Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 100
Yun Xirong came to the courtyard of the second room, and when she entered, she saw Aunt Lin kneeling upright in front of the door of the main room. It seemed that she had been kneeling against the sun for several hours.

Yun Xirong's heart ached and she hurried over, "Why is Auntie kneeling here?"

When Aunt Lin heard the voice, her body froze immediately, and it took some time before she raised her head in disbelief and looked at Yun Xirong, "Second...Second girl?"

After looking forward to it for so many years, how many times she cried and wet the pillow in her dreams, she never thought that the second girl would come back just like that.

Seeing you again after so many years, Aunt Lin couldn't say a word, only choked up endlessly.

"Auntie."

No matter how strong Yun Xirong is, her heart will always be fleshy.

Seeing his biological mother like this now, how can he still be tense, and his eyes can't help but turn red.

"Auntie, get up quickly."

Yun Xirong bent down to help Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin was shocked, "Second Miss!"

Yun Xirong frowned, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Aunt Lin wiped her tears, "I made a mistake, and I was punished by the second wife to kneel here. It's good if you can talk to me, but don't help me up, otherwise the fire will burn on you soon .”

Yun Xirong's face turned cold, "What is the reason why Auntie was made to kneel?"

"It's just a concubine, what's the fuss about being made to kneel?"

At this time, the voice of the second wife Huang's suddenly came from inside, the arrogance on that face made Yun Xirong's eyes even colder.

But in the end, he had no choice but to bend his knees according to the etiquette, "Xi Rong has seen mother."

With a smile on the corner of Huang's mouth, she came forward to help Yun Xirong, "Oh, the second girl is still sensible, it seems that the nunnery for so many years is not for nothing, as soon as you come back, you will know the difference between the sons and daughters, the superiority and inferiority It's in order. Sending you to Yingmei Temple back then was really the right place."

Yun Xirong smiled, and said unhurriedly: "I heard that the fourth younger sister offended a big shot at the flower market a while ago, and was splashed with ink all over her body, alas... Mother, you said that the children in our house, They were both born of the same father, so how could there be such a big difference? As a concubine, I know the difference between concubine and concubines. People don’t care about it, but it’s our good fortune. If it is serious, wouldn’t it implicate our entire Dongyang Marquis Mansion? When disaster strikes, who will take the responsibility?”

The smile on Huang's face froze, and his complexion gradually darkened.

Yun Xirong ignored it directly, and continued: "Yingmei'an is a good place. My mother sent me to practice for so many years. I have learned a lot and learned a lot. I believe that place is also suitable for the fourth sister. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

The muscles at the corners of Huang's mouth trembled.

"Yun Xirong, you've eaten your ambition!"

In the oblique thrust, Yun Xueyao's angry voice came out, pointing at Yun Xirong's nose and yelling, "Who allows you to talk about this girl behind her back!"

"Don't dare." Yun Xirong met Yun Xueyao's gaze, "It's just that along the way, I heard a lot of things about the fourth sister. Did you scold everyone who talked about the fourth sister outside like this? ? Then I will be cautious in my words and deeds in the future."

The implication is that you have no ability to deal with so many people talking about you outside, you will only hide in the yard and design to frame your half-sister, that's all you have.

Yun Xueyao realized it all at once, her face was livid with anger, "You!"

Yun Xirong didn't want to continue this topic, and looked at Huang, "Dare to ask mother, what mistake did Aunt Lin make?"

Mrs. Huang sneered, "A concubine's room is at most half a master. It is right to come to the main house every day to make peace with the main wife. Aunt Lin has been in this mansion for more than ten years, and she can't even learn this rule. Yes, do you think it should be punished to kneel?"

In fact, Aunt Lin followed the rules every day to come over to give Huang's morning and evening sleep, but in the morning, Huang ordered his mother-in-law to blow some smoke into Aunt Lin's room, so that she could sleep until lunch time.

Relying on this point, Mrs. Huang directly asked Aunt Lin to come out and kneel in front of the main room.

The purpose, of course, is to give Yun Xirong a disgrace when she has just returned to the mansion, so that she can clearly realize that she is just a concubine from a humble background, and has no right to show off in front of her daughter-in-law.

"It turned out to be for this matter."

Yun Xirong understood, and then looked at Aunt Lin with a cold expression, "Why does Auntie choose to be lazy and play tricks at such a time when she knows I'm coming back today?"

Aunt Lin was startled, her eyes were red, "I..."

She also didn't know why she fell into such a deep sleep and didn't come over on time to say hello, even if she wanted to explain now, she couldn't explain anything.

Yun Xirong said expressionlessly: "Since Auntie herself forgot the rules, then no one can save you, keep kneeling!"

After finishing speaking, she smiled at Huang Shi, "Mother, can we go now?"

Huang was stunned, "Go? Where are you going?"

Yun Xirong said: "When I went to Yingmei Nunnery a few years ago, my mother specially gathered a large family together and counted out my crimes to them in front of everyone. Now that I am back Now, does mother have to gather everyone together again like she did back then, and then talk about how well her daughter has improved over the years?"

Mrs. Huang stared at her, and snorted coldly, "Yun Xirong, you are just a concubine. I sent you out because you did make mistakes. Isn't it right for you to correct and come back now? I didn't Thinking that you have such a big face and want everyone to welcome you, where did you get your confidence?"

Yun Xirong blinked, "If my mother didn't gather everyone together, who would know that I had changed my ways, and who would know that sending me to Yingmei Temple was the most correct decision my mother made? Others don't know , Maybe I will still guess what the inside story is, why my mother dared to make my crimes public, but she dared not let everyone see my improvement. Isn't this just for the second wife and my father? "

In this mansion, when it comes to eloquence that turns black and white, apart from Yun Chuwei, Huang's most admired is the one in front of her. As long as she finds a reason, she can pick out a hundred tricks for a single word. It also makes you unable to refute a word.

No wonder Yun Xueyao hated her so much and didn't want her to come back so much.

Seeing Huang's expressionless expression, Yun Xirong raised her lips, "Although I am only a concubine, I still have the dignity of a concubine. I think my mother knew better than me when she was young."

Another sentence without any dirty words, directly pointing out Huang's status as a concubine, is tantamount to directly stabbing Huang's heart with a knife.

Aren't you usually very proud and arrogant?To put it bluntly, you yourself are just a concubine. I am a concubine and my father loves me, but you haven't even been around your father. With so many descendants in the Huang family, Huang Shoufu is too late to be a concubine. How can it be possible? Remember your humble concubine?
This time, Huang's face looked as if he had eaten half of a fly and still had the other half in his mouth. He couldn't breathe out or swallow it.

Ever since she married into the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, the Huang family has relied on the Huang Mansion as a big backer to show off in front of the long house and the third house every day.

In fact, it's not that there is really someone behind Huang's backing her, but that she has been humbled since she was born, and she has a sense of extremely inferiority in her bones. Big, just want everyone to look up to her, hold her high, and her authority is inviolable.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Huang felt a sense of gap in her heart after being reprimanded by Mrs. Huang when she returned to her natal home last time.

Because all along, the background she thought she had was just her imagination. She thought that the rise and fall of the Huang Mansion was inseparable from her marriage to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, but she didn't know that the Huang Mansion never needed her.

To the Huang family, the Huang family is just an inconspicuous concubine. She was able to marry into the eyes of the old man of the Yun family, all because of luck.

However, her good luck would not bring any benefits to Huang Fu, even if it did, it would be something that Huang Fu would disdain.

After all, Huang Shoufu has high morals and high prestige, he is a clean and honest official, and never forms a party for personal gain. Even if he does nothing, some people are flattering, and some people want to benefit him.

Huang's eyelids are shallow, and his concepts are not on the same path as the Huang family's. It's no wonder that Mrs. Huang reprimanded her so angrily.

Yun Xueyao grew up so big, she rarely saw her mother so embarrassed.

Only every time they met Yun Xirong, the mother and daughter would be choked for a long time and could not speak.

"Yun Xirong, what on earth are you trying to do!" Yun Xueyao was furious, she had already said that Yun Xirong was a villain, no, the moment she came back, the atmosphere became tense, this was only the first day, after a long time, She can't go to heaven?

"I don't understand, what am I doing wrong?" Regarding Yun Xueyao's dry stare, Yun Xirong didn't take it seriously at all.

"Mother said just now that Aunt Lin didn't come to pay her respects at Chenshi and broke the rules, so she was punished to kneel all day. Let the mansion go up and down to watch, pick me up now, and then invite everyone over, say everything that needs to be said, explain everything that needs to be said, this is also the rule, and it is the etiquette of a big family, what, mother and four My sister thinks that what you set is the rules, but what the ancestors set is not the rules?"

Yun Xueyao's throat was clogged, she was obviously very angry, she was about to say something, but was stopped by Huang's raising her hand.

No matter how much I hate Yun Xirong, I still have to admit that there is nothing wrong with what she said. Originally, she was supposed to bring everyone together when she came back like this. , all the power in charge fell into Fan's hands, and Fan's has recently set up a lot of extremely strict rules. In addition, the Changfang just reluctantly cut off a Yun Jingshu. Yes, it must be yourself.

Huang's heart hates it.

It seems that Yun Xirong had inquired about the internal situation of the Hou Mansion long ago, and then came up with rules to suppress her.

Swallowing a deep breath, Mrs. Huang turned to smile, "Second girl, your aunt and your third aunt are very busy, who has so much time to come to our second room to spend with you, you will come back when you come back, at most I will be there for a while Then go to your aunt and let me know."

Yun Xirong didn't speak, but her eyes glanced at Aunt Lin intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Huang hurriedly helped Aunt Lin up herself, her tone was much softer than before.

"The eldest wife has set a lot of rules during this time, you know that the reason why I punished you so much is to let you have a long memory, so that you will not be so frizzy in front of the eldest wife, and then fall into her hands." Here, it is much more serious than being punished by me, and I have also worked hard, so that the second room will not be underestimated, I hope you can understand."

In fact, Fan's family is not as offensive as Huang's said, Huang's just wants to find a way for herself to step down.

Yun Xirong raised the corners of her lips, but didn't say a word.

Aunt Lin's mind is simple, she would not think deeply about the mystery hidden in Huang's words at all, but said in a submissive manner: "My wife's teachings have been taken down by maids and concubines, and I will definitely not do it again in the future."

When Yun Xirong returned home, she faced Huang Shi and Yun Xueyao for the first time, and Yun Xirong won by absolute advantage.

After the mother and daughter left, Yun Xueyao gritted her teeth, "It's too much of a bully! Mother, how could you just let them go like this?"

She couldn't see Yun Xirong being deflated, she was unwilling!
"The future is long, why are you impatient?" Huang frowned, "This is the first day back to the mansion, so what if we let her play a game? With the combined brains of our two mothers, can't we still beat a little concubine? You are too I underestimated your mother's means of survival in the Huangfu in those years."

Yun Xueyao's teeth were grinding, "I just can't see how she looks like that, isn't she born a few years before me? No matter how noble she is, she's just a concubine. What's so great about it?"

Hearing the word "out of concubine" again, Huang's face was very ugly, "Shut up! Don't give birth to long and short ones in the future, since that little bitch wants everyone to live in peace, then let's find a way to deal with it. Whether she is a natural child or a concubine, the future path depends on the ability of each."

At this moment, Yun Xueyao remembered that her mother was a concubine, and immediately shut up.

-

Three rooms, in the main hall.

Yun Qilan obediently served tea to Mrs. Ding.

Ding looked at her carefully, feeling a little satisfied in his heart.

Although she has become a little thinner because of the poor life, these two months have transformed her daughter, and her temperament from the inside out is quite different from before, and she is more calm and restrained.

Ding couldn't help but rejoice, "Sister Lan, you have restrained a lot and grown a lot in the past two months, mother is very happy."

Yun Qilan walked behind Ding Shi, squeezed her shoulders and thumped her back, "All this is thanks to my mother who sent me to Yingmei Nunnery, and thanks to my second sister's earnest teaching, otherwise how could my daughter have such a great awareness?"

Ding smiled reassuringly, "You have to realize it yourself, otherwise, no matter how much others talk about and how well they teach, it will be in vain."

Yun Qilan smiled shyly, "Mother, I will be obedient and obedient from now on, and I will never make you angry again."

Suddenly thought of something, Yun Qilan lowered her voice, "Mother, why was Third Sister expelled from the genealogy? She is such a well-behaved person, can she make mistakes?"

When this matter was mentioned, Ding's face became quite serious, "Yun Jingshu is a big deal this time, she went to Longquan Temple and killed Fifth Young Master Su."

Yun Qilan's face turned pale, "What? Dead... You said Fifth Young Master Su is dead?"

"Yes." Ding nodded, "We outsiders don't know what the inside story is about this matter. We only know that the Su family is very angry and insists on an explanation from our side. The matter has already happened, and the eldest wife still wants to explain it. What can I do? I can only cut my flesh with the pain, and ruthlessly expelled Yun Jingshu from the genealogy and sent it to the Su family to be dealt with by them."

Yun Qilan frowned, "Then, does the old lady know?"

Ding nodded, "As early as when Yun Jingshu was expelled from the genealogy, people in the mansion reported the letter back to her ancestral home. Yun Jingshu is the old lady's weight in the royal family, so she was defeated by the Su family. She was also heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do. Who made Yun Jingshu commit a heinous mistake? If she didn't deal with it in this way, the Su family would definitely not let her go. By then, the conflict between the two families would become even bigger. Taking this into consideration, I had to abandon Yun Jingshu for the benefit of the family."

Yun Qilan didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment when she heard that such a misfortune had happened to that pearl-like woman who had always been sought after by the son of a noble family in Beijing.

Sympathy?
After all, she committed the crime of killing people and stealing goods, even if the Su family spared her, in terms of the law, she still cannot escape the death penalty.

Not sympathetic?
Yun Qilan seemed to see through Yun Jingshu what would happen to her if she took the wrong path, and she immediately felt her hairs stand on end.

"So, sister Lan, no matter how much resentment you have against anyone, you can't go to extremes." Ding urged earnestly, "As long as you have a brain, you will have ways to deal with those people. You don't have to kill people to vent your anger. We can't compare They, if you have to compare with them, the only one who suffers in the end will be yourself."

"Mm, I've made a note of it." Yun Qilan nodded obediently.

-

Yun Xirong helped Aunt Lin, whose knees were numb, back to the yard.

I personally found the ointment and put it on Aunt Lin, and rubbed it for her. The pressure was moderate, not too heavy, and Aunt Lin felt very comfortable.

"Second girl, it's all my aunt's incompetence that made you suffer in the nunnery all these years."

Aunt Lin knew that Yun Xirong was framed and kicked out of the mansion, but her status was too low to explain it to the second master.

In other words, everything Huang and Yun Xueyao did was acquiesced by the second master.

Because the second room is special, before marrying the serious wife, the maid of the common room was pregnant, resulting in both the eldest daughter and the second daughter being concubines.

This matter made the second master unable to raise his head among his colleagues for many years, and because of this, he gradually became indifferent to her, and he was blind to his two daughters. Xirui married and went to a place as far away as Dengzhou, and set up a scheme to frame the second girl, Yun Xirong, and took her to Yingmei Nunnery.

It's not that Aunt Lin never knelt down or begged for mercy, but no one paid any attention to her.

After all, the Second Wife came from the Shoufu Mansion. Even if she is a concubine, she is more honorable than an unknown concubine like her. How do you think about this? All the masters of Dongyang Hou Mansion will only favor the Second Wife and the reputation of the Hou Mansion .

Sacrificing a concubine in exchange for the peace of the whole family, I believe that no headed mistress would refuse this temptation, let alone a person like Mrs. Yun who pays attention to face.

"It's all in the past." Yun Xirong knew what Aunt Lin was thinking, she shook her head as if she didn't care, "Now that I'm back, I will never let Auntie suffer under her hands again."

Aunt Lin was taken aback, "Second girl, don't say that, how can I deserve you to fight with the second wife for me? Listen to Auntie, since we are back, let's live in peace and contentment. Let's not participate in those fights and fights, okay?"

Yun Xirong took a deep look at Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin felt guilty when she saw her, "Second girl, what's wrong?"

Yun Xirong was silent for a while, "Auntie's thoughts are too simple, you only think that you don't provoke others, and you can get a piece of peace in exchange for yourself, how do you know if others will let you go?"

Aunt Lin was dumbfounded.

"Because my eldest sister and I were born before our legitimate children, we have become a thorn in the side of some people. As long as my eldest sister and I don't die for a day, those people will never be reconciled. So, what's the use of running away? It will only make it worse Rather than being pinched and rounded like this, it is better for us to live with a bit of backbone, for the time being, if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, if people offend me, I will pay back ten times!"

Aunt Lin opened her mouth, "Second Miss, you..."

"Auntie has been a concubine all her life, isn't she bullied enough?" Yun Xirong's eyes were a little cold, "Don't you want to live a peaceful life for a few days?"

Of course Aunt Lin thought about it, but what's the use of just thinking about it? Can thinking about it make it happen?Just thinking about it, can the second wife stop making troubles from now on and just let their mother and daughter go?

This is simply nonsense.

-

Although he was only a concubine, Fan still held a banquet for Yun Xirong's return.

All the masters of the three-bedroom inner courtyard were present.

This was a rare banquet in the Yun family without Mrs. Yun present.

Unlike the old lady who had too many scruples and looked down upon others, Fan graciously let Xu Han also participate.

Xu Han was sitting next to Yun Xirong. Although she didn't know her very well, she didn't know her very well. It didn't take long for the two of them to chat.

Yun Xirong asked: "I heard that Miss Xu's elder brother came to Beijing to take the exam?"

Xu Han nodded, "Well, the test will be next year, so I will be living in Dongyang Hou Mansion for the time being."

Yun Xirong said "Oh", "I just said why I haven't seen you before."

Xu Han said: "Our brothers and sisters came here not long ago. At that time, the second girl was not at the house either!"

"Yes!" Yun Xirong suddenly sighed, "In the past few years since I left, the Hou Mansion has really changed a lot."

Yun Jingshu's twin sister, Yun Chuwei, was added to the long room, and the old lady was willing to let her daughter-in-law go back to her ancestral home. The most surprising thing was Yun Jingshu.

This girl who has always been well-known in the capital for being knowledgeable, sensible, gentle and quiet, unexpectedly killed her fiancé Su Wushao in a flash of brain fever, and put her whole life in it.

Without the old lady, the meal was extremely quiet.

Halfway through the banquet, Fan stopped his chopsticks, looked at the people in the second room, and finally set his eyes on Huang.

"The second girl is seventeen this year, and has reached the age of marriage. I wonder what the second sibling thinks about her marriage?"

Mrs. Huang had already made up her mind which family she would marry Yun Xirong to, and in this case, she did her part, "Sister-in-law is busy every day, and has so many things to worry about. Sister Rong's marriage is definitely not an option." Don't bother you anymore, and besides, as Sister Rong's aunt, if I can't even decide on her marriage, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders?"

The words were tactful, but with a strong and arrogant attitude, he explained that no one else could interfere in Yun Xirong's marriage except her, the decent wife of the second wife, otherwise it would be meddling.

How could the Fan family not be able to hear it, and said with a smile: "Since the second younger brother and sister have already made up their minds, then I will not get involved. When the second girl will get things done, you can just let me know. There are regulations on the dowry, so I will set it aside when the time comes."

Huang showed a meaningful smile, "That's natural."

Mistresses of aristocratic families like to marry their concubines' daughters to seek benefits for themselves or their husbands, but for the Huang family, Yun Xirong's miserable life is the most important thing. As for seeking benefits for the second master?

When Sister Yao marries a good husband in the future, if the second master can follow suit, then there will be nothing wrong with Yun Xirong. Yun Xirong's main responsibility is to make her feel ashamed if she doesn't marry well.

Yun Xirong didn't need to think about it to know what Huang's plan was, she picked up the soup cup and took a sip with a calm expression on her face.

Yun Qilan was a little uneasy, she looked at Yun Xirong, and saw that the other side was expressionless, she shook her head, yes, a few years ago, her concubine cousin let the second wife and Yun Xueyao get away with it because she was too good at playing tricks. Sleeping and eating were difficult, and the mother and daughter teamed up to send her to Yingmei Temple. After several years of experience, she should be even stronger. Facing Huang's tricks, she had already had the means to deal with it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to behave so calmly, but I was just worrying blindly.

Yun Xirong was really not impressed by Huang's arrangement like this.

In her opinion, even if it doesn't work out today, Huang will try to keep her marriage in her hands another day.

Yun Xirong has always known that she is just a concubine, and the fight with Huang and Yun Xueyao is not due to her lack of duty, but because Huang has always regarded her and her eldest sister Yun Xirui as being born before Yun Xueyao. Shame is a thorn in my heart, and I wish to get rid of it every day, so she came to the backyard every day to make trouble, and she was forced to fight back.

In fact, think about it from another angle, what if she is a concubine, what if she was born before Yun Xueyao?
Is this something she can choose?
If she really wanted to blame her, she should also blame her lustful father.

But Mrs. Huang never thought so. It can be seen that many women are very irrational in dealing with this kind of matter, and they will only blindly push the responsibility on women. As everyone knows, the culprit is the man.

After the banquet was over, Yun Qilan asked Yun Xirong, "Second Wife has always been dissatisfied with Second Sister, and this time she is planning to take advantage of your marriage. Have you ever thought about fighting back?"

"Counterattack?" Yun Xirong sneered at herself, "A humble concubine going out to confront the wife of the house?"

Yun Qilan choked.

"As a concubine, it is my duty to obey my aunt's arrangement." Yun Xirong said: "If my aunt has evil intentions and does something that is not good for me, I will come up with countermeasures to deal with it, this is the way of survival.

From the day the fifth sister landed, she was doomed to be a descendant who was superior to me. No matter how ugly a daughter is, no matter how bad her character is, she will never be able to marry a husband who can accomplish nothing in the end. The main wife.

But concubines are different. Concubines can be sent to be concubines, and concubines are goods that can be traded and bought at will. In the end, it is not known who will fall into their hands, and they will even be killed for the benefit of those men. It is also very possible.

This is the difference between a descendant and a concubine.So, Fifth Sister, don't ever mention to me whether to fight back or not. Maybe you are too flattering. I'm not as capable as you imagined. I'm just a daughter of a humble family Concubine in the boudoir, I only have a pair of hands that are powerless, and I can't do anything. "

Yun Qilan choked again and again, looking at the indifferent and distant cousin in front of her, she couldn't even say a word.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

Yun Xirong turned around and walked towards her yard without looking back.

During the two months in the nunnery, she could see that Yun Qilan really wanted to get along with her, but she had long since distrusted anyone in the inner house of the Dongyang Hou Mansion. She always felt that no matter how deep the relationship was, as long as it touched Benefits will eventually turn into dust. What kind of sisterly love, what kind of true love in adversity, are all appearances, and it is almost the same to coax a three-year-old child.

What I said to Yun Qilan just now, of course, was not all sincere, it was just to draw a clear line with Yun Qilan earlier.

Although she is a concubine, although her status is humble, she also wants to fight for her future. She doesn't ask for a good marriage, at least a satisfactory marriage, otherwise, if she is really caught by the Huang family, she will really be in trouble in her life. It's all over.

-

The weather in the rainy season changes as soon as it is said.

The sun was shining brightly a quarter of an hour ago, but in the blink of an eye it was overcast, and the downpour of rain was only a moment away.

Yun Chuwei wandered outside with Meizi in the street, and forgot to bring an umbrella when going out. She never expected to encounter such a strange weather.

The master and servant stopped in front of Cai's shop, intending to wait for the rain to stop before going back.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage passed by.

The people in the carriage raised the curtain, and happened to see Yun Chuwei's master and servant who was sheltering from the rain on the opposite side. He frowned slightly, took out the umbrella and handed it to the coachman, "Give this umbrella to the lady on the opposite side."

The driver in coir raincoat didn't dare to delay, and quickly sent the umbrella to Yun Chuwei, "Ma'am, this is what our young master asked me to give you."

Yun Chuwei glanced across in amazement. Although it was raining heavily, he could barely see the carriage clearly.

Yun Chuwei recognized that it was Lu Xiuyuan's carriage.

She felt a little sorry, and shook her head, "Thank you, Young Master Lu, for your kindness. It's good for our master and servant to take shelter here for a while, and go back when the rain stops. It's okay."

The coachman insisted, "Madam, just take it. At worst, you can just return it some other day. It's raining so heavily, without an umbrella to back it up, it's easy to wet your clothes."

Yun Chu pursed her lips slightly, reached out to take it, and asked Meizi to wait under the eaves. She opened the umbrella and followed the driver to the carriage.

Standing still outside the car window, Yun Chu said politely: "Thank you, Young Master Lu."

Lu Xiuyuan opened the curtain, a slight smile overflowed from his lips, his narrow eyes were like clear glass, clear and bright.

"You're welcome."

"It's raining so heavily, does Young Master Lu still have something to go out?" Yun Chu was slightly puzzled.

"Today, I gathered all the storekeepers of the firm together, and I intend to let them have a deeper understanding of the new products that just came out. Looking at the time, people should have arrived. For merchants, honesty comes first. Even if I am the owner, there is no exception, so Don't say it's raining, even if it's bricks, I have to go."

When Yun Chuwei heard that it was about a new product that just came out, his eyes flickered, "That batch of hair oil?"

"Ah."

He nodded, and said again: "I originally wanted to invite Madam to go with me, because you are the one who provided the formula, and having you on stage will let the shopkeepers understand the difference between this batch of goods and the previous ones, but look The weather doesn't seem to allow it, so I'll go by myself!"

"Don't!" Yun Chuwei immediately said: "Since it's for the new hair oil, how can I, the little boss who provides the formula, be absent? No one knows the special effects and benefits of tea oil better than me. Young Master Lu thinks too much, isn't it just a rainy day? You don't want me to go in the rain, what's the big deal?"

Lu Xiuyuan looked around and said apologetically, "This place is too far away from the horse-drawn carriage. Even if you want to rent it, it may take some effort. If Madam doesn't mind, please get in my carriage and go together later."

Yun Chu responded slightly, "Okay."

He turned his head and walked to the opposite side of the street to explain to Meizi, and returned to the carriage again, this time without any hesitation, he put away the umbrella and sat on it.

Lu Xiuyuan's legs and feet are not convenient, so the chairs he sat on were all specially made, and they were just right.

Yun Chuwei sat opposite him.

The carriage moved slowly, seeing that there was still a long way to go to the restaurant, the two had some discussions on new products.

Not long after, a voice suddenly appeared amidst the patter of the downpour.

It's the sound of horseshoes, messy and urgent. You don't need to pick the curtain to look at it. Just by hearing the sound, it's easy to imagine that there are a lot of people outside, like a long team of soldiers, rushing to do something.

The sound of horseshoes crushing the accumulated water on the ground made people feel restless.

Yun Chuwei finally couldn't help poking his head out.

The leader was dressed in a military uniform, and the red cloak on his shoulders was completely wet by the rain, and it was tightly attached to his back. Luo Shuxuan, the second son of Luo who led the army.

Luo Shuxuan is back?

Yun Chuwei's heart beat violently, and his expression changed.

He hurriedly scanned the army, but he didn't see Master Jiu.

She scanned it again, but still didn't see Master Jiu.

"Luo Shuxuan—" Yun Chuwei put his hands around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted loudly.

However, the rain was so loud that Luo Shuxuan couldn't hear anyone calling him at all, he only knew that he had to return to the palace as soon as possible.

The water-stained whip in his hand slapped the horse's back fiercely, and the horse ran faster. It didn't take long for the soldiers to leave Lu Xiuyuan's carriage far behind.

A bad premonition suddenly surged in Yun Chuwei's heart, and she immediately shouted to the driver outside: "Stop, stop!"

The coachman didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road and stopped.

Yun Chuwei was apologetic, and looked at Lu Xiuyuan, "I'm sorry, I might not be able to go today, because for me, there are more important things than new products. If Young Master Lu doesn't mind, I'll find a chance to give it to the shopkeepers another day. It is also possible to supplement the knowledge in this area.”

Knowing her for so long, it was the first time that Lu Xiuyuan saw her anxious like this. He curled up his hands on the armrest, "Is it because of Su Jiuye?"

Yun Chuwei nodded without thinking, "Yes."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't speak anymore.

"I just saw Second Young Master Luo come back. I thought Master Jiu had come back too. But after watching for a long time, there was no one at all. I saw Second Young Master Luo was so anxious. I was worried that something happened in the southwest, anyway. , I have to meet Mr. Luo Er in person today and ask the matter clearly before I can feel at ease, otherwise I will die in a hurry."

Lu Xiuyuan told the coachman, "Since madam is in a hurry, then turn around and go to Duke Xuan's mansion first."

Yun Chu was slightly stunned, "Master Lu, isn't this a waste of your time?"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled, "You are right, there are always some things in this world that are more important than anything else, you have it, and I have it too."

Yun Chu was slightly dumb.

What does he... mean?
Before he had time to think about it, his mind was quickly occupied by the scene he had just seen.

It's been two months since Master Jiu went out to fight. Could it be that Master Jiu was seriously injured and almost died as He Lianjin said?
no, do not want!

Yun Chuwei shouted from the bottom of his heart, she sent the letter before, Lord Jiu must have seen it, nothing happened to him, and he will definitely come back safely.

Because of nervousness, Yun Chuwei naturally tightened his sleeves, pursed his thin lips, and his brows and eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

She didn't know what she would do if something happened to Master Jiu.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at her in a daze.

From the first time when she boldly proposed to cooperate with him in Biyu Makeup, he felt that this woman was different. Although he didn't see her real face that day, the charm of her body could not be ignored.

He sat upstairs and watched her walk down the street. She was slim and elegant, and it became a unique scenery in his eyes from then on.

He didn't know when he would feel sad because of her tension and her sadness.

Because I always feel that such a perfect woman deserves the best and most gentle treatment, so I never see her sad, even if it is just a little bit.

"Mrs. Qingluan, Duke Xuanguo's mansion has arrived."

After an unknown amount of time, the coachman's voice came from outside.

Yun Chuwei immediately stood up, picked up his umbrella, and said goodbye to Lu Xiuyuan, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lu Xiuyuan smiled slightly, "I hope I didn't delay your business."

Yun Chu smiled slightly, "It's hard to rent a carriage in such a heavy rainy day. It is already a great favor for Master Lu to put aside the matter of the business and send me back, and it has indeed helped me a lot, so this 'thank you' ', you can bear it."

Lu Xiuyuan also said just now that a businessman puts integrity first, so many shopkeepers are still waiting for him in the restaurant, but he put down the most important integrity and sent her back, which shows how big this favor is, and Yun Chuwei felt a little sorry.

"Then I will take my leave."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded to her.

Yun Chuwei got off the carriage, opened the umbrella, and waved, "Master Lu, go slowly."

He turned around and entered the Duke Xuan's mansion.

Go to He Lianjin immediately.

"Second Master Luo is back, do you know about this?"

He Lianjin lazily opened his eyelids, "What are you doing in the southwest if you don't come back after winning the battle?"

Yun Chuwei's heart skipped a beat, "Then, what about Master Jiu? You have so many eyeliners in the capital, you must know that Master Jiu is not back."

"He—" He Lianjin dragged out the end of his voice, "Maybe I really hit the spot."
