【Chapter 53】Visit Xiao Mansion
Yan Ruyu got up before dawn and dressed up. She asked someone to hand in a letter to Xiao’s house last night, and the other end of Xiao’s house agreed. Although she expected, Yan Ruyu still couldn’t hide her excitement.
This former Princess Yan, now the mistress of the Xiao family, is a legendary figure in Dali. Before he left home, he was not famous. However, he married a wishful husband like the King of Yan.
When King Yan was alive, he was the smartest and most handsome man in the great dynasties. Rumors were rumored that King Yan was so beautiful that he smiled, then he smiled and the country, and three smiles were so beautiful that the world could be beautiful.
There is no woman in this great capital who doesn’t dream of marrying the King of Yan.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yan succeeded.
If she had a good family background, that was indeed good. Her grandfather was the veteran of three dynasties, and her grandfather was the richest man in Jiangnan. She wanted power and power, money and money. When she grew up, she would marry a husband or a man that women all over the world dreamed of.
Such a woman is born to be jealous.
After the death of King Yan, she thought that this beautiful flower was finally about to wither. However, in less than a year, she married into the Grand Marshal's Mansion as her original wife.
If there was any man in the entire Dali Dynasty who could compare with the King of Yan, it would be this Marshal Xiao.
Although Xiao Zhenting is not as strange as the King of Yan, and his son is unparalleled, he is a real strong general on the battlefield. He is good at strategizing and winning thousands of miles. He has been beheading the head of the Turkic King at the age of thirteen, and has never suffered a defeat in his twenty-year military career.
He is the well-deserved god of war in Dali. Wherever he is there, the cemetery of the Tartars!
Such a strong man had broken his waist for a widow, which really made the world regretful.
"Miss, I heard that the princess has a bad reputation. She and General Xiao were then..." the maid who accompanied her said in a low voice.
Yan Ruyu interrupted her coldly: "You can criticize the princess too? Carefully take your head!"
The maid shut up.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at Xiao Mansion.
Yan Ruyu has a special identity. Because she knew she was coming, someone was waiting outside the door early.
A clever little maid led Yan Ruyu's carriage into the corner gate. When he reached the second entrance, the carriage stopped. Yan Ruyu got out of the carriage, and the little maid took her into the back house with flowers.
Along the way, there are pavilions, towers, waterfronts, corridors, and a bit of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
In order to remain reserved and dignified, Yan Ruyu did not dare to look at it anymore, and quietly followed the little maid to the main courtyard.
"Madam Fang, Miss Yan is here." The little maid said to a decent nanny who was standing outside the yard.
The nanny was about the same age as that of mother Lin, but her aura was far beyond that of mother Lin.
"Miss Lin." Madam Fang greeted her kindly.
Madam Fang has a rank, so she doesn’t have to salute Yan Ruyu. Instead, Yan Ruyu bowed to her: “Hello Madam.”
Madam Fang really supported her: "Sooner or later, it's all a family, Miss Yan doesn't need to be so polite."
Yan Ruyu smiled shyly.
Madam Fang took her hand into the warmhouse and signaled her to sit down on the kang covered with a mat.
Yan Ruyu sat down on the right.
A maid brought tea and snacks.
Madam Fang sat down on the left, and there was a small pineapple wood table between them.
The moment she sat down, Yan Ruyu's eyes paused. Logically, she came to see the princess and wanted to sit, so the princess should sit. Since Madam Fang sat in the master's position, it means that the princess would not come.
Madam Fang smiled and said, "The princess is out. Please sit for a while."
Even though she knew she was coming, she had to wait for nothing. The princess looked down on her prospective daughter-in-law too much.
I muttered like this in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face.
"Have I disturbed the princess?" Yan Ruyu said gently, "I should have expected that the end of the year will come, and the princess will be plagued by ordinary affairs. I should not choose the life."
Madam Fang said, "I'll see you when I say this. I'm very happy to hear that you're here."
Yan Ruyu smiled: "I came today to thank the princess for finding a good job for my elder brother."
The people in the room knew it well that this was just compensation for the Yan family being "humiliated in public" by Yan Jiuchao on the day of the banquet. Yan Ruyu came to thank him on such a busy day as the end of the year, probably not really for this.
Sure enough, after Madam Fang praised the princess for having high expectations for Yan Xie, Yan Ruyu spoke hesitantly: "To be honest with Madam Fang, there is actually another thing."
Madam Fang looked at her with a smile.
Yan Ruyu took out a jade pendant from her purse, and looked angry and aggrieved by her little daughter's family, and said, "This was that night... Young Master Yan accidentally left behind. I planned to give it back to him in person, but after thinking about it... I'd better ask the princess to hand it over on his behalf."
Madam Fang took the jade pendant: "This is the wedding gift that Your Highness personally gave to the princess on the night of the wedding. After the prince passed away, the princess wore the jade on Chao Ge'er's body... Huh?"
"What's wrong, nanny?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"Suizi is gone." said Madam Fang.
"Suizi?" Yan Ruyu was stunned.
Madam Fang nodded: "Suizi was woven by the princess himself, with the princess slaughtered and beads inlaid on it."
Yan Ruyu's fingers buried under her wide sleeves tightened: "I walked in a hurry and only picked up the jade pendant."
"Maybe it's broken." Madam Fang said, "That soui has been for many years. You don't have to blame yourself. It's good to get the jade pendant back. You'd better hand it over to Brother Chao in person."
Madam Fang returned the jade pendant to her.
"But……"
Madam Fang patted her hands and said, "The princess knows everything about the young master. You are wronged. The princess is also a mother-in-law. How could she not understand that such a young child cannot live without her own mother? Don't worry, the princess has already gone to the young master's mansion in person, and she will take the young master over."
She blamed the princess wrongly. It turned out that the princess was not neglecting her, but wanted to help her sincerely.
Yan Ruyu took out the veil and shed tears of emotion: "Thank you so much for the princess!"
