Seeing this, Lin Yunyan simply brought a spoon over and took Nanny He to sit down together.
Aunt He’s family said nonchalantly: “It’s nothing serious.”
"From the look on my mother's face, could it be that she doesn't want to talk to the Duke?" Lin Yunyan said, "Then you might as well tell me. If it's really not easy for him to know, I'll make up an excuse to get back to him."
Aunt He's family couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
Seeing that the princess was asking for the truth, she had no choice but to say: "How can I ask the princess to lie for me? In fact, I don't know how to talk to the Duke."
Lin Yunyan did not rush.
After waiting for a while, Nanny He said: "I went to Guangde Temple in the morning and met Miss Miao."
Lin Yunyan was surprised: "Mom, you mean, the Duke is his mother?"
Aunt He nodded.
At that time, under the guidance of the old Duke, she married into the He family and opened this shop with her husband.
She always remembers this kindness in her heart.
Since the old Grand Duke has no intention of letting her have contact with the Grand Duke or Miss Miao anymore, how can Aunt He family show up rashly again?
When Miss Lian Miao got married, she always mingled with the crowd watching the excitement and looked at her from a distance.
Care, but dare not rush in.
If the old man hadn't missed her cooking skills when he was seriously ill, he wouldn't have asked anyone to look for her in Taohe Zhai.
"The princess also knows that since then, the Duke of Guo has come to my place to eat when he has free time," said Aunt He. "I know that there is some gap between their grandparents and Miss Miao. This is not something I can say at will.
Things."
She is from the Xu family.
She must do things in line with the wishes of the old Duke and the Duke.
She would not rely on the little kindness she had in the past to ask the Duke of the country to do whatever she wanted, let alone talk to Miss Miao about this and that.
But Nanny He never thought that in such a huge capital city, a completely unrelated official's wife and an old woman who owned a shop would meet after so many years.
"Miss Miao looked very surprised," Aunt He's family sighed, "Yes, she always seemed to think that I went back to my hometown when I left the house, and didn't even know that I was still living in Beijing.
She asked me how I was doing now? Where would I stay?
I, I don’t even know how to answer her.
Let her know the place. If she wants to come here, I will be fine, but the Duke may be in trouble.
Miss Miao probably saw that I didn’t want to tell her, so she added that she would be at Guangde Temple on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. If I wanted to find her, I could go directly to Liu’s house.”
Aunt He said with a long sigh.
She took care of Xu Miao for several years, and even though she left later, she still had many feelings for Xu Miao.
The events of the three generations of the Xu family in the past twenty years or so, Grandma He's family only heard about them from hearsay, and she still has no details.
She just stood by the Xu family and occasionally felt sorry for Xu Miao.
The relationship between father and daughter and mother and son has become weak. The only consolation is that Liu Jing is not good at this or that, but he always treats Xu Miao well.
We didn’t meet each other, but I occasionally thought about it and it passed.
Suddenly seeing each other, memories and emotions all came flooding back to me.
So much so that Xu Jian got a clue.
"Has mom used to go to Guangde Temple?" Lin Yunyan asked.
Aunt He's family looked at Lin Yunyan in surprise.
She thought that the princess would ask about Miss Miao, but she didn't expect that the first sentence was about this.
"Speaking of which, Guangde Temple is right in the city, not too far away. It seems that I never thought of going in to pay my respects." Aunt He's family smiled shyly, "I went there this morning.
I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly thought about it and walked in. Now that I think about it, maybe the Bodhisattva wanted me to meet Miss Miao."
After Lin Yunyan listened, she thought that she might know the answer.
Once upon a time, Wang was not arrested for six years, and the monk Daoheng who knew Wang's whereabouts for six years was in Guangde Temple.
Nanny of the He family entered the temple and met Xu Miao.
One of them was concerned about the surprise, the other was hesitant and reserved.
It was nothing, but it fell into the eyes of others.
It might be Dao Heng, or it might be Wang Liuliu who came to look for Dao Heng, and they met each other.
They recognized that Nanny He had worked in the imperial kitchen, and mistakenly thought that Nanny's uncomfortable state meant they recognized them, so...
However, you don’t have to worry about that now.
Wang was captured by Xu Jian in the sixth year of his reign. Dao Heng escaped quickly and is still missing. It is impossible for him to sneak back to Guangde Temple.
Lin Yunyan then turned the topic back to Xu Miao: "Mom didn't tell Mrs. Xu anything, right?"
"No," said Nanny He, she hesitated again and again, and asked Lin Yunyan in a lowered voice, "Princess, do you know what is going on between the Duke and Miss Miao? Let me say a few things that I shouldn't say,
If she doesn’t treat the Duke well, I won’t feel so uncomfortable.”
Lin Yunyan smiled softly.
She understands what Aunt He means.
If Mrs. Xu is the same as Liu Jing, then even if there is old friendship, Aunt He will not want to mention her anymore.
But if mother and son have never lived together, there is unfamiliarity and estrangement caused by various reasons, and both of them are people that grandma cares about, naturally she can't do anything, and she can't do it randomly, but watching in the middle, she will
Very uncomfortable.
Human nature.
Lin Yunyan thought for a while and said: "These days, I haven't talked carefully with the Duke about Mrs. Xu, so I'm not sure. I'll find a suitable opportunity to test his tone."
Aunt He thanked her repeatedly.
I thanked him and couldn’t help but give him a few words of advice.
"Princess, if you don't have a chance, just don't mention it. Don't make yourself unhappy with the Duke over this matter."
Lin Yunyan agreed.
Back in the study, she looked at the chessboard.
The black and white twins are still fighting hard to separate each other.
Lin Yunyan sat down and roughly told Xu Jian what Nanny He said and her own inferences.
After thinking for a while, I added another sentence.
"Madam went to Guangde Temple early this morning. It seems that she most likely didn't know that Liu Xun was injured."
Otherwise, given Xu Miao's concern for Liu Xun, she would stay in front of the couch and not go out to worship Buddha.
Xu Jian reached for a chess piece and said calmly: "If I were Liu Xun, I wouldn't tell her either."
Because I can’t explain it.
Lin Yunyan chuckled, thought for a while, and stopped talking, without continuing to expand on the topic.
It was the same in the past.
Xu Jian rarely talked to her about her "conflict" with the Liu family.
It's not that Tete is hiding it, but that he, Liu Jing, and Liu Xun, father and son, have different stances and decisions.
Regardless of the pickiness and fuss that evolved from these things, even an argument in the Liu family's study is just trivial, and there is no point in saying more, let alone using it to analyze and judge.
What deserves most judgment about Liu Jing is actually his actions in Qianbu Corridor.
As for Mrs. Xu...
Lin Yunyan looked at Xu Jian and speculated.
Complex.
Xu Jian's thoughts about his biological mother are difficult to summarize simply, but contain a variety of emotions.
Gently, Xu Jian threw the chess piece back into the chess basket, leaned back on the chair, and said, "What are you planning again? You might as well just tell me."
