C18 (1/2)
”Old master, I've missed you!”
Yu Mi looked at the two, who looked numb all over, then walked towards the backyard; but was blocked by Second Aunt who had her stomach raised, looked at Yu Mi proudly and said: ”Third Miss, you will have a little brother soon!”
Yu Mi squinted her eyes and stared at her stomach, and snorted a few times at the end: ”That's not necessarily true, right? If you were not careful and gave birth to a shameless bastard, where do you think your dad would put his face? ”
”Qin Yumi, who are you calling a lowly bastard?”
”What do you think?”
”Master, listen carefully; Third Miss is cursing us, Xuan Er, and is even cursing the child in my womb …”
Without waiting for Kieran to scold him, Yu Mi sneered and looked at Second Aunt with disdain, saying sarcastically, ”I've seen people picking up food and drinking, but I've never seen anyone picking up curses! It seems like he really has fallen for it! ”
”Mi Er, you're not allowed to speak such nonsense?”
”What is it? Did father forget the empress's words again? Then, do you want Mi Er to go back and request for an imperial edict to hang on your head? ”
”Lord Qin, I didn't expose your lie in front of the empress. We should be the same, right?”
”You unfilial daughter!”
Unfortunately, Yu Mi was not listening to him at all; she walked towards the backyard with large strides.
The sounds of the wooden fish made Yu Mi's expression turn cold. When she saw Senior Servant Zhuo walking out of his mother's room with a sigh and an almost untouched dish in her hand, she raised her head and saw Yu Mi. Only then did she have a trace of a smile on her face.
”Third Miss, you're back.”
”Mm, mama, what are you doing?” ”My mother, she …”
”Sigh, West Crossing Courtyard is pregnant again. Master will do whatever he says to her. Mistress is currently dispirited; if it were not for Eldest Young Master and you, I'm afraid you would have left this dirty place long ago.”
Yu Mi nodded, she extended her hand and received the plate, and said in a low voice: ”Grandma, it's good that I'm here!”
Quietly opening the door, he saw a loose piece of clothing covering his mother's frail body. In his hand was a buddhist pearl, and he said with reason: ”Buddha is merciful, bless my son Yu Feng to the skies; bless my daughter Yu Mi to find a good man …”
Yu Mi choked with sobs, hugged his mother from behind, and said in a low voice: ”Mother, don't worry; I will definitely not let them do as they wish. If they put pain on your body, I will take it back from them bit by bit!”
First Lady turned around and said: ”Mi Er, don't mess around, now that the West Crossing Courtyard's woman is pregnant, if you touch her, I'm afraid your father will not let you off!”
”Mother, do you think he would dare to touch me? Furthermore, if I want to make that woman in trouble, why should I do it myself? ”
First Lady looked at Yu Mi, and felt that compared to before, her daughter was less innocent, and had an additional calmness that even she was afraid of … Absolutely!
Night fell, and a burst of fragrance assaulted the nose, Shu Yu laughed and said: ”Young miss, the Night Fragrance in the courtyard has opened.”
Yu Mi raised her eyes and stared at the mirror, and said without much emotion: ”It's only a flash in the pan.”
”Miss, your hairpin has loosened. I'll get someone to fix it for you tomorrow!”
His heart skipped a beat. Flower hairpin? What Mo Liangchen had said today …
He reached out his hands to receive the hairpin and a small bell appeared above the five petal flower. Yu Mi took it off and shook the bell, but it seemed to be stuffed with something as Yu Mi continued to turn the bell …
In the middle of the slip of paper was Yu Mi opened it … The corner of her mouth curled up slightly. This damn fox who was purposely mystifying things.
In the following days, Yu Mi stayed by his mother's side the whole time. She saw that the science exam that his mother was talking about was about to come, and then looked at her big brother who seemed to be lacking in interest …
That night, the dining table was still filled with three cold people, and the male owner of the house was still guarding West Crossing Courtyard with extreme gentleness. Looking at his mother's increasingly thin chin, Yu Mi sighed, and thought it might be a good thing if his mother could see that person clearly earlier, or at least … With his heart dead, he would no longer have any illusions about those kinds of people.
After eating dinner, Qin Yufeng took the chance to leave as he saw his mother talking about the Imperial examinations again … Yu Mi also quietly followed behind.
”Big brother …”
”Mi Er? You called me? ”
”Big brother …” You don't intend to take the Imperial examinations at all? ”
