Peony immediately understood, a dispute between the two young ladies would cause the second young lady to fall into the water, if this word spread, no matter what, it would be bad for the reputation of the General's Mansion.

Of course, the people outside thought that the second lady was sick.

It's just the second aunt, she is the mother-in-law of the young lady, and she doesn't know the truth of the matter?

Peony was in her heart, and she sighed slightly for the second lady.

After that, the sound of the outside conversation turned into a whisper, and even though Dawn had already pricked up his ears, he didn't understand anything.

After a while, there were footsteps gradually approaching the inner room.

Someone walked in, was it a peony or a ......

Sikong Dawn simply performed harder and harder, and was bound to carry out the great and arduous task of pretending to sleep to the end.

It was already the middle of the night, the candles had already been extinguished, the windows were closed, the curtains were closed, and the whole room was shrouded in a dark shadow.

The footsteps of the person who came in moved slightly, and with intuition, Sikong Xiaoxiao knew that this person was definitely not a peony.

That—she waited nervously with bated breath.

The second aunt walked lightly into the back room with small steps, although this was her own daughter's boudoir, for various reasons, she rarely came in.

It's not familiar, and it took me a while to get to the bed.

sent Peony to help her watch at the door, but no one could help her hold the lamp, and she couldn't see the faces of the people on the bed in the dark.

How long has it been since she had a good look at Dawn's face, what should the little baby look like now?

I heard that she looks like her mother, so she should be the same as when she was young, what will it be?

One of the second aunt's hands had already reached the pillow, but she didn't dare to move forward for half a minute.

If she couldn't contain the desire in her heart to touch her daughter's little face, if she was awakened by dawn and saw such a scene, how would she explain it?

Bai Lan closed her eyes tightly, forcibly endured the sourness in her heart, and waited until all the tears disappeared before she opened her eyes again and looked intently at the little person on the bed.

"Dawn, it's not good for my mother, my mother is sorry for you." The second aunt said softly, almost to herself.

"I care too little about you, I don't care about you, Dawn, you must hate your mother, don't you?"

"Actually, I don't want to do that, but I really don't know how to deal with it. Every time I see you, I think of those ...... Those unbearable past...... I ......" finally couldn't help it, and a line of tears crawled up her face.

Once the first beauty, but can not compete with the erosion of the years of wind and frost, if this is daylight, or a little bright light penetrates, and sees this face full of sorrow and thinness, who can imagine her demeanor back then?

The second aunt's endurance was only average after all, her fingers slowly squirmed forward, touching Dawn's cheek, but it was as fast as lightning, and she immediately withdrew her palm.

Then, like a thief, he stood up and hurried out.

Even accidentally knocked down the stool in the room, the second aunt carefully lifted the round stool up, and looked back, the people on the bed were still asleep, as if they hadn't noticed all this at all.

I was a little disappointed in my heart, but in the end, I was relieved, and this time I didn't look back and ran away.

And after the second aunt left, Sikong Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were firmly fixed on the light gauze round tent above her head, and her hands were clenched into fists, clenched tightly.

It's called hate, is she mistaken?

It seemed that thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, and it was as if I hadn't thought of anything.

It turned out that in the previous life, no matter who she was right to, what she did was wrong.

At least, there is no clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, who is good and who is bad.

No wonder God can't even look past her and want to clean her up, God, but what do you mean by letting me live again this time?

…………

On the second day, the entire General's Mansion was really lively, and everyone said that the general was back.

This is really a happy event, although because of the position of the general, the entire family is naturally respected by Sikong Liang.

In addition, he is the son of the long house, inheriting the ancestral business of the Sikong family, the old man Sikong was flexible and shrewd and capable, and created a family fortune.

Sikong Liang relied on these, coupled with a good martial arts, to recruit troops, conquer the previous dynasty in the southern and northern wars, and finally support the emperor to ascend to the throne.

However, due to his special status, he is not at home all the year round, and the entire mansion is supported by the general's wife.

The family that manages Nuoda needs some means, and it is all thanks to the general's wife.

I can look forward to one or two times a year, and the man is back.

As soon as the general went home, she was happy that she had not slept all night last night, and after the third watch, she got up and asked people to reorganize the general's bedroom, which had been cleaned up many times.

Clean and tidy, all the beds and bedding have been newly replaced, hot water for combing, fresh fruits and vegetables, the general's favorite refreshments, etc., are all prepared fresh every other hour, and I look forward to Sikong Liang being able to come back and feel the warmth of home for the first time.

The more I waited, the more panicked I became, but the greater the hope, the more disappointed I was.

Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Sikong Liang understands this truth the most, and also understands that although the emperor is as close to him as a brother, he has become suspicious after ascending to the throne.

This time it wasn't a big deal, and Sikong Liang returned to Beijing with dozens of close entourage, and even feared that the emperor would be suspicious, so he left those people in the post house outside the city.

In the end, he just brought a deputy general and a personal soldier into the city, but he just sent a message to the general's mansion, but he went to the palace first.

The general's wife, the young lady of the house, the second and third rooms and the people in the clan who rushed to hear the news, waited and waited, and ate lunch slowly after breakfast, until the sun set and night was coming.

In addition to the children of the general's relatives, everyone in the side branches has already returned to their respective mansions, and only the general's wife, the two young ladies, and the third young master continue to wait, but what they are waiting for is the eunuch who is waiting in the Taiping Hall in the palace.

"The emperor said that he and the general have not met for a long time, and there are many confidants who want to say, so I will leave the general in the imperial study tonight and talk with the emperor by candlelight. I specially ordered our family to inform my wife, there is no need to wait. ”

"In addition, the emperor rewarded the general and his wife, and gave him a hundred taels of gold and ten brocade horses from Suzhou, which were tailored to the wife and young master." Xu Ping said unhurriedly, and his father-in-law's unique shrill voice, like the male goose, quacked under the light of such a sunset.

The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and the meaning of the brocade given by the Holy Emperor at this time is very clear.
