After my death, my ex-husband ruled the world

Chapter 29 Seniority
'New Year's Day', also known as the New Year's Day, is the grandest and most solemn festival in Dayin, and is the first day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Children were playing in the market, and there were many traces of firecrackers set off in the snow.

After Chunyan left, Yu Lian put on a light gauze in the afternoon, a simple green bamboo leaf satin jacket with a front, and a golden red feather satin cape, and went out, deliberately going through the small door in the backyard.

She has not been specially dressed up, and her natural beauty sometimes attracts the attention of passers-by even if she is wrapped in a cloak.

She is more low-key.

Pass Xuanhu Street, then cross Zhuque Street, walk a small path, and enter a main road, where the Xu Mansion is.

This is the residence of the Xu family for many years, and Yu Wende did not take it away.

There were many secret guards watching around the Xu Mansion, hiding in the dark. Yu Lian was worried about her nephew, so she took the risk to come to meet him. It was enough to recover [-]% of his power, plus there was a secret passage into the Xu Mansion.

She walked into Baoyuan Lane.

Turn in at the first corner, and the third house is an abandoned courtyard.

After climbing over the wall, there is a dry well in the courtyard. It is so dark that you cannot see the bottom even under the bright sunshine. It looks very scary to outsiders.

The girl looked down for a few times, then jumped down. There was a secret passage in the well, and there were occasional forks. She walked towards the Xu Mansion in a familiar way.

At the other end of the connection is a wing room.

She walked out of the wing and felt relieved that there were no secret guards watching in the mansion. There were few servants in the mansion, and she moved carefully so she didn't meet anyone else. After searching around, she found Shigou in Fenglan Courtyard.

The young man was sitting under the porch, his black hair tied up with a gilt crown, his face was obviously tired, his eyes were dull, and he was staring straight at the bare branches in the courtyard, but his emotions had already drifted away.

"Ten dogs."

The crisp and sweet voice woke him up, and he turned around to see the girl named Yu Xianglian.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at her in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

Yu Lian glanced at his wing room, motioning to come in and chat.

The two entered the house together and closed the door. Xu Jingyao then asked, "Why are you here? Someone is watching Xu's house outside. You will be found if you climb over the wall."

She took off her veil, walked to the Yuan mother-of-pearl chair and sat down, calmly said: "Princess Zhaoyang told me the secret way, I came in through the secret way, your father was arrested by Dongchang, how is it now?"

Speaking of his father, Xu Jingyao was a little startled and his eyes darkened a bit.

Then he came back to his senses, as if lost in a sense of loss:
"Yes, I don't know what happened. Dongchang came to arrest him early in the morning. I didn't leave a reason. I have been going to the government to inquire all day, only to find out that my mother is missing. The people in Dongchang suspected that my father was the one. Because, no one in the court dares to make friends with my family, I can't help father, and I don't know where to find mother, so I went back to the mansion and sat for a while, and you came."

Yu Lian couldn't see him like this, so she told him that Chun Yan and Xia Que had become her subordinates, and also told him that his mother was hiding in Jinchunfang.

"I planned to find a suitable time to discuss this matter with Madam Xu, but Dongchang moved a step faster. When your father is rescued, we will go to Pengshan together. Princess Zhaoyang told you about Pengshan."

Xu Jingyao changed his dejected expression and sat beside her with bright eyes: "Where is my mother?"

She nodded.

He smiled expectantly, showing his cute little canine teeth: "After saving my father, we will go to Pengshan together. My aunt told me about that place."

There, his father would not have to endure the strange looks of others and could reunite with his mother. He would start practicing martial arts after arriving at Pengshan.

Xu Jingyao carefully added: "Will you accompany us there too?"

Yu Lian replied generously: "Yes, Chunyan and Xiaque will also go. In the capital, Tong Jingyun, Dongchang, Yu Wende and others will not let me go. In order not to implicate Yu's mansion, I will use the method of feigning death to escape. Or get married."

"Marry?"

She nodded, "It depends on the situation. You don't have to worry about me." After a pause, she said, "Do you want to see your mother?"

Xu Jingyao nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I think, I haven't seen her for a long time."

Yu Lian touched his head and said, "Be prepared. The people watching outside don't know the existence of the secret passage. I will take you out of Xu Mansion to Jinchunfang. Although this move is risky, it is good for you to see your mother." , I’ll take you back again.”

A faint blush appeared on Xu Jingyao's face, and he got up and stood a little further away.

Shyly said: "Okay. Men and women can't kiss each other, don't you."

Yu Lian patted her hand, she was used to touching it when she was a child.She put on an appearance of an elder, and said earnestly: "I belong to the same generation as Zhaoyang, and I will treat you as my junior. You don't want to have anything, otherwise I will tell your father and let him clean up you."

Xu Kangcheng values ​​​​the rules and will not allow his son to like an elder and mess up the seniority.

But now she has a beautiful face and looks like an elder. Xu Jingyao doesn't have any awe, knowing that she is afraid that he will like her, so he nods in response. This girl Yu is thinking too much.

Yu Lian found a set of Xu Jingyao's clothes to change into, and pretended to be a handsome young man before going out.

Time passes little by little!
The two climbed out of the dry well in the abandoned courtyard, and it was nearly dusk.

Most of the setting sun has sunk, the rays of the sun are shining, and the cold wind is blowing, and there is a touch of gentleness.

Chunyan left the city suddenly, Yu Lian took her nephew to Jinchunfang alone, both of them were dressed in men's clothes.Xia Que was startled when she saw them, she quickly welcomed them in, and walked towards the sparsely populated backyard, "Miss, it's too dangerous for you and Mr. Xu to come here at this time."

Xu Jingyao is the son of Princess Huaining and is a key target of surveillance.

Yu Lian also knew the seriousness of the matter, and explained: "I saw him pitiful alone, so I took him to the secret path, and sent him back after seeing him."

Xia Que knew that she doted on Xu Jingyao, so she didn't say anything.

Several people passed by the winding corridor and walked to the innermost wing of the backyard. Xia Que knocked on the door once and twice, saying: "The path is warm and the grass is thick, and the mountains are clear and the flowers are more abundant. Princess Huaining, I am Xia Que."

There is a dark room in the wing room.

The two agreed that as long as Xia Que came here and knocked on the door without saying this code word, Yu Lan would hide in the dark room and not come out.

With a 'squeak', the door opened.

After several people entered, they closed the door and bolted it.

Yu Lan recognized her son at a glance, and wept with joy, "Shigou, why are you here? It's so dangerous outside, and you still ventured here, what should you do if someone from Dongchang finds out."

She was both happy and worried, and tears welled up in her eyes.Xu Jingyao comforted: "Mother, don't worry, Miss Lian and I walked the secret way, and we will go back quietly later. The people who are watching outside the mansion don't know about the secret way."

Yu Lan glanced gratefully at the girl disguised as a woman. This girl helped her a lot.
