Xiao Ziyun also felt that this courtyard was very interesting, so she kept looking around.

Just came to the main courtyard.

Xiao Ziyu saw a woman who looked no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, standing at the door, holding a seven or eight-year-old boy on the left, and a slim girl standing on the right, the girl looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

When she got closer, Xiao Ziyu saw the woman's appearance clearly, her appearance was very good, and her appearance could not be said to be a country and a city, but she looked very charming.

It made Xiao Ziyu think of Chu Qian inexplicably.

Chu Qian looks so charming, this woman is more delicate than Chu Qian's appearance, and the whole person also seems to have some connotation, tall and slender.

Standing there, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

The boy she was holding on her left hand was dressed very neatly, and looking at his face, he was seventy or eighty percent similar to Xiao Qinghe, almost no doubt when he looked at his face, this was definitely Xiao Qinghe's son.

Probably because of the brothers, Xiao Ziyu looked at this boy and looked a little like Xiao Jingchen.

The girl standing on her right is not short, her body is slender, and her appearance is seven or eight points similar to that of a woman, that is, between her eyebrows and eyes, she looks like Xiao Qinghe, her chin is slightly raised, with a little arrogance.

Xiao Ziyu looked at the mother and son, and for a while, she felt that she had mixed tastes, and she didn't know what to say.

She is actually still a little unacceptable, her father really has an outer room and illegitimate children.

But this is also an ironclad fact, the girl and boy in front of him are undoubtedly born to their father.

Xiao Ziyu couldn't escape.

This fact can only be clearly recognized.

"The concubine asked a few nobles to say goodbye. The woman bowed slightly and said slowly, her voice was very pleasant.

Xiao Ziyu kept looking at the woman in front of her, she didn't speak, Xiao Jingchen didn't speak, Xiao Jingsheng and Xiao Ziyun couldn't speak, the two of them also understood better, knowing this kind of thing, they should look at Xiao Ziyu's face and act, after all, they are inexperienced.

Xiao Ziyu didn't speak, everyone didn't speak, and they all remained silent.

Xiao Ziyu actually wanted to see the woman's reaction and test her patience.

Sure enough, the woman did not look very anxious, but said to the boy and girl, "Come here, I have seen your brothers and sisters." ”

The boy was very obedient, his eyes were dark and bright, and he stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Say hello to my brother and sister." ”

As he spoke, he leaned down and made a standard salute.

Xiao Ziyu smiled, this woman is very smart and knows how to use young children to break this embarrassment.

"No need to be polite. "Maybe it's really a blood relationship, Xiao Ziyu feels very sorry for the child in front of her, and doesn't want to bring great harm to the child.

However, the girl's expression was a little disdainful, and she didn't speak, just stood in place.

The woman's expression was a little embarrassed, "Sister Xiu, please say hello to your brothers and sisters." ”

Xiao Zixiu swallowed slowly and made a casual salute.

Xiao Ziyu hooked the corners of her lips slightly, it seems that this Xiao Zixiu is also spoiled and has not learned her mother's wisdom and wisdom.

"Don't stand, come in and sit, the humble house is shabby, don't be weird. The woman's nice voice sounded faintly.

Then let Xiao Ziyu and a few people come in.

Xiao Ziyu followed the woman into the main courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Ziyun was fascinated by the scenery in the courtyard, it was the season of spring flowers, but this courtyard was also too beautiful.

Although it is not very big, it is full of flowers and trees, all vying to open, and there are many varieties, in the middle of the garden, there is also a rocking chair, and swings, if you sit on it, enjoy the scenery, and then sway, it must feel very good.

Xiao Ziyun couldn't help but want to go over and try this feeling.

Xiao Ziyu also thinks that the environment here is very good, this woman is a woman who is very good at life.

No wonder he has been able to stay with his father for so many years, and he is really powerful.

"A few come in and sit, or sit in the garden, now in the spring, the environment of the garden is also very good, you can also be used as a swing, play, the concubine can make tea, you can also make some pastries for a few people to taste, but the concubine is clumsy, and the food she makes is not on the table, and a few nobles should not dislike it. The woman lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly.

This is also said to be of a very high standard, showing weakness everywhere, but it is impossible to refuse.

Xiao Ziyu couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Just go and sit in the garden. Xiao Ziyu said.

Xiao Ziyun was already a little impatient, and when she heard Xiao Ziyu agree, she immediately passed.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Ziyun and shook her head, this girl is still a little uncontrollable, but there are some things that can make Xiao Ziyun happy, Xiao Ziyu also thinks it's very good.

Xiao Ziyun sat on the swing and swayed gently, which felt really good.

Xiao Ziyu also found a place to sit down.

"What's your name?" Xiao Ziyu looked at the woman's face and asked word by word.

"The concubine's name is Ye Huixin. The woman replied softly.

Xiao Ziyu nodded lightly.

Ye Huixin said with a smile, "The concubine went to make tea for a few people and get snacks." He turned and left.

The boy is not a life, he looked at Xiao Ziyu curiously, smiled faintly, very smart and cute.

Xiao Ziyu couldn't be cold in the face of his younger brother who had the same blood relationship as him.

So also smiled gently.

"Sister, you're so beautiful. ”

"You're sweet-mouthed. Xiao Ziyu scratched the boy's nose.

Xiao Zixiu snorted coldly, her chin still raised high, and she refused to speak.

Xiao Ziyu is too lazy to take care of Xiao Zixiu, with a personality like Xiao Zixiu, sooner or later she will suffer a big loss.

Xiao Ziyu didn't know how Xiao Zixiu was spoiled like this, but she didn't want to know, because this had nothing to do with her.

After a while, Ye Huixin came back, followed by several girls, holding a lot of things.

Ye Huixin, now put the teacups one by one neatly, and then took the teapot to pour the tea, it is obvious that this tea is all brewed in advance.

As soon as the tea was in the teacup, Xiao Ziyu smelled a burst of thoughts, it was the smell of flower petals, but this taste was very sweet, but it was something that Xiao Ziyu had never smelled.

Xiao Ziyun was originally swinging, but she couldn't help but run over, picked up a cup of tea, gently put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and then said, "It smells so fragrant." ”

"If the girl likes it, it's fine. Ye Huixin said with a chuckle.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Ye Huixin, and it was really ingenious.

Ye Huixin poured all the tea, and then brought all the snacks served by the girl.

The dim sum is very delicate and cute, and it looks appetizing.

Xiao Ziyun couldn't help but take one and put it in her mouth, and then exclaimed, "Well, it's delicious." ”

Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Ziyun's expression, and couldn't help but taste one, originally with Xiao Jing'er's craftsmanship in front of her, Xiao Ziyu's mouth was already very tricky, and ordinary food couldn't enter Xiao Ziyu's mouth, but this dim sum made by Ye Huixin was really delicious, comparable to Xiao Jing'er's cooking, each with its own characteristics.

Xiao Ziyu ate one piece, but Xiao Ziyun ate two pieces in succession, and then took a sip of tea.

"Does it taste okay?" Ye Huixin asked.

Xiao Ziyu nodded, "Well, it's good." Xiao Ziyu said lightly.

Ye Huixin continued, "If a few nobles don't dislike it, just stay for dinner, or stay for one night at night, and the concubine will cook herself and prepare some special food for a few people." ”

It was originally a half-day journey from the center of the imperial capital, and they had lunch in a carriage, so they ate some casually, and now if they rush back, it is a little too late.

And when they came over, they also had something to solve, and the matter hadn't started to talk about yet, Xiao Ziyu had also planned it, and she would definitely stay tonight.

"It's better to be respectful. Xiao Ziyu said lightly.

"Actually, we have something to talk to you about, so let the nurse take the child down. Xiao Ziyu said.

Ye Huixin must have guessed early in the morning, if there was no matter, it would be impossible for these people to come directly to the door like this.

In fact, Ye Huixin was very nervous, and she couldn't guess what was going on with these people.

Xiao Jingchen and Xiao Ziyu, she has seen them, and they have secretly observed them in the dark before, as for the other two, looking at their dress, temperament and appearance, they should also be the masters and girls of the Xiao family.

Ye Huixin's observation is very good, looking at these two who should be the third master and the second girl in the second room.

Ye Huixin beckoned to the nurse, and then hugged the boy down.

Ye Huixin said to Xiao Zixiu, "Sister Xiu, you can go down too." ”

Xiao Zixiu hasn't spoken since she came in, but now she said, "No, I'm already an adult, I also want to listen to what you guys talk about, don't try to hide it from me." ”

Xiao Zixiu's attitude was very resolute.

Ye Huixin looked at Xiao Zixiu, a little helpless, to be honest, she really doted on this daughter, but she also knew that this occasion was not very suitable for Xiao Zixiu here, so she said, "Sister Xiu, you are obedient, go down first, okay?"

"No, I can't let anyone bully you. Xiao Zixiu's attitude is so unquestionable.

Xiao Ziyu smiled and said, "If you want to stay, you can stay, it doesn't matter." "Xiao Ziyu really doesn't matter.

She just thought Xiao Zixiu's idea was a little funny, what could she do if she stayed here?

How things should happen, how will they happen, there will be no change because Xiao Zixiu stays here, in fact, Ye Huixin knows this truth, but she just doesn't understand it.

Ye Huixin looked at Xiao Zixiu helplessly, and was silent.

"You sit down too. Xiao Ziyu looked at Ye Huixin and said.

Ye Huixin was a little scared, but seeing that Xiao Ziyu's expression was very sincere, he sat down.

"Third girl, if you have any orders, just say it, as long as the concubine can do it, she will definitely follow your orders. Ye Huixin said respectfully.

Xiao Ziyu smiled and said, "I actually don't have any orders, when you see us coming, you also have some ups and downs in your heart." ”

Ye Huixin smiled reluctantly, "There are some, the identity of the concubine body is not on the stage, but the master has also taken great care of our mother and son over the years, and the concubine body should not be here, if the third girl has an order to let the concubine leave, the concubine body will naturally leave, and the existence of the concubine body is inherently dishonorable." ”

Xiao Ziyu looked at Ye Huixin, it's hard to say whether this is true or not, anyway, the more Ye Huixin says it is so pitiful, the more it will arouse the sympathy of others.

"You and your father were originally together because of a mistake, there are also men who play outside, but you are also very lucky, do you know why?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

Ye Huixin's expression was a little sad, but she still shook her head.

"Because my father is a very responsible man, otherwise, it is likely that he will not be responsible for you, it is the children who have involved you together, all these years, my father has provided for you, so that you have no worries about food and clothing, I think he has nothing to do with you. Xiao Ziyu said, in a light tone.

"That's natural, the master is very good to us, if you can't live it, it's the three of us who drag the master down. Ye Huixin said with a little apology.

"You are very good at talking, but you should also know that since my eldest brother and I already know about this, we will definitely not continue to let you stay in the imperial capital. Xiao Ziyu said straight to the point.

Ye Huixin also expected that this would be the result, she looked up at Xiao Ziyu, a little unsure of what to say, but she also knew in her heart that since Xiao Ziyu and they could find here, it must have been agreed by Xiao Qinghe, if Xiao Qinghe did not agree there, Xiao Ziyu and they were afraid that they would not have the courage to find here.

Ye Huixin was a little sad, she had been following Xiao Qinghe for fourteen years, a full fourteen years.

Fourteen years, she is only seventeen years old, the age of a flower, she is actually the daughter of a good family, although her father is only a minor official and is not well-known.

However, she was sent to Xiao Qinghe's bed, and her father wanted to climb up, so he sold his daughter, and she was miserable.

But I didn't expect a night of joy to make her pregnant, she was also an ignorant girl at the time, and she didn't think about the follow-up, in fact, if Xiao Qinghe was not responsible, her fate would be to take the child, and then continue to live this kind of life of being sent back and forth.

Those kinds of days may be really dark.

She may choose a white silk to end her life.

With the attitude of trying it out, she found Xiao Qinghe and told Xiao Qinghe about it.

In fact, at that time, Xiao Qinghe had no impression of her, but he still vaguely remembered her.

Xiao Qinghe also drank some wine that night, and he can't remember her appearance clearly, but he still remembers such a thing.

Xiao Qinghe thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered, and then said, "Are you sure, this child is mine?"

Ye Huixin felt very uncomfortable when she heard such words, but she only had Xiao Qinghe such a man, and she was completely sealed that night.

Ye Huixin bit her lip and nodded heavily.

Xiao Qinghe said, "You can't afford to deceive the official, I don't think you have the guts, you go back, tomorrow the official will find your father, you just follow the official." Xiao Qinghe said directly.

When Ye Huixin heard this, he had a backbone, and then went back happily.

Xiao Qinghe's speed was really fast, and he found Ye Huixin's father the next day and explained his intention.

When Ye Huixin's father heard this, he was naturally very happy, his daughter could climb up to Xiao Qinghe, this is a great thing, not to mention being an outer room, as long as Xiao Qinghe said a word, let alone a daughter, even his wife had to give it up.

Ye Huixin followed Xiao Qinghe like this, and Ye Huixin was already more than two months pregnant at that time.

More than seven months later, she gave birth to Xiao Zixiu.

When Xiao Zixiu was born, she looked very much like Xiao Qinghe, and this face was the most effective and direct evidence.

Later, although he became more and more like Ye Huixin, in general, he was still somewhat similar to Xiao Qinghe.

Ye Huixin is also a smart woman, and she is very sensible, very sensible, she never bothers Xiao Qinghe, Xiao Qinghe has not come to see her for a long time, she does not complain, every time she comes, Ye Huixin will make Xiao Qinghe feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Ye Huixin's mother is a clever woman, and Ye Huixin learned a lot of crafts from her.

Among them, the most commonly used are to make tea, cook, and prepare spices.

Ye Huixin is very good at making spices.

Xiao Qinghe has never treated Ye Huixin badly in terms of money, Ye Huixin often buys some spices back, and concocts and refines them by himself.

The efficacy also varies.

For a long time, Xiao Qinghe liked Ye Huixin very much, Ye Huixin's temperament was gentle and petty, and when she was with her, she would make people feel very relaxed and happy.

Drink a cup of her brewed flower tea, accompany the delicate and delicious dishes on the table, and sometimes, order a little spice that loves the Yiren.

She talks to you softly and delicately to relieve your boredom, which is probably the life that all men dream of.

Xiao Qinghe is no exception.

So in those years, Xiao Qinghe also liked to come to Ye Huixin.

Ye Huixin was also pregnant once during her period, but because of one time, Xiao Qinghe came over, Ye Huixin was less than three months pregnant at the time, but she insisted on cooking herself, and accidentally had a miscarriage.

Because of this incident, Xiao Qinghe felt very guilty about Ye Huixin, but Ye Huixin didn't complain a word, but felt that he was too careless, this incident has always made Xiao Qinghe feel very guilty, so in the next few years, he was also very good to Ye Huixin.

Later, Ye Huixin gave birth to another boy.

However, with the passage of time, Xiao Qinghe's feelings for Ye Huixin slowly faded.

It's not really love, it's really like, when we were together, it was also a mistake, and later it was maintained by freshness.

That's it.

But there is also responsibility between them, after all, there are two children.

Xiao Qinghe couldn't ignore Ye Huixin.

Ye Hui calculated in her heart, Xiao Qinghe hadn't touched her for three years, even if she came over, it was just to see the children, eat at most one meal, and sometimes, stay here and don't sleep in the same room with her.

Ye Huixin asked him, Xiao Qinghe's answer surprised her, Xiao Qinghe said, "I plan to live a good life with my wife, although I haven't promised, but I won't touch other women again." ”

These words made Ye Huixin very jealous in her heart, Ye Huixin never thought that Xiao Qinghe would guard a woman like jade.

In her eyes, Xiao Qinghe should be the kind of man who looks down on women, and he shouldn't do anything for a woman to go back.

It has always been a woman's mother's sacrifice for him, and she really doesn't know why Mrs. Xiao is so good.

She knew that Mrs. Xiao was much older than her, and it stands to reason that she had already been a yellow-faced woman, why did Xiao Qinghe wronged herself so much for this woman.

Although Ye Huixin felt uncomfortable, she didn't dare to challenge Xiao Qinghe's authority.

She knew that Xiao Qinghe had always been a person who said the same, and if she disobeyed Xiao Qinghe, it was estimated that Xiao Qinghe would really make her die ugly.

Even now, Ye Huixin also understands that without Xiao Qinghe's permission, Xiao Ziyu and they would not have appeared here to say this.

She, Ye Huixin, and the two children combined, are they so weightless in Xiao Qinghe's heart?

Ye Huixin is really sad.

"Is this what the master meant, let's leave?" Ye Huixin asked while biting her lip.

Xiao Ziyu nodded, "It's my father's meaning, if my father doesn't agree, I won't come here, are you right?" Xiao Ziyu said.

"You lie, my father can't do this to me, my father won't let me leave, you lie. Ye Huixin still opened her mouth to speak, and Xiao Zixiu said loudly.

Xiao Zixiu didn't seem to accept this matter at all, but retorted loudly, "You are all bad people, you are all liars, you didn't let my father come to see me, my father used to love me very much, but my father hasn't come to see me for a long time, why do you treat me like this?" Xiao Zixiu said, crying.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Zixiu and didn't say much, in fact, Xiao Zixiu's appearance was also very distressing, but Xiao Ziyu didn't sympathize with Xiao Zixiu at all.

If Xiao Ziyu sympathizes with Xiao Zixiu, she will inevitably let Mrs. Xiao be hurt, in contrast, Xiao Ziyu still doesn't want to care about Xiao Zixiu.

"Sister Xiu, shut up. Ye Huixin shouted.

Xiao Zixiu didn't expect Ye Huixin to yell at her, she was already very uncomfortable in her heart, Xiao Zixiu couldn't help crying, "Mother, why do you want to do this to me, my father doesn't want us anymore, does he?

"Okay, Sister Xiu, don't cry. Ye Huixin couldn't bear to see her daughter crying like this, so she stepped forward and coaxed.

"Mother, I want to see my father, I really miss my father, my father hasn't come to see me for a long time, why didn't my father come to see me, I really didn't do anything wrong I'm very obedient these days. Xiao Zixiu cried and said.

Xiao Ziyun couldn't stand it anymore.

Xiao Ziyu said lightly, "My father has promised me that I will not see your mother and son in the future." ”

Xiao Ziyu's words are undoubtedly very cruel.

Xiao Zixiu looked at Xiao Ziyu with disbelief on her face, and didn't believe what Xiao Ziyu said at all, "It's impossible, you lied to people, my father couldn't treat us like this, he wouldn't." ”

"This is a fact, this is my agreement with my father, he will not see your mother and son, and let your mother and son leave the imperial capital, and my brother and I are responsible for arranging the birth of your mother and son in the second half of their lives, of course, I will definitely let you have no worries about food and clothing, and I will also tell my sister a good family business, and my brother and I will also take care of it to the end, but the premise is that the three of you mother and son will leave the imperial capital and go to the south. Xiao Ziyu said word by word.

Xiao Ziyun looked at Xiao Ziyu, she really felt that Xiao Ziyu was very cruel, but Xiao Ziyu didn't feel like this, in fact, by now, Xiao Ziyu probably had seen through Ye Huixin's mother and daughter.

She also understood what Ye Huixin's mother and daughter were doing.

Xiao Zixiu's arrogance at the beginning, and now crying are all instigated by Ye Huixin.

In order to play a daughter who is spoiled by Xiao Qinghe.

But Xiao Ziyu knows Xiao Qinghe's temperament very well, if Xiao Zixiu is so ignorant, Xiao Qinghe should not like her.

Just like Xiao Ziqing, isn't it a vivid example?

So Xiao Ziyu didn't bother to take care of the mother and daughter.

The number of their mother and daughter was able to scare Xiao Ziyun, but it was also unexpected.

Sure enough, Xiao Ziyun kept glancing, which meant to let Xiao Ziyu's subordinates show mercy.

Xiao Ziyu was too lazy to deal with Xiao Ziyun, Xiao Ziyun was too simple.

"No way, my father wouldn't have done this to me, no. Xiao Zixiu roared a little broken.

"Then what do you think your father should do to you? You have to figure out your position, you are just an illegitimate daughter born in the outer room, there is no name on the Xiao family tree, including your younger brother, who is not included in the family tree, if you stay in the imperial capital, you will never see the light, if you are obedient and go to live in the south, I guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will live a good life, you can marry a man you like, live a plain life, including your younger brother, you will also receive the best education, and you will also be an official in the future if you have the opportunity, but the premise is that you can never return to the imperial capital!" Xiao Ziyu said.

"No, I don't want to, why should I live like that, why should I leave the imperial capital, I am also the daughter of the Xiao family, I also want to marry the children of the family, you can be the princess, why can I only marry a nobody and live a dull life?" Xiao Zixiu roared angrily.

"Xiao Zixiu, are you crazy?" Ye Hui yelled angrily.

Xiao Ziyu sneered, "What's the matter, can't you finally pretend to?" Xiao Ziyu looked at Ye Huixin's embarrassed look and Xiao Zixiu's somewhat surprised look, and said with a mocking face, "I thought you could hold on for a while, but Xiao Zixiu's city is too shallow, and after just a few words, let me force the truth out." ”

Ye Huixin didn't know how to react for a while.

"Ye Huixin, you also know my current identity, Prince Yu and Princess Yu, even if I don't pass my father, I can still let your mother and son disappear in the imperial capital silently, do you believe it?"

Ye Huixin looked at Xiao Ziyu with some horror, not believing that these words came from Xiao Ziyu's mouth at all, because Xiao Ziyu had always behaved so gently and harmlessly.

"What, are you afraid? Let me tell you clearly, what is your idea, I know, you just want to take the child into the door of the Xiao family, but this is impossible, my father didn't mean this at all, I came today, it was really my father's meaning, and not a word I said just now is false, if your mother and son are interested, I will let the third brother take good care of you in the south, if your mother and daughter are still delusional to ask for things that do not belong to you, then I'm sorry, I may really be unkind to you. Xiao Ziyu said lightly.

Xiao Zixiu looked at Xiao Ziyu angrily, "Why do you treat me like this, I am also a girl of the Xiao family, why can't I live a prosperous and rich life, why?"

"Why do you say, you are just an illegitimate daughter born in the outer room, not even a concubine, the most important thing in the entire imperial capital is that the door is right, and people with a little rules will not want you, do you plan to be a concubine? Let me tell you, there is no one in the Xiao family to be a concubine. Xiao Ziyu said coldly.

"Isn't that big girl a side concubine?" Xiao Zixiu retorted.

"That's enough, Xiao Zixiu, if you weren't my sister, just by what you said, I would cut out your tongue, do you believe it?" Xiao Ziyu squinted at Xiao Zixiu, and the little cold light in her eyes was enough to freeze people.
