C484 Just a beggar (1/2)
In the afternoon, Auntie Xiao had Senior Servant Sun take a look around to confirm that it was a good time. She immediately rushed out of the courtyard and prepared to escape from the West Courtyard.
”Where are you in such a hurry to go, Auntie Xiao?”
However, just as Aunt Xiao reached the west yard's entrance, she was stopped by a mocking voice. She saw Madame Zhao lean on the door and inadvertently shake her hand. The golden bracelet on her wrist flickered, causing Aunt Xiao to squint her eyes —
”Aunt Zhao, why did you have to go through so much trouble with me for the sake of a young miss? You and I are aunts, and the young miss has given you benefits, but in her eyes, you are nothing more than a servant.” Auntie Xiao said.
”Bah!” Aunt Zhao laughed coldly. ”With your current character, you want to sow discord and obediently go back to your room to be nurtured. If you can have a healthy child, maybe I can save you once.”
This Madame Zhao had been completely submissive to his orders, so how could she have been provoked by these few words? As a result, Aunt Xiao's face turned red, then white, but helplessly, and could only bitterly return to her room.
She sat in the dimly lit room and caressed her fake belly. A resolute look appeared in her eyes as she muttered, ”I'm afraid that I can only rely on you to save Shiya's life now.”
There was still one more person she could use — Dong mama, you must take the risk!
”Aiyo, aiyo …” Not long later, a painful groan came from Auntie Xiao's room.
When the other concubines heard the sound, they all ran over and stuck their heads in. They saw Auntie Xiao lying on the bed with her hands on her stomach, her face filled with pain.
Because it was a fake pregnancy, no matter what happened, Xiao Xian Min never dared to say that her stomach was hurting, for fear that it would be exposed. But now, there was nowhere left to go, so she had to take this risky move.
Sun mama, on the other hand, squatted down in front of her anxiously and spun around in circles. ”Aunt, what's wrong?”
”Quick, call the original Dong mama from Clear Spring Academy over. Go quickly.” Auntie Xiao winked at Senior Servant Sun and continued moaning in pain.
”What's wrong? He's really angry. It's not easy at all.” Aunt Zhao pushed aside the concubines and walked in.
”Auntie Zhao, Auntie Xiao is already like this. Please have mercy on her, she's a woman.” Senior Servant Sun really wanted to go up and beat up this Aunt Zhao, but as the head of the West Branch, she could not afford to offend her. She could only hold her anger in as she spoke.
Aunt Zhao's expression changed. ”Then go call that Dong mama over. If anything happens, we don't need to shoulder this responsibility in the West Branch.”
Very quickly, Dong mama was called over. Madam Xiao ordered Sun mama to close the door and spoke to her for a full hour before coming out.
Aunt Zhao's ear was still pressed against the door, but she didn't hear anything.
But after Dong mama left, Aunt Xiao seemed much more relaxed and even smiled twice. She was even more confused now.
When she ran over and reacted to the Eldest Miss's question, the Eldest Miss could only say one thing: The crossbow was too strong, and the arrow could not pierce through the unicorn.
The next day, a quiet and luxurious sedan was brought out from the Prime Minister's Palace. Lian Yue carried the palanquin in her hand.
Lian Ruyue's departure was due to an appointment at Jiuhua Temple with Shang Shu Manor's Liu Xiren. After spring, she married Vice Minister Liu's second son, Liu Li. This time, they had an appointment to go to Jiuhua Temple together to pray for blessings.
When they arrived at Jiuhua Temple, Liu Xiren's palanquin was already waiting for them at the entrance.
”Moon Like …” When Liu Xi saw Lian Yue, he called out. Her face was rosy and her mouth had a hint of spring. Her bun from before had already been replaced by a woman's bun. She also seemed a bit more round —
”Awesome.” Lian Ruyue walked over, and the two of them walked side by side towards the Nine Flower Temple's Baohua Hall. ”It looks like you are doing very well.”
A smile appeared on Liu Xiren's face as he said, ”Liu Liyang really treats me very well. He is very considerate and considerate. When we go out today, he even specially sent some maids to pick me up from the temple.”
To be able to do so, it was indeed a good feat.
Their maidservants and wives were following behind them from a distance.
”Oh right, I just saw Xiao Rou's palanquin. It should be here to pray for good fortune for my wedding to the Fourth Prince. I heard that Xiao Rou's intention was to make a big fuss. Right now, the entire capital was talking about their marriage, ah … ” Saying that, Liu Xi sighed.
”What are you sighing for?” Lian Ruyue smiled.
The reason for the marriage between the handsome and handsome Fourth Prince, who is one of the most beautiful men in the capital, and Xiao Rou is extremely terrifying. I really don't know if this is a marriage or a tragic case, and I don't know if I should be happy for the Fourth Prince or feel sorry for him. Liu Xi shook his head and said.
Lian Ruyue did not say anything. With a faint smile on her face, she continued to walk up the mountain with Liu Xi Ren.
At this moment, a grey-black figure moved out from behind the tree in the distance. A pair of venomous eyes fell on Lian Ruyue's body.
Lian Ruyue, I finally caught you.
The two of them went to Baohua great hall, where the temple's Jiufang was personally receiving them, praying, kowtowing, donating the fragrant oil money, drawing the lots, drawing the lots, etc. Liu Xiren drew a good lot, the gist of it was that she would have more sons than blessings, after listening to the text of the lot, she was overjoyed, and immediately donated a portion of the fragrant oil money.
”Ru Yue, why don't you draw a lot of lots. Since you've come, why haven't you come personally?” Liu Xi Ren said to Lian Xiyue.
Lian Ruyue smiled. She did not believe in fate, but since it was fine to draw lots and look, she said, ”Thank you, Mister Fang.”
