The maid had quick hands and eyes, and hurriedly supported her: "Old madam, please be careful."
"Is this true?" The old lady grabbed the maid's hand and asked eagerly before she could sit upright.
"Old Madam... this is true. This is what I said when I went to inquire about it just now. It has been a while, but we... don't know."
The mother-in-law who inquired about the news also burst into tears.
Mrs. Zhengyuanhou was such a good person. She never put on airs in front of them, no matter how good she was to the old lady. She even repeatedly said that if it hadn’t been for the old lady, there would not have been the current Marquis of Zhengyuan. She said that Marquis Zhengyuan was sorry.
My old lady, but now, such a good Madam Zhengyuan Hou is gone.
There is also Lanxuan County Lord. The distinguished Lanxuan County Lord has always respected his old lady. This time he also said that he would officially become a relative with the old lady. Anyway, she will not be from the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion in the future, so she can marry someone.
As the master of the Xin Kang Bo Mansion, he also said that he had spoken to Prince Xin Kang Bo and wanted to recognize an old relative, and Prince Xin Kang Bo also agreed.
No matter how arrogant Mrs. Yu is in the future, she will not be able to control her.
But now, she heard something. Mrs. Zhengyuanhou and Lord Lanxuan both died in the fire. How is this possible?
The old lady was in tears. She still wanted to ask questions, but she felt choked in her throat. She couldn't say anything. She only choked and turned her head and wiped away her tears.
It took a long time before I stopped crying under the dissuasion of everyone.
"You guys go and ask again, does this matter have anything to do with that old woman? If it has anything to do with her, I will fight with her even if I risk my life."
The old lady wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth.
"Old madam, I'm going to go now." The mother-in-law left in response. She had just found out that something happened to the two masters of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. She didn't even have time to ask more questions, so she ran back to report the news. Now she needs to ask more clearly...
…
Yu Xijiao came to visit the Qing Dynasty early the next morning.
After getting off the carriage, I inquired about an old lady who came from afar. There were many maids and women serving around her. I calculated the time and my aunt was about to arrive. The bright moon has been making people stare at this place for a while. Yesterday, my aunt inquired.
When there was news about Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, others were also inquiring about her.
Just look at this situation.
Yu Xijiao went out with the excuse of going to the embroidery shop to see her eldest sister's dowry. Yu Zhuqing's departure ceremony was very fast and the date was set. Guangxuan Pinghou Mansion's sewing room was too late. It happened that Yu Zhuqing also had an embroidery shop. Yu Xijiao
I asked her for a job to help her take charge of the dowry in the embroidery village.
This time I went out not only because of my great-aunt, but also because of Xiuzhuang.
New clues should be found in Jinyixiu Village, clues that she had ignored before...
After finding her aunt's residence, Qingyue stepped forward and knocked on the door. A maid came out. After opening the door, she looked at them for a few times. She didn't think there was anyone they should know here, but they seemed to have extraordinary bearings and the appearance of the master behind them.
Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but her bearing is even more extraordinary. At first glance, she looks very special.
"Excuse me, what do you want?" The maid asked after looking them up and down. The old lady said that this is the capital, and many people who go out are either rich or noble, so be careful.
"Is your old lady coming from Yangjing?" Qingyue asked with a smile.
"Exactly." The maid looked at her again, but still didn't recognize her.
"Your old lady's surname is Yu?" Qingyue continued.
"Yes, who are you?" the maid asked warily.
"Our girl is the third daughter of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and we are sisters of the same race as Lanxuan County Lord of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. We have the most irreconcilable relationship." Qingyue replied with a smile, "Your old lady will come over at this time, Lan Xuan.
The county magistrate once told our girl before that we kept people waiting."
"You... wait a minute." You girls, our girls, were in a mess, and the girl's head was already big. After saying this, she hurriedly closed the door and hurried back to report the news.
After a while, a woman opened the door again, looked at Qingyue up and down, and finally her eyes fell on Yu Xijiao behind Qingyue, her eyes flashed with surprise, is the daughter of a noble family in the capital so beautiful?
"Excuse me...is she a girl from the Xuanping Marquis who is of the same clan as the Zhengyuan Marquis?" the mother-in-law asked cautiously after looking at her.
"It's in our house." Qingyue nodded.
"Please come in." The mother-in-law opened the door, stepped aside, and said respectfully.
Mrs. Zhengyuanhou told the old lady some interesting things about the capital last time. Among them was the Xuanpinghou Mansion.
During the expedition, the Marquis Mansion became much more noble.
Yu Xijiao took two maids and followed her mother-in-law into the main room.
There was an old lady sitting upright in the main room, her eyes were pure and clear, but the corners of her eyes were red and swollen, showing that she had cried hard.
"I've met the old lady." Yu Xijiao stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Are you... a girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion?" After the old lady looked Yu Xijiao up and down, a look of surprise appeared on her face, "It was Xuan'er who asked you to... wait for me here? What about Xuan'er?
?”
As soon as the last few words came out, the old lady's eyes turned red again, her hands tremblingly fell on the chair rail, her expression became eager and nervous, and she looked at Yu Xijiao expectantly.
Yu Xijiao was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said in a soft voice: "Old madam, Mr. Lanxuan County was my savior. Before I returned to Beijing, the two of us exchanged letters. She told me
I have talked about you, and also mentioned that you will come to Beijing, and even said that I will be a relative of you in a legitimate manner. After all these years, the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion has been unable to tolerate you."
These are what Yu Lanxuan wants to say.
The old lady couldn't bear the tears anymore, and immediately burst out of her eyes: "She...she...this child is really..."
"Old madam, although Lord Lanxuan is no longer here, she still has a younger brother. Prince Zhengyuan Hou still needs help. Until now, Prince Zhengyuan Hou still doesn't know what happened in the mansion."
Yu Xijiao said silently.
"What's going on?" The old lady was startled and asked anxiously.
Yu Xijiao then told everything about Yu Chengxuan, including where he was now, how his health was, everything in between, and everything about Yu Lanyan and the strange things that happened in the mourning hall.
After hearing this, the old lady was trembling with rage: "This old lady...this old lady must have done something. It was her, she must have killed Anshi and Xuan'er. I'm going to find her now."
As he spoke, he stood up.
"Old Madam, please wait a moment." Yu Xijiao reached out to help her, helped her sit down again, and said calmly: "Old Madam, there is no evidence, there is nothing."
No one noticed the thick black anger rolling deep in her eyes. With so many people, this was the first time she learned the "truth" from other people's mouths. Yes, this was the truth.
It's not Yu Lanyan's fault alone, it's the second wife of the entire Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. It was Mrs. Yu who killed herself. It was she who wanted the lives of her own family, stepping on her own son's feet, and dyeing her red with the blood of her own family.
The son's path to becoming a nobleman.
"No evidence? This is not evidence. Something happened to Boyang's family, and her son's family all benefited. Isn't this evidence?" The old lady was so excited that she took Yu Xijiao's hand and said, "I will go to the Yamen to file a complaint now.
, let the Yamen investigate, and they will definitely find it."
"Old madam, don't worry, there is no evidence for this matter. If you go directly to the Yamen, it will only make people think it is an accusation, and even get bitten by them. After all, they are still people of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Yu Xijiao finally said.
A sentence is almost said word for word.
Dad was a hero all his life, but in the end he was harmed by others, and instead of saying anything, he used all his hard work to exonerate those who harmed him.
So what if the supply was high? In the end, the price fell even worse.
There was no direct evidence, so she looked for evidence from sideways, and the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest...
"Good boy, what do you think we should do?" The old lady understood what Yu Xijiao said, wiped her tears, and grabbed Yu Xijiao's hand, "Tell me, how can I avenge Xuan'er, how can I protect her?"
Looking at Xuan'er?"
Although the girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion in front of her looks young, she has an extraordinary bearing. Even when she was in bed, she still looks very calm and calm. The old lady inexplicably feels that the girl in front of her is trustworthy and can be in Lanzhou.
After Xuan was gone, he still read Lan Xuan's words and came here to wait for him. This originally showed that this girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was a trustworthy person.
She believed in Yu Lanxuan's gaze.
"Old madam, you drink water first, and we will add it up slowly." Yu Xijiao reached out and poured a glass of warm water for the old madam, and brought it to the old madam. The old madam took it and drank a few sips before she calmed down and put down her hand.
Teacup looked at Yu Xijiao with tears in her eyes, "Good boy, I will listen to whatever you say."
"Old madam, I also guess that the death of Mr. Lanxuan County is related to Mrs. Yu, but there is no evidence. Even we can't go to the Yamen to report the case. After all, this matter must be related to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, and the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is
There is no one who can make the decision." Yu Xijiao collected her thoughts and said softly, "It just so happened that the old lady came."
"What can I... do?" The old lady nodded.
"I heard from Mr. Lanxuan County that the old lady should have a support document left by Marquis Zhengyuan, saying that he will support you until your old age?" Yu Xijiao had already prepared what she wanted to say before she came. This would change the topic.
Led over.
"Yes...there is such a share." The old lady nodded.
"With such an adoption document, it is actually a certificate of adoption of Marquis Zhengyuan. If it were an ordinary family, this would almost be regarded as an adopted mother, right?" Yu Xijiao continued.
"Yes!" The old lady nodded.
"In this case, the old lady can be regarded as the old lady of Zhengyuanhou Mansion. Based on this, the old lady also has a say in the matter of family separation. It is also reasonable for Zhengyuanhou to entrust the matter to you.
?"
"right."
"Old madam, look, this is the document for family separation. Can you see if there is anything wrong?" Yu Xijiao took out a list from her sleeve and handed it over.
