Chapter 278 Is His Person (2)
"Go back and rest. You see, except for you, none of the other brothers and sisters are here; I know that they don't care about the old lady, but they know better. If you don't disturb the old lady, it is true filial piety to the old lady." .do you understand me?"

The girl lowered her eyes slightly, and after a while, she put aside the coldness in her eyes, and said slowly: "I understand what Ma'am means, not caring is the real caring. Well, since Ma'am insists, I'd rather be respectful than obey, go back first Take a rest, it will be hard work for you, madam."

Xia Xue followed Dongfang Yu out of the Cijing Hall, and then asked with a strange expression: "Miss Yu, it seems that apart from Madam, the other aunts are really indifferent to Madam!"

"How do you know?" The girl smiled coolly, her eyes flickering darkly, "Maybe they are the same as me, but they were sent back by the madam. After all, the madam is the head of the house."

Xia Xue was stunned, squinted her eyes and looked at the girl's faintly smiling face with suspicion, and asked, "Does Miss Yu really think so?"

Dongfangyu kicked the stones on the side of the road casually, and said casually: "What I think is not important, what matters is what the nobleman in the palace thinks."

She paused, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Let's go back to sleep quickly, the mansion will definitely be very lively tomorrow."

Xia Xue was startled, "Miss Yu is really going back to sleep? Aren't you planning to go to the Cijing Hall to find out?"

"There's nothing to explore." Dongfang Yu lowered her head and walked in a loose and casual posture. While kicking the stones under her feet, she wobbled forward with her figure-of-sight steps, "Think about it, the old lady is sick. It's really timely, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, I remember the Queen Mother's order, the last date for Dongfang Wu to go to Qingxin Temple is set for tomorrow."

Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, then she pondered for a while, secretly chewing on what she meant by the phrase "really timely".

In the early morning, before the hour came, my aunt, Dongfang Rou, brought her one son and two daughters, and knocked on the door of Dongfang Mansion early.

"Miss, it's really strange. Auntie and the others came so early. How did they know that the old lady was sick?"

Just as Dongfangyu got up from the bed, he heard Yanzhi chattering in surprise.

"Well, how did you know they were coming?"

"Your servant heard what the boy guarding the door said." Yan Zhi thought for a while, "I also heard that my aunt's expression is very sad."

Dongfang Yu said leisurely while putting on his clothes: "Oh, it may be that the madam sent someone to tell my aunt the news that the old madam was seriously ill last night."

"Miss?" Yanzhi stopped her movements in surprise, stared at the careless girl, straightened her body, and said seriously: "According to my Dongcheng's rules, no matter what the big event is, after nightfall and Haishi, no one is allowed to send someone Disturb the married daughter."

Dongfangyu raised his head in astonishment when he heard the words, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there such a rule?"

She was stunned, and said dumbfounded: "Then what if something murders and arson happens in my natal family? Or maybe my parents died suddenly at night, and I want to see my daughter before I leave?"

Yan Zhi gave Dongfang a dissatisfied look, and muttered: "Miss, where are you talking, we Dongcheng Guotai Minan, there are these horrible things you said; as for wanting to see her daughter, whose daughter heard that her parents were sick , I have already rushed back to my mother’s house, and my children were not by my side when I left.”

Dongfangyu frowned, showing serious suspicion, and murmured: "No? But why do I feel that there are evils breeding everywhere at night?" If parents and children are against each other, she thinks, some people can hardly see each other before they die. to their children.

"Miss, it's time to eat." Mother Luo yelled outside when she heard their voices.

"Okay." Dongfangyu responded casually, and after putting on his clothes, he muttered to himself: "Could it be that they have formed a solid iron triangle?"

After breakfast, Dongfang Yu decided to visit the Cijing Hall in person.

When she passed by, she found that Dongfang Rou and his wife had moved away and did not stay in the Cijing Hall; she wanted to take the opportunity to go in and see the old lady, but the four mothers arranged by the lady firmly guarded the door and resolutely kept her shut out.

Dongfangyu didn't force it, anyway, she had already confirmed her guess through the reactions of these people, so she turned and went to the main hall of the main house; from a distance, she heard the madam say politely: "Grandma, don't worry, I will let the doctor take care of you." The one who healed the old lady."

Dongfangyu paused a little when he heard the words, then walked in with a smile.Seeing Madam sitting in the first seat, and Dongfang Rou sitting in the lower seat on her left, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be very harmonious; there was absolutely no awkwardness as before.

But I didn't see the cousins ​​of those common people; even Dongfang Xian and Dongfang Wu were not there.

Dongfang Yu said a few words casually, and then left.

Yizhi, who was urged by the Queen Mother to leave for Qingxin Temple, arrived again in the afternoon; but the father-in-law who announced the decree brought back the news that the old lady of Dongfang Mansion was seriously ill.

"Well, what a coincidence it is!" The queen mother lowered her eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The eunuch passing the decree glanced at the changing face of the Queen Mother, and asked cautiously: "Queen Mother, what about Dongfang Wu's departure for Qingxin Temple?"

The queen mother fiddled with the gorgeous finger cots, and said slowly with a cool voice: "Forget it, I, Dongcheng, pay attention to filial piety; since her grandmother is seriously ill, let her stay in the mansion for the time being."

The queen mother's order to avoid Dongfang Wu and go to Qingxin Temple was quickly spread; Dongfangyu knew about it and showed no surprise.

Dongfang Wu and Bai Nihong were undoubtedly very happy to receive this order.

Even the sad atmosphere of the old lady's "serious illness" could not affect their happy mood at this moment.

"Miss, look at the eldest lady, doesn't she feel that she is too much?" Rouge looked at the girls in the garden who had been laughing and laughing, with disdain and anger in her eyes, and said: "The old lady is lying on the bed. She can't get up on the bed, but she doesn't have any self-consciousness as a granddaughter, so if she's just pretending to be in front of others, they should pretend to be here."

"Yan Zhi, you forgot again." Dongfang Yu leisurely stood still under a big tree, looked at the laughing girls at the garden pavilion, and said coolly: "You can't just look at the surface in everything; People are too sick to get out of bed; but in fact, have you seen it? Can you be sure that the old lady really can't get out of bed?"

When Yan Zhi heard the words, she was stunned in astonishment. After a long while, she looked at the girl with clear eyes and amazing clarity, and asked in a daze: "What do you mean by Miss? Could it be possible that the old lady is seriously ill and can have a fake?"
