Knock knock

Zhang Lingyu knocked on the door gently.

"There's no one in the house." Han Tian frowned and listened for a long time and said.

The room was not angry at all, and it should be empty.

"Mother..." Zhang Lingyu's hand froze in mid-air, a little at a loss.

"Where does my aunt usually rest besides here?" Han Tian looked around the courtyard and asked.

"Usually, usually... That's right! Zhang Lingyu blinked her eyes and suddenly reacted. Buddha Hall! On weekdays, my mother recites Buddha in the Buddha hall! ”

She dragged Han Tian's hand and ran towards the Buddhist hall at the very edge of Zhang's Mansion, knocking on the door almost impatiently.

"Who?"

Not disappointed, a slightly vigilant female voice came from behind the door.

Zhang Lingyu was overjoyed.

This voice is Mama Li next to her mother!

Over the years, my mother has not been very respected in the house, and after a long time, many people have paid less attention to this housewife. Only this Mama Li, who has followed her since her mother married into the door, is loyal and honest wholeheartedly, and has always taken care of her.

"Mama Li! It's me! Afraid that the people outside the wall would hear it, Zhang Lingyu replied in a low voice.

The voice behind the door was quiet for a moment, and when it rang again, what it said surprised the two people outside the door.

"Miss, please go back, Madame said no."

Mama Li's voice sounded a little melancholy, but her words were categorical.

"Why!" Zhang Lingyu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Why didn't my mother see her?

"Huh... Eldest Miss, Mrs. said that you should be filial to the Han family's parents, and don't say that you are the daughter of the Zhang family in the future..."

"Mama Li, open the door for me and let me meet my mother!" Zhang Lingyu was a little excited, she reached out and slammed on the door, smashing the wooden door with a loud sound.

"Yu'er!" Han Tian was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed her arm and dragged the somewhat crazy girl back and held her in his arms.

"Yu'er, calm down!"

If such a big movement is heard by the officers and soldiers outside, it will be troublesome.

Imprisoning the person in his arms, Han Tian patted her back with some distress.

He could probably understand why Mrs. Zhang was closed to her daughter.

"Why doesn't my mother see me..."Zhang Lingyu's cry was a little broken, she whimpered for a while, and suddenly raised her head to look at the door, struggling to break free from Han Tian's arms.

"Let go of me, I'm going in!"

The volume was a little loud, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Han Tian's back.

"What people!" There was a loud shout outside the wall, followed by the sound of footsteps.

"Yu'er, we have to go!" Han Tian gasped and firmly grasped Zhang Lingyu's arm.

"Miss Lingyu, let's go, you are no longer the Zhang family." Mama Li probably also heard the movement outside, and said a little anxiously: "Madame is very good, the old slave will take care of her, you can rest assured." ”

"Young Master Han, Madame asked the old slave to bring you a word, please be kind to our Miss Lingyu and let her live well..."Mama Li's voice was slightly choked, and there was no movement after saying this.

"Juniors guaranteed." Han Tian solemnly responded.

Zhang Lingyu, who was covered in her mouth, whimpered, and her tears wet Han Tian's hands, so pitiful.

Listening to the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, Han Tian no longer hesitated and half-dragged the girl in his arms out of here.

"Ugh..."

In the slightly dimly lit Buddha hall, a long sigh sounded.

A woman in a plain gray dress knelt in front of a Buddha statue, the beads in her hand had stopped turning. Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes and was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth and asked Mama Li behind her, "Is the child okay?" ”

Mama Li touched it under her eyes, and her face with fine lines was a little relieved.

"Madam, the eldest lady looks very good, and Young Master Han loves the eldest lady very much."

"That's good..."Mrs. Zhang tilted her head slightly, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. The Han family and his wife are both very upright and righteous good people, and Yu'er will not be wrong to follow them. ”

Thankfully, fortunately.

Mrs. Zhang knelt quietly for a long time before continuing to turn the Buddha beads in her hand and reciting the Buddha in a low voice.

And no officers and soldiers came in.

It wasn't long before there was another knock outside the door.

"Who?" Mama Li, who was guarding the door, asked in a low voice.

"It's me." Zhang Guanyuan's slightly hoarse voice sounded outside the door.

"Madam, it's my lord," Mama Li reported in a low voice.

"Open the door."

The closed door was opened, and Zhang Guanyuan stepped into the Buddhist hall for the first time.

Furrowed by the incense, he looked at the slender woman kneeling on the futon, and said to Mama Li with a worried face behind him expressionlessly, "You go out first." ”

The faithful woman hesitated.

"Go and help me pack my bags, mama." Mrs. Zhang's voice was soft.

Mama Li answered, quietly glanced at Zhang Guanyuan, and then walked out of the Buddhist hall and closed the door.

Zhang Guanyuan, who had a very ugly face, took a deep breath and covered the haze under his eyes.

Even a lowly subordinate can ignore his orders, damn it...

"Master, there are no chairs in this Buddhist hall, you have been wronged." Mrs. Zhang slowly stood up, pointed to the futon on the side and said softly.

Her eyebrows and eyes were still as calm as usual, and she didn't seem to be angry or angry about the expulsion.

Zhang Guanyuan looked at the woman in front of him who had married into Zhang's mansion for nearly twenty-five years, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart after making eye contact with the latter.

It was this kind of indifferent alienation that seemed to see through everything, which made him unwilling to face it in his heart.

"Wan—" He opened his mouth to call her name, but suddenly paused.

Wanshu is still Wanhe, he can't remember clearly...

"Madame, I have something to ask you." He changed his tune and called Madame directly.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and knelt down facing the Buddha statue again.

"Master, the concubine is Chu Wanhe."

The woman's voice was very soft, and there was an ethereal feeling when listening to it in this Buddhist hall.

Where Mrs. Zhang couldn't see, Zhang Guanyuan frowned.

This woman is too transparent, so he would rather pamper that Cao.

"How much does Mrs. know about the Donglai Imperial Mausoleum, it's already like this, don't hide it anymore." He said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Zhang's always peaceful face finally changed a little, she looked up at the man standing beside her, her lips squirmed and said helplessly: "Master, the concubine has told you many times, and there is nothing but that letter. ”

"For a hundred years, the Chu family has been incognito and just wants to live an ordinary life. Leaving that letter is the only ancestral precept handed down by the ancestors, and there are really no more. ”

"Impossible! You Chu Qiu family will never know nothing. Zhang Guanyuan's words were categorical.
