The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed helplessly, and then coaxed Nini, who was even more confused, to sleep.

"It's been a long enough night. Let's get some sleep. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"Okay, you should take a rest as well."

Zhao Wu sighed, but said nothing more, found a farther corner, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After holding on for too long, Zhou Xiaoyuan also felt sleepy, so she carefully curled up into a ball and fell asleep.

On the other side, Prince Rong’s Mansion.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here to report on that woman."

Hearing this, Xia Yechen frowned slightly and couldn't help but clench his hands, but then he frowned again because he thought of another person.

After a long time, he let go of his hand and raised his eyes to glance at the servant behind the desk.

Sensing the prince's gaze, he immediately told what happened tonight.

"She went to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables and make wild vegetable dumplings. She has made a lot of money these days, and it is about to get better and better."

"It's a pity that her husband's family suddenly came and made a fuss and trashed the yard."

The guard felt a chill on his back and was about to explain when he heard footsteps approaching.

Instinctively feeling extremely dangerous, he wanted to continue explaining aloud, but found that the footsteps suddenly stopped and couldn't help but move his eyes.

Just in time to meet Xia Yechen's gaze, he looked away without any pause and knelt on the ground with both legs.

"How is it now?"

"Although Zhou Xiaoyuan is a woman, she is no less decisive than a man and knocked Zhao Linan unconscious."

He instinctively concealed the scene of being knocked unconscious and even changed the subject.

"Then Zhao Xu came over, and she put a knife on Zhao Lin'an's neck.

He forced his neck to write the letter of severance, as well as the letter of peace and departure from Zhao Wu. "

Hearing the knife being held against the opponent's neck, Xia Yechen's brows knitted together. He obviously wanted to say something but in the end, everything turned into a sigh.

These are all his fault. If he had waited any longer, he wouldn't be so aggrieved.

He still knew Zhao Linan's character very well, and he also guessed why Zhou Xiaoyuan knocked him unconscious, and his brows furrowed even more fiercely.

When the guard saw his appearance, he hesitated and lowered his head without making a sound.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but just when he was about to take the initiative to say that someone had escaped from the city, footsteps came from his side again.

Then there was the sound of the brush being picked up and dropped again.

"master?"

"Where is the man now?"

Hearing this, the guard hesitated a little, but still felt that he had to say it, and raised his eyes to look in the direction outside the city.

"My master didn't know that after she got the letter of severance, she knocked Zhao Xu out and left the city with some clothes and food."

"at this time?"

If I remembered correctly, there was no peace outside the city right now, and if she strayed out of the country, she would be courting death.

Thinking of this, Xia Yechen couldn't help but clenched the brush beside him and broke it into two pieces with a clicking sound.

Seeing that thing, the Municipal Party Committee always felt that the smile was on his own neck, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Fortunately, Xia Yechen didn't pay attention, but raised his eyes to look outside the city. After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked out the door.

"Master? Where are you going at this time?"

"If you talk too much, naturally go..."

When Xia Yechen said this, he suddenly got stuck. He turned around and walked back to the guard in silence.

The pressure in the room suddenly increased, but he didn't know why, so he could only bear it silently.

and also

I don't know how long it took, but I finally felt my body relax.

"Is she injured?"

"Zhou Xiaoyuan is very smart. Although she looks a little embarrassed, she is not injured. However, Zhao Wu received Zhao Linan several times."

Xia Yechen nodded clearly, then calmly sat down again, but his eyes no longer fell on the guards.

Sensing the master's silence, the guard raised his head cautiously and found that the man had been looking outside the city.

Is the master worried about that woman? Could it be an old friend?

The guard didn't know the reason, and he couldn't make random guesses about his master. Naturally, he could only keep this problem in his mind.

Just when he was about to come back to his senses and go find the group of companions who were still following him, he heard a vague sigh.

"master?"

"Suitable?"

When the guard heard this dull voice that he was accustomed to, he immediately regarded the sound as an auditory hallucination. After all, he had been following Zhou Xiaoyuan for several days without rest.

"say."

"My subordinates see that it is getting late and want to ask you if you want to continue to protect us. After all, the two of you who are leaving the city this time do not want to be involved with the Zhao family anymore and are afraid they will leave here."

After all, they have already escaped from the city. If they come back, they will be asking for trouble.

After hearing this, Xia Yechen finally picked up the pen again and clenched it tightly. Ink dripped on the rice paper.

An ink ball continuously smudges, and finally the words written on it are dyed, and the entire paper is useless.

"Do you think they will leave?"

"Yes, but these are all small guesses, and may not be what she thinks."

After hearing this, Xia Yechen loosened his hand slightly, took out the rice paper and put it aside to finish writing the letter again.

He retracted his hand, looked at the other party calmly, and said softly, "In that case, continue to follow.

"

"Yes."

The guard responded, then quickly exited the study, turned around, left Prince Rong's Mansion and rushed towards the city gate.

Following the marks, he came to the ruined temple and saw several people hiding in the trees.

Find a safe location, send out the agreed-upon signal, and soon everyone will be close to you.

"how?"

"She is very vigilant and can easily detect ill intentions towards her."

After making sure that everyone was fine, the guard naturally told the leader of his prince's arrangements.

I didn't expect that Xia Yechen would pay such attention to a widow. Everyone was full of curiosity. Now that they had some time off from their busy schedule, they naturally couldn't help but discuss her identity.

"Did this person ever help the prince? Otherwise, how could he help conceal his identity and let us protect him?"

"No, if it was just a benefactor, the prince could have brought the person into the house to repay his kindness, but he didn't. Instead, he sent the person back."

After hearing this analysis, everyone felt it was very reasonable and couldn't help but look at the big brother who made the analysis.

"Then what do you think his identity is? It can't be..."

"Have you forgotten the prince's original identity?"

The guards were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that the prince was found here.

"Calculating the years, the date when the prince found him is also similar to the age of the child, so you still think he is a benefactor?"

"Is she really the prince's first wife at that time? But isn't this even more strange? Why doesn't the wife, who is clearly the wife, join the prince's palace with all her glory? Instead, she is allowed to be bullied and sell those wild vegetable dumplings?"

Upon hearing this question, the guard known as the eldest brother glanced coldly at the aggrieved guard.

He was so frightened by that look that he lost his voice. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and looked carefully at the ruined temple.

No one was attracted by the sound, so he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at everyone again.
