Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 244 Aunt Shen Shen, Shoveling Flowers and Changing Plaques (2)
She does not fight or fight, lowers her posture, pretends to be peony and does not compete with the royal family, so she naturally wins the appreciation and love of the elder.Besides, at that time she gave birth to Qiu Mingshan, all she wanted was to fulfill her humility.No man will remain unmoved.

Aunt Yun is actually only in her thirties. Although her appearance is not particularly outstanding, she is more gentle and quiet, her eyebrows are delicate and soft, her skin is as smooth and soft as a peeled egg, and her figure is also protruding. Concave, full of feminine charm and the style of a young woman.

At this moment, she was squatting in front of the door and pruning the flower branches, followed by the servant girl Congxue.The lake blue long dress with golden catkins and floral flowers wafts the fragrance of peonies in the breeze, and the long hair is loose and curled up, vertical to the waist, intertwined with the yellow wreath around the waist.His eyebrows are picturesque, and his lips are like vermilion.There are peonies everywhere, she looks like a foil of green leaves, and like a swaying hyacinth.

Even though her eyes are bright and picturesque, she has her unique beauty.

Such a woman should be regarded as attractive to men.But why, just can't get into the eyes of the elder?
Qiu Mingshan stood still, frowning in deep thought.

"Miss Jiu, what's the matter?" Bingfan asked in confusion when he saw her stop.

Aunt Yun raised her head when she heard the voice, and smiled.

"Mingshan, come here."

Qiu Mingshan walked over, "Auntie, do you have anything to do with me?"

Aunt Yun handed the scissors to Congxue, and asked calmly: "I used to pay my respects to the old lady, why haven't I seen you for so long?"

Qiu Mingshan said: "When I came out from my grandmother just now, my mother had an argument with Fifth Miss, and Third Miss fainted."

Aunt Yun was cleaning her hands in the basin brought by the maid, her expression remained the same when she heard this, she didn't even frown.

"I know."

"You know?" Qiu Mingshan was surprised, the incident happened not long ago, and the old lady's courtyard is not that close to Shaoyuan.Aunt Yun is quiet by nature and lives here alone.The maids around her hardly ever step out of the Shaoyuan, except for the monthly distribution of clothes and materials in the mansion on time.Logically speaking, even the speed of gossip and rumors shouldn't be so fast?

unless--

Qiu Mingshan thought of a possibility, "Auntie, you?"

Aunt Yun turned her head and smiled at her.Before Qiu Mingshan could say anything, it was drowned in Aunt Yun's smile.

"Mingshan, you are still young, and you don't fully understand the unpredictability of people's hearts. But you have to know that to live in this big mansion, you have to learn to assess the situation. Before you have nothing, you must hide all your sharpness in order to 'survive' well. .”

When she said the last sentence, her bright eyes flashed sharply like lightning, as if she wanted to see the depths of Qiu Mingshan's heart.

Qiu Mingshan was stunned by that gaze, and she lowered her head slightly dodging her gaze.

"Yes, Mingshan knows."

Aunt Yun didn't say anything else, she just smiled.Asked while walking to the back room.

"Why didn't you go to see your third sister?"

Qiu Mingshan followed, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, it's not like you don't know Third Sister's temper. At this moment, she is angry. If I go now, I will bring shame on myself? I don't want to touch this bad luck."

Aunt Yun glanced at the look of disgust on her face, and said lightly: "She is your older sister. As a younger sister, my older sister is sick. If you don't visit her, people will say that you are disrespectful and disrespectful to sisters."

Qiu Mingshan raised her head in astonishment, but Aunt Yun was already sitting on the rose chair with sour pear branch Luan pattern, drinking tea leisurely.The fragrance of tea was faint and the smoke was billowing, making her brows more hazy and mysterious.

Qiu Mingshan suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart, and lowered her head guiltily.

"Auntie, I..."

Aunt Yun put down her teacup, picked up the embroidery shed next to her, and embroidered the peony spring scene stitch by stitch.

"Huh?" She didn't raise her eyes, and hummed casually, but it gave people a sense of nervous suffocation and oppression.

Qiu Mingshan bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "May I retreat?"

Only then did Aunt Yun look up at her, and seeing that she looked a bit cautious, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and then said calmly: "You all go down."

"Yes." Congxue and Bingfan walked out automatically.

"Tell me, what do you want to say?" Aunt Yun put down the embroidery shed and asked calmly.

Qiu Mingshan weighed and pondered in her heart, and took a few steps forward.

"Auntie, the third sister may marry the second son Xue."

Aunt Yun raised her eyebrows, "Second Young Master Xue? Second Young Master Xue Guohou's Mansion?"

Qiu Mingshan nodded, "Yes, that's him." In fact, Qiu Mingshan didn't know about the accidental skin-to-skin relationship between Qiu Mingyu and Xue Yujie that night.She only found out about it by chance after she came back from the mountain.

Aunt Yun looked indifferent, but her eyes were obviously a little more emotional.

"What did you know? Or, what happened during those two days at Baohua Temple?"

After thinking for a while, Qiu Mingshan still told everything that happened in Baohua Temple in detail.But she cleverly concealed the scene of being framed and Xue Yuhua lying on the ground with her arms around her, and also omitted the incident in the gazebo that day.Even when she met Pei Sqi when she was going down the mountain, she also said it out one by one.

Aunt Yun was silent for a while, and said: "That's all, why do you conclude that your third sister will marry the second son of Xue? She is the eldest daughter of the eldest son, how can the eldest wife be willing to let her marry a concubine?"

Aunt Yun, the daughter of Mo Ruomu, naturally discovered Qiu Mingshan's concealment and guilt from the occasional flashes and pauses in Qiu Mingshan's words.The faint words contained a deterrent pressure.

Qiu Mingshan bit her lips again, "Yesterday afternoon in the garden, I heard two maids whispering, saying that Third Sister is...not..."

With an innocent body, Qiu Mingshan still couldn't say these words.

Aunt Yun squinted her eyes, "How can rumors be taken seriously?"

"No, it's not a rumor." Qiu Mingshan eagerly defended, "Auntie, the third sister was very strange that night. Such a big thing happened, and it was about Xue Guohou's son, and she didn't show up. Auntie, think about it When I was in the mansion before, when did the third sister keep pestering the son? She went up the mountain for the sake of the son. But that night, she didn't show up. And I heard that the mother was very angry that night, and she didn't know what it was What is it for. Aunt, don't you think this matter is suspicious? "

Aunt Yun took another sip of tea and looked at her indifferently, "Mingshan, you have something to hide from me."

Qiu Mingshan was a little flustered, her eyes dodged, "Wow, where is it?"

Aunt Yun smiled lightly, a deep smile, and Qiu Mingshan had nothing to hide under that gaze.She bit her lip and was quickly discouraged.
