"Summer Solstice, has anything unusual happened with Miss Biao lately?"
In the front yard, Xia Zhi hung her head tremblingly. When the Yun family patriarch saw this, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes. "When your mother was seriously ill, she came to the Yun family for help. It was the Yun family that gave you a job."
Xia Zhi immediately knelt down, "I will never forget the kindness that the master has shown me."
"Miss Biao has not been aware of what has been happening outside recently."
"Oh?" The Yun family patriarch twirled the jade thumb ring on his thumb. "You haven't told Miss Biao yet?"
“Last time, the head of the family specifically told me not to tell Miss Yun what happened outside, and I have always kept the head of the family’s instructions in mind.” Xia Zhi’s performance made the head of the Yun family show a satisfied expression.
"I understand, you may leave."
After leaving the house, Xia Zhi breathed a huge sigh of relief, but...
Actually, Miss Cousin is acting a little strange...
Ever since that day when Miss Cousin angered Auntie Zhu and returned to Minghua Pavilion, she has been staring at the marigolds that Miss Two gave her.
When she asked her, Miss Biao said she was just staring blankly at those few potted plants.
Even... Miss Biao had a headache once, but she wouldn't let her call a doctor, saying she was frightened by her great-aunt and Aunt Zhu.
Thinking about all this, Xia Zhi's palms became sweaty, and she gradually stopped walking.
Should she go back and report these circumstances to the head of the family?
But yesterday Mother said that she was a servant girl who served Miss Biao, and Miss Biao was so unlikable. If something happened to Miss Biao, no one would be willing to let her serve them.
She could only take on the lowest-level chores like sweeping.
A few breaths later, Xia Zhi strode towards the direction of Minghua Water Pavilion. Well, these things shouldn't be too important, right?
Tea Flower Pavilion.
Jiang Yu, dressed in a pink ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress), lay on a deck chair by the lake, looking as beautiful as a painting.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xia Zhi's breathing became much lighter, and she quietly retreated. Little did she know that at that moment, a crystal tear slid down Jiang Yu's cheek.
She remembered a scene.
"The Jiang family was small, and since the children were military men, the women in the family would sew marigolds into the inside of their children's sleeves from a young age, hoping for their safety and well-being."
The image flashed through Jiang Yu's mind: she was gently stroking a fine needle in her hair, speaking these words softly.
Therefore, she is a member of the Jiang family, not the Yun family...
And she has a child, and the child's appearance is so clearly visible in the footage...
Amidst the shimmering light, a black mole slowly appeared at the corner of Jiang Yu's right eye, making her look both alluring and innocent.
Jiang Yu felt a sudden emptiness in her chest, and a burning pain began to emanate from the spot where the mole had appeared.
At the same time.
Gu Qingyan in the capital and Gu Qingfeng in Qingcheng both clutched their chests at the same time.
"emperor."
When Yingzhi saw Gu Qingyan suddenly stop and bend over, clutching his chest, he was so frightened that he immediately shouted, "Call the imperial physician! Quickly call the imperial physician!"
"I...I'm fine..." Gu Qingyan gasped for breath. "Go and summon the Emperor Emeritus and Marquis Dingyuan to the palace immediately."
Gu Qingyan was trembling with fear. How could this be? How could he possibly feel this way?
Gu Lin appeared before Gu Qingyan in less than half an incense stick's time. "What's wrong? Is your chest hurting?"
"Father, I can't feel anything anymore."
Gu Qingyan gripped Gu Lin's sleeves tightly with both hands, "I can't feel the Empress Dowager's presence anymore."
Gu Lin's eyes narrowed sharply upon hearing this, and Jiang He, who had rushed over just in time to hear it, also froze in place.
“I could sense my mother’s presence before.” Gu Qingyan looked extremely broken. “Perhaps it’s the mother-son bond, but when I think of my mother, my feelings are different.”
"But just now my heart suddenly felt empty, and when I thought of my mother again, I no longer had that strange feeling."
"Will something happen to Mother?"
"How could that be!" Gu Lin smirked. "Don't scare yourself. We're almost there for your mother. In a few days, I'll disguise myself and go to Luoming. We're sure we'll find her."
But these words still did not comfort Gu Qingyan.
He himself knows best the changes in his feelings before and after.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng from Qingcheng pushed his wheelchair to the front of the Buddhist hall, his hands also covering his chest.
"Mother Empress? Mother Empress?" she called out again and again.
"Yao'er has left. I am still clinging to life in this world just to see you one more time." Gu Qingfeng lowered his head helplessly. "But why can't I suddenly feel your presence anymore?"
......
Jiang Yu's infamy spread throughout Luoming, and every household knew that the Yun family had a shameless cousin.
Perhaps it's human nature to gossip, but even the head of the Yun family couldn't control the spread of these rumors.
The only thing to do was to strictly forbid the servants of the Yun family from mentioning these matters in front of Jiang Yu.
Kneel down!
Yun Wei knelt in the ancestral hall, her face full of resentment, making the Yun family patriarch's teeth itch with envy.
"Didn't I tell you not to spread news about Yun Ming?" The Yun family head glared at Yun Wei. "It seems I've spoiled you all these years!"
"You've spoiled me?" Yunwei seemed to have heard a fairy tale. "It was clearly my mother who met and fell in love with you first, but you made my mother a concubine in order to marry my stepmother. Is that what you call spoiling me?"
"Haven't I done enough for you all these years?"
"Yunwei, this time you've ruined not only my business, but the Yun family's business!"
"Father..." Seeing the Yun family patriarch's face turn ashen with anger, Yun Wei finally came to her senses. "How could Yun Ming have ruined the Yun family's affairs?"
"madness!"
After leaving these words, the head of the Yun family turned and left.
"Have you heard? The Yun family's cousin is being raised in the Minghua Water Pavilion." Everyone in the teahouse was talking about this cousin. "The Minghua Water Pavilion is the most beautiful courtyard in the Yun family. If it weren't for its remote location, I'm afraid the head of the family would have been willing to live there back then."
"Tch, how do you know the patriarch doesn't want to stay there now? If he likes it, he'll go even if it's a thousand miles away."
"Hahahaha, I really want to know how incredibly beautiful this young lady is. Isn't she supposed to be older than the eldest aunt of the Yun family...?"
"I've never heard of the Yun family having such a cousin before."
As everyone chatted amongst themselves, Yun Qing, who was disguised, stood to the side, her hand holding a teacup revealing prominent veins. How could such public opinion be quelled?
Wei'er has really made a huge mess!
