Xuanyuan Yu was stunned.
Looking at the departing figure of Aunt Ping, he too felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It wasn't that she had changed, but that this was her nature, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. Only the strong could continue to exist, no matter the situation. She was not a saint. She would not face someone who hated her all day long and even thought of harming her all the time. He showed mercy to her. It wasn't that she hadn't been soft-hearted before, but in the end, she suffered a second, even more severe injury. This was human nature.
She wouldn't be kind if she was here, and she wouldn't be.
She followed Lady Cai and Cai Ruo Mu to Lady Cai's room.
"Sit down." Mrs. Cai said lightly.
Xuanyuan Yu lowered her head and said, "I don't dare. Madam and Miss are both here. How could I dare to sit on equal footing with you?"
Lady Cai chuckled. "You're not our maid now. What's there to be afraid of?"
Xuanyuan Yu was stunned for a moment before also smiling faintly, "Yes, Lady Cai." Then, without any hesitation, he sat down under a chair to the side.
Mrs. Cai wore a faint smile. "I don't think you're a child from outside the city!"
Xuanyuan Yu only drank her tea and lowered her head, carefully observing her surroundings.
Lady Cai changed the subject and said, "The pastries you make are very tasty, and today is your natural instinct! You actually tricked us all. "
Xuanyuan Yu put down her cup and gave an awkward laugh. "I really have no other choice. I hope Lady Cai and Miss don't take offense to this."
"Haha, you don't want to talk about the past anymore. You've worked hard at the mansion this past month." Cai Ruomeng said with her clear and melodious voice.
Xuanyuan Yu didn't know why, but Cai Ruo Mu felt like she changed a lot, especially when she was becoming more and more feminine. The former Cai Ruo Mu was also beautiful, but she wasn't as feminine, so she couldn't really describe the change, but she felt that her temperament had changed. Moreover, he felt his thoughts become even deeper.
"Haha, I will have to trouble you all for this month. I will pack my things and leave immediately." Xuanyuan Yu cupped her hands together. He stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait, since you've given me such a big gift, then I've already said that I would return it to you as well." Cai Ruomeng smiled faintly.
Seeing this smile, Xuanyuan Yu suddenly thought of the Hibiscus Mutabilis Flower.
"What present!"
"Sit down first, you'll know soon enough!"
Xuanyuan Yu also did not hold back and directly sat down.
"Have some snacks!" "Oh right, I'll be hungry later!" Cai Ruomo pushed the pastries towards her.
Xuanyuan Yu also did not hold back and picked up the pastries from the table to eat.
She still had to eat her fill. Otherwise, she really did not know what kind of fate she would face in the future.
After a while, a very powerful man came in, carrying a saber on his back. This made Xuanyuan Yu feel like an overlord.
He bowed respectfully in front of Lady Cai. "Madam, everything has been prepared."
Lady Cai nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll be troubling you then. You go ahead first. I'll get someone to deliver your things later."
"Alright. "Then I'll take my leave first" After saying that, the man strode out of the room.
Cai Ruo Mu smiled as she looked at Xuanyuan Yu. "Are you going to go back and pack your things now?"
Xuanyuan Yu shook her head and laughed, "There really isn't anything that needs to be tidied up."
Cai Ruomo glanced at her and said with a smile, "Alright then! The last thing I'm going to give you, you can come with us! "
Xuanyuan Yu nodded. Actually, she also knew very well in her heart what this last item was. It should be related to the beef plum.
He got on the carriage with Lady Cai and Cai Ruo.
He listened to the bustling streets outside.
Xuanyuan Yu only had one feeling, a feeling as if the light had passed through a lifetime. She herself had been dealing with crowds of people every day and had seen so many people every day. However, when she saw this street and so many people, she always felt that it was very absent-minded and unreal.
"Do you know who that person was?"
Xuanyuan Yu was in a daze when she suddenly heard Cai Ruo Mu's words. All of her thoughts were pulled back as she shook her head.
Cai Ruomen smiled, "This is One on the Street." He was a famous local tyrant outside the city. So far, no one had dared to provoke him. "Although there are many rich and powerful people here, they all have a good relationship with him. He has a very high position here, and I heard that there are also people in the court.
Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head. She had also just figured it out.
Cai Ruomeng looked at her bright smile, "Then do you know what my last present is for you?"
Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head, "Don't worry, I will keep my promise. Is it just that you think it's worth it?"
Cai Ruomeng's eyelashes slightly fluttered, but she still said with a smile, "Everyone has a different goal."
After Xuanyuan Yu heard this, she nodded and did not ask any further.
The carriage slowly moved forward and the lively street caused Xuanyuan Yu's silent heart to gradually brighten up.
Suddenly, she heard a burst of loud roars, cheers, and curses from outside. Xuanyuan Yu lifted a corner of the curtain. He saw General Li and his assistant general both locked up in the carriage, roaming the streets. His body was covered in dirty stuff that had been thrown at him by someone else. It was almost impossible to see his human form.
Xuanyuan Yu felt a wave of pleasure in her heart.
He really wanted to go down and slap them a few times. It was bone-corroding hatred.
Cai Ruochen's eyes also glanced over.
He looked at the prison cart outside, as well as the dirty people on top of it.
He could not help but sigh, "Such a mighty general of the past, how insufferably arrogant and proud was he? But now, he has fallen to this stage."
Lady Cai opened her eyes slightly. "He's lost his people's heart and offended them. It's no surprise that he ended up like this."
As Xuanyuan Yu listened to the two, she once again thought of that lofty emperor, as well as the empress dowager, that imperial palace. He gave the carriage another fierce glare before putting down the curtain.
"Stop the car." Mrs. Cai suddenly opened and closed her eyes.
Xuanyuan Yu went blank for a moment. Right now, it was the busiest street. Why did he suddenly stop here?
Lady Cai looked at Xuanyuan Yu and faintly smiled. "Let's get off the carriage!"
After she got off the carriage and saw so many people, Xuanyuan Yu suddenly felt an indescribable nervousness. After staying in the dark for so long, she had suddenly arrived at such a bustling street. He had a feeling that he wanted to hide himself.
Xuanyuan Yu firmly lowered her head. There were also people who would look at her when they passed by.
The heart that Xuanyuan Yu wanted to hide herself from became even more intense.
When the servant outside saw Lady Cai, he immediately ran over with an apologetic smile.
"Aiyo, Mrs. Cai, you're here. Come in and take a look. We have a lot of new fabric here." Aiyo, isn't this Miss Cai? Hearing the explanation, she's already getting married. Congratulations, let's go in and take a look!
"Hehe, just your mouths are sweet. "Where's your boss?"
"Inside? "Madam, please come in!" As he spoke, he smiled and extended his hand, allowing them to enter.
Xuanyuan Yu's face was filled with uneasiness.
Cai Ruomeng also noticed this and asked, "What's wrong, are you not feeling well?"
Xuanyuan Yu shook her head. He immediately got on the carriage.
Lady Cai and Cai Ruo Mu looked at each other. They couldn't help but be astonished. The boy also couldn't help but be astonished. He could only stand respectfully to one side.
Cai Ruomou walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain. He asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Xuanyuan Yu rubbed her face.
"Wait a moment," Cai Ruo Mu said caringly.
Xuanyuan Yu obediently nodded her head.
Cai Ruomeng walked out and whispered something into Madam Cai's ear.
Mrs. Cai nodded.
The two of them entered the shop.
"How about this! If she doesn't want to buy clothes, you'll take her there later. When she's finished, give her the money! " As Lady Cai spoke, she took out a large bag of silver from her bosom.
Cai Ruochen accepted it.
Mrs. Cai saw that there were all kinds of bamboo hats.
Pick an ordinary color.
"Boss, I want this too!"
That boss smilingly walked over from the counter. "Alright, just say what you like, Madam."
"I want to take this first!"
"Sigh, no problem"!
"Give this and the silver taels to her. Remember, after you finish reading, come back alone. You have to hurry back, your wedding is tomorrow, and you don't have a good reputation out there. I won't be going like this, so you have to be careful!"
"Yes mother."
Xuanyuan Yu sat alone in the palanquin, still feeling very uneasy.
Soon, Cai Ruo Mu came in through the curtain and smiled at her.
He said to the coachman, "Let's go!"
Xuanyuan Yu doubtfully asked, "Then what about the Madam?"
"My mother was enchanted by the sight of clothes. Hehe, women are the most beloved of them all. "It has nothing to do with age!"
Xuanyuan Yu also smiled and suddenly thought of her second aunt. That woman also loved clothes. The clothes she prepared for him had caused her eyes to go blurry. Suddenly, he felt a little sad. He could not help but take a deep breath to calm himself down. Suddenly, he saw the bamboo hat in Cai Ruo Mu's hand.
Cai Ruomeng looked at her, smiled, and said, "This is for you, take it with you!"
Xuanyuan Yu received it with a smile. Although right now she was treating herself well in exchange, Xuanyuan Yu was still a little touched in her heart!
"Where are you going?"
Xuanyuan Yu shook her head. "I don't know. I don't have any family now and I don't know where I can go."
Cai Ruomeng suddenly felt a little guilty. Was she being too selfish? She immediately cast that thought aside, thinking that she was unbefitting of anyone, that she was doomed to perish. Too much selfishness would only harm him.
"This is silver. My mother told me to give it to you, so you have to be careful along the way!"
Xuanyuan Yu also received the silver taels. Although she had enough money on her, she wasn't afraid to take more.
The carriage stopped at Niu Mei's house.
After the two of them got off the carriage, Cai Ruommu said to the driver, "Go get a map now, fast!"
"But, miss, alone —" The coachman still hesitated to speak.
"It's fine, go on! "Just hurry up and come back!" Cai Ruomeng insisted.
The driver could not do anything but think of a quick return.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Cai Ruo Mu and smiled faintly.
"Heh, since I've stolen your position, I can only do this much for you now. Take good care of yourself in the future!" Cai Ruomeng patted her hand and said.
"It's even!" Xuanyuan Yu calmly said.
"Hehe." Cai Ruomeng smiled.
Suddenly, he heard a shout coming from inside.
"Don't! Don't sell my mother out! I beg of you! Dad, this is your wife. How can you do this! Dad —" This voice was very familiar. It was from Myrica rubra.
He glanced at Cai Ruomeng.
Cai Ruomeng smiled faintly.
"And you, go with your mother, both of you have been sold by your father!" A few of them said fiercely.
"No, First Miss is only getting married tomorrow, and you're just going to give us two days. "Two days is good!"
Suddenly, he heard a snapping sound. That person slapped him, "What kind of woman do you think you are? Don't think that we don't know that you're not a virgin anymore, but are instead the woman that imprisoned you outside. Also, don't use your words to deceive your father. Do you think you've been expelled from the Cai Residence? You're not a fucking thing right now, and now that I sold you, I can get two more dollars for you. Don't be played around with more by men in the future, you're even f * cking worthless. "
"What?" Ox Father looked at her with disbelief in his eyes.
"Are they telling the truth? "You have been chased out of the Cai Residence?"
Niu Mei nodded her head while sobbing.
"But father, please give me one more chance, even if it is only one more chance. I beg you, I beg you. Don't sell Mom and me, Dad. "
"Pa!" Niu Mei's mouth was covered in blood. She was so angry that she could not even lift her fist. She slapped him hard. This slap was even more powerful than the one she just received; blood could be seen from the corner of her mouth.
"You unfilial daughter, you've caused me so much trouble this time. Hurry up and beg the Cai Mansion, beg the eldest miss, isn't she going to marry the second son of the Wang Family?" "If you beg her, maybe I can forgive you!" Ox's father sighed and said.
Niu Mei could not help but snort. What a good father, what a good father. Her life was not even comparable to a servant girl from the Cai residence. What a pitiful family relationship.
Xuanyuan Yu expressionlessly listened from outside.
"Miss, this map has been found!" The coachman gasped for breath as he spoke.
It had to be said that this coachman's efficiency was quite high. But more importantly, he was worried about Cai Ruo Mu's safety. She was going to be married tomorrow, and if others saw that she was here right now. It's easy to get rumored: "Miss, let's go back now! The sky had already darkened!
Cai Ruomei understood that the wedding was tomorrow, so she decided to pay more attention. She smiled at her, "I'm going back to the residence now. You have to be careful." "It's just that you promised me, you have to remember, otherwise, I'll —" "Jade is burned," Cai Ruo Mu whispered these words into her ear.
Xuanyuan Yu was stunned for a moment before also smiling slightly. "With the heavens as my master, I, I swear to you that I will absolutely not disturb tomorrow's wedding. You and I will each walk the same road of doom!"
