Chapter 476: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 21
Yu Family Front Hall
Everyone is back and everything is complete.
Sitting at the table were Old Madam Yu, Yu's father, Yu's mother, Yu's eldest brother Yu Zhifeng, Yu's youngest brother Yu Zhixian, Yu Zhizhi, and her.
Standing aside were several of Lord Yu's concubines.
The meal was quite peaceful.
Except for the younger brother of the Yu family and Yu Zhizhi who looked at her unfriendly, there was nothing wrong with other people.
Three days passed in a flash.
Apart from having to get up early every day to pay her respects to Madam Yu, she adapted quite well.
Finally, Lu Zhihuan heard what she wanted to hear.
Yu's father was in Madam Yu's yard, and the two of them were talking about her marriage to Yu Zhizhi.
The old lady sat on a carved pearwood chair, her back straight and her face full of shrewdness.
After taking a sip of hot tea, he said to Yu's father, "Zhizhi and the Lin family's young man's marriage is almost ready! Let's keep their identities a secret for now!"
Father Yu frowned, somewhat disapprovingly saying, "Mother, this isn't appropriate. After all, truth will come to light. Even if Lord Lin knew Zhizhi's background, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and she asked again: "If Lin doesn't mind, do you still plan to change people?"
Yu's father said with a righteous look on his face: "Lord Lin himself is from the countryside. If he knew Zhizhi's identity, he would definitely cherish her even more.
I will also make it clear that whether it's Zhizhi or Zhihuan, they are both my daughters and I treat them equally."
Old Madam Yu knew that her son was somewhat foolish, and there were some things she couldn't say directly.
Originally, she wanted to bring her back on the way back from Ning'an Temple that day. She wanted to adopt her as her godson and let her marry the boy from the Lin family in Zhizhi's place.
Fortunately, she was his own granddaughter and was very beautiful. If the emperor was not young, she could have entered the palace to become a queen.
She only has this one granddaughter, so she has to plan well for her. "This girl is already sixteen, it's time for her to look for a husband. I have a few candidates here, you can choose one later."
Father Yu knew his mother was a little unhappy, so he still bowed and said, "Mother, you're right, but this girl just came back, and we have to ask her opinion before we see her!"
The old lady's mouth corners turned down and her face became stern. It was obvious that these words made her even more unhappy, but in the end she did not offend her son.
He immediately handed the matter over to Yu's mother and asked her to take Zhihuan to buy some decent clothes and jewelry.
In the evening, Yu's mother told her to go to bed early and that she would take her out the next day.
Lu Zhihuan knew that if he wanted to meet someone, he would have to dress up anyway.
next day
Yu's mother took Lu Zhihuan to the silk and satin shop.
As the two entered, the proprietress, beaming, hurried forward to greet them. "Wow! I thought you were two fairies descending to earth! Look at this lady, her elegance is as graceful as an orchid, and her beauty is breathtaking. And look at this young lady, she's a spitting image of you. Her beauty is so stunning that even the fairies in heaven would be ashamed of themselves."
Madam Yu smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a mixture of reserve and pride. "Boss, you're too kind. Please don't be so glib."
This child does look about 60% similar to her, but his appearance is better than hers.
In addition to her appearance, she also deliberately observed her hands today, and found that the bones of her hands were particularly similar to those of her eldest son.
Only then did she feel that all this was not a dream, and that this was her own flesh and blood that she had carried for ten months.
The proprietress casually took out this year's new gold-woven satin and two mink cloaks and said, "Qiuniang, I've been doing business for so many years, and I've never seen such a stunning mother and daughter!"
"The fine materials in my shop are meant for noble people like Madam and Miss."
Yu's mother smiled gently and turned to look at Lu Zhihuan. "Zhihuan, come and see what kind of material you like."
Lu Zhihuan looked at Yu's mother in embarrassment, then lowered his head to look at the material.
Yu's mother suddenly realized, "If you like it, just say so."
Lu Zhihuan looked up happily and pointed at the most expensive one, "This one."
The proprietress smiled happily, "Miss, you really know what you are looking for. This is a new product this year. Look at the color, it matches your temperament perfectly!"
They spent more than 1,300 taels of silver before they left.
Just then someone shouted, "Make way! The Regent's carriage is coming."
Lu Zhihuan stopped and turned to look over. Tuying was riding a horse following a luxurious carriage.
Tuying looked over and Lu Zhihuan waved quietly.
Tuying nodded slightly, and then said something to the carriage.
She asked 996 to show her Xie Zhao's reaction.
Xie Zhao was reading the book in his hand. After hearing this, he just nodded lightly and continued to look at the book in his hand with an expressionless face.
Lu Zhihuan saw the small box beside him.
She curled her lips.
"Zhihuan." Yu's mother's voice came over.
Lu Zhihuan came back to his senses and shouted, "I'm coming."
Xie Zhao recognized her voice and looked up. Is that her?
I raised my hand to open the car window, but only saw her back flash by.
It turned out that he had misunderstood.
Then he closed the window and turned his head towards the small box.
He twirled his fingers in his sleeves, and finally just patted the box.
Anyone would be deeply moved by such an adventure! He was burdened with the responsibility of the country and did not have the extra energy to focus on a little girl, just to protect her safety.
It seems that she is living well after returning home, so that's good.
--------
When Lu Zhihuan and Yu's mother returned to Yu's house, Yu Zhizhi was standing at the gate with her eyes red from crying.
Seeing Yu's mother, tears burst out, "Mom!"
Yu's mother quickly ran over, hugged Yu Zhizhi in her arms, and kept comforting her with heartache, "Zhizhi, my daughter, why are you crying so sadly?"
Yu Zhizhi complained to her mother in a wronged tone, "Zhizhi had a nightmare. She dreamed that her family members didn't recognize her and kicked her out. Woohoo!"
"How could that be! You are my mother's most beloved treasure, no one will kick you out."
Yu Zhizhi hugged her mother and looked at Lu Zhihuan with a slightly provocative look.
Lu Zhihuan saw it, but secretly curled the corners of her mouth. Just now in the carriage, Yu's mother told her that she wanted to introduce her to someone and the Yu family.
The Yu family would claim that there have always been two young ladies in the Yu family. The eldest daughter was raised in the family since childhood, while the younger daughter was raised elsewhere for some special reasons.
Yu Zhizhi and Lin Zhizhong’s wedding date is coming soon, and 996 said that Lin’s mother is about to arrive in Beijing.
Lu Zhihuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Isn't it just playing the victim? Who wouldn't do that?
"Sister, this dream is fake, so there's no need to panic. But your crying reminds me of some past events."
She showed a bitter smile and said, "I have been wandering outside since I was young, and have experienced many hardships.
I can completely understand the nightmare my sister was talking about, because it is exactly what I experienced.
Zhihuan really envied her sister for being able to grow up under the care of her mother and be able to act coquettishly with her mother.
Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them. My sister's identity has not been made public, and even her wedding date has not been changed. What is she afraid of?"
Mother Yu looked at Lu Zhihuan with eyes full of heartache, muttering, "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run."
The person who took her biological daughter away was Zhizhi's biological mother.
