"He was engaged to be engaged at that time. He had been engaged since he was young, but he also agreed to your eldest brother, and even promised your eldest brother that he would cancel the engagement immediately and it would not affect Lan Xuan's reputation. He said that he would handle the matter well.
This matter will not cause embarrassment to everyone." Mrs. Yu sneered lightly, "You also know your eldest brother's temperament. Even if he had a crush on Li Xian before, but knowing that he is already engaged, it is impossible to agree to it directly.
So I rejected him."
"So...the two families faded away later?" Yu Zhongyang only knew the first half, but not the second half.
"What your eldest brother said at that time was very unpleasant. Anyway, he just said that Prince Yangshan's character was not good. Even if Prince Yangshan really broke off the engagement in the future, Lan Xuan would not be able to marry him. Li Xian later said
He left in shame, and later Lan Xuan also found a marriage, and the two families rarely moved around. When your eldest brother passed away, he only paid homage as a courtesy, and we stopped interacting with him after that."
Mrs. Yu took a sip of tea.
"I didn't know about this matter originally. If your eldest brother hadn't let it slip once, I wouldn't have known that the Yangshan Hou Crown Prince had such a plan to marry Lan Xuan."
"Then...then he will help me?" Yu Zhongyang panicked.
"What are you afraid of!" Mrs. Yu gave him a cold look, "After such an incident, do you think Prince Yangshan will still remember your elder brother? If you really mean it, why didn't you come to see your elder sister-in-law during those years of mourning?
? Besides, didn’t he always say that he wanted to marry the seventh princess? Since he wanted to marry the seventh princess, how could he be involved with other women? The royal princess is not something anyone can marry if he wants to. "
What he said was reasonable, and Yu Zhongyang felt a little at ease.
"Since his fiancée has passed away and there are so many rumors outside that he wants to marry the princess, that's what he is capable of. Otherwise, no matter how good he is, the emperor will not be able to marry the seventh princess to him just because he has been engaged to his fiancée before.
"Mrs. Yu Tai warned, "This is a capable man. You don't know it now anyway. I just ask him to take more care of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion for the sake of your eldest brother."
"As for the rest... we'll talk about it later."
"Mother, my son understands." Yu Zhongyang nodded.
"What's going on with Xing'er? What did Xin Kangbo Mansion say?" Mrs. Yu asked again.
"Xing'er is in the mansion now, and Chu Zidan has nothing serious to do. There is no more trouble now, and the papers in the yamen have been removed. It's just that the rumors before were too unpleasant, and Xing'er can't do anything now. He can only stay in the yard.
." Speaking of this matter, Yu Zhongyang got a headache again.
He had already found trouble for his son before, and he could slowly move up the ranks when he had the chance. Unexpectedly, he had been having troubles one after another, and his son's affairs were also in trouble.
Mrs. Yu was silent and looked out the window with a sinister look: "It's okay if it's okay. That's it for now. Wait..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Yu paused for a moment, but Yu Zhongyang became impatient: "Wait? Mother is waiting again, how can I wait? I have already been assigned to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. Even if Yu Chengxuan is really dead by then,
Can this title still fall on me?"
There are already two families. Even if the title is really free, it will usually not fall on Yu Zhongyang's head again. Thinking of this, Yu Zhongyang's anger rises.
"Don't worry, there's Xue'er." Seeing her son getting angry, Mrs. Yu comforted her.
"We don't know anything about Xue'er's current situation, how she is doing, whether she is favored, or whether she can speak in front of the emperor." Yu Zhongyang spread his hands and said anxiously, "She is not using herself now.
The real name and surname, even if you are successful in the future..."
"If you are promising, you will naturally change. As long as Xue'er is promising, what if the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion separates you? Have you asked the Ning family about Yu Chengxuan? Only when he is dead can you have hope, and Xue'er can
It can be operated in the palace." Mrs. Yu Tai said with a gloomy face.
Yu Zhongyang exhaled a strong breath: "Mother, I know, Mrs. Ning said... I don't know yet. It will take some time for the news to reach Qidi and then come back."
"Okay, remember, no matter you live outside the house or inside the house, you are Yu Boyang's brother. I will help look after this property in the house, and no one will take it for granted." Taifu Yu reminded him.
The way.
Although Yu Zhongyang was annoyed, he still nodded in agreement.
After the mother and son exchanged a few words for a while, they calculated the time and it was time for Li Xian to worship, and then Yu Zhongyang left.
Mrs. Yu lay down again and asked the maid next to her to get the cooked medicine and put it on the table in front of the bed. She heard that Yu Xijiao was here again. She would not let go of what happened last time.
She has to prepare.
Yu Xijiao is indeed here.
Entering the room, he saw Mrs. Yu lying on the bed with a pale face. After seeing the gift, she clapped her hands and Ming Yue came forward with a gift box in her hand.
"Madam, you gave me a big gift that day, and I'm here to repay the gift today." Yu Xi said with a sweet smile.
"Big gift? What did I give you at that time?" Mrs. Yu stretched out her hand and pressed her head, looking troubled and unable to remember, "As I get older, sometimes I get confused, and I can't remember many things after they happened.
"
If she had known that Mrs. Yu would shamelessly rely on her old age, Yu Xijiao was not angry. She pointed to the table with a smile. Mingyue put the gift box on the table, opened it, and took out a plate of cakes.
The pastries are very delicate, and you can tell at a glance that they are carefully made, and the light aroma is very pleasant.
"Madam, this is the pastry that the Prince of Qi asked me to send you specially. He said it was to thank you for your kindness. The Prince of Qi couldn't bear the set of jewelry that he gave me before." Yu Xi smiled tenderly.
road.
"Qi...Prince Qi..." Mrs. Yu was startled and subconsciously grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly.
"Yes, that's Prince Qi. Thank you for taking such good care of me and caring more about me as a junior than your own granddaughter." Yu Xi's smile became softer and gentler, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes. She raised the corners of her lips slightly and raised her eyes.
The color was so cold that Mrs. Yu felt inexplicably panicked and was speechless for a moment.
"Mrs. Mrs., please use some pastries. I will serve you to try some." Yu Xijiao stepped forward, picked up the chopsticks, picked out a small piece, put it with a handkerchief and brought it to the corner of Mrs. Yu's lips, "Mrs.
Madam, give it a try, do you like it?"
"I……"
Mrs. Yu had already asked people to inquire about the matter at Baishi Academy. Knowing that nothing happened to Yu Xijiao, she understood in her heart. Later, she thought that she would just deny it to him. Could it be that Yu Xijiao still dared to take action?
Except for Yu Xijiao and her maid, the only people present at that time were herself and her confidants. She refused to acknowledge him at all costs, and there was nothing Yu Xijiao could do.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xijiao came to the door not to blame herself, but to return a gift. The most important thing is that this return gift was from the Prince of Qi.
If we were to say who the madam was most worried about, there was no one else but the prince of Qi.
Others always have rules to follow in their behavior, but only the Prince of Qi acted in a domineering and flamboyant manner, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor kept everything in check, doing whatever he wanted and making trouble out of nothing.
But even so, the emperor didn't do anything to him, which shows that the prince of Qi is really favored.
Even though she was scared and almost fainted in panic, she had to open her mouth and let Yu Xijiao feed the small piece of pastry into her mouth. She held a corner of the quilt in her hand and could hardly control her trembling.
The Crown Prince of Qi behaves erratically. If he had given this jewelry to Yu Xijiao himself, he would have killed himself for no reason. His life might really be nothing to the Crown Prince of Qi.
After realizing this, Mrs. Yu became even more panicked. She bit the small piece in her mouth, which was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, and she couldn't move it.
"Madam, why don't you like it?" Yu Xi tilted her head delicately and asked.
"I'm getting old, and my teeth aren't very good." Mrs. Yu tried her best to regain her composure and glared at Yu Xijiao fiercely.
"What the Madam said is, can you try to bite it?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask, put down the dishes, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said.
Mrs. Yu began to sweat on her forehead, her hands suddenly trembled, then she gritted her teeth and swallowed hard. Although the mouthful was not too big, she swallowed it so hard that she stretched her neck a few times and her eyes turned white.
, The maid and mother-in-law on the side hurriedly came forward to pat the back and give water to the other.
It was not easy for Mrs. Yu to swallow the cake with water.
After a fuss, Mrs. Yu waved her hand, and the maid and mother-in-law all stepped back.
Yu Xijiao had already sat down on the chair leisurely, smiling at the busy servants of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. She blinked her eyes innocently and said: "Mrs. Yu, fortunately you have recovered. If you can't recover,
, I’m afraid this pastry will have to be checked to see if it’s poisonous in the end.”
She looked at the cakes with regret: "I heard that the cakes given by Prince Qi came from Concubine Ning. If something really happened, Concubine Ning would be involved."
"Ning... Concubine Ning?" Mrs. Yu put her hand on her chest and said in a hoarse voice. Originally, she really wanted to take the opportunity to have an attack.
"Yes, it was with Concubine Ning. As you know, Concubine Ning misunderstood me this time and almost harmed me. The people around her were interrogated by the Empress, and some of them with small intentions were eliminated directly.
In order not to bring down Concubine Ning’s reputation in the future, when Prince Qi entered the palace, Concubine Ning asked him to bring me this pastry, and Prince Qi asked me to bring it to you.”
Yu Xi talks coquettishly and smiles.
Mrs. Yu's vision went dark and she almost fainted. She forced herself to look at Yu Xijiao in front of her. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She was so anxious. She had given her greatest hope to her granddaughter. I wonder if it was because of this.
If this matter is implicated, will Concubine Ning push Xueer out?
If she had known this, she would never have made such an extra move, and she even asked the chamberlain to bring the news to her granddaughter.
Will something happen to her Xue'er?
"Madam, the cakes have been delivered. I will go back first. I will come over to see Mrs. Yu when I have time." Yu Xi smiled tenderly and stood up to say goodbye. Mrs. Yu's temper was extremely arrogant, and if she was pushed into a hurry,
She can also act miserably. She, a junior, really can't force her, but isn't there Yu Lanxue?
She didn't believe that Mrs. Yu was not anxious, panicked, or afraid. The truth hadn't been revealed yet. Mrs. Yu should still be alive. Sometimes living was more painful than death...
