Granny Lu's heart was already turbulent, but her expression gradually calmed down.

She is a lot wrong, she is sorry for Lin Xinyi's mother and daughter, who were once the most important to her, but she doesn't regret it, because she has someone more important than them. This man is the person she wants to protect at all costs, including morality, conscience, dignity, and even sacrificing her life.

"Third son, although the old slave is sorry for the eldest lady, but the old slave also really loves her, whether it is before the death of the eldest and youngest grandmother, or after the death, the old slave has always taken care of her life meticulously, and has never let her suffer a little, otherwise the eldest lady would not be so worthy of me, an old slave."

Mingjing's anger subsided a little, remembering her meticulous care for Jinshu over the years and Jinshu's sincere dependence on her, and it was these that allowed her to hide from everyone and gradually control Jinshu. He gradually regained his senses, nodded and said, "Everyone in the house can see this, and I believe it." But what exactly do you want to do with her? Answer me all those questions, don't deceive! ”

Granny Lu nodded, she was so cold that she shivered, and begged bitterly: "Although the old slave deserves it, after all, he is old, and the ground is too cold, so it is really unbearable to tie it up like this, and his whole body is almost frozen, and he begs the son to be pitiful!" ”

Mingjing was a little unbearable, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to ask why she was frozen and she couldn't ask why, so she motioned to Mo'er to untie her. After the rope was untied, Granny Lu struggled a few times, but she didn't stand up, and rubbed it for a long time before she was helped by Mo'er to sit on the bed, and Mingjing motioned to Mo'er to pour her a cup of hot tea.

After a cup of hot tea, Granny Lu's bruised face improved slightly, her eyes showed a touch of firmness, and she said slowly: "Not long after the young grandmother gave birth, I was divorced by my in-laws because I gave birth to a dead baby, and I was introduced by well-wishers to be the nurse of the young lady. When she was five years old, her biological mother died of illness, the lord was away for a long time, and was not treated by his mother-in-law, we depended on each other, when she was ten years old, I took her to sweep the tomb of my aunt, but picked up a little girl who was about to starve to death at the door of the house, that is, Baimei, fortunately the lord was at home for a while, and the young grandmother begged the lord to take him in, and the three of us have been dependent on each other until the young lady married the Xie family, which is the relationship between the three of us. ”

Mingjing was a little moved, her eyes were tidal, when her sister-in-law was alive, she was kind and gentle, generous, and she was indeed like a sister to Baimei, and regarded Granny Lu as her biological mother, that is, she respected and affectionately her biological mother Aunt Wu and her eldest brother's biological mother, Aunt Mo, but she was not treated by the old lady because of this.

But I didn't expect that the childhood experience would be so pitiful, but the relationship between Granny Lu and Bai Mei has been true for many years, and it is not too much to say that they are as close as mother and daughter, and he also sent someone to check the details of the two, but due to the passage of time and the war for many years, nothing can be found.

Grandma Lu suddenly choked up in her voice, tears welled up: "That night, the young grandmother's palpitations suddenly worsened, the eldest son left home, you all accompanied the old lady to live in the temple, only me and Baimei guarded her, the girl and the mother-in-law were all messed up, Miss Jinshu woke up and couldn't find someone, maybe she heard a noise here and ran over, the scene was chaotic and no one noticed her, she was still young at the time, and she saw the young grandmother die in pain, so she was frightened, no one intended to let Miss Jinshu see that scene, please believe the old slave." ”

mentioned the past, Mingjing also burst into tears, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, he "snapped" and slapped the table: "This can still be said in the past." So what is the purpose of you doing everything possible to intimidate and control Shu'er over the years, and not allow her to contact anyone? ”

Granny Lu wiped her tears, her expression sad and calm. When she was dying that night, she said that the eldest son had been away from home for a long time, and she was afraid that his stepmother would not wait to see Jinshu after he continued the strings, so I swore with Bai Mei not to leave Miss Jinshu for the rest of my life, and asked me to comb Bai Mei's hair and reward her with a few pieces of jewelry, which was regarded as a house for the eldest son, in order to be able to take care of the eldest son and Shu'er for her. You also know what happened later, the eldest prince took the initiative to promote Bai Mei to be his aunt. ”

Mingjing was a little impatient: "You have said these things before, my eldest brother and I know them, don't beat around the bush!" ”

"In fact, the old slave has deceived Shu'er over the years, and she is not allowed to contact outsiders, first, I am old and alone, for fear that I will not be needed by the Xie Mansion, so I made this decision, and did everything possible to make the eldest lady inseparable from me, so that I could have a place. Second, I don't want the eldest son to continue the strings so quickly, and I don't want others to be favored, and I don't want him to recruit new people......"

"Why don't you allow Big Brother to continue the string? Why don't you want others to be favored, is it for Baimei? ”

"It's not just for Mei'er, it's for Mei'er, the eldest lady and the old slave. The old slave is worried that other aunts will have to favor Mr. Son, and Mei'er's status is not guaranteed, so she can't protect the old slave and the eldest lady, and she is also worried that the new lady will not like the eldest lady after the eldest son continues the string, and she will not tolerate the old slave, so that I will be lonely and drifting in my twilight years, and I can no longer take care of the eldest lady. If the eldest prince doesn't continue the strings and doesn't spoil other aunts, Mei'er will have hope that Mr. will have a son, and the old slave will have something to rely on, and he will not leave the eldest lady. That's what the old slave is for. Heaven testifies, although I have selfish intentions, but it is also for the good of the eldest lady, and I do not mean to deceive and intimidate her, but I don't want the eldest lady to become what she is now, this is all the sin of the old slave! The old slave is sorry for the young grandmother! Please punish the third son! ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, knocking out all the blood, and his defense was even more impeccable, Mingjing couldn't find anything wrong when he thought about it, and asked forcibly: "Does Aunt Bai know about this?" ”

Granny Lu smiled bitterly: "Mei'er has been with the eldest prince almost in the past few years, and rarely goes back to the house, how can I know?" It's all the old slave who did it from her, and the old slave is blamed for being too selfish, in fact, the eldest lady doesn't need to be taken care of by the old slave, but the new lady doesn't allow it, and there is still an old lady and the eldest son in the Xie Mansion as the masters, how can she drive the old slave away? ”

Mingjing always felt as if she was deliberately hiding something, and couldn't find anything wrong in her words, so she turned around and left angrily. After returning to the house, I thought about it and instructed Mo'er: "It seems that I can't ask anything today, so it's better to dry her ****." As soon as she is old, she will send some food and bedding over for the sake of the young grandmother, lock the doors and windows from the outside, and ask again tomorrow. ”

Mo'er nodded and went out, sitting alone but bored and panicking. This vacant house belonged to a friend, and only the old slave couple was left to clean it, so he borrowed it. I remembered that my friend said that this place is not very far from the burning tail building, and it will take half an hour to arrive in the carriage, and I can't help but think of the **** that I just came back from Jinyang.

Mingjing couldn't help laughing, she did everything possible to earn him to go to the most expensive place to kill him, but she didn't know how to order, and she picked out the strange names of the dishes, all desserts and cold dishes.

Thinking of the amazing look she had when she pushed open the window and saw the cold and glamorous Chang'an under the cold moon like a hook, as well as her bright and wise eyes and slightly upturned mouth when she calculated him, her heart suddenly stirred. At the same time, she hated her teeth so much, because in her words, expressions and demeanor, she regarded herself as a willful and ignorant son, and for a while she couldn't wait to rush back to Wugong County overnight to question her, but she still held back. Granny Lu's matter has not yet come to a conclusion, she already feels that she is naïve and willful, wouldn't it be true to run back by her temperament?

Finally, he couldn't bear it, so Mo'er stayed and paid more attention to Granny Lu, rode a horse to the burning tail building again, still sitting in the private room that night, pushing open the window to watch the night view, but there was no moon tonight, and he swept away his already low interest, so he was bored and asked for some wine and food to wrap his stomach, and ordered Xiao Er to pick out three or four snacks and take them away.

The next morning, I was sleeping in a daze, and someone shouted outside the tent: "Childe! Son! Hurry up, something is wrong! ”

Mingjing turned over and sat up to open the tent, and drank: "What happened?" Make it clear!

Mo'er looked shocked: "In the morning, the mother-in-law went to deliver food to Granny Lu, and found that she left a blood book to hang, and her whole body was stiff, I don't know how long she has been dead!" ”

Mingjing was so shocked that he jumped out of bed in his middle coat, didn't care about asking more, wrapped his clothes and hurried to the backyard cabin, several attendants were standing at the door waiting for him with panicked expressions, and pushed the door open and went in, Granny Lu had been flattened on the bed, the stool was overturned on the ground, and the belt that the sheets were torn into strips and tied into strips was stepped on, and she hanged herself with this last night.

"Is there no help?"

"It's gone! After being out of breath for a long time, my body was cold. The minion has checked it, the lock is intact, it should not be an outsider. ”

On the table were two pieces of bloodstained cloth, also torn from the sheets, with dark red words on them: The old slave was ashamed of the eldest lady, and he was entrusted by the eldest and young grandmother, and he had no shame to say anything, so he went to the underworld to ask her for his sin.

The other piece reads: Mei'er, the old slave did something to hide from you for selfishness, and harmed the eldest lady, so I went to ask the eldest grandmother for the guilt, and the eldest lady will entrust it to you in the future!

On closer inspection, her right index finger was really broken, and there were blood stains on her hands, placket, floor, and table, and she wrote in blood.

Ming Jing was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table. He was still careless, he didn't tie her up for a moment last night, but she took advantage of the loophole and committed suicide, she died a hundred, but is the truth really what she said? How do you explain to Changsheng when you go back?

Looking at Granny Lu, who died straight and upright but with a calm face, I can't tell whether it is hatred or sympathy. In the end, for the sake of the sister-in-law's face, the entourage bought a thin coffin and hired a car to pull it back, and quietly buried it in the cemetery of the Xie Mansion for the burial of slaves and tenants and the lonely and deceased people tomorrow night.

The truth of the matter will never be mentioned to Jinshu, so that Mama Lu will always be the mama who loves her in her mind. Two or three months later, if she asked, she said that Aunt Bai's illness had not yet recovered, and Mama was too old to stand the rush and stayed in Jinyang temporarily. I believe that the longer the time, the weaker her attachment will be, and when she grows up and is sensible, she will tell her that Mama Lu died of illness in Jinyang and was buried on the spot, and she was afraid that she would be sad so she kept it a secret.
