It is the time when the clouds stop raining
Chapter 4 A Visitor
There is a visitor today, who is her good friend Zhou Yuqing from her previous life and also Xie Liangping’s illegitimate daughter.
In her previous life, Yun Shu trusted Zhou Yuqing very much. It was not until she was locked up by Fang Tingshen that Yun Shu found out that Fang Tingshen and Zhou Yuqing had known each other for a long time. They were childhood neighbors and had a deep friendship.
Zhou Yuqing came to visit her at that time and said lightly, Yunshu, I know you were wronged.
But so what? You've lived a good life for so many years, it's time to suffer a little. Things will change. Do you know how disgusted I feel when I've been trying to please you for so many years?
Xie Liangping is also my father, why can’t I shout him? Zhou Yuqing finally shouted hysterically.
Yun Shu was very surprised. How could her father be Zhou Yuqing's father? However, her body was severely injured and she couldn't even ask the question in return.
Isn't Zhou Yuqing's father Zhou Tongguang? Zhou Tongguang was his father's study partner when he was young, and could be said to be his father's best friend. With his father's financial support, he started some businesses and lived a good life.
Why did Zhou Yuqing say Xie Liangping was her father? Did her father also have an affair with Mrs. Zhou?
Zhou Yuqing continued: Do you remember the concubine you drove away? At that time, my mother was already pregnant with my younger brother, but because of your mother's domineering behavior, she had a miscarriage and could no longer have children.
Although Xie Yunshu didn't remember much at the time, she could still vaguely remember that her mother was very depressed for a while. She often hugged her and cried, saying that she had put her trust in the wrong person. She also warned Yunshu not to give her true heart to a man when she grew up.
Later, my mother and father had an argument and asked my father to give an explanation. My father knelt down and admitted his mistake, saying that he would send the man away and never contact him again, and asked my mother to forgive him.
It turned out that the concubine was Zhou Yuqing's mother, the culprit who killed her mother.
My father pretended to obey but actually disobeyed and did not send the person away at all. Instead, he left her at the home of his servant. No wonder my father went to Uncle Zhou's home every once in a while. It turned out that he was going to meet the beautiful lady.
Now it seems that the acquaintance between Xie Yunshu and Fang Tingshen was also introduced by Zhou Yuqing.
When Yunshu was five years old, her mother became pregnant again. Uncle Zhou's wife came to visit and gradually started chatting with her mother to relieve her boredom. It was also at that time that Yunshu and Zhou Yuqing became playmates.
Obviously, they were so happy at that time, until their mother was about to give birth, and everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was on high alert.
On a bright afternoon, Yunshu and Zhou Yuqing were playing in the garden, while mother and Aunt Zhou were chatting and laughing in the pavilion.
When Yunshu looked back again, he heard Cui Liu's cry, "The Crown Prince's Consort is about to give birth."
Yun Shu was so happy at that time, it seemed that his younger brothers and sisters were coming out to play with him.
After the maid carried his mother away, Yunshu discovered bloodstains in the pavilion. His mother was bleeding. Although he was very scared, he ran to his mother's bedroom to see her.
When we arrived at the yard, the maids and old women were gathered together, and my brother was standing beside them, waiting anxiously.
Until the sun sets and night falls, Yunshu feels hungry. Her mother said that the birth process of a baby is very slow. Hers took a whole day to be born.
Now they need to be patient.
What I waited for was the news of my mother's death.
This was also the reason why Yunshu agreed when Fang Tingshen later proposed to adopt a child. She was afraid of pregnant women, afraid of hearing the word "delivery", and afraid that she would be like her mother and never wake up again. So Yunshu agreed, thinking that this was a manifestation of Fang Tingshen's love for her and his fear of losing her. It turned out that she was just being sentimental.
Zhou Yuqing came over and Zhu Zhu served him the best tea.
"Yunshu, are you going to your great uncle's house tomorrow? I originally wanted to ask you to go see the osmanthus flowers tomorrow. Don't you know that the osmanthus flowers in Shili Pavilion are in full bloom and the fragrance can be smelled for ten miles?" Zhou Yuqing said happily, as if he could smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers at this moment.
That cute and coquettish expression was Yun Shu’s favorite before. After her mother passed away, it was Zhou Yuqing who stayed by her side and spent those sad nights with her.
It was so ridiculous that Yun Shu suddenly burst into tears.
"Yunshu, you can't go tomorrow, but you can't cry. I'll accompany you in a few days." After saying this, he wiped Yunshu's tears.
Yun Shu moved his body, dodging Zhou Yu's gently extended hand, suppressing the emotions in his heart: "Sister Qingyun said that we have grown up and should behave properly."
Zhou Yuqing didn't like Xie Qingyun. As soon as Xie Qingyun came back, she was with Xie Yunshu every day. Xie Qingyun also didn't like Zhou Yuqing. Even if the two met, she would look down on each other.
"Yunshu, your cousin has bad intentions, ignore her." She didn't believe that Xie Qingyun would care about Xie Yunshu, and that look couldn't lie.
Perhaps due to his upbringing, Zhou Yuqing learned to read people's expressions early on. When he was young, every time Xie Liangping came over, his mother would hold Xie Liangping in her arms, saying that she missed him very much, and would act coquettishly with him and get close to him.
Over time, with just a look from his mother, Zhou Zhouyuqing knew how to talk to his father, what to say, what to ask for, and how to get Xie Liangping to stay over.
If Xie Liangping could stay, Zhou Yuqing could get a candied haws, otherwise, he would be beaten severely.
When she was a child, Zhou Yuqing always wondered why other people’s fathers and mothers lived together, but her father did not live with them, but only came every few days.
Before she could figure out why, after Xie Liangping got up and left that morning, Zhou Yuqing took the copper coins given by her mother to buy candied haws.
The candied haws tasted sweet. Zhou Yu skipped and ate the candied haws while humming a ballad on his way home. Before he reached the door, he saw many people pointing and talking, calling him a shameless vixen.
Only then did she realize that her mother was a vixen, and foxes are pretty, and her mother was pretty, so she was definitely a vixen. But after that, her mother was very sad every day and never went out again. Her father hadn't come for a long time, and the whole courtyard was as silent as the fallen leaves, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
Until one day, someone gave the mother a bowl of medicine. After drinking it, the mother cried and said that the baby was gone, Tangtang, you don’t have a brother anymore, Yun Zhihe, you have such a cruel heart.
At that time, there was no Zhou Yuqing yet, there was only Tangtang who loved to eat candied haws.
Yun Zhihe has a nice name. Although Tangtang is still young, we know that Yun Zhihe must be very happy, because her name is a good proof that her parents put a lot of thought into it.
Why does the mother hate Yun Zhihe? The baby is gone. Does it have anything to do with Yun Zhihe? They don't even know Yun Zhihe.
Later, someone took Tangtang and her daughter on a long journey to a remote mountain village and left them there.
This is Fang Tingshen’s village. As they are of similar age, Tangtang likes this place very much. The sky is high and the land is vast, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. They do different things every day. Fang Tingshen even makes candied haws for Tangtang to eat.
After living there for half a year, someone came to take them back to Zhou's home. Her parents asked her to call a strange man "father", and the man gave her a big string of candied haws.
The candied haws from Jingzhong are still delicious, much better than those made by Fang Tingshen. However, after eating too much of them, she still misses the candied haws made by Fang Tingshen.
"Tangtang, let's go eat candied haws." Xie Yunshu looked at Zhou Yuqing.
She is surrounded by either jackals, wolves, tigers or leopards.
They are all good actors.
The two of them bought a string of candied haws each and came to Zuixianlou. Yunshu said, "Order whatever you want to eat."
"My father gave me a lot of money, so I'll treat you." Zhou Yu ordered a lot of dishes with a light click.
"Has your mother been in the Buddhist temple recently?" Mrs. Zhou built a Buddhist temple in her bedroom. Even if she was worshiping Buddha, could it eliminate the sins in her heart?
"She feels guilty." Zhou Yu took a bite of the candied haws.
"Is it your unborn brother?"
"Yes."
"I should have had a brother or sister once, and you know that."
"Yeah, we have no brothers or sisters anymore."
The food came. It was lunch time and there were still many people in Zuixianlou.
The waiter came up to add tea, and unexpectedly the person who came was Fang Tingshen.
This was something that neither Xie Yunshu nor Zhou Yuqing had expected. "Brother Fang, why did you come to Beijing?" Zhou Yuqing's voice was filled with surprise.
If Fang Tingshen didn't look like her father and had a scar on his hand, Zhou Yuqing wouldn't have dared to recognize him.
Fang Tingshen had been in Beijing for more than ten days. He came here to take an imperial examination. But upon entering the capital, he was so absorbed in admiring the prosperous scene that he didn't even notice his purse was stolen.
That was the whole family's property. Fang Ting deeply regretted it. He was unfamiliar with the place. Although he knew Tangtang was in the capital, he didn't know where to find her.
Soon Fang Tingshen became hungry, and the night was getting colder. He had no food and no place to stay. One day, Fang Tingshen passed by the door of Zuixianlou and found that the building was recruiting waiters.
Coming here to work as a waiter just solved the problem of food and accommodation.
