Chapter 206 God’s Will
"When I found you, you were lying in a swaddling cloth that had been buried deep in the snow."
"You only showed your little face, which was frozen purple, and you made sounds with difficulty. Your breathing was getting shallower and shallower, and your clothes were frozen into icicles. If I had come a step later, even the Great God would have been unable to save you."
"At that time, there was a nanny who had been frozen to death for a long time beside you, perhaps your wet nurse."
"She had no money on her body. I don't know if she had no money to begin with, or if someone stole it."
"Mother took you back and searched through your clothes. There was a pocket sewn on the inside of your swaddling cloth, and the jade pendant was hidden in it. We asked the servant to bury the nanny and take you back to the Xu family. After asking around, we didn't hear that anyone had lost a child. Half a year later, I named you Shi Yun, thinking about how hard you were born, and I just hope that you will have good luck in the future."
Xu Yiting's smile deepened a little. At that time, the happiest thing for the brothers was that they had a younger sister in the family.
Knowing that his sister couldn't find her family, he was happy and excited.
"It's strange to say, my father had ambitions, but his career was not smooth and he was always suppressed."
"After you came to our house, my father suddenly seemed to have changed his luck and became very successful in the court. In just six years, he became a first-rank official and was selected by the late emperor to be the Taifu to enlighten the prince." Emperor Xuanping was still the prince at that time.
"At that time, my father seemed to have divine help, and everything our family did went very smoothly." It was so smooth that it was outrageous.
Originally, the Xu family was just a clean stream in the court, with an empty reputation but no real power.
But since Yunniang came, the Xu family has been in its heyday. In just six years, it has changed its family directly, as if it had divine help.
Xu's eyes were filled with tears, and she enjoyed everything the Xu family gave her with peace of mind.
But she never thought that she was not the daughter of the Xu family.
Xu stood up and knelt in front of her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
"Yunniang, what are you doing? That's why we don't want to tell you, for fear that you will feel psychologically burdened!" The eldest sister-in-law looked anxious and hurriedly helped her up.
"Besides, your eldest brother is not talking nonsense. When I was engaged to your eldest brother, the Xu family was not yet prosperous. Since you were born, the Xu family has been rising step by step."
"Don't feel psychologically burdened because of this. Maybe it's because Yunniang has such a noble fate that the Xu family has been promoted and made a fortune." The eldest sister-in-law smiled and pulled her.
When she entered the door, Xu Shiyun was still a child, and she raised him as a child.
"Your swaddling clothes and clothes are all kept in the Xu family. If you need them, I will send someone to deliver them."
"We have also secretly investigated some of these years. The swaddling clothes on you seem to come from the South."
Mrs. Xu nodded: "Last night, the man came from the royal family of the South. This jade pendant is a legacy of the royal family of the South."
"Keep this jade pendant and don't show it to others. It is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse, but you don't have to be afraid. Your family will protect you." Xu Yiting is now only glad that Yunniang has a good fate.
Although she divorced Lu Yuanze, her children are very successful.
Especially Chaochao, who earned her an imperial decree, and the emperor also valued her very much. Even if the South really came to look for someone, the emperor would never give up.
Xu Yiting frowned slightly, not knowing why.
I always feel that God is playing a big game of chess.
It seems that the root of everything is Chaochao?
A flash of inspiration came to his mind, but he did not grasp it and did not think deeply.
"You, please don't feel any psychological burden."
"If you are alienated from us, it will make us sad. We kept it a secret from you, just wanting you to live your life without worries and burdens." Xu Yiting said seriously. Not only him, but the whole family thought so.
Xu bowed deeply to her eldest brother.
Now thinking about it, she was in love, broke up with her family, and married Lu Yuanze. How disheartening it must be.
Xu tried to hold back her tears: "I want to go home and kowtow to my parents."
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, which is the day for married daughters to return to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.
Xu Yiting saw that her face was pale, but she was in very good spirits, so he did not stop her.
Rong Che dared not leave even a step, and drove them to Xu's house in person.
Lu Chaochao sat in her mother's arms: "Mom, don't cry, Chaochao will give you a kiss..." Lu Chaochao's little hands were warm, and she wiped her mother's tears in a hurry.
Xu forced a smile. Fortunately, there was Chaochao, otherwise...
The Xu family adopted her, but the whole family of Xu was executed.
As soon as the carriage stopped, everyone in the Xu family was waiting at the door.
Even the old lady was standing in the cold wind with a cane, and no one could stop her.
"Oh, you damn thing, you dare to hurt my Yunniang. Don't be afraid... Mother is here, let's see who dares to bully you!" The old lady poked the ground with her cane, gritting her teeth in hatred.
Xu's eyes were hot and she knelt in the snow.
"Dad, mother, Yunniang is unfilial."
"If you don't raise a child, you can repay it by cutting off your fingers. If you raise a child, you can repay it by cutting off your head. If you don't raise a child, you can repay it forever. Yunniang will never be able to repay your kindness in this life and eternity." She kowtowed solemnly to the two elders of the Xu family.
"Who wants you to repay it!" The old tutor's eyes bulged.
"Hurry up and get up. Your legs are frozen. Your mother will be worried and cry." The old lady glared at her, but her eyes were full of concern.
Xu helped her parents into the house.
"As long as you live well, your mother will be at ease in this life. Although you are not my biological child, I love you more than those others."
"I wanted to hide it from you for a lifetime, so that you can live a life without worries, but that damn thing actually found you!" The old lady started to curse again.
When Yunniang was brought back, she didn't even have the strength to suck, so the old lady personally held the bowl and fed her little by little.
The three sons all slept with the wet nurse.
Only Yun Niang took care of her personally, ate and slept with her and raised her.
A lot of hard work was put into it.
"You were once thin and small, and you could die at any time. Who wouldn't feel sad to see you?"
"In this life, the only thing that makes my mother sad is that you refuse to come back to see her." Because of this, the old lady became seriously ill and suffered from heart disease, lingering on her bed.
"It's also our fault. We pity you for suffering when you were young. We raised you too innocently, and you were deceived by Lu Yuanze."
Xu started to cry again.
The deep guilt almost overwhelmed her.
"Don't look at your father's fierce look. When he cries, he cries louder than anyone else."
"When you got married, he cried at home for three days and took three days off from going to court."
"Later, when you didn't go home, he missed you again. After going to court, he didn't even change his official uniform, but secretly lay outside the gate of Zhongyong Hou's mansion to peek at you."
The old lady Fu Ergen turned red, waving her hands and getting angry: "What are you talking about? I walked to the door of the Hou Mansion for a walk, who peeked!"
Xu's tears turned into laughter.
"Thank you, Daddy, for giving Yun Niang a home." She murmured in a low voice.
The old lady touched her head: "It was God who sent you to the Xu family. It is our blessing to be able to raise you. You will always be the daughter of the Xu family, so don't think too much."
"If you are confused again, I will break your legs this time."
Rong Che said quietly: "Whoever beats me, I will take the beating for her."
The old lady blew his beard and stared, this love brain has been replaced?
"How could Lord Zhen Guo give birth to such a fool as you!"
Rong Che grinned.
