Chapter 437 The Family (Part One)


    Lady Hua Guo was silent for a moment before she continued, "I have several sons, but I have only one


    daughter. She is the apple of my eye. I doted on her ever since she was just a little baby. I didn''t want


    her to join the imperial household at first, but she was chosen by herself. The emperor has also


    promised us that he will keep his promise as she is the only one in the imperial household. And he did


    it. But she was still very young. She died before she even reached twenty years old. "


    Tears welled up in Lord Hua Guo''s wife''s eyes. Yun Shang hurriedly held her hands in hers and said,


    "grandmother..."


    "When I knew Qingyan''s existence, I was so happy. I thought since Qingyan had survived, Ling''er


    should also be fine too." Lady Hua Guo shook her head and said, "Well, it''s in the past. I''m fine. I''ve


    epted the fact for a long time."


    Yun Shang opened her mouth to say something, she wanted to tell her that Hua Ling was still alive, but


    finally she swallowed it down.


    Lady Hua Guo stood up and said, "let''s go. Your grandfather ising back soon. Let''s wait him in the


    garden house. Your aunts, uncles and cousins are all here. They must be happy to see you, but


    unfortunately... "


    Yun Shang knew what she meant, but unfortunately the prince wasn''t there. Yun Shang thought for a


    while and said with a smile, "grandmother, I have a way to ask Prince Rui toe here."


    "What is it?" Lady Hua Guo''s eyes lit up and she looked at Yun Shang like a child.


    Yun Shang smiled, "it''s easy. I can stay in the mansion to apany youter."


    Lady Hua Guo meditated for a moment and knew Yun Shang''s n. She giggled and said, "you just


    arrived at the Jin City, but Qingyan is already famous for loving you. Since you haven''t returned home


    at night, he muste here to look for you. All right, that''s a good n. Then we can have a chat with


    each other. "


    Yun Shang followed Lady Hua Guo into the garden house, and saw severaldies chatting in the


    garden. Some children, whom she had seen in her yard before, were ying games around them,


    Then Lady Hua Guo led Yun Shang in, and all eyes were fixed on Yun Shang.


    "This must be Lady rui. She is really good-looking. No wonder it is said that Prince rui dotes on his wife


    so much. If I had such a beautiful wife, I would have definitely doted on her as well." A middle-aged


    woman about 40 years old looked at Yun Shang for a moment, and giggled.


    Lady Hua Guo eximed, "Nonsense!" But in fact she didn''t me her but indulged her. "This is your


    youngest aunt. The one who sat in front of her is your oldest aunt and your second aunt."


    Yun Shang said yes, walked to the three women and bowed to them politely. They hurriedly handed


    over some jewels to Yun Shang. The woman in the lead said with a smile, "you are a princess consort,


    and it''s our turn to salute you. But since you are our youngster, we will ept it. This is a greeting gift


    for you."


    Yun Shang took them over with a smile on her face. Her oldest aunt, Lady Xu, introduced several


    Just as she knew the woman in the room, Lord Hua Guo stepped in the room, followed by several men.


    As Lord Hua Guo saw Yun Shang, his eyes lit up. He looked around the room, but then frowned again.


    "Why are you here?"


    Before Yun Shang could reply,dy Hua Guo snorted, "don''t talk to her like that. The other day you had


    been ming them for noting to our mansion now that they has arrived in the city, but they didn''t.


    now Shang''er is here, why do you have to drive her away?"


    Lord Hua Guo''s face flushed crimson with embarrassment at her wife''s words. He sat down beside his


    wife, and stopped talking.


    "Come here, darling. This beautifuldy who looks like a celestial being isdy rui." Lady Lin, Yun


    Shang''s youngest aunt, began to mor. Yun Shang turned to the men who followed Lord Hua Guo


    before, and walked up and bowed to them. "Good evening, my uncles and cousins."


    "Good to see you." The man in the lead was her oldest uncle, who was older than others. With a smile,

    he said, "I saw you at the royal banquetst time. But the women and the men were separated, and we


    both sat silently and said nothing to each other."


    Lady Hua Guo ordered her servants to serve the dishes. Yun Shang was held by her by the hand, and


    sat next to her. The people in the mansion were all amiable. They asked Yun Shang something about


    the state of Ning, and introduced the situation in the mansion to her. Yun Shang heard their words and


    smiled. She had investigated the mansion before.


    After dinner, Lady Hua Guo held Yun Shang''s hand and chatted with her in the garden house. The


    others didn''t leave, and stayed in the garden house.


    "Your Majesty said you are good at chess. Come and y with me." After ying with his great


    grandson for a while, Lord Hua Guo looked up at Yun Shang and said.


    Yun Shang smiled and said yes. When the servant came with the chessboard, she sat down beside it.


    The others rushed to them. Yun Shang was surprised, but when she saw the sympathy in the eyes of


    her aunts and uncles, she thought for a moment and became more confused.


    But soon Yun Shang knew why they were all so excited, because Lord Hua Guo was very fond of


    repentance.


    "No no no, you can''t get down here." As soon as Yun Shang put down the piece, Lord Hua Guo quickly


    took up the piece she had just put down and said, "get down here instead." He pointed to another ce


    as he spoke.
