Chapter 111: Conscience or Not
Yuan Jiaojiao feels that people are really strange, and sometimes just one sentence can crush all her hopes.
is like her father back then, and like Ji Yanning today.
After many years, parents should have long been accustomed to the existence of that Murong Yixue.
Hearing the old lady's question, she just smiled slightly and said, "I said that I would take care of and be filial to you for the master, since I said that I would do it, my surname is Yuan now, and I am the daughter of the Yuan family." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao's words couldn't help but make the old lady's eyes red, and she said: "Good boy, you don't have to worry, they are your biological parents after all, if you really figure it out and want to go back to Murong Mansion, I won't stop you." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao hugged the old lady and buried herself in the old lady's arms, not daring to raise her head.
Her parents have an older brother, Murong Yixue, and a younger brother, and the old lady is the only one by her side.
Yuan Jiaojiao did not refuse Murong Yixue's invitation in the end, she decided to meet in advance.
I don't know if Murong Yixue has replaced her identity for so many years, can she live with peace of mind?
After having dinner with her grandmother, Yuan Jiaojiao returned to her yard to deal with some trivial matters in the details of the ceremony.
"Miss, you want to see Murong Yixue tomorrow, don't you need to tell the eldest lady about this?" Zi Su whispered to Yuan Jiaojiao.
Yuan Jiaojiao snorted coldly and said, "What is there to say about this, it is difficult for me to do everything in my own affairs through her consent!"
Shisu bit her lip, but didn't say anything more.
Ever since that yen Jiaojiao had an awkward quarrel with the eldest lady, she seemed to be really angry with the eldest lady, and returned to her own state, completely forgetting how the eldest lady had explained her actions before.
Shisu said stupidly: "I'll change the young lady to a new pot of hot tea." ”
As she spoke, she took the teapot out of the table.
Yuan Jiaojiao looked at her back and pouted, she naturally knew that Zi Su was going to report to Ji Yanning.
This maid was sent by Ji Yanning to keep an eye on her, and she didn't expect Zisu to be on her side to help her hide it.
Looking at the things in her hand, Yuan Jiaojiao only felt bored, she sat at the table and dragged her chin with her hand, and her heart was also a little entangled.
To be honest, she was very disappointed in Ji Yanning in her heart.
Even after a cat and a dog get along for a long time, they will have some feelings, not to mention that she and Ji Yanning know each other well, and she actually refused to let her detoxify herself!
Could it be that Ji Yanning doubted that she would turn against her after detoxification?
It's like guarding against someone you don't trust.
Therefore, Yuan Jiaojiao did not inform Ji Yanning of the fact that Duan Wufang saw her face, and this time she decided to see Murong Yixue, anyway, there would be Zisu to pass her a message, so she naturally didn't have to worry about it.
There was no response to the words that Zi Su said, and now the people in Ji Yanning's courtyard were worried about her condition, and naturally they couldn't deal with such a "trivial matter".
On the second day, Murong Yixue arrived at the gate of the Yuan Mansion as scheduled.
Murong Hao sent her to the Yuan Mansion, and planned to ride back, but was stopped by Murong Yixue.
"Brother, come and pick me up in the afternoon. Murong Yixue said with a smile, looking forward to it.
There was not a trace of ripple in Murong Hao's eyes, he turned his head to look at Murong Yixue: "Mother asked me to send you over, she didn't say that I would take you back, not to mention that there are so many guards in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, why let me waste time!"
Murong Yixue lowered her head in disbelief and let out a soft "oh".
Murong Hao rode away and left without a dust, leaving only an indifferent back.
Maybe she was used to it, Murong Hao was always lukewarm to her, but she didn't take it to heart, turned around and walked into the Yuan Mansion.
Yuan Gui greeted him and was slightly stunned when he saw Murong Yixue, but suddenly his face regained and said with a smile: "Miss Murong, my old lady and young lady are already waiting in the side hall, please come with me." ”
Murong Yixue bowed slightly: "There is labor." ”
Before the old lady's wife and Yuan Jiaojiao moved back to the General's Mansion, the furnishings in the General's Mansion had been renovated, so it didn't look like the courtyard house that Murong Yixue had imagined that had not lived with a master for more than ten years.
On the contrary, the furnishings in the courtyard are not inferior to some families, and they look pleasing to the eye.
I didn't expect that the Yuan Mansion had been down for so many years, and it still had the scene it has today, it seems that the General's Mansion back then had a deep foundation and a good foundation.
It's just that since she stepped into this Yuan Mansion, the little maids and maids passing by were a little surprised when they saw her, she was puzzled, but she didn't see any subordinates whispering, it seems that these subordinates are also managed well.
She followed Yuan Gui to the side hall of the General's Mansion.
As soon as she stepped into the door, she saw the old lady sitting on the main seat, she smiled slightly, she looked extremely dignified, and was about to take another step forward, she saw Yuan Jiaojiao sitting on the side.
The face that looked exactly like her.
A thunderous bombardment sounded in her head, as if her whole person had been struck by lightning, and she stood stunned and stunned.
Yuan Jiaojiao chuckled: "Murong Yixue, long time no see." ”
The two maids standing behind Murong Yixue also looked at Yuan Jiaojiao in surprise, and then glanced at Murong Yixue, which was extremely messy for a while.
There are actually two young ladies?
It was the first time the old lady had seen Murong Yixue, and now she saw her and Yuan Jiaojiao appear in front of her, and thinking of what Murong Yixue did to Yuan Jiaojiao when she was a child, her eyes became deep, and her face was indifferent.
She spoke, "Sure enough, it's about the same as our delicate looks." But this character is far worse than Jiaojiao. ”
Yuan Jiaojiao glanced back at Mrs. Yuan and smiled: "Grandmother has vision!"
After being surprised, Murong Yixue gradually came back to her senses, she stared at Yuan Jiaojiao tightly, gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you here!"
"Didn't you send a message and say you wanted to see me?" Yuan Jiaojiao looked innocent, "So I agreed." ”
Murong Yixue's eyes almost made it look like Yuan Jiaojiao's whole person was going to see through it, she didn't believe it: "You can't be Yuan Jiaojiao!"
The only seedling of the Yuan Mansion, the descendant of the great general, how could it be her!
Yuan Jiaojiao chuckled, and then her eyes became sharp: "I am Yuan Jiaojiao, and I am also Murong Yixue." It's just you, nothing!"
Murong Yixue's hand hidden under his sleeve clenched and was silent for a long time, but finally regained his senses.
She had thought about the scene of the real Murong Yixue's return in countless nightmares, and she had also thought of countless ways to deal with it, but now that she was really standing in front of her, it still made her messy.
She calmed down and stepped forward to salute the old lady.
"Murong Yixue, the younger Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, greets the old lady. ”
Before the old lady could speak, Murong Yixue had already spoken: "The granddaughter of the old lady really looks like me. ”
Yuan Jiaojiao's eyes looked at Murong Yixue, and her eyes were obscure.
Mrs. Yuan said: "It's not that she looks like you, it's that you look too much like her." ”
Murong Yixue listened to the words of the old lady, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she still said calmly: "I wonder why our ceremony is on the same day, I originally thought it was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect this world to be so small, not only the birthday is the same, but even the face looks the same, it's really too coincidental." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao opened her mouth and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you what happened nine years ago?"
"What am I afraid of?" Murong Yixue chuckled, "You are the young lady of the Yuan General's Mansion, and I am the eldest daughter of Murong Zuoxiang's Mansion, our well water does not interfere with river water, why should I be afraid of you?"
Yuan Jiaojiao looked downcast: "Until now, you are still unwilling to face the reality." ”
"It's you who should face reality!" Murong Yixue's tone suddenly became cold, she turned her head to look at Yuan Jiaojiao, "Do you think that if you have the same face as me, you can replace me?" You think too much, this world is so big, there are no surprises, even if two people who have nothing to do with each other look similar, it is not surprising. ”
Mrs. Yuan looked at Murong Yixue in front of her, her eyes glowing with coldness.
is obviously a fellow mother, but her personality is so different.
Fortunately, Jing'er saved Jiaojiao at the beginning.
Yuan Jiaojiao stood up, looked at her at eye level, and said with a smile: "You can deceive yourself like this, but others will not paralyze themselves like you." ”
"I'll make people believe it. Murong Yixue reasoned as a matter of course.
Yuan Jiaojiao nodded, not arguing with her about this point, but said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it is the day of the ceremony, everyone will see my face, if you have the ability to deceive all the people, I will not take the initiative to poke you." ”
"Then we'll see. Murong Yixue squeezed out a smile.
Yuan Jiaojiao nodded and shrugged indifferently.
Murong Yixue looked at Yuan Jiaojiao's face, eager to make her disappear forever, she gritted her teeth and turned around and was about to stride away!
"Wait. Yuan Jiaojiao called out to her.
Murong Yixue paused, stopped, and did not turn around.
"After so many years, you have lived like this, have you ever lived with peace of mind?" asked Yuan Jiaojiao.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Murong Yixue's eyes, and she didn't answer, and walked straight out.
Looking at the back of Murong Yixue leaving, Yuan Jiaojiao's face was not much better.
The old lady sitting on the throne said: "Looking at her appearance, she will not compromise easily, you need to be careful." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao nodded: "I know." ”
Murong Yixue walked out of the Yuan Mansion angrily with the two maids, no wonder those subordinates were so surprised to see her, it turned out that she was back!
I'm afraid that Ji Yanning, who suddenly appeared, also knows about it!
When she thought of this, she became even more angry.
Yuan Jiaojiao, can't stay!
Murong Yixue stepped on the low stool and was about to enter the carriage, when she suddenly thought of something, and turned her head to look at the two maids behind her.
The two maids lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak.
"You should know why the green painting was sold by Miss Ben, right?" asked Murong Yixue.
Her gaze was so palpitating that the two maids hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly, "The slave doesn't know anything, and she won't say anything to others!"
Only then did Murong Yixue turn around and walk into the carriage with confidence, and walked away.
