Feng Yu Heng did not know who the strange man that Xuan Feiyu was talking about was. There were many guests today, and it was inevitable that some people would leave the front yard and go to other places in the manor. This could be considered normal. But if that strange man appeared outside the bride's courtyard, it would be a little hard to explain.
At this time, the rain had already stopped. She handed the two children to Qin shi and repeatedly advised the two children not to run around. Only then did she stand up and leave with Wang Chuan and Huang Quan.
The current Yao manor and the former Feng manor were places that she could not be more familiar with. Yao Shu was currently living in the courtyard that Feng Zi Hao had lived in. Speaking of, it was a little far from the front yard.
The three walked in that direction, but the two maidservants did not know what their young miss was thinking.
At the same time, the strange man that Xuan Feiyu was talking about was indeed loitering outside the bridal courtyard of the newlyweds. He was dealing with the two maidservants that were guarding the gate. One of the maidservants said: "The guests that have come to observe should go to the front yard. Sir, please go back!"
It was very clear that this person had been pestering them for a long time. It was such that even the good-tempered servants of the Yao family became impatient. Most importantly, this matter could not be explained. A grown man had run into the new madam's courtyard and insisted on seeing the new madam. What sort of situation was this?
The man listened to the maidservant's advice, but he still refused to give up. He continued to beg: "Just let me see her. I really do have something to say to her."
"No good, no good." The two maidservants were very resolute. They even called for a number of people to completely block the entrance.
The noise outside the courtyard startled the newlyweds in the room. Lu Yao, who had been sitting on the bed, suddenly lifted the veil, her face filled with horror.
Inside the room were her two maidservants and wet nurse. At this time, seeing that their young miss had lost her composure, they quickly went forward to console her. The wet nurse pulled the veil and wanted to cover her back up. At the same time, she anxiously said: "Young miss! Today is the day of the wedding. This veil absolutely must not be lifted. We will need to wait until the husband returns to his room at night to lift it up for you! "
How could Lu Yao be willing to listen to this now. Her face turned pale with fear. Grabbing the wet nurse's hand, she asked with a trembling voice: "Did you hear that? Was he here? Huh? Is he here? "
Her voice was filled with extreme fear. After all, the wet nurse was old and her hearing wasn't that sensitive. For a moment, she didn't know what had happened and was at a loss.
At this moment, a young maidservant at the side said, "It seems that there is a voice outside, and … it's a man's voice."
With just one sentence, the wet nurse seemed to have thought of something terrible and almost jumped up in shock. Lu Yao anxiously said at this time: "It's him! It must be him! What I heard can't be wrong. Mammy, what should I do? What should I do? "
The wet nurse was also a bit flustered, but she was still a bit steadier than Lu Yao. While comforting Lu Yao, she said to the two servants: "Quickly go out and take a look. Who exactly is causing a ruckus."
The two maidservants ran out of the room. When they came back, their faces were filled with terror. One of them said, "Young Miss, Young Miss is right. It's really him. He's here!"
Lu Yao opened her mouth wide in shock, "How is that possible? Why would he come? Didn't father send him out of the province? Wasn't it said that he would never come back? Why did he suddenly appear here? "
The three servants did not know what they should do. The wet nurse thought for a while then gritted her teeth and said: "Since he's come, we need to think of a way to deal with him. How about … Young Miss go and see him?"
"I won't see him!" Lu Yao screamed: "Mammy, have you gone crazy? You actually want me to go and see him? "
The wet nurse quickly said: "Young Miss, listen to this servant. At a time like this, the smartest thing to do is to resolve this small matter. We are clear on his personality. Now that he's caused a ruckus outside for so long, it's clear that he doesn't plan on leaving until he sees Young Miss. But this place is the Yao family, not the Lu Family. If this continues and more people see him, something will happen! How about Young Miss meet him and say some half-hearted words to send him away first. This servant will think of a way to inform the Lu manor later and have master quickly send someone to resolve this matter. "
The servant also said: "That's right, Young Miss. Right now, the most important thing is for him to leave quickly. There are many people in the Yao manor today. If someone saw him, it would be bad."
Another servant also said: "That person has always been spouting nonsense. He dares to say anything. If Young Miss does not send him away quickly, I fear that this matter will become even bigger."
Lu Yao also understood this reasoning, but she was now a bride. Instead of sitting in the bridal chamber, she ran out to see a man. After all, there were servants of the Yao family in this courtyard!
The wet nurse understood her thoughts and quickly said: "Right now, there's nothing for us to fear. After all, his status is there for all to see. Even if someone asks, it's easy to say. Young Miss just needs to state this status. It's better than any other reason."
"Is that alright?" Lu Yao was still a little afraid, but now that things had come to a head, she could not afford to hesitate in the slightest. She gritted her teeth and stood up; however, a trace of viciousness flashed through her eyes. "Forget it, I will go and meet him. You guys follow from a distance. Either way, we need to take care of this matter."
On this side, Lu Yao was preparing to go out to meet him. On the other side, Feng Yu Heng's group of three were about to reach their destination.
Huang Quan quietly gossiped with Wang Chuan: "Take a guess. Who is that strange man?"
Although Wang Chuan was not as gossipy as Huang Quan, he was also very curious about this matter. After making a rough guess, he hesitantly said: "An old friend?"
Before Huang Quan could react, Feng Yu Heng laughed, "There are many old friends. It depends on how old they are. That Lu Family's young miss marrying into the Yao manor is something that I was not optimistic about, but since eldest brother likes it, there's nothing that I can do. After all, this is the Yao family, not the Feng family. There are some things that I can't manage even if I wanted to. But it would be best if Lu Yao was a little more obedient. Don't cause any trouble in the Yao family. Otherwise, I will not forgive her. "
The two servants knew that their young miss was angry. After all, the harmonious atmosphere in the Yao manor was something that anyone that came to visit could feel. Upon thinking about how such a good family would be disrupted by Lu Yao, no one would feel good about it.
"We're here." Feng Yu Heng suddenly stopped in her tracks. Bringing the two behind her, she dodged to the side and happened to hide behind a boulder. "Look." She reached out and pointed. The two looked over and saw that in the small garden, Lu Yao, who was wearing a red wedding dress, was standing behind a tree with a young man about 20 paces away from them. It seemed that they were talking about something. "Let's go forward a bit. Be careful."
Feng Yu Heng led the way and took a few more steps forward. Only after ensuring that they were within range that they could clearly see and hear did they stop.
Just as the three were in position, they heard Lu Yao's voice come over. She seemed to be a bit anxious as she said: "Didn't father send you out of the province? When did you come back? "
The man did not say anything and grabbed Lu Yao's hand, scaring Lu Yao into wanting to pull her hand away; however, she was unable to do so. The man's voice was a bit emotional, as he repeatedly said: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Yao 'er. I shouldn't have gone out of the province, but I never thought that the family would marry you off while I was out of the province. Yao 'er, I'm sorry. I should have rushed back a bit earlier. "
Lu Yao angrily stomped her foot; however, she knew that she could not agitate him at a time like this, thus she quickly said: "What are you saying about being sorry or not. There's no need to say such things between us. There are many people in the Yao manor today. It's truly inconvenient for you to come to the inner courtyard. Quickly go back and wait for me at home. Wait for me to return in three days. Only then will it be easier for us to speak in the Lu manor. "
"But …"
"There's nothing but." Lu Yao cut him off, "Just do as I say. Wait for me at home. We have not seen each other for many months. We should speak properly."
"Yao 'er." The man was very unwilling, "I only left for a few months. How did you become someone else's wife? Father clearly did not say this to me! If I knew that it would be like this, even if you beat me to death, I would not have left the capital. Yao 'er, this is not something that you wanted, right? "
Lu Yao nodded, "Right, everything you said is correct, but with things as they are, there's no point in us saying anything. You know that although I am the daughter of the first wife, I am not mother's biological daughter. That's why I do not have much standing in the manor. Their thoughts are all on third sister. That's why this marriage is not up to me to decide. You need to be considerate. If something were to happen at the wedding today, father … father will beat me to death. "
The man was stunned. Who knew if he had been frightened by Lu Yao's words or something else, but he did not speak for a long time.
After a long while, just as everyone thought that the man would not say anything else and leave, the man suddenly hugged Lu Yao tightly. His head was buried deep in her hair. It was as though he was hugging a treasure.
Feng Yu Heng saw this and furrowed her brow tightly. She then heard Huang Quan say: "Sure enough, this Lu Yao is not a good thing. She actually has a wild man outside, and that wild man actually came to find her. Isn't she looking down on the Yao family too much? What sort of upbringing does the Lu Family have? How did they manage to raise such a shameless daughter? "
Wang Chuan angrily said: "Her marrying into the Yao manor is truly a disgrace to the Yao manor, but …" As Wang Chuan spoke, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng suddenly spoke up; however, she said: "Don't you guys feel that Lu Yao and that man look a bit alike?"
Huang Quan was puzzled, "One is a man and one is a woman. How could they possibly look alike?"
Wang Chuan shook his head, "They do look alike. Their eyebrows and facial features are alike."
"Hm?" Huang Quan listened and looked carefully; however, he could not see anything.
As for Wang Chuan, he had a new train of thought: "I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo has an eldest son. He was born of the same mother as Lu Yao. Over the past two years, he has been sent out of the province by lord Lu to do business. Could it be … that it's him?"
"Brother and sister?" Huang Quan was extremely shocked, but when he carefully thought about the conversation that had just occurred and connected the dots, it immediately became less ambiguous. She analyzed on her own: "Brother has been out of the province the entire time and actually did not know that his younger sister was getting married today. Their mother passed away early, so it's natural that they would be close. Knowing that his younger sister was getting married, it's natural that he would feel sad. Wanting to come and talk, this is … understandable. "
With this analysis, there really was nothing wrong with it.
At this time, Lu Yao also said: "Eldest brother, our mother passed away early. You are the only relative that dotes on Yao 'er. Eldest brother, wait a few more days. When Yao' er returns in three days, we will be able to properly talk."
Huang Quan sighed, "They're also a pitiful pair of siblings."
Watching this play, it seemed that there was nothing more to see. On the other side, Lu Yao and the man were saying goodbye. The man had already stomped his foot and turned to leave. Lu Yao also quickly returned to her courtyard.
But Feng Yu Heng said at this time: "Why do I feel that there's something off between the brother and sister?"
