Chapter 717: Do they know about climbing through the window?

"Or is it that Big Brother is afraid that I'll be tempted?" Xie Yunchu stared at him and asked.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "What am I afraid of?"

If he were really tempted - he wouldn't be tempted.

"Then big brother, even if it's for Yao'er and me, you must find out what happened to Qing Chang'an."

"Row."

"Also, if you are sure that you are not tempted, then you must not do anything or act that would cause Ah Ying to misunderstand you."

"nature."

Xie Yunchu breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiao Chen hadn't mentioned that Qing Chang'an might have a concubine's eldest son, he would have let it go.

But if Qing Chang'an is not as trustworthy as he appears to be, how can he feel at ease?

"Brother, wait for the news."

Xiao Chen nodded, and immediately made way when he saw Xie Yunchu was about to come out.

Xie Yunchu came out and turned to walk towards the cherry tree. Xiao Chen watched his figure disappear around the corner, smiled bitterly for a moment, and then closed Xie Yunchu's door.

Xiao Chen was about to return to his guest room when he suddenly saw Jian Wu and hurriedly walked towards him.

"Is Tao Wenjun okay?"

"She's fine." Jian Wu clasped his fists, "Tao Wenjun wants to see Your Highness."

Xiao Chen said: "Tell her that we'll meet in the autumn examination."

"Tao Wenjun said that although the rebellion in Jinzhou has been suppressed, the hatred towards women in Jinzhou is the strongest compared to other places in the country. She said she wanted to return to the capital with the princes and wait for the autumn examination."

"also may."

Jian Wu said, "Then I will ask her to pack her belongings as soon as possible and return to the capital with the main force tomorrow?"

Xiao Chen nodded: "Go ahead."

Jian Wu was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and said, "Tao Wenjun has another request."

"what?"

"Tao Wenjun said that if His Highness agrees to let her return to the capital, she would like to bring her parents and the tablet of her late husband with her. I wonder if that would be convenient."

Dead husband?

Jian Wu nodded, "During this incident, they killed her parents and her husband, because her family and husband were the first people to support her in taking the scientific expedition."

So that's how it is, he remembered, "I remember the previous memorial said that Tao Wenjun was married for the second time?"

"Your Highness, if you remember correctly, her first husband was Li Huili, the number one scholar in the same imperial examination as Qing Chang'an, and he served as the Prefect of Jingzhao."

"Li Huili?"

He had heard of this person before. He was a talented writer and was originally going to join the Ministry of Personnel. But why did he only get the position of Jingzhao Yin?

Jian Wu nodded, "Yes, his name is Li Huili."

Well, are people allowed to take those tablets with them?

Xiao Chen looked at Jian Wu, "And tell her that she can take whatever she wants."

"Yes."

Jian Wu took the order and went back immediately to inform them.

Xiao Chen looked at the bright sky. Tao Wenjun was now truly alone.

She also has to bring the tablets of her parents and her late husband. I think she has good character. I hope she can have a foothold in the capital in the future and fight for Yao'er and all the women in the world!

----

When Xie Yunchu arrived under the cherry tree, the young man and woman were gone.

He was not in a hurry and went straight to knock on Zhou Yiqing's door, but no one responded for a long time.

Xie Yunchu didn't care and pushed the door open directly. He didn't smile until he saw the young man sleeping soundly on the bed. He was really anxious and wanted to let the young man rest.

Walk out of the room.

Xie Yunchu went to find Xiao Zhenzhen. Ying'er saw Xie Yunchu as if she had seen a savior, "Son-in-law."

"Where's Zhen'er?"

"The young lady is embroidering a purse."

Xiao Zhenzhen embroiders a purse?

You haven't shown off your wallet since you were a child!

When Xie Yunchu walked in, Xiao Zhenzhen had already heard the voice. After seeing Xie Yunchu, she called out, "Brother Yunchu."

Xie Yunchu walked over and sat down opposite her. "Where is the purse? Is it for your father?"

Xiao Zhenzhen: “…”

She shook her head. “No.”

"Oh, so that's for your mother to show? This color is quite suitable for her."

Xiao Zhenzhen: “…”

"No, no, don't ask me, brother Yunchu. I'm just showing off myself for fun."

"Oh? Just play by yourself. You can't go to Zhou Yiqing later, right?"

"you--"

Xiao Zhenzhen screamed "Ah!" and pierced her hand, blood oozing out all at once.

Ying'er was startled and quickly took out a handkerchief, "Miss, are you okay?"

Will it be okay?

It hurts her so much.

Xiao Zhenzhen let Ying'er wipe the blood off her face. After a while, the blood stopped flowing. Then she looked at Xie Yunchu and asked, "What is Brother Xie doing? Are you teasing me on purpose?"

Xie Yunchu must have known something, otherwise why would he mention Zhou Yiqing for no reason?

Xie Yunchu smiled slightly, "I'm not teasing you."

"Hmph, be careful or I'll write a letter to tell my sister about you."

"How can a letter be as authentic as personally complaining to A-Yao?"

personally--

Xiao Zhenzhen threw away the needle and thread, "Ying'er, you do it!" She just doesn't have that talent!

Thinking that Zhou Yiqing, Xie Yunchu, and Brother Chen will all be returning to the capital tomorrow, I feel like a ghost is clawing at my heart.

"You should also come back to the capital with us." Xie Yunchu said bluntly.

"what?"

"How can that be possible?" Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, "I still have to accompany my father and mother on a journey."

"Have you been happy since your trip?"

"Of course I'm happy."

"Is it because Zhou Yiqing is happy with you, or are you happy even if he's not around?"

Xiao Zhenzhen: “…”

Xie Yunchu said: "Father, mother, they are fulfilling the promise they made when they were young. Even without you and Zhou Yiqing, they will still go wandering."

Xiao Zhenzhen lowered her head.

Xie Yunchu continued: "No matter what choice you make, Father and Mother will not blame you."

Xiao Zhenzhen was stunned. Who knows?

Besides, she was really worried about her father and mother!

"My father and mother also mean the same thing. If you want to continue your journey, they will naturally be happy, but if you want to return to the capital, they will also be happy for you."

"But--"

"In the entire team, apart from Ying'er and Zhou Yiqing, you don't even have a peer to talk to. Father and mother can't bear it. It's really what father and mother wanted."

"I—but I am really worried about my father and mother. My sister is in the capital, and my brother will also be in the capital. If I go back to the capital, will they feel lonely?"

Xie Yunchu laughed, "If a few years pass, I'm afraid Father and Mother will want to have children and grandchildren around them, but now, they shouldn't feel lonely."

"Father and mother are just older than us. How is the love that father has for mother different from that of me, A-Yao, you and Zhou Yiqing?"

Xiao Zhenzhen only heard him say that her love with Zhou Yiqing...

He suddenly blushed.

How come Xie Yunchu said it so directly, and he knew so well that she and Zhou Yiqing were together?

What about the Emperor and the Queen?

Does the emperor also know about this?

Thinking about it, Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Xie Yunchu, "I, Zhou Yiqing and I..." They didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?

Do they know about Zhou Yiqing climbing through the window?
