Su Fan said, "I don't care about those empty names. Anyway, I have been pure for many years, and many things are not so important anymore. Where is Mian'er?"
The most important thing to her now is her daughter.
The housekeeper immediately bent down and said, "The concubine said that the Sixth Miss had just returned, and we had to choose an auspicious day to go to the Golden Cicada Temple to wash away the bad luck and purify ourselves and regain our blessings. So we went out with the Prime Minister early in the morning..."
"Why did Miao Fengxian choose to go out on the day when Madam comes back? I think she did it on purpose." Lihua has not been able to purify her mind in the past few years outside. Instead, she has become more unrestrained and has a better temper.
Su Fan scolded, "Lihua, don't be rude to my wife. If others hear you calling her by her name like that, you'll be blamed."
The mansion is different from the outside world, there are many rules.
Although Lihua closed her mouth, her expression was obviously still uncontrollable.
Madam is just too soft-hearted.
"By the way, where is Ze'er? Is he still in the army?" Su Fan suddenly asked again.
In fact, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, a brother named Yunze and a sister named Yunmian.
Thinking about my original decision, it was also very unfair to Ze'er.
But back then, with the accusations from the entire mansion, Yun Sheng's indifference, and Miao Fengxian's anticipation, I couldn't help myself.
That year, Ze'er was only about ten years old.
Fortunately, in recent years, Ze'er would ride to Tianxiang Temple every year to accompany her to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival. The relationship between the two people has eased a lot.
"Second Young Master, you have rarely come back in recent years and have been living in the military camp." said the butler.
Su Fan's eyes flashed with guilt and heartache. She felt sorry for Yunze.
She had never expected that his gentle and optimistic demeanor in front of her over the years had only made her think that he was doing well. Had he not returned to the Xiangfu Mansion in many years?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. It seemed that Yun Shengzhi and others had returned.
The housekeeper grovelled and said, "Madam, I have to go out and do some work. The Prime Minister should be back home."
"Mian'er." Su Fan was also impatient, his eyes lit up.
She looked down at herself, tidied herself hastily for a while fearing that something might be wrong, and then she took Lihua out.
At the main gate of the palace stood Prime Minister Yun Shengzhi, a rare sight of him in such good spirits. He followed his concubine Miao Fengxian along the way, saying, "Fengxian, did you hear what the old abbot said? Mian'er is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Phoenix Girl. It's exactly the same as what we've heard for over a decade."
At this time, Miao Fengxian was still holding the hand of a young girl, smiling brightly: "Mian'er, after all the hardships, happiness has finally come. You have suffered so much in vain, and today I must make up for it."
The girl, dressed in a purple gown, had a stunningly beautiful face and skin as smooth as cream. The expression between her eyebrows bore a striking resemblance to Yun Shengzhi. She lowered her head and smiled faintly, "Mian'er's suffering is nothing. It's just a pity that she missed out on spending time with her father over the years and wasn't able to show her filial piety."
Yun Shengzhi was relieved to hear Yun Mian was so sensible, "Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Yun Xian followed behind with a bad expression on her face.
It’s fine that her father is partial to her, but she doesn’t understand why her mother would side with Yun Mian, that bitch?
How could a country girl who has been wandering around for many years and doesn't even know etiquette be worthy of being the sixth lady of the prime minister's mansion?
"Mian'er..." At this moment, Su Fan hurried over. She confirmed Yun Mian's identity among the crowd, and then looked at the girl in the purple dress with a trembling voice: "Mian'er, is it really you?"
She couldn't stop her tears from falling. She quickly walked over and carefully held Yun Mian's hand: "Let mother see, Mian'er, how have you been doing outside these years? Have you suffered any hardships..."
Yun Mian looked at the strange woman in front of her. Seeing that she was dressed simply, she looked hesitantly at Miao Fengxian beside her.
Miao Fengxian introduced Su Fan as if she were her own mother: "This is your mother." However, there was a flash of astonishment and viciousness in the depths of her eyes. It was surprising that Su Fan could even make it home.
When Yun Shengzhi looked at Su Fan, his brows were filled with a hint of disgust. "You've finally decided to return home? This is how a daughter of the dignified Su family was brought up. You've been away from your husband's family for so many years. You really do me a disgrace!"
Su Fan ignored him and looked at Yun Mian, recalling her childhood face over and over again, but the memory was too distant to recall and she was already in tears.
Over the years, she missed too much of her daughter's growing up years.
Yun Mian immediately hugged Su Fan and said sweetly, "Mom, Mian'er misses you so much."
Lihua, who was standing behind, couldn't help but wipe away her tears when she saw the mother and daughter recognizing each other. The lady had finally waited for the young lady.
"Enough, we are at the gate. Pay attention to your demeanor as the mistress of the house and don't embarrass the prime minister's residence. If you have anything to say, go inside." Yun Shengzhi interrupted Su Fan impatiently. He married Su Fan only because of the power of the Su family.
Now that he has become the prime minister, he is naturally no longer afraid of the Su family.
Because Su Fan left back then, the Su family gave him many benefits out of guilt. Now that his position is stable, he no longer needs the support of the Su family, so Su Fan is dispensable in his eyes.
Su Fan finally let go of Yun Mian, regaining his gentle and calm demeanor. He wiped away his tears and said, "Mian'er, let's go inside and talk."
"Okay." Yun Mian nodded obediently and supported Su Fan.
However, a hint of impatience appeared in the depths of her eyes.
Why is it that this woman takes so long to acknowledge her relatives, and I have to cry along with her?
However, for the sake of future prosperity and wealth, Su Shi is also facing a big challenge. She must be completely convinced of her identity to be safe.
In the hall.
Yun Shengzhi sat on the main seat, looked at Su Fan below and said, "Since you are back, I have two things to announce."
Seeing that no one spoke, Yun Shengzhi continued, "First, for the past few years, Miao has taken care of all the family affairs. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Although Su has returned home, she is not familiar with the current situation. Therefore, the power of the family is still handed over to Miao. Su, do you have any objections?"
"This is the master's decision. What can Su Fan do?" Su Fan looked at him with a sneer.
She is now pure-hearted and no longer asks for anything. She just wants her daughter to be safe and happy.
Miao Fengxian, already beaming with joy, stood up and bowed, "Then I would like to thank you, Master, for your kindness and my sister for your generosity in giving way to me."
She looked in the direction of Su Fan, how could she not be proud?
Even if Su Fan comes back, he will no longer be in the spotlight.
"Mother..." Yun Mian beside her pretended to comfort Su Fan, "Don't be sad, mother. Mian'er will be with you."
"Don't be sad, mother. The power to be the head of the family has long been meaningless to me." Su Fan was just sad that Yun Shengzhi had been married to her for many years, but now he was so eager to make his position clear for a concubine.
