Reborn Lady - Chapter 314
Wen Ruyue advised her aunt not to be sad, and Yin Hui also stepped forward in a timely manner. Together with Wen Ruyue, they helped her mother-in-law to sit on a chair.
Concubine Shun had a lot to ask her niece. Her son’s temper was that no matter how big the matter was, he could say it simply and without a wave, but her niece had been abused by Xue Huan for five years, and Concubine Shun wanted to know the details.
“You two sit down first, and I’ll take Ruyue inside to wash her face.”
Soon, Concubine Shun took Wen Ruyue’s hand, spoke to her son and daughter-in-law, and they proceeded to the inner hall.
While they were not there, Yin Hui breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the potted flowers placed in the hall by her mother-in-law, and met Wei Luo’s eyes again.
There were maids from Xianfu Hall serving her, and Yin Hui couldn’t talk about her mother-in-law, so she asked Wei Luo, “Why did you let Ning Ning go to the studying hall?”
Ning Ning was still a child no matter how good she was; how could she not be mischievous?
Wei Luo did not explain.
With Xiao Heng there, Xiao Ning wouldn’t be too out of line, and she could still see the world when she went to the studying hall, instead of watching her cousin and grandmother cry with her parents.
The couple sat for an hour, during which Yin Hui stood up and went to a few pots of flowers for a walk to exercise her muscles and bones, while Wei Luo just sat still.
It had to be said that men who practiced martial arts were powerful.
Concubine Shun and Wen Ruyue finally came out; their faces had been washed, only two pairs of eyes were red and swollen from crying, standing together they looked more like a mother and daughter.
Concubine Shun, who knew about her niece’s experience, was so distressed that she wanted to leave her niece in the palace to take good care of her. Still, her niece had grown up, married and widowed, so it was not suitable for her to stay by her side.
Concubine Shun could only entrust her niece to her son and daughter-in-law, and asked the couple to take good care of her.
Wei Luo reassured, “Mother, don’t worry; this is our duty.”
Yin Hui smiled and added, “Yes, the Prince is usually busy working, and having her around gives me someone to talk to.”
“Don’t worry, I will persuade my niece not to think of having a relationship with her cousin. Just let me know if there’s anything lacking.. Let us choose a good husband for her in the future.”
That was Concubine Shun’s confession to her son and daughter-in-law, and it was also her promise to her niece. She wanted her niece to know that with them, she didn’t have to worry about anything in the future.
Wen Ruyue shed tears again and said goodbye to her aunt reluctantly.
Wei Luo went to the studying hall to bring Xiao Ning back, and the three left the palace smoothly.
—————-
Wei Luo returned to Beijing the day before, and it was still a rainy day. No one noticed that he brought back a cousin, including the Eldest Princess’ family and Prince Chu’s family, who were on the same street.
Xiao Heng and Xiao Xun were studying in the studying hall, and they didn’t share their family affairs with their cousins. But Xiao Ning had been playing there for a while and mentioned the new cousin.
In the afternoon, Er Lang and Si Lang returned to the Chu Mansion. Er Lang patronized eating, and Si Lang mentioned the matter of the aunt.
“Aunt?” Ji Xianxian raised her eyebrows, very interested in the news brought back by the concubine born son, “Which cousin?”
Si Lang said, “I heard from Xiao Ning that she went to Xianfu Hall with the Third Uncle and Third Aunt to the palace to greet Concubine Shun.”
Ji Xianxian immediately understood that the cousin was Concubine Shun’s only niece Wen Ruyue, her old acquaintance. All four members of the Wen family died in prison. After her father-in-law ascended the throne, he said that Wen Cheng was an upright man who would rather go to jail than join those criminals. So he gave him a title, but the man had died. As for Wen Ruyue, it was said that she lived in Shaoxing with her husband. Was that visit to Beijing purely to visit her relatives, or did something happen that made her ask for help?
For a moment, Ji Xianxian felt as if a few ants had crawled in. She wished she could go to the Shu Mansion to ask Yin Hui for clarification. It was a pity that it was getting dark. Going at that time would make the intention of inquiring too obvious.
Ji Xianxian decided to go the next morning and ask naturally after seeing Wen Ruyue.
In the palace, Emperor Yongping knew that Concubine Shun’s niece Wen Ruyue had entered the palace that day. Speaking of which, it was he who suggested Wen Ruyue could enter the Yan Palace. At that time, her mother had just died, and Wen Cheng had to prepare for the Imperial Examination, so he was not able to take care of his young daughter wholeheartedly. Mrs. Wen was too timid to make a request to him, but Emperor Yongping could see her intentions and took the initiative to ask someone to take Wen Ruyue over. As expected, she was very happy, and she was around her niece every day.
Emperor Yongping liked Wen Ruyue purely because of his love for his family. Because of the Wen family, he also regarded Wen Ruyue as a girl from a relative’s family. Xue Huan’s abuse was enough to make him angry. Not to mention that Xue Huan was actually venting his dissatisfaction with him by abusing Wen Ruyue.
Xue Huan was destined to die early, otherwise, he would make him die.
In the evening, Emperor Yongping came to Xianfu Mansion.
Concubine Shun’s eyes were still swollen, and her spirit was not very good. She looked pitiful but had to cheer up to entertain her husband. Emperor Yongping sat on the couch, called her to his side, and first inquired about Wen Ruyue’s situation.
Concubine Shun had explained it all, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time. Emperor Yongping hugged her into his arms, patted her on the shoulder lightly, thought for a moment, and said, “I know you feel sorry for Ruyue, but now she is alone, and it is uncomfortable to live with the Third Son all the time. Why don’t you accept her as an adopted daughter? I will grant her the title of a princess. If she does not want to marry again, then I will give her a mansion. In the future, she can marry if she wants to.”
The tragic death of Wen Cheng’s family was Wei Ang’s fault, but he was also involved. The deceased was dead, so he treated Wen Cheng’s daughter kindly, which was considered compensation.
