Chapter 20: The Past Revisited
Yuyang's birthday banquet, a day that I thought would be full of happy memories, ushered in the news of my father's concubine. Of course she doesn't care about this, the only thing she cares about is the adoptive mother An Junlan who gave her warmth and tolerance. She didn't know what the consequences would be if she confronted the Prime Minister's wife, and she didn't have time to think about it.
The ninth day of May is the day when Ning Yixuan passed away ten years ago. Although An Junlan is now very calm to face this matter again, she can also say to her son's tablet: It's good to be a mother now, you have a brother and sister. But she couldn't bear that this day of death was the day of the child's father's concubine.
Yuyang didn't care about the number of courtesies or even the comfort of Ning Mansion, she just did it as she pleased. An Junlan was lying on the bed, she was exhausted.
"Mother......" Yuyang's eyes were red, his nose was sour, and tears filled his eyes.
"Yang'er, for my mother to know, I know ......"
Finally, with the tears that crossed the corners of An Junlan's eyes, Yuyang couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Yuyang cut the pulse for An Junlan, and there was a trace of worry on his face, An Junlan hurt her body and mind when she was grief-stricken in the early years, and since Yuyang and her sister and brother came to Ningfu, they opened An Junlan's heart little by little. has been medicinalized, and his body has been more stable over the years. Today's events may have a great impact on An Junlan.
"Miss, slave ......"
"What's wrong, Cuiliu?"
"Madame's demeanor, the slave maid seems to be when Young Master Xuan died...... I've seen it. ”
"Huh?"
"When Young Master Xuan died, Mrs. was also in this state."
"......" Yuyang didn't know what to say for a while. When she was very young, she had seen people dying from the plague everywhere, because it was too late to bury them, it was really not an exaggeration to have corpses all over the field, and she took life and death very lightly.
"At that time, the master didn't rush back, and the lady didn't care whether the plague was contagious, so she hugged Young Master Xuan tightly until the master came back......"
"What? Was my dad not there at the time? Yuyang was obviously a little surprised.
"Yes, the master was passed into the palace and returned very late."
"Cuiliu, are you mistaken? It wasn't that he was locked up in the palace during the plague, but he returned to the palace and was passed on to the palace again, right? ”
"In fact, no one in the palace came to the palace to summon, at that time the lord was in the house to treat Young Master Xuan, Young Master Xuan's condition seems to have been stabilized, but the lack of a taste of medicinal materials is very rare, the master went out to look for medicine, this time he didn't come back, when Young Master Xuan was sick, he couldn't invite a doctor to come to the door during the plague period, and waited until the master came back......"
Yuyang fell into thoughts, since the palace gate had been sealed, it was impossible for the imperial doctor who had not entered the palace to be summoned back. Then Daddy went out to look for medicine, even if the search for medicine failed, why did he say that he was recalled to the palace? Even if he is recalled to the palace, he can still come out, which is even more absurd.
"Cuiliu, don't mention this matter to anyone."
"Yes, miss."
"By the way, Cuiliu, you go to the corridor to decoct the medicine."
"Yes, miss."
Yuyang looked at An Junlan who was lying on the bed, and then increased the amount of medicine on the prescription. She wanted An Junlan to sleep more deeply, her thoughts had been tortured for too long. So when he cut the pulse just now, a trace of worry flashed on Yuyang's face.
Ning Zhongxin, who had sent off the guests, turned around and saw Cuiliu who was boiling the decoction, and he smelled something wrong.
"Cuiliu!"
"Yes, sir!"
"How's Madame doing?"
"Back to the master, the lady is not very good, I just drank the prepared medicine, but I don't seem to be able to sleep calmly."
"This is Yang'er's new prescription?"
"Yes, sir!"
Ning Zhongxin smelled the smell of the decoction and noticed that the amount he used was heavier, so he ran all the way to An Junlan's bedroom. Yuyang saw Ning Zhongxin coming in a hurry, Yuyang shook his head lightly at Ning Zhongxin, Ning Zhongxin slowed down and followed Yuyang out of the bedroom.
"Daddy......"
"Yang'er, is your mother ......?"
"Yes, Daddy, mother, she is in a very bad state now."
"Daddy, what the hell is going on?"
"Yang'er, do you believe Daddy, I don't know why the emperor suddenly gave him a marriage."
"Daddy, my daughter believes you don't know about this. I also often go out with you for treatment, but have you never heard of Prime Minister Gongsun and his sister? ”
"This woman's father saw it when she was young, she was the personal maid next to the Prime Minister's wife, and she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with the Prime Minister's wife, she was not called Gongsun Lingxi before, her surname was Guan Zi Lingxi."
"Then has Daddy ever thought about why the emperor gave you the intimate maid of the Prime Minister's wife when he gave you marriage?"
"I don't know... I've had nothing to do with them for a long time... If your mother has three long and two short, how can I be worthy of her, how can I rest assured. Ning Zhongxin looked annoyed, holding his head in his hands in pain.
"Daddy, don't be like this, my mother will be fine." Yuyang served tea to Ning Zhongxin.
"When Yi Xuan left, she was overly sad and had already hurt her five organs, and now that this incident has happened, how can she hold on." Ning Zhongxin actually cried, Yuyang looked at her helpless father in front of her, and felt unspeakably sad in her heart, but she wanted to ask clearly what happened back then.
"Daddy, can my daughter ask you something?"
Ning Zhongxin raised his head and looked at Yuyang, he and An Junlan had always pampered her and Yutong as children, he suddenly found that she was no longer a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, when she was young, she had to sit on this chair and lean down slightly to see her little face, and now she had to straighten up and raise her head to see her appearance.
"Yang'er, what did you find?"
"What do you think your daughter will find?"
Ning Zhongxin lowered his head, he didn't know how to tell Yuyang about the past, and he didn't think it was necessary.
"Mrs. Prime Minister, she ......" Yuyang saw that Ning Zhongxin was a little silent, so he took the initiative to ask.
"I've known her since I was a child, but your mother knows everything about my past with her."
"Dad, can you tell your daughter about Yi Xuan's death?"
Ning Zhongxin didn't dare to look at Yuyang directly, at this moment he suddenly felt that there was a distance from this daughter, there was no longer timidity in her eyes, there was something incomprehensible in her eyes that rejected people thousands of miles away, he began to feel that Ning Yuyang was not Ning Yuyang, he even felt that the family relationship without blood relationship was very weak, this thought flashed, he looked up at Yuyang in front of him with some horror...
