Chapter 159 The Origin of Tan's Mother and Son
Chunyu Yi was thinking about the children and dragged Hua Xiaohan to Qingfu Garden.
The two walked into the main room and saw Xiao Xuan lying on the soft couch making trouble with four little children. Not only his clothes, but also his hair bun was torn out in a mess.
Xiao Bi raised her eyes and saw the two of them, and ran over with a smile.
"Muyan, look at Xiao Xiaowu, is he stupid?"
Before Chunyu Yi could say anything, Hua Xiaohan leaned into her ear and said, "Little Fifth Brother likes children so much. From now on..."
Chunyu Yi pinched her hard again: "Hanzhi, you have to take good care of Xiaohan. She has become bad after not seeing her for several months."
Xiao Xuan heard her voice and hurriedly shouted for help: "Chun Yu Xiaomu, come and help me quickly."
The three women were all amused by the situation in front of them, and walked over together.
Each of them picked up a little baby, leaving him with the fuss of grabbing Xiao Xuan's hair.
Xiao Xuan gently pulled Nao Nao's little hands, trying to save his hair.
The smile on Nao Nao's face was so sweet, but her little hands refused to relax at all.
"Little ancestor, please let me beg you, okay? If you continue to pull me like this, your fifth uncle will become bald."
Xiao Bi patted Lalan in her arms and said with a smile: "Three little troubles, it doesn't matter if your fifth uncle wants to meet you as a gift, if it's missing, we'll continue to catch you!"
Xiao Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wailed: "Xiao Xiaojiu, you used to punish me like this when I was young, and now your son still treats me like this, and he actually has the nerve to open his mouth."
Xiao Bi said to Chunyu Yi: "Muyan, how much gift did fifth brother give you when he proposed marriage to you?"
Chunyu Yi blushed and said: "Although we have made an appointment to get married, we haven't had time to return to Wei Jing yet, so..."
Xiao Bi chuckled and said: "Xiao Xiaowu, you also said that the third aunt presided over your engagement ceremony. Now the lie has been exposed, right?"
"Xiao Xiaojiu, where did you come from with so much nonsense? Why don't you coax your son away quickly!"
Xiao Beicai ignored him and continued: "My fifth brother said at the beginning that the reason why he did not want to marry the noble daughter of Wei Jing was because he was reluctant to spend money.
For a girl like Muyan, we can’t do without a small gift.”
Xiao Xuan really can't stand her.
"Xiao Xiaojiu, whose family do you belong to?"
"Shangguan Nanxiao is the lord of Ruoshui City, so of course he must side with Miss Chunyu."
Xiao Xuan stood up with Nao Nao in his arms and said angrily: "Xiao Xiaojiu, your mind is really smaller than a needle's nose. Isn't it just a word, but you still hold a grudge!"
Chunyu Yi still felt sorry for him, and hurriedly handed Jiaojiao to Qingzhao aside, and patiently coaxed him to let go of his little hand.
The maids took the four treasures away, and the four of them found chairs and sat down.
Xiao Xuan tidied up her clothes and hair, then took a sip of tea.
"Xiao Xiaojiu, I have never convinced you since I was a child, but now I really do.
With such a large group of little dolls that can do anything, how did you survive until now?"
Xiao Bi was too lazy to talk to him about this and just said to Chunyu Yi: "Has your wedding date been set?"
Chunyu Yi said: "Father said he would take us to the Duke's Mansion after the New Year, and the wedding will be arranged in March or April."
Hua Xiaohan said: "It's all because of me, otherwise it would be just fine for you to hold the wedding in Ruoshui City."
Xiao Xuan said: "My grandfather once had such an idea, and my mother agreed to it, but Chunyu Xiaomu refused."
Chunyu Yi smiled and said: "Things have already been decided, why do you still want to do this? It's rare for everyone to get together, so why not discuss how to have a lively Spring Festival?"
Xiao Bi and others felt a little sad.
Everyone knows the physical condition of Lord Chunyu. Who knows how many more Spring Festivals he can celebrate?
Therefore, this year must be lively and meaningful.
※※※※
After resting for two days, City Lord Chunyu felt much better.
The matter of Tan's mother and son has been weighing on his mind and must be resolved as soon as possible.
He asked someone to invite Xiao Bi, and the two of them went to the small courtyard located in the southeast corner of the city lord's palace.
Compared with half a year ago, the lush courtyard has become bleak and deserted.
The guard responsible for guarding opened the courtyard door and let the two people in.
"City Lord, what is Tan's identity?" Xiao Bi asked softly.
She wanted to ask this question several times, but she never found a suitable opportunity.
Now that she is here, if she doesn't ask for more information, she is afraid that she will be surprised again later.
City Lord Chunyu smiled and said: "She is my aunt's dowry maid. It is said that she has some relationship with my grandfather. Who knows whether it is true or not."
Xiao Bi stopped and swallowed hard.
Sure enough, this matter was more complicated than she imagined.
Lord Chunyu's mother was from the Shangguan family, and naturally his aunt was also a girl from the Shangguan family.
It's not strange for a girl from the Shangguan family to come to Ruoshui City to visit her sisters, and it's not strange to bring her maid with her.
But this maid...
Although seducing my aunt's husband is too much, it's still reasonable.
Hooking up with my aunt's father-in-law...
That woman Tan’s taste is really strong!
No wonder Elder Gongsun and Doctor Zhang said they had never seen her.
Unless they pay special attention to this kind of relationship and status, who would care?
City Lord Chunyu turned to look at her: "Did you get knocked unconscious?"
Xiao Bi quickly followed him: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. There may be someone behind it."
Lord Chunyu broke off a dead branch and said calmly: "My grandfather has been dead for decades, so even the most complicated things are simple."
Xiao Bi smiled and said: "The city lord is right, I'm the one who got caught."
Lord Chunyu nodded and walked slowly to the door of the main room.
Xiao Bi raised her hand, and the door was pushed open with a creak.
The old woman who was leaning on the bed heard the noise and sat upright.
When she saw the person clearly, she exclaimed: "You...you are Chun Yulan?!"
No wonder she had such a big reaction. In her impression, City Lord Chunyu was still a child of several years old.
But the man in front of him was white and wrinkled, and exuded an aura of decay. He looked like an octogenarian.
If it weren't for the company of that brat Shangguan Nanxiao, she wouldn't even be able to guess his identity.
City Lord Chunyu found a chair and sat down, looking at Mr. Tan attentively: "Although decades have passed, your appearance has not changed much. Tell me, what kind of conspiracy is there?"
Tan sneered and said: "Chun Yulan, you are really promising, yet the good Ruoshui City was handed over to an outsider!"
City Lord Chunyu's expression remained calm: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"How could it be irrelevant?" Mrs. Tan's eyes were full of anger: "My son is the biological son of the old city lord and your uncle!"
"So what?" City Lord Chunyu looked away, too lazy to look at her again.
Tan choked.
