The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 86

After autumn, the weather is cool, and sitting in the car does not feel tormented.Fang Xiuyi and Mama Shi sat together, gossiping about the daily life.It would be more comfortable if the road could be flatter.This carriage looks ordinary on the outside, but the body has been reinforced, and the interior has been designed to maximize comfort. It seems that it is not the one she sat in last time, it should be newly built.

The guards divided into two groups, five of them went first to chase them, and the rest followed Fang Xiuyi.According to Fang Xiuyi, the speed of their group was slightly faster than normal, and she wanted to see people as soon as possible, so as not to make wild guesses every day.In addition, Lu Liu, an old Jianghu, is by his side, and he is very familiar with the route, so as long as there is a place to rest ahead, Fang Xiuyi will continue to move forward even when it is getting dark.

These people under He Huai'an are all well-trained and orderly. It seems that Ban Xia was specially trained by He Huai'an.Lu Liu has been away all year round, so he has more experience than others, and his personality is more lively than Banxia.Fang Xiuyi has also seen some of the other guards, and they also respect Fang Xiuyi.Fang Xiuyi never puts on the airs of his wife in front of these people. In terms of survival in this environment, these people are better than her, and she just makes suggestions on certain things.

After passing the Yanzhou mansion, two of the guards who went ahead returned.

"Ma'am, we've already met someone."

"Hurry up and listen!" Fang Xiuyi was very excited.

"People are now in Xuzhou. Our other three brothers followed. They walked slowly."

"Okay, you've worked hard. Lu Liu, according to our respective schedules, where will we meet?"

"Madam, we are going faster than them, and we will almost meet each other in Yangzhou Mansion. There are three more days."

"Okay, let's go as fast as possible and catch up this morning."

"Madam, we have been in a hurry these few days, I am worried that Madam's health will not be able to take it." Ban Xia said.

"It doesn't matter, that's why I need to speed up, otherwise, once I relax, I won't want to leave." Fang Xiuyi was really overwhelmed by the bumpy carriage these past few days, but it was all based on the thoughts in his heart, if he relaxed, She may be sick. "Mother Shi, thank you for your hard work!"

"Ma'am, I'm fine." At first Fang Xiuyi thought that Mother Shi was being modest, but seeing her mental state, she was indeed much better than her.

With Fang Xiuyi's insistence, they stepped up their schedule and finally caught up with Lu Yibei and his party three nights later.Because of the inconvenient time, Fang Xiuyi and his group stayed here first, and asked the guards to report the other party's itinerary changes at any time.

Along the way, there were always people calling the front stop. Fang Xiuyi's trip was still very comfortable, even though it was so late, he could check in smoothly.The innkeeper could also see the situation, he was extremely respectful and enthusiastic, and had prepared hot water early.Fang Xiuyi originally thought that it was so late and she would fall asleep soon after washing herself, but after lying on the bed, she tossed and turned.Before, I was thinking about catching up with people first, but now that people are catching up, what will I do tomorrow.She thought about countless scenarios in her mind, imagined countless opening remarks, and preset many outcomes.

Waking up in the morning, Fang Xiuyi felt her eyes were a bit swollen, and Mama Shi helped to reduce the swelling, but the dark circles were still obvious.

"Ma'am, do you want to cover it up?" Mama Shi also saw that Fang Xiuyi was not in good spirits.

"No need, no amount of powder can cover the dark circles under my eyes. That's it."

Fang Xiuyi wore more formal and low-key clothes. After breakfast, she went to meet people.

Lu Yibei may be really rich, and this place is still some distance from Ningbo, but he still has a mansion in Yangzhou Mansion.Before leaving the inn, Fang Xiuyi asked Ban Xia to hand over a name card, and when she got to the gate, she saw that someone was already waiting there.

Fang Xiuyi got out of the carriage slowly with the support of Mama Shi.
"Madam He, you're being polite!" Lu Yibei greeted him.

"Besides the Lu staff, what a bother!" Fang Xiuyi saw Lu Yibei, about 40 years old, with a medium build, and his clear eyes gleamed with the cunning of a businessman, but she had a sense of familiarity.Could this be the so-called public face in the legend?
"Where is it? It's my honor to be here, Mrs. He!" From the looks of it, Lu Yibei is relatively low-key and doesn't show any wealth on his body. In Fang Xiuyi's opinion, the clothes on Lu Yibei's body may show his wealth the most. Yes, it looks really high-end.

"Lu Yuanwai is too polite, if you take the liberty to bother me, Haihan is welcome!"

"Lu is exactly what he wants! Mrs. He, please!"

Under Lu Yibei's humble leadership, Fang Xiuyi walked into the Lu residence.The layout of the courtyard in the south and the courtyard in the north is really different, and the natural landscape is concentrated in the courtyard.

Maybe it's because it's just a piece of Lu Yibei's real estate. The area is not very big. After walking for a long time, he arrived at the living room of Lu's mansion.This made Fang Xiuyi quite satisfied, she really didn't like the big courtyard.

"Madam He, please sit down." Lu Yibei gave Fang Xiuyi the upper seat.

"Thank you, please sit down as well." Fang Xiuyi felt that the feeling here was not bad, and there were no such big rules in the capital.

The servant girl retreated after serving tea, leaving only Fang Xiuyi, Mama Shi and Lu Yibei in the hall.

"Lu Yuanwai, let me make a long story short. This time I came here, there must have been a lot of speculation. In fact, this matter is really a bit bizarre."

"Madam He, don't worry, please tell me clearly. If there is something Lu can do, Lu will never refuse."

"Lu Yuan's words are heavy." Fang Xiuyi took out the square silk handkerchief, "I don't know who owns this square silk handkerchief, Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yibei took the Sipa and spread it in front of him. Under the projection of the light, the puppies on the Sipa seemed to be alive.Lu Yibei's expression was a little dignified. Could it be that the wife of this second-rank official has been chasing him all the way to Yangzhou Mansion because of a Sipa?

"It's such a coincidence. I don't know where Madam He got it? It belongs to a concubine of a certain Lu. I don't know where it was lost a few days ago."

Concubine?Fang Xiu sighed secretly.

"I saw this by accident in Wuliang Temple." Fang Xiuyi said after consideration, "To tell the truth, I just saw this Fang Sipa and chased it all the way."

"Madam He, please clarify."

Fang Xiu hesitated a little, she had been fantasizing about various situations all night, but until now she had not come to a conclusion.Should we look at people first, or tell Lu Yibei a story first?

Lu Yibei was also silent, he did not expect that one of his concubines would be chased by the wife of a senior official from the north to the south!

"Except for Lu Yuan, this matter has not yet been settled, but it is of great importance to me. I wonder if I could invite her to come and meet?"

"Lu has been hovering in the capital for many days, and he has a lot of admiration for Mrs. He. Although Lu believes in his wife, Yunniang is also someone close to Lu. If she is called to come here just based on his wife's words, I'm afraid... ..." Lu Yibei looked a little embarrassed.

As soon as Fang Xiu heard this, she felt a little comforted. Although she was a concubine, she hadn't come and gone as soon as she was called.

"I am very relieved to hear this from the member. Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to hide it. I have a sister who was lost when I was young, but I have never given up looking for it. At the beginning of the year, I inquired about some news in Yingtian Mansion. A few days ago, I was in Wuliang. When Sipa saw Fang Sipa, she wondered if it was my long-lost sister, so she chased her all the way." Fang Xiuyi didn't say it was He Huai'an's sister, and some things needn't be said too clearly, and smart people can understand them naturally , "I hope Lu Yuanwai can understand!"

Sure enough, Lu Yibei's expression was slightly different.He could tell that it was He Huai'an who said this.Mrs. He was able to put aside her identity and come here at a risk. It seemed that she had already inquired about more accurate information in advance.

"This is really a bizarre thing. To be honest with Mrs. He, Yunniang was indeed met by Lu in Yingtian Mansion two years ago, but she can't speak or write, and she can't remember the past. Seeing her virtuous, I stayed by my side. I didn't expect to have such a chance!" Lu Yibei's expression was also a little excited.

During the waiting process, neither Lu Yibei nor Fang Xiuyi spoke, as if they were waiting for some judgment, they were both nervous.Fang Xiuyi didn't understand why Lu Yibei was nervous. Logically speaking, if it was He Huai'an's sister, he should be happy, but she clearly saw Lu Yibei's hands trembling slightly. Was she so excited?

After what seemed like a long time, Fang Xiuyi heard slight footsteps outside, her heart began to beat wildly, and her clasped hands were clasped tightly together. If she changed the place, she would want to run to the door to have a look. .

A light purple figure floated in from the door, Fang Xiuyi stood up involuntarily, and looked at the person coming.

She is about the same size as her, but she is very thin, and she really looks like she is floating when she walks. It is very beautiful, but it is a pity that her body is slightly tilted when walking.Looking up, Fang Xiuyi's heart skipped a beat.If this is not He Huai'an's sister, she will hit the wall, although she is a woman, she is too similar to He Huai'an.

I saw this Yun Niang, whose complexion was like snow, her crescent eyebrows were slightly frowned, her eyes were like water, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed.Those eyes, exactly as Huai'an said, are exactly the same as Fei Yu's, looking at you can make people sink in.

Excited, Fang Xiu walked up to Yunniang in a few steps, her eyes were unusually warm, but it also frightened Yunniang.Yunniang naturally hid beside Lu Yibei.

"Don't be afraid, Yunniang, this Mrs. He is a friend of mine." Lu Yibei held Yunniang's hand and comforted him softly.

"That's right, that's right, I'm not a bad person." Fang Xiuyi spoke incoherently excitedly, "My name is Fang Xiuyi, you can call me Xiuyi, I'm from the capital. Is this silk handkerchief yours?"

When Yunniang saw the silk handkerchief in Fang Xiuyi's hand, her eyes lit up, and she smiled like a flower blooming. She took it with both hands, and Fang Xiuyi smiled and nodded.

Fang Xiu could tell that Yunniang lived happily in Lu Yibei's place, the look on her face could not be deceiving, and she was also very dependent on Lu Yibei.

"Yunniang, do you have any impression of the name Changsheng?" Fang Xiuyi tried to ask.

Yunniang thought for a while, Fang Xiuyi shook her head.

"Changning?" Fang Xiuyi called Sister He Huai'an's name.

Yun Niang was stunned and didn't respond, but her expression told others that she seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while of silence, Fang Xiu saw that Yunniang didn't respond, so she asked Mother Shi to bring the box. She took out the bead flower from the box, gritted her teeth, and handed it to Yunniang without saying a word.

However, Yunniang, who had been standing still, immediately focused her eyes on the bead flower.She stretched out her hand and touched the pearl flower tremblingly. Fang Xiu saw it clearly, tears flowed from Yunniang's eyes.

When everyone was shocked, Yunniang held Zhuhua in her hands, her lips opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.As soon as Fang Xiu looked at it, her heart was in her throat.

Lu Yibei also saw Yunniang's abnormal state, and he couldn't bear to comfort him.

But at this moment, Yunniang was holding Zhuhua tightly, her face was flushed, and she seemed to be making some noise,
Seeing Yunniang's pained look, Fang Xiuyi was a little excited, she was really He Huai'an's sister!

"Yunniang, calm down, come on, let's sit down first." Lu Yibei put his arms around Yunniang's shoulders, trying to make her sit down.

Yunniang didn't seem to hear Lu Yibei's words, her hands were trembling, she wanted to speak but couldn't, she looked at Fang Xiuyi, her eyes were red.

"You are Chang Ning? You are really Chang Ning!" Fang Xiuyi was also moved and choked up.

Yunniang opened her mouth and tried hard to speak, but failed, she was very anxious and a little angry, and finally let out a low sound, which was no different from a roar to Fang Xiuyi's ears.

Fang Xiu held Yunniang's hand, "Changning, do you still remember Changsheng?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this sentence, Yunniang leaned over and passed out.
