The love story between his parents was indeed poignant, but it was not a good thing for him as a child at that time. Overnight, his parents fell apart and he became an orphan, which would be difficult for anyone else.
will be happy.
When Feng Yunxian said this, his tone was calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, not himself.
Looking back, he saw that Mu Xuanyi also had a sad look on his face, so he changed the subject: "Since we are out to play, let's not talk about those sad things. How are you doing with your search for ancient books?"
Mu Xuanyi sighed and shook her head. There were very few people selling ancient books in this street, not to mention that the content she was looking for was very off-beat. After shopping around, there was nothing that agreed with her request.
"It's okay, I asked Young Master Dong to pay more attention. The capital is so big, you will always find it." Feng Yunxian touched her head and comforted her.
After leaving here, Mu Xuanyi was still listless. Even if she knew that she was going to the palace in the next two days, she didn't have much energy.
Feng Yunxian didn't trust her and sent her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He watched her jump up the high courtyard wall and then sit there.
What's going on? He felt nervous. Could it be that he couldn't get down?
Seeing that Mu Xuanyi had not moved for a long time, Feng Yunxian was about to go up to take a look when he heard Mu Xuanyi's voice.
"The scenery here is great, what's wrong if I just sit there for a while? You guys are making such a fuss, how can I run away?" After Mu Xuanyi finished speaking, she hugged Xiaolong Bao a little tighter.
"I know, I know, I'm so annoyed." She reluctantly talked to the people in the yard, and finally jumped down.
I don't know what Aunt Feng was thinking, but she actually found someone to force open her door. If she hadn't come back just in time, someone would probably have taken advantage of her and criticized her.
There was no look of guilt on the servant's face, he just bowed and said, "The master asked the eldest lady to go to the front yard."
"I do this every day, isn't it embarrassing? Tell Aunt Feng that if she had the ability, she would tie me up, marry me, and then commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and let the nine tribes set off fireworks with me."
"It's so annoying to be forced to do nothing if you don't have the ability!"
Mu Xuanyi rolled her eyes. Without even asking, she knew what Aunt Feng was up to and kicked the servant out immediately.
Who knew that Aunt Feng was not discouraged and even sent Mrs. Zheng over.
When Ms. Zheng appeared at the door, Mu Xuanyi sneered: "Hey, you're a rare visitor."
What Zheng did last time is still fresh in her memory, so of course it is impossible to give her a good look.
Mrs. Zheng's clothes were very shabby and had patches on them. She looked stern and cautious at this time: "Your Aunt Feng just hopes that you can find a good family to marry. She cares about your life."
event."
"Don't be too prejudiced against him, she is only doing it for your own good."
After listening to Zheng's persuasion, Mu Xuanyi opened her eyes and looked at her, her black and white eyes full of mockery.
"Mom, have you forgotten? You are the mistress here, she is just a concubine. As the main wife, is it possible that you still have to listen to the orders of a concubine?" In addition to disappointment, she felt more in her heart.
have no choice.
Angry at her inability to fight, sad at her misfortune, Mrs. Zheng's own life has been like this, and she still wants her to follow Aunt Feng's arrangements. How is it possible?
The clothes she was wearing had been patched several times. Her hands, which were supposed to be slender and white, were now covered with calluses. They were from work. Due to long-term nutritional imbalance, her body was like a candle in the wind.
, extremely thin.
Whenever she showed any emotion that she cared about her daughter and wanted to protect herself, Mu Xuanyi would find a way to take her away from here, but Zheng did not.
"This is the prime minister's house after all. No matter what happens, the master has the final say. Although I am his wife, I have to obey the master's instructions. If the master is willing to let Aunt Feng take charge of the housework, it means that she can do better than me.
It's better. Naturally, we should act according to the master's wishes." Zheng said this a little numbly. She didn't know the lines she had said hundreds of times.
"Fart!" Mu Xuanyi was so angry that she cursed.
"You have never been his subordinate. He wants to marry you, so he should shoulder the responsibility of being a man. If he can't even protect his wife and spoils his concubine, then how can he prove to others that he is a man?
He can uphold the principles of the government and shoulder the important responsibility of a country's prime minister."
Mu Xuanyi grabbed Zheng's hand: "Do you know what kind of husband he chose for me? He is a fool, a domestic violence man who attacks women, a man who hangs around in fireworks alleys, dotes on concubines and destroys his wives like him.
Man, after I get married, I will live the same life as you do now, and I will never have a single day of peace in the rest of my life."
"Even so, do you still want me to get married?" She stared at Zheng with her eyes tightly, feeling extremely disappointed in her.
This woman who gave him all the warmth when he was young is not as firm as he thought.
What's ridiculous is that even if she betrays her original identity, she won't get any benefits. On the contrary, her situation will only get worse and worse, until she no longer has any use value, and she will be mercilessly rejected by those two people.
open.
Mrs. Zheng hesitated: "That won't be the case. She promised me that she would choose a good son-in-law for you and let you live a good life."
"After you get married, I will give up my position as the main wife and make him a legitimate wife like the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"She promised me." Mrs. Zheng looked struggling. What happened now seemed to be different from what she thought.
"What did she promise you? From the beginning, she never thought about letting me live well." Mu Xuanyi sneered.
"None of the people she introduced to me was a good match. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is considered the best among them. At least he is a fool. He doesn't know how to hit women or mess around outside and then vent his anger on women.
On my body." Mu Xuanyi said this deliberately, just to arouse Mrs. Zheng's pity for her and to see if she really planned to stand by Aunt Feng's side.
Mrs. Zheng trembled and shook her head: "No, she promised me..."
After all, she didn't want to come out of what she thought was a beautiful dream. After all, that would mean that she had chosen the wrong path and trusted the wrong person from the beginning to the end. She almost pushed her daughter to hell with her own hands.
"Believe it or not. I can only tell you this. I will not accept the marriage arranged by her. If she wants to marry, let her marry herself, or let her daughter marry. Don't involve me, I can't bear it.
"
"Please come back."
In the end, Mu Xuanyi failed to be cruel to Mrs. Zheng and just drove her out of the yard, thinking that out of sight would be better.
