Yan Yunshu's smile was as bright as a flower in full bloom in spring, which immediately touched Xu Jinghuai's heart, and Xu Jinghuai's face turned red.
Xiulian was so confused that she wished she could hide in a crack in the ground.
My girl is only eleven or twelve years old, but she is becoming more and more bold. Now she even takes the initiative to ask Your Highness to marry her!
Although the royal family has taken away the girl's engagement letter, the girl has already stepped half a foot into the royal family. However, the matter of granting marriage is all decided by the emperor. The girl is making such a fuss in front of everyone. How will others view her?
Thinking of this, Xiulian didn't care anymore and went straight forward to grab Yan Yunshu.
"girl……"
Yan Yunshu looked at Xiulian and said, "Xiulian, I know what you want to say, but he is Xu Jinghuai!"
Then, she looked at Xu Jinghuai again, "Your Highness doesn't need to send us off! This place is very close to the Prime Minister's Residence, we can go back by ourselves. I just hope Your Highness can remember what Yun Shu said just now."
Xu Jinghuai blushed and suddenly lowered the car curtain.
Only a sound was heard from inside the carriage.
"Return to the palace."
The carriage quickly drove away.
Yan Yunshu looked at the carriage going away, and the smile on her face could not be hidden.
Xiulian pulled Yan Yunshu and said, "Girl...you are so brave!"
Yan Yunshu finally withdrew her gaze. She smiled and said, "Yunshu is just brave, but some people are willing to give up their lives..."
At this point, Yan Yunshu choked up, and then even she herself was stunned.
Why do I want to cry at such a happy moment?
She looked in the direction where the carriage was going away, but she didn't know that Xu Jinghuai had just lowered the curtain and retracted his gaze from her.
"girl……"
Xiulian came to Yan Yunshu and said, "It's getting dark. Let's go back. If we don't go back soon, Madam will be worried."
Yan Yunshu nodded towards Xiulian.
The two of them walked towards the prime minister's residence.
The autumn moon was boundless, and the bluestone streets, illuminated by the moonlight, shone with a cool sheen, like a winding silver ribbon. The autumn wind swept past, lifting Yan Yunshu's soft hair, or perhaps curling up a few fallen yellow leaves. The sweet fragrance of osmanthus filled the city, swirling in the air before gently falling.
Although there are endless streams of people, it seems quiet and peaceful.
When Yan Yunshu returned to the prime minister's residence, there was a carriage parked in front of the gate.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the carriage of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Yan Yunshu hurried forward and saw that the coachman was indeed from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
She quickly lifted her skirt and ran towards Fanghua Garden.
Xiulian exclaimed from behind, "Girl! Run slower!"
After running all the way back to Fanghua Garden, Yan Yunshu only had a little sweat on her forehead, and she didn't even breathe hard. She sighed in her heart that she had a lot of energy when she was young, and went straight to her mother's room.
She stopped in front of the door and knocked lightly.
I only heard my mother's gentle voice coming from inside, "Is that Shu'er? Come in quickly."
Yan Yunshu pushed the door open and walked in.
But he saw his aunt Sun sitting opposite his mother.
After Yan Yunshu and her aunt exchanged greetings, she sat next to her mother.
Her aunt looked at her and smiled.
"It's only been a few months since I last saw you. You've grown taller and become even more beautiful."
The mother smiled, caressed Yan Yunshu's hair lovingly, and asked, "Where did you go to play naughty things today?"
"Mother, Yunshu was just strolling around the street and bought some small things. She wasn't being naughty."
As Yan Yunshu spoke, she leaned on her mother and raised her face to look at her mother.
But she saw a hint of red at the corners of her mother's eyes, and her heart sank suddenly.
I looked at my aunt again and saw that she felt the same way.
She suddenly understood that her mother must know.
Right now, I should call my aunt over to make some decisions.
These two people obviously still treated Yan Yunshu as a child, and continued to talk in a vague way in front of her.
"If he cares about your two children, it's good for you too. A complete family is still necessary. So, we just turn a blind eye to it these days."
"He does care about the child, but I just can't get over it..."
Wen sighed.
Yan Yunshu frowned, and her incredibly beautiful face was full of coldness.
Do you care? But you're just pretending!
The two chatted for a few more words and then parted ways. Wen took Yan Yunshu to have dinner.
Also having the meal together was Yan Yunshu's father, Prime Minister Yan.
Yan Yunshu was eating, watching coldly as Prime Minister Yan asked about his mother's well-being, picking up food and smiling.
The extremely hypocritical grandmother standing by was also all smiles, acting like a loving mother.
"Ms. Wen, eat more."
Then the grandmother looked at Yan Yunshu again, with a kind smile on her face, but when she met Yan Yunshu's eyes as sharp as ice, she suddenly shuddered.
Stunned.
He quickly came back to his senses and said, "Shu'er, try this dish."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks. However, when Yan Yunshu was about to put the food down, she took the opportunity to move the bowl suddenly, so that the piece of food with chopsticks actually fell directly on the hem of Yan Yunshu's skirt.
Yan Yunshu put down her bowl and chopsticks and burst into tears.
"Grandma doesn't like me! She always likes to punish me and beat me when Mom is not around. She always says that concubines are good and I am a bad thing. Now I even want to dirty Yunshu's favorite skirt!!"
Wen's usually gentle face was now terrifyingly gloomy.
She stood up, brought Yun Shu to her side, and carefully wiped the stains off her body.
Prime Minister Yan's face looked terrible.
Grandma also began to beat her chest and stamp her feet, "Hey, little girl, how could you say such nonsense and cause misunderstandings! When did I ever hit or scold you? When did I ever say those words? Grandma can't dote on you enough!"
"That day, when the eldest brother of the Zhu family came to our house, my grandmother told him and my aunt in front of Shu'er that he and my half-sister were good people, and that my brother and I were bad people, and that we would be kicked out sooner or later!!"
As Yan Yunshu spoke, she threw herself into Wen's arms and cried heart-wrenchingly.
She cried with all her heart, but her words were so false.
It was true that Zhu Nianyan came to her house, and it was true that they talked together, but she had no idea what these people said.
I'm just guessing based on the truth I know.
Moreover, my grandmother did say that she was not as good as my concubine sister, but she did not dare to beat or scold her.
After all, Prime Minister Yan had just taken the position of Prime Minister not long ago thanks to the merits of Marquis Wen, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion still relied on her mother's generous dowry and strong financial resources to support it.
Therefore, Yan Yunshu's words must have made her grandmother anxious. She stood up and was about to defend herself, but because Yan Yunshu mentioned Zhu Nianyan, she felt guilty and began to stammer.
"You you you...you you you...Shu'er, stop talking nonsense..."
