Chu Yunli came closer, looked at the painting carefully, and said with a smile, "It is indeed a good painting. If it has been left for a hundred years, it may be an ancient painting." After speaking, he raised his voice and ordered, "Come here, put it away.
Leave it well."
The maid next to her was chosen by herself from her grandmother. She was naturally obedient and walked in quickly. She gently took down the painting and rolled it up before retreating.
This action lasted only a few breaths, and Mrs. Yu looked not so good. She walked to the table and sat down, "Zidi, do you still remember how you got to where you are now? That day Po Ya took you to your uncle's house. If you were in our house,
I didn’t leave you behind, and now you don’t know where to make a living. If you met a master with a violent personality, you might have died long ago.”
"I understand the meaning of Madam's words. Don't you just want to say that the uncle's house is kind to me?" Chu Yunli walked to sit opposite her, "But marrying into the Duke's house is not what I want."
Mrs. Yu looked at her for a long time, and saw that she was not uncomfortable at all. She frowned and said, "If we hadn't sent you to the sedan chair, you wouldn't have met the Crown Prince, let alone your current noble status. No matter what, it's you after all."
It’s a good deal.”
"What do you want to say, madam?" Chu Yunli asked directly.
" Yan'er and the second young master have set a wedding date, which will be next month. Now I am helping her prepare her dowry, but in fact I have carefully prepared her dowry, but now it all belongs to you. As long as you have a heart, you will know your own.
Identity means that the valuable things inside should be returned."
The more she talked, the more she felt she made sense, and her words became smoother, "Furniture and porcelain and fabrics should be considered as gifts from our uncle's house, but you have to return the antique jades and banknotes at the bottom of the box to us. The ancient books inside
You can’t understand the ancient paintings anyway, so pack them up and bring them back to me.”
Chu Yunli couldn't help but chuckle, waved to the maid to bring tea, and raised her hand to indicate, "Ma'am, have tea."
After Yu said so much, she was indeed a little thirsty. She picked up the tea cup, but felt something was wrong.
"Madam, you may have forgotten that you are a guest when you come to my place today." Chu Yunli picked up the tea cup and said that she asked the maid to serve tea to entertain guests, "I am now the wife of the prince of Duke Liguo's palace, and I am no longer the uncle of Ding'an.
The second-class girl of Rouge Courtyard. I know the current affairs very well. I know clearly what my status is and what I do. I used to be a second-class girl and I would never refuse your orders. Now...
"It depends on your mood.
Her posture was leisurely, with a faint smile on her lips. Yu's face changed slightly, and he stood up suddenly, with a chill on his face, "How dare you?"
"What dare I not do?" Chu Yunli spread her hands, "To be honest, the key to the warehouse where the dowry is stored was specially given to me by my mother-in-law." Her face became solemn, "I came to run the Duke's Mansion, it's true.
It was given by you, but it is also my destiny. If I had not left the city to find the prince that day, how would I still be alive now?"
"I can't do all the bad things because of my good deeds, so you guys can take advantage of me? If you want a dowry, that's impossible!"
Yu was angry, and suddenly thought of something, her face softened, "The prince has been poisoned, how many days do you think your wife, the prince, can be free? Everything is negotiable. If you give me your dowry today, you will be in trouble tomorrow.
It's not impossible for me to ask Yan'er to take more care of you. I promise you that I will definitely let you live in peace in this house until you grow old!"
If Chu Yunli is just an ordinary girl, and Qin Shao's poison is really incurable, her proposal is actually quite reliable. But the premise is that she can keep her word.
Not to mention that Chu Yunli would not let Qin Shao die, even if he really died, Chu Yunli would not listen to her. He immediately served tea and ordered, "Come and see the guests off."
The maid came in, walked up to Mrs. Yu, and asked her to leave. It was obvious that she wanted to leave.
Yu was angry, "You are just a girl!"
Chu Yunli looked at her with a slight smile, without any intention of negotiating, "I am not just a girl now. I am being polite to you when I send you away. If you are not polite, I will let my mother-in-law twist you away and no one will say anything."
My gossip."
No matter how angry Mrs. Yu was, she didn't dare to stay any longer. If she was forced out by the mother-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, she would really lose her face.
After sending the person away, she returned to her room. Qin Shao leaned on the bed, holding a book in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Come to ask you for a dowry?"
"Yes." Chu Yunli smiled and sat next to him, "She said that after I returned the dowry, when you die, her daughter will leave me to live in the house until she is old."
"That might disappoint her." Qin Shao couldn't help but laugh, "I can't die as long as you are here." After thinking about it, he said, "I asked people to find a lot of medical books and send them to you. You can read them when you have time.
look."
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes, her eyes full of smiles. Zidie herself was an ordinary farm girl. After arriving at the uncle's house, she served in the kitchen. She said she was exposed to medicine, and probably only had medicated food. She definitely didn't have any medical skills.
.Qin Shao asked people to get medical books. She would read them here and let outsiders know. If she treats diseases in the future, it can be said that she is gifted.
He stretched out his hand and held her hand. The room was quiet and a touch of warmth lingered.
The days were peaceful, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since they had passed. In other words, it had been half a month since Qin Shao was injured. At that time, the imperial doctor knew that the Crown Prince Liguo had been poisoned by a strange poison and would not survive more than two years.
Ten days.
Many people outside were waiting for when the obituary would be issued by Duke Li Guo's Mansion. People who were close to him would ask the Duke Li Guo's Mansion every day if there was any news, so that they could come to pay their respects as soon as possible. But the obituary was not received, so he heard that
He told the news that the crown prince and his wife were traveling. He looked pale and had just recovered from a serious illness, but he was indeed recovered from the illness.
The two of them went out for a walk, and Qin Shao was still planning to resume his job. When they came back, they met Qin Qiyi coming out of the study room in the front yard.
When Qin Qiyi saw the two of them, he bowed first and said, "It's a great blessing that the eldest brother has recovered from his illness. There is an old ginseng tree at my younger brother's place. I'll have someone bring it over soon to replenish my health. It's a little thought from the younger brother."
Qin Shao glanced at him, and Qin Qiyi suppressed his smile in embarrassment, "Brother, is there something wrong?"
"Congratulations on your dream come true and your beauty coming home." Qin Shao smiled distantly, half-smiling but not smiling.
Qin Qiyi hurriedly thanked him, "It's the eldest brother who doesn't care about his younger brother. I didn't expect Yan'er to run away. It's really..." He looked apologetic.
Chu Yunli said that this person is really hypocritical. The marriage between Qin Shao and Xu Yan'er took more than a day or two to settle down, but it has been going on since childhood. Just like what Yao said, Qin Qiyi was doing it with deliberate intentions.
If she hadn't come, Qin Shao would have been dead. Qin Qiyi is now the heir apparent, and they are all happy to have the beauty back in his arms! "The relationship between you is indeed deep. Second brother, please treat your younger siblings well in the future."
That’s good.”
Qin Qiyi faced her, although his face was polite, but his eyes were quite disapproving, "Sister-in-law is worried, I am sincere to Yan'er, I never thought that I could stay with her forever, now I got what I wanted. I will naturally take good care of her.
Wait for her."
In the following days, Mrs. Yu came again several times, but Chu Yunli simply said that she was not available and did not see her at all.
Soon the wedding day came, and Mrs. Yao had made preparations, but compared to Qin Shao's wedding, both the pomp and the food were more than a little inferior. During the period, it was said that Aunt Yue wanted to give some advice on the wedding preparations, but Ms. Yao suppressed her.
Naturally, there were not as many guests as Qin Shao had come this time, but many of his close relatives still came to congratulate him, not because of Qin Qiyi, but because of the reputation of Duke Li Guo's mansion.
Mrs. Yao specially brought Chu Yunli to meet people, especially the old lady’s natal family and her own natal family. She also specially brought Chu Yunli to meet the guests.
When the bride came in, Mrs. Yao accepted the gift, and then asked Chu Yunli to bring her close female relatives to accompany the bride.
Chu Yunli smiled and agreed. She was quite looking forward to Xu Yan'er respectfully calling her sister-in-law. When she was able to stuff the purple butterfly into the sedan chair, wasn't it just because she was just a girl who was rubbed and crushed by her?
Qin Qiyi's new house was quite festive. It was all bright red and the red silk material was good. Chu Yunli approached, followed by Yao's niece and the old lady's grandniece, all of whom were unmarried.
Little girl. In fact, Qin Qiyi was not as cautious when he got married as when Qin Shao got married. It was said that Qin Shao's whole family was involved in the wedding. If he hadn't stopped him, the wedding house would have been quite lively that night.
After entering the door, she saw Xu Yaner sitting at the table with a shy face eating. The girl next to her smiled and said something to her. She looked up and saw Chu Yunli in red. Her expression changed slightly and she couldn't help blurting out.
, “What are you here to do?”
Chu Yunli smiled brightly, "I'll take them to see the bride."
The shy smile on Xu Yan'er's face disappeared, replaced by disgust and disdain. Especially when she saw her aristocratic look, she felt particularly unhappy. However, she still remembered to hide it in front of others, "Zidi, long time no see, you have changed."
It’s the same as an individual.”
Chu Yunli was not angry either. She smiled half-heartedly and asked, "Are you sure you want to call me Zidie? Aren't you sister?"
"You..." You deserve it! She swallowed back her unfinished words when she met Chu Yunli's cold gaze.
"Is this the second cousin sister-in-law?" An innocent and immature woman's voice rang in her ears.
Chu Yunli turned around and saw a girl in pink clothes beside her, with a pretty face and a smile, "Second cousin, you are so good-looking. I have heard about the relationship between you and second cousin.
, which makes people feel emotional.”
The relationship between the two of them is bizarre. Even a wife of a clan would not do anything to escape marriage for a man. There has never been one in this capital for decades. In addition, the girl's tone sounded inexplicably sarcastic, as if she was mocking.
, extremely harsh.
"What do you mean?" Xu Yan'er was not the one who could bear it, and looked at Chu Yunli again, "On the big day, you brought these people in front of me to make me unhappy, didn't you?"
Before Chu Yunli could speak, the girl explained, "My aunt asked me to come. I just came to see what the woman who enchanted my second cousin looks like, but that's all." Her tone was disdainful.
Those who come to the bridal house are here to watch the fun. Besides, on the big day, no matter how estranged the relationship is, you won’t embarrass anyone in person. At most, you won’t come. This girl made such a fuss that it really makes the bride unable to come.
.
Chu Yunli carefully recalled the identity of this girl. She was the concubine of Yao's brother, named Yao Rouwan, and her given name was Rouwan. But judging from her temper, she had nothing to do with Rouwan.
How could Xu Yan'er listen to the ridicule of an unknown girl? She stood up and slapped her in the face.
A crisp "pop" sound echoed in the new house, and the somewhat lively new house suddenly became quiet.
