Yanran stretched out her hand and nodded her husband's forehead: "You are also smart on weekdays, are you staying or stupid today?" This kind of thing, although the family is secret, but my grandma said when she was alive that the rich and noble family locked these many young and beautiful women in the backyard and set up many guards, but they only locked people and couldn't lock their hearts. This trick in the backyard, the head of the house has one heart and two eyes, how can he manage it? ”

Rong Qi's mouth was closed at this time: "It turns out that there are really these things, I originally thought that these should be those women who have no food and clothing, and they will only go to ...... in order to eat and wear" Rong Qi said that he would not say anything, Yanran had already sighed: "So you see, those who have made a fortune think that buying a few concubines is a very face-saving thing, but these concubines, not the puppies and kittens, but people, will give birth to their own thoughts." ”

Give birth to your own thoughts, how can this heart be locked? Rong Qi held Yanran's hand: "I know, Yanran, in my backyard, there will only be you, and there will be no one else." Yan Ran took a bite of him, then smiled again, and Rong Qi held Yan Ran's hand tighter.

Qiulan was already outside and said, "Grandma, Sister-in-law Lu wants to say a word to grandma." "That Mrs. Lu is the person Yan Ran ordered to look at Chu Lan. Yanran and Rong Qi sat down separately, and Mrs. Lu walked in, and saluted Yanran before saying, "Grandma, Fang Chulan is crying again." ”

When Chu Lanchu was locked up, he also cried for many days, but he got better slowly, and now, why are he crying again? Yanran sighed, and Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma, it's better to open the door and go in, plug her mouth and tie it up, and when her father and mother come, give it to her father." ”

Chu Lan's father and mother will come in these two or three days, and now Yanran understands why the Zhou family came to this trick. Yan Ran's eyes drooped, and she didn't speak.

Rong Qi wanted to say yes, but he felt that it was better to leave the matter in the backyard to his wife, so he sat there obediently and did not speak. After a while, Yanran raised her head, and closed Chu Lan, in fact, to protect her life, but now look, Chu Lan doesn't even want her life.

As soon as this woman lost her heart, she let others make the decision, although Yan Ran had never seen a few cases, she had heard a lot. So Yanran stood up with his hands on the table: "Let's go and take a look." ”

"But, grandma, what if this Chulan is not good for you?" Mrs. Lu said worriedly, and smiled with her lips, since she wants to watch the play, then she will do what she wants, and see what tricks she plays?

Seeing that Yanran continued to walk out, Mrs. Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and when she walked out of the house, the maid also followed. At this moment, the twilight has been shrouded, and there is no light in the sky. In Yanran's heart, she didn't know what it was like to walk to the place where Chu Lan was closed.

Seeing Yanran coming, another mother-in-law hurriedly opened the door, and then said respectfully: "Grandma, look at the little one, I'm afraid that this Chulan girl wants to ......" The mother-in-law didn't spit out the two words "Death, after all, it's unlucky." Besides, there are many maids who have found their deaths, and there are many parents who rely on the Lord's family. Yan Ran was surprised, nodded and walked into the house.

When Chu Lanchu was given to Rong Qi by Master Rong, he was still afraid that he could also help Rong Erye, but who knew that as soon as he walked into the courtyard of the third room, Yanran ordered to lock himself up, and now he has been closed for half a month, except for the mother-in-law's three meals a day, no one even said a word to herself.

Chu Lan also cried, scolded and begged, but couldn't get anything. Gradually, Chu Lan thought that it was better to die, but she thought that she would not be able to see Second Master Rong before she died, and she was reluctant to die. Today, the maid beside Zhou's side suddenly came to the window, and only said that Second Master Rong already knew about Chu Lan, but he couldn't save Chu Lan, so he just wanted to ask Chu Lan if he could help him the most rear.

Chu Lan didn't understand the meaning of Rong Erye's words, and she was just resentful when she heard it, but then the maid handed in something through the crack in the window. Chu Lan saw at a glance that it was the handkerchief who had been in love at the beginning, and took it like a treasure. When I opened it, inside was a letter folded into a concentric victory.

Chu Lan was originally illiterate, but after entering the Rong family and gradually being reused, she also began to learn to write and read accounts, although she couldn't read many words, but it was no problem to read the letter. Besides, Second Master Rong's handwriting Chu Lan also recognizes it, and when he opens it, it starts with Lan Er Qingqing. With just these four words, Chu Lan felt that everything was worth it. After holding the letter in his heart for a long time, he slowly looked down again, Rong Erye first confided in his lovesickness, resented his powerlessness, and then said that if he could be the head of the family, he would take Chulan's father and mother and treat him like his own father.

This letter, coupled with what the maid just said, Chu Lan already understood that by now, she only had this life and some use. Whether it's hanging or cutting your neck, only in this way can you help Rong Erye.

Chu Lan read silently for a long time, thought about it and thought about it, and decided to do the last thing for the second master as said in this letter, so that the second master will always have himself in his heart. Just thinking of this, Chu Lan still couldn't help crying, at this moment she heard the door open, and then the light of the candle came in, Chu Lan's eyes couldn't help blinking, looking at Yan Ran who was surrounded by everyone in front of her, Chu Lan didn't get up and just looked at her.

"Grandma, this girl is becoming more and more disobedient." Saying that, Mrs. Lu shouted: "Chu Lan, you are crying, grandma knows the truth, and she is kind enough to visit you, why don't you get up and salute?" Are you still the proud man next to the master? Even if you are a proud person next to the master, you have to bow to the third grandmother. ”

"It's just a maid, and now she's also a grandmother, what a righteous servant, it's just that your old master said it soundly." Chu Lan was determined to die, and suddenly felt disheartened, and she didn't want to think about those etiquettes anymore, so her voice was cold and authentic.

Mrs. Lu immediately blushed, but Yanran didn't care, and walked to Chu Lan, the mother-in-law hurriedly put down a chair, and Yan Ran sat down before looking at Chu Lan and said, "Listen to what you say, you also want to be a righteous servant." ”

Yan Ran didn't get angry, didn't let people kill herself immediately, Chu Lan really didn't expect it, hearing Yan Ran's words, Chu Lan snorted in her nose: "My life is not good, if I serve people, I can only be a righteous servant to repay the master for treating me well." ”

"Then your master, I don't know if it's my uncle or my husband?" Yan Ran still smiled calmly, this question was something Chu Lan couldn't imagine, she opened her mouth, but she also knew that she couldn't say that it was Rong Erye, so she only said vaguely: "I am the maid of the Rong family, and naturally the master of the Rong family is my master." ”

"That's not bad!" Yanran nodded and praised, the more vigilant Chu Lan became, and she almost shouted: "Don't think about tricking me." ”

"Wrap your words? Chu Lan, you can't help but think a little too high of yourself. Yan Ran's words angered Chu Lan, she stood up and looked at Yan Ran: "You, you are now a grandmother, you naturally don't understand......"

"Grandma, how can you be presumptuous?" Mrs. Lu shouted. Yanran still looked at Chu Lan, and the smile on her face did not change: "Why don't I understand?" Chu Lan, you think that you are loyal to your master, even if you lose such a life, you have to pull my family into the water, naturally you also think that that person will think of your good, treat your parents very well, and even look forward to it, many years later, he will be the master of the house, will give you in the ancestral hall, set up a small tablet, on it, the position of righteous servant. ”

This almost said all of Chu Lan's thoughts, she didn't speak and just looked at Yan Ran. Yan Ran still smiled and said: "But, as I just said, your identity was originally to serve your uncle, and later you were given to the third master by your uncle, then you will never be that person's righteous servant." Never, it cannot be honored by that man in the open. ”

"No, he treats me differently." Chu Lan shouted excitedly, and the smile on Yanran's lips did not change: "Really? Then we might as well make a bet. ”

"I don't listen to you, I want to live or die, it has nothing to do with you." Chu Lan was just about to agree, but suddenly remembered Second Master Rong's letter, and immediately shook her head.

It seems that between her and Second Master Rong, there is really a deep relationship, or rather, Chu Lan has a deep relationship. Yan Ran thought in her heart and got up and said, "In that case, if you want to die, die." But what I want to tell you is that your death won't change anything. ”

"When I die, my father and mother will come to the door to seek justice for me, and then you will force the waitress to die, and your reputation will be ruined." Chu Lan's words made Yan Ran still smile like that: "The yamen is open, and there is no reason to come in without money." Shi Tongju is your third master's old acquaintance, even if your father and mother can really slander me and force you to death, but you committed suicide, not me to kill you with a knife. There is no reason for the master to kill the maid and maid, not to mention that you are just committing suicide. Besides, even if my reputation is bad, you just said that I am just a maid, I can't even endure this, and I'm afraid I can't bear anything else? Besides, if I do more good deeds and give more money to the poor, they will soon forget what your father and mother said, and they will think that you have deceived me by dying. Chu Lan, have you thought about all this? ”

Don't say that Chu Lan didn't think so far, even those mothers-in-law and maids didn't think that far. Mrs. Lu couldn't help nodding in her heart, no wonder this grandmother was married by three media and six hired by three media and six people with such a background, these words, such knowledge, such a fear, it is really rare.

Chu Lan was still standing there, and Yan Ran smiled lightly: "Look, you are dead, but you were just briefly said a few words, my life is still the same as before, but you, it's completely different." When you die, you won't be able to smell the fragrance of flowers, hear the sound of birds clearly, and even see the people you have in mind. ”

Chu Lan was already a little shaken, but she still refused to speak, and Yan Ran smiled again: "Since you want to die, Mother Lu, go and tell the kitchen, send an eight-treasure duck plus a few refreshing side dishes, and then take a pot of wine." The court still refuses to kill people who starve to death, don't blame us for thinking too little. ”
