Chapter 11: Yunqi
Yun Juan just returned home, and when she heard such rumors, she naturally couldn't refute the arrangement of Second Mrs. Yun, so if she broke it, she could bear it as long as the person was okay and the environment was almost there.
She stepped into the yard, through the overgrown path, to a roof.
A maid dressed as a maid sat sewing clothes under the porch of the eaves, and beside her sat a little boy of five or six years old.
The boy was dressed in a royal blue cloth, and I don't know if it was because it didn't fit well, or because he was too thin, so it looked wide and funny on his body.
The little hands are shrunk in the sleeves, and the eyes are staring at the boots under the feet in a daze, not knowing what to think?
Yun Juan stood in front of the porch, smiling at the child, this should be her younger brother Yun Qi who she had never met.
When the maid and the boy heard the footsteps, they raised their heads and saw a group of people suddenly coming from the courtyard, and the girl standing at the front was still a girl who looked similar to Mrs. Yun, and they were all stunned.
Second Lady Yun smiled kindly and said, "Yun Qi, this is your sister. ”
The little boy couldn't help but tremble when he heard Second Lady Yun's voice.
Yun Wan frowned, he... Is this a scary?
What kind of harsh treatment did you suffer on weekdays to create such a knee-jerk reaction?
Clenched her fists slightly, and released them after a while, she stepped forward, squatted in front of the boy, and smiled gently: "I'm Yunjuan, this is the jade pendant my father gave me, I heard that my brother also has one." ”
She took out a jade pendant in the shape of a lotus flower and handed it to Yun Qi.
Yun Qi looked at the jade pendant in her hand with wide eyes, and then looked at the jade pendant hanging on her waist, the two jade pendants were exactly the same!
Although he was young, he often heard from his mother that he had an older sister who was recuperating in Qishan, and he also had a jade pendant with the same style as his waist.
The big sister in front of him not only has a jade pendant, but also looks very similar to her mother, she must be his sister in Qishan.
Xu is related by blood, Xu has been alone for too long, his eyes are immediately red, and his eyes are full of tears.
Yun Wan felt sad when he saw him like this, how did such a little child survive in this dilapidated yard during the period when his mother died and his father disappeared?
In the face of the overwhelming rumors of treason in the capital, how scared should he be?
She stretched out her hand, wrapped the little boy into her arms, patted him lightly on the back, and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, my sister is back, and my sister will take care of you in the future." ”
Yun Qi heard this 'wow' and cried out all the fear of this time.
"Sister... Sister—" He couldn't stop crying, only shouting out to his sister repeatedly.
Yun Wan's heart couldn't help but be sad. Regardless of whether her heart is his sister or not, for Yun Qi, she is his closest relative at present.
"First of all, I have wronged you to live here for a while, and then move back when the uncle returns to Beijing and the emperor's doubts are eliminated." A flash of disdain flashed in Mrs. Yun's eyes, interrupting the drama of their sister-brother affection.
"You just came back, settle down first, choose a time to go to the grave of your sister-in-law, I'll go back first."
There was a musty smell in this broken yard, and she didn't want to stay for a moment.
"Second aunt, let's go." Yun Wan let go of Yun Qi and stood up to see off Second Lady Yun.
Second Lady Yun waved her hand and left with a group of subordinates, and when she crossed the courtyard gate, she glanced back at the broken courtyard, and a smug smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
Yun Juan comforted Yun Qi for a while, and the little ghost stopped crying, the maid who was sewing clothes under the porch was called Qingping, and she was Yun Qi's personal maid.
Under Qingping's narration, she realized how hard Yun Qi had been during this time, not only was she driven here, but she also withheld food, only gruel for two meals a day, not to mention that she couldn't eat enough, and was often bullied by the two children of Second Mrs. Yun.
From a noble son who was held in the palm of his hand to be cared for, he became an orphan who dared to bully even his subordinates!
Yun Qi has been weak since he was a child, and Mrs. Yun was sick when she passed away, and the second lady Yun was stunned that she didn't even invite a doctor, or Qingping secretly went to use it as her own jewelry for Yun Qi to catch the medicine, otherwise I really don't know if Yun Qi can hold on until she comes back.
Yun Wan's heart tightened, and she thought about Second Lady Yun's reassurance of the emperor's heart.
"After Madame passed away, the second lady was in charge of the Hou Mansion, and the lady's previous henchmen were either sold or belittled, the slave maid was really worried about the safety of Young Master Qi, if Miss had a way, why don't you take Young Master Qi to another place to avoid it?"
Qingping came to Yunwan for half a day, and when he saw that she was kind, he had the courage to build yì.
