Legitimate Daughter, Arrogant Consort

Xiu-Er's eyes turned red, "Father married an aunt. He has always looked down on Mother and me. We have been living under those two concubines all these years. Father has some ability in Luo City. However … He had five daughters. They were both at the right age to be married. He couldn't marry all of them. We all passed the women's exam. Mother thought back and forth, afraid that I would be married to some unsightly family, so she begged her aunt. Let my aunt help. When his aunt heard this, she agreed. As it happened, my cousin was going to marry the Crown Prince, so my aunt asked me to be your companion. Who would have thought … Cousin was kind and did not want me to suffer with you. "

Xiu-Er started to cry.

Situ Yaoru's eyebrows shot up as she heard this. He held the person by his side and comforted, "Cousin, don't worry. Since you're here, don't worry. "There will always be a good family." Situ Yaoyao's attitude was very gentle, but her heart was cold. What a joke. Other than the fact that the Situ Family dared to be so disrespectful to the Gu Family's daughter, how many other families would dare to do so?

No matter how blind he was, he wouldn't dare to be careless in marrying someone. Especially since those clans were not idiots, how could they not know that Xiu-Er had the Gu family backing her?

Xiu-Er seemed to know a lot. She clearly had a good education. How could she not be favored? Everything she wore was worth a lot of money.

The incense on him was the fragrance of leaves. There were very few people in the capital who could afford this kind of fragrance. The fragrance of the leaves on her body was already very strong. It was obvious that it wasn't just used recently.

In addition, he had the air of nobility around him. All of this showed that her little cousin was lying.

However, this had nothing to do with her. As long as her cousin did not do something that displeased her, she could turn a blind eye. After all … It wasn't easy for him.

She had been sent by the Gu family to watch over her.

"Situ, give this brocade handkerchief to your cousin to wipe her face." At the side, Yu Sheng handed over the brocade handkerchief as he said indifferently. However, there was no sympathy in his eyes.

He was no fool, nor was he blind. Yu Sheng was also able to see what Situ Yaoyao had seen.

He had no interest in hearing these lies, so he took out the brocade handkerchief.

Situ Yaoru wiped Xiu-Er's face. Xiu-Er felt wronged and looked at Situ Yaoru, "Cousin, Xiu-Er knows that Xiu-Er is giving you trouble by staying here."

"What are you saying? I'm nothing good, just hospitable. You can stay as long as you want. Of course, the prerequisite was … "Xiu-Er, you won't make me angry."

"How, how could I make my cousin angry?" Xiu-Er was confused.

"That's true. After all, you are not Situ Hongshui."

"Situ Hongshui? Is it second cousin? " Xiu-Er asked curiously.

"For the time being, she is just like me, half a father and half a mother. My little sister, I have always doted on her, but she used me to do many things that disappoint me. He even framed me time and time again. "Then, cousin, do you know what happened to her?" Situ Yaoyao asked with a smile on her face.

"I don't know."

"Then there is no need to know. "Cousin, as long as you know not to mess with me, it's enough." Situ Yaoru lightly said. Xiu-Er nodded. However, there was a trace of fear in his heart. This cousin was not as gullible as she looked.

While the two of them had their own ulterior motives, the horse carriage slowly drove to the Shining Light Temple. It was just as Situ Yaoru had said, peach blossoms were scattered all over the area outside of the Shining Light Temple.

At this time, only the Radiant Light Temple had peach blossoms.

After Situ Yaoru and the others got off the carriage, they had some thoughts of not wanting to leave. Finally, Xiu-Er said, "Cousin, it's rare to come to the temple. I want to pay my respects."

"Then, let's go to the Shining Light Temple first." Situ Yaoru said.

Naturally, Yu Sheng had no objections. Thus, the three of them entered the Shining Light Temple.

Inside the temple, the incense was burning hot. Xiu-Er and the others went to the temple where the Bodhisattva was. He knelt down. Situ Yaoru originally didn't believe in Buddha, but since she had come, she had to be sincere.

After kneeling, Situ Yaoru stood up first. Xiu-Er was kneeling on the floor and she didn't know what to say. Situ Yaoru whispered, "Xiu-Er, are you ready?"

"Cousin, I want to stay here for a while to pay my respects, is that alright?" Xiu-Er looked at Situ Yaoru with expectation. Hearing this, Situ Yaoru smiled, "Since younger cousin is interested in worshipping a Bodhisattva, then let's pay our respects for a while longer. The carriage is at the foot of the mountain. We'll go over to check on the peach blossoms first, then you'll come and find us."

"Thank you, cousin." Xiu-Er said with a smile.

Situ Xiangrong and Yu Sheng left.

"Why let her be?" Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaowu in puzzlement. It was obvious that the girl called Xiu-Er had something to do.

"Since she wants to stay there, let her stay there. It won't do me any harm. "

"Did you believe what she said?" Yu Sheng was puzzled.

"You think I'm an idiot?" Situ Yaoru asked. Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng understood. She didn't believe Xiu-Er. However, he didn't want to expose Xiu-Er.

"I really don't know what you're thinking."

"Yusheng, did you know? My Situ Family is like a big cage. They are planning something, and everyone has their own thoughts. Whether it was the people from the Situ and Gu Clans, they were all plotting something. As for me, I am their chess piece. I kept this girl to see what they are going to do. I even thought about running away like that. However … My mother brought me so well that I can't make her sad. Thus, he gave up on this idea. This restaurant is the trump card I left behind. In my opinion, whether it's the Situ Clan or Gu Clan, it doesn't matter. They're digging their own graves. I don't want to end up with nothing for my mother and me. At the very least, I need to have conditions that will allow her to live a safe life, one that wouldn't even be inferior to the Situ Family. "

Situ Yaoru said.

"You are quite diligent. However, Situ, since you want to marry the crown prince, the crown prince will naturally help you. And why would they watch as something happens to the Situ and Gu Clans? " Yu Sheng smiled as he consoled her.

Upon hearing that, Situ Yaoru shook her head. "Yuesheng, there are many times when he is unable to control himself. How many people on high were able to follow their own hearts? I'm afraid that one day, even if he wanted to help me save the Situ Family, he wouldn't be able to. Furthermore, I only have one request, and that is for my mother and I to live on. " Situ Yaoru said. However, she still had another concern that she didn't mention.

It was that she was still alive. Perhaps Tantai Wuyue would throw caution to the wind for her sake. However, what if she died? After living a new life, Madam Situ had allowed her to experience the happiness of being a child. Naturally, she had to leave something behind for Madam Situ. Otherwise, wouldn't he be letting down his own heart?

"Situ, I don't know much about your Situ Family, but don't get too tired. What those people had done wrong, they should have done by themselves. How can I let you bear the burden? " Yu Sheng frowned.

Hearing this, Situ Yaoru smiled, "You speak too lightly. I'm afraid you're not able to control yourself."

"I think you're just too soft-hearted."

"Perhaps, at least I can't just watch as the Situ Family members die." After all, my surname is Situ. "

"You're talking about you, aren't you? You should know very well what the people from the Situ Family are like to you. " Yu Sheng sighed.

"Perhaps, I won't say anymore. Let's watch the peach blossoms. " Situ Yaoru walked into the Peach Blossom Forest and took out the paper bag that she had prepared earlier. She then began to pick up the petals on the ground that hadn't been stepped on.

"What are you doing?" Yu Sheng was puzzled.

"Collect materials." If you want to make the Peach Blossom Wine, you naturally have to pick the Peach Blossom petal. " Situ Yaoru looked at Yu Sheng with an expression that said 'are you an idiot'. The corner of Yu Sheng's mouth twitched. "Wouldn't it be better to pick from the trees? The petals on the ground are so dirty. "

"The petals on the tree are for viewing. Blooming flowers was not easy, but you plucked it before it even fell. Isn't that a tragedy? Furthermore, the petals that fall to the ground will taste better when you brew the Peach Blossom Wine. " As he spoke, Situ Yaoru continued to pick up the peach blossom petals. Seeing her behaving in such a manner, Yu Sheng shook his head helplessly before picking it up as well.
