I was a housekeeper in ancient times

She paused for a moment and whispered, "Don't worry, ma'am. I know what I'm doing."

Yu Muyan looked at her determined eyes and thought that over the past few days, no matter what happened, she was the one who made the decisions and nothing had gone wrong.

We have been master and servant for many years, so I should trust her. She must have her reasons for doing so.

Princess Yiyuan thought Yu Muyan was going to blame her, and hurriedly said, "Madam Lu, it's okay, just listen to this mother's story. What happened later? Did Chen Sheng's stepmother replace her son for the sake of the family business?"

She said: "That's right. Chen's mother had her own biological son, so she wanted to monopolize the family business. Later, Chen went out and died unexpectedly. But the Chen family forced Qin's daughter to die for her husband."

All the people present were married women, and when they heard this, they became indignant and indignant.

Princess Zhaotang said: "The Chen family is so vicious. They want to force the Qin girl to death. Is the Qin girl dead?"

She said: "No one in Qin's family supports her, and her husband's family is pressing her step by step. How can she, a weak woman, protect herself? She also misses her deceased husband and is too sad. What is going on..."

Everyone felt sorry for him.

She continued, "The story is not over yet. Three years after the death of the Qin girl, the dead Chen Sheng suddenly came back with a young woman and a pair of children. It turned out that Chen Sheng had faked his death. He already had a sweetheart, but his sweetheart's family was humble, and the Qin girl's dowry was rich, so he had no choice but to marry her. In order to be with his sweetheart, he teamed up with the Chen family, deliberately killed the Qin girl, and took possession of her dowry..."

Everyone was filled with indignation. Mrs. Cui San said, "Poor Qin's daughter, she married the wrong man and died in vain."

Afraid that Princess Yiyuan would feel aggrieved, she made up an ending where evil would be punished.

In the novel she read, Yu Muyan was reborn after death and was able to seek revenge.

Now that she is here, maybe the process is not perfect, and the evildoers have not received their retribution. But she always believes that everything depends on human efforts, and she will definitely give Yu Muyan a perfect ending and give herself an explanation.

Princess Yiyuan was quite satisfied with what she heard. "Well, this story is fresh and you told it well. There is a reward."

So she got four or five silver ingots, a sandalwood fan, and a plate of pine nut and lily cakes.

She suddenly understood what Granny Liu said in Dream of the Red Chamber: just sweeping the cracks in the floors of rich families would be enough for poor families like them to live on for several months.

Because Madam Liu was not feeling well and did not attend the banquet, Aunt Yan Wei took advantage of the fact that there were so many people around and saw that Wan Jie'er could not sit still, so she took Wan Jie'er out for a walk.

After arriving at Matron Liu's residence, she talked to her for a while, helped her to sleep, and then Aunt Yan Wei took Wan Jie'er to a place with fewer people.

Wan Jieer saw through her thoughts and asked, "Aunt, do you think it's too noisy?"

She nodded with a smile, "There are too many people, it's a bit stuffy."

Coming to a quiet pavilion, there are several clumps of green bamboo planted around it. It is early autumn, the weather is crisp and the air is fresh. The green bamboos sway in the autumn wind, making crisp collision sounds.

There were falling leaves again. Aunt Yan Wei was lost in thought as to what she was thinking about.

Wan Jie'er was still a child after all. When she saw a small and exquisite green lotus and purple hydrangea placed in the corner, she picked it up to play with it.

Half a cup of tea later, Wan Jieer called out from under the tree, "Aunt, come quickly!"

She quickly got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

“The hydrangea is hanging on the tree.”

"so tall."

She looked up and saw the hydrangea was hanging on the branches of the ginkgo tree and couldn't come down.

Wan Jieer asked: "Aunt, what should we do?"

She thought about it, looked around, found a long stick, and poked the hydrangea.

However, she used too much force and poked it too far, and the hydrangea flew far away. As luck would have it, a person was walking over there, and the hydrangea hit that person right on the head.

"Ouch!"

Seeing this, she and Wan Jie'er looked at each other and thought it was over.

She hurried over and apologized repeatedly.

The man rubbed his head and wanted to blame her, but when he saw her, his eyes suddenly brightened up. He held back his words and handed her the hydrangea, "Is this yours?"

She nodded, took it, and led Wan Jie'er back.

The man remained where he was, staring at her back, lost in thought for a long time.

Then, another servant came running over, "Sir, I heard that Madam Lu is in the main hall, talking to the princess."

Coincidentally, this person was Jiang Zhaofang. When he learned that Yu Muyan would come to the Princess's Mansion for a banquet, he also wanted to come and see what was going on. Unexpectedly, he ran into Aunt Yan Wei.

In terms of beauty, what kind of women has he not seen? Aunt Yan Wei is not a beauty, but he can be attracted to her at first sight. The reason is that he is attracted by Aunt Yan Wei's unique temperament.

As for this temperament, he couldn't explain it, he was just inexplicably attracted to it.

The servant Jiang Bao asked, "Sir, what are you looking at?"

He came back to his senses and said, "Nothing, let's go."

When everyone gathered for the banquet, he was still thinking about this matter and was absent-minded.

Jiang Bao even pointed to him quietly, "Look, there's a kid next to her wearing moon-blue clothes. She's Madam Lu."

He looked up casually, through the crowd, and saw Aunt Yan Wei beside Yu Muyan. "The one sitting next to Madam Lu is her sister?"

"What are you looking at, sir? That's her eldest daughter."

"I mean the adult!"

"Oh, it seems to be her foster aunt."

"Bringing Auntie?"

"Yes, I heard that this foster aunt is also the apprentice of the foster aunt of Zhaotang County."

"what is it call?"

Jiang Bao shook his head.

Throughout the banquet, he kept looking at Aunt Yan Wei from time to time.

Jiang Bao was quite puzzled, "Master, is your iron tree blooming?"

He glared at Jiang Bao resentfully, and Jiang Bao shut his mouth sensibly.

Finally, he asked, "Is there no man left in the Lu family's eldest house?"

Jiang Bao said: "No, the whole room is full of women."

This made him a little worried.

By the afternoon, the banquet was over and everyone went their separate ways.

Wan Jieer received rewards from Princess Yiyuen and Princess Zhaotang, and even Aunt Yan Wei received some, so everyone had a good harvest.

On the way back, Aunt Yan Wei asked Lin Weiqiao: "Mom, where did you hear this story? It's so detailed."

Lin Weiqiao smiled and said, "I heard those old people tell me this when I was in the countryside."

When they returned to Shuangxiyuan, Yu Muyan left Lin Weiqiao alone and asked, "Mom, why did you..."

Lin Weiqiao said, "Madam, this matter will be made public sooner or later. Madam and him are still husband and wife, whether he is really dead or fake, we have to share the good and bad times. If one day he wants to drag you down, what should you do? If you can get the princess's side, it won't be so difficult in the future."

Yu Muyan didn't think so far ahead, and never thought that she would become an opposing party with Lu Yuxuan in the future.
