Xu Jinghuai was stunned.
"What did you say?"
Yan Yunshu said loudly, "I like you! No matter what messes happen, it can't stop me from telling you this fact right away!"
Happiness came too suddenly, and Xu Jinghuai's mind went blank.
He was shaking with excitement.
"Really? Really?"
Xu Jinghuai's voice was hoarse and broke.
"real!"
Seeing Yan Yunshu's serious expression, Xu Jinghuai hugged Yan Yunshu into his arms. His face was pressed tightly against her neck, and he greedily sniffed the fragrance of her hair. He could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
"Is it true? Really?"
Xu Jinghuai's eyes turned red and tears flowed down his face.
"Really! I'm sure I like you!"
Xu Jinghuai hugged Yan Yunshu even tighter.
Yan Yunshu also reached out and hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that before!"
…
Yan Yunshu had never experienced what it felt like to be in love.
But when she returned to the mansion at night, she saw that the cold stone bench had become warm and the frozen dead branches had come alive.
She understood.
She returned to her room and carefully stroked the glowing spirit bead and handkerchief that Xu Jinghuai had given her.
Her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness, and even others couldn't help but laugh along when they looked at her a few more times.
"Today's girl is particularly beautiful!"
"Yes, the girl's smile is especially sweet today!"
Snowflakes were falling, and the entire mansion was covered in silver. A maid was walking hurriedly in the yard.
She came to Yan Yunshu's yard and put a bowl of bird's nest on the table.
"Miss, the lady told you to drink it before bed."
Yan Yunshu put away the ghostly spirit bead and handkerchief and came to the table.
"Thank you, aunt, for me."
My aunt's personal maid agreed and went out into the snowy night again.
Yan Yunshu looked at the bird's nest. Xiu Lian beside her came forward, picked out a piece of the bird's nest and tasted it.
"Girl, you can eat."
Only then did Yan Yunshu feel at ease and began to eat the bird's nest spoonful by spoonful.
It's not that she doesn't trust her aunt, but now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has fallen into decline and Xu Jingye has no freedom, the more the balance of the struggle for the throne tilts towards Xu Jinghuai, the more dangerous her situation becomes. Everyone may be a member of the eldest prince's party, and everyone may take the risk to murder Xu Jinghuai and herself.
It's impossible for my aunt, but it's possible for everyone around her.
Nowadays, except for my grandfather and Xu Jinghuai.
She doesn't trust anyone.
She could only be vigilant at all times and remind herself not to relax at all.
As night fell, Yan Yunshu finished her bird's nest.
After taking a bath and washing up, Yan Yunshu looked at the dressing table again.
There were three letters on the dressing table.
Her aunt gave it to her last night.
That was a letter my mother had written to my aunt, and she hadn't read it yet.
Dare not look.
But now, she still picked them up and read them word by word.
"My brother and sister-in-law..."
Gradually, Yan Yunshu's eyes became blurred with tears.
It was just as my aunt said.
Between the lines of the letter, there is a mother's deep love for her two children.
As well as her distrust of her husband and Zhu Haitang, and the ominous premonition that was revealed.
"Sister-in-law, I always feel that there is no peace in the mansion, especially in the past few days. The way my husband looks at me is as if he wants to get rid of me as soon as possible."
"Sister-in-law, there are many things I dare not tell my parents and brothers, for fear that they will worry about me and lose sleep at night. You are always steady and calm, so I can only tell you now. If anything happens to me, please protect my daughter. The person I worry about most in this world is her. Yi'er is the eldest son and has grown up. No one can do anything to him, but my Shu'er is still young and inexperienced. I am afraid she will be deceived and manipulated."
"Sister-in-law, if I'm not here, please tell my parents to take Shu'er back to the Marquis' Mansion."
It was as if I saw my mother writing with my own eyes and heard her giving me all kinds of instructions with my own ears.
Yan Yunshu's hand holding the letter was shaking violently.
Her big tears rolled down and fell on the rice paper, staining it with ink.
She moved the letter aside and folded it carefully.
Then, he stared blankly at the last letter in front of him.
The north wind was howling, and Yan Yunshu's heart was filled with sadness.
"Mother... Zhu Qingsong's testimony and the evidence he provided are sufficient to prove that my father deceived and murdered you! He fathered a child before marriage, concealed it from the public, and then murdered you. He deserves the death penalty! Mother, you can rest assured in your grave..."
Mother...
Yan Yunshu muttered to herself, tears still falling.
She carefully put the two letters she had read into a locked jewelry box.
Reach out to the third letter.
The third letter consisted of only one piece of paper.
But Yan Yunshu was in a heavy mood and didn't want to continue watching.
The longing for her mother almost buried her. If she looked at her mother one more time, she would stop breathing in sadness.
So she wanted to put the letter away and read it another day.
Can……
Outside the window, the wind and snow became inexplicably more violent. A snowflake unexpectedly fell from the gap in the window somewhere and landed on the third letter.
Yan Yunshu looked at the snowflakes that refused to melt on the letter paper.
My heart moved.
After thinking about it, I continued to open the third letter and read it.
The content of the letter is the same as the previous two.
But at the end of the book, a piece of scribbled handwriting caught Yan Yunshu's attention.
"Sister-in-law, a concubine in my house fell into the water. After waking up, her personality changed drastically. She almost became a completely different person. Tell me, doesn't she look very similar to someone we knew before?"
Yan Yunshu was shocked.
A sharp chill ran up her spine and into the pit of her stomach.
She looked at the line of words over and over again.
The sudden chill was even stronger.
"Is the girl okay? Why are you shaking?"
Yan Yunshu looked at Xiulian and Xiaoye, and the coldness that emanated from her body continued to emanate.
What is true and what is false?
This world is no longer an ordinary world!
"Girl...Girl..."
Yan Yunshu fainted and woke up the next day.
The whole family surrounded her.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"God bless! Bless my Shu'er! Bless my Shu'er!"
The sound of my grandmother crying.
Yan Yunshu covered her swollen forehead, and the shrill and piercing voice of Yan Shuyao from the deep dream just now kept echoing in her mind.
"Yan Yunshu! Everything has just begun!"
It’s just begun, what’s just begun…what does it mean to just begin!!!
Yan Yunshu muttered to herself.
"Shu'er, what did you say..."
A hot towel was applied to Yan Yunshu's forehead. Yan Yunshu felt the warmth with the smell of Chinese medicine, and her mind suddenly became clear.
