Yan Cigui Chapter 42

 Outside, the palace maid made a sound.

Lin Yunyan stood up, tidied up her appearance and went to the main hall.

The Empress Dowager smiled and waved to her: "They said it was a severance of ties, but they looked at me a little bit."

"You're protecting me," Lin Yunyan said sweetly, "I can't wait for you to send someone to the house to reprimand me if I haven't been scolded enough in the morning, right?"

The Empress Dowager pulled her to sit next to her and patted her back gently: "Hun said! How could the Ai family reprimand this and that so casually?"

Lin Yunyan smiled.

"Since they have figured it out, it would be a good idea for Aijia to be a witness to avoid making irresponsible remarks in the future," the Queen Mother said, "then let her come into the palace."

"Mother," Lin Yunyan put away her smile and said sincerely, "you said before that whether my eldest sister's marriage is settled or continued, my grandmother has to step in. I can't do it for you. The more I think about it, the more this is true.

 Therefore, it is not up to me to talk to Mrs. Xu Guogong about breaking off the engagement, but to let my grandmother do it.

I want to go to Zhuangzi first to ask my grandmother to come down the mountain..."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was extremely pleased: "You are right, this is exactly what you said."

Outside the west palace gate, Mrs. Xu Guogong was sweating in the carriage waiting for a reply from the palace.

“The empress is willing to facilitate this matter. I will wait until the princess invites the old lady before inviting you to Cining Palace...”

 Mr. Xu Guogong thanked her.

 When the chamberlain left, she leaned on the pillow with a tired look on her face.

Mammy lifted up a corner of the curtain to let some air in. When she saw Lin Yunyan's car leaving the palace, she asked, "Madam, do you want to catch up?"

"How to pursue me?" Mrs. Xu Guogong said angrily, "The Empress Dowager said we should talk in Cining Palace, but I rashly chased her to Zhuangzi and went against her wishes. Will I be reprimanded again?"

 She did not see with her own eyes how the emperor punished Duke Xu in the Jinluan Palace today.

 But yesterday, the chamberlain from the royal study came to the house to "deliver a message", and she listened.

There was no fluctuation in the tone of voice and the words were completely straightforward, so I repeated the words of the Holy One. But each word hit my ears, but it was more powerful than any cadence, cutting straight into her flesh like a knife.

Even the back of my neck was cold and the hairs stood on end.

 The difference between the king and his ministers is the majesty of Heaven.

 The husband is right, if they persist, it won't just be a matter of scolding them next time.

 On the other side, Lin Yunyan arrived at Zhuangzi.

Before he reached the courtyard where Mr. Duan lived, he saw Lin Yunjing walking towards her with her skirt in hand.

In Lin Yunyan's memory, the eldest sister has always been a calm and quiet image, and has never looked so anxious.

Standing face to face, Lin Yunjing blinked her eyes and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

 Beyond her anxiety, she also had expectations, but beyond her expectations, she was also afraid that her eagerness would burden her sister.

Lin Yunyan looked at her and felt that the eldest sister was indescribably smart and interesting.

 Involuntarily, she held Lin Yunjing's arm with both hands and raised the corners of her lips: "Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled."

Lin Yunjing was surprised and happy.

 Behind her, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Chen also came over in a hurry.

 Looking at the expressions of the two sisters, the answer was already in front of them.

Mrs. Chen said "Oh," and held Mrs. Huang's hand: "Second sister-in-law can feel at ease now. We Yunjing don't have to marry that kind of bastard."

　　Huang nodded hurriedly.

Not to mention that Yun Jing originally did not want to marry into Duke Xu's mansion. Even if Yun Jing really lost her mind and was bewitched by Su Ke, she, as a mother, would have to fight hard to stop thinking about her daughter.

Yun Jing's life will be ruined if she gets married to that kind of person.

Yun Jing said that in her ears and in her mind, there was always a voice saying "cannot marry" and "Su Ke is not a good match"...

What is this if it's not a revelation from the Buddha's words?

Huang clasped his hands together and recited several Buddhist chants.

"What do they say about Duke Xu's mansion now?" Mrs. Chen calmed down and asked. "His family proposed to break off the relationship, and the Queen Mother wanted to be a witness, so I came to invite my grandmother." Lin Yunyan said.

Mrs. Chen nodded: "It would be great to have the empress as a witness."

A few people went to Xiao Duan's place together.

Lin Yunjing held Lin Yunyan's hand, whispered to her ear to ear, and told her what Zhuangzi had been doing in the past few days.

"My aunts are looking at me. The Duke and his wife have been here, but they haven't even come in."

 “Grandma doesn't know anything yet.”

Lin Yunyan wrote it down one by one.

When a group of people entered, Mrs. Duan was listening happily to Lin Yunfang's words with squinted eyes.

"As soon as the second sister arrived, we all went to greet her," Lin Yunfang chirped, "I was a step too slow and couldn't keep up! So, I came directly to your place and waited for you!"

 “You clever guy!” Ms. Chen spat, “Here, we brought the rabbit.”

Rabbi Lin Yunyan stepped forward and asked Xiao Duan: "How are you living? Isn't it cooler here than in the house?"

"Everything is fine," Xiao Duan said with a smile, "It's just that you girl hasn't shown up for a long time, which makes me feel uneasy."

Lin Yunyan smiled lightly, and then her smile gradually faded, and she looked at Xiao Duan seriously.

Little Duan was shocked when she saw her expression. Seeing that Huang and others also had serious expressions on their faces, she couldn't help but restrain her smile: "What's the matter?"

"That Su Ke behaved improperly and showed his ugly face, which caused a storm in the city," Lin Yunyan said, paying attention to Xiao Duan's expression to prevent her from being too emotional. "The marriage between the eldest sister and him can no longer be concluded. The Queen Mother witnessed us Break off the relationship with his family, and I will take you to the palace."

Little Duan was stunned.

She had listened to Lin Yunyan's words before and wanted to wait and see more about this marriage.

 Watching it until the end, there is a possibility that it will succeed, but there is also a possibility that it will not succeed, and she is somewhat prepared in her heart.

 I didn't expect that the results would come out so quickly.

"His house, he..." Xiao Duan took a deep breath, "What happened?"

 “Your Majesty, I'm waiting. I'm also afraid of long nights and many dreams, so we'll talk on the way.” Lin Yunyan said.

How could Xiao Duan keep the Empress Dowager waiting for a long time? After hearing this, she suppressed her doubts and called Aunt Ruan to go with her to the inner room to change clothes and comb her hair.

While Xiao Duan was preparing, Lin Yunyan briefly talked to Lin Yunjing and others about the actions of Duke Xu's mansion to press forward step by step.

"How shameless!" Chen said with a fire rising in her chest, "How can you embarrass Yun Yan when there is no elder in the house?"

Lin Yunyan didn't care: "If grandma were here, she would be the one who was in trouble."

 This is a true statement.

It doesn't matter if Chen smiles or doesn't smile.

"My aunt also has to make preparations," Lin Yunyan said hurriedly when she saw Xiao Duan coming out. "When we get the eldest sister's Geng Tie back, we will return all the wedding gifts from her family and make a clean break from now on."

 The crowd sent the two of them into the carriage.

On the way down the mountain, little Duan asked: "Has his family really become the chicken that kills chickens to scare monkeys?"

"Not yet," Lin Yunyan said without changing her expression when she misled her grandmother, "The scandal caused by Su Ke himself, if his family quickly behaves properly, it will really save the Lord the time of picking out chickens. Don't worry, I'll take my time. I'll tell you what's going on in his family.”

 Little Duan was not in a hurry.

 The wheel rolled across the mountain road, along the official road into the city, and rolled all the way outside the palace gate.

Little Duan laid two thick pillows on his bed, and the stars were still shining in front of his eyes.

Yun Yan is so dizzy driving this car!

 Her old woman is too old to ride in such a car.

As long as the car is bumpy enough, grandma can make a little progress every day~

The single item is even more unsatisfactory. Let's stick to it for a few more days and it will be on the shelves on May Day.

Thanks to book friend Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend for the reward.
