After the palace maid entered the palace and reported King Mingyu's words to Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun didn't feel a trace of guilt on her face. Instead, she happily said to the fourth lady: "Yu'er is so favored by this palace, but he is here."
It’s inconvenient for us to talk, this child.”
"His Royal Highness King Yu knows etiquette and understands matters. Naturally, he has been well educated by the empress." The fourth lady also followed Concubine Yun's words.
It wasn't until dusk that Concubine Yun was willing to let them leave. Originally, she wanted to stay for dinner, but the palace was different from ordinary people. After all, she was just a concubine, and only the queen had the right to stay for dinner.
On the way back to Shuifu Mansion, the fourth lady didn't speak for a long time. She didn't know what she was thinking. Shui Lianyue finally couldn't hold it back and leaned gently on the fourth lady's shoulder and asked: "Why is my mother silent?"
"Hey", the fourth lady sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Over the years, Concubine Yun has changed a lot. Once she enters the palace, no matter how pure and lovely she is, she will become as vicious as a snake or a scorpion."[
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly, stared at the Fourth Madam and asked, "Mother, have you discovered anything? Why are you so melancholy?"
The fourth lady shook her head helplessly: "How can you, a young girl who has not left the palace, know about the things in the palace? In short, my mother suddenly remembered your words. I don't know what happened to your marriage to King Yu.
Right or wrong?”
This time, Shui Lianyue didn't speak. At this moment, it would be better for her to talk more than to let her mother figure it out. The more unpredictable she is, the more uneasy her mother will be about marrying King Yu. I believe that in a few days, mother will...
Naturally you will figure it out.
The sunset was beautiful, but it was almost dusk, and it was already nightfall when we returned to Shui Mansion. Shui Yunheng had already returned home. When the mother and daughter returned to the house, they were taken to Muyan Pavilion by the housekeeper for questioning.
Knowing that Concubine Yun was not dissatisfied with the marriage, Shui Yunheng felt relieved. On the day he was summoned to the palace, it was his sister who enlightened him, and he suddenly realized that returning home did not cause any problems.
The chicken is flying and the dog is jumping.
Now, Shui Lianyue's wedding is approaching, and all parties will come to congratulate her. As the fourth young lady of the Shui family, the fourth madam cannot be so shabby. She simply opened the warehouse and moved five big boxes out.
It was expensive clothing and jewelry. He even asked the accountant to pay fifty thousand taels of silver to the fourth lady. He showed rare concern for the fourth lady and asked her to buy whatever she liked. He also ordered her to rest in Lanxiang Pavilion tonight and ordered people to renovate the orchid the next day.
Fragrant Pavilion.
Returning to Lanxiang Pavilion, sitting in the main hall, with red tassels and delicate green tassels, and the fourth lady Shui Lianyue, eight pairs of eyes stared intently at the five large boxes. The precious brocades and gold and silver jewelry inside illuminated the dim main hall.
.
Shui Lianyue moved her gaze to the Fourth Madam. She saw that although the Fourth Madam had an expression on her face, she still noticed the faint flash of disgust in her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If it had been any other woman, she would have been moved to tears at this moment. Mother
My mother is stubborn, and all she needs is to cherish each other's love. Even if that person is extremely poor, as long as she is willing to treat her well, she will never leave her for the rest of her life.
It's a pity that even if Shui Yunheng turned around, his mother would never look him in the eyes again. There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. I'm afraid that's the truth.
Hongying also frowned and watched, never saying a word. Qiaocui's performance made Shui Lianyue's heart skip a beat. The strong disdain in her eyes was unconcealed, and Shui Lianyue could faintly notice it.
There was a trace of chill on Qiaocui's body. When she looked at Qiaocui calmly again, it seemed that those things were all her imagination. Qiaocui showed an expression of "after all the hardships, the joys are over" and was comforting her mother.
"After all, we are all from the same house and have lived for most of our lives. Now that the master is willing to give me steps, my wife can just follow the steps, why bother myself?" Qiao Cui's words made the fourth lady look relaxed.
Some, sighing softly.
"Put all these away. It's getting late. I'm afraid everyone is hungry. I'm also a little tired today. Qiaocui, just make some food and serve the lady. I'll go back to the house to rest first. The master will come and call me in the evening.
"After saying that, the fourth lady got up and went back to her room. The moment the door closed, Shui Lianyue felt sorry for her mother. No matter how strong a woman is, there are times when she can't bear it. Mother, she is strong enough. If she can
, she would rather take her mother away now and fly away to Baihui Mountain, even if she lives in seclusion for the rest of her life.
