C32 Second aunt's resentment

According to the rules, as an aunt, Auntie Xiao should be addressed as "First Miss Linyue", but she didn't. From the beginning to the end, she had considered herself as an elder, and this was one of her methods. She used this method to tell everyone in the mansion that even the Eldest Miss would obediently follow her orders, using this to establish the authority of the manor. In his previous life, Lian Ruyue did not feel that anything was amiss, to the point of being intimate with her.

After hugging for a while, Aunt Xiao gently pushed Lian Rue away and carefully sized her up.

"Aunt ?" Lian Yueyue's inner thoughts disappeared as if they were all deep emotions. Standing in front of the first wife, she was refreshed and relaxed. She was not as refined as Lian Shiya, but she was gentle and quiet, with delicate features like a quiet lotus.

She did not seem sick or weak like she had imagined. She could clearly feel the astonishment and disappointment in Lady Xiao's eyes, but she did not show it and said happily, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. I think about you everyday, but when you heard you were back, all the aunts came to see you."

Lian Yueyue looked at the people sitting in the hall ?

The one dressed in the dark green embroidery gold concoction, the white silk blouse, and the purple mandarin skirt was Second Branch Madam Hu. Her head was decorated with gold, but she wasn't vulgar. However, her expression was arrogant and icy cold.

Mrs Liu, from the third branch, wore an almond red silk brocade dress with a horse-face skirt. Her apricot-red dress covered her knees with exquisite golden patterns. She had a flat phoenix hairpin stuck into her hair. Her charming eyes were filled with contempt.

Lady Yan, who was dressed in the red embroidered plum blossom robe, moon-colored gauze dress, and a pole-colored ponyface skirt, and only wore a jade flower hairpin, seemed even more elegant than the other three. Her expression was calm, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her, and she quietly fiddled with the teacup in her hand.

These people had all come, but her own mother was nowhere to be seen ? the head of the Prime Minister's Estate.

Having roughly seen through her thoughts, Aunt Xiao said in a comforting tone, "The First Wife has invited the Great Master to come back. The Great Master has instructed her to cultivate diligently, she is currently reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall."

"Mother is also studying to ensure the safety of the family. I'll pay my respects later." She could see through Aunt Xiao's intentions with a single glance. She wanted so many people to welcome her, but she didn't want to see her own mother. This way, she could create disagreements between them and rope her in even further.

Hearing her tactful reply, Aunt Xiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered her happiness. "Yes, yes, yes, you're right." "Now that they are finally back, even if all the children in our mansion are in order, I am relieved."

Lian Xiyue's face revealed a docile and soft, harmless smile. She slightly cupped her hands towards Auntie Xiao and the other aunts and said, "Ru Yue greets the other aunts, making them all worry."

In truth, she was very clear about the grudges between the few women in the harem. This time, they could only be used in the future. Thinking of this, her mood became exceptionally comfortable.

Lian Ru Yue sat on the chair and held her hand as she cried once more. Lian Yue patiently played along with her deep love for her and pretended to raise her sleeves to wipe her tears away. "Aunt, please take care of yourself. Ru Yue has already come back. It's all thanks to Aunt's love and care. Otherwise, Ru Yue probably wouldn't be able to come back so unharmed."

Hearing her words, Mistress Xiao's heart skipped a beat. A strange feeling flashed through her heart, but if one looked carefully, it was as if Lian Ru Yue was looking at her with gratitude. There were even tears of gratitude in her eyes, making her unable to see any flaws.

"Hmph ?" At this time, a cold snort came from inside the room. Second Branch Hu looked at Lian Ruyue and said in a neither cold nor hot manner, "Your house is in good condition. Our second house will never be in good condition again."

Three years ago, the young master of the second house, Lian Yun Lang, and the eldest son of the eldest house, Lian Lu, had a dispute over a short sword. Lian Ru Yue and Lian Shi Ya happened to pass by and went forward to persuade them. Lian Ru Yue shouted for help and for some reason, in the normally busy backyard, she couldn't call for a servant. Lian Ru Yue was about to go down to save her, but Lian Shi Ya stopped her and told her not to take the risk while she went to find someone to help.

But in the end, Lian Lian Fang climbed out of the pond. When Lian Shiya called the person over, Lian Yun Lang had already drowned in the water.

The pitiful Lian Fu, who thought that he had caused the death of Lian Yun Lang, was also severely beaten by Lian Yan Qing. From then on, the Second House hated the First Madam and Lian Ruyue, but because Lian Lian Fu was the son of the family, they couldn't do anything to him.

Now that he thought about it, there was something fishy about this fact. It was most likely another scheme set up by Madam Xiao. Their goal was to use Consecutive Techniques, but Lian Yun Lang had become a scapegoat.

Furthermore, since then, Madam Hu did not come out anymore. Second Master Lian Yan Feng had filled in several concubines and gave birth to a son, so she could only hold onto her daughter and obsess over the matter. She wished that Lian Ruyue and the other two would die, thus she made things difficult for Lian Ruyue and helped Aunt Xiao in the open and in the dark.

Therefore, Lian Ru Yue could understand how the Hu family hated her to the bones at this moment. However, she also pitied her and hated the wrong person all these years.

"Second Aunt, please forgive me." She lowered her head and tightly held Aunt Xiao's hand, looking very scared.

Mistress Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly. "Second Mistress, the matter with Yunlang was an accident. Liuyue and Eldest Young Master definitely didn't do it on purpose. They've already been gone for several years, so you should let it go."

Lian Ru Yue was impressed by what Xiao Niang had said. How come she didn't notice it in her previous life? She seemed to be speaking up for Lian Ruyue, but she picked the most heartbroken Hu family. Listening to the most ear-piercing words, it unknowingly made Lian Ruyue's hatred towards Lian Ruyue deepen.

Sure enough, Hu Shi stood up, his eyes were red, and he said angrily, "That's right. It's been many years. If Yun Lang doesn't die, he'll be thirteen this year. I can be as happy as a big house. But I don't have that kind of life. An accident? Hmph, is my life so worthless? Why didn't the son die unexpectedly? Auntie Xiao, you said that the children of this house are finally here. Without Yunlang, how could they be here? "Is my Yun Lang not a child of this house?"

"This ?" Auntie Xiao's face was full of guilt. "Second Madam, you ? you know that's not what I mean, I ?"

"Stop it!" Hu Shi suddenly stood up and walked in front of Lian Ru Yue. She gave her a fierce glare before raising her leg to leave. That gaze seemed to want to dig out Lian Ru Yue's heart to swallow it.
