Ling'er thought of the thin and timid little girl, she was the daughter of her eldest aunt, but she felt completely different from Zhilan. Ling'er didn't blame her for the lightness of the gift, but she was just curious that there was such an ordinary thing in a bunch of clever or expensive or exquisite meeting gifts, which was indeed a little surprising.

Ling'er asked, "Which yard does Sister Zhihuan live in?" ”

"Right next door, Miss Zhi Huan lives with the third aunt."

"Third aunt?"

"Yes, Miss Zhi Huan was born to the third aunt, and according to the rules, you can't live together, the eldest lady is virtuous, and Miss Zhi Huan is allowed to be raised by the third aunt."

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Zhi Huan and Zhi Lan are completely different, Zhi Huan is timid, and always looks cautious and can't get on the stage; In contrast, Zhilan is naturally high-end and high-grade, it seems that this aunt is not a good stubble!

Ling'er thought for a while: "Are there any other aunts in the house?" ”

"Yes, there was originally a second aunt in the eldest master's room, but the second aunt fell ill in her early years, leaving a young master Shilian to be raised by the eldest lady, and now that she is old, she has already moved to the outer courtyard to live; In addition, there is an aunt in the second master's room, but that aunt does not live in the house. ”

"Really? Can my aunt not live in the house? ”

"You can't follow the rules, but the second master is in a special situation, and the family's business is taken care of by the second master, and he often needs to go out for entertainment. The second lady had to take care of a few young ladies and young masters, and it was inconvenient to go out, so the second master found an aunt to accompany him out to socialize, and the aunt couldn't have children, so she didn't move into the house. ”

Ling'er was a little surprised, but she didn't expect her second aunt to be mediocre, and her second uncle treated her very favorably, and she was not allowed to do anything that showed up. only let her enjoy Qingfu at home, it may be that the second aunt is too mediocre in appearance, and it is not convenient to take her out for entertainment, right?

Ling'er stuck out her tongue secretly, her mind was too dark, maybe the second uncle was very bright?

After looking at the gifts one by one, Chunqiao took Qiu Cicada and Qiu Ming to put things away, and Ling'er said, "Don't dismantle anything." Seal it as it is. When you go back in a few days, just pack it directly. ”

Chunqiao stopped her movements and said in surprise: "Miss, you ...... Do you want to go back? ”

"Of course. This isn't my home, so I can't just stay here, right? ”

Chunqiao's face was a little ugly, and Ling'er said: "If you are reluctant, I will send you back to grandma when I leave." ”

"No, no, no. Miss, you misunderstood the slave! "Chunqiao looked outside. walked into two steps and whispered in Ling'er's ear: "Miss, don't you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" ”

"Huh? What is the recognition of ancestors? ”

Chunqiao was so frightened that she hurriedly signaled Ling'er to whisper, and asked Qiu Cicada Qiu Ming to guard at the door. Looking at her mysterious appearance, Ling'er felt strange in her heart. Chunqiao said in a low voice:

"Miss, this ...... This is not the turn of the slave maid to say this, but a few days ago. I listened to the old ancestor discussing with the eldest master, and tried to find a way to let the third aunt recognize the ancestors and return to the family tree. If you're gone......"

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, if she was not mistaken, the third aunt was referring to her biological mother Ye Yan'er, who was expelled from the house and kicked out of the family tree? Ling'er's eyes widened, what kind of heinous crime did her biological mother commit back then? A young lady who has not been out of the cabinet has fallen to such a point!

Ling'er pulled Chun Qiao to sit down, and said with a serious face: "Chun Qiao, I don't know anything about my mother's affairs back then, can you tell me in detail?" ”

"This ...... It's not that the slave doesn't want to say it, the slave and the maid are also young, and many things are pieced together by listening to the elders and mothers-in-law in the house, and the slave and maid don't dare to ask more, but silently remember it in their hearts. ”

Ling'er thought for a while, "Okay, let's talk slowly." I asked someone to inquire, and people outside said that my mother died of plague before leaving the cabinet, what is going on? ”

Chunqiao's face was a little ugly: "This ......"

"Chunqiao, my grandma has already given you to me, you are my person, you are good for me, I naturally treat you well, but if you are selfish and hide everything, I will return you to my grandma now."

Chunqiao hurriedly knelt down: "Miss is angry, Chunqiao has no two hearts, but this matter has always been a taboo in the house, and anyone who dares to discuss it in private will be killed and thrown into a mass grave, and the slave and maid will ......"

I see, but the more she said this, the more Ling'er wanted to know, she got up and took the third and tenth sisters to the courtyard, turned around and closed the door and sat in front of Chunqiao: "You get up, there are no outsiders now, you can tell me what you have heard." ”

Chun Qiao hesitated for a long time, thinking that sooner or later she wouldn't be able to hide, so she told everything she had heard.

According to Chunqiao's statement, back then, Ye Yan'er was the pearl of the old lady's palm, and she had been pampered to give what she wanted, and after she and Xuan, her family ordered her a good family affair, and the other party was the first talent in Cangzhou City.

At first, this Miss Ye was still satisfied with her family affairs, but one day when she came back after attending a banquet, she became a little different, always sitting alone in a daze, sometimes blushing and sometimes talking to herself, the old lady was startled, thinking that she had fallen into some kind of demon, and hurriedly asked her to ask a doctor, but she suddenly returned to normal, took the initiative to find the old lady, and said that she wanted to invite a master to come back and talk about the scriptures.

The old lady felt sorry for her daughter, naturally there was no reason to be inaccurate, Miss Ye took the initiative to propose that Miss Zhang Jia introduce a master, Wen Sicai is good, the old lady does not doubt him, and really invited the master back, but he is a handsome scholar in his twenties, the two are together every day in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so discordant, and there are gradually rumors in the house.

When this rumor reached the ears of the old lady, the old lady was so angry that she immediately rushed to find it, who knew that as soon as she entered the door, she happened to see the two of them Qingqing and I were concubines, the old lady was so angry that her head was buzzing, and she didn't care about her face, so she rushed up and slapped Miss Ye to the ground, and the famous family Ding dragged the master out and beat him and threw him out of the city.

The old lady came back to her senses, and felt that things were not good, in order to hide from the world, she dealt with all the maids and servants in Miss Ye's courtyard and the people who saw the scene with their own eyes that day, some said that they were sold to the Beiban, and some said that they were beaten to death and thrown into mass graves, and there is no way to find out how to do it.

I didn't understand this matter so far, the master was beaten to death, Miss Ye cried day and night to find death, and half a month later, she found out that there was a rhyme, she was so noisy, Mrs. Ye naturally couldn't hide it.

Old lady Ye scolded her daughter a lot, and finally said that as long as she beat the child and changed it, she would not care about it, but Miss Ye was dead-eyed, and she cried to find the master, and then one night she disappeared out of thin air somehow?

Old lady Ye was furious, and ordered Miss Ye to be expelled from the house and crossed her out of the family tree, since then, the Ye family no longer knows the whereabouts of Miss Ye, of course, but the people don't know, and the masters don't know whether they know or not. (To be continued)
