"Yes." Rong Changning glanced at Aunt Xu on the side: "Rong Yu is ten years old!" Even if he didn't understand the reason, wouldn't anyone in his yard understand? No one told him what to wear? The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and now even the maids in the house know that the difference between the Lugasa Courtyard and the Wanqing Courtyard is better, and the father only listens to the pillow wind when he closes his eyes, has he opened his eyes to manage the warmth and coldness of his daughter and son? ”

Rong Chuan asked Rong Changning rhetorically: "Is the difference between the people in the courtyard good, you don't ask yourself, but come to ask your father, do you think I'm not busy enough all day, do you have to stare at you one by one to be careful?" ”

Hearing this, Aunt Xu also knelt down in front of Rong Chuan, and begged unexpectedly: "Master Hou, you really can't be convicted just by Ah Yu's empty mouth and white teeth, and if you blindly punish you, people will think that I, as an aunt, are bullying my sister-in-law." I'm just a concubine, and I don't dare to do such a rebellious thing if I lend me a hundred guts. Master Hou, give me a way to live, let me take my two children to live well in Lujiayuan, the concubine just wants to live well in this place with a big palm. ”

"Pushing my brother into the water today, and maybe he will do it to my father tomorrow, and spreading it out, it really makes people laugh and lose their teeth. This is not a trivial matter and will not be tolerated. With that, Rong Chuan let go of the wooden staff and let Rong Changning hold it in his hand.

The window of the ancestral hall was not tight, and the cold wind came in through the cracks, which was so cold that the hearts of the three brothers and sisters were cold, Rong Changning stared at the wooden staff in his hand in disbelief: "Father doesn't believe in Ah Ruo......"

"The evidence is overwhelming."

"Ironclad evidence? Where did the father find the ironclad evidence?! Give your daughter a good look! Rong Changning had never shouted to Rong Chuan like this, she had never felt so difficult to argue, and she was aggrieved to the extreme: "Father, mother has only been there for less than two months, do you want to kill her only son to make amends for your concubine?" ”

A big hand suddenly fell on Rong Changning's face, as if it was a wind blowing, making Rong Changning a little unresponsive. Even Aunt Xu, who was standing aside, was stunned, Rong Chuan pointed at Rong Changning: "My father has never beaten you, this slap is to teach you, the children in the family are not divided into grandchildren, and they are passed down from one line to another." I thought you were the most sensible child in the house, but you repeatedly slandered your aunt and shouted about what she was going to do, which is really disappointing. ”

Rong Changning looked at his father blankly, covering his hot half of his face, not knowing what else to say. Aunt Xu's eyes widened as if she was frightened by Rong Chuan, but in Rong Changning's eyes, her horror also covered up indescribable pride.

"Mother has only been gone for less than two months......"

Rong Ling, who was kneeling on the side, carefully pulled Rong Changning's sleeve: "Changning, don't say it again." ”

"Yes, your mother has only been there for less than two months, and the house is in chaos. It can be seen that there is no housewife in the family, and those who should abide by the rules have forgotten the rules. When he said this, Rong Chuan's eyes involuntarily glanced at Aunt Xu on the side.

Such a sentence will also lead my father to Fuzheng Aunt Xu.

But Rong Changning also knows that his mother's status is noble, and it is inevitable that she will be truthful, and at this time, her father will not continue the strings, let alone correct Aunt Xu.

Without waiting for Rong Changning to figure out how to reply, he saw Rong Chuan's big hand wave, revealing a little impatience: "Kneel here, kneel down at dawn." ”

Rong Ling on the side didn't dare to say a word, and when she heard that her younger brother was going to kneel in the ancestral hall all night, she said: "Then I ...... too"

I don't want Rong Chuan to glare: "You go out!" Lock the door and don't give it to dinner. ”

"Yes."

Everyone left, leaving only Xiaodong and Rong Ling. Rong Ling took Rong Ruo's hand and didn't want to go out, but Steward Yang at the door reminded her: "Miss, it's time to lock the door." ”

"Xiaodong, take the eldest sister back."

"Ah Ruo, Changning. You should not speak to your father like that. ”

The two stubborn people knelt on the ground and no one said a word, Rong Ling had no choice, took off his cloak and took out a fire fold and stuffed it into Rong Changning's hand.

Rong Changning raised his eyes to look at the eldest sister, and then looked at the fire fold, which should have been brought from the small kitchen outside. In the meantime, Rong Changning immediately understood, and quietly put the fire fold into his sleeve. The eldest sister turned to leave, and the door behind her closed and locked.

The ancestral hall was so quiet that people felt frightened, Rong Changning stared at his mother's tablet, and the gold paint used for writing on it was still new.

Rong Ruo, who was kneeling beside him, whispered: "Second sister, my father doesn't believe me." ”

Rong Changning sneered, raised his hand, picked up the cloak left by the eldest sister and draped it on Rong Ruo's body: "Where does my father not believe you?" ”

Rong Ruo sneered: "What my father said, the second sister also heard it." ”

"Father, I'm waiting for you and me to talk back, and find a reason to punish you and show it to the people in Lukayuan."

"Really?"

Rong Changning knelt beside him and nodded: "Hmm." Who would believe that a fourteen-year-old would jump on his own? The father couldn't find the evidence, so he ...... So he can only make a show first, lest someone say that he is biased. ”

Whether it's true or not, Rong Changning doesn't know. She only knew that this cold winter was too cold, and she didn't want Rong Ruo's heart to be cold with her, so she comforted Rong Ruo and comforted herself.

The slender little hand unconsciously touched the white and translucent jade bracelet on his left wrist.

This is a pair of bracelets left by his mother, one of his eldest sisters, and his mother also asked someone to use the same piece of jade to carve a jade pendant for Rong Ruo.

The temperature on the bracelet reminded Rong Changning of his mother's hands that were firmly clenched on her deathbed.

On that day, her mother asked someone to send the eldest sister and Ah Ruo out, and she opened her eyes as much as possible in one breath and told her: "Changning, you can't cry." ”

Rong Changning clenched his mother's hand, watching his mother, who was so charming and smiling, become the body of the broken candle now, and talked about his life and death as a matter of course, Rong Changning could only hold back tears and answer: "Okay, Changning doesn't cry." ”

"Your eldest sister is soft-natured, Ah Ruo is too simple, only you can carry it accurately, you have to take care of them more."

"My mother is just a little sick, and I went to Changqing Valley to ask my uncle to leave home, and I should go to the imperial city in less than half a month. The imperial doctor is also in the house, and it will be fine. ”

The mother didn't speak, just smiled, squeezed Rong Changning's hand and told her: "You still have to be careful of Lukayuan, no matter how unsatisfactory the three of you are after your mother goes, you have to hold on, you must hold on!" At least until Arro's successful attack on the knight. ”

Saying that, her mother grabbed Rong Changning's hand and gasped fiercely: "You have to ...... for your mother." Substitute ......"

"I know, don't say it mother, Changning knows. Changning will take good care of the eldest sister and Ah Ruo, and her mother will definitely get better when she recovers with peace of mind. If I don't cry, Changning won't cry...... Changning only begged his mother ......"

Rong Changning's forehead touched her mother's hand, and she prayed and begged her mother to stay. But her mother couldn't breathe for half a breath, and looked at Rong Changning's hair and broke her breath.

The white flags at the gate of the Hou Mansion flew wantonly in the middle of winter, and the cold wind blowing through the white flags also blew on Rong Changning's face. Just like today's wind, with a cold thorn across people's faces.

It was only later that Rong Changning learned that the runaway uncle in Changqing Valley would not see the disease, but he was very good at making poison and detoxifying.

After Aunt Xu gave birth to her son Rong Yu from Lukayuan, her mother was constantly sick and sick. Half a year ago, a small wind chill actually made my mother sick, and she never got up again until she was worn out by the illness and the lamp withered.

The mother told Liren to go to the Valley of Affection to invite her uncle who left home, and she should have noticed that she had been sick for half a year, and there were endless strange things.

Is it Aunt Xu's poison? But the Imperial Doctor didn't see anything.

But Rong Changning knows that life is meritorious, as long as things are done subtle and extreme, it is always difficult to detect.

The father does things at a glance, does not argue about right and wrong, only looks at the evidence, and treats his children without distinguishing between right and wrong. What's more, Aunt Xu also has a son and a daughter for her father.

Therefore, before finding solid evidence, Rong Changning didn't dare to tell his father rashly.

I only kept my mother's words in my heart one by one, and engraved them in my heart along with Orogasain.
