In the evening, the old lady and Mrs. Lin stepped into the gate of the mansion. Yu Xiang had already prepared the meal and was waiting in the side hall. Yu Pinyan also came back, holding her sister's hand and playing with it, her deep eyes revealing a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
"Let's have a meal together." The old lady looked at Mrs. Lin.
"Thank you, mother, I'll go back and eat by myself." When Lin saw Yu Xiang, she was so annoyed that she couldn't eat. Fortunately, her daughter will be back soon, and she will have someone to accompany her in everything she does in the future.
The old lady was just polite, if she really agreed, she would feel awkward, so she didn't want to keep her, and waved her away.
"Old Ancestor, where did you take your mother today? She looks very happy. I haven't seen her smile in fourteen years." Yu Xiang smiled brightly at the old lady, with black and white cat pupils Glittering with fine brilliance.
When the old lady saw her granddaughter's beautiful spring-like face, she felt as if a bucket of honey had been poured into her heart. She was so sweet and cuddly. She walked over to pat her hair and said jokingly, "I haven't seen you in fourteen years? Little Did the girl start to remember things as soon as she was born? That is really the reincarnation of the soul boy."
"Maybe I really am. The ancestors eat quickly, so as not to let it cool down and pick up the smell." Yu Xiang repeatedly waved for people to serve the rice.
With her granddaughter's spirit and energy, the old lady believed her words, so she couldn't help laughing even more happily.
The atmosphere of the three of them getting together is different, even the air smells of joy. Mama Ma served the food and vegetables for several people attentively, then she left with a smile on her face. After looking at the mournful faces of Mrs. Lin and Miss Miaoqi for a long time, I feel panicked, so I should see Miss Xiang'er to wash her eyes more.
The old lady picked up a piece of roast goose for her granddaughter, and said slowly, "Xiang'er, the old ancestor has something to tell you."
coming. Yu Xiang picked up Yu Pinyan's wine glass and took a sip. The cat's pupils were wide open and she looked over, looking ignorant and cute.
The old lady laughed before saying anything, touched her soft cheek and said, "Xiang'er, you actually have a twin sister."
Yu Pinyan put down his chopsticks, took the wine glass from his sister and filled it up, drank it down, then poured another half of the glass, and stuffed it back into her hand, with a calm expression on his face, as if what the old lady announced was just a trivial matter.
Yu Xiang's already round cat eyes widened in an instant, with curiosity and surprise shining inside, "I still have a sister? But why hasn't she lived at home for fourteen years? Where is she now? You Why never tell me?"
The old lady patted her back and continued, "Because she is very weak and will die at any time, the ancestors had no choice but to send her to a nunnery for foster care. Not only did they not tell you, except for your mother and elder brother, no one in the whole house knew about it. If you talk too much, let the ghosts and gods listen, and find out your sister and take her to the underworld. You see, these fourteen years have passed, and her death has been solved, so... "
"So my sister is coming back?" Yu Xiang had a look of joy on her face, but she was not really happy in her heart. As long as she thinks that Zhengzhuer will compete with her for her brother's attention and favor, her heart will be filled with worms called jealousy, eating away at her sanity bit by bit.
Fortunately, the Hou Mansion didn't intend to let the Shen family take her back, but concealed Zhengzhu'er's past experiences. Although it was still for the sake of Zhengzhu'er's future, she felt a little more relaxed. It's not that she doesn't want to part with Hou Mansion, she just doesn't want to part with her brother.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously leaned over, hugged Yu Pinyan's arm tightly, and rubbed her cheek affectionately.
Yu Pinyan squinted and smiled, held her hand holding the wine glass, and fed himself a mouthful.
The old lady was used to the intimate behavior of the two, she nodded and said, "Yes, the end of this month is an auspicious day, and I'm going to pick her up."
"Then I'll send someone to clean up the yard immediately." Yu Xiang turned her eyes to look at Liu Lu, but was stopped by the old lady, "No need, just let her live with your mother, there is no need to prepare anything." The old lady is still hesitating if she can ask Mrs. Lin to stop after receiving it.
Yu Xiang didn't say much, she shook her brother's arm and asked, "Brother, have you met my sister? What's her temperament? Is she easy to get along with?"
Yu Pinyan fed her a sip of wine, his eyes stayed on her plump and charming lips for a long time, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "I have only met twice. She has a cold temperament and holds grudges but not gratitude. In the future, if you leave her Stay away, so as not to be calculated."
Yu Xiang couldn't help showing a surprised expression. It was only then that Yu Pinyan gave such a poor evaluation, and he didn't know what kind of wicked thing the righteous master had done. But what did it matter to her? As long as the brother doesn't like her, it's enough to only like himself. Yu Xiang squinted her eyes and snickered, lovingly rubbed her brother's arm, obediently agreed, "I see."
The old lady took care of her food, as if she didn't hear her grandson's straightforward words at all, but she nodded secretly in her heart: she has a cold temper and holds grudges but not gratitude. The summary of these nine words is really incisive, isn't that true? Well, at least it's the blood of the Yu family, and after taking it back for a few years to live a good life, and then finding someone with the same fate to marry, with a generous dowry to keep her life safe and smooth, she is worthy of her.
After dinner, the old lady summoned Mrs. Lin, Yu Siyu, and all the stewards, and announced on the spot that the Yu family still had a concubine who was in foster care.
Everyone was very surprised, and after looking at each other, there was an uproar. Yu Siyu also followed the crowd and made a surprised expression, but in fact, his eyes kept rolling on Yu Xiang's face, rather gloating.
Lin pinched her fingers and calculated, there were still more than ten days before the end of the month, and immediately expressed her objection, "Mother, why do you have to pick it up at the end of the month, can't you go tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is not an auspicious day. Don't go out and don't get married. If you want your daughter to be unlucky, just pick it up." The old lady closed her eyes and waved her hands, unwilling to see Lin's mournful face.
Lin was very concerned about her daughter's safety, even if it was such an invisible matter, she didn't dare to confront her, so she pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Yu Pinyan squinted at her with a sneer.
The old lady ordered all the stewards to bring the news to the servants, not to make a fuss at the end of the month, and then waved everyone away.
Seeing Yu Pinyan bending over to take Yu Xiang away, Lin's movements were indescribably gentle and tender, and her unhappy mood became even more gloomy, and she raised her voice, "Yan'er, stay here, mother has something to discuss with you .”
Yu Pinyan listened but didn't hear it, he held his sister and weighed it, and saw her giggling, so he raised the corners of his lips and walked out.
"Yan'er, you didn't listen to what mother said, did you? How can you be so disobedient and unfilial!" Lin was trembling with anger. When the daughter came back, she seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and opened her eyes to observe the world around her. The son's attitude towards her can no longer be described by the words 'indifference and alienation', but a chilling indifference to her. He didn't see her, nor his own sister, only the old lady and Yu Xiang. Forget about the old lady, after all, she is a real grandmother, but what is Yu Xiang? How can a lowly kind, a bereaved star, be qualified to share the love that belongs to his daughter
Lin desperately wants her son to know who is the person he should really care about.
"Brother, stay here and listen to what she wants to say." Yu Xiang whispered in Yu Pinyan's ear.
Yu Pinyan took two more steps, and waited until his younger sister poked his chest lightly with her fingertips before putting her into the wheelchair with a smile, and told Tao Hong Liu Lu to take care of her carefully.
Everyone exited the main hall, and Yu Pinyan sat beside the old lady with closed eyes and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Lin first poured herself a cup of hot tea and took a sip slowly before saying, "Since Qi'er has been found, shouldn't Yu Xiang be sent away?"
Seeing that the old lady suddenly opened her eyes to look at her, she quickly added, "It's not that she was expelled from Yu's house, but she was sent to the Zhuangzi because she was sick. It's always an eyesore for her to stay in the house."
Before the old lady could speak, Yu Pinyan crushed the armrest of the chair and said with a sneer, "If you think Xiang'er is an eyesore, then pack up your things and move to Shuiyue Temple to accompany Shen Miaoqi. You won't have to come back in this lifetime."
"You, how can you talk to me like this?" Lin looked at him in disbelief.
"Why can't I talk to you like this? I am Marquis Yongle, and this is Marquis Yongle's mansion. Whoever I want to let stay must stay, and whoever I want to let go, get out immediately."
"I am your mother! You are so unfilial!" Lin stood up and shouted at him.
"My mother had already died on the day my father died, and now you are just a ghost." Yu Pinyan shook off the sawdust in his palm, and said coldly, "You said this yourself, why did you forget it yourself? ? Since you are a lonely ghost, you can stay in the tomb safely, don’t make troubles everywhere, or you will inevitably end up with a ghost.”
The old lady put down the prayer beads, with a sarcastic smile on her face. Dead, she was dead fourteen years ago as this daughter-in-law. But you deserve to die cleanly, why did you suddenly cheat on your corpse? Children raised by themselves, even if they are not related by blood, they still have feelings, how can they just abandon them? Lin Shi is really careless, no wonder Shen Miaoqi treated the Shen family like that, but followed her.
Lin was speechless, and watched her son stride away, and said words that made her feel chilling, "If you dare to mention this matter in the future, you and Shen Miaoqi will get out of the Marquis Mansion together. I, Yu Pinyan, have always been denied by my relatives. Don't try to challenge my patience."
Panting heavily, Lin looked at the old lady, her eyes full of pleading for help.
"If you dare to reveal her identity in front of Xiang'er and then send her away privately, you can go home with the letter of divorce." The old lady gave Ma Momo a wink, and Ma Momo immediately stepped forward Hit the crumbling Lin and drag him away.
In the garden, Yu Siyu stood in front of a rockery waiting for Yu Xiang passing by.
"Mother's darling is coming back, and then there will be no place for you to stand in this Yu Mansion. Are you afraid?" She leaned slightly, with an extremely sweet smile on her face, but it seemed like poison covered in honey.
Yu Xiang raised her jaw and said casually, "My brother is the Marquis of Yongle, and this is the mansion of the Marquis of Yongle. As long as my brother is here, I will always have a place in the Marquis's mansion. Don't forget, I am also my brother's heart and soul. Who It’s hard to say if there’s no place to stand, but I can tell you with certainty that there’s definitely no place for you!”
She blinked, her smile was a hundred times sweeter than the other person's, and the hidden spicyness was enough to choke.
Yu Siyu's beautiful face was distorted out of shape, and when she was about to attack, she saw Yu Pinyan standing not far away, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth.
Always saying the same thing to different people in different places, this tacit understanding seems to have been engraved in his soul, making him feel very happy every time he thinks about it. But Xiang'er was wrong...
Yu Pinyan strode over, nodded her nose and smiled, "Silly girl, you are not my heart and soul."
Seeing his younger sister showing a sad expression, he laughed loudly, hugged her into his arms and walked away step by step, and added with utmost tenderness, "You are not my heart and soul, you are my lifeblood. As long as I am still Marquis Yongle, this Marquis Yongle Mansion will always be your home."
Yu Xiang put her arms around his neck, buried her cheek in his shoulder and smiled contentedly.
Yu Siyu looked at the backs of the two intimately, and snapped off her fingernails. Standing behind her, Qiu shook his head helplessly.
