"Who's here?" Lady Yuguo put down the medicine bowl in her hand, thinking she didn't hear clearly.
"It's the Princess of England who wants to see you." The maid reported.
"Princess Ying?" Lady Yuguogong frowned, and couldn't remember who it was for a moment. She never cared much about what was happening outside. Her own health was not good to begin with, and she couldn't care about enough. It was good enough that she could take good care of herself. How could she have so much energy to pay attention to other things
"The fourth young lady from Minister Qu's mansion." Ji Yanyue said.
She knew a lot about this British princess, and she also knew that she was looking for her. It was a pity that she couldn't show up at the moment, otherwise she would have to thank this cousin very much.
She had never met this cousin from the Qu family before. She heard that this cousin was in poor health and didn't like to see people. Even if she was her sister, she could only send someone to see her.
As for the rest, it is even less clear.
On the contrary, this time, after surviving the disaster, she knew much more about her cousin.
Knowing that she had found an heir for her father, knowing that she had asked the government to look for her, and knowing that she and Ji Youran did not get along, Ji Yanyue felt close to this cousin whom she had never met.
"Is she the fourth young lady of Minister Qu's mansion whose biological mother was murdered and who also went blind?" Lady Yuguogong had some impression of her after hearing this. After all, what Qu Moying had done during this period was quite spectacular and everyone outside was talking about it.
"That's her." Ji Yanyue touched the medicine bowl and found it was still warm. She said, "Mother, you should use some more. This medicine is excellent and can't be wasted. It's just right for your condition."
"There aren't many left." Lady Yuguogong complained that it was too bitter.
"Mother's health is much better than before. We can't relax now. Mother needs to take the medicine well. This is what mother agreed to when father and eldest brother left that day." Ji Yanyue's face was stern and she said seriously.
Seeing her tender appearance, yet pretending to be an adult, Lady Yuguogong's heart softened for no reason.
Although he was still reluctant to drink more medicine, he picked it up again, frowned, and drank the remaining medicine in one gulp.
Putting down the medicine bowl, Ji Yanyue had already brought the candied fruit in her hand to her lips: "Mother, hold this in your mouth. It tastes good and can relieve the bitterness. I just went to find it. Mother, try it."
"Okay...Okay, mother will try it." Madam Yuguo was all smiles.
After the bitterness subsided a little, he frowned again.
"Mother, how are you? Don't you like it?" Ji Yanyue had been watching her movements and saw her like this, so she hurriedly said.
"Since the Princess of England is here, I have to see her." Lady Yuguogong sighed.
If it were anyone else, she could use illness as an excuse to avoid seeing her, but this British princess was so important, and she was so polite that she went out of the city to see her. It would not be possible for her to not even see her.
"Someone, please ask Princess Ying to go to the flower hall. Wait a moment and I'll be there soon." Lady Yuguogong sighed. She really didn't want to see anyone.
It's the same whether it's the British princess or anyone else, but we have to see them.
"Madam, I will go and take a look first." A maid took the task with a smile. This was the confidant of Lady Yuguogong, her personal maid Wu.
"Okay!" Lady Yuguogong nodded. She was still confident in Nanny Wu's work.
After asking the maid to tidy up a bit,
Ji Yanyue sent her back, and the wife of Duke Yuguo was about to leave with a few maids and old women.
But suddenly, he saw someone coming in from outside and almost bumping into the leading maid.
Lady Yuguogong stopped and looked over with displeasure. This was her house, so how could there be such an ignorant servant here
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Nanny Wu, the always steady and decent Nanny Wu. This was really surprising.
"Madame Wu, what's the matter?"
"Madam... this old servant... this old servant has something to tell you." Madam Wu looked as if she had seen something terrifying. She was shaking and trembling all over, completely losing her usual composure.
Seeing her like this, Lady Yuguogong knew that something was wrong, so she waved her hand and asked the other maids and old women to leave. Nanny Wu was not the kind of person who did not know the seriousness of the matter. For her to say such things at this time must mean that something big had happened that she was not aware of.
I have been living in a farm outside the city for so many years. I wonder what important things will happen
“Madam… Madam… Miss… Miss…” After everyone left, Nanny Wu calmed herself down and spoke anxiously. However, she was too frightened just now and seemed unable to recover for a while. These few words left Lady Yuguogong at a loss, and she had no idea what she was trying to say.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yue girl has already left. Do you have something important to talk to her about?"
"Madam, it's not... not the young lady, it's... another young lady." Madam Wu shook her hands frantically, and if you looked closely, you could see that her hands were shaking.
Not just his hands, his whole body was shaking, with sweat on his forehead.
"It's not that young lady, it's another young lady. Which family is the other young lady from? What happened?" Lady Yuguogong still didn't understand. If the person in front of her was not her trusted nanny, how could she have chatted with her so much nonsense.
"No... Madam... No," Madam Wu's words became more and more confusing, and she gestured as she spoke, "Yes... Yes, Madam, your daughter!"
Lady Yuguogong didn't understand what she said for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly grabbed Nanny Wu's hand, and her voice trembled unconsciously.
"Is... is it my daughter?"
“Yes… it’s the young lady… it’s really the young lady…” Nanny Wu cried with joy. For so many years, Madam has been looking for the young lady, looking and looking… Her health has become worse and worse. Whenever she saw Madam blaming herself like this, Nanny Wu felt very distressed.
She was also clear about what happened back then...
The flower hall is very quiet and not small. Even if you are in a farm outside the city, you can see that everything here is no worse than that in the capital. I heard that the wife of Duke Yuguo has lived here for more than ten years. Since she returned to the capital, she has been living here to recuperate. Everything here is really good.
Standing at the window of the flower hall and looking out, the scenery outside was also very beautiful. It was completely different from the manor where Qu Moying had lived before. This was where real people lived, and it was where the ladies and daughters of real aristocratic families recuperated. The place where he had lived before was probably similar to the place where the servants lived here.
It's even worse than where the servants live.
Qu Moying did not feel sorry for herself at this moment. After all, although the place in the manor was simple, it brought her many good memories.
In the eyes of others, that place is not even a place to live, but in her eyes,
But it is also a peaceful place...
But now, when I saw the manor where the wife of Duke Yu lived, I couldn't help but compare them in my mind.
From this, it can be seen that the wife of Duke Yuguo was indeed very much loved by Duke Yuguo. Even though she had been in poor health and had been recuperating outside the city, the Duke Yuguo was devoted to her. It was said that the Duke Yuguo's mansion had no concubines, neither before nor after.
It looks like it might be true now, at least this place looks very thoughtful.
The wife of Duke Yuguo was in poor health, so many things were definitely not arranged by herself, like the trees outside the window, which did not look like they were originally planted there.
There are clusters of large flowers on the tree for viewing. There is also a rockery with a stream flowing under it. There is a pavilion on top of the rockery with the steps polished very round...
The owner's careful arrangement can be seen in every place here.
"Princess, what kind of person is the wife of the Duke of Yu? Does she have a bad temper?" Yu Chun stood behind Qu Moying worriedly and said uneasily.
I heard that people who are always sick tend to have a bad temper, let alone the wife of Duke Yuguo who has been ill for so many years and doesn't associate with other ladies in the capital.
Of course, there has also been no news of any lady coming from the capital specifically to visit this lady at the manor, and as a result, this lady has become even more reclusive.
Yu Chun felt that it was difficult to get along with such a person, and was afraid that Qu Moying would be disliked if he came to her house like this.
A woman suddenly poked her head outside and looked inside, as if she was about to come in. But after taking a few steps, her feet went weak and she actually fell...
Did he really fall? Yuchun looked at the woman in astonishment. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and tried to help him up. However, she looked at her master's face as if she had seen a ghost. She climbed up while mumbling to herself, and then turned and ran away.
Run away
"Master, what's wrong with this old woman? Do you want me to go and take a look?" Yuxiu said unhappily.
No one has ever run away after seeing their master. What kind of nonsense is this? The servants of the Yuguo Mansion don't know the rules.
"No need, wait a moment." This was very unexpected, Qu Moying didn't understand it either. She raised her eyes to look at the old woman who had already run away, and said with her long eyelashes fluttering twice.
She decided to wait and see until things were cleared up.
If nothing special happened, the people in the Yuguo Mansion would not behave so rudely. She reached out and touched her face. What was on her face that shocked this woman to such an extent? She really couldn't guess it. Could it be related to her face
Subconsciously, she touched her face again, raised her eyes slightly, and sat down in front of the chair thoughtfully. The reason she came today was Ji Yanyue, and she felt that it was time to reveal Ji Yanyue's identity, but now... Could there be some unexpected thing
She was worried that something might happen, so she came to the house without permission.
The maid of the Duke of Yuguo Mansion had already brought tea. Qu Moying took a sip and put it down thoughtfully. He felt that something unexpected might happen, but what was it? A light flashed in his mind, but he didn't have time to catch it...
This time, the wait lasted a long time, so long that the two maids became impatient. Finally, Yuchun saw a group of people coming from afar at the door...
