The general kneels on the washboard again

Chapter 2: Going to Grandmother

The night was eerily quiet. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up the yellow paper on the ground and spread it all over the yard.

Yue Niang hid in the coffin, closed her eyes tightly, and every breath she took took a huge amount of effort.

Several pairs of sharp eyes glanced at Dongzhu, who was dressed as a maid, at the courtyard gate. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

After about an incense stick of time, they dispersed.

Tian was furious when she heard the news in Mudan Garden.

"You're useless! What's the use of you? You can't even catch a child."

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Mother He said softly, "Miss, I will carry you out in the morning. Please be patient. I have seen the scene outside."

But Yue Niang didn't dare to say anything!

At the sound of the cock's crow, the servants in each courtyard got up one after another to serve, and then Mother He carefully carried the stiff Yue Niang out.

Mother He called out several times, "Miss, Miss." Yue Niang didn't react yet.

Dong Zhu said in a daze: "Miss, are you scared silly?"

Yue Niang knocked her head and said, "You are the stupid one."

Yue Niang let out a long sigh, realizing that her psychological endurance was still too poor.

Then he turned around to comfort Mother He: "Don't worry, Mother He, I'm fine. I'll go get a stool and help you tidy up your clothes."

A clear tear suddenly fell out. Yue Niang knew that it was the original owner's tear. It was as if something was peeling off this body and flowing out from the palms of her hands and feet.

Yue Niang unconsciously raised her hand and patted her arm: "Go with peace of mind."

The reason why Tian went to so much trouble to target Yue Niang was simply because of Yue Niang's good marriage.

This Xu was a close friend of the imperial concubine who had passed away many years ago in the palace. Based on their friendship, she became engaged to the fourteen-year-old Third Prince.

In the previous life, the original owner was abandoned by Huo Huo, and the marriage fell to Tian's eldest daughter Fu Yuanniang. If she could survive, she would rather give up the marriage.

Mother He looked at the stunned Yue Niang and wiped away a few more tears: "Miss, ah, it would be great if the old lady was still in Lingzhou. She is the master's biological mother, the master must give her some face."

Old lady?? !!

Oh, yes, Yue Niang does have a grandmother.

Old Madam Fu, whose husband was once a Minister of State, had three sons: the eldest son, Fu Shiqing, and the second son, Fu Shiguang, who helped the eldest son manage the family business. The youngest son, Fu Shichuan, was obsessed with medicine and ran away at an early age.

The Fu family has been able to operate in Kyoto for so many years thanks to the fact that Old Master Fu once served in the imperial court.

During the years when Xu was seriously ill, Tian was in charge of the family.

One day, it was said that a highly respected Taoist priest said that if both Xu and grandmother stayed in Lingzhou, it would be bad for their health and the old lady would also get sick.

He hurriedly sent the old lady to Yunzhou, thousands of miles away, to live out her retirement.

Yue Niang repeated, "Grandma!!"

Suddenly enlightened, he urged Mother He: "Mother He, I have an idea. Please put some powder on me and make my face whiter. I want to go to Yunzhou."

Dongzhu poked her head out from behind He's mother: "Miss, what about Dongzhu?"

Yue Niang looked at He Mama eagerly.

Mother He understood and looked the frail Yue Niang up and down. "Don't worry about Dongzhu, Miss. I will take good care of her. But how are you going to get there? Yunzhou isn't as close as Mudan Garden and Changle Pavilion."

"Don't worry, Mom. I will beg Dad to send me there."

Mother He became sad again: "If it weren't for the fact that Madam died young, you would be only nine years old, and you should be a naughty age."

She hadn't realized yet that Yue Niang was no longer her mistress.

When the sky brightened, her father Fu Shiqing brought a group of relatives and friends to pay their respects, crying loudly.

When those relatives and friends saw Yue Niang's pale face without a trace of blood, they couldn't help but tear up.

An aunt touched Yue Niang's head and said: "This child is so well behaved."

Yue Niang knelt straight down and said, "Father, I dreamed of Mother last night. She scolded me for being unfilial. My grandmother is alone in Yunzhou waiting for me, and I am not here to serve her."

Amid the stunned gazes of his relatives and friends, Fu Shiqing hurriedly helped his daughter up: "You are still young. Your father will take care of your grandmother."

"Father, please fulfill mother's wish." Yue Niang squeezed out a few tears, which made people feel distressed.

Tian, who had just stepped into the yard wearing a pair of purple embroidered shoes, was overjoyed to hear these words.

He rushed in, not caring about the occasion, and helped to persuade her: "Yes, Master, your wife was the most filial when she was alive. Now that Miss Yue'er has such a wish, it is understandable. I will definitely send someone to escort her properly."

These words had the style of the mistress of the house, and Fu Shiqing was shaken.

Mother He was eager to protect her master and stood up to refute Tian: "Auntie, no matter how close you are to someone, you might still be worried about them harboring evil intentions. Our eldest daughter is the future Third Prince's principal wife. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the consequences."

Tian glared at Mother He as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Yue Niang knew that what Tian hated most now was hearing about the relationship between Yue Niang and the Third Prince.

Pretending to be timid and weak, he said to Mother He, "Mother He, I am now weak. I just want to stay by Grandmother's side and fulfill Mother's wish. As for the matter of the Third Prince, it was just a joke from the mothers."

Tian found it very pleasant to hear. After all, she was still a child, so she was only slightly frightened and then behaved herself.

Fu Shiqing, who always valued external forces, was impressed: "Forget it, I just happen to have a batch of goods from Yunzhou. After your mother's funeral and burial, I will personally take you there."

He turned and bowed to the guests who were watching the show in a moody manner, "Please go to the front hall to have dinner first."

Yunzhou is located on the border of Dacheng and borders the foreign country Qiefeng. Although it appears peaceful on the surface, there are actually undercurrents.

Recently, His Majesty has sent General Jiang from the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion to escort Princess Minjia to marry.

Since her grandmother is now in old age, she will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing. Yue Niang has already started to imagine her future miserable life. Of course, this is a story for later.

Xu's coffin was sealed, and heavy snow fell outside, as if to bury all traces.

Yue Niang was walking in front of the team and heard someone in the crowd crying.

When I turned around, I could only see a purple cloud embroidered with clothes.

Yue Niang's tears were real, for the mother and daughter, and for herself.

She grew up in an orphanage, didn't know who her parents were, and was not adopted.

With the help of some kind-hearted people in society, I went to a third-rate undergraduate program and studied an unpopular major, thinking that at least I wouldn't starve to death.

I finally found a company, but was laid off at the age of 24 because childbirth and breastfeeding would take time. In the words of my boss, time is money.

Snowflakes fell on her palms, but they were much warmer than cold, and the white mist she exhaled dissipated between heaven and earth.

Yue Niang's luggage was not much, just a small bundle, which was packed by Tian Shi. She didn't even arrange for a maid or servant.

Tian simply said, "Your grandmother has everything, don't worry."

Mother He was at the back of the crowd, holding Dongzhu and looking at Yue Niang worriedly.

But Yue Niang was in a difficult situation now and could not protect them at all, so she could only look away silently.

Sitting on the not-so-luxurious carriage, the coachman was driving as fast as a dog. Fu Shiqing had a slouch on his face and didn't even look at Yue Niang.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so Yue Niang had to pretend to be asleep, except for the time she was eating and taking a nap.

This installation took more than half a month.

Finally we arrived at the territory of Yunzhou. Yunzhou and Qiefeng have always traded with each other. The ethnic minorities here have simple customs. The people of Qiefeng are tall and have full facial features, but there are also some who are similar to the Cheng people.

It was time to enter the city, but the carriage was moving a little slowly because Princess Mingjia's marriage party was being registered and counted one by one.

Yue Niang lifted a corner of the curtain, and in front of their carriage was a young man of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The boy's unruly appearance attracted Yue Niang.

That handsome face also dragged out a bunch of fragments of memories.
