"If she goes back now... she may have no chance of survival. The Yu clan has exterminated her." Chu Zihan said.
"Abolition of the clan? So soon?" Chu Zidan really didn't know about this, so he subconsciously asked, "Will her mother agree?"
The head of the inner courtyard of the Marquis Zhengyuan Mansion is Mrs. Ning. How could such a thing be allowed to happen?
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. This is what the Yu clan negotiated. Marquis Xuanping came forward and the other clan elders agreed." Chu Zihan leaned against the pillar behind him and relaxed a little.
He has been tense from yesterday to today, and has never been tired before. It even makes him feel "regret". If he had known this, he would not have to do some things at that time.
"Hou Xuanping actually came forward?" Chu Zidan said in surprise. Yu Ruiwen was famous for not caring about things, but also for being incapable of doing things.
"There is nothing we can do now but to keep her. Anyway, the child in her belly is gone." Chu Zihan looked at the courtyard in front of him and said weakly.
He was also looking forward to that child. Hearing Yu Lanxuan talk about having a son, he already regarded the child as his own son.
"Brother, don't worry. The child can be reborn, but leaving this woman behind will be a disaster." Chu Zidan reminded Chu Zihan, "If others know that the child in the belly belongs to the eldest brother, there will be even more criticism.
"
"I know." Chu Zihan hung his head heavily.
Chu Zidan's eyes fell on Chu Zihan, his eyes dim. His eldest brother had always had an excellent reputation and was always the object of praise from others. Even though his reputation was good, it was far inferior to his eldest brother. But the current situation was caused by his own eldest brother.
from.
There is a sentence that I couldn't help but blurt out: "Brother really likes this woman, doesn't he like Mr. Lanxuan County?"
It is obvious that the prince of Lanxuan County is very beautiful, so why would he like Yu Lanyan, who can only be said to be more delicate? Chu Zidan really doesn't understand this.
This woman had a dark pregnancy early on, and she planned to let her enter the house as a concubine after Lanxuan County Lord married. After Lanxuan County Lord's accident, the parents' first thought was actually to agree
Let this woman marry in the name of Lanxuan County Lord.
At that time, Chu Zidan felt that his parents and eldest brother were crazy.
"This matter... is indeed not my fault. Now that the county king is gone, what's the use of talking about it. I have already failed one woman, how can I bear to fail another one again? Besides, if I let her go back, I would still let her go."
I...can't do it if I'm on the road to death." Yu Zihan lowered his eyes and looked at the floor tiles in front of him, and said softly.
Looks so affectionate!
"Then... what should we do now?" Chu Zidan spread his hands, "Isn't it that big brother doesn't know all the rumors outside?"
"I know, now... I can only try my best to explain, and we can't let her end up in a dead end!" Chu Zihan said in a deep voice, and after speaking for a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Zidan: "
Second brother, the house is already in such chaos, how about we investigate your matter after a while?"
Looking at Chu Zihan who looked tired, Chu Zidan finally relaxed. Looking at Chu Zihan's leaving figure, his brows still furrowed tightly...
The first thing Yu Ruiwen did when he returned home was to visit his little daughter.
Hearing that Yu Ruiwen was coming, Yu Xijiao put down her work and came out with Qingyue, and welcomed Yu Ruiwen into Yaoshui Pavilion.
After Yu Ruiwen sat down, Yu Xijiao said with concern: "Father, is everything okay?"
"What can I do? I'm just taking care of the guests who came here." Yu Ruiwen waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
"My daughter is afraid... that her father will be implicated." Yu Xi said softly.
"What did you involve me in?" Yu Ruiwen was stunned.
"Father, what happened to the clan sister named Yu Lanyan was because of my father's intention to leave the clan, and then something like that happened again. It shows that I am not willing to accept it. My second sister and I have returned to our home now, but my father is still staying in Zhengzhou.
Yuanhou Mansion helps, I'm afraid they will plot against my father."
Yu Xijiao said uneasily.
These words are heartbreaking!
When Yu Ruiwen heard this, he became angry and slapped the table: "How dare they!"
"Father, it's not a question of whether you dare or not, it's a question of whether you can make your father change his mind. You can calculate it once, of course you can calculate it twice. Now that your daughter has returned home, your father can't be careless, lest something happens.
, it makes everyone look ugly.”
Yu Xijiao continued to express concern.
Yu Ruiwen snorted coldly: "If you find them reaching out again, just cut them off."
Again and again, even though Yu Ruiwen tolerated it for Qian's sake, he was angered at this time and looked fierce.
"Father, don't be angry, that's what my daughter said." Yu Xijiao sighed, and with very quick movements, a small yellow paper ingot was folded.
There is already a stack of folded ingots on the table, as well as a pair of small paper figures.
Yu Xijiao lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes fell on her white and tender eyes, casting uneven shadows. She looked a bit soft. Then she raised her head, her eyes were as clear as a girl, filled with the childishness of a girl. This
The childishness dilutes the stunning appearance of the exquisite facial features, but there is also a kind of softness that has passed through the years.
It also made Yu Ruiwen realize that the girl in front of him must not have grown up yet and was still a child.
Some memories were actually from when he was a child. Although they were very indifferent and could hardly be remembered, he even thought he had forgotten them. But when he saw them again now, he found that the memories were always there, but he just didn't take them out to recall.
"Don't worry, your matter... my father will definitely not let it go. We have to let them give us an explanation."
Taking a deep breath, Yu Ruiwen's expression became gentle.
"Father, we can't investigate what happened before. When we were investigating... a woman beside my wife died. Today, a woman from Marquis Zhengyuan also died. My daughter is afraid that the investigation will continue.
In the end, it was all the mother-in-law's fault." Yu Xijiao smiled bitterly and shook her hand.
The previous matter was settled by the mother-in-law next to Qian, and the current matter was settled by the mother-in-law next to Ning. If you look at one thing alone, you won’t think too much about it. If you put the two things together, it will be both.
Yu Ruiwen couldn't help but think too much, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
A flash of anger flashed in his eyes...
"Father, how do you think my paper man is?" Yu Xijiao continued talking without focusing on the topic. She reached out and pushed a paper man in front of Yu Ruiwen and said.
Yu Ruiwen looked at the paper man, then at the color on his daughter's tender fingers, and said displeasedly: "You don't need to do this kind of thing, just let the servants fold it."
"This is my sincerity." Yu Xijiao raised her head, her watery eyes could almost see people's hearts, "Father, Mr. Lanxuan County has helped me save my life."
"She saved you?" Yu Ruiwen was surprised.
"Three years ago, in Jiangnan, I only took a maid with me when I went out, and then we were separated again. Fortunately, I met Mr. Lanxuan County, otherwise I might have been kidnapped by human traffickers that time." Yu Xijiao fluttered her long eyelashes.
Next, a bitter smile flashed in his eyes, "I was young and full of energy at that time, and I still thought about going back to Beijing alone to visit my father and grandmother."
Having been raised in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years, she left Beijing when she was a child. The only people around her were the Xie family, her mother died young, and her father was missing... Yu Ruiwen felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. Even though the Xie family gave her daughter a lot of love, but
Some love cannot be compensated, as you can see when your daughter lowers her eyes and hides the bitterness in her eyes.
Some words of rebuke could no longer be uttered, and he could only say gently: "You are a child, how can you be so courageous, and dare to run out of the house alone... Fortunately, I met Lord Lanxuan about this matter, can you
You might as well fold some paper money yourself and burn it for her."
"Father, can I go there again later?" Yu Xijiao nodded and asked.
"Are you still going to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?" Yu Ruiwen was stunned, thinking that his little daughter would no longer want to go there.
"No matter what, Mr. Lanxuan County is my benefactor. I can't help repaying you for saving my life. It's just a pity that Mr. Lanxuan is no longer here. All I can do for her is to burn some paper money."
Yes, my daughter went out of the house once and came back with some sacrificial items. Some of them were folded, and some were folded by her, just to be burned in front of Jun Ling in Lanxuan County."
"Father, it's okay. My health has always been good. Grandma has taken good care of me. As long as I don't have any big movements, I'll be fine." Yu Xijiao reassured Yu Ruiwen.
"It still doesn't work. You go to Zhengyuanhou's Mansion... I'm worried about my father." Yu Ruiwen still didn't agree. His daughter went to Zhengyuanhou's Mansion twice, and something happened both times. Yu Ruiwen felt that even if nothing happened here, his daughter and Zhengyuan
The Yuanhou Mansion is also a mismatch, "I will take the things you broke and burn them for my father to Lord Lanxuan County!"
"Father, don't worry, my daughter will be in the mourning hall when the time comes and she won't go anywhere." Yu Ruiwen's attitude was firm, but Yu Xijiao shook her head, with a smile that was a bit like a little daughter's, "Father, I will not go anywhere."
Something will happen. This time I won't go anywhere, just to that place. There are many people coming and going there. Even if there is... something, they won't dare to do anything to me."
There were too many meanings in these vague words, but Yu Ruiwen understood it. Now he was most worried about Ning. He looked up at his daughter's expectant look, but he couldn't bear to reject her.
Thinking about it, it's just above the mourning hall. If I come over from time to time to take care of him, he should be fine.
After all, he nodded: "You have to promise me that you will never wander around, let alone leave the mourning hall. Father will find someone to keep an eye on the mourning hall, and you will not suffer any loss."
After these two incidents, Yu Ruiwen really didn't dare to leave his daughter alone in the mourning hall.
"Thank you, father!" Yu Xijiao stood up and bowed to Yu Ruiwen happily.
"Okay, I'll go back and rest for a while. You should also rest. Re-bandage your wounds and drink some medicine. When I pass by, I will send someone to pick you up." Yu Ruiwen stood up and ordered.
"Father, my daughter knows." Yu Xijiao smiled and sent Yu Ruiwen to the door, and personally raised the curtain for him. After watching Yu Ruiwen go out, the curtain in his hand fell down, hiding the stern look in his eyes.
Yu Lanxuan's mourning hall...she must go there...
Not only does she have to go, but she also has to go and keep vigil...
