Chu Wang Fei

祖母 zumu – grandmother

It was said that Yuan Qing Zhou didn’t really leave, but had hidden himself in a corner, letting his guards secretly follow the carriage……

The carriage first passed through the xiangfu. Yun Qian Meng bid farewell to Ji Shu Yu, and was immediately met with Mi mama‘s bow, “nubi greets da xiaojie!” Then, after commanding people to bring out the sedan chair, and helping Yun Qian Meng to take a seat, she finally said quietly, “da xiaojie, Liu yiniang invited you to immediately go to Feng He Yuan!”

“What happened?” Seeing Mi mama‘s grave expression, Yun Qian Meng couldn’t help but frown and ask!

“Answering da xiaojie, xiangye just decreed that Su yiniang and er xiaojie are no longer grounded! Right now, an imperial physician is taking Su yiniang‘s pulse!” Mi mama looked around to make sure everyone around were yatou from Qi Luo Yuan, then moved closet to the sedan chair and spoke softly, “The matters xiaojie handed over to nubi have been completed, that person is currently in Ye city!”

Hearing this, Yun Qian Meng raised her eyebrows as a cold light flashed across her eyes. It seems, while she was grounded, Su Qing didn’t stay idle. What was most worrying was that within her stomach, already carried Yun Xuan Zhi’s child. Otherwise, without absolute certainty, they wouldn’t have troubled an imperial physician!

While carefully reflecting, she felt the sedan chair being steadily put down on the ground. Outside, Mu Chun had immediately run over to the door of the sedan chair, carefully lifted the brown curtains, and helped Yun Qian Meng out. Everyone then passed through the drawing room to enter the houyuan……

Just as they stepped into Feng He Yuan, they saw that the servants were all carrying a cheerful atmosphere while standing in the courtyard. Although they bowed when they saw Yun Qian Meng arrive, the complacence in their eyes were as clear as day!

Yun Qian Meng didn’t take notice of these lowly people’s expressions as if their dreams had come true. Faintly sweeping her gaze across them, she then brought Mu Chun and the others to enter the room……

Just as they were about to step into the room, they saw Liu yiniang personally raise the door’s curtains and come out to meet them. Seeing Yun Qian Meng come over, Liu yiniang‘s face was full of happiness, but the loneliness hidden deep in her eyes did not escape Yun Qian Meng’s sharp eyes!

“da xiaojie, you’re here. It’s cold outside, quickly come in to warm up!” Carefully helping Yun Qian Meng take off her bright-green overcoat, Liu yiniang gave Yun Qian Meng a meaningful glance while turning towards the room!

Yun Qian Meng gave her a reassuring smile, then waited for the yatou to announce their arrival before walking into the room……

“nü’er greets father!” Since she had anticipated long ago that Yun Xuan Zhi would definitely be here, when she saw him, Yun Qian Meng naturally and magnanimously bowed in greeting!

After that, she straightened up and lifted her eyes to take a look. Right now, Yun Xuan Zhi was sitting by the bed, embracing a blushing Su yiniang within his bosom. Both of them had joyful and blessed expressions, presumably having already received the imperial physician’s confirmation!

And the Yun Xuan Zhi right now, with his whole heart, only had eyes for Su Qing. Seeing that Yun Qian Meng had arrived, he only hurriedly nodded!

“meimei greets jiejie!” Yun Yan at the side then quickly came over, respectfully bowing towards Yun Qian Meng!

However, before Yun Qian Meng could respond, Yun Ruo Xue who had been standing in front of the bed walked over with an overly pleased expression on her face and gave Yun Qian Meng a sloppu bow. “meimei greets jiejie! jiejie, we haven’t seen each other for a long time! Now that yiniang is pregnant, don’t know how jiejie feels?!”

Yun Qian Meng had already guessed Liu Han Yu’s reason for calling her over. Hence, against Yun Ruo Xue’s deliberate provocation, she remained smiling, instead overtook her and went to the front of the bed, then congratulated Yun Xuan Zhi while smiling from ear to ear, “Congratulations, father! If Su yiniang manages to carry a son, then our Yun family will finally have a qualified successor!”

Yun Ruo Xue never expected Yun Qian Meng to be so deeply shrewd, able to keep her composure after hearing such a thing. For a short moment, her expression became somewhat unsightly, only after thinking that Yun Qian Meng could just be showing a tough front, she closely followed her over to the bedside, deliberately saying, “jiejie doesn’t feel sad?”

At these words, the corner Yun Qian Meng’s mouth curled into a faintly mocking smile, while Yun Xuan Zhi’s originally smiling lips couldn’t help but slightly stiffen, before his eyes shot towards Yun Ruo Xue with dissatisfaction!

And Su Qing just took note of everyone’s expressions, secretly shot a glare at Yun Ruo Xue, then cuddled against Yun Xuan Zhi’s bosom, softly saying, “xiangye, this time nubi is pregnant, must be the blessings from our ancestors! nubi wants to inform the old madam about the news. Don’t know what xiangye thinks about it?”

Yun Xuan Zhi was currently over the moon, naturally felt like hearing and obeying Su Qing’s words. Just as she finished, Yun Xuan Zhi was already seen commanding Wang mama to handle the matter!

But Su Qing hastily stopped him, lightly smiling to say, “xiangye, listen to nubi finish first!”

Yun Xuan Zhi lowered his head with his eyes full of tenderness, then smiled and nodded, “Go on, whatever you want to do is alright!”

Su Qing just raised her eyes and swept a glance at Yun Qian Meng, then finally spoke sweetly, “xiangye, firstly, the old madam is already coming on in years. nubi wants to receive her back into the fu to properly show filial respect! Secondly, if this fetus is really a boy, nubi could at last help xiangye to continue the legacy of our Yun family, and also let the old madam see her grandchild grow up into an adult!”

Yun Xuan Zhi didn’t expect Su Qing would become so thoughtful after becoming pregnant, immediately loved her even more dearly in his heart. In particular, her suggestions were quite good, so he immediately nodded to agree!

After all, the reason his own mother was living in Su city, was his own fault!

Because of this matter, those imperial censors had accused him of unfilial conduct for many years. If this time, he could welcome his mother back, then it was just enough to clear his name!

Thinking so, Yun Xuan Zhi was even more delighted, almost regretting that he couldn’t clasp Su Qing in the cup of his hands!

“But!” Su Qing looked at Yun Xuan Zhi’s joy, then continued the thread of discussion, “xiangye, that year, the old madam left in a fit of anger because of nubi! If we simply send a servant over to receive her now, I’m afraid that she, an elderly, would be unwilling! Why not, let da xiaojie go to receive her?! After all, when furen was still alive, her relationship with the old madam was very harmonious!”

Hearing this, Yun Qian Meng immediately understood Su Qing’s intentions!

The distance of Su city from the capital required ten days of journeying with a carriage. Su Qing only needed to pull some tricks during the course of this ten day trip, then she would not be able to keep her life and return!

But recalling what Mi mama had just brought up earlier, Yun Qian Meng looked straight into Su Qing’s eyes that were concealing her deep hatred, nevertheless smiled gently. Only, her graceful eyebrows were slightly creased, as she somewhat awkwardly asked, “Father, how can an influential family’s xiaojie go far away on her own? If the imperial censors found out about this, I’m afraid that they will call our xiangfu‘s family principles into question and write an essay in front of the Emperor!”

Yun Xuan Zhi originally thought to put Su Qing’s words to practice, but after hearing Yun Qian Meng’s analysis, he started to waver!

Over the last few years, although he held the position of prime minister, he was not held in as high regard by Yu Qian Di as Chu Fei Yang. A large part of this was due to the unfilial accusations on his head!

If they added on another mark about his family principles, he only feared that he couldn’t keep his position as prime minister!

“But father, these years Meng’er hasn’t seen even a glimpse of zumu. Why not have both meimei accompany me to Su city? This way, by saying that we are visiting our family, it will only shut the imperial censors mouths!” Just as Yun Xuan Zhi felt like he was in between a rock and a hard place, Yun Qian Meng spoke once more!

At her words, not just Yun Xuan Zhi, even Su Qing’s heart was greatly astonished!

She absolutely never expected that Yun Qian Meng would be so easy to handle, unexpectedly readily agreeing with this matter!

However, this time Yun Qian Meng was pulling Yun Ruo Xue along. If she planned for any accidents to happen during their journey, she was afraid that she would to take even more extra measures!

But right now, Yun Ruo Xue showed her displeasure. She only scowled miserably, pulling Yun Xuan Zhi’s sleeves like a spoiled child and said, “Daddy, nü’er doesn’t want to go!”

When Yun Xuan Zhi heard her say this, his eyes immediately exposed a loathing expression. He immediately shook her off his sleeves and glared towards Yun Ruo Xue to say, “Don’t want to go? Don’t even want to see your zumu, huh? Does the word filial even exist in your heart? If you have the time, learn a bit from your dajie. Let the yatou make preparations today, then set off the day after tomorrow!”

Yun Ruo Xue saw that Yun Xuan Zhi was being so strict, she only felt wronged in her heart. Just as she wanted to retort, she was pulled back by Su Qing, hinting at her to be patient; she would naturally think of ways to let her stay behind!

On the other hand, Yun Qian Meng and Yun Yan happily accepted the matter. Only, Yun Qian Meng kept her attention on Su Qing’s expression. She only turned towards Wang mama and made things clear, “Properly take care of er xiaojie! If anything happens that will cause father to shoulder accusations of being unfilial, none of you can even bear the responsibility!”

When Su Qing and Yun Ruo Xue heard this, they momentarily looked towards Yun Qian Meng, unexpectedly unable to say a word……
