Ruan Jingyou came back from her confusion at this time, she grabbed Zi Yan's shoulders and asked in an extremely incredible tone, "What did you say?" Madam? The lady you refer to can't be my mother, right? ”

Zi Yan was grabbed by her shoulder, frowned and nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, Miss, you are so faint, you won't forget that today is the seventh day of Madame, right?" The slave knew that the young lady was reluctant to let her wife go, so she would be so sad that she fainted when she burned her first seven days. Before her death, the lady told the slave maid that she must take good care of the young lady, and if the young lady has any three long and two short, the slave and maid will definitely not survive. ”

From Zi Yan's words, Ruan Jingyou felt that she had probably realized a terrible and bizarre fact, she seemed, seemed, probably, reborn back to the year ago in her memory.

Zi Yan was obviously frightened by the startled appearance of her young lady, according to the old custom, if someone in the family died, if the relatives were too sad, it would cause the deceased to be unbearable to leave, which would not only be bad for the deceased, but also the living.

It was not unfounded for Zi Yan to think so, the words that Miss said when she woke up from a coma just now really scared her.

What Nai River Bridge, Meng Po Tang, Huangquan Road...... If you hadn't experienced it personally, how could you wake up and talk nonsense.

So Zi Yan couldn't help but think in her heart, the young lady suddenly fainted in front of the grave, maybe she was really hooked off by the deceased lady.

Ruan Jingyou didn't take Zi Yan's careful thinking in her eyes, she digested the surprise brought to her by rebirth, and sighed that God didn't be kind, and directly let her go back to earlier, so that her mother would not die, and she would not become a lonely little orphan girl.

"Zi Yan, if I'm not mistaken, today is May 19 in the twenty-third year of Dezhen, right?"

Tangled and entangled, Ruan Jingyou didn't forget the serious thing, if God really gave her a chance to do it again, she would never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again.

Zi Yan was debating whether to invite a Lang Zhong to come back to help Miss take a look at the condition, and at this time, when she heard Miss ask such a sentence seriously, she quickly nodded and responded, and then said: "Miss, you suddenly asked what day it is, do you have any other plans?" Miss Bu said that when Madame was there, if something happened in the house, she could still take care of it, but since Madame passed away, the hearts of the people in our house have obviously been a lot looser, if it weren't for Mama Zhao......"

As soon as she was halfway through her words, Ruan Jingyou made a silent gesture to Zi Yan, signaling her not to speak yet.

Zi Yan showed an unknown expression, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and the person who knocked on the door was a woman in her fifties, who was the Zhao Mama in Zi Yan's mouth.

Thirteen years ago, her father sent her mother to this courtyard west of the capital on the grounds that she was unwell and needed to be sent outside to recuperate.

said that it was another courtyard, but it was just a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and the population in the courtyard was not large, in addition to her, her mother and Zi Yan, Mama Zhao was also one of them.

This Mama Zhao is one of the dowry maids brought into her husband's house by Ruan Jingyou's mother, when her mother was sick for a long time in front of the bed, her health was good and bad, and after being sent to the other courtyard, Mama Zhao was also sent down by her father, and became the chief steward in this courtyard in a grand manner.

Because her mother trusted Mama Zhao very much when she was alive, all the expenses and income in the house were managed by Mama Zhao alone, and over time, Mama Zhao became an authoritative figure in this courtyard.

In this regard, Zi Yan complained in front of her more than once, saying that Mama Zhao did not use all the silver sent by the Ruan Mansion every month to the other courtyard, and she suspected that Mama Zhao was full of money and greedy for the silver on the books.

It's a pity that Mrs. is weak and neglects to take care of things on weekdays, Ruan Jingyou is young and ignorant, and most of the other maids and maids are speechless, so they can only watch Mama Zhao run rampant in this courtyard, and she is alone.

The moment the door was opened, Ruan Jingyou and Zi Yan were silent at the same time.

I saw Mama Zhao stepping into the door with a smile on her face, and her tone revealed a little care and worry for Ruan Jingyou: "Ouch, my little ancestor, you finally woke up, when you just passed out, it scared our big guys a lot, this good wonderful person said that he fainted, I thought you were suffering from some serious illness." Fortunately, Mrs. has a spirit in heaven and knows how to protect her daughter, if you have something that is long and short, Mrs. will be uneasy, and we who are slaves will not be able to survive. ”

As soon as she entered the door, Mama Zhao poured beans into a bamboo tube and said it regardless of it.

After speaking, he sat down on the side of Ruan Jingyou's bed with a concerned face, touched her head, pinched her hand, and said with a choked voice: "Madame's go, it can be regarded as leaving us orphans and children behind, and I want to serve by Madame's side when I am a child, for decades, and now that Madame is gone, my heart is really more painful than a needle prick." Miss, there are only a few of us left in this house in the future, although you are still young now, but you are also a serious year, you can be called the real master of this courtyard, Madame is gone, I don't know what Miss is going to do next? ”

Ruan Jing withdrew her hand from Mama Zhao's hand without a trace, and handed a silk handkerchief to Mama Zhao, who had tears in the corners of her eyes, to wipe her tears, and replied: "What else can I plan, my mother is in a hurry, and she can't leave a sentence after half a sentence." I cried and fainted in front of my mother's grave, and I was also overly sad and sad! The most indignant thing in my heart is my unscrupulous father, he and my mother are married couples, and now my mother died suddenly, as a husband, not only did he not come forward to mourn, even the family in the house did not send a man to come to condole, such a cold and unsympathetic father, I am really disrespectful as a daughter. ”

Ruan Jingyou sneered: "What do you think about Ruan's mansion is their business, my father, I don't want to recognize it anymore in this life, as for the cost of food and clothing on weekdays, please worry more about Mama Zhao, I'm just a child who has just passed the age of Xuan, and I don't care about the trivial matters at home." ”

As soon as she heard this, Mama Zhao's face suddenly smiled like a flower, and she patted Xiōng and reassured: "Miss rest assured, I have been serving by Madame's side for so many years, and now that she is gone, my loyalty to Madame is visible from the sun and the moon. ”

Zi Yan, who had been silent, couldn't help but laugh: "Mama Zhao's words are really wonderful, although Miss doesn't want to take care of the family's affairs, but in the end, Miss is the serious master of this courtyard, if you really take over with full authority, don't empty the status of our young lady in the future." ”

When Mama Zhao heard this, her face changed slightly, and she was about to say a few words to refute it, when she saw Ruan Jingyou glaring at Zi Yan lightly and reprimanded: "Zi Yan, how can you speak to Mama Zhao with such an attitude?" She is the chief steward of our family, and she has been worrying about the family day and night all these years, even if she has no merit, she has hard work. ”

After speaking, he pulled Zi Yan's sleeve and warned sharply: "Hurry up and make amends to Mama Zhao, otherwise you can be careful of your skin." ”

Zi Yan was a little aggrieved by the young lady's lesson, and wanted to speak out to defend herself, but saw that the young lady's attitude was very persistent, and finally she could only reluctantly say sorry to Mama Zhao.

Ruan Jingyou did this, invisibly giving Mama Zhao enough face.

Mama Zhao's heart was suddenly wiped out by Zi Yan's anger, and she symbolically said that she didn't blame Zi Yan for being rude, everyone has been under the same roof all these years, how can there be a tongue that doesn't touch her teeth, and she eats more salt than Zi Yan eats rice, so naturally she won't care about it like a little girl.

Mama Zhao gossiped a lot, and finally got to the point: "Miss, there is something I don't know if I should say or not." ”

Ruan Jingyou is a person who has lived two lives, although she was not very old when she died in her previous life, but she has experienced the ups and downs of the world, and her heart and eyes are naturally not as simple as before.

The only person in the world who doesn't have a bad heart towards her is Zi Yan, and in addition to this, she will not easily trust anyone, including this Mama Zhao.

An indifferent smile pulled out of her lips, and she said softly: "If Mama Zhao has something to say, I will listen to it." ”

Mama Zhao saw that she was defenseless, so she pretended to be cautious, and said in a low voice: "That's the case, a few days ago I heard that this part of the western suburbs is not very peaceful, and there are often bandits haunting. Our yard is not big, but it is not small, and when Mrs. came here, she also brought some valuable things with her. I thought that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it would be better to find a safe place to hide the things that Mrs. left for the young lady, so that even if there is any accident in the future, we can take precautions in advance and prevent the bad guys from taking away the valuable things at home. ”

Ruan Jingyou sneered in her heart as she listened.

She was only suspicious of Mama Zhao's character before, but now the other party thinks that she is young and brainless, but she really has the courage to bully her head to spread wildness.

Her words, on the surface, were for the sake of her as a young lady, but in fact, they were full of layers of mysteries and traps.

Her mother was kicked out of the Ruan Mansion by her father, and the valuable things she wore were nothing more than one or two pieces of bead hairpin jewelry, and in addition, there was only the mutton fat jade of the Medicine Master Bodhisattva.

It was this piece of mutton fat jade, and it was also the night before her official meeting that her mother mysteriously handed it into her hands, and said such a thing in her ear. Before that, she had no idea that her mother had such a gadget hidden in her hand.

It is conceivable that her mother can hide so deeply from her, and naturally she will be tight-lipped to others and never reveal half a sentence, Mama Zhao suddenly pulled the topic to the so-called valuables, nothing more than to probe a trace of wind from her mouth.

In her previous life, she didn't realize the importance of this piece of jade, but after really going through life and death, she deeply realized that there seemed to be some ulterior secrets behind this piece of jade.

Otherwise, Yan Tinghao, the famous Prince Jing of the Great Yan Kingdom, would not have taken great pains to get such a thing from her, and even condescended to marry her, a woman who was completely unpopular with him, and made her a concubine.

Mama Zhao suddenly brought up such a topic at this time, and it was obvious that the other party should have come prepared.

If she guessed correctly, in her previous life, the reason why her father, who had never seen her seriously since she was a child, took her back to Ruan's Mansion was also related to this magical mutton fat jade.

Mama Zhao is a shrewd person in the end, she knows how to defend herself, and in a few words, she will make her position clear.

Ruan Jingyou didn't say anything, and she had already raised twelve points of defense against Mama Zhao in her heart.

In order to avoid startling the snake, she naturally won't criticize the other party too much, since the other party is under the guise of thinking about herself wholeheartedly, she also has to lower her posture and accept the other party's kindness.

Mama Zhao saw that she didn't mean to blame, so she turned around and left with peace of mind.

As soon as Mama Zhao went out on the front foot, Zi Yan, who was holding back the evil fire in her belly, opened her mouth and scolded: "This old woman really treats herself as a loyal dog, and she has been greedy for how much money in the yard over the years, and now that Madame has thrown her hands away, she actually refuses to let go of this little private money on the young lady, this is really riding on top of other people's heads to spread wild." I said, miss, don't you plan to let her continue to be a powerful man in this courtyard? ”

Ruan Jingyou returned an inexplicable smile to the other party, took the opportunity to pull Zi Yan's arm, and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Zi Yan's face changed greatly: "Miss, you ...... You mean ...... tonight?"

"Shh

Ruan Jingyou covered the other party's mouth and warned angrily: "Do you want the entire courtyard to know about my plan?" ”

"But ......"

Zi Yan's expression was still shocked, and she looked at Ruan Jingyou like a monster: "Miss, why are we doing this?" Even if this courtyard is remote and has become a little dilapidated because of disrepair, but we have lived in this courtyard for more than ten years, and you suddenly said that you want to leave here and find another place, this is ...... The slave is really a little unacceptable. ”

Zi Yan never thought that her young lady would run away with her overnight.

Ruan Jingyou certainly understood Zi Yan's panic and worry, their master and servant had been kept in captivity in this courtyard since they were children, and although they had a hard life, they didn't have to show up to go out to make a living.

Now she suddenly proposed to run away with Zi Yan, which was also a choice of last resort, if she remembered correctly, in her previous life, late at night when her mother burned her head seven, a group of thieves broke into the courtyard and tried to make money and kill her.

And the reason why she escaped in her previous life was that her unscrupulous father suddenly appeared with people at a critical moment to save her.

So far, there is one thing that has always made her feel very strange, her mother did not see her father when she died, why did her father appear when she was in danger?
