Yixiu naturally wouldn't leave either.

If she went back without even finishing her meal, even Fei Yanggu wouldn't say anything, but I'm afraid Duo Luogege wouldn't be able to hold back.

If this affects the reputation of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, it would be a loss.

But she had to wait for Fei Yanggu and Duoluo Gege to give in voluntarily.

Sure enough, the wait came soon.

"Good boy, you've worked so hard all the way here. Eat your meal first, and we can talk about the rest later, okay? Your mother is just anxious, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. She's doing this for your own good."

Fei Yanggu looked at his daughter in front of him and tried to persuade her in a gentle voice. He didn't want to have the reputation of having his daughter sent away in anger before even finishing a meal when she returned to her parents' home.

Duoluo Gege turned her body to the side and said nothing. Since Fei Yanggu had said so, she was not so domineering as to oppose him in public.

The meal was thrilling, but at least everyone managed to eat a few bites.

--------

After dinner, Yixiu just returned to her Linglongxuan. She lay on the familiar little bed, thinking carefully about how to find out the cause of her mother's death.

After thinking it over, she thought that she might have to start with the old people in this mansion.

Before returning, Fangluo asked again in detail, and she only recalled that after her mother gave birth to her, she was taken care of very carefully, and all her food, clothing and other expenses were very exquisite.

Why did my mother die suddenly?

She had thought about this question when she was a child.

However, everyone told her at that time that her mother left her when she was young because she was unlucky.

When she got angry at the dinner table just now, besides because she didn't want to endure Doroggege any longer, she also had a testing intention.

She believed that no matter how Amafeyangu ordered not to make public what had just happened, someone in the palace would know about it.

If someone with ulterior motives saw her current state, they might take the initiative to come to her house and reveal the details.

"Beep, beep."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Yixiu stood up from the bed, her nerves tense.

It was Luyun who poked her head in, and Yixiu relaxed again. Luyun was only seventeen years old, younger than herself. She couldn't expect such a little girl to know the hidden story in the palace ten years ago.

As soon as they met, Lu Yun rushed to Yi Xiu: "Sister Yi Xiu, you were so majestic just now. I secretly looked at the faces of those two women, and I was so happy!"

Yixiu scolded: "Little kid, you always talk about life and death, it's unlucky!"

Luyun seemed not to hear and sat directly on Yixiu's bed.

Her background is actually worse than Yixiu's.

She lost her mother and father when she was young, and had been living in the Ulanara family. Although she had enough food, she did not receive any more care.

If Yixiu could still get some attention from Fei Yanggu and suspicion from Duoluo Gege and Rouze, then Luyun was like a wild child in this mansion.

Perhaps the only special thing about it is its name, Green Cloud. Where are the green clouds?

It is said that he was named Green Cloud because he was born on a rainy day in summer, with green trees outside the house and colorful clouds floating in the sky.

The name was chosen unintentionally, but it contains some charm.

Yixiu always thought this name was very interesting.

And this green cloud is like summer. No matter when you see her, even if her clothes are torn, she can still smile brightly.

Yixiu smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated my sister yet and arranged the marriage." She reached out and pulled out a hairpin from her hair and said, "This was given by the prince when Honghui was born, so I gave it to my sister as a gift."

Lu Yun accepted it with a smile, and then stretched out her arm to wrap around Yi Xiu's waist and said, "Sister, you haven't come back since you got married. Don't you know that although there are many people in this mansion, there is no one to talk to me anymore."

Yixiu smiled but said nothing. After she became queen, Lu Yun rarely appeared in her life.

Maybe I was too busy at that time and neglected my childhood playmates.

Seeing each other again now, it feels a bit familiar.

"Sister, I miss my mother. Do you miss your mother too?"

Lu Yun buried herself in Yi Xiu's arms for a long while, and said in a muffled voice: "The meal just now was said to be for everyone to eat together, but everyone could see that it was all Rou Ze's favorite food. However, I'm afraid no one knows what our two motherless children like to eat."

Yixiu's heart moved, and she wondered how this little girl's words could hit people in the heart.

"I love eating lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, preserved plum pork ribs, three fresh bamboo shoots and tofu soup, and hot milk with nectar..." Lu Yun rattled off a string of names, and finally told Yi Xiu:

"Sister, please help me remember, so that someone will know what I like to eat!"

When Luyun raised her head again, there was a bright smile on her face again, and her eyes were sparkling, as if the person who had just complained in a muffled voice was not her.

Yixiu burst out laughing.

--------

"Have you been happy in your mansion these past two years?"

Yixiu asked, changing the subject.

Lu Yun raised his head and thought for a while: "It doesn't matter whether I'm happy or not, I'm living alone, but there's something unhappy happening recently."

She pouted and said, "Sister, my wet nurse is old. I wanted to arrange for her to live out her old age in the manor after I got married and become a respectable woman on the farm. But Duoluo Gege said that the wet nurse is not yet at the age required by the manor to be released, and she refused to let her live out her old age."

Yi Xiu was moved and asked, "How old is your nurse now? You will be married and unfamiliar with the place, so it would be good to bring a reliable old lady with you."

Lu Yun shook her head and said, "Sister, you don't know, my nanny said that she doesn't want to stay in a family like ours anymore. My mother died early, and in my heart, my nanny is half my biological mother. I don't want her to suffer with me anymore. Although she is only in her forties now, since she has this idea, I will naturally try my best to fulfill it."

But what Yixiu heard was completely different information.

She had been managing the household for many years and knew very well that for a woman in her forties who was the wet nurse of a young lady who was already engaged, how much was her monthly salary, how much was her reward during the annual festivals, and what was the probability that she would be flattered by the servants in the mansion?

Now that his young lady has finally gotten married and is a concubine, it is the time for him to be powerful and influential. Why would he want to leave?

Yixiu knew these things, and Luyun's wet nurse would also be able to find out if she asked a few more questions.

She had finally made it to the top position among the servants, but now she had to resign. Unless this wet nurse had a grudge against money, she would never have made such a confusing calculation.

Yixiu's face suddenly darkened, and he asked, "Luyun, you came to my room to look for me. Did you want to come, or did someone else ask you to come?"
