Xiao Yiran lived in his uncle's manor for two days and completely liked it. In the morning and evening, you can take a boat in the lotus pond, walk through the lotus leaves in the fields, or pick a lotus pod, or smell the fragrance of lotus flowers. When the sky is clear, take shelter in the shade of the willows. At night, sitting by the pond and admiring the moon, I temporarily forgot about Lin Chen and the hustle and bustle of the world outside.

However, the peaceful and pleasant day, on the evening of the third day, was broken by someone who came.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yiran had just returned from a boat in the lotus pond when he heard someone outside shouting:

"The second master is here?"

As soon as he heard that the second uncle was coming, Xiao Yiran hurriedly took his group to hide. After Sun Jiji came in, he first looked at Xiao Yiran's carriage in the courtyard, and then went to the living room to drink a cup of tea.

"Where did the carriage come from? Is it a guest? ”

Although Xiao Yiran hid in the room, he could still hear the second uncle Sun Hei's questioning of his subordinates.

"Back to the second master, the carriage was put here by the eldest master, and there have been no guests to Zhuangzi recently."

At the beginning, Sun Jidong instructed his subordinates to keep the identity of Xiao Yiran and his party secret, so the subordinates lied.

Sun Jiji listened to the reply of his subordinates, and did not continue to ask, sat down slightly, then stood up, took out a letter from his sleeve, put it on the coffee table, and said very casually:

"Here's a letter to show to whoever deserves to read it."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After Sun Jiji left, Xiao Yiran came out of the room, and the next person handed Xiao Yiran the letter left by Sun Jiji. Xiao Yiran heard what his second uncle said when he was leaving in the room, and his heart chuckled. When he took the letter handed over by his subordinates, he looked down and saw that there was only one word "Xiao" written on the envelope. Xiao Yiran opened the envelope with some apprehension, pulled out the letterhead, and was shocked into a cold sweat just for the first time.

"Ran's niece, although the second uncle will not meet, he also knows that his niece is by no means a short-lived person. Sure enough, the niece is still alive. Very good, very good.

A few days ago, by the Qinhuai River, the second uncle occasionally saw a girl Qingwen dressed as a man, and he was a little puzzled at that time. originally thought that after her niece died, Qingwen was resold to someone else, so there was this coincidence. It's just that when I think about it, I feel that it is unreasonable. Why would a girl dress up as a man? So, he sent someone to follow secretly, until he came to the inn and saw the eldest brother coming and going in a hurry. I saw two carriages driving out of the east gate and heading straight for this manor. The second uncle was worried about his niece in his heart, so he couldn't help but come to find out in person.

Knowing that his niece was not only alive but also in good health, the second uncle was very relieved. I'm here today, not for anything else, but for two things to negotiate with my niece.

First, although Ran'er is not yet in her prime, it is time to talk about marriage. I have mentioned this matter many times before, especially on Ran'er's birthday two years ago, my grandmother and second uncle ordered my mother to go to the capital to hire her, but I didn't want to be rejected by my sister and brother-in-law because Ran'er was still young. This is the right time to come to Jiangning, and I think I will never refuse to have a relationship with my cousin Sun Yilin again.

Second, if Ran'er really doesn't look down on Yilin, the second uncle is not reluctant. Presumably that day, Miss Qingwen already knew why the second uncle quarreled with others. He also asked his niece to help the second uncle raise 500,000 taels of silver for the sake of her relatives, so that the second uncle would not sue anyone about the resurrection of the dead. ”

After reading the nondescript letter of the inheritance of his second uncle and grandson, Xiao Yiran immediately fell on the coffee table, sat on the chair, and was stunned.

Xiao Yiran was thinking, the second uncle should not have seen Qingwen, how could he be recognized? Besides, Qingwen was dressed as a man at the time, even if the second uncle occasionally saw Qingwen when he went to the capital, he would never be able to recognize Qingwen in men's clothes. Just when Xiao Yiran was puzzled, he happened to see Qingwen come in to deliver tea, and immediately asked:

"Qingwen, two years ago, when the second uncle and his entourage arrived in the capital, did you ever show up in front of the second uncle?"

Qingwen lowered her head and thought about it, shook her head and said:

"Nope."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. At that time, Musk Moon and I were in the backyard, and it was Sister Xiaoxing who was talking to each other. ”

Xiao Yiran thought about it, it was indeed as Qingwen said, but how did the second uncle know Qingwen, and it was by no means a hurried glance. Xiao Yiran knows that this matter is not trivial, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to my father and mother. Immediately instructed the subordinates of the manor to go into the city and call the eldest uncle

Sun Jidong didn't know what was going on, but he learned from his subordinates that the second master had come in the afternoon. Sun Jidong thought that Xiao Yiran and his party were seen by Sun Jiji, and he was also shocked in his heart, he didn't care that it was getting dark, and once he left the city, he could only live in the manor at night. Hurriedly let the family drive the carriage and go straight to the manor.

"Uncle."

"Ran'er, what's going on?"

"The matter of my cheating on death was known to the second uncle."

As he spoke, Xiao Yiran handed the letter left by Sun Jiji to his uncle. After Sun Jidong read it, he took the letter in his hand and pondered. Although he miscalculated, the result was the same, the niece's death was indeed known to the second brother.

"Uncle, how is this good?"

Xiao Yiran asked with a little headache.

"I didn't expect the second brother to find out. Don't worry, wait for your uncle to think about it. ”

Although Sun Jidong saw his younger brother Sun Jiji blackmail his niece by such despicable means, he still did not speak ill. Now, Xiao Yiran cheated on his death, and Sun Jidong has also become an insider. If he doesn't go to the government to denounce it, once the matter is revealed, then he can't escape the crime of bullying the king.

Although Xiao Yiran was asking his uncle what to do, he actually had a plan in his heart. After all, people who have the memory of two lives, especially the first life of the ancient era, although Xiao Yiran, who is high above, cannot say that he is used to seeing life and death, but for the sake of himself and the safety of his parents, Xiao Yiran can still think of a way to shut up his second uncle, and he can do it.

"Ran'er, your second uncle is different from others, if he is not a good gambler, give him 500,000 yuan. It's just that once he starts, he will never stop. Let's wait for my uncle to go back tomorrow and discuss this matter with your grandmother. ”

From the words of the eldest uncle, Xiao Yiran could see that the eldest uncle was a cowardly person. If it weren't for this, my father and mother would not have suffered so much grievance when they were in Sun's mansion.

"Uncle, I'm afraid it's not a good way to find grandma. My grandmother has always been protective of her shortcomings, and she also strongly approves of my marriage with Yilin's cousin, and I am afraid that she will approve of the mention in my second uncle's letter. ”

Xiao Yiran's words made Sun Jidong dispel the idea of finding Mrs. Sun. It's just that, other than that, I can't think of any other good way. Until late at night, Xiao Yiran saw his uncle's embarrassment, so he had to persuade:

"Uncle, let's go back to the room to rest first, and we'll figure out a way tomorrow."

After sending his uncle back to the room, Xiao Yiran also came to his room and released Zheng Xinxin's soul, and the two discussed for a while. Xiao Yiran escaped from the Yin God and took Zheng Xinxin straight to Sun's mansion. Even though he only came once when he was a child, Sun's Mansion was still easy to find in Jiangning Mansion. Soon, Xiao Yiran's Yin God and Zheng Xinxin's soul came to Sun's mansion, and they saw from afar that the second uncle Sun Hei's residence was still lit, and Xiao Yiran and the two leaned over.

"How can you do such a heart-wrenching thing? That's your niece. And your brother-in-law's future, you don't care about it?! ”

The angry shouts of the second aunt came over before Xiao Yiran approached.

"I care about them, do they care about me?"

"Why do they care about you? When my sister was at home, I hadn't entered the house yet, but I had heard about it. How did you treat your sister and brother-in-law? Which of you takes care of them? Now that you're going to blackmail your niece, do you still have any humanity? ”

"Women, what do you know, shut up for me."

The noisy voices of the husband and wife woke up both children. Sun Yilin rubbed his eyes and walked in, complaining:

"Dad, mother, I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what do you always quarrel about?"

Sister Sun Yizhu also walked in and complained about the two.

"Lin'er, Zhu'er go back to sleep, my mother won't quarrel with my father."

After Zhu coaxed a pair of children away, he ignored Sun Jiji and went to bed alone.

Xiao Yiran, who was outside the window, saw that Sun Hei had no intention of sleeping, so he hid in the dark shadow outside the window and did not move. After a while, Sun Jiji, who looked pensive, stood up and walked out. At first, Xiao Yiran thought that his second uncle was going to Xiaojie, but he didn't follow, but when he saw Sun Jiji walking towards the door of the mansion, he hurriedly beckoned Zheng Xinxin to follow his second uncle Sun Jiji to the street from the air. After three turns, Sun Jiji came to a house outside, and the yard was not big, only three grass houses, and the door was also in tatters.

Sun Hei's slamming knock on the door woke up the sleeping people in the room, opened the door and walked out, muttering and scolding:

"What's outside, what is the door knocking on in the middle of the night?"

"Boss Shi, it's me, Sun Inheritance."

Xiao Yiran understood as soon as he heard it, this must be the home of Shi Liben, the loser thief that his uncle said.

"I said Brother Sun, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here? It can't be that you owe other people's gambling debts again, and you have nowhere to hide if you are being chased, right? ”

While opening the door, Shi Liben's mouth kept talking.

"Boss Shi, the second master is here today to take you to make a fortune, don't be ignorant."

"Just you, and take me rich? Is it a dream? ”

As he spoke, he deliberately stretched out a hand and shook it in front of Sun Jiji's eyes.

"Talk in the house."

Seeing that Sun Jiji said solemnly, Shi Liben stopped messing with him, and the two of them entered the house one after the other.

Seeing this, Xiao Yiran understood that his uncle, not only had to blackmail himself, but also bring others to blackmail him. If you are soft-hearted to such a person, then in the end, whether it is yourself, your father, or your uncle, you will be buried in his hands.
