"No one gossips about the affairs of Concubine Xuan's mother's family. Besides, your second sister is not too young, if you really wait for three years, you will really become an old girl. Your brother Pengyun can wait, but the girl of the Liu family can't wait. The old lady said.

If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely speak out with etiquette and shame.

But now that Liu Ruoliu is a relative of Concubine Xuan, that's another matter.

The Liu family's family affairs are also very good, and the old lady naturally turns a blind eye.

Liu Mengyan suddenly felt that what she came to tell the old lady Liu Ruomei was really a bit redundant.

After talking to the old lady in the long room for a while, Liu Mengyan walked out of Rongde Hall.

"Girl, the second wife actually went home. Our wife didn't even tell you. Bitong couldn't help but say.

"Maybe my mother didn't know about the second aunt's return. Didn't you see the old lady's attitude towards her father just now? Liu Ruli said.

"Yes. When the slave came back this time, she found that our third room had almost no contact with the big room and the second room. In the past, at least the maids in each room would talk and frolic a little. Bitong said.

"It is estimated that the second uncle and his father had a quarrel. Uncle is an idler and doesn't care about anything. Liu Mengyan said.

"That's right." Bitong Road.

The master and servant went to Fangheng Temple.

Liu Ruli still wants to ask the Zhu family, what is the reason why the second aunt Tuoba and the second master Liu have become what they are today.

Mother and daughter sat down and ate refreshments.

"Mother, is this cardamom yellow? It's my mother's favorite one in the south of the city. Liu Mengyan picked up a piece of pastry and said.

Zhu nodded with a smile and picked up a piece to eat.

Looking at such a mother, Liu Ruli felt inexplicably comforted in her heart.

At least my mother is happy now, and she still has the heart to eat pastries.

I don't have to worry about my father's affairs anymore.

"You have a good memory. I still remember my mother's favorite cardamom yellow in the south of the city. Zhu smiled.

"Mother, Yan'er only found out from the old lady's side that the second aunt went back to her parents' house?" Liu Mengyan said casually.

"Hey. My mother doesn't know what your second aunt is arguing with your second uncle for. She wouldn't say anything. Just tell me that if the old lady supports the separation, it will be divided. Zhu said.

"The second aunt said that the family was separated?" Liu Mengyan's heart moved.

Zhu nodded and said, "Actually, our three rooms are all in their own ways. It's just that they still live together, and there is a public account. The old lady of the long house is definitely unwilling to part with the family. ”

"The second aunt is just afraid that she doesn't want to bother everyone!" Liu Mengyan couldn't help but say.

"Huh? What did you just say? Zhu didn't understand Liu Mengyan's words and asked.

"Nothing! Mother, Yan'er supports the separation. Liu Mengyan said.

Zhu Xing probably didn't understand the meaning of the separation, and perhaps he didn't realize that Liu Mengyan said that he supported the separation, so he said a little lazily: "Your brother is like a day now." His mother watched him every day and grew up quickly. It's satisfied. ”

"Daddy is on Gu's side all day long?" Liu Mengyan said.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhu's face, but then disappeared without a trace, and said lightly: "Mother said, as long as your brother is well." The mother doesn't ask for anything else. ”

Liu Ruli suddenly felt very heartbroken, heartache for the Zhu family.

The Zhu family is less than thirty years old, and it is the best moment for a woman, but now she can only guard her son and waste her years.

"Mother...... If one day, my mother can walk out of this house......" Liu Ruli couldn't help but say.

"No, it won't. Your father will not be separated from his mother. Yan'er, my mother understands what you mean. A hint of mockery flashed in Zhu's eyes.

Liu Mengyan saw the helplessness in Zhu's eyes, and her heart was also astringent.

"Let's go, let's go to Master Huang and see your brother go to class?" A slight smile appeared on Zhu's lips.

Liu Mengyan nodded, and then went to Huang Fuzi's courtyard with the Zhu family to watch Liu Qingde attend class.

Huang Fuzi is right! When Zhu watched Liu Qingde go to class, the smile on his face did not fade.

"Mother, Master Huang is very good. It's a pity to be alone. Yan'er once joked with him that he asked his mother to find him a girl. Liu Mengyan gently tentatively said in Zhu's ear.

A trace of consternation flashed on Zhu's face, and he looked at Liu Mengyan in surprise, and then said, "Master Huang doesn't seem to be willing." This kind of thing has to be done by the people themselves. ”

"Mother is right!" Liu Mengyan bent her mouth and smiled.

At night, Liu Ruli slept in her own bed, and she had a little insomnia, and she couldn't help but think of Tuoba Ze's words.

Will he not be able to sleep at this time like himself? Will you go to the concubine's side? Will that Qi Ruyan be at ease?

A series of questions kept her mind moving.

Bitong fell asleep with her, and when she heard the movement around her, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Princess, you haven't slept yet!" ”

"Yes! I'm arguing with you! Liu Mengyan said.

"The princess hasn't fallen asleep yet, but the slave has fallen asleep first!" Bitong said with an embarrassed face.

"Bitong, I want to go to Rongxi Hall to have a look!" Liu Ruli said.

This sentence completely woke up Bitong, who was still in a daze.

"Princess, where are you going and what are you doing! I've heard that no one goes there anymore. Bitong said with a look of surprise, "Now, no one in the mansion mentions the Rongxi Hall. ”

"I want to check it out. I sent her there, after all. I've never seen one of them yet. Liu Mengyan said.

Bitong had no choice but to wait for Liu Ruli to get up, and after each dressed and combed her hair, she went to Rongxi Hall.

Bitong walked in front with a lantern.

The further I went, the more scared I felt.

"Princess, this place is so barren." Bitong Road.

The small flower beds that had been well rested in the past were now overgrown with weeds, and there were no lights, which made them look eerie.

"It seems that Liu Ruomei's exit from the cabinet did not remind my good father of the one inside!" Liu Mengyan smiled mockingly.

She originally thought that after Liu Ruomei was sent to the prince, Liu Sanye would take care of the Gu family and would be kind to the third old lady.

But now, she can see it clearly.

After a knock on the door, the rusty door was opened, revealing a face as horrible as the night.

It was actually Mother Qiu, who was next to the three old ladies in the past.

Now the third old lady and her are locked inside, and no one cares.

Mother Qiu saw Liu Mengyan with eyes like she saw a ghost.

"Mother Qiu, now the princess wants to see the third old lady, open the door quickly!" Bitong spoke.

Qiu's mother may have not seen anyone for a long time, and she also knows that Liu Mengyan is married to the sixth prince, and her identity is not as good as before.

She dodged out of the way.

Liu Mengyan took Bitong's hand and walked in.

The three old ladies had already fallen asleep.

"Mother Qiu, this reward you! Please go and tell her, just say that the concubine is here! Liu Mengyan took off a gold ring from her hand and said.

As soon as Mother Qiu saw the gold, she caught it with trembling hands. She hadn't been rewarded for a long time.

Life is very restrained. The oil and water that used to be is gone.

Qiu's mother immediately went into the back room to report to the third old lady. In the past, if the third old lady was asleep, she would not go in and disturb her.

But how can the current three old ladies compare with the previous ones!

Liu Mengyan sat in the hall with a ghostly fire.

Bitong looked around in amazement, because this place was so different from before.

After a while, the sound of mopping the floor made Liu Mengyan and Bitong feel uncomfortable.

It seems to be the sound of people dragging their shoes on the ground.

Finally, Mother Qiu helped the third old lady in white obscene clothes to come out.

After Liu Mengyan saw the appearance of the third old lady clearly, she said with a cold face: "Doesn't grandmother know how to make and use drugs?" Why, can't you cure your legs and feet? ”

It turned out that the third old lady's legs and feet were a little lame, and the sound of mopping the floor just now came from her legs.

The third old lady pushed Qiu's mother, dragged the already lame leg, and walked to the right position in the hall.

"Bitong, you go out with Mother Qiu and wait. Grandma must have something to say to me. Liu Mengyan said.

The two sat quietly in the dark hall.

A white candle flickered.

"Do you think you've won?" The third old lady's crow-like voice made people sound very uncomfortable.

"Grandmother, that's what you're talking about." Liu Mengyan smiled faintly, "Maybe grandmother is still waiting for Daddy to take Grandmother out." ”

"Even if you don't go out, you know what's going on outside. It is her blessing that Mei can serve by the prince's side. The third old lady said.

"I'm afraid the old lady will be disappointed. One day, the news of the fifth sister will be something that the old lady does not want to hear. Liu Mengyan chuckled.

"When the hell did you start to see this?" The third old lady turned her head and stared at Liu Mengyan.

"Of course, it was the moment when I fell into the water and was rescued." Liu Mengyan stood up and walked outside, "The old lady will live here for the rest of her life." ”

The next day, in the Agarwood Pavilion of King Yi's Mansion.

"Miss, the weather is so good today, why don't you go out and walk around the garden?" Feiyan, the maid who served Qi Ruyan, handed over a bowl of tea and persuaded her.

Qi Ruyan put down the embroidery in his hand, looked at the bright window in spring, drank two sips of tea, and nodded.

Thinking that maybe they would be lucky enough to meet their cousin, holding the hand of the maid Feiyan, the two hurriedly walked out of the Agarwood Pavilion and walked all the way to the garden.

Unfortunately, on this day, the Yang family and the Guo family were depressed in their respective rooms, and the prince had been treating them coldly, and I heard that Qi Zhaoyi arranged Qi Ruyan to live in the palace again, and the two were even more depressed, so they simply put down the past bickering and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers together.

"Sister Guo, what do you mean by Qi Zhaoyi? We are the concubines that the queen mother gave to the prince, and it has only been a few days since we entered the palace, so we hurriedly stuffed people on the prince's bed? ”

"Sister Yang said cautiously, Qi Zhaoyi is the biological mother of the prince after all, and the princess didn't speak, how can there be a place for you and me to talk." Guo said softly.

Yang pouted disdainfully: "Sister Guo is also careful, can't we even say a word in the house!" ”

"Okay, the sun is so good today, most of the flowers in the garden must be blooming, and I won't have to pick a few branches and insert them in the bottle later."
