Yun Qianmeng led Mu Chun into the front hall. When Aunt Liu, who had been sitting at her seat, saw the newcomers, she immediately stood up with Yun Yan. With a faint smile on her face, she bowed to Yun Qianmeng and said respectfully, "Greetings, Madam!"
Hearing the two addressing her, Yun Qianmeng chuckled and casually said, "Auntie and Third Sister, please sit down! We're all family, why be so formal?"
As he spoke, Yun Qianmeng walked to the first seat and sat down gracefully. His eyes could not help but sweep past Aunt Liu and look at Yun Yan. He felt that Yun Yan looked very good now. She must be living a very comfortable life in Yun Xiangfu without the bullying of Yun Ruoxue and her daughter!
"Thank you, Madam!" Even though Yun Qianmeng was so polite, how could Aunt Liu take such politeness as a blessing!
Yun Qianmeng once single-handedly defeated Su Qing and others, causing Yun Xuanzhi, who had originally ignored her life or death, to look at his daughter differently!
Now she is married to Chu Feiyang and becomes the wife of Prime Minister Chu. The power she holds is incomparable to that of the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Yun's Mansion. Facing such a Yun Qianmeng, Concubine Liu can only be more cautious in her heart. How could she dare to play tricks in front of Yun Qianmeng!
After Yun Qianmeng sat down, Concubine Liu and Yun Yan carefully sat down on the edge of the stool. They calmed down and re-filtered their thoughts when they left the house. Concubine Liu smiled and said, "Madam looks so rosy now. I believe that it won't be long before Prime Minister Chu has a son or a daughter!"
Yun Qianmeng sipped the tea in her hand, but her eyes glanced at Liu Hanyu through the curling steam. Then she put down the teacup with a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt! I've been busy at home recently and haven't had time to go back to visit Aunt and Third Sister. I hope everything is going well at the Yunxiang Mansion!"
"All is well! Thank you for your concern, Madam! The reason I came here today is, firstly, that we haven't seen Madam for a long time, and the Prime Minister also misses Madam very much, so I have the courage to bring the Third Miss to visit you! Secondly, I have a piece of news to tell Madam!" Liu Hanyu looked at the front hall where only Yun Qianmeng's confidant Mu Chun was serving, so she spoke boldly!
Seeing that Liu Hanyu spoke in a flattering tone, Yun Qianmeng did not discourage her enthusiasm and nodded for her to continue!
"On the tenth day, the bailiffs escorting the prisoners came to the prime minister's residence to report the death, saying that the fourth young lady died on the way to exile!" Liu Hanyu spoke of this in a low voice, but her expression was calm, without much sadness!
Upon hearing this news, Yun Qianmeng's pupils shrank slightly, and a solemn air instantly emanated from his brows. He stared at Liu Hanyu and asked softly, "Is this true?"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng asking so seriously, Liu Hanyu immediately nodded and confirmed, "This servant has already found out everything. The Fourth Young Lady couldn't bear the hardship of exile and died on the road! Her body was also casually thrown on the road!"
Listening to Liu Hanyu's repeated confirmation, Yun Qianmeng nodded slightly!
Yun Yiyi was a pampered young lady, having never suffered hardship since childhood. Now, such a delicate young lady was exiled to the frontier, her body really couldn't bear it! However, all this was only her own fault. If Yun Yiyi hadn't been so obsessed with something that didn't belong to her in the first place, if she hadn't used any means to achieve her goals, she wouldn't have ended up like this!
"Have you sent anyone to Sucheng to announce the death?" After Yun Xuanmo was exiled, the Yun Yiheng brothers took their mother and grandmother with them and left the Yun Xiangfu and returned to the Yun family in Sucheng! So, with something like this happening, it was natural to send someone to announce the death!
Speaking of this, Liu Hanyu's expression became even more awkward. She frowned slightly, leaned forward slightly towards Yun Qianmeng, and whispered, "We sent people to Sucheng on the tenth day, but the servants who came back said that the Yun family in Sucheng had already changed hands, and the neighbors didn't know where they moved to!"
It's really strange. The Yun family in Sucheng is the ancestral home, but I don't know what the brothers Yun Yiheng and Yun Yijie were thinking. They actually sold the ancestral home and moved to a place where no one knows them! Even if they were deprived of the qualifications to pass the imperial examination, there is no need to give up like this!
But when Yun Qianmeng listened to Liu Hanyu's statement, a trace of worry flashed across her eyes. Yun Yijie was a playboy, but Yun Yiheng was not a fool!
Now that Yun Xuanmo has been exiled, the old lady has suffered a stroke, and Li is just a woman, the only one in charge of the family is Yun Yiheng. Yun Qianmeng will never believe that Yun Yiheng is an impulsive person. When he left Yun Xiangfu, he must have been filled with great hatred in his heart. Now he has even sold his ancestral home. I'm afraid he has already thought of a way out!
Everything was handled so quickly and without anyone noticing, which shows that Yun Yiheng is indeed a meticulous person!
"Does father know about this?" She was already a married daughter, and if she continued to interfere in her mother's family affairs, she would probably attract criticism from outsiders!
And the only one who can make the decision on this matter is Yun Xuanzhi!
But Liu Hanyu only shook his head slightly and replied softly, "Of course the Prime Minister is furious! Although he has a bad relationship with the Second Master's family, it is the Yun family's ancestral home after all. To think that his own nephew sold it without his knowledge, he must be filled with anger! However, Kyoto is quite a distance from Su City, and the Prime Minister is usually busy with official duties, so he can't take care of these things!"
Yun Qianmeng nodded slightly, and understood!
There was already a rift between brothers Yun Xuanzhi and Yun Xuanmo, and with everything that had happened in the past six months, the brothers had already become enemies!
I'm afraid that in Yun Xuanzhi's heart, he hates not wanting to see Yun Xuanmo's family for the rest of his life!
Even though he was angry about selling his ancestral home, Yun Xuanzhi must have felt relieved when he thought that he wouldn't have to see Yun Xuanmo's family again!
"Oh! Look at what I said! I came to visit Madam happily, but I said some nonsense and made Madam unhappy!" Seeing that Yun Qianmeng knew what was going on, Liu Hanyu changed the tone, throwing away the heaviness just now and replacing it with a touch of relief!
She turned her gaze slightly towards Yun Yan, who was sitting next to her, and then spoke cautiously, "This morning, we received an invitation from the Han Mansion. I'm just wondering why the Han Mansion's dinner is being held at Prince Duan's Mansion. Does Madam know the reason?"
Now Yun Yan is the only unmarried young lady in Yun Xiangzhi's mansion. Even though she is a concubine's daughter and even Liu Hanyu is not Yun Xuanzhi's beloved, Yun Yan is deeply loved by Yun Xuanzhi at this time, and is even allowed to attend such a banquet!
However, as a mother, Liu Hanyu was more worried than Yun Xuanzhi. Yun Yan's status was not as noble as Yun Qianmeng's, and she did not have the strong support of her grandmother's family. Entering a mansion like Prince Duan's Mansion with strict hierarchy, Liu Hanyu was really worried that Yun Yan would be bullied, so she brought her daughter here to test Yun Qianmeng's attitude!
Yun Qianmeng raised her eyes slightly and saw the worry that was not concealed in Liu Hanyu's eyes. The corners of her lips curled up slightly and she slowly said, "Third sister is sixteen now. It's time for her to attend more occasions like this! Father must also hope that third sister will show up more often!"
Yun Qianmeng didn't directly answer Liu Hanyu's question. After all, Liu Hanyu's doubts were also her own confusion. Seeing the protectiveness in Liu Hanyu's eyes, Yun Qianmeng said, "If you are worried, I will let you go to Prince Duan's Mansion with me. What do you think?"
Hearing Yun Qianmeng say this, Liu Hanyu's face lit up with joy. She immediately stood up and bowed to Yun Qianmeng, saying, "Thank you, Madam!"
With Yun Qianmeng around, even if others looked down on Yun Yan, they probably wouldn't dare to bully his daughter openly!
Yun Qianmeng simply smiled faintly, then glanced at Mu Chun. Mu Chun walked towards Yun Yan with a faint smile, and at the same time took out a long royal blue brocade box from her sleeve and said, "Third Miss, this is the long hairpin with a jasper-shaped flower pattern that the eldest lady specially selected for you!"
As he spoke, Mu Chun handed the brocade box in his hand to Yun Yan, and then retreated back to Yun Qianmeng's side!
Yun Yan and Liu Hanyu never expected that Yun Qianmeng was still thinking about them, and a touch of emotion appeared in their eyes!
Especially when Yun Yan looked at the unique brocade box in Fuguitang's hand, she gently opened the lid of the box with her delicate hands and carefully picked up the long double-folded jade hairpin with a flower pattern lying flat inside. She was so fond of it that she didn't know how to express her gratitude to Yun Qianmeng. She could only bow respectfully, "Thank you, big sister, for your consideration!"
Seeing how grateful the mother and daughter were for a small gift, Yun Qianmeng smiled and said, "If you like it, it means I made the right choice! I'll pick you up at the Prime Minister's Residence on the day of the banquet. You should have a good rest these few days!"
Even though Yun Yan had attended some banquets with him before, as a concubine's daughter, she would never be invited to attend the palace banquets and the prince's palace banquets. This time, perhaps the Han Mansion was considering Yun Xuanzhi's face and would not send an invitation!
Liu Hanyu and Yun Yan listened to Yun Qianmeng's instructions and stood up and whispered "Yes!"
"It's getting late, so I won't keep my aunt and third sister here!" Seeing that Liu Hanyu had nothing else to say, Yun Qianmeng spoke calmly, then glanced at Mu Chun and asked her to send them away!
After returning to Mengxin Cottage, I had planned to wait for Chu Feiyang to come back to discuss the pawnshop matters, but I didn't expect that the wait would last until midnight. It was not until midnight that I saw Chu Feiyang walking into the inner room covered in frost and moonlight!
Putting down the scroll in his hand, Yun Qianmeng stood up and walked towards him, taking off his cloak. Seeing a trace of solemnity between Chu Feiyang's brows, he asked, "But something happened in the court!"
Chu Feiyang walked over to the wooden rack and slowly immersed his hands in the warm water to wash away the tiredness on his hands. He then took a clean towel from the rack and wiped the water droplets off his hands. He then pulled Yun Qianmeng to sit on the soft couch together and slowly said, "Things have not been very peaceful in Nanxun recently!"
"Nanxun Country? What happened?" Yun Qianmeng had heard the name of Nanxun Country several times recently, so she was naturally no stranger to this country, but if she asked how familiar she was with it, she didn't know much about it!
All we know is that Nanxun Kingdom has a small territory, is rich in fragrant rice, and the only passage to Western Chu is through Youzhou!
After the King of Chu proposed to abdicate, the Nanxun Kingdom began to be in turmoil. What does this mean? It makes people curious!
