Chapter 63

Chu Yan sat at the top of the hall, and the few people who followed were sitting next to her.

According to Zhao Qingyun, Zhao Wu is discussing important matters with several ministers in the study, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get away for the time being.

Holding the tea served by the maid, Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Now that my grandfather's status in the court is getting higher and higher, naturally he is full of business affairs and he is too busy."

She glanced lightly at Wei Shi and Yu Shi, with a smile on her lips, "That's right, if grandpa didn't have more and more things to do, he wouldn't be so busy that he wouldn't have time to take care of such small things as the furnishing and decoration of the house. Trouble Er Niang San It's really hard for my mother to think so hard about these sesame matters, and almost caused internal strife."

Zhao Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the two suspiciously, "What's going on?"

The young and favored Mrs. Yu rushed to speak, "Master, it's all my fault. I saw a few pots of henna on the porch outside, and thought the flowers were too gaudy. Putting them there was a bit petty. After reading it, I thought our Zhao family couldn’t even afford a decent pot of flowers, so we asked someone to move it away. Unexpectedly, it was my sister’s flower, and my sister was inevitably angry with me when she saw that I made decisions without permission, so I said it Let me say a few words. In the end, I did not do well. I didn’t tell my sister in advance. Please punish me.”

The words are very beautiful, but she is wholeheartedly thinking about the Zhao family, and the Wei family wants to use the air of status to suppress others.

Zhao Qingyun had always loved this understanding Xieyu flower, so now his whole heart is naturally inclined to her.

Yu Shi was originally the daughter of a small family. By chance, she bumped into Zhao Qingyun in a restaurant and spilled wine all over him.

Just as Zhao Qingyun was about to get angry, he saw the person who bumped into him raised his head in panic, his palm-sized face was full of panic, and his bright eyes also looked pitiful.

Yu's eyes were red, and while taking out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, he stammered an apology, his brows and eyes were full of loveliness.

Zhao Qingyun was originally a romantic and affectionate person, and he had a natural habit of treating women with pity and tenderness.

Not only did he not blame Yu Shi, but he also comforted him, and finally sent him back home himself.

In the next few days, Yu Shi's soft words and cute and pitiful appearance kept lingering in his heart, he went to that restaurant for several days in a row, and on the fourth day, he actually met Yu Shi.

It turned out that after Yu Shi learned that he was the eldest son of Ding Guogong, he had a plan.

Early on, she heard that Zhao Qingyun was famous outside, and she couldn't resist treating women, and getting along with her that day deepened her determination, so she wanted to take a gamble, see if she could fly on a branch and become a phoenix.

Yu Shi is the daughter of a small family. She did not live a wealthy life since she was a child, but she has a beautiful face.

Now that she has the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, she will naturally not give up. Although Zhao Qingyun is a whole year older than her, this does not pose any problem to her at all.

After entering the door, she overwhelmed the previously favored Wei family in one fell swoop and became Zhao Qingyun's darling.

In the past, the Wei family relied on her youth and beauty to suppress Chu Yan's mother, Lu Xinyue, but now being suppressed by a younger woman in the same way, she is angry and powerless.

In several confrontations, Zhao Qingyun was openly resolving the conflicts, and secretly favored Yu Shi.

Wei's teeth itch with hatred, but there is nothing he can do.

It was like this again today, seeing Yu Shi's clever words, Zhao Qingyun once again turned his eyes to her in displeasure.

Wei Shi knew that if he continued to fight with Yu Shi, he would be fighting against him, and he would be the one who would suffer, but he couldn't swallow this breath, and insisted on arguing a few words.

"Joke, you don't know that flower is mine? Who in this house doesn't know that I bought that flower a few days ago? You don't know, are you deaf or out of your mind?"

This was really straightforward, Yu Shi seized the opportunity, his eyes turned red, and he called out in a low voice, "Sister..."

How can Zhao Qingyun endure being bullied by others?

Immediately slapped the table, "Presumptuous! The day Luo Ying came in, I told you sisters to live in harmony. Now she just moved your flower without knowing it. How can you treat her like this? Do you look like a big sister? I think you are jealous that she is more favored than you, so you try to humiliate her!"

Wei Shi never dreamed that Zhao Qingyun would say such a thing!
In the past, when she first entered the door, Lu Xinyue, the main wife, gave her the same face, but at that time, as long as she showed a wronged look, Zhao Qingyun would not hesitate to stand by her side, just like standing by Yu's today. Same side.

But today, the scene is surprisingly similar, but her status has completely changed.

She turned pale and could hardly speak.

Zhao Yufeng and Zhao Pingyang were a little embarrassed, they lowered their heads and didn't speak. The eldest brother always does things like this, regardless of the occasion...

Chu Yan was originally watching a play, but now that Zhao Qingyun got angry and even patted the table, she winked at Hanzhi beside her.

Hanzhi immediately understood, cleared his throat, and interrupted the farce in a leisurely manner, "Master, Her Highness the Crown Princess is still here, she came here specially to visit relatives today, if the two aunts have anything to do, please wait for Your Highness After you leave, it's never too late to close the door, so why get angry in front of His Highness?"

This was a tactful statement, but it was a disguised reminder to Zhao Qingyun that the Crown Princess was here, and he could not allow him to challenge the table.

Only then did Zhao Qingyun turn around to look at Chu Yan, but Chu Yan didn't look at him, she just lowered her head and concentrated on looking at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, her face was blurred by the dense mist, and she looked somewhat unclear.

He suddenly froze for a moment, feeling that this daughter had become very strange.

But the fact is that Chu Yan has never been familiar with him.

The hall was a little stuffy for a while, so Chu Yan put down her teacup, stood up, and said unhurriedly, "I'm going to see my mother."

Zhao Qingyun's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Chu Yan, "Your grandfather should come out too, why don't you just wait here!"

Chu Yan paused, looked down suspiciously at him holding her hand, then slowly raised her head to look at him, and shouted, "Father?"

Zhao Qingyun realized that he had lost his composure. Now that Chu Yangui is the princess, how could he hold her so easily?
He let go of his hand like an electric shock, and said coyly, "...Wei Chen was in a hurry and lost his composure."

Chu Yan carefully looked at his expression, and seemed to see the clue from his dodging eyes, so she took another step towards her mother's yard.

"It's okay. I'll go to say hello in person after my grandfather's discussion is over. I'd better go see my mother during this time."

Zhao Qingyun wanted to stop him, but Chu Yan had already stepped out of the gate and left without looking back.

Zhao Yufeng and Zhao Pingyang looked at each other in blank dismay, and the two aunts who were still arguing before stopped talking.

But Chu Yan's pace was getting faster and faster, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

She walked quickly along the long corridor and through several small paths, and came to Lu Xinyue's courtyard - Zhao Qingyun had hardly been to her place since Erniang and Sanniang entered the door, the courtyard was so quiet that it seemed deserted long-standing place.

She walked a few steps quickly, and when she reached the path in the middle of the courtyard, she suddenly saw Lu Xinyue's personal maid, Yun Xi, pushing the door out with a basin in her hand.

Seeing Chu Yan, Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes turned red, and she knelt down heavily with a basin in her hand.

"Miss, you are back! Please save Madam!"

These words shocked Chu Yan in place, and she didn't even intend to correct her address, she just said hastily, "What's going on?"

Yunxi burst into tears, "Madam is very ill, but the doctor said that the medicine stone is useless..."

Chu Yan was so shocked that she didn't have time to talk to Yunxi at the moment, so she directly disturbed her and went to the house, pushing the door open and entering.

There was a bitter smell of medicine in the room, the light was dim, and the air was filled with a damp and rotten smell.

Chu Yan walked a few steps closer, and saw a skinny woman lying on the bed. She was only in her thirties, but her face was as haggard as a woman in her fifties.

Lu Xinyue was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion, her chest rose and fell very slightly, her face was so thin that her cheekbones were protruding, her lips were bloodless, she looked terrifying.

Chu Yan walked to the bed and called out in a daze, "Mother..."

Lu Xinyue didn't fall asleep at first, but when she heard this voice, she opened her eyes suddenly, a pair of dull pupils suddenly lit up, and stretched out her hand with difficulty to touch Chu Yan.

"What's wrong with mother? Why is she like this?" Chu Yan panicked, and quickly sat down and held Lu Xinyue's hand, letting her touch her.

Chu Yan was weakly held by her bony hand, and she was startled and shocked.

What is going on, that my mother is so sick, and Yunxi is the only one in the house to take care of her?
Lu Xinyue opened her mouth, trying to say something with difficulty, but before she could say anything, tears poured out.

She gasped for breath, but couldn't say a word.

Chu Yan's fear faded away, and then she was furious.

She turned her head and shouted at Yunxi outside the door, "Come in! Tell me what's going on!"
