Chapter 319
"It's probably aimed at me." Sima Fengji said indifferently.

He didn't want the Duke to know that Xiao Yao'er had such a bizarre life experience.This is the best way now, Xiao Yao'er has already regarded the Duke as her own grandfather, there is no need to tell the truth, so that there is no reason for her to have a relationship with the Duke.

The Duke nodded, but didn't think about it.

The two left the backyard one after the other.

Sima Fengji was still thinking in his heart, according to Xiao Yaoer's words, she is just a ray of ghost, but it has occupied this body and become the granddaughter of the Duke, Ye Yao.In fact, he does not agree with this statement.

He felt that some things seemed destined in the dark, that she was destined to come to him.

As soon as the two of them returned to the front yard, they saw Ye Yao turn back, with a serious look on his little face.

Ye Yao stopped, looked at Duke Guo and Sima Fengji, and said slowly, "Ji Lang, Miss Xu has passed away from an illness. I just heard the news from Xu's residence."

Sima Fengji's complexion was slightly gloomy, and there seemed to be a little anger between his brows.

Death?Can he die of illness while being raised in Xu's mansion? !
"I'll go to Xu Mansion first, do you want to go together?" Ye Yao asked him.

"I won't go, you can handle this matter." After Sima Fengji finished speaking, he suddenly pulled Ye Yao's body and whispered a word in her ear.

After Ye Yao heard this, she was startled at first, and then became a little gloomy. It turned out that this was the case.

"I'll go there first, you wait for me at Prince Liu's Mansion."

"Qin Feng, prepare the carriage and go with the concubine." Sima Fengji ordered.

"Yes." Qin Feng immediately went down to prepare.

When the Duke heard the news, he sighed softly. No matter whose child passed away early, it would be heartbreaking.

Regarding the matter of King Liu's taking concubines, he has never expressed any opinion, and he has no right to ask about the back house of Prince Liu's mansion, but in his heart, he is still very pleased with King Liu's love for Yao'er.

Although, this is a bit ruthless to the ladies in other houses.But it was his granddaughter who was favored, and he didn't care what other people thought.

"In the next few days, we may have to go back to Prince Liu's Mansion." Sima Fengji turned to the Duke and said.

"Go, this matter must be handled properly, especially at this juncture. In a few days, the crown prince may return to the imperial capital, and the relocation of the northern territory has almost stabilized."

It's not stable, this is just the beginning, the Queen Mother hasn't made any moves in the past few months.But Sima Fengji didn't say it, but nodded.

The Duke watched the snow-colored figure drift away, and sighed softly.

Ye Yao was sitting on the carriage while listening to Rong Yin's report.

At least Miss Xu has asthma, and often feels breathless. Logically speaking, Miss Xu is already sixteen this year, and she has survived for so many years, so she won't suddenly be unable to resist at this time.

"Miss, do you think this matter is strange?" Rong Yin asked in a low voice as he watched Ye Yao sink into deep thought.

"Yeah." Ye Yao nodded, "I think this incident happened too suddenly. The severe winter has passed, and now the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, so I left suddenly."

"However, the imperial doctor has come to examine her. Miss Xu's condition worsened before, and she always felt out of breath."

"Go and ask Nan Fufeng to come over."

"Yes."

Xu's mansion is not far from Guogong's mansion, and within a stick of incense, Ye Yao's carriage stopped in front of the mansion's gate.

White flags hung high in front of the mansion, and there was a bleak scene everywhere. When the butler saw Ye Yao's figure, he immediately came forward to greet him.

"See Concubine Liu, my wife is too sad, and she can't come to greet her when she gets sick. I hope the concubine forgives her sin."

"Get up, take me to see Mrs. Xu." Ye Yao waved his hand.

The butler immediately welcomed Ye Yao into Xu's residence.

Mr. Xu ranks among the three princes. The Xu family is a well-known scholarly family in Qingxuan. Many young talents in the court came from his sect. He even taught Qingxuan, who was still a prince, for a while.

As soon as Ye Yao walked to the gate of the inner mansion, he saw a figure that was not unfamiliar.

It is Miss Sun who is deeply in love with Ms. Xu and sister, Sun Siru
"See Wangfei." Miss Sun leaned over and saluted, her eyes were red and swollen, it was obvious that she had just cried, and her expression was also sad.

"Get up, how is Mrs. Xu?"

"Just woke up, took the medicine, and was still lying on the bed."

Ye Yao walked in, and when everyone in the room saw her, they immediately stopped and went forward to salute.

"Don't be polite." Ye Yao walked towards the inner room and saw Mrs. Xu who was about to get out of bed. She immediately went forward and helped Mrs. Xu up, "Mrs. Xu takes good care of herself, there is no need to be formal."

"Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Xu was extremely haggard, almost skinny, her lips were chapped and bloodshot.

It can be seen how much the pain of losing a daughter has hit her.

"You all go down." Ye Yao ordered to the people beside him.

The waiter retreated immediately, Sun Siru glanced at the two people beside the bed, and finally retreated with blessing.

After leaving the house, Sun Siru couldn't stay any longer, she glanced inside the house again, and then walked away.

As Xu Yueru left with such hatred, I'm afraid Madam Xu's attitude towards Ye Yao will not be much better!
These days, she often mentioned the matter of being driven back to the mansion in front of Xu Yueru, Xu Yueru couldn't let go of this matter, and was depressed all day long.

She just wished that Xu Yueru would die soon!This is the only way she can leave the Xu Mansion!
Ye Yao helped Mrs. Xu to the bed, and picked up a pillow for Mrs. Xu to lean on.

Seeing Ye Yao's actions like this, Mrs. Xu's heart immediately warmed up. She was unassuming and unaffected. This Concubine Liu was nothing like the rumors outside.

"I'm not able to send Yueru back to Prince Liu's mansion at the last moment, and please don't take offense, Princess Xu." The moment Madam Xu opened her mouth, she was somewhat apologetic.

"It doesn't matter. If Madam is willing, you can choose where to bury Miss Yueru. When the time comes, I will order someone to bury Miss Yueru properly."

"Thank you, Princess, for being so considerate." Mrs. Xu sincerely thanked her, and this was her last wish.

Unexpectedly, Princess Liu would take the initiative to speak out before she brought it up, with such thoughtful thoughts.It made her feel a little closer, and she had a good impression of Ye Yao.

"Although I asked my master to ask His Royal Highness Prince Liu, hoping that he could bring Yueru back, but after she came back, she was even more unhappy. Maybe, I was wrong." After Madam Xu finished speaking, she couldn't help sobbing softly.

"Ma'am, don't blame yourself. Since it has happened, you must mourn."

"Wang Concubine, let me tell you something of no birth. How can there be a day of peace in the back house? Yue Ru has a cowardly temper since she was a child, and she dare not even speak loudly. I am extremely unwilling to marry her into Prince Liu's mansion, but the heavenly family will, How can we resist it?"
