Chapter 186, the four girls who are very good at acting
A corner of the inner garden of Zhengyuanhou Mansion is a very remote place.
Far away from the ruins after the fire, Yu Lanyun sat alone in the pavilion, leaning against the pillar behind him, staring in the direction of the ruins in a daze.
There were no maids around to wait on her, she was alone.
Suddenly there were footsteps in the distance, and Yu Lanyun, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up, immediately picked up the embroidery booth in front of him, and started embroidering seriously.
This was the man assigned to the third room. There were few servants in the third room and they were too busy. She, the fourth girl, could only pick up and make part of it herself.
Originally, when the uncle was here, the second wife was not so bullying. Even if grandma didn't like the third wife, there was no way she would treat her like this.
But the eldest uncle is dead, the eldest aunt is also dead, and the second sister is gone. Now only Yu Chengxuan is left in the first house. But what can a sick child do? Yu Lanyun disagrees very much.
The sound of footsteps came, and it sounded like it was not just one person. Yu Lanyun frowned, but did not raise his head. He continued to embroider the peony patterns in his hands seriously. This was the second aunt specially asked her mother to speed up the embroidery. This batch of embroidery
Many of them were assigned to the third room, and Yu Lanyun had a vague guess.
The steps stopped, and Yu Lanyun seemed to hear the sound. He raised his head and looked at the girl standing against the light. The needle in his hand suddenly stopped.
The girl in front of me is standing in front of the pavilion. She has a beautiful face. When she raises her eyes, her eyes are like water. She seems to have a lot of tenderness when she looks at people, but if she looks closely, she feels that it is not tenderness. Her smile is light and cold, not that...
Easy to approach.
The three girls of Xuanpinghou Mansion.
Yu Lanyun stood up in a hurry after being stunned, put down the embroidery in her hands, bowed sideways, and called out timidly, with a very uneasy look on her face: "Sister."
She didn't dare to call her too close. Compared to others, Yu Lanyun was more clearly aware of the gap between the two. Even if the girl in front of her did not have the title of county princess, she was actually more prosperous than the second sister in her family.
, not much different.
It doesn't matter if he has the same surname and the same clan. This person has royal blood, which is unmatched by other members of the Yu clan.
If it weren't for Princess An and the eldest princess not being close to her son, several members of the Xuanping Hou Mansion could actually ask the palace for the position of county head.
When she first saw the third girl Yu at the funeral hall of the second sister, she also wanted to find a way to express her closeness. However, after seeing that the eldest sister's closeness was also treated coldly, Yu Lanyun calmed down. It was not something she could afford.
As the daughter of a concubine, even if she is a legitimate daughter, her status is far inferior to that of real legitimate daughters, not to mention the second sister, even the eldest sister and the third sister.
In this Zhengyuanhou Mansion, the lives of the third bedroom are getting worse and worse.
"Sister Yun, are you embroidering?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and bent over to look at her embroidery.
Yu Lanyun stepped back nervously: "The embroidery is not good, it makes the clan girls laugh."
"The embroidery is so good, how can you laugh! Sister Yun, is this a dowry embroidered for yourself?" Yu Xijiao asked jokingly, picking up the peony pattern and looking at it.
Yu Lanyun's face turned red and she shook her head hurriedly: "No, the second aunt asked us to embroider this... yes... the eldest sister wanted it!"
"It turns out to be the elder girl's embroidery." Yu Xijiao's face turned cold, and she handed the embroidery back to Yu Lanyun, and sat down at the fence, "Sister Yun, sit down too, let's talk."
Yu Lanyun didn't really want to sit down, but Yu Xijiao had already sat down. If she didn't sit down, it would be like looking down at Yu Xijiao from above. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down.
"Does Sister Yun know about my eldest sister?" As soon as she sat down, Yu Xijiao said straight to the point. She knew that the Yu Lanyun in front of her was not really as weak and helpless as she saw now.
"I heard about this." Such a big thing happened. Yu Lanxue broke his head. Now everyone in the house knows that Yu Lanxue wants to cancel the engagement. Yu Lanyun can't pretend to know nothing.
.
After she said this, she glanced at Yu Xijiao timidly, as if to see if she was angry.
Yu Zhuqing is also timid. She was raised by Qian to be too kind and timid, but her timidity is different from that played by Yu Lanyun. If she was really timid, she would not look at people secretly, nor would she act as if she was caught.
She looked at a loss. Compared to Yu Lanyun, the eldest sister is a truly honest person.
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and looked around: "Why is there no one else waiting on Sister Yun?"
"There are a lot of things going on in the house, so everyone is busy. I don't have anything to do here anyway, so I don't have anyone following me." Yu Lanyun replied softly.
"This flower is well embroidered." Yu Xijiao suddenly reached out and picked up the embroidery, turned it around, and said with a pointed smile.
Yu Lanyun was actually in a state of panic. Yu Xijiao's words often sounded interesting to one thing or another, but the next thing she said was not, making her confused and very uneasy.
"If you don't embroider well, just embroider casually." Yu Lanyun said like a mosquito.
"This embroidery is not good, so what kind of embroidery is good? Among the girls in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, the fourth girl should be the best at embroidery, right?"
Yu Xijiao guessed.
This is true. Although Yu Lanyun is the youngest, she is indeed the best embroiderer among the girls in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. Now hearing Yu Xijiao say this, she can't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Actually... everyone is about the same
of."
"Sister Yun, we are sisters of the same race. We don't have to be so uptight. I may come to disturb you from time to time in the future. If Sister Yun is always so uptight, I don't dare to come."
Yu Xi said with a delicate smile, her watery eyes were no longer as distant as before, and they looked very approachable.
"Clan...clan sister!" Yu Lanyun didn't expect Yu Xijiao to say this. She stuttered, her eyes became excited, and she held on to the fence and wanted to stand up.
Yu Xijiao shook her hand, indicating that she didn't have to be like this: "Sister Yun knows who my eldest sister is, right?"
"Sister Dazu is a very good person. Although she doesn't talk much, she has the best temperament. She has been like this since she was young. When we sisters were noisy, even if we bumped into Sister Dazu, she wouldn't say anything.
He even picks up people who have fallen to the ground."
Yu Lanyun could see that Yu Xijiao was very protective of Yu Zhuqing, so naturally she said the nicest things, but these were also the truth.
The two mansions are close together, and the girls in the two mansions are of the same age, and they have access to the side door, which is very convenient. They indeed grew up playing together when they were young.
But later on, Yu Zhuqing was increasingly detained by the Qian family, and when she arrived at the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, she became less and less seen.
"Eldest sister is such a good person, but she was almost framed and lost her reputation. Not to mention, she might not even be able to save her life." Yu Xijiao snorted coldly, and her face darkened.
Yu Lanyun found that Miss Yu, who just now made people feel like she was full of water, immediately became a bit evil. Her delicate little face tensed up tightly, with an astonishing aura.
"I...we...Second Aunt..." Yu Lanyun quickly rolled up the handkerchief in her hand, thinking about how to get out of this matter.
This matter is the matter of the second bedroom and has nothing to do with their third bedroom.
"I know this matter is Mrs. Ning's business and has nothing to do with Sister Yun's family." Yu Xijiao said softly.
"Yes... yes, this matter has nothing to do with the third room. The second aunt and her family are the ones who make the decisions in the house now. We... we actually... don't know anything." Yu Lanyun's face was bitter, her eyes were reddish, and she sighed lowly,
He lowered his head and said, "My eldest aunt and my second sister are gone. It would be great if they were still here..."
"Sister Yun hopes that Mrs. Zhengyuanhou and the county prince are here?" Yu Xijiao asked after looking at her deeply.
Yu Lanyun nodded and looked up in the direction of the burning ruins: "Who would have thought that eldest aunt and second sister... would actually have such a thing happen? Who would have thought that... it would be like this."
Tears fell down as he spoke, and he hurriedly reached out and took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it at the corners of his eyes.
"Sister Yun, if you are given a chance, will you save them?" Yu Xijiao suddenly asked softly, her voice was very slow, almost vomiting out every word.
Yu Lanyun was shocked and looked at Yu Xijiao in disbelief, her body trembling slightly.
"Sister Yun, can you understand what I'm saying?" Yu Xijiao locked her eyes tightly with Yu Lanyun and continued to ask with a smile, but this smile felt a little more sad and angry in her heart.
"If...if I could have gotten up early, I would not have watched helplessly..." Yu Lanyun gritted his teeth and followed Yu Xijiao's words.
Yu Xijiao didn't allow her to finish her words, and directly interrupted her nonsense: "Sister Yun, I know you are willing, but your third wife is really powerless."
"Yes...yes, who made us the third bedroom? The most useless one in Zhengyuanhou's mansion is the third bedroom." Yu Lanyun shed tears again and sobbed.
"Sister Yun, do you know who is the least likely person in your house to have trouble with right now?" Yu Xijiao watched Yu Lanyun cry with cold eyes. She waited until she felt better before asking again, without any intention of comforting her.
Yu Lanyun did not dare to expect that the third girl Yu in front of her would be kind enough to comfort her. Until now, she still didn't know what Yu Xijiao was here for, and she always felt worried and had some bad guesses in her heart.
"I... I don't know... I know what the tribe sister means. Could you please clarify it for me?" Yu Lanyun opened her mouth and accepted the words with difficulty. Feeling anxious and uneasy, she kneaded out the handkerchief in her hand.
Got the trend.
"Sister Yun knows, it's just that Sister Yun doesn't want to say anything. Let's forget it. Now this matter is your Zhengyuanhou Mansion's business. Unfortunately, only one girl can be saved by your Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Yu Xi
Jiao stood up, looked at Yu Lanyun's crying, aggrieved and frightened face, then turned and left.
"If you have figured it out and you think you need my help with something, I can lend a helping hand. Seeing that your county prince once saved my life, I am still willing to lend a hand.
,Besides...they bullied my eldest sister too much!"
Yu Xijiao went out to the pavilion, and the maid followed closely.
Listening to her words that sounded like a sigh, Yu Lanyun in the pavilion felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar...
When Yu Xijiao returned to the front yard, the meeting in the front yard was not over yet. It should be said that after the prince of Qi came, it was not easy to end it, and it couldn't be over even if it wanted to be...
