Chapter 519 Meeting Ma Xiyue Again

Yu Xiaolian was a little depressed when she first arrived in the prosperous Yangzhou but couldn't go out for a walk.

It's not because the child is holding her back, but because Cao Guangqiao hired a murderer and the matter is not settled, she will have to live in the house for a day.

I hope Jingcheng’s reply will be faster!

What Yu Xiaolian didn't expect was that there was no reply from the capital, but an invitation from Crown Prince Cheng.

To be precise, it was an invitation from the Crown Princess.

The person who sent the invitation was none other than the 'old housekeeper' who guarded the house last time. Because he had chatted with Yu Xiaolian, he could be considered an 'acquaintance'.

Therefore, when Yu Xiaolian inquired about it, the old housekeeper told the truth.

Princess Cheng wanted to set up a Salesian Hall to take in orphans without fathers and mothers, so she asked Yu Xiaolian to go there for no other reason than to get acquainted with this legendary lady.

Yu Xiaolian donated some as appropriate.

Yu Xiaolian had nothing to say. She had just arrived, and she didn't even go out the door. She had to go out and donate money. It was frustrating to think about it.

If the donation is too much, it would seem inappropriate to compare the Crown Princess with her. If the donation is too small, it would seem that she is quite shabby.

According to Yu Xiaolian, she wanted to just pretend to be sick and not go. Anyway, it was a well-known secret that they were intercepted and killed by bandits. Even if she said that she was frightened by the ferocious bandits, it was very reasonable.

Moreover, she did not think that Crown Princess Cheng invited her there purely for the Salesian Church matters. There must be other matters.

It might be the Hongmen Banquet!

Su Jingchen couldn't wait for a reply from the capital, nor did he wait for Cao Guangqiao to take action again, so he couldn't sit still.

He knew that Princess Cheng's invitation might not be as simple as it seemed, but it didn't feel good to have a knife hanging over her head.

Su Jingchen suggested that Yu Xiaolian go to the appointment!

This Prince Cheng did not live in Huizhou, but settled in Yangzhou. This was very suspicious. Su Jingchen did not believe that he did not covet the oil and water from the Lianghuai Salt Farm.

Yu Xiaolian went to the appointment, changed into relatively formal clothes and went to Prince Cheng's Mansion. In addition to the two maids Sun Manyue and Fang Cao, there was also a coachman Cao Gen.

As for the gift, she didn't prepare any.

She was not prepared to curry favor with Prince Cheng. She had a hunch that the emperor might be targeting Prince Cheng in disguise by transferring the couple to Yangzhou.

The Emperor's only remaining sibling is King Cheng. If he kills Prince Cheng or King Cheng again in the name of corruption, I'm afraid everyone will stab him in the back and scold him for having no brotherhood.

So, the emperor wants Su Jingchen to persuade Prince Cheng to be more peaceful in the future?

Or maybe someone else couldn't control Chengwang's family here and asked Su Jingchen to guard the salt field?

Isn't it true, after walking around today, I guess you can understand one, two, and three.

It's just that Yu Xiaolian didn't expect that the crown prince's concubine was actually an acquaintance.

The daughter of the former Luocheng County Magistrate——Ma Xiyue.

Since Magistrate Ma died, Ma Jingwen took his family and left Luo City. As for

Where he went, Yu Xiaolian was not interested in asking. The person he thought he would never meet again in this life actually met again.

Moreover, on this occasion!

The thought of giving Ma Xiyue a big gift made Yu Xiaolian feel bad.

This... She didn't know whether Crown Prince Cheng was involved in the salt farm matter, but Ma Xiyue asked her to come, it was definitely not because she wanted to discuss the salt farm matter.

This man... is her sworn enemy!

She still remembers Ma Xiyue's angry eyes when she defeated Ma Xiyue at Jianyin Academy.

Come on, now that she is a princess and you are the wife of a minister, salutes are a must.

Ma Xiyue sat in the middle, enjoying the happiness brought to her by Yu Xiaolian bowing her head and saluting.

Feng shui is changing, and I never thought that Yu Xiaolian would fall into her territory one day. God help her.

Bowing his head and curtsying was already Yu Xiaolian's bottom line. As for kneeling down and bowing down, Yu Xiaolian couldn't do it.

So what if her man, a third-rank official, became the crown prince of the king? He only had the title of crown prince and no official position. She was so afraid!

Yu Xiaolian bent her knees slightly to salute, and then stood up straight without waiting for Ma Xiyue to say anything like "no salutation".

Even if you don't look at Su Jingchen, she herself is a seventh-grade scholar, and the Crown Princess cannot let him kneel down and bow down. Her kneeling down ceremony can only be given to the emperor of the dynasty.

Yu Xiaolian mentally prepared herself for Ma Xiyue to go berserk.

Unfortunately, she thought a lot about what to say in return, but Ma Xiyue did not embarrass her, but politely showed her a seat.

There has been progress, Yu Xiaolian sighed in her heart, Ma Xiyue is no longer the spoiled and savage county magistrate's daughter she was when she was in Luo City.

Also, her father who was the county magistrate is dead, and she has no support. If she doesn't restrain her temper, she will be a fool.

But, how did Ma Xiyue get involved with Prince Cheng's Mansion? She also became Prince Cheng's daughter-in-law, which is very strange these days.

Not to mention that Magistrate Ma is dead, even if he is not dead, he is not qualified to be the in-law of King Cheng!

Is it because of love?

Thousands of possibilities flashed through Yu Xiaolian's mind in an instant.

"Master Yu, I haven't seen you for a few years. How are you?" Ma Xiyue acted like an old acquaintance.

Yu Xiaolian gave a fake smile and said, "Everything is fine with me, how is everything with the Crown Princess?"

Ma Xiyue showed a wry smile, "I...that's all it is!"

Yu Xiaolian raised her eyebrows, Ma Xiyue was in a high position now, so she shouldn't show her unsatisfactory life in front of her.

"After my father passed away, my mother took my brother and me to my maternal grandfather's house in Yangzhou. It felt like living under someone else's roof...it was uncomfortable!" Ma Xiyue looked like she was reminiscing with an old friend.

"However, no matter how hard it was, it is now better. I guess I still have some blessings in my life, don't you think so, Mr. Yu?"

Yu Xiaolian wasn't sure what Ma Xiyue meant, but she didn't dare to do anything to her. "Of course the Crown Princess is a lucky person!"

"I heard that Mr. Yu married Su Jingchen? When I was in Luo City, I could tell that your relationship was unusual. I didn't expect that my vision was quite accurate." Ma Xiyue covered her lips and smiled.

"Yes, now we have a child, the child is only six months old, and I can't leave her for too long.

But the Crown Princess invited me to talk about the Salesian Hall, and I have to come. I wonder how I can help with the Salesian Hall?" Yu Xiaolian said calmly.

Seeing that Yu Xiaolian was in a hurry to leave, Ma Xiyue was secretly proud of herself.

Humph, you must be afraid!

Now that I have called you, I have no intention of letting you go easily!

"Master Yu, don't worry, it's easy to talk about the Salesian Hall. We just need to raise some money."

I have a confusing account in my hand. The gentleman in the house has been calculating it for many days, but he still can’t figure it out. As we all know, Master Yu is a genius in mathematics. I would like to ask Master Yu to help me, so that I can tell this bad account.

Everyone!" Ma Xiyue said, and asked someone to bring over two stacks of thick account books.
