The King's Concubine_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(115)

Yao Niang's chopsticks fell off, she was surprised and happy.

She was happy that she could see her sister, but she was surprised that Yan Jie'er made such a scene. Although she didn't hear how she was dealt with afterwards, she expected that the end would not be good with the means of King Jin.

She had a grudge in her heart, so she just pretended not to know. But now that the Yao family came to her, how should she explain? She was not afraid of the Yao family, but her sister——

She couldn't help but look at King Jin. King Jin was very happy, but he patted her hand to comfort her: "Why are you panicking? I'm here."

Suddenly, she was no longer panicked.

Chapter 92

It snowed for three days in a row, and it finally cleared up these two days. The warm sunshine sprinkled on the snow on the roofs, treetops, and roadsides. Instead of making people feel warm, they felt chilly.

It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts. There has been this saying since ancient times.

Yao Chengben didn't want to go out on such a day, but his mother insisted on coming to find Yan Jie'er. He was worried about his mother going out alone and walking such a long way, so he had to follow her.

Hui Niang also just knew about Yan Jie'er's disappearance before, and actually came to find her sister Yao Niang.

Li had been silent before, and said she didn't know in front of Yao Chengdu. After Yan Jie'er disappeared, they didn't dare to look for her openly, so the family could only look for her secretly. The effort was not in vain, but she still couldn't find her. There was no way before the date agreed with the man's family, Yao Cheng came to cancel the marriage.

The Yao family also paid five taels of silver for this matter, not to mention how unlucky it was.

Yao Cheng was busy with the affairs of the government office every day, and Hui Niang took care of the housework and took care of the two children. The two gradually forgot about it. But Li, as a mother, acted as if nothing had happened. Hui Niang also secretly told Yao Cheng that your mother must know where your sister is, maybe she was sent to her aunt.

Yao Cheng has a cousin who lives in the countryside. When Yao Cheng's father was still alive, the two families were very close. Even now, they still visit each other during festivals. Li used to threaten Yan Jie'er, saying that she would send her to the countryside, so Hui Niang thought so.

But she never expected that Yan Jie'er would go to Jin Wangfu to find Yao Niang.

In fact, Li had been a little restless a few days ago, and Hui Niang didn't know why. These two days, she finally couldn't help it and told Yao Cheng that she dreamed that Yan Jie'er was living on the streets with no food to eat, no place to live, and was bullied.

Seeing that Li had let the cat out of the bag, she simply didn't cover it up and proposed to go and see if Yan Jie'er was in Jin Wangfu. In fact, she didn't need to want to go, Hui Niang also wanted to go, she knew her sister's character, Yan Jie'er was a thief, Yaoyao was no match for her.

So there was this long journey.

Two women couldn't be allowed to go on the road, so Yao Cheng had to accompany them. The adults in the family had left, and the two children couldn't be left behind. In this way, the Yao family of five took a mule cart and drove for a day before arriving at the gate of the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

This was the first time that Li had seen such a magnificent mansion. What was the mansion of Mr. He? It was nothing compared to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

She didn't know that the mansion could not be built casually. The door face, the steps, and even the copper nails on the gate had standard specifications. Ordinary people who dared to overstep the boundaries would be confiscated and beheaded. So let alone Mr. He's house, there were probably few houses in the entire Daqian Dynasty that could compare with the dignified Prince's Mansion except for the imperial palace.

Yao Cheng had seen the world after all. He dealt with the patrolling soldiers at the street corner and parked the mule cart at the east corner gate.

After hearing the words of the gatekeeper, he drove the car to the back door again.

Li sat in the car and complained that the rules of the Prince's Mansion were too big. No door was allowed to enter. It was fine if you couldn't enter the main door, but you couldn't enter the side door either. You had to throw people to the back door.

Yao Cheng was afraid that his mother would cause trouble when she arrived at the palace, so he patiently explained the rules to her. Even the royal family and relatives could not enter the main gate of the palace, let alone ordinary people like them.

When they arrived at the back door, it was closed because it was cold.

Yao Cheng knocked dozens of times before the door opened from the inside. A woman in a dark green coat stood inside, looking at them impatiently with the corner of her eyes: "What's the matter?"

Yao Cheng smiled and was about to speak when Li next to him shouted.

"I'm looking for Sister Yan, I'm her mother."

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the woman guarding the palace is also very different from others. The women have to distinguish between each other, and the woman guarding the door knew that Li was a country woman as soon as she saw her clothes. Don't look at the clothes that seem to be made of good material, just look at her yellow teeth.

"There is no one named Yan Jie'er in our mansion. You've found the wrong place." As she said this, she was about to close the door, but Li pushed the door to stop her.

"How could there be no one? Where is my Yan Jie'er?" Li had had nightmares for several days in a row. Because of this dream, she felt uneasy. Now she heard that her daughter was not in the palace, and she was anxious.

"How do I know where your daughter is! Go, go, don't stand here and block the way. If you don't leave, I will call someone."

Li wanted to argue with this woman, but was stopped by Yao Cheng. He said to the woman guarding the door: "Madam, we are looking for someone named Su Yao Niang. She is the wet nurse of the little princess in the palace."

The woman's face suddenly became suspicious and asked: "Who are you to Madam Su?"

"We are her sister and brother-in-law."

"Then wait a minute, I'll go in and tell you." The woman looked at them again before closing the door and going inside.

Li watched the door close in front of her, and was about to curse, when she suddenly remembered what the woman had said.

"Madam? Could it be that Su Yao Niang has really become rich? The prince actually gave her a wife? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect this girl to have such a blessing. Since she is the prince's concubine, my sister Yan must be in the palace. She must not treat my sister Yan as a little girl, or I will definitely not forgive her when the time comes."

Hui Niang has been sitting in the car taking care of the two children. When she heard this, she ignored her. She was very anxious in her heart. No one knew better than her what Li's mother and daughter were planning.

Yan Jie'er harmed Yao Yao. How could Yao Yao stay in the palace? Needless to say, Yan Jie'er must have used a handle to threaten her. And Yao Yao's biggest handle is that she didn't marry at all, but was raped by someone before giving birth to Xiaobao.

Neither of them is perfect, but being married and being raped and having a child cannot be treated the same.

Whenever Hui Niang thought of her sister being manipulated by Yan Jie'er, she would feel angry. She was even more afraid that Yan Jie'er was stupid and bad, and would tell others about the incident. How would Yao Yao face people then?

At this time, the door opened from the inside, and several maids with smiling faces came out, and several servants worked together to remove the threshold.

"Please follow me in. Madam Su is very happy to know that you two are here."

The mule cart went all the way inside, and stopped after walking for a while.

The Yao family got off the car and followed the maid who led the way. There was another world. There were carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, painted with gold and colorful paintings, and everything was extremely luxurious. Li, who was used to being superficial, was amazed again and again, and all the servants in the palace looked at her.

Yao Cheng was angry and embarrassed. He wanted to scold her but felt it was not the right place. He could only suppress his anger and wink at Li.

But Li couldn't take care of him now, her eyes were not enough.

When they arrived at the guest house, after the three sat down, someone served tea.

A little girl came in and said, "Madam is not in good health now, it is not easy for her to go out, please ask Madam Yao and the two young masters to meet her."

A few more maids came up to help hold Hong Ge'er and Ming Ge'er, and surrounded Hui Niang to go out. Li wanted to follow, but was stopped by someone, saying that Madam had ordered people to prepare a banquet, please wait for a while.

The servants in this palace were very polite and smiling, so Li couldn't act like a shrew. In addition, Yao Cheng gave her a warning look, and she sat down listlessly.

"What are you showing off? She is just a lady, not inlaid with gold!" Li said angrily.

Yao Cheng was speechless. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He lowered his voice and said, "Mother, can you control your mouth? Now Yao Niang is not the same as before. You must kill your son before you are satisfied!"

"How can I harm you? She doesn't respect her elders, and I don't even have the right to say a few words!"

"Last time Yao Niang left home in anger, the county magistrate originally promoted me to be a police chief, but it was inexplicably ruined. Now I come to this palace, knowing that we are here, but I only see Hui Niang and the two children, avoiding us, can't you see anything?!"

Li stammered for a long time before saying, "She is so capable, and the prince listens to her so much?!"

Yao Cheng did not speak.

Li said again, "Why is Su Yao Niang so capable? My sister Yan is definitely better than her." As she said that, she glanced at Yao Cheng and said, "You, you will still have to enjoy the blessing of your sister in the future."

Yao Cheng was so angry that he had nothing to say.

Hui Niang and her two children took the warm sedan chair and went all the way to Rongxiyuan.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Yao Niang standing in the porch in front of the main house. Yao Niang wanted to go down the steps to greet them, but was stopped by Hongchou beside them.

"Madam, don't panic."

Yao Niang slowed down her pace, and Hui Niang also got off the sedan chair at this time.

"Sister!"

"Yaoyao." Hui Niang's eyes swept back and forth on her sister, and her heart finally settled down.

The two walked in together, while Hong Ge'er and Ming Ge'er followed behind with the maid holding them. They went to the West Warm Pavilion, which had already been cleaned up and restored to its previous neatness.

The King of Jin had already left, and only Xiaobao was still sitting on the big kang.

As soon as Hui Niang walked in, she saw Xiaobao, her eyes lit up, and she walked up.
