Li Yu asked Qin about the life of widows. In this dynasty, women who did not remarry after their husbands died and remained widows for their husbands were called chaste women. Although chastity was not written into the law, women who remained chaste for life were praised by the court and the local governments. There were chaste women, and naturally there were also those who remarried, but the latter were usually spurned and looked down upon, and were despised by the world.

Liang's situation was more complicated and difficult. Normally, women could remarry if they had no so-called reputation, but Liang had almost no possibility of remarrying. Even though the Sixth Prince had been expelled from the royal family, Liang was considered to have been in the royal family. The emperor would not allow a former prince's wife to remarry, and Liang and Mu Tianxiao were married by the emperor. If she planned to marry someone else, she might be regarded as disobeying the emperor's order.

The emperor hated Mu Tianxiao, and therefore ignored Liang. Although the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was Liang's family home, she would inevitably be gossiped if she stayed there for a long time. In order not to burden her parents, Liang moved to the manor. Even so, she would be looked down upon even if she went out for a while.

"Master, do you want to matchmake for her?" Qin asked with a smile.

People who take the initiative to inquire about widows usually have a purpose. Qin herself has a sister who had a husband before. Because her husband died of illness, she suffered enough from being a chaste woman, and later remarried despite the cold eyes of the world. In her words, the days of being a widow were worse than death. Fortunately, her sister remarried and now lives a good life in another place, and often comes back to visit Qin.

Because of her sister's personal experience, Qin was in favor of Liang's remarriage, and thought that Li Yu was going to matchmake for Liang.

Li Yu was stunned. What matchmaking? What matchmaking?

If Liang and Mu Tianxiao were in love, and Liang was willing to remain a widow for Mu Tianxiao, Li Yu naturally couldn't say anything. But Liang was obviously extremely disappointed with Mu Tianxiao. Forcing her to remain a widow, how is this different from moral kidnapping?

Why must a good person hang on a dead crooked tree?

If a man dies, I haven't heard that these men will remain faithful to their wives. People only think that men need to be taken care of, and it is reasonable for a widower to remarry, but widows who remarry are criticized. This is too hypocritical.

However, Li Yu didn't think about who Liang must marry again. After Mu Tianxiao died, Liang had nothing to do with Mu Tianxiao, and should live the life she wanted.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not a matchmaker."

He just wanted Liang to get rid of Mu Tianxiao's shadow, and then she could remarry if she wanted, or stay quiet if she wanted.

Li Yu had plans to help Liang, but he hadn't figured out how to do it for a while.

He and the prince had a deep relationship, and if he asked the prince, the prince would definitely help him find a way, Li Yu was mysteriously confident.

Li Yu told Qin about his idea, and Qin sighed, "If the master can really help, it will be Liang's blessing. I just don't know if she is willing..."

Breaking off with the original husband's family is ultimately a departure from the secular world, and one needs to have the courage to withstand misunderstandings and insults.

When Qin's sister remarried, she was criticized by relatives and neighbors for not being a faithful wife. After her second husband took her away from her hometown, she was able to face the new life with ease.

Li Yu never thought there was another layer. Could Liang also reject his kindness?

Li Yu decided to send Qin to test Liang's attitude first.

The news he got was that Liang did not want to change the status quo. When asked why, she just said "people's words are scary."

After all, as Mu Tianxiao's wife, she can live alone and peacefully, but as her own identity, she has to endure the ridicule of the world.

This is not something that can be solved by changing one person's identity, but by changing a group of people.

The series of arrangements that Li Yu originally wanted to make for Liang were all in vain.

It seems that there is no need to discuss it with the prince...

No, I still have to go. Liang doesn't need it, but it doesn't mean that other women don't need it.

This is a social problem, not an individual problem.

Even if with his power, he can only make a little change in this world, even if it is just to be more tolerant to widows.

Li Yu ran to find the prince, but he couldn't find him after looking for several places. From a distance, he saw a circle of the prince's guards guarding outside the study. Li Yu went

over to ask, and it turned out that the prince and Ye Shizi had a confidential discussion. Li Yu turned around and wanted to leave, but the guard said that the prince did not allow others to approach, but there was no ban on the crown princess.

Li Yu: What does this mean? ?

Does it mean that he can go in directly?

Since the prince did not need to avoid him, Li Yu was not polite in his own home. He entered the study and took a few steps before he heard Ye Qinghuan's voice.

Ye Shizi said solemnly: "Tianchi, answer me, is he a human or a demon?"

Li Yu: ???

Li Yu is not a demon, but he is very sensitive to the term demon. Who told him to pretend to be a carp spirit? As soon as Ye Qinghuan mentioned the demon, Li Yu immediately identified himself with the demon. Could it be that his disguise is so unreliable? Chu Yanyu in front and Ye Qinghuan behind are both suspicious of him...

Chu Yanyu suspected him because a palace maid saw him transforming. What happened to Ye Qinghuan?

Li Yu was very sure that he had never transformed in front of Ye Qinghuan. He held his breath and continued to listen.

Facing Ye Qinghuan's question, Mu Tianchi did not give a direct answer as to who was the trusted person. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Ye Qinghuan said, "...that day, he suddenly appeared in the lotus pond and entrusted the tiger talisman to me, but he refused to go ashore and asked me not to let others get close. It was very... strange. But afterwards I asked the doorman, and he said that he did not see him enter the mansion."

Mu Tianchi listened calmly. The tiger talisman was a secret, and only a few people outside knew about it. However, it was common knowledge that the Crown Princess secretly ran out of the palace to call for help.

The emperor had personally witnessed Yu taking the tiger talisman away, so the prince took advantage of the situation to make the emperor think that Yu had handed the tiger talisman to the princess, and the princess would then try to get help, so that it would match the rumors outside. The emperor did not doubt it. In fact, only the prince and Li Yu knew that there was no relay in between, and it was Li Yu who delivered the tiger talisman.

Because the chaos of Princess Langya was successfully resolved, the prince did not think much about it. Ye Qinghuan felt suspicious, and now it seems that he was indeed negligent.

However, the prince would not be easily blown away by such a few words. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What does this prove?"

"Nothing." Ye Qinghuan said, "I have thought about it. It may be that my cousin's wife slipped in when the gatekeeper was not paying attention. Later, a commoner came to Cheng'en Mansion to ask for an audience. He said that he encountered a monster with a fish head and a human body below, half fish and half human. The monster escaped into the river outside Cheng'en Mansion. I didn't believe it at first and scolded the man and told him not to talk nonsense. But later I found out that the river and the lotus pond were connected..."

Mu Tianchi, Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu: Damn! This can be connected? !

When delivering the tiger talisman, he had to transform several times due to the complicated route. When he arrived at Cheng'en Mansion, he was in mermaid form. He hid his tail in the water. Ye Qinghuan was unable to approach him and did not say anything afterwards. Li Yu thought that everything was fine, but he did not expect that Ye Shizi still suspected him.

There was also a witness of the fish-headed man. Well, he was in a hurry and had no choice. Fortunately, he was met by Ye Qinghuan... He was in a hurry to save the old man and completely forgot about it!

The prince frowned in deep thought and said nothing. Ye Qinghuan hesitated and said, "Actually, these can't explain anything. It's... Later I heard that Noble Chu slandered the Crown Princess, saying that the Crown Princess was your fish. I, I remembered... that day when he was hiding in the water, I saw a silver shadow under the water. I didn't think about what it was at first, but after listening to Noble Chu's nonsense, I actually thought that it should be a fish tail..."

"Tianchi, no matter what, I still want to ask you first."

Ye Qinghuan thought for a long time, repeatedly pondering the events of that day, and actually had some judgments in his heart.

The reason why he has been dragging it on until now is that he has finally made up his mind and wants to get confirmation from the prince.

What Noble Chu, Noble Wang, Ye Qinghuan is a firm supporter of the prince and only cares about the safety of the prince.

Regardless of whether Li Yu is a human or something else, what is certain is that Li Yu has no ill will towards the prince or his family. This is a fact that has become clearer and clearer in his mind after he has been dawdling for so long.

Ye Qinghuan guessed it right. Li Yu was so embarrassed that he could dig out a large fish tank from the ground, but he didn't dare to show up and face Ye Shizi.

What if Ye Shizi asked him to answer, what would he say?

It is easy to deny it to death, but Ye Qinghuan has actually seen his tail... If he doesn't admit it, will Ye Qinghuan not doubt it?

This is probably not a solution to the problem, but a way of covering one's ears and stealing the bell!

Moreover, he and Ye Shizi and his wife are friends, and he can't ask him to take action against Ye Qinghuan. Li Yu doesn't want to hurt his friends... and he doesn't want the prince to hurt his friends for him.

The prince was also in a dilemma and asked tentatively, "What would happen if you knew?"

"Nothing." Ye Qinghuan said, "He saved the emperor, saved you, and saved me. He also helped you cure your muteness and gave birth to children for you. I won't tell anyone, including the princess. I just want to know the truth and don't want to do anything to him." If he

really did something, Ye Qinghuan wouldn't have waited so long to meet him in private.

Li Yu:!!!

Ye Qinghuan, good job, you are worthy of being the man who calls him cousin. Li Yu was so moved!

Recalling that day when he sent the tiger talisman, Prince Li didn't believe him, and it was Ye Qinghuan who helped him. Even if he had doubts in his heart, Prince Ye had always been taking care of him.

Mu Tianchi looked at Ye Qinghuan. The prince also understood Ye Qinghuan's character. The other party was serious and did not lie. The prince did not hide it and simply nodded and said, "Indeed, it is what you think."

Ye Qinghuan: "…………"

"So he, he really is?"

"...Yes."

Ye Qinghuan was mentally prepared and his mouth opened wide.

No wonder Li Yu could give birth to a child and help the prince so much. She is really a demon!

There are really demons in this world!

"Why does he, why does he stay by your side?" Ye Qinghuan asked stutteringly.

Ye Shizi feared ghosts and gods, and also feared demons. He couldn't understand why a demon would condescend to marry a mortal.

The prince said calmly: "Because he and I have a fate that will last for a hundred generations, we want to be husband and wife for a hundred generations, and this is the first life."

Li Yu: "…………"

Li Yu thought the prince would say that he had to overcome a tribulation or something, but the prince didn't. The prince felt that this was Xiaoyu's secret and he couldn't tell it even if he was beaten to death, so he would rather make up stories.

Li Yu finally saw that the prince was not talking nonsense, but was just making up stories!

Ye Shizi was really impressed, and he slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "So that's why you have that kind of fetish for fish, right? I, I understand."

The prince:?

Li Yu: "……"
