After all, Master Xue has experienced big storms, and he quickly regained his composure and stepped forward to ask questions.
"Zi Chang (Shen Yuanqi's word), why did you bring Miss Yu San back?"
Shen Yuanqi stepped forward and replied, "Father, Xiang'er is my younger sister, so naturally she should come back with me."
There was a flurry of pinging, bang, bang, but someone dropped their rice bowl and chopsticks.
"Your sister, what does this mean?"
"Xiang'er is my long-lost direct sister. It's a long story." Shen Yuanqi pushed his sister into the living room, sat down and briefly narrated the old events, which shocked the Xue family dumbfounded. After explaining the cause and effect, Shen Yuanqi said again, "This time I brought Xiang'er back, but I intend to let her recognize her ancestors and return to her family. I wonder how the foster father thinks?"
Master Xue just recognized Shen Yuanqi as his adoptive son, and didn't want him to change his surname. Naturally, it's not easy to meddle in his housework at this time, so he just nodded in agreement.
When the two were talking, Yu Xiang was also unobtrusively looking at everyone in the hall. Although Mrs. Xue concealed it very well, loathing and hidden worries flashed in the depths of her eyes from time to time, probably because she was very wary of Shen Yuanqi. It's no wonder that Young Master Xue is not up to snuff, the current Xue family is completely supported by Shen Yuanqi alone, it is hard to guarantee that he will not become greedy for the huge family property of the Xue family after a long time.
Young Master Xue is open-minded by nature, with a smile in his eyes, but he really treats Shen Yuanqi as a brother with a different surname. The other concubines were submissively taught by Mrs. Xue, and they usually ate in their small courtyard, but they didn't show up at this time.
Mrs. Xue gave birth to two prostitute daughters, one was twelve years old, and the other was the same age as Yu Xiang. They both lowered their heads and couldn't see their expressions clearly, but they could see that there was a stranger in their family by holding hands tightly together. uneasy.
I'm afraid the Xue family won't be able to stay for a long time, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't be dirty after a long time. Yu Xiang thought to herself.
Shen Yuanqi and Master Xue agreed on the matter of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan, Madam Xue then asked the siblings to sit down and have a meal. No one spoke in the hall, only the sound of chopsticks hitting dishes. Yu Xiang couldn't help but miss the time when her brother was there. She also ate around the table. She could lightly poke her brother's thigh with her fingertips to make him change his face; The hottest chili, the tip of the tongue can also taste the sweetness.
The elder brother left, but it seemed that he took away all the happiness in her life. While eating, Yu Xiang couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
Shen Yuanqi secretly sighed in his heart, put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "We've finished using it. Xiang'er is new here, so I'll take her around the mansion. Foster father and mother, please use it slowly."
"Let Jiayi and Jiayin take Ms. Shen there. Their daughter's family is easy to talk to. You stay here. Recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan is a big deal. I have to discuss it with you. After all, Lingnan is high and the road is far away. Come on, we need to find someone safe to do it." Master Xue said with a smile.
Shen Yuanqi looked at his younger sister, saw that she was waving her hand indifferently, so he could only stay.
The Xue family can be regarded as a prestigious family in Lingnan, although it is now thinner than the Western Mountains, the foundation is there. As the eldest daughter of the Xue family, Xue Jiayi is quite noble. On the other hand, Xue Jiayin, the second-in-law daughter, was not as good. Seeing Yu Xiang holding the whip for fun, her face turned pale and she found an excuse to escape.
Xue Jiayi didn't hold back either, and led Yu Xiang to wander in the back garden, and even came up to push the wheelchair when he encountered a slightly flat road.
"Miss Yu Xiang is such a famous person, but she didn't expect to be reduced to such a level one day. The world is really impermanent." She suddenly leaned over and whispered in Yu Xiang's ear, and finally Yu Xiang who looked back smiled brightly .
"Have I ever offended you?" Yu Xiang asked with a frown.
"No." Xue Jiayi shook her head. She just couldn't get used to Yu Xiang, so she couldn't be offended. She had seen Yu Xiang from afar once, at the spring banquet held by the Crown Princess, she was clearly a cripple with a broken leg, but she laughed more flamboyantly than anyone else, and she didn't know who mentioned her name, the volume was a little louder, She glanced over with a cold and stern look, everyone stopped breathing, and the quiet needle drop could be heard at the scene.
Several days after she came back, she was still feeling palpitations from the scene at that time, and after the palpitations, she felt contemptuous again, secretly thinking that there was nothing to be afraid of, but it was just bullying others. Without power and status, she is a useless person.
What was imagined at that time has now become a reality. Although he has no grievances with Yu Xiang, Xue Jiayi feels a burst of happiness. When this matter spreads throughout the capital, there must be more people who are happy with it.
Why didn't Yu Xiang understand the mentality of these people's troubles, and sneered, "Then, today I will have to offend Miss Xue."
Xue Jiayi's heart trembled, and she continued, "It's a great thing for me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but Miss Xue used the word 'degraded'. It can be seen how my elder brother is in Miss Xue's heart." Such a humble existence, what a miserable situation it is to return to him. Although my elder brother is now a fourth-rank court official, in Miss Xue's heart, I am afraid that he will be treated as a slave of the Xue family... "
"No, I don't mean that." Xue Jiayi quickly defended.
"Then why do you ridicule me for being reduced to such a level? What is this level? Can Ms. Xue help me out?" Yu Xiang blinked, her expression very confused.
Xue Jiayi's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't speak.
Yu Xiang sneered, "I won't feel humble just because I go back to my elder brother, and I won't feel ashamed because of my elder brother's experience as a slave. Miss Xue, you'd better be more polite when you talk to me from now on. Although she is not the third young lady of the Yu family, she is still the Emperor of Sinong Township conferred by the emperor, if you really want to talk about rank, your parents will also salute me when they see me."
Xue Jiayi's flushed cheeks turned pale in an instant, and she was unable to move forward or back, when she heard Shen Yuanqi's gentle voice not far away, "Xiang'er, it's time to go back."
Xue Jiayi didn't know how long he had stood there, and how much he had heard, and suddenly felt even more ashamed and angry, so she lifted her skirt and ran away in a hurry. Tao Hong and Liu Lu focused on admiring the flowers, and never stood out to their master, because they knew that all the ladies in Manjing were paper tigers in front of their master.
Shen Yuanqi pushed his younger sister back to the room, and poured her a cup of hot tea after sitting down, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.
Yu Xiang took a sip and said frankly, "Brother, although Master Xue treats you well, Mrs. Xue is on guard against you from the bottom of her heart. After a long time, it is hard to guarantee that she will not whisper something in the ears of Master Xue and Young Master Xue. If you don't We are greedy for Xue's family property, we'd better move out as soon as possible, lest our benefactors become enemies."
Shen Yuanqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what if I covet the Xue family property?"
"Then I can only say that your brain is flooded, and I advise you to think twice before you act. Why bother to lose your reputation for such a small thing? Don't pick sesame seeds and lose watermelon." Yu Xiang was as patient as persuading a child who had lost his way.
Indeed, the emperor reused himself firstly because he had no foundation, and secondly because he knew how to repay kindness and respected love and righteousness. If he took over the family property of Xue's family, his future career would probably be ruined. Shen Yuanqi asked the question casually, but he couldn't help laughing seeing his sister being so serious.
He once again realized the huge difference between Yu Miaoqi and his sister. Yu Miaoqi had to be strong since she was a child, and she had to take possession of the tentacles as her own, otherwise she would never let it go. If it was Yu Miaoqi who he was asking just now, the other party might be impressed and actively advise him.
This temperament was also spoiled by the deceased parents. In the past, she always whispered in her ears that she is a noble person, and one day she will get the best in the world, but it turned out to be distorting her nature, and finally shaped her into what she is today. This greedy, selfish look.
It was the Shen family who killed Yu Miaoqi. Coming to this conclusion, Shen Yuanqi's mood was very delicate, and he couldn't tell whether it was more hatred or more guilt.
The two brothers and sisters discussed for a long time, and felt that living in Xue's house was not a long-term solution, so they greeted Master Xue the next day, and then sent someone to tidy up the vacant mansion.
Master Xue tried every means to keep him, but because Shen Yuanqi was determined and had family members by his side, he had to let him go, but Yu Xiang did his best to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.
The fact that Yu Xiang is not from the blood of the Yu family, but Shen Zhuangyuan's biological sister has been known to everyone in just a few days. Yu Xiang had offended many people in the past, but not many came to her door to find a gap. There are only four reasons for this: first, her biological elder brother is also a celebrity around the emperor, so she cannot easily offend her; Third, Princess Nine came to visit her every day, and refused to leave until dusk, which shows that she has a deep relationship with her; Fourth, the princess sent several cars of gifts one after another to show her importance .
Although Yu Xiang left the Hou's mansion, her situation was not really down and out, except that she missed Yu Pinyan so much in the dead of night.
Yu Siyu visited her several times and said that the old lady was too sick to get off the ground. Yu Xiang immediately prepared gifts and went to visit, but was blocked outside the gate and had to leave in embarrassment. She can already walk like a normal person, but she still sits in a wheelchair when she goes in and out. I don't know if it's because of laziness or something.
After three months of this, on this day, Yu Xiang fell into a strange dream as soon as she lay down: she was standing by a turbulent, turbulent river, and not far away were the clashing sounds of swords and soldiers and the tragic hissing. Sound, looking up is the gray sky, with moist water vapor piercing into the nostrils, and a heavy rain suddenly came.
She walked forward under the heavy raindrops, and within a few steps, she saw a few galloping horses coming, followed by many pursuers wielding scimitars. She wiped off the raindrops on her face, stood on tiptoe to look at the face of the leader, only to see that the man was hit by an arrow in the back, fell from his horse, and fell into the long, turbid river.
The soldiers who followed him screamed "Boss" and jumped down one after another, struggling to paddle towards the floating figure. The cavalry on the shore put away their scimitars and drew their bowstrings full. The arrows were denser than the raindrops in the sky, making it impossible for people to escape.
Yu Xiang suppressed the horror in her heart and rushed to the river to look at the familiar figure. Seeing him sinking slowly, she woke up from boundless fear and helplessness.
Stretching out his hand to touch it, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and his vest and chest were in torn pain. Yu Xiang was panting heavily, calling Taohong and Liulu one after another.
"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Liu Lu stared at her expressionless face and asked in surprise.
"Pack up your things, I'm going to Xijiang." Yu Xiang turned over and got off the bed neatly.
