Chapter Seventy-Three: Reencountering Shen Feibai
The king's concubine is actually not allowed to go out casually, the queen and the imperial concubine can still be invited to banquets in the palace and take a look around, but the concubine belongs to the kind of woman who is raised in a deep mansion and cannot go out at will.
So Han Caiwei went out quietly this time, and there was a sedan chair waiting at the door early in the morning. Then, under Shuang'er's guidance all the way, they arrived at the gate of the Han Mansion.
Shuang'er went in to report, and before long, the main gate opened, and Madame Han herself came out to greet them.
Han Caiwei did not want to see
At this moment, she called Mrs. Han "mother", which was a slip of the tongue. Mrs. Han suddenly saw her return, with excitement in her eyes that couldn't be hidden. Before she could speak, a woman in a yellow shirt next to her slightly bowed: "Sister is well."
Han Caiwei looked over and was stunned: "Yun Mei? How are you here?"
Han Caiyun smiled uncomfortably: "It's not that Brother Bai accompanied me back to see Mother. He just arrived a moment ago."
Han Caiwei was overjoyed when she heard the news. She had been planning to go to Shen's residence anyway, but now it seemed that heaven was helping her and she didn't need to go after all!
The two daughters who had married out of the Han family returned today, and Mrs. Han was naturally delighted. She took Han Caiwei's hand and smiled as she said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
After everyone sat down in the main hall, there was a round of greetings. Han Caiwei knew that Shuang'er had left for six years and hadn't returned to the Han Mansion, and she was also a house-born slave of the Han Mansion, so she allowed her to go see her parents, leaving only He Xiaohua and Qiu Hua to attend to them on the side.
The Han family was just a merchant's house, and for generations they had been in the jade business. They couldn't be considered a scholarly family, but they had raised their daughter well. If it weren't for the decline of the family's fortunes, she wouldn't have been sent to the palace as a concubine. It had been six years since they last saw each other, and at the wedding banquet, they hadn't even been able to speak. This time, when she returned home, Madame Han had many things she wanted to say, but with so much to say, she didn't know where to start, and her eyes first reddened with tears.
"Sister, this time you're back, Mother should be delighted, the whole city is discussing it! They say that Third Prince dotes on sister, and has even moved from the prince's mansion to sister's residence. Who would have thought that after six years apart, sister still forgot about old friends? It can't be said, but in sister's heart, status is still more important than emotions!"
Han Caiyun was still angry about the wedding banquet, and even more so for Shen Feibai's sake. Moreover, this sentence had a strong sour taste and a sense of injustice, which Han Caixi couldn't help but hear.
She slightly pursed her lips, gazing at Han Caiyun with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Cloud sister, if you were me, perhaps you would continue to resist in the Wang mansion, hiding your child with Master Wang from the world, and never see your family again for the rest of your life. Do you think that's better?"
"Haoyun, I consider you my sister, so I won't hold it against you for what you said. But how could you believe the rumors from outside? Besides, you're not me, how can you understand my situation? In this world, there's more than just love!"
She was angry, she couldn't stand the sarcastic tone of speech. This Han Caiyun looked young in age, but when speaking, it was like that kind of gossiping woman, really annoying.
Mrs. Han also stared at Han Caiyun, and Han Caiyun had no choice but to purse her lips and remain silent. Mrs. Han paused for a moment before looking at Han Caiwei and saying, "Wei'er, don't you really remember anything?"
Mrs. Han's voice was trembling, and the whole city of Beijing had spread after that wedding banquet, the eldest lady of the Han family, the concubine of the third prince's mansion, Mrs. Han, forgot everything, even her own mother didn't recognize her.
Han Caiwei didn't understand why this matter was brought up again, and shook her head in confusion: "Yes, I really don't remember what happened before. I wasn't lying to you guys."
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of broken bowls and tea cups came from the doorway. Everyone was stunned and looked towards the door, including Han Caiwei, who turned to see Shen Feibai, who was supposed to serve tea to Mrs. Han.
It's been so many days since we last met, and now this man is haggard beyond recognition.
Shen Fei Bai's voice was also trembling: "Wei Er... you, you really don't remember anything?"
He thought that she was just making excuses that day, and he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that she had said it with a heavy heart. When he learned that Hua Caiwei had also returned, he felt a thrill in his heart, and even fantasized that his Wei'er was still the same as before, unchanged in any way.
Who would have thought that today he still heard these words with his own ears, his heart was like the fragments on the ground, piece by piece, even the tip of his heart was aching.
