Spring Oriole's Song - Extra Chapter 2 08

Prince Anyang visited the Duke's mansion again, three days before Qi Shixiao and Ruying's wedding.
It was nearly dusk, and he was still wearing a black cloak and a hood, but he had come by carriage instead of on horseback.
He alighted from the carriage and stood by the door. A slender, white hand, painted with nail polish, reached out from inside the carriage and placed in his palm. He took that hand and helped a graceful woman out of the carriage.
The woman's face was covered by a thin veil, her jade-like features hidden behind it, and she and An Yang stood together, looking like a perfect couple.
The guards opened the gates of the Duke's mansion, and An Yang led the woman inside. They were immediately ushered into Qi Shangxiu's study.
Qi Shangxiu remembered that Ji Huai had said he wanted to bring an old friend to his door. He kept this in mind and stood up to greet Ji Huai when the servant led him in.
"Anyang." He stepped forward to greet her, and saw a woman stepping through the door behind Ji Huai. Her face was lightly veiled, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Uncle Qi." Ji Huai bowed and looked back at the woman behind him.
The woman was now standing beside him. She reached out and removed the thin veil from her face, curtsied to Qi Shangxiu, and said, "Duke, how have you been?"
"Miss Murong?!" Qi Shangxiu recognized her features immediately, but when she revealed her true face, he was shocked. "You! You..."
Yu, or as she may be called Murong Yu, smiled slightly and said, "The former heir is now a duke. Do you still remember me, your old friend?"
Qi Shangxiu was stunned for a few moments before saying, "It's been several years since we last met. I never thought I would have the chance to meet Miss Murong again."
He looked at Ji Huai, then at Madam Yu, and said, "Please come inside quickly."
The servant brought tea and snacks, then closed the study door and left.
Qi Shangxiu said, "I never imagined that the old friend Anyang was referring to was Miss Murong. How has Miss Murong been all these years?"
Yu said, "There is nothing worse than the destruction of my Murong clan. Perhaps you are doing well."
Qi Shangxiu could not bear to dwell on those heavy memories, so he could only say, "Miss Murong, what brings you back to the capital? If there is anything I can do for you, please speak freely, and I will do my best."
Lady Yu laughed again.
She was thirty-seven years old, as beautiful as a peach blossom, with a graceful and elegant demeanor, and an indescribable charm.
Qi Shixiang couldn't tell her age, nor could Qi Shangxiu, but he knew that she was only five or six years younger than him, and that his temples were already streaked with gray.
The Murong clan were originally kings of different surnames outside the Great Wall. Later, their direct descendants moved to the capital and changed their title from king to duke. By the time of Murong Yu's grandfather, they had become marquises.
By the time of Murong Yu's father's generation, the direct line of the family had been wiped out, all the male members had been killed, and the women and children had been driven out of the pass or entered into the brothels.
The Prince of Anyang protected Murong Yu by recruiting musicians from the Imperial Music Bureau into his palace, and raised her there. Five or six years later, he reported her sudden death to the court.
She fled far away, so why did she come back?
Madam Yu said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Duke. I have returned to the capital for the wedding of the Crown Prince."
"Xiao'er's marriage?"
"yes."
Seeing the smile in his eyes and brows, Qi Shangxiu figured it couldn't be anything serious, but he became even more curious: "Miss Murong?"
Madam Yu said, "Duke, I never imagined we would have such a connection. An Ruying is my daughter."
"This!" Qi Shangxiu was quite surprised again. "You mean the eldest daughter of the An family in Anyuan, Shanxi, whom Xiao'er married, is your daughter? Then..."
"Yes, she is my biological daughter. Back then, when I left the capital and went into hiding, I met An Qinglin, married him, and had a daughter named An Ruying."
Qi Shangxiu thought of his future daughter-in-law, who had not yet entered the family, and had been observing three years of mourning for her mother. He couldn't help but ask, "Why was it rumored before that you had already..."
Madam Yu said, "This matter has many twists and turns, and it's a long story."
