Concubine like a house

Chapter 69: The Spring Breeze is Easy
After Yun Xian's begging, Mrs. Tai and Chu Xiu decided to hide Wen Xian's affairs from the second lady, Yun Muge.No matter what the third concubine did during her lifetime or the cause of her death, as a daughter, Yun Muge didn't know anything about it. She only knew that Wen Xian died of a sudden serious illness on the way out to visit her relatives.

This innocent girl who is only 13 years old will always remember the beautiful side of her mother.Those filthy and vicious insides are gradually annihilated with Wen Xian's death... On the third day after Wen Xian's death, Yun Xian resigned from Mrs. Tai and Chuxiu, thinking of taking care of Yun's business in Jingzhou for a long time.This is equivalent to "self-invitation to release", the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also knew that he would have no face to stay in the mansion, so they granted this request.

On the day Yun Xian was leaving, Yun Muge was still immersed in the pain of losing his mother, Mrs. Tai and Chuxiu did not show up, and only the fourth aunt Tailuanqing gave him a ride in the huge Yunfu. .Originally, in this matter, Luanqing was to blame for not reporting it, but Mrs. Tai didn't blame her any more.

The reason is, after all, Luanqing tried her best to save the lives of the two Li Xinhous, and she made a big mistake because of the word "love".

The word love is the most disturbing. Mrs. Tai and Chuxiu are people who have been there, so they can more or less understand it.

On the third day of March, outside the city of Yanlan, there is a drizzle falling in the long pavilion ten miles away.The rain fell on Liren's cheeks and then slowly slid down, like tears of parting.In this situation, at this moment, no one is holding an umbrella.

"From now on, we will probably never see each other again. You...take care." Yun Xian's crimson clothes were stained thickly by the rain, just like his state of mind at the moment, heavy and depressed, even dripping with blood.

Luanqing didn't speak for a long time, and her light-colored pupils were filled with inexplicable things, such as sadness, despair, regret, reluctance, and sadness.But if you look carefully, there is only a breathtaking beauty of alien races left.

"Third Master, take care too." In the end, that was all she said.In fact, there is nothing to say. Although Yun Xian is not married, he has raised two beautiful maidservants. This time he went to Jingzhou and brought them with him.There is someone who cares for him, and he is not a poor family who lacks gold and silver. Even if he is outside, life will not be too difficult.Luanqing raised her sleeves to wipe off the rain on her cheeks, then turned and walked towards her carriage. "Luanqing!" Yun Xian suddenly called her from behind, and this was the first time he didn't call her "fourth aunt".Luanqing stopped and turned to look at him. Although they were only a few steps away, neither of them took a step forward.When something like this happened, both of them were guilty, and no matter how much affection they had, they were all buried with Wen Xian's death.She was his concubine, and the relationship was hopeless. "You're still young, why don't you... remarry." Yun Xian said this with bitterness in his mouth, maybe even more bitter in his heart, but he no longer wanted to feel it. It's not suitable for you... you'd better remarry."

Luanqing stared at Yun Xian through the rain curtain for a while before smiling back: "Thank you for your concern, Third Master. In fact, from the beginning to the end, my name was not on the family tree... Madam Tai has let me go."

Luanqing's name isn't on the Yun family tree?Yun Xian was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, it was only natural.That being the case, does that mean that she has always been free?

Suddenly, a thought jumped out of Yun Xian's heart, he looked at Luan Qing, and almost blurted out something.He knew that Luanqing was also waiting for him to speak out.However, whether it was due to the shackles of etiquette, or because of the right and wrong of the past, he couldn't say anything, although there were only three short words - "Follow me".

After all, she was his concubine, seven years older than him.And he wasn't sure if he would be able to forget what his mother Wenxian did, and whether he would be able to get rid of the lifelong guilt towards his father, Hou Yunli, and his elder brother Yunci, after facing each other day by day.

That's all, it was a wrong fate, it shouldn't have started at the beginning, and it shouldn't continue now.Yun Xian chose to remain silent.Luanqing seemed to have expected his reaction, so her expectant eyes only flickered for a moment, and then fell silent again.She watched him hesitate to speak, knowing his inner pain and struggle, finally she took the lead in smiling and said: "Third Master, take care. The world is far away and the mountains are long and the rivers are wide. Let's... forget each other two by two." The foreign woman who dared to love and hate turned around again, resolutely boarded the carriage and left.Forget each other in twos... Yun Xian was stunned to smell the strange fragrance left by Luanqing in the air, and with the rain, it became a poison that people like to eat.After a while, he suddenly realized that the direction Luanqing left just now was not Huiyun Mansion!Instead... go south at the fork ahead!

He goes north, she goes south.It turned out that it was really as she said, they wanted to forget each other in pairs.For a moment, Yun Xian wanted to catch up impulsively, but it was a pity that he quickly regained his senses and finally stopped.

Yun Xian smiled wryly to himself, and took a long breath of relief, as if he wanted to forget all the past.In the end, he glanced back in the direction of Yanyan City, boarded the carriage and resolutely headed north.

The drizzle accompanied by the rumbling of the carriage played a song of joys and sorrows.

the next day.After "recovering from illness", Yun Cheng practiced martial arts with Shen Yu again and returned from the shooting range.Chuxiu told the two of them about the third room. "It was only later that I found out that it was the Second Aunt who found that quack warlock again, and asked him to be Luanqing's senior brother, so that she could follow the vine." Chuxiu sighed heavily, "The second room was charged with this crime for nothing." It’s not in vain, they really wanted to harm people, but they didn’t succeed.” Shen Yu comforted, “You are very well-measured, and the crime is not as good as your children.” Suffering from high fever for several days." Chuxiu handed over the handkerchief, motioning Yun Cheng to wipe off his sweat.Yun Cheng took the handkerchief very obediently, wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "Actually, I don't feel uncomfortable. It's my uncle who made the medicine. It's just that I feel a little hot." "Yes, I want to thank you, Uncle Shen " Chuxiu looked at Shen Yu and Yun Cheng, inevitably thinking of Yun Ci again, and sighed with lowered eyebrows, "No matter what, Lord Hou's revenge is completely avenged this time. Cheng'er, do you think I'm cruel?" Yun Cheng was taken aback, and quickly shook his head: "How could that be? My mother has a deep affection for my father, and my son only feels admiration." Chuxiu pursed his lips, and after thinking for a while, he looked up at him: "I want you to participate in this matter because I want to You understand that although Li Xinhou's position is boundless, it is also difficult and dangerous. Your father was too generous and benevolent, so he was killed and died young. You have to learn from him. Although you can't have the intention of harming others, And you must never be unguarded.”

Yun Cheng nodded solemnly: "Son understands. Mother is doing it for my own good." Chuxiu nodded: "It's good that you understand. Let Qian Yun take you back to rest, I have something to say to your Uncle Shen. "Yun Cheng said "Yes", saluted Shen Yu again, and retreated with Qian Yun.As soon as Yun Cheng left, Shen Yu frowned and said: "Teaching children these conspiracies so early, will it be..." "This is not a conspiracy." Chuxiu interrupted him, "This is a way to protect yourself. Do you want to protect yourself? Let Cheng'er follow in the footsteps of Lord Hou?"

Shen Yu was dumb for a moment, then said: "Now that the second and third bedrooms are exhausted, Cheng'er is much safer, you should rest assured."

"Safety? How can there be any safety in Lixinhou's Mansion?" Chuxiu asked, "There are so many restless clansmen without my own people plotting against me, not to mention the fact that the North and the South are staring at each other. Turn your mind on Cheng'er?"

"You're right." Shen Yu always had reservations, "But I still think that 'goodness' should come first in teaching children."

This time, Chuxiu didn't refute anymore, and didn't want to waste time with Shen Yu on this matter, so he changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you this time. If you didn't invite that old Taoist priest to spread the word for me I can't do this rumor alone."

Shen Yu just smiled casually: "The matter of holding him is my business, and yours is also my business." Chuxiu was already used to his tone of speech, so he didn't care too much.After thinking for a while, he reminded him: "Young Lord, King Mu is not in Fangzhou these days. He heard that his sweetheart was kidnapped by thieves, so he privately used the Tiger Talisman to send troops to search for him. This matter will not be over for a while, Emperor Nie He must be investigated for his crimes, and you should go back to Jingzhou while this opportunity is rare."

Seeing the concern on Chuxiu's face, Shen Yu felt a little moved, and couldn't help but wryly smiled: "It's too late. Now my house is surrounded by King Mu's men and horses, and it is absolutely impossible to leave the city." He sighed quietly, He said again, "You really hit the mark, King Mu has already taken a fancy to me and wants to detain me here."

"It's nothing if it's just detained, I'm afraid..." Chu Xiuxiu frowned slightly, with an unconcealable worry, "I didn't expect King Mu to move so fast, everyone left Yanlan City, and he didn't forget to send him Someone is watching you."

Shen Yu looked at Chuxiu's face obsessively, and felt that she was so pretty even when she sighed and frowned, so she couldn't help blurting out: "Han Chu, if you worry about me, I'm worth dying for."

"What nonsense!" Chu Xiu immediately reprimanded, "What's not dead, do you want to shorten my life?" Shen Yu smiled, and then explained: "I'm just joking..." Although this topic is a bit heavy, but He is very happy at the moment.If Hanchu can worry about him every day, so what if he stays in Fangzhou forever and is under surveillance?He is always willing.

Just as Shen Yu was thinking about it, Zhu Ying suddenly came in and reported: "Madam, Qingyi from the side of the young master has come and said that there is something important to do."

Qingyi is the personal servant Shen Yu found in Yanlan City, who specializes in running errands and is also very clever.He knew Shen Yu's thoughts, so when Shen Yu came to Yun Mansion on weekdays, he never followed, for fear that he would be in the way of his master's eyes.

If it wasn't for something important, Qingyi would never have come here.Shen Yu also knew his propriety, and hurriedly said to Zhu Ying: "Let him in!"

A moment later, a young man of sixteen or seventeen with delicate features hurried into the door, and said with a worried face: "Young Lord, just now a letter from Jingzhou said that the old Lord has suddenly contracted a serious illness, and now he is... critically ill! "

Marquis Wenchang is critically ill?Both Chuxiu and Shen Yu were shocked.The latter especially felt palpitations, and suddenly got up and looked at Qingyi, and said urgently: "Speak well! Where's the letter?"

Trembling, Qingyi took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to Shen Yu respectfully, and added: "It's a letter written by Shizi."

Seeing that the letter had not been opened, Shen Yu knew that Qing Yi had heard the news from the messenger, so he couldn't wait to open the letter to read.Sure enough, it was a letter written by his elder brother Shen Zan, in a few words about his father Wen Changhou's condition.

Shen Yu hurriedly finished scanning the letter, only to feel a tug in his heart, and his hands clinging to the letter were clenched into a ball: "I am unfilial." Every word was extremely painful.

When he came out of Xiu and saw that his expression was not right, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, don't worry, let me read this letter."

Shen Yu handed the letter over, Chuxiu glanced at it, originally wanted to say something, but worried about the presence of servants, so he said to Zhuying and Qingyi: "You go down first."

The two hurriedly resigned, and only after Chuxiu comforted Shen Yu: "Young Master, don't worry, there may be something strange about this matter." "Strange? What's strange?" Shen Yu's expression froze. "Do you remember that I told you just now that King Mu privately used the tiger talisman to mobilize troops to search for people, which made Emperor Nie furious?" Shen Yu nodded, "Of course I remember, you also said that the opportunity is rare, let me look at it." This is the time to leave Fangzhou." Chuxiu said "yes" and said, "Maybe it's fake that Marquis Wenchang is sick, and it's true that he wants to use this as an excuse to let you go back. Just imagine that King Mu has angered Emperor Nie now, Marquis Wenchang must know this The matter is probably because you are afraid that you will be involved in staying in Fangzhou, or Fu Wang has already started planning to fight for the crown, so he wants you to go back."

Hearing Chuxiu's analysis, Shen Yu felt a little relieved, but still worried: "You are right, I'm afraid...my father is really sick!"

"There are two possibilities. Jingzhou is so far apart, no one dares to determine whether Wenchanghou's illness is true or not." After saying this, Chuxiu sighed softly.

Seeing Chuxiu sighing, Shen Yu blamed himself even more: "Accordingly, I am a closed disciple of the genius doctor Qu Fang, and I have learned good medical skills. I can't treat him...I'm really, really unfilial!"

"Young Lord, now is not the time to blame yourself." Chuxiu continued to comfort him, "Not to mention, Wenchang Hou is seriously ill, this is a good opportunity for you to leave Yanlan City! Father is critically ill, son should go back to fulfill his filial piety, As long as King Mu still cares about his face, he will let you go for this reason."

"Han Chu..." Hearing this, Shen Yu frowned, and looked at her with a pair of handsome eyes, "I didn't know you before, or you have really changed now... You are becoming more and more like Mrs. Tai. "

Like Mrs. Tai?Chuxiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Are you complimenting me, or hurting me?" It's this sad topic, and it's the affection she can't respond to.Chuxiu sighed in his heart, and continued to say: "The most urgent thing is to return to Jingzhou. Don't worry, I will ask Yun's secret guards to inquire about the situation in Jingzhou. At least find out first, what is the condition of Marquis Wenchang?" how."

Shen Yu nodded helplessly: "This is the only way now, I'll wait for your news."

Twenty days later, Yun's secret guard in Jingzhou sent a message, saying that Marquis Wenchang was indeed infected, but his life was not in danger. The limelight of "two kings fighting".

Chu Xiu truthfully told Shen Yu the news, and the latter was obviously relieved. "Young Lord, I will find a way to send you back to Jingzhou, give me some time to prepare." Chuxiu promised Shen Yu.

"Han Chu, you are..." Shen Yu was very surprised, and frowned habitually, "You want to drive me away?" "Do you want to die here?" Chuxiu turned away from looking at him, "You I have been stranded in Fangzhou for more than a year, even if I felt ashamed of Lord Hou, now the deceased is dead, and the repayment has already been paid off... You can go back." After these words, both of them fell silent.There was a sudden embarrassment floating in the room, causing each other to suffocate for a while.If it wasn't for the second aunt's sudden visit to break the awkward atmosphere, they don't know how long they will be speechless.

Shen Yu has never had a good impression of Erfang. Although the truth has been found out and Yun Ci's death was caused by Sanfang, he feels sick whenever he thinks of Yun Qi's dirty face.Especially after Yun Xiangrong's confession made him think of Chacha even more... So from then on, Shen Yu kept his distance from Erfang.Later when he was teaching Yun Cheng martial arts, if he saw Yun Xiangrong by chance, he would avoid it for fear of being too late; or he would say hello openly and never say a word in private.He remembered that he still owed Yun Xiangrong a favor, but to be honest, he really didn't want to have anything to do with her in his heart.

Seeing Hua Wuying walking into the inner hall, Shen Yu was disappointed for a moment, so he got up and said to Chuxiu: "I'll go back first." After saying this, he glanced at Hua Wuying, and said politely: "Second Aunt .”

On the contrary, Hua Wuying seemed very enthusiastic: "Young Master, go slowly." Shen Yu didn't say much, turned around and strode out of the room.Chuxiu watched Shen Yu's back disappear, then turned to Hua Wuying and asked, "Second aunt came here today, why?"

Hua Wuying didn't pretend to be a joke, and said straight to the point: "Ma'am, I'm here for Xiangrong's marriage. It's the end of March, Xiangrong is already sixteen, and he's already reached the age of engagement..."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, choked with sobs and said: "If it wasn't for the delay in the matter of the second master last year, she should have married...Madam, now that the second master is dead, I only have such a girl, she has never done anything I'm sorry about Master Hou and you, I want you to find a good home for her."

Hearing what Hua Wuying said, it was only when Chuxiu remembered that Yun Xiangrong was indeed 16 years old, logically at this age he should be engaged or even married.Chuxiu was a little puzzled: "Why didn't Second Aunt talk to Mrs. Tai?"

Hua Wuying didn't hide anything, and replied frankly: "I used to be a servant by Mrs. Tai's side, and I know her temperament best. Although Wen Xian died, I was wronged, but Mrs. Tai still hates me, after all... ...I did want to hurt her."
