From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

*

In the alley outside the Tang Mansion.

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu handed a small cloth bag in her hand to the man in front of her.

The man was half a head shorter than Liu, wearing a gray linen shirt and looking wretched. He was Liu's younger brother Liu Duo. He spat out the hay in his mouth, opened the bag with an impatient look, and saw a very beautiful jade necklace inside.

Liu Duo's eyes lit up instantly.

"Wow, my aunt has become rich." Before Liu gave any instructions, he eagerly put the bag into his arms.

Liu didn't catch it at once, so she could only shout anxiously, "Wait...wait, this is not for you, it's for business."

Fearing that he would run away with the things, Liu grabbed one of his arms.

"Don't think about taking this thing. It belongs to the royal family. If you take it and get caught, you'll lose your head." Liu said loudly.

Lose your head?

When he heard about losing heads, Liu Duo's face changed. He took out the bag that was half hidden in his arms with disgust: "Liu Panchun, you fucking let me do the job of losing heads? Are you tired of living?" Liu Duo raised his head and glared at Liu angrily.

Liu was already used to his attitude, so she just said coldly, "It's already in your hands now, and you won't be able to escape if the things get out."

"You fucking idiot..." How could you hurt him like this?

"That's enough." Liu frowned in annoyance. She didn't mean to hurt him, but the jade necklace was extremely valuable. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she could only let someone close to her go to return it. Although her brother Liu Duo was not a good person, he was a very timid person. If she explained this to him, he would not dare to cause trouble.

Liu ordered expressionlessly, "Send it to the Yongning Marquis's residence. Remember to send it to the hands of the Crown Prince Zhou Ziyue. Don't tell anyone about this, and don't let anyone see it."

Liu Duo frowned in annoyance, with anger all over his face, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the job that Liu had assigned to him.

Liu saw what he meant, and took out a small brocade bag from her bosom, weighing it in her hand. Liu Duo's eyes lit up, and the thing was snatched away as soon as he reached out. The bag was heavy with what he wanted.

Liu Duo weighed it and slanted his lips: "That's all?"

It was enough for her to come up with a little every month. It would be terrible if Tang Jiang knew that she gave money to her brother every month. How could she dare to give him so much openly?

He, on the other hand, never knew how good his sister was, and always complained no matter how much he was given.

"You don't have to be disgusted. This is not a money house. I can give you as much as you want." She frowned.

"You deliver the stuff safely, and next time I promise to give you more than this time."

"As the mistress of the Tang family, she can only make empty promises to me." Liu Duo murmured sarcastically.

"You!" Liu was extremely angry.

Liu Duo curled his lips, picked up the bag and left.

"Remember what I said, you must deliver that thing." Liu emphasized.

Liu Duo waved his hand and left.

After walking out of the alley and reaching a deserted place, Liu Duocai could not wait to open the cloth bag containing the jade necklace again. The dark green beads caught his eyes again. They were so beautiful. He had never seen such a beautiful and rare thing in his life.

His eyes lit up. How much would this thing sell for?

If he sold this thing, it would be enough for him to win back the money he lost in the casino.

Oh shit!

It’s a pity that I can’t be the one!

I don’t know if that woman Liu Panchun was trying to scare him!

Thinking of this, Liu Duo scratched his head in annoyance, resigned himself to putting the thing back into the bag, and just as he stood up to leave, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him.

He was stunned.

Yingchun looked at him with a sweet smile and took out a heavy embroidered bag from her sleeve.

Early in the morning.

Several carriages came out of the east gate of the capital and headed to the suburbs. The peonies planted by Wei Wang Zhou Zhuoqi in the suburbs of the capital were in bloom.

It is said that a large area of ​​it opened at the foot of Yunqiu Mountain.

Today, all the noble sons and daughters are invited to come and enjoy the flowers.

Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Zhou Zhuoqi personally poured a cup of oolong tea and handed it to Bai Yanli who was looking out the window casually.

Bai Yanli was wearing a dark-colored long gown and had a tall figure. He looked outside with misty eyes. He took the tea with his slender hands, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

Zhou Zhuoqi came up happily and said, "Brother, you rarely come to the suburbs of Beijing, the spring scenery here is very beautiful."

"Yeah." Bai Yanli seemed to have something in mind and responded casually.

Zhou Zhuoqi saw that the entourage outside the car was far away, and then he continued to say to Bai Yanli: "Brother, the emperor often goes to Liuliyuan recently. You should know that it is where you lived when you were a child."

"Father is reminiscing about the past. You have successfully attracted his attention regarding the matter of Longquan Temple. I think you can make further progress."

further?

Bai Yanli glanced at him calmly. He didn't see that Emperor Zhou was privately investigating why he went to Longquan Temple.

The emperor is a deep and meticulous person. He has been sent away for many years. How can it be easy for him to get close to the emperor?

This matter cannot be rushed.

"Did you plant all those flowers outside?" Bai Yanli interrupted him casually. The carriage had already arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, and the patches of peonies outside were particularly pleasing to the eyes.

"Yes." Zhou Zhuoqi said, "It cost a lot of money."

“The color is nice.”

"Of course." Zhou Zhuoqi was very proud.

"These two acres of flowers are just perfect for me to make some peony water."

what?

Zhou Zhuoqi's face turned pale instantly. That was his sweetheart.

Zhou Zhuoqi, who had been muttering non-stop, suddenly stopped talking. The carriage fell into a rare silence.

Bai Yanli was sipping tea while looking out of the window. Coincidentally, a maroon carriage passed by. A gust of wind blew the curtain open, revealing a pretty, fair, soft and clear face in the carriage.

It was Tang Wanru.

Bai Yanli's heart trembled slightly.

Zhou Zhuoqi came up to him and followed his gaze. He remembered that Bai Yanli had noticed the eldest lady of the Tang family last time at the Prince of Wei's Mansion. He smiled and said, "Brother, I heard that the eldest lady of the Tang family is quite thoughtful and has not yet agreed to Zhou Ziyue's proposal."

"Yeah." Bai Yanli remained calm.

Thinking back to the news he got this morning, the eldest daughter of the Tang family knew that he wanted to marry her, and she did not refuse, saying that if he was sincere, she would be willing to marry him.

He was somewhat unexpected.

Is she willing to marry?

He didn't know what she was going to do, but she was brave enough to play with him like this. Wasn't she really afraid that she wouldn't be able to escape from his hands?
