She turned around and glanced at Lian Xiyue. Beside her was that mysterious maidservant, Green Branch (Leng Mei), who extended her hand high and mighty, as well as a few strong guards and an even more arrogant man in black. She recognized this person; he was the Ninth Prince's personal bodyguard, and he came and went without a trace.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "What if I don't want to leave?"
"Pah!" "Don't be so shameless if I give you face, our eldest miss will personally bring you home and that will be your good fortune. It's your honor to kneel on the ground and thank me, and you even dare to give our eldest miss face. See if I'll beat you to death."
The Xiao family staggered two steps after being slapped by this tiger. She suddenly raised her head.
"What? Haven't you fought enough?" Taixu's round eyes opened wide as she replied.
"You …" When the Xiao family saw how heartless and cold-blooded Ru Yue was, they knew that she had to go today. If she didn't want to, she had to.
However …
"Let's go, Auntie Xiao." Senior Servant Tai reached out a hand to give them a push. The Xiao clan had no choice but to follow behind Lian Ruyue's carriage.
"Senior Servant Tai, take it easy. Don't let her get pregnant." Lian Yue's voice came from the carriage in front.
The Xiao family returned to the Residence of Prime Minister, but they didn't go through the front door. They went through the back door, and the first thing they did was to get a row of maids to prepare a brazier and water for them.
He had also made it clear that even if the house was filled up in the future, the concubine wouldn't be his equal, but she could be called concubine.
Then, Senior Servant Tai led her to the west courtyard and opened a narrow door. "This is the place I've arranged for you. From now on, you'll be staying here to recuperate."
"I'm carrying a child. Aren't you guys afraid that it will be bad for my fetus if you let me live in this place?" "Since you're asking me to come back, I'm afraid that the madame will still recognize the child in my womb."
"Ha!" Senior Servant Tai let out a cold laugh and said, "Eldest Miss said Auntie Xiao's child is very strong. There shouldn't be a problem, so Auntie Xiao should just take a good rest."
Senior Serving her well. If something goes wrong, you'll be buried in the Lian family for the rest of your life. "
As she watched Senior Servant Tai's domineering back, Sun mama stamped her feet and looked at this simple and crude place. She began to regret that she hadn't given in to the Duke of Guo's words in the first place.
Madam Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, clenching her fists tightly. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Aiyo, who the hell am I? So it's' Madam '. What, especially unwilling to part with this place, did she come back again?" A woman in bright red was standing in the doorway, leaning against the door frame.
Madam Xiao looked coldly at her old nemesis, Aunt Zhao, and pursed her lips in silence.
She pushed Senior Servant Sun, who had been trying to block her way, away and said, "Yo, you probably don't know your own identity, right? I know you're only a shameful house filling in now, originally abandoned by the old master as the eldest miss. You went to the old mistress to beg for mercy and have you return to the palace to give birth to a child. You're much more lowly than I am now."
With that, Madame Zhao pushed her away. "Get up and stand, let me sit."
"Aunt Zhao, don't be too pleased with yourself. Feng Shui is in your turn." The Xiao family gritted their teeth and stood up.
Aunt Zhao crossed her arms over her chest and shook the scarlet gold bracelet on her wrist. She blew on the scarlet Pill Kou and said, "I just brought you here again …"
"You!" The Xiao Clan member was so angry that his face turned pale.
"Go, pour me some tea." Auntie Zhao used her toes to kick Madam Xiao's calves.
"Auntie, let this servant handle this." Sun mama walked over and said while licking her face.
"Pah!" Auntie Zhao raised her hand and slapped him. "Who do you think you are?" Did I ask you? "
"…" Senior Servant Sun covered her face, her chest heaving up and down. She was an old servant who had served two generations at the Xiao estate, and could be considered to be of high status. She had never suffered such grievances before, but now she could only endure it.
Within the Immortal Lotus Courtyard.
Lian Ruyue finally washed up and prepared to rest on her bed. Her cold brows and Qingdai came to report to her separately:
"Lian Tian has already sent Third Miss to the barn. All the servants have been taken away, leaving only Third Miss and the two guards there. The guards are all of their own people, no problem." Leng Mei was talking about Lian Shiya's situation.
"As for Auntie Xiao, the moment she entered the west yard, Auntie Zhao couldn't wait to settle the score with her. Eldest Miss, don't worry, Auntie Zhao doesn't like her to begin with. Now that she has received the golden bracelet, she will definitely spare no effort in finding trouble with her." Qing Dai recounted the situation on the side to Madam Xiao.
Lian Yue gave a long yawn and said, "I'm sleepy."
"Then rest well young miss. This servant and Leng Mei are watching over you from the outside. You should get a good night's sleep. There's nothing to worry about."
After extinguishing the oil lamp, Fairy Qingmei covered her with a quilt before tiptoeing out of the room with her cold eyebrows. Lian Yue closed her eyes and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
That night, a few terrifying cries came from the west yard, and then nothing could be heard.
The next morning, Lian Ru Yue asked Lian mother for instructions. Dao and Third Aunt Liu went together to the Ninghua Temple to pray for Grandmother's blessings. With Lian mother's permission, she left with Madam Liu for the Ninghua Temple.
When they arrived at the temple, they first went to the incense and prayed. Lian Meng Yue also donated a lot of incense money, and Lady Liu said that she finally came out with great difficulty. She wanted to stay in the temple for half a day.
Thus, Lian Xiyue and Mrs Liu separated, and Mrs Liu went to find the person she saw.
"Eldest Miss, His Highness has been here for a long time. He is currently in the Peach Blossom Forest, please invite Eldest Miss over." Leng Mei came over and said to Lian Ruyue.
"Let's go." Lian Ruyue headed towards the temple's Peach Blossom Forest.
The Peach Blossom Forest of the Nine Flower Temple was a beautiful scene on a spring day in the capital. With the blowing of the wind, the petals of the Peach Blossom Forest drifted in the wind, causing a magnificent rain of peach blossoms.
But today, Lian Ruyue was walking along the road, yet she didn't see anyone within the Peach Blossom Forest. As she raised her head to look around, she heard a melodious flute song coming from ahead — —
Her heart trembled. Facing the sound of the flute, she stepped on the petals that had fallen to the ground and walked forward step by step.
She followed the sound of the flute as if she had passed through many years.
Although she didn't say anything, she had a strong feeling that this flute melody belonged to her alone. Like a ray of light in the dark night, it streaked across the ice, touching her soul until it went deep.
Finally, she arrived at the depths of the Peach Blossom Forest and saw the man standing underneath the Peach Blossom Tree.
He held the jade flute in his hand and stood in the wind. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and he wore a silver robe that overflowed the world.
Seeing her, the flute music abruptly stopped …
