Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 96

After Aunt Zhao had a miscarriage, the formerly bustling Xiangxue Courtyard became a forbidden place, and Aunt Zhao cried in it every day, asking to see the master.But the doctor said that Aunt Zhao suffered a cataract and had a miscarriage this time, but she could no longer have children after recovering her life.

Where did the old lady allow her to see Liu Shicheng, it's useless to keep a hen that can't lay eggs.It was said that it was unlucky for Xiangxueyuan to have just had a child, and every day he arranged for Liu Shicheng to go to other aunts so that she could hold her grandson again.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year, and Aunt Zhao of Xiangxueyuan went crazy, running around the yard every day looking for children, and was sent back to her own hometown.Cuilian, who had not been a concubine for a long time, was also crushed and left with nothing.

All of a sudden, Liu Mansion became empty and quiet.The old lady struggled every day to buy a few more concubines to enter the mansion, but the war between Dongling and Nanzhao was tense, the treasury was empty, and even the salaries of officials were cut.

Liu's mansion was barely maintained, but they really couldn't spend any extra money to marry another concubine.The old lady's wish could only be put on hold for now, but good news came from the frontier, saying that the third young master Liu Yunche had made great contributions to defeating the enemy and was canonized as the commander of the fourth-rank Xiaoqi, and his official position was still above Liu Shicheng.

This is not bad, the Liu Mansion is like an exploding pot, everyone from the master to the servants are talking about this matter.Some people are happy, some people are sad.

Aunt Chen was made a noble concubine overnight, Madam He was favored for a few days, and then fell heavily from the clouds, the fall was extremely painful.

In the previous life, Liu Yunche became the commander-in-chief of the fourth grade, but because of Liu Yunxi and the He family's obstruction, Aunt Chen was allowed to keep her duty as a woman in the backyard and not expect too much, so that she would be an ordinary aunt until she died.

It's not like this life, with Aunt Zhao's mother being the first to be a concubine because of her son, Aunt Chen was easily promoted by the old lady to be a concubine. Who dares to say no in the backyard?
The imperial court gave some rewards, and he could have married a few more concubines, but was suppressed by the old lady.This Aunt Chen has just become a noble concubine, how can she add a newcomer so quickly.In any case, Liu Yunche had to come back to take a look at the New Year's Eve. The Liu family treated his mother well, so that he could do his best for the future of the Liu family.

The courtyard is full of old faces, Liu Shicheng feels gloomy and unhappy.In the end, the old lady promised him that once Liu Yunche left, she would marry a few more aunts into the house, and Liu Shicheng's complexion turned better.

The winter snow has fallen several times, and the winter is gradually entering, and the end of the year is coming.

Everyone in the Liu family got busy, cleaning the yard, stocking up on ingredients, and waiting for Liu Yunche to return home.

Under the paper window, fingers fluttered, and after a while, they cut out a piece of lucky characters of Pisces conjoined.

Seeing that the winter plums in the garden were blooming just right, Sister Wen cut two branches and put them in a porcelain vase, and put them on the small table in front of the window.

Liu Yunjin smelled the fragrance, raised her head slightly, and the red fox fur around her neck lined her delicate little face like snow, "How is the mother, when is my younger brother coming back?"

Mother Wen warmed up the stove before she said: "The servant also sent a letter to ask the acquaintances in the palace. The road has been blocked by heavy snow for the past few days. It may take another three days for the returning army to reach Antai."

While speaking, a Spring Returning Flying Swallow was cut out from Liu Yunjin's hands, and Tao'er looked at it so lifelike, she couldn't help but take it, "Miss's hands are really skillful, in the past, the big and small window grilles in our mansion were all cut by the lady." Yes. Miss, are you going to cut it this year?"

"What I did before was useless," Liu Yunjin smiled lightly, picked out a few exquisite window grilles and handed them to Tao'er, "You have nothing to do here, why don't you run errands for me. Give these window grilles to Tao'er." Aunt Zhang and Aunt Chen sent them off, the third brother lived in Guansai for a long time and could only come back once a year, this piece of Spring Swallow returning to the nest is most suitable for Aunt Chen."

Tao'er seemed to understand but she didn't understand, but Nanny Wen clearly heard the overtones.

After Tao'er left, Mother Wen asked: "Miss, is she planning to win over Aunt Chen and the third young master? It's just that the third young master is not in the mansion all the year round, so there is very little help for the young lady..."

Liu Yunjin put down the silver scissors in his hand, carefully looked at the several winter plums blooming in the porcelain vase, and smiled unfathomably, "Mammy is right, but I have to help him this time, it is also his fate. Young and promising, he has a bright future and is a good chess player. It would be a pity if he died in the hands of the vicious woman in the backyard."

This was originally a matter of her own thoughts, and it was only for selfishness, but it changed the fate of the entire Tangling Dynasty in the future.

On the second day, Aunt Chen came to visit Mo Yuxuan, which was expected by Liu Yunjin.

Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang have entered the mansion together for more than ten years, their faces are not young, they look old and calm.Fortunately, she gave birth to a concubine, who was not cared about like Aunt Zhang.Also relying on this promising son, he survived and became a noble concubine that the aunts in the backyard couldn't hope for.

It's just that there is no smile on this simple and mediocre face, and the reddish eyes don't know whether they have just cried or the cold wind blows.

Aunt Chen stood firmly in front of Liu Yunjin, her face full of embarrassment.Although she is already a noble concubine, she is still as timid and uneasy as before.Fortunately, Liu Yunche was raised by Liu Shicheng in the army since he was a child, and was not raised under Aunt Chen's knees, otherwise, it would not be easy for this child to stand out.

"You don't have to be restrained, Auntie. It's freezing outside, warm your hands with Mrs. Tang first." Liu Yunjin handed her Mrs. Tang over.

Someone with a little discernment would definitely refuse, but Aunt Chen looked dull and shy, she didn't know what to say or do, she just took Liu Yunjin's Mrs Tang and put it in her arms.

It would be arrogant and rude to be someone else.But when Aunt Chen did it, she only looked petty, as if she had never seen the world.

Looking at her like this, Liu Yunjin sighed inwardly.If I don't protect her a bit, the position of noble concubine will be her last tomb.In order to win over Liu Yunche, Aunt Chen couldn't die.

Huanyu served tea as usual, and Huanzhu moved a chair for Aunt Chen to sit down.

"The day after tomorrow, the third brother will return home, just before the New Year's Eve." Year after year passed so quickly.

On New Year's Eve, it will snow again, and the river pond in the garden is covered with thin ice, which is bitingly cold.And her third brother died in that river pond, and when he was fished up, there was still a smile on his face after seeing his relatives.

That night, Aunt Chen's pitiful and heart-piercing howls still seemed to be lingering in her ears.

Aunt Chen, who drank hot tea and warmed up her body, finally stopped being dull and had a smile on her face, "Yes! Yun Che will be back soon, and I haven't looked at him carefully for several years! Leading troops to fight is so hard Husband Master is too cruel, if something happens to Yun Che, how should I live!"

After the smile faded away, Aunt Chen wiped her tears with her sleeve in a panic, and Huanyu who was standing by the side immediately handed over a clean handkerchief.

A loving mother loses many children.Listening to Aunt Chen's crying, Liu Yunjin only had these words in her heart.If Liu Yunche could achieve anything by raising him in the backyard, he would probably die faster than on the battlefield.

Aunt Chen is pedantic and short-sighted, and she doesn't bother to waste her words.

Just following Aunt Chen's words and continued: "Do you want to see your son alone, Auntie?"

These words were like a ray of light, illuminating Aunt Chen's face, "I...can I really see him alone? He is the young master of the mansion, and he is considered to be raised under the eldest lady's lap. How can I have the right to go?" meet him."

Every year, she could only look at Liu Yunche from a distance when having New Year's Eve dinner together, and she couldn't even go up to say a few words to him.She was afraid that her humble status would bring trouble to Liu Yunche.

Coincidentally, Aunt Chen was raised as a noble concubine this time, so she was able to meet her son in a fair and honest manner.In the previous life, I'm afraid it's really not easy!

"Don't worry, Auntie, just clean the house and cook a few of my third brother's favorite dishes. When my third brother comes back, I'll let him see you." Liu Yunjin said lightly, as if agreeing casually, but The majesty and demeanor flowing out made Aunt Chen not suspicious at all.

"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness, I will never forget it!" Aunt Chen smiled happily, tears welled up in her eyes, this time it was the joy of getting her wish.
