captive skylark

Chapter 40
Mrs. Xie read the letter, put down the teacup in her hand and snorted coldly, "Back then I was unwilling to marry in every possible way, but now I am eager to send the letter."

"Mother, why should you think like this?" Xie Dingfang persuaded, "This is not very good. Next year, Yuan'er will marry to Xu's family, and Xingzhi will also become a relative. It's all about mother's concern."

Right now, only Xie Shuang and Xie Jue were left.

Xie Shuang is fine, as long as the young master of the Gu family returns from the frontier with his military service in the next year, the two can get married.

Even Xie Jue, the old lady had a plan in her heart.

"A few days ago, I went to Xiangji Temple to burn incense, and I met Mrs. Liu. There is a girl in her family who has not yet left the cabinet. I met her. She is very gentle and quiet..."

The Liu family has been a scholarly family for generations, and Xie Dingfang is also very satisfied with this marriage.

However, when the same words reached Aunt Fang's ears, she asked, "Is the girl from the Liu family born from a concubine?"

The maids below didn't dare to hide it, they lowered their heads and turned back, "This Miss Liu is a concubine who has four lives at home."

"The concubine..." Aunt Fang was stunned for a moment, but her heart was ashamed.

She herself is a girl from a concubine, and she is also a concubine after marrying and giving birth to a brother in Xie's mansion.

After so many years, even if the original partner died, Xie Dingfang never thought of helping her to be righted.

She knew that because of her status as a concubine, she was not worthy of Mrs. Xie's position.

So she deliberately wanted Jiang Yuan to marry Xie Jue, one of the innumerable benefits of the dowry.

What she valued more was the identity of the daughter of the Jiang family.

Unexpectedly, it was still in vain to spend so much time trying.

The heart that is held high, once it collapses, it will roll over like a mountain, and it will be out of control.

Aunt Fang was still sick after all.

In the twilight season, snow falls everywhere, and everyone in the house is busy with New Year's affairs, but the west courtyard is deserted.

Today, Xie Sui's marriage has been decided, and Yunxi came to see her, so he opened the curtain and asked, "Auntie's illness is still not good?"

Aunt Fang was lying sleepy on the couch, when she saw her coming, she forced herself up and sat up, and called the servant girl to bring tea.

Yun Xi hurriedly waved his hands, "Auntie doesn't have to worry about it. I don't drink tea, I just come to see Auntie, and I'll leave in a while."

As he spoke, he took off the cloak on his body, and sat on the side of the couch to look at her, "Why has Auntie not recovered from her illness for so long?"

She had caring eyes and a sincere expression, which made Aunt Fang feel very sad, "Good girl, it's hard for you to miss me."

"What is Auntie talking about?" Yunxi said: "I came to Xie's house, and Auntie treated me like her own daughter. Auntie missed me in the past, so naturally I should also miss Auntie."

He also ordered someone to bring the soup and medicine, and personally served her to use it. He is really a good boy who knows how to repay his kindness.

Aunt Fang felt more and more guilty, holding her hand and comfortingly said: "It would be great if I had a considerate girl like you."

Yun Xi also shook her hand, "Then my aunt will treat me as my own girl, and from now on, I will also be my aunt as my real aunt. It's just..."

Her voice became quieter, and her eyes gradually lowered, "If I do something wrong unintentionally, will Auntie forgive me?"

"Family, what do you say to forgive or not?"

Aunt Fang is full of tenderness and tenderness in her heart now, she is only annoyed that she has been deceived by lard before, and she has such evil thoughts about such a good girl, she really regrets it.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yun Xi suddenly sobbed, "I didn't mean it."

"That day I went to Xiangji Temple with my grandmother to meet the sister of the Liu family. I saw that sister Liu was a nice person, but I said something casually, it would be great if my sister was a member of our family, so we could talk together every day. I didn't expect my grandmother He fell in love with her, and actually made a betrothal marriage to Brother Cheng Yu."
