The great changes in Shengjing soon came to an end. Emperor Tang was killed by the rebels who sneaked into the palace. Prince Huai died protecting him. Xiao Xuan was successful in quelling the chaos and was seriously injured. He was being treated at Xiaozhai...
Sheng Nuan finally had nothing to do, and no one was watching her anymore, so she went back to Sheng's house.
Of course she didn't want to go back, it was mainly because of Yun Niang, the original owner's biological mother.
Yun Niang was from a humble background, she was Sheng Xiaohe's concubine, and her natal family was also an ordinary person... Therefore, when her daughter was forced to marry into the Xiao family on behalf of her eldest sister, she was powerless to stop her.
In the end, the only thing he could do was to secretly give all his money to his daughter when she had to leave Beijing with Mr. Xiao.
Yanyunguan is more than a thousand miles away from Shengjing. In addition, there were previous famines, wars, and southern barbarian invasions. Yun Niang secretly wiped her tears every day and almost cried her eyes out. She was worried about how her daughter would settle down in the border gate in troubled times.
She didn't expect to see her daughter again...
The moment Sheng Nuan appeared in front of Yun Niang, this woman who had been weak for half her life was so surprised and happy that she cried heartbrokenly while holding her daughter.
But she was happy after all. Yun Niang personally cooked several dishes in the small kitchen. Mother and daughter sat across from each other, enjoying their rare joy in the small space in the backyard of the Sheng family.
Sheng Nuan has already bought a house elsewhere, and the Zhou brothers and their party are coming soon. She plans to find a way to take Yun Niang away from the Sheng family.
Wouldn't it be better to buy some maids and servants than to stay in this place?
It just depends on whether Yun Niang is willing to...
Sheng Nuan stayed with Yun Niang for two days, and was planning to find a suitable time to ask her and get a feel for her, when an uninvited guest suddenly arrived in the small courtyard.
It was Sheng Yan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and Sheng Jin, the third daughter. Sheng Jin was also a concubine, but she had always served Sheng Yan grovelingly and was very good at pleasing Sheng Yan. Therefore, when she was looking for a concubine to marry in her place,
It was Sheng Jin’s turn who was older than Sheng Nuan.
Sheng Jin helped Sheng Yan into Yun Niang's courtyard like a personal maid. When she saw Sheng Nuan, she covered her lips and chuckled.
"I heard that those ministers have planned to jointly invite the eldest son of the Xiao family to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. The eldest son Xiao has sent an invitation to our Sheng family to come to visit... Sigh, some people really have to travel around with others but end up being divorced.
Abandoned home, some people, like my eldest sister, are born with a bad destiny, and God is not willing to let them endure hardship."
Xiao Xuanqing claimed to the outside world that he had been seriously injured and had been rescued by a foreign race, but his appearance had changed due to the treatment of the injuries on his face. The elders of the Xiao family had confirmed his identity, and Xiao Xuanqing's identity was revealed.
In addition, the Xiao family brothers led the Xiao family army to defeat the southern barbarians first, quelled the rebels later, and then returned to the capital to serve as King Qin... Of course, the most important thing is that the Xiao family has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so those ministers are very eye-catching and jointly sign
He wrote a letter asking Xiao Xuanqing to succeed him and save the prosperous Tang Dynasty from disaster.
However, Xiao Xuanqing ignored it and didn't even see those corrupt and incompetent people.
But the news had spread, and Xiao Xuanqing had sent a greeting to the Sheng family, and the two families had an engagement before. Everyone believed that the Sheng family was about to become prosperous.
At first, some people laughed at Sheng Xiaohe for doing something unnecessary and losing a concubine in vain, but now they realize that he has left a way out for himself.
Yun Niang has always been weak, but seeing her daughter being ridiculed, she mustered up the courage to stand in front of Sheng Nuan: "Miss, Nuan Nuan married into the Xiao family on your behalf, and she has suffered for you all the way.
I don’t ask for your gratitude and pity, but you shouldn’t ridicule her either.”
Sheng Yan smiled: "Aunt Yun, did I say anything?"
Yun Niang froze immediately.
Yes, Sheng Yan didn't say anything, but she brought Sheng Jin here, so what Sheng Jin said was not her instruction.
Sheng Jin sneered: "Aunt Yun, how dare you be disrespectful to the eldest lady?"
Sheng Nuan sneered: "Who do I think it is? It turns out it's the eldest lady here to walk the dog..."
Sheng Yan and Sheng Jin were stunned, and Sheng Jin's expression suddenly changed: "You abandoned woman, how dare you scold me!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang, and Sheng Jin was slapped so hard that she almost fell to the ground. She covered her face and looked at Sheng Nuan with wide eyes: "You, you dare to hit me?"
Sheng Nuan smiled: "Would you like me to hit you again to show you if I dare?"
Neither Sheng Yan nor Sheng Jin expected that Sheng Nuan would dare to be so arrogant after losing such a big person and being sent home. Especially Sheng Jin who was beaten, she almost cried holding Sheng Yan's arms.
"Sister, she hit me, sister, teach her a lesson for me!"
Sheng Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and then she patted Sheng Jin: "Let's go, I will go back and tell my father about this matter, and ask him to make a decision!"
Sheng Jin nodded immediately: "Okay, let daddy punish her properly."
The two people left, and Yun Niang looked worried.
"What should we do, Nuan Nuan, the eldest lady is about to marry into the palace, your father will not let you go...I, let's run away, Nuan Nuan, let's run away."
After her daughter was sent away last time, Yun Niang regretted countless times, regretting that she was cowardly and useless in protecting her daughter.
She already knew she was wrong and she would not let her daughter be wronged again.
Sheng Nuan was a little surprised: "Mom, are you willing to leave the Sheng family?"
Yun Niang smiled bitterly, with a look of sadness on her face: "Mom is useless, your grandfather and grandmother are gone. Mom is incapable of protecting you. Don't worry, Nuan Nuan... Mom won't let them bully you anymore, even if you have to fight for this.
I will never let anyone bully you again."
Sheng Nuan smiled: "Okay, let's leave then, but mother, we have to leave cleanly and have nothing to do with the Sheng family in the future."
Soon, Sheng Xiaohe had people take Sheng Nuan, Yun Niang and his daughter to the front hall.
When Sheng Xiaohe said that she would send Sheng Nuan to the nunnery to pray for the Sheng family, Yun Niang's eyes instantly turned red.
She knew that her husband was worried that the abandoned daughter would affect the eldest daughter's future and cause others to gossip about her.
The Sheng family used a concubine to deal with the Xiao family's engagement. Now, instead of holding any grudge, the Xiao family even sent gifts, making it clear that they planned to continue the engagement.
Sheng Xiaohe didn’t want a concubine to affect his legitimate daughter’s future!
Yun Niang's lips trembled, her handkerchief kept stirring, and finally she mustered up the courage: "If the master wants to send Nuan Nuan away, it is better to abandon me together. I, mother and daughter, will leave now and never stay in Shengcheng again."
The house is an eyesore.”
Sheng Xiaohe frowned and looked at Yun Niang coldly, paused and sneered: "Are you threatening me?"
Yun Niang bit her lip: "Everything I say comes from my heart."
"Okay, then as you wish, someone will come and prepare pen and ink."
After a while, Yun Niang clutched the divorce papers tightly and carried a small baggage and left the Sheng family through a side door with Sheng Nuan...
"Don't be afraid, Nuannuan. Mom knows how to show off her skills, and she still has some money. She will definitely not let you suffer."
Yun Niang held her daughter's hand, not knowing whether she was comforting her daughter or comforting herself.
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw a spacious and gorgeous carriage parked in front of her. Yun Niang subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but unexpectedly the tall and burly man suddenly saluted: "Master."
master?
Yun Niang looked back at her daughter in surprise: "Nuan Nuan, this..."
Sheng Nuan helped her walk to the carriage and explained with a smile: "I have bought a house. Come on, mother, let's go home..."
