Chapter 91
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Yu Qianyun’s affairs were not a secret in the Yu house, so in the evening, Ling’er heard the news and returned to report to Yu Linglong .
It turned out that Yu Qianyun was only a few months younger than Yu Linglong . Her biological mother was Lady Yu’s personal maid . Later, she was given to General Yu to give her a room . It stands to reason that this kind of maid would be helped when she was pregnant . Being a daughter of a commoner, Yu Qianyun’s biological mother also had the backing of Lady Yu . It was a certainty to help her aunt, but she was pushed back and forth by Mu s.h.i.+’s various reasons, and it had been delayed .
As soon as it was delayed, Yu Qianyun was born . Mu s.h.i.+ went to see a fortune teller for Yu Qianyun, but the result was that Yu Qianyun would be able to overcome her father and mother . She had to be fostered outside to resolve the disaster . Mu s.h.i.+ pretended to be embarra.s.sed and refused to call the shots . She told General Yu about the matter . General Yu was worried about the promotion . Hearing this, he refused to be careless and insisted on sending Yu Qianyun out of the house .
Upon hearing this news, Yu Qianyun’s birth mother was anxious and dragged her unhealed body to beg at Lady Yu, who tried to protect Yu Qianyun’s daughter and scolded General Yu and Mu s.h.i.+ . General Yu was very annoyed and vented all his grievances on Yu Qianyun’s birth mother . She was anxious and heartbroken . In addition, after receiving several punches from General Yu, she fell ill and died .
When Yu Qianyun’s biological mother died, it further verified the fortune teller’s words . A baby who had not yet reached the full moon killed her biological mother . General Yu had a good reason this time and was determined to send Yu Qianyun away . Lady Yu couldn’t hold him back, so she had to reluctantly agree .
Without the protection of her mother and the love of her father, Yu Qianyun was sent to a family in the country when she was a child . Although the Yu house sent a monthly donation, she lived in someone else’s home . Life in the capital was simply incomparable .
After listening to Ling’er’s words, Yu Linglong was not too surprised by General Yu’s ignorance . She thought that it must have been Mu s.h.i.+’s tricks behind him . The violent General Yu was just a weapon of Mu s.h.i.+’s .
The maid was given to General Yu by Lady Yu, who wanted status and power . How could the narrow-minded Mu s.h.i.+ allow such a person to stay with General Yu? Naturally, she wanted to get rid of it quickly .
Poor Yu Qianyun, who didn’t understand anything, was a victim of the struggle between the wives and concubines in the inner courtyard of the Yu Mansion . She left this unwarm home at a young age . If it weren’t for Lady Yu calling the shots, she would probably not be able to return to the Yu Mansion .
“The Fifth Lady’s life is really pitiful . They don’t even know what her mother looks like . In the past few years, when only the old lady was there, she picked her up from time to time for a year, and she was sent away again before the first month pa.s.sed . In the past few years, the old lady was absent, and no one mentioned it and no one thought about it . No one wants to take her back . ” Ling’er had experienced family hards.h.i.+ps and couldn’t help but sigh at what happened to the Fifth Lady .
Yu Linglong took a sip of her tea, and said lightly: “Everyone has their own life . This is nothing . ”
Although Yu Qianyun did not have the care of her relatives, she didn’t have to worry about food and clothing . There were many more poor people in this world, and Yu Linglong didn’t care about showing her kindness .
Looking at the tea leaves slowly floating in the teacup, Yu Linglong remembered seeing Yu Qianyun in the daytime, and probably had a preliminary understanding of her . It was not easy to come to live in someone else’s house, and she admired her . With her silent and careful character, just seeing how she always looked at other people’s faces, she knew that the family didn’t have much respect and care for her .
Ling’er poured some tea for Yu Linglong and said: “This time it’s fine . The old lady has spoken, and the Fifth Lady shouldn’t be sent away again!”
Yu Qianyun was not young anymore, and she had reached the age of marriage, and the daughter of the Yu house can’t just be thrown in the country like this . Lady Yu probably felt guilty for Yu Qianyun’s biological mother, so she thought about it . She took Yu Qianyun back and wanted to find a good marriage for her .
Yu Linglong blew the tea leaves and said, “Girl, now you are more and more in charge . If you have the time to think about other people’s things, it is better to think about yourself . ”
Xuan Cao put a plate of freshly peeled walnuts on the table and said with a smile: “Yes, the Fifth Lady is not in a hurry . There is still our lady on top of it!”
Yu Linglong sounded angry and laughed, and slapped a walnut kernel on Xuan Cao: “You two are getting bolder and stronger, you even dare to make arrangements!”
Ling’er covered her mouth with joy: “I didn’t say anything, Miss, don’t blame me . ”
Xuan Cao brushed the walnuts from her clothes and smiled: “You wench, always calling ‘sister, sister,’ as sweet as honey . Now you see me suffering and you think of yourself first . Don’t beg me for anything else!”
The two maids fought each other, but Yu Linglong seemed unheard of .
Looking at the bamboo shadow swaying outside the window, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but think of Yu Qianyun, who lowered her head and spoke carefully . Since she was a child, she has not been protected by relatives, and this girl’s life experience was indeed somewhat unfortunate .
This was the fate of ancient women . Everything can only be decided by the parents . To stay or not to stay is just a matter of family members’ opinions .
If she hadn’t possessed this body, perhaps this body was also the same .
She didn’t know if it was the luck or tragedy of this body .
…
Since the last time she met Palace Maid Liu in the garden, Yu Linglong had not taken this rigorous and rigid middle-aged woman to heart . As for the news that Mama Cui said, “The Palace Maid Liu was invited by the lady to teach her the rules,” she was completely deceived by her .
Therefore, when Mama Qian was ordered by the Mu s.h.i.+ to invite Yu Linglong to learn the rules at Pinlan Garden, Yu Linglong felt that this was a big joke .
Make her learn the rules? Was Mu s.h.i.+’s brain kicked by a donkey?
Mama Qian stood in front of Yu Linglong, hung her head deeply, tried to control her body not to tremble slightly, and said Mu s.h.i.+’s words carefully .
“…Madam said that the ladies are old, and it is good to learn some rules . The second lady, the third lady, the fifth lady, and the sixth lady are all going to learn…This, this is what the old lady meant . ”
Thinking of the entire Yu Mansion, Yu Linglong also had some respect for Lady Yu . Mama Qian quickly pushed Lady Yu in front of her as a s.h.i.+eld .
Yu Linglong unhurriedly slammed the teacup, and the soft noise of each porcelain collision sounded thrilling in Mama Qian’s ears .
After a while, Yu Linglong spoke leisurely: “I don’t know the rules . I’ll do whatever your mistress likes, but don’t bother me . ”
Seeing that Yu Linglong was not angry, Mama Qian was greatly relieved . Although she had known this result for a long time, it was a major event in the Yu house after all . Every lady who had not left the house must learn them . No matter what, she had to teach the Yu ladies how to behave .
When Yu Linglong said that, Mama Qian didn’t dare to stay any longer, so she agreed and left .
Yu Linglong originally thought that if she said so, the matter would end here, but she didn’t expect that Palace Maid Liu would find Pinlan Garden in person .
As soon as Lu Yun opened the door the next morning, she saw a middle-aged woman in a green satin coat standing at the door with a stern face, who had obviously been waiting for a long time .
Lu Yun was taken aback, and didn’t recognize who this person was, so she asked, “Are you looking for our fourth lady?”
Palace Maid Liu’s face was frosty, and she asked in a deep voice, “Has the Fourth Lady gotten up yet?”
Lu Yun didn’t serve in the house . After hearing this, she didn’t know how to answer, and she didn’t know where Palace Maid Liu came from, so she said: “Please wait a moment, I will ask . ”
The Palace Maid Liu nodded: “Just say my last name is Liu . ”
Lu Yun turned back to the room and asked in a low voice outside the curtain, “Has the young lady got up yet?”
Xuan Cao in the room said: “Not yet, what’s the matter?”
Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, and said, “There is a maid named Liu who has come to see the Fourth Lady . ”
“A maid surnamed Liu?” Xuan Cao raised the curtain and walked out, afraid that Yu Linglong would be noisy . “Which maid is named Liu?”
Lu Yun said: “I don’t recognize her either . The way she looked, I was too scared to ask . ”
Lu Yun was born into the family, and she didn’t recognize her, and Xuan Cao didn’t even know where Palace Maid Liu was from, so she said: “Let her wait outside until the lady gets up . ”
Besides Mama Liu, even Mama Cui and Mama Qian next to Mu s.h.i.+ in the mansion still had to stand and talk in Pinlan Garden . Yu Linglong was such a powerful mistress, and Xuan Cao would not serve this maid Liu, who she didn’t know where she came from .
Lu Yun also knew Yu Linglong’s temper, and when she got the answer, she walked out the door and said to Palace Maid Liu: “Our young lady hasn’t gotten up yet . Please wait here, and wait for the young lady to get up before going in to reply . ”
When Palace Maid Liu heard this, her face suddenly changed to anger . Since she was a teaching female maid who came from the palace, n.o.body would dare disrespect her, even if it was Mu s.h.i.+, she had to give her a bit of face, but this shameless lady would not only make her wait but also didn’t even invite her in .
Palace Maid Liu completely relied on her years of self-cultivation and she did not break out on the spot . She stood outside Pinlan Garden, and as time pa.s.sed by bit by bit, her face became more and more ugly .
The sun gradually heated up, and Yu Linglong finally woke up .
There were no entertainment activities in ancient times, and she didn’t have to go to the houses and courtyards to ask for help . She woke up naturally almost every day . Of course, no one in the Yu house dared to disturb her sleep .
When Yu Linglong was was.h.i.+ng her face, Xuan Cao told Lu Yun’s words to Yu Linglong: “There is a maid Liu, who came early in the morning and wants to see you . ”
Yu Linglong took the handkerchief and wiped her face . After all, she didn’t remember who Palace Maid Liu was, and she didn’t take it to heart, and said casually, “Then let her in . ”
At this time, Palace Maid Liu had been standing outside for more than half an hour . Even though it was not yet noon, the sun was still quite poisonous . She had waited outside for so long, her face was dripping with sweat, her lipstick and the rouge on her cheeks had melted away, and the buns that were combed so perfectly were not messy, but they were wet, they seemed to be just washed, and you couldn’t tell whether it was from oil or sweat .

This Palace Maid Liu, no matter how educated she was, couldn’t help feeling extremely bad .
When she heard that Yu Linglong invited her in, she didn’t speak, and just raised her foot and entered Pinlan Garden .
Yu Linglong was sitting in front of the dressing table while Xuan Cao combed her long hair, and heard a voice that was obviously suppressing anger and said in a deep voice: “Good morning, Fourth Lady . I am the Palace Maid Liu . ”
Yu Linglong looked behind her from the bronze mirror and saw that she was from the Palace . Only then did she know who the Liu was that Xuan Cao said . It turned out that she was this rigid middle-aged woman .
Upon hearing Palace Maid Liu’s words, Yu Linglong raised her mouth slightly and smiled disdainfully .
Why was she trying to sound so imposing? Was she afraid of Yu Linglong?
Without moving her body, Yu Linglong retracted her gaze in the mirror and said coldly: “What’s the matter, please say it!”
Palace Maid Liu saw Yu Linglong was not only incapable of welcoming her, but also too lazy to even look back at her, and finally, she couldn’t restrain her anger .
Which of the other ladies in the house was not respectful to her? Even the Sixth Lady who came out with her parents greeted her with smiles .
