Chapter Eleven: Wife and Daughter
After speaking, Cheng Luzhi glared at Cheng Sijin fiercely, then frowned and left.
"Miss……"
Taoye stepped forward to comfort Cheng Sijin, but she heard Cheng Sijin say thoughtfully: "This King Rui, isn't he familiar with us?"
Taoye was startled, as her young lady didn't take the master's attitude at all.
He Xiang said from the side: "Prince Rui has no relationship with us. I am also surprised. Why does Prince Rui protect the young lady today?"
After listening to He Xiang's words, Cheng Sijin knew that it was not a bug in the original owner's memory...
So why did King Rui, who suddenly appeared, want to help him?
As soon as he left the gate of Cheng Mansion, Gu Yunsheng sneezed loudly!
"Your Majesty, aren't you catching a cold?!" Wan Yan, the guard next to Gu Yunsheng, was concerned, and then asked doubtfully:
"I really don't understand, why would you go there in person for such a trivial matter?"
Gu Yunsheng was in a good mood, "What do you know?"
Wan Yan touched his nose. He really didn't understand what had happened to his master these days...
I followed Prince Duan all day long and even intercepted Eunuch Li’s errand on the way...
Coming out of Cheng Mansion, I was so happy that I grinned to the back of my head... Even if I found gold, I wouldn't be so happy, right?
Thinking of seeing Cheng Sijin again in three days, the smile on Gu Yunsheng's lips instantly deepened.
Cheng Luzhi, who had just left Mu Jinzhai, was heading towards Yixiang Garden with furrowed brows, but met Aunt He and Cheng Siyu halfway.
"My daughter has met her father."
Cheng Siyu's gentle appearance was in sharp contrast to the rebellious Cheng Sijin just now. Cheng Luzhi's face brightened slightly and said, "Yu'er, please get up."
Cheng Siyu stood up, "Daddy, are you... coming from Third Sister?"
As soon as Cheng Sijin was mentioned, Cheng Lu became angry and asked Aunt He: "Where are you going?"
Aunt He said slowly and with a smile: "I and Yu'er are also going to Mu Jinzhai."
"What are you going to do?" Cheng Luzhi asked with raised eyebrows.
In fact, Aunt He didn't want to go to Mujinzhai. She just heard from her servants that Cheng Lu had passed away, so she asked someone to guard her. As soon as Cheng Lu left Mujinzhai, they pretended to meet by chance and found out the truth.
"Hey..."
Aunt He said with some embarrassment: "Miss San just now suddenly told Yu'er that she wanted some of the things she had given to Yu'er before..."
"It's not anything else. The main reason is that after many years, some things cannot be found. I plan to come over and talk to the third lady first to see if I can wait a little longer so that I can look for it."
"Ignore her!"
Cheng Luzhi spoke directly: "What an unreasonable thing! She will only be happy if the mess in the house is turned upside down!"
"But……"
Aunt He pondered and spoke carefully: "What the third lady wants is the late wife's relic, and it is also her filial piety..."
"snort!"
Cheng Luzhi became even more angry: "What filial piety! You always arrange a good name for her! If you are really filial, how can you give her biological mother's relics to others at will? Besides! She has already given those things to Yu'er, so why give them to others?
Is there any reason to take it back?!”
"But……"
Aunt He wanted to say something more, but Cheng Luzhi interrupted directly: "No need to say that! If she yells again, just say it was my intention!"
Aunt He quickly exchanged glances with Cheng Siyu, and Cheng Siyu hurriedly lowered his head before suppressing the almost unconcealable pride.
"But it just so happens..." Cheng Luzhi continued: "I also have something to tell you and arrange it well."
"Master, just give me your orders." Aunt He looked like a helpful wife.
"In three days there will be a feast of hundreds of flowers."
Cheng Luzhi just spoke, and Aunt He said with a smile: "Why does the master need to give this special order? It seems that I am ignorant..."
Aunt He seemed not to notice the two dark clouds on Cheng Luzhi's brows, and continued to talk: "Don't worry, sir, this year Yu'er's clothes for the Hundred Flowers Banquet have been ordered, and she has found the most famous tailor in Ningdu City...
"
Cheng Luzhi looked at Aunt He and hesitated to speak, but Aunt He continued: "Our Yu'er is so gentle and generous and well-read in poetry and books, we will definitely become the focus of the banquet."
Cheng Luzhi naturally knew this. He smiled bitterly in his heart, paused and continued: "Yu'er doesn't have to go to this Hundred Flowers Banquet."
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Aunt He was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Cheng Luzhi: "Sir... what did you say? Yu'er won't go? Why?"
Cheng Siyu also said anxiously: "Dad, are you kidding Yu'er?"
Cheng Luzhi sighed: "Prince Rui came over just now and personally conveyed the decree, saying that if you participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet this time, you must be... your first wife and your legitimate daughter."
"What, how could it be? Aren't my mother and I able to go in the past years? Why this year..." Cheng Siyu couldn't hold his breath and blurted out.
The words "first wife and legitimate daughter" made Aunt He feel like she was struck by lightning.
At first he was in disbelief, but then he quickly reacted and hurriedly interrupted Cheng Siyu's unspoken words: "Yu'er, don't be unreasonable!"
Then he immediately returned to his usual low-key manner and said to Cheng Luzhi:
"Then...I understand...there are still three days. I think that's enough time for the tailor to change the clothes according to Miss Third's size. Don't worry, I will make arrangements."
I saw tears welling up in Aunt He's eyes when she spoke, looking like I felt pity for her.
