Just say they're gone when the time comes; there's no need for all that complicated stuff.
The maids had served Mo Yan for many years, so they understood what she meant. "Yes, Madam."
They probably don't have a second young lady in their household anymore.
When Granny Lin returned to report, she was given a chicken wing. She ate the rest of the roast chicken... she really couldn't eat anymore.
Xiao Yufei's eyes lit up when she saw the chicken wings. In the past, she would never have even glanced at them, but now... she couldn't help it. She was hungry, extremely hungry, the kind of hungry that felt like she could devour a whole steamed bun in one bite.
"Grandma, you're so kind. Did you bring this for me?"
Grandma Lin glanced at it and gave it to her, saying, "Here, have some."
Xiao Yufei took it and started gnawing on it, as if she hadn't eaten for ten or fifteen days.
"Thank you, Grandma. Did you deliver the letter for me?"
"No," Grandma Lin said truthfully, simply stating, "No."
Why?
"Because that Anhan has already arrived, saying he wants to propose marriage, and the person he's proposing to is our eldest daughter." At this point, Granny Lin's expression turned disdainful. "He doesn't even know who he is. What right does he have to ask for our young lady's hand in marriage? Besides, our second young lady is seriously ill, and our eldest young lady is very devoted to her sisters; she wouldn't be discussing marriage at this time."
Every word Granny Lin said was to tell Xiao Yufei about the current situation at home. Sure enough, when she heard that the second young lady was seriously ill, she became very excited.
“I am the second young lady, I am the second young lady! I am not seriously ill, I am not seriously ill! That’s just Grandmother talking nonsense.”
Xiao Yufei suddenly felt very scared. She was afraid that everyone would believe her and that she would be stuck in this place for the rest of her life.
"How could you possibly be the Second Miss? The Second Miss is such a precious person, how could she be in this place? You are just a servant who has done something wrong and has been placed here to reflect on your actions."
"Grandma, I feel sorry for you, that's why I'm giving you some food. Our second young lady has already been sent to Bailong Temple for treatment."
Grandma Lin looked at her with exceptional sincerity, and every word she spoke was earnest, which made Xiao Yufei even more frightened. She cried and denied it at the same time.
"No, no, that's not true at all, that's not true at all. I am the second young lady, I am the second young lady."
Looking at her innocent appearance, Granny Lin shook her head helplessly, "You little girl, have you gone mad?"
"No, no, how could I be insane? I'm not insane, everything I'm saying is true, Grandma, please believe me, I really am the Second Miss. If you believe me, you can go and ask the people outside, ask them if I am the Second Miss."
Xiao Yufei desperately wanted to convince Granny Lin that she was the second young lady, otherwise what would she do? How could she tell everyone that she was the second young lady?
My grandmother was too cruel, really too cruel. How could she do this? How could she go to such lengths? How could she be so heartless?
"Girl, stop fooling around. You should rest here. If you need my help in the future, you can call me again, but of course, it will cost you money."
"Stop saying you're the second young lady, it's pathetic."
When Granny Lin left, she gave her a sympathetic look, as if she were a pitiful person who had lost her memory.
"I didn't, I didn't lie."
Grandma Lin shook her head and went out.
"Wait, wait, did you deliver the letter for me?"
"Didn't I tell you? No, that person was kicked out a long time ago because he was too arrogant."
Xiao Yufei suddenly collapsed to the ground, completely at a loss for what to do.
"Can't you help me get out? Don't worry, as long as I can get out, I will definitely not treat you badly. I will always remember your kindness to me, and you will be able to rise to great heights with me in the future."
Xiao Yufei was still unwilling to give up and hoped that Granny Lin could help her send the letter out. As long as the letter could be sent out, she would have a chance to leave this place, go back to find her father, and leave with the young prince.
“Girl, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the person you’re talking about has already been locked up. Oh, he’s in the village next door.”
Xiao Yufei: "???"
Xiao Yufei's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could this be? That's the young prince! Who would dare to arrest the young prince?"
"Young lady, who told you that this is the young prince? This is just the second son of Prince An."
Xiao Yufei: "???"
She had never heard of him before. All she knew was that he was the young prince, the prince's son. What else could he be but the young prince?
Grandma Lin: "..." How could this second young lady be so stupid? How did she survive until now?
"The title of 'young prince' is also incorrect. Only one son of a prince can become the heir apparent, and can become the prince upon the prince's death. However, Prince An is a prince of a different surname, so it is uncertain whether his son will become a prince or something else in the future..."
If the son is the emperor's own son, there's no problem; he'll definitely become a prince. But if the son is of a different surname, it's not necessarily true.
"Impossible..." Xiao Yufei couldn't believe it. What had she been after all?
"Grandma, you've always lived in this little village, of course you wouldn't know." She didn't believe what the old woman was saying.
"If you don't believe me, that's fine. I only said this because I think you look kind."
Grandma Lin turned and left. Xiao Yufei sat on the ground, looking at the empty room, feeling endless sorrow.
This place is really awful. She wants to leave, she really wants to leave.
...
Xu Youran's father arrived.
When Mo Yan received this news, she was quite surprised, because General Xu was known for his high-handedness and had never come before.
When the two families got married, they held a wedding ceremony right away, and Mo Yan only found out when she got back. In other words, Xu Wei never considered Mo Yan as his in-law. Now that he's here, he's swaggering in and has started making a scene as soon as he gets to the main hall.
"Your old lady, make her come out. I heard she doesn't agree to the marriage I arranged for Yudie?"
The servants naturally dared not say anything; they all knew very well that they were servants of the Xiao family.
The butler ordered tea to be served, and Xu Wei frowned. "Where is your matriarch? I've arrived, why hasn't she come over yet?"
Mo Yan appeared at that moment, "The General is looking for me?"
Xu Wei was a little stunned when he saw Mo Yan. This...
Back when he was just a lowly soldier, he had seen Princess Moyan. Dressed in red and wielding a long flute, she could annihilate her enemies without leaving a trace.
"This humble official greets Your Highness. May I ask why Your Highness is here?"
Xu Wei never considered the possibility that Mo Yan was Xiao Minghui's mother, and he had never heard Xiao Minghui mention it. Xiao Minghui said that his mother was just an ordinary person.
"Didn't you say you were coming to see me? What did you just say? You said you were engaged to someone?"
Mo Yan walked over and sat down, glancing at the butler. "Butler, go and arrange the meal. Also, invite Madam over and tell her that her father has arrived."
