Chapter 45, The Second Lady of Xuanping Hou's Mansion
"Mom, do you want to help with this?" Yu Yuxi poured a cup of tea for Qian, brought it to Qian, and asked softly.
Yu Yuxi is the biological daughter of the Qian family. She is extremely good-looking. She is a beauty with both talent and beauty in the capital. She wears a light blue eight-piece skirt with a slender waist. She has an excellent reputation among the daughters of aristocratic families in the capital.
Last year, Yu Yuxi was supposed to be admitted to White Rock Academy. Everyone said that with her talents, it would not be a problem to be admitted to White Rock Academy. But she didn't expect that when she was about to take the exam, she suddenly fell ill and couldn't afford it, which delayed the exam date. This year
But it is a necessary test.
Mrs. Qian was very afraid that Yu Yuxi would fail the exam, so she chose the exemption spot offered by Yu Xijiao. If it fell to her daughter, it would be a sure thing.
Concubine Ning had promised herself before that if her daughter was admitted to Baishi Academy, she would find the best marriage for her daughter.
After taking the tea from her daughter, Qian took a sip and put it down, frowning: "I don't know what your aunt was thinking, how could she allow such a thing to happen to Yu Lanyan."
This incident really came as a surprise to Qian. Even if she hooked up with Yu Ruiwen, she would not have done such a shameless thing before getting married. Now that Yu Lanyan has lost such a big face, it is because of her own lack of discipline.
To.
"Mom, are you not going to help?" Yu Yuxi asked.
"It's not that I won't help. Concubine Ning has promised me to help you choose the best marriage. If you don't help now, maybe... it won't happen." Qian also had a headache.
She also didn't like that Yu Lanyan would do such a scandal and bring down her daughter's reputation, but if she didn't help, her daughter's marriage might not be so good.
My cousin and Concubine Ning are from the same family, and I also got in touch with Concubine Ning through my cousin's friendship.
"Father and the clan elders have already agreed. My daughter asked people to inquire that day. The clan elders will directly punish Yu Lanyan in front of a full hall of guests." Yu Yuxi said.
"Your aunt will go crazy." Qian said anxiously, "And she will hate us, not only your father, but also you!"
Mr. Ning hates herself, which is equivalent to Concubine Ning hating herself. Mr. Qian does not dare to try.
"You have to save her first. It will be a great favor in the future. How can she not care about your affairs?" Qian said again.
"Then mother will help?" Yu Yuxi asked back.
"But... this matter is not that simple. You also said that your father and the clan elders have agreed. Your father has always been gentle, but if he agrees in front of so many people, he will not change it."
Qian has a headache. She used to take care of herself, but now that she is free, she sometimes thinks about this matter.
"Then try to find a way to get father to let go." Yu Yuxi looked out the window with a hint of ridicule, "My mother allowed her to get so many good things now. I heard that my grandmother was very good to her, and she even gave her a lot of money."
Let her stay in the courtyard and let her live in the mansion of Princess An and the eldest princess in the future?"
Yu Yuxi is talking about Yu Xijiao.
"Your grandmother is just confused. She obviously cares about you as her biological granddaughter. Instead, she cares about a little bitch raised in Jiangnan. If it hadn't been for your grandmother, how could I have allowed that bitch to creep up on me?
On the head." Qian said angrily. When he talked about this, he remembered the confession that was left in the hands of the eldest princess.
She was too embarrassed to mention this to her daughter.
"Mom, in the past, my grandmother was not close to anyone in our family. Even my eldest brother was sent to the border. When people talked about my grandmother, they said it was because of my father that she ignored us. But now, with Yu Xijiao...
...Looking back from now on...maybe it’s not that my grandmother is indifferent to family affection, but she will say that we didn’t do well and were unfilial.”
Yu Yuxi raised her eyes and looked at Mr. Qian.
"This...where do you start talking about this?" Ms. Qian was very angry, "It's all this bitch. If there was no bitch, how could such a thing happen?"
"Mom, if you want to help your aunt, you should discuss it more with your aunt. Grandma and father are most interested in her now. When mother and aunt are discussing, be more careful, so as not to offend her and make both grandmother and father dissatisfied.
." Yu Yuxi said disapprovingly.
"A despicable girl who was raised so inconsiderately that she really thought she was a treasure." It was okay if Yu Yuxi didn't say it. As soon as she said it, Qian became more and more angry. Thinking of everything yesterday and today, she was angry and hateful, and her heart was filled with anger.
He came up soaringly, his teeth clenched loudly.
"Mom, what are the details? You go and discuss it with your aunt. I'm tired of taking care of the affairs of the house for my mother these days." Yu Yuxi said softly.
"Okay, I'm going to take a look now." Qian stood up. She really had to go to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion to discuss things with her cousin.
Watching Mr. Qian leave, Yu Yuxi sat down, picked up the tea cup in front of her, and took a sip slowly. A trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes. A wild girl from the countryside tried to suppress herself without even checking whether she had this.
Ming, she has always been the only legitimate daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
I should be the only one...
"Girl, Madam went to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Nanny Xu came in to report.
Yu Xijiao drank the last sip of medicine, took the candied fruit from Qingyue, picked one to eat, sipped the bitter taste from her mouth, and spit out the candied fruit.
The candied fruit was too sweet and she didn't actually like eating it, but at this time it was the best way to get rid of the medicinal smell.
After taking a sip of tea, he asked again: "Madam, you came out of father's study and went directly to the Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion?"
The two side doors are connected, making it very convenient to go back and forth.
"Madam went to see the second girl first, and then went to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. She walked through the side door. There were already people from the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion waiting at the side door. The old slave looked at it from a distance. There were quite a few people. Maybe
Mrs. Ning from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is also there." Nanny Xu did not dare to follow too closely at that time, she only looked from a distance and vaguely saw some figures.
"Qingyue, have you asked the people in the yard what kind of person the second girl is?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and asked. Yu Yuxi had always seemed very gentle after she returned home, although the two were not very close.
, but I don’t have any prejudice against her, she just looks like an ordinary unfamiliar sister.
"It is said that the second girl is a very good person, the most kind and decent. When other people in the capital talk about the second girl, they all give thumbs up. They also say that anyone who wants to marry the second girl has to cross the threshold of the house, but the wife has always been reluctant to let her go.
The second girl delayed the marriage."
Qingyue said.
"You all said that?" Yu Xijiao said.
"Yes, that's what they say. Everyone praises the second girl very much and says that the second girl is very lucky. This is what I asked an expert to say."
As for the so-called masters, people in the capital usually invite Taoist priests to approve. The emperor believes in alchemists and has the most trusted alchemists around him. The people in the capital also think that Taoists, alchemists and the like are truly masters.
For this second sister, Yu Xijiao also respected her at first. Although this second sister was not close to her and had a vague sense of superiority and arrogance, overall she was okay.
However, when the incident at the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion happened, the second girl did not go with the Qian family and just rushed to the Qian family. She should have known something about it. So Yu Yuxi did not go there, which seemed a bit surprising but expected.
matter.
In her previous life, she had also dated Yu Yuxi. At that time, Yu Yuxi had a sister named Xuan, and they were extremely affectionate. She was not close to her second roommate, Yu Lanyan, but was only close to herself. She had repeatedly expressed that she was the only one who had the same feelings for her.
The two of them grew up together. Yu Yuxi played with Yu Lanxuan when she was young. Xuanpinghou was incompetent, and the Zhengyuanhou Mansion was very famous at that time. Whatever good Yu Lanxuan did, he would give it to the Xuanpinghou Mansion.
The two clan sisters left a share. Yu Yuxi repeatedly expressed that she was closest to Yu Lanxuan, saying that they were better than sisters.
But what about actually?
After her family was imprisoned, Yu Lanxuan sent people to secretly look for Yu Yuxi, but they always said they couldn't find her or saw anyone.
Therefore, this so-called closeness as sisters was originally a joke.
Even though she was on the road to death, Yu Yuxi didn't look back at all and watched helplessly as she was on the road to death.
The so-called "like sisters", the so-called gentleness and dignity are just a perfect joke! Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't feel sad or angry, she just feels that she has seen the wrong person.
My own eyes are blind...
"Girl, I think these people need to be replaced." Aunt Xu said worriedly, looking at the maids and women performing their duties outside the window, so many people said in unison that the second girl is good, it can be seen that these
Everyone belongs to the wife and the second girl, so Nanny Xu is really worried.
"Then let's change a group of people!" Yu Xijiao smiled lightly.
This is what she meant when she asked Qingyue to ask today. Since she has decided to live here, these people must be replaced, and she has to use her own manpower.
Otherwise, I don’t know how I died by then.
For this purpose, I even asked my grandmother for two humble roughnecks...
"Girl, you just moved in, would it be bad to change the staff?" Qingyue said uneasily. Although she also felt that the staff should be changed, just changing people like this would inevitably attract gossip and let the lady arrest her.
Keep in mind, the girl is the junior and the wife is the senior, so her arrangement cannot be questioned.
"What if they took the initiative to provoke me, or were disrespectful to me, their master?" Yu Xijiao said.
"Girl, are you going to... make Madam jealous of you?" Nanny Xu was startled and said hurriedly.
"What will happen if you're afraid?" Yu Xijiao said disapprovingly, because this time she didn't ruin her reputation. If she did what Qian wanted, Qian would never tolerate her.
"I can... I can deal with girls."
Aunt Xu stuttered.
"If you don't fear Madam, you won't deal with me?" Yu Xijiao fluttered her long eyelashes twice and said disapprovingly.
"This...impossible!" Nanny Xu and Qingyue looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Our girl had only been in Beijing for three days, but she almost caused a fatal disaster. Madam clearly couldn't tolerate the girl, "
But now...if there is a eldest princess, will Madam still dare?"
"Why don't you dare? Grandma lives in the eldest princess's house. Even if she knew about it, what happened has already happened. I am either dead or destroyed. No matter how much grandma wants to save me, she can't." Yu Xijiao looked at her.
Outside the window, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his smile was cold: "If Yu Lanyan wants to escape this time, I'm afraid she has to step on me!"
One sentence made Grandma Xu break into a cold sweat and scream "Ah"...
