Chu Yunmu's face turned cold, "What new wife? She's the wife of an old man. Oh right, little sister, you still don't know, right? I heard that this time, only his son came and stayed in the House of Zuo. I think his name is Chu Xiuchen and he was even bestowed the title of King in the Cherokee. "
Because of the fact that Chu Yiqun had not come to the Auntie Sun ever since he returned to the capital, he was already dissatisfied. Zhou Niang had a short life, he had nothing to say if he died in the extreme north. Then what about the Auntie Sun? Although he had the care of his sister and brother-in-law in the Jingli for the past few years, but she was a girl who had buried her identity and given birth to a child for him. Could it be that it was because of Beigong Ziyuan that he said he didn't want her anymore?
Back then, her mother had done too many wrong things, and he had gotten rid of her. She deserved it. When he returned, he didn't go to see her in front of the grave, which was also understandable. After all, the two of them weren't husband and wife anymore. What about Yu'er? Yu'er died in such a miserable way. As her father, he had already returned to his original position, but he wasn't even willing to burn a piece of paper for her.
This father … It was only this much.
Chu Qingyao laughed lightly, "If he had obediently been his Left Premier, he would have reached the great perfection stage in his life. Not only are his children perfect, but he would also have a noble status and treat his wife sincerely."
Seeing that Chu Yunmu's expression was not good, she asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing much, I just felt that he was too cold-blooded. He surrounded Beigong Ziyuan every day as if he had already forgotten about the Auntie Sun. When he was at the far north, he would mutter about the Auntie Sun every few days. I hope that I can give him a son so that he can continue his family line. "
"If it wasn't for Beigong Ziyuan, how could his position have been restored? Big brother would be too angry." Perhaps it was because she didn't have any feelings, so Chu Qingyao opened her mouth wide.
The two of them went to the living room and sat in the carriage with the Auntie Sun mother and son.
The carriage of the palace was very spacious, so there were three adults and a child. It was not crowded at all. Auntie Sun was pleasantly surprised and nervous. "Royal Concubine, actually, I had long heard that the Old Master had returned to the capital and had even become the Minister of the Left. "But I don't dare to go and see him. I'm afraid that the news is fake and it might cause harm to the spruce tree. He is the master's only flesh and blood."
After saying that, she felt that it was not good to say this in front of Chu Yunmu and Yue Yang, so she shut her mouth and did not speak anymore. However, the joy hidden in the corner of her eyes was easily caught by others.
Because it was related to Zi Er Chang Princess's reputation, her relationship with Chu Yiqun had yet to reach outside the palace. Therefore, outside the palace, it was just a rumor that the phase of Chu was restored to his previous position, but he did not mention anything about it.
Auntie Sun glanced at Chu Qingyao. She had thought that her master would be unhappy when he returned to the capital, but her expression was indifferent, making it hard to tell. No matter what, the thought of being reunited with her father made her tremble with excitement. She was the one who gave birth to the old master's son. This was a great contribution!
"How could such a big thing be a fake? Aunt, don't worry, the Minister of the Left's official title is real." Seeing Auntie Sun's happy expression, Chu Qingyao did not have the heart to tell her the truth.
An hour later, the carriage stopped at the Zuo Xiang Fu. Before he got off the carriage, Chu Yunmu had already taken off his mask, revealing his face.
He was the same as Chu Qingyao, both of them looking up at the signboard above their heads. The three golden words "Zuo Xiang Fu" shone under the sunlight, and he immediately thought of the dead Fan Qingju. He retracted his gaze and saw Auntie Sun's excited face, but Chu Qingyao had a calm expression.
The seven arts in the darkness immediately opened their eyes wide, isn't that Chu Yunmu? No wonder Mu Yun and the wangfei were so familiar with each other, it was actually him. Looks like the prince has been kept in the dark as well.
The gatekeeper reported Prince Zhi's Concubine's name to the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper said that the Lord Left Prime Minister had already explained it to him, and the Prince Zhi's Concubine came and invited him in. Logically, with Chu Qingyao's status as an imperial concubine, Chu Yiqun should have come out to respectfully welcome her, even as the Left Premier. If he didn't come out, it would be disrespectful to the royal family.
Chu Yunmu frowned, Chu Qingyao's expression was the same as before, she said to Auntie Sun, "Let's go!"
Other than the spruce tree, which had only been born a few years ago, the other three people were extremely familiar with the Residence of Zuo. Even without anyone's guidance, they could easily find Chu Yiqun's courtyard.
Upon stepping into this residence, the three of them didn't feel any coldness at all. The servants that could be seen walking back and forth were men and women. They were talking and laughing, and it was very lively. Even back then, when the phase of Chu was not demoted to the extreme north, it was only this much.
Entering the courtyard, they saw Chu Yiqun standing at the entrance of the courtyard. Beside him stood a girl dressed in expensive yellow, with a complex bun in her hair, and a faint smile hanging at the corner of her mouth. Her gaze landed on Chu Qingyao's face with a hint of coldness, but she quickly put on a gentle and appropriate smile.
Chu Yiqun's gaze tensed up, why would Yun Mu return with Chu Qingyao? And the girl they brought, why did she look so familiar? Then, his body stiffened as he recognized the Auntie Sun. He hatefully glared at Chu Qingyao. If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have been exiled to the extreme north. Now, he and Beigong Ziyuan had just reunited after a long period of separation, and despite their deep love for each other, she sent the Auntie Sun back to added to the chaos.
If she knew earlier, she would have strangled her when she was young. She even asked her to marry some roasting king!
He had already forgotten how much he missed Auntie Sun in the far north and how worried he was that her child would not be born. How could she, a lonely woman, drag a child around? Now that he had Beigong Ziyuan and she had given birth to a pair of children for him, he had long thrown Auntie Sun and her children out of the window.
Auntie Sun looked at him joyfully. Seeing that the old master didn't seem to be too happy, he nervously hugged the small spruce. The spruce was in pain and mewling softly, "Mother, it hurts."
The Auntie Sun was shocked, the strength in his hands decreased, but he did not dare look at Chu Yiqun again.
Chu Qingyao sized up the lady beside Chu Yiqun, she guessed that it was without a doubt Beigong Ziyuan. When his gaze landed on Chu Yiqun's face, Chu Yiqun could only bow and pay his respects, "This subject greets Prince Zhi's Concubine."
"Father is too courteous. Your daughter should have come to the capital on her own accord this time. However, this wangfei didn't come to the capital recently. I hope father can forgive me." Chu Qingyao's tone did not change.
Chu Yiqun naturally knew that she had been away from the capital for a long time. He also knew that her luck was good enough to cause jealousy. After missing for three years, she was still able to steadily sit in the position of Chief Consort when she returned.
"Yun Mu, why did you come together with us?" Chu Yiqun's words made Chu Yunmu feel very uncomfortable. He said that they should come together, and not return. It was clear that this foster father no longer saw him as a family. That's right! Now that he had a wife and son, how could he care about this child who was raising him?
"It's me …" Chu Qingyao and Chu Yunmu spoke at almost the same time, but Chu Yunmu stopped her, "Little sister, should I be the elder brother or should I be the first one to say this?"
This was the first time Chu Yunmu used his elder brother's body to speak to her, so Chu Qingyao could only shut her mouth. He continued, "Last time, I wrote to tell father that Auntie Sun gave you a spruce and raised it well under the care of his sister and the Prince. Now that father has returned, there is no longer any reason for mother and son to be left behind. "
Chu Yiqun looked at Beigong Ziyuan guiltily, changing the topic, he introduced the two of them, "Let me introduce the two of you, this is the Grand Princess of the Cherokee."
Chu Qingyao's clear eyes held a hint of playfulness. As she spoke, she was led into the yard. Chu Yiqun was one step behind, he glared at Auntie Sun and asked unhappily: Why are you following me?
Auntie Sun's body froze. Now that the old master had returned to his original position, where else could she go? It was as if something was pouring down from above her head with a hood covering her face, freezing her heart that was filled with anticipation. Old master, do you not wish to acknowledge us?
Her eyes felt sore, and she followed him in uneasily.
Because of her young age, Chu Yunshan looked at phase of Chu with curiosity. Seeing his cold expression, she stared at him for a moment and then stopped looking at him. Her small hands tightly grabbed onto Auntie Sun's clothes, "Mother, didn't you say you would bring me to find Father? "But why did he ignore Shan`er?"
Auntie Sun was so scared that she quickly covered her child's mouth, "Yunshan, stop spouting nonsense." phase of Chu snorted, but did not say anything.
Chu Yunmu worriedly looked at Auntie Sun and felt that he had overdone it. No matter what, spruce was still his flesh and blood. How could he be so cold when they first met? Was it to curry favor with Beigong Ziyuan?
After entering the guest hall, Beigong Ziyuan naturally sat in the hostess's seat and smiled faintly, "You are all children of the same group. In the future, when I live with him, I will naturally love you all as if you are all his children."
Auntie Sun's face was filled with pain. From the moment she saw this woman standing together with Master, she had already guessed it right? But since when did the old master seduce the foreign Grand Princess? As matters stood, she didn't dare ask for anything, and only asked the old master to give them a place to stay. Even if Yunshan was only a bastard, the concubine of the House of Ye was still a hundred times better than an ordinary person.
The corners of Chu Qingyao's mouth raised, indicating that she didn't want to speak. She had always thought that the best way for her to get along with Chu Yiqun was to stay close to him, but what did Beigong Ziyuan mean by that?
Chu Yunmu's eyes flashed, "With the Grand Princess's words, Yun Mu is relieved." "This is father carrying her into a concubine's room in the mansion before he left for the far north. When father left, she was already pregnant and was born alone with spruce trees in the past few years. She has suffered quite a bit, so I hope that the Grand Princess will treat them well."
The Grand Princess's smile froze for a moment before returning to her usual self. She personally walked down from her seat and extended her arms to hug the spruce. "Spruce, come here. Mother will give you a hug."
"Mom, Mom!" Chu Yunshan cried out in fear when she suddenly saw that a stranger was about to hug her.
phase of Chu glared at Auntie Sun with resentment, "Auntie Sun, is this how you teach Spruce how you teach it? You are only a concubine, what right do you have for him to call you mother? "
Auntie Sun saw that he had lost his temper and quickly kneeled down, "Master, please calm your anger. This concubine did not do it on purpose. It was really … This humble concubine will immediately get him to change it. " When Auntie Sun gave birth to the spruce, the Chu Family had already dispersed. She was a woman with a child. How could she make a child call her aunt?
Chu Qingyao could not bear to see this any longer, so she continued, "How is it that this wangfei doesn't know when father married again?"
A trace of annoyance flashed across Beigong Ziyuan's eyes, and he heard someone say rudely, "Who's the one that doesn't have eyes? This King's mother and father are a pair. "Let me tell you, compared to my mother, both of your mothers are concubines." As soon as he said that, a man dressed in embroidered clothes and a jade belt walked in from outside. Just from his appearance, one could infer that he was definitely Beigong Ziyuan's son.
Because of the fact that Chu Yiqun had not come to the Auntie Sun ever since he returned to the capital, he was already dissatisfied. Zhou Niang had a short life, he had nothing to say if he died in the extreme north. Then what about the Auntie Sun? Although he had the care of his sister and brother-in-law in the Jingli for the past few years, but she was a girl who had buried her identity and given birth to a child for him. Could it be that it was because of Beigong Ziyuan that he said he didn't want her anymore?
