Chapter 163 My Aunt's Mansion: Working People 5
Chapter 163 My Aunt's Mansion: Working People 5
Winter is not yet over.
The Yao family grew from five to six members.
If you include the little embryo in Tan Liu's belly, then there are seven people.
Yao Ruoping was forbidden from talking about her aunt to outsiders, and her longevity lock was also put away by the adults in her family.
The little girl, looking aggrieved, went outside and hugged a big tree.
Hehe, it seems Rongrong is just an average person who got a little enthusiastic on her own.
To avoid making people freeze.
Alas, Yao Ruoping felt that he had wasted his time cultivating the Longevity Technique.
The little donkey, always following along, squeezed to the edge of the tree and rubbed its head against the banyan tree, trying to get a bite of the mutated tree's leaves.
Thinking of the delicious food, even a donkey's mouth drooled.
Tan Liu glanced at her daughter in the yard from time to time, talking to her mother-in-law about the silver jewelry her sister-in-law had given her.
That hairpin, that ring...
She couldn't explain it, but she felt too afraid to wear it, fearing that outsiders would think she had stolen it.
Yang Yuhua understood.
The two of them were busy with their hands, making underwear, shoes and socks when they missed each other.
With some modifications, it can still be used by people.
The Yao family father and son were busy making dried tofu, which Zhe Dong could take back to the mansion as a snack later.
And this donkey.
Next year, we'll install a carriage in the back so we can pick up and drop off our daughter.
It's a pity we can't have a wedding banquet to celebrate.
Thankfully, the child is alive and well, and I remember they were found.
While working, someone in the Yao family started crying again.
And those tears just wouldn't stop flowing...
Yao Ruoping had no choice but to perform a five-second tree-climbing act in front of everyone, even clinging to a branch to wait for her family to notice and pull her up.
...
years later.
The fourth prince invited his brothers to a banquet at his residence, hoping to demonstrate brotherly affection and respect in front of the emperor.
When Consort Wu's stepmother received the news, she brought Wu Rouchun to the mansion ahead of time, saying that she wanted her elder sister to keep her company.
That's right, the ill intentions in the eyes of one's stepmother can't be hidden.
Little did she know, a big surprise awaited her at home.
It turned out that after Wu Yisu learned of the mother and daughter's thoughts, she sent the beautiful country girl she had already found to the Wu family, and then used the old lady's connections to find someone to help her get away with it.
Besides loving his wife, Mr. Wu also loved the pleasures of nature.
Wu Yisu's aunt came from such a background.
In fact, Wu Yisu's stepmother had the same idea, which is why Master Wu insisted on marrying no one but her. However, since the stepmother came from a good family, no one in the Wu family objected.
But she never expected that the man would be so fickle.
Vows of eternal love seem like a dream.
Anyway, Wu Yisu wasn't even a few months younger than her elder sister.
Wu Yisu coldly watched her stepmother and elder sister search for connections and influence within the mansion, hoping to use the opportunity to retaliate against a group of people.
What happened afterward was as if divinely inspired.
The eldest sister of the Wu family was found in disarray at the Fourth Prince's residence, "playing" with her brother-in-law in the flower room.
The Eighth Prince's men overheard this and reported it to their master.
So the Eighth Prince led his brothers to search for the person, saying that they needed to find the Fourth Brother and couldn't let him avoid drinking.
This saves Wu Yisu the trouble of sending someone to uncover the truth...
As for how the Eighth Prince's servants "just happened" to overhear?
It turns out that Xiao Yi, who went back to Beijing to spend the New Year with Yao Ruoping, hasn't left yet.
So I went and helped Zhe Dong.
*
Zhe Dong successfully relieved his master's worries, and Wu Rouchun entered the house in a small sedan chair.
Who would have thought that these two happened to be there when the emperor and his beloved crown prince were having a falling out?
This is also a good time for Zhe Dong to choose through dreams.
If we delay any longer, what if the emperor is in a good mood and they succeed?
With the unfortunate Consort De taking the fall, and Wu Yisu going to the palace to plead guilty, the Emperor seemed to remember something.
Wu Yisu then became the princess consort.
After leaving the palace, Wu Yisu sat upright in the carriage, stroking her slightly protruding belly, her expression kind and gentle.
The atmosphere at the Wu family's home was somber.
Grandma Wu chose to move into the small Buddhist shrine, since there was a kitchen in the courtyard anyway.
With so many princes in the imperial family, choosing any one of them would be better than having an affair with your brother-in-law.
This has now become common knowledge...
It's obvious he's not going to get away with this...
Grandma Wu did not suspect that Wu Yisu was behind it.
In her view, Wu Yisu's methods hadn't yet grown to this level so quickly.
Fortunately, a distant relative of hers found a suitable woman. She looked like a woman who would be fertile, and if she could give her a grandson, she could finally rest easy.
As for what her wild and unconventional daughter-in-law might think...
Think whatever you want.
Anyway, the Wu family's reputation has already been ruined by them.
Their relatives were so angry they wanted to devour their family; if Wu Yisu hadn't calmed things down, things might have been very different.
Completely unaware that the matter had implicated Consort De, causing her to be implicated and reprimanded by the Emperor.
Wu Yisu guessed it, but she didn't say anything.
Pretending to be stupid is fine; being a gentle, obedient wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter will bring you more benefits.
...
The Yao family changed into their spring clothes, and Tan Liu's pregnancy symptoms finally arrived.
On this day, Zhe Dong met with his family at a small house.
Only Yang Yuhua and Yao Ruoping came.
Hearing that his sister-in-law was pregnant, Zhe Dong remembered the silly little nephew from his dream.
It turns out we arrived so many years early.
I wonder if the person born will be this nephew.
With dreams as a starting point, Wu Yisu did not doubt the frequency with which Zhe Dong left the mansion, and even told her not to skimp on the money for news.
Overall, everyone is doing quite well.
Even the Yao family's little donkey can pull a horse-drawn carriage now.
It's like taking a super-powerful drug.
Yao Mengji was particularly envious; this donkey seemed to have inexhaustible energy...
Yang Yuhua couldn't get enough of looking at Zhe Dong; her eyes seemed to want to follow him back to the mansion.
Yao Ruoping couldn't stop talking and even started teasing his elders.
"Grandma, how about we kidnap Auntie and take her home..."
"You brat...who did you learn this from?"
"I don't know him... I heard it from someone while I was sitting on a tree branch."
Zhe Dong became nervous upon hearing this. Could there be another kidnapper in the alley?
Yang Yuhua patted her granddaughter's little mouth.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. Two storytellers and a storyteller have moved into the alley to share the apartment..."
Yang Yuhua perked up when this was mentioned.
"I heard they moved here temporarily to escape people who wanted to read their books. We really don't understand these scholars' affairs..."
Yao Ruoping said she knew that.
His small eyes darted left and right, he covered his mouth, and whispered in his aunt's ear.
"Auntie, I know. They write about the imperial family... about the imperial brother-in-law and stuff... I can't really explain it..."
Zhe Dong's face remained unchanged, and no one could tell that she was secretly laughing inside.
It seems the Fourth Prince and Concubine Wu are now quite famous...
Yang Yuhua was speechless. What was her precious grandson learning every day in the tree branches?
You said you wouldn't let her go up.
Her puppy-dog eyes can make your heart ache.
Why are other people's kids so good at learning to speak, and so good at grasping the key points...?
Now, he's the person in the Yao family who knows the most gossip.
Right? Does this brat even know what he's saying?
Tongzi: There's really nothing to worry about with this old cucumber being painted green~
