Yu Xijiao didn't, and only felt a strong sense of ridicule. The marriage between Yu Lanxue and Ning was made because Ning wanted her mother to move out of her grandfather's house.
That was Xing Qi, the eldest son of the fourth-rank official Xing Daren.
Originally, Yu Zhongyang was not favored by the Xingfu because of his status, let alone the eldest son. If not for his mother's lobbying, he would not have made such a good marriage.
Yu Xijiao pursed her lips. She didn't know how Yu Lanxue entered the palace in the dream, but no matter what, her marriage would definitely end. Otherwise, if a king seizes his minister's wife, even if he is the emperor, this
At this time, it is difficult to stop everyone from talking about Youyou.
Yu Lanxue would break off the engagement, and she would break off the engagement without any harm. Such a break-up would minimize the damage to Yu Lanxue. Breaking off the engagement is always harmful to women, let alone doing this.
easy.
How did Yu Lanxue break off the engagement without causing any harm?
Are all the faults the other party's?
He frowned slightly, wondering if he had forgotten something, and frowned slightly.
Seeing her frowning, the maid who was kneeling on the ground became angry again: "Girl, your marriage was arranged long ago, and now it must have not been canceled. Even if you are dissatisfied with this marriage, there will be a big ceremony in the house...
Madam Hou and the county prince are both gone, so they have to come over to pay their respects, but now... no one is coming. This is obviously... intentional."
The maid also felt aggrieved as she spoke, sobbed and cried.
The master and the servant were in tears relative to each other, looking extremely miserable.
Yu Xi was silent for a moment, and then said: "This matter of clan sister is a big deal. Why not ask Mrs. Ning to send someone to ask."
"My mother is caring about my sister wholeheartedly now. No matter who comes over, my mother will be very angry. I'd better forget about things like this." Yu Lanxue said, raising her hand and wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
The wide sleeves fell, and suddenly a trace of blood was seen on the back of her white and tender hands, which was very clear.
"How did the clan sister get injured?" Yu Xijiao asked, her eyes falling on the blood stain.
"It's nothing, I just bumped into it accidentally." Yu Lanxue twitched her hand and immediately dropped it, as if she was covering something up, and smiled dryly.
At first glance, he was trying to evade it, so he forced a smile and stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he brought up the past: "If sister Wanxi feels unwell for a while, tell her, she can rest there."
."
As he spoke, he pulled the maid's sleeve and motioned for her to get up.
The maid hurriedly stood up and followed her to a brazier at the back. The master and servant knelt down in a polite manner.
Seeing that Yu Lanxue had stopped talking at such a critical moment, Yu Xijiao didn't care, and knelt in front of the brazier, sneering in her heart. Yu Lanxue was still so good at figuring out people's hearts. At this time, she would only lose track of the topic.
It makes people want to know the cause of the matter even more. The injury on the hand may be another cause.
But look what Yu Lanxue said!
However, she didn't want to follow Yu Lanxue's intention and asked. She was now waiting for something to happen...
They were kneeling properly on one side, and the fourth girl from the third room of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and another clan girl were kneeling on the other side. They were the ones guarding the first half of the night.
Aunt Xu hurried in, holding a food basket in her hand. As soon as she entered the door, she looked around for Yu Xijiao. She was wearing plain white clothes. Several similar girls were kneeling together. For a moment, she really didn’t know who her girl was.
.
"What are you holding?" Ning's face darkened when she saw Nanny Xu and asked.
"I'm reporting to Mrs. Ning, these are pastries prepared for our girl. Our girl was injured and just didn't use a few bites. I was afraid that the girl wouldn't be able to hold on for a while, so I specially picked a pastry from the kitchen at home." Xu
Grandma hurriedly smiled and said, pointing at the food basket.
"Did you just ask the mother-in-law in the mourning hall to step down?" Ning snorted coldly and glared at Nanny Xu.
"The old slave will accompany our girl here and let her go to have a meal." Nanny Xu said.
"Then where have you been?" Ning looked at Nanny Xu with a sullen face. She was angry and wanted to find trouble. She had not been able to do anything to Yu Xijiao before, so naturally she had no intention of sparing Nanny Xu now.
.
"Mrs. Ning, didn't I just say this? It was my intention. I was injured, and people around me were worried about my poor health. This is also what my father meant. If you don't believe me, you can ask me to ask my father." Yu
Xi Jiao raised her head and said, Ning was planning to point out this matter without mercy.
Go to see Marquis Xuanping?
That is impossible!
Ning took a few breaths. She wanted to bully Yu Xijiao and slap Yu Xijiao hard on the face, but she didn't dare to bump into Marquis Xuanping. Marquis Xuanping had never given her a slap in the face before.
He snorted coldly, ignored Nanny Xu, and let her go.
Nanny Xu hurriedly brought the cakes to Yu Xijiao and opened the food basket. Yu Xijiao took a look at it, but she was not very interested and shook her hand: "No, I still don't want to eat it."
"The girl is not in good health. How can we forget about it? Let's use some first!" Aunt Xu advised, "It will take until midnight to rest. The girl's body can't bear it."
"Mom...it's too sweet." Yu Xijiao frowned, "I want to use the pastries from the house."
Nanny Xu was stunned for a moment, but she immediately responded: "Girl, I will go back to the house to get it now."
It actually doesn't take long to go back through the side door.
"Let's forget it, trouble." Yu Xijiao shook her head. She looked like she had no feeling for the pastries and turned her head away.
"Girl, it's not just about the cakes, you also have to take medicine. When you came here before, the medicine at night was useless." Qingyue advised from the side, "Why don't you let Aunt Xu go and take the medicine?
Come here and bring some pastries, okay?"
Medicine is definitely necessary, although cakes are not necessary, but since I am going back, it is not a big deal to bring some cakes.
"Then...then, Nanny Xu, you stay and let Qingyue get it." Yu Xijiao finally nodded and agreed.
"Aunt Xu, you stay here with the girl. I am young and have fast legs. I will be back soon." Qingyue stood up and reached out to pick up the food basket.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Xu could only nod helplessly.
Qingyue walked out with the food basket.
Seeing the food basket being carried up and back, Ning glanced sideways with disdain.
Qingyue came out with the food basket and walked towards a small road, which was leading to the side door of Xuanpinghou Mansion. After walking a few steps, she looked around and saw that the sky had darkened and Zhengyuanhou Mansion had already lit up.
There was no light, but this place was full of tree shadows, and because it led to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, no one came there.
After taking the box hidden behind a tree and putting it into the food basket, Qingyue went to the side door.
There are so many people coming and going between Xuanpinghou Mansion and Zhengyuanhou Mansion in the past two days. The people at Zhengyuanhou Mansion are busy with things and have no people here. Only a woman from Xuanpinghou Mansion is here.
Seeing Qingyue coming with a food basket, she curiously asked, "What delicious food did Miss Qingyue bring from Zhengyuanhou Mansion?"
"There's nothing delicious, just a pastry. The girl didn't want the food from Zhengyuanhou's house, so I thought of using the food from our own house. It happened that the girl hadn't taken any medicine yet, so she came here specially." Qingyue put down the food basket and took it out.
A piece of cake was handed to the mother-in-law's hand, "Mommy is tired of staying here. I may have to ask her to close the door slowly. I have to go over."
"Today was supposed to be after midnight, so why are you tired?" The mother-in-law was very happy to be able to get a cake for free, and she became more and more polite in her words.
Originally, the servants in the mansion had no feelings for the new third girl. They all felt that whether this third girl came or not, the head of the family has always been the wife. After being raised in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years, the Marquis should not come.
To my heart's content, I didn't expect that my wife would be killed as soon as I arrived.
As servants like them, they are naturally cautious and try to make friends with them better.
Qingyue carried the food basket back to Yaoshui Pavilion, put the box away, and then went to see the medicine that the little maid was frying. When she left, she asked the little maid to fry it first. This one was left behind.
The maid looked timid, but Qingyue thought she was pitiful and very well-behaved, so she left her behind.
These are the few maids left in Yaoshui Pavilion, mother-in-law.
The medicine was almost ready, Qingyue went to the kitchen to get a light pastry, and the medicine would be ready when she came back!
Put the medicine jar into the food basket, take another bowl and put it in, and finally put the cakes on the top layer of the food basket, and then came back with the food basket.
At this time, a group of female crowns had already arrived at the mourning hall.
The emperor believes in alchemists and real people, and people in the capital are willing to invite Taoist priests when mourning. There are also Taoist priests and monks who are invited together. After all, many people still believe in Buddhism. Besides, there is also a royal temple, Fayun Temple, in the capital.
The Marquis of Zhengyuan invited a group of Taoist nuns to come over. They were Taoist nuns from Xia Qing Temple, who were also very famous in the capital.
This lower courtyard is full of Taoist nuns, so although it is the lower courtyard of Shangqing Temple, it is not much inferior to Shangqing Temple.
Sometimes the incense is even stronger.
This group of female crowns were performing rituals, and everyone stepped aside. Only the four sisters from the Yu Xijiao tribe were still kneeling there, throwing some paper money into the brazier from time to time.
Qingyue walked in from behind the crowd, then circled to the side, from behind Bai Man, who was in charge, to behind Yu Xijiao.
"Girl, Qingyue is here." Nanny Xu's eyes were sharp and she immediately saw Qingyue. After moving a little bit, she made some room. Qingyue put down the food basket and took out the pastries first and then the other.
Take the medicine jar, pour out the tea soup from the bowl, and hand it to Yu Xijiao.
Along the way, the medicinal soup has warmed up and is ready to drink.
Yu Xijiao took it, frowned and drank a few sips, handed the bowl to Qingyue, and shook her head.
"Girl, although this medicine is a bit bitter, you can't just drink some more." Nanny Xu said with a serious face, reaching out and pushing the bowl in front of Yu Xijiao. The girl has been unwilling to drink it since she was a child.
Every time you drink half of medicine, half of it is wasted.
Yu Xijiao glanced at Nanny Xu and saw her face full of persistence, so she had no choice but to take the medicine bowl again and drink it all in one gulp with a frown on her face.
Then he gave the medicine to Aunt Xu.
"Hey, what is this?" Nanny Xu put the things into the food basket, then stood up and prepared to leave, when she suddenly heard someone beside her scream.
In this solemn mourning hall, these words were a little trembling, but very clear...
