He was a little hurt.
She was the same age as Xie Jingyu, the same age, and he was still the same flamboyant man from before, while she was already dying.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing her standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Xie Jingyu's tired face showed a huff.
He lowered her head, "Your Excellency, I did something wrong and am willing to be punished, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to be tortured to death ... Aunt Tao, with the Lady's acquiescence, cut off the food from the small temple, which is an attempt to cut off my life ... "
Xie Jingyu pinched his brow.
He had just returned from Lord Yu's residence and had spent most of the day in the Yu residence, but he had not even seen Lord Yu's shadow.
Once upon a time, Lord Yu had treated him quite well, taking him along with him to whatever social functions he attended, allowing him to meet many big names in the official world.
Seeing that the test was imminent, Lord Yu suddenly didn't treat him well.
He really didn't understand what he had done wrong.
There was nowhere to talk about the day's boredom, but as soon as he came home, he was dragged by He to talk about these trivial matters.
He is not a person who loses his temper easily, but this will also be a bit taut, coldly speaking, "It is you who must stay in the Xie mansion, then no matter what kind of treatment you suffer, that is your own choice. For another, I asked you to be grounded in the small temple, yet you appeared at the door of my study, since you don't take my words seriously, then I'll have to arrange for someone to stand guard at the door of the small temple."
He's lips froze violently.
She thought of the first time she'd seen him, long, long ago, and the way he'd looked at her with awe in his eyes.
She thought of the heartache in this man's eyes after giving birth to Angele.
She thought of the tenderness she'd felt years ago when she'd lived with her three children on the outskirts of the capital and he'd come once a month.
Since living in the Xie mansion, she and he, became master and subordinate, her address, from Yulang, changed to adults ...
It wasn't until this moment that she realized that they couldn't seem to go back to the old days.
"Still not going?"
Xie Jingyu's voice was filled with impatience.
Tears suddenly came to He's eyes.
She took great pains to let the children recognize their ancestors, she tried to find ways to stay with Xie Jingyu, she was willing to be a slave but also wanted to be together as a family ... Her sacrifices, did this man really see them?
"Yes, my lord, I'm on my way."
He bent his knees and turned away, weeping with tears.
Looking at her back, Xie Jingyu couldn't help but sigh, keeping her in the Xie family was already for the sake of former affection.
If he did more for He, it would definitely arouse Yun Chu's suspicion, and he still had to rely on the Yun family's power to level the playing field, so how could he fall out with Yun Chu?
Back at the small temple, He's heart was as if it were a dead weight.
She also has to watch An Geer take the examination to become a scholar and become a big official, but also to personally send Ping sister to get married, but also to watch the but brother s son have a good future ... She must not die in this small temple.
Since Xie Jingyu couldn't be relied on, he could only rely on himself.
She wrote a letter in which she gave the only bracelet on her wrist to the young nun and begged her to help deliver it.
"Oh, she wants to send a letter to Steward He of the outer courtyard?" Yun Chu looks at the little nun who came forward to report, "Then you can send it out to her."
The little nun answered and took the letter to the outer courtyard.
Listening to Frost, she said with some surprise, "He has the same surname as Steward He of the Outer Courtyard, could the two be related?"
Yunchu nodded, "The two are approximately siblings, if you want to find out He's identity, then you have to start with He Xu."
He's identity must be extraordinary, otherwise she would definitely Xiao want the position of the main mother, even if she couldn't be the main mother, then she would definitely be willing to be an aunt.
She had a vague guess in her mind, but no one would believe it if she said it without evidence.
Whether or not it could completely cut off Xie Shi'an's career path depended on He's status.
At this time, the boy from the front yard ran to reply, "Ma'am, I went to the Yun Mansion, and the people from the Yun family said that the eldest young master will return to the capital tomorrow morning."
Yunchu stood up violently.
Jizhou is not too far from the capital, but the big brother needs to work in Jizhou, can return to the capital so early is really out of her expectation.
The rest of the day was difficult, and early the next morning, she took a carriage back to the Yun family.
It is just that after Yun Ze returned to the capital, he first went to the imperial city to resume his orders, and only came back at noon, he was all tired, and his sister-in-law, Liu Qian Qian, took him back to change his clothes first.
Lin asked curiously, "Chor, is there something important you and your big brother are doing?"
After her daughter came home, she had been restless, frequently looking outward, and it was only when Yun Ze came back that this anxiety eased a bit or two.
Yun Chu was busy pulling out a smile, "The Xie family's old mansion is located in Jizhou, my husband hasn't gone back for many years, I was trying to find big brother to inquire about the situation over there."
Lin nodded thoughtfully.
When Yun Ze changed his clothes and came over, Lin took Liu Qian Qian out of the flower hall, leaving space for the two of them, brother and sister.
"Big brother." As soon as Yun Chou opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, "Is the child ... already back?"
Yun Ze opened his lips, but he couldn't say a word.
If he had picked up those two poor children, he would have told his sister at the first opportunity, instead of taking the opportunity to change his clothes to think about how to gloss over the matter.
The light in Yunchu's eyes slowly disappeared and her voice became even more mute, "Big brother?"
Yun Ze sighed: "Chor, I personally went to the Xie family Jizhou's old mansion, looking for the clan to ask the child's burial place, but the clan's old man told me, four years ago, the capital Xie family has not sent people back, moreover, never heard of Xie Jingyu's first son and daughter has long been aborted, Xie family people lied to you ... "
Boom.
Yunchu felt her head explode.
Her form swayed and she held onto the table to keep from falling.
She closed her eyes and took a few slow deep breaths before her entire being slowly calmed down.
"Thank you, thank you big brother!"
She spat out a few words with difficulty, turned and headed out the door.
"Hatsuko."
Yun Ze pulled her wrist in spite of the sibling nuisance.
"Big brother accompanies you back together."
Yun Chu pressed Yun Ze's arm, her voice muffled to the extreme: "I can face these things on my own, if I really can't handle it, then go home to ask for help from big brother."
She turned and took a step outside.
In the past, she would have gone to say goodbye to her mother and sister-in-law before leaving.
But now, she was out of it.
Listening to Frost holding her up, she quickly walked outside the Yun Mansion and got on the carriage, urging the driver to go faster, faster.
The carriage sped through the streets and soon returned to the Xie family.
She sprinted in and sat weakly in the flower hall, her voice laced with a deep chill, "Bring He here."
The two grannies had never seen such a madam before, the two of them looked at each other and rushed to the small temple to get someone.
He was lying on the bed with a weak body, she had been injured before without medical treatment, and hadn't eaten a full meal for many days, so her body was really a little unable to hold out.
She had just closed her eyes when the door to the compartment was kicked open.
She was startled, thinking that Aunt Tao had brought someone with her, and when she looked up, she saw that it was actually the rough servant girl from the Yusheng Residence.
It's someone sent by Madame.
Her Ladyship has always been hypocritical, even if she wanted to deal with her, she would have Aunt Tao come out, how could she send someone herself?
Without much thought, He was picked up by two grannies and dragged outside.
