Chapter 52 A Year of Filial Piety
Yuyi was choked, and Yuyan continued, "So, today, this case cannot be examined no matter what, right? It's best if my brother-in-law and sister beat you fifty boards, or maybe you don't even punish them. That's what you think, right?"
The more Yuyan said something, the more ugly Xiao Dingquan's face became. Yuyi was still calm at first. The more she saw Xiao Dingquan's face looked ugly, the more she became scared. Finally, she trembled, "Why do second sister always complain about me? Second sister suspected that I was wrong, so she just said it!"
"I have no evidence, even if someone hears it, I'm afraid you will say that the man did perjury. However, I do doubt you, because Thirteenth Master is a man, and my father once said that none of the men in the Xiao family are narrow-minded people. I believe it. Thirteenth Master cannot be in trouble with a little girl, and a little eunuch would never say to the girl wearing a mooncloaked gauze that she is a poor relative!"
Zhu Yuyi was wearing a moon gauze worth a thousand gold, a thin layer. At first glance, it seemed to be nothing, but as her steps moved, the hazy and faint appeared and made people look at her like watching Chang'e flying fairy. Yuwei never dreamed that she had just given Yuyi a moon gauze that she put on her body today.
For a moment, I felt mixed emotions!
"I don't……"
Yuyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Do you dare say that you were not wearing Yuelangshi this morning before changing into this outfit?"
"But when my elder sister gave me the moon yarn, she clearly said that she would give you one, which you don't want!"
"Enough!" Yuwei couldn't hold on anymore. She glared at Yuyi, "Starting today, I will punish you for one month of jail!"
"Since it is a confinement, older sister, why not let the third sister copy a hundred Buddhist scriptures for the former king! The third sister is wrong, and it is also because I, the sister who is not well taught. I am also wrong. I am willing to be punished with the third sister and pray for the former king copying Buddhist scriptures!"
She would not accompany her when she was confined, but she would practice calligraphy every morning and evening, so she would only practice calligraphy.
Sure enough, as soon as Yuyan's words came out, Yuwei and Xiao Dingquan's eyes looked at her softer. Xiao Dingquan asked with a smile, "You are not wrong in this matter, why are you willing to be punished?"
Xiao Jingyong's face was extremely ugly. As a man, he could naturally see what the doting look in Xiao Dingquan's eyes meant? He couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, and his robe and knee pants were wrinkled.
"The former king was a heroic lord. Yuyan only regretted that she was young and had no chance to see the heroic posture of the former king. She was able to pray for the former king and keep filial piety, which was actually the blessing of Yuyan. Yuyan here begged the king to allow Yuyan to keep filial piety for the former king for one year and fulfill the duties of the people!"
After she finished speaking, she knelt down, "Yu Yan is willing to mourn the king of kings and sister for one year on behalf of her brother-in-law and sister, so as to repay her brother-in-law and sister for raising her!"
It was not to escape anything. Xiao Dingquan and Yuwei both felt relieved and were particularly moved by Yuyan's innocent heart. She happened to kneel in front of Yuwei, and Yuwei helped her up with her own hands, "We all know your filial piety, but..."
Yuyan looked up at Xiao Dingquan. Xiao Dingquan didn't know what he thought of, but he actually agreed, "It's only one year. I should have been mourning for me, but no matter how I requested it, the court officials and relatives did not agree. Yuyan is not someone else. So let Yuyan mourn you and me for a year!"
Xiao Jingyong's eyes fell on Yuyan without a trace, and a burst of anxiety surged in his heart. For him, it was still so urgent. Can he win many battles in a year? From then on, he will no longer be the piece of fish on Xiao Dingquan's chopping board, which made Xiao Dingquan afraid of him?
There was something else in the previous dynasty. After Xiao Dingquan and Xiao Jingyong and his brothers came out, Yuwei said to Yuyan, "Why did you say filial piety just now? The girl's time is precious. In a year, I don't know how many earth-shaking changes will happen in the king's harem. What will you do then?"
Yuyan smiled, "Sister, if you want to give birth to a baby for the king and make this child good for our Jingzhou in the future, you may not have to give birth to yourself, right? This is actually an extremely simple thing, but it is not easy to occupy a certain position in the king's mind."
She said only this and asked, "I heard that Jingzhou has a letter? I wonder if there is something wrong at home?"
"Oh, nothing, after you left, Dad sent his little sister to Yuzhou!"
"Why? Didn't my dad say that my aunt had already made friends with her little sister and got married just when the time came? Why did he send her little sister to Yuzhou again?"
Yuyan and her younger sister Yuting are not very familiar with each other. They are familiar with each other in their previous lives because they are in Xiao Dingquan's harem, and the three sisters share the same service/one husband. Yuting is the one who is most favored by Xiao Dingquan. She hates her and her elder sister very much and refuses to make peace with her sister until she dies.
In his previous life, Xiao Dingquan took her back from Yuzhou. So what about this life? Maybe everything will follow the old path. Thinking of the little sister being spoiled by Xiao Dingquan later, and his husband and wife were loving and wanted to kill her several times, Yuyan suddenly didn't want to ask.
Unexpectedly, Yuwei continued, "I also secretly told you that the king brought a letter to my father, saying that it was in Yuzhou and wanted his father to restrain him for the time being. Now, you also know that my father was ill and could not even climb up the horse's back. How could he fight? Moreover, the troops that can fight were brought by you, so he could only come up with such a way to marry Yuzhou."
Yuzhou is adjacent to Jinzhou, and is even closer to Shangjing than to Jingzhou. Although Yuyan knew that Xiao Dingquan would soon lead troops to pacify Yuzhou, before that, he actually wanted his father to restrain Jingzhou and sacrificed his little sister for nothing.
What an injustice!
In my previous life, I wonder if my little sister would know that she was sent to Yuzhou and later became a widow. In fact, it was the man she loved the most.
Seeing that Yuyan's face was a little bad, Yuwei warned her, "The things on the battlefield are all men's affairs and have nothing to do with us women and children. By the way, if you keep mourning in front of the spirit of Lao Wang, what are you going to do?"
Yuyan hurriedly said, "Then I need to ask my sister to help me clean up a side courtyard, or I move out of the palace, and it's also good to live in our Zhu family's house."
"No, how could you put the portrait of the old king in our house? That's it. Ziyun Pavilion was originally a temple. The concubines from the previous dynasty lived there. When I entered the palace, I saw it. It was not damaged. In front is Lingyan Pavilion, next to it is Ningyin Temple. The portraits of the ancestors are worshipped, and behind is Qianbuling. There are many bamboos planted inside. It is quite quiet and suitable for you to keep filial piety."
"Thank you sister!"
