"Madame!" Xu Xiao's family hurriedly waved their hands to let the two maids guarding the door retreat, and only themselves were left in the house.

"Madam, the slave knows that Madame is bitter, but Madam shouldn't have said those three words in front of the eldest young master today." Xu Xiao's family poured a cup of tea and brought it to Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu waved her hand, and she put the cup aside.

"Jun'er is my son, he doesn't face me, but also towards that little evil beast?" Mrs. Xu pounded her legs for a while, and her clenched teeth made her face hideous.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao's family hurriedly covered Mrs. Xu's legs with a thin blanket, squatted on the side of the pedal and gently helped Mrs. Xu hammer her legs.

"Yufang, I always felt as if the master knew something about that incident at that time. Do you think, when the old man decided that the little evil animal was killed by Aunt Liu, why didn't he lock her up, but sold her directly? Although concubines can be sold, which family has ever sold concubines? I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Xu Xiao's subordinates didn't stop: "Madam, the master can be seen that she is angry when she betrays her, don't think about it, things have passed for so many years." But I heard that Aunt Liu told her maid before she was sold, saying that the master would not treat her for someone who was not his own. Madam, maybe, that suspicion back then was true......"

"What a really! When you ask to marry me, it's all, and my aunt doesn't carry it into the house one by one!? My little third son didn't live during the day, and he wasn't sad at all! The first day of the little third son is gone, and he will come back with that little evil animal the next day to be my little third son! If it weren't for the mother of the little evil animal who died in childbirth, I don't know how long he would hide it from me! In the outer room, a thing that is not even a concubine, he wants me to treat that evil animal as my own son! Pity my little third son, the little third son who hasn't lived in a hundred days, even the pillar incense has to be secretly served! Mrs. Xu was screwing the handkerchief with both hands, and her knuckles were white. If my little third son were alive, he would be smarter than him! The little third son he eats uses the little third son, and even the name is my little third son! I should have poisoned him, I shouldn't have poisoned him! ”

"Madame!" Xu Xiao's family hurriedly stood up and stroked Mrs. Xu's back up and down, "Madam, don't say that the wall has ears, just say that he is already stupid, others say that your son is stupid, I advised you not to do that at the beginning, you have hatred in your heart and can't swallow that breath, now that he has retribution, the third young master will be grateful to Mrs. if he knows it underground." ”

"Yufang," Mrs. Xu suddenly leaned back as if she had unloaded her strength, covered her face with her hands and sobbed in a low voice: "I have been bitter in my heart, for so many years, you are the only one who can speak by my side, since he hugged that little evil animal for me to raise, I have been so cold, Yufang." ”

Xu Xiao's family's heart was sour, and they couldn't help but cry with Mrs. Xu.

The old house of the Xu family.

After finishing the accounts, Master Xu twisted his stiff neck, he knocked on the table and shouted for someone.

A maid with a double bun pushed the door in, carried a teapot in her hand, and stood aside with her head down after adding water to Master Xu.

Master Xu raised his eyes and glanced at her, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Is there any trouble over there today, Third Young Master?" ”

"Back to the master, the third young master didn't make trouble today, he has been basking in the sun in the yard since he got up from a nap, but he has eaten a little little for dinner, and he has already prepared supper." The maid's voice was crisp, and she returned respectfully with her head down.

"Yulu, how old are you this year?" Master Xu paused, and then said, "After the third young master gets married, you will go to serve the third young grandmother." ”

The little maid hurriedly knelt on the ground: "If you go back to the master, the slave maid is thirteen years old this year, but what did the slave and maid do not do well?" ”

"You did a good job to let you serve the third young grandmother, serve well," Master Xu beckoned, Yulu got up from the ground, suppressed the apprehension in his heart and looked at the paper in Master Xu's hand, a small simple line was drawn on the paper, like a drop of rain, and like a peach blossom, a very ordinary pattern, there is nothing special, she looked puzzled. "But if you find this pattern next to the third young grandmother, you must come and tell me as soon as possible."

"You just need to pay more attention, whether it is the dowry brought by the third young grandmother with this pattern on it, or there is it somewhere else, you have to recognize it clearly and sue me."

Master Xu waved his hand, and Yulu answered yes and retreated.

Closing the door of the study, Yulu bit her lip and stood aside thinking, why did she let herself serve the third young grandmother? I heard that the third young grandmother came out of a small family, and there should be no maids to serve her since she was a child, so I don't know if the third young grandmother will be more powerful than the second young grandmother. And the pattern that the old man said, where to find it? The old man should mean that he doesn't want the third young grandmother to know that he is serving her for a pattern, but how can he find such an ordinary pattern?

In the study, Master Xu closed the account books and stacked them, staring at the paper with the pattern in his hand in a daze.

I hope it won't be wrong this time, it shouldn't be wrong this time, it's been twenty years, the mother is dead, and it has to be passed on to the daughter. He didn't know what it was, but he knew exactly what it represented. Let this girl become her daughter-in-law first, if she has this thing, it is really the luck of the Xu family, if she doesn't, Xiao San'er will always have someone to take care of, as long as she is at ease as her third young grandmother, the Xu family can always give her a bite to eat. Just take a gamble.

Just take a gamble.

Master Xu folded the paper, turned around and pressed it on the bookshelf a few times, and a secret compartment came out, he put the paper into the envelope in the dark compartment, then closed the hidden compartment, walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, and then locked the door of the study.

"Go see the third young master." Master Xu put his hands behind his back and squinted his eyes slightly.

The night is dark, and although the weather in late spring has warmed up, the wind at night still brings a little coolness.

Yulu walked in front, carrying a lantern to illuminate the road under his feet, and Master Xu walked behind. The old house of the Xu family does not occupy a wide area, but because the Xu family has purchased a house in Chuanping County, and the family has all moved in the early years, the old house is empty, and only the old man Xu will come to live for a period of time in autumn and spring every year, one is to collect rent, and the other is to take care of the business of the wharf. Therefore, there are basically no servants left in the old house, and the grass and trees are not taken care of in time, and they are very lush.

The road illuminated by the lantern was hazy, and after turning a few corners, he arrived at the courtyard where the third young master lived.

The courtyard was very quiet, the third young master's room was lit up, and Mrs. Li, who was taking care of the third young master, had just eaten some supper left for the third young master in the kitchen, and heard a maid hurriedly saying that the master was coming. Mrs. Li swallowed the porridge and almost burned her tongue. She came to the third young master's house in a panic and learned that Master Xu had already entered.

Grandma's, the three fools don't hurt their mothers, why did they all come to see him today? I won't be there for a while, so it shouldn't matter, right?
