They can't even be buried in the ancestral tomb.
The servants were not afraid that Zhu Xianyue would get sick, but they were afraid that Zhu Xianyue would die on the way back.
By then, they will be the culprits who killed the young lady.
Even if you have a hundred mouths, you still can’t explain it.
The servants went back in disgrace.
After everyone had left, Zhu Xianyue knelt directly in front of Niu Cuifen.
"Mammy! Yue'er was ignorant before and caused you a lot of injustice. From now on, Yue'er will serve you well and take care of you until the end of your life!"
"You are Yue'er's grandmother!"
Then she told her, "Yue'er was just pretending to be sick so that she wouldn't go back with them easily. Ma'am, don't worry."
Niu Cuifen's mood was in turmoil because of Zhu Xianyue's words.
His lips parted several times, but no words came out.
A myriad of emotions choked in his throat, and the only thing he could say in the end was, "Good boy...you've grown up..."
Yue'er has the ability to protect herself.
It was worth it for her to raise her to this age with all her efforts.
Zhu Xianyue helped Niu Cuifen into the house to rest.
…
Not far away.
Li Chenglan, the emperor of the Li Dynasty who was on a secret tour, saw all of this.
He just came here to inspect the people's sentiments, but he didn't expect to see such a good show.
interesting.
This concubine's daughter of Duke Dingguo's Mansion... Zhu Xianyue, right?
Life was hard, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be depressed.
It made his eyes light up.
Moreover, there are too many filthy things in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
He was also interested in taking a look.
Li Chenglan, who originally wanted to return to the palace today, changed his mind.
He thought that his peeping behavior was done secretly, but he didn't know that the blood jade bracelet had already told Zhu Xianyue.
So, Zhu Xianyue slept well that night.
…
Three days later, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion sent someone to pick up Zhu Xianyue again.
The people sent this time were Zhu Xianyue's brother and mother——
Zhu Junmao, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, and his concubine Wen Ruier.
There are three children in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. The eldest son Zhu Junmao was born to the concubine Wen Ruier, and the eldest daughter Zhu Xianyue was also born to the concubine Wen Ruier; only the second daughter Zhu Yumeng is a legitimate daughter, born to the mistress Wen Yingyi.
Because Wen Yingyi was injured when giving birth to Zhu Yumeng and had difficulty getting pregnant, she registered her eldest son Zhu Junmao under her own name.
In terms of blood relationship, Zhu Xianyue should be the closest to them.
These two people, one is her biological brother and the other is her biological mother.
However, judging from the way they sneered at the environment and the clothes Zhu Xianyue and Niu Cuifen wore after entering the courtyard, this relationship was completely useless.
Especially his brother Zhu Junmao, when he saw her, his first reaction was to raise his hand and slap her.
Zhu Xianyue dodged nimbly—
Zhu Junmao slapped the door frame, and the pain made him squeal like a pig.
Zhu Xianyue also laughed out loud without any hesitation.
"Zhu Junmao, I haven't seen you for many years. How come you turned into a pig?"
"As the saying goes, the longer you spend with your loved one, the more you'll look alike. This is what we call a husband and wife look alike..."
"So, Zhu Junmao, my good brother, you found me a pig sister-in-law?"
Zhu Xianyue was eloquent and had the upper hand.
Where is the exhausted look from yesterday?
Zhu Junmao and Wen Ruier instantly understood that Zhu Xianyue was just pretending.
Zhu Junmao was furious and wanted to hit Zhu Xianyue again.
Zhu Xianyue didn't hide this time. She raised her face and looked like she was ready to be slaughtered.
