Seeing that He Runjia's eyes were about to fall on Fu Yunqi, Shu Qingqing laughed out loud and said: "Miaoer has been tired from traveling and traveling, and he hasn't rested since he came back. How about we let him and his wife take a rest first? Baitao——"
"Yes, Second Madam." Baitao responded and came forward.
"Little aunt, Yunqi and I want to go to the ancestral hall first," Chu Miaoer said softly, "He came back specially this time to offer incense to my grandmother and mother."
After hearing this, Shu Qingqing nodded repeatedly, and her opinion of Fu Yunqi became better. It turned out that the rumors from the outside were not necessarily true. She stood up with a smile, "Then I will go with you. Do you want my elder brother and sister-in-law to go with us?"
Wen Yuening was not kind to the old lady when she was alive. Now that she has passed away, she would not even want to step into the ancestral hall unless she had to. He Mufeng felt guilty for his mother and had no face to face her and his ancestors.
Wen Yuening smiled politely and said: "The dinner in the house is not ready yet. I will go to the kitchen later to guard it to avoid mistakes. You go." As soon as she said this, He Mufeng and He Runjia also nodded in agreement.
What could go wrong in preparing food in the kitchen? Everyone knew that this was just her excuse, so they didn't care too much about it.
"Baitao, you and Zhixia may not have seen each other for a long time. You can go ahead and I'll just take them there." Shu Qingqing said knowingly.
"You go ahead." With Chu Miao'er's consent, Baitao left with a smile. Looking at the two people leaving hand in hand, Shu Qingqing seemed to sigh, "Zhixia often talks about Baitao in the house, for fear that
Her temperament was bullied by others in the palace, and now she seems to have lost some temper. She must be living a good life, and Zhixia feels relieved now."
Chu Miaoer walked in front with her and said as they walked, "Baitao's temperament has not changed. Everyone in the house is working with her. Right now I am helping her find a marriage partner."
"Seriously? Tell me who that person is? What does he look like?" Shu Qingqing was surprised and happy, her round eyes instantly enlarged, and she asked urgently, "That girl Baitao has a simple temper, don't be deceived.
go."
"No, he knows the basics and has good conduct." Chu Miaoer winked playfully and motioned for her to look back, "This person is right in front of me."
Except for Fu Yunqi, there were all the guards around him behind. Shu Qingqing quietly looked at him with his peripheral vision, and he understood in his mind. He turned around and whispered: "It seems that his appearance is okay. As long as you are here, I can't do anything about him."
The moth is coming."
Tingfeng had long since noticed that she was secretly sizing him up, and he didn't know why. He just felt that he didn't know when it started, and the fourth princess became so talkative that her laughter sometimes made people panic.
"Your Majesty," Tingfeng walked closer and asked quietly, "why do the princesses and the others look at me like this? Did I do something wrong recently?"
At this time, he just walked to the ancestral hall. Shu Qingqing turned around and said loudly: "Anyone who has nothing to do with it is waiting outside the door, Yunqi, come quickly!"
"Ask her yourself." Fu Yunqi dropped these words and quickly followed her, turning around and entering the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is always filled with the smell of incense, and the ancestors are arranged in order, neatly and orderly. Under the guidance of Shu Qingqing, Chu Miaoer and Fu Yunchi quickly left the ancestral hall.
"If your grandmother knew something about it, she would be very happy. Fortunately, you have found a good husband, which can make up for the debts owed to you by the He Mansion and the Chu Mansion." Shu Qingqing held her hand and came out of the ancestral hall, feeling in her heart
Immediately, he was filled with emotion, "Your mother was also a hard-working person, and she was unable to share the same cave with your father after her death. Your grandmother always felt sorry for your mother during her lifetime, and she was also afraid that your mother would not forgive her when she was dying."
Chu Miao'er had only vaguely heard of these things from her grandmother's occasional murmurs in her dreams, and she had never investigated the reasons in detail. Now that she heard Shu Qingqing say this, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Little aunt, I have never understood why my grandmother insisted on moving my mother's ashes back to Dongling?" Chu Miaoer asked softly.
"Hey," Shu Qingqing sighed, as if remembering the past many years ago, her eyes began to become distant, "Back then, your father passed by Dongling and fell in love with your mother at first sight. At that time, your mother was still in the boudoir.
Many people from Dongling came to propose marriage, but she didn't like it and insisted on following your father to Kyoto."
"Grandma shouldn't be willing, right?" Chu Miao'er said with certainty. Her grandfather passed away early, and she had to work hard to support the He Mansion all those years. She also raised the three children by herself, although the He Mansion had no
Although she is extremely wealthy, she is considered a well-known and wealthy family in Dongling. My mother is seven or eight years younger than her uncle, so she can be regarded as a real "old man with a son". Everyone in the house dotes on her and pampers her. I heard that she
When she was born, my grandfather held her tightly in his hands and was reluctant to let go.
"Who is willing?" Shu Qingqing shook her head gently, "Back then, your father was waiting outside the house, and your grandmother locked your mother in the room and didn't allow her to go out. Who knew that she could go and see her the next day?
, where is your mother in the room? She only left a letter and left with your father. On the day you were born, your father sent someone to send a letter back..."
"You said I killed my mother and then sent me back to He's Mansion overnight?" Chu Miao'er said lightly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. These things had nothing to do with her in the first place, but she just
When I came here, I always dreamed of Chu Miao'er entrusting her with her dreams at night. Naturally, I knew some of what happened to her when she was a child, and I naturally felt her anger and grievances. At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but gradually I became more comfortable.
Shao saw Chu Miao'er in his dream and didn't know if she had been reincarnated.
"Yes," Shu Qingqing nodded slightly, holding Chu Miao'er's hand and said slowly, "Although your grandmother is angry with your mother, she is still her own flesh and blood. Seeing you, she pities you even more. Later, she learned that your mother's body was still cold.
The eldest lady then entered the Chu Mansion, and your grandmother left overnight for Kyoto, personally came to receive your mother's ashes, and even set up a new spiritual tablet."
"No wonder the surname of the Chu family was not written on my mother's spirit tablet, but 'Three Daughters of the He Family'. It turned out to be like this." When she went to the ancestral hall to say goodbye to her mother before getting married, she saw the inscription on the spirit plate, but at that time
I didn't ask about the reason, but now after hearing what my aunt told me, I feel that my mother is a pitiful woman.
Fu Yunqi, who was behind him, was also listening intently. Although he had already sent people to inquire about the grievances between Chu Mansion and He Mansion, he naturally did not know these details. After listening to these words, he finally understood why Chu Xiong used
He tried his best to replace Chu Xianxue with Chu Miaoer and marry him into the fourth prince's house.
"If it weren't for my eldest aunt to mediate, how would my mother, a pampered girl from the boudoir, have the courage to leave the house?" Chu Miao'er said coldly, "I don't believe it if you say it has nothing to do with her."
A few people were walking to the dining room, and the maid in the mansion happened to come over. "Second madam, the prince and princess, dinner is ready. The eldest madam has asked the servants to come and pick you up." The maid said politely.
"Okay, let's go now." Shu Qingqing responded with a smile, lowered her head and whispered to persuade, "Your aunt has changed a lot over the years, and she seems to regret the things she did back then. We don't want the things in the past.
Go pick it up."
Chu Miaoer smiled and nodded without saying a word. When they arrived at the dining room, they sat down according to their seniority. Sitting at the round table again, Chu Miaoer actually felt like he was in another world.
Seeing her in a daze, He Mufeng reminded Fu Yunqi softly: "Yunqi, Miao'er likes this dish the most. Please put more for her."
Fu Yunchi honestly put a lot of it into a bowl for Chu Miao'er, as if he were a good niece and son-in-law. Chu Miao'er looked at the food in the bowl and said to He Mufeng politely and distantly: "Thank you, uncle.
"
"Huh..." He Mufeng hadn't heard Chu Miao'er call him for a long time, so he grinned happily and responded a little shyly, "This kid... why is he being polite to uncle..."
Chu Miao'er looked at the shy and uneasy expression on his face, and only looked away from his face for a moment. He was afraid of his wife and allowed his wife and daughter to bully his brothers and sisters. This kind of person cannot get her.
of sympathy.
Seeing the love between Chu Miaoer and Fu Yunqi, He Runjia felt unhappy, but she pretended to be generous and said with a smile: "My cousin and her cousin's husband have a very good relationship. If my grandmother knew about it, she would be relieved, right, mother?"
"
Her words were sour, and anyone could hear the taste in them, but before her mother could answer her, Chu Miaoer's words knocked her back.
"I've just reported it to my grandmother. She must be too happy to miss Shu, but it's you, cousin," Chu Miaoer stared at her provocatively and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, "I often told Yunqi that you and my cousin's husband
The case was raised and eyebrows raised. Before entering the house, Yunqi was still saying that he wanted to see his cousin-in-law. Cousin, why didn't his cousin-in-law come? "
He Runjia's husband was also from a well-known and wealthy family in Dongling. He and Zhang's family were considered family friends. They had been engaged since they were young. To outsiders, it seemed like a good marriage. Originally, the couple was considered a lover and a concubine.
, but He Runjia had nothing to do for many years, so the family couldn't bear it anymore, and her husband took in many concubines. Before Chu Miaoer got married, He Runjia was often encouraged to run to her parents' house every three days, sometimes with a face.
There were bruises on his face, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was not living a good life.
Seeing the situation in front of her, Shu Qingqing wanted to persuade her, but before she could speak, the hand placed under the table was held by He Muchang. She looked at He Muchang's eyes and closed her mouth.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, He Runjia's expression immediately changed, and the smile on his face could not be held back. Wen Yuening smiled awkwardly and explained: "The Zhang family's winery has been busy recently, so I couldn't spare the time.
Come."
"No matter how busy the wine shop is, you can still find time. It's not like my cousin-in-law is making wine himself," Chu Miao'er turned to look at Fu Yunqi, who was listening to the show, and said slowly, "If my cousin-in-law is so busy that he can't spare any time,
Come out, why don't we go to Zhang's house to meet in person? Otherwise, if we don't even meet each other when we return to Dongling, will it seem like the two of us are too unruly?"
