Yangzhou

In a quiet courtyard in the northwest direction of the Xiao House Garden, several servants took turns guarding outside. The person living here was Jiang Yingxiu, who was now half-crazy and half-inciduous. Her son had already been killed by Xiao Xu, and she became completely stunned when she knew about it. When Xiao Nanfeng left Jiankang, he planned to send her back to her hometown in Suzhou and then send someone to take care of her later life. But when Xiao Qingyue saw that she had become like this, she felt a little reluctant, so she took the person back to Yangzhou for convenience. There was nothing wrong with this Jiang family on weekdays, eating, sleeping, and occasionally talking nonsense. But Xiao Nanfeng was not relieved, and placed the person in the most remote and quiet courtyard in the house, and specially sent someone to take turns to watch it in case of an accident.

The weather was getting colder and colder, so Xiao Qingyue sewed two thick robes for Jiang. Today, she took advantage of the good weather and delivered them to her.

At this time, Jiang Yingxiu was sitting on the steps outside the courtyard basking in the sun, muttering something constantly. She was already very old, her hair was already gray, and her face was covered with wrinkles.

Xiao Qingyue felt sad when she saw her appearance. She and Xiao Youyu grew up with her care since childhood, but now her only son left her first...

"Xiu Niang is still the same, she doesn't make noise or make trouble." The voice of Luluo behind her came. She also felt that Xiu Niang was pitiful, and she became stupid by herself.

Lian Qiao, who was following the other side, didn't think so, "It's a great blessing for her to save her life now and we have to take care of her princess." Lian Qiao still blamed Jiang in her heart. If she hadn't told the fifth prince about what happened that year, how could so many things happen?

"Okay, you guys just stand here and wait, I'll take the clothes over." Xiao Qingyue didn't want to mention the right and wrong. Since it was over, what's the point of mentioning it again...

I slowly walked towards the sitting old woman, came to her and squatted back and forth to look at her...

"Madam Jiang..."

This soft call did not attract the attention of the unconscious Jiang family. She still stared at one place with empty eyes.

Xiao Qingyue looked at her for a while, but had no choice but to raise the new clothes she was holding in her arms to show her, "Madam, this is the robe I made for you. The weather is getting colder and colder, and I can wear it at that time."

The person sitting there was still indifferent, shaking his body slightly, like a child.

Xiao Qingyue couldn't help feeling more and more uncomfortable, and continued unwillingly, "Madam, you forgot that I still teach my needlework." She and Youyu's girl Hong were both taught by Jiang, and even Liu Yin's craftsmanship was taught by Jiang.

In the past, when the seasons changed in the palace every year, Liu Yin and Jiang would make several seasonal clothes for her and Youyu respectively. But since then, she has never worn a dress that satisfies her again.

Everything has changed, dead, ignorant, and the person I miss the most is no longer around...

At this time, the person who had been stunned for a long time suddenly withdrew his eyes that had not been focal and slowly moved his gaze to the person squatting in front of him.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyue seemed to see hope again, "Madam, do you still remember me, right? I am Qingyue, you have always called me Xiaoyue."

The old woman muttered, "Xiao Yue'er..."

"Yes, I am Xiao Yue'er..." Xiao Qingyue looked expectant. She hoped that Jiang would be able to wake up, get better, and live together like they did in the palace before.

Jiang Yingxiu murmured Xiao Yue'er several times, and gradually her eyes widened wider. Her originally dull eyes became as good as normal. She suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Qingyue's shoulders! She said excitedly, "Xiao Yue'er, you run away quickly, someone wants to catch you!"

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyue held her arm and tried her best to comfort her, "It's okay, nanny, we are all very safe now. Look here, we are no longer in Jiankang, this is Yangzhou, we are all rescued by the Sixth Prince."

At this time, Jiang seemed to be awake but not sober and muttered again, "Sixth Prince..."

Xiao Qingyue continued to work hard and said, "Yes, Sixth Prince, we are living in the villa of Sixth Prince in Yangzhou."

After hearing this, Jiang's old eyes couldn't help but become much clearer again. The hand holding his arms tightened and tighter. She suddenly asked, "Do you live with the Sixth Prince now?"

The person who was squatting was stunned when she asked this. She couldn't help but wonder whether Jiang was really crazy or fake, and nodded subconsciously. "Yes, I'm with him now."

Jiang was a little excited when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Xiao Yue'er, leave the Sixth Prince quickly! Leave him quickly! Hahahaha..."

"Madam..." Xiao Qingyue looked at the person who was awake just now and was laughing wildly again. What does this mean?

At this time, the person holding her arm tightly suddenly changed the subject, "Have you ever seen my son? Take me to find my son, okay... okay..." As he said that, he shook the person in front of him hard.

At this time, several servants guarding the yard had already surrounded her quickly, pulled away Jiang, who was suddenly incited, and tightly controlled her.

"I'm looking for my son. Have you seen my son? Have you seen him?..." Jiang's family had already started talking nonsense. Seeing this, Lian Qiao and Luluo quickly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Qingyue out of the yard.

Standing outside the yard, you can clearly hear the shouts from inside. Xiao Qingyue's face was a little unfair. Did Jiang's words just now say them consciously or unconsciously... She didn't know, and there was no way to verify it at the moment...

In the evening, Xiao Nanfeng, who was doing business outside, returned to the mansion. News came from Jiankang that Xiao Xu had fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty. He had a premonition that something big would happen in the capital soon. After returning, Xu Fu, the headmaster of the mansion, immediately reported to him about Jiang's affairs. After hearing this, Xiao Nanfeng's face changed slightly, and his deep eyes flashed again and again. After pondering for a long time...

"Before dawn tomorrow, send the woman back to Suzhou and send someone to follow her, don't tell her to run away or die." This is also to prevent Xiao Qingyue from worrying.

"Yes, I'll do it now."

The night gradually darkened. After Xiao Nanfeng took a shower and changed his clothes, he came to his and Xiao Qingyue's yard. At this time, the lights were still on in the room. He stood outside the door and stared at the room for a long time...

Seeing that he had not responded, Li Xun stood for a while and then spoke up and reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's cold at night, so it's better to go into the house earlier."

Hearing the sound, the man kept watching his eyes, and then he took it back, turned around and gave an order.

"Go and tell her that I have something to deal with today and tell her not to wait."

"yes"

After giving the order, Xiao Nanfeng headed towards the study...

Li Xun looked at the direction of his master's departure and thought to himself, why didn't he go back to the room? He still remembered that when he came back in the evening, Xiao Nanfeng rode wildly on his horse. Every time he went out to handle official duties, it was too late to come back, and his master rushed to the mansion as if he was 100,000 yuan. Li Xun knew that it was because the mistress was there in the mansion, but today... it was really strange. When he told Xiao Nanfeng's instructions to Xiao Qingyue, Xiao Qingyue just smiled and then said lightly, "There is no quilt in the study, so let your master carry a quilt."

Li Xun was shocked, but he was silent on the surface, so he had to reply, "Yes" this lady is really extraordinary. No one can guess the master's thoughts thoroughly, only she can figure them out.

When the man in the study saw Li Xun coming with a quilt, his face turned even more ugly. It was Xiao Qingyue's order. The woman really understood her more and more, but he gradually became a little uneasy...

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Qingyue got up early. After washing up, she went to the house of Lian Qiao and Luluo and shouted the two of them out of their sleep.

Both of them rubbed their sleepy eyes and were in a fog. Lian Qiao looked at the dark sky outside and asked, "Princess, it's not dawn yet, what are you doing?"

"Give someone a gift"

Giving someone away? Both maids didn't understand until they went to the yard where Jiang's family lived during the day...

Several maids were packing Jiang's luggage, and Jiang Yingxiu seemed to be a little unhappy because she was called to get up too early.

The busy people and the butler Xu Fu were shocked when they saw Xiao Qingyue coming. Xu Fu even wanted to report to Xiao Nanfeng directly, but was stopped by Xiao Qingyue.

"Uncle Fu, you are busy with yours, don't need to inform him. I'm not going to interfere with anything, I just want to send her off."

Seeing her say this, Xu Fu ordered the others to continue to clean up. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, he thought for a while and explained.

"Madam, the prince arranged to send Jiang away for the sake of his wife's safety. However, although the lady is relieved, the prince has arranged for someone to serve Jiang specifically to let her enjoy her old age."

"Yeah, Uncle Laufu has trouble"

"Mrs. I'm so polite"

Everything was quickly packed up. Xiao Qingyue and two maids accompanied Jiang's family all the way out of the mansion. At this time, a carriage was parked outside the mansion. The horse holding the body of the carriage was hanging its hooves, as if waiting a little impatient.

Jiang's eyes were much clearer than those in the day...

Xiao Qingyue even wanted to help her get into the car. The moment she grabbed that hand, the owner of the hand also tightly held her hand. Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but look at the person who was silent from beginning to end, but she didn't see her expression clearly in the end...

The carriage slowly drove, and the people who got on the car slowly shed tears...

Jiang pursed her trembling lips and hugged her body with some fear. It was really terrible last night. She kept not talking, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she couldn't say it...

In the middle of the night, she was filled with mute medicine. I thought it was Xiao Nanfeng who ordered someone to do it... because she said something she shouldn't say...

Xiao Qingyue kept watching the carriage leave until she could not hear the sound of the horse's hooves. Then she withdrew her gaze and turned into the mansion.

She didn't know that Jiang's family has become a mute now...
