Everyone followed the sound and saw two slender figures coming out of the side door of Dongci Room. The faces of the two were four or five points similar, both gentle and handsome, but the man on the left was a few years older and had a beard. It is the patriarch of the Nangong family - Nangong Qin, the eldest son of the Su family.
The man on the right is even more handsome, dressed in a simple green robe, with gentle brows, he is the second son of the Su family - Nangong Mu, the father of Nangong Yue. The two brothers went out to visit friends three days ago and have not returned until now.
Seeing her father, Nangong Yue's pupils shrank sharply, and her lips were pursed into a stiff straight line. In the previous life, ever since her mother went crazy, tragedies followed one after another, she was powerless to fight... Later she was picked up by her grandfather, and since then, she was full of resentment towards her father, and did not return to Nangong's house until she was thirteen...
Nangong Yue subconsciously looked at her mother, Lin, and saw that her mother was looking at her father obsessively, with the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, and the joy and nostalgia in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
My mother has always loved my father so much, that's why I fell into madness and entered a desperate situation...
Nangong Yue's face darkened, looking at her father's young and elegant face, her eyes were somewhat deep and complicated.
"Qin'er, Mu'er, you are back." Seeing the return of the eldest son and the second son, Su's face was filled with joy.
"Mother, my son has worried you."
Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu saluted Su Shi respectfully. The two brothers realized that Bai Muxiao's embarrassed appearance was obviously drowning, and the atmosphere here was even more weird.
Nangong Qin took the lead and said to Bai Muxiao who was about to salute: "Sister Xiao, there is no need to be too polite, you should go and change your clothes quickly. It's easy to get sick in this weather."
The two servant girls took orders and hurriedly took Bai Muxiao, who was turning pale from the cold, down.
Then, Nangong Mu couldn't help asking: "Mother, what happened?" He quickly glanced at his wife and daughter. His mother had always disliked his wife and daughter. Think it's a little weird.
Of course, with so many people present, there was no need for the old lady to speak. Mrs. Zhao immediately stepped forward and explained the cause and effect of this matter in a few words. She was eloquent, from Nangong Yue's serious illness, to Lin's visit to Su's for medicine, to accidental drowning in the garden with Nangong Xin, and to the fact that Bai Muxiao was the culprit, she understood clearly.
After Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu heard this, they were all shocked. They didn't expect such a big event to happen at home after they had been out for only three days. Especially when Nangong Mu thought that his eldest son almost passed away, he would feel restless.
"Ruoyan," Nangong Mu called Lin's name, and carefully asked for confirmation, "Brother Xin... how is he now?" He couldn't wait to go back to see his son, but because of filial piety, he needed to greet Su first.
"Master, Brother Xin is fine." Lin said hurriedly, looking at her husband tenderly.
Naturally, Su also noticed that the two of them were deeply in love with each other, and felt that this daughter-in-law didn't know the general idea, so she knew that she was hooking up with the second son, and she became more and more dissatisfied with Lin.
After everyone returned to the east room and took their seats one by one, Nangong Qin's gentle eyes fell on Nangong Yue first, showing concern, "Sister Yue, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you seem to be in a bad complexion, are you feeling unwell now? "
Nangong Yue shook her head, smiled and replied, "Thank you uncle for your concern, Yue'er is well." Although she said so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was weak and weak. Lin looked at her daughter and couldn't hide her distress.
Nangong Qin paused, looked at Su Shi, and suddenly said: "Mother, this Xuanhuang Linglong Ginseng was originally a dowry gift for younger siblings, but now Sister Yue is not feeling well, so it should be given to her."
Hearing this, Su's complexion changed. This Xuanhuang Linglong Ginseng is a tool she intends to show favor to the royal family. How can an insignificant young lady in the family compare with the interests of the whole family? One must know that Concubine Liu who is seriously ill is getting Being favored and having a prince, it is not impossible for her to sit on the most honored position in the future. If Xuanhuang Linglong was offered to save Concubine Liu's life, the emperor would definitely remember his Nangong family's contribution, and the Nangong family's status would also rise.
Nangong Yue naturally saw her grandmother's thoughts, the corners of her mouth curled up at an angle that no one could see, she was ridiculed in her heart, she suddenly took a step, and smiled generously: "Thank you uncle, Yue'er is fine now, there is no need for Xuanhuang Linglong ginseng. Concubine Liu has been ill for a long time, so she must need the Xuanhuang Linglong ginseng more than Yueer." In the previous life, because of the drowning of his brother, he was hit hard, and his condition was even worse, so the grandmother had no choice but to return the Xuanhuang Linglong ginseng Mother, let yourself be subdued.
Only then did Su's complexion look a little better, and she looked into Nangong Yue's eyes with a little liking, thinking that after the granddaughter suffered a serious illness, she became much smarter and more pleasing.
Now that Nangong Yue said so, Nangong Qin no longer insisted.
After tossing for a long time, everyone and Su's leave, they all dispersed one by one, seemingly calm, but each had their own thoughts.
**
After leaving Rong'an Hall, Nangong Yue and her parents went to Lin's Qianyun Courtyard to visit Nangong Xin.
Nangong Xin is already eleven years old, and should have moved to the outer courtyard long ago, but because of his lack of intelligence, Lin Shi was worried about him, so Su Shi just turned a blind eye and let Lin Shi stay with him. Live in the wing room of Qianyun Courtyard.
As soon as the three of Nangong Yue entered the wing room, Nangong Xin had a great reaction.
"Mother, father, sister, you are back!" The boy had already changed into new moon-white clothes, and his hair was neatly combed. A pair of big black and white eyes were inlaid on the jade-like face of the crown. The pupils of the eyes were as black as ink, bright and pure. They were looking at the three of Nangong Yue with complete concentration. There was a carefree smile on the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have completely forgotten I walked back before the gate of hell.
He looked so handsome that when he wasn't talking, you couldn't see anything wrong with him. However, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will reveal a strong childishness, which makes people sigh.
Every time Lin sees such an eldest son, her heart aches. What a clever child he was once, who could read a thousand characters at the age of three, recite ancient poems at the age of four, and read four books at the age of five... Even his father-in-law Nan Gonghao said that Brother Xin was a rare genius in the family for a century, and he would be worthy of being named a prince in the future. But I didn't want such a tragedy to happen when I was five years old!
Since then, Lin has been regretting every day, regretting that she did not take good care of Brother Xin, and she always held a glimmer of hope in her heart, that one day Daddy would find a way to heal Brother Xin and make her brother Xin recover. Even if it cost her a short life, she would be willing!
"Brother Xin!"
Lin was agitated for a while, and hugged her son tightly, but was pushed away by the son in disgust, "Mother, I'm old, you can't hug me like this!"
"Okay, mother won't hug you! Our brother Xin has grown up." Lin let go of him without laughing.
Nangong Xin pursed her lips and looked at Nangong Yue with an aggrieved face, "Sister, why did you come to see me? I have been waiting for you for a long, long, long time..." He seemed to be afraid that Nangong Yue would not understand, and opened his arms wide.
Nangong Yue's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she was about to say something, but was snatched by Lin Shi: "Brother Xin, did you forget that mother told you? My sister is sick, and she needs to rest."
