Concubine like a house

Chapter 199 Extra Story: Concubine's heart is like a journey, gathering and dispersing silently (2)
"My lord is really kind to you." Yue Wan teased without holding back when Shen Yu got out of the car.

Chuxiu didn't show any weakness, and asked her instead: "Do you hate getting married? It's time to find you a husband's family."

"No, no!" Yue Wan immediately shook her head and waved her hands, and hurriedly said, "I still plan to go to the Northland with you!"

"That's fine, the general of the Northland is bold and open-minded, and his temperament is more suitable for you. Let your senior brother find a good one for you." Since Yue Wan recognized Miracle Doctor Qu as her foster father, Shen Yu was naturally her senior brother.

The two women teased each other for a while, and Zhu Ying became more and more embarrassed, so she simply took the driver's place and sat on the driver's seat in front of the car.The three of them returned to Liuyun Villa to rest for one night, and the next day, they set off to return to Yanlan City.

On the day of returning from Xiuxiu, Shen Yu entered the court and was granted the title, officially becoming the first prince with a different surname since the founding of the Daling Dynasty.

From Lord Shen Xiaohou all the way to King Weiyuan, he really realized what it means to be "warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold".When he was in trouble, there were very few people who were willing to mediate for him, except for King Cheng Nie Peixiao, King Jingyi and all the generals of the Northern Region, and the ministers in the court avoided them for fear of being too late.

But now that he has been rehabilitated and crowned king, these people who are in power have come to congratulate him one after another, but the people who worked for him at that time were nowhere to be seen.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow.After several ups and downs, Shen Yu finally saw through the matter, and thanked all those who came to show his kindness.He is about to go to the north, so there is no need to maintain these complicated relationships in his official career.

Shen Yu made a special trip to Prince Jingyi's mansion to thank him, and gave Meng Hui a generous gift.Afterwards, he began to prepare for his appointment. Of course, the most important thing was to draw up the dowry list and go to Yunfu to propose marriage.

The time passed very quickly, and it was June in a blink of an eye, and there were only four or five days left before the "departure for the post within one month's deadline" required by the Emperor Tianshou.And Shen Yu finally got everything ready, and just as he said, in order to marry Chuxiu, he was "lost and broke".

When leaving, he only brought a few of the most expensive dowry gifts, while the rest of the large boxes and cages were sent by the steward of the Weiyuan Palace.Holding the dowry list, Shen Yu led a group of generals from the North to Fangzhou to propose marriage.

When he came to Yanlan City again, he could finally feel the high-spirited feeling. At the age of 28, he had experienced all kinds of ups and downs in life.

Before Shen Yu and his party entered the city, the Yun Manor had received the news, and Yun Cheng and Yun Xian went to meet outside the city gate in person.When the three of them talked about the people and things they had encountered in these years, they were all filled with emotion.

Entering the South City Gate, the four white marble archways stand solemnly as before, shining crystal luster under the reflection of the sun-loyalty, honesty, charity, chastity, telling the great achievements and glory of the Yun family for hundreds of years.

While driving the horse through it, Shen Yu suddenly thought of Yunci again, and being grateful, he couldn't help but hold the dowry list in his arms tighter, and his determination to take care of Chuxiu became firmer.

The generals of the Northland were all new to Yanlan City, and they were all dumbfounded by the magnificence and luxury of Lixinhou's Mansion. Shen Yu asked Yun Xian to take them around, and he followed Zhuying to Rongjin Hall.

After all, this is Yunfu, and Chuxiu is Mrs. Xie's daughter-in-law after all, so Shen Yu decided to meet Mrs. Tai first, and he was not in a hurry to go to Zhiyanxuan to meet Chuxiu to comfort the pain of lovesickness.

While standing outside the door waiting for the transmission, Shen Yu couldn't hold back his anxiety, lest Mrs. Xie would suddenly change her mind.

"This kid is finally here? Let him get out!" Mrs. Tai's words seemed to be joking, but she was not angry.

Hearing the long-lost voice of her old man, Shen Yu immediately cheered up and strode forward.Unexpectedly, after entering the house, I found that Chuxiu was also in it, kneeling down and listening respectfully.

"I've seen Mrs. Tai!" Shen Yu quickly stepped forward and knelt beside Chuxiu's body, and kowtowed heavily.

"You came just in time, I was lecturing Chuxiu." Mrs. Tai obviously had no expression on her face, but there was some deep meaning hidden in those sharp eyes.She stretched out her right hand straight to Shen Yu, and asked bluntly: "Where is the bill? Let's take a look first, otherwise we won't talk about it!"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment before he understood what Mrs. Tai was referring to. He quickly took out the betrothal gift form from his bosom, held it up with both hands and offered it to it, and said in his mouth, "I'm so hot in my bosom, a true heart can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

The red gold filigree bracelet on Mrs. Tai's wrist flashed, almost catching Shen Yu's eyes.She took the gift list neatly, squinted her eyes to scan it, and said rather dissatisfied: "The characters are so small? Don't you know that my eyes are blurry?"

Mrs. Tai held the list a little further away as she spoke, frowning and looking carefully.

When Shen Yu saw this, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly explained: "There are too many things, and I am afraid that the gift list will not fit, so I made the words smaller."

Mrs. Tai snorted coldly, and said again: "There are not too many things, only a few things barely catch the eye."

"You are used to the wealth and honor in the world, so of course this kind of thing can't catch your eyes." Shen Yu paused, and then flattered him, "If you say that the house is full of gold and jade, who can compare to Yun's?"

This sentence made Mrs. Tai very useful, so she slowly closed the gift list, and replied to Shen Yu: "You will not suffer. There is no reason to lose money if you marry my Yun family?"

Shen Yu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and Chuxiu watched from the side, laughing in his heart.

Mrs. Tai thought for a while, and felt more and more unwilling, and said to Shen Yu mercilessly: "You have such ordinary qualifications, you are lucky to be a prince, and you want to marry my daughter-in-law. You have taken all the luck in the world! Oh my god! unfair!"

When she said the last sentence, several people in the room thought of Yunci at the same time.yes!How unfair the sky is, let such an amazingly talented person die young, this is also the deepest regret of the entire Yun family.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu felt the most guilty, so he kowtowed heavily to Mrs. Tai, and said: "You are Wan Zhi's mother, and you are so kind to Han Chu, I will definitely regard you as my own mother, and I will support you until the end of my life."

"That sounds good!" Mrs. Tai didn't appreciate it very much, "I have a high status and don't need to be 'served'; I'm rich and honored and don't need to be 'raised', how do you want to 'support me until I grow old'?"

When Shen Yu heard the words, he really didn't know how to respond.

Mrs. Tai sighed, and said again: "Come on, when I am a hundred years old, you and Chuxiu can come back and dress me in mourning."

"You must live a long life!" This time before Shen Yu could speak, Chuxiu had already replied.

Mrs. Tai sneered: "If you live a hundred years, you must die, and you will never survive a hundred and one."

Hearing Mrs. Tai talking about this unlucky topic, Shen Yu pretended to interrupt inadvertently, and then asked cautiously: "Mrs. Tai, since you have prepared a dowry for Han Chu, have you also arranged a new identity for her? Yes Married as Yun's daughter?"

"No! She will marry as a native of Xiu." Madam Tai's expression suddenly became serious, and she replied to Shen Yu, "If you have the courage, you can marry my daughter-in-law openly. I want the world to know that the entire Yunfu is Chuxiu's backing! Whoever dares to bully her in the slightest, my old woman will not let her go lightly!"

It should be the first time in hundreds of years that the former housewife remarried openly. Looking at the Yun family.

"Mrs. Tai!" Shen Yu was really shocked, and asked back in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid of ruining Yun's reputation?"

"Who dares?" Mrs. Tai's eyes froze, and she asked forcefully.

"That chastity arch..." Shen Yu hesitated.

"Isn't that archway for me?" Mrs. Tai straightened her body and asked him provocatively, "You didn't see the inscription by Ye Yingfei when she was alive, but you didn't see it when you entered the city. Marry Hanchu?"

"No! No matter who she is, I'm determined to marry her!" Shen Yu immediately confessed.

"Then it's over." Mrs. Tai nodded and sighed again, "I'm really at a loss!"

Several people have talked so far, Chuxiu is the one who moved the most. At this moment, her eyes are hot and she wants to choke up: "Mother..."

Presumably no one would have imagined that Mrs. Xie, who cared most about glory and face the most in the past, would let her daughter-in-law openly remarry, and would not be afraid of the world's gossip.Mrs. Tai has really changed!Chuxiu had a meeting with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she knew her personality best, so the touch was even more profound.

Chuxiu was afraid that if he opened his mouth again, he would reveal the abnormality of his voice, so he could only purse his lips tightly, and kowtowed together with Shen Yu to express his thanks.

"Stop knocking, I'm not all for you." Mrs. Tai waved her hands at the two, "I'm for my son."

Speaking of Yun Ci, everyone present was speechless, and the room was gradually surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere.

On the contrary, Mrs. Tai seemed calm, and sighed to Shen Yu: "If it is only about selfishness, I would not want to go out of Xiu and remarry. But this is Ci'er's last wish. I have been a widow for half my life, and I know the hard work... In the future, you will be good. Wait for her."

"Don't worry." Even Shen Yu, the man of steel, wanted to cry at this moment.Fortunately, Mrs. Tai did not continue, and said a little tiredly: "I have accepted the gift list, and I will not worry about the marriage. Both of you have no parents, so keep everything simple."

Speaking of Gaotang, Shen Yu had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly came up with an idea: "Mrs. Tai! Hanchu and I can worship you as Gaotang!"

"What do you want me to do?" Mrs. Tai seemed to have no interest in this, "Go and worship your master. You will be a teacher for a day and a father for life, not to mention that he has no heirs, so he expects you to take care of him until the end of his life."

Seeing Mrs. Tai refused straight away, Shen Yu didn't force her too much.He knew that he was far away from Yunci, and he might not be able to fall into Madam Tai's eyes, so he got up and said goodbye: "Then you rest first, Hanchu and I will come back to see you."

"Yeah." Mrs. Tai stroked her forehead, and said to Chi's mother, "Go and see them off for me."

"Yes." Mother Chi took the order, leading Shen Yu and Chuxiu to leave.

Originally, the three of them had nothing to say on the road, until they reached the Rongjin Hall's hanging flower arch, and then Mama Chi smiled slowly: "Congratulations, my lord."

Shen Yu cupped his hands in return: "It's all thanks to Mrs. Tai, if she doesn't nod, I won't be able to marry either."

Chi's mother showed a hidden smile, and said again: "Actually, Mrs. Tai treats you well."

"Well, I know. Her old man treats me with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

"Then do you know why?" Chi's mother put on a show.

"Because of holding it?" Shen Yu looked at Chuxiu beside him, and added, "Or because of Han Chu?"

"No, it's because of your master." Chi's mother gave the answer, "Master Qu is Mrs. Tai's natal cousin. He has never married in his life, as long as you are filial to him."

Only then did Shen Yu and Chuxiu suddenly realize that the former quickly made a promise: "Please tell Mrs. Tai that I, Shen Yu, have no father or mother now, so I will be filial to my master."

Mother Chi smiled when she heard the words, and turned back to Rongjin Hall without saying a word.

Looking at Chi Mama's back, Shen Yu murmured, "So the master is Mrs. Tai's cousin."

"I didn't expect that either." Chu Xiufu sighed softly, "I thought Doctor Qu simply loved his mother."

At this point, the two tacitly stopped talking, to save some face and respect for the two elders.But they all know that Mrs. Tai and Dr. Qu must have a lingering and bitter love story.It's just that the process of the story is not very good, and the ending is even worse.

"It seems that I have to be filial to my master." Shen Yu looked at Chuxiu tenderly, "I am much luckier than him."

When they came out of Rongjin Hall, both Shen Yu and Chuxiu's state of mind changed, they became more peaceful, more grateful, and knew how to cherish all this hard-won.

Life and death are not distances, and yin and yang are not separated. Some categories of love and righteousness have already surpassed the death of the body, and will last forever in the hearts of the living.

Shen Yu understood that Yun Ci was irreplaceable.The white-clothed man who looked like a banished fairy was also his savior, and he deserved to be grateful and miss him all his life.That being the case, why not miss it with Chuxiu?Everything between him and her was actually given by Yun Ci.

He couldn't grasp Chuxiu's afterlife and the afterlife, so he cherished this life more and more, and he would spend the rest of his time getting to know her, accompany her, and cuddle each other.

"Are you tired?" Shen Yu asked with concern.Just now when he came out of Rongjin Hall and knelt down to listen to the training, as soon as he thought about it, Shen Yu felt distressed.

"I'm not tired." Chu Xiuqing replied with a slight smile, "On the contrary, you are the one who has not stopped all the way, so you should take a good rest."

"I'm happy without stopping!" Shen Yu said with infinite emotion, "These ten years are really like a dream. I always feel that it's unreal, and I'm afraid that when I wake up, everything will be gone."

Chuxiu didn't answer, her beautiful eyes blinked lightly, as if she was recalling the past.

The two returned to Zhiyanxuan all the way, although they were silent to each other, some emotions had settled down, and they had a tacit understanding.

As soon as I walked to the hanging flower arch of Zhiyanxuan, I heard Yue Wan rushing to report: "Ma'am! The second concubine heard that the prince came to Yanlan City, crying and making noise in the other courtyard, insisting on seeing the prince ..."

"See me?" Shen Yu was very calm, "Now I have nothing to do with Yun Xiangrong, what does she see me for?"

Yue Wan shrugged her shoulders, with a determined look: "It must be pleading for the eldest lady!" Speaking of this, she remembered something again, and added, "By the way, Min'er was lost the day before yesterday and was hugged by someone at night. gone."

"Min'er lost?" Chuxiu was very surprised, with a hint of doubt on his beautiful face, "No matter how bad the guards in the other courtyard are, they won't let Min'er be robbed, right?"

Yue Wan shook her head: "Who knows, I only heard about it this morning."

Hearing this sentence, Chuxiu felt a little sad.Although Min'er was not Shen Yu's blood, she was also born of Yun Xiangrong, and she was regarded as the younger half master in Yun's residence.But she was kidnapped the day before yesterday, and Yue Wan only heard about it this morning. It can be seen how miserable the second room is, and even the servants dare to neglect them.

What's more, the child is innocent, Min'er is just a little baby girl.

Chuxiu lowered her eyes and sighed softly, Shen Yu saw the dejected look in her eyes.He could guess what Chuxiu was thinking, and seeing no one else around, he said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry, Min'er is not lost...I asked Qingyi to take her away."

"Really?" Chuxiu asked immediately.

"Do I dare to lie to you?" Shen Yu said frankly to Chuxiu, "Qingyi is Min'er's uncle, and it is only natural to take this child away. Although Min'er is not my flesh and blood, I watched the birth anyway. I can't ruin her. Rather than staying with Huashi, I hope Min'er will follow Qingyi, at least not to be bad."

"You are very thoughtful." Chuxiu agreed with a smile.

When mentioning Min'er and Hua Wuying, one has to mention Yun Xiangrong.Shen Yu originally didn't want to ask about her fate, but he still couldn't hold back and asked, "How did Mrs. Tai deal with Xiangrong?"

"I will be imprisoned in the punishment hall for life." Chuxiu replied.

"It's just confinement?" Shen Yu frowned, apparently feeling that the punishment was too light, "She is full of tricks, don't run away again."

"This confinement is not that confinement." Chuxiu explained, "The prison door was sealed with copper water, and only a small window was left to pass food... She will never come out again in her whole life."

"This method looks like Mrs. Tai came up with it... Xiangrong made it on her own." Shen Yu made such an evaluation.

Hearing this, Yue Wan also hastily said: "You don't know about Missy's recent situation! I don't even have the nerve to tell Madam..." She looked around and said in a low voice, "She's pregnant again. "

"Yun Xiangrong is pregnant again? How is this possible?" Chuxiu asked in surprise.

"It's absolutely true." Yue Wan lowered her voice for another three minutes, and replied, "The prison door is sealed, and the doctor can't get in, so we can only ask her to come out and make a diagnosis. I heard it took more than three months, do the math." Days are also the seeds of bright and rebellious."

"Ming Ni" refers to Ming Zhang, who got such a title because he was decreed by the emperor to exterminate his family.

It seemed reasonable that Yun Xiangrong was pregnant with Mingzhang's child again, but Chuxiu still felt something was wrong, so she asked Shen Yu for confirmation: "I remember you said before that it would be very difficult for her to conceive a second child."

"My diagnosis at the beginning was definitely not wrong." Shen Yu frowned again, and said after a while, "Yun Xiangrong is full of tricks, maybe she did something at that time to deliberately disturb my diagnosis, so as to win sympathy."

"Maybe." Chuxiu still felt unbelievable.

Suddenly, she thought of a more important matter - the cell door had been sealed with copper water, and outsiders could not get in, so what should Yun Xiangrong do when she gives birth?If no one took care of her, wouldn't she just die?

"Does Mrs. Tai know about this? What does the old man say?" Chuxiu couldn't help asking again.
