"I'll go, I'll go to the ancestral hall, don't cry, mother." Zhao Jingli saw his mother crying like this, and looked at his younger brother who rubbed his buttocks from time to time, and felt more and more guilty.

If he hadn't read that kind of script, he wouldn't have caused such a mess. If his younger brother was really hurt, it was not something he could make up for by kneeling in the ancestral hall. Thinking about what had just happened, he felt a little afraid.

Seeing Zhao Jingli obediently kneeling in the ancestral hall with his head down, the eldest lady hugged Xu Xi and cried even more sadly.

Xu Xi patted the eldest lady's back and sighed in his heart.

She could understand the big lady's collapse just now.

Zhao Jingli was carefully raised by her son, and as the first son, her feelings and expectations for Zhao Jingli must be far greater than that of Zhao Jingtai, who was completely disobedient. Now that she thinks about it, this child may not be her own, but the Wei family stole the beam and changed the pillars, and the pain, reluctance and hatred in her heart are really unimaginable to outsiders.

If Zhao Jingli was not born to her, then Zhao Jingtai may be her only son. The only son was thrown to the tree by Zhao Jingli and almost fell down to his death, thinking that the eldest lady's fear and hatred at that moment had reached the peak of all kinds of complicated feelings, and she couldn't help crying like this.

"Auntie, don't cry, maybe things aren't what we imagined? Perhaps, my guess was wrong. Xu Xi patted the eldest lady's back and comforted in a low voice.

"Nope." The eldest lady shook her head and cried, "The more I think about it...... The more I feel wrong. Nine times out of ten, your guess is true. ”

She stood up straight, stared at Xu Xi, reached out and touched her cheek, and cried again: "Try again, you'll know." ”

Looking at the painful appearance of the eldest lady, Xu Xizhen regretted that he had told that guess.

In this era, there is no DNA test, if the stable woman can't find it, she can't confirm 100% that Zhao Jingli is not her son, and the eldest lady is worried that Zhao Jingli is not her own son, so Wei's son takes advantage; On the other hand, he was worried that Zhao Jingli was really his son, and he blamed him and made a wrong decision. This kind of torment is all wrong, and it can take the life of the eldest lady.

Xu Xi couldn't help but ask the system in his mind: "System, how did you check it?" Is there a whereabouts of that stable woman? ”

After a long time, Xu Xi had already helped the eldest lady into the room with Caidie, and the voice of the system came from a distant place, and gradually came closer: "I only found that she was still alive five years ago." But five years ago, she moved again, and now the exact location of the move has not been found. ”

As long as people live, it's fine. And it only took a day or two for the system to find her traces from five years ago; If you want to check her current address again, it's only half a day or a day's work.

Xu Xi felt that the system was so reliable for the first time, and quickly slapped it with a rainbow fart: "Ah, you are so capable of the system, you can find out her whereabouts in such a day's work." It seems that it won't take half a day to find out my background. Come on, baby, my sister is optimistic about you. When my background is revealed, I will definitely earn points and let you fix the obstacles as soon as possible. ”

The system has been scolded for being "mentally retarded", and this is the first time it has been called "baby", and suddenly he became shy, and said awkwardly: "It's just generally capable, and the host just remember to brush up on the points." ”

After a pause, it said again: "I continue to check, there should be news soon, host, you are waiting for me." As he spoke, he was silent, and apparently went to investigate the affairs of Wenpo again.

Xu Xi bent the corners of her mouth, and saw that the eldest lady had washed her face and her emotions had stabilized, she said to the eldest lady with a look of determination: "Auntie, don't worry, you will find out." ”

"Well, I know, don't worry, I'm fine." The eldest lady smiled and patted her hands, "I'll take you to the storeroom." ”

"Let's do it another day. I can only use the piano I just received, and I can't use your piano even if I take it back today. Xu Xi said.

The eldest lady was also in a hurry to deal with things, but she didn't insist: "Okay, then another day." When I have time to be free, I'll ask someone to turn it out, and then I'll let you come and pick it out. ”

"Good. I'll go back first, auntie. ”

"Go ahead." The eldest lady called her mother-in-law again, "It's getting dark, you carry a lantern and prepare it, so that you can send the five girls back." ”

As soon as Xu Xi left, the eldest lady called her confidant: "Mama Zhou, you send someone to spread the news just now, especially the second room." By the way, let people keep an eye on the second room, and be sure to record the second lady's every move, joy, anger and sorrow, and report it to me. ”

Mama Zhou, like Mama Jin next to the old lady, is also the most trusted person of the eldest lady. When the eldest lady gave birth, she was busy with the affairs of the house and was not around. Later, Xu Xi put forward his own speculation, and the eldest lady didn't dare to tell Hou Ye when she came back, so she told Mama Zhou about the matter and asked her to help recall the original situation. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was very likely that they would be replaced.

Therefore, when she learned what happened today and listened to the eldest lady's instructions, Mama Zhou knew her intentions, and she didn't need to say much, she directly responded with a "yes", and took the order to go to contact the eyeliner placed in the second room.

The eldest lady has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, and she also has the means. It seems that the courtyards of the second and third rooms are not next to the big house, and the trivial affairs and subordinates in their rooms are also managed by the second and third wives. But except for their own companion room, the rest of the people were bought in by the eldest lady and then distributed, and the deed of sale was in the hands of the eldest lady. The monthly order is issued by the eldest lady, and if a slave makes a big mistake, the eldest lady will punish it. The eldest lady wanted to install or buy people in the two rooms, and it didn't take much effort at all.

After instructing Mama Zhou, the eldest lady went back to the outer room to sit and wait for the news.

"Madam, aren't you going to see the third young master?" Caidie felt that the eldest lady's expression today was very strange.

The eldest lady was in a bad mood just now, and the fifth girl was here again, and it was reasonable for the eldest lady to stay in the house. Now that the fifth girl is gone, the eldest lady looks fine, why don't you go out to see how the third young master is injured, but sit in the house and don't move?

This is not at all like the style of the eldest lady. The eldest lady is usually very attentive to her children. Even if it is Zhao Ruxin, who is a concubine, if she is injured, the eldest lady will go over to inquire in person.

The eldest lady waved her hand and glanced into the house, and saw that in addition to Caidie, another big girl, Caixia, was also in the house.

She instructed Caixia: "You go to the door, find a hidden place to stand, and see who is probing your brain nearby." ”

Caixia was confused, but she still agreed and went out very obediently.
