Ever since the Yao family returned to the capital and moved here, they did not renovate the manor. Whether it was the main entrance or the inside of the manor, it was basically the same as when the Feng family lived here.
Currently, the main entrance was tightly shut. The Yao family did not have the habit of leaving the main entrance open. That woman stood at the entrance and silently watched. Her eyes carried memories, but her emotions changed many times. There was nostalgia, yearning, sorrow, but most of it was hatred.
The maidservant beside her did not understand and looked at her madam in confusion. She quietly asked: "It's only a manor. What is madam looking at? This servant heard that this Yao manor is Royal Consort Yu's maternal grandfather's home. The people living here are her maternal grandfather and uncles. We shouldn't stay here too long. "After she finished speaking, she gently pulled on the woman's sleeve, wanting to remind her to quickly leave.
But that woman did not move at all. She even somewhat impatiently broke free from the maidservant's hand. Her eyes were still staring at the main entrance as she muttered: "Maternal grandfather's home!" The hatred in her eyes faded and the nostalgia became even stronger.
She unconsciously walked forward a few steps. It looked like she wanted to touch that door, but this scared the maidservant beside her. She quickly pulled her back and quietly said: "Madam, what's wrong? What do you want to do? "
The woman was stunned and realized she had forgotten herself. Her steps stopped and she waved her hand and said: "Nothing. I just heard that this place is related to Royal Consort Yu and wanted to investigate."
"This is not something madam should investigate." The maidservant reminded her and said: "Before leaving, the general told me that madam can go shopping and buy whatever you like, but you can't do anything too conspicuous. Just like right now. You clearly know that this is the Yao manor. Madam should not have come to such a sensitive place. "
"Are you my personal maidservant or did the general send you to watch over me?" The woman coldly swept her eyes over the person beside her. Her gaze was unkind, "I am the general's wife. Why do I need to look at a maidservant's face when I go out?"
"This servant did not mean that." The maidservant quickly lowered her head, "This servant knows her wrongs."
"It's good that you know your wrongs." The woman didn't say anything else and shifted her gaze back to the main door of the Yao Residence. Unfortunately, the main door was tightly shut. She wanted to look inside but didn't have the chance.
After standing like this for a long time, almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the woman finally spoke again. She seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be talking to someone else. However, no one could understand who she was talking to. But he heard her say, "You've fulfilled your promise to me. I'm very grateful. Killing the Shen Clan, killing Feng Chen Yu and Feng Zi Hao, and being able to drag down the court's left prime minister from his high position, this is something that I never expected. You are very capable. This mansion used to house a group of people that I hated the most. Now that they're all dead and those who are still alive have dispersed, I'm truly delighted. The process must have been very difficult, right? Unfortunately, I've only heard rumors and inquired about it. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. What a pity. "
As she spoke, she walked up and down the street in front of the mansion's entrance. The maidservant didn't dare follow and just stood in place and watched in a daze. The woman walked very absent-mindedly. From time to time, she would stop and use her feet to rub the ground a few times. Then, her face would sometimes reveal a smile and sometimes it would reveal a look of hatred. When she finally stopped, she began to talk to herself about strange things: "This brick is missing a corner. Over the years, no one has changed it. It seems that the people living here are either nostalgic or too lazy. Zirui tripped over a brick when he was young. Feng Jin Yuan originally wanted to fix it, but what did the matriarch say at that time? She said that it's just a brick outside the door. It's not like it's inside the mansion. What's the point of fixing it? In the future, just pay more attention and don't run outside. "
"Zirui … … I heard that child is studying at Xiao Zhou's Yun Lu Academy and is even head teacher Ye's personal disciple. That's good. He's grown up to have a promising future." A smile appeared on her face. Even though she did not look good, but when this smile appeared, it still caused people to look at her. Even the maidservant who was watching from afar felt that her Madam also had times when she was charming.
"Last night, the Sixth Princess died." Hatred appeared on the woman's face again, "It's good that she died. She died in that person's hands again. There's no need for the General to do anything. It's really satisfying. Li Yue, ever since you captured Xiangrong, I wanted to strangle you to death. Unfortunately, I can't. Because I still need to rely on Zong Sui to survive. Because my identity has been tied to Zong Sui since many years ago. I can't kill you personally and also don't want to see my husband kill you. That would be disadvantageous to us. But the evil you brought upon yourself is the hardest to bear. That person's heart is ruthless, but she is still good to her younger sister, Xiangrong. You actually dared to capture the person she cares about. If this isn't seeking death, what is it? "
When she said this, her fists were clenched tightly together, "Feng family really doesn't know how to raise children. What kind of person did they raise Feng Fendai? When I just left, that child had just reached seven years old and her domineering personality was already showing. So many years have passed, and she is still acting out. "
After saying this, she turned back to face the main door. Her gaze was cold and her voice was low, "Feng family, such a distant memory. Feng Jinyuan ah, Feng Jinyuan, do you know that your official career was actually not so short. If you did not send us three mother and daughters away, if you did not kill us in that Xi Ping village and make us unable to continue living, I would not have lost that life, and she would not have replaced me to return to this large house. Good and evil will be repaid, you didn't expect this right? I thought that death was death, but I did not expect that I would have a chance to start over again. But I am still too weak in the end. Even if I started over again, I am still unable to immediately take revenge for my previous life. Luckily, I have her … … she is very good. Because if it was me, I would not be able to do it as well as she did. It's just that … … "A wave of pain surged from her heart, causing her to have no choice but to suppress the fluctuating emotions in her heart. "It's just that she did not even let my mother off. This vengeance, I have to take revenge!"
As she said this, suddenly, the main door of the Yao manor was pulled open from the inside. A madam walked out accompanied by a maidservant. Behind her, the gatekeeper said: "Head madam, is there really no need to prepare a carriage? Today's sun is quite strong. If you really do not want to sit in a carriage, how about having a maidservant hold an oil paper umbrella. "
The person who came out was the head madam, Xu shi. The gatekeeper's words caused her to laugh. Turning around, she said: "It's just the sun. It's not raining. Holding an umbrella would be a joke!"
The gatekeeper also had something to say: "Many of the nobles in the capital are like this."
"I am not that delicate." Xu shi said: "When I was in Huang Zhou, the sun at noon was much brighter than in the capital. I did not see any harm from the sun. I would not be so delicate after returning to the capital. I just want to walk around today. You all do not need to worry. " After saying this, she turned around and walked out of the manor. Just as she walked down the steps, she saw a girl standing in the alley looking at her in a daze.
She appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old and was dressed like a madam. Her appearance was not outstanding, but she could see a trace of intimacy in her gaze. That gaze seemed to carry endless hope. Her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to talk to her, but after moving a few times, she was unable to say anything.
Xu shi's heart trembled slightly. When she faced this girl, she also felt a trace of warmth. It was as if she was a very familiar person that she had not seen for many years. It made her have the urge to go forward and get closer. But no matter how she tried to recall, she could not remember where she had seen this person. She was clearly a stranger, but why did she have such a familiar feeling?
The girl and Xu shi looked at each other for a while. Suddenly, she came back to her senses and immediately realized that she had forgotten herself. She hurriedly bowed to Xu shi, then turned around and hurriedly left. But she heard Xu shi call out from behind: "Wait a moment." She turned her head and saw Xu shi step forward. She bent down in front of her and reached out to lift the corner of her skirt. Then, she straightened up and kindly said to her: "The corner of your skirt is folded up. I will help you pull it down. Otherwise, people will laugh at you."
The girl was startled. She lowered her head to look at the skirt that had already been fixed. Her nose suddenly became sour. She covered her mouth and bowed to Xu shi. Then, she did not stay any longer. She dragged her maidservant and left as if she was escaping.
Xu shi looked at her back and suddenly felt pity. She felt that this girl must have many stories and must be a person with a hard life. She thought that it was because of this that she felt pity for her, right? She asked her maidservant: "Do you know who that girl was?"
The maidservant shook her head, "This servant has never seen her before. She looked to be wearing normal clothes. She shouldn't be from a large family. There is an eighty percent chance that she was passing by and wanted to take a look at the Yao manor to broaden her horizons. "There would often be people passing by the Yao manor who would stop and sigh. The Yao family was already used to it.
Xu shi did not ask any more questions and took her maidservant to go shopping. The girl who had "escaped" stopped at a corner and quietly watched Xu shi's back. Only when she could no longer see her did she withdraw her gaze. Then, she lightly said to the maidservant beside her: "Let's go. We're going back."
The maidservant did not dare to ask any more questions. Even if she had too many doubts in her heart, she still resisted and did not ask. But she also planned in her heart that when she returned, she would definitely find a chance to tell the General. Madam's trip out this time was really too strange. It was as if she was very familiar with the Yao manor. Even though she did not hear everything clearly, but there were still two or three sentences that entered her ears. This made her feel a little uneasy, afraid that her Madam was a spy from Dashun's side.
But thinking about it again, it was not very possible. Even though she was originally someone by the General's side, she also knew that this Madam was the first daughter of the Zong Sui General's family. It was also because of this that the General would marry such a normal looking Madam and swear to never take in a concubine.
Thinking like this, she felt a little wronged. She was originally a member of the General's family. Even though her status was low, she had thought before that she could at least be a concubine. Even if it was a maidservant, it would be good. But she did not expect that the old General of Zong Sui would be so overbearing. Once the General took in a concubine, he would take back all the military power in the General's hands. The General was restricted by that old General. She could only follow by this ugly looking Madam's side and only be a personal maidservant.
How could the old General's daughter be a spy? It was a little too ridiculous.
In the imperial palace, Emperor Tianwu sat in the square in front of Zhao He Hall. Who knew where he got a small dog and was currently playing with it.
Not long later, Zhang Yuan hurriedly walked back from the direction of the front court and bowed slightly in front of him, "Your Majesty, news came from the morning court today. Just last night, the Eighth Prince he … … passed away."
