Chapter 81: What the Hell Outing

"We have noted the eldest lady's instructions and promise to get things done for her." As

for the matter of harvesting grain, these peasants are very familiar with it and will never let the eldest lady spend money in vain.

Qiufen thought for a while and said,

"Dad and Mom, I am not comfortable with the way the eldest lady is harvesting grain."

"Why don't we not sell the grain we harvested this year and keep it all."

"Now my brother and I are favored by the eldest lady, and it is much easier to make money than before."

"But once the grain is sold, it's gone."

"We peasants can't be like the people in the city and spend money to buy food, right?"

Qiufen's parents hesitated for a moment, and finally her father made the decision,

"Okay, we'll listen to the lady."

The lady served the eldest lady and knew more than these peasants.

The eldest lady is collecting grain, so it won’t be wrong for them to collect more grain.

At worst, they will sell the grain to the eldest lady in the end, even if it’s a few days late.

He is the one who collects the grain, and he can’t collect other people’s grain and let his own grain rot at home.

“Zhu Yingyan’s people are collecting grain?”

Upon hearing this news, the prince paused:

“Call Lord Xiao to me.”

Zhu Xuntao, the lucky star, is about to fall in the Yongjing Marquis’ Mansion. When it comes to Zhu Yingyan, the evil star, the prince is more willing to discuss the matter with Xiao Jingzhan.

“Prince.”

Xiao Jingzhan arrived soon.

The prince raised his hand and refused Xiao Jingzhan's gift:

"Zhu Yingyan seems to be harvesting grain on a large scale. What do you think she is up to?"

Xiao Jingzhan pondered:

"According to reports from various places, the weather in Yong Dynasty has been good this year, and the grain harvest should be good."

If there is no famine anywhere, what is the point of harvesting grain?

The prince picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said:

"Do you still remember that Zhu Xuntao once mentioned that Yaoxing and I had a relationship in this life, but it didn't end well."

"So, Yaoxing gave up on me in this life and wanted to turn to your arms."

"Do you think it's because Zhu Yingyan lived again and knew that there would be a catastrophe in Yong Dynasty, so she made preparations in advance?"

The prince's voice became firm when he spoke the latter part.

"It's possible."

Xiao Jingzhan's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled. If there is a catastrophe, it is the common people who will suffer, and the court will be shaken.

This is not conducive to the stability of the royal family.

Even if he guessed something, the prince felt that the matter was extremely difficult.

He only guessed the beginning, and had no idea about the specific situation.

He wanted to make defenses in advance, but he was at a loss.

"This Zhu Yingyan..."

The prince really wanted to kill Zhu Yingyan directly and put an end to it.

After trying several times, let alone taking Zhu Yingyan's life, Zhu Yingyan didn't even lose a hair.

This doesn't work in secret, and the prince also thought about doing it openly.

But Zhu Yingyan's situation is too special, and the prince is afraid of forcing a dog into a dead end.

If Zhu Yingyan is pushed into a corner, she will open her mouth and talk nonsense.

Then, not only will he fail to kill Zhu Yingyan, but he will also draw attention to her.

Once Zhu Yingyan is used by someone with ulterior motives, he dare not imagine how much unrest Zhu Yingyan can cause in Yong Dynasty.

For the sake of the people of Yong Dynasty, he cannot take this risk.

"No, Zhu Yingyan knows a lot of things we don't know, but we still have Zhu Xuntao here!"

The prince slapped his hand heavily on the table,

"Jingzhan, go find Zhu Xuntao now and see if you can 'ask' anything."

Xiao Jingzhan: "..."

It's not that he was unwilling to go, but he felt that the prince's words were weird.

Before Xiao Jingzhan figured it out, the prince's voice of disgust came over:

"Jingzhan, you and Zhu Xuntao have been engaged for many years, but you haven't married Zhu Xuntao until today..."

It's useless!

If it were someone else, considering the relationship between Xiao Jingzhan and Zhu Xuntao, let alone getting married, the children should have been born and run around.

So, this is Xiao Jingzhan's dereliction of duty.

If Xiao Jingzhan had worked harder, he would have married Zhu Xuntao earlier.

Why would they be so passive today about Zhu Yingyan?

Xiao Jingzhan: "..."

He seemed to see the shadows of other people in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion in the prince.

The people who looked down on Zhu Xuntao and felt that he was wronged by marrying Zhu Xuntao seemed to be the same group of people who now blamed him for being useless and not marrying Zhu Xuntao...

People, there are so many faces.

Hearing that Xiao Jingzhan was coming to see her, Zhu Xuntao rubbed her temples with a headache:

"Can I not see

him?" Thinking that she would marry Xiao Jingzhan in half a month or ten days, Zhu Xuntao felt very worried.

Can she really not escape this marriage?

No matter how handsome Xiao Jingzhan is, no matter how outstanding he is, as long as he is alive, he will not be her choice. Even

if Xiao Jingzhan didn't come to show his presence, Zhu Xuntao would never forget his name and his handsome face that angered both gods and humans.

But Xiao Jingzhan especially liked to report to the Zhu Mansion, and Zhu Xuntao was worried to the point of her hair turning white.

It's really...

We've been engaged for almost ten years, and Xiao Jingzhan is only now showing his courtesy. What was he doing before?

This Buddha's foot, it was held too temporarily, she didn't even need it!

"Miss, the aunt is here."

Qiuyue directly ignored Zhu Xuntao's refusal.

She hoped that Zhu Xuntao and Xiao Jingzhan's relationship would be better and better.

In the past, you ignored me and I ignored you, and Qiuyue was worried when she saw it.

"Are you feeling better?"

When Xiao Jingzhan saw Zhu Xuntao, his first words were about Zhu Xuntao's health.

Qiuyue poured tea for Xiao Jingzhan:

"Auntie, please rest assured that the young lady is fine now."

"I dare to guarantee you that on the day you and the young lady get married, the young lady will be full of energy and will not miss the auspicious date."

The wedding date does not need to be changed.

Zhu Xuntao came back from rescuing Xiao Chenliang and had a high fever that night.

In response to this, someone in the Zhu Mansion said that the wedding date of Zhu Xuntao and Xiao Jingzhan would probably be postponed.

The Yongjing Marquis's Mansion would definitely not want Zhu Xuntao to marry with such an illness, aren't they afraid of bad luck?

But the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion would not break up the marriage.

Zhu Xuntao just saved Xiao Chenliang.

After hearing these rumors that were not optimistic about Zhu Xuntao and Xiao Jingzhan, Zhu Xuntao, the person involved, didn't care, but Qiuyue was furious.

If she was not alone, she really wanted to find those people and have a good talk.

Why are these people so jealous of her young lady?

Xiao Jingzhan fully felt Qiuyue's desire for him and Zhu Xuntao to get married smoothly and as soon as possible:

"That's great, Taotao will be in your care, I'm relieved."

When Zhu Xuntao marries, he will naturally appreciate Qiuyue's loyalty to Zhu Xuntao.

Qiuyue poured tea for Xiao Jingzhan, who took the teapot and filled a cup for Zhu Xuntao:

"The weather has been nice recently, would you like to go out with me and see the scenery in the suburbs?"

"..."

Zhu Xuntao had a big question mark on her head, wondering what Xiao Jingzhan was up to:

[We are getting married soon, why are you still planning to have a wedding? ]

[It's been ten years, and you didn't want to have a wedding with me. What's the point of doing it now? ]
