Chapter 206 God's Will
"When I found you, you were lying in your swaddling clothes, which were already buried deep in the snow."
"You only showed your little face, which was blue and purple from the cold, and you were struggling to make sounds. Your breathing was getting shallower and shallower, and your clothes were frozen into icicles. If you were a step later, even a great immortal wouldn't be able to save you."
"At that time, there was a nanny next to you who had long been frozen to death. Maybe she was your wet nurse."
"She had no money on her. I don't know if she had no money in the first place or if someone stole it."
"Mother took you back and searched through all your clothes. She found a pocket on the inside of your swaddling clothes, and the jade pendant was hidden inside it. We asked the servant to bury the nanny and took you back to the Xu family. After asking around, we didn't hear of anyone losing a child. Half a year later, we named you Shi Yun, thinking of the hardships you had in your birth. We just hope that things will turn around in the future."
Xu Yiting's smile deepened. At that time, the happiest thing for the brothers was that they had a new sister in the family.
Knowing that his sister couldn't find her family, he was happy and excited.
"It's strange to say, my father originally had great ambitions, but his career was not going well and he was always suppressed."
"After you came to our family, your father's luck suddenly seemed to have changed, and he had a very successful career in the court. In just six years, he was promoted to the highest rank, and was chosen by the late emperor to be the Taifu to educate the crown prince." At that time, Emperor Xuanping was still the crown prince.
"At that time, my father seemed to be assisted by God, and everything our family did went extremely smoothly." It was so smooth that it was outrageous.
Originally, the Xu family was just a clean family in the court, with only a reputation but no real power.
But since Yunniang's arrival, the Xu family has been at its peak, and in just six years, their fortunes have changed dramatically, as if with divine help.
Xu's eyes were filled with tears, and she enjoyed everything the Xu family gave her with peace of mind.
But she never thought that she was not the daughter of the Xu family.
Xu stood up and knelt in front of her eldest brother and his wife.
"Yunniang, what are you doing? That's why we don't want to tell you. We're afraid that you'll have a psychological burden!" The sister-in-law looked anxious and hurriedly helped her up.
"Besides, your elder brother is not lying. When I was engaged to your elder brother, the Xu family was not yet prosperous. Since you were born, the Xu family has been rising step by step."
"You are not allowed to feel any psychological burden because of this. Maybe, it is because Yunniang has such a noble fate that the Xu family will be promoted and become rich." The eldest sister-in-law smiled and pulled her.
When she came in, Xu Shiyun was still a child, and she raised her as a child.
"Your swaddling clothes and clothes are all kept at the Xu family. If you need them, I will send someone to deliver them."
"We have also done some secret research over the years. The swaddling clothes you are wearing seem to be from the South."
Xu nodded: "Last night, that person came from the Southern Kingdom's royal family. This jade pendant is a legacy of the Southern Kingdom's royal family."
"Keep this jade pendant away and don't show it to anyone. We don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse, so you don't have to be afraid. Your family will definitely protect you." Xu Yiting is now just thankful that Yunniang has a good fate.
Although she divorced Lu Yuanze, her children are very successful.
Especially Chao Chao, who earned her an imperial edict and made the emperor value her very much. Even if the Southern Kingdom really came to look for someone, the emperor would never give up.
Xu Yiting frowned slightly, not knowing why.
I always feel that God is playing a huge game of chess.
It seems that the root of everything lies with Chao Chao?
A flash of inspiration came to his mind, but he did not grasp it or think about it deeply.
"You, please don't feel any psychological burden."
"If you become estranged from us, it will make us sad. We kept it a secret from you because we just want you to live a life without worries and burdens." Xu Yiting said seriously. Not only him, but the whole family thought so.
Xu bowed deeply to her eldest brother.
Thinking about it now, it must have been so disheartening that she had a love affair, broke up with her family, and married Lu Yuanze.
Xu tried hard to hold back her tears and said, "I want to go home and kowtow to my parents."
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, which is the day when married daughters return to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.
Xu Yiting saw that her face was pale but she was in very good spirits, so he did not stop her.
Rong Che didn't dare to leave even a step, and drove them to Xu's house himself.
Lu Chaochao sat in her mother's arms: "Mom, don't cry, Chaochao will give you a kiss..." Lu Chaochao's little hands were warm, and she was busy wiping away her mother's tears.
Xu forced a smile. Fortunately, there was Chao Chao, otherwise...
The Xu family adopted her, but it ended up causing the entire Xu family to be executed.
As soon as the carriage stopped, everyone in the Xu family was waiting at the door.
Even the old lady was standing in the cold wind with a cane, and no one could stop her.
"Oh, you damn thing, how dare you harm my mother Yunniang. Don't be afraid... Mother is here, let's see who dares to bully you!" The old lady poked the ground hard with her crutch, gritting her teeth in hatred.
Xu's eyes became hot and she knelt in the snow.
"Dad, Mom, it's Yunniang who is unfilial."
"If you give birth to a child but don't raise him, you can repay it by cutting off your fingers. If you give birth to a child and raise him, you can repay it by cutting off your head. But if you don't give birth to a child and raise him, it will be impossible to repay you forever. Yunniang will never be able to repay your kindness in this life, or in eternity." She kowtowed solemnly to the two elders of the Xu family.
"Who asked you to pay it back!" The old tutor's eyes bulged.
"Hurry up and get up. Your legs will be frozen. Your mother will be so worried and cry." The old tutor glared at her, but her eyes were full of concern that she could not hide.
Xu helped her parents into the house.
"As long as you live well, I will be at peace in this life. Although you are not my biological child, I love you more than those others."
"I wanted to keep it a secret from you my whole life, so that you could live a life without worries, but that damn thing actually found you!" The old lady started cursing again.
When Yunniang was brought home, she didn't even have the strength to suck, so the old lady personally held the bowl and fed her little by little.
The three sons all slept with their wet nurse.
Only Yunniang was taken care of by her personally, eating and sleeping together and raising her.
A lot of effort has been put in.
"You were so thin and small, you could die at any time. Who wouldn't feel sad when seeing you?"
"The only thing that makes me sad in this life is that you refuse to come back to see me." Because of this, the old lady fell seriously ill, suffered from heart disease, and was bedridden.
"It's also our fault. We pitied your suffering when you were young and raised you to be too innocent. You were deceived by Lu Yuanze."
Xu started to cry again.
Deep guilt almost drowned her.
"Don't be fooled by your father's fierce appearance. When he cries, he cries louder than anyone else."
"When you got married, he cried at home for three days and asked for three days' leave from attending court."
"Later, when you didn't come home, he missed you again. After leaving court, he didn't even change out of his official uniform and secretly lay outside the door of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion to peek at you."
The old lady's ears turned red, and she waved her hands in anger: "Why are you saying that? I was just taking a walk outside the Marquis's mansion. Who peeked in?"
Xu burst into laughter.
"Thank you, Daddy, for giving Yunniang a home." She murmured in a low voice.
The old tutor touched her head and said, "It was God who sent you to the Xu family. It is our blessing to be able to raise you. You will always be the daughter of the Xu family. You must not let your imagination run wild."
"If you do something stupid again, I'm going to break your legs this time."
Rong Che said sadly, "She hit me, I'll take the hit for her."
The old tutor was puffing his beard and staring, this love-brained man has changed his person?
"How could the Duke of Zhenguo give birth to such a fool like you!"
Rong Che grinned and laughed.
