Chapter 282 Aunt Ye Visits
Who doesn't know the identity of Commander Wuchen? Not to mention that the General Gu's Mansion was inherited by the two brothers, their mother's family is one of the most famous aristocratic families in Zhuocheng! !
With the foreshadowing of the previous eavesdropping incident during the picnic, and the revelation of the lack of money, everyone understood that it turned out that the commander had fallen in love with the girl, but she wanted to run away! !
Shen Yu didn't dare to tell the truth to Aunt Ye. In fact, this time the marriage between Wu Chen and Ye Mu'an should be considered a verbal arrangement, but no one cared under the circumstances at the time. Logically, Ye Mu'an should have been married before going to Zhuocheng, but since no one mentioned it, she was happy to play dumb.
After all, she is still my good friend from ancient times. Instead of letting her get married in a hurry, it is better to take her to Zhuocheng to have a good look. She can have a grand wedding with Wuchen, or find a new handsome guy in Zhuocheng. With me as the princess to protect her, she will not be wronged.
Madam Ye sighed, "This child obviously likes Wu Chen, but she said that the prince was in front of the palace to help her out. Wu Chen doesn't like her, and she can't repay kindness with hatred. Sigh... Anyway, it's better for her to follow you over there. I have nothing to worry about with you around."
Shen Yu saw that she was sighing all the time, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, godmother. She went there in the name of sending me a bride. The emperor probably forgot about the marriage, and the people in the palace won't say anything. Anyway, no one in Zhuocheng knows about it, so there should be room for maneuver. The worst case scenario is that she will marry Wuchen. I will never let her suffer any grievances!"
Shen Yu didn't have the confidence before, but since he knew what the emperor and Prince De were up to, he could talk about it. Speaking of this...
"Godmother, do you know Prince De?" Shen Yu asked tentatively.
Since he is her mother's admirer, Aunt Ye, as her best friend, should know something about this, right?
Madam Ye was surprised, "Why are you asking about him suddenly? Alas... he is also a poor man!" Seeing Shen Yu staring at her curiously, with an expression of "tell me what you want to say quickly", thinking that this is not a secret, she moved closer and whispered, "He was also a student of your grandfather. I heard from your mother that he was the most talented student among all his brothers. Unfortunately, after an accident, he even lost his identity and was given the title of idle emperor. Otherwise, he should have been..."
Mrs. Ye pointed to the sky mysteriously, she thought she didn't know.
Holding back his curiosity, Shen Yu asked again, as if he had suddenly realized something, "Wow, so there is such a connection! So he is my mother's senior brother? Godmother, have you met Prince De? Does he have a good relationship with my mother?"
Madam Ye glanced at her and said with a smile, "Back then, the Su Family Academy was the most famous place in Luo City. How many young masters and talented people came to visit it? Even I have heard of the name of Master Su in the Jiangnan Cao Gang. Besides, your mother and I were already married at that time, so how could we go to the front yard? The academy in front is separated from the inner house in the back. For safety reasons, I never go through the front gate... Tsk, haven't you been to the Su Mansion!"
Shen Yu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Su Mansion was so huge and the front yard was so elegant. She said that the Taifu Mansion was too exaggerated. It turned out that it was once a popular check-in spot for students? !
Eh? That's right, Mrs. Ye was originally from Jiangnan, and was pestered by her godfather... No, she was moved by her godfather's sincerity and married into the Ye family in Luocheng. She became friends with her mother after they got married.
Thinking back to the timeline Aunt Lan had mentioned, Aunt Lan said that she entered the Su Mansion at the age of three, when her mother was nine. When she was eight, her mother went to Jiangnan, which made her fourteen. A year later, her fifteen-year-old mother married Shen Nian, and gave birth to her original self, Shen Yu, at the age of sixteen. At the age of nineteen, she followed her husband back after being promoted, until she died of complications during childbirth at the age of twenty-five...
In other words, if my mother wanted to have an encounter with Prince De, it would have happened before she was fourteen? In ancient times, girls could start planning marriages at the age of twelve, so a fourteen-year-old girl could definitely fall in love! !
Seeing her eyes rolling around, Madam Ye knew what she was thinking. She reached out and touched her temple, warning her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. He was a prince in the past. Your mother never wanted a husband with three wives and four concubines. She even said that she wanted to marry a military commander when she was young..." Madam Ye's eyes were full of nostalgia when she talked about the ancients, "But if I had known that marrying Shen Nian would end up like this..."
Although she hesitated to speak, Shen Yu understood. It seemed that his mother had originally had the option of Prince De, but she did not want it... He also remembered Aunt Lan's words that his mother had to marry Shen Nian against her will...
"Godmother, in your eyes, is mother happy?" Shen Yu looked up at the roof and suddenly asked.
Mrs. Ye was silent. She sighed in her heart. Yu'er is now able to protect herself. Should she tell the truth?
"...godmother?"
Seeing that she didn't answer, Shen Yu actually guessed something in her heart. There was indeed something hidden in this matter, so she continued, "Aunt Lan once told me that she suspected that my mother didn't marry my father voluntarily..."
Mrs. Ye was also shocked when she heard it, "What!!! What did you say?"
She also knew Xu Lan. Although she had never seen her in person, she had heard Yi Xia mention her as a childhood playmate. She had also asked her why she didn't transfer her to her side and keep her. Now that she thought about it... her friend's reaction at the time was also very strange. She just shook her head and didn't answer.
Madam Ye said angrily, "Tell me, tell me exactly what happened! Isn't Xu Lan a good person? She..."
Seeing her suddenly excited, Shen Yu immediately comforted her, "No, no, don't be angry, godmother..." Then he looked up at the figure that had disappeared, and understood, "Godmother, let's wait a little while, can you go fishing with me?"
Mrs. Ye looked puzzled. What kind of fish were they fishing for?
Despite saying this, Mrs. Ye just picked up the tea in front of her angrily. Originally, she just came to see her today and there was nothing else. But now it seems that Yu'er seemed to have made arrangements in advance?
If Shen Yu guessed correctly, the people who had been eavesdropping on the roof should be Prince De's men. She had instructed them in the morning that if Prince De's men came over, there was no need to stop them. Anyway, the secret guards of both sides had already met in the small courtyard, so Prince De's men entered the palace unimpeded just now. Mu Si even nodded to him in a friendly manner as a greeting, and then hid in the tree as usual, pretending not to see her.
Prince De's secret guard: "…………" The people in Prince Zhuo's mansion are quite polite?
Sure enough, not long after, she heard the request from Prince De to visit her. Seeing that he acted so quickly, Shen Yu became more convinced that he loved her mother.
Originally, she planned to wait until Aunt Lan gave birth to a younger brother or sister before taking action against Shen Nian. Now it seems that maybe she can kill with a borrowed knife?
Oh no, maybe they have already sharpened the knife~~~
