Chapter Forty-Seven: The Forsaken
Seeing the two figures, one big and one small, leaving, Mrs. Guogong sighed lightly, and Mama Su on the side looked very helpless The old lady is getting older and older, and people are more and more afraid of being hurt.
"Mama Su, don't let me worry about them all!" The old lady sighed, a little depressed.
"Old lady, in fact, you don't have to think too much, who knows about that matter, who said that only the fifth master and the second master still have you, such a big matter, the heads of all parties in the court must also know, maybe outsiders want to deal with our national mansion.
The eldest lady looks at it and is also steady, even if she hears it, she won't say it, you and the two masters don't know the severity of things, how can you do this. Mama Su persuaded.
"Or you can see through!"
"It's not that I can see through, it's that you've turned into a dead end, things in the house are getting more and more chaotic, and there is no news from the uncle, so you are naturally bored, it's better to find a time to go out and breathe!"
"How can I have that mind!"
Out of Shoukang Zhai, Cheng Yiyao looked at Cheng Jinghao dissatisfiedly and said, "Fifth uncle, when did I ask you for something, you slandered me!" β
"You didn't ask me to buy things for you, you forgot about it when you thought about it." Cheng Jinghao was still in the mood to tease her, Cheng Yiyao's heart moved
"Did you really get their hands on them?" Cheng Yiyao was a little surprised, if that is the case, then her own matter this time can be easily solved, at most, to be honest, she is only seven years old, what is wrong with children being naughty occasionally, if someone deliberately takes this matter for a while, it is really a punishment.
"But no, you said you didn't let me buy it!" Cheng Jinghao looked at the rich expression on his niece's face and couldn't help but pinch it.
In exchange, Cheng Yiyao exclaimed: "Fifth uncle, I'm a big girl!" β
"Good, big girl!" Cheng Jinghao laughed, she felt that this little niece was a little cautious, but it didn't hurt, he didn't think that it was a good thing for a person to be pure and kind, and this kind of thing to repay grievances with virtue only existed in legends in his opinion.
A big family like them doesn't need any pure-minded people, like the Duchess of the Kingdom, Cheng Jinghao has always felt that her mind is too simple, this little niece is very good like this, not vicious, but she will not be restrained.
Cheng Jinghao took Zhu Jiyao directly to the study and asked her to hide behind the small screen, and then someone walked in, Cheng Yiyao couldn't see anyone, only heard the sound of rustling footsteps and the sound of clothes rubbing.
"See the fifth master!"
"Get up, what does he say?"
"That person is Mama Zhao's son. According to him, the eldest lady found Mama Zhao and asked her to do something on the eldest lady's meal, originally Mama Zhao didn't dare, but the lives of their family were charged by the eldest lady, Mama Zhao had no choice but to comply, and finally the eldest lady asked Mama Zhao to take all the blame down, otherwise their family would not have to die, but in the end, Mama Zhao died, but the eldest lady wanted to cut the grass and kill them!
It was too late for us to find them, their family had already been killed, and he had escaped with his heart because of a broken heart! The person said.
"You didn't let anyone find out about how you saved him!" Cheng Jinghao asked.
"Fifth master, rest assured, the minions are handled very cleanly, and the person the eldest lady is looking for is also from the rivers and lakes, and she has already told them not to come back after finishing their errands, and in their eyes, this person is dead, so it will not arouse suspicion." The person who came said.
"Okay, you go down first, settle the man, don't have an accident, otherwise you will be asked!"
"Yes!"
After the people left, Cheng Yiyao came out from behind the screen, and as she thought, she didn't feel strange.
"What is Yao'er going to do with him?" Cheng Jinghao asked, "Or are you going to use him this time?" β
"What does the fifth uncle mean?" Cheng Yiyao looked at Cheng Jinghao and didn't speak.
"You have listened to the corner!" Cheng Jinghao didn't answer, but asked.
Cheng Yiyao nodded without hesitation: "I was just curious, and I heard it once, how do I know how unlucky it is." β
Cheng Jinghao smiled: "It's not that you're unlucky, it's that you're stupid?" β
Cheng Yiyao looked up at Cheng Jinghao suspiciously.
"Who were you with you?"
"Just the two big maids An Zhu and An Lan, and the two little maids Ruizhi and Ruiya." Cheng Yiyao replied.
"I've checked all the people in your yard in the past few days, and you can't use Ruizhi and Ruiya." Cheng Jinghao said.
Although Cheng Yiyao was suspicious, she was still a little surprised when it was confirmed: "Who are they?" β
"Ruizhi is from the Wang family, and as for Ruiya, he can't use it anyway." Since Cheng Jinghao didn't say it, Cheng Yiyao didn't ask much.
"Even if I heard about the things in the corner of the wall, but who told them I heard this, I didn't bring a few maids over at that time!" Cheng Yiyao wondered.
Cheng Jinghao was amused: "Do you still need to know this?" As long as the Wang family casually finds a more important thing to upload in the house, they have said that they have seen you listen to the corner several times, and there is always a time when they are right, have you heard anything, as long as you listen, then you will be speechless. β
"So what should I do?"
"Just don't know anything, and remember it in the future!" Cheng Jinghao smiled, "Okay, then I'll give you these little things, let's go and take you back to Shoukangzhai!" β
"Yes!"
"Grandmother, look at this is given to me by the fifth uncle, if you like it, just pick it!" Cheng Yiyao boldly spread a small bag of things on the small kang table, all of which were gadgets played by girls, and some small hairpins were also very beautiful.
"Mama Su, Sister Bi Tao, do you have any favorites!" Cheng Yiyao turned her head to Mama Su and Bi Tao again.
The Duchess smiled and said: "Okay, I don't want it, if you like it, you can pick one, and Mama Su will also pick one for your little granddaughter!" β
"Old Madam Xie, Miss Xie!" Mama Su and Bi Tao bowed down and thanked them, and each came up to pick one.
"How many Anlan don't pick one?" Duchess Guo said with a smile.
Cheng Yiyao lowered her voice: "I left them all!" Then he pointed to the placket of his clothes and saw that there were really some small hairpins.
The Duchess scolded with a smile: "Afraid that I won't be able to rob it?" β
"No, I left one for my grandmother too!" As he spoke, he took out a small bag from the corner, opened it and opened it with a small wooden fish, and said as if offering a treasure, "Grandmother, don't you see how beautiful it is!" β
"This is where the Buddha is used, whether it looks good or not, but thank you Yao'er!" Duchess Guo smiled and ordered Cheng Yiyao's little wooden fish.
Cheng Yiyao lowered her head, looking a little lonely: "Grandmother, my father hasn't brought a letter back to Yao'er for a long time, hasn't my grandmother's father brought a letter back to Yao'er these times?" β
Duchess stroked Cheng Yiyao's head lovingly: "Your father hasn't brought the letter back for a while, maybe he will bring it back in a few days." β
"Not yet?" Cheng Yiyao was quite disappointed, and she lost her interest in playing, "Fifth Uncle didn't, I thought the main mother would have it here!" β
"Your father is busy, so Yao'er has to be obedient at home, don't let your father worry!" Mrs. Guo's eyes were a little red, this child has had no mother since he was a child, and now his father is not around, I don't know how helpless he is, and he is the most sensitive.
"Mr. Luo is coming tomorrow, and then you and your second sister will take classes with Mr. Luo, you are the elder sister and take good care of the younger sister, you know?"
"Got it!" Although Cheng Yiyao's face was full of embarrassment, she still nodded when she looked at the old lady Yan SΓΉ's face, "Grandmother Yao'er went back first!" Anlan, they still have to wait for my hairpin! β
"Okay, then let Mama Su send you out!"
"Well, I'm sorry for the trouble!" Cheng Yiyao thanked him, and bowed down to say goodbye to the Duchess of Guo before leaving Shoukangzhai.
