Chapter 8 The Second Lady in the Confusion

"Second Young Master, why are you here again?" Cui'er immediately shut up.

"Again?" Seeing the person coming clearly, Bai Qiuchi let go of him, "It turned out to be the second young master." ”

Hu Yanbin stood up straight and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I'll come and see Se...... Sister-in-law, let's go. ”

"Wait, Second Young Master, there are some questions I still want to ask for advice from the poor road!" Bai Qiuchi made a "please" gesture and pointed to the outhouse.

Originally, according to his identity, Hu Yanbin could be completely ignored, but the person in front of him might be able to save Se Ning? He originally had a good impression of Bai Qiuchi, and felt that this person was not simple, there were too many things that had happened in the family recently, and he also wanted to know the truth.

"Second Young Master, please take a seat." Bai Qiuchi sat down and poured tea for both of them.

"Bai Dao Chief, if you have anything to say, just ask directly." Hu Yanbin is very refreshing.

Bai Qiuchi didn't speak, he didn't expect him to be so cooperative, and because he wanted to ask too much, he took a sip of the teacup and said, "I want to ask about the fire three years ago." "Let's start with the source.

"Three years ago?" Hu Yanbin also froze for a moment, but he didn't expect him to ask this question.

"It is said that three years ago, there was a big fire in your house, what was the cause of the fire?"

"Actually, to be honest, I don't have much memory of the fire, I remember that the whole family was just going out at that time, so I left some people to watch the house."

"Didn't you escape?"

"Hmm...... Yanping didn't go with us because he was sick, but one of the family members escaped with him on his back, and the others ......" Speaking of this, Hu Yanbin's expression was a little sad.

"Where is that guy now?" It seems that the person concerned needs to be asked to understand the situation.

"That family member was also injured, and he exhausted his strength by carrying Yanping to a safe place, and he died. When we got home, all we saw was burnt ruins. ”

"How long have you been traveling?"

"I didn't go very far, maybe a day or two, I can't remember."

"What was the state of the Third Young Master when he was discovered?"

"Hikohei hasn't spoken since the fire, and his health has deteriorated."

"Does he still communicate with people?" The third young master is the only witness to the fire.

"He didn't communicate much with people originally."

"Can the third young master write?"

"No," Hu Yanbin shook his head, "Yanping, this child has been frail since he was a child, and his father didn't want him to inherit the family business, so he didn't ask anyone to teach him." ”

It's really a bit difficult to do now, but you still have to find a way to communicate with the third young master.

"So, when did the renovation of the new house begin? How long has it been built? ”

"I don't remember this, then we lived in the city temporarily, and then we didn't know when we moved back," he frowned and thought about it, "It seems like we came back here all of a sudden...... Ah——!h ”

Hu Yanbin suddenly fell to the ground in pain and convulsed.

"Second Young Master!" Bai Qiuchi hurried over to help him.

"My head...... It hurts! It hurts! Hu Yanbin couldn't help screaming, his expression was distorted, and he rolled all over the ground, Bai Qiuchi couldn't support him at all, so he had to click on his acupoint and let him fall asleep temporarily.

Originally, I wanted to ask about the situation of the eldest young master and the other people in the mansion, but I could only do it temporarily.

"Cui'er, you take care of the second young master." Although Bai Qiuchi was worried about their situation, he didn't want to sit still, so he decided to go directly to the eldest young master.

He's the only one, and he's really lacking in skills.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This girl, is the eldest young master in the room?" Bai Qiuchi asked the maid guarding the door.

"This ...... He's not here. Seeing that it was Bai Qiuchi, the maid hesitated.

Bai Qiuchi knew that he was actually inside, but he couldn't break in, so he had to say, "The young master is busy, it's inconvenient to disturb, can you ask the girl's name?" ”

"The slave's name is Lei'er."

"Miss Lei'er, can you take a step to speak?"

"Hmm...... Good. "The eldest young master asked her to stay outside the door, not to be disturbed, and if anyone comes, she will drive away, but she thinks that Bai Daochang is a good person, and he will definitely be able to solve the affairs of the house, if only he could help.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They sat on stone chairs under a large locust tree some distance from the room.

There are a lot of locust trees planted in the courtyard of the eldest young master, which makes Bai Qiuchi very puzzled. The reason why the locust tree is called the locust tree is because the locust tree is the ghost in the wood, because of its heavy yin qi and easy to attract ghosts to possess, and it is forbidden to plant near the house in feng shui.

"Miss Lei'er, don't be nervous, Poor Dao wants to know about the situation in the mansion so that things can be resolved."

"Bai Dao Chief, please ask, if the slave can answer, she will tell the truth."

"Thank you girl first, when did the girl come to Hufu?"

"The slave has followed the young master since she was a child, and she still ...... It's been more than 10 years. "She is the young master's personal maid and grew up with Hu Yanshi.

"The girl doesn't have to be so formal, presumably the girl must be very concerned about the young master's affairs, and she knows it very well."

"I can't say that," Lei'er smiled helplessly, "Once, I thought I knew the eldest young master very well. ”

"Ever?"

"We grew up together, and he wasn't as domineering and inflammatory, as others say now, and he didn't treat me like a subordinate, just like a big brother." Speaking of this, Lei'er, who was immersed in the memories, must have remembered something, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, "The eldest young master has been smart and capable since he was a child, the master values him very much, and has spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, he is the pride of the Hu family, and he will definitely be the pillar of inheritance of the family business in the future." ”

"What is the relationship between the eldest young master and the other elders in the family?"

"I can't say this," Lei'er hesitated, "the old lady used to love the most...... It should be the third young master, right? Of course, the old man and the eldest lady are the most painful young masters. The third lady also seems to like the young master, and I don't know the second lady very well. ”

In this way, the status of the second young master in the family is not high.

"What about the relationship between the three young masters?"

"Hmm...... The third young master rarely appears, and he has a better relationship with the two young ladies, as for the eldest young master and the second young master...... I always feel like I can't put it into words. Bai Daochang, forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know how to describe it. ”

It seems that the third young master can start from the two young ladies to understand, and the relationship between the two young masters is really delicate, and the second young master is also too concerned about his sister-in-law, right?

"It's okay, Miss Lei'er, you've helped you a lot. Forgive Poor Dao for being presumptuous, Poor Dao still wants to know the story of the eldest young master and the young lady......"
