The Fierce Illegitimate Miss - Chapter 90
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
In a blink of an eye, it was Yu Weiwu’s wedding day. Yu Linglong naturally would not go to the front to participate. Only Ling’er and a few little maids ran to the front to watch the excitement, coming back from time to time to talk about the situation.
“The new wife is the second young lady from Jiang Yuan’s house. The dowry has been carried and prayed over. It has just been carried out from the morning until now. It’s all in the west wing of the uncle’s yard, and the house is full!”
“After worshipping heaven and earth, the old lady was very happy. A lot of people came to congratulate us, and some people asked about our family’s marriage with Gan Taifu’s family!”
“The uncle was filled with a lot of wine, and the road was unsteady. Even the third master took a sip of the wine. His tears were so hot that he was crying and crying to find Concubine Dong!”
Ling’er and others talked about it, but Yu Linglong only leaned on the couch with her eyes closed and rested.
A few days ago, because of the fact that General Yu was being transferred to southern Xinjiang to supervise the battle, the people who came and went on weekdays were deliberately alienated from entering the house. This time, the news that Master Gan and Lady Gan came to propose marriage in person immediately caused everyone, including people who usually had nothing to say, to inquire about the news. Even those who have only had a lower status came with gifts and found various excuses to visit, wanting to curry favor with General Yu’s Mansion.
It can be said that in General Yu and Mu Shi’s many years together, they had never been so flattered. In these days, General Yu’s face was red, Mu Shi was very pleased, and they spoke and acted like Gan Taifu’s relatives.
Yu Linglong was also a little surprised to learn that Master Gan and Lady Gan had come to the door in person. Last time she rescued Gan Lin by accident, and she guessed that this matter would not be dropped. Looking at Gan’s family, they turned over the entire capital in order to find Gan Lin, and she knew that they would do everything possible to find the person who rescued Gan Lin. She casually said Yu Qianjiao’s name because she didn’t want to cause trouble for herself, but she didn’t expect that the Gan family would really come here and even propose to Yu Qianjiao.
She let Gan Lin devote his life to her, was this the plot in the script?
When Yu Linglong thought about this, she couldn’t help but smile. She would let them be tormented, and wait until Gan Lin found out that Yu Qianjiao was not the one who rescued him, and there would be a lawsuit to fight.
But what did this have to do with her? At this time, she couldn’t think of modern things, like how you can get a divorce if you want one. If the Gan family wanted to retreat, it would probably be really troublesome.
Yu Linglong was thinking about it happily, but heard a rush of footsteps in the yard, followed by Ling’er’s cry: “Miss, miss!”
Yu Linglong was both angry and humored. She stood up from the couch and looked at Ling’er who had just run to the door: “Xuan Cao said you have no rules. You are really becoming ruder and ruder. What are you running for? What’s the excitement?”
On weekdays, she rarely disciplined the maids in Pinlan Garden. Ling’er was young, lively, and cheerful, and developed freely whether Yu Linglong taught her or not. She bounced and jumped all day long, and she easily blabbed.
Ling’er stopped her hurried footsteps, and said breathlessly: “That…that Lord Xu is here!”
Yu Linglong furrowed her eyebrows: “Close the door! Don’t let him in!”
Ling’er said: “The lord didn’t come to Pinlan Garden. He congratulated him in the front yard!”
Yu Linglong almost spat out her tea. Lord Xu came to congratulate Yu Weiwu? Why did this sound so strange?
Wasn’t that kid not even paying attention to General Yu? And he came to congratulate Yu Weiyuan, a lieutenant from the eighth rank guard? This guy was too fascinating.
Yu Linglong lay back on the couch lazily and said, “It’s best if he doesn’t come!”
As soon as the voice fell, there was already a familiar voice outside the door: “I can hear you, why are you so sour?”
Lord Xu wore a jade crown on his head and a light robe, and slowly played with a carved ebony fan in his hand, and walked in with a smile: “Linglong, I have been looking for you during the dinner for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to go out.”
Yu Linglong regretted not closing the door just now to accidentally let this guy in again, but she changed her mind. Even if she closed the door, this kid would probably jump over the wall to come in.
Yu Linglong turned over and turned her back to Lord Xu, completely ignoring him.
Lord Xu sat down on the stool next to the couch and looked at Yu Linglong with his unblinking deep and mysterious eyes, and asked with concern: “Why, are you uncomfortable?”
As soon as Lord Xu came in, Ling’er consciously withdrew. At this time, there were only Yu Linglong and Lord Xu in the room, and they looked extremely quiet.
The summer sun was projected on the beauty couch by the window. Yu Linglong was only wearing a hazy silver silk robe, leaning against the silver-and-red flower pillow, and her long hair was casually spread on the couch like a splash of ink, making her skin look delicate and lovely.
It’s just that this beauty didn’t even have a slight smile. In the brilliant sunshine, her white porcelain face was as cold as an iceberg.
The noise of cicadas coming from outside the window disturbed her. There seemed to be birds flying on the roof, and there was a slight noise from the bricks. The sound was not loud, but it was especially obvious in a quiet room.
Lord Xu’s eyes were dim. He suddenly approached Yu Linglong and smiled: “I haven’t seen you for many days, do you think I don’t miss you?”
The refreshing scent of mint mixed with the scent of incense burning in the room seemed to linger on Yu Linglong’s nose. Yu Linglong suddenly remembered something, and her heart sank unconsciously.
The beautiful black onyx eyes slowly lifted up, as if filled with moist water vapor. This hot summer was refreshing.
Yu Linglong looked at Lord Xu’s eyes with a smile, and then suddenly smiled slightly.
This smile, like the first bloom of a spring flower, was so beautiful that he couldn’t look anywhere else.
The expression on Lord Xu’s face was slightly stagnant, but his cynical smile was restored in an instant, and he couldn’t help but move forward again: “I know you still remember me—”
Before he finished speaking, Yu Linglong waved her hand quickly and slapped him in the face fiercely!
The handsome face quickly moved to one side, and the next moment Yu Linglong’s wrist was pinched by Lord Xu.
The hot temperature came from her hand, and it felt slightly rough. Yu Linglong did not move, but raised her small face like a hibiscus, fixedly looking at Lord Xu, her pink lips slightly opened, and she spoke lightly.
“Your Royal Highness, your skill is so good!”
The force on her wrist suddenly tightened, but then quickly loosened, as if everything was just an illusion.
Lord Xu smiled and let go of his hand, and said triumphantly: “Are you complimenting me? Excuse me! Excuse me!”
Yu Linglong took her hand back, with a look on her face, and said in a deep voice: “Yu Lieyang, I beat you and scolded you, why do you always come to me?”
Lord Xu laughed loudly and said, “Flirting or not, are we a harmonious couple?”
Yu Linglong’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneering smile rose from the corner of her mouth: “Really? I just know that His Royal Highness Lord Xu always comes to me because I often beat you and scold you.”
Her white hand slowly stroked the place where Lord Xu had just grabbed her. Yu Linglong said coldly: “After that, I won’t beat and scold you again, and please don’t come again.”
When she said this, she was already expressing an attitude of concession. At this moment, there was a faint hunch in her heart. She seemed to know the answer she wanted.
The answer had been buried for so long and so deep that she almost thought she would never find it again, but unexpectedly, the answer she wanted to know had already been buried in her heart, but she had never looked at it.
A trace of pain rose in Lord Xu’s eyes, but it was fleeting.
The next moment, he lowered his head, held Yu Linglong’s wrist with his big hand, and asked nervously, “Did I hurt you? Linglong, I’ll rub it for you, don’t be angry.”
The man’s hair touched her face, with a nice mint smell, but Yu Linglong’s eyes fell on the jade crown on his head. The whole piece of white jade was carved into the crown, so delicate. But in the warm touch, there was a faint chill.
Allowing Lord Xu to hold her wrist, Yu Linglong bent her head, her pink lips were close to Lord Xu’s ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Is there someone on the roof?”
The movement of Lord Xu squeezing her wrist suddenly stopped. He raised his head. The laughter on his face faded easily, a sharp look rose in his eyes, and he looked straight at Yu Linglong, but his whispering voice was sharp and fearless.
“Are you scared?”
Yu Linglong looked at the two little reflections in his eyes that looked like reflections in an ancient well.
She smiled disdainfully: “Afraid? You underestimate me.”
Withdrawing her hand quickly, Yu Linglong didn’t know what it was like. Now that she knew that Lord Xu’s passionate pursuit of herself was nothing more than a concealment, she did not feel relaxed at the moment when she guessed the truth.
Outside the window, the yard is full of swaying orchids, exuding a faint fragrance under the scorching heat of summer, which made them sleepy. Further out, there was the faint sound of gongs and drums, and there were countless guests drinking, and talking and laughing loudly.
But in this small room of Pinlan Garden, time seemed to stop, and the air seemed to be frozen. The two people sat opposite each other. It seemed to outsiders that they were nothing more than normal lovers, but only the two people in it knew what kind of turbulent waves were surging between them.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
After a while, Lord Xu raised his hand, gently gathered the hair by Yu Linglong’s ear, and said softly: “You’re tired, you should rest.”
Yu Linglong lowered her eyes and remained silent.
She didn’t know what Lord Xu’s intention was, and she didn’t know what kind of people were watching them in the dark. In this case, she decided to stop with silence.
If it hadn’t been too quiet in the house just now, she wouldn’t have heard the soft noise of the bricks on the roof, let alone guess that someone had been spying on them in the dark.
This kind of person’s skill was really terrifying if even she couldn’t notice she was being monitored.
They dared to lie on her roof during the day without fear of being spotted. This kind of person’s disguise must be top-notch.
Looking at the tall and straight back of Lord Xu, Yu Linglong vaguely guessed that those who watched them should be heading towards Lord Xu.
She was just a small general’s illegitimate daughter, who was more worthy of being tracked and monitored? As the prince, Lord Xu was at the center of the power of the world. Was it true that he chased flowers and willows, and was eating, drinking, and having fun all the time, just like a little prince?
What was he hiding from her?
…
Early the next morning, Yu Linglong went to Jingshan Hall to visit Lady Yu.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of Jingshan Hall, she met a strange girl in a red phoenix dress, who was about to enter the room.
Ling’er on the side whispered: “Miss, this is the new wife.”
When Yu Linglong heard the words, she saw that the girl was not tall, and her bright red dress looked a little heavy on her body, and the golden hairpin swaying all over her head seemed to be unable to lift her head even more. She was petite looking, and her skin was very moisturized and exuded a healthy glow.
Seeing someone looking at her, the girl turned her head and looked at Yu Linglong, showing a shy and kind smile.
Yu Linglong nodded, and as a response, she rushed into the room.
Ying Han came out hurriedly: “The fourth lady is here. The lady was still talking about you just now.”
Yu Linglong walked to the bed and looked at Lady Yu’s face first: “How do you feel today?”
Lady Yu’s complexion was a little pale, and she no longer looked ruddy and radiant. She coughed twice before saying: “Nothing special, don’t worry about me, I can’t die!”
Yu Linglong motioned to Ling’er to bring up the food box: “I heard that people who are sick can’t drink sour plum soup. I had someone cook some mung bean pancakes with syrup for you to keep out the heat.”
Lady Yu smiled and pointed to the bedside and said: “Your mother just sent someone to bring lotus soup this morning. I haven’t finished it yet. And you’re giving me more food! Do you think I am an old jug?”
They gossiped for a bit, and Ningshuang stepped forward and said, “Lady, the new wife has been waiting outside for a while. She wants to serve you tea.”
The Lady Yu sighed, “I’m like this. I didn’t even attend the banquet yesterday. What kind of tea can I drink?”
Mother Wang smiled and said: “The rules can never be changed, and the new wife also knows etiquette.”
Lady Yu nodded and said, “Let her come in.”
The girl in the red wedding dress came into the room, and the room full of medicine suddenly smelled bright. The girl took the teacup brought by the maid, walked up in small steps, and said while bowing, “The granddaughter-in-law offers you tea and wishes the old lady good health and a long life.”
Lady Yu was helped by Mother Wang and tried to sit up, and after looking at the girl for a while, she took the teacup: “This is a good child, what’s your name?”
The girl replied softly: “My name is Jiang Yuezhen.”
Lady Yu took a sip of tea and handed it to Ying Han, who was on the side and was helped by Mother Wang to lie down.
Seeing that Lady Yu wanted to lie down, Jiang Yuezhen hurriedly stepped forward to help. Unexpectedly, the dress on her body was too cumbersome and she hit the little stool on the bedside.
The stool fell over, and the bowl on it fell to the ground with a snap, and the soup inside was spilled all over the floor.
Jiang Yuezhen was taken aback, hurriedly tried to pick up the pieces on the ground, and said quietly: “It’s all because of me being careless, please don’t blame me—”
Jiang Yuezhen’s hand touched a piece of white fungus on the ground, and her voice suddenly stopped. She seemed to look at the white fungus in her hand in disbelief and raised her head to look at the old lady Yu.
Seeing her squatting on the ground, Ningshuang hurriedly took the porcelain piece from her hand and said, “Miss, you don’t have to do this. Be careful not to hurt your hand, let me help.”
Yu Linglong didn’t see the scene on the ground. As soon as Lady Yu saw the stool turning over, she didn’t care that Jiang Yuezhen was picking up the broken porcelain, and told Jiang Yuezhen not to touch it. Who knew that in this emergency, she kept coughing. Yu Linglong stood by the bed, paying attention to Lady Yu’s situation, and did not pay attention to Jiang Yuezhen’s strangeness.
Jiang Yuezhen stood up, lowered her head deeply. Her face changed a bit, but after all, she said nothing.
The others seemed to think that she had made a mistake when she was serving tea to Lady Yu for the first time and was panicking. Instead, she came to comfort her. Fortunately, Lady Yu was a good talker, saying that the new wife was too nervous and did not blame her too much and reminding her that this matter will pass.
Seeing Jiang Yuezhen going out, Lady Yu couldn’t help sighing: “Brother Wu has also married a daughter-in-law. I don’t know if I can look forward to the day when I embrace my great-grandson.”
Yu Linglong said: “It’s just a small illness, so what can I do so much?
Mother Wang on the side also comforted: “Don’t say this, Lady. Now that the new wife enters the house, within a year, the old lady will be able to hold the great-grandson. I am afraid that the great-grandson will be so plump that you won’t be able to hold him!”
Lady Yu who said a few words also smiled, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed.
Jiang Yuezhen’s arrival seemed to bring joy to the Jingshan Hall. Lady Yu looked very energetic, speaking with Yu Linglong for a long time before letting her out.
Outside of Jingshan Hall, Yu Linglong only felt the bright sun outside, but she couldn’t relax her mood.
It stands to reason that if Lady Yu would box for a while every morning on weekdays, then her body was strong, and even if she was sick, she should heal faster than ordinary people. Besides, General Yu didn’t have to go to southern Xinjiang now, and Lady Yu’s heart disease should also be going away. But she had been sick for so long, why was it still not better?
Not only was it not good, but in recent days, her face seemed to be much more serious, and her speech was not as full of confidence as before.
Yu Linglong couldn’t figure out the connections here, so she had to think that Lady Yu was old and stubborn, and she was getting older, so she dragged it on like this.
With a slight sigh, Yu Linglong led Ling’er towards Pinlan Garden.
…
After a few days, the excitement of organizing the happy event had passed. All kinds of red decorations had also been removed from the various courtyards, and everything went back to normal
Lord Xu had not appeared for a while, and the doubts in Yu Linglong’s heart couldn’t be solved, but now that she knew that he was not really pursuing her, Yu Linglong no longer cared about Lord Xu’s magic. If he didn’t come, she would be happy.
This day, Yu Linglong was looking at the two pillows that Luyun had just embroidered in her room. The little maid from Jingshan Hall came to invite her: “Fourth Lady, the old lady asks you to please come over.”
Yu Linglong nodded and turned back to tell Xuan Cao: “Put these two pillows away.”
After a while, Yu Linglong took Ling’er out.
Just after noon, it was quiet in Jingshan Hall. As soon as Yu Linglong entered the room, she saw Lady Yu sitting on the bed, half sitting on the pillow, with a smile on her face talking to people.
Seeing Yu Linglong entering the room, Lady Yu beckoned her to go over: “Come here. I have seen your five sisters.”
Yu Linglong looked up and saw a girl in a lilac jacquard silk dress standing next to the bed of the old lady. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a plain silver hairpin on her head. A circle of pale pink palace flowers was on her head and two pearl drop earrings hung on her earlobes. Her small face was very clean and she had no rouge, but she still couldn’t conceal her beautiful complexion.
Lady Yu took the girl’s hand, pointed at Yu Linglong and said, “Yun’er, you haven’t been back in years, don’t you recognize her? This is your fourth sister.”
Yu Qianyun stood up with her eyes down, bowed a little timidly, and whispered, “Hello, Fourth Sister.”
Yu Linglong looked at Yu Qianyun. This girl was very plain, she would almost forget her once she saw her, and she could not leave any deep impression.
In the Yu house, Yu Qianjiao was pretentious and domineering, Yu Qianfang was insidious and introverted, Yu Qianliu was smart and pungent, and this fifth young lady, Yu Qianyun, seemed to be a quiet and delicate girl.
Yu Linglong nodded as a greeting, and walked directly to Lady Yu’s bed, and sat down.
Lady Yu looked at the two granddaughters in front of her, one as pretty as ice and snow, and the other as elegant as jade. She looked very happy, and she seemed to have recovered a little bit from the illness. She beckoned Yu Qianyun to sit down and said to Yu Linglong: “Your Fifth Sister has been raised in the country since childhood, but her etiquette and rules are excellent. In the future, you sisters should get along well.”
Yu Qianyun smiled shyly and said softly: “Lady, you’ve been rewarded.”
Yu Linglong heard what the old lady said, and her heart was moved slightly, and she glanced at Yu Qianyun calmly.
Although General Yu’s family was not big, it was definitely not a family that could not afford to raise children. Why was Yu Qianyun sent out of the mansion and raised in the countryside when she was young?
Even if she was taken back to the mansion at this moment, Yu Qianyun did not look flattered at all. Her face was faint, with a little shyness and politeness, as if she had just gone out to play and returned home.
Yu Linglong retracted her gaze, chatted with Lady Yu a few things, then got up and left.
Seeing her standing up, Yu Qianyun also stood up, and Lady Yu said: “Why are both of you leaving?”
Yu Qianyun smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lady, Yun’er will send off the fourth sister, and I will be back to keep you company.”
Lady Yu nodded with a smile, letting the two of them leave.
When she reached the door, Yu Qianyun stopped and said, “Fourth Sister, I have just returned, and I will ask you to take care of her in the future.”
Yu Linglong looked at Yu Qianyun. She was asking her to take care of her?
In this mansion, there was Lady Yu at the top, General Yu and Mu Shi in the middle, and there are Yu Qianfang, Yu Qianliu, Yu Weiwu, and Yu Weide, these elder brothers and sisters, but Yu Qianyun said she wanted her to take care of the Lady?
Yu Linglong remembered the situation just now and didn’t say anything about it. She just smiled slightly and said meaningfully: “The old lady likes you very much. Just serve the old lady with peace of mind.”
Yu Qianyun should be aware that Yu Linglong’s position in the heart of the old lady was not ordinary, so she said this to her, right?
This girl had a great ability to observe words and their meanings, and she was not a character that can be underestimated.
Yu Qianyun didn’t seem to understand the meaning of Yu Linglong’s words, and smiled politely at her, and said: “Then I won’t accompany you home. Please get home safe.”
Yu Linglong walked out of the door and saw that Yu Qianyun had already returned to her room, and she told Ling’er: “Go and find out what the hell is going on with this Fifth Lady?”
Intuition told her that this young Yu Qianyun was not as simple as she seemed on the surface.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
