Chapter 297 Yuwen Mu: If you knew... I'm just lucky

"Sister."

"Yinyin, sit down. You haven't been to the palace for a while. Come and talk to your sister."

Su Ciyin didn't sit down, but bowed and said, "Sister, I know it was mother who asked you to tell me. If you want me to get married, you don't have to say it."

Concubine Rong sighed, "The Zhou family is actually a good family. I asked someone to find out about Zhou Shaoyin. Although he is a little weird, he is not a playboy and a good person. I just hope you don't reject the marriage they arranged for you just because you are angry with your parents."

Su Ciyin said stubbornly, "Sister, the world is different now. It doesn't matter if a woman doesn't marry. For parents, their children are used to continue the family's honor. Sister, you understand this much better than I do."

After she finished speaking, she saw her sister's dazed look on her face, and she regretted saying this, but in the end she pursed her lips and did not speak. Her sister was unwilling to enter the palace at first.

If women in this world were not aiming for glory and wealth, who would be willing to enter the palace and share the affection of a man with so many other women, not to mention that my sister already had a lover at that time...

After a long time, Concubine Rong finally spoke, "Yinyin, I'm not forcing you to get married, but whether it's the Zhou family or someone else in the future, it depends on your own heart. Don't just ignore it because you're angry with your parents. I heard from mother that you're running away every day now, what are you doing?"

Thinking of the academy, Su Ciyin's face looked better. "It is an academy, founded by Mr. He. However, they only accept children, and most of them are children of the people in the capital and the villagers near the capital. I am a teacher there."

"Be a teacher? Yinyin is so amazing. Sister will tell mother later and ask her not to bother you." Su Ci Ning could see that her sister really liked what she was doing.

"Don't worry, sister. I will explain everything to mom when I get home. She won't mind."

They won't stand for anything that can benefit their reputation.

Su Ciyin did not have dinner in the palace. She left after talking to her elder sister. She really disliked this luxurious and closed palace. A few years ago, her elder sister was sick and said she wanted to see her. She also met the emperor in her elder sister's palace that time. The emperor was very gentle to her elder sister and personally fed her medicine.

But such an emperor, after leaving his sister's room, even in the yard, flirted with a concubine who came to visit his sister. The hand that had just held the bowl to feed medicine to his sister soon held the hand of the other woman.

Su Ciyin hated this palace. It imprisoned her sister and took away the smile on her sister's face. From then on, every time she saw her sister, it became a gift in the eyes of others, and her sister never laughed as happily as before.

After leaving the palace, Su Ciyin went directly to the academy outside the city. She really wanted to see those purely happy smiling faces.

…

Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall, and another year begins.

Old Madam Shen lived in Yunyang County for a few months. At first, she felt sorry for her grandson's poor diet and poor living conditions. Later, she took the initiative to bring the nanny and used her own money to buy cloth, cut clothes, and sent them to the charity hall in Yunyang County for the children there. She no longer urged her grandson to get married.

Shen Duan also wrote a letter to tease Shen Yuan, saying that his grandmother had changed a lot now. If she didn't return to Beijing, she would have become a female official in Yunyang County.

Princess Kangle and Xie Yuan left Beijing in May last year, returned to Beijing in December, and left Beijing again in March after the Chinese New Year. However, last time they went south, and this time they are going north. It is almost November now since they left in March, and it is estimated that they have reached Yunzhou.

"Thank you, there will be a birthday party for Shuyan's child in two days. Let's go together. Are you free?"

"When I have time, Yuwen Mu has been telling me since two months ago that if I dare to miss his beloved daughter's first birthday banquet, he will definitely come to Jingzhao Prefecture to arrest me."

Xie Hui thought about it and found it interesting. After the stern-faced commander of the Imperial City Division had children, he would grab everyone he saw and talk about his two daughters.

On October 28th, one was born at 4.8 jins, the other at 5.2 jins. One was named Lu Lu and the other was named Yu Wenmao. Because they were born in winter, they were given prosperous names...

Xie Hui knew all these things by heart, because Yuwen Mu told him every time he met him. Now, when Xie Hui saw Yuwen Mu in other places, he would avoid him.

"Don't laugh at Lord Yuwen. When you become a father, you might be even more exaggerated than him."

Two months ago, after Shen Yuan and Xie Hui discussed it, Xie Hui stopped taking birth control pills. They both felt that they were ready to have a child.

Xie Hui frowned and said, "I won't. I will just be happy at home."

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see."

…

"So cute! No wonder your Lord Yuwen always tells everyone about it. If it were me, I would do the same."

Yan Siyu also smiled and said, "Yes, by now almost everyone in the capital should know that Lord Yuwen has a pair of twin daughters."

Lu Shuyan raised her hands to cover her face. "I have already taught him a lesson, but it doesn't work."

Yuwen Mu now talks about this wherever he goes, and even the emperor knows about it. Today, when he turns one year old, he even has someone send him a pair of gold locks.

"Why teach me? If I had twins, I wouldn't just tell them on the road. I would tell them on the city wall and in the teahouse."

"If you want to have a baby, you have to get married first. Where are you going to give birth now?"

Yan Siyu held the child in her arms and said boldly, "Every child you give birth to is mine. They are all the same. In the future, any child born by Yunyi or Yuanyuan will recognize me as their godmother."

"You'll save yourself the trouble of having to give birth yourself."

"Of course, I will treat them well. When I get old, remember to tell your children to support me."

Yan Siyu was doing very well in the matchmaking department, and had already begun to look like the best matchmaker in the capital. There were even families who came to the matchmaking department to ask her for help in introductions. During this period, she also found a very good marriage for her brother. She was now completely focused on this. Every time her parents urged her to get married, she would say, "There are still so many unmarried people among the people, how can I get married!"

After so many times, Yan's parents no longer cared much about it. Now it was enough for the child to eat and sleep. What would happen if the child didn't get married when he got old? Anyway, they would be dead by then and wouldn't be able to see it.

At the banquet, Yuwen Mu held a child in each hand, and his eye wrinkles were all smiling. The adults who knew Yuwen Mu before covered their faces and avoided him, not daring to look closely. The usually stern-looking Yuwen was too scary when he smiled...

On November 17, the capital was freezing cold and even snowing. On days like this, people stayed indoors and were reluctant to go out. Shen Yuan lazily sat in the warm duty room, too lazy to move. He began to feel drowsy after looking at the files for a while, but it was obvious that the days were not so leisurely.

"Sir, the Northern Guards discovered a body on Yunyan Mountain, 20 miles north of the capital, during their patrol."

When Shen Yuan heard this, he immediately stopped dozing off. "Where's the body? Has it been delivered?"

"It has been sent to the morgue. The coroner is performing an autopsy."

"I'll go and take a look."

Shen Yuan had been to the Dali Temple's morgue many times. One advantage of winter was that the morgue didn't have as strong a smell as in summer.

But today, something strange happened. Shen Yuan vomited at the door before he even entered.
