The gorgeous carriage stopped outside Guangde Temple.
Lin Yunyan got off the car and took Wan Yue all the way to the guest room.
Early in the morning, after Xu Miao and Liu Ping saw off Liu Xun, they came here instead of going back to the Liu family's house.
Aunt Xia was still waiting for her outside the house. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said hello.
Lin Yunyan nodded and did not go into the guest room immediately. Instead, she glanced to that side worriedly and asked in a low voice: "Is Madam in a good mood?"
Aunt Xia's smile was a little forced.
Lin Yunyan asked again: "Not very good?"
"That's not true," Aunt Xia sighed, and after taking a quick look inside, she whispered, "Madam's reaction is actually much gentler than the slave originally thought.
I thought that after experiencing so many ups and downs, including the exile of the young master, and the reconciliation with the master, especially what the master said in the past two days, it was very painful to the lady.
The madam loves the master very much. It is really uncomfortable to hear those words. The slave always wonders if she will not be able to bear it.
But she was actually quite peaceful, and she cried naturally, but not to the point of bursting into tears."
Seeing that the princess was listening very seriously, Nanny Xia was a little worried, so she couldn't help but say a few more words: "I think it might be better if I really cry.
Emotions have high ups and downs, and you still have to vent them. If you keep them in your heart, you may get sick.
Madam has many things to worry about, so she just suppresses them.
It was better during the day, with someone to talk to, but in the middle of the night, the lady did not sleep soundly. Like these two nights, the slave thought that she might not have fallen asleep at all, and her mind was full of these things, alas!"
Lin Yunyan knows it.
She was not surprised by Mrs. Xu's reactions.
It is true that she and Xu Jian have laid a lot of groundwork, and Mrs. Xu has also discovered a lot of inside stories herself in the past few months, but emotionally, she will struggle and suffer.
Judging from the results, she chose Xu Jian and Liu Ping, chose to reconcile with Liu Jing, and chose to watch Liu Xun's exile.
At this moment, she made the most appropriate choice.
But right and wrong are not the same as all the likes and dislikes.
The hole in my heart will slowly fill up over time, and now, time has just begun.
This matter cannot be rushed.
In particular, Mrs. Xu is "fighting alone".
As a mother, she could still talk about her longing and concern for Liu Xun with Liu Ping and others, although she could only stop there.
No one can tell her true feelings about the twenty-year love and relationship between her and Liu Jing.
Because if she said it, it would embarrass Xu Jian and Liu Ping.
She didn't want to do that, she could only close her mouth and digest it alone.
However, it is most difficult to digest in the dead of night.
Human nature.
"I'll tell her some happy things," Lin Yunyan said softly to Aunt Xia, "I can't say anything else, and she can't say it to me either."
Aunt Xia sighed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
"It's not hard," Lin Yunyan said, "My wife is the biological mother of the Duke of Guo, how can I feel hard."
After a brief exchange, Aunt Xia introduced Lin Yunyan inside.
In the guest room, Xu Miao raised her head when she heard the sound and smiled lightly at her.
"The Princess is here," Xu Miao's voice was extremely gentle. There was no trace of depression, and there was no bad mood on her face. "Sit down quickly."
Liu Ping also said hello obediently.
Lin Yunyan sat down next to the two of them: "It's better to be in the temple, so I can come and visit Madam and Miss Ping."
Xu Miao Wan'er.
She is actually thinking about the residence.
The Liu family house where she used to live is now under her own name.
Ah Jian asked Liu Jing to write a letter of separation, and he would naturally arrange the ownership of the house.
Liu Jing returned to his hometown, and the house in Beijing was of no use to him, so Ah Jian negotiated with Liu Jing based on the market price, and the money and contract were settled.
But no matter whether it is called Liu Zhai or Xu Zhai in the future, Xu Miao cannot live in peace of mind.
She lived there for twenty years.
Giving birth and raising children was all in that house. There was not a single scene, but a memory.
Xun'er's, Liu Jing's...
For her, it is really heavy.
"A-Jian told me that if she doesn't want to live there, she can take A-Ping back to the Duke's Mansion," Xu Miao smiled, "I thought it would be troublesome."
"What's the trouble?" Lin Yunyan asked her, "You grew up in the house."
Xu Miao blinked, looked at Lin Yunyan, pursed her lips and smiled.
Ah Jian wants to marry a wife.
Originally, the house was clean, just the young couple. If they moved back, a "mother-in-law" and a "sister-in-law" would appear out of nowhere that they couldn't see each other every day.
It’s different from what I originally imagined.
The princess has a good temper and won't complain about anything, but Xu Miao is so sorry.
Of course, she won't talk about it.
Speaking of which, it sounds like he is "forcing" the princess.
Rather than where she would live or how she would live, she hoped that A-Jian and the princess would be smooth and trouble-free.
Lin Yunyan is very transparent and can roughly guess what Xu Miao is thinking.
Mrs. Xu is just too careful.
This carefulness actually belongs to the same family as her grandmother Xiao Duan.
The only difference is that my grandfather is a sincere person, and the rest of the Lin family are also people who understand courtesy and give the best response to Mr. Duan.
Mrs. Xu met Liu Jing, and her caution and kindness were completely exploited.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan said: "As you know, Uncle Chengyi's house has a large population."
Xu Miao was slightly surprised, wondering why she mentioned the uncle's house.
"I have lived a very lively life since I was a child," Lin Yunyan said and laughed. "Sisters are together. My grandmother likes us to be in front of her, and I am used to it.
To be honest, Madam, I sometimes think that I might not be able to adapt to it after I leave the cabinet.
In such a large Duke’s mansion, apart from the grandma and the stewards, the only ones are me and the Duke.”
Xu Miao heard the hidden meaning of Lin Yunyan's words.
"Actually," Lin Yunyan continued, "this year, the Duke has rarely been in the government office, and he finds it too deserted."
Xu Miao's eyes suddenly tightened: "Then where is he staying?"
"In a familiar shop," Lin Yunyan replied, "the place is small and not so empty. I have been there several times and he is always playing chess alone."

Xu Miao murmured: "That's it..."
"There's one more thing I want to ask Madam about," Lin Yunyan's smile added a hint of embarrassment, "It's a small wedding ceremony."
Upon hearing this important event, Xu Miao was immediately attracted.
"I seem to have heard," she asked tentatively, "that the date is set for June?"
Lin Yunyan said: "Yes."
The date of her and Xu Jian's wedding was actually later than expected.
Compared with before, the marriage gift came earlier this time. The Holy Spirit’s original plan was to have a small wedding after the spring.
However, the days selected were not very satisfactory to the Empress Dowager.
She has her own set of rules when it comes to picking auspicious days and days. She always feels a bit off when she looks left and right.
The Holy Spirit knew her temper and did not urge her to finalize it.
After that, a series of things came up, involving the prince. Not to mention whether the emperor was in a mood, the empress dowager was not in a high mood either.
Until a few days ago, the Empress Dowager suddenly relaxed and settled on June 26.
It's a coincidence.
It was the time when Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian lived in Xiaoding.
After all, it is probably this time that suits the Empress Dowager’s liking.
Of course there are differences.
In the past, perhaps because of Gu Yue's presence, marriages were granted in a hurry in the palace. After the imperial edict was issued, preparations were made immediately for the wedding, which was very hurried.
Of course it was a great success, but it also showed a sense of "rushing".
They were given a lot of time this time. Although the date was just set, the preparations started after the wedding was given a year ago.
"Uncle An Yi and Madam Uncle are very attentive and meticulous," Lin Yunyan said. "In general, Uncle An is able to communicate with the Duke, but for some internal details, I am afraid that Madam Uncle may be inconvenienced.
It’s not easy for her to go to the Duke’s Mansion from time to time now.”
Xu Miao understood.
She has been married herself and arranged Liu Xun's wedding ceremony, so she knows those complicated rules very well.
Zheng Liu was born in the uncle's house, but Xun'er was just a son of an official family. Even so, he was in the same way.
When we arrived at A Jian's place, the situation was different again.
The duke marries the princess, and with his status here, there will only be more and more details to pay attention to.
When you take time off, the focus is actually on the woman’s house. The man’s house is not that important, but it cannot be ignored.
In the Duke Fu's mansion, it's not right to rely solely on the nuns and Mrs. An Yibo to keep busy.
When they officially got married later, something was even worse.
You can't let Mrs. Bo be so busy that she has to stay in the Duke's Mansion for a few days, right?
Someone still has to come forward and coordinate with Mrs. Bo.
"The princess said," Xu Miao asked, "if I move back to the mansion, can I perform wedding ceremonies?"
Lin Yunyan nodded.
Xu Miao asked again: "Ajian, do you agree? The Holy One ordered An Yibo to host, so I rashly stepped in..."
"You are the biological mother of the Grand Duke, how can you intervene rashly?" Lin Yunyan comforted her and said, "I really hope you can take care of it together."
As he said that, Xu Miao saw Lin Yunyan's eyes drooping.
"My mother is gone, and my grandmother and aunts can take care of things very well for me, but I occasionally think about what arrangements my mother would make if she were here." Lin Yunyan's long eyelashes trembled, "Where is the Duke?
I think you can take care of it, even if you just give a few ideas, it is different from having the whole thing presided over by Mr. An Yibo and Mrs. An Yibo."
A few words made Xu Miao's heart ache. For a moment, her eyes were sore.
She also lost her mother at an early age.
She has tasted the regret of her mother's absence at important moments and naturally understands it.
How could she say no?
"Let me tell Ah Jian," Xu Miao said, "that's all I can do for him."
Beside him, Liu Ping, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes, glanced at Xu Miao, and then at Lin Yunyan, with deep admiration in his eyes.
Rather than living in the original house, she hopes her mother can live somewhere else.
The temple is only for a short stay, not suitable for a long stay.
Guogong Mansion is actually a good choice.
Liu Ping tried to persuade her mother, but repeated the arguments over and over again, with little success.
A mother has a mother's hesitation.
As soon as the princess came, she pointed straight to the center, overcoming those hesitations, and settled on the more important thing.
This made Liu Ping involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.
