Because I was worried about Aunt Mei's health and the journey was bumpy, I packed my luggage and other belongings in the morning, had lunch, and then set off on my way.
In this way, she only needs to sleep for one night, and when she wakes up, she will be gone.
Ruan Yuyi asked about the time and went to the main entrance to see her off.
My aunt has lived in the Cheng Mansion for most of her life, so she only packed up two boxes and a piano. Counting the maids and maids, it only took two carriages to pack.
Cheng Zhu had been at odds with her for many years, and the annoying person in her eyes was finally leaving. According to her temperament, she should have come out and made some sarcastic remarks to feel comfortable, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Aunt Mei pulled Ruan Yuyi aside to chat.
She took out the jade pendant that was originally used to protect the fetus, stuffed it into the palm of Ruan Yuyi's hand, and said, "Thanks to the protection of this thing, nothing serious happened to me. Now I don't need it anymore. I got along with my cousin, so I will return it."
I’ll just keep this in my thoughts with you.”
She frowned and shook her head, trying to push the jade pendant back to her, "If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. If it is really useful, why not protect my aunt to the end?"
She really did not deserve her aunt's gratitude.
If it is true that this jade pendant is filled with good luck and has lost its spirit, then I hope it can play a role in my aunt's journey and protect her safety for the rest of her life.
Aunt Mei originally wanted to settle the friendship between the two of them, so she insisted on giving it to her. Seeing that she refused to accept it, she had to change her excuses.
"It's not convenient for me to take Sister Ying away during this trip. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. My cousin will keep it temporarily and put it into the dowry when Sister Ying gets married."
When Ruan Yuyi saw what she said, she no longer refused.
At this time, a maid came forward and said, my aunt has agreed, and the master is waiting over there.
Aunt Mei waved her hand nonchalantly, sent the person away, and said casually, "It will be soon."
"Auntie, what are your plans for leaving here?" She didn't believe that Mr. Cheng would really leave her aside because he cared about her. She probably had other plans.
The smile on Aunt Mei's face was indifferent, "Anyway, it's just idle days here, not much to do. The master has promised me that he will come to my place at least once or twice a month. When I recover, he will
I'll take it back.
"What I have to worry about now is the place to live. Changyu's place has been vacant all year round, and there is no guarantee that the servants who guard it will not rent the house out without permission. If the servants in the past did not take care of it well, they will have to wait until I get there before making any plans.
"
Ruan Yuyi has a temperament that can be remembered for a long time if others treat her well.
She did speculate with Aunt Mei, and said warmly, "Auntie, you should be careful on everything on the way. When you get there, if there is any inconvenience, remember to exchange letters."
After several rounds of conversation, Aunt Mei bowed and spoke a few words to Mr. Cheng.
It was probably Mr. Cheng who was opening his mouth, but she just nodded and responded first.
After everything was arranged, the two carriages slowly drove out of the Cheng Mansion without attracting the attention of anyone outside the Cheng Mansion. The silence in front of the empty door was as if it had never existed.
Before leaving, I saw Sister Ying wiping her tears with a handkerchief, crying softly, her chest rising and falling, as if she was going to be out of breath.
The maid standing by her side was busy trying to calm her down, fearing that something might happen to this sickly young lady.
Aunt Mei opened a corner of the curtain on the window and looked towards Ruan Yuyi from a distance. Because she was far away, she couldn't tell her expression clearly. She guessed that it was the one with curved lips.
She sighed softly in her heart, fearing that this farewell would never happen again.
Most of the people gathered at the main entrance of Cheng Mansion dispersed and went back to their own courtyards. She just picked up her feet and walked back.
It was raining heavily outside again. Ruan Yuyi put down the half-tied bandage in her hand and looked out the window.
In the morning, we saw that the sky was gray and did not look like it would be sunny. Only two hours later, it started to rain. It was difficult to travel on a rainy day, and I didn’t know what was going on with Aunt Mei.
Mu Ling came in with tea and told her about Aunt Mei's miscarriage.
Zhao Rong suddenly suffered from abdominal pain just now, so he called the doctor for a consultation. It turned out that the eldest princess also used cold and cool things. Fortunately, she was already three months old.
Serious problem.
Two pregnant people in the house had accidents one after another. This is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly.
The doctor asked about Zhao Rong's recent diet, but he found out that Zhao Rong had eaten crab for lunch. This food promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, and its nature is cold and cool. It is not something that a pregnant woman can eat.
If Zhao Rong doesn't know, doesn't anyone around him know? How could he be so careless?
He was about to scold him, but due to the presence of the princess, he swallowed his words back.
She left a recipe for Zhao Rong and was about to leave when she was stopped by Bai He in the yard. She looked panicked and said, "Is this crab really too hard to eat?" But His Highness was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish it, so he even gave it to the yard next door.
Went some.
The doctor's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that it was obvious what happened to Aunt Mei.
After all, he was from the Cheng family, so after much consideration, he still reported the matter to the master. The servants were bored and liked to gossip, so the matter spread like wildfire and reached Mu Ling's ears.
After listening, Ruan Yuyi looked at the Luozi in his hand in ecstasy.
It turned out that it was not Cheng Zhu's handiwork, but Zhaorong's unintentional act, which caused Aunt Mei to have a miscarriage and was even sent to Changyu, fearing that Zhaorong's happy event would be ruined.
Even though she didn't mean to harm anyone, after all, the matter was at this point, and not an innocent mistake could offset Aunt Mei's pain.
But she is the eldest princess, and who in the whole family dares to say that she is wrong?
When Mr. Cheng learned about it, he didn't say anything. He just regarded the matter as a new matter and never mentioned it again.
Ruan Yuyi secretly lamented that Aunt Mei had suffered such an unnecessary disaster in vain.
Mu Ling also felt that Aunt Mei had suffered unjustly, and said in an unsatisfied tone, "It's a good thing that she is the eldest princess. If she were an ordinary servant in the mansion, she would have been beaten to death with a stick."
But such is the way of the world, in the eyes of these royal relatives and nobles, concubines are objects that can be given to each other; servants are nothing more than grass, their lives are despised and not worthy of pity.
That's why she looks forward to a free life and doesn't want to be constrained by these intrigues.
The flowers fell from the rain and spread all over the courtyard.
She withdrew her gaze and did not comment on the matter.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "I don't know what happened to the osmanthus wine I brewed last year. Go and get it for me. If it's ready, I can bring some to the prince later."
Her voice was too gentle and gentle, as if it was going to dissipate with the wind and rain.
Mu Ling bowed and responded.
Not long after, he brought back a jar of wine, scooped it into a porcelain cup, and handed it to Ruan Yuyi.
The fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus has been sealed for a year, and the scent of wine comes to your nose.
She lowered her eyes and took a sip. It was sweet but not rich enough.
It really needs to be brewed for half a month, but she didn't wait for so long. Fortunately, the proportions were right, the temperature was right, and the brewing taste was so good that it can be said to be a masterpiece.
