Chapter 342 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 46
Liu Yun and Yu Yao smiled at each other and walked into the house together.

The interior of the house is elegantly and exquisitely decorated. Sunlight shines in through the carved windows, forming patches of mottled light and shadows on the ground.

"Madam, you have worked hard on this journey. If there is anything about this house that you are not satisfied with, please tell me and I will ask someone to adjust it."

Liu Yun glanced at Yu Yao and said with a smile on her lips.

She glanced around the house, a look of satisfaction flashed across her eyes, and she smiled and said, "This house is great, I like it very much, thank you for your trouble."

"What are you talking about, Madam? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to return to the capital."

Liu Yun smiled and sat down in the house, looking at her and said sincerely.

She was truly grateful to the lady.

No one knew that Liu Yun was a divorced woman. Her husband had a woman outside and not only brought her home, but also demoted her to a concubine. Her mother-in-law also despised her because she was a hen that didn't lay eggs, so she bullied and harassed her as much as she could, and even fanned the flames.

Liu Yun couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked to leave the family and gave up her position as the legal wife to that woman.

Afterwards, she resolutely left the capital and returned to her hometown in Lianhua County. She wanted to start over, but she met the lady, who gave her the opportunity to return to the capital.

Liu Yun felt particularly happy whenever she thought of the shocked expressions on her ex-husband's family.

Especially her ex-mother-in-law and the woman who took her place. When they saw her preparing to open a shop, they thought the shop was hers and their eyes turned red with jealousy.

People spread bad things about her everywhere, saying that she was having an affair with a strange man, otherwise how would she get the money to open the shop.

Whenever Liu Yun thought of those two people, she felt upset.

Yu Yao didn't know about Liu Yun and had never asked about it. When she heard her words, she just smiled.

Then, sitting opposite her, the two began to chat.

Aunt Zhou brought the tea at the right time, placed it in front of the two of them, and then left with a smile.

Liu Yun naturally picked up the teacup and took a sip, then gently put it down and asked naturally, "Madam, are you planning to settle down in the capital this time?"

"Well, come to the capital to have a look."

She was actually a little confused about this question, not knowing what would happen in the capital city in the future.

If you are happy living here, you can stay here forever. If you are not happy, you can go back to Lianhua County. Anything is fine.

Liu Yun smiled slightly and changed the subject, "Madam, I have booked a private room at Zuixianlou to welcome you. This must be your first time in Beijing, so you should try some of the city's delicacies. Zuixianlou's food is the most authentic."

Yu Yao curled her lips and smiled, but did not postpone it. "Okay, you can arrange it. The money will be kept in the official account."

Liu Yun smiled when she heard this and was about to say something.

Zhou Bo suddenly ran in in a panic and said in a hurried voice, "Madam, there is a situation outside. There are two guards, one claims to be from the Prince of Wei's Palace, and the other says he is from the East Palace. They both claimed to be here to pick you up, but somehow they started fighting."

She frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless.

He sighed softly, then stood up and said to Liu Yun, "You sit here for a while, I'll go out and take a look at the situation."

Liu Yun was slightly startled, then frowned.

The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the King of Wei’s men?
When did Madam know the Crown Prince and the King of Wei? As soon as she appeared in the capital, both sides sent people to pick her up.

She was curious, so she went out to see what was going on.

Zhou Bo also followed behind.

When the three men arrived at the gate of the house, they saw two guards fighting fiercely, with fists and feet flying everywhere and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard continuously.

It is obvious that both sides are serious about this.

Yu Yao's face darkened and she shouted, "Stop!"

Although the sound is not loud, it is clear and powerful.

The two people who were fighting instantly stopped and looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

She frowned and walked forward, looking at the two uninvited guests, and said helplessly: "You two, what's the matter? Why are you fighting in front of my house?"

The guards of the Prince of Wei's palace saw her and answered first: "Madam, I came here to greet you on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. But the guards of the Eastern Palace insisted on obstructing us and spoke rudely. I was so angry that I took action."

The guards of the Eastern Palace were not to be outdone and argued, "Madam, I am also here under the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The guards of the Prince of Wei's Palace are so arrogant and unreasonable that they insist on getting ahead of me. How can I just sit there and watch?"

His eyes were full of anger.

After hearing this, Yu Yao felt even more helpless. If he came to pick her up, he would have come to pick her up. But they bumped into each other and started fighting. What kind of thing was this?

Now Xuan Ji must know about her and Dugu Ye, and she doesn’t know what to think.

She rubbed her brows with a headache. No matter who she went to, the other person would be angry and sad.

She pondered for a moment, then said, "I appreciate your kindness. I have just arrived in the capital after a long journey, and I am really exhausted. I don't want to go anywhere today. Please go back and report."

After saying this, he turned around and walked into the mansion without caring about the expressions of the two guards.

Liu Yun's beautiful eyes flickered between the two guards, a look of deep thought on her face.

But he was tactful enough not to ask any more questions and just turned around and followed him in.

Zhou Bo followed closely behind.

The two guards were left outside the door, looking at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Then they glared at each other, left and went back to report.

The night is as dark as ink. In the East Palace, in the study, the candlelight flickers, and it is quiet and peaceful.

Dugu Ye was leaning on a chair in the study, his legs crossed, his head supported by one hand, his eyes fixed on a certain point, his expression blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, a black-clad guard hurried in, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported: "Your Highness, we have found Madam Yu's residence. It is in the house at 28 Wuyi Lane. It was purchased on her behalf by a woman named Liu Yun."

Dugu Ye came back to his senses instantly, and looked at the guard with a wicked smile on his face, "Who is Liu Yun? She seems to have a close relationship with him?"

He was extremely interested in everything about Yaoer and couldn't help asking.

"Liu Yun was originally the wife of the Zhou family. Her husband demoted her to a concubine. In addition, she had been unable to bear children and suffered a lot of hardships, so she asked to leave the family. Later, she left the capital and went to Lianhua County, where she met Madam Yu and became the shopkeeper of Madam Yu's shop."

The guard paused and continued, "Because the shop is doing well, Madam Yu asked Liu Yun to come to the capital to open a branch. Madam Yu is coming here because the branch is about to open."

Dugu Ye nodded slightly, understanding.

He wondered why Yao'er came to Beijing suddenly, and it turned out to be like this.

As long as it's not for Xuan Ji, any reason is fine.

Dugu Ye was in a much better mood. "Didn't I tell you to bring the person back to the East Palace after you find him? Where is he?"

The guard's face was slightly stiff, and he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Dugu Ye's face darkened, "What's going on? Tell the truth."

The guard didn't dare to hide it, so he told the truth that when he went to Yu Yao's residence, he happened to meet the King of Wei who was also inviting people.

"Madam Yu came out to stop us. After hearing the purpose of our visit, she said she was tired from the journey and needed to rest. She didn't want to go anywhere."

The guard said again respectfully.

Dugu Ye heard this and smiled playfully, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which were filled with coldness. "Oh? The King of Wei's men also went there? It turns out that this sixth brother of mine who has been recognized by me really cares about my Yao'er."

After saying this, he waved his hand and asked the guard to retreat.

He walked to the window, looked at the dim lights outside, curled his lips and whispered, "Yao'er, since you won't come, I'll have to go find you myself.

Afterwards, he changed into casual clothes, left the East Palace in a flash, and went straight to a house in Wuyi Lane.

Xuan Ji also went to Wuyi Lane.

After he heard that the Eastern Palace was also hiring someone, he confirmed that the Uncle Ye mentioned by An An and You You was the prince.

The widow that Dugu Ye was willing to give up his position as crown prince to marry was Yao'er.

When he learned the truth, he would be lying if he said he was not jealous. He struggled and hesitated, and even thought about helping the two of them get together.

But as long as he thought that if he really drew a line between himself and Yao'er, and Yao'er really married Dugu Ye, wouldn't An'an and Youyou have to call Dugu Ye father?
Xuan Ji couldn't bear the thought of his child calling someone else dad.

All the aloofness and self-respect were thrown away in the country of Gua.

It is impossible to give up unless you step over his dead body.

The two of them went to Wuyi Lane at the same time.
