Yun Qianmeng glanced at Shui'er who had brought people in without permission without leaving a trace, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. Then she withdrew her gaze and turned her attention to Aunt Liu and Yun Yan who followed behind!
I saw that Concubine Liu was in her early thirties, and she was a romantic and affectionate person. Although she lowered her head, a faint charm emanated from her, especially her exquisite figure. Even though she had given birth to a child, she was still graceful. No wonder she was able to jump from a maid in the prime minister's mansion to a concubine. She was really pitiful!
Yun Yan, who followed closely behind Aunt Liu, looked very charming. She wore a pink long skirt with a silver waistcoat, like a lotus bud about to bloom. She exuded a fresh and natural aura from head to toe. Although she was not very old, her figure was well-proportioned. She must have inherited Aunt Liu's good looks!
However, Yun Yan lived in seclusion in the boudoir after all, and was often bullied by Su Qing and her daughter. Her adorable face like a lotus was full of nervousness, and her bright eyes could not hide the endless cautiousness. She had none of the grace and decorum of a lady from a noble family!
Shui'er, who had led the two in, felt a moment of fear when Yun Qianmeng's gaze swept over her. After all, the concubine and the illegitimate daughter came to pay their respects, and the legitimate daughter could have simply sent them away without showing up. But she had taken the initiative to bring them in. Yun Qianmeng didn't show any anger or blame at all, but only smiled at her faintly, which made her heart beat like a drum. However, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Miss, concubine Liu and the third daughter come to pay their respects!"
After she finished speaking, Shui'er lowered her head and stood sideways behind Yun Qianmeng, not saying anything more...
But Yun Qianmeng did not respond. She just slowly turned the page of miscellaneous history that she had just read, and ignored the two people standing in front of her!
Seeing this situation, Aunt Liu couldn't help but feel panicked. The eldest lady had clearly smiled at her as she walked in, so why didn't she say a word now and even put all her attention on the book in her hand?
Thinking of this, Aunt Liu seemed even more embarrassed, wondering if coming here today was too abrupt.
Mustering the courage to look up slightly, Aunt Liu saw Yun Qianmeng leaning on the soft couch with a peaceful expression, holding a book in her delicate hands and reading carefully. Her brows were surprisingly calm and steady, and even without saying a word, she made people feel uneasy!
"Yun Yan and Concubine Liu pay their respects to the eldest lady!" But at this time, Yun Yan, who originally seemed petty, slowly stepped forward and pulled Concubine Liu, who was secretly looking at Yun Qianmeng, to kneel down together!
Yun Qianmeng's hand that was turning the pages did not pause at all because of the sudden voice. Instead, Mu Chun, who was standing beside her, looked at Yun Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, with a scrutinizing gaze!
If we say that when they first met, Yun Yan gave people the impression of being delicate and pitiful, but the words she spoke just now made everyone understand that such a weak and powerless woman was actually very opinionated!
It seems that in this prime minister's mansion, no matter whether it is the concubine or the young lady, they are probably not easy to deal with. People who are usually nowhere to be seen have come uninvited today. I'm afraid it is because of the proposal of marriage from the housekeeper Zhao!
But I don’t know how the lady will respond later?
Thinking of this, Mu Chun couldn't help but look at Yun Qianmeng. She had just been reading calmly, but now a thick smile hung on the corner of her mouth. However, a hint of coldness shone in her eyes as she stared at the pages...
"Mu Chun, what time is it?" Feeling the sun was a bit dazzling, Yun Qianmeng handed the book in his hand to Mu Chun, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his temples with the index fingers of both hands!
"Miss, it's almost noon! It's windy outside, you should go back to the house!" After taking the book handed over by Yun Qianmeng and putting it away, Mu Chun immediately and considerately handed over a cup of hot tea to warm Yun Qianmeng up!
Yun Qianmeng gracefully accepted the blue and white porcelain teacup, lifted the lid, blew on it a few times, and then drank gracefully. Only then did she notice the two people kneeling in front of her. She immediately looked at Mu Chun and scolded her with a hint of anger, "Aunt Liu and Third Sister are here? You little girl, you saw me engrossed in reading, why didn't you remind me? You made Aunt Liu and Third Sister kneel here so tired!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu and Yun Yan immediately put on ingratiating smiles. Although they knew that Yun Qianmeng was trying to establish her authority in front of them, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. They even spoke before Mu Chun could admit her mistake, "What are you talking about, Miss! It is a blessing for us to be able to see you so closely. How can we blame Sister Mu Chun!"
These words were extremely flattering, but because they came from Aunt Liu's mouth, coupled with her flattering smile, they did not seem vulgar!
Yun Qianmeng had a faint smile on her face. Seeing how sincere she was, a look of joy flashed in her eyes. She immediately stood up and said, "In that case, Auntie and Sister, please go back! It's almost noon now, and I'm sure the food has already been delivered to the various courtyards. I won't keep you for dinner!"
After saying this, he took Muchun and the others back to the attic...
But at this moment, a pink figure suddenly crawled in front of Yun Qianmeng and cried softly, "Miss, please make the decision for me! I don't want to marry the eldest son of Housekeeper Zhao!"
Seeing Yun Yan crying so sadly, Yun Qianmeng's faint smile gradually faded, and her dark eyebrows slightly raised. She inadvertently glanced at Mu Chun, who stepped forward and said with a hint of reproach, "Third Miss, how dare you block the eldest lady's way?"
Seeing Yun Yan like this, Aunt Liu knew that this opportunity was too good to miss. She immediately crawled to Yun Qianmeng's feet and said with tears in her eyes, "Miss, please be kind and save us two!"
After saying that, the two of them didn't even bother to listen to Yun Qianmeng's instructions, and they just started kowtowed fiercely...
In less than a moment, their foreheads were already red, but as long as Yun Qianmeng didn't say anything, they probably wouldn't stop!
Yun Qianmeng looked coldly at the mother and daughter who were begging her like this, especially the blood that was gradually seeping out of Yun Yan's forehead. She knew in her heart that this was probably a woman with a strong character. If Yun Yan was allowed to marry the son of the housekeeper Zhao, she would probably die for her loyalty!
This was somewhat different from Yun Qianmeng's previous imagination, which made her admire Yun Yan a little!
However, he was already walking on thin ice in the Prime Minister's Residence at this moment, and he must not allow any more complications to arise because of these two people!
Moreover, the three Yun sisters seem to be arranged in order of seniority, but in fact they were born only a few months apart. This shows that Aunt Liu is not a good person either. If you let a wolf into the house, it will be too late to regret it!
Qiluo Garden was filled with cries and the sounds of kowtows. Yun Qianmeng looked down at the two people at her feet with a cold gaze. The depths of her eyes were like a vast ocean, and it was impossible to fathom the mystery contained within. A faint, emotionless voice slowly rose amid the clamor, "I am only the eldest daughter, and father is the head of the family! If my aunt and sister have any grievances, they can go to my father. There is no need to waste their time with me!"
After saying that, he raised his legs to leave...
But Yun Yan and Aunt Liu knew in their hearts that if they missed this opportunity, they would never see Yun Qianmeng again!
Therefore, without caring about propriety anymore, they rushed forward, each holding onto Yun Qianmeng's legs, crying loudly, "Miss, if Aunt Su had said to marry Yan'er off to a respectable family, I wouldn't have dared to complain! But the eldest son of Housekeeper Zhao is an uneducated bastard. How could I bear to marry my daughter off to him as a concubine?"
At this time, Yun Yan was also crying miserably, with tears on her cheeks and her voice a little hoarse, but the hand that was holding Yun Qianmeng's left leg was extremely firm, and no matter how hard Shui'er and others tried, they couldn't move it away!
"Big sister, please help me for the sake of our sisterhood! Yun Yan doesn't ask for a rich husband, she only asks for someone who understands and loves her, and I will be satisfied! But you must know the character of the eldest son of the Zhao family, and you must know the situation in the mansion very well! If we were not desperate, we would never come to bother you, so please have mercy on us!"
Being held by these two people, Yun Qianmeng was unable to walk. Seeing that her kind words could not make them retreat, impatience flashed in her eyes. Mu Chun and others saw her expression and increased the strength in their hands...
"Miss, I have something to say. Do you know how Madam passed away?" Little did Yun Qianmeng know that after Mu Chun and the others finally pulled Madam Liu away, she would hear such shocking news...
"etc!"
