Since Yan Jing's death, Xiao Wan has been bent on cleaning up Yan Huai, but he has been losing and retreating, and finally ended up under house arrest. Carefully calculated, she has not been free to move around the house for several years, in the past, what she could go to was her own small courtyard, staying in the Buddha hall more than anything else, chanting the Buddha statue devoutly, secretly hoping in her heart that God would open his eyes and accept Yan Huai as soon as possible, such days, she passed for a few years.

Now, the hope has finally come true. When the news reached her ears, her usually pale and haggard face suddenly became angry, and there was a little more different look in her eyes. Her heart shook, and she couldn't help but grab the window lattice and laugh. The heart that has been depressed for many years seems to have suddenly relaxed at this moment.

Xiao Wan only felt refreshed and comfortable.

Especially after seeing her only son, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, so she directly reached out and stroked Yan Lin's face, and said with a smile: "Okay, now it's good!" ”

She was like a bird out of the cage, full of joy, fluttering her wings and flying out of the "cage" where she had been imprisoned for many years.

Pushing open the heavy, solid door, she laughed loudly and stepped out in three or two steps. Standing under the eaves, she looked up at the blue sky, only to see the clear sky for ten thousand years, no flowing clouds, blue like a fine jade. The sky was bright, and she shuddered suddenly, but the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened more and more, like engraved on her face, and there was no intention of rescuing it.

The sun hanging high above her head exuded an increasingly scorching temperature, but Xiao Wanshi seemed to feel cold, and after a cold shiver, he shivered a few times before he calmed down.

She rarely goes out. He lived in the inner chamber almost every day, and even the sun shone very little. Therefore, the whole person will suddenly be bathed in the sun, and he will feel very uncomfortable. It's a hot day. But she still has a cold air on her body, hot and cold, which is naturally uncomfortable.

After calming down, she changed her face slightly and took a long breath.

The early summer sun hit her face, illuminating her bloodless face a little more color.

She walked slowly down the stone steps and looked around.

There was silence in the vestibule, except for the warm summer breeze that blew around her. The garden was neglected to be repaired, and it was summer at this time. There is not much grass or trees to be seen, let alone flowers in full bloom. In addition to the sandalwood fragrance blowing from the small Buddha hall not far away, there was not even the sweet fragrance of flowers in the wind.

Lonely and empty.

The inexplicable amazement suddenly swept over Xiao Wan's family, making her stunned on the last stone step.

After a few days, this taste has not completely disappeared.

She changed her clothes and combed her favorite hairstyle in the past, hairpin ring fat powder, a lot of pieces, all for her body. Flour is applied to the face. drew her eyebrows, nodded her lips, and chose clothes of excellent colors to wear, including earrings that she had never liked. I put them on one by one, too.

A long time ago, she had never dressed herself so carefully, after Yan Jing's death. More and more uncommonly.

However, the big trouble in her heart is gone, and she is very happy. Suddenly, I was in the mood to dress up again.

The warm fragrance lingered on her clothes, and she inhaled softly. After sniffing carefully, I couldn't help but smile.

Even though the whole house is up and down, for her, it is already everywhere, but she still can't help but feel a lot happier. Yan Lin seemed preoccupied. She hasn't been with her son for several years, and she has missed the most tortuous and painful time in her son's life. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the relationship between Xiao Wan and Yan Lin's mother and son seems to have become estranged unconsciously.

She cautiously asked her son, but Yan Lin only asked, "Don't you think there's something strange in the house?" ”

Xiao Wan was still immersed in the good news of Yan Huai's death, and when he heard him ask like this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only after a while did he twist his eyebrows and ask, "What's weird?" ”

"There seem to be a lot fewer people in the house." Yan Lin said with a wooden face.

Xiao Wanshi laughed: "You must have thought too much." ”

Hugh said that Yan Lin had been away from home for many years, and it was her, so it would be impossible to figure out how many people there were in the Chengguo Mansion and which ones they were.

But Yan Lin's words also reminded her by the way that now is not the time to just be happy. Whether she is happy or not, she still has to handle the funeral. Therefore, there are still a lot of things in the house that need to be rectified by her. She came back to her senses and said, "Don't worry, we're going to be long." You are the master of the Yan family, if you don't worry about these people in the house, it doesn't hurt to change all of them in one breath in a few days. ”

When Yan Lin heard this, he lowered his head and said: "I was busy for so long before, but I only had to be beaten, but now it has suddenly become the current situation, don't you really feel strange?" ”

As soon as Yan Huai died, for their mother and son, life was no less than earth-shaking.

A few days had passed since he learned the news, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Wanshi only thought that he had not slowed down for a while, and he didn't care, shook his head and smiled: "Right now, the mansion is full of his things, and you will inevitably feel unhappy when you see it." ”

As she spoke, she stood up straight, looked out the window twice, and said in a cold voice: "It's time to move back to the upper room." After speaking, she turned to look at her son, "There must be no mistake, this matter is past the emperor's eyes, and he is already dead." ”

Yan Lin listened and nodded hesitantly.

He was puzzled, but his mother's words were right.

The guard in the house suddenly relaxed, making him very uncomfortable.

The iron walls of the Chengguo Mansion seemed to have collapsed overnight, and the remaining guards were just like ordinary family members, completely incomparable to the past.

Xiao Wan felt that this was because there were many people who saw the wind and made the rudder, and those who knew the times were handsome, and everyone could see who was the real master.

Xiao Wan regained control of the Chengguo Mansion, and the first thing was to sort out the roster first.

However, she couldn't find it......

I searched all the corners and corners, but there was still no trace of Ruyi, and all kinds of account books and rosters were well piled up in the boxes and stacked high.

She couldn't help sneering as she flipped through the roster, and said to Yanlin: "Ruyi has helped him do evil for a long time, and now he is dead." It's no wonder that Ruyi wants to escape. After so many years, the resentment in her heart. It's time for it to disappear.

It took a day, and she barely regained her majesty in the mansion.

The old master is gone. Knowledgeable people naturally respect her now.

Although Xiao Wan scoffed at this, he was also happy behind his back, and turned his head and asked someone to sort out Yan Huai's things and burn them with a fire, so that she would do a good deed every day and burn the things to him!

Some of the people below looked at each other when they heard this, and some immediately responded obediently, rolled up their sleeves and pulled their feet to clean up their things.

Xiao Wan remembered them one by one in his heart, and suddenly remembered something, so he left everyone and strode to one place.

She hurried along the hand-copying veranda. The maids and women I met along the way all immediately bowed their heads and said goodbye. Xiao Wan glanced at them hurriedly, stopped and pointed to the mother-in-law, and asked, "After Mother Jin, who was in charge of the small warehouse, was gone, the chief steward personally collected the key, and then moved all the things inside?" ”

The key was in Ruyi's hand, and it was also put in the box along with those account books, and now it was naturally in her hands.

But she had only hurriedly glanced at the mountains of books in her box, and had not yet seen any of the small storerooms.

The mother-in-law in a blue-gray summer dress was suddenly pointed out by her for questioning. Hurriedly trembling and said, "The slave and maid remember, they have all been moved to the big warehouse." ”

When Xiao Wan heard this, his brows furrowed, and his face, which was already a little old, seemed to be a few years older.

"A bunch of idiots. How can those objects be moved at will! She reprimanded in a low voice, reproach and heavy disgust in her tone.

There was silence under the porch.

She waved her hand and let them go, "You don't need to do it here." Let's go down and do things. ”

The mother-in-law is like Meng Dahe, and she is busy. Walk away quickly.

Xiao Wan's eyes were misty, like a wandering object. Standing alone under the porch, he turned around and went in the direction of the large storehouse.

Yan Huai rarely opened the warehouse, and Ruyi put those idle things in one place, and then locked the door, which was difficult to open once every year.

Xiao Wanshi took out the key to open the lock, and saw that the lock was rusty, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

As soon as the door opened, there was a faint musty smell coming from inside.

She covered her nose with a handkerchief and walked in with her feet raised.

The things in it were scattered in a room, but fortunately, they were neatly packed.

Xiao Wan's eyes squinted and searched among the various boxes, those big ones, which contained mostly large porcelain antiques, so there was no need to add more trouble to open them to see.

She walked a little deeper into the storeroom, and suddenly stopped at the north corner.

At the bottom, there is a treasure chest with a thin layer of ash.

Ignoring the ashes on her head, she threw away the handkerchief and touched it with both hands, lifting it up with all her might.

With a soft "bang", she had pulled out the bottom layer, empty, and there was nothing in it.

However, she put the treasure chest down, and only grasped the small drawer and did not let go.

Suddenly, Xiao Wan took out a letter from above.

It turns out that there is a mezzanine inside!

The letter was tinged with old yellow, and at a glance it looked like it was old.

She gasped twice and opened the letter.

The ink is faint, the paper is yellowed, and this letter is almost twenty years old!

It was written by Yan Jing when she was a teenager, and after handing it over to her brother Wan Jidao, it was handed over to her.

Although so many years have passed, she still remembers her pounding heart.

However, this letter made her confused.

She rarely walked outside, let alone climbed into a tree alone without her maidservant mother......

The person Yan Jingxin said on the letter is not like her at all, but like her sister who does not have the slightest ladylike appearance.

But no matter what she thinks, it always says her name.

――

Xiao Wanshi recalled the past, his face was different, he looked down and suddenly sneered, and muttered: "It's all fate......"

In the end, it was her and her son who survived.

She slowly took the letter and took it into her arms. (To be continued......)
