"Yes, the man of my family has been with the old lady since he was twelve years old, and he is very respected, and he has been promoted to be the steward of the outer court. Later, with the grace of the old lady, we were freed from slavery, rewarded with a sum of money, and returned to our hometown to buy a house. Lao Chang's face showed a little pride when he talked about the past.

Yun Luo asked coldly: "Then I heard you say this, your man is so highly regarded by my grandfather, my grandfather's affairs outside must not be hidden from him?" ”

A word broke the pride on the face of the old Chang family.

Her expression suddenly shattered: "Miss, this, this...... Yes, count...... Right. She replied with some difficulty.

Yun Luo didn't give her a chance to breathe, and his eyes were sharp: "Who is Lin Yunzhi, has your man told you?" ”

"This, this old slave doesn't remember...... There is such a number one person," Lao Chang's eyes dodged, but Yun Luo did not relax, she couldn't help but say weakly, "The old slave once told the third lady that when the uncle was 100 days, the old lady was drunk and hugged the uncle, and muttered a person's name in his mouth, as if it was 'Lin Hezhi', but the old slave didn't hear it clearly at the time, I don't know if it was the person the eldest lady said......"

"Until now, you still want to pretend to be confused, are you fooling me as a three-year-old child?" Yun Luo raised his hand to interrupt her defense, his face grim.

Lao Chang's family didn't seem to expect Yun Luo to be so straightforward, and looked at her with a stunned face.

Yun Luo leaned forward slightly in her direction, and said earnestly: "Lao Chang's family, I respect you as my father's nurse, that's why I met you here, I hope to help you." But if you don't tell the truth. I just thought about fooling people out of money, so don't blame me for ignoring the old feelings and sending you directly to the court to ask for a crime of fraud. ”

Lao Chang's family was obviously intimidated by Yun Luo, and he was full of excitement, the expectation in his eyes slowly burned out like ashes, and his face was also gray.

"Miss, please save my grandson's life......" After a while, she trembled and kowtowed to Yunluo.

But he didn't say a word about the events of that year.

Yun Luo shook his head in disappointment and got up to leave.

Lao Chang's family grabbed Yun Luo's skirt in fear. Won't let go. A pair of eyes full of pleading, pitiful.

Yun Luo squatted down helplessly, stopped her wrinkled palm, and said calmly: "You were already married and had children when you chose to be my father's nurse, right?" ”

Lao Changjia nodded dumbly. I don't know why Bai Yunluo asked.

Yun Luo said, "So." At that time, you didn't come to my father because you were the old lady's personal maid and were deeply trusted. It's because your grandfather trusts you as a man, that's why he chose you. ”

The old Chang family's eyes flashed with horror.

Yun Luo didn't see it, and continued: "Even though you and your wife are loyal. But it is not enough for the master to be gracious and free you from slavery. My grandfather treated you so well, and it must have been because you and your wife helped my grandfather a lot, so that there was such a way out. Old Chang's, do you think this is the reason? ”

At this time, the old Chang family no longer dared to look at her.

Seeing this, Yun Luo became more and more sure of the guess in his heart, and continued to say: "For my grandfather, what can you couple of domestic servants do to help him and express it in this way?" I think there's only one way to think about it," Yun Luo whispered in her ear, word by word, "and that is to help my grandfather keep a big secret." ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Chang's family shriveled to the ground, looking panicked.

Yun Luo stared at her sweaty head, and followed the temptation: "Let me guess, what kind of secret is it?" Well, is there something suspicious about my father's background? ”

A sentence was like a sharp awl smashing the heart of Lao Chang's family at once, and the blood on her face faded inch by inch, and finally became as pale as paper.

"Now that you've figured it out, what else do you have to say?" Yun Luo got up unhurriedly, his tone becoming more and more indifferent.

The old Chang family looked at each other, and his eyes flashed with fear, hesitation, embarrassment, pleading, and so on.

Yun Luo didn't rush her, just waited for her quietly.

In the end, Lao Changjia murmured weakly: "Old lady, she ...... The old slave will not be spared. ”

"The old lady now has tuberculosis, and she has stepped into the ghost gate. If you can take care of this, you won't go to Yunfu and not even see the old lady's face. Old Chang, do you still have any concerns? Besides, now my father is a Xinyang County Cheng, not a white body, and the second master of the Yun family is just a businessman, which is higher and which is lower, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Yun Luo hit the nail on the head.

Lao Changjia thought for a long time, his face changed, and finally he bit his lip and made up his mind, loosened Yunluo's skirt, and spit out three words: "Okay, I said." ”

The attitude is resolute, like going to the guillotine.

Yun Luo breathed a sigh of relief, his face soothed, and he sat back in his seat, motioning for the old Chang family to speak carefully.

Lao Changjia sighed, looked at Yun Luo's gaze began to deepen, as if it had penetrated the dust of the years, and with a gentle blow, the room was full of dust-

"The old slave is the old lady's personal maid, and she enters the house with the old lady's newlywed. The old lady of the Yun family was a famous beautiful man in Xinyang back then, and how many young ladies were haunted by their dreams, but they were only crowned by our young lady, oh, the old lady. That excitement and longing, we all remember vividly as personal maids. But ......" a turning tone brought out pathos, Yun Luo stared at the face of the old Chang family, and saw obscurity on the face of the old dragon clock, "But early in the morning of the second day of the wedding, we went into the new house to serve a couple of newlyweds, but when we got up, we saw the bride lying alone on the bed with tears on her face, and she was so frightened that she looked at each other with no idea what was wrong. Later, he hurriedly helped the young lady up from the bed, and after dressing up, he found that the new aunt who was missing sent a handmaid to tell him, saying that he went directly to the ancestral hall to wait. At that time, the makeup on the young lady's face was suddenly spent, and anyone who saw that scene would be sad and unbearable. There are no old people in the house, and the young lady is the biggest master, and she began to think that it was a great blessing, but at this point, she realized that it was actually the greatest suffering, because there were no elders to complain about, and there were no elders to hinder. When we returned to the door, one of our four personal maids was quick-mouthed, and quietly reported to the old lady of the Jiang family, saying that the uncle snubbed the young lady, and the old lady of the Jiang family said a few words to the uncle, and after returning to Yunfu, the maid disappeared that night. Since then, none of us who have followed the past have dared to gasp loudly, for fear that if we are not careful, we will disappear inexplicably one day. ”

While reminiscing, a weird smile appeared on Lao Chang's face, which made people feel creepy.

Yun Luo didn't expect his grandfather to treat the old lady like this.

But she didn't intend to interrupt Lao Chang's words, take away the strangeness in her heart, and listen to Lao Chang's family continue-

"After a month, we found that the old lady and the old lady always slept in the study and the new room. The old lady didn't say anything in her heart, but she was more anxious than anyone else. If this continues, what is the difference between her and a widow? The old lady has always been a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible to stand out among the many young ladies and marry her sweetheart, so after a month, she began to change her strategy, and took the initiative to go to the study to send soup and snacks after dressing up carefully every day, and she was gentle and gentle. After this lasted for more than ten days, the relationship between the two gradually changed, and the old lady occasionally sent someone to send some fashionable fabrics on the market, and the old lady loved it like something, and the smile on her face was dripping with honey. Later, in order to please the old lady, the old lady came up with the idea of matching her maid to the little girl next to the old lady, so that she could please the old lady, and she could learn about the old lady's hobbies and whereabouts from the little girl, killing two birds with one stone. Things unexpectedly settled smoothly, and I was betrothed to the man of my family. After getting married, I stayed with the old lady to serve, and the days passed like this for two or three months, and one day, my man hurriedly brought me a message at noon, saying that I was outside, and I would not come back for dinner tonight, so I didn't have to wait for him to rest by himself. I didn't think much of it, but when the old lady gossiped with me, she asked me what the man in my house was looking for me, and I repeated what he had said. Later, the old lady found someone to inquire in the outer courtyard, and learned that the old lady went out early in the morning, and the old lady didn't say anything at that time, I thought it was just a casual question. Unexpectedly, something happened that night. When the old Chang family said this, a look of pain gradually appeared in his eyes.

Yun Luo pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

Lao Changjia was panting for breath, and his hands subconsciously clutched his clothes: "In the middle of the night, the old lady sent someone to call me into the house and instructed me to bring the clothes that my men are used to wearing. I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that it was useful, so I hurriedly took a middle coat into the house, but I didn't expect the old lady to take a big dog to smell the clothes in my hand without saying a word, I know that the dog's nose is very smart, and the country hunters look for things with the dog's nose after smelling it. At that time, I had a bad guess, because the old lady never stayed in the old lady's house, and naturally there was nothing left, and now, nine times out of ten, my man is with the old lady, and finding my man is equivalent to finding the old lady. Obviously, the old lady did it for this purpose. However, this approach is too risky, even if you find out where the old lady is, what is the scene unbearable, so how will it end? Hasn't the détente over the past period of time been in vain? But the old lady had made up her mind, and we didn't dare to persuade her, so we waited in the house tremblingly. After an hour, news came back that it was in the Quiet Garden. ”

Jingyuan? The place where Lin Yunzhi was buried.

Yun Luo asked silently in his eyes.

Lao Changjia understood what she meant and nodded slightly. (To be continued......)
