Chapter 73: Opportunity
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? I came here yesterday and you were fine, weren't you? It's only been a day, why did you fall ill?"
Ms. Liao hurriedly walked into Concubine Liao's house and saw her lying on the bed with a white towel covering her forehead. She was humming with her eyes closed. When she heard her niece's voice, she opened her eyes and said calmly: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry.
I can't die."
Mrs. Qian stepped forward and whispered to Mrs. Liao: "The prince has just arrived."
"Oh." Mrs. Liao understood: Auntie was obviously doing this for her cousin. As she sat down by the bed, she whispered: "Auntie is sick, what did cousin say? He really let the mother and daughter
Are you going to live in the backyard?"
"Don't mention him to me."
Concubine Liao sat up with a huff and said angrily: "I was pregnant for ten months and worked hard to give birth to a baby. I held it in my hands and held it in my mouth like a baby. Finally, he got older day by day. Watching him start a family and start a business, with children around his knees.
I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about it in this life, but in the end, I ended up with a white-eyed wolf, which made me so angry, so angry."
"Auntie, don't say that. My cousin was obviously good before, but it was all because of this bitch Xin Nian. Ever since she left Qingliang Pavilion, so many things have happened, but for some reason, my cousin felt like he was fascinated by her.
She went to her house every day, but she became more and more bold. No one in the whole family dared to mess with the mother and daughter, but she dared, and her cousin actually still followed her. If this continues, in the future
Maybe something terrible will happen, we have to find a way to beat her up."
Concubine Liao panted heavily, her eyes flickered, and sometimes she showed a hint of ferocity. After a long while, she said in a deep voice: "The crux is not her. Your cousin has not seen her in the past few years. It can be seen that she is not fascinated. She
After so many years in Qingliang Pavilion, why did you suddenly come out? Have you ever thought about this? "
Mrs. Liao shook her head blankly, and Mrs. Liao laughed at herself and said to Mrs. Qian: "Look at my niece, you can see that she is really spoiled. She is still kept in the dark about this. That's all, I'm tired now.
, it’s better if you go back and think about it carefully, and when you have thought about it, you will have a way to deal with it, otherwise you can just let your hard thoughts work, I can do the first grade for you, but I can’t do the fifteenth grade for you.”
Ms. Liao: ...What did you do for me in the first year of junior high school? Ms. Qin has become a princess, so this is the first year of junior high school, okay?
After saying goodbye sadly, Qian sent her out, and she asked, "What's wrong with my aunt today? Normally she wouldn't talk to me like this."
Qian said softly: "Aunt Qin and her daughter came back. The concubine complained to the prince, but the prince refused to give in. The concubine is distressed."
Mrs. Liao said: "I understand this, but the two of them can't stir up any trouble. Now Xin Nian is standing in front of them. Without this person, how can they be manipulated? Is it worth worrying about this? Are you talking about me again?
Being kept in the dark, what am I kept in the dark about?”
Qian said: "I don't understand this either, but I have often heard the concubine say these days that Liu Zai and Yaya are the children who are the most like the prince when he was a child. It's no wonder that the prince feels friendly when he sees them."
Madam Liao suddenly stopped, her expression changing. After a long while, she took a deep breath and said to Madam Qian: "Okay, I understand. You don't have to send me away. Go back and take care of my aunt."
After saying that, he left the courtyard gate and did not return to his own courtyard. He just wandered aimlessly on the bluestone roads everywhere. Guizhi asked a few questions, but she didn't answer, so Guizhi didn't dare to ask anymore.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the princess is not in good condition. When we play cards, we often fall short of three. Now it's great that you can fill this gap. Don't worry, our ancestors are very kind people. They are not as strict as the princess.
harsh."
It was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was already a hint of autumn in the backyard of Prince Duan's Mansion. Gu Yunxiang was wearing a lotus-colored cloak, and Xin Nian took her hand and came to Shouning Palace.
The third girl was a little uneasy, but she also knew that this was the only way to change her destiny. Xin Nian was willing to give her such an opportunity, which was already a great kindness. If she was blindly afraid, she would still be cooped up with her mother as before.
What's the difference between that and the walking dead in the house? Therefore, she must seize this opportunity and gradually become the real third girl of the Gu family.
After arriving at the concubine's room, after bowing, Xin Nian smiled and said, "The autumn breeze is really refreshing. My ancestor seems to be more energetic than me."
The old lady smiled and said: "I didn't feel cold when I got up this morning, so I asked them to open the window for a while. Did you see the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in my yard? It's blooming well, but the second best thing is the flower.
The fragrance is refreshing and refreshing."
Xin Nian smiled and said: "Who wouldn't admire such a big sweet-scented osmanthus? I was a little embarrassed at first, but since my ancestors said it, I want to ask for a favor. The kitchen is currently making food with sweet-scented osmanthus as its raw material, and it has been pickled.
I have made several jars, but I feel that the taste is not as good as the one in my ancestor’s courtyard. Why don’t you show mercy and let them come and pick some later? It’s not in vain. In the future, whether it’s for making sweet-scented osmanthus cake or sweet-scented osmanthus wine.
, I will honor you first, and we will follow suit, how about you?"
The old concubine pointed at Xin Nian and said to the people next to her: "Listen, is this abacus accurate? She offered me a plate of osmanthus cake, but asked me to put it on an osmanthus tree that was in bloom. Fortunately, you are here
In this courtyard, if you marry into a merchant family, everyone in the world will be plotted by you."
Everyone immediately burst into laughter. After they finished laughing, the old concubine looked at Gu Yunxiang and muttered: "This is... the third girl, right? I remember seeing her a few times in the past years. Later, she said she was not feeling well. I haven't been here for more than a year."
Saw her."
Gu Yunxiang then stepped forward and saluted and said, "Greetings to our ancestors."
"Well..." The old concubine looked at Gu Yunxiang and nodded slowly: "You are looking more and more like a grown-up girl. How old are you this year?"
"Back to my ancestors, I am sixteen this year."
The old concubine seemed to have remembered something, and sighed: "Yes, you are only sixteen, more than ten years younger than Changting. Speaking of which, you are Yan Hui's daughter. I remember that he used to regard you as the apple of his eye.
Average.”
Gu Yunxiang thought of his father, his nose became sore, and tears fell down. He choked and said, "Yes. My father was very good to me. He also said that he would bring me specialties from the north. I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
"Okay, don't cry." Xin Nian helped Gu Yunxiang sit down on the chair and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Our house has been miserable for two months. Finally, our ancestors have been in better spirits these past two days.
I won’t mention the sad things.”
"good."
Gu Yunxiang obediently agreed. Seeing that the atmosphere here had turned gloomy, Xin Nian proposed a game of cards. The other servants also looked at her and when they heard her order, they all went to prepare.
