"What's the matter? Tell me!" Seeing how well-behaved and cute his little daughter was, Yu Ruiwen's heart softened a little.
"Father, my eldest sister and I are going to pay homage to Mrs. Zhengyuanhou and Lord Lanxuan this time, but we are afraid... of causing another disturbance. I think Mrs. Ning... doesn't seem to be easy to mess with." Yu Xi
Jiao's voice was a little lower, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, feeling very uneasy.
These words only briefly mentioned Ning, but Yu Ruiwen suddenly remembered Ning's unkindness to her little daughter. When her little daughter spoke uprightly on the street, Ning's eyes were full of hatred.
Thinking again of what happened in the mansion, if there was no instigation, Qian might not have dared to do such a big thing. If this matter was known to others, it would be the matter of the entire Xuanping Hou Mansion. Even if Qian wanted to deal with her youngest daughter,
You shouldn’t come up with such a plan, Ning?
Thinking of this, Yu Ruiwen's face darkened, his smile faded, and he thought about stopping his younger daughter from going there with him: "You have already paid your respects, so let your eldest sister go alone for this matter!"
"Father, Mr. Lanxuan County has saved my life. I will never have the chance to repay you in this life. My daughter just wants to worship a few more times." Yu Xi said sadly, and blurted out worried words, "I don't know if Zheng
Will Mrs. Ning of Yuanhou Mansion still care about what I said on the street?"
When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Father, how about you let the second sister go to worship with us? The second sister is Mrs. Ning's cousin. With the second sister here, Mrs. Ning will definitely not cause any trouble, even if she is watching
For the sake of my second sister, she will also allow us to worship safely."
These words were too weak. Yu Ruiwen puffed out a breath from his chest and said angrily: "If a wife of the Marquis Mansion's branch dares to cause trouble, I will cut off her hand that caused the trouble. You go to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion and take more with you."
Some people, if she wants to cause trouble, you don't have to be afraid, her father is here."
"Father, this is not good. We are going to worship, not to make trouble. If Mrs. Ning takes advantage of this to speak out, she will probably say that father is bullying others. Father's reputation is important." Yu Xijiao shook her head.
, the raised eyes were filled with worry.
Yu Ruiwen was stunned. This was the first time that a child was so worried about his reputation. He couldn't help but reached out and touched Yu Xijiao's head: "Silly boy, your father's reputation is not important. If you wrong yourself for a false name, it will be even less important."
Well, my father doesn’t have a good reputation anyway.”
"Others don't care, but I do." Yu Xi's delicate watery eyes were filled with persistence.
"This child..." Yu Ruiwen felt hot in his heart. Only after his youngest daughter returned home did he realize how considerate it is to raise a daughter. Even such small details were more important to him than himself.
Yu Ruiwen didn't care at first, but the younger daughter cared so much that she felt warm and warm in her heart. If there were any doubts, she said, "Then take two less people there. If there is any trouble, come back and report it to your father.
Father is waiting for you to come back at the side door."
"Actually, father doesn't have to wait at the back door. As long as he finds a reason to take the elders to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion after we enter the house, it will be fine. If anything happens, father can also support us." Yu Xijiao.
Laughed.
"Okay!" Yu Ruiwen agreed immediately.
"Thank you, father!" Yu Xijiao asked for what she asked for, nodded with a smile, and then suggested, "Father, why don't you invite a few more clan elders to come over. If Mrs. Ning really gets into trouble, father will have to let the clan elders come over."
The people here can testify that it was not their father who bullied their orphans and widowed mothers, but it was them who started the trouble themselves."
"Okay... okay, it's all up to you!" Yu Ruiwen laughed loudly. Although he felt that it was not necessary and he didn't care so much about reputation, he could still appreciate his little daughter's kindness, since it was his daughter's share.
In my mind, as a father, I am...
When we went to Zhengyuanhou Mansion, we finally decided to go through the main entrance. Although we took a long detour, it looked much more formal, and it also made people know that Xuanpinghou Mansion respected the late Mrs. Zhengyuanhou and Lanxuan County Lord.
Yu Zhuqing and Yu Xijiao were both dressed in plain white clothes. They only wore a simple hairpin to pull up their hair. They also had very simple pearl earrings hanging on their ears. They looked extremely white.
The two carriages were going to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. In the front were two masters and two personal maids. In the carriage behind there were two maids, two women and some money for worship.
Things like paper figures and clothes to be burned.
The bright moon is among the two maids in the car behind.
The few people in the car behind were just maids and mothers-in-law who were just burning paper money.
The carriage came out from the gate of Xuanpinghou Mansion, then went around Zhengyuanhou Mansion, entered through the side door of Zhengyuanhou Mansion, and stopped at the parking lot of Zhengyuanhou Mansion.
Yu Lanxue had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Yu Zhuqing, who got off the car first, she came up to say hello warmly: "How is Sister Qing? I haven't seen her for a while. She looks pretty good."
"Sister clan." Yu Zhuqing bowed sideways.
Yu Lanxue was about to speak when she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Xijiao who was getting out of the carriage in astonishment. She asked, "This... why is sister Jiao here too?"
She originally thought that only Yu Zhuqing would come, but she didn't expect that Yu Xijiao would follow. She couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. With Yu Xijiao around, this matter might not be so easy to handle.
At that time in the mourning hall, Yu Xijiao looked a little lukewarm, making people unpredictable.
"I've met clan sister." Yu Xijiao smiled and stepped forward to salute.
"Did Sister Jiao come here with Sister Qing?" Yu Lanxue looked at Yu Xijiao curiously and asked gently. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, and she even showed it a few times.
He was overjoyed and said, "If I had known that my sweet sister would come, I would have prepared more sacrifices here."
"Mr. Lanxuan County is my savior. There is no way I can repay my life-saving grace. If I have the opportunity to pay homage to the County Lord, I must do it without any hesitation. As for the sacrifices, we have prepared a lot of them. Sister Bu Lao is concerned about it." Yu Xijiao
He said with a slight smile.
At this time, several maids also jumped out of the carriage behind them. The mother-in-law took a lot of sacrifices from the carriage, and after a while, a lot of them were placed on the ground.
Yu Lanxue's eyes narrowed, but then she smiled and reached out to take Yu Xijiao's hand: "Sister Jiao is indeed a person who values love and justice."
Yu Xijiao turned around calmly and happened to avoid Yu Lanxue's hand: "Sister, we will go in first. We will talk about other things later. The matter of worship is the most important."
"That's what Third Sister said." Yu Zhuqing nodded and bowed sideways to Yu Lanxue again: "Sister Youlao is leading the way."
"You two sisters, you are welcome. Please come with me." Yu Lanxue smiled slightly and led the two people inside. Several maids from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and the mother-in-law came forward to help lift the sacrifices placed on the ground.
.
They walked all the way around and finally stopped in front of a courtyard. Yu Lanxue said: "Two sisters, the big mourning hall has been demolished. Grandma misses the second sister and eldest aunt, so she specially set up this small mourning hall.
"
As he said this, he was about to lead people inside.
"Sister, is this a place where sundries are placed?" Yu Xijiao didn't move, looked around in surprise, and asked, "Or did Mrs. Zhengyuan Hou and the county prince live in a place like this in the past?"
"This is grandma's newly decorated small mourning hall." Yu Lanxue said softly.
In fact, it was a place that was just decorated yesterday, specially prepared for Yu Zhuqing. There were two spiritual tablets and an incense burner in it, but there was actually nothing there.
"Mrs. Mrs. Yu's newly decorated small mourning hall? Sister clan actually doesn't need it. We just need to go to the place where Mrs. An and the county king lived to worship." Yu Xijiao shook her head and had no intention of going in.
"This..." Yu Lanxue hesitated.
"Sister clan, is it possible that you have repopulated these two places?" Yu Xi's watery eyes raised, with a look of surprise on her face, "How long has it been... you have already occupied Madam Zhengyuan Hou and Lord Lanxuan County
The yard? Does Prince Zhengyuan know about this?"
"How... is this possible!" Yu Lanxue said hurriedly.
Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand and patted her chest gently: "That's good, that's good. I thought your house didn't understand the rules. You didn't even ask for the yard of the county prince who was personally named by the current emperor. Only then did you take it for yourself.
In a few days, even if we really want to use these two courtyards, we will have to get the consent of Prince Zhengyuan after a year and a half."
"Yes! It must be so!" Yu Lanxue calmed down the anger in her heart and smiled.
In fact, they were already preparing to occupy these two courtyards. Yu Xijiao said this, but they did not dare to act rashly. Zhengyuan Hou Mansion has been in the spotlight recently, and its previous good reputation has also been ruined. Yu Lan
Xue understands that it is more important to treasure feathers at this time.
At least she can't touch these two yards until she succeeds.
Yu Lanxue made up her mind, so she did not refuse and took the two of them to Yu Lanxuan's yard first.
Pushing open the ajar door and looking at everything familiar in the past, Yu Xijiao's eyes were filled with soreness, and then she clenched her fists hard before slowly relaxing.
She is no longer who she was before, and everything she once had, she hopes, is completely different from what she had in her dreams...
After entering the yard, they worshiped directly in the yard. Yu Xijiao didn't mention anything else this time, which made Yu Lanxue breathe a sigh of relief.
After paying homage to Yu Lanxuan, Yu Lanxue took the two clan girls to the courtyard where the An clan used to live. The whole courtyard looked quite neat, just like it was when the An clan was still there, but there was only one person in the courtyard.
The woman who was guarding the gate was in the same courtyard as Yu Lanxuan just now, and the other servants had left early.
After setting down the incense table and burning the sacrifices, Yu Lanxue knelt down and worshiped with the two clan girls. Seeing her sincerity, she finally kowtowed a few times before helping the maid to stand up.
"You two sisters, come with me to the living room to rest for a while." Yu Lanxue invited softly. Calculating the time, her mother's side should have made arrangements. Just now, a maid had secretly reported to her that the person from the criminal palace
The young master has already arrived and is currently worshiping in the mourning hall that was built yesterday.
The sacrifices were almost burnt. When the wind blew by, the unburned paper money was suddenly blown forward. Yu Xijiao went to pick up some scraps in person and moved towards the main room while picking them up. Regarding Yu Lanxue's words
Turn a deaf ear.
"Sister Jiao, let the maid take care of these things. Please come with me." Yu Lanxue was unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. Her voice was a little higher, and she spoke directly to Yu Xijiao.
"Wait a minute, what is this?" Yu Xijiao suddenly stopped and her face darkened.
