Chapter 515: This Palace is Enough
Taishi Hua finally withdrew from Hua Youmei's marriage because she was suffering from a serious illness that was difficult to cure. Dong Yujin expressed his willingness to wait, but Taishi was resolute and had no choice but to give up.
The old lady Li became seriously ill after she came back. When others learned that Hua Youmei was ill, they couldn't help but sigh. They remembered that she had been out for more than half a year, so she must have been sick for a long time. She wanted to visit but was rejected by the grand master.
As the sister-in-law of the Wen family, the Dong family had to care more about her sister-in-law. Her proposal to send things to Hua Youmei's place was rejected, but she slowly tasted the taste and suspected that Hua Youmei had done something wrong and was given up by the grand master.
I dare not mention it again.
It was gradually spread outside that when the legitimate daughter of the Hua family was about to get married, she contracted a serious illness and was sent away to recuperate.
After her daughter committed such a scandal, not only did the old lady become ill, but the grand master also felt depressed for a while, blaming himself for not educating the children enough, and focusing his attention on the third generation.
As the eldest daughter, Mingyue's performance satisfied the Grand Master. With the token that she could enter the palace at any time to read the classics, Mingyue didn't go there often. She asked the Grand Master to invite her husband to practice martial arts for her, and she also took her younger brothers and sisters to learn together.
Although they are a group of little ones, there is a strong learning atmosphere with Mingyue as a role model. The children and grandchildren are very happy to be promoted to the Grand Master.
The old lady's illness slowly recovered under the careful care of her two daughters-in-law. When she saw the girl her daughter had given birth to, she was now the second wife's concubine Hua Jiaoyue. Yes, the heroine's name had not changed.
Although the child was young, she looked like a beautiful young girl. She had a rouge mole between her eyebrows, which added to her charm. From then on, Mrs. Li placed her love for her daughter on her and directly asked for Hua Jiao to be given to her.
Yue took her to her side and taught her personally.
Aunt Huang finally got a daughter. Although she was not her biological child, she took her to her side and raised her after her own mother died. As long as she treats her as her own, the child will definitely respect her in the future and take care of her in every possible way.
Unexpectedly, the old lady wanted to cut her off and take the child away. Unfortunately, she was too quiet and did not dare to say anything, but it was Mingyue who spoke.
"If grandma likes my sister, let Aunt Huang often bring her to greet her. You are old and seriously ill, so how can you have the energy to take care of such a young child?"
This statement was reasonable and well-founded, and even Mrs. Li could not refute it. After an illness, she indeed felt that she was not as good as before, and it was indeed difficult to take care of her child after a few months.
Aunt Huang hurriedly said, "It is a blessing for the old lady to like the third girl. I will take good care of her and will often bring her to greet the old lady in the future."
Children grow up very fast, and three years passed in the blink of an eye. Mingyue led her younger brothers and sisters to learn literature and martial arts, and Washington was bustling every day.
This does not include Hua Jiaoyue, who can already walk and speak. Although she is a concubine, she is loved by an old lady, and her food and clothing expenses are no worse than those of a legitimate daughter.
Aunt Huang was secretly happy. Everyone in the house believed that her daughter was a concubine. Fortunately, the old ladies and gentlemen in the house were enlightened and did not suppress concubines. The beautiful appearance of the daughter she adopted was very similar to Hua Youmei. There were old ladies watching.
There will definitely be a good future in the future.
She was sent to accompany the old lady almost every day, and sometimes the old lady would stay with Haoyue. The people who served around her knew that the old lady loved the third young lady who was a concubine, and they did not dare to neglect her.
Although Hua Jiaoyue was young, she knew how to please the old lady. She often came over before dawn to say hello, and usually she would pick up the old lady's favorite words and coax her.
Every time she saw her face, Ms. Li felt that it was her young daughter Hua Youmei who was fulfilling her filial piety by her side, which made her feel happy and sad at the same time.
His longing for his daughter became stronger day by day, and he finally couldn't help but plead to the Grand Master, "Master, three years have passed by, isn't it time to let Youmei come back?"
The Grand Master paused and asked, "What are you doing after you take her back to the village?"
Mrs. Li burst into tears without saying anything, "I know the child did something wrong, but she has also been punished. Are you going to let her die of old age in that village in her life?"
The Grand Master was angry at the time, but as time went by, he finally softened his heart. After all, his daughter was a parent, so how could any parent not worry about their children? He sighed secretly.
Seeing that he was a little soft-hearted, Mrs. Li added: "Master, now that you and I are getting older, we may close our eyes and leave one day. I don't want to die without seeing my daughter for the last time. Please pick up the child."
come back!"
The Grand Master frowned, "It's easy to bring him back, but... that's all. We just say to the outside world that this child is destined to be a Buddha. He wants to be a layman at home and is not suitable for marriage."
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, "I'm so cruel, my young beauty is as beautiful as time. You want her to stay unmarried for the rest of her life."
"Huh, what do you want me to do? She has made a big mistake. She has already given birth to a child. How can I have the nerve to marry her off?" He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.
Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Master, why are you so pedantic? I know I have a good reputation. We can bring her back quietly. You and I will carefully select her to marry out of town. There will always be someone willing to send her a lot of dowry."
"What do you want me to say about you?" He complained, but in fact he agreed in his heart. It's just that the Grand Master is an upright person, and this kind of behavior is deception. It's okay to hide it, but if you can't hide it from yourself, there will be no room for his old face.
"My daughter has a bad reputation for being born out of wedlock. It has not been exposed after all. At worst, it will be announced that she has died of illness, and we will take her back quietly. We only say that she is a distant niece of my mother's family. She has been widowed in youth and has no one to rely on. We will find a good job after a while."
Getting married is also easy." Mrs. Li came up with another good idea.
This time the Grand Master was moved and sighed, "What can parents do if a debt collector is born? That's all. Just wait until I make arrangements to take her back as you wish."
The master agreed, and Mrs. Li was overjoyed. From then on, she waited with peace of mind. As expected, not long after, the grand master announced that Hua Youmei was seriously ill and had to go.
Because she was an unmarried daughter, the funeral was very simple. The old lady also half-truthed that she was ill. Thinking that her biological daughter would become a distant niece in the future, this difference in status still aggrieved the child. She made up her mind to wait for the child to come back.
Make it up to her well.
Two months later, a blue cloth carriage quietly arrived in front of the Grand Master's residence, and a young girl got out.
Soon word spread in the house that the old lady's distant niece had come to join her. It was said that she had a similar appearance to the late Chinese youth beauty. The old lady liked her at first sight and announced that everyone would treat her as a legitimate daughter.
Mingyue had already received the news that Hua Youmei had been sent away, but her paper puppet had not been withdrawn. Knowing that the grand master and the old lady had arranged this trick, she thought it would be a good idea to come back.
Hua Youmei is selfish and vicious, and she has harmed many people in the plot. It is really cheaper for her to stay in the village for the rest of her life, and she can slowly clean up things after returning to the house.
After Mingyue finished her exercises, she went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes, then she walked slowly to Jing'an Hall. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard a burst of laughter and laughter inside, making it very lively.
The girl at the door saw the bright moon coming and hurriedly opened the curtain, "The eldest girl is here." This eldest daughter is the most favored in the house.
Mingyue stood still and smiled, "Sister Izumo, it's so lively in here, are there any guests?"
The second-class maid, Izumo, said hurriedly, "Back to you, eldest lady, it's the old lady's niece who is here."
Mingyue looked puzzled, "Grandma's niece?"
Izumo whispered, "She is the daughter of an old lady's concubine. She was widowed just after getting married, and she came to seek refuge with no one to rely on."
