Rong Han only said one sentence, and then hid his body into the shadows in the alleyway. Jun Qinglan looked at it for a long time, but never saw where the man went. It was as if she was always the only one in this wide and empty alleyway, and she was a little congested.

He was inexplicably tied up by him to Duanwang's Mansion, and had a conversation with Li Congyao inexplicably, and now he was thrown on the street inexplicably.

Ask her to come and see someone? You should say hello to anyone in advance, so that people can have a bottom in their hearts. Is it really good to run away so quietly?

She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and raised her hand to knock on the door. Li Congyao categorically wouldn't do anything inconsequential, since he could order Rong Han to bring her here, he must have a reason to act like this.

What she didn't expect was that the courtyard door was not locked. The knuckles touched the door, and the old door opened on its own. Jun Qinglan pushed the door in, and there was a straight road in front of him, but there were half-human-high weeds all over, obviously no one had taken care of it for a long time. Luckily, the weeds are not dense and it is not particularly difficult to walk.

This courtyard is not big, only a main house at the end of the corridor, and then there are two wings in the east and west, which can be seen at a glance. Jun Qinglan stepped past the weeds and stood in front of the main house, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the house. The next moment, I saw a black shadow suddenly run out of the door of the house, rushed into the weeds in three or two steps and disappeared.

Jun Qinglan blinked, and only then did she have to take a closer look at what was in the room that had just rushed out. But she saw another man standing by the door and looking at her.

"You're ......." The man was a woman in her early forties, dressed in a dress of dusty kudzu, with her hair coiled up and an ebony hairpin in her slanted hairpin. Her sideburns were slightly white, and she squinted her eyes and looked at Jun Qinglan for a long time before she suddenly spoke again: "You are my benefactor!" ”

"Little third son, come on, this is our great benefactor, come and kowtow to your benefactor."

Before the woman had finished speaking, she heard the sound of the weeds. A small black shadow like a rabbit rushed out of the grass in an instant, and he couldn't help but kneel in front of Jun Qinglan's eyes. Only then did Jun Qinglan see that it was a five or six-year-old tanned boy.

Jun Qinglan frowned, and the boy had already kowtowed to her three times. Jun Qinglan was stunned in an instant, and he couldn't figure out what kind of situation was in front of him.

"Little Sanzi go back to the house, his body is getting better, don't go outside and run wildly." The woman deliberately lowered her voice and urged the boy into the house. Only then did he look at Jun Qinglan, and he also blessed her body in a proper manner.

"I've seen a benefactor."

"You ......." Jun Qinglan didn't open her mouth until this time: "Did you recognize the wrong person?" We've never seen it before. ”

The woman smiled and said, "Naturally, the benefactor has never seen a villain. However, the benefactor's name and villain have long been thunderous. It's very hot outside, so come in, benefactor. ”

The woman turned to the side and respectfully invited Jun Qinglan into the house. In the house, the little third son nested his body on the clay kang in the corner. A pair of eyes were clearly secretly looking at Jun Qinglan. Seeing that she was also looking at herself, she immediately withdrew her gaze and turned her whole body, pretending to sleep.

The woman saw through his trick at a glance but didn't stop it, only smiled and poured water for Jun Qinglan: "The villain doesn't have any good things here, the benefactor will use some water." ”

Jun Qinglan took the coarse porcelain tea bowl and thanked her, and her eyes quickly glanced around. The four walls of this house are made of loess mixed with straw, and the house is not framed, so that people can see the original color of the loess at a glance. The furnishings in the house are very simple, only a bed, a wardrobe and a table. Although the wardrobe table is not made of expensive wood, the paint color is very bright, which is not commensurate with the overall structure of the house. Apparently a new gadget that was just added.

Jun Qinglan half-furrowed her eyebrows. Duanwang Mansion is located in Xuanwu District, with a prominent geographical location, and the neighbors are all nobles. How could such a dilapidated mansion exist in such a place? Completely unimaginable.

"Since the benefactor instructed Rong Ye to place our ancestors and grandchildren here, we have been looking forward to seeing the benefactor as soon as possible day and night." The woman smiled and spoke.

"You're just afraid that you've really recognized the wrong person." Jun Qinglan said: "Before I came here today, I never knew that there were two such characters in the world. I didn't even know it existed. ”

The woman still had a smile on her face, as if she was not surprised by what Jun Qinglan said: "Rong Ye said this to the villain. He said that he rescued us from the bandits solely because we were of great use to you, so you are our benefactor. ”

“…… Kindness? Jun Qinglan was stunned, and it sounded even more unbelievable.

"Since we stayed here, we haven't seen anyone else except Rong Ye. He said that if one day the villain sees someone other than him entering the courtyard, that person is our true benefactor. Isn't that what he's talking about? ”

"Yes...... bar. Jun Qinglan said, according to this statement. The woman's benefactor may sound like her, but ...... What's the deal with the well-deserved embarrassment?

"You can't be wrong again." The woman said quickly: "Rong Ye instructed the villain, saying that when he met his benefactor, he would tell you his story without omission. If you have any questions, we will let us know. ”

"The villain's husband's surname is Su, and the big guys are called the villain Aunt Su. The child was the grandson of the villain's own cousin. Our family all worked under the hands of the shopkeeper of Deng Kee Silk Village. The villain's man and son are the buddies and stewards in his shop. The villain and the daughter-in-law are waiting by the second lady's side. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Su's voice paused, and her eyes were dyed with a little sadness: "Although the villain's owner is not very generous, he has never treated our family badly. Originally, we did a good job at the Deng family, but that day, the second miss suddenly hanged herself. In a fit of rage, the proprietor kicked us all out of the Deng family. What will we do? In addition to serving people, there is no longer the ability to serve, but fortunately, the second lady is generous, and she has saved some silver over the years. I thought about going back to my hometown in the countryside and buying a few acres of thin fields to plant. If it is really not good, I will find another job to serve people. Where did you think of ....... ”

Aunt Su suddenly became dumb, raised her hand and wiped her tears: "When we went out of the city and walked to Lotus Mountain, we met a group of bandits, who not only robbed us and returned ....... ”

Aunt Su choked up: "Fortunately, Rong Ye's son passed under the mountain, and our family survived the villain and the third son." After Rong Ye brought us back to the city, we have been living in this courtyard ever since. ”

On the earthen kang, the little third son heard Aunt Su mention that her family was also touched, and she whimpered. Aunt Su quickly ran to the side of the bed and hugged him in her arms, wiping his tears while comforting him in a low voice.

Jun Qinglan was completely shocked, she would never have thought that there were such two people in this small courtyard. Cui Tai wore Deng Rou's wedding dress before he died, but Deng Rou died earlier than Cui Tai. If everything is a coincidence, what reason does Deng Chunwang have to drive away all the people who served Deng Rou? This inevitably raises suspicions that he was trying to cover it up. The most strange thing is that after leaving the Deng family, Aunt Su's family encountered many accidents. Is it intentional or unintentional?

How could Li Congyao be so coincidental and just happened to save this grandfather and grandson? What is his role in this matter?

"Is the person who rescued you from the bandits Rong Xi or Rong Han?"

Aunt Su shook her head: "I don't know Rong Ye's name, I only know the surname Rong." ”

Jun Qinglan didn't dwell too much on this issue, whether it was Rong Xi or Rong Han, it was Li Congyao's meaning after all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen them in such a place today.

"After Deng Rou's death, how many people did Deng Chunwang drive out?"

"Not a few...... Not a lot, either. Aunt Su thought for a while and said, "We are a family of five, and there are two maids close to the second lady, and there are no more." ”

"After leaving the Deng family, do you know where the two maids around Deng Rou went?"

"Yes." Aunt Su sighed and said, "We originally went all the way, saying that we would wait until we passed Tongxian County and then separate and return to our hometowns." I didn't know that when I arrived at Lotus Mountain, I was in trouble. ”

Jun Qinglan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "You mean, among all the people who left the Deng family at the beginning, only your ancestors and grandchildren are alive?" ”

"Yes."

Jun Qinglan was speechless for a long time. She had a lot of questions about Deng Rou's death, and as early as when she was in the Deng family, she wanted to find the person who served her at the beginning and asked carefully. Deng Chunwang drove everyone away, and now he is still so clean?

There must be a problem!

"What is your identity by Deng Rou's side?"

"I have been serving Miss Er since she was born, and Miss Meng Er can afford it and ask me to be a housekeeper mother."

Jun Qinglan nodded: "So, you can see Deng Rou's diet and daily life with your own eyes?" ”

"Exactly."

"What do you like about Deng Rou?"

"Our young lady is very talented, and she is very interested in doing business. In addition, he learns things quickly, and since he was four or five years old, he has been running to the shop with the owner every day. She used to be busier than us in the past, where did she have the time to pay attention to any hobbies? When I saw her, she was always planning to check the accounts. It's not like other ladies to learn anything like other ladies, such as piano, chess, books, and paintings. ”

Jun Qinglan sighed for a while and said, "Since you said that Deng Rou is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why is there a picture of Hongmei Aoxue hanging on the wall outside her bedroom?" Moreover, it can be seen from the pen that the picture can be regarded as some accomplishment in both painting and writing. ”

"That." Aunt Su said: "I really know that painting, Miss only said that it was given by a friend." When I brought it back, it was not framed, but my man took it to a good craftsman and framed it. Since then, the young lady has been like a baby, and she has to look at that drawing for a long time every day. ”

"Where's the female red?" Jun Qinglan changed the conversation and stopped mentioning the matter of Hongmei Aoxuetu: "Deng Rouke likes female red? ”

"It's even more of a joke." Aunt Su smiled and said, "Our young lady goes out early and returns late every day, and she is the most impatient with those time-consuming and energy-consuming things. But....... ”

She groaned slightly, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "When the benefactor asked about this, I suddenly remembered a strange thing. ”
