Su Ke was bitter in her mouth, she couldn't know what the old marquis was doing now. But today's Hou Ye shouldn't be very good.

"How did you get in?" The girl protected Aunt Tian behind her, and her eyes swept over the courtyard door behind Su Ke, obviously with a bolt inserted from the inside, but the person came in so quietly.

The mute woman staggered aside, pointing to the kitchen, gesturing with her hands.

The girl seemed to understand, turned her head and glared at Su Ke angrily, and said angrily: "You are not small, and you have bought people." What exactly is your purpose? Come here several times, don't go too far. ”

"Excessive?" Su Ke stepped forward and took two steps, and when he saw the girl holding Aunt Tian and retreating, he stopped again, "You stay in the house with such a big secret, one day and two days, a year or two, there will always be people who are curious and spy." Shouldn't I come? If you dare to stay here, don't think I'm too much. ”

The girl didn't give up, "Without you, we would have lived well." ”

Very good? Su Ke didn't speak, but his eyes looked around the small courtyard. Although the New Year is celebrated, the windows are pasted with pleasing window flowers, but the door pair should be pasted on the inside, and the two half-new red lanterns are hung under the eaves, which looks even more sparse. She saw the dishes in the kitchen, if she hadn't given Xu Wang some money before, she wouldn't even have meat.

Is that a good day?

"Why don't you leave?" Su Ke asked seriously, there was neither hope nor hope for such a day, so why bother.

The girl was as white as Su Ke, and said to the dumb woman: "Help my aunt go into the house." ”

Aunt Tian was still a little resistant, looking at Su Ke with a blank eye, seeing that Su Ke was empty-handed, there was a slight disappointment in her eyes, "Master Hou, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Su Ke turned his head sideways and said softly: "Master Hou is very good, and the fifth master is also very good. ”

I thought it was a reassuring word, but Aunt Tian sighed, "You all hide it from me, in fact, I know." Everyone was stunned, but she leaned at the door frame and said slowly, "The fifth young master likes a woman, but that woman is not blessed and is gone early." ”

Seeing that Aunt Tian was about to cry, the girl hurriedly pushed Aunt Tian into the house, "Miss Hengzhu Nasu has no fate with the fifth master." ”

All three entered the house, leaving Su Ke standing alone in the courtyard. After a while, the girl came out again, carefully covered the door of the house, and then walked into the kitchen in a huff, "Come here." ”

"You know about Su Ke?" Back in the kitchen, Su Ke watched the girl kick the broken sack, and her voice was much softer.

The girl was speechless, "Who the hell are you?" Old lady people? The third wife's person? Hou Ye's people? What are we doing inquiring? You know what to do. I've been here for 12 years alone, and we can't get out, and if we're willing to make a fuss, we won't allow you to go wild here. My aunt is crazy, and we're going to be fast. You don't know anything from our mouths, so get out of here. ”

Su Ke lowered his voice: "Master Hou is the son of Aunt Tian. ”

It was an affirmative tone, and there was no doubt.

The girl closed her eyes and luckily, and after a while, she opened her eyes and stared at Su Ke, "Yes, Master Hou is the son of his aunt, and he was taken away by the old lady when he was born." Now Hou Ye has an identity and status, brocade clothes and food, and he is rising steadily, all because of the identity of his son-in-law. We are grateful to the old lady, so we stay here steadily. My aunt can see Hou Ye every now and then, and that's enough. So don't bother us, even if I beg you, can't you? ”

Su Ke ignored the girl's bitter words, since she came, she wouldn't leave without getting the scriptures.

"Since Aunt Tian is the biological mother of Master Hou, why would the old lady let her stay in the mansion. Wouldn't it be the place today if you were sent away far away? ”

"Our stay in the mansion was granted by the old marquis, and the old marquis forced the old lady to swear a curse before he died, so he left us to this day." Xu saw that Su Ke was resolute, and the girl didn't shy away from it, so she simply said bluntly, "It's us who don't leave, isn't it more reassuring for the old lady to put us under her nose, in case we go out and are taken care of by others, won't it become a threat at that time." ”

"In other words, you are willing to be manipulated by the old lady."

The girl sighed, "Yes, this is also the consensus reached between the old marquis and the old lady before he died." ”

A man who just wants to live with his son's scattered news and wait for the old marquis to have no more words; For the sake of making a promise, he was unwilling to leave the hidden danger in the house, but it also avoided the infiltration of outsiders.

Years of grievances have been balanced at such a seemingly absurd, but reasonable opportunity.

Can you be wronged? Worried? Closed all year round, guarding a palm-sized place to live an unknown life. The old lady was worried all day long, guarding against this and that. Everyone is having a hard time, but no one can take a step back.

Either leave ruthlessly, or ruthlessly extinguish.

The stalemate between the two parties led to the current situation.

"Okay, you already know about us, you can go." The girl didn't want to say more, so she held back her temper and coaxed Su Ke.

Su Ke was unmoved, "What is your friendship with Mother Xu?" Does she always come? ”

The girl said "calmly": "She is an old lady's person, and every once in a while she comes to see if we are honest or not, can this be regarded as friendship?" If you think it is, it is. Anything else? What else do you want to know? ”

"Aunt Tian ...... at the beginning," Su Ke was a little unsure, "Did she give birth to two children?" A pair of twins? ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then giggled, "So you're here for this." Why, when I heard such news, I started the idea of Master Hou. What are the twins for, and the doves occupy the magpie's nest instead? ”

"Yes." Su Ke replied crisply.

The girl didn't expect Su Ke to answer, the smile on her face was held awkwardly, and it took a long time to come to her senses, "Who is the mastermind behind you?" ”

"There is no mastermind, it is my own idea. Hou Ye is now stuck in the quagmire and can't pull his feet. That's the only way I can think of it, find the twins and replace them. I once heard people say that most of the twins are wise and stupid, and since they picked Hou Ye at the beginning, the other one is probably not good. The old marquis was able to force the old lady to leave Aunt Tian in the house, which shows that he has a deep affection for Aunt Tian. As for the other child, he will be sent away far away, keep his life safe, and live an ordinary life. If 'Hou Ye' is crazy and stupid, no amount of conspiracy can be carried out. But the 'Hou Ye' is still there, and the Hou Mansion can continue to enjoy glory and wealth. If you know the whereabouts of the child, tell me and I'll go out and find it myself. If you really found it, I will never drag you down for half a point. ”

This is Su Ke's heart, she has nothing to hide, and she confesses it. If she can come here, she doesn't plan to hide it. After so many years in the Ming Dynasty, there have been many twins in the palace, and when the old ladies talked about it, they all felt sorry for the stupid one, but they were also glad for the smart one.

This is the last glimmer of hope. It was the only way Sue could possibly come up with it.

If such a confession still can't impress, she can only beg bitterly.

Looking at the girl's suspicious and confused expression, Su Ke lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt down solemnly, "The only one who can send the child away is the old marquis." For so many years, haven't you said a word to Aunt Tian? If you don't know, let me meet my aunt. ”

When Su Ke knelt down, the girl was already speechless in shock. Frowning, she asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Su Ke."

"Suke?" The girl's eyes widened, "It's from that palace, and then ...... with Hou Ye That Suke? ”

Su Ke nodded, but the girl was even more surprised, "Aren't you dead?" It has been spread all over the house, and even the cow woman is talking. also said that you have long been a member of the Hou Ye's room, and the old lady also likes you very much, and everything in the house is well organized. It's just that he contracted a cold on the day he entered the palace to congratulate, and as a result, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he died within two days. Hou Ye didn't think about it for your tea and dinner, and described it as withered. Now all the people in the house are holding white hairpins for you. ”

The Hou Mansion's statement about her death, Su Ke had already heard about it in Xu Wang's house. didn't say leaving, but said dead, blocking her last room to turn around.

"I was calculated and became the weakness of the Hou Ye. There are many things that I can't control, and finding the twins is the only hope. Help me, even if it's just a clue, at least let me do something for Master Hou. ”

This news made the girl staggered, she never expected things to be like this. I was in a panic for a while, and then I suddenly remembered to pull Su Ke up. Just as they were about to walk over, there was a sobbing sound at the door of the kitchen, and both of them looked over and saw Aunt Tian covering her face with a handkerchief, crying so sadly.

Su saw this, so he simply knelt down in front of Aunt Tian, grabbed her skirt and begged, "Auntie, where is that child now?" Shannanhaibei, I'll look for it. Don't you want to see that kid? ”

Aunt Tian still cried all the time, and the dumb woman next to her comforted her, but it didn't work at all.

The girl came forward and pulled Su Ke up, "You get up first." I've been in this little compound for twelve years, and I've never heard of a twin. You must have listened to someone else's lies. ”

"No, there is such a child." Su Ke's love xù was also excited for a while, and he let the girl pull it, and here he desperately dragged Aunt Tian's dress, "Auntie, the fifth master has an accident, and now it is the twins who can save him." You sue sù me, you sue sù me ......"

Aunt Tian put down the veil, her eyes were red from crying, and she snorted and said, "That child died when he was born." ”

It's not that I didn't expect this possibility, but it's true, and Su Ke also had to bear the blow of despair.

She sat down on the ground in a state of distraction, and she didn't know how tears were covering her face. She was just desperate and didn't know how else to drag Shao Linghang out. Even if she went to him and told him that he was not dead, a qiē was a means for King Jing to make it for the sake of the imperial pole. But now he is a sharp weapon that King Jing must hold in his hands, without her as a weakness, as well as the concubines in the palace, and the entire Hou Mansion. It is impossible to get King Jing to give up Shao Linghang.

Then this wicked person might as well do it to her.

But she always thought that there was a way, even if it was difficult, it was still a hope.

But now, my hands are still empty.

……

The story was told by the mute woman, and the girl looked at the messy gestures, her face was shocked, frightened, and helpless. She relayed the incident to Su Ke sentence by sentence, and the secret that had been hidden for twenty-five years finally leaked out of the torn window paper.

That year, the old lady finally conceived her third child after Aunt Zheng and Aunt Gao gave birth to the third and fourth masters respectively.

No, to be exact, since giving birth to the concubine in the palace, it is difficult for the old lady to have children. After that, there were two times, and both fell off at the age of three or four months. The old lady has lost hope, and the two aunts have also given birth to concubines, and the life of this Hou Mansion is almost certain.

However, God favored, and in the end, the child stumbled and became pregnant until five months, and it turned out to be fine.

The old lady ordered people to repay their vows everywhere, and the mansion was also carefully prepared to serve, just waiting for the man to be won in one fell swoop, and the Hou Mansion was still the old lady's. But at this time, Aunt Tian, who was always just a person in the room, was diagnosed as two months pregnant. The old marquis was very happy, and that kind of excitement was even more exciting than the old lady's child being kept for five months.

From that time on, the old lady no longer wanted Aunt Tian to give birth to a child.

But Mother Xu, who was beside her, couldn't help but ask, what if the old lady was still a girl.

The old lady has no hole cards, and this baby is born, and it will be impossible in the future. One child was decided, and the old lady moved the idea of Aunt Tian's child. The so-called seven lives and eight are not alive, when the old lady launched, the decoction that gave birth was poured over there. If it's a boy here, it doesn't matter what is born there. But if it's a girl here, and a boy is born there, and you can still hold it in your hands in the days to come.

So the conspiracy was quietly planned for five months.

When the child was born, the palace was at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. The old marquis is not at home, but he is also thinking about the old lady's child, leaving someone at home, and if there is any news, he will return immediately.

The old lady's baby, born from dawn to dark, was finally born, and it was really a boy.

The people in the house ran to the palace to report the good news, and the old marquis was very happy, and drank three cups at the banquet, and his colleagues also congratulated him. But at this time, the fifth master, who had just given birth not long ago, took a sharp turn for the worse, and he was dying in less than half an hour, and finally passed away.

At the same time, Aunt Tian, who had been poured with the probiotic drug, gave birth to her first child, that is, Shao Linghang.

The child was reversed, and his wrinkled face was actually indistinguishable.

Aunt Tian was not too sad, and she expected that it was a good thing that the child could live as a sister-in-law by the old lady's side. But there is still a child in her belly.

After birth, the two children look exactly the same, and things will be a gang.

said that it was the twins born to the old lady, but the news had already spread to the palace, and it took so long to report it, how could the old marquis hide it.

Everyone was in a dilemma, and there was a deathly silence in the delivery room mixed with the smell of blood. Time passed quietly, no one came up with a solution, and everyone seemed to understand the meaning.

In the end, the child died in the womb because the time dragged on for too long.

That night, the old lady gave birth to the fifth young master, and Aunt Tian's twins all died......
