When the onlookers saw Rong Yunhe appear, they immediately dispersed, as if they were a little afraid of him!
But Rong Yunhe didn't care much. At this moment, his eyes were on Yun Qianmeng. He just felt that the woman's voice was very familiar, and what was even more noticeable was the aura emanating from the woman, which was a bit mysterious!
Especially when everyone was avoiding him, the woman in front of him stepped into the gate of Tianfulou without hesitation. Just based on this point, Rong Yunhe had to look at her with admiration!
"Mu Chun, why don't you let go?" Yun Qianmeng stepped forward and did not talk to Rong Yunhe immediately. Instead, she asked the maid to let go!
However, Mu Chun's hand had already occupied most of the paper box. She was not willing to give up at this point, so she pouted her lips and whispered, "Miss, it was this boy who stole it from us! I have been standing here for two hours, but he didn't come to queue up..."
"You don't even listen to me? How did you learn the daily rules?" But Yun Qianmeng didn't want to listen to her explanation. A cold light flashed under the veil, and Mu Chun let go of her hand obediently!
The boy immediately held the paper box in his arms happily, and looked at Mu Chun with pride in his eyes!
Although Mu Chun was reprimanded in public, he did not show any sign of being aggrieved. Instead, he retreated obediently behind Yun Qianmeng. The change in his expression was so great that the servant thought he had made a mistake for a moment!
Rong Yunhe saw everything, a strange color flashing in his cold eyes. He then walked downstairs with his file-keeping steps. When he came behind the servant, he said in a calm but unquestionable voice, "Return the cakes to this young lady!"
Si'er didn't react for a moment. She stretched out her hand and scratched her ears vigorously. She shook her round head and asked unwillingly, "Master, this, this is the servant who came here to queue up first!"
A cold look instantly flashed across Rong Yunhe's beautiful almond-shaped eyes, frightening Si'er so much that he immediately stuffed the snack in his hand into Mu Chun's arms, then retreated angrily behind Rong Yunhe without saying a word!
Mu Chun looked at the snacks that suddenly appeared in his arms. He didn't know whether to accept them or not. He could only look at Yun Qianmeng in front of him and wait for her to speak!
Yun Qianmeng no longer refused, bowed to Rong Yunhe and said "Thank you!", then led Mu Chun out of Tianfu Tower!
At this time, the Xiangfu carriage arrived at the gate of Tianfu Tower on time. Mi Ma helped Yun Qianmeng get on the carriage and then told the driver to drive carefully...
Rong Yunhe watched the carriage leave the door, recognized the word "Yun" engraved on the wall of the carriage, and understood everything!
Just as he was about to turn around and leave with Si'er, the chance encounter in the palace half a month ago emerged in his mind. A hint of surprise appeared in his cold eyes, and he couldn't help but ask himself: Could it be her?
Si'er followed Rong Yunhe angrily. He just couldn't understand why his introverted son, Jizu, gave the pastries he had gotten to that fierce little girl today?
That was the snack that the young master prepared for the old lady of the Rong Mansion. The old lady was old and had a poor appetite, but she particularly liked the emerald green bean cake from Tianfulou!
The young master happened to have nothing to do today, so he explained the matter to the old lady. But now he has returned empty-handed, wouldn’t that disappoint the old lady?
The more Si'er thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became, and her entire face wrinkled into a ball...
Rong Yunhe happened to turn around and took in all his facial expressions. He immediately shook his head. This Si'er was not even as good as a little girl in the prime minister's mansion!
The two of them got on the carriage of the Rong Mansion together. Rong Yunhe sat upright with his eyes closed to rest, while Si'er quietly lifted the curtain and stared at the beautiful market scenery outside with envy!
"Si'er, don't you know you're wrong?" Rong Yunhe spoke with his eyes closed. He was still calm, but with an awe-inspiring seriousness. Si'er was so scared that her hands trembled, and the car curtain fell from her fingertips with a "crash"!
Si'er knew his young master must have known about his tricks, so he immediately knelt on his knees and admitted his fault. "Young master, I was just having fun and went to the street corner to watch the acrobatics. I wanted to rush back as soon as the mung bean cakes were out of the pot, but I didn't expect them to sell so well today! Si'er knows his fault, please punish me!"
Rong Yunhe still kept his eyes closed, letting Si'er kneel before him. The car was completely silent...
Si'er's heart was beating fast at this moment. His young master had been disliked by everyone since he was born because of his hair, but he treated him, a servant who had followed him since childhood, like a brother!
But I actually lied in public today and brought shame to the young master. I’m afraid that he will be angry and want to kick me out of the house!
Thinking of this, Si'er couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, but he knew Rong Yunhe's personality very well. If he begged for mercy at this time, he would probably end up in an even worse situation, so he could only kneel in front of him with his head down!
Knowing that the carriage had stopped at the gate of the Rong Mansion, Rong Yunhe finally opened his eyes. However, his eyes were too cold, and no emotion could be seen in them. However, Si'er shrank back in fear!
"From today on, you'll be fined three months' salary! If you do it again, you'll be kicked out!" The words were like a gentle breeze, shocking and frightening Si'er. She nodded repeatedly and quickly followed Rong Yunhe into the mansion...
Meanwhile, inside the Prime Minister's carriage, Mu Chun happily hugged the paper box, sniffing the fragrance emanating from it. She looked at Yun Qianmeng with admiration in her wide, round eyes, and said happily, "Young lady is truly amazing! That servant is truly despicable. He clearly got it for fun, yet he still shamelessly claimed to have arrived first! I've been waiting in line for two hours, and why is he nowhere to be seen?"
Yun Qianmeng saw her preciously holding the box of Emerald Green Bean Cakes, and then saw the little girl's face full of indignation. She shook her head with a smile, tapped Mu Chun's head with her slender fingers, and said dotingly, "You, you are so ungrateful! I've already given it to you, and you still won't give in!"
Being teased by Yun Qianmeng like this, Aunt Mi also laughed, while Mu Chun's cheeks turned slightly red. Thinking of how she had snatched food from a man in the street, she felt that it was really embarrassing for a moment!
However, thinking of the white-haired man who had just appeared, Muchun suppressed her annoyance and wondered, "Miss, the young man who just appeared must be the eldest son of the Rong family! I didn't expect him to be so handsome. It's a pity that he has so much white hair..."
After saying that, the little girl shook her head with some regret, showing a sense of regret!
Yun Qianmeng saw her talking about Rong Yunhe, so she asked, "What a pity?"
Before Mu Chun could speak, Aunt Mi said, "It is said that the Rong family's grandson was born with white hair. When the Rong family's master saw that his wife had given birth to such an evil child, he almost had him drowned! Fortunately, the old lady arrived and saved his life. She also announced that he was very talented and that God was afraid that he would die young, leaving behind regrets! However, Master Rong has never liked his wife since then, and has even ignored his son. He only favors Concubine Zhou in the family!"
Yun Qianmeng couldn't help laughing when listening to Aunt Mi's explanation. It seemed that men in ancient times all favored their concubines. It really was true that a wife was not as good as a concubine!
Besides, gray hair is not incurable. Even in modern times, there are still some young people with gray hair, and they are only some smart children!
But the people in ancient times were so ignorant that they would think that any strange phenomenon was caused by demons. It was a pity that Young Master Rong was affected by the environment!
As if listening to a story, Yun Qianmeng saw that Aunt Mi was getting excited, so she chimed in and said, "If that's the case, then Young Master Rong is really pitiful, isn't he?"
Hearing Yun Qianmeng's sigh, Aunt Mi shook her head vigorously, then said seriously, "Although Young Master Rong doesn't have the love of Master Rong, Old Madam Rong and the Empress Dowager Rongxian in the palace do love him very much! I heard that the Empress Dowager treats Young Master Rong as her own son and often brings him into the palace to reminisce about the past! Based on this, even if Master Rong and Concubine Zhou dislike the wife and her son, they can't do anything about it!"
While chatting, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the prime minister's residence!
Mu Chun jumped off the carriage, then helped Yun Qianmeng down and slowly sat in the sedan chair...
"Let's go to Baishun Hall first!" Yun Qianmeng whispered as she lowered the sedan chair curtain. Aunt Mi nodded and asked someone to carry the sedan chair towards Baishun Hall. She herself carried the rosewood box and walked towards Qiluo Garden!
I thought everyone had already had lunch and gone back to rest, but when Yun Qianmeng stepped into the courtyard of Baishun Hall, Su Qing was being punished to stand in front of the main house, and Nanny Wang was kneeling beside her, crying and begging for mercy to the old lady inside, "Old lady, please have mercy! Our concubine is pregnant and weak, she can't stand the punishment! I am willing to take the punishment in your place. Old lady, please come out and see your concubine, she is really dying..."
Yun Qianmeng looked at the mayor in front of her and really didn't see that Su Qing looked unwell. But Nanny Wang's yelling was annoying, especially her not-so-young face covered with tears and snot, which made people feel sick for a moment!
Su Qing heard footsteps and turned around. Seeing Yun Qianmeng standing calmly by her side, watching her joke, a hint of hatred flashed in her cold eyes. Nanny Wang shamelessly got up and ran to Yun Qianmeng's side, saying flatteringly, "Miss, the old lady loves you the most. Look, our concubine is pregnant with the Prime Minister's son and can't stand standing for a long time! Please ask the old lady for a favor. Otherwise, if anything happens to the Prime Minister's child, won't it be Miss's fault?"
Yun Qianmeng listened to Nanny Wang's threats with amusement. She stopped Mu Chun, who was about to rush out to argue with her, and said calmly, "Who am I? You, a wicked slave, actually dared me to condescend to plead for a concubine. Are you senile or just being foolish? Do you want me to report this to the old lady and have you and your master kicked out of the Prime Minister's residence?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Nanny Wang's crying stopped abruptly like a kite with a broken string, and Su Qing's face turned ashen with anger at Yun Qianmeng. He originally wanted to use Yun Qianmeng's reputation of harming Yun Xuan's offspring to divert the old lady's anger away from himself, but he didn't expect that Yun Qianmeng was born with a sharp tongue and couldn't stand the slightest loss!
Yun Qianmeng saw the master and servant's faces constantly changing like rainbows, and thought of the suffering that Nanny Xia had endured. She sneered in her heart. They couldn't stand being said a few words by others. For those who were harmed by them, they couldn't even get back the interest for such a small matter!
And I was just talking casually, how could I really let the old lady kick Su Qing out of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Besides, she is pregnant at this time, and there is no guarantee that Yun Xuanzhi will not build a new house outside for Su Qing to live in. By then, if she wants to get everything back, it will probably not be easy as it is in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
I would like to keep Su Qing and treat her well!
As the two sides were confronting each other, Aunt Liu emerged from the warm room, smiling. Seeing Yun Qianmeng, her smile was incredibly warm. She walked forward and bowed respectfully to Yun Qianmeng. Then, she said with a smile, "The old lady said she seemed to hear the eldest lady's voice, so she sent this servant out to check! I didn't believe it at first, but now I see it's really the eldest lady! You and the old lady truly share a deep bond!"
Yun Qianmeng saw Liu Hanyu so happy today, and when he saw Su Qing looking annoyed, he knew why Liu Hanyu was so happy!
Glancing at Su Qing lightly, Yun Qianmeng carefully asked, "Old Madam, have you had lunch yet?"
"I have used it! However, ever since the eldest daughter left early, the old lady has been thinking about the emerald green bean cake!" As they chatted and laughed, Concubine Liu accompanied Yun Qianmeng into the house. Before stepping into the warm room, Liu Hanyu pulled Yun Qianmeng aside and whispered in her ear, "The old lady wanted to take the daughter of the second master over, but Concubine Su disagreed, so she was punished to stand!"
Yun Qianmeng nodded, indicating that she understood, then took the paper box from Mu Chun's hand and stepped into the warm room!
"Granddaughter meets grandmother!" At this time, the old lady was sitting on the kang, holding an embroidered brown silk handkerchief in her hand and looking at it carefully!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng come in, he put down the silk handkerchief and waved to her, asking her to come closer. After feeling her soft and slightly cold hand, he feigned anger and said, "It's so cold, I'll just ask the servants to buy you something next time! You are the precious eldest daughter of the Xiangfu, you can't hurt yourself!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng's face was filled with emotion. She immediately snuggled into the old lady's arms and said gratefully, "Grandma, what are you talking about? It's a granddaughter's duty to respect you! Besides, it's spring now, and it's not as cold outside as it was in winter! As long as Grandma is happy, I'm willing to do anything!"
As he said that, he presented the still hot emerald green bean cake with both hands. When he opened the paper box, he smelled a refreshing fragrance, and the old lady looked even happier!
"Grandma, please try it. It tastes the same as before!" Yun Qianmeng took the wet towel handed over by the maid and wiped her hands clean. Then she carefully picked up a piece of crystal clear mung bean cake and put it to the old lady's mouth and said softly!
The old lady didn't refuse and took a small bite from Yun Qianmeng's hand, chewing it slowly before swallowing it. Then she said with satisfaction, "It's exactly the same as before. Your aunt originally hired a chef at home to make this! But for some reason, he just couldn't make it taste this good! It's all thanks to Meng'er that Grandma can enjoy this feast today!"
Yun Qianmeng smiled modestly, handed the cake in her hand to Aunt Rui beside the old lady, and personally poured a cup of hot tea for the old lady. She smiled and said, "Grandma, you don't know, it was Aunt Meng'er who reminded me of this! Aunt Meng'er is really thoughtful. She was afraid that Grandma would not be used to living here, so she specifically told her granddaughter!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng did not take credit for herself but instead put all the credit on her daughter-in-law, the old lady became more and more satisfied with her granddaughter!
Yun Qianmeng, however, picked up the silk handkerchief the old lady had just been looking at. She saw a longevity peach embroidered on it. The embroidery was so exquisite that it made one think it was a fresh peach. She smiled and praised, "Who has such great craftsmanship? How could they embroider this longevity peach so realistically?"
The old lady smiled upon hearing this, pointing at Aunt Liu and saying, "It was embroidered by Miss Yunyan! She said she was afraid I didn't have enough, so she rushed it out overnight!"
When Aunt Liu heard Yun Qianmeng suddenly ask about the silk handkerchief, her heart skipped a beat. She nervously clenched the handkerchief in her hands, forced a smile, and quickly explained, "Yesterday, I thought that since the eldest lady is so filial to the old lady, the third lady, as a younger sister, should follow the eldest lady's example. So, I sent the silk handkerchief over just now! But some girls can do it, and they can't compare with the eldest lady!"
Aunt Liu is not wrong to say so!
You know, not everyone can buy Tianfulou’s Emerald Green Bean Cake!
The store owner will look at the badge presented by the buyer. If the buyer is not a legitimate son of a famous family, he will definitely not be able to buy it!
Therefore, there is really no comparison between Yun Yan's silk handkerchief and Yun Qianmeng's pastries!
However, Yun Qianmeng's face didn't show the slightest sign of dissatisfaction. Instead, she carefully examined the handkerchief for a long moment, then praised, "Aunt, you're too modest. My sister's needlework is exquisite, and the colors she uses are appropriate for Grandmother's age. You've put so much thought into it! This kind of filial piety is no different from mine! Besides, seeing how skilled Third Sister is, I'd like to ask her to teach me embroidery!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady's eyes were filled with smiles, and Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief!
At this moment, Nanny Wang's shouting could be heard from the courtyard again. Her slightly hoarse voice was particularly irritating, immediately dampening the old lady's spirits. She said somewhat displeasedly, "If everyone in the mansion was as sensible as Meng'er, I wouldn't have anything to worry about! But they brought back such a jinx who can't even accommodate a child!"
As she spoke, the old lady's breath became unstable, and she slammed her hand that was supporting the table...
Yun Qianmeng quickly put down the handkerchief she had held, and reached out her slender hand to gently stroke the old lady's chest, helping her to breathe. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she said, "When my granddaughter just came in, she saw Aunt Su standing in the courtyard! Grandmother, Aunt Su is pregnant with my father's child after all. It's better to let her go back and rest! If something happens, wouldn't it damage the relationship between you and my father?"
The old lady's calming emotions were stirred up once again after hearing Yun Qianmeng's persuasion. She suddenly sat up straight with a grim expression. "Does that vixen still want to destroy our mother-son relationship? Don't think she can do whatever she wants just because she's pregnant! Do you really think that just because others are afraid of her, I'm afraid of her too? A concubine, do you think she can cause chaos? Even if the child is born, I won't acknowledge it, and don't even think about including it in the family tree!"
The old lady pointed at the window and started scolding. Her loud voice was heard clearly by everyone inside and outside the house. For a moment, Nanny Wang's voice became weaker, and Su Qing's body shook, and his expression became even uglier!
Yun Qianmeng knew without going out that Su Qing must be gritting his teeth in anger at this moment, but for the late Madam Yun, this little pain was probably not even as much as a strand of hair!
Yun Qianmeng glanced at the old lady worriedly, then picked up the teacup, which was no longer too hot, and handed it to her, saying kindly, "Grandma, have some tea to calm down! If you really can't stand Aunt Su, then skip her morning and evening greetings and let her stay in Fenghe Garden! That way, Father won't complain, and he'll think you're considerate of Aunt Su!"
The old lady drank a few sips of tea, calming her anger. Then she said earnestly, "Girl, you are too kind-hearted! She was so disrespectful to me today, and you are so easy to talk to, but you are not letting her take advantage of you? You can't avoid paying respects to me morning and night! When your mother was pregnant with you, she also paid respects to me every day without missing a single day! How can such rules be broken by a concubine? Besides, how can her status be compared with that of the wife? If she hadn't been so unreasonable today, I wouldn't have treated her like this!"
As she spoke, the old lady sighed heavily...
Seeing that the old lady had finally gotten to the point, Yun Qianmeng asked, "I wonder what exactly happened to make Grandma so unhappy?"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng so sensible, the old lady didn't hesitate and went straight to the point, "Meng'er, you three sisters grew up together since childhood, so you're each other's companions and won't feel lonely! But your sister Yi'er has two older brothers and no younger brothers or sisters. Now that her brothers have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she's left alone. It's inevitable that she'll be lonely! Grandma thought it would be great to bring Yiyi over to keep you company. But that evil-hearted person said it's better for girls to be raised by their own parents and refused to allow Yiyi to come! Tell me, how could Grandma not be heartbroken?"
Yun Qianmeng lowered her eyes, listening carefully to every word the old lady said. Her eyelashes, as long as butterfly wings, blocked her gaze, making it impossible for the old lady to figure out her thoughts!
After the old lady finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng raised her beautiful face, a smile glittering in her eyes as bright as stars. The corners of her mouth curled up happily as she said, "Grandma, this is great news! Meng'er also likes Yi Yi very much. Taking her as a companion would be the best! However, Grandma could have just spoken to Father directly about this matter. Why did she have to go through Aunt Su?"
The old lady was delighted when she saw Yun Qianmeng agreed readily!
But when he heard her mention Su Qing again, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said in a deep voice, "She's just thinking about your father doting on her. Her words are much more effective than mine! I asked her to bring this up with your father, but she flatly refused! She's trying to cause unrest in the family. What's the point of keeping such a vicious woman around?"
From then on, Yun Qianmeng understood that the old lady was just taking advantage of the situation to get back at the insults she had suffered from Su Qing before!
However, this method did not make Yun Xuanzhi feel disgusted, so he directly used family affection as a shield!
However, I'm afraid that the old lady had already planned to bring Yun Yiyi to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, it is really difficult to find another man like Chu Feiyang in the Western Chu Kingdom!
Moreover, after the old lady made such a fuss, Yun Xuanzhi must have received the news long ago. I'm afraid he will talk about this matter after the matter is fully understood!
This time, Yun Xuanzhi brought the old lady back just to show his filial piety. If he rejected the old lady's proposal at this moment, it would be extremely unfilial!
Su Qing's actions just now touched Yun Xuanzhi's bottom line. She was afraid that she would be treated coldly by Yun Xuanzhi for a while!
I have to say, old ginger is still wise. The old lady is really a gentleman who never takes too long to take revenge. She has been holding it in for more than ten years and finally received some interest today!
Now that Su Qing has been treated coldly, and there are several young and beautiful new concubines in the mansion, it is easy to imagine what her future life will be like!
Thinking that she could deal with Su Qing without any action herself, Yun Qianmeng felt very happy. She pushed open the lid of the tea and blew away the hot steam inside. She took a sip with peace of mind and waited for the show in the evening!
Sure enough, before dinner time, Yun Xuanzhi walked into Baishun Hall with heavy steps!
However, when he saw Su Qing, who had been standing in the yard for a whole afternoon, looking pale and shaky, his extremely angry eyes flashed with heartache. He immediately walked forward, hugged Su Qing in his arms, and said softly, "How could this happen?"
Su Qing's eyes were full of grievance, and the tears she had been holding back fell on the back of Yun Xuanzhi's hand at the right time. The scorching temperature instantly burned Yun Xuanzhi's heart, and his anger instantly disappeared. Seeing that Su Qing's eyes had rolled back and she seemed to be showing signs of fainting, he immediately picked her up and strode out of Baishun Hall!
The old lady had already heard the servants report that the master had entered the yard. She was about to put on a sad look, but she didn't expect the servants to come in and say that Yun Xuanzhi was carrying Su Qing away. The old lady was so angry that her lips trembled, and she wished she could smash the teacup in front of her to vent her anger!
Yun Qianmeng had already expected Su Qing to do this, so she drank the tea in front of her calmly and calculated the time for Yun Xuanzhi to come back!
The warm room was quiet and eerily gloomy. Aunt Liu looked at the old lady's secretly angry face and Yun Qianmeng's calmness as she stayed out of the matter, and found an excuse to leave. She then breathed a sigh of relief and told the servants to prepare dinner first!
An hour later, it was completely dark, and lanterns were hung in every corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Yun Xuanzhi still hadn't returned. This made the old lady's anger on the verge of exploding!
Seeing this, Yun Qianmeng quickly comforted her, "Grandma, don't be angry! Maybe Aunt Su really has a miscarriage! Why don't we go over and take a look!"
After hearing this, the old lady waved her hands in annoyance and said harshly, "If she had the ability, she would really get sick! You want me to go see her? Dream on!"
Yun Qianmeng saw the old lady's resolute attitude and showed an awkward expression. She sighed slightly, walked to the old lady's side, and gently tapped her shoulders with her two small hands. She analyzed softly, "Grandma, father is worried about his own child, and there's nothing wrong with that! If you don't go, won't father think that all this is intentional? How can the relationship between mother and son be good then? Besides, father is thinking about taking you back home this time out of filial piety. If you don't go, won't it confirm the rumors outside about the discord between mother and son in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Moreover, bringing Yiyi here still requires father's approval!"
Yun Qianmeng said this just to give the old lady a way out. If the mother and son quarreled too much, Su Qing would be the only one who would be proud. Yun Qianmeng would never let Su Qing succeed!
The old lady was also a smart person. She knew that Yun Xuanzhi had not had a title until now because of the word "filial piety". If she hindered her son's future at this moment, she was afraid that it would also affect the careers of her two grandsons!
Thinking of this, even if the old lady didn't want to see Su Qing, she could only nod reluctantly!
Seeing this, Yun Qianmeng understood and ordered Aunt Liu, who was waiting outside the warm room, "Put some of the candied date silver thread porridge and Lianxi ginger cake in there!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's thorough work, the old lady couldn't help but feel suspicious, but Yun Qianmeng asked the maids to hand the food box to Nanny Rui. Finally, a smile appeared on the old lady's face, and the two of them walked towards Fenghe Garden together!
In Fenghe Garden, Yun Xuanzhi looked at Su Qing lying unconscious on the bed and could not help but angrily directed at Nanny Wang, "Are they all dead? My aunt is pregnant, how can you let her stand in the cold wind for an entire afternoon!"
Seeing Yun Xuanzhi's concern for Su Qing, Nanny Wang finally felt relieved. She even ignored the pain in her knees and knelt in front of Yun Xuanzhi again, begging, "Prime Minister, please have mercy on our aunt! Today, the old lady punished our aunt to stand for an entire afternoon because she said something wrong. If this continues, the child in our aunt's belly might..."
As she spoke, Nanny Wang's voice gradually became quieter, as if she was extremely afraid of being overheard...
Yun Xuanzhi saw her stop mid-sentence, and with a wave of anxiety, he shouted, "Who dares to touch her? If anything happens to Qing'er, you will all be buried with her!"
The old lady and Yun Qianmeng had just arrived at the gate of Fenghe Garden when they heard these words. The old lady's face darkened in anger, but Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly and helped her up. Then he said softly, "Father is scolding me right now! Let's just visit the patient!"
Hearing this, the old lady suppressed her unhappiness, the anger in her eyes disappeared, and she walked into the main house with a gentle look...
Yun Xuanzhi wanted to ask more, but when he saw the old lady leading the crowd in, he paused for a moment, quickly walked towards the old lady, and personally helped her into the warm room. "It's so cold, how dare I trouble my mother to come here in person!"
The old lady glanced sharply at Nanny Wang lying on the ground, then she said loudly, "I heard that Aunt Su fainted in my yard! She is pregnant with our Yun family's child, so we must not be careless!"
The old lady started by explaining her concern for Su Qing, especially her love for the unborn child. This made Nanny Wang pause slightly in wiping her tears. She looked up at the old lady in confusion, but saw that she looked calm, completely unlike the fierce look she had in the afternoon!
Yun Xuanzhi was also stunned. He obviously didn't expect that the old lady would come because she cared about Su Qing!
At this time, Nanny Rui had already swiftly asked the maids to bring up the food boxes, and carefully placed the porridge and snacks inside on the small table one by one!
Yun Xuanzhi looked at the steaming porridge and felt a little ashamed for a moment. He even helped the old lady to finish it with all his heart. He said with gratitude, "I've sent a message to my mother! However, you can let Nanny Wang do these things. There will definitely be no shortage of food for my aunt in the mansion! I am ashamed to let my mother prepare these for my aunt!"
Seeing Yun Xuanzhi's face filled with shame, the old lady didn't blame him. She patted his hands and said earnestly, "You are my son, so I won't make things difficult for you! Besides, Aunt Su is pregnant. Do you think you will suffer for me while I watch my grandson suffer?"
Seeing that the old lady was speaking to him from the heart, Yun Xuanzhi nodded vigorously!
But Su Qing, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, really couldn't stand it anymore. He clenched his hands into fists under the quilt, and wanted to lift the quilt and argue loudly with the old lady!
It was obvious that the old lady was deliberately trying to trick me today, and then I was punished to stand for the whole afternoon!
Before guiding Yunxuan, he went to Baishun Hall, and not even a maid in the warm room came out to care about him. But now the old lady was afraid that he would complain, so she shamelessly ran over and pretended to be a good person!
What a good plan. She wants to maintain a good mother-son relationship while finding ways to discredit herself. The old lady is really good at this!
Su Qing felt his teeth chattering with anger at this moment, but since he had already fainted, he could only suppress the uncontrollable anger in his chest. However, his sleeping face could not maintain its original state, and his eyelashes could not help but tremble slightly...
Liu Hanyu was standing behind the old lady at this time. She had no right to interrupt the conversation between the old lady and Yun Xuanzhi, so she focused her attention on Su Qing!
Liu Hanyu had already doubted the authenticity of Su Qing's fainting, and now he really noticed the abnormality on Su Qing's face, and immediately let out a low "Ah"!
Yun Xuanzhi was just talking to the old lady about the love between mother and son when Liu Hanyu interrupted him. He was immediately displeased and whispered, "What's going on? Didn't you see me talking to the old lady?"
Liu Hanyu, on the other hand, looked at Su Qing again, then whispered, "I know I'm wrong, please calm down, Master!"
However, Yun Qianmeng and the old lady had already noticed the look in Liu Hanyu's eyes, and they heard the old lady order, "Madam Liu, go check on Madam Su. If she's fine, we should go back! It's not good to have too many people in the house, so as not to disturb Madam Su's rest!"
Liu Hanyu bowed to Yun Xuanzhi and the old lady, then quietly walked to the bedside. Seeing this, Nanny Wang was about to speak up to remind Su Qing, but then she thought that Su Qing was in a coma at the moment. If she spoke up, wouldn't it mean that Su Qing was lying?
Thinking of this, Nanny Wang felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs - she couldn't express her pain in words. She could only hold her heart in her throat and stare nervously at Liu Hanyu as she gradually approached the bed!
The old lady gave Nanny Rui a look, and Nanny Rui immediately walked in front of Nanny Wang and blocked her sight!
Su Qing felt a malicious aura approaching his bedside. Knowing he couldn't pretend to be asleep any longer, he blinked hard and gradually woke up...
Liu Hanyu was about to make a move when she saw Su Qing "coincidentally" wake up. She felt disappointed, but a smile spread across her face as she said happily, "Auntie Su is fine!"
As he said that, he personally stepped forward, helped Su Qing sit up, and smiled as he announced the good news to Yun Xuanzhi, "Prime Minister, Auntie is awake!"
When Nanny Wang heard Liu Hanyu say this, her heart was half relieved. Only then did she realize that her back was completely wet...
However, Liu Hanyu's words did not make Yun Xuanzhi look happy. Instead, he looked at Su Qing strangely, his heart full of suspicion!
The old lady carefully examined Su Qing's expression, then nodded in relief. She stood up and said, "Since you're awake, eat the porridge on the table. Don't let the baby in your belly suffer! Seeing that you don't look well, you don't have to get up early to greet the baby in the future. Take good care of yourself! Let's go back!"
Yun Xuanzhi listened to the old lady's instructions and thought about Su Qing's timely awakening. He suddenly understood. His face darkened slightly, but he said respectfully to the old lady, "It's all my son's fault! I'm so tired that I ran here!"
Hearing the sincere apology in Yun Xuanzhi's words, the old lady knew that the purpose of her visit had been achieved. She smiled and waved her hand, saying magnanimously, "You are my son, why do you have so many rules! However, Aunt Su is pregnant after all, and it is not convenient for you to stay overnight in Fenghe Garden. I will ask Aunt Liu to arrange for you to take it out. Go to bed early!"
As she spoke, she took Yun Qianmeng's hand and walked out of the warm room. Liu Hanyu then walked up to Yun Xuanzhi and whispered, "Master, I will serve dinner to the old lady and the eldest lady first, and will come back to serve you later!"
Hearing this, Yun Xuanzhi frowned. He asked with concern, "Has the old lady and Meng'er not had dinner yet?"
Liu Hanyu nodded lightly and followed him out of Fenghe Garden!
The warm room fell into silence for a moment. Yun Xuanzhi stood at the door, staring at Su Qing who was leaning against the head of the bed. Her black hair hung down on her shoulders, making her delicate little face look even paler!
But, such a woman actually pretended to faint to gain his sympathy!
Yet, his elderly mother came to visit a concubine on an empty stomach, which made Yun Xuanzhi's heart ache. He said coldly, "The rules cannot be abolished! Otherwise, the family rules will be meaningless! From now on, Concubine Su must sincerely pay her respects to the old lady every morning and evening, and never again deceive her!"
After saying that, Yun Xuanzhi walked out of Fenghe Garden with disappointment in his eyes!
Su Qing didn't expect that the old lady would see through her self-torture scheme that she had been planning all afternoon. In a fit of rage, she grabbed the quilt and threw it to the ground. Frightened, Nanny Wang rushed forward and took a clean cup to cover her with it, comforting her, "Madam, please take care of yourself. If you get sick from anger now, wouldn't that satisfy those people? Besides, the second young lady is still waiting for you in the ancestral hall!"
These words calmed Su Qing down immediately. However, Yun Xuanzhi did not deliver the goods just now. Instead, he spoke to her in an extremely calm and indifferent manner, which made Su Qing feel uneasy for a moment!
After all, they are a couple who have slept in the same bed for many years, and Su Qing knows Yun Xuanzhi's personality very well!
When he gets angry, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will become alienated from others!
But if he speaks coldly, it only means that he distrusts people!
The reason why Su Qing has been able to get whatever he wants in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years is that he has figured out Yun Xuanzhi's personality!
However, the old lady's move actually made Yun Xuanzhi become cold towards her, which was unexpected for Su Qing.
