Mrs. Wang was startled when she heard it, as old memories flooded into her mind.
In the late autumn of that year, her family arranged a marriage for her. She was an old man over fifty years of age, and half of his body was buried in the coffin. Her brother and sister-in-law coveted the old coffin's money and wanted to sell her for money.
She didn't want to leave, so she ran out and met this Lord Wang, who was now the Minister of Industry.
The two of them fell in love at first sight, but when the people from their hometown came chasing after them, Wang Shangshu was still just a son of the Humble Class, who went to the capital to participate in the test. The two of them weren't strong enough to fight.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd on the main street of the capital, their husband was almost beaten to death. Many people ignored them and turned a blind eye to them.
When a person was in a difficult situation, it was extremely rare for someone to be willing to lend a helping hand. If it wasn't for the wife of the Xiao family back then, there wouldn't have been her and her husband later on, and there wouldn't be the Minister of Industry today either. Of course, there wouldn't be Yue Yu, Ying Yue and her sister.
When they got married, the wife of the Xiao family gave them an extremely precious embroidery item: Sentinel Diagram. It was said that this was a blessing passed down from their ancestors. It was embroidered with her and her husband's hair, symbolizing their marriage and a hundred years of happiness.
This Sentinel Diagram, however, couldn't easily be gifted to others. The wife of the Xiao family had only gifted it to her that year. This matter was only known by two families and outsiders definitely wouldn't know.
Later on, when she was born, the daughter of the Xiao family's wife personally embroidered a small apron for her future younger sister. Unfortunately, her first baby was none other than, who was born later on.
He didn't expect that after the upheaval in the Xiao family, things would turn out like this.
The entire Xiao Shang Shu was a family of kind-hearted people, who would not seek repayment for their kindness. They would often come into contact with each other during those years, but when Ying Yue was three years old, for some reason, the Xiao Shang Shu and his husband broke off and no longer had anything to do with each other. Her husband did not allow her to go to the Xiao Mansion again, but he didn't know what happened. All these years, her husband had listened to her, but he refused to do that.
She and Madam Xiao had a secret relationship, but it gradually faded.
When the Xiao family's young miss died in the Wei Wang Manor, and the Xiao Shang Shu couple died, the two families ended their relationship.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.
Was there really something so strange and incomprehensible in this world?
She didn't dare to believe it, but in her heart, she wanted to believe it.
Mrs. Wang looked at the Qilin on Xiao Ruyue's chest and then took out two handkerchief to compare them. It was true that she had to believe it.
The wife of the Xiao family had clearly said that her parents were dead and that she was the only one who knew how to cook. However, there was only one young mistress of the Xiao family and only the two of them knew how to cook. If they weren't alive, outsiders wouldn't have been able to learn it.
Seeing her like that, Xiao Ruyue knew that she believed him, "Mrs. Wang, the Wang family and I are already on the same boat, from now on, you will not refuse to leave, right?"
The Mrs. Wang was slightly startled, then nodded, "There's no other successor to this technique?"
Xiao Ruyue said: "Maybe I'll be able to give birth to a daughter in the future, so I can teach her a thing or two."
Although Mrs. Wang looked depressed and sad on the surface, Wang Lu was still confused.
Her mother's words to the esteemed empress had made her more and more confused.
What 'Madam Xiao' and 'Miss Xiao'? They were the lifelike Qilins on the empress's body, and also Sentinel Diagram s.
She didn't know a lot of things about the past, so she was naturally confused.
But Mrs. Wang was different.
The mother and daughter of the Xiao family had helped her before, as well as the Wang family. One by one, the past came back to him.
During her and her husband's most difficult time, Madam Xiao had helped them. After that, because of the quarrel between his husband and Xiao Shang Shu, they had quarreled before, but because her husband seemed to have something hard to say, she didn't pursue the matter.
And now …
She felt guilty towards the Xiao family. She couldn't refuse the empress's request either.
"Your subject's wife, obey the Empress's commands. If the Empress commands it, this official shall not refuse her even if she has to go through fire and water. "
"Madam is too serious." Xiao Ruyue waved his fan, she was feeling extremely satisfied, "Why would I want you to go through fire and water?"
Mrs. Wang nodded, she did not know why but she felt relaxed in her heart.
Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie seemed to understand, but she also understood that the Wang family stood on the same side as the empress.
She wasn't sure what the empress would do, but she knew that as long as the empress wanted to do it, her mother would unconditionally support her.
Xiao Ruyue sat at the Wang Family household for a long time, talked about the situation in the capital with Mrs. Wang, and talked about Wang Shangshu.
Wang Shangshu had always been talking about the young Situ that he thought highly of, and also said, 'Why is Situ's body so weak?' He had been ill for such a long time, yet he didn't allow anyone to visit him.
Xiao Ruyue was amused, but at the same time, she felt that it was not enough to match with Master Wang. It was a rare opportunity to meet such a loyal, honest and down-to-earth Master.
Mrs. Wang said, then she started to talk about the old events, about how for some reason, the two families separated from each other on bad terms. Even she didn't know the reason.
Xiao Ruyue made a hypothesis in her heart and decided that she would not leave. She would send someone to send a message back to the Asgard and wait for Wang Shangshu to return afterwards.
When the Xiao family and the Wang family had become so unhappy that they had almost stopped interacting with each other, she was still young, so she did not have a deep impression of these things. To be honest, she didn't even have a deep impression of the Mrs. Wang.
She could sense that the Mrs. Wang was related to her Xiao Family because she had inadvertently seen the silk handkerchief that the Mrs. Wang had brought with him that she treasured so much.
She said that being able to eat lunch at home made Wang Yingyue extremely happy, she only wished that she could cook personally.
But the Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her daughter, thinking that her daughter had been in the palace for a long time, and had not eaten any of the food she cooked for a long time, she instructed the stove to prepare some, she started to cook her daughter's favorite food. Of course, there was also the principle of not letting Wang Yingyue, who was a Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, cook.
Xiao Ruyue thought back to the time when she was trying to get food from the Wang family, and she missed Mrs. Wang's cooking skills very much. She even told Lu Yi to go to Taibai Lou and ask for two dishes from him.
When it was time, the Wang Shangshu and the Young Master Wang returned to their residence. Seeing that Wang Yingyue was at home still dressed as a man, they were both surprised and happy.
"Sir Wang, you're finally back."
Wang Shangshu had just opened his mouth when someone called out to him. He turned his head and saw that even Situ had come, who he had been muttering to himself for a long time.
Seeing Ying Yue's outfit, it was most likely for her to use some other reason to sneak out of the palace. If people knew that it was her, the entire Yu Clan would be in big trouble.
However, when he saw the person he had been thinking about for a long time, the Wang Shangshu was overjoyed. He walked forward and patted Xiao Ruyue on the shoulder, "Brother Situ, you actually didn't tell me that you were well and came back to my home. This little brat must be used to being lazy, or else her bones would be too lazy. "
When the Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie saw that her father dared to touch the Empress, her face paled and she hastily tried to pull away. However, Xiao Ruyue shook her head at her calmly.
"Wang Shangshu, this official has been recuperating at home for a long time. Today's weather was good, so I wanted to take a walk outside. Unknowingly, I walked to the front of your residence. "Originally, there were still guests in your house, but Madam said that it would be inconvenient. I was the one who shamelessly insisted on staying for the meal. It was great that there were some customers here, let's join in on the fun."
"That's true, let's watch the show." "After not seeing you for a few days, you have indeed become much richer." Wang Shangshu subconsciously changed the topic, afraid that Xiao Ruyue would pay more attention to this "guest" in his home, as she thought that she had hidden this from his subordinates.
However, he hadn't noticed that his daughter's clothes were quite similar to his "subordinate's" clothes. He also didn't know that the true identity of the person in front of him was only known to him.
Oh no, the Young Master Wang and Wang Qiyue were also in the dark.
Wang Qi Yue saw that Xiao Ruyue was there, but he did not see the autumnal girl he longed to see, so he looked around, until Xiao Ruyue said: "She did not follow." Only then did he give up.
On the other hand, Young Master Wang was like his father, who only cared about death. Without even thinking about it, he believed Xiao Ruyue's words.
On the other hand, the empress had his mother and sister to cover her up. His mind was preoccupied, so he didn't think too much about it.
Xiao Ruyue brought three servants and guards, one more people. Wang Shangshu looked at Qing Qing and muttered in his heart, I seem to have met this girl before or is it a little brother?
Wang Shangshu also recognized Shen Liang. This general entered Da Xia Empire with the Empress and he had a deep impression of him, but when this General Shen appeared here, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember where.
Before the banquet started, Lu Yi rushed back, but unexpectedly, she not only brought back some food, but she also brought back some people — — Wang Qi Yue's, Young Master Wang's, heart.
This time, there were even more guests.
Young Master Wang was also happy to see the "little brother Situ" he was admiring. Mrs. Wang was also happy to see him because she heard something that was impossible but could become possible; Wang Yingyue was overjoyed to see someone who was able to return home.
Xiao Ruyue felt that she had done a great thing today.
Shen Liang and Qiu Yin also sat down at the table. The Wang Family members did not have many rules, but Qing Qing and Lu Yi refused to sit. Xiao Ruyue did not make things difficult for them, and let them eat at the side with He Xiang.
This lunch was extremely enjoyable, other than the Wang Family's Young Master's occasional glances at autumnal girl and being lost in thought, the rest were quite harmonious.
After lunch, Wang Shangshu called Xiao Ruyue over to the study room to talk. He was determined to let this talented young man, who was willing to do hard work, take care of him as soon as possible so that he could go back to the Ministry of Work to help him.
Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Ruyue took the lead and spoke first, "Master, I wonder, did you have a secret agreement with the former Minister of Rites, Lord Xiao Hanwen?"
