Chapter 189 Am I Not a Caged Bird?
Chapter 189 Am I Not a Caged Bird?
Xiangyun lay quietly on the bed, her eyes slightly closed and her brows slightly furrowed.
I felt as if all the strength had been drained from my body. It felt extremely heavy, especially my legs, which were extremely sore at the moment.
"Zijuan, what time is it now?"
After Xiangyun finished speaking, she slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the window in the distance.
Through the carved window lattice, she saw an extremely exquisite birdcage hanging under the corridor.
Inside the cage, there is a parrot with emerald green fur and long feathers. It is tilting its head and looking around curiously with its round little eyes. It looks so cute.
Xiangyun looked at the parrot and couldn't help wanting to tease it.
So, she struggled to move her slightly fat body, and got out of bed slowly and clumsily.
Zijuan wanted to say that it was noon, but when she saw Xiangyun's behavior, she was shocked.
He quickly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Miss Yun, where are you going? We are now in the Yu Mansion, so we must be careful and cautious in everything we do."
Xiangyun turned around, smiled at Zijuan, and said softly, "Zijuan, I just wanted to go out and take a look at the parrot."
After saying that, she walked down the corridor.
Xiangyun stopped in front of the birdcage.
She first carefully stretched out a hand, slowly reached into the cage, and tried to tease the parrot.
Oddly enough, the parrot seemed to understand human nature. It first sighed deeply, then imitated a human voice and said in a clear and melodious voice, "Hello!"
When Xiangyun heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.
After finally stopping her laughter, she quickly replied to the parrot: "Hello!"
However, what Xiangyun did not expect was that as soon as she finished speaking, the parrot flapped its wings excitedly.
It flew up and down in the cage, and kept shouting: "Hello..."
"Auntie, this is the parrot that my aunt raised before she got married. This house and the parrot were where my aunt lived when she was still married!"
A little girl saw that Xiangyun liked the parrot, and hurried over to talk to her in a flattering manner.
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Xiangyun couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes attracted by the carved beams and painted rafters of the house.
However, when Xiangyun inadvertently raised her head, she saw the low rooms in the distance.
They form a sharp contrast with the surrounding imposing buildings.
For some reason, those low rooms in the same mansion look so out of place.
The little girl standing beside seemed to notice where Xiangyun was looking, and she also looked in that direction.
Then he smiled and explained, "Look, Auntie, that's where we servants live. Although it's small, it's a shelter that can protect us from the wind and rain!"
At this moment, the parrot in the cage suddenly shouted: "Hello, hello..."
The little girl looked at it and seemed to remember something, and hurried to get some bird food.
But when she gently opened the birdcage to feed the parrot, the parrot accidentally flew out of the cage.
"Auntie, please go inside and rest.
I have to ask my friend to call the parrot over quickly.
If I lose it, I'll be scolded!" The little girl hurriedly left Xiangyun and quickly went forward to find someone to catch the parrot.
I saw the parrot flying in the sky like an eagle spreading its wings, looking very happy.
It sometimes landed on the roof, sometimes flew to the branches in the yard, and sometimes circled above Xiangyun's head.
Xiangyun kept waving in the direction of the parrot and shouted anxiously, "Parrot, come back quickly, come back quickly!"
Zijuan and Xueyan were in the house, and they kept watching Xiangyun's movements outside.
When they saw the parrot fly away, Xiangyun was so anxious that she was spinning around on the ground. Fearing that Xiangyun would hurt the baby in her belly, the two of them hurried out.
"Miss Yun, Miss Yun, the little girl asked the servant to call it. Let's go back to the house and rest!" Zijuan took Xiangyun's hand and was about to take her back to the room.
Who knew that at this moment, the parrot in the sky suddenly disappeared. Xiangyun quickly raised her head and looked around, and it turned out that it flew towards the servants' rooms.
There is a towering tree over there. Maybe the parrot wants to stay there for a while.
Xiangyun hurriedly struggled to break free from Zijuan's arms, slowly stood up, and walked forward with a staggering gait.
"Miss, Miss, please wait for us. We didn't say we couldn't let you go see the parrot!" Zijuan was both angry and amused. She thought that since Xiangyun liked it, why not let Master Yu give the parrot to her.
Unexpectedly, Xueyan beside her suddenly burst into laughter. She looked at Zijuan and said softly, "Sister, you forgot. In the past, you were called Parrot!"
Zijuan suddenly remembered those days - the time when Miss Lin came into the mansion and she was changed from a parrot to Zijuan.
She has been with Daiyu for so many years, and in the blink of an eye, Xiangyun is about to become a mother.
But Zijuan had no time to think about these things. She saw Xiangyun, who was pregnant but still trying her best to chase the parrot.
She kept shouting something. Zijuan was afraid that something had happened to her, so she hurried over with Xueyan.
Xiangyun was afraid that the parrot had disappeared, so she thought of walking in the direction of the parrot so that when the servants came, she could call it back into the cage.
So she followed the parrot to the servants' house.
"Parrot, come down quickly, come down quickly!" Xiangyun shouted anxiously and kept waving at the parrot. Unexpectedly, the parrot landed calmly on the windowsill of a room.
Xiangyun thought, should I catch it?
She tiptoed quickly towards the windowsill, holding her breath, not daring to breathe. She was almost there, almost there...
She is about to catch the parrot!
"Let me out of here! How could I like you?" A man's voice was heard shouting from the house.
Xiangyun was so eager to catch the parrot that she was startled by the sudden sound.
It was with this shrill sound that the parrot flew away again!
Xiangyun was very annoyed and wanted to see which two servants were quarreling and scared away the parrot.
She walked gently to the window, and through the thin window paper, she saw everything she shouldn't have seen.
I saw a man inside struggling with a girl.
The little girl was only wearing a pine green bellyband and pink pajamas, with her hair disheveled.
The man was shirtless and wearing pajamas.
It was obvious that he wanted to leave, but the girl held him tightly.
That’s right, the man is Master Yu.
That girl was Xiu'er.
They were fighting, and no one thought that Xiangyun would see all this.
Xiangyun had already forgotten the parrot. She stood there in a daze, stupidly, and motionless like a puppet.
"The baby in my belly is such a joke!" Xiangyun muttered to herself, tears streaming down her face like beads falling off a string.
