Concubine Shang Yunxiao

Chapter 2

The old house in Yuan Mansion looked deserted and quiet amidst all the sounds of silence.

Yuan Xi suddenly fell silent, and slowly withdrew his hand and stood upright.The snow water condensed along her slender and clear fingers on the tip of her full ruddy nails, and finally dripped.

She always likes to catch the snowflakes and drizzle falling from the sky with her hands.She thought they were all gentle.

"Miss, it's snowing so much, what are you doing standing outside? It's so cold, come in and warm yourself by the fire, we're going to eat soon." The crisp voice of Yue Li came from behind.

Yuan Xi turned around, smiled slightly at Yue Lie, then turned back to look at the snow in the sky.Yue Xie was also a poor orphan who was bought in when Yuan Yue Sheng was reinstated.Soon after, his father was promoted, and all the servants followed him to Beijing to enjoy the blessings. Only Yuexiu asked to stay and take care of the old lady who refused to leave her hometown.

After the old lady passed away, she was also unwilling to leave Yuan Xi's mother and daughter.She is three years older than Yuan Xi, but now she takes on all the rough chores.Although she has a beautiful face, her hands are covered with calluses.

Yuan Xi didn't let her call her Miss, she couldn't change it.The three people in this old house who have no distinction between master and servant are a family.

After the old lady passed away, Yuan Yuesheng became a complete stranger.Only a little bit from time to time is not enough to maintain the family.

Is it because the weather is too cold, or Yuan Xi is thinking too much at this time, why did that blue-gray figure appear in front of her eyes, walking towards her step by step through the door that has long been without a door panel.

Behind him was a woman in a red cloak and a boy in white.In the snow, the red color like blood made Yuan Xi feel oppressed, she took a step back subconsciously.

The handsome young man with bright eyebrows and twinkling eyes walked more and more slowly, and finally he stopped in the yard, looking around the familiar courtyard.Occasionally seeing the vermilion paint on the corridor pillars mottled, damaged and cracked, I couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Yes, it's the master?" Yue Li whispered behind Yuan Xi.The sudden appearance of a man who hadn't seen his face for several years was a surprise.

Yuan Yuesheng was getting closer and closer to Yuanxi, but her feet couldn't move as if they had taken root.She shouldn't have let him see, even if he came suddenly.But she couldn't move, she looked at Yuan Yuesheng vividly.
