Chapter 144 The Wrong Letter
Chapter 144 The Wrong Letter
Daiyu slept in the open air and traveled for several days.
Around the beginning of November, she saw that the road ahead was gradually becoming empty, with fewer and fewer pedestrians, and the weather was becoming increasingly cold and biting.
She thought to herself, "So, it seems we're almost at the border, right?"
So she quietly asked the coachman, "Master, are we nearing the border?"
The groom replied, "My lady, in my opinion, it will only take a few hours.
Once we reach the military camp and see that you are safe, I will return immediately."
Daiyu nodded and thought, I will finally meet the prince.
The groom asked a few passers-by about the location of the military camp at the border, and they rushed towards the camp.
Daiyu looked at the increasingly empty grassland and felt delighted.
"The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless. The wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep!"
That was the prince's promise!
Go to the northern border with her to race horses, and go to the southern province to see the small bridges and flowing water.
Now I have come here alone, and after going through all the hardships along the way, I just want to be with the prince.
Not long after, a flag appeared in front of them, with a big "Han" character written in traditional Chinese characters on it.
Then, a large group of green tents appeared in the field of vision. These tents were neatly arranged together, and there was open space inside, which might be a place for training.
Could this be the military camp where the prince is?
The groom paid some silver and wanted to ask the guards at the door, but they just looked at everything in front of them with expressionless faces and still stood at the door of the tent like a solid wall.
Just then, Daiyu looked out the door and saw an acquaintance.
That’s right, he is Xiao Luzi.
At this moment, Xiao Luzi was wearing armor and carrying a sword, patrolling everywhere majestically.
Daiyu wanted to call him over directly, but then she remembered that women were not allowed to enter the military camp.
She gave the coachman a few taels of silver, and the coachman happily took the money and wanted to help her think of a way to sneak in.
Daiyu declined his kindness, told him to return home safely, and asked him to take a letter to her mother-in-law.
After the coachman left, Daiyu found a secluded corner, changed into men's clothes, and then put her things in the bag given by her mother-in-law.
She waited quietly in that corner, hoping to enter the camp when the guards took over and take advantage of the chaos.
"Cailian, go to the darkroom and let Xiaoling out. Let her stay in our yard for a few days first.
Wait until all visible injuries are almost healed, then let her go back!"
The eldest wife looked at the chess pieces on the table thoughtfully.
“The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Yufujin, I'll spare you for now, and we'll see what happens!"
After Cailian left, the eldest wife smashed the gold-inlaid jade into pieces on the spot. She understood that she had to be ruthless to gain a foothold in this palace.
"Humph, I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace!
Yufujin, let's see who has the last laugh! "
Just then, footsteps were heard at the door and the butler walked in.
I saw him holding a letter in his hand with a smile on his face.
Walking closer, he bowed and said, "Reporting to the Grand Concubine, the prince has sent a letter!"
Upon hearing the news, the eldest wife smiled happily, but soon regained her composure.
She waved her hand, signaling the butler to bring the letter over.
The butler hurried forward and respectfully presented the letter with both hands.
After taking the letter, the eldest wife slowly opened the envelope.
However, when she saw the contents of the letter, her face instantly became gloomy and sparks of anger flashed in her eyes.
But she still forced herself to suppress her emotions so that the maids and the housekeeper would not notice anything unusual.
She tried to remain calm and continued reading the letter.
As time went on, her expression became uglier and uglier, and the anger in her heart grew more and more intense.
Seeing that the eldest lady's face was becoming increasingly ugly, the housekeeper and the maids all retreated.
The eldest wife closed her eyes, and the contents of the letter were like a knife stabbing into her heart.
What "Yu'er, hello..."
What is this "Even when the mountains are gone and the sky and earth are united, I will never break off my relationship with you!"
What is this "Love may end someday, but hatred will never end!"
What "Yu'er, meeting you is the blessing of my life!"
The eldest wife was so angry that she wanted to tear up the letter, but then she thought it would be better to put it in a secret place.
As if she had remembered something, she hurriedly called the butler over and asked, "Butler Gu, is this the only letter the prince wrote?"
"I'm reporting to the First Lady that there's another letter for the Jade Lady. I was just thinking of sending it to Cuizhu Garden."
After the butler finished speaking, he handed the letter to the first wife.
"You go down first, I will send a maid to deliver it to Concubine Yu later!" After saying this, the first concubine signaled the housekeeper to go down.
The first wife opened the letter and found out that the prince had got the wrong envelope. That one was for the Jade Wife, and this one was for herself.
The letter contained some high-sounding polite words, and politeness was evident in both words and deeds.
The eldest wife took out the letter again and compared the two letters.
Every word in that letter was addressed to "Yu'er", and all the words to herself were polite and official.
Forget it, let him be.
Just then, Cai Lian came back.
"Madam, as you instructed, let Xiaoling stay in the maid's room in our courtyard for a few days." Cai Lian whispered in the maid's ear.
“Well, let’s leave it like this for now.
Go outside the mansion and find a few people who are good at calligraphy. Remember, come quietly! " Cai Lian nodded and went out.
"Yu Fujin, whether you are the real Daiyu or the fake Daiyu, fighting with me will only lead to one outcome!"
The eldest wife thought viciously.
"Yun'er, you're back!" Master Yu was waiting at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning.
Xiangyun, with her hair in a homely bun and wearing loose clothes, walked down from the carriage with a happy look on her face.
Mr. Yu hurried forward and grabbed Xiangyun's hand, fearing that she would get hurt.
"Yun'er, slow down..." After saying this, Mr. Yu looked at Xiangyun with a smile on his face.
Zijuan and Xueyan followed behind. They felt comforted as they saw Xiangyun becoming happier and happier.
Mr. Yu carefully supported Xiangyun as he walked into the house, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
After entering the house, he ordered his servants to cover the chairs with soft cushions to ensure that Xiangyun would feel extremely comfortable when sitting down.
Then he called two clever little girls and a cook with excellent cooking skills.
Master Yu looked at Xiangyun with concern and said softly, "Yun'er, this is the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup I specially asked them to make. It tastes sweet and delicious. Come and try it!"
As he spoke, he gestured to the maid to bring the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup to Xiangyun.
After Xiangyun tasted the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, Master Yu carefully instructed the cook to prepare a few more of Xiangyun's favorite dishes, and all the flavors should be according to Xiangyun's preferences.
Zijuan and Xueyan tactfully returned to their rooms, leaving Xiangyun alone with Mr. Yu.
Xiangyun closed her eyes and leaned in Master Yu's arms.
Mr. Yu looked at Xiangyun's belly with a happy face, as if he heard the cry of a newborn baby.
He didn't expect that he would have a child at such an old age.
"Yun'er, as long as you and this child are safe and sound, I will guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and glory!"
Master Yu whispered softly in Xiangyun's ear.
Yes, everything is moving in the right direction.
