Chapter Seventy-Three
Li Yuni's resolute attitude when she left Shangjing City, Shangguan Han had seen it. Now, he didn't expect that she was really going to break off with him.
However, how could it be so clear that there are still two children after all. It was not only Li Yuni's, but also the blood of his Shangguan family.
Shangguan Han was furious when he thought of this, he wanted to see his child, and there was no one to stop him. The old butler had already arranged a meal, and he came to invite him to eat, but he left without saying a word, and he was in a hurry. The old housekeeper sighed, it was different from the previous second master, no matter how busy he used to be, he would tease him face to face, but now, he is becoming more and more stable.
Shangguan Han came out of Shangguan Mansion and went straight to Li Yuni's mansion in Pingcheng, Shangguan Han's property of the Li family was clear, not to mention, to find the whereabouts of a person in Pingcheng, with his current status, it can be said that it is easy to come.
According to his temperament, he wanted to break in, but after thinking about it, he still ordered the person who followed him to come forward and call the door. The little guy who came to open the door was not happy to be disturbed by his dreams like this. Rubbing his eyes, his attitude was blunt, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Shangguan Han was silent, and the people who followed him couldn't see it, so he stepped forward and picked up the little guy. "Keep your dog's eyes open for ......"
Shangguan Han didn't want to upset Li Yuni, anyway, this was also her person, he signaled, and the attendant who followed let go of the little guy. Shangguan Han flashed in, and the little guy was about to step forward to stop him, but he was stopped by those few people with swords.
Li Yuni coaxed the two children to sleep early, and she sat alone in the inner hall doing handicrafts. Chu Yunxi likes to do some work by herself on weekdays, and she knows that she is busy, so she helps her share some of it. Seeing that winter is coming, it's time to make a few pairs of cotton shoes. Watching the child put on the shoes she made with her own hands made made her felt happy. In the future, she will depend on her two children for her life, not on anyone, nor on anyone's own.
Shangguan Han entered the inner courtyard quietly, there was no one in sight, only the light in the inner hall was on, Li Yuni was a bunch of maids and grandmothers before she got married, but now she is so quiet, the truth is beyond his expectations.
He walked through the verandah and walked into the inner hall, where Li Yuni was doing handicrafts in front of the lamp, looking very serious. Next to her was her personal maid, who had already fallen asleep on the table.
He made a little noise, she looked up, he looked at her, her eyes met, she couldn't believe it, he was annoyed, sour. The two looked at each other like this and didn't say a word.
It was Li Yuni who was the first to break the silence: "I didn't expect you to come." The voice was faint.
"I'm coming to see the kids." Shangguan Han was a little uncomfortable.
"It's all asleep, you see, I asked Mama to bring it over." Li Yuni to calmly.
She didn't make noise, she didn't make trouble, but this attitude made him even more irritable.
"No, it's too late, it's time to lose your temper again when you wake up now." Shangguan Han stopped it.
Li Yuni didn't say anything. Got up and poured him tea.
He took it, and she said, "The tea is a little cold, you can make do with it." Now everyone is resting. ”
He said yes, and really took a sip from the cup. Tea is not what she usually drinks, she is a mouthful and exquisite. He couldn't imagine that his hobby for more than ten years would change.
Perhaps their voices woke up her personal maid, the little girl, who opened her eyes sleepily and looked at Shangguan Han sitting in the inner hall, and hurriedly kowtowed to say goodbye.
He motioned for her to get up, the girl looked at Li Yuni, she motioned to her, and the little girl bowed her knees.
fell into silence again in an instant, Li Yuni pinched the purse on her waist and slammed it again and again. This purse, everyone in their Shangguan family has one, but he doesn't know where it went. He broke the silence.
"Take the child back, mother often talks about you, and thinks about her grandson so much."
"It's good for us to be like this, although it's not fine clothes and food, but it's also comfortable." Li Yuni refused.
"Nier, what I did before, I did too much, man......."
"Now that you're talking about this, I don't have any idea at all, it's not too early, you better go back." Li Yuni gave an eviction order.
"Maybe I shouldn't have been so straightforward, but I sincerely want you to go back." Shangguan Han stood up, and Li Yuni had no intention of sending him off.
He felt that this was already her limit, and he didn't put on a face for him and do something embarrassing to him.
After Shangguan Han left, Li Yuni pushed all the furnishings on the table to the ground with a bang, how could he be so ashamed, and why. He said he would go back and go back, so simple?
Shangguan Jun leaned on the bed and fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was the second day. Opening his eyes in a daze, he called Jing Chen's name, and it was Biluo who answered him, he looked at her, and was stunned for a moment, and when he realized where this was, he came back to his senses.
He dreamed, and in the dream, Jing Chen covered his eyes from behind and asked him to guess who she was. He didn't have to guess that from the moment she approached, the familiar fragrance would be no one else but her.
In the past, in the palace, she was a princess, and he was still a royal guard, and she always liked to play this game of hide and seek. She doesn't care about her identity, she doesn't care about people's whispers, and always teases him when he is on duty. Like a child, blindfolded him behind his back and asked him to guess who she was.
He didn't bother to pay attention to her, this kind of childish game, his little sister, Ying'er didn't like to play anymore, she was still so enthusiastic. How boring she was. At that time, how did he know that she was just boring, as a princess, how could she have friends. Torturing him to the point of becoming her pleasure. And I don't get tired of it.
Biluo waited for him to change his clothes, and after he washed up, he went to the front hall to eat, and the table was full of his favorite food, the characteristics of Pingcheng. He took a sip of porridge, the familiar taste, it must have been made by the chef of Shangguan Mansion, it was rare to have a good appetite, so he ate more.
He was about to ask Biluo when he saw Chu Yunxi bring someone to greet him. He hurriedly got up and helped her up himself.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be formal at home."
Chu Yunxi smiled and took the soup bowl from the hand of the servant behind him, opened it carefully, it was steaming, and the fragrance came to his face. She personally served him a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.
"This is made by my sister-in-law?" Shangguan Jun was very surprised, how many years had she not eaten what she had cooked by herself, as if she had never cooked it since her eldest brother died. Seeing things and thinking about people, I am afraid that she will be sad.
Biluo reminded him in a low voice that these were all done by the eldest princess. He was really flattered. He motioned for Chu Yunxi to sit, but Chu Yunxi was not polite, sat down, and talked with him.
He took a sip of the soup, which tasted good. He nodded appreciatively. It seems that it was a long time ago for him to sit down and talk with Chu Yunxi alone like this, and he still remembered that when his eldest brother died, she was so helpless and confused. The family was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so they stopped her from going to the mourning hall.
However, behind her back, she was still crying dimly, without her eldest brother to rely on, she was alone, how could he endure her good years, just like this.
He promised his eldest brother to help take care of her, and everyone in the family was taking on this responsibility, including Yin Jingchen, who was also helping her intentionally or unintentionally.
So when she was about to go back to Pingcheng, her mother didn't stop her, and she troubled her aunt to help take care of it. Thankfully, she now has something she loves to do.
He may have been so hungry that he drank all the soup she had made. Chu Yunxi smiled when he looked at the empty soup bowl.
"It's the same as Chen'er, they all give me face like this."
Hearing him mention Yin Jingchen, his heart trembled.
"It's still the sister-in-law's craftsmanship, I don't know when Jing Chen was so fortunate to taste the sister-in-law's craftsmanship," Shangguan Jun asked tentatively.
"It was a few months ago." Chu Yunxi did not hide it.
"Sister-in-law has seen Jing Chen here?" Shangguan Jun himself didn't realize that when Chu Yunxi mentioned Yin Jingchen, his excited emotions leaked his heart.
"It's at Yuni's house, she stayed for two nights, and then left."
"Sister-in-law, do you know where she went?"
Chu Yunxi thought for a while, "She didn't say it explicitly, but it sounded like she was going to Bodu." ”
She was really in Bodu, the secret guard didn't see the wrong person, she and Lu Ming were in Bodu, and he really had to plan it well.
When Shangguan Jun went to Pingcheng in person, Dong Yulin still did not return to Bodu City. The guards stationed in Bodu City urged Dong Yulin to return to Bodu to preside over the overall situation, but he was still indifferent.
Dong Yulin and Lu Ming have already made plans. What they want is for Shangguan Jun to come in person.
After Shangguan Jun arrived in Pingcheng, she wrote a letter to Shangguan Ying herself, asking her to take her children back to Pingcheng to visit relatives. Shangguan Ying didn't reply, she couldn't understand in her heart the reason why the third brother asked him to go back to Pingcheng. This time she made a decision, no matter what the outcome is, she must be on Dong Yulin's side.
Just when Dong Yulin was hesitating whether to return to Bodu City first, Shangguan Jun took the lead in attacking, and he ordered Chen Mao to lead the army into Bodu City and escort Dong Yulin back for trial.
Before Chen Mao entered Bodu City, a spy reported that Dong Yulin sent someone to detain the inspector and raised troops to rebel in the name of the Qing monarch on the way back to Bodu.
Shangguan Jun ordered Chen Mao to preemptively launch an attack on Bodu City. Chen Mao has long had a complaint about Dong Yulin, but now that he is holding his breath, he is determined to give Dong Yulin a dismissal.
The generals, in the absence of a commander, organized their troops and rose up to resist. Chen Mao held his breath, and the people of Bodu held their breath even more, thinking that at the beginning, it was under Chen Mao's coercion that Bodu surrendered to the Central Plains. Now they are going to be ashamed, and their morale is really boosted.
Chen Mao underestimated the enemy, suffered losses, and suffered defeat in the first battle. Dong Yulin was in a good mood when he heard the battle situation on the road. In contrast, Shangguan Jun was not in such a good mood.
attacked Bodu, and the first battle was defeated, but Chen Mao was just like that. He wondered if Chen Mao was old and no longer suitable to lead troops to fight.
In the scorching state of the war, Shangguan Ying and Yin Jingchen couldn't sit still, they were sandwiched in the middle, their palms and backs were full of meat, and the defeat of either side was the outcome they didn't want to see.
Long before Dong Yulin set off for Ami City, he sent someone to monitor Shangguan Ying, and to this day, he has long been uneasy about her. The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, once was enough, and he didn't want to plant it in the hands of this woman a second time.
