In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Just a few days later, Wan'er's second birthday party was held.

Ye Lingyao became Wan'er's godmother.

She, a 14-year-old girl who was not yet married, became a mother unexpectedly.

No matter what others think, she is quite happy with it anyway.

Everyone else is also happy. After all, having a county chief as a godmother is a blessing that no one else can ask for.

The guests also congratulated them with envy.

During the entire birthday party, the only unhappy person was Jiang Han.

He had already said that Ye Lingyao had absolutely no good intentions.

look!He must have been right, it's all because they didn't believe him.

Well, now, their little girl has indeed been kidnapped...

However, what people didn't expect was that the little girl from the Jiang family had a very unexpected guest at her birthday party.

The front hall was filled with joy when someone outside came in to announce in a panic.

"Master, madam, outside, outside, outside..."

Jiang Dongjia frowned, "If you have something to say, why are you in such a hurry?"

The boy guarding the door had a complicated look on his face, flustered and happy at the same time. He calmed down for a while before speaking.

"There are guests arriving outside."

"When guests arrive, welcome them in. Why did you run in so panicked?"

The boy came over and whispered, "The person here is... His Highness the Fifth Prince."

As soon as he said this, the Jiang family immediately stood up from their seats and looked outside in panic.

"Why is the fifth prince back?"

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Ye Lingyao.

Ye Lingyao was also confused, but her expression was still calm, "It's better to go out and greet him first."

However, before everyone could go out, they saw the fifth prince walking in.

After all, there were too many people outside, so the fifth prince came here quietly, not wanting to attract too many people's attention.

If you kneel in a large area outside, it will be too windy.

As soon as everyone walked out of the courtyard, they saw someone walking in at the door of the courtyard.

Most of the people who can come to the Jiang family's banquet are ordinary merchants' families. It's surprising enough to have a county head coming, but it's also puzzling to welcome the prince.

But they could still recognize the fifth prince, and when they saw him, everyone knelt down.

"Common people meet His Highness the Fifth Prince."

"A common woman meets His Highness the Fifth Prince."

Ye Lingyao looked at Huo Xinglan with a complicated expression. On this occasion, she should salute.

It's just that after what happened last time, she has been hiding and has not seen him.

When we meet again this time, I don’t know what attitude I should use to face the person in front of me.

Just as she was about to move, Huo Xinglan quickly stepped forward and helped her up.

"You don't have to be like this, Ayao."

He spoke in a low voice and others did not hear him, but Yu Qian and Jiang Han who were standing next to Ye Lingyao heard him.

The two of them looked up in astonishment, and happened to catch the sight of the two of them looking at each other.

Jiang Han was immediately stunned, "Lingzhi..."

Huo Xinglan turned around and saw Jiang Han, "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Jiang Han was stunned immediately. He looked at Ye Lingyao and then at Huo Xinglan, "You? What are you..."

Ye Lingyao didn't reply.

Huo Xinglan only nodded slightly at him and said, "We'll talk about it later."

Then he looked at the others and said, "Let's all get flat."

Everyone stood up one after another, but they didn't dare to look at it openly.

This is the prince, and this is the first time they have observed him at such a close distance.

Even if they met on the street, they would only bow their heads and kneel in worship. How could they have the opportunity to have such a close contact?

Seeing that something was wrong, the Jiangdong family quickly greeted everyone and returned to the banquet hall.

Everyone reluctantly left, and only Jiang Han, Ye Lingyao, and Huo Xinglan were left in the courtyard.

Even Yu Qian hugged Wan'er and left first without getting involved in this kind of thing.

Several people sat in the front hall, and Jiang Han was still a little confused.

He looked at Huo Xinglan with a complicated expression, "Are you... the fifth prince, or Ye Lingzhi?"

Huo Xinglan smiled and said, "I am the fifth prince, and I am also Ye Lingzhi."

Jiang Han's expression was a little complicated. He glanced at Ye Lingyao with an ugly expression.

"Then do you know that Ayao has traveled all over the Great Liang Kingdom and been looking for you for three years?"

Ye Lingyao raised her head hurriedly, "Jiang Han! Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to find my brother."

Jiang Han smiled, "Yes, your brother, Ye Lingzhi."

Ye Lingyao calmed down for a while, "I'm looking for my eldest brother, Ye Wenxiu, not Ye Lingzhi."

Of course Jiang Han knew what was going on.

It was true that he was looking for Ye Wenxiu, but it was not a lie to look for Ye Lingzhi.

The two brothers could not be found, and Ye Lingyao had been wandering outside for the past three years.

She did business in every city just to find Ye Lingzhi.

She went to every military camp, delivering clothes and food, just to get news about Ye Wenxiu.

Others don't know all this, but he knows it very clearly.

Even he would always inquire about these two people no matter where he went.

They communicate so frequently, mostly to find these two people to communicate with each other.

Huo Xinglan felt a little distressed when he heard these things.

He only knew that she would go out often, and that she went to many places. He knew that wherever she went, she would visit the local military camp.

He felt sorry for her, but there were many people staring at him right now, and he didn't dare to act rashly, let alone contact this girl.

I'm afraid that she will be involved in this vortex of power.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect her.

It wasn't until this time that she appeared in front of him again that he realized that all his previous restraint was in vain.

He couldn't help but care.

Especially when everyone else was eyeing her, he was even more worried about her situation and safety.

When others were plotting against her, he had a crazy idea in his heart.

If he doesn't stand up, Ayao may become someone else's.

So this time, he desperately wanted to be with her.

No matter how many tricks he uses, no matter how many trump cards he exposes, he will keep her by his side.

After a long silence, Huo Xinglan spoke again.

"Not anymore. I will always be with A Yao."

Ye Lingyao turned away and did not answer.

Jiang Han wasn't stupid either. Ever since he knew that the two were not biologically related, he could sense that Ye Lingyao had Ye Lingzhi in his heart.

He also watched her suffer for three years.

Now that they are reunited, he also hopes that the two of them can break through the obstacles and be together again.

Jiang Han sighed, "I hope you can do it."

As he said that, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "But why didn't you tell me earlier that you were a prince? Are you still hiding it from me?"
