The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 306 Acknowledging relatives, hatred

Although Mrs. Zhao was obviously crying in her dream, her pulse was not as dangerous as it was at the beginning, and it was much calmer.

After Yun Qi finished writing the prescription, Mrs. Zhao's maid hurriedly took the prescription to the warehouse to grab the medicine.Because of Mrs. Zhao's health over the years, various medicinal materials are always kept in Zhao's residence.

Yun Xi thought of the widow Shen Shi that Ah Xi had mentioned to her, her expression changed slightly, and she said to Zhao Wenshu, "Then where is Shen Shi locked up?"

On Zhao Wenshu's face was deep-rooted disgust, "I asked someone to lock her up in the firewood room for the time being."

Zhao Wenshu is not a fool, and he doesn't think that if a widow has the guts to intentionally murder his wife, there must be someone behind the scenes.

In front of Zhao Wenshu, Yun Xi didn't immediately express her guess about Luo Qing. Luo Qing was Zhao Wenshu's daughter after all. Even though he didn't recognize her now because of his cold heart towards his daughter, the blood relationship could not be broken.If she said it, she would be suspected of framing someone.

She smiled slightly, with a bit of confidence in her smile, "Why don't Mr. Zhao take me there to have a look?"

Zhao Wenshu has always understood Yun Xi's ability, and he is not the kind of character who looks down on women, so he nodded and went with Yun Xi.

As for Zhao Guoping, he continued to stay and watch Mrs. Zhao, waiting for her to wake up.

Not long after, they came to the door of the woodshed. There were four guards in front of the woodshed. Seeing the two of them approaching, the four stepped aside. One of them took out the key and opened the woodshed.

Speaking of which, after entering the mansion, the Shen family also sold her body. With this paper of selling her body, even if the Zhao family sold her to a dirty place, there is nothing to blame.

There was a faint smell of blood in the firewood room, and Shen was beaten to the brink of death, lying on the ground in extreme embarrassment.

Yun Xi looked down at her, Shen raised her head, but there was no expression of fear on her face, as if she had a premonition of her end.

Yun Xi asked directly: "Luo Qing has already recruited."

A trace of panic flashed across Shen's face, and her expression lost her original calmness, "She, how could she?"

Seeing this reaction, Zhao Wenshu couldn't understand that Qing'er had something to do with it, so he couldn't help but stay where he was.Although he didn't intend to recognize the pair of sons and daughters born by Luo Shi, he also thought about sharing five hundred acres of land with each of them, so that they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.Unexpectedly, the daughter was so vicious, trying to plot against him and mad at his wife to death.

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth hooked up, and her words were sarcasm, "I originally guessed it was her, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid, and you would show yourself if you cheated a little."

Shen's face was pale, and she looked at her with resentful eyes, but kept silent about the rest.

Yun Xi felt that it was really disgusting that this person dared to behave like this after harming someone. She turned her head to Zhao Wenshu and said, "Master Zhao, I think it's better to bring Luo Qing here and have a good interrogation." When she said the word interrogation, her tone was murderous.

Zhao Wenshu was silent for a while, and then ordered someone to bring Luo Qing over.

Yun Xi said coolly: "I think you'd better tell the truth, otherwise, if you wait for Luo Qing to come and tell you about you, then don't blame me for being cruel. Everything you want to protect, I will personally destroy it for you look."

The Shen family didn't know Luo Qing's character. When the time came to the end, she was afraid that they would be thrown out by her and become the Zhao family's tools to vent their hatred.Only then did she realize that she was afraid, and said, "You, you can't do this! She is innocent..."

She struggled to hug Yun Xi's foot, Yun Xi kicked it away mercilessly, and said indifferently, "Then Mrs. Zhao is even more innocent? Since you can murder her cruelly and repay your kindness, then you must be prepared to be retaliated against your relatives." Prepare yourself."

Shen Shi herself was not such a strong-willed person, so she was frightened once, and before Luo Qing was brought here, she obediently confessed everything.

Shen herself was a woman from Goulan. Ten years ago, Congliang married a small businessman. Not long after giving birth to her daughter, her husband fell ill and died.In order to support her daughter, Shen had no choice but to re-sell herself and start her old business.It's just that she was unlucky, and she accidentally got Hualiu disease some time ago.

After Luo Qing knew about it, she intentionally bribed her, and made such a move, taking advantage of Mrs. Zhao's kindness, to let Mrs. Shen enter the Zhao residence.

If Zhao Wenshu's will is not so firm, if Shen Shi succeeds, he may also be infected with the willow disease, and he will be able to piss off the frail Mrs. Zhao to death.

Zhao Wenshu's face turned dark after hearing her confession.When he thought that he was almost infected with the dirty disease, he felt unspeakably sick, and looked at Shen with eyes like looking at a dead person.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Zhao family did not find out the details of Shen Shi was because the wicked mother-in-law they met did have a daughter-in-law named Shen Shi, who was often scolded and scolded severely by her, and everyone in the village knew about it.Shen Shi just temporarily pretended to be the daughter-in-law of that wicked mother-in-law for a while to win Madam Zhao's sympathy.

Shen Shi was willing to go all out for Luo Qing, but it was also for her own daughter.Luo Qing promised that she would arrange a proper marriage for her daughter, and gave her 1000 taels of silver so that she could use the money as a dowry for her daughter.

To be honest, Luo Qing may not have so many ladders in her hands. She can take out 1000 taels in one breath, and she can't justify it without her mother Luo Shi's support.

After Shen explained everything, she burst into tears and looked very pitiful, "Please, let my daughter go." She was afraid that Yun Xi would be ruthless and send her daughter to that shady place, so she kowtowed while crying. After a long time, blood oozes from her forehead, and she still repeats this action mechanically as if she is unconscious.

It's just that no matter how pitiful she looks, Yun Xi can't sympathize with her. Not everyone deserves to use the words "excusable".

She frowned and said, "You could tell Mrs. Zhao everything truthfully from the beginning, but you chose this dead end." With Mrs. Zhao's kindness, after knowing these things, she will definitely arrange her daughter properly. of.

She chose to follow Luo Qing's instructions and walk on without hesitation.

It's just that Yun Xi wouldn't be so insane as to shoot an innocent girl.

She frowned, "For the sake of what you've confessed, I won't take action against your daughter, but you won't be able to keep your life."

Shen's eyes regained some brilliance, "This is enough..."

The only concern in her life was her poor daughter.

Yun Xi didn't say another word to Shen Shi, but just waited for Luo Qing's arrival.

Luo Qing was brought over by Zhao's servants. She wore a blue veil on her face, but the exposed forehead could still see pockmarked marks.

Luo Qing said angrily, "Father, even if you want to see your daughter, you don't have to use such a strong method."

When her eyes flicked across Yun Xi, there was a flash of resentment in her eyes.Although she thought she was covering up well, she still couldn't escape Yun Xi's eyes.

Yun Xi took a few steps to the side, just in time for Luo Qing to see Shen Shi lying on the ground behind her.

Luo Qing's face changed slightly, and then she immediately reacted, pretending to be innocent, "Father, who is this?"

Her scheming in the city is quite powerful at her age, but she is still a little tender compared to Zhao Wenshu.

Zhao Wenshu sighed, his tone stripped of all emotions, "Mrs. Yun, I'm a little worried about my wife, can you take care of her for me?"

Yun Xi knew that it was not good for her as an outsider to be present when they were dealing with family affairs, so she nodded and left with brisk steps.Luo Qing really can't fall this time... Such a faint realization flashed in her heart.

Coincidentally, at this time, Ah Xi was also looking for her.

Axi's brows and eyes were lightly relaxed, "Mrs. Yun, my wife has woken up!"

Yun Xi couldn't help but burst into a joyful smile, "That's really great." No wonder Axi looked very happy.

Axi said: "After my wife woke up, she said she wanted to see you. She must have wanted to thank you very much." This time the lady was safe and sound, it was all thanks to Mrs. Yun and the genius doctor.

Yun Xi nodded, "Then let's go."

Axi also asked about Shen's affairs, Yun Xi did not hide her, as the most important maid around Mrs. Zhao, Axi would know about it sooner or later.

Ah Xi gritted his teeth and said, "It's really her fault!"

The rest of the words were vague, and Yun Xi could guess from her expression that she was probably cursing Luo Qing.

She returned to Mrs. Zhao's room with ease. As soon as she entered, she saw Mrs. Zhao leaning on the bed, her soft eyes cast on her.

I don't know if it's Yun Xi's illusion, Madam Zhao's eyes are very complicated, with tenderness, nostalgia... She even saw love?

"You all go down, I have something to say to Yun Xi." Because she just woke up, her voice was weak, but firm.

Soon there were only the two of them left in the room.

Yun Xi sat on Mrs. Zhao's bedside and said, "How do you feel now?"

Mrs. Zhao's throat rolled with a choked voice, and her eyes were filled with tears... Yun Xi realized that her eyes were very well-shaped, giving people a very gentle feeling... There was also an indescribable sense of familiarity.

"What's wrong? Are you in pain? Shall I call Yun Qi?"

Yun Xi thought she was crying because of her physical discomfort.

"Don't." In desperation, Mrs. Zhao quickly grabbed her hand, "Mine is fine, I... just want to see you."

Her voice was full of emotions that Yun Xi didn't understand, and her eyes never moved away from Yun Xi, as if she was afraid of missing a few seconds, revealing her cherishment and nostalgia.

A strange and complicated emotion was rolling in Yun Xi's heart. She didn't quite understand why Mrs. Zhao suddenly became full of emotions for her just after waking up.

"After all these years, I finally see you again."

"You have also become a big girl..."

That's a lot of information.

Yun Xi's mind went blank at this moment, and she stopped immediately, and her language also lost its function. She just opened her mouth wide and looked at Mrs. Zhao with unbelievable eyes.

An absurd thought faintly appeared in her mind.

"You..." After a long time, she barely managed to utter a word, and after rolling her tongue, she finally didn't say it.

She took a deep breath, looking at her.

Although neither of them opened their mouths, they both understood what the other wanted to express.

Yun Xi couldn't tell what mood she was in now, her relatives who she thought had been dead for many years suddenly appeared in front of her, overturning all her past thoughts.It's just that she can't blame the person in front of her, she is also a victim, played by fate.

Mrs. Zhao is actually Yu Qingran...

Although Yu Qingran had disappeared for a long time when she crossed over, perhaps because she inherited her memory, and after staying in this world for a long time, she had a so-called sense of belonging, Yun Xi did regard her as her mother.

After all, she was indeed a gentle and loving mother in memory.

She pursed her lips, and after a little thought, she more or less understood.When Yu Qingran fell off the cliff of Jiulongpo, he didn't really die, but he also lost his memory.Later she was rescued by Zhao Wenshu.

At that time, one of the two lost his memory, like a grass without roots, and the other's family was in trouble, besieged on all sides.The two gradually walked together.

Mrs. Zhao... No, she should be called Yu Qingran, the corners of her mouth curled up, with tears in her smile, "I didn't expect my daughter to be so capable..."

Although she also wanted to find her past, but without any memory and no clues, it was extremely difficult to find it.

Du Yiming's killing of his wife caused a lot of noise a few years ago, but at that time Yu Qingran and Zhao Wenshu were both in Chuzhou, so they only knew a few words about the affairs in the capital, so the specific details were naturally unclear.

Yu Qingran obviously also thought of Du Yiming, his expression was complicated and a little more sad.

Yun Xi held her hand and said, "He deserved what he deserved."

It was very clear to both of them who he was referring to.

It was only at this time that Yun Xi recalled that Zhao Guoping could even be considered her younger brother. As for Zhao Wenshu... he became a stepfather in a blink of an eye?

She was silent for a while, and said: "This matter, after all, don't reveal it."

In the eyes of the world, Yu Qingran was already dead, but now she appeared and became Zhao Wenshu's wife, the wife of the second rank.Yun Xi couldn't help worrying that someone would make a fuss about her identity.Some people even suspected that she didn't really lose her memory, but deliberately concealed her identity to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Yu Qingran was not a fool either, she pursed her lips, feeling a little unwilling after all.She managed to recall her past memories, and finally recognized her daughter, but there were more than ten years and too many problems between them.

As for Du Yiming, Yu Qingran only remembered the scene where he killed her, and the love and friendship in the past were wiped out when he jumped off the cliff.

Yun Xi said: "However...you can be recognized as a foster mother, so you can call your mother brightly."

Yu Qingran's eyes lit up, those beautiful eyes that were quite similar to Yun Xi seemed to be full of stars.

Yun Xi whispered to her about Mrs. Yu, Yu Qingran was startled, and said: "I thought I was an abandoned child, but I never thought that I still have a mother."

It is obvious that she knows that she is not Yu Xiucai's biological daughter.

Yun Xi said: "She was very peaceful when she left. When there is a chance, let's go to Nanzhou to offer a stick of incense to her."

Yu Qingran nodded, and said: "I should also offer incense to my father. I have been so unfilial all these years, and I have never burned a roll of paper money for him."

Yun Xi said: "I have had his tomb repaired a long time ago, and people go to offer incense to him every year and festival."

Yu Xiucai is also her grandfather after all, so Yun Xi naturally won't forget him.In fact, when she was in Fenghuang County, Yu Qingran and Du Yiming also worshiped together, but they both worshiped the Yiguan Tomb at that time.

A thought flashed in her mind: Now I have to order someone to go back and remove Yu Qingran's clothes tomb.

Yu Qingran nodded and said, "You did a good job."

Yun Xi asked: "Do you want to tell Mr. Zhao about this?"

Yu Qingran was silent for a moment, then said: "I don't want to hide him." Between husband and wife, there shouldn't be anything to hide.Zhao Wenshu and her have a very close relationship. There is not only love between them, but also family affection.

Yun Xi said: "You can tell Mr. Zhao and Zhao Guoping, but you don't need to say anything else." If too many people know, it is easy to leak information.

As for the resemblance between Yu Qingran and Yun Xi, this is easy to explain.People who look somewhat similar in this world are not particularly rare, even if people know, they only feel that they are destined.

Seeing her mother's tired expression, Yun Xi hurriedly said: "You should take a good rest these few days, I will leave Yun Qi with you, and he will come back when you recover."

Yu Qingran smiled softly, "Okay."

Yun Xi did not forget to tell her about Luo Qing, which also made her a little wary.

Yu Qingran was silent for a while, and said: "I believe the secretary will handle this matter well." Luo Qing is not her child, so she naturally has many restrictions on her actions.

Because she wanted her mother to have a good rest, even though she had something to say, Yun Xi left first.After the mother's health improves, there is plenty of time.

Well, she can also take her to the Grand View Garden to recuperate for a while, the environment over there is great.

After Yun Xi left the house, she saw Zhao Guoping sitting not far away looking at the lake in a daze.

"Guoping." After knowing that this was her younger brother, Yun Xi's tone was much gentler.

Zhao Guoping was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and lowered his head, "Sister."

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, sensitively sensing something was wrong.This guy used to call her Sister Du or Sister Yunxi, but now she was replaced by a more intimate sister...

"Did you hear our conversation?" she asked in a low voice.

This kid must have eavesdropped on their conversation, that's why he reacted like this.

Zhao Guoping's body trembled, and he took a step back unconsciously.It turned out that there happened to be a lake behind him, and the lake was quite freezing in January. If he fell into it, he would really suffer a lot.

Yun Xi quickly grabbed him to prevent him from becoming a drowned rat.

She was a little helpless, "You, if you keep acting like this, you will be suspicious."

Zhao Guoping looked up at her and said, "No, I won't let others know."

Yun Xi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are about to grow into a man, so you have to protect... your mother."

Zhao Guoping whispered: "Isn't it your mother too?"

His voice subconsciously lowered, and only Yun Xi and him heard it.

Yun Xi chuckled.

Zhao Guoping blushed a little from her smile, turned around and went to the room to see Yu Qingran.

After Yun Xi left Yun Qi behind, she took Li Qiu back.

Li Qiu asked in surprise: "Girl, you seem to be in a good mood, is it because Mrs. Zhao's body has completely recovered?"

"No..." Yun Xi didn't intend to hide Li Qiu from the beginning, after all, she will show some clues when she gets along with her mother in the future. Li Qiu, Yin Dan and Shuang Jiang are by her side all day long, so they will know sooner or later.

She talked about the matter, and Li Qiu was also very surprised.She didn't expect such a coincidence to happen in the world.If it hadn't been for the mistake of our girl to eliminate the congestion in Mrs. Zhao's brain, the mother and daughter who have been separated for more than ten years would never recognize each other one day.

Yun Xi said: "Yeah, I didn't think of it either." She paused and asked, "How will Mr. Zhao deal with Luo Qing?"

I have to help her mother get rid of the threat.

Li Qiu said: "Lord Zhao... let the three of them leave the capital within ten days, and they are not allowed to return. He also sent several guards to watch them."

"The three of them are willing?"

Li Qiu said: "Then Mrs. Shen has already put the confession in custody, and the confession has been well received by Mr. Zhao. If they don't want to, I'm afraid Mr. Zhao will send the confession directly to the yamen to murder the aunt and biological father. If this matter becomes serious, Luo Qing and her mother Luo Shi may not even be able to save their lives, even if they don't want to, they have to leave."

Yun Xi snorted, "It's cheaper for them."

Li Qiu said: "With their temperament, it is normal for something to happen after leaving the capital."

It was also because Luo Qing's attack on Yun Xi and Yu Qingran completely touched Yun Xi's bottom line, so of course Yun Xi would not be sympathetic.

She didn't say anything more, but she acquiesced to Li Qiu's approach.

Neither of them spoke next.

After Yun Shen came back, Yun Xi told him about it.

On February 28, Mrs. Zhao's body improved a lot after recuperating.Yun Xi also recognized Mrs. Zhao as her adoptive mother in front of people, so she was able to call her mother in an open and honest manner.

Regarding this move, the people in the capital only regarded it as a combination of forces from the two families, and never thought of anything else.They only felt that Yunshen's side was getting more and more powerful, and even the censor impeached Yunshen for forming a party for personal gain, but they were reprimanded by Chu Xiyuan.

In fact, Chu Xiyuan really knew the real reason why the two families recognized relatives, and he didn't think that Yun Shen was taking the opportunity to strengthen his power.

As soon as he showed his attitude, others would know that his favor for Yun Shen remained the same as before, so they shouldn't use the so-called crooked thinking anymore.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of February, Little Pudding's birthday party.This time, Yun Shen changed his low-key attitude of last year's full moon, and had a rare and lively celebration.Little Pudding's name has also been determined, and the name is Yun Le.

The two of them, one Yun Huan and the other Yun Le, just happened to make up a joy.

In fact, it's not that Yun Shen didn't think of a more connotative name, but he still chose this one in the end.In other words, this is his simplest and simplest wish for the pair of children, and he only hopes that the two of them can live happily in their lives.

A lot of people came to Yunle's birthday party. It should be said that half of the rich and powerful families in the capital came to watch the ceremony
During the grasping week, the appearance of Chu Xiyuan surprised everyone even more.

Chu Xiyuan was wearing a stone blue robe, which looked a little more elegant and less oppressive.He smiled gently, "Just treat me as an ordinary elder."

That's what he said, but how dare others really do it.

Chu Xiyuan took out a jade pendant and added it in as one of the things to catch Zhou.

In the end, Little Pudding really grabbed the jade pendant that Chu Xiyuan gave him, and the others naturally sent it over with a bunch of flattery, saying that he would be promising in the future.

Yun Xi asked people to put the jade pendant away, but she just felt it was funny: he really didn't think that Zhou Zhou could represent a child's future.

After Chu Xiyuan came to watch the ceremony, he left, as if he was really just an ordinary elder.

Chu Tianzhan also came. He looked at Little Pudding for a while, and then said, "My younger brother is not as good-looking as my younger sister."

Yun Xi thought he was going to say something, but it turned out to be this, so she couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Zhu also nodded with deep empathy, "My brother is not as good-looking as I am, but I will not dislike my brother." Then she said to Chu Tianzhan: "I will not dislike Brother Tianzhan either."

This confidence that she is the most beautiful in the world makes Yun Xi very speechless... But she also feels that when her daughter grows up, the most beautiful woman in Dachu probably won't run away.

It's just that what children should be educated still needs to be educated.

She said seriously: "Whether a person is beautiful or not, the most important thing is the heart, not the appearance."

Zhuzhu said: "My heart is also beautiful!" She also started to talk about the good people and good deeds she has done recently with her fingers.

Lu Yiran was directly amused by her, and hugged her, "Yes, our Zhuzhu is the most beautiful."

Yu Qingran always looked at Zhuzhu and Little Pudding with an indulgent and loving smile. These two are her grandson and granddaughter, and she felt that she couldn't love each of them.

……

After Little Pudding's weekly feast was over, Yun Xi continued to live her peaceful life, but she didn't expect that the peaceful life would be broken in an instant.

On the thirteenth day of February, she was listening to Zhuzhu's reciting at home, when suddenly, Yuchan, Yang's servant girl, came over anxiously, "Young Madam, hurry back to the mansion, something serious is not right!"

There were even a few drops of blood on her face.

Yun Xi was startled suddenly, "What happened?"

Yuchan was about to cry, and said: "My uncle went to the mansion aggressively just now, and talked with him, and there seemed to be a dispute between the two, and my uncle directly stabbed me with a sword."

Uncle... Isn't that the little uncle Meng Liang?
Meng Liang was sent to the border by Chu Xiyuan last year, and he couldn't even make it back for Little Pudding's birthday party some time ago.After all, a general has not received the imperial edict, nor can he leave his position without authorization.

Yun Xi knew that Meng Liang always looked at his father-in-law Yun Mu very disliked because of the hardships that Yun Shen had suffered in these years, and he would always stab a few words when they met.This situation improved a little after Zhuzhu was born.

It's just... no matter how bad the relationship between the two is, Meng Liang won't be able to stab Yun Mu directly, will he?

She couldn't sit still any longer, and let Shuangjiang take care of Zhuzhu, while she hurriedly took Yun Qi to Yunfu.She didn't forget to ask someone to notify Yun Shen in the palace.

"What did the two of them say?" She asked Yuchan to see if she could get more information from her.

Yuchan shook her head, "At that time there were only the two of them in the study, no one in the house would dare to eavesdrop on them."

Yun Xi pursed her lips and frowned fiercely.It seems that we can only wait and ask the parties.

When she saw Meng Liang again, she was really taken aback by his state.

In her impression, Meng Liang has always been a gentle and unassuming elder, he doesn't seem to get angry, even if Zhuzhu pulls his beard, he can still play with Zhuzhu with a smile on his face.Meng Liang's lips were tightly pursed, and his body exuded a frightening aura, which made the people present tremble, and they didn't dare to approach him, for fear of leaving behind Yun Mu.

A lot of blood was splashed on his clothes, and his expression was cold.He heard footsteps, raised his head, and his expression softened after seeing Yun Xi, "You're here."

Yun Xi winked and asked Yun Qi to treat Yun Mu first.

Seeing his small movements, Meng Liang sneered and said, "There's no need to save him, there's no need for a scum like him to live in this world." His voice was freezing cold, revealing an unforgettable hatred.

Yes, when he talked about Yun Mu, it was like talking about the greatest enemy in his life.

Yun Xi didn't know what happened to make Meng Liang suddenly hate Yun Mu so much.Could it be that Meng Zhiyun's death was actually caused by Yun Mu?

No matter what, she couldn't let Yun Mu die.It's not because she has feelings for Yun Muduo, but because if Yun Mu is a Duke at any rate, if he dies at the hands of Meng Liang, Meng Liang might not be able to do well.

She told Yun Qi to go over quickly, Yun Mu's health was not good, and his life might be in danger if the sword went down.

Yun Qi hurried over, racing against time.

Meng Liang stared at her stubbornly, but did not stop her after all.

Yun Xi asked everyone around to retreat, leaving only her and Meng Liang.Yindan and Liqiu stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Yun Xi sighed for a long time, and said, "Uncle, he cannot die by your hands."

"I know." Meng Liang paused, "It's just that as a child, I can't stand the enemy appearing in front of me."

Yun Xi was stunned.
