Yan Qiluo nodded and walked in slowly.

No. 17 Minnan Road.

It is an old courtyard house.

At the time of demolition, it was set aside separately and made into a tea house.

In the surrounding world of high-rise buildings, there is such a quiet world, which is indeed a big surprise.

The people who come here to drink tea are all either rich or expensive.

Yan Qiluo was able to come in because she was the young grandmother of the Wen family, otherwise she would not have been able to enter this place.

As soon as Yan Qiluo entered the tea house, as soon as he identified himself, someone immediately took Yan Qiluo into a room.

Yan Qiluo looked up at the name of this room—Lan Xuan.

Is it a coincidence? Why orchids?

Yan Qiluo didn't stop too much, and went in directly with the waiter.

"Your guest, your guest has arrived." The waiter said respectfully.

"Okay, you can go." Old Madam Zhong's voice came out of the screen, "Kira, come here." There is no third person here besides me. ”

Yan Qiluo paused, and then walked over.

Crossing the screen, Yan Qiluo saw Mrs. Zhong sitting upright on the sandalwood custom-made kang, slowly making tea.

Yan Qiluo didn't say hello, and sat directly opposite Old Madam Zhong, watching Old Madam Zhong pour herself a cup of tea.

Old Madam Zhong just looked at Yan Qiluo, who was silent for two seconds, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have changed a lot." Old Madam Zhong looked at the current Yan Qiluo and nodded with satisfaction.

Yan Qiluo's temperament is gradually changing.

This is particularly obvious to those who are familiar with her.

Especially now that it's Yan Qiluo, it's as if the whole person has become another person.

Firm, calm, and with a hint of indifference.

"Old Madam Zhong called me, presumably not to compliment me, right?" Yan Qiluo calmly put down the teacup, and looked directly at her own grandmother, the title has not changed, which means that she refuses to return to the Zhong family.

A smile flashed at the corner of Old Madam Zhong's mouth.

She didn't care about Yan Qiluo's title.

She also knew that no one would accept such a thing easily. What's more, that person is Yan Qiluo?

"The Zhong family is coming to an end." Old Madam Zhong said this thoughtlessly.

Yan Qiluo frowned instantly!

Zhong Jia...... How could it be over?

Old Madam Zhong poured Yan Qiluo a cup of tea again, and said slowly: "On the day you and Zhong Tianxiao were born more than twenty years ago, I began to prepare for this moment. Especially after Zhong Tianxiao's death, the Zhong family's industry has shrunk to the extreme. And now, it is time for the Zhong family to die out completely. ”

Yan Qiluo raised her eyes and looked at Old Madam Zhong in surprise, but she didn't say anything.

Old Madam Zhong didn't seem to need Yan Qiluo to respond to herself, and said to herself: "It's really fate, no one can hide from it." I have secretly transferred most of the Zhong family's property outside, and the only thing left of the Zhong family now is the ones on the surface. Money can be ignored, but those books are the essence of the Zhong family's nearly five hundred years of inheritance. If the Zhong family is completely wiped out, if these books are too late to be transported, I hope you can help to say goodbye. Even for the sake of preserving the cultural heritage of humanity, don't start with these books. ”

Yan Qiluo really didn't understand at this time.

Why does Mrs. Zhong look like she is explaining what happened?

How could the Zhong family ...... Defeated to this extent? Can't even keep your own book collection?

"I know that you don't recognize the Zhong family at all now, and you won't recognize the mission and responsibility of the Zhong family. However, there is nothing wrong with your parents. For your parents' sake, hold on to the last bit of the Zhong family. Old Madam Zhong's eyes fell on Yan Qiluo's body fixedly, waiting for Yan Qiluo's answer.

Yan Qiluo was silent for a while, and finally nodded silently.

After receiving Yan Qiluo's reply, Old Madam Zhong said as if relieved: "That's fine." is finally worthy of the ancestors of the Zhong family! If this part of the classics is lost, the Zhong family is afraid that they will be hit hard. ”

The Three Treasures of the Zhong Family: Books, Medicine, and Tea.

Books are number one.

Losing any book is a big loss.

What's more, the Zhong family has so many books?

Simple is now in the end, Yan Qiluo doesn't want to continue to go around the bend with Mrs. Zhong, and said straight to the point: "Old Madam Zhong, it was you who gave the simple medicine back then, so I have a few questions I want to ask the old lady." ”

Old Madam Zhong spread her right hand slightly and made a gesture of please.

Yan Qiluo took a deep breath and threw out all his questions like a cannon: "First question: Where is Myron now?" Is he your man? Second question: Does Myron know anything about simple pregnancies? The third question: Is the medicine you took back then the secret medicine of the Zhong family? Is there an antidote? Fourth question: What would have happened if there was no antidote? The fifth question: What is the result of violating the ancestral teachings of the Zhong family? ”

Old Madam Zhong had long expected that Yan Qiluo would ask these questions, and her old god looked at Yan Qiluo and said, "Actually, the answers to these questions are very simple. Any member of the Zhong family will know these clearly. However, it is okay for me to answer these questions first. ”

Yan Qiluo looked at Old Madam Zhong with firm eyes and did not speak.

"First question. Yes, Myron is my person. From the very beginning. The Chung family has always been a philanthropist, and adopting orphans has always been a tradition. Simple and Myron, in fact, are my adopted children, Myron is studying outside, and Simple has been serving by my side. Therefore, all of Myron's actions are actually my instructions. ”

"The second question, of course, Myron knows about simple pregnancy. Otherwise, how could he, who hadn't completed the task, have the face to come back to me? However, it is unexpected. ”

"The third question. The medicine he took back then was, of course, the secret medicine of the Zhong family. It's not my old lady who boasted about Haikou, today's medical experts who look at the world, who can crack this drug ingredient in three months, does not exist yet. However, the moment the child was killed, the medicinal properties had been completely triggered, and she had less than three months to go. The antidote is naturally there, and it is in the secret realm of the Zhong family. ”

"The fourth problem, there is no antidote...... Hehe, does this need to be said? Death, of course. ”

"As for the fifth question, I can't answer it. Because, so far, no one in the Zhong family has ever violated the ancestral teachings of the Zhong family. The prosperity of the Zhong family for hundreds of years will come to an abrupt end in your generation, this is fate! If you have disobeyed the teachings of your ancestors...... I don't see the end. ”

Old Madam Zhong was also upright enough, and answered Yan Qiluo's five questions without any hesitation.

But Yan Qiluo's mood was even worse.

Three months, and there are only three months left for the simple time!

If he chooses to refuse to return, his adoptive mother may ......

Yan Qiluo's fingers curled up suddenly under the table, and the green tendons on the back of his hand loomed.

Why, why do you have to force yourself to make such a choice?

Why do you have to force yourself to make the most undesirable choice?

"For the sake of our grandparents, this is a temporary drug to slow down a simple decline. However, it can only be postponed for the time being. Old Madam Zhong slowly pushed a white porcelain medicine bottle to Yan Qiluo.

Yan Qiluo hesitated for a moment, and quickly accepted the medicine bottle.

"The real antidote is in the secret realm of the Zhong family. If you want to go to the secret realm of the Zhong family, you must pass through the ancestral shrine of the Zhong family. Only those who recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors are qualified to step into the secret realm of the Zhong family. Think it through yourself. Old Madam Zhong finished all her words in one go.

Yan Qiluo lowered her eyes, trying her best to hide her emotions.

After a long time, he gently asked, "The daughter of the Zhong family, do you have to marry the Gu family?" Why? ”

Old Madam Zhong was stunned, and actually sighed, and said a little melancholy: "Yes, why?" Who called the four elite brothers of the Gu family generation back then, and three boys gave their lives to protect the Zhong family? ”

Yan Qiluo raised her head in amazement and looked at Old Madam Zhong in confusion.

"Do you think that the Zhong family has preserved so many ancient books so smoothly, is it really the Zhong family's own strength? No, it's someone who sacrifices enough. The Zhong family owes the Gu family an explanation, and they also owe three lives. Old Madam Zhong shook her head lightly and said, "The daughter of the 1,111th generation of the Zhong family must marry the descendants of the Gu family. The daughter of the Zhong family must not disobey this ancestral precept. ”

Family...... Three lives?
