Chapter 228 Please Return (1)

Dong Yuan had fantasized about the happy life after the death of Emperor Yuanchang time and time again.

For Emperor Yuanchang, all she had was fear of his identity.

But suddenly hearing that he passed away, I thought it would be very relaxed, but suddenly felt inexplicably dull.

When he disappeared from the world, he also took away the nightmares he once gave Dong Yuan.The frightening king in memory also became blurred.

What Dong Yuan can remember is only his pair of eyes that are as thick as splashed ink.

His eyes are deep and affectionate. If Dong Yuan didn't have the experience of his previous life, he would probably fall for him when he was young.

But ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes, he will finally turn into a pile of loess.

Dong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, the wintersweet in the courtyard still had a lingering fragrance, she felt that this year's plum blossoms were extraordinarily charming and sweet, and the corners of her lips could not help but curl up.

Even though the Empress Dowager stayed in the palace without a funeral, Emperor Yuanchang's mourning hall was also set up.

While preparing for the funeral of Emperor Yuanchang, Emperor Si was preparing for the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Because the new emperor ascended the throne, the national mourning is not like the previous three-year ban on marriage and joy, but an amnesty for the whole world.

The new emperor's biological mother, Empress Xue, became the queen mother.However, because of her natal family's lack of virtue, her grandfather Yong Ningbo was still imprisoned in Dali Temple, so the Crown Princess was only conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, not Empress Dowager.

The royal family is in a hurry, and the Sheng family has no powerful officials, so they are at ease.

Sheng Xiuyi bestowed the emperor's teacher, and still taught the new emperor to study.

On February [-]th, the new emperor officially ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Tianqing.

Celebrate all day.

Originally, only the queen mother died, and the Sheng family thought that private marriages must be banned, so Sheng Changhou had already prepared to ask someone to choose another good day for Sheng Xiumu's wedding on the first day of March.

But Emperor Yuanchang passed away, Emperor Tianqing ascended the throne, and amnesty the world, so the wedding on the first day of March does not need to be postponed.

The Sheng family started to flourish again and was busy arranging the marriage for the third master.

Dong Yuan was still recuperating because of her fetal gas a few days ago, Mrs. Sheng and her second grandmother, Ge Shi, took care of the third master's marriage in person and did not let Dong Yuan get involved.

Dong Yuan was pregnant again, which made the second grandmother see her pain: Xue Dongyuan has only been in the house for two years, and she is already pregnant with her second child.It has been 14 years since she entered the house, and she was only pregnant with sister Hui.Although the mother-in-law didn't say it, the second grandma felt sore in her heart.

It was not easy to have a good impression of Dong Yuan, but it disappeared again.

Taking advantage of Dong Yuan's illness, the marriage of the third master fell on the second wife's hands, and some cards in the family were handed over to her, the second grandmother was very rude and began to seize power.

In the past, she was too stupid, she was afraid of Marquis Sheng Chang, and she didn't dare to do anything when assisting Mrs. Sheng in housekeeping.That's why Mrs. Sheng handed over the rights in Second Mistress's hands to Xue Dongyuan so easily when Xue Dongyuan came in.

Later, Mrs. Sheng didn't even let the second grandma get involved in the family affairs, and the second grandma became a little disheartened.But Xue Dongyuan became pregnant again, which stimulated her and made her see no other hope.

This time for the third master's wedding, the second mistress made up her mind to place her capable steward in the dowry in an important position in the inner courtyard of the Sheng family.

She wants to see if Xue Dongyuan recovers from his illness and becomes the housekeeper again, if he dares to replace her again.

If Mrs. Xue turns a blind eye and closes her eyes, Second Grandma will be completely determined to make friends with her.The second mistress does not have such a rich dowry like Xue's, she needs to work hard on the Sheng family's property.Besides, she used to help Mrs. Sheng with housekeeping, but she was upright and honest, and she never did anything.

If Mrs. Xue dared to replace Second Grandma's people, Second Mistress would see through: Mrs. Xue was just pretending.

The second grandma thought, the depression brought about by Dong Yuan's pregnancy a few days ago was swept away, and with a bright smile on her face, she returned to Xiguiyuan.

The second master, Sheng Xiuhai, also came back early today, and sat downcastly on the big kang by the window in the east room, silent.

Er Ye rarely does this.Even if he is not happy, he will spend time and have fun outside, and will not return home until his mood improves.

Second Mistress couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart, she walked lightly to Second Master, called Second Master in a low voice, and asked softly, "Why did you come back so early today?"

The second master came back to his senses, oh, he didn't answer the second grandma's words, but asked her: "Is everything done today? I heard that my sister-in-law is sick, so you help my mother with housekeeping?"

Second Mistress nodded, with a bit of complacency.

The second master obviously didn't notice the little mood of the second grandma, nodded, lazily pulled the shuttle brocade pillow behind him, and leaned on the kang without speaking.

"What's the matter?" Second Mistress couldn't hold back anymore, and asked worriedly, "Why is Second Master not in a good mood today?"

The second master was silent for a moment, then said: "I want to go back to my hometown in Huizhou!"

Second Mistress was shocked, stood up quickly, and asked, "Okay, how did you say that? Did something happen in the mansion?"

She thought that the Sheng family was in trouble, and the second master wanted to get away first.

"It's okay." The second master sighed heavily, "I didn't have a good time in Kyoto. Back in Huizhou, there is still my eldest brother, at least the family reunion is lively..."

The second grandma was even more puzzled: "Second master, what happened to you today? When did the eldest brother return to Huizhou? In our hometown in Huizhou, don't we only have one cousin from the uncle's family? Willing to fall, go to make friends with big cousin?"

The other words were fine, but as soon as the words came out, Second Master's face turned purple instantly, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

He slammed the kang table and stood up: "Willing to degenerate? What am I, I can't look down on the son of a concubine! You are short-sighted, you are a no-brainer!"

Second Mistress was taken aback by Second Master's aura, and couldn't help taking a few steps back, looking at the furious Second Master in astonishment.

Where did she say something wrong that made the second master so angry?
Second Mistress covered her chest, looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, and murmured, "Second Master, what happened to you today?"

"I'll discuss it with Grandma Wugu, and I'll settle the score with you later!" Second Master saw that Second Grandma was about to cry, stood up agitatedly, turned around and was about to go out.

Discuss with Grandma Wugu?
Discuss what?
Second Mistress stared at the shaky door curtain in the direction of Erye's exit, and was stunned: she somehow said that she wanted to go to Huizhou's hometown, and she also scolded Second Mistress for no reason, which made Second Mistress very anxious for a while.She thought for a while, and called Ding Xiang, the maidservant beside her: "Go to Aunt Xu and ask, is there something that the second master is hiding from us?"

The second master has two aunts. Aunt Xu has only been in the mansion for four years, and now she has regained the favor of the second master.Back then when she entered the mansion, she had a dignified appearance and a gentle and generous disposition, which was what Second Master liked.

Second Mistress has always been on guard against Aunt Xu.

Later, the second master was beaten up by Shengchang Hou because of Miss Yuan's affairs, and he rested in the mansion, and Aunt Xu took advantage of the gap to gain power.The second master now takes Aunt Xu more seriously, some things will not be said to the second grandma, but will be nagged in front of Aunt Xu.

And the Second Mistress was not willing to lose, so the maids around Aunt Xu were all from the Second Mistress.

What happened to the second master, even though he didn't tell the second grandma directly, the second grandma knew very well.

Ding Xiang also heard the second master's yelling at the second grandma, hurriedly said yes, turned around and went out.

After a while, Ding Xiang came back, followed by Aunt Xu who was dressed up charmingly and beautifully.

The second grandma was slightly stunned. Aunt Xu had already saluted the second grandma with tears in her eyes: "I know that grandma blames me in her heart. These days, she always let the second master stay with me. If grandma hadn't sent Miss Lilac to go today, I would I don't dare to say: the second master is just using my cover to sleep outside. The second master has been friends with a singer in the yard for a long time..."

"Yard" refers to a brothel.

The second grandmother was shocked: Although the second master is absurd, he never dared to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows and not return all night.It's a good thing now, knowing that the family is busy, no one cares about him, and he lives in a brothel openly!

"Are you telling the truth?" Second Mistress glared at Aunt Xu fiercely.In order to please the second master, he actually helped the second master to hide it.

How can this be good for the second master?It was clearly to kill the second master.If Marquis Shengchang finds out, I'm afraid the second master will be beaten again!

The second master was born by his wife's common room, so Marquis Sheng Chang didn't regard him as his own son.When beating the second master, Sheng Changhou's hands were all dead hands!

Although the second mistress hated her father-in-law for being cruel, she did not dare to touch bad luck. She tried her best to persuade the second master to abide by the rules and not make her father-in-law angry.

Because of this, the second master often blamed the second grandma for being long-winded, and the second grandma knew it.But she had to.The concubines in the family are all afraid of the second master, in order to please the second master, they all follow the second master.

But there has to be someone whose honest advice is harsh!

Second Mistress is the character who speaks harshly!

Hearing Second Grandma's rhetorical question, Aunt Xu also panicked, tears streaming down her cheeks, choked up and said, "It's true! Second Master has been like this for almost half a month...Grandma, please persuade Second Master... .This is always bad."

Seeing her crying like this, Second Mistress became irritable.

This Mrs. Xu, with a beautiful face and a charming appearance, coaxed the second master into a circle.She is smart, she doesn't persuade the second master herself, but pushes this thankless matter to the second grandma.

However, the second grandma knew it was a trap, but she still wanted to jump!

She is different from a concubine.

The concubines don't care about the second master's life or death, as long as the second master loves them for a while.But the second grandmother is the married couple of the second master, and she will be well only if the second master is good.

Even if she knew that the second master was unhappy, if she should be advised, the second mistress must still advise.

Thinking about it, looking at Aunt Xu's pear blossoms with rain, Second Mistress's tone became a bit disgusted: "You go back, I know it."

Aunt Xu cried and said yes.

As soon as she left, Dongqing next to Second Mistress was speechless: "Aunt Xu's tears are worthless, come as soon as you say..."

Second Mistress was annoyed, when she heard this, she suddenly felt uneasy, so she turned her head and gave Dongqing a look.

Dongqing didn't dare to say much at once.

In the evening, I went to pay Mrs. Sheng's greetings. The second mistress prepared the account book and reported some expenses of the third master's marriage to Mrs. Sheng.

But I saw the second master sitting in the room, talking to Mrs. Sheng.

"...My son wants to go back and guard the ancestral grave for his father. It's better than living in the capital." The second master said to Mrs. Sheng.

Second Mistress was shocked, anxious and angry: before she agreed, Second Master actually came to tell Mrs. Sheng directly.She had finally developed a desire to fight for glory and show off. Second Grandma's thoughts were wasted when Second Master made such a fuss.
