However, Ye Mei knew that if she did not agree and really went against the Emperor, then the Ruan family would definitely be implicated. It didn't matter what happened to her, but if anything happened to the Ruan family, Ye Mei would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life. Thinking about it, the best solution now was to choose to compromise.
Murong Yue wasn't some scoundrel or scum. Moreover, Ye Mei's first time was also given to him. With this connection, he did not feel so wronged.
For Ye Mei, the Ruan family was always the top priority. It didn't matter if she suffered a little. As long as the Ruan family was fine, she had no regrets.
"Did the emperor say when the wedding will be held?" Ye Mei asked.
Long Moqing looked at her worriedly." The eighth of next month.”
"I understand." Ye Mei nodded, but his face was calm. He looked at the two of them and paused before continuing,""I'm tired. I want to rest."
Long Moqing and Long Mocheng looked at each other." Then you should rest. I don't think the general will be coming back today."”
Then, Long Moqing seemed to have thought of something and took out a set of women's clothes from the table and put it in Ye Mei's hands," Now that your identity has been exposed, you have nothing to hide. You can change into this dress."”
Seeing that the concern in his eyes wasn't fake at all, Ye Mei took the clothes and thanked him. Hearing this, the two of them left.
She was the only one left in the empty tent. She lowered her head and looked at the woman's dress in her hand, and an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
"You actually have such a day." She muttered to herself with a hint of mockery in her tone.
Shaking his head, he slowly walked to the resting place, took off his men's clothes and changed into the clothes that Long Moqing had specially prepared.
The red tassels paired with the white gauze dress made her look like a fairy from afar. But unfortunately, Ye Mei did not know how to comb those complicated hair accessories and only used a wooden hairpin to coil it up casually. She fetched a basin of water to wash away the black stuff on her face. In an instant, a national beauty appeared.
Ye Mei was certain that if she went out like this, she would definitely be able to charm that group of soldiers until they were head over heels for her. As for her silly brother Li San, he definitely wouldn't recognize her. As for her precious Little Black, Ye Mei wasn't sure if it could be recognized.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became interested in meeting Blackie. At this time, the military camp was training, so other than patrolling, no other soldiers passed by.
Sneaking out of his head, Ye Mei made sure that there was no one outside the commander's tent. He hurried out and ran to the stable as fast as he could, only to see Little Black standing there leisurely.
Ye Mei greeted it in a friendly manner, and it was only then that Little Black noticed that there was someone beside him. Seeing that it was Ye Mei, it instantly perked up and neighed happily, rubbing against her body affectionately.
As expected, Ye Mei felt that his Little Black was still the best.
Not far away, Long Mo and Cheng Mo Qing were hiding behind the tent. Their eyes fell on Ye Mei, who was being intimate with Little Black in the stable.
"I told you, you're worrying too much." Long Mocheng said faintly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Long Mo Qing reluctantly looked away from Ye Mei and smiled gently," Let's go."”
he said. The moment he turned around, his heart suddenly stopped. As expected, in the end, he still let others get there first. From now on, he would never have the chance to obtain Ye Mei.
Unfortunately, Ye Mei didn't know what Long Moqing was thinking. She only cared about teasing her Little Black and after a long time, she felt tired and went back to the tent to rest.
Looking at her, she was as calm as if nothing had happened.
Murong Yue didn't return for the night as Long Moqing had said. He only returned late the next morning and the news of the marriage spread throughout the military camp overnight. The generals who had submitted the report said that they had made a mistake. The development of the matter had completely deviated from the path they had expected.
There were also many different opinions on Ye Mei's true identity. Many people guessed that she was a wild girl without a family background. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just taking in concubines.
The one who was the most shocked was Li San. He had the best relationship with Ye Mei, but he never knew that his brother was a girl.
When he heard the news, he immediately ran to look for Ye Mei. However, when his gaze fell on her smiling face, he was immediately stunned on the spot.
Ye Mei only found it funny. He covered his face and laughed before walking over to pat Li San's shoulder like a brother." What's wrong? Are you stupid?”
"No, no." Li San immediately woke up and shook his head repeatedly. His eyes landed on Ye Mei and he immediately shifted his gaze away in embarrassment. Two red patches appeared on his tanned face.
Ye Mei shook his head with a smile and used the tone he used to talk to him,""Have you never seen a woman before? No matter what, we're brothers. Is there a need to be so reserved?”
Hearing her like this, Li San couldn't be pretentious anymore. He grinned foolishly." I've never seen such a beautiful woman like you."”
His words were not frivolous at all. On the contrary, it made people feel very comfortable.
"When did you become so sweet?”Ye Mei naturally didn't feel that it was inappropriate for someone to praise him. He nodded his head in satisfaction and looked at him with admiration.
Li San reached out and scratched his head, revealing his signature smile again. There was a bunch of words in her stomach, but now that she saw Ye Meizhen, she didn't know where to start.
"Ahem." A voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
Ye Mei and Li San quickly turned around, only to see Murong Yue looking at the two of them with a cold face. His eyes fell on Ye Mei's hand on his shoulder, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Immediately, he turned his displeased gaze to her face. The words that he wanted to say were instantly choked in his throat.
Ye Mei curiously stretched out his hand to touch his face but did not discover anything unusual. Only then did she react and Murong Yue was stunned.
Murong Yue glared at him and mimicked his dry cough. Only then did Murong Yue come back to his senses.
He calmly smiled at the two of them, as if his loss of composure just now did not affect him much. Originally, Murong Yue admired Ye Mei's talent. He thought that Ye Mei was just that dark looking, but he didn't expect that after changing into a girl's outfit, she would have such a huge change.
In particular, that pair of eyes gave him a faint sense of familiarity. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before, but Murong Yue just couldn't remember.
"You're back." Seeing that he did not speak, Ye Mei had no choice but to break the awkwardness in front of him. He seemed to be very embarrassed.
Li San tactfully retreated and left the space to the two of them.
Murong Yue nodded his head. After a long while, he calmed down the rapid beating of his heart.
She walked to the chair and sat down as if nothing had happened." You knew?”he asked uncertainly.
Ye Mei nodded, but his eyes were calm.
"Do you agree?" He was obviously a little nervous when he said this. However, if Ye Mei didn't agree, he definitely wouldn't force him.
Ye Mei smiled and sat beside him. He turned his head to look at him." Do I have a choice?”
These words were rather sarcastic, but they were also the truth.
Murong Yue's eyes dimmed and he fell silent. She was right. Since things had developed to this point, there was no longer any room for choice.
However, compromise was not everyone's intention.
"Don't make things difficult for me. I've already agreed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have changed into this dress.”Ye Mei smiled nonchalantly. It really didn't seem like much.
Hearing her say this, Murong Yue's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"It's just a temporary measure. As long as my mother is fine, I'm willing to do anything.”She added faintly. Ye Mei's words sounded somewhat sorrowful.
"Haha." Murong Yue laughed dryly," Since you agree, then we will return to the manor first. I will marry you on the eighth of next month."”
Ye Mei's expression changed immediately when he heard that she was to return to the Marquis 'Residence. He turned his head and looked at him coldly." I'm not going back."”She had no intention of going back to that deformed place after she escaped.
Murong Yue looked at her dotingly and smiled gently. He comforted her,"Listen to me. This is a matter of the royal family's reputation. We can't possibly let you get married in the military camp. Moreover, your marriage is such a big matter, so you have to tell your mother first. Moreover, your surname is Ye. No matter how much you dislike the Marquis 'Residence, you still have the same blood as Ye Tianyun.”
Hearing him say this, Ye Mei also fell into hesitation. She was a little worried about letting Mrs. Ruan live alone in the thatched cottage. Although marrying Murong Yue was a temporary measure, she couldn't hide it from her mother. If she went back to the Marquis 'residence, she still had to bring the Ruan family along.
Seeing Ye Mei's expression change, Murong Yue quickly took advantage of the victory to pursue,"Now that Ye Wan's Profound Energy has been crippled, I reckon she has also restrained her temper. If you are still worried, I will let Li San be your bodyguard to protect you.”
Ye Mei lowered his head and muttered to himself. After a moment, he raised his head and nodded reluctantly. "Alright, I will bring my mother back to the constabulary today.”
Anyway, it was almost the eighth day of the lunar new year, so she didn't need to stay in the constabulary for long. Moreover, their identities would also change in the future. Presumably, no one in the Marquis 'Residence would dare to do anything to the mother and daughter.
"The imperial edict has already been issued. I have already informed the constabulary that you will return tomorrow.”He was still a little worried about Ye Mei being alone.
"No need." She shook her head and rejected Murong Yue's good intentions," I will go back to my mother's place in a while and go back with her tomorrow.”
The military camp was busy with matters and Murong Yue did not decline. He only sent Li San and the others to protect Ye Mei along the way. After all, there was a short journey and it would not be good if any accidents happened.
After bidding farewell to the military camp, Ye Mei rode Little Black and quickly headed towards the direction of Wuji Mountain. On the way, she sent Li San and the others back, saying that they were almost there and it was not convenient for a group of men to go.
The silly Li San believed Ye Mei's words without the slightest doubt. The others did not want to come over in the first place, so when they heard what she said, they immediately rode back to the barracks.
As soon as they left, Blackie immediately sped up. In just a moment, Wuji Mountain could be vaguely seen. It was noon, and smoke was rising from the chimney of the straw hut on the side of the mountain.
Ye Mei smiled, his eyes filled with excitement. She had not had the chance to return home since the last time she came back. It had been almost three months, and she wondered how Madame Ruan was doing.
Thinking of this, she suddenly wanted to go home. He reached out and patted Blacky's butt. With the neighing of a warhorse, Blackie immediately increased its speed and ran in the direction of the straw hut.
Mrs. Ruan was preparing lunch in the house. Although she had the money from Ye Mei, her living conditions had not improved. The table was full of vegetables, tofu, and turnips. As for meat, there was not a single bit of it.
After a long sigh, Madame Ruan put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and looked out the door with a vacant gaze. Her eyes were filled with loneliness.
It was no wonder that she would be like this. Living alone in such a deserted place, if it wasn't for a thought, she would have gone crazy from anxiety.
Suddenly, Mrs. Ruan's eyes lit up. She stared at the figure in front of her, who she had been longing for. Then, she revealed an expression of disbelief." Mei…Mei 'er, is that you?"”
She spoke shakily, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Ye Mei stood at the door and nodded heavily. The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for so many days, and she suddenly realized that Ruan shi's hair had a few more silver strands. She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye." Mother, I'm back."”
She spoke, but her tone contained too many unknown emotions.
Madame Ruan seemed to have woken up from a dream. She stood up from her chair, walked to Ye Mei's side, and hugged her tightly in her arms.
"Why did you lose weight again?" Her heart ached as she said this, her hands caressing Ye Mei's hair." How was it? Did anyone bully you there? Is Miss treating you well?"
Hearing her question, Ye Mei fell silent. Now that things had developed to this point, she had to explain things clearly to Madame Ruan.
"Mother, I…"
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Are you hungry? Mother will add a pair of chopsticks for you.”Mrs. Ruan cut her off and looked at Ye Mei with a pained expression. She then pulled her to the table and sat down. She turned around and quickly took out a bowl and chopsticks from the kitchen.
The rice was steaming hot and had a familiar taste. Ye Mei instantly felt his appetite increase and only put down his bowl after eating a few bowls.
Madame Ruan looked at Ye Mei with a smile on her face, her entire body emitting a gentle glow.
"Can you stay for a few days before leaving?”she asked carefully.
Hearing this, Ye Mei's expression suddenly turned heavy. He raised his head and met Ruan shi's eyes. After a long pause, he said,""Mother, I came back this time to bring you back to the Marquis 'Residence.”
Hearing her words, Mrs. Ruan was stunned." What happened?"”
She knew that Ye Mei and the Marquis Manor were like fire and water. If it wasn't for something that had happened, she definitely wouldn't have said these words.
Ye Mei nodded his head and looked at Madame Ruan. He spoke slowly, but the truth was slightly altered by her.
Ye Mei and Murong Yue were in love and because they couldn't leave each other, she disguised herself as a man and went to the military camp with him. However, paper could not hide the fire. Ye Mei's identity was exposed. After the emperor knew, because he loved his son, he reluctantly agreed to let Murong Yue marry her as a concubine.
"That's what happened." she said, but her tone was very unwilling.
Madame Ruan was obviously stunned by her shocking actions. She was shocked for a long time before she calmed down.
"So, you're going to marry Duke Xiang on the eighth of next month?”She asked in a daze, clearly still in disbelief.
Ye Mei nodded and lowered his head as if he had made a mistake." Mother, if you're angry, then hit me. Otherwise, you can scold me."”
Hearing her say this, Madame Ruan felt extremely guilty. She sighed and shook her head."It's all because Mother is useless. You can only be a concubine.”
Naturally, she was happy for her daughter to find a good husband. However, because of her, she could only be a concubine. This Ruan shi's heart was not good either.
"Mother, don't say that. If it wasn't for you, how would I, Ye Mei, still be here?”Hearing Ruan shi's words of self-blame, Ye Mei felt very uncomfortable.
"Mei 'er has grown up." Madame Ruan smiled and nodded. He reached out and touched her head, his eyes filled with tears. She had never thought that Ye Mei would get married so quickly. Moreover, she had found a good family. As a mother, she would be at ease.
"Mother, pack your things. We will return to the Marquis 'Residence tomorrow.”Ye Mei said.
Madame Ruan nodded. She looked at the thatched hut and shook her head with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. However, when she thought about her daughter getting married soon, she understood.
Early the next morning, Ye Mei and Madame Ruan rode Little Black towards the Marquis 'Residence.
Ye Tianyun had already received news yesterday that his seventh daughter had been betrothed to Duke Xiang as a concubine. Amid his bewilderment, he remembered that he had a daughter who was chased out of the house, Ye Mei.
After a few attempts to get close to him, the person who announced the decree told Ye Tianyun the secret. Only then did he suddenly realize that no wonder he felt that the bodyguard beside Murong Yue was very familiar. It turned out to be Ye Mei.
The one who was the angriest was Ye Wan. Ever since her Profound Energy was crippled, her temper had restrained a little but it was still difficult to change her unreasonable temper. Lord Marquis loved his daughter dearly, so he let her be.
Now that she heard that Ye Mei was going to marry Murong Yue, whom she had been longing for a long time, the fire in her heart could no longer be suppressed. She threatened that as long as Ye Mei dared to return, she would not let him have the chance to walk out of the Constabulary alive.
Ye Tian Yun naturally would not allow her to do as she pleased. Now that Ye Mei's identity was no longer the same as before, if they accidentally angered her and made her report to Murong Yue, they would definitely not be able to bear the consequences. Moreover, Ye Mei still had something on Ye Wan. If Ye Mei had not pleaded for mercy that night, Ye Wan might have already passed away.
Therefore, Ye Tianyun thought for a long time and felt that no matter what, he could not offend Ye Mei. Otherwise, he would be the unlucky one.
Ye Mei naturally didn't know that they would consider so much. This time, he was already prepared to fight guerrilla warfare with them.
The capital was as lively and prosperous as ever. The battle ahead did not seem to affect them at all. In the bustling streets, Ye Mei felt the preciousness of life for the first time.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 34PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
