Xiaocha is the son of the house, at first she asked Xiaoxian some information about Xiaocha's father, according to Xiaoxian, Xiaocha's father died in his early years, and his mother also worked in the garden, and it seems that she is still a steward.

So Feng Jiwen was puzzled at first, but then she thought that there was probably something difficult that she needed her help with.

She nodded and motioned for Chacha to continue.

Xiaocha seemed to be a little nervous, lowered her head, her hanging hands were clenched in her sleeves, and she spoke after a while: "She asked the slave maid to tell the girl that everything back then was all her negligence, and she felt that she couldn't stand the girl, but she still wanted to ask for your forgiveness......"

Feng Jiwen was really dumbfounded now.

Listening to this, it seems that there are old things involved?

But at this point, Xiaoxian doesn't seem to have given her any popular science.

Looking at Xiao Cha, who didn't even dare to raise her head, Feng Jiwen was entangled for a moment, and then said noncommittally: "I know." ”

What else can she say besides this?

It's just that this sentence fell on Xiao Cha's ears, but a faint disappointment appeared in her heart.

Sure enough, the girl still doesn't want to forgive?

She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Feng Jiwen: "I'll talk about this matter another day, I still have some accounts to check here, you go down and guard it first." ”

It's only afraid that it will be too wrong to talk more, so it's better to wait until she understands the cause and effect of the matter.

Xiaocha took this as if she didn't want to hear the words related to the events of the year, thinking of the past, she said a little helplessly: "It's the slave who talks too much, and the slave shouldn't say this......"

After that, he knelt down with a thud, kowtowed, and said, "Please punish the slave and maid......

What the hell is this playing?

I can't keep up with the rhythm at all......

Feng Jiwen looked at Xiao Cha, who was kneeling there in a fog, reproaching herself, and said calmly: "You are not wrong, let's go down." ”

Forcibly cutting off the topic is the best policy.

Hearing this, Xiaocha only got up and saluted and retreated, but she still had a trembling expression, as if she had committed a very unforgivable mistake.

Feng Jiwen was full of suspicions.

"Girl, the hot water is ready, and the slave maid will wait for you to bathe. Fairy came in and said.

Feng Jiwen nodded, and waited until she lay down in the bathtub, leaving only Xiaoxian and a maid with water in the ear room, before she opened her mouth to ask about the doubts in her heart.

"I remember you told me that Xiaocha's mother was the housekeeper in the back garden, right?"

The fairy standing behind the bathtub was stunned when he heard this.

"Have you crossed paths with me before?" Feng Jiwen asked again.

Xiaoxian said hesitantly, "Why did the girl suddenly ask about this?"

As soon as Feng Jiwen heard this, she knew that there was really something inside, so she didn't answer and asked, "Just tell me what you know." ”

"The slave maid said, I'm afraid that the girl won't want to listen to ......"

The girl before was the most taboo to hear people talk about anything that happened during that time.

But I heard Feng Jiwen say: "Just say it." ”

Xiaocha came to her because of this matter, and it was no longer a question of whether she was willing to listen to it.

She insisted on asking, and Xiaoxian couldn't continue to hide it, so she could only say: "Although the slave maid had not yet entered the house to serve the girl, she had heard many times in the past two years...... Xiaocha's mother, Qin Yan, is indeed working as a housekeeper in the back garden now, but she was ...... before It's the girl, your nurse. ”

Feng Jiwen asked in astonishment, "My nurse is not Mama Gui?"

She always thought that Mama Gui was reused because she was Feng Jiwen's nurse.

"No...... Mama Gui is just a housekeeper. Qin Yan is the nurse who will raise your milk. ”

"Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

"Girl, you didn't ask......"

Feng Jiwen was silent for a moment with a complicated expression, and could only let her continue.

"Girl, before you were six years old, Qin Yan stayed by your side and served, but that year...... The old lady was killed in the field, and Qin Yan's husband was also killed in that accident, and there was a mess in the house at that time, Qin Yan may have been overly sad, and she couldn't take care of the girl for a while, and once because of her negligence, the girl accidentally fell into the big well in the front yard, and almost died because of it......"

Since then, the old lady no longer let Qin Yan serve the girl, she gave their mother and daughter a sum of money to let them out of the mansion, but Qin Yan didn't know why she didn't want to leave the Feng Mansion, and begged the old lady to be willing to stay in the mansion to be a rough mother-in-law. The old lady read that she had breastfed the girl, and then let them stay. ”

Because mentioning this matter will inevitably involve the situation when Feng Jiwen's parents died, Feng Jiwen has been very taboo towards Qin Yan Xiaocha's mother and daughter since then, although she did not deliberately embarrass her, she was unwilling to meet them again.

This is also the reason why Xiaoxian has never taken the initiative to talk to her about it, that is, she doesn't want her to think of those unhappy pasts.

But because Feng Jiwen is not the deity in the end, when I heard her talk about such causes and consequences at this time, although she was emotional, she didn't have too much sadness.

"The slave maid heard that Qin Yan is very skillful in dealing with people, she is a very capable person, even if she goes out of the mansion, she doesn't have to worry about her livelihood in the future, she could have used the money given by the old lady to do some small business and get a free body, but she has stayed in the Feng Mansion and is unwilling to leave......" Xiaoxian said this, and quietly glanced at Feng Jiwen's face.

The reason why Qin Yan was reluctant to leave the Feng Mansion was actually not difficult to guess.

is nothing more than feeling guilty about Feng Jiwen, or valuing feelings.

This can be seen from the sentence that Tong Guò relayed to Feng Jiwen on her behalf tonight, and she has been unable to let go of her mistakes over the years.

"Girl, after many years, don't be sad because of the past. Xiaoxian whispered comfortingly.

Feng Jiwen nodded and replied, "Hmm."

……

On the other side, Ding Ziyu was personally invited by Wang Shiying to Wang's Mansion as a guest.

On the banquet, Wang Lijun was forced by his father to pay compensation to Ding Ziyu face to face, that look of reluctance but had to give in, Ding Ziyu saw it in his eyes, helpless, and faintly felt very happy......

But as a scholar with weak strength, he knows his identity and situation very well, so for Wang Lijun's apology, he can only show an open-minded and even humble attitude that he is not guilty of in the past.

Wang Shiying was very relieved to see that he was so knowledgeable.

If this matter is really big, the impact on him is immeasurable.

After the banquet, Wang Shiying just let people send Ding Ziyu away, and he taught his eldest son a lesson.

"You unscrupulous son who only knows how to cause trouble for me! Do you know that after this trouble, you almost ruined the promotion opportunity that I had waited for for many years for my father!"

“…… How could I have expected that someone would find out, I just wanted to teach him a lesson, and it wasn't a big deal, besides, he was wearing cold clothes, and his father was afraid of what he would do?" Wang Lijun was deeply aggrieved because he was forced to apologize to a poor scholar.

"If it's just an ordinary winter coat, but no matter how bad he is, he is still a gentleman invited by Yinglian's mansion! With this relationship, if things are really big, how can they be suppressed?" Wang Shiying hated that iron could not become steel: "I can't understand such a shallow truth, and I don't know where all the things you have learned over the years have gone!"

With that, a loud slap was slapped.

The defenseless Wang Lijun staggered back two steps, noticed a tingling sensation on his cheeks, and looked at Wang Shiying with an angry face in shock and fear.

Although his father was not as doting on him as his mother, it was the first time that he had done it in front of so many subordinates.

"This matter is considered to be over for the time being, but if you dare to act recklessly and do such a thing that disregards the overall situation, don't think about exposing it so lightly today!"

Wang Lijun was embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack in front of his father, but after Wang Shiying left, he didn't have the courage to drop those ornaments and porcelain to get angry, so he only kicked down two chairs and walked out of the dining room angrily.

I didn't know that Ding Ziyu had staged such a play in the dining room after he left, and when he passed by a shallow pond in the garden of Wang's family, he faintly heard a burst of laughter mixed with scolding.

Listening attentively, like a girl's voice, Ding Ziyu didn't dare to look rude, so he could only hang his head a little more and walk forward with the servant who led the way.

It's just that my eyes don't look, but the sounds of a few conversations in my ears become clearer and clearer as my footsteps approach.

"Look at the third sister's embroidery, the stitches are becoming more and more detailed, and in next year's election, maybe you can stand out with this embroidery skill, and get the blue eyes of a noble person in the palace." ”

"Hey, I haven't heard of any master in the palace who is good at his embroidery skills, but it's just a lowly job that a subordinate can do. Wang Lizhu's face was full of disdain.

"Fourth sister...... How can you tell the truth?"

The rest of the younger girls in the gazebo giggled.

Wang Liyun sat at the round table, the corners of her mouth tightly pursed, and she never spoke.

Just because she was unwilling to flatter Wang Lizhu like other sisters, she was ostracized by the sisters in the house, and her ridicule and bullying were just commonplace. She has long been accustomed to this kind of life, as long as they don't do too much, she can always endure it again and again as her aunt explained.

Although Ding Ziyu didn't know what the situation was, he also knew the contradictions behind the group of children of big families, but it had nothing to do with him, so he still hung his head and moved forward.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

The person who came was anxious and panicked, and Ding Ziyu subconsciously avoided to the side.

The little maid lifted her skirt and ran quickly, without any calmness at all, and before she could get close to the gazebo in front of her, she shouted tremblingly: "Third Miss! Aunt Jing hanged herself...... Go back and see!"

The laughter in the pavilion came to an abrupt end.

In a moment, Ding Ziyu noticed that someone was running towards him, his steps staggered unsteadily, and when he passed by his side, he hit his injured shoulder hard.

Ding Ziyu subconsciously raised his head in fear, and a frightened and pale girl's face quickly passed by in his sight.

"Aunt Jing hanged herself?"

The other girls in the pavilion came back to their senses, and then they came out on chatter.

"Why did you hang yourself, it shouldn't be deliberately to scare people, right?"

"It's like, what's the fuss in the middle of the night?"

"Let's go and see!"

A few people hurriedly walked while talking, and when they came to Ding Ziyu, they saw that there was still a foreign man, just as a writer in the house, and saw him bowing his head and looking humble, so they didn't pay much attention.

After a few people walked away, Ding Ziyu raised his head.

Thinking of Fang Cai's fleeting face, which seemed faintly familiar, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Is it the young lady who apologized to him that day?

The lights in the remote corner of Wangfu Nanyuan flickered slightly, and the small courtyard was a mess.

There are few masters in the house who are really affected.

Wang Lijun listened, but he only sneered, and then took the little guy out of the house.

What he was most tired of was these things in the back house, and because he was scraped by Wang Shiying, he couldn't calm down, so he thought about going out of the house to find a 'clean place' to calm down.

The little guy followed behind him, and he didn't have to think about it, he knew that his grandfather must be going to go to Fireworks Alley to eat flower wine, and he didn't dare to talk much, so he just followed honestly.

It's just that he didn't walk a hundred or ten steps when he just left the house, but he saw Wang Lijun walking in front of him suddenly paused.

The alley between the two mansions is narrow and dim.

The quiet call of a woman came from the alley again.

"Wang Gongzi ......"

Wang Lijun vaguely heard someone shouting that he had just stopped, and now it turned out that it was not his hallucination, but the blind light and black fire couldn't help but feel a little afraid, moved a few steps to the bright place, and asked with his eyes: "Who is in the alley?"

The little guy behind him also looked at the entrance of the alley with a wary face.

Extremely light footsteps sounded, and a dark gray figure slowly walked out of the alley.

The other party was wrapped in a huge old cloak, but it was vaguely recognizable as a woman's figure.
