The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting
Chapter 35: My Aunt's Family
At exactly 12:00 p.m., the girl was trimming the excess leaves from a few branches of osmanthus that had bloomed perfectly, when she heard Qiu Xiu's message.
"Mother Liu is here."
She raised her eyes and saw the middle-aged woman push the door open, come closer, and bow with a smile.
"Mom, please sit down." Ruan Yuluan offered her seat in a gentle voice, and at the same time instructed, "Dong Yu, make some tea."
Dong Yu outside the door responded, and Mother Liu's lips moved a few times, somewhat puzzled. Then the girl said softly, "Speaking of which, I am a little embarrassed... There is one thing I want to ask for your help."
Wu Niangzi also contributed to Yuping's matter, so if there was anything she could do to help, Mama Liu would help her.
Seeing this, Madam Liu just said, "Madam, please feel free to speak."
A hint of sadness could not help but emerge between the girl's eyebrows.
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again... At this time last year, my mother was still with me." She didn't beat around the bush. One or two hypocritical words were enough to arouse people's sympathy. Any more would be counterproductive.
"A few days ago, I received a letter from my mother's aunt, along with some snacks..." The girl's fingertips gently brushed over the cakes wrapped in oil paper on the coffee table, and she sighed, "They are not expensive, and they don't have much money. In the letter, my aunt said that she hadn't seen me for a long time and wanted to see me..."
"I was thinking that Mid-Autumn Festival is a rare day for families to reunite. If I could meet my aunt... maybe I could feel a little comforted."
Upon hearing this, Mother Liu couldn't help but look a little hesitant.
It is actually against the rules for an unmarried girl to secretly meet outsiders, even if they are her biological mother's family members.
Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the girl.
She lowered her face, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her lips slightly pursed, and her silky black hair was tied into a loose bun. A strand of hair fell by her ear, setting off the smooth and shiny pearl earrings on her ears, showing a strange, gentle and hazy look.
Mother Liu couldn't help but think of what the mistress had hinted at before, that she wanted to find a marriage for the Fifth Lady that was of a higher status...
She gritted her teeth lightly, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly: "Fifth Lady just lost Concubine Lou, how could I, an old woman, be so unkind as to not let you meet your birth mother's family?"
"Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion day..." She lowered her voice and said solemnly, "Don't worry."
So Ruan Yuluan also gently curled her lips, handed the cakes and osmanthus flowers to Mother Liu, stood up personally, and sent Mother Liu out of the courtyard.
Only when she saw the figure disappear into the darkness from afar did she withdraw her gaze and turn back.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the banquet at the Ruan Mansion lasted until the evening of the 10:00 p.m. The young ladies all went back to rest, yawning, while the eldest master rested in the main courtyard for the first time. Aunt Xu knew that this was to give face to the legitimate wife, so she had a faint smile on her face and did not show any anger.
Compared with the young Ruan Yuxi, she is much more cunning.
Ruan Yuluan carried a lantern and walked along the path in the garden.
It looked like the road back to Guiyuexie, but in fact it was not. After passing through a round door, she turned in another direction and walked towards the west wing.
The night is dark. The nights in late autumn are always cold and chilly.
It was Qiuxiu who accompanied her. Qiuxiu was steady and generous, while Dongyu was young and lacked the ability to keep calm.
