Chapter 54 Born with a Phoenix Fate
In her last life, before she died, she occasionally woke up from her coma and coincidentally heard a conversation between An Ruxue and her father.
An Ruxue said that she was jealous of her being born with a Phoenix Fate and was born to be a noble person.
But An Ruxue only mentioned this at the time. An Yunxi was already unable to support herself at the time, and she didn't hear what An Ruxue said after that.
An Ruxue felt cold all over, as if the secret deep in her heart had been exposed.
But she couldn't say it, even if she died!
"I didn't understand what sister meant by the Phoenix Fate."
An Ruxue lowered her head and clenched her teeth tightly.
Knowing that the other party couldn't tell her so easily, a cold color flashed across An Yunxi's eyes.
She carefully looked at An Ruxue's face, as if thinking about how to get her to speak.
An Ruxue's scalp was tingling from being stared at, but her eyes were extremely determined.
"Even if you beat me to death, I can't answer."
An Yunxi was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke.
"Mom, throw her out."
Du Linglan waved her hand.
Several guards in the mansion immediately dragged An Ruxue up from the ground, and dragged the old lady out of the yard.
The door of the general's mansion was opened, and several figures fell to the ground. An Ruxue, who was seriously injured, was only wearing a plain white lingerie and lying on the street, unable to get up.
She looked terrified and screamed.
As a woman who has not yet left the house, appearing on the street dressed like this is not much different from streaking.
There were many pedestrians on the road. After seeing the movement at the gate of the general's mansion, they all stopped and stood to watch.
"Who are those people?"
Along with the old lady and An Ruxue, several of the old lady's maids were thrown out.
These people have been serving old lady An for so many years. They are completely her confidants. Du Linglan naturally cannot accept them.
She is no longer Mrs. An. She doesn't want any dirty things from the An family.
Old lady An fell to the ground, and she was seeing stars in pain.
She was helped up by two maids, and she got up and knocked on the door of the general's mansion.
"Let me in, let me in, Du Linglan, you chased your mother-in-law out, you are unfilial, you are unfilial!"
She heard the people around her pointing and talking.
"Isn't that the old lady of the An family? How come she was thrown out directly?"
"And the woman lying on the ground seems to be the second young lady of the An family."
"After being thrown out of the house dressed like that, I'm afraid the second young lady of the An family will be too ashamed to face people in the future."
"She must have offended the mistress of the house. Madam An is kind and treats the servants in the house well. Such a good-tempered person was provoked like this. I guess these two grandparents must have done something bad!" "
You're right, look at the old lady still knocking on the door. She is a decent person on weekdays, but now she is kicked out. It's so embarrassing."
More and more people spoke, and they talked at once.
Madam An's face flushed. Seeing so many people looking at her, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She was not so shameless as to scatter and roll on the ground. Instead, she immediately hunched over, wiped her tears and said in a trembling voice: "No matter what, I am your elder. Du Linglan, please open the door. Your behavior today has made the whole city laugh at our General's Mansion!"
Unfortunately, the door of the General's Mansion was still tightly closed, and it was unmoved.
More and more people gathered around, and Madam An shouted until her mouth was dry, but no one came out. An Ruxue was already seriously injured. Seeing so many eyes staring at her, she trembled and curled up into a ball, hiding her face.
Several maids looked confused, and when they saw the old lady become like this, they looked at each other.
"Madam, there are more and more people here, let's hide first."
If the indenture was not still in the hands of Madam An, they would definitely run away now.
Madam An was so angry that her face turned blue and she breathed quickly: "Come on, help me go to the government office in Kyoto, I want to sue Mrs. Du for being unfilial!"
Several maids had no choice but to say: "The government office is over there, we don't have a carriage, we can only walk there, Madam, and the second young lady is still lying on the ground, she will get sick."
Madam An said: "Help the young lady up quickly!"
"Yes"
One of the maids carried An Ruxue on her back and was about to take Madam Du to the government office when she saw the gate of the general's mansion, which had been closed, opened.
A figure appeared from inside.
When several maids saw the person coming, their eyes lit up immediately.
Because this person was the third son of the general's mansion, An Yunhe.
"Third Young Master, Third Young Master!"
A nanny almost staggered and came to An Yunhe carrying An Ruxue on her back.
When An Ruxue saw the gentle and elegant man in front of her, her eyes instantly turned red.
The third brother was elegant, kind-hearted, and spoke softly. He never looked down on her, a concubine's daughter.
An Ruxue sobbed and lay behind the nanny and asked for help.
"Brother, Ruxue didn't know what she did wrong, so she was driven out of the house. Please help Xue'er!"
The handsome man's expression did not change, and his look was extremely kind. He spoke in the same voice as always, without any aggression, giving people a very comfortable and easy-going feeling.
"Ruxue, you seduced my sister's fiancé and made my mother angry. I can't do anything about it, but you are also my sister. I can help you and your grandmother find a place to live temporarily."
He saw the increasingly disappointed look in An Ruxue's eyes and comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, after my mother calms down, I will definitely plead for you, or wait for my father's injury to heal, and I will definitely send someone to take you back."
His words were very reasonable,
even though An Ruxue felt that it was a little inappropriate.
When the bystanders heard this, they all showed expressions of watching a good show. The crowd of spectators could not help but get excited.
"So that's what happened. It was this concubine who was so bold that she seduced the legitimate sister's fiancé!"
"No wonder the engagement between the General's Mansion and the Crown Prince was cancelled not long ago. It turns out there is such an inside story!"
"Didn't everyone say that the eldest daughter of the An family ran away from the marriage?"
"That was a rumor from a long time ago. Now this is the truth. Look, the concubine didn't deny it."
Everyone has a gossipy heart.
An Yunhe's casual words pointed out the reason why An Ruxue was thrown out of the house.
It made An Ruxue lose her reputation.
An Ruxue didn't realize this yet, and now she only regarded An Yunhe as a lifeline.
An Yunhe had been so kind to her before, he would not want her to get into trouble.
"Thank you, brother. I'll leave Ruxue to you."
Old Madam An also came over with a staggering step: "Yunhe, let grandma in. Grandma wants to see your father!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
"Why not?" Old Madam An glared at him.
An Yunhe said calmly: "Dad is still recovering, and mother doesn't allow anyone to disturb him at will."
"I'm your grandmother. I have to get other people's approval to see my own son?"
Seeing the old lady's eyes red and shouting loudly at the door, An Yunhe said: "You just brought people to beat Yunxi, which scared my mother. She was afraid that you would hurt people when you go back."
The onlookers around listened to this conversation with great interest.
In just a few words, they already understood the cause and effect.
No wonder these two were thrown out, it turned out that the old lady wanted to beat the legitimate daughter!
An Yunhe sighed, his eyes full of helplessness: "Madam Liu intended to poison my mother, and my father still protected her, so it was reasonable for my mother to be angry. Grandmother, you just have to endure it outside for a while. If anything happens, Yunhe will take care of you two for the time being."
Good guys!
The people who were whispering around disappeared in an instant.
The scene was very quiet for a while.
The concubine poisoned the mistress, and General An favored the concubine and killed his wife. This news is really explosive!
Old Madam An felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
But she was not in the mood to care about what the bystanders thought.
"Well, Yunhe, you send grandma to the yamen first, and I will report to the authorities!"
An Yunhe walked over and patted Old Madam An on the shoulder.
"Grandma, it's a waste of effort for you to do this. After all, my mother and my father signed a divorce agreement yesterday and have nothing to do with each other now. Even if you go, I'm afraid you won't get any benefit. It will also make the whole capital laugh at you and my father. I'll take you back to your residence to rest first."
An Yunhe made a gesture of invitation.
Soon someone pulled the carriage over.
The onlookers dispersed a little, leaving a path for entry and exit.
Seeing the carriage, An Ruxue seemed to have grabbed a lifeline and urged someone to send her over.
Old Madam An thought about An Yunhe's words, and could only bear it helplessly and got on the carriage first.
An Yunhe quietly raised the corners of his lips and followed him in.
"Grandma, Ruxue, come with me."
An Yunxi and her mother were talking in the room when they heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The maid at the door bowed her head and reported: "Just now, the old lady and the second young lady were taken away by the third young master, and the people watching outside the door also dispersed."
Mrs. Du was slightly stunned: "Yunhe that child..."
An Yunxi lowered her eyes slightly and thought for a moment.
"Third brother should not go out of his way to help them."
Mrs. Du shook her head: "Your third brother is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. After all, he has been in love with An Ruxue for more than ten years. The old lady is also his grandmother. I am afraid that he can't bear to do this. Mother just doesn't want to cause a rift between us mother and son, and between you brothers and sisters because of this matter."
An Yunxi didn't think so.
She raised the corner of her lips thoughtfully: "Mother, you are worried. Third brother must be on our side. Why would he help outsiders?"
Her eyes rolled, and she thought of something in an instant.
"I think there is a reason why Third Brother did this. We threw the man directly at the door and were seen by so many people. People who don't know the truth will definitely say that you are not filial. But if Third Brother comes forward to explain, the words can be turned around. Mother also knows in the capital that sometimes spit can drown people."
Mrs. Du smiled, and her expression was a little more relaxed.
"If that's the case, then it's good. Mother just wants you all to be safe now. Drive all these scoundrels out of the house. As for your father, wait until your eldest brother and second brother come back, and ask him to leave the house."
An Yunxi hugged her mother directly. She
hugged her tightly.
She felt that her mother's back was a little thinner than hers.
"Don't worry, mother, your daughter will protect you in the future."
Mrs. Du felt relieved and reached out to hug An Yunxi back.
At this moment, An Yunhe brought Madam An and An Ruxue to the gate of a large mansion.
When the two got off the car, they saw the beautiful scenery and spacious courtyard of the mansion. There were servants coming out to greet them, and they all showed joy.
An Ruxue even asked, "Brother, is this your mansion?"
An Yunhe was silent for a moment: "Not really, but you and grandma can stay here temporarily."
An Ruxue was completely relieved.
The environment here is not worse than the An family.
If you can stay here to recuperate, it will definitely be better than staying at home and dealing with the mother and daughter who suddenly went crazy every day.
"Thank you, brother, grandma, let's go in."
An Ruxue couldn't wait to urge the nanny who was carrying her.
The nanny didn't dare to say a word. Even though she was beaten a few times, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, carrying An Ruxue on her back into the gate of the mansion.
An Yunhe walked in front. After a servant opened the gate and welcomed them in, he led the way in front and took them all the way to the main courtyard at the back.
The distance was not short.
It can be seen how big this mansion is.
The green trees on both sides are like shade, and the flowers and plants are pleasing to the eye.
Just when the expression on An Ruxue's face was completely relaxed, she saw a figure sitting in the main courtyard with the door open not far away.
The distance was already very close .
The man's appearance was clearly reflected in An Ruxue's eyes. She suddenly felt cold all over, as if she was thrown into an ice cellar.
"Run, take me away, I don't want to stay here, go!"
She struggled desperately on the back of the nanny.
The nanny couldn't hold on anymore, and her hands loosened, letting An Ruxue fall directly to the ground on her back.
An Ruxue fell and was all over the place.
But she didn't care about the pain now. She
started to crawl with her hands and feet .
Her struggling to survive made people feel very pitiful.
An Yunhe still had a gentle and elegant smile on his face. He stopped in front of An Ruxue's crawling direction and blocked her way.
"Ruxue, where are you going?"
His voice was cold and pleasant, considerate and gentle, like a brother's infinite love for his sister.
"This is where you are staying recently. Don't you like it?"
An Ruxue raised her head and looked at An Yunhe in disbelief.
An emotion called fear slowly permeated from her bones.
At this moment, the man who heard the noise outside the courtyard strode out. He was dressed in a black robe, and his eyes were dark blue and deep, like an ice pond with no bottom.
An Ruxue said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, why is the Regent here?"
An Yunhe leaned over and saluted Ling Fengxun.
"Prince, I have sent the person over. I should go back and report to Xier."
When he read the word Xier, his tone was particularly gentle.
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly: "Thank you."
