Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 86 Forced Marriage (3)
The little lady spoke so seriously, and Mrs. Wei also looked at it squarely. Just mentioning it, there was indeed something in the past. At that time, she doubted it for a long time, her body trembled, and she sat up straight: "It was that winter night..."

In winter, at night, upon hearing these two key words, Yun Wanqin knew that it really happened.

"At that time, your mother had just confinement, and the servant girl was about to return to Xu's house. It was cold that night, and the servant girl was afraid that the stove in the house would not be hot, so she went outside to carry a basket of firewood. When she came back, she was about to enter the door. Look at my aunt. My aunt has sent out all the maids in your mother’s house, and wants us to go back to the servant’s room. He said that he has something to talk to the lady alone, and the servants will come to serve him when he calls. About Half an hour later, the maidservant hadn't waited for the aunt to call, and she was worried that the stove in your mother's house had gone out. She was just out of confinement, and if she caught a cold, she would suffer from the root cause of the disease. Hu Meizi surnamed Bai often quarreled, and the slaves were even more worried, for fear that the two of them would quarrel again, so they secretly ran to the main courtyard, intending to take a look."

Yun Wanqin held her breath.

Mrs. Wei continued to recall: "I was going around the Chaoshou corridor, and the servant hadn't even stepped into the main courtyard. I ran into a black shadow head-on, and almost hit it." Her throat moved: "It turned out to be a man with a face. The servant was not scared. Out of the soul, I thought it was a thief, and yelled on the spot, the man covered the mouth of the servant... After the man let the servant go, the servant was still unable to recover! Later, the servant ran down the corridor, met Looking at the aunt, saying that a thief has entered the house, the aunt immediately told the servant to shut up, saying that the servant was blind and yelling. The servant turned around and thought about it carefully. Come out, think about it again, didn’t the uncle say, did he talk to the young lady in the house? Why is he outside alone? This matter has troubled the slaves for a long time, but after a long time, they will be forgotten, maybe they really fainted that night My head, I misunderstood, that person might just be a servant in the house, after all, the servants are not from the Yun family, they usually take care of the young lady in the house, rarely deal with other people, maybe they are servants they don't know."

"Mother Wei," Yun Wanqin's palms dripped with sweat, "How old is that man, what he looks like, how he is dressed, have you seen it clearly?"

Mrs. Wei muttered: "It was late at night, the lights in the porch were not on, and I couldn't see the man's face clearly. I only knew that the man was tall and should be about the same age as the master. When he covered the mouth of the servant, the servant saw His eyes are sharp and sharp, and he is very majestic, but he is more imposing than the master... I can't see clearly through his clothes, but..."

"But what?" Yun Wan raised her eyebrows.

Mrs. Wei's face was full of incomprehension: "The servant vaguely saw the man coming down the corridor, and there seemed to be a person on the opposite side to meet him. The man was shorter and thinner, and his figure looked strange. Came together, looks like a squire—"

This is amazing!

There might be more than one person who came to the Minister's Mansion that night!

Going to other people's homes in the middle of the night, having a private tryst with other people's wives, and even bringing the servants with them!Stand outside and watch out majestically!

The owner also helped to clear the place and drive away the slaves!
Who has such arrogance! ?

When Mrs. Wei said this, she finally understood what Yun Wanqin meant, and panicked: "Miss, what you mean is that the man that the servants saw that night belonged to your mother..."

Yun Wanqin only felt that she had stepped into a mystery, and it was difficult to pull it out again. Mother would never know a man after marriage. Have you ever had contact with any outsider?"

Ten years ago, the man who stepped into the Shi Lang's mansion on this winter night was covered with more and more doubts. She had to know who it was.

Mrs. Wei was thinking hard, her brows were frowned, and after a while, she took a deep breath: "I really don't have any cousins ​​who were close to Miss before marriage, but before Miss got married, there was one thing I don't know Does it matter? That year Miss Sixteen went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows. Not long after she was in the Daxiong Hall, the little novice came in and said that a minister from the court came to worship Buddha and wanted to clear the place. Xiangguo Temple is an ancient temple built by the royal family, and some nobles often come , it’s not surprising, we left the main hall, and within a few steps of going out, we were greeted by a group of people, probably the ministers and his party who came to worship, we are all female relatives, it’s not convenient to look more, but before we got off the stairs, there were people Chasing us, saying that his master said, it's okay, and asked our master to go into the hall to burn incense, so as not to spoil the elegance of others. The lady was not having fun at first, but she was very happy when she heard that she brought more people, so she was afraid of disturbing The reasonable minister only brought Ming Cui in. After going in, she didn't come out until an hour later. Seeing that her face was flushed, there seemed to be something wrong. After asking a few words, she only said that it was stuffy inside. Ask Ming Cui again, Ming Cui doesn't mention a word, this matter is just exposed—"

After a pause, Mrs. Wei said: "Thinking about it now, on that day, there were only the young lady and the minister who worshiped Buddha in the Daxiong Palace. Although the Daxiong Palace is big, the two of them will inevitably talk. been close?"

"The servant who worshiped Buddha on the same day as my mother, do you know who it is? What kind of attire? Or, did Mama Wei hear how others called him?" Yun Wanqin asked.

"This is really difficult for slaves, I really didn't dare to ask more questions at that time!" Mrs. Wei responded, "A group of guards were tightly guarding, and the official stood in the middle, who was about the same age as my uncle, and I could vaguely hear a servant next to him. What are you calling him... Gong? Oh yes, there is a mole on the back of this man's hand, and there is a man next to him, who seems to be wearing a long green silk robe, anyway, he is surrounded by people tightly, how can he see clearly."

Yun Wan frowned: "Is the maid who accompanied my mother still there?"

Mrs. Wei shook her head: "It's long gone, I'm old, I'm out of the house and married, I don't know where I've moved to."

The last thread was also broken.

Yun Wanqin was a little disappointed, but at least she knew that the private meeting between mother and a foreigner that night was indeed true, and mother might actually have a man she knew.

Father knew it clearly, but he was not annoyed, and he actually helped to make the wedding dress. That man must have power over him, could he be the man who worshiped Buddha that day... the minister of the Lord?
This thread is too broad.

Adding a man to a man's surname is a title, just like Yun Xuanchang, and some colleagues are used to calling him "Yun Gong".

And the mole on the back of the hand... She couldn't go and investigate the hands of Manchu Wenwu one by one!
After asking Mrs. Wei not to reveal what happened today, and to return to Beijing tomorrow, Yun Wanqin fell asleep.

The next day, at dawn, Yun Wanqin explained a few words, then took her younger brother, and boarded the carriage back to Beijing.

Imperial City, outside the Golden Luan Hall.

During the day, at noon, after the next day.
