Chapter 112 But she didn't...
Yan Shanshan took Xiao Yuxi's hand, a little shyly, "Can you come with me? I want to talk to my mother, but I'm scared."
Xiao Yuxi gripped her hand tightly, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll stay with you, sister."
Xiao Yuxi followed behind her, her eyes a little sore. If only she could see her mother too...
Sister Shanshan can still find her mother and ask her to take her away.
But she didn't...
When Xiao Yuxi saw Yan Shanshan turn to look at her, she quickly gave her a sweet smile.
The little parrot perched on her shoulder, poked its head out, and gently pecked her face.
Yan Shanshan led Xiao Yuxi through numerous courtyards, finally arriving at the backyard. Just as Yan Shanshan was about to take Xiao Yuxi's hand and go inside, they saw Princess Lanyue's personal maid leading the third young lady of the Mu family into Princess Lanyue's room.
Yan Shanshan froze instantly, standing there unable to move.
The biological mother of this third daughter of the Mu family is Yan Yuxu. Yan Yuxu was originally a palace servant who served Princess Lanyue.
Later, for some unknown reason, she suddenly caught the eye of Lord Yan. After Princess Lanyue gave birth to Yan Jiaojiao, Lord Yan found an excuse to bestow upon her the surname Yan. He did not elevate her to the status of a concubine, and she was raised in the mansion without any official title or status, all in secret from Princess Lanyue.
It wasn't until Princess Lanyue became pregnant with Prince Yan's child that she was shocked to discover that her maid was carrying Lord Yan's child. Enraged, Princess Lanyue mercilessly beat her and banished her from the Yan residence.
At that time, the imperial physicians had already made a clear diagnosis that Yan Yuxu had miscarried.
After that, Princess Lanyue repeatedly and publicly ridiculed her for not keeping to her proper place and for seducing her master.
Unexpectedly, she later became involved with the Mu family.
Yan Shanshan couldn't understand why her mother would smash a bunch of things every time she mentioned her former maid, yet now she wanted to see her daughter again? A daughter who had married into a better family.
"Third sister? Hmm."
As soon as Xiao Yuxi opened her mouth, Yan Shanshan shut her up.
Yan Shanshan pulled Xiao Yuxi away from the maid and quietly went around to the back of her mother's house.
She wanted to know why her mother wanted to see her.
When her brother passed away, her mother cried all night at home. The next day, she began to clean up the family's shops and separated all the shops that belonged to her.
Then, she received devastating news: her father and mother were about to get a divorce.
What saddened her even more was that her mother seemed unwilling to see her again.
My mother always regarded my father as the center of her life, waiting anxiously for him to return home every day. Whenever my father brought women from outside the mansion back to the residence, my mother would be furious and fly into a rage, smashing everything she could in the room.
The Yan family had many illegitimate daughters, but very few illegitimate sons, most of whom died young before reaching adulthood.
She knew it was because her mother hated the women and children her father brought back. And she, like her mother, loathed them utterly.
However, now that her mother has completely given up on her father and feels no emotion towards his actions, she feels an unprecedented sense of fear and unease.
Because my mother used to be like that too; once she disliked someone, she would also hate everyone associated with them.
What if Mom starts to hate Dad, and then starts to hate her too?
What should she do then?
Mother should never see these people who were once related to Father again, right?
Yan Shanshan hesitated for a long time before secretly poking a hole in the paper window.
All that could be seen was her mother standing in front of Musiliao, bending down and pinching Musiliao's chin as she knelt on the ground.
Princess Lanyue stared blankly at Musiliao's face, as if she could see another figure through the person in front of her.
Yu Xu, the close maid who was inseparable from her, was also her wet nurse's biological daughter.
She was deeply devoted to Yuxu, treating her like a younger sister. Not only did she bestow upon her the most generous treatment in the Yan family, but she also specially hired a master musician from the music troupe to teach her the skills in order to satisfy her love of music and dance.
But what did she do?
He secretly started an affair with Yan Hou behind her back, even keeping it a secret from her. He eventually became pregnant, and she only found out about it then.
She hated most the endless stream of women that Yan Hou brought back from outside, as well as the constant stream of illegitimate children.
But the person she trusted most still betrayed her.
Princess Lanyue slowly lowered her eyes, gazing at Mu Siliao's face, which bore a slight resemblance to Shanshan's. Her brows furrowed slightly as she softly asked, "How old are you?"
Musiliao lowered her eyes and answered tremblingly, "Your Highness, I will be fifteen in two months." Her voice trembled slightly.
Princess Lanyue silently observed her, then suddenly chuckled softly, the meaning of which was difficult to decipher. After a long while, she spoke again, "Are you afraid of this princess?"
Upon hearing this, Musiliao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying with trepidation, "Your Majesty is so majestic and awe-inspiring. I have great respect for Your Majesty. Today, I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty for the first time, and I have become somewhat out of control. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"You've been raised quite well by your mother." Princess Lanyue sat back down, picked up her teacup and played with it in her hand, her eyes revealing no emotion.
Musiliao didn't know if she was being sarcastic, but Princess Lanyue was of noble status, so whatever she said went.
Princess Lanyue gently closed her eyes.
She must be the child she ordered her servants to abort.
Did Yuxu find someone to protect her child?
So be it. No matter how many more women Lord Yan brings into his household in the future, she won't care in the slightest.
However, the appearance of this third daughter of the Mu family was quite different from that of Yu Xu.
Yu Xu's appearance was not exceptionally beautiful, but she had an extremely endearing face and a fragile aura. This kind of person was most loved by men, like a parasitic flower that needed to cling to others to survive.
However, she doesn't look like Yuxu at all; she looks more like her Shanshan.
But why does she look so much like Shan Shan?
Shanshan doesn't really look like Yan Hou; she resembles her more. Yan Hou is naturally more striking and has a more aggressive look, and Shanshan perfectly inherited her face.
If she is Yan Hou's child, she shouldn't look so much like Shan Shan.
Princess Lanyue turned to the maid beside her and asked, "Yuhe, in your opinion, who does she look like?"
Yuhe, standing to the side, was secretly astonished.
When she first met the third daughter of the Mu family, she was astonished. She never imagined that the third daughter of the Mu family would look so much like Miss Shanshan.
They looked as if they had been molded from the same mold. She and Yu Xu served the princess together, and she knew that the princess wanted to see Yu Xu one last time and return the things she had left in the mansion.
