Liu Hanyu did not come in empty-handed. Behind her was Yun Yan, and behind Yun Yan were four maids, each holding something in their hands. It seemed that they came to visit the patient!
Everyone walked in very lightly. Seeing Yun Qianmeng sitting at the table, Liu Hanyu and Yun Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the young lady!"
Yun Qianmeng's expression was calm, with only the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she smiled faintly, "We're family. Auntie and Third Sister are so polite. Please take a seat!"
It sounds like a polite remark, but it shows the advantages of a legitimate daughter in every way, that is, it brings the aunt and concubine's sister closer to herself and enhances the feelings of both sides, but it also makes the other party understand that there has been a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children since ancient times. She cannot start a dyeing factory without knowing her status just because her legitimate sister gave her some color!
When Yun Yan heard Yun Qianmeng's hint, her cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at Aunt Liu in front of her with her slightly lowered eyes, with a hint of annoyance in her eyes!
If Aunt Liu hadn't insisted that she embroider that handkerchief and give it to the old lady, this incident wouldn't have happened!
However, Yun Qianmeng didn't care much about the handkerchief. The old lady had received all kinds of precious gifts. Thinking of bribing her with a handkerchief, Aunt Liu's thoughts were too shallow!
I just wanted to remind her to remember her identity and not to think that she is valuable just because she is in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
For Concubine Liu, whose family background has no power, she can only have a peaceful life if she chooses the right master!
But this master is the one who cannot tolerate someone doing two things at once!
When Aunt Liu saw Yun Qianmeng's subtle warning, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, but then she felt lucky that she was loyal to Yun Qianmeng. Otherwise, with the young lady's methods and scheming, she would have been really scared!
Thinking of this, a frank look appeared in Aunt Liu's eyes. She bowed to Yun Qianmeng and sat down on the edge of the stool. Then she asked with concern, "I just saw that the young lady was seriously injured. I wonder what the doctor's diagnosis was?"
Yun Qianmeng calmly took in the expressions of Liu Hanyu and her daughter. Noticing that they were both calm and stable, she smiled and replied, "They're just some minor injuries. They'll heal in a few days. Auntie, don't worry!"
When Yun Yan heard her answer, her eyebrows couldn't help but frown. Although she was not at the scene when the accident happened, she became very anxious after hearing her mother talk about her elder sister's injuries!
After all, which girl doesn't love beauty? Especially since the eldest sister has a noble status and it is not impossible for her to marry into the royal family in the future, if such an outstanding woman has a scar on her body, it would probably be the biggest regret in the world!
Yun Yan's face was slightly anxious as she said seriously, "Sister, it's better to be careful! Girls' skin is delicate, so you must not be careless. If you leave any regrets, wouldn't it be heartbreaking? Besides, sister, you are so beautiful, you must not ruin this beauty!"
Seeing Yun Yan's genuine concern for her, Yun Qianmeng's smile seemed even more sincere. She nodded and said slowly, "The doctor said that if I take good care of the baby, there won't be any scars. I appreciate my aunt and sister's kindness, and I will be careful!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng had finally listened to her and Yun Yan's advice, Aunt Liu turned slightly and pointed at the maids standing in a row behind her and said, "Miss, these are all tonics. Remember to take them!"
Yun Qianmeng glanced at Mu Chun and saw Mu Chun leading a few maids out of the warm room...
The remaining four people were Yun Qianmeng, Concubine Liu, Yun Yan, and Aunt Mi. Concubine Liu had an unwavering smile on her face and eyes. Without waiting for Yun Qianmeng to ask, she hurriedly said, "The eldest lady didn't see it just now. When the master heard that the young lady was injured, his face turned black with anger. His eyes were full of disappointment and cruelty when he looked at the second young lady and Concubine Su!"
Perhaps it was because she had been bullied by Su Qing and her daughter for too long, so whenever the mother and daughter were scolded or punished, Liu Hanyu felt very relieved. The corners of her mouth that were raised could not calm down, and she wished that everyone in the world could share her joy!
Although Yun Qianmeng was also happy to see Su Qingyun Ruoxue being punished, her ability to conceal her true abilities was not comparable to Liu Hanyusuo's. She only raised one eyebrow slightly, as if she was a little surprised by Liu Hanyu's report. Her tone was full of disbelief, "Father loves Sister Ruoxue very much, and Aunt Su has been doted on by father for more than ten years. I'm sure father won't be willing to blame them!"
When Liu Hanyu heard Yun Qianmeng's question, a flash of disapproval flashed in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Yun Qianmeng would not believe what she had just said. She then continued, "You are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion! No matter how favored the second daughter is, she is still a concubine's daughter. How can a concubine's daughter be compared with a legitimate daughter? Look, when the master heard that the young lady was injured, he became anxious and immediately punished the second daughter. He asked Rui Ma, who was by the old lady's side, to accompany the second daughter to the ancestral hall for the night! The second daughter was furious when she heard this and yelled at the Prime Minister that she was framed! Aunt Su was also dissatisfied at the time. She relied on the master's past love to protect the second daughter and refused to let Rui Ma and others drag the second daughter away. She also said..."
Yun Qianmeng listened carefully to Liu Hanyu's words, her eyes slightly shimmering with light, but the deepest true meaning in the ripples was indecipherable!
Liu Hanyu was halfway through her speech when she carefully observed Yun Qianmeng's expression. Seeing that she still looked calm, neither happy nor angry, she continued, "Madam Su also said that all this was planned by someone to lead the second young lady into a trap! The master asked who was the mastermind behind this, and the second young lady shouted out the eldest young lady's name without any regard for her manners! When the old lady heard this, she was furious and pointed at the second young lady and scolded her, saying that not only had she secretly eaten meat in the ancestral hall, but she had also pushed down her eldest sister. Now she was slandering her eldest sister without distinguishing right from wrong. It must have been instigated by someone close to the second young lady! This fell into the ears of the master, and it didn't matter. Not only did it implicate the maids and servants around the second young lady. Everyone who served the second young lady received ten strokes of the cane. I guess the second young lady will be without anyone to serve her for a while! And Madam Su was also scolded by the master in public for a long time and punished to copy Buddhist scriptures for the old lady a hundred times!"
After hearing Liu Hanyu's report, Yun Qianmeng was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Yun Xuanzhi could really do such a thing. He was so cruel to Yun Ruoxue, whom she had loved since childhood. It was conceivable how cold-hearted this man was!
However, Yun Xuanzhi's unusual way of venting his anger was probably not because the old lady was on his side at the moment, but because of the upcoming birthday party!
Lady Gu is nominally Emperor Yugan's grandmother. All the ministers will be present at the birthday banquet on that day to congratulate her. Perhaps Emperor Yugan and the Empress Dowager will also be there in person!
By then, Old Lady Ruogu would discover the injuries on her body, which would spoil her mood. The only unlucky ones would be the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
This not only hindered Yun Xuanzhi's path to the title, but if outsiders knew that all this was because Yun Xuanzhi favored his concubine, Yun Ruoxue would probably be in danger of being killed!
What a series of guesses, what a good way to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron, and now give herself a sweet date to make her shut up, not only saving Yun Ruoxue's life, but also saving his own career!
It has to be said that although Yun Xuanzhi cannot tell right from wrong when it comes to family affairs, as long as his personal interests are touched upon, he will instantly turn into an out-and-out politician. His methods of manipulating power and figuring out people's hearts are beyond the reach of others!
Liu Hanyu finished her heartfelt tale of Su Qing and her daughter's fate. Seeing Yun Qianmeng's calm expression, she didn't show any sign of gloating. She then subsided slightly from her exaggerated joy, calmed herself down, and said seriously, "The old lady said that the young lady had suffered such a serious injury, so she naturally needed to rest well. She's exempted from the morning and evening greetings before the birthday banquet! She also asked me to bring you something nice!"
As he spoke, Liu Hanyu took out a small blue and white porcelain vase from his sleeve. The vase was stuffed with a wooden cork. It was so small and exquisite that people fell in love with it at first sight!
Aunt Liu gently picked up the porcelain bottle with her nail polish-coated hands, then pulled out the cork. A fresh fragrance immediately wafted out of the porcelain bottle. In a short while, the warm room was filled with this refreshing aroma. Even Yun Yan stared at the porcelain bottle in her hand curiously, and at the same time, she tried hard to breathe in, trying to absorb the fragrance into her body!
Aunt Liu smiled and explained to Yun Qianmeng, "Miss, this is a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing cream. Just apply a mung bean-sized amount to the scar every day. After half a month, your skin will be as perfect as before!"
As she spoke, Aunt Liu handed the porcelain bottle to Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng took the porcelain bottle with a faint smile, and waved her left hand towards the bottle mouth two or three times towards her nose. The fragrance that came over was stronger and purer. The fragrance of flowers was mixed with a faint herbal scent. The combination of the two aromas was so comfortable!
However, this was just the scent of the ointment. Its effects could not be discerned by the scent alone. Yun Qianmeng was still a little skeptical about this. "Is it really that magical?"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng raise this question, Liu Hanyu showed no anger at all. Instead, she smiled and explained, "Of course! The old lady truly loves you, even sending you such a precious thing! It is said that this is a sacred item from the palace bestowed upon Madam by the late Emperor when she married into the family!"
Yun Qianmeng listened to Aunt Liu recounting the good things the old lady had done for her, and she kept a faint smile on her face, but her heart was cold!
It seems that this old lady had taken a lot of things from Qu Ruoli in the past, and even this holy object bestowed by the emperor is in her hands!
Now he gave it to me as alms, I am afraid he had the same plan as Yun Xuanzhi!
However, the old lady also had the future of Yun Yiheng and his two siblings in her calculations!
It is true that like mother, like son, these two have such similar personalities!
Taking a deep breath secretly, Yun Qianmeng's face was filled with gratitude, but her face was slightly tired. She was a little weak but very excited. She said, "Grandma is so kind to Meng'er. It is really a blessing for Meng'er! Aunt Mi, help me up quickly. I want to go to the old lady's room and kowtow to her in person to express my gratitude!"
As he spoke, he supported himself on the edge of the table with both hands and stood up shakily...
Seeing this, Concubine Liu and Yun Yan were both startled by Yun Qianmeng. They carefully supported her, one on each side, and said, "Young Miss is not feeling well. Please don't run back and forth! I will kowtow to the old lady on her behalf and tell her of her gratitude!"
Yun Yan also looked at Yun Qianmeng's pale face with concern and assured her, "Sister, you are not feeling well, so just listen to Auntie! Grandmother will understand your intentions. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself so that you can enjoy Grandmother's care!"
Yun Qianmeng was persuaded, and her originally resolute expression began to show some embarrassment. She pondered over what Aunt Liu and Yun Yan had said, and finally nodded reluctantly. However, she still said with some concern, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Liu and my sister!"
The two men couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that she finally listened to them. Seeing that Yun Qianmeng was a little tired at this moment, they consciously withdrew!
As soon as the two left, the weakness on Yun Qianmeng's face disappeared. She was seen sitting quietly in front of the window, playing with the blue and white porcelain vase in her hand, but her eyes were looking at the white clouds in the distant sky. No one knew what she was thinking about, and her expression was a little ethereal!
Seeing this, Aunt Mi felt a little worried. After all, the lady's things had been taken away by this group of jackals in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the young lady was a weak woman. It really made her feel distressed that she had to survive among these jackals and tigers!
Taking the brocade cape from the soft couch and gently draping it over Yun Qianmeng's shoulders, Aunt Mi gently reminded her, "Miss, you are injured. Be careful not to catch a cold!"
Yun Qianmeng turned around, the haziness in her eyes had vanished, and a shrewd look filled her eyes. She placed the porcelain bottle in Aunt Mi's hands and instructed, "Take it to Aunt Xia and let her verify its authenticity! Then have Yingqiu check to see if the ointment inside is safe to use!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mi was shocked. She raised her eyes and met Yun Qianmeng's, but found that her eyes were solemn. She nodded cautiously and carefully put the porcelain bottle into her sleeve!
Yun Qianmeng saw that Aunt Mi understood what she meant, so she smiled lightly and said, "Aunt, take a pearl out of the rosewood box and pawn it at the Yu Family Pawnshop. They'll give you a reasonable amount of money!"
Hearing this, Aunt Mi was stunned again. She couldn't bear to see the things left by the Madam being pawned, so she tried to stop her, saying, "Miss, you absolutely can't do that! That's what the Madam left for you. Aunt Xia went through so much suffering to give it to you. You can't pawn it!"
As she said this, Aunt Mi almost knelt down!
A bare hand held her arm, preventing Aunt Mi from kneeling. Aunt Mi looked up with tears in her eyes, but saw the terrifying calmness in Yun Qianmeng's eyes. There was a chill and even a frightening determination in those bottomless eyes!
But Yun Qianmeng's unquestionable decision gradually echoed in her ears: "Mammy, things are dead, but people are alive! We need to thrive in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and winning people's hearts is the first step! Although Concubine Liu serves me wholeheartedly at this moment, I also want to give her some sweet treats; it is said that my grandmother favors me because of the Prince of Fuguo Mansion, but I also want to treat the people around her well! The more insignificant the little people are, the more likely they are to be the key to the matter! Besides, the 'Yu Family Pawnshop' is a royal pawnshop granted by the emperor. It has the royal reputation as a guarantee. We will not suffer any loss and can redeem the pearl later! This pawnshop also keeps the pawner's information confidential. Outsiders cannot know our identities. In this way, my father and grandmother will not know what we have in our hands! I think even my mother would approve if she saw me doing this!"
Aunt Mi listened to Yun Qianmeng's analysis, and her initial displeasure gradually turned into agreement. Finally, she said impatiently, "Miss, I will do it right away!"
Yun Qianmeng was amused to see her so anxious after figuring it out, but she stopped her and said, "The Yu Family Pawnshop is closed at this time. Go tomorrow! Once you get the pawn money, take out two thousand taels and exchange it for ten-tael silver. The rest can be exchanged for hundred-tael and fifty-tael silver notes!"
Aunt Mi listened carefully to Yun Qianmeng's words, wrote down the precautions carefully, and then nodded cautiously!
At dinner time, because of Yun Qianmeng's injuries, she had dinner alone in Qiluo Garden today, and the old lady over there sent someone to deliver a lot of food!
But who would have thought that Yun Xuanzhi, who seldom came to Qiluo Garden, would actually step into Yun Qianmeng's boudoir at this hour!
At this time, Yun Qianmeng was being served dinner by Aunt Mi. When she saw Yun Xuanzhi coming in, she immediately stood up to salute, but was stopped by Yun Xuanzhi!
Yun Xuanzhi examined his daughter's complexion. Her originally pink face had now turned completely pale. A hint of anger suddenly surfaced in Yun Xuanzhi's eyes, but he softly said to Yun Qianmeng, "I'm sorry for making you suffer today!"
Yun Qianmeng felt uncomfortable when she heard his concern, but she still agreed, "Don't feel wronged. I made mistakes too. Please don't blame Sister Ruoxue too much!"
Hearing Yun Qianmeng's sensible words, Yun Xuanzhi felt relieved, but he still snorted heavily and said in a deep voice, "What's your fault? It's clearly Ruoxue's fault, so don't just protect her! If your grandmother hadn't informed me today, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark by Ruoxue, and my Meng'er would have suffered!"
Yun Qianmeng saw that Yun Xuanzhi was determined to play the role of a loving father, so she suppressed her bad habits and continued to play the role of a loving daughter. "Father, what are you talking about? Ruoxue is the younger sister, and Meng'er, as the older sister, naturally has to give in to her! Besides, after Meng'er was injured today, grandma sent medicine and food, and even sent Aunt Liu to visit the patient. It really touched Meng'er beyond words! Now, father came in person despite his busy schedule, which made his daughter feel a little at a loss! The elders treat Meng'er so well. Not to mention that she doesn't feel wronged, even if she really did feel wronged, Meng'er's heart is sweet!"
Yun Xuanzhi seemed to be greatly pleased by Yun Qianmeng's compliments. The anger on his face had long since been replaced by a smile. Thinking of his mother's praise of her daughter when he came here, he couldn't help but praise her, "No wonder your grandmother loves you the most. Just now she kept praising you for being sensible and considerate. Despite your illness, you even wanted to kowtow to her in person! Now, in my father's opinion, my Meng'er has truly grown up. She is truly a lady from a noble family. I can't help but feel proud!"
Yun Qianmeng kept her face half-lowered, and maintained a faint smile of a rich girl on her respectful and humble face. However, her eyes quickly flashed with impatience because of Yun Xuanzhi's increasingly disgusting words!
However, Yun Xuanzhi was in a surprisingly good mood at this time. He actually stayed to have dinner with Yun Qianmeng. When he left, he specifically asked Aunt Mi and others to take good care of Yun Qianmeng. Only then did he leave Qiluo Garden with his daughter reluctant to leave!
Before dawn the next day, Aunt Mi left. When Yun Qianmeng got up, she had already returned to the warm room!
At this moment, Mu Chun was inserting a jade peony hairpin into Yun Qianmeng's hair, while Aunt Mi took out a pawn ticket and a bag of silver and placed them on the dressing table. She whispered, "Miss, as you instructed, this old servant has pawned a South Sea pearl for ten thousand taels! This bag contains silver notes, and this bag contains small change. This is a pawn ticket for a one-year term!"
Yun Qianmeng picked up the pawn ticket, read it carefully before handing it back to Aunt Mi. She then took out a fifty-liang note from the banknotes and held it in her hand, telling Aunt Mi to put the banknotes and the pawn ticket into the rosewood box. She then took out a royal blue purse embroidered with lotus flowers from her dressing box, put the banknotes into the purse and asked Aunt Mi to keep it with her. Then she stood up and led everyone to Baishun Hall!
The old lady had just finished washing up. When she heard the servants say that the eldest lady had arrived, she immediately asked Madam Rui to welcome Yun Qianmeng into the inner room!
"Granddaughter pays respects to Grandmother!" Yun Qianmeng was dressed rather formally today, which made the old lady's eyes light up. However, when her eyes touched her slightly pale face, she couldn't help but scold her, "I told you to have a good rest, but you just wouldn't listen!"
As he said that, he waved to Yun Qianmeng and asked her to come closer!
Yun Qianmeng's face lit up when she saw this. She walked up to the old lady obediently and quietly defended herself, "Grandmother, you gave me so many precious gifts yesterday. Although Aunt Liu and Third Sister kowtowed on my behalf, I still feel a little guilty. After thinking it over, I still want to kowtow to you myself!"
As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng took a step back slightly. Aunt Mi behind her immediately took out the cushion that had been prepared long ago and placed it in front of her. Yun Qianmeng kowtowed respectfully to the old lady. The happy old lady pointed at Aunt Rui and asked her to help Yun Qianmeng up quickly!
Then he took Yun Qianmeng's right hand again, pulled up his sleeve and carefully examined the wound, asking with concern, "Does it still hurt? Did you use the cream?"
Yun Qianmeng smiled brightly and replied, "The doctor instructed that any scar-removing ointment must be applied only after the scab has fallen off. The most important thing now is to let the wound heal! Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of myself!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes flashed with an unknown look for a moment, but she quickly replaced it with a kind smile. Without waiting for others to come and pay their respects, she seemed to be worried that Yun Qianmeng was hungry, so she ordered Nanny Rui to prepare breakfast and specially added a bowl of blood bird's nest porridge for Yun Qianmeng!
After breakfast, the old lady did not keep Yun Qianmeng and asked her to go back and rest. She then picked up the Buddhist beads and started her daily practice!
Nanny Rui took the old lady's place to escort Yun Qianmeng out. Yun Qianmeng noticed that Nanny Rui looked a little tired, and knew that she was ordered to look after Yun Ruoxue. Yun Ruoxue was spoiled, and she was afraid that this must have caused Nanny Rui a lot of trouble. So she said with concern, "Nanny is really Grandmother's right-hand man! But Nanny looks a little tired. I guess running back and forth between the ancestral hall and Baishun Hall must have exhausted Nanny!"
Nanny Rui didn't dare take credit for it, let alone complain. Although she hated Yun Ruoxue's unreasonableness, she couldn't openly discuss her master's right and wrong. She humbly said, "This is because the old lady and the prime minister think highly of me. It is also my blessing!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng did not expose her. Instead, she smiled faintly and said with a bit of genuine heartache, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam!"
Aunt Mi immediately took Aunt Rui's hands and said warmly, "Old sister, our young lady feels sorry for you when she sees you working so hard! But we can't help you at all. Please treat this purse as a toy and take it back to use as you please!"
Seeing this, Nanny Rui hesitated for a moment!
After all, one should be grateful for what one has received. This young lady did not explain the reason. If she asks me to do something dangerous in the future, wouldn’t I be losing the big picture for the small one?
Seeing her hesitation, Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly and said, "I also know that Sister Ruoxue is a bit spoiled. Madam must be worried about her! But today, Sister is in the ancestral hall, which is pitiful. We can't visit her on weekdays. Please talk to her more and let her know what's going on outside! Madam, you work so hard, but you can still get a purse!"
When Nanny Rui heard Yun Qianmeng's clear words, she couldn't help but feel relieved. It was just a matter of saying something to provoke the Second Young Lady. This little thing was easy for an old Nanny like her. A smile blossomed on her wrinkled face!
Upon seeing this, Aunt Mi immediately and enthusiastically stuffed the purse into her hand, and then helped Yun Qianmeng walk out of Baishun Hall!
But Nanny Rui did not return to the inner room immediately. She stood behind the archway, quietly opened her purse, and took out the silver bills inside. When she saw the amount on it, her heart almost boiled over!
Although she was honored to be with the old lady, the old lady was not a generous person. All she could control was her annual salary of ten taels, but the eldest lady gave her fifty taels, which was equivalent to her five years' salary, and all she was asked to do was talk. How could Madam Rui not be excited about such a good thing that fell from the sky?
I saw Madam Rui carefully put away the banknotes, then hung the purse around her waist, then walked into the inner room with her thick waist twisted...
The old lady in the room naturally knew about Yun Qianmeng giving the purse to Nanny Rui a long time ago. She originally thought that the two were plotting something shameful, but when she saw Nanny Rui generously putting the purse on her waist, the old lady's doubts were dispelled. She waved her hand and asked Nanny Rui to go to the ancestral hall to supervise Yun Ruoxue!
Since Nanny Rui has gained benefits, she naturally has to be loyal to her husband!
As soon as she arrived at the ancestral hall, she sneered at the scowling Yun Ruoxue, "Since it's not the fate of the legitimate daughter, I advise the second daughter not to act like one! Concubine Su's momentum has passed, and the entire prime minister's residence is run by the old lady. If you continue to be so arrogant, it will be difficult for you to find a good husband in the future!"
Yun Ruoxue couldn't stand being provoked. After just a short while, she couldn't stand it anymore. She was shaking with anger and pointed at Rui Ma's nose and scolded, "You cunning slave who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the old lady's support! Don't forget, my mother is pregnant with the young master of the Xiangfu. When my brother is born, my mother will become the legitimate wife. You will be in trouble! Don't you open your dog eyes and take a good look at what kind of people my two uncles are? You say you can't find a good husband. What a joke! Just because I am a respectable lady of the Xiangfu, those who want to marry me have already stepped through the door of the Xiangfu! Do you think I'm Yun Yiyi who grew up in the countryside and never knew what Kyoto looks like in my whole life!"
Nanny Rui originally just wanted to provoke Yun Ruoxue, but she didn't expect that this girl would even drag Miss Yi Yi into this!
Although she was just a servant, Yun Yiyi grew up under her watch. Her love for Yun Yiyi was probably no less than that of the old lady, and she had long regarded Yun Yiyi as her own granddaughter!
Hearing Yun Ruoxue insulting Yun Yiyi like this, Nanny Rui's eyes, which had been watching the show with great interest, suddenly darkened. A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her words became even more cruel. "Second Miss, I'm afraid you still don't know! The old lady has long said that the child in Aunt Su's belly, even if it is a grandson, cannot be included in the Yun family tree! At this moment, you still fantasize about thinking that you can turn things around by relying on that piece of meat that you don't know whether it can be born or not. It's simply a foolish dream! Let me tell you, this time, the eldest lady promised our old lady that she would bring Miss Yiyi to the birthday banquet of the old lady in Fuguo Mansion! I wonder if it will be you who will find a good son-in-law in the ancestral hall, or our Miss Yiyi?"
Yun Ruoxue didn't believe what Nanny Rui said at first, but seeing her solemn expression and cold tone, she suddenly felt that all this was true!
The little face that had been so rosy and tender from Su Qing's care turned pale in an instant. She stood up and shouted at Madam Rui, "Nonsense! I've always represented Yun Qianmeng at the banquets at the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion. Now you're confusing right and wrong. I'll report this to Father and punish you for talking nonsense! I think you've got Alzheimer's disease. You're daydreaming like this! Don't you even consider Yun Yiyi's status and position? Even if she were to crawl through a dog hole in the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion, she wouldn't be qualified!"
After saying that, Yun Ruoxue laughed loudly, her eyes full of pride and arrogance!
These words completely offended Nanny Rui. She looked at Yun Ruoxue calmly and laughed. After she finished laughing, she slowly spoke, "I'm afraid it's you, Second Miss, who's unworthy! Don't forget whose reputation has been ruined? If this gets out, I'm afraid the Prime Minister will have no choice but to make you a nun. By then, all the prosperity and wealth in this world will have nothing to do with you!"
Yun Ruoxue was a girl after all, and when had she ever been humiliated like this by a servant? Her pretty little face turned red, white, and black at times, which was incredibly spectacular!
And Nanny Rui was indeed leisurely admiring the color on her face, waiting to take action!
Yun Ruoxue had already clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves. Seeing the extreme sarcasm in Rui Ma's eyes, the hatred in her heart surged into her head. She turned around, grabbed the porcelain bowl on the table, rushed to Rui Ma in an instant, and slapped Rui Ma on the forehead!
Nanny Rui was caught off guard and was hit by Yun Ruoxue, the daughter of a wealthy family. Blood was pouring down her head and she fainted from fright!
Yun Ruoxue took advantage of her fainting to quickly run out of the ancestral hall and rushed into Fenghe Garden!
At this moment, Su Qing was cursing while copying Buddhist scriptures when he saw his daughter rushing in covered in blood. He quickly had the gate closed and pulled Yun Ruoxue over to him...
But before she could ask what happened, Yun Ruoxue shook Su Qing's body and shouted, "I want to attend the old lady's birthday banquet! Tell daddy not to let that little bitch Yun Yiyi attend. Do you hear me?"
Su Qing was dizzy from being shaken by her, and when he heard his daughter screaming like that, he immediately raised his hand and hit Yun Ruoxue in the face!
Then he pointed at Yun Ruoxue, who was covering her cheek with tears, and said angrily, "Are you crazy? Don't you know I'm pregnant? If anything happens to your brother, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Yun Ruoxue had already been provoked by Madam Rui, and now seeing that her own mother also didn't care about her, the anger in her heart surged even more. She dropped her hands in hatred, her eyes full of hatred, "If this brother gets in my way, I will get rid of him! Mother, I find that you have changed. You used to be so kind to me, but now you only have eyes for this little one in your belly! You even refused to agree to my request to attend the birthday banquet. Or, are you really like Madam Rui said, that you have fallen out of favor?"
Su Qing listened to her own daughter's cruel words, and saw Yun Ruoxue staring at her belly with vicious eyes. She felt a pain in her heart. The child she treated with all her heart and eyes treated her like an enemy. Su Qing was chilled for a moment. With trembling hands, she pointed at the door and growled, "Go away! Go away!"
Seeing the mother and daughter quarreling, Nanny Wang kindly stepped forward to stop Su Qing and said kindly, "Madam, please don't get angry. You are pregnant now, so you must not get angry!"
Having said that, she turned around and advised Yun Ruoxue, "Second Miss, please be considerate of Madam! She has already been punished by the Prime Minister for your sake! Why would you listen to the instigation of a villain like Rui Ma and damage the relationship between mother and daughter?"
But at this moment, Yun Ruoxue seemed to be possessed by a demon, and all the kind words from others turned into harsh sarcasm in her ears!
After venting her anger at Su Qing, she turned her spearhead on Nanny Wang. "Who the hell are you? How dare you teach me a lesson? If it weren't for you taking advantage of your seniority, how could my reputation be ruined by that bitch Yun Qianmeng? And you, on the other hand, act like nothing happened and are even trying to be a peacemaker. Have you ever considered your own worth? Do you know your status? You think you're nothing but a dog just because you're the concubine's wet nurse!"
After these words were spoken, Nanny Wang could no longer hold her composure. She almost had a cerebral hemorrhage and sat down on the ground, handing over her life to Yun Ruoxue!
Su Qing was so angry that she was shaking all over. She felt cold all over and her heart had already frozen. She was disappointed with this completely ignorant daughter!
But she was pregnant at the moment, and even if she was angry, she couldn't affect the baby. Su Qing closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, which temporarily calmed the anger that was constantly rising in her heart. She opened her eyes again and said to Yun Ruoxue calmly, "Go away! I'm just a concubine. This is really not a place for the Second Miss to stay!"
Yun Ruoxue almost came to her senses when she heard Su Qing's tone and saw the disappointment in Su Qing's eyes. After seeing Su Qing's pale face and Nanny Wang's flushed face, she remembered the nonsense she had just said. Regret immediately welled up in her heart. She knelt heavily in front of Su Qing with a thud, crawled to Su Qing, hugged her legs and cried, "Mother, it was my fault! It's just that Nanny Rui's words today were so harsh that I lost my mind for a while! Mother, you can't send me away. I'm sad too!"
After all, she is her own daughter. Moreover, Su Qing has been planning for Yun Ruoxue all these years. How could he really be willing to drive her away? He could only look at Nanny Wang apologetically!
When Nanny Wang saw Yun Ruoxue like this, she also understood what was going on. Although she still cared a little about the hurtful words just now, she still nodded at Su Qing!
Su Qing then helped Yun Ruoxue up and held her in his arms. He patted her daughter on the back and comforted her, "Xue'er, no matter how angry you are, you can't hurt someone who is sincere to you! If you do this, who will be sincere to you when your mother is gone?"
Yun Ruoxue was awakened by Su Qing and felt so ashamed that she could only burst into tears, crying out all the grievances she had suffered today!
Su Qing asked Nanny Wang to bring out a large basin of clean water, and he pulled Yun Ruoxue to sit on the kang, and asked her in detail about what had just happened in the ancestral hall!
Yun Ruoxue was very afraid that Su Qing would abandon her at this time, and seeing that Su Qing treated her as before, she honestly told Su Qing everything about the quarrel she had just had with Nanny Rui!
The more Su Qing listened, the more strange it seemed to her. Since the old lady had already achieved her goal of suppressing her and her daughter, why did she still order a nanny to humiliate Ruoxue who had no power to fight back!
Was this the old lady's order, or Liu Hanyu's? Or Yun Qianmeng's?
However, before the mother and daughter could finish their conversation, there was a loud knock on the door at the gate of Fenghe Garden!
A little girl guarding the gate ran into the warm room in a panic, shouting, "Madam, the old lady brought a lot of people here..."
When Yun Ruoxue heard the old lady was coming, she stood up in fear and nervously looked for a corner in the house where she could hide, wanting to hide first...
