Chapter 465: Liu'e's Heart Knot
Chapter 465: Liu'e's Heart Knot
"Aunt Jing?" Zhou Chang didn't understand why he thought of Aunt Jing.
"Although Aunt Jing has the support of the prince, she can also display her talents. When Aunt Jing stands in front of people, she is a person who can convince others. She manages the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner. If she runs a textile workshop, it will be no problem." Yuan Qi seemed to deliberately lead the topic up, and suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, there is also Liu E. I went out of the city to see her today. She is now well and is also interested in working at Kun Yu Fang."
Zhou Chang had a hunch that Yuan Qi had been laying the groundwork for so long just to say this last sentence.
But she was really surprised: "Why, didn't she say she needed to recover slowly some time ago? How come she can come out to work in just a few days? And if she is well, shouldn't Gao Yuan consider her marriage first? As the saying goes, first get married and then start a career, why does she suddenly want to go to Kun Yu Fang?"
Gao Yuan had just visited Liu E two days ago, but he had not heard that Liu E had changed so much.
Yuan Qi showed hesitation on his face and bit his lower lip lightly, as if he had something to hide.
"What's going on? Can't you tell me?" Zhou Chang knew something was wrong.
Yuan Qi was about to say it, but he was embarrassed: "There is something. If I tell you, I don't know what the prince will think."
"You can say whatever you want. If it's about Liu E, the first thing to do is of course to seek her opinion. Secondly, Gao Yuan has to discuss it with her. In the end, it still depends on your help. No matter what the matter is, what opinion can I have?" Zhou Chang put himself in the right position first.
Yuan Qi still frowned slightly: "That's right, Liu E's injuries have almost healed. But, I heard from Aunt Wang that she must have suffered a great shock at the hands of Peng Liang. Although her body is fine, I don't know what she is thinking. Therefore, I'm afraid her marriage with Gao Yuan will have to be put on hold..."
Zhou Chang clearly heard something else behind her words: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with her? You might as well just tell me."
"According to Aunt Wang, Liu E is now afraid of seeing people and contacting people, especially men..." Yuan Qi finally revealed the truth.
"Afraid of meeting men? Does Gao Yuan know about this?" Zhou Chang had never heard Gao Yuan say this before.
Of course, given Gao Yuan's character, he would not easily tell anyone about such things.
Yuan Qi nodded, and then said, "Based on my observation and Aunt Wang's statement, the few times Gao Yuan went there, the two of them just sat and talked to each other. Gao Yuan was always very well behaved, and Liu E didn't react much. However, firstly, Liu E was seriously injured, and secondly, even if Liu E was able to get up and walk later, she could still face Gao Yuan reluctantly. But after Gao Yuan left, she was sad in private, which is another matter."
"Didn't Gao Yuan notice?" Zhou Chang couldn't help but frown. How would Gao Yuan feel if he knew?
Yuan Qi also sighed: "Alas, Aunt Wang mentioned that she had tried to test Liu E, and she mentioned the matter of marrying Gao Yuan intentionally or unintentionally. Liu E has been avoiding it. I am afraid that she has left a knot in Peng Liang's heart, which is difficult to resolve in a short time."
"There's no need to mention this matter to Gao Yuan for now." Although Zhou Chang did not expect this, he also understood Liu E.
Yuan Qi nodded in agreement: "Today, Liu E met me and asked to follow me to do things. This is a good thing."
"Oh? Won't it cause you any trouble?" Zhou Chang was concerned about Liu E's sensitive current identity and it was not appropriate for her to show up.
Yuan Qi had already made a plan: "If the prince is concerned about the relationship between Liu E and Yao Yue Fang, I have also thought about it. But we can ask Manager Qian to find a way to solve this matter privately. At most, he can give some silver, or even no silver. After all, this matter also involves the Minister of War's Mansion, and no one wants to cause trouble."
Zhou Chang was concerned about this relationship, but he was more concerned about Peng Liang.
Yuan Qi also understood and continued, "As for the Minister of War's Mansion, I have also thought about it. It is not a good idea for Liu E to hide like this all the time. It is better to make up a reason for her to be lost and found and let her reveal it to the public. In this way, Peng Liang will not be able to do anything in public. As for privately, I have to ask the prince for protection."
"Then you are not entrusting me. With Gao Yuan here, you are worried that Liu E will not be protected." Zhou Chang also thought it made sense. She didn't expect Yuan Qi to be more courageous than her.
Yuan Qi was relieved to get the approval. "Finally, it's about Liu E and Gao Yuan. I told the prince about Liu E's condition just now. Why not let Liu E recover from her injuries first? After she recovers, she can go to Kun Yu Fang to do some work and meet more people. When her heart knot is resolved, it won't be too late to discuss marriage with Gao Yuan. By that time, the rumors about this matter should have passed, and everything will be easy to deal with."
"That's great, but it's just that you have to worry about more things. I'm really bothering you." Zhou Chang felt really bad. He stood up and bowed to Yuan Qi, "Thank you very much, sincerely."
Once upon a time, she lived in the same cabin with Liu E and Yang Jiao. Later, Yang Jiao died in an unjust imprisonment, and there was little Liu E could do for her. This thank you was the only way she could express her gratitude.
Yuan Qi didn't care, thinking that Prince Yi was doing it for Gao Yuan, and smiled calmly: "If anyone wants to thank someone, Gao Yuan should be the one to thank. What is your Highness thanking? Your Highness, have you forgotten what the original purpose of 'Kun Yu Fang' was? What's more, Liu E was originally considered half a member of the Yuan family. If I go there today, she will know who I am and call me Young Master all the time. How can I not help her?"
"Yes, on the day of Gao Yuan and Liu E's wedding, I will ask them to toast you with three cups of wine first." Zhou Chang had no way to explain and could only let Yuan Qi continue to misunderstand.
"Three big cups? I can't handle the alcohol..." Yuan Qi smiled and was about to make a joke, but then he thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival night and stopped talking.
Zhou Chang thought of it almost at the same time, but the two of them had a tacit understanding afterwards, just pretending it didn't happen and never mentioned it again, so it was the same now: "By the way, what delicious food did your small kitchen make tonight? I'll go eat with you now."
"Your Highness, just tell me what you want to eat." Yuan Qi then stood up and regained his calm and gentle smile.
Zhou Chang came out from behind the desk and walked towards the bedroom in the back hall with Yuan Qi.
In the end, only time can give the best answers to many problems in this world.
I hope Liu E can recover over time and marry Gao Yuan.
Prince Yi and Yuan Qi also need the test of time.
Zhou Chang doesn’t want to think about what the end of the fake marriage is, but in the end, the best ending is for everyone to return to their own place and get what they deserve.
