The woman who called herself Yue'er looked to be in her twenties. Her hair was already tied up like a woman's, but she looked like a chaste woman. I guess it was because her husband had passed away less than three years ago.
From this point of view, this person should be the daughter of the Jiangzhou prefect who is widowed and living in her mother's home.
As far as Xue Zhiyi knew just now, Jiangzhou prefect Chai Xun and Jiangzhou grain transport governor Tang Lin were brothers-in-law, and their wives were sisters.
The mother and daughter of the Chai family are here today. One reason is that they took the opportunity to visit the two adults while they were discussing official business. The other reason is that the Chai Mansion is close to the river, and the Chai family is worried about being affected by the flood, so they have temporarily stayed at the Tang family for the past few days.
While she was thinking, Madam Tang snorted coldly and stood up, holding the child in her arms. "Since we have invited guests into the house, there is no reason to dismiss them at will. However, I am not strong enough to withstand the bad luck brought by Miss Xue, so I will not accompany you."
After saying this, he handed the child to the wet nurse and was about to leave with Mrs. Chai and Miss Chai.
Faced with such harsh words, Xue Zhiyi had no time to take it to heart. At this moment, her eyes were attracted by the little child in the wet nurse's arms.
The child was born with a round and white body, and the expression between his eyebrows was 80% similar to Xue Ruoyu... It must be the child that Xue Ruoyu failed to give birth to in her previous life.
After the child was born, Xue Zhiyi asked Huo Wuyou to help find out that the child was the only grandson of the Tang family, and the Tang family named him Tang Zhining.
But just as they passed by Xue Zhiyi, the wet nurse lost her footing, perhaps because the road was slippery due to the rain or something else, and was about to fall to the ground with Zhining.
Xue Zhiyi was startled and reached out to take it. Only with this support could the wet nurse hold Zhining and stand steadily.
At this moment, the child was not crying because of being frightened. A pair of pink little hands were grabbing Xue Zhiyi's sleeves, and his dark eyes were staring at Xue Zhiyi curiously.
"Don't touch him!"
Suddenly, Xue Zhiyi felt someone bump into him, and Tang Zhining was quickly carried away.
Xue Zhiyi was stunned. He saw a woman. It was still a familiar face, but she was obviously thinner and not as rosy as he remembered.
At this moment, her eyes were full of vigilance, and she held Tang Zhining carefully in her arms, as if she was afraid that Xue Zhiyi would eat the child alive.
"Ruoyu?" Seeing this, Madam Tang only supported Xue Ruoyu with a look of concern: "It's very humid outside, what are you doing out here?"
Xue Zhiyi didn't expect to see Xue Ruoyu in this situation again.
The familiar face in front of her showed the most unfamiliar expression, but Xue Zhiyi understood that revenge came at a price, and losing something that did not belong to her in the first place was something she had to expect.
What's more, everyone has their own standpoint. If Xue Ruoyu wants to hate her, she has no fault to blame.
Seeing Xue Ruoyu's red eyes and staring at Xue Zhiyi, Madam Tang became more worried: "Ruoyu, go back to your room quickly. You are weak. The doctor said that you have been hurt by excessive grief after giving birth. You can't get angry anymore."
Although Mrs. Tang was speaking to Xue Ruoyu, she glanced at Xue Zhiyi, obviously speaking to her.
Xue Zhiyi felt upset. Even though he had saved Xue Ruoyu's life in this life, it was still impossible to be completely safe.
Mrs. Chai, who had been harsh in her words just now, became kind in front of Xue Ruoyu: "Are you still not feeling well? Are you taking the medicine according to the prescription?"
Xue Ruoyu then slowly withdrew her gaze and gently shook the frightened and crying Tang Zhining in her arms.
"Thank you, mother and aunt, for your concern. Ruoyu has been taking her medicine diligently. I wanted to get up and walk around today, but I didn't want to lose my composure in front of mother and aunt. However, Zhining is my only blood relative now, and I dare not let him do anything wrong."
Her voice was a little weak, with dull gasps, which was the sound of extreme deficiency of qi and blood.
Mrs. Tang looked distressed: "Good boy, why are you saying all this? It's windy here, take Zhining back quickly."
…
Xue Zhiyi was still a little dazed when he returned to his residence, and that distant and defensive look was still in front of him.
However, when she was blocked outside the Tang Mansion with her clothes damp, it was Xue Ruoyu who sent someone to pass on the message, allowing her to enter.
Why couldn't Xue Ruoyu be as unkind and unkind to her as Fu Ling was? If so, she wouldn't feel so guilty now.
At night.
When he was not in the palace, Huo Wuyou became more and more brazen. He entered her bedroom without any reservation. Seeing that she looked sad, he asked her, "Are you feeling down?"
Xue Zhiyi said nothing, just nodded.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her lips, and a sweet taste spread in her mouth.
Under the candlelight, Huo Wuyou chuckled softly, her eyes seemed to contain boundless spring beauty, as bright as if a warm yellow light was sprinkled on her face.
"I heard that people get really upset when they're hungry. I saw someone selling leaf cakes in the market, so I bought some to try. How's it going?"
The taste in the mouth is soft and has a hint of sweetness. This Ye'er cake is not a precious cake, but it is not easy to eat something like this when Jiangzhou is suffering from a disaster. Huo Wuyou said it easily, but it seems that he had run around for a while to buy it.
Xue Zhiyi didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he ate another piece.
Seeing her smile, Huo Wuyou tilted his head and a hint of joy appeared between his brows.
"Did you go out just now?" Xue Zhiyi asked him.
"Yes." He said, "I went to meet the people in Jiangzhou's secret service."
During the three or four years since Huo Yan's accident, Huo Wuyou carefully arranged the people left behind by Huo Yan in various places in Dayong to facilitate his intelligence collection.
"But what's the news?"
"Of course." Huo Wuyou said, moving closer, his voice almost whispering, "Some of the assassins who came to assassinate us today escaped during the chaos. I asked Yan Gui to follow them."
