General Yu turned and got off his horse. He glanced majestically at the approaching children, frowning slightly: “Where is everyone?”

Mu s.h.i.+ secretly gritted her teeth, wasn’t she important?

Although she was silently cursing, Mu s.h.i.+ laughed and said, “Qianjiao and Qianfang are both sick, so I didn’t let them come out. After a few days, they will recover. I will ask them to greet the master.”

General Yu’s gaze fell on Concubine Dong, and suddenly he remembered someone: “Where is Yuan’er?”

Mu s.h.i.+ carelessly said: “The boy Yuan is still young. He waited in the wind for most of the day, and he just went to eat.”

General Yu snorted with dissatisfaction. He hadn’t been home for three years, but Yu Weiyuan, his son, refused to wait a while. Is there something more important than welcoming his father?

When Mu s.h.i.+ heard General Yu’s cold snort, the smile at the corner of her mouth raised a little, while Concubine Dong stood cowering behind Mu s.h.i.+, not daring to say a word. Of course, she didn’t dare say that Yu Weiyuan was allowed to go eat. Besides, even if he did, Yu Weiyuan was nothing more than a son of a concubine.

At this moment, Yu Weide, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and bowed respectfully: “The son has seen his father.”

Seeing the other concubine’s son, General Yu looked a little better: “I haven’t seen you in a few years, but you have grown a lot taller. How are your studies going now?”

Yu Weide replied: “I don’t dare forget my lessons. I’ve just read the Spring and Autumn Annals.”

General Yu nodded in recognition, and asked casually: “Why didn’t your aunt come out, is she sick again?”

Yu Weide’s body trembled slightly, and his face instantly became pale: “My aunt, she…”

Mu s.h.i.+ didn’t seem to notice Yu Weide’s abnormality and finished: “Master, Aunt Lan fell ill after you left. I hired the best doctor for her, who knows how long she’s been gone…”

General Yu paused and turned to look at Mu s.h.i.+: “What? Lan’er is gone?”

Mu s.h.i.+ sighed with regret: “Yes, it’s unfortunate that she was young but had tuberculosis, so she just left us.”

While she was talking, he lowered his head, took out a kerchief, and wiped the corners of his eyes.

General Yu was silent for a moment and said, “Fine.”

No one noticed, but Yu Weide on the side bit his lip tightly.

The group of people surrounding General Jade were deep in thought. Just as they were about to enter the door, they only heard a delicate voice behind them: “Master.”

Mu s.h.i.+ couldn’t help frowning, but she reached out in a flash and turned around together with General Yu.

They saw the black canopy carriage that came with General Yu had already parked in front of the gate, and a little maid jumped out of the car and jumped off the footstool quickly, and the curtains were raised: “Aunt, slow down.”

Speaking to the concubine, Mu s.h.i.+ and Concubine Dong changed their expressions. Their eyes were like knives, and they looked sharply at the carriage.

A white hand stretched out from the carriage and reached towards the little maid. Just by looking at this hand that slightly pointed a finger, you could imagine how charming the person in the carriage was. Sure enough, a beautiful face like spring flowers appeared. She then exposed her lips slightly, and said softly to General Yu, “Master, where should we put my carriage?”

After Mu s.h.i.+ heard this, the fingers hidden in her sleeves suddenly clenched.

It was clear that she was the mistress of the house. This woman surnamed Mei entered the mansion for the first time. Not only did she not get out of the car to pay respects, but she only talked to General Yu, of course, as if she didn’t see her. With this att.i.tude, how would she treat the lady in charge!?
