Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

After leaving Rong Mansion.

It's getting late.

Xie Yunchu sighed deeply. Chujiu drove the carriage and asked, "Master, shall we return to the Duke's Mansion, or..."

"Return to the Duke's Mansion."

"Yes."

The bells of the carriage jingled and the horses' hooves clattered. Xie Yunchu frowned, thinking about the words his master had called him to say today.

Why would the master come to care about his and A Yao’s affairs?

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the master might know what A Yao felt about him, so he was trying to find a way to avoid this from happening.

Thinking of this possibility, Xie Yunchu couldn't stop pouring tea and drinking water until he returned to the Duke's Mansion and saw his father, mother and two sisters having dinner.

"Big brother is back." The second sister Xie Ying stood up with a smile on her face. She was wearing a light yellow dress, like a fluttering butterfly.

The fourth child, Xie Jiaojiao, dressed in orange, ran directly towards Xie Yunchu, "Big brother."

Xie Yunchu handed the little rabbit ornament he had bought to Xie Jiaojiao, "This is for Jiaojiao."

Xie Jiaojiao was so happy that she almost jumped up, but she held back in order to maintain the ladylike demeanor her mother had prescribed.

Xie Ying asked, "Brother, why does Fourth Sister have it, but I don't—" Before he could even say the word "yes", Xie Yunchu had already handed him a jade pendant, "This is for Big Sister."

Ou Yurong added: "They all have it, but I, as a mother, don't have it..."

Xie Yunchu took out another brocade box from his sleeve pocket as if he had conjured a magic weapon. "This is for my mother."

"And my father's."

The gift given to Ou Yurong was a gold hairpin.

The gift given to Xie Yanheng was a jade ring.

"Oh, we all have them." Ou Yurong couldn't stop smiling.

Xie Yunchu discovered that not only his mother, but also his father and two younger sisters were all very happy.

The last item was a wolf-hair brush that he gave to his second brother Xie Yunce. "Where is my second brother?"

"He hasn't returned from the school yet, but he will definitely be happy to know your kindness." Xie Yanheng said.

The eldest son is not stupid either.

If I had used this energy to please Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, why would I still be secretly heartbroken?

If he hadn't asked Chujiu, he wouldn't have known that his son wanted to serve the king.

Although Yun Chu is the eldest son in the family.

He shouldn't marry into the family, but Yun Chu likes Xiao Yao, and as a father, he still hopes that he can be happy.

What's more, this servant is not just an ordinary son-in-law, his child will become the crown prince in the future.

Therefore, many families hope that their sons will be chosen to serve the king.

"Big brother, isn't your sister here with you today?" Xie Jiaojiao asked, tilting her head.

It’s okay not to ask.

As soon as he asked this question, Xie Yunchu felt uncomfortable. The time for selecting a concubine was getting closer, but he didn't know what A Yao was thinking.

He shook his head slightly, "Your Highness is very busy now and doesn't have that much time to come to our house."

Xie Ying said, "It's being rumored that His Highness is selecting a concubine. Has your brother sent the list?"

Ou Yurong said: "Your elder brother sent it up a long time ago."

Xie Jiaojiao asked: "If big brother can become the emperor's servant, then he will be the future queen?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Yanheng interrupted Xie Ying, afraid that she would say something else.

Xie Jiaojiao hid in her mother's arms, "Then I won't say anything nonsense, I just want Your Highness to become my sister-in-law."

Xie Ying smiled.

The eldest brother is the emperor's servant, and the Crown Princess is not his sister-in-law, she is the crown prince and the future empress.

It’s the eldest brother who is marrying His Highness.

She had read a lot of history books, and other families were eager to send their daughters to the palace to become concubines in order to seek family honor.

And now, everyone hopes that someone can become the emperor's servant and make the same leap into the dragon gate.

I have to say that the current emperor is really a generous person.

Which family would dare to pass on the family property to their daughter? Not to mention passing it on, it would be impossible for her to even inherit any of the property.

"No need to say," If there is fate... Ou Yurong didn't know, anyway, the eldest brother lived with Xiao Yao in Jinrong Palace until he was ten years old.

Their feelings are indeed different from those of others.

Whatever the outcome is, it is all up to them.

Xie Yanheng stood up and said to Xie Yunchu, "Come in with your father."

"It's father."

Xie Yunchu bowed to Ou Yurong and said, "Mother, I will be back soon."

"Go." Ou Yurong waved her hand. She saw that her son seemed to have lost weight recently.

Xie Yunchu and his son went to the study.

He closed the door.

His father was holding a lamp when he realized it was already dark.

Soon the candlelight was bright, and Xie Yanheng asked Xie Yunchu to sit on the kang, "It's been a long time since we played chess together."

"Yes." I thought it was something big, but it turned out to be playing chess.

Xie Yanheng said: "In my entire life, I have never played chess better than the Emperor and your Master Rong."

Xie Yunchu didn't know what to say and smiled awkwardly. He had never played chess with these people.

I don't even know why my father said these things.

The hand rises and the piece falls.

Xie Yanheng, playing the black chess piece, made the first move, "Our Xie family has been around for hundreds of years, and you are the eldest son of the eldest branch."

Xie Yunchu listened silently.

"As for choosing a concubine for the emperor, your father respects your wish, but if you have to choose, it must be for the position of the emperor's husband, not an ordinary concubine for the emperor." What's the difference between that and being a concubine?

He still preferred that he return to the Duke's Mansion and pass on the title of Duke from generation to generation.

Passed down from generation to generation, this is what his father said to him when he died.

In a blink of an eye, his father had been dead for seven or eight years, and he succeeded to the throne as Duke.

Xie Yunchu paused holding the white chess piece. Let alone being the emperor's husband, he would be willing to be A Yao's servant.

But will A Yao agree?

Xie Yunchu did not answer.

In three games, Xie Yanheng lost all three times, and he knew his son's attitude better in his heart.

"He has fallen in love with the Crown Princess." Xie Yanheng continued to play chess and took the lead.

Xie Yunchu said "hmm".

Looking at his appearance, he is not much different from Rong Xun's indifferent and cold look.

If this son was not born when he went looking for medicine and was not raised by him personally, he would have doubted whether he was his own son.

The personalities are not similar at all.

That's not right. With his looks, and the strengths of both him and Yurong, it's easy to recognize that he is his biological son.

Thinking too far ahead.

Xie Yanheng sighed: "Then what are you going to do?"

"do not know."

After a pause, Xie Yunchu didn't intend to hide it from his father, so he said: "Today, I asked Master for help, and he said something that I didn't quite understand."

He said that if he went to ask Rong Xun himself, his father would not guess some secrets that should not be known to more people.

"Oh, what did he say?"

Xie Yunchu naturally told him about Rong Xun's fortune-telling for him and A Yao, and how he taught him how to pursue A Yao.

"It's just that Master seemed to hesitate several times, and my son didn't understand what he wanted me to do."

Xie Yanheng laughed out loud, "He's been single all his life, how can you ask him to teach you about love between men and women? Besides, he's a cultivator, he's different from the rest of us."

"But my son was taught by the master. Although he has not formally become his disciple, he has been influenced by him..."
