Xuanyuan Yu had been in the mansion for several days now, even though the matriarch, the second miss, and everyone else in the mansion were very relaxed. But Xuanyuan Yu still had a faint feeling that this was the prelude to a storm.
Eldest Uncle had been on the battlefield for years, but he suddenly came back. His other uncles also came back, so it was now peaceful on all sides. The Emperor must be seizing power.
She really wanted to help. She really wanted to know what was going on. Was the emperor really planning to rob the family? But Xuanyuan Yu was not worried right now. After all, there were many five generations of emperors who had yet to make a move on Liu Xiang's residence. Plus, the Liu Family had three Gold Medals for Exemption. Even if the Emperor really wanted to say "we are conspiring against you, we can't do anything to the Liu Family."
If it really was a last resort, Xuanyuan Yu thought, after all, her uncle's influence was so great outside. If it really reached that point, would he be able to go up against the Imperial Family?
Regardless of whether it was the Liu Family or not, Xuanyuan Yu still wasn't that worried.
The next day, after waking up, he went to pay his respects to the matriarch.
When the matriarch saw that Xuanyuan Yu had arrived, she hurriedly called her over to sit by her side.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at this slowly progressing family and felt her heart warm as well.
Not long after. Liu Shixuan walked over, along with his other two uncles.
One was gentle and refined while the other was masculine and candid.
The sunny man chuckled at Xuanyuan Yu, "You are Yu'er?"
Xuanyuan Yu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Just as he was thinking about how to address her.
The matriarch said.
The one beside you is your second uncle, and this is your third uncle.
Xuanyuan Yu smiled and bowed, "Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle."
The man laughed.
Xuanyuan Yu knows that you are famous throughout the world. Liu Hao. As for the one beside him, it was Liu Zhi, who was famous for his scheming.
Liu Hao laughed heartily: "This niece is different from the other girls. I thought she was a carefree girl. "I did not expect him to be so elegant, but his personality is very similar to second brother."
Liu Zhi smiled and looked deeply at his niece. He had long since heard of her. Killing his stepmother, harming his sister, and sending his own father to the road of decapitation. In fact, Matriarch He had even given her a Gold Medallion for free. None of them had the honor of being part of the Chu Clan. Instead, they had given her a Gold Medallion.
The matriarch laughed as well. "Shixuan, you've come for a reason."
Xuanyuan Yu felt that they had something to say, so she just greeted them, "Matriarch, Yu'er will take her leave first."
The matriarch looked at her and smiled. "No need. Just sit there." We're all family, why can't we know? "
Liu Zhi and Liu Hao couldn't help but be surprised.
Liu Shixuan didn't mind.
Xuanyuan Yu sat down quietly beside the matriarch.
Only then did Liu Shixuan slowly say, "The ministers in the court have joined hands to accuse our Prime Minister's family of conspiring against us."
Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but be shocked.
Liu Hao also added, "Yeah, they all joined up to say that we had the intention of conspiring against them. He even took out the poem that his father wrote before he died and said that we wanted to take away his mountains and rivers. "
The matriarch snorted coldly. "It's just a poem. When the previous emperor was still alive, he didn't even think much of it. When people die, he only makes trouble on the surface."
Liu Shixuan replied, "That's right. None of the ministers in the court dared to offend our Prime Minister's estate. The matter regarding the alliance was caused by the empress dowager and the emperor."
Liu Hao continued, "But even so, it can't shake our Prime Minister's Palace. Even if they want to get into trouble, we still have a gold medal. "
"We should also prevent the emperor and the empress dowager from doing such a thing. They know it's futile, but there's still something wrong with them doing such a thing. We have to do it secretly. Did they do something behind their backs?"
Liu Hao also nodded in agreement.
Matriarch He thought for a moment. Then he turned to Xuanyuan Yu and said, "Yu'er, your Gold Medallion for Exemption is still with you!"
Xuanyuan Yu nodded. He said, "Why don't I give the gold medal to Grandmother?"
The matriarch chuckled. "The things that I've given you are yours. You must keep them safe."
Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head in agreement.
The three men looked at Xuanyuan Yu with a somewhat confused expression. Just what was so worthy of Matriarch He to treat her like this?
Every day, Xuanyuan Yu would pay her respects to the matriarch. He had gained some understanding of the affairs of the court. The center of the room was in full swing. All the ministers pointed their spears at the Prime Minister's house. Only Liu Shixuan's men were left. Some still supported it.
Xuanyuan Yu didn't feel too optimistic, but the matriarch didn't seem too optimistic. It was just that every once in a while, Xuanyuan Yu would look at the matriarch and sigh. At other times, he was very spirited. The three uncles would also report to the matriarch on matters of the court every day. The matriarch would also come up with a plan for them.
After the three uncles left, Xuanyuan Yu also took her leave.
Just as he turned the corner, he suddenly heard the sound of an argument.
"Why do you refuse to accept me? It had been so long. "You should be relieved."
Xuanyuan Yu originally had no interest in eavesdropping. She turned around and was about to leave when she heard the woman's voice.
"Eldest Young Master." Let go of this servant! Everything is in the past. "
Xuanyuan Yu was stunned. This was not the voice of Wan-Er.
He turned around and hid under a tree, furtively watching them.
It really was them. Wan-Er pushed her uncle away.
Eldest Uncle was always standing there, feeling lost.
Seeing them acting like this, Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but frown. Just what was going on with them? If it were love, First Uncle would no longer have a wife, and as to what exactly made him so resistant, she could also see that the relationship between him and her was not ordinary. Even after so many years, Xuanyuan Yu still hadn't seen who he cared about, and from their previous conversation, she knew that he had given his heart to his First Uncle.
Just as he turned around, he saw an enlarged handsome face.
Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but be surprised for a moment before pulling this person along as they walked into the distance. That's why I let him go. He greeted, "Third uncle."
Liu Hao's eyes flashed with a bright smile, "Now I know why Matriarch likes you so much."
Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled. Although their grandmother was their mother, they all addressed her as Matriarch. She knew it was an invisible rule. It was also proof of his grandmother's status.
Xuanyuan Yu slightly smiled, "Yu'er, farewell," then turned around and left.
Liu Hao followed her, "I really have never seen a girl like you, hiding behind her and eavesdropping, being discovered by others and acting as if nothing had happened, pulling me to the side, and then acting as if nothing had happened. Goodbye, no matter how hard I try, I can't understand how my weak little sister could give birth to a girl like you."
Xuanyuan Yu still only faintly smiled, "Uncle, we're done. Yu'er, farewell. Also, thank you Uncle for your praise." With that, he turned and left.
Liu Hao laughed out loud.
Xuanyuan Yu also only faintly smiled. There were many things that she could do very well, but she could also tell that her uncle was a candid person. He wouldn't argue with her so much. If he were to say too much, it would be troublesome instead. It was unreasonable to look at it this way, though he knew it wasn't the other way around.
She needed to find out what was going on. Since they had feelings for each other, why not try to match them up.
With this thought in mind, he directly returned to the Yanran Pavilion.
Warm was cleaning the house. Xuanyuan Yu only nodded and smiled before sitting to one side and watching them clean.
Seeing her son's expression, he did not have much of an expression on his face. He was lost in thought.
Xuanyuan Yu lightly called out, "Warmth!"
She frowned, not knowing what to think.
Xuanyuan Yu raised an eyebrow.
Liu Mei lightly nudged her: "Big sister Wan-Er, is young miss calling you? Are you okay! For the past few days, we've been looking at you and feeling a bit absent-minded. "
Wan-Er came back to her senses, her face slightly flushed. She awkwardly smiled at Xuanyuan Yu, "I was just thinking about something and became lost in thought. Did the young miss just call me over for something?"
Xuanyuan Yu raised an eyebrow. "Come in for a moment. There are some things I want to talk to you about." As he spoke, he walked straight in.
Warmth followed.
After entering the room, Xuanyuan Yu closed the door and sat in front of the table. "You sit too!"
"This servant dares not." Wan-Er lowered her head and said.
Xuanyuan Yu's brows uncomfortably twitched twice. "I was overthinking things. Normally, I treat you as a relative, but in your heart, I'm still an outsider!"
Warm was startled to hear her. He hurriedly said, "Miss, this servant does not mean that!"
Xuanyuan Yu gestured for her to sit down.
Warm sat down.
Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but sigh. "What happened between you and my uncle?"
Wan-Er looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to mention this matter.
Xuanyuan Yu received two cups of tea and placed one cup in front of her. "Don't say anything, the two of us will sit here. "Until you want to say it."
Warm looked at her and called out, "Miss —"
Xuanyuan Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed.
Xuanyuan Yu did not feel the slightest bit anxious.
Warmth couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the Miss didn't have any intention of letting him go. If he didn't explain clearly today, the Miss would continue to persist.
He then slowly said, "At that time, we were supposed to be in love, but she was only a maid. The matriarch wouldn't have agreed to let us be together. At that time, it didn't matter if he wanted to be a concubine as long as he was with Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Master thought so too. At that time, she had listened to Matriarch He's arrangements and married the eldest young master. However, she had never thought that the eldest young master would be so jealous that she'd pretend to be weak and delicate in front of him. Yet, he still bullied me with all his might behind my back. Sometimes, after the fight, after the scolding, they would put on an act in front of their young master. The Eldest Young Master naturally did not believe it. The First Lady tried to kick me out many times, but she couldn't do anything about it. Then she got pregnant. And Eldest Young Master still wants to marry me. The first wife wanted to stop him, but even the matriarch agreed in the end. The first lady couldn't do anything, she actually set up a trap, and that day at the Lotus Pond, she clearly jumped in by herself. But she wronged me. And it just so happened to be seen by the Eldest Young Master. It was as if she had actually seen me push her down. Their first child was gone. And our love is gone, and he looks at me more and more coldly. "
