"Come in. Zhao Yulan began to pack up all her things and closed the door of the store.

Mama Qin and Mama Zhang followed her into the inner courtyard and then into the inner room.

"Mama Qin, who are you?" Zhao Yulan beckoned the two to sit on a few sons.

"You're a peony girl, aren't you?" Mama Qin said.

"Yes. Who are you?" Now that she has decided to face it, Zhao Yulan no longer avoids these questions.

"I was rewarded by Concubine De the year before last to serve the old lady closely. So it's normal that you haven't seen it. This is the jade pendant that the old lady asked me to show you, saying that it belongs to the second aunt and grandmother, you should be able to understand it when you read it. Mama Qin introduced herself first. Zhao Yulan took the jade pendant, looked at it and handed it back to Mama Qin. She could recognize it at a glance, it was the first gift that the second aunt and grandmother were rewarded for meeting the emperor that year, and she gave it to the old lady after returning to the door, and the old lady has always offered it in the ancestral hall. Because Zhao Yulan was in charge of Wuya Bingfeng's small warehouse back then, it was naturally certain.

"We stumbled upon Miss Ki being outcast. The old lady was furious. Although you are not a child of the family, but when you sold yourself to the mansion, the old lady and the second aunt and grandmother have always been very good to you, and as a slave, you can also be rewarded and returned to the slave, you should know how great a grace this is. Seeing that Zhao Yulan had confirmed her identity, Mama Qin really began to ask.

"I know. So I'm willing to do my best for Miss, no matter what happens, Miss will always be my Miss. Zhao Yulan thought of Wuya Bingfeng and couldn't cry.

"Can we know what happened back then? Why did you take Miss Qi back to Sichuan? Let Miss Qi go out of the house, you know how wrong it is. And wasn't Miss Qi sick back then?Is she sick now, or is there something else?" Mama Qin was also very straightforward.

"Back then," Zhao Yulan fell into memory. "After the young lady entered the Duke's Palace, because of the concubine De Niangniang, she has been living a relatively happy life. It's just that later, after the Duke accepted Mrs. Ru, the Duke became a lot less interested in the young lady. For example, Madame is very favored by the Duke, and at the beginning she was humble to the young lady, but later she became more and more excessive, and she became more and more disrespectful to the young lady. The Duke spends half of his month in the Lady's room. When I got married, I was worried about Miss, but there were still narcissus at the time. Later, I heard Narcissus say that after Miss became pregnant, she changed her normal behavior and was very kind to Miss, and often went to Miss's courtyard to make food for Miss. ”

"When I gave birth to Miss Qi, it is said that because of the cold weather, Miss slipped by the pool and gave birth prematurely. Miss's body has suffered a big loss, and Miss Qi's body has not been very good. The medicine never stopped. And the young lady did not survive the winter of that year. After the death of the young lady, it is said that Miss Qi was sent to Bezhuang because her body needed to recuperate. I rushed over and couldn't make it to the funeral of the young lady. And there was no way to see Miss Qi, so I asked around, only to find that the people around Miss were either sold or disappeared, I don't know why. It wasn't until I heard that Narcissus was in Bessho that I secretly passed. After seeing Narcissus, Narcissus had just given birth not long ago, and she was also a daughter, and she accompanied Miss Qi all the way to Beizhuang. ”

Narcissus said that although there was no shadow of Mrs. Ru in the matter of Miss Wrestling at that time, she always felt that Mrs. Ru was wrong, and suspected that Mrs. Ru did it, but there was no evidence. And what really made Narcissus suspicious was that Miss Qi had been in poor health, and someone from the Duke's Mansion brought medicine every day. But then one day, Miss Qi kept throwing up, and Narcissus secretly asked Miss Qi to stop taking the medicine for two days, but unexpectedly, Miss Qi seemed to be in better health. Later, Narcissus secretly stopped Miss Qi's medicine, and Miss Qi got better day by day. This shows that someone has done something to Miss Qi's medicine. ”

Narcissus said that they were all locked up in another village and could not go out at all. The family also sent someone to see Miss Qi, but in the end, she was sent away by Mrs. Ru with a few words, and went home to say that Miss Qi stayed in Beizhuang safely, but her body was not good. We feared that Miss Ki would be killed in the end, so as soon as we had made it up, I took Miss Ki out, first with Narcissus' child, and then Narcissus wrote to me that it would take ten days for her to arrange for a servant to act as a human trafficker, as if Miss Ki had been stolen. After that, in order to ensure Miss Qi's safety, we never sent a letter again. ”

"Why don't you send Miss Qi home?" Mama Qin was a little relieved.

"I'm actually very afraid, I think Mama, when you come out of the palace, you should understand what I'm afraid of. I just want Miss's children to live safely. I didn't think much of it at the time. "For the intrigue of the big family, life and death, it is indeed true that everyone who is a subordinate deeply agrees.

"I will report these things to the old lady, and how you will deal with them may only have to wait for the old lady to arrange. Mama Qin sighed. "However, at least Miss Qi is healthy and lively now, and I will explain this to the old lady. After all, you are still loyal to the Wuya family. ”

"Thank you, Mama Qin. But I've been apprehensive all these years, and no matter how the old lady punishes me, I can accept it. Even if it costs my life, I will not have any complaints about the kindness of Miss to me back then. Zhao Yulan said.

"Alas, miss, I'm going to take it back. Don't worry, since the old lady knows about this, she will naturally defend Miss Qi. Don't worry, there's Concubine De on it. Mama Qin told Zhao Yulan with certainty.

Zhao Yulan only nodded. It wasn't up to her to decide what to do.

"Well, it seems to me that you haven't talked to Miss Qi about this matter these days. You talk to Miss Qi about this tonight, and get ready, and I'll come back tomorrow." Zhao Yulan nodded.

Zhou Chungui and the three of them came back at the beginning of the unitary period.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?Why don't you have a bad face?What's wrong with your eyes?Is something happen?" Ying Qi came back and saw Zhao Yulan's eyes red.

"I have something to talk about, I'll talk to you later. I'll talk to your dad first. Zhao Yulan touched Yingqi's little head, and then beckoned Zhou Chungui into the inner courtyard.

"Chungui, Wu Ya's family has found it. Zhou Chungui paused when he heard this.

"They all know?" Zhou Chungui said.

"Well, it's from the young lady's family, and the old lady already knows about it. The duke's side probably doesn't know yet. But they want to take the little lady back, and it is estimated that sooner or later they will also send it back to the duke's house. What should I do? Miss is still so young. Zhao Yulan stroked her forehead with a little headache.

"Don't be afraid, Magnolia. Zhou Chungui thought for a while and said, "Look, Sister Qi, no, the little lady is so smart, isn't it?" And the reason why we brought her back back back was mainly because we were afraid of the Duke's family, and second, we went to the young lady's house at that time, but we couldn't get in touch. Now that the old lady has taken the initiative to find her, they should protect her, and I will also contact the guards and brothers in the mansion again, and ask them to try their best to find a way to take care of the little lady. Also, I remember some time ago, do you remember the brothers Dabao and Xiaobao? At that time, Dabao, who was personally received by the prefect, was very respectful. It seems that he also said that he was going to return to the capital. He left me a jade pendant, didn't he, let's go and beg him to see if we can find a way to take care of the little lady. You know, the families in the capital are all intertwined and related to each other, so maybe they can help in some way. ”

"Hmm. It's just that I can't bear the little lady. She's still so young. Zhao Yulan was a little uncomfortable. "And this time we brought the little lady back privately, even if the old lady no longer punishes me because I have been discharged, it is impossible for me to return to the little miss. ”

"It's okay, you have to trust the little lady. I really believe that Miss Xiao can handle it. She was five years old. I'll be six years old soon, no problem. "Men are naturally more rational in their thinking.

"Let's get out. So the two went out together, and Ying Qi, Fu Yi and Xue Yun were waiting for them in the courtyard.

"Yi Wazi, Qi Mei'er, Xueyun, let me tell you. Xueyun also followed Qi Mei'er when she arrived. Zhou Chungui summoned the three of them over and talked about it carefully.

"Little Miss, it's all bad for peonies, so you haven't really enjoyed the life of Miss Everyone's in the past few years. But I was really scared. Zhao Yulan cried and said.

Ying Qi was quite speechless about things so sudden, no wonder she always felt that something was wrong.

"Dad, mother, don't blame yourself. You and Aunt Narcissus saved my life and raised me, and it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I blame you. Ying Qi threw herself into Zhao Yulan's arms.

"Mother, do I really have to go back? Can't I not go back? I just want to live with you like this. I don't want to be a big lady. Ying Qi pouted. What about Miss Duke, it's not like she was almost killed, it's better to live a plain life in the people's house.

"Little Miss, the old lady, that is, your grandmother, has already found you, and she must have come to us without a doubt. We do not have the right to refuse and cannot refuse. You are originally a duke and a lady, so you should enjoy the dignity of a young lady. Zhou Chungui shook his head and denied Ying Qi.

"Dad, are you really, are you willing to give me up?"

"Of course I can't bear it, but, little miss, this is not something we can decide. In the future, maybe we won't even be able to look at you. However, don't worry, I've already thought about it, and then we'll sell this store, and if we don't make some money in the past six months, we'll move our whole family to the capital, so that we can open a small shop, and maybe we will be able to see you secretly. And if Yi Wazi really gets into the Xiucai exam and the Jinshi exam, we will be able to see you in a bright and bright way. I've been thinking about this for a long time. Zhou Chungui really thinks long-term.

"Dad, you're really, well, everything. Ying Qi was rather speechless.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard, and when I am admitted to the Jinshi and become a senior official, I will take you back to my house, and you must not be worse than the Duke's family." Fu Yi was originally sad, but when he heard his father's arrangement, he immediately patted his chest and agreed proudly.

"Okay. Come to think of it, that's fine. It's good for my brother. It is impossible to stay, and it is impossible for my father and mother to go with me, and my brother's future is also very important. "After all, if Zhao Yulan becomes a slave of the Ying Qi family again, then it will be impossible for Fu Yi to go to school. The imperial court forbade the children and grandchildren of slave nationality to take the examination.
