Chapter 82 Sisters
Chapter 82 Sister
Regarding Baoya's words to come often, Cao Yong just listened to the rules in the royal palace. Even if there is no elder control, a princess can't walk outside every day.
When Baoya saw Cao Yong laughing and not answering, she knew that he didn't take it seriously. She didn't say much. Instead, she looked at Cao Yi and said, "The third sister is 70% similar to her sister-in-law. No wonder she is the same mother and sister!" When she said this, she felt something was wrong, so she turned to Cao Yong and said, "Cao Yong, you are fifteen, and the third sister is fifteen, so it's a twin?" After asking, she shook her head: "No, no, I just asked the third sister that she was born in the twelfth lunar month, half a year younger than Cao Yong!"
Cao Yong didn't expect Baoya to ask this question suddenly, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while. Cao Yi's face became paler, and his hands holding the chess piece began to tremble slightly.
Seeing that both brother and sister were silent, Baoya still asked with confusion, "If it weren't for twins, then what was going on?"
The atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing. When Cao Yong saw that his sister was not in good shape, he was a little annoyed by the unrestrained little princess, but he knew that this little white had always been careless and was afraid that even if you blamed her, she would not think that she had made any mistake.
Cao Yi looked at his brother, then looked at Baoya, who was confused, and suddenly a very faint smile appeared. He said seriously: "I was originally a concubine of the second wife. My biological mother left early, so my mother took me to the big house to raise him. He is not twins with my brother."
Cao Yi's words hit Cao Yong's heart like a big hammer - how could this girl know this?! When did she know the truth...?!
Baoya didn't care about anything that was born from a legitimate child, but heard Cao Yi say that his biological mother had gone early, which caused some sympathy. She took two steps forward, took Cao Yi's hand, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, it reminds my sister of sad things! My mother went too early, we are all children who are not loved by mothers, and they are usually pitiful!" As she spoke, her eyes were already red.
Over the past month, Cao Yi was no longer used to being close to outsiders like this. When his hands trembled, he was about to pull out his hands. However, seeing Baoya's crying look, he couldn't help but relax his nerves again. He let her hold his hand, but he did not agree with her words. He turned his face gently and whispered: "I don't have pity, my mother and brother love me!"
Baoya nodded suddenly and smiled: "The third sister said very well! Baoya was wrong. Baoya was not that pitiful person, - Ama loved me the most during her lifetime. It was because Ama had been there for the past few years, and she had a good brother and sister-in-law who loved me!"
Cao Yi looked like Baoya was laughing and crying, and her heart softened. She silently pulled out a handkerchief from her cuffs and gently wiped her.
Cao Yong was full of questions, but because he could not ask in front of Baoya, he had to force him to suppress him.
There were chaotic footsteps outside the house. I heard the sound of talking, it was Amethyst who was back.
The one who accompanied Amethyst into the house was Baoya's maid Lingque. She was from the capital and grew up in the royal palace. She also had some knowledge of the clothes and materials that were popular among the ladies in the capital, so Amethyst asked her to help.
Seeing Cao Yong present, Lingque bent down and said, "Uncle Yong!" After getting up, she found tears on Baoya's face. She didn't know what the master was doing, and she wanted to persuade him but couldn't tell me. She had to stand behind the master and keep silent, and didn't dare to look at Cao Yong.
Baoya just now shed tears when she remembered Ama's mother and was so excited that she felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her eyes, said a few polite words to Cao Yong and his sister, then got up and said goodbye.
Cao Yi followed the rules to send Baoya to the second door. Baoya smiled and said what to do next time, before leaving. Looking at Baoya's lonely and stubborn back, Cao Yi seemed to have thoughtfulness and stood there silently for a long time until Azure softly coaxed her to go back, and then moved back to the room.

When Cao Yong came back, he saw Cao Yi leaning on the kang, holding his jade pendant in his hand, rubbing it repeatedly, and just lowering his head and not talking.
Cao Yong hesitated for a while and asked, "Ping'er, where did you hear what you said about the second wife just now?"
Cao Yi didn't say anything for a long time, but after a while, he raised his head and said something nonsense: "Brother, I'm hungry!"
Cao Song happened to go back to the yard and change his clothes. When he heard Cao Yi's words, he replied, "I'm hungry too!"
After Cao Song entered the mansion, he lived in Huaiyuan next to Cao Yong. Because he was still young and didn’t have so many taboos, he just had a meal in Cao Yong’s yard.
Cao Song sat down and said with regret: "I originally told my brother Balu that he had agreed to stay at our house for dinner. He would try his skills with me after the meal. He didn't want that princess and insisted on going back, so Brother Balu followed him!" Then he was a little angry, "That stinky girl is really annoying. I'm not a woman, what kind of skin I want!"
Cao Yong couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
Just now, Baoya saw Cao Song in the front hall and knew that it was Cao Yong's brother, she blurted out: "You are not as beautiful as your brother!"
Because Cao Yong met Baoya for the first time, Baoya praised him for his good looks, and thought that the little girl would only pay attention to these things, so she just smiled.
Cao Song was so angry that his face turned blue, and his fists were clenched tightly. It was just because of the rules that he saw that the other party was a little girl, so it was not easy to collide with.
He considered himself a hero and a good master in fist and foot skills. Now he was pulled by a little girl about his appearance, so he was naturally frustrated. He muttered several times along the way. When he remembered it, he felt angry, so he couldn't help but curse.
Cao Yi didn't pay attention to what they said, but saw an object hanging under Cao Song's belt, which was shining brightly, and he couldn't help but take a look.
Cao Song cursed and found that his sister's eyes were staring at the Mongolian knife he had just obtained from Sukhbaru on his waist. He quickly took it off and handed it over with both hands: "Three sisters, look, this is a real Mongolian knife, which Brother Baru gave it to me!"
Cao Yi took it, tilted his head and looked at the decorative objects on it carefully.
"Sister Three, is this treasure very good?" Cao Song asked with his eyes brightly, "Can you give it to you? Look, the little stones on it are bright enough!"
Cao Yi looked at Cao Song with a serious look, smiled slightly, shook his head, and handed the Mongolian knife back: "You can only use it if you practice martial arts, so where can I use it?"
In the past half a month, Cao Song could count it with one hand when he heard her talk, but there were not many words in this sentence. Because he thought she was good, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and didn't take it back. He said happily: "Slice an apple and eat a pear. I occasionally want to do it yourself. Isn't it just right to use this? Also, my brother said, one day, will it be better to make the roast lamb leg on the grassland for us? Isn't it appropriate to use this to cut it?"
Seeing that Cao Song did not answer, Cao Yi put the Mongolian knife on the table in front of him: "This is given to you by someone else, it is not appropriate to just hand it over to me like this!"
Cao Song quickly waved his hand and pushed the knife over: "It's okay, Brother Baru is the most generous, he is not that kind of stingy."
Seeing Cao Song's anxious look, Cao Yi said, "Then I won't accept this, it's too big. If I really want to give it to me, I'll just buy a small one from outside one day!"
Cao Song also played with Cao Yi since he was a child, and he had a good relationship. These days, because of his parents, he was afraid that Cao Yi would not like him, so he wanted to give her a Mongolian knife to make her happy. Seeing that she treated her as usual, he felt relieved and said something else happily. For a moment, he didn't think about how Cao Yi's spirit was better.
After dinner, when Cao Yong mentioned the second wife to Cao Yi again, she still vaguely avoided it. Cao Yong saw that she didn't want to mention this topic, so he had to put his doubts in his heart.
The next morning, Prince Ping, Fujin, sent someone to Cao's mansion to take over several younger brothers and sisters. Because Cao Yi was weak, Fujin kept her there in the palace for treatment, but Cao Yi politely refused - Fujin had not yet passed the confinement period, and everything was inconvenient.
Cao Yong had only two days off in the study room, and after the holiday was over, he started a two-point and one-minute life. He originally wanted to write a memorial to ask for leave, but the procedures were complicated. Seeing that Cao Yi had improved day by day since he returned from Prince Ping's Mansion, his face became more energetic, so he felt relieved and left with only some confusion.
In the end, Cao Yong couldn't help it, so he went to Pingjun Prince's Mansion after school one day, visited his sister, and asked how his sister cured Cao Yi's heart disease.
After hearing his younger brother's question, Cao Jia said that after receiving the letter from Cao's mansion, she only knew that Cao Yi was in a bad state and did not know that there were anything wrong with him. After Baoya came back that day, she only said that the third sister's body was very thin and there was nothing else.
When Cao Yi came over, she looked a little dazed. Cao Jia thought Cao Yi was just depressed because of Cao Shun's affairs, so she couldn't help but feel relieved. No one would have thought that a little Jingba could make such a disaster, and her fate was impermanent, so where could he blame others? If he thought it was a sin of a person, it was Cao Yong's fault. Who asked him to send his sister to her? He just sent this puppy! He said Cao Yi a few more words with a little blame, making himself so haggard. He really sorry for his mother and Cao Yong. When something happened at home, when a daughter was supposed to comfort her parents well, how could he get sick and make her parents worry? He also told her that Cao Yong's hard work in the capital, so that she cheered up and got better quickly, so that her brother would worry about her again.
In the next half day, Baoya pulled Cao Yi and went to his yard to play chess. As for what private conversations the two talked about, Cao Jia did not know.
After hearing what my sister said, Cao Yong vaguely understood what was going on.
Cao Yi was originally very anxious and worried that Cao Shun's family would blame her for her family. Now everyone treats her as usual, so they are much more at ease. This little guy must be reflecting on his own faults, thinking that he should not be depressed, which makes his mother sad and makes his brother worry. She is such a kind and considerate girl, and she is extremely soft-hearted.
Baoya, as she said a few days ago, often visited and often took Cao Yi and Cao Song's sisters to Beijing to stroll around. When they met a good restaurant, everyone ate outside. Cao Song was a little dissatisfied with Baoya because Baoya chose his appearance. Later, he saw that Baoya was also a person who was a happy person, so he didn't care. He was very comfortable now, and he went to class in early November and was in his spare time.
Although Baoya was following her guards in the palace, Cao Yong did not expect them to have any good skills. What they relied on was the identity of the palace. If they met a gangster who was not open to their eyes, they might not be able to protect everyone. In case of precautions, Cao Yong asked the Wei brothers to temporarily protect their younger brothers and sisters.
After half a month, Cao Yi's face turned rosy and his body was no longer so thin. After seeing it, Cao Yong couldn't help but want to check whether the food in the mansion was really worse than outside. He mentioned it privately with Amethyst, but Amethyst was ridiculous and said that the Book of Rites said that "the heart is wide and fat" and the ancients really did not deceive me.
If life is always calm, there will be no so-called story, and peace will eventually be broken.
