Chapter 152 Washing Hands and Cooking Soup for You
Chapter 152 Washing Hands and Cooking Soup for You
The eldest wife casually fiddled with the hairpin on her head and asked lightly, "Xiao Lingzi, where did you get that letter?"
When the eldest lady saw that Cai Lian and the young man were in love with each other, she had an idea in her mind and turned back to her room.
Xiao Lingzi quickly replied, "Madam, yesterday evening when I went out to buy something, I saw an old woman looking around at the gate of our house.
I went forward and asked, and found out that it was the letter that Concubine Yu had asked her to deliver.
The eldest wife nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what had happened.
She suddenly lost the anger she had when she first saw the letter, and thought that this letter might be able to solve her current troubles.
She originally planned to destroy the letter, but then she thought, wouldn't it be more interesting if she let the young man imitate Yu Fujin's handwriting and replace the original with another one?
However, a better idea suddenly occurred to her.
It would be better to personally deliver this letter to the servants of the Lin Mansion and let them see the letter from Mrs. Yu with their own eyes. Perhaps in this way, the servants of the Lin Mansion will go home obediently.
The eldest wife whispered to Xiao Lingzi, "Wait for me outside. Accompany me to Cuizhu Garden."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the inner room, ready to change into a new set of clothes.
A moment later, the eldest wife walked out of the room wearing a gorgeous purple Manchu dress with a faint smile on her face.
Xiao Lingzi held her arm and walked side by side with her, with light and leisurely steps, slowly walking towards Cuizhu Garden.
They walked along the winding path and finally arrived at Cuizhu Garden.
When the eldest wife entered Cuizhu Garden, Xiao Lingzi shouted at the door, "The eldest wife is here!"
His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the courtyard. Xiaoling and Xiaowan immediately came out to greet the eldest lady.
"Good luck to the Madam, your servant pays his respects to you!"
Xiaoling and the others knelt humbly on the ground, their backs straight, their voices clear and loud, their movements standard, and they paid their respects to the First Lady respectfully.
"Everyone, get up and come into the house to talk!"
The eldest lady glanced at Xiaoling and others who were kneeling on the ground, said something indifferent, and then turned and walked into the house.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoling and others hurriedly stood up and followed the eldest lady into the house.
The eldest wife came to the main hall of Cuizhu Garden and sat down. Then she looked at Xiaoling beside her and said, "Xiaoling, go and invite the guests from the Lin Mansion."
Her tone was always cold, without a trace of emotion.
"Yes, Madam."
Xiaoling responded quickly, then turned and left, and soon brought Lin Zhong and others over.
Lin Zhong and his son have been staying in the palace for some time and have a general understanding of the situation there.
This eldest wife is the prince's legitimate wife in name only. Not only that, she is also the Princess Rong who was personally appointed by the emperor.
So he also paid his respects to the lady of the house with great respect.
The eldest wife asked Xiao Lingzi to pass the letter to Lin Zhong and said, "You will know after reading this!"
Lin Zhong took it in a hurry and saw that there was no signature on the envelope, but there was a small seal on the seal with a small jade character faintly visible on it.
He was delighted and quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter and unfolded it to take a look.
It turned out that Daiyu accidentally entered a passage and then met a mother-in-law, who hired a carriage to take her to the grassland.
The signature reads "Daiyu".
After Lin Zhong finished reading the letter, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "That's great... That's great..."
He read the letter carefully again, fearing that he had read it wrong in his old eyes.
He wanted to confirm whether the letter was written by the eldest lady herself, so he said to Xiaoling, "Go find your Lady Yu's calligraphy and bring it to me!"
After hearing this, Xiaoling hurriedly turned around to look for Lin Daiyu's calligraphy.
After a while, she came in with some of Lin Daiyu's poems and letters.
Lin Zhong took it and looked at it, then compared the handwriting and found that it was indeed written by Lin Daiyu herself.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It really is the young lady's handwriting. Now I feel relieved!"
The eldest lady's original intention was to let them leave on their own, but after reading Daiyu's letter, Lin Zhong wanted to wait for him to come back here.
He held the letter and murmured to himself, "I'm glad the young lady is safe!"
The eldest wife could only smile and say, "The prince has not been back for such a long time. I want to write a few letters and have them delivered to you. I wonder if you have any letters to take with you?"
Xiaoling thought to herself, some time ago, the young lady had someone deliver a letter to the prince, I can ask that person to deliver it to the prince.
But Lin Zhong only wanted to see the eldest lady as soon as possible. When he heard the first lady say to send a letter, he quickly said that he would write a letter and asked her to send someone to deliver it to the eldest lady.
Seeing that her purpose had been achieved, the eldest wife smiled and said, "You guys write first. When you're done, have Xiaoling send it to my room. I'll send someone to the grassland tomorrow."
"Madam, where have you been? I'm here to find you!"
When Cai Lian saw the eldest lady return to the room, she hurried to her side.
"He's gone. Is your hand okay?"
Seeing that Cailian's hand was swollen, the eldest lady hurried to the inner room to find a bottle of ointment.
"Madam..." Cailian's eyes were red.
"Don't move, it will be bad if it gets infected."
I saw the eldest lady gently spread a little ointment with a small stick, and then slowly applied it on the back of Cailian's hand.
Cai Lian wanted to say something, but she choked up and said nothing.
“Let someone else take care of me these few days, you take good care of me.
Also, although you are a maid, you are also the maid of my Princess Rong, and you are more than qualified to be a match for that young master.
Don’t feel inferior to others!”
The eldest lady repeatedly told her not to go into the water and urged her to go back to her room to rest.
Cai Lian had no choice but to leave with gratitude.
The eldest wife thought to herself: Humph, you went to the grassland without anyone knowing, you are really something, Jade Wife!
Let me see if you are still so lucky this time!
That night, the dream appeared in the mind of the eldest wife again. This time, she could not lose. There were no losers in their Tonggiya clan.
Let you feel comfortable for a few days, and we'll see what happens!
As the eldest lady was thinking, she changed her clothes and fell asleep.
Because a few days ago, spies reported that the Huns were organizing a team and might launch a larger-scale attack one day, the prince came back very late tonight.
"Your Majesty, please wash your hands with hot water!"
Daiyu put the boiled water on the ground. When the prince entered the inner room, he saw a few side dishes and hot water on the table.
"That's great, Yu'er! It's true that having a wife is a blessing for a husband! What more could a husband ask for?" the prince sighed.
"Your Majesty, I'm really willing to wash my hands and cook soup for you!"
Daiyu said this shyly, and then, like a magic trick, she produced a pot of old wine.
"Your Highness, let's drink and enjoy the moment. Yu'er is welcoming you, so how about we have a few drinks?"
"What, my Yu'er can drink?"
The prince discovered that Daiyu was like a tarot card with a variety of changes, full of surprises.
"Then I will risk my life to accompany you, sir. However, I can only drink with you for a few drinks, because the Huns may attack at any time!"
The prince said this with a smile and came to Daiyu.
"Do you miss me when I'm not by your side?" The prince blinked and looked at Daiyu with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, guess..." Daiyu knew that the prince was eager for her to say that he missed her, but she just didn't tell him.
Daiyu closed her eyes and said mischievously, "I don't want to do that at all!"
