Yan paused for a moment when he said this, staring at the window screen with slightly cloudy eyes, as if trying to recall the situation back then: "Aunt Zhen has been in the house for a year...... It may also be that in a year and a half, the women can't remember the days clearly, but they only remember that the Hou Ye went to southern Yunnan to fight in the summer of that year. It was at that time that one of the lady's cousins entered the house and lived in the Hidden Cui Zhai. Only this cousin never goes out, saying that she is infected with the wind and cold to recuperate, and the lady's maiden family is very good to this cousin, and the subordinates who should serve are all brought from the old mansion in Chengdu, and the people in the Hou Mansion are useless. Later, the lady found out that she was pregnant, and she was afraid that she would be sick, so she didn't go to see the cousin girl much, but she was still served by the people of the old house, and it was the best in all applications. The only cousin girl is delicate and doesn't go out much, and the people are whispering behind her back, saying that this cousin is talented and beautiful, and Madame is afraid that she will be admitted to deal with Aunt Zhen. ”

Yan said in a flat tone, Fu Jun didn't interrupt her, and listened to her quietly: "In the autumn of that year, the folk women mentioned the chief steward of the sewing room and had a separate courtyard. In the second half of the day, the woman was busy with her errands, and because she had some headaches, she went back to the yard to rest, and when the woman woke up, it was already dark, and the woman went to the table to light the lamp, and she didn't want the lamp to be lit, and a person suddenly appeared in the room. ”

Speaking of this, Yan couldn't help but shudder, but his voice was lowered, like a whisper: "That person is a young woman, and she didn't speak after she came out, she just fiddled with the things in her hand and smiled at the women. The woman was startled by her at first, and when she saw that she was a woman, she thought she was a maid in the house. He asked her who she was and why she had come here. The woman, as if she didn't understand much, was demented, and only asked me for candy, and said that she wanted to go home and ask for her mother. ”

Yan Shi paused, and the knuckles of the two fingers he held turned white: "The woman saw that she was a fool, so she wanted to call someone in." But. After the woman looked at the woman carefully, the woman suddenly ...... Suddenly...... I was scared. Speaking of this, Yan's eyes suddenly widened. There was a deep horror in her eyes, and her voice became trembling: "That woman is wearing a lake blue entwined branch and primrose pattern all over the Jintong sleeve jacket, and the woman remembers that this dress was sent to Rongxuan Hall by the woman herself a few days ago. It is said to be for ...... To give...... The cousin did it. If this were the case, the women would not be so afraid. What scared the women the most was that this woman was ...... Unexpectedly...... Pregnant. ”

Yan's teeth were fighting, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of the teeth, which made the listeners chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"Folk women...... Don't dare to look at her more. Don't dare to ...... Think a little further. Her muffled voice rang out again, her withered hands still clasped together and trembling spasmodically. After staying in the gate of the mansion for a long time, the women of the people know very well. What to know and what not to know. At that time, the women did not dare to call anyone, nor did they dare to let people know, so they were so panicked that they did not know what to do, so they had to find a few fruits and give them to the woman and coax her away. Fortunately, she didn't stay long, and after only half an hour of age, she ran out on her own. ”

When he said this, Yan's expression became a little relaxed: "At that time, it was dinner time, and the courtyard and the big kitchen of the people's women were in two directions, and generally speaking, no one would pass by at this point. However, the women did not dare to go out with them, so they immediately closed the courtyard door, as if this had never happened. ”

As if because he had finally revealed the secret that had been pressed in his heart for many years, Yan exhaled a long breath, and his two hands no longer spasmed, but rested quietly on his knees.

For the next few days, the woman was scared, but no one seemed to know about it, and the woman ...... The women were never seen again. In the early spring of the second year, the lady gave birth to her uncle, and a few days later, the woman heard that her cousin had been sent away. The subordinates all said that Mrs. has an uncle, and there is a successor to Master Hou, so there is no need for the cousin to deal with Aunt Zhen. ”

The room was silent, only the warm east wind came from the threshold, bringing a faint fragrance of flowers.

"Where did all the people who served my cousin go?" After a long time, Fu Junfang asked softly, his voice a little dry, "There is also a cover cuizhai, why do you want to close it again?" ”

"If you go back to your mother, the women don't know these things." Yan replied, his tone was very calm, "A few days after that incident, the woman was punished to the second gate for making a mistake and cutting off the errand of the housekeeper. There was not much news about the inner courtyard in that place, and even the fact that the lady gave birth and the cousin was sent back to the old house was only heard by the women a long time later. ”

Fu Jun stared at her, and she also looked back at Fu Jun calmly, without a trace of dodging.

Perhaps, Yan's "sudden mistake" was indeed a random event, maybe it was Yan's deliberate, in order to stay away from the private affairs of the inner house. In any case, there is no point in pursuing these things now.

After pondering for a while, Fu Jun asked again: "When you returned to the old mansion later, haven't you heard any news about that cousin?" ”

Yan shook his head and said respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, the women have never heard of it. When the woman went back, there were few acquaintances in the old house, and the woman didn't like to deal with people, so she ......"

She didn't say anything more when she said this, she just stood up and squatted at Fu Jun.

Fu Jun also felt that there was no need to ask any more.

Yan should have already said what she knew, in fact, if it wasn't for some news from Chu Jian some time ago, Fu Jun didn't plan to dwell on this matter.

She just didn't understand some things all the time, but now that she listened to what Yan said, she sorted out the things she couldn't figure out before.

As soon as the cousin girl who had never shown up came, Mrs. Hou became pregnant; The demented woman Yan met was dressed in clothes that should have been a cousin, and she had a big belly; After Mrs. Hou gave birth to Fu Zhuang, the cousin disappeared from then on.

The unexpected past events have deduced the most logical conclusion, and Mrs. Hou's incomprehensible behavior has finally come to a most reasonable explanation.

Fu Jun raised his hand lightly and picked up the teacup.

After all, he had stayed in Gaomen, and when he saw this scene, Yan immediately lowered his head and said, "The women have retired." Then she straightened up, took a few steps back, and stood on the edge of the fan.

Fu Jun also stood up, brushed his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Thank you for solving a long-standing problem in my heart, you are a blessed person, and you will be safe and happy in the future, and your family will be healthy." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Yan's tone suddenly relaxed a lot.

Since the county lord said "peace and joy, family health", she said that she would not pursue this matter, and the heart that Yan had been carrying back fell back into her stomach. (To be continued.) )
