Chapter 44 Hui Niang passed away

Qiaoyu did not tell her mother the truth, but discussed it with her uncle and hid it. The man began to secretly prepare for his mother's afterth.

On March 15, Zhiyuan returned home early from Yanxing. After changing my usual clothes, I went to visit my sister's room. After not seeing her for a few days, Hui Niang lost some weight again, and her face was also pale gray.

"Sister, I came back early today and want to have dinner with you." Zhiyuan felt sad, but his face pretended to be calm as much as possible.

Hui Niang looked at her brother happily, "Okay! Let Xuezhu invite all the children in a moment, and we will have a reunion dinner together.

"Good!" Zhiyuan has already had some crying sounds.

During the banquet, everyone was deliberately happy. Zhiyuan drank wine for the first time in more than a decade. Hui Niang also wanted to drink, and was robbed of the glass by Qiaoyu.

Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped, "Yuer, everyone is happy today, and it's rare to have a meal together, so let your mother have a drink." Qiaoyu helplessly filled the wine glass and handed it to her mother with both hands. Hui Niang picked it up with a smile. Yuer, the three of you are also full. Zhiyuan said with a smile. Lily and Xianglan came forward to fill Qiaoyu, Haoxuan and Youlin with wine. Five people raised their glasses together and drank all at once.

After three rounds, Zhiyuan looked at Hui Niang and said solemnly, "Sister, I want to ask for marriage for Haoxuan. I wonder if my sister can agree to marry Yuer to Haoxuan?

All four people present were stunned. Youlin was the first to react and looked at Qiaoyu with a bad smile. Sister, should I change my name to your sister-in-law?

"Guys up, everyone. Qiaoyu will leave first." Qiaoyu blushed when You Lin said it. She stood up and left the table shyly and went back to her boudoir. Hao Xuan and You Lin also got up and left the table one after another.

"Zhzhiyuan, your sister understands your mind. It's just that won't make Haoxuan wronged. After all, Yuer is..." Hui Niang really can't say the three words of illegitimate child.

"Sister, relax. Yuer is my niece. Isn't it a good thing to kiss Haoxuan? What's more, I asked for marriage for Haoxuan, and there was a layer of selfishness. Now Yu'er is in the house. If Yuer gets married, such a big house, so many things, who should I give it to?

"Brother, it's hard for you to work hard! Yuer's in the future, please! Sister, thank you very much!" Hui Niang was already a little choked.

"Sister, what's going on? Why are you and I so estranged?

At the beginning of April, Hui Niang's illness became more serious and she had no strength to get out of bed. Qiaoyu accompanied her mother to dinner in the room as usual. When Lily and Xuezhu packed up, Qiaoyu sat by the bed and talked with her mother.

"Mother, Youlin accompanied me to the Qian family's silk village this morning, and a new batch of silk was bought there. We have selected a few pieces and sent them to Tailor Wang. Make an autumn dress for everyone..."

Hui Niang leaned against the soft pillow and casually interrupted Qiaoyu's words, "Yuer, would you like to marry Haoxuan?"

Qiaoyu hesitated for a moment and replied quietly, "Is this matter up to Yuer?"

"Yu'er!" Hui Niang was a little anxious, "It should be the best destination for you to stay at the Yan family. Are you not satisfied?"

"It's naturally good to stay at the Yan family. It's just that Haoxuan and I grew up together, and I have always regarded him as my younger brother. Now that we want to be husband and wife, it is inevitable to be a little reserved. I'm afraid it will take some time to be calm. I thought Haoxuan would marry Huize. It's just a pity... alas!"

"Yu'er, mother knows the pain in your heart. You have been strong since you were a child. With so many things in Yanfu, you can also take care of them in an orderly manner. In terms of talent and appearance, in terms of cleverness, which lady in Zhenjiang Mansion is better than you? It's a pity that you are 16 years old and still unmarried.

"Mother, Yuer has never understood. Why can't people let people know that I am the daughter of Mu Sheng, the Duke of Guizhou?

"Do you still remember the time when Princess Nankang suddenly visited in Beiping Beiyuan ten years ago?"

"But now that the King of Yan has ascended the throne, why are you still afraid of Princess Nankang?"

"Yuer, your father has a hard time. If your identity is disclosed, you, me, and even the whole Yan family may become the target of others threatening your father. Qiaoyu listened to her mother's words and bowed her head without saying anything. Yuer, your father has too much involuntarily. Otherwise, why didn't he come to us for so many years? He only secretly sent a large bouquet of lilies on your birthday every year.

"Mother! Yuer understands!"

Hui Niang gently took off the jade pendant on her neck and solemnly put it on the palm of Qiaoyu's hand. Yuer, this is what your father gave to me when you were born. I have been wearing it all the time. Now I'll give it to you. You have to swear to protect it.

Qiaoyu didn't know why her mother was like this. She cried in her eyes and knelt down solemnly on her knees. "The sky is above, and I swear here. From today on, people, jade is here, the jade is broken, and people are dead!" Hui Niang nodded with satisfaction and put Qiaoyu on her neck.

Qiaoyu said a silly word with tears in her eyes, "Mother, have you ever regretted and complained?"

Hui Niang's eyes lit up and looked at the starry sky and answered happily, "I have never regretted or complained. Yuer, I'm tired, too. Go back!"

Qiaoyu hesitated for a moment and asked Hui Niang in a low voice, "Mother, can I lie down with you for a while?" Hui Niang nodded and said nothing more.

Qiaoyu got up and helped Hui Niang remove the soft pillow, helped Hui Niang lie down, took off her embroidered shoes, stepped into the bed, and lay with Hui Niang. Qiaoyu took Hui Niang's hand and soon fell asleep.
