The wheels are rolling, and they are speeding through the country roads.

Through the windswept curtains, you can see the overcast sky outside, reflecting the newly emerging blades of grass on the ground growing greener.

The clouds are rolling, and the spring thunder is rising in March.

"Miss, it's raining." Bai Ling lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it.

The young girl in the prime of her cardamom years has faded away from her youth and immaturity, and her face is silver and white and white, pleasing and rich.

An Ruolan withdrew her gaze from the scenery outside the window, and bowed her head lightly: "Try to rush to the Grange before the rain comes up." ”

Bai Ling whispered in response, pulled the curtain and asked the driver to speed up.

Only a loud shout was heard, the sound of horses' hooves became more and more rapid, and the carriage shook more and more violently.

An Ruolan lowered her eyes, unconsciously falling into deep thought.

Yesterday, she received a letter, from someone she had almost forgotten.

Mama Li, this old woman who has served by her biological mother's side all her life, if it weren't for this sudden letter, she probably wouldn't have remembered such a person.

At the beginning, Mama Li made a mistake and was driven out of the Hou Mansion, and then she didn't know where to go, she had heard about it two years earlier, and heard that Mama Li was back to Meng Guofu, and Mrs. Meng took pity on her and sent her to the Grange in the suburbs of the Meng family to live in the countryside, and after that, she never heard of Mama Li.

Looking back now, she only remembers Mama Li's shrewd eyes.

She never imagined that this person who had a grudge against herself would beg her to rush to see her when he was about to die.

Mama Li said in the letter that she had a secret buried deep in her heart for more than ten years, and before she died, she wanted to atone for her sins.

The words of atonement aroused her curiosity and doubts, so she did not hesitate. She asked her mother for permission and drove to the Grange with Bailing.

Along the way, my mood was heavy for no reason, and black clouds floated in the sky like the sky.

Whoa-

In the midst of lightning and thunder, the group finally failed to arrive at Mengjia Grange before the rainstorm, and the heavy rain poured down like a scoop, washing the whole world.

The carriage had to brave the heavy rain to move forward. The rain is slippery. Coupled with the trap mud pit, there was a lot of delay on the road, waiting for the group to arrive at the Grange. It had taken an hour longer than expected.

Almost as soon as the carriage stopped, An Ruolan put on her robe, Bailing held up an umbrella for her, and the master and servant got out of the carriage together. Stepping on the muddy road into the gate of Zhuangzi.

A servant woman who was in charge of the grange came forward to greet her and entered the door. An Ruolan asked, "Which house does Mama Li live in?" ”

It was a young daughter-in-law who came out to greet her, and when she heard the words, she knew that she was anxious to see someone, so she bowed down and said, "The slave's surname is Jiang, and I have seen the young lady." Mama Li is now lying in the side room inside, and the young lady is walking here. ”

An Ruolan was served by Bailing to remove her robe, and said with her head bowed: "Please also ask Sister-in-law Jiang to lead the way." ”

Jiang lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head in response. Lead her inside.

It was dark, even though it was early afternoon. The house was also lit with lights, Jiang Shi carried the lamp, An Ruolan followed behind her, the old Zhuangzi looked a little gloomy on a rainy day, the two walked through the hall, walked up to the corridor, and walked in for a while before arriving at the house where Mama Li lived.

"That's it." Jiang stopped and peeked at her.

An Ruolan bowed his head slightly, and said politely: "There is labor." But he didn't push the door in.

On the way over, she had already asked about the situation, and knew that Mama Li was depressed, so she couldn't afford to get sick, although she looked very energetic now, but I am afraid that it was a return to the light.

Jiang said that Mama Li looked at it some time ago and was about to die, but she kept hanging her breath until now, and sighed with emotion.

Standing in front of the door, An Ruolan's heart became heavier and heavier, she guessed that Mama Li was to see her, so she would hold on and wait until now, but she couldn't understand what was going on to make her so persistent?

With a solemn heart, she raised her hand to hold on to the heavy and old door in front of her, but before she could exert any force, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Seeing the person who appeared behind the door, An Ruolan subconsciously frowned, "Why are you here?" ”

That's right, the person inside the door is An Ruoxian.

An Ruoxian, who has reached the age of ten, is no longer the little girl who entered the Hou Mansion at the beginning of the year, she is bright and sweet at the beginning of her beauty, and she looks like An Shiyan between her eyebrows and eyes, and she is stunning.

She is no longer as reckless and impulsive as before, she can't hold her breath, time has precipitated elegance and tranquility in her, she has been taught to be a real lady, from her dress, words and deeds, it can be seen that Meng has spent a lot of energy and thought on her, which has never happened to An Ruolan in the past.

Knowing that they can't get along with each other, in the past four years, the two sisters can be said to be well water and not river water, if it is not necessary, the two will basically not meet on weekdays, but at this moment, An Ruoxian suddenly appeared in front of her, which made An Ruolan can't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart, and her intuition is that this trip is in vain.

Compared with her worries, An Ruoxian smiled sweetly and innocently, her eyes were sad and sad, and she said softly: "Sister Lan came at the right time, and Mama Li is still anxious to see you." ”

The soft and deferential tone, with a smile and a smile, are all very similar to Meng's.

An Ruolan felt embarrassed for no reason, nodded lightly, and walked past her into the door, where she couldn't see, An Ruoxian's face sank suddenly, and her eyes were full of hatred and ridicule.

The furnishings of the room are very simple, except for a wooden bed made of black and white gauze, next to it there is only a small square table, two stools, a basin shelf, and a large wooden box.

An Ruolan walked to the side of the bed and called in a low voice: "Mama Li." ”

Looking down, the old man with gloomy eyes was lying on the bed, his breath was weak, his face was flushed, and his tall and sturdy body in his memory was now thin into a handful of dry firewood, only not much bigger than a bamboo pole, lying in the quilt, almost no one could be seen.

Mama Li originally closed her eyes, but when she heard the voice, she opened her eyes suddenly, and there was no trace of anger in her cloudy eyes.

Jiang is right, this is indeed the appearance of returning to the light.

She didn't recognize An Ruolan for a while, and she was stunned before raising her hand. In a dumb voice, "Sixth Miss? ”

An Ruolan sat down on the embroidered pier next to the bed and bowed: "It's me." ”

"Miss Six......" Mama Li called again, raised her dry hand, tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't have many tears, and after a while, the corners of her eyes were dry.

An Ruolan paused. Still reached out and took her hand. said: "If you still have any wishes, just say it." ”

It's not that I have deep feelings for Mama Li, it's just the last pity for a dying person.

Mama Li couldn't shed tears anymore. Only red-eyed, and said in a dumb voice: "The old woman knows that she has done a lot of things wrong, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything more, the slave just wants to ......"

"Mama Li. Don't say that, you've served your mother for most of your life. Always do your best, your loyalty, everyone sees it in their eyes and remembers it in their hearts. Otherwise, your mother would not have fallen ill in bed with grief after hearing the news that you were seriously ill, and if it weren't for that, your mother would have come to see you long ago. ”

An Ruoxian interrupted Mama Li's words. I pressed the corner of my eye, and my tone was sincere.

An Ruolan frowned without a trace.

I went to say hello to my grandmother this morning. She has also seen her biological mother, the fifth aunt now, and her ruddy complexion definitely doesn't look like she is sick. Even before going out, she didn't hear that the fifth aunt was unwell.

An Ruoxian was lying.

Her eyes were slightly dark, and she felt more and more that An Ruoxian's sudden appearance in the Grange was not simple.

You must know that this is an industry under the name of Meng Guofu, except for the Meng family, only the fifth aunt knows about this place, and she can only get here because Meng Guofu sent a coachman to send her.

An Ruoxian was able to find this place lightly, there is no doubt that the fifth aunt found someone to show her the way, but why did she lie to Mama Li, the dying person, is this related to what Mama Li mentioned in her heart?

All kinds of suspicions flashed through his heart, and An Ruolan watched the changes.

Mama Li slowly rolled her eyes, glanced at An Ruoxian deeply, and then looked at An Ruolan, she opened her mouth with difficulty, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, but said: "The slave maid has done a lot of things wrong before, I'm sorry Miss Six, I hope Miss Six will not hold a grudge against the slave maid, otherwise the slave and maid will not be able to walk steadily." ”

"That's what you're talking about?" An Ruolan's lips pursed, obviously not believing that it was just such an inconsequential matter.

She didn't see it, An Ruoxian, who was standing behind her, kept glancing at Mama Li.

Mama Li slowly closed her eyes, her thin five fingers grasped the corners of the quilt, and her mind kept echoing the words that An Ruoxian told her before An Ruolan entered the door.

"Mother always remembers Grandma, but Grandmother doesn't let Mother come to visit you."

"When I heard that my mother was seriously ill, my mother fainted on the spot."

"Mother is crying so much that her eyes are almost out of sight, if it weren't for my father to stop her, she would have come to see you, I can't bear my mother to travel in illness, so I came to visit you for my mother."

"Mama, don't blame your mother, it was her grandmother who forced her back then, so she had to kick you out of the Hou Mansion, you must know that if you don't do this, you won't be alive now."

Every word and sentence was full of care and affection, but despite the earnestness of the words, she could still hear the truth and falsehood, and she still remembered the disgust in the eyes of her lady who she had accidentally seen it back then.

In fact, as soon as she looked at Miss Liu's expression, she already knew very well that everything was a lie, but so what? No matter how cruel Madame was to her, she couldn't bear to make Madame sad.

It was the child she had raised......

Originally, she made up her mind to tell Miss Sù Sixth that year, so that she could leave with a clear conscience, but at this moment, she could only hide the secret that made her uneasy again in her heart and take it to the grave.

Her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them, and the strength of her whole body seemed to have been exhausted, Mama Li knew that she was dying, she struggled, her lips trembled, and she used up her last bit of strength, and spit out a trembling sentence, "Miss Six, the slave is sorry for you, don't blame Madame, it's all the slave's fault, you ......"

Before she finished her last sentence, she didn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled, and her hand fell heavily on the futon.

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

An Ruolan was stunned, An Ruoxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was finally nothing bad about her mother.

"Amitabha, Amitabha, two young ladies please go outside, beware of being too bad and polluting your eyes." Jiang clasped his hands together and chattered twice, and hurriedly pulled An Ruolan and An Ruoxian out of Mama Li's house.

Jiang called the rough mother-in-law to collect the body of Mama Li, An Ruolan sat in the hall, listening to the roaring thunder outside the house, the sound of the rain, and looking at the servants who were busy in and out, and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

An Ruoxian squeezed out a few tears and said softly: "Sister Lan, people are dying, and their words are also good, you believe Mama Li's words, don't be angry with your mother anymore, it's been four years, and your mother didn't intend to succeed your ...... at the beginning."

"Shut up." Before she could finish speaking, An Ruolan coldly spit out two words.

An Ruoxian choked and silently shut up.

Looking at the dark sky outside the house, An Ruolan's eyes were deep.

What Mama Li said in the letter, what is the secret that has been hidden in the bottom of her heart for more than ten years? (To be continued) R580
