Chapter 12: The Mansion of the Marquis of Chiyang
In recent days, the Chiyang Hou Mansion has been full of joy. The emperor gave him a random gift, and he really sent his own daughter back. Although it is humiliating to be pregnant before getting married, this has no impact on the Chiyang Hou couple who have recovered their daughter who has been missing for ten years.
Before Yu Yaoxue, Mrs. Chiyang Hou actually had a child, a boy, but he died in less than a month, and no one mentioned it for many years. Therefore, for Yu Yaoxue, the lost and recovered daughter, the husband and wife are very fond of each other.
"Cher, what are you doing?" In the past few days, Mrs. Chiyang Hou has come to Baixue Pavilion every day, as if she is afraid that her lost daughter will be gone.
"Mother." Yu Yaoxue put down the pipa in her hand and greeted her, with a little smile on her face.
Mrs. Yu took Yu Yaoxue's hand and walked back, pulling Yu Yaoxue to sit down. "It's been hard for Cher all these years."
"What did my mother say, Xue'er is not bitter." Yu Yaoxue's eyes fell on the pipa, and she smiled as if she remembered something, "Although the master is strict, he is very good to Xue'er, so my mother doesn't have to mind." ”
Mrs. Yu held Yu Yaoxue's hand tightly, sighed and said: "If it weren't for the soft-heartedness of my mother back then, I wouldn't have let you get lost in the Lantern Festival, but you were only six years old at the time, I'm afraid you would be frightened." ”
Yu Yaoxue paused, her smile became a little reluctant, and she let go of Mrs. Yu's hand and said, "Daughter, play the pipa to your mother, and see if your daughter can learn well over the years." ”
Mrs. Yu clenched her palms and looked at Yu Yaoxue lovingly, nodding.
In the Orchid Pavilion, which is separated from the White Snow Pavilion by a few corridors, it is just the opposite of the atmosphere of the White Snow Pavilion.
"Yu Yaoxue did such an insulting thing, her mother really lifted her, and she just went to visit every day, and the gifts sent to the house in the past few days were all sent to Baixue Pavilion with good ones, but I didn't think about it at all!" Yulanxue, who was born in the concubine's room, put a cup of tea on the table, and there was obvious jealousy on her beautiful face.
"Miss is angry, the noble girl raised in the building is not as good as the girl who really came out of Tang Tang in the Hou Mansion, not to mention that kind of thing, after all, she is shallow-eyed, no matter how much Madame spoils her, when it comes to the big scene, she can't compare to you, Miss." The maid Jade withdrew the tea and replaced it with pastries, and said flatteringly.
Yulanxue thought about it, and the anger in her stomach disappeared a little. Listening to the sound of the pipa in his ears, he sneered: "Those who lean on the building and laugh don't know how to restrain themselves in the Hou Mansion!" ”
"Miss, Aunt Zhao is here." Aunt Zhao is Yulanxue's biological mother. also gave birth to a son, eighteen years old, and two more years and Lu, if nothing else, the position of Hou Ye's son is his. The future is bright, and it is no wonder that Yulan Xue is so arrogant.
"Lan'er." Aunt Zhao walked in with a smile on her face, now that she is a son, she is also rising, even if Yu Yaoxue comes back, it will not affect the position of the prince, she is relieved.
"Why is my aunt here?" Yulanxue waved away the maid and welcomed Aunt Zhao in.
"I'll come to see you when I'm free." Aunt Zhao sat down, the more she looked at Yulanxue, the more she liked it, her pair of children made her worry more than one by one, not to mention her son Yujiao, her daughter Yulanxue was also very outstanding among the sisters.
"It's better for my aunt to treat me." Unlike some people, when their biological daughter is away, they treat themselves as treasures, and when their biological daughter comes back and says that they have lost it, they lose themselves.
Aunt Zhao is also a shrewd person, otherwise she would not be able to hand over such a child, she patted Yulanxue's shoulder soothingly, and said with a smile: "It's just a few days, and it won't matter if you get married later." Lan'er bothered herself. ”
It's good that Aunt Zhao didn't mention this, Yulanxue thought that a woman who grew up in the building was lucky enough to climb to the top of the six princes of the dynasty, and she frowned with disdain: "It's really shameless!" ”
Aunt Zhao also frowned, and said with a straight face: "It's just a matter of saying this kind of thing in front of me, out of this door, Yu Yaoxue is still your sister-in-law, you have to pay attention to what you say and do." ”
Speaking of this concubine Yulanxue, it is uncomfortable, although she has been raised by her wife since she was a child, but she is not biological, and she has to add a word in front of the word Miss. Speaking of the dwarfs in the end, one point.
Aunt Zhao also knew that when she talked about Yulan Xue's sore spot, she soothed, "These don't matter, now who doesn't know that the position of the Hou Ye will be your eldest brother in the future, who in the Hou Mansion now dares not to serve as a young lady, and when your eldest brother inherits the title, are we still afraid that there will be no time to raise our eyebrows!" ”
The position is not only Yulanxue's pain, but Aunt Zhao also minds. But she is much calmer than Yulanxue, and she can't be counted on as a foregone conclusion, but she still has to live this day in the future. If you can live well, you can't deal with it at will.
Yulanxue also knew that she had behaved a little too much, took a few deep breaths to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said coolly: "I was surprised that she could get lost in the Lantern Festival before, but now it seems that she is indeed not a worry-free master." ”
"Lan'er!"
Yulanxue saw that Aunt Zhao's face was wrong, so she didn't say anything more and took the topic elsewhere.
"Madam, Yue'er is here." Zhao Xue entered the door to report. She picked it up on the road after Yu Yaoxue lost it, and she has been keeping it by her side, but she is more intimate than those daughters at home.
"Call her in." Thinking of Yu Yaoxue's expression when she talked to Yu Yaoxue about her loss a few days ago, Mrs. Yu's uneasiness became more and more serious. After a few days, it was almost to the point of panic. Her first son died in less than a month, and her second daughter finally grew up to the age of six and disappeared for no reason.
"See Madame." Yue'er was sent by Mrs. Yu to take care of Yu Yaoxue, and she was always relieved to use it in front of her.
"But what did you find?"
"Yes, the slave found this in the belongings brought by the young lady." Yue'er said and took out a rag from her sleeve, as if it was torn off from something, looking at the fancy is relatively old, and the color fabric does not look like it should be for rich and noble people.
"Except for a childhood butterfly flower in Miss's belongings, there is only this one, which looks like it has any meaning."
Mrs. Yu took the rag and looked at it, as if she remembered something, her body shook twice, if it wasn't for Zhao Xue to help her in time, she was afraid that she would have fallen.
Zhaoxue helped Mrs. Yu sit down, and Mrs. Yu waved her hand: "I'm fine." Then he gave the rag to Yue'er, asked her to put it back, and told her not to be discovered by Yu Yaoxue.
"Madame, what's wrong?" Zhao Xue has been with Mrs. Yu for many years, but she can see some clues from it.
Madame Yu's face was full of anger, and her eyes were misty. "My poor Cher! Tell Jiang Fu to go to Xianghe Village to pick up Xue'er's nurse, and don't alarm anyone! ”
"Yes, Zhaoxue will go."
Madame Jade clenched her fists, and her rounded nails were embedded in the flesh without realizing it. Although I was puzzled by Zhao'er's death back then, I didn't dig into it, and when Xue'er disappeared ten years ago, my heart was like ashes, and I almost confessed this life; I can't do anything about you without evidence, and now I've been caught, who harmed my Zhao'er and went down to the Yellow Spring in less than a month, and who harmed Xue'er who was left to suffer at a young age, I want you to have no peace in this life!
In the Seven Star Pavilion, Meng Shaoguang closed the tea bowl after listening to Meng Boyan's report, looked at the sunlight that fell through the leaves, and sighed: "It's time for the wind to blow." ”
