With blue bricks and black tiles and ebony ink characters, if you didn't say this was Ze Feng's Mansion, who would have known that it was the natal family of the current imperial concubine.

Concubine Xuan has not been back to the mansion for three years. A few years ago, she sent a palace servant to send Spring Festival gifts to Ze Fengduo. By the way, she sent a message to the family saying that she would not go home to visit relatives this year. The angry Mrs. Ze Feng stayed in bed for several days.

, Ze Fengduo is even more uninterested in taking care of the big and small affairs of the house. The house cannot do without his mother, who is in charge.

Ze Fengduo's first wife has been ill for more than ten years and has refused to remarry. This not only makes old Mrs. Ze Feng worried all day long, but even her younger sister, as a noble concubine, has to worry about her brother in the palace.

Concubine Xuan was used to living in the palace all day long. As soon as she stepped into the palace and saw the old furnishings, she suddenly felt sad. Her eyes were filled with decadence and there was no festive atmosphere at all. Then she thought about the once glorious Ze Feng.

House, making Concubine Xuan both sad and angry.

"The imperial concubine is back." Ze Fengduo and the old housekeeper were waiting to greet her. They were very happy because of Concubine Xuan's visit, especially Mrs. Ze Feng.

"Brother, why don't you even hang up a lantern during this big festival? Even if you don't care, you still have to think about your mother, tsk~tsk~"

When Concubine Xuan saw the old things in the house, she felt a mixture of nostalgia, regret and sadness, which made her nose suddenly sore, but she must not shed tears, "Besides, it's not like I didn't know that I was coming back... Bai

Someone told you in advance that I am not welcome, right?"

"Look what the imperial concubine said, I, our mother, and Linzi are all here, and Han'er will be here soon. Isn't it enough for people to reunite during the festival, especially since my mother has been looking forward to the imperial concubine for three years, and finally she is looking forward to her return. We are all very happy.

I miss you, why don't you say you are welcome?" Ze Fengduo is a very nostalgic person, he really doesn't want to go to great lengths to renovate and add new tiles, as long as the house is comfortable enough to live in.

So much so that what Ze Feng Mansion looked like twenty years ago is not much different now.

"How is mother?" Concubine Xuan was concerned. If she hadn't learned that the old lady was ill, she wouldn't have come back. Ze Fengduo never came into the palace to pay her respects on weekdays. Concubine Xuan simply couldn't come back because she was angry.

, but I can’t help but miss my elderly mother in my heart, especially as the old man is getting weaker and weaker every year.

"My mother is fine. She just drank the medicine and fell asleep. She heard yesterday that the imperial concubine was coming back and was so excited that she stayed up for half the night. She sleeps less as she gets older." Ze Fengduo sighed helplessly.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have sent someone to inform me first. I would have come back directly to give my mother a surprise. As a result, she still hasn't had a good night's sleep. Brother, I often give my mother the calming soup to drink on weekdays. It can replenish qi and calm the mind, and make the body weak and natural."

The blood is not flowing smoothly." Concubine Xuan said slightly reproachfully. She knew that Ze Fengduo was filial, but as a man and an important minister of the court, he was naturally very busy, so how could he devote all his thoughts to the old lady.

"That's what the noble concubine said." No matter what his sister said, Ze Fengduo would not refute it. He knew clearly the difficulties and hardships of being a noble concubine. Over the years, Concubine Xuan had contributed a lot to Ze Feng Mansion.

"Concubine, uncle, happy new year!" Shen Yihan brought the Duanmu sisters and brother as guests, mainly to show Yun Wan around her childhood garden.

Although this garden is not big and is not as big as the Jade Tea Garden in the palace, it is Shen Yihan's favorite in Zefeng Mansion. Especially in the flower blooming season, the jade teas blooming all over the courtyard are really beautiful.

"How do you do, Concubine Xuan? How do you do, Master Yushi? I wish you both prosperity and good health." After Yun Wan said her greetings, Yuchen also followed her sister's example and said hello obediently.

"Who are these two?" This was the first time Ze Fengduo saw these two siblings, and he was stunned for a long time.

"Descendants of the Duanmu family, my elder sister is the only daughter of Duanmu Chongze, and my younger brother is the only son of Duanmu Chongrun." Concubine Xuan said lightly. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Yun Wan for the first time.

"Uncle, how is grandma?" Shen Yihan asked anxiously.

"I'm sleeping, Han'er, don't worry. Your grandmother is in good health and is fine." Concubine Xuan comforted her patiently, "Take Yun Wan and the others to the mansion. I'll call you back later during the banquet.

.”

"The mother-in-law is so considerate. Han'er will come back as soon as she leaves." Shen Yihan has not been back to Ze Feng's Mansion for more than a year. She is very worried that the flowers will wither without careful care.

Concubine Xuan not only sent away the three juniors, but also kicked out the servants around her. She looked at the thoughtful Ze Fengduo and asked, "Do they look alike?"

"It's very similar." Ze Fengduo nodded frequently in agreement.

"I thought Kou Guiren was very similar, but I didn't expect this girl to be even more similar." As soon as Concubine Xuan mentioned Kou Guiren, her palms were filled with cold sweat. She had seen many people who had hanged themselves, but no one looked like Kou Guiren.

The ferocious appearance made her sick for several days.

But Yun Wan's appearance always reminds Concubine Xuan of that terrifying scene inadvertently, which is one of the reasons why Concubine Xuan doesn't like Yun Wan very much.

"Is it just a coincidence that we are so similar to Ling'er?" All the memories of Ling'er in Ze Fengduo's heart came to life.

"Brother, if you have time, check it out secretly. No matter it's a coincidence or not, it's better to be prepared." Concubine Xuan has no one else to turn to except her brother, so she can't ask the emperor to investigate in person, right? Some things are past, even if they are past.

Don't even say a few words about it even if it's rotten in your stomach.

Hidden smiles, not daring to read, silent and affectionate, not wanting to speak. Overgrown with weeds, no one cares, who knows Yifeng Mountain?
