The old man leaned back on the couch with the help of Ah Piao, and she waved at me.

"Boy, come to my wife, and let me take a closer look at you."

I hesitated for a moment, there was no good kind of person in their family, she seemed to be not lightly ill, and she could not pose a threat to me, so I slowly leaned towards her couch.

"I'm not just here to find my way today, am I?"

The old man grinned, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little, "The real purpose of your coming to the concubine's house is to find the answer in your heart." ”

She looked old, but she was not confused at all.

"What? It was said by his wife. The old man chuckled, reached out and took my hand, motioning for me to sit on her couch.

I stood still and didn't move, and a few of the Piao beside her looked at me resentfully, some angry, some jealous.

The old man took my hand, tightened it for three points, and blamed: "Look at what kind of expressions you have, which frightened my great-grandson, and I am not happy." ”

As soon as her words fell, a few Ah Piao beside her quickly knelt on the ground and bowed their heads to plead guilty.

"Alright, get up! I don't have to take care of it, I don't believe he will hurt me. The old man looked at me expectantly, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

To be honest, I only wanted to recognize the gate of the concubine family with Mo Xun today, but I didn't expect the concubine family to live in the palace, in addition to the etiquette, I was also stared at by so many Ah Piao, which really caught me off guard.

"Madam, where are you talking about, I came to study at the concubine's house, how dare I hurt you!"

Listening to my words, the corners of the old man's mouth raised slightly, let go of my hand, and waved at Ah Piao, this time, those Ah Piao did not hesitate, and disappeared into the air in an instant.

"Kid, you've suffered." The old man who was smiling just now became teary-eyed just for this moment.

"Madam, you don't know what to do with this."

She reached out and wiped the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, "Yu Li's child, I am the most optimistic among these heirs, she is not only beautiful, but also talented, but it's a pity that ......" she said halfway through and never continued.

Fei Li, the name that both the concubine and the resentful spirit mentioned in the Bafang compass, the old man in front of me was so affectionate to me, I could already be sure in my heart that Yu Li was my mother's name.

I slowly asked, "Madam, are you talking about my mother?" ”

The old man let out a long sigh, "My life is almost at the end of my life, and there are fewer and fewer things I can do, the concubine family is a big family, but no one can take my place." ”

As he spoke, the old man leaned in and patted the soft couch, "Child, sit down!" ”

I was moved by her expectant eyes, and an old man couldn't do anything to me, so I stepped forward and sat down on the couch.

"That's right, why are you so estranged from me?"

"Can Madame tell me about my mother?"

The old man's withered hand suddenly pulled open my collar, and I dodged back in shock, and let out a long sigh again, "Sure enough, Yu Li didn't choose the wrong person, and your father can be worthy of her." ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"The concubine family is the head of the eight major families, and the female is not passed on to the male, and the special inscription Jin Wen assigns the duties of the resentful spirit master, so as to determine the dignity and humility. In the era of male superiority and inferiority of women, several major families united against the concubine family, but they were shocked by the inscription of the golden inscription, the Yao family was expelled from the eight major families, and the concubine family exterminated the Yao family, and your ghost family made an oath that it would never be used by the concubine family. ”

Maybe it was too urgent, the old man coughed lightly a few times, and continued: "After such a long time, no one knows what happened back then, each family has its own family secret history, and the agreement of several major families fell apart once and again, the only thing that remains unchanged is the iron law of the concubine family, and anyone who wants to destroy the balance of yin and yang will be sanctioned by the concubine family." ”

Hearing the word sanctions, I anxiously interrupted her, "Then why did my mother leave the concubine's house?" ”

"Your ghost family is persistent, in order not to be bound by the concubine family, you don't hesitate to give up the right to engrave the golden text, if it weren't for the concubine Li and your father together, I really don't know, it turns out that the ghost family is hereditary golden text."

The hereditary Jin Wen of the ghost family, this news shocked me very much, if her words are true, then the ghost should have Jin Wen in the first place, what is the inheritance of Xu Jialin's mother when she is dying? What role does she play among us?

After a long silence, I plucked up the courage to ask the question that I had been avoiding all along, "Madam, do you know whether my mother is dead or alive?" ”

"Child, since half of your blood belongs to the concubine family, you should contribute to the concubine family, find your mother, and let her take my place."

Looking at the old man's firm eyes, she should have 100% trust in my mother, although I don't know much about the concubine family, but the relationships in the big family are complicated, not to mention, that concubine sacrifice is a thorn.

Seeing that I was silent for a long time, the old man stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, "Are you frightened by my words, or do you not believe that the girl is still alive." ”

"Madam, I have too many doubts in my heart, do you know? At first, I thought that finding a job, getting a wife, and having children was the life I should go. But when I went back to my hometown, everything changed. What the descendants of the ghost clan, what saves the future, these are like dreams to me. "The more I talked, the more emotional I became, and tears flowed down my eyes unconsciously.

The old man stretched out his hand to wipe away my tears and comforted me, "Good boy, grandma knows that you are bitter in your heart, but no matter where you were born, your identity has never changed, even if the ghost family does its best to protect you, it is not against the arrangement of fate." ”

I sobbed twice and asked, "Are you really my grandmother?" Now that the ghost family is only me and Ling'er, we don't know anything about the family's affairs at all. ”

The old man gently rubbed my hair, "Are you afraid of being deceived by Mo'er?" She asked softly, and then said: "They are all ancient families, there is no one who does not make any mistakes, from ancient times to the present, it is difficult to judge right and wrong, you young generation, there is still a lot to learn!" ”

"Madam, I remember that in the Bafang Compass, you also asked about the future of Ghost Ning, so, do you know now?" Actually, I wanted to ask more about the letter, but I didn't dare to believe her 100%.

I don't believe anyone in this world except my loved ones.

"Child, in the future, learn how to use the inscription gold inscription in the concubine's house, and when you become strong, you can protect the people you want to protect, and the future is not immutable."

Although the old man's attitude towards me was kind, he rarely answered my questions positively, and if I thought carefully about what she said today, there were only two things that I could be sure of, one was that my mother was still alive, and the other was the hereditary Jin Wen of the ghost family.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, going around and around, but she has not answered my question positively, and her words are worth believing.
