Chapter Seventy-One: The Desolate Courtyard
"Where is it, the prince is young and promising, his name is psychic, and he is willing to appreciate his face, which is my honor. I heard that the prince saved my future niece and son-in-law a few days ago, so today I dared to stop the prince's car and specially invited the prince to come to the house to express my gratitude. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and saw a dozen people coming from behind the house, all dragging a large tray in their hands, on which were all kinds of rare treasures, not luxurious.
"Master Chu is polite, this king didn't do anything, just settled for Feng Gongzi for the night. Such a generous gift cannot be borne by this king. ”
Ye Ming waved his hand, and the smile on Chu Xian's face immediately froze a little, signaling his subordinates to retreat. snorted coldly in his heart, a hairy boy who has not dried up, but he is a county king, or an unfavored county king, it is ridiculous to put this shelf.
"The prince doesn't have to be modest, it's just that I don't know something, and I ask the prince to make it clear. I know that after my nephew went up the mountain, he sent people to wait at the bottom of the mountain day and night, but I didn't see him come down the mountain, how did he get to the prince's place?"
Chu Xian squinted his eyes and glanced at Chu Xing, the little girl, although she had injuries on her body and her face was pale, but compared to a few months ago, between her eyebrows, there seemed to be a bit of aura, and she looked very powerful with a whip on her waist. I heard that the spies of that day reported that she and Feng Minglu had solved those Deadpools with the strength of the two of them. It seems that that outbreak made her.
"Now you have to ask your nephew, this king only blinked an eye, and he appeared before this king, and when he woke up, he left, and this king did not know anything. Nightshade shook his head and asked rhetorically, his eyes full of doubt.
"How could the prince not know that the girl beside the prince went up the mountain with my brother Minglu. The prince is like this, he is intentionally partial. ”
Yun Yishan said in a low voice of displeasure and pointed to Chu Xing. If she had known earlier that this girl was dressed as a man, she would definitely not let Brother Minglu go to Hawk Mountain. also said that it was inconvenient for her to follow her. It turned out that it was all about her. In order to let herself and Brother Minglu get along with each other, a lonely man and a widow, she is really a scheming woman.
"My girl also came back from a faint, and she was seriously injured, I haven't held you accountable Brother Minglu, you asked about this king first. There was meaning in his eyes, and Ye Ming had a cold face, as if he was smiling, and glanced at Yun Yishan gloomily.
"Yishan, don't be unreasonable. Yun Qiqi on the side stepped forward first and enthusiastically took Chu Xing's hand.
"Alas, the prince, the child is ignorant, and he collided with the prince, and the prince was angry. It turns out that this is the first star girl you told me about Yishan, who is similar to my eyebrows and eyes. Look, sir, are we like? Alas, this hand, the first star girl went up the mountain with her nephew this time, and she suffered a lot. She tugged at Yun Yishan's sleeve and motioned for her to stop. With a distressed tone, he stepped forward and took Hatsuxing's hand, looked left and right, and stroked Hatsuxing's face. Like a loving mother.
"Thanks to Mrs. Chu's love, it doesn't hurt the slave maid to hurt her. Chu Xing awkwardly withdrew his hand and leaned back towards the side of the night underworld, looking at the first couple vigilantly.
"Like, indeed. Chu Xian looked excited and nodded vigorously.
Provoked Chu Xing and Ye Ying to look at each other, which one is this singing? Recognize relatives? Is it possible, the one who was at the foot of the tortoise mountain a few days ago was not their person? No, if not, how would they know my every move with Feng Minglu, and it feels clear that it is them? ?
"First master, first lady, my maidservant is an orphan, she grew up in the mountains, how can she be similar to Mrs. Chu? If the first master has nothing else to do, then the king will leave first. Night Hades got up and stepped forward, protecting the first star behind him. Some got impatient.
"Don't misunderstand, we have no malicious intent, and there is a reason for this. Seeing that Ye Ming turned around to leave, Yun Qiqi hurriedly stepped forward.
"Yes, my lord. This is some of the past of our first family, not afraid of the prince's jokes, our first family once had a son in love with someone who should not be loved, for love into a demon, and finally threw himself under the cliff of the sunken mountain, at that time we all said that the woman died in childbirth, but in fact, that day the brother took the child in madness and disappeared. For many years, we have been looking for the child for the fulfillment of the last wish of the second elder, and that day Yishan said that when we met a person with a first surname similar to my wife, we wanted to meet him. ”
The two sang and harmonized, and Yun Qiqi had tears in his eyes, like a poor old couple looking for their lost relatives. But in the eyes of Nightshade, this was just a disgusting trick, and he indifferently blocked the first star behind him.
"Your wife is a child of the Yun family, how can she be like her?" Ye Ying asked, his tone was stiff, and the politeness that Fang had just disguised was now all disintegrated.
"The prince doesn't know, my brother's biological mother is my eldest lady of the first family, and she is also the daughter of the Yun family, and my wife is her niece, and they all say that nieces are like aunts, and sons are like mothers, so my wife and my brother are also five or six points similar. ”
Chu Xian patiently explained, peeking at Chu Xing's reaction from time to time, but seeing the little girl, she just frowned, looking absent-minded, without the slightest excitement as they imagined. Shouldn't a child who has been exiled for many years be in tears when someone who may be a close relative comes to him? No matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be such an indifferent reaction.
"Oh, it turns out that there is such a reason, but I don't know, with this somewhat similar face, how can you be sure that she is your lost child? Ye Ming snorted coldly, thinking about what the two of them wanted to do today. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, looking eager to recognize his relatives, there is a big problem.
"Naturally, I won't recognize it, as long as the first girl is willing to go with us, she will know. Chu Xian stroked his beard and squinted, staring at Chu Xing.
"Where?" The first star finally reacted, poking his head out from behind the night and smiling. Like a child who has finally been interested, there is a look of anticipation in his eyes.
"If you don't go anywhere, it's just in the house, just a few steps away. With an excited face, Chu Xian hurriedly got up and took the lead and walked to the front.
Ye Ying looked at Hatsuxing suspiciously, but saw her put his hand in the palm of her hand, patted it, and comforted her.
"We don't have to bother to check the confession of relatives for free, why not?" She stepped on her feet and whispered a knife in his ear.
"How do you know they're not lying to you?" He nodded her little head and shook her head.
"What good is it to them to lie to me?"
For a while, he couldn't answer, yes, she was a girl who grew up in the mountains, except for holding a two-color aura, it didn't seem to be anything that their first family needed. He clenched his hands and raised the corners of his mouth, he couldn't do anything about this girl. There are too many quirky thoughts in her little brain, and he can't keep up, so he can only accompany her and protect her.
The two paced slowly behind them, wary of the changes around them, especially the Nightshade. The palm under the sleeve is always ready.
They walked through a garden and a few more corridors before they finally reached a desolate courtyard.
Chu Xian beckoned to the maidservant beside him, and swept the door that was already covered with cobwebs, and then asked the butler to take out the key and untie the big lock on the door, only to see that the butler had changed several keys in a row, twisted from side to side several times, and finally took a lot of effort to open the big lock that had been rusted.
Hatsuxing looked at the desolate courtyard, at the withered and messy weeds inside the wall, and a trace of afterimage flashed in her mind.
Pushing the door in, the dust was raised in an instant, choking the few people in front of them with their sleeves and coughing. It took a while for the dust to dissipate. An inner courtyard that looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time is in front of you. Chu Xing looked at the broken yard with weeds reborn and cobwebs everywhere, and wondered a little, what is the mystery of a broken yard?
"Ahem, Master Chu, what does this mean?" Ye Ying looked at the first appearance, looked at the broken courtyard, condensed, and explored under the hem of his palm, and there was no ambush around.
"Lord Wang, this is the courtyard of my brother before his death, and our first family has a method of checking relatives. Originally, it was to take a wisp of aura from parents and a wisp of aura from children to merge into the long cloud lantern enshrined in our first ancestral hall. ”
"Isn't that supposed to go to the ancestral hall, what are you doing here?" Chu Xing hid his snort, and followed Chu Xian and his party to push open the door of the room that they hadn't entered for a long time, and a musty smell and dust came to their noses.
She watched with her hand tightly holding the night and looked around at the chairs in the room, and a trace of afterimage flashed in her mind again. She shook her head, staying awake.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that there was a vision on her face, Nightshade asked in a worried whisper. After all, there are still injuries on her body, and after standing for so long, she must be tired.
"It doesn't matter. She waved her hand, stepped forward, and stopped in front of a picture in the corner, and she stared at the woman in the painting, who was leaning against a tree and sleeping. Chu Xing couldn't help but sigh.
"This is your biological mother, named Luoxue. Behind her, Yun Qiqi patted her on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
I still remember that when Luoxue entered the Chufu, she had just entered the Chufu not long ago, she was just pregnant, and she went deep into the Jane, only occasionally in the attic, and saw Luoxue walk in front of the courtyard a few times, and at that time, Luoxue was already pot-bellied. Every time she passed by, she was supported by Chu Xuan, who was very affectionate, and she was envious. She heard that Luoxue was a very gentle and generous woman, and she had never complained about the old lady's cold words and the gossip of the people.
Now that I think about it, I am actually just a poor woman who fell in love with someone she shouldn't love, had dreams that she shouldn't have, and ended up reaping the consequences.
"Lord Wang, do you think she is like me?" She gently tugged at the fingertips of the night and muttered quietly, but her eyes were inexplicably sore.
This woman is really her biological mother?? I didn't expect it to be so good-looking.
"A few points. He smiled, looked at the portrait again, but saw the flower on the woman's forehead, like the pattern of a flower on the other side, and his face froze.
