Lord Yu is the supervisory censor. His rank is not high and he has great power. Over the years, most of the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are close associates of the emperor. Lord Yu is honest and upright, and is highly valued by the emperor. Therefore, he is entrusted with important tasks and oversees all officials.
, patrolling prefectures and counties and other official duties.
Mr. Yu lost his wife in his early years, and in order to mourn his death, he never renewed his marriage. Mr. Yu has a son and a daughter, and all the affairs of the house are taken care of by his daughter, which is very orderly.
Speaking of which, Yu Shiyao is also a poor person. She made a marriage agreement when she was just a hairpin. Unexpectedly, a big change happened to her fiancé's family and the family moved away. The man promised to return to Laiyang City to marry Shiyao after everything was stable. But what happened?
Year after year, Yu Shiyao had passed twenty years, and the man's family finally came back. Unexpectedly, they came to break off the engagement. It turned out that the man had already married the daughter of a powerful man in the capital, so it was naturally impossible for him to come back to Laiyang City to marry him again.
she.
After her engagement was broken off, Shiyao gave up on the relationship between men and women and just wanted to stay by her father's side until she grew old. How could Mr. Yu let his daughter live alone? He searched around for suitable husband candidates, but Shiyao was already over the right age.
At the age of marriage, he did not want his daughter to marry as a concubine, so the delay lasted another year.
It wasn't until Old Madam Mu approached Mr. Yu and explained her purpose, that Mr. Yu knew about the Mu family, the richest man in Linyang, but he didn't like such rich people. There were too many dirty things among the wealthy families, and Mu Qingyang, the servant
He had many concubines and many children, and he didn't want his daughter to marry in a place like this.
However, it was a coincidence that no one thought that Mu Qingyang and Yu Shiyao had known each other for a long time. However, they did not know each other's identity at first and just played chess and drank tea. Although Mu Qingyang was a businessman, he had a bit of the elegance of a scholar, and
Shi Yao was a bit more elegant and generous than the ordinary ladies. If it weren't for the age difference of more than ten years, Mu Qingyang would really want to take her into his residence.
For him, concubines are easy to get, but friends are hard to find. He didn't want to lose such a confidante, so he never mentioned the matter of taking concubines. Shiyao was also smart and transparent, so she could naturally understand Mu Qingyang's thoughts.
Thoughts, she naturally has some affection for Mu Qingyang, but after all, she is a woman whose engagement has been broken off, and she no longer looks forward to the relationship between a man and a woman.
After it was confirmed that the person proposing marriage was Mu Qingyang, Yu Shiyao's long-frozen heart finally woke up. She had a crush on Mu Qingyang. Even though the man was more than ten years older than her, she admired his wisdom and kindness. If
She was willing to marry him. Madam Mu naturally noticed Shiyao's attraction, but she also made it clear beforehand that there were many members in the Mu Mansion's backyard, and none of them were easy to get along with. Madam Mu didn't do it deliberately.
To scare her, I just want to prepare her mentally because she is still young.
The old lady has long inquired about the acquaintance between Yu Shiyao and Mu Qingyang. Her idea is very simple. It is best to choose a woman who can serve as the mistress of Mu Mansion from among the women Mu Qingyang has a crush on. If she cannot find one,
, she had to find someone and then find a way to make them look at each other, but there was a destiny, and the old lady didn’t need to spend a lot of effort, she had such a status and appearance that she was worthy of Mu Mansion.
When the woman appeared, the old lady was smiling from ear to ear.
Because Mu Qingyang did not get married in her previous life, Liu Yun did not know this Yu Shiyao, but she believed in her grandmother's vision, and if she could get her approval, she would definitely be able to take on the responsibility of the mistress of Mu Mansion.
Furthermore, grandma asked Liu Yun to come here first, wasn’t she also asking the two of them to help each other in the future?
"Grandma, sister Yu is going to marry my father, right?" Seeing that the old lady was silent, Liu Yun quickly held her arm and started acting coquettishly.
"Sister Yu, will you call her sister when Shiyao marries your father in the future?" The old lady glared at her and saw her sticking out her tongue before continuing, "Shiyao is a little older than you, in the future you
Don't bully her."
Yu Shiyao is also a discerning person. When he saw that the old lady specifically asked him to see the eldest lady first, he naturally understood her intention and quickly waved his hand and said: "The eldest lady is smart and smart, how can she bully Shiyao."
"That's right, Sister Yu is so beautiful, how could Liu Yun bully her?" Letting go of the old lady's hand, Liu Yun turned to stick out his tongue at Yu Shiyao, with a smile on his pretty face.
Sometimes people are so strange to each other. Yu Shiyao left a good impression on Liu Yun. She was gentle and gentle, not at all like those petty ladies. Her eyes were open and sincere, without any hypocrisy and politeness.
"By the way, have Sister Yu and Daddy met?" Although the marriage was all the result of the matchmaker's orders from his parents, Mu Qingyang is already in his thirties and is no longer a teenager after all. Now that the old lady is renewing his marriage, it's always
It also requires his consent.
"Mu Lang and I...your father has already met." Yu Shiyao's face turned red when she mentioned Mu Qingyang.
Surprise flashed in Mu Lang Liuyun's eyes, and the fragments flashed through her mind. She knew who she was. She had heard Mrs. Lin mention that her father had been distracted by the vixen outside. That was what happened to that woman.
Call her daddy.
Unexpectedly, the vixen in Lin's mouth turned out to be Master Yu's direct daughter. She still looked dignified and virtuous, but there was no trace of vixen in her. Liuyun laughed in her heart, fearing that it was just an official woman like Yu Shiyao who looked like this.
It would make Mrs. Lin mad to death.
"Girl, what are you planning again?" Madam Mu looked at Liu Yun with a strange smile in amusement, and shook her head helplessly, with a look of doting on her face.
"When will Sister Yu come over?" Liu Yun really hoped to see Lin's anger to death soon.
"When your father comes back, we'll discuss the matter with him." Because it's a renewal, it usually won't be a big deal, but Mrs. Mu likes Yu Shiyao very much, and she doesn't want to treat this poor child badly.
Liuyun stared at Shiyao, and suddenly she understood why her father fell in love with her. The way she lowered her head was somewhat similar to her mother. Thinking of this, she suddenly sympathized with this upcoming person.
The woman who became her stepmother.
The three of them chatted happily while eating. Yu Shiyao didn't say much, but every few words he said made Liu Yun and Mrs. Mu feel very happy. Seeing Liu Yun's unabashed love for Shiyao, Mrs. Mu finally felt at ease.
A big stone was laid down. After all, Liu Yun was Ji Mengxian's daughter, and it was she who persuaded the Ji family not to interfere with the Mu family's marriage renewal, so Liu Yun naturally liked the candidate for the marriage renewal.
After all, Shi Yao is Master Yu's beloved daughter, so she can't be bullied in the house. She, an old woman, can't protect her all the time. Naturally, she has to find a strong helper for her, and Liu Yun is the best one.
She also believed that with Liuyun's intelligence, he would not pass up such a good opportunity to others.
However, what the old lady didn't expect was that Yu Shiyao could make Mrs. Lin so angry that she didn't even need Liuyun to take action. Of course, that was something to say later.
