From the first meeting, to the hints in the words, to the last words the maid went to the yard to pass to him, now that he has come here, the tea is scalding hot, and the cakes are warm, Yu Xijiao comes faster, faster than her
previous expectations.
Is everything really prepared in advance?
Yu Lanyun looked at Yu Xijiao's eyes changed, and shuddered unconsciously. She didn't dare to guess any more. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and her palms were full of sweat.
Is this younger clan girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion as wise as a demon?
Biting her lips, Yu Lanyun asked tentatively: "Clan...clan sister...what do you think I should choose now?"
"Sister, who else could you choose besides me? Maybe you think Mrs. Ning?" Yu Xijiao looked at her coldly and said after a while.
Yu Lanyun shivered cleverly, and stood up suddenly while holding the table in fright: "Clan... Clan sister, I... I don't know what you said?"
"If you choose Mrs. Ning, I'm afraid that your death will not be far away for everyone in this house." Yu Xijiao said softly.
Yu Lanyun's face changed drastically, and he looked at Yu Xijiao in horror. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"Of course I make Mrs. Ning unhappy. It would be best if you could get rid of me. Even if you can't get rid of me, it would be best if I can't bear it. But what about the clan sister? What will happen to the clan sister who acts as a bait? What will happen if the clan sister acts as a bait?
The cause of my accident was still you. Sister, do you think my father will let you go? Taking a step back, even if my father didn't do anything, where is my grandmother? It's about the royal family, can the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion afford it?"
It’s about the royal family. Can the Marquis Mansion afford it?
Yu Lanyun was shocked by this sentence and remained silent for a long time. His eyes lowered and he looked at the table in front of him calmly, but he was no longer crying like before.
She had heard these words just now. Because of these words, the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion was inexplicably put under supervision. Even Ning and the second uncle were unable to do anything. Yu Lanxue wanted to go out, but she could only stay in the mansion.
Here, everything is held in place, just for this sentence.
The royal family has always been an existence that she has to look up to.
The same goes for royal blood.
Yu Lanyun once again felt the difference between her and Yu Xijiao. It didn't matter that they were both daughters of the Yu family. One was an ordinary daughter of the Yu family, but the other was of royal blood and was born to respect them.
"If... if I choose the clan girl, what benefits will it bring?" Yu Lanyun gritted his teeth, raised his eyes and looked directly at Yu Xijiao.
"Let Sanfang be the master of the house." Yu Xijiao smiled, knowing that the heat was on, so she threw out the bait.
"Impossible!" Yu Lanyun retorted fiercely.
"Why is it impossible?" Yu Xijiao said lightly.
Yu Lanyun took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and looked straight at Yu Xijiao's face: "The second uncle is my grandmother's biological son, my only biological son. The eldest uncle's family is gone.
Naturally, the second uncle’s family makes the decision, so why should my parents make the decision?”
This is simply impossible. Yu Lanyun had this idea, but did not dare to go in this direction.
"Since you are also the third bedroom of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, as long as the second bedroom is here, you, the third bedroom, must be there, otherwise Mrs. Yu will not be able to convince everyone." Yu Xi smiled tenderly. The more intense Yu Lanyun's reaction was, the more concerned she was and the most important thing.
have a thought.
Yu Lanyun held the handkerchief and sat down slowly. She once again calmed down her heart palpitations, her voice became a little hoarse, and she smiled miserably: "My father is just a bastard."
The word "嫡子" is as big as the sky, and the existence of "bastard" is just a decoration.
"Don't worry, even if you make trouble in the house, Mrs. Yu won't be able to separate you." Yu Xijiao's eyes darkened, and she stretched out a slender finger and shook it in front of Yu Lanyun, "Without you.
, why is the second wife still here? Besides, if something happens to Mrs. Ning, wouldn’t it be your mother’s turn to be in charge of the house?”
"Ning...will something happen to Mrs. Ning?" Yu Lanyun's heart was up and down, and she gritted her teeth and said, her voice sounded like crying and laughing at the same time, and she squeezed her hands tightly into her palms. She also hated Mrs. Ning.
"Why not? She is also a person and committed crimes. Even Yu Zhongyang and your eldest brother were beaten. Why not Mrs. Ning?" Yu Xijiao smiled, with a cold smile, "This world has always been about karma and retribution.
Yes, what was sown in the beginning will be what it bears now.”
Yu Lanyun stretched her hands hard and lowered her head slightly. It was obvious that she was hesitating.
Yu Xijiao did not interrupt Yu Lanyun's contemplation. She picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, put it down, took the pastry handed over by Qingyue, took a bite, and nodded. The pastry was slightly warm and just right in the mouth.
Tea and pastries were always prepared and replaced when they cooled down a bit. No matter when Yu Lanyun came over, the tea would always be hot and the pastries would always be freshly delivered.
"Okay, I choose you!" Yu Lanyun finally finished thinking, raised his head to look at Yu Xijiao, and gritted his teeth hard.
"Sister clan, drink tea first." Yu Xijiao picked up the teapot, added a little water for Yu Lanyun, and pushed the teacup in front of her with a smile. She elegantly picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, smiling brightly.
Just this calm and calm look made Yu Lanyun feel at peace because of his decision to momentarily go blank.
"Clan sister... aren't you afraid?" She asked subconsciously, inexplicably feeling that Yu Xijiao looked a bit familiar. She had only seen such a calm and calm look on her second sister.
"Are you afraid, Sister Clan?" Yu Xijiao asked.
Yu Lanyun pressed her chest subconsciously, her heart beating wildly, and faintly palpitating: "I'm afraid... the second aunt will know, and then we... none of us will be able to escape. The second aunt is the clan sister of Concubine Ning, and her relationship...
very good."
Yu Xijiao smiled and fluttered her long eyelashes twice: "Just because of this...does it become their stepping stone? It is impossible to separate the family, but if it is to leave her life, Mrs. Ning may
like very much."
Yu Lanyun was startled. Separate the family? This is what the third room of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion has always thought about, but there is nothing he can do. Inexplicable sadness wells up in his heart. With Mrs. Yu suppressing her, who would care about the third room of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and the concubine's family?
In such a situation, even a person of noble birth like the second sister would not have ended up like that without the background of Duke An Guo.
With sadness in his eyes, he asked subconsciously: "Why...why would you think of helping me?"
If everything was planned by this weak clan girl in front of her, Yu Lanyun didn't feel the need to refuse, but she needed a real reason.
Yu Xijiao chuckled and said: "For Lord Lanxuan, Lord Lanxuan is my savior. I am returning to Beijing this time just to repay my kindness."
"But... but the second sister was... an accident." Yu Lanyun stuttered.
"So what? What happened to Prince Xin Kangbo and Yu Lanyan shouldn't be an accident, right?" Yu Xijiao sneered, the smile on her lips was very beautiful, but also extremely cold.
Yu Lanyun froze for a moment. Yu Xijiao's words didn't sound very reasonable, but the meaning behind them was enough to shock and move people. If Yu Lanxuan was still here, she would definitely be with the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion in front of her.
We became close friends, but now Yu Lanxuan is no longer there!
When he opened his mouth, Yu Lanyun didn't know what he was going to say and couldn't spit out even a single word.
Yu Xijiao raised a cold smile: "Sister, look at the sky above the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. It's so dark that it seems like it's shrouded in some innocent soul. Although Lord Lanxuan is gone, I can't tolerate the happy life of that man and woman.
Everything we live in belongs to the county prince, and they don’t deserve it!”
The contempt in the last two words had some inexplicable hostility, and even vaguely suggested blood. Yu Lanyun was shocked. The Yu Xijiao in front of her was clearly just a weak and slender girl. Her face was too delicate.
At first glance, people would only feel the beauty of the girl in front of them, but now it makes people feel strange and dangerous.
"I...I believe you!" Yu Lanyun finally found his voice.
"Tell me, what did Mrs. Ning ask you to do?" Yu Xijiao smiled, the corners of her lips raised, her attitude gentle, as if she was talking about someone else's business, "How does she want to plot against me?"
"Ning Qing." Yu Lanyun said. After saying his name, he realized that it was not that difficult to say it.
"Are you using Ning Qing to plot against me?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyes with great calmness.
"The second aunt asked me to ask you for help, saying that she wanted to make a marriage for me, a very ugly marriage. I don't want to. I want to send a message to a young man who is Zhongqing and me, asking him to invite his family quickly.
Go to the palace and propose marriage to me, otherwise my life will be ruined."
Yu Lanyun's face turned cold and she pursed her lips. This was what Ning sent someone to tell her, and warned her that if the news was revealed, not to mention her, even her parents would be left with nothing to eat.
Yu Lanyun hesitated, but thinking about Ning's ability, she finally had to compromise. She was more afraid of Ning than Yu Xijiao.
However, this was just what she had thought just now, and what she had thought now was completely different from what she had just thought.
"Want me to send you a message?" Yu Xijiao understood, but what she didn't expect was Ning Qing. Ning Qing was now staring at her eldest sister.
"Yes, I asked you to deliver a letter for me, but what I am delivering is actually a letter written in your name. It contains the personal relationship between two people. If this letter is caught on the spot, the clan girl will not be able to defend herself." Yu Lanyun said sternly.
He took a few breaths and slowly lowered his head, "Sister, I'm sorry, I...I was just scared."
Her previous choice was Ning.
Yu Xijiao stretched out her slender finger and shook it: "Tell me the specific time, place...and the most important person!"
Seeing that Yu Xijiao did not pursue the case, Yu Lanyun breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he no longer concealed anything and explained everything clearly...
"Are you back?" Ms. Ning selected the flowers in her hands. There was a carefully made palace flower beside her. The palace flower had twelve petals. Each petal was made extremely beautifully. Compared with the palace flower placed beside it as a reference,
The flowers are a bit more beautiful. These are the palace flowers specially sent by Concubine Ning. They are the most popular flowers in the palace now, but they are still not as good as those made by Ning family now.
This is the palace flower she made for Yu Lanxue.
The palace flowers are not gorgeous, but the flowers are divided into five colors and are light in color. They are simple and elegant with a bit of freshness and nobility, which is very eye-catching.
