Xiao Qian hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Madame stayed in her room for a long time today, and she went to the young lady's room in the afternoon." ”

Han Zitong was stunned: "What did she do in my room?"

Xiao Qian said softly: "Madame went over and asked us for the records of all the big and small events in the house that Miss has dealt with over the years, as well as the keys to the account room, and some of the seals have been taken." When we came in just now, we heard that Madame had called several of the housekeepers to her courtyard. ”

“……”

Han Zitong's eyes flickered, his throat shook, and he lowered his head.

I sat next to me, my face darkening slightly.

Unexpectedly, Han Ruoshi's movements were so fast, as soon as Han Zitong said that she didn't care about anything, she immediately took away all the things in her hands, and asked those in charge to go to her yard, so naturally they also listened to her.

This Jinling Mansion is really going to "change hands" now.

Han Zitong was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "Yes......"

Xiao Qian nodded lightly and looked at her cautiously: "Miss......"

“……”

"You and the eldest lady - you and the lady, after all, are still sisters......"

“……”

"What's the one that's hard to say to your face?"

Han Zitong didn't answer her, she didn't even raise her head, I only saw her gloomy low eyelashes trembling slightly, and I could always see her eyes full of light in the blink of an eye, but she kept gritting her teeth and insisting that it didn't flow out.

After being silent for a while, she smiled and said sourly, "Now, what else can you say?"

“……”

"What else is there to say?"

“……”

As she spoke, the whole person was a little depressed, like a puppet without a soul, and slowly picked up the dishes and chopsticks to pick up the rice in her mouth, not even eating any food. That Xiaoqian is also a clever girl with sharp teeth, at this time, when she saw her own young lady like this, she was so distressed that her eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, but she didn't know what to say or how to persuade, after all, not everyone can solve this matter.

I sat opposite, glanced at her gently, and motioned to her not to disturb, at this time, it is best to let Han Zitong cry.

That Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment, and finally retreated silently.

I sat there motionless, just watched Han Zitong holding the bowl, her mouth stuffed with rice, wolf bèi and pitiful, for a while, a tear came out of her eyes, and it fell into the rice bowl with a click.

The sourness that is full of feelings, after all, only she can taste it.

|

That night, because Xiaoqian and they cleaned up another room and sent the outside bedding and utensils, Han Zitong didn't sleep with me, I lay alone on the wide bed, listening to the low sobbing sound from the other room, I could only sigh.

It was dark until dawn.

This time, Han Zitong didn't wake up so early, probably because she cried too late last night, I got up and finished freshening up, only to see her come out, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, as soon as she saw me, she also knew, I didn't say anything about it.

When Xiaoqian and the others brought breakfast in, and the two of us sat down to eat, I picked up the porridge bowl and stirred it with a spoon, and then looked up at her: "What are you going to do today?"

She was stunned for a moment and looked up at me: "You ask me?"

"Hmm. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Could it be that it's the same as me, what do I do, what do you do? Do you really plan to spend it here like this?"

Her face darkened, and she lowered her head to look at the bowl of porridge in front of her: "I don't want to consume it, I just—"

I saw that she was also having a hard time speaking, so I interrupted her and said with a smile: "I just want to say, no matter what you think, but there are things that are not as simple as you can lose if you want to." ”

She looked at me, "What do you mean?"

I smiled and didn't speak, and lowered my head and took a sip of porridge.

After breakfast, Xiao Qian and the others had just removed all the dishes on the table, and after leaving for a while, they ran back again, Han Zitong was about to sit on the couch and continue to read quietly like me, when he saw her running back panting, he immediately frowned: "What's wrong?"

Xiaoqian stood at the door: "Second Miss, the eldest lady is here!"

"What?!"

"Madame, Madame is here. ”

Han Zitong's hand shook, the book fell to the ground, and she stood up: "She's here?"

I also stood up from the window, looked out, and sure enough, I saw from a distance on the other side of the path, Han Ruoshi took a few of her maidservants and servants to this side.

Suddenly, the quiet inner courtyard suddenly became lively.

Han Zitong and I both walked to the door together, seeing that Han Ruoshi also walked to the open space in front of the door, facing us, and the two girls also followed closely behind her, obviously after what happened last night, and now that Han Zitong is in the inner courtyard again, they are not so stubborn to prevent Han Ruoshi from coming in, so when we look at each other, both of them are a little hesitant: "Miss Yan......"

I waved my hand gently.

At this time, Han Zitong's face was already pale, and he looked at his sister at the bottom of the steps, and his throat was trembling for a long time: "Sister, ......"

Compared to her excitement and vulnerability, Han Ruoshi was much colder, and waved her sleeves lightly: "Don't call me that, I can't stand it." ”

“……”

"I don't know what you mean by this 'sister'!"

“……”

Han Zitong looked at her, his eyes full of pain.

I stood motionless next to me, originally a pair of twin sisters who supported each other, even their looks were the same, and the only thing they could rely on in heaven and earth was each other, but now, they were completely hostile. Speaking of hostility, in fact, Han Zitong is not hostile to his sister, after all, it is difficult to change a person's temperament from childhood to adulthood, but as a younger sister, she has protected her sister for half her life, and it is not something that can be completely reversed in a while.

But Han Ruoshi is different.

This call of "sister" and "sister" is a nightmare in the hearts of many women.

No wonder now, she is so sensitive to her sister's name.

She sneered again: "I can't afford your 'sister' either." ”

Han Zitong's whole body was trembling, as if someone was stabbing her in the chest with an invisible knife.

The people around him didn't dare to take a breath at this time, Han Ruoshi stood there coldly, and said, "I have something to tell you." ”

“……”

"Irrelevant people, let them all step down!"

She didn't even look at me when she said this, but the people around her all looked at me.

The irrelevant person -- the most irrelevant person here, of course, is me.

This means that I should be avoided.

I smiled and didn't say anything, so I obediently turned around and walked out, and the two girls hurriedly followed, and said softly, "Miss Yan, are you really so evasive?"

"When two sisters talk, it's not a problem for me to be there. ”

While talking and walking out, the handmaidens and servants brought by Han Ruoshi also came out, but they stood at the gate of the inner courtyard, which became their place, and others didn't dare to come in casually.

The two girls looked at me: "Miss Yan, where are you going?"

I smiled and said, "Let's just walk around this house." ”

They nodded, and followed me across the bridge and outside.

As before, we walked around the house, and when the servants who passed by saw us, their eyes looked very strange, and they only hurriedly said hello, and ran away, without talking to me much. I was bored, and slowly walked under the big tree where I met Ao Jiayu that day.

But today, there is no such cute person in colorful clothes standing on it.

I walked under the tree, and as soon as I stood still, I suddenly heard a shouting from the other side of the courtyard gate, which should be the courtyard where the Ao brothers and sisters lived.

"Why?!I don't believe Daddy would do that, he's—"

This voice, is it Ao Jiayu?

I was stunned for a moment, but when I listened carefully, it was really her voice, as crisp and moving as I had heard before, but at this time it was completely different from the happy tone before.

Is it?

My heart tightened, and I subconsciously glanced at the two girls behind me out of the corner of my eye, and the two of them followed me a few steps away, but their ears were stronger than mine, and they obviously heard them. The faces of the two people sank for a moment, and then they immediately stepped forward: "Miss Yan, should we go back?"

Just as they were saying this, Ao Zhi's voice of bitter persuasion came from inside, and he was faintly heard saying, "Father originally had a two-handed arrangement...... Since I don't ...... Then you have to take responsibility......"

My heart skipped another beat.

And the two girls had already urged again: "Miss Yan, let's go back." ”

I was a little embarrassed, and I originally planned to listen to it more, at least to know if something happened that I expected, but obviously after the night before yesterday, Xie Feng had an explanation for the two girls, and don't let me know about the actions in this house for the time being, let alone let me participate too much.

After all, Han Zitong's incident, Xie Feng must already be suspicious of me.

I thought about it, turned around with a smile and said "Okay", and just as I was about to leave, my feet staggered, and I tripped over the bare roots of the big tree, and I fell to the ground.

"Ouch!"

The two girls were startled by me and hurriedly ran over to help me: "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you fall and get hurt?"

I knelt on the ground, frowned, reached out and touched my ankle, and said, "Like, twist it." ”

"What? Wait, I'll get a doctor!"

One of them immediately decided to let the other stay and watch over me, and go to the doctor himself.

Seeing her running away in a hurry, as if something big had happened, I felt a little guilty in my heart, but I didn't have time to think about anything at this time, because the people in the yard had heard the movement outside, and I heard the sound of someone opening the door and running out, and then Ao Zhi chased out: "Little sister, don't be willful!"

The footsteps clicked to the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as I turned around, I saw Ao Jiayu pouting and standing at the door.
