"Grandma, Lord Lanxuan is an excellent person." Yu Xi sighed and lowered her head, her eyes filled with sadness.
"Do you know her?" Princess An and the eldest daughter pulled her granddaughter over lovingly. Her granddaughter had grown up in Jiangnan since she was a child. How could she have anything to do with Yu Lanxuan?
"I've seen it, in Jiangnan!" Yu Xijiao nodded, leaning her head on the shoulder of Princess An and the eldest daughter, and recalled, "Grandma! Three years ago, Mr. Lanxuan County rescued me in Jiangnan."
This was the only time the two people met. At that time, she viewed the matter from Yu Lanxuan's perspective, but now she thinks of it from Yu Xijiao's perspective.
"She saved you? Three years ago?" An and Grand Duke Yi said in surprise.
"On the Lantern Festival three years ago, Jiao'er took her maid to watch the lanterns secretly, leaving her grandmother and second aunt. Unexpectedly, she was dispersed by the crowd. Jiao'er was almost caught by a human trafficker. It was... Lan
Mr. Xuanxian saved Jiaoer." Yu Xijiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and tiny stars flashed through her eyes.
This incident is not much in Yu Lanxuan's memory, but it is deeply remembered in Yu Xijiao's memory.
Although he has no father or mother, the child who was pampered and grew up in the south of the Yangtze River is a little more willful. When his grandmother and second aunt were not paying attention, he secretly opened the back door and left the Xie Mansion, and took the maid dressed as a boy to watch the fun.
Thinking that too many people had scattered the maid, Yu Xijiao panicked and looked for the maid, but the trafficker discovered that she was a girl and targeted her.
During her embarrassing escape, she was blocked in an alley, and two traffickers rushed over to catch her. At the critical moment, the back door of a courtyard opened, and Yu Xijiao rushed in through the back door in panic and asked for help.
Two traffickers also rushed in, saying they had captured the escaped slave and that Yu Xijiao was an escaped slave from their house.
The woman who opened the door saw that she was in such a miserable state and that the two traffickers were speaking so righteously that she thought they were serious, so she pushed her out and let them deal with it on their own.
Yu Xijiao's hands were tied behind her back by two traffickers, her mouth was gagged, and when she was about to be pulled out of the only door that could save her, she suddenly heard a clear and elegant voice.
"This girl is not a runaway slave. Please save her." The voice came from the pavilion on the second floor.
The woman at the back door was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold Yu Xijiao.
When the two traffickers knew that the matter was exposed, they looked fierce and tried to tear the mother-in-law away.
More maids and women rushed out, carrying sticks in their hands, and rushed up to beat the traffickers.
The trafficker couldn't resist, so he dropped Yu Xijiao and ran away with her head in her arms, and then rescued Yu Xijiao. Then he changed her clothes, asked her about her identity, and sent someone to Xie's Mansion to spread the news.
When my grandmother found out, she was so anxious that she almost fainted. Finally, her second aunt came over in a carriage and picked her up.
From then on, Yu Xijiao knew that the girl who had just rescued her was the daughter of Marquis Zhengyuan, Lady Lanxuan.
Leshi thanked Yu Lanxuan in person, and she was taken into the carriage early. It was originally agreed to invite Yu Lanxuan to come over the next day, but she thanked her in person again, but when the Xie Mansion sent someone to go there early the next morning, that courtyard
The building had long since been deserted, and the mother-in-law who stayed behind only said that the master had something urgent to do and left.
The Shangyuan Festival three years ago was a catastrophe of life and death for Yu Xijiao, but it was not a catastrophe for Yu Lanxuan at that time.
My father died at that time, and my mother fell ill after hearing the news. She went to Jiangnan alone with great filial piety to bring her younger brother back.
To her, Yu Xijiao's affairs were just a quick glance.
That year, Yu Lanxuan was thirteen years old, and now Yu Xijiao is thirteen years old. Whether it was the intersection of fate or God's mercy, Yu Xijiao couldn't explain clearly. She only knew that she was now Yu Lanxuan and Yu Xijiao, and she had two people.
All the memories and family ties...
After talking about the past, Yu Xijiao raised her head, with a flash of excitement in her eyes: "Grandma, Mr. Lanxuan County has a kindness to me, and I will definitely repay this kindness."
After hearing what she said, Princess An and the eldest princess nodded: "He is really a good child, and he is indeed kind to you... If it weren't for her, something would have happened to you at that time. Don't be so disobedient again in the future.
Such a big danger!"
"Grandma, I know!" Yu Xijiao nodded, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, "Although Lord Lanxuan is not here, Prince Zhengyuan is still here. If there is a chance, Jiao'er will definitely repay the favor.
"
"It should be so. It's just that the prince of Zhengyuan Hou is in Jiangnan now. I heard that his health has not been very good. From time to time, he goes to Jiangnan to visit famous doctors for treatment... With things like this, the prince's position may not be guaranteed." An He
The eldest princess sighed and analyzed.
"Grandma, is it because of the affairs of Duke Anguo's Palace? Jiao'er heard many things about Duke Anguo's Palace from the words of the guests at Zhengyuan Houfu." Yu Xi asked softly.
There were some things that she didn't know clearly because she had been imprisoned for more than a month. The information that Nanny Yuan got from her was actually not true. Now she wanted to know more and more details.
"The matter with An Guogong... is actually very sudden." There was no one else in the room, so An and the eldest princess spoke to Yu Xijiao. The granddaughter had just come to Beijing. Although she was only a lady, she was the daughter of a family, even if she was only from the inner courtyard.
My lady, there are some things you should know and understand so that you can avoid disaster.
"What happened to An Guo Gong was the decree of the emperor. Almost overnight, the entire An Guo Gong's mansion was ransacked, and not long after that, everyone in the family was ransacked... I only learned the news later, that your father was a
Incompetent, I must be just a woman after all."
Although you are the eldest princess and have a distinguished status, you are not involved in the affairs of the court. However, Xuanping Hou is useless. For him, the affairs of the court are basically an afterthought or ignorance.
Unexpectedly, Princess An and the eldest princess were unwilling to pay much attention to his affairs. After being extremely disappointed with this son, they had no idea.
"Even if an important minister like An Guogong has really committed something, shouldn't he be investigated carefully? It will take some time, right?" Yu Xijiao covered up the pain in her heart and asked softly.
In her previous life, she and her mother were trapped in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. All she thought about was the presence of Duke An Guo. She never expected that her grandfather's family would actually fall into such a situation, and it happened so quickly that no one could react.
Besides, she was still locked up at that time.
If she hadn't seen everything that followed in her dream, she would have been unaware of it even until her death.
He will also follow the dream to enter the situation where all his relatives are dead.
"As usual... But I don't know what the emperor is thinking this time. This matter has nothing to do with you. In the future, don't mention the affairs of Duke An in front of outsiders." Princess An and the eldest princess shook their heads and said no more.
Continuing to talk about the affairs of Duke An Guo's Mansion, this matter is not simple no matter how you look at it, because it is not simple, and even the affairs of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion are not just what you see on the surface.
"Grandma, what kind of person is Prince Xin Kang Bo?" Yu Xijiao nodded and asked again.
"He is a son of an aristocratic family with good character. There are many dandies in the capital, but there are not many people with such character as Crown Prince Xin Kangbo. It's just a pity that the one I want to marry in the end is the daughter of the second wife of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion."
Princess An and Dachang didn't actually know the specific situation of Zhengyuanhou Mansion, but she didn't like Qian. She also knew that the second wife of Zhengyuanhou Mansion was Qian's cousin, so naturally she didn't like her either.
"Grandma... the emperor of Lanxuan County is gone. The Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion does not hold funerals, but rushes to hold weddings. This... I have never heard of it." Yu Xijiao said tactfully.
Before I died in the dream, in front of a room full of guests, I said that I wanted Yu Lanyan to marry me, and then Mrs. Yu also wanted to marry her. It was natural for Yu Lanyan to marry her, and it even made people think that she was also affectionate and righteous.
, but in fact, he was not really dead at that time. At night, he died in Yu Lanyan's hands, and his blood dyed a large piece of blue bricks in the yard red.
And at the last moment, what she saw was Chu Zihan, walking in on his own blood, gently supporting Yu Lanyan, as if she was lying on her, and she was not the fiancée he had always been passionate about.
Her long eyelashes twitched, covering up the trace of anger in her eyes, she twitched the corners of her lips, and slowly regained her composure...
"This is actually a common practice among the people. It doesn't mean that it's not possible. The surviving people are the most important. You can't force the living people for the sake of a person who has passed. It's not good for the people who are still alive. Funerals and happy events conflict.
It is a rule to hold a happy event first and then a big funeral, but the matter of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is still a bit inappropriate."
Princess An and the eldest princess said slowly: "Generally, this kind of thing is an accident. Something goes wrong during a happy event, and no one can predict it. Such a big thing happened in An Guogong's mansion, and Yu Lanxuan has been sick all the time.
Well, if you suddenly die of illness, it won’t be a big deal!”
"Now... Mr. Lanxuan County is being burned alive!" Yu Xijiao pointed out the key point.
"Yes, that's why I asked Qin He to go to Zhengyuanhou's Mansion and say something like this." Princess An and squinted her eyes, "A fire broke out in Zhengyuanhou's Mansion and burned to death Zhengyuanhou's widow and daughter.
, If this matter is an accident, then forget it. If it is not an accident, the matter will be more involved. But regardless of whether it is an accident or not, as these two people have to investigate first, the marriage can be postponed. "
"So, is it because Zhengyuan Houfu has a guilty conscience?" Yu Xijiao's heart skipped a beat.
"I don't know if it's because of a guilty conscience... or something else." Princess An and the eldest daughter shook her head, "Just because the hasty marriage proposal from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion doesn't necessarily mean anything, it could also be that they really fell in love with Prince Xin Kangbo and didn't want to
Let go, it will be such a good marriage, and no one can make it if they want to. Now that Zhengyuan Hou Mansion does not let go, Xin Kangbo Mansion can only do this, and the dead will be the most important."
Yu Xijiao's heart and chest were so tight that she could hardly breathe. She bit her lip to suppress the boiling hatred in her heart.
He raised his eyes and looked at Princess An and the eldest daughter seriously: "Grandma, I feel that Crown Prince Xin Kangbo may not be a good person. If he is really passionate about Lord Lanxuan, he will not agree to continue the marriage between the two families at this time.
"
"I heard that Mrs. Xin Kangbo threatened to die!" Princess An and the eldest princess said after thinking about the matter, she specially asked someone to inquire about this matter.
Yu Xijiao shook her head and made her request: "Grandma, I... don't think so. I want to see Prince Xin Kangbo, is that okay?"
