The carriage slowly drove away from the princess's mansion.
The sweet aroma of locust flower cake diffuses, whetting the appetite.
Li Nian lowered her eyes and looked at the full basket of locust flower cakes. Suddenly, she remembered that her mother had returned to the Yun Mansion for some time. She wondered how she was doing in the Yun Mansion.
Will Mr. Yun and Mrs. Yun continue to make things difficult for her?
"Xiaohong." Li Nian ordered loudly, "Change the route to Yun Mansion."
"Okay." Xiaohong, who was driving the carriage, responded. With a slight movement of the hand holding the reins, the carriage turned on the road and drove towards the Yun Mansion in the east of the city.
The capital city in the evening.
An orange light emanated from the high pavilion in the west, shining through the clouds and spreading over the ancient and exquisite city of Kyoto.
Li Nian lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that many vendors on both sides of the street had already started packing up and going home.
Perhaps there were not many pedestrians on the road, so it was relatively smooth. Xiaohong drove the carriage very fast and soon arrived at the gate of Yun Mansion.
Li Nian looked up at the two large gold-plated characters "Yun Mansion" on the vermilion lacquer gate, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
She didn't have any good memories of this place.
When she was in Yunjingting, she wanted Yun Erniang to stay there forever so that she wouldn't have to come back and be tortured by Master Yun and Madam Yun.
But Yun Er Niang kept saying that she had married Master Yun and would be Master Yun's woman for the rest of her life.
Later, Master Yun came personally to pick her up and take her back home, and Yun Er Niang happily followed Master Yun back.
Li Nian still remembers Yun'er's mother's shy smile at that time, as if she had picked up tens of thousands of taels of gold.
"Madam, we have arrived at the Yun Mansion."
Li Nian lifted the curtain, picked up one of the food boxes and asked Xiaohong to hold it, then slowly got off the carriage.
When the gatekeeper saw her, he quickly came forward and bowed, his voice fawning: "Fourth Miss, you're back."
According to the rules, when she returned to the Yun Mansion, she had to meet Mr. Yun and Mrs. Yun first.
Li Nian asked calmly, "Is my father at home?"
The servant's face was full of smiles, and his attentive attitude was completely different from usual: "Yes, the master is in the study. I will go and inform him right away."
"No, I'll go by myself."
Walking through the familiar corridor, Li Nian's mood gradually calmed down.
She just came to deliver something. If Yun Er Niang wasn't the original owner's biological mother and wasn't nice to Jin He, she wouldn't want to get involved with anyone in the Yun Mansion.
On the way, a servant told her that Master Yun was in the study at that time.
Following the original owner's memory, Li Nian came to the door of the study.
Tap a few times: "Knock, knock, knock."
From inside came Master Yun's powerful voice: "Come in."
Li Nian pushed the door open and walked in.
Mr. Yun was writing at his desk. When he looked up and saw her, he was stunned in surprise.
Then, he immediately put down his brush and walked over with a smile on his face: "Qiu Wu is back! Why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have someone prepare your favorite dishes."
He looked past Li Nian and asked in a friendly tone, "Why didn't you bring my precious granddaughter back?"
Li Nian bowed and said calmly, "I just came from the princess's residence. The princess gave me some locust flower cakes as a reward. I thought Second Mother would like this kind of snack, so I brought it over on the way."
"The locust flower cake from the Princess's residence?" Master Yun's eyes lit up. "Nian'er is so close to the Princess now? Great, great!"
He stood up, walked around the desk, and said warmly, "Come on, I'll go with you to see your mother."
Li Nian was not surprised by his sudden change of attitude. After all, everyone in the capital knew that Marquis Xiao loved Jinhe, his eldest granddaughter.
What's more, Xiao Yunyu has made many military achievements in the northwest, and Jinhe is his only child.
No wonder women in ancient times always liked to rely on children to maintain their status.
Li Nian didn't have any aversion to these people's reactions. She just hoped that when she was away, Yun Er Niang could live a comfortable life in the Yun Mansion.
As soon as the two women walked out of the study, they ran into Madam Yun and her maid.
"Oh, isn't this our prince's wife?" Madam Yun had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were devoid of any smile. "Why did you come back at this time? Could it be that you can't get used to living in the Marquis' Mansion and are returning to your parents' home to relax?"
Li Nian bowed coldly: "Greetings, Madam."
Master Yun frowned and looked at Madam Yun: "What are you talking about, Madam? Qiu Wu is a filial child. She specially brought snacks from the Princess's Mansion back to visit her mother."
"Princess Mansion?" Madam Yun's eyes flashed with jealousy, and she twitched her lips into a smile. "That's truly promising. But..." She glanced at the empty space behind Li Nian, "Why didn't you bring the child back? Are you worried that our Yun Mansion won't be able to take good care of him?"
Li Nian looked at Mrs. Yun who was obviously looking for trouble and frowned impatiently.
Not wanting to waste time arguing with Madam Yun, she turned to Master Yun and asked, "Father, shall we go?"
Mr. Yun nodded and said to Madam Yun, "Madam, please go and do your work first. I will accompany Nian'er to see Er Niang."
Looking at the father and daughter's backs as they left, Mrs. Yun clenched the handkerchief in her hand angrily.
Ever since Li Nian gave birth to the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, the master's attitude towards the concubine changed 180 degrees. Not only did he renovate the courtyard, but he also let her stay overnight.
It was just a daughter, but considering the temperament of Xiao Shizi, and now his fame, Yun Qiuwu, let alone a concubine's daughter, even if she was the legitimate daughter of the Yun family, might not be able to keep such a man.
Even if she knew some tricks, so what? When Yun Erniang first entered the mansion, she also attracted the master's love and favor day and night.
But once time goes by, you will naturally get tired of it.
Now that Prince Xiao is far away in the northwest border, he might already have other women by his side.
Thinking of this, Madam Yun snorted coldly and turned away.
