When the night fell deep, Dingxihou Mansion fell into silence.
Mother Su dried Xie's hair.
"Is she asleep?" asked Xie.
Mother Su nodded.
"I'm so tired. I just ate two bowls at a time." She whispered.
Mr. Xie breathed a sigh of relief from his nose.
"If her biological parents were here, how could she suffer such a crime?" she said calmly.
"So a child without a mother is like grass, so pitiful." Su's mother naturally knew what Mr. Xie was thinking, and she also sighed.
They completely forgot that there was a person who was also a child without a father and a mother. In their eyes, that person did not feel pitiful at all, only hateful.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
"Did you find out what happened?" Ms. Xie asked.
Mother Su shook her head.
"Ms. Rao, after all, we ladies don't know how to tell. Those girls and women were very stubborn. They only said that they missed their grandmother and went to see her." She said.
Xie shook her head.
"After all, she is still young. Even if she misses her grandmother, the Rao family will not let her go out alone with seven or eight nursing mothers. She also goes to Quanzhou with boats, carriages and horses." She said,
He touched the beads and thought for a moment, "Don't be impatient. A young lady like her wants to save face. Let's take a moment and then inquire quietly."
Mother Su was stunned for a moment and put the pillow away.
"What do you mean, madam, to let the girl live here?" she asked.
"Can she still leave like this?" Ms. Xie shook her head and said, "She is so devastated that she even lost her way. Fortunately, I met her. Although her family is not authentic, considering how much she did for me.
On the face of a pair of shoes, I can't watch her walking like this."
Mother Su smiled and helped Mr. Xie lie down.
"Madam, she has a kind heart but a sharp tongue and a soft heart." She said with a smile.
But early the next morning, Rao Yufang had to say goodbye.
Su’s mother couldn’t help but persuade her.
"What? I can't keep your face?" Ms. Xie asked while standing under the eaves.
Rao Yufang looked at her with tears in her eyes, bowed her head and saluted.
"It's Madam's face that Yu Fang can't keep," she said tremblingly.
Mr. Xie looked at her and said nothing.
Rao Yufang finally said nothing and just saluted again.
"I'm sorry for bothering you, Yu Fang. Madam's kindness will always be remembered by Yu Fang." She said that and turned around to leave.
Mother Su didn't know what to do, so she looked back at Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie took a few steps forward.
"How come you can't stay? After all, if others can't stay, why can't you be kept here?" She said, "Who dares to argue? If you, the Rao family, want to argue, you have to deal with the original engagement first!"
Rao Yufang's back trembled.
"Madam, don't say any more, Yu Fang can't afford it..." She finally cried, hiding her face and saying.
"I said if you can afford it, then you can afford it." Ms. Xie came down, took her hand, and said, "Go back to the house to eat."
Outside the courtyard wall, Chang Yunqi turned around with a smile on his lips.
At this time in the capital, Qi Yue was sitting down to have breakfast.
"I'll go out in a moment. I'll go find the prince first, and then..." she said as she faced Aruahao.
Before he finished speaking, footsteps came from outside, accompanied by the voice of a servant's greeting.
"Madam is here."
The door curtain opened and Ms. Chen walked in.
Qi Yue hurriedly stood up and looked at Chen's expression as cold as yesterday.
Yesterday, Mrs. Chen pulled her into the car and drove her home. Except for that slap, Mrs. Chen never said a word to her, leaving Qi Yue to have a hard time.
"Aunt." Qi Yue looked at her and said.
"How am I your aunt?" Mrs. Chen looked at her and said coldly.
As long as you are willing to speak, Qi Yuedui smiled.
"Aunt." She smiled, "I left in a hurry and didn't tell you face to face..."
"Why don't you tell me face to face?" Chen looked at her and asked.
There's no need to say it, because if I told you, you would never agree to my going...
Qi Yue walked over, took her arm and shook her.
"You know what I will do, why do you do this?" Chen shook off her hand and shouted.
"Because I like him, so I must go find him." Qi Yue said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen was stunned.
She didn't expect someone to say such things so bluntly.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say, and my heart was filled with various emotions.
like him?
like him!
After doing so much, it was so easy to jump out and actually say I like him!
Mrs. Chen raised her hand.
There was a crisp snap.
The air in the room was stagnant.
Qi Yue didn't expect it at all. There was still a smile on her face, but she felt that half of her face was burning and hurting, and even her ears were buzzing.
Arua came over in one step, stretched out her hand and covered Qi Yue behind her.
They have been following Qi Yue for a long time now, and they have already regarded Qi Yue as their superior. Now let alone the Chen family, even if Dingxi Marquis stands in front of Qi Yue and is unkind to him, they will rush over to him.
"Mrs. Chen, please tell me if you have something to say." Aru said, looking at Mrs. Chen with a wary look in her eyes.
Qi Yue came back to her senses, calmed down, and patted Ah Ru and Ah Hao to signal them to relax.
"Yes, aunt, my mother is worried about my son traveling thousands of miles away. What I did made you worry. It's my fault that I scared you." She said, holding Chen's hand again.
Mrs. Chen looked at her.
"So you still know that I am doing it for you?" she said tremblingly.
"I know you are worried about me." Qi Yue replied.
Chen was so excited that he didn't pay attention to her words.
A Ru glanced at Qi Yue.
What she answered was not that she knew you were good for me.
"Then do you listen to me?" Chen asked again.
Qi Yue smiled and reached out to hold Chen's arm.
"Auntie, sit down and eat first. After eating, you can teach me a lesson." She smiled.
Mrs. Chen looked at her and shook her head.
"I don't have time to teach you a lesson." She said, reaching out and stroking Qi Yue's temples.
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, why did this sentence sound so...
"Listen to me and stay well at home. I will find a way to solve your trouble this time." Mrs. Chen said.
This is what Qi Yue is most worried about now. Although Zhou Maochun was laughing and joking along the way, in fact, this matter is probably really serious.
It's obvious that they were set up by a villain. If someone close to the emperor like Zhou Maochun dared to get involved, it means that the other party has a big background and there must be a lot of people who are adding fuel to the flames.
No matter how powerful Zhou Maochun is, he is just an imperial doctor. He has no father, no mother, and no apprentice. To put it bluntly, he is alone. He has no family or friends to help him. His only support is the emperor. If he loses the emperor's heart, he will be killed.
, it couldn’t be simpler.
Chen's home is the Duke's Mansion. If she would come forward, things would be much better.
Chang Yuncheng is no longer alone.
"Aunt." Qi Yue couldn't help but said in surprise, but then worried, "Will this cause trouble for you?"
Mrs. Chen glanced at her.
"If you promise to listen to me, you won't get into trouble," she said.
This is a pun.
If he had listened to her, he would not have gone to Mobei, and naturally he would not have had this trouble.
Qi Yue shook her arm and called her aunt.
Mrs. Chen took a deep breath, turned around and left.
"Aunt?" Qi Yue shouted in confusion.
"I'm going to the palace now," she said.
Qi Yue was stunned again in surprise.
"Now?" she asked.
Mrs. Chen said that she could come and go freely as if the palace was her home...
This, this is too...
But it does seem to be.
"Has aunt eaten?" she couldn't help but ask.
"There's no point in eating or not." Mrs. Chen glanced at the dining table and said calmly, and gave Qi Yue another warning look, "If you don't listen to me and run around this time, even the gods won't be able to save you.
.”
After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
All Qi Yue could see was the door curtain shaking.
"Madam, let's..." Aru asked in a low voice.
Qi Yue pondered for a moment.
"In this case, you ask Hu San to go to the Crown Prince and tell him that Madam will find a way and tell him not to worry," she said.
Aru nodded.
"And ask how the old lady is doing." Qi Yue asked.
Ah Ru responded and went out in a hurry.
The room returned to silence, and Qi Yue sat down and looked at the table full of food.
"Eat, only when you are full can you have strength." She said, paused with her chopsticks, and stretched out her hands to pick up the vegetables.
