Chapter 250 Brother, are you mean to me?
Wu'an Marquis Mansion
After He Zhiyan had packed up, he and Liu Liu slipped out through the back door as per the old rules. However, just as he stepped out of his yard, he saw Ruyue, the maidservant of Marquis Wu'an's wife, standing at the door. He Zhiyan was startled.
"Where are you going, young lady?" Ruyue asked expressionlessly.
He Zhiyan and Liu Liu looked at each other and said, "I'll walk around."
Ruyue rolled her eyes secretly, bowed and said, "Madam invites you."
He Zhiyan choked and became anxious. She was called over at this time and she didn't know when she would be released. She had already made an appointment with Xiangxiang.
"I'm not feeling well. I'll go pay my respects to my mother in the evening." He Zhiyan said.
Ruyue glanced at He Zhiyan and said, "I am just a messenger. Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. If you have anything to say, please talk to Madam yourself." As she spoke, she turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Liu Liu glared at Ruyue angrily.
A person who takes advantage of others' power.
Who is making things difficult for whom? If you don't know, you would think this slave girl is the lady.
When Ruyue saw Liuliu glaring at her, she immediately glared back even more fiercely.
You little bitch, how dare you glare at her?
Wait until she finds a chance to deal with you.
Liu Liu felt threatened by Ruyue's eyes and immediately shrank behind He Zhiyan like a deflated ball, angry but not daring to say anything.
He Zhiyan looked at Ruyue's strong appearance and sighed in her heart. She realized that her stepmother had seen through her intention to leave the house. Now calling her over was a clear indication that she was not allowed to leave the house.
"Okay." He Zhiyan said, and then went to the main courtyard.
Before I even stepped into the house, I heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. It was not only the laughter of Lady Wu'an Marquis and her daughter, but also the hearty laughter of men.
He Zhiyan felt a pang of sadness in her heart as she listened to the happy laughter of the whole family.
Since her mother passed away, she has been like an outsider. This home is both familiar and strange to her.
Taking a deep breath, He Zhiyan walked in.
In the flower hall, He Yu and the wife of Marquis Wu'an sat in the main seats, with He Zhiyi and He Zhimin, a brother and sister, sitting on either side of them.
"Dad, Mother." He Zhiyan knelt down and bowed.
He Yu nodded in response and gave her a loving smile. This smile made He Zhiyan smile and was stunned for a moment.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an just responded sullenly, squinting her eyes with disdain.
He Zhiyi stood up, bowed to He Zhiyan, and called out, "Big sister."
"Second brother is back?" He Zhiyan smiled faintly.
He Zhiyi smiled gently and said, "Well, I have been away for several months. The general specially allowed me to return to Beijing to visit my relatives and stay for a few days. I am afraid I will not be able to come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the next time I can return to Beijing will probably be at the end of the year." Now he is just a small leader of soldiers, so it is easier for him to come back.
Seeing that his own brother was so polite to He Zhiyan, He Zhimin couldn't help but feel jealous and snorted coldly.
He Zhiyi looked at her with dissatisfaction when he heard this: "Third sister, you must not be rude to the eldest sister."
He had only been in the He family for a short time, but he had gotten to know this younger sister a little better. She was not very capable, but rather cunning, selfish, narrow-minded and stingy, not at all as gentle and dignified as her elder sister.
He Zhiyi felt that even though he grew up in the countryside, he couldn't stand He Zhimin's behavior and was very disgusted with her, but after all, she was his own sister, and he couldn't bear to say anything too harsh.
He Zhimin looked at He Zhiyi aggrievedly: "Brother, are you mean to me?"
This is her own brother, and he is actually helping He Zhiyan, an outsider?
He Zhimin just felt that his heart was about to die.
Facing his sister's accusations, He Zhiyi frowned slightly.
When Lady Wu'an Hou saw her son like this, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she glared at He Zhimin and said, "Minmin, how can you talk to your brother like that?"
As he said this, he glared at He Zhiyan secretly.
The damn girl actually tried to sow discord between her son and daughter.
He Zhiyan felt the glare from the wife of Marquis Wu'an and curled her lips speechlessly.
She was stabbed even when she was lying down.
When He Zhimin saw that her mother was also mean to her, she stomped her feet in anger and said, "You all bully me." Then she ran away.
He Zhiyi glanced at He Zhiyan awkwardly, then clasped his fists towards He Yu and Madam Wu'an Hou and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I..."
Having said this, he paused.
He Zhiyi was also speechless. He didn't know where he had done wrong.
It was just that his own sister was angry, and it was because of what he said. As a brother, he should admit his mistake.
Madam Wu'an was so distressed that she said hurriedly, "Silly child, what's the use of an apology? As a brother, you should scold your sister for doing something wrong."
"Yes, yes." He Yu nodded.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an already felt guilty towards her son, so she couldn't bear to see him say sorry. Her eyes suddenly turned red. "Don't mind it. She's a girl, so it's inevitable that she's a little spoiled."
Her son had suffered for more than ten years and finally came back. The feeling of strangeness after so many years could not be eliminated in a day or two. She was extremely careful and cautious in treating her son, for fear that she would do something wrong and say something harsh, which would make her son dislike her.
This is her own flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy, and a legitimate son. He should have been raised well by her side with fine clothes and delicious food.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an hated the person who kidnapped He Zhiyi, and she was even more afraid that her son would hate her for losing him.
He Zhiyi sensed the uneasiness and anxiety of Marquis Wu'an's wife, and smiled softly: "Mother, she is my sister, I won't blame her."
He Yu smiled and said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Yi'er is back again, our family is finally reunited, let's have some fun today."
He Zhiyan listened absentmindedly, glancing outside from time to time.
The fun was theirs, and she didn't want to join in at all.
He Zhiyi suddenly asked: "Sister, does it seem like you have something urgent to do?"
As soon as he asked, He Yu and the wife of Marquis Wu'an looked at her immediately, and He Zhiyan's pretty face froze slightly.
"I didn't..." She suddenly stopped talking halfway.
My second brother is back today, and my father and mother are very happy. Maybe they will allow her to go out, even for half a day.
Thinking about it, she said tentatively: "Dad, Miss Lu San and I have an appointment to go to Chongchuan River to watch the dragon boat race today. The time is almost here..."
Miss Lu San?
He Yuhu's body shook violently.
Lu Youping's daughter who is loved by the Queen?
Then he recalled the search for people in Xiao Mansion a while ago and the Eighth Prince's attitude towards Lu Youping, and He Yu was suddenly startled again.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an couldn't stand He Zhiyan going out to socialize. Her daughter hadn't even made friends with Song Zhenzhen yet, so why did He Zhiyan keep making plans with Lu Xiang to play together?
We have an appointment to watch the dragon boat race today?
In that case, why not suggest taking Minmin along.
Humph, she just wants to accumulate connections for herself so that she can surpass Minmin in the future.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was about to refuse, but He Yu spoke first: "Since the appointment has been made, let's go quickly."
