Chapter 196

"What's weird?"

"The blood-sucking monster seems to be afraid of me."

Song Yanjing was silent for a while, "There must be something about you that he should be afraid of. It's a good thing to be afraid of you. Don't worry about him hurting you."

Immediately following him, he said again: "Cure the fifth prince's insomnia disease, don't cure yourself in time. After you get the things, quickly back away, Li Congyu is full of evil spirits, it is best not to provoke him." .”

Yun Jiu'an grabbed his arm tightly, "Don't worry, I have plans. I must retreat completely, and don't give him any chance to catch me."

"I hope you keep what you say." Song Yanning chuckled, put the reins on the horse, the horse had already raised its hooves, and then shot out like arrows, leaving the two people who were still fighting in the orphanage far away. back.

Xiao Jun took a nap, and the rooster was already crowing.Li Congyu slept peacefully, while Yun Jiuan was still leaning against the table to sleep.

He took a fox fur coat to cover her, went out and inspected it, and found nothing unusual.

At dawn, Li Congyu was woken up by the eunuch Xiaoshou who was next to Concubine Liang in the palace to invite her.

Yun Jiu'an was released on the grounds that it was inconvenient to enter the palace and wanted to go back to catch up on sleep so that he could perform acupuncture at night.

After some twists and turns and returning to Qi Luoxuan, Qiu Yun almost jumped up in anxiety, "Girl, you are back. You don't know that yesterday Xiaonian, the master and the old lady sent people to call me twice. It's all prevarication. If you don't come back today, I can't explain it."

Yun Jiu'an perfunctory her a few words, so tired that she just wanted to sleep next to the pillow, Qiu Yun said: "Tell me two things for the girl. The first thing is that Wang Gong and Wang's family have already handed over the invitation yesterday, saying that the girl is invited Years ago, I had to go to the Wang family no matter what; the second thing, when Qian Lu came back, he said he had news about Lu He. I must tell you personally when the girl comes back."

Yun Jiu'an sat up from the bed all of a sudden, "Where's Qian Lu?"

"I saw him in the morning, and he has been sent out by Manager Wang. He should be here at night."

Yun Jiuan yawned, "Let me squint for a while, wake me up at noon, and go to Wang's house in the afternoon."

Qiu Yun asked, "Why don't you go and say hello to the old lady?"

"Let me sleep for a while."

Seeing her looking extremely tired, Qiu Yun didn't want to talk anymore, she brought hot water to wash her up, and then let her lie down.

It was also a coincidence that she had fallen asleep for a while, and the old lady sent someone over to invite her.Qiu Yun had to force her to wake up.

It wasn't until she passed that she found out that the betrothal gift was given by Hou's mansion, and it was all received by Gao Shi in the name of Wang Shi's treasury.

The old lady was worried about Gao's manipulation of the dowry, so she asked her to go to the warehouse to check the list in person.There is also the set of honors bestowed by the queen empress last time, and she is asked to count them together. When she gets married, these rewards are all her confidence and dignity.

All along, Yun Jiu'an didn't care much about marriage and dowry.But after Song Yanning repeatedly expressed his feelings to her these past few days, she decided to be more serious and sincere about this marriage.

She went directly to her sister-in-law, Wang Shi, and said she wanted to see the betrothal gift from the Hou's mansion.

Wang's expression turned pale, "Fifth Sister, there are not only the betrothal gifts from the Hou's mansion, but also the betrothal gifts from the Zheng family to the second younger sister in the warehouse. If you put the hatchback together, I'm afraid you won't be able to figure it out."

"Sister-in-law, as long as the things are there and the list is there, how can I not count them clearly? My sister-in-law won't let me see, is she worried that I stole the second sister's things?" Yun Jiu'an felt more and more weird in such a dilemma.

Wang is not a sharp person at all, so he doesn't know what to say now.After a few squeaks, she finally said bluntly: "Because the second sister's wedding date is February [-]th, almost two months earlier than the fifth sister's. Mother said that she couldn't afford a dowry equivalent to the Zheng family's betrothal gift. So, he gave the Marquis Mansion a part of the dowry gift for the Fifth Sister, and said that the Second Sister's marriage should be dealt with first, and then the Fifth Sister would make arrangements..."

Yun Jiu'an almost laughed, "Sister-in-law, you can't decide this matter, can you?"

Wang said nothing.

Yun Jiu'an also understood what she meant, got up and said: "Then don't bother sister-in-law, I will go to my father and tell my father. There is always a place in this mansion that can reason."

She went directly to the study in the front yard.

Wang immediately sent someone to inform Nuanhuayuan.

Yun Zhongliang just finished his lunch and was about to take a nap, when Yun Jiuan pushed the door open and went in, "It's been a while, I wonder if my father's headache has improved?"

Yun Zhongliang was a little displeased, "You girl is not young anymore, why didn't you knock when you came in? There are no rules."

Yun Jiu'an complained: "Aren't I worried about my father's body? Besides, when I was young yesterday, I suddenly remembered that my third sister hadn't been found, and I had nightmares again and again. It was all bad, even ...I also dreamed about my mother..."

This is the first time she raised Zhiyan in front of Yun Zhongliang. She thought that the father's face would show a bit of grief or nostalgia for losing his concubine, but Yun Zhongliang was very calm, and just sighed: "Your aunt is just an old lady." Poor luck, after giving birth to your two sisters, your health collapsed, and you passed away within two years, and you didn’t have any good dreams. After all, your aunt raised you up all these years. Even the child Ping An followed her anyway, Everyone else is fine, but she disappeared, and her life and death are still unknown..."

Seeing his expression, Yun Jiuan's intuition was very strange.Thinking of Song Yanning once mentioned that Gao Zhiyan is a famous beauty in the capital, with a beautiful appearance, admired by many princes and grandchildren.Shouldn't it be a great honor for Yun Zhongliang to accept her as a concubine?Why is it so peaceful?
She tentatively asked, "Father, do you have a portrait of my mother here?"

"A person who has passed away, why do you still keep her portrait? No, it was burned early."

"Does father still remember what my mother looked like?"

"It's been more than ten years, and it's already blurred." Yun Zhongliang looked her up and down, "I think she looks similar to you."

Yun Jiu'an was taken aback, how could Gao Zhiyan be similar to her dark and sleazy appearance?What went wrong?

She was about to continue asking, when Gao's voice sounded at the door, "Jiu'an, why don't you let your father rest? He has been busy with official duties during this period, and his energy has dropped a lot. Don't let him worry about trivial matters."

Yun Jiuan looked back at Gao Shi who was still looking serious as the mistress, with a smile on his lips, "There are indeed some things I want to ask my father for advice. My father said that he is prone to headaches, and he also wants to take his pulse and help him find out what's wrong. root cause."

"My mother will tell you everything. It's better to talk to our mother than to his old man. He only has a headache occasionally. After all these years, it's not a problem..."

As Gao Shi spoke, he took her hand and wanted to go out.

Yun Jiuan didn't move.

Gao smiled and said, "I heard that the green lotus in your yard has disappeared. How about we talk about where she went?"
