficult thing is not to see through, not to see how high and how far away, vows to follow the water, not to see that people are thousands of miles away, it is hard to find a confidant, not to see how to teach people to go to high places, how to teach innocence as before Together."

Hearing Liniang's singing, Cheng Yi felt a severe pain in his chest and a fishy taste in his mouth, so he fell on the stool, took out the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, was taken aback when he saw the blood on the handkerchief, then put the handkerchief in silently cuff.

"Now that the heart is dead and the intention is gone, the love will not hurt until the end, and from now on, put away the warm relationship between husband and wife, let the wind blow the dream, and the dream will never wake up!"

Li Niang was already in tears when she sang, her eyes met each other, and Cheng Yi thought about it for a moment, and rushed down to hold Li Niang in his arms, and told Li Niang that she had not betrayed her heart, They go home together.But her feet are like a thousand catties, she can't, her reason does not allow her to do such a stupid behavior, it would be a pleasure to do that, but there will be an abyss in the future.

When Cheng Yi was in pain, there were footsteps beside him, Cheng Yi quickly hid his tears and picked up tea.

Song Rongyue came back with her skirt in her hand, sat next to Cheng Yi, and looked towards the stage: "Hey, is the case of guillotine beauty over?"

"Well, the curtain is over." Cheng Yi lowered her head, not daring to look at the stage, even if she didn't look, she could still feel Liniang's gaze.

Song Rongyue felt something was wrong when she heard the voice, looked at Cheng Yi, and asked in a soft voice: "Junma, why are you crying?"

"Oh, I don't know where the class leader found someone who can sing Nantong ditties. I can't help but feel sad when I hear the local accent and recite the past." Cheng Yi said and quickly glanced at the stage, and saw the sneer at the corner of Liniang's mouth when she turned around. Laughing, I suddenly felt that the bone was stuck in my throat, and I wanted to speak again but couldn't speak.

Song Rongyue understood what she said, and held Cheng Yi's hand, she said, "It's human nature for a county horse to miss her mother-in-law. My father told me that he has sent additional people to various places to look for her mother-in-law. I think there will be news soon. , although the mother-in-law is already insane, if she finds her and asks the Tai Hospital to take care of her carefully, she will be able to turn around."

Cheng Yi was already heartbroken, but she became even more angry when she heard the words, and she clenched her left hand tightly. To prevent her from going back to Nantong on the grounds of going home to visit relatives, the prince even made up the bastard story that her mother was insane and her whereabouts were unknown. Sadly, she couldn't refute it on the spot , Haha, sad.

"Thank you Princess for your relief, I will go to the toilet first, and then accompany the Princess back to the mansion." Cheng Yi stood up and walked downstairs.

Walking to the back curtain, Cheng Yi saw Zhu Fugui and Xu Jinwen.

For the first time, Xu Jinwen didn't rush forward, but turned his face away.

"Liniang is in Wengeya, you can go now." Zhu Fugui said and turned around.

"Thank you." Cheng Yi pursed his lips, walked quickly to the Wen Pavilion, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the door open.

Liniang didn't turn her head when she heard the sound, she held a handkerchief and wiped away the uncontrollable tears that flowed out.

Cheng Yi closed the door and opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter the two words that he had called a thousand times in his heart. At this moment, he couldn't make a sound.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jun Ma." Liniang waited for a long time before Cheng Yi could speak, then turned around slowly, and was taken aback when she saw Cheng Yi's expression, which seemed to have a thousand words to say, and there was still her in her eyes Reflected, it seems that it is still the Ayi who loves her deeply.

Cheng Yi felt ashamed when he heard the words, he calmed down for a long time, and said, "Liniang, I, I really can't help you."

Liniang laughed out loud, and said sarcastically, "Other than that, do you have anything else to say?"

Cheng Yi slowly took out an envelope from his clothes, put it on the round table beside him, and closed his eyes.

The words "Da Da" and "Li Shu" came into Liniang's eyes, and Liniang couldn't bear it any longer, she looked at Cheng Yi with tearful eyes and hatred, hehe, she had to choose thousands of choices, she came and went cautiously, but she still fell into the trap What happened to Hugh.

"You take this letter of reconciliation, and I will give you all the property of the Cheng family in Nantong. In the future, if you find a husband again, I hope you..." Cheng Yi turned sideways and choked up, "I hope you remarry." Bring mother and, and two daughters."

When Li Niang heard Cheng Yi mentioning her daughter, her heart ached unbearably, and when she saw Cheng Yi was in the same pain, her tears couldn't stop shedding. At that moment, she hoped that it was just a misunderstanding.

Liniang shook her head, she really couldn't figure out why, her Ah Yi would not let her down, she could still feel Cheng Yi's heart at this moment.I really couldn't resist my love for Cheng Yi, so I took a step forward, hugged Cheng Yi from behind, and cried: "Ayi, tell me, it's all fake, you say, Ayi, Ayi, you It’s not like that, just say it, say it.”

Cheng Yi was flustered when she was hugged by Li Niang, and hearing Li Niang's crying, she couldn't help it, so she turned around and hugged Li Niang, this long-lost feeling made her very nostalgic, and she hugged Li Niang tightly Li, lowered his head and kissed the slightly parted red lips.

The two closed their tearful eyes at the same time, embraced and kissed, after a long time Liniang stopped, looked at Cheng Yi and whispered: "Ah Yi, how can you bear it, how can you bear it." Liniang beat Cheng Yi, "Ayi, don't be an official anymore. Power is no good. Let's go home. Mother and daughter are waiting for us."

These words, like a pot of cold water, extinguished Cheng Yi's passion, how to get back home.

"Why, you don't want to? Are you really with that princess..."

Cheng Yi reluctantly let go of Li Niang, and said helplessly, "I can't go back."

"Why? Why?" Liniang held onto Cheng Yi's robe tightly, "We have children, we have children!!!"

Cheng Yi was heartbroken, and knelt down at Liniang's feet powerlessly: "I'm not worthy, Liniang, I'm sorry for you in this life, you, you forget about me, go back and take mother and child to change places, don't mention me from now on, Don't mention me."

Liniang calmed down after hearing the words: "Did something happen to you?"

"Don't ask, let's go, don't come to the capital again." Cheng Yi stood up, turned his back and said.

"Why don't I ask, how can I not ask?" Liniang stood in front of Cheng Yi, "In the future, when the child grows up and asks me for a father, what do you want me to say?"

Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes: "Just say he's dead."

Liniang was stunned, the tears were still wet on her face, she felt more and more that Cheng Yi had something hidden.

"You haven't said anything about your love. If you don't tell me today, I won't leave."

"I've said everything I can say." Cheng Yi covered his heart, only feeling the blood flow from his heart, and the pain was severe.

"I want to hear everything. If you don't say why, I won't leave."

Cheng Yi couldn't see clearly at the moment, he shook his head and looked at Liniang and said, "What do you want me to say, do you have to embarrass me, okay, if you want me to say it, I will say it, I came back from Xifan and stayed in the palace I fell in love with the princess at the middle banquet, and it was out of control, and I was entangled for several days, so I proposed marriage to the prince."

"Smack!!!" Liniang looked at Cheng Yi's expression, she was very unfamiliar, and couldn't hold back her anger anymore, so she slapped Cheng Yi, "I knew women were unreliable, so I should choose a woman that day." The farmer is married, I shouldn't have married you, let alone be emotional, Cheng Yi, I will hate you forever." After saying that, she turned around and ran out.

Cheng Yi staggered two steps back when he heard the words.

Zhu Fugui and Xu Jinwen saw Liniang running out crying, and hurriedly followed.

Cheng Yi clutched his heart and went out of the house, just about to catch a glimpse of Liniang's back, but unexpectedly saw a person jumping over the wall from the corner, he was taken aback for a moment, then panicked, ran out from the side door in a panic, ignoring all kinds of discomforts in his body.

Cheng Yi ran to Junma Mansion, pushed open the study door, saw Cheng En, and ordered: "Quickly, take my transfer order, go to the Criminal Department, transfer a team to the gate of the city, and make sure to protect your young lady from Beijing safely. "

"What, the young lady has come to Beijing?" Cheng En was shocked.

"Well, the prince's people must have returned to the palace, I'm afraid the prince will send someone to intercept, you go immediately." Cheng Yi tore off the token and stuffed it into Cheng En's hand, "Remember, if you are in danger, let the people from the Ministry of punishment go, you Don't show up."

Cheng En shook his hand holding the token, turned around and ran out quickly.

After Cheng En left, Cheng Yi couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.Cheng Yi clutched his heart, feeling that everything in front of him was becoming more and more blurred, and walked to the bed with great effort, his head sank, and he fell straight on the bed.

On that side, Cheng En led the people from the Ministry of Punishment to the gate of the city, and happened to see the carriage driven by Zhu Fugui leaving the city gate. The man in black blocked the way.

"Does that bastard Cheng Yi want to kill his wife like Chen Shimei Caomiao?" Zhu Fugui was so furious for the first time.

Cheng En quickly asked the people from the punishment department to go out, and hid himself behind a tree. When he saw his sister, he almost rushed over, but he took it back after stepping forward, and he couldn't show up.

As soon as the people from the Criminal Department appeared, the group of men in black looked at each other and then withdrew.

"Officer, hurry up and chase after him, hurry up and chase after him." Xu Jinwen panicked and tugged at the sleeves of the official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he was afraid that Cheng Yi would kill him.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. Don't worry, we are on duty in this area. Right now, we can protect you and leave." The arrester of the criminal department followed what Cheng En had said in advance.

Liniang who was in the carriage lifted the curtain and asked slowly, "Are you from Cheng Yi?"

"Madam, we are on duty here, and we don't belong to anyone." The policeman got an order to kill someone who didn't know who it was, "Madam, let's go."
