Chapter 1: The Seven Ladies of the Yan Family
Spring is a good time to enjoy flowers for the people of Yanfu, the whole Yanfu is full of spring blossoming breath as soon as it arrives in spring, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere, at this time of year, the old lady of Yanfu will always hold a flower-viewing meeting, inviting the dignitaries and nobles of the capital to Yanfu to enjoy the flowers, which is very lively.
However, this year, the Yanfu flower viewing meeting was not held on time, and even the door was closed, and many admirers who came to admire the flowers were declined, just because she came back.
"Mother, I just sent someone to report that Xiruo has already arrived outside the city gate, and he will be home in a short time."
The woman who came in a hurry to report the news was the grandmother of Yanfu, and the mother in her mouth was the old lady of Yanfu.
The old lady of Yanfu has four sons, all of whom are concubines, and only one daughter was born to the second wife, because the second wife died early, so the old lady is also very fond of this concubine's daughter.
It is said that the son of the old lady is also considered to be competitive, the Yan family is considered to be the official family of the official for generations, and before that it was only a small prefect, but in the generation of the old lady's sons, because of the dispute between the emperors, the four sons of the Yan family held the throne for the prince, so it also completely stabilized the throne of the Yan family in the capital, the eldest son took over the position of the director of the Yan family, not only managed the entire family properly, he was also the prime minister of the dynasty, one person under ten thousand people, although the second son did not enter the court as an official, but he is also a competitive person, The boss behind the scenes of the largest restaurant in the capital is the second master of the Yan family, in addition, he has many ferries in his hands, the third son is the master of the dynasty, the master of all the princes, the fourth son is the general of the protector of the country, holding a million army, guarding the frontier, as for the fifth lady who came out, although it was from the second wife, but because her mother died early, the old lady also treated her as her own daughter, and the four brothers were even more fond of her, and they couldn't wait to give her everything last.
When the fifth miss of the Yan family was fifteen years old, she met a doctor of the rivers and lakes, and promised each other for life, although the family objected, but she couldn't bear to be sad, and finally compromised, fortunately, although the other party was a doctor of the rivers and lakes, but she was very fond of her, and also made the Yan family very comforted, but the good times did not last long, and the fifth miss of the Yan family died of dystocia when giving birth. And the child's father also disappeared after handing over his daughter to the Yan family.
Before leaving, he left only a paragraph, the child took his mother's surname, named Xiruo, and asked the Yan family to send the child to the Phantom Valley when he was eight years old, and he could not leave the valley until he was eighteen years old.
Although the Yan family doesn't understand the reason, they also love this child tightly, after all, she is also the child of the Yan family, the child of the fifth lady of the Yan family, even if the parents are gone, they can't bear the child to be wronged at all.
When the child was eight years old, the Yan family kept the agreement and sent her to Phantom Valley, even if they were reluctant.
It was also at that time that they learned the true identity of the child's biological father, who was the most mysterious phantom young master, the phantom master with mysterious witchcraft.
The identity of the Phantom family is not known to the outside world, this is what the owner of the Phantom Valley told them when they sent Yan Xiruo to the Phantom Valley, and he asked them to keep this secret, because it is not yet known to outsiders.
Therefore, the Yan family has tacitly guarded this secret until now.
However, today is the eighteenth birthday of the child who has been away from home for ten years, and it is also the day she returns home.
When the old lady heard the words of the eldest daughter-in-law, she was so happy that she stood up from the chair, and the smile on her face was also bright.
"Quick, go and let the next person prepare what Xiruo likes to eat, you are going to Qingfeng Yuan to see if there is anything wrong, that kid hasn't been home for ten years, and I don't know if I'm used to it."
"Mother, I have already asked my subordinates to prepare what Xiruo likes to eat, and I have also ordered someone to check and sort it out again and again in Qingfeng Garden, she will definitely like it."
Although the eldest lady was a little dissatisfied with the old lady's concern for the child of this concubine's daughter, she was also full of smiles, who in the whole Yanfu did not know, the old lady's favorite was the child born to this concubine's daughter, and she couldn't wait to give her everything that was best in the world.
Even several masters of Yanfu are very fond of this niece, no less than the old lady, so that although these aunts are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything.
Although Yan Xiruo has been away for ten years, the place where she lives is cleaned every day, and even the old lady in Qingfeng Garden is carefully taken care of, for fear that she will not be used to it when she comes back.
And these grandchildren who were by the old lady's side didn't even enjoy that tenth.
Today is even worse, I don't know that the old lady is looking forward to her coming back soon, and even her three uncles are waiting at home early, for fear of missing it.
The only fourth child who couldn't rush back also brought the letter back early, and the only one who cared about it was his niece.
"Old lady, Miss Seven is back." The housekeeper ran into the yard, and before he could catch his breath, he reported the good news first.
"Coming back? Quick, go to the lobby. The old lady smiled happily and let the eldest daughter-in-law support her, and even the legs that were a little uneasy suddenly gained strength.
"But, Miss Seven seems to have brought someone back." The butler followed behind the old lady, hesitated for a while, but still spoke.
The old lady's footsteps stopped, turned to look at the housekeeper, and after finding that his face was a little solemn, she frowned slightly: "Who did Xiruo bring someone back?" ”
It won't be like her mother back then, how can this be, this child's identity is so special, how can she marry a Jianghu person at will.
The housekeeper lowered his head, and he didn't know whether to say it or not, but he thought that the old lady would see it in a while, so it was good to say it first so that she could be prepared: "When I greeted Miss Seven at the door just now, I found that Miss Seven also brought a person with her, and that person was Lord Mo, who disappeared some time ago. ”
"Lord Mo?" Muttered to herself, the old lady's brows furrowed even deeper, didn't the demented Mo Wang Ye disappear a month ago, the capital sent many people to look for it, even the prince's secret guards and the guards of the Mo Wangfu were dispatched, but they didn't find it, why did they go with Xiruo?
"Let's go check it out." Since I can't figure out the reason, I can only see the person concerned and be told by them.
"Xiruo, what is this, it's delicious, Xiruo can eat it too."
As soon as she arrived at the door of the hall, the voice in the room came clearly, and she let go of her frowning brows, and the old lady Yan tried to make herself look normal before entering the hall.
In the hall, his three sons sat on one side, without speaking, but the mood at the moment should be the same, and on the other side, the stupid five princes who are known to everyone in the dynasty, Xuan Yuanmo is eating a pastry in one hand, and beside him is his granddaughter Yan Xiruo, who has been thinking about it for a long time.
Even though she hadn't seen her granddaughter for ten years, she often heard descriptions of her from her eldest son, and the face that was so similar to her mother that she recognized it at a glance.
"Grandma." Yan Xiruo smiled gently and wanted to support her grandmother, but there was a prince beside her, so she couldn't leave for a while, and she could only call across the table.
"The old body sees Lord Mo." Although I really want to step forward to take a closer look at my granddaughter, but because the prince is here, even if he is stupid, he can't break the rules, and he can't let the world think that the Yan family is high and powerful, and he doesn't take the royal family seriously.
"Xiruo said that you don't need to see it, you can sit casually." Xuan Yuanmo kept stuffing food into his mouth while talking, just now when they came to Yanfu, Xiruo said that these are her family members, so they are all good people, and if they are good people, they don't need to see him.
"Lord Xie Mo." With the support of the eldest daughter-in-law, he went to the eldest son's side, looked at the imageless people eating over there, and sighed silently.
Xuanyuan Mo is actually very good-looking, a face is good-looking and thrilling, different from the toughness of ordinary men, Xuanyuan Mo's facial features are delicate as if finely crafted, such a man with the identity of a prince should be the other party admired by all girls.
If Lord Mo hadn't been stupid, he would have been as worthy as his granddaughter, but unfortunately, he was fine five years ago, but he suddenly became stupid, but this is okay, the prince will have one less threat, or the biggest threat.
"Have you gone to inform Prince Mo that he is in Yanfu?" Retracted her gaze and sighed slightly, it seemed that she couldn't talk to her granddaughter for a while, so she turned her head and asked her eldest son.
"I've been informed, and it is estimated that the Mowang Mansion will come to pick up people in a while." The eldest son Yan Zhenming replied respectfully to the old lady's words, he had already been notified by the Mo prince, and it was estimated that someone should come after a while.
"How did Xi Ruo know Lord Mo?" That's what she cares about the most.
"This son doesn't know either, and you have seen it mother, we don't have a chance to say a word to Xiruo." Xiruo has been followed by a Mo Wangye, so they can't get close at all.
