After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

This scene seems somewhat familiar, and is very similar to the snack street in my previous life.

The only difference is that here you don’t have to pay money to buy things. Instead, you can get food and copper coins by saying a few flattering words.

It’s interesting to say that those wealthy families provided free porridge and food for the sake of a good reputation.

Just as Yuxiu walked over, she saw a number of carriages parked one after another not far away. It seemed that the ladies were about to show up.

Sure enough, as the scene became more and more lively, the ladies in the carriages all put on veils and got off the carriages with the help of maids.

Yuxiu also saw a few familiar faces in the crowd. These women from wealthy families usually stayed at home and rarely went out. It was a rare occasion for them to come out and show up. They were all dressed up beautifully, with a complete set of pearl rings and jade pendants.

Originally, she was thinking about going over to see what was going on with her father, but after seeing this scene, Yuxiu no longer had the heart to go over. She watched from across the carriage for a while, and then prepared to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to see the old princess.

Although Prince Ning's Mansion went out to distribute porridge today, none of the masters in the mansion went.

The main reason is that none of the men in their family are at home, and there are no unmarried girls who need to build a good reputation, so everything is left to the housekeeper Wang.

As for the family of the third room, they are now locked up in the yard. Apart from being given some light meals and soup and medicine every day, they are absolutely not allowed to walk out of the yard, let alone go out to distribute porridge.

After this period of arrangements, everyone in the palace knew that the third room's people had tampered with the old princess's medicine and wanted to poison their own mother, which was why the old princess hated them and locked them up with an excuse.

Yuxiu went to see the old princess first and gave her some snacks and supplements. The two talked for a while and then went to see Xu Lewan together.

Xu Lewan had already woken up and was lying on the bed talking to the Second Madam. When she saw Yuxiu and her grandmother come in, she tried to struggle to get up, but was stopped by the old princess.

"Just lie down, why are you getting up?"

The second lady asked the two to sit down and told them about Xu Lewan's current situation.

"Thanks to the medicine prescribed by Madam Cui, Wan'er has had a very good effect after drinking it. Look at her complexion, isn't it much better than that day?"

Indeed, although Xu Lewan looked weak at this moment, her complexion was indeed much rosier, and even her skin condition was better.

"Thank you, sister Yuxiu, for coming to see me and waiting for me. When I get better, I will go to Madam Cui's house in person to kowtow and thank her..."

Xu Lewan's voice was a little choked up. No one knew how sad and desperate she felt that day when she thought she could no longer hold on and would die along with the baby in her belly.

Although she and her husband still had a very strong relationship, she could not handle the large number of people in the Luo family.

The young couple rarely have some time and space of their own every day, as there are always big and small things that come to them automatically.

Especially the sisters-in-law, who tried their best to find trouble for her.

Every time her husband saw her looking unhappy, he would ask her if she had been bullied.

But these were just little quarrels between girls, how could she have the nerve to bring them up to bother him?

"Sister Wan'er, why be so polite? We are all not strangers."

Yuxiu gently sat down beside Xu Lewan's bed, holding her hand and comforting her:

"My mother also said that after you get better, she will prescribe two more doses of medicine for you to take, and I guarantee that you will recover."

Cui did say this. In fact, they are not outsiders. If Xu Qinghe can successfully trace his ancestral roots, then Cui will be Xu Lewan's real third aunt. Aren't they a family?

"Wan'er, don't worry. Your sister Yuxiu is right. With your aunt here, you don't have to worry about anything..."

The old princess' eyes flickered and she spoke with hidden meaning.

She has already asked someone to bring back the old women who served her in the past. Once the matter is thoroughly investigated, their family should be able to be reunited.

The Second Madam and Xu Lewan didn't notice anything unusual and continued to thank Yuxiu.

Xu Lewan still needed to have a good rest, so Yuxiu didn't stay long. She sat for a while and then said goodbye and left.

Not long after Yuxiu and the old princess walked out of Xu Lewan's yard, they heard a commotion coming from the front. Followed by a burst of hurried footsteps, a figure rushed towards them.

"Sister-in-law, I'm glad to see you at last."

The person who came was a woman who looked a little haggard. Although she seemed to be well maintained, the traces of time still remained on her face.

Because she ran so fast, her hair was a little messy at the temples. When she saw the old princess, her face showed surprise but also some resentment.

"I've been back for a few days, but my sister-in-law is so cruel that she refuses to see me. Every time I go to you to pay my respects, those hateful old women say that you are not in good health and cannot see guests. But this is my home, so how can I be considered a guest..."

That’s right, the person who came was Xu Muyun, the old aunt from the Ning Wang Mansion. The old princess still hadn’t seen her these days, which made her very anxious. So, she pushed open the door and ran out while the old women were not paying attention.

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be such a coincidence that she actually met the old princess by chance.

"Isn't it that there are too many things to do at home? I really don't have time to accompany you. You are not an outsider. Can't you understand me, your sister-in-law?"

Before revealing Xu Muyun's true identity, the old princess had no intention of breaking up with her.

"After we sort out our affairs in the next few days, we will not do anything else and just spend some time talking to you."

The old princess said meaningfully.

Xu Muyun didn't pay attention to these. Seeing Yuxiu beside him, he asked curiously:

"This girl is very cute, but I don't know where she comes from. I haven't been in the capital for many years, so I can't recognize her for a while..."

Seeing that Yuxiu was wearing something unusual, she did not dare to offend her, so she began to inquire about her quietly.

"He is just a young man from an old friend's family, who came to visit me, an old lady."

The old princess didn't want to tell Xu Muyun Yuxiu's identity now, so she just said a few words casually and asked Nanny Lin to help send Yuxiu away.

"Since my sister-in-law is busy, I won't bother her any longer. There are still a lot of things waiting for me at the Liu family..."

Xu Muyun was a little unhappy, but because no one paid attention to her, she couldn't vent her anger even if she was angry. She wanted to test her sister-in-law's attitude, so she deliberately dragged out her voice.

"If that's the case, we can't force you to stay here. I'll have Nanny Lin take you back in person."
