Since the Yao family returned to Beijing and moved here, they have not renovated the mansion. Whether it is the gate or the interior, it is basically the same as when the Feng family lived here.
The door was now closed. The Yao family did not have the habit of opening the door on weekdays. The woman stood at the door and looked in quietly, with memories in her eyes, but her emotions changed many times, with nostalgia, yearning, emotion, but more of it was hatred.
The maidservant beside her didn't understand what was going on. She looked at her mistress in confusion and asked in a low voice, "It's just a mansion. What are you looking at, madam? I heard that this Yao Mansion is the maternal grandfather's home of Princess Yu, and the people living in it are her grandfather and uncles. We'd better not stay here for too long." After saying that, she gently pulled the woman's sleeve, wanting to remind her to leave quickly.
But the woman didn't move at all, and even struggled against the maid's hand with some annoyance, her eyes still fixed on the door, murmuring, "My grandparents' house!" The hatred in her eyes faded, and the look of nostalgia became stronger.
She subconsciously took a few steps forward, apparently wanting to touch the door, but the maid beside her was frightened and quickly pulled her back, whispering, "Madam, what's wrong? What are you doing?"
The woman was startled, realizing that she had lost her composure. She paused, waved her hand and said, "Nothing. I just heard that this place is related to Princess Yu, so I wanted to find out what's going on."
"This is not something Madam should explore." The maid reminded her, "Before we left, the general told us that Madam can go shopping and buy whatever she likes, but she must not do anything too conspicuous. Just like now, knowing that the Yao Mansion is in front of us, Madam should not come to such a sensitive place."
"Are you my maidservant, or are you sent by the general to look after me?" The woman glanced at the people around her coldly, her eyes unkind, "I am the general's wife, why do I have to look at the face of a maidservant like you when I go out and do things?"
"That's not what I meant." The maid quickly lowered her head, "I know I was wrong."
"It's good that you admit your mistake." The woman said nothing more and moved her gaze back to the gate of Yao's mansion. Unfortunately, the gate was closed. She always wanted to take another look inside, but she didn't have the chance.
They stood there for a long time, almost as long as an incense stick. Finally, the woman spoke again, as if she was talking to herself, or to someone else, but no one could understand who she was talking to. (You kept your promise to me, I am very grateful. You killed Shen, Feng Chenyu and Feng Zihao, and even pulled down the left prime minister from his high position. I never expected that you are very capable. This mansion used to be home to a group of people I hated the most. Now they are all dead, and the living have all dispersed. I am really happy. The process must have been very difficult, right? Unfortunately, I only heard it from hearsay and asked around, and I didn't see it with my own eyes. It's a pity."
As she spoke, she walked back and forth on the street in front of the mansion. The maid didn't dare to follow her and just stood there staring blankly. The woman walked very absorbedly, and she would stop from time to time to rub her feet on the ground, and then her face would sometimes smile, and sometimes show disgust. When she finally stopped again, she started talking strangely to herself: "This brick is missing a corner, and no one has replaced it in these years. It seems that the people living here are either nostalgic or too lazy. When Zirui was a child, he was tripped by the corner of the brick. Feng Jinyuan wanted to repair it, but what did the old lady say at the time? She said that it was just a brick outside the door, not inside the mansion, so why repair it? Just pay more attention in the future and don't run outside again."
"Zi Rui... I heard that the child is studying in Yunlu Academy in Xiaozhou, and is a disciple of Principal Ye Shan. That's great. He will have a bright future when he grows up." A smile appeared on her face. Although she was not good-looking, when she smiled, people could still look at her sideways. Even the maid who was watching from afar felt that their lady could be charming sometimes.
"Last night, the Sixth Princess died." Hatred appeared on the woman's face again. "She died a good death, and died at the hands of that man. The general didn't have to do it. It was really refreshing. Li Yue, ever since you captured Xiangrong, I wanted to strangle you to death. Unfortunately, I can't, because I still have to rely on Zong Sui to survive, because my identity has been tied to Zong Sui for many years. I can't kill you with my own hands, and I don't want to watch my husband kill you, that would be disadvantageous to us. But you are asking for trouble. That person is cruel, but he is still good to his sister Xiangrong. How dare you capture someone she cares about, isn't that courting death?"
When she said this, she clenched her fists tightly together, "The Feng family really doesn't know how to raise children. What kind of person has Feng Fendai become? When I left, the child was just seven years old, and her domineering personality had already emerged. After so many years, she has become even more... "
After saying that, he turned back to face the door, his eyes were cold and his voice was low. "The Feng family, such a distant memory, Feng Jinyuan, Feng Jinyuan, do you know that your official career is not so short? If you hadn't sent us three mothers and daughters away, and hadn't killed us all in Xiping Village so that we couldn't survive, I wouldn't have lost my life in that life, and she wouldn't have returned to this mansion in my place. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, you can't imagine it, right? I thought that death is death, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to start over again, but I was too weak after all. Even if I started over again, I still couldn't immediately avenge my past life. Fortunately, there is her... She is very good, because if it were me, I wouldn't be as outstanding as her. It's just..." A wave of pain came from her heart, forcing her to suppress the ups and downs of her emotions. "It's just that she didn't even let my mother go. I have to avenge this!"
As they were talking, suddenly, the gate of Yao Mansion was opened from the inside, and a woman came out accompanied by a maid. The doorman behind her was still saying, "Madam, do you really not need to prepare a carriage? The sun is very hot today. If you really don't want to take a carriage, you can ask the maid to hold an oil-paper umbrella."
The person who came out was the eldest lady, Madam Xu. She was amused by the doorman's words. She turned around and said, "It's just sunny, not raining. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to hold an umbrella?"
The doorman also had something to say: "Many nobles in the capital are like this."
"I'm not that delicate." Xu said, "When I was in Huangzhou, the midday sun was much hotter than that in Kyoto, but I didn't get burned much. I won't be so delicate after returning to Beijing. I just want to take a walk today, you don't have to worry." After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the mansion. As soon as she walked down the stairs, she saw a woman standing in the street, staring at her in a daze.
She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed like a young woman, and didn't look outstanding, but the look she gave her made her see a hint of intimacy. There seemed to be endless expectation in her eyes, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to talk to her, but she couldn't say anything after moving several times.
Xu's heart trembled slightly, and she actually felt a little warmed when facing this woman, as if she was a very familiar person who she hadn't seen for many years, and she was very tempted to go forward and get close to her. But no matter how she recalled, she couldn't remember where she had seen this person. She was obviously a stranger, but why did she feel so familiar?
The woman stared at Xu for a while, then suddenly came to her senses and realized her mistake. She hurriedly leaned over to Xu, then turned around and hurriedly left. But she heard Xu calling from behind: "Wait a minute." She turned around and saw Xu approaching her, bending down in front of her, reaching out to lift the hem of her skirt, then standing up and saying to her kindly: "Your skirt is folded up, I'll help you pull it down, otherwise you'll be laughed at."
The woman was startled, and then she looked down at the hem of her skirt, which had been adjusted. Her nose suddenly felt sore. She covered her mouth, and leaned towards Xu again, and then she didn't stay any longer, and she dragged the maid away as if she was escaping.
Xu looked at her background and suddenly felt pity for her. She thought that the woman must have a lot of stories and must have a miserable life. She thought, this is why she felt sympathy. She asked her maid, "Do you know who that woman was?"
The maid shook her head, "I have never seen him before. He looks ordinary, so he is probably not from a wealthy family. He is probably passing by here and wants to see the Yao Mansion for his own eyes." People often stop to sigh when passing by the Yao Mansion, and the Yao family is used to it. 8☆8☆(.*)8☆.＄.
Xu did not ask any more questions and went shopping with the maid. The "escaped" woman stopped at a corner and quietly watched Xu's back until she could no longer see her. Then she said to the maid beside her lightly: "Let's go back."
The maid didn't dare to ask more questions, even though she had too many doubts in her heart, she still resisted asking. But she was also planning in her heart that she must find a chance to tell the general after returning that the lady's trip was really strange, as if she was very familiar with the Yao Mansion. Although she didn't hear everything she said, she still vaguely heard two or three sentences, which made her feel a little uneasy, fearing that her lady was a spy from the Dashun side.
But thinking about it again, it was not likely. Although she was originally someone close to the general, she also knew that this lady was the legitimate daughter of the old general Zong Sui. It was for this reason that the general married such an ordinary-looking lady and vowed never to take a concubine.
Thinking of this, she felt a little aggrieved. She was originally the general's concubine. Although her status was low, she had thought that she could at least be a concubine, or even a maid. But she didn't expect that the old general of Zong Sui was very domineering. Once the general took a concubine, he would take back all the military power in his hands. The general was controlled by the old general, so she could only follow this ugly lady and be a maid.
How could the old general's daughter be a spy? It's too far-fetched.
In the imperial palace, Emperor Tianwu was sitting in the square in front of Zhaohe Hall, playing with a puppy he had gotten from somewhere.
Not long after, Zhang Yuan hurried back from the direction of the front court, bowed slightly in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty, there was news from the morning court today that the eighth prince... passed away last night."
