Chapter 240: Losing Your Life

Seeing this, Mrs. Yongchangbo turned around and gave a look to a maid beside her. The maid immediately came to her senses and took the initiative to talk to her sister.

The maid was not very beautiful, she had a pleasant-looking apple face, her cheeks were ruddy and full, and her eyes were crooked when she smiled, which was very pleasant.

After being led by the maid to say a few words, my sister was already willing to give her hand to the maid to lead.

"Sister, my mother wants to talk to my aunt, you follow this maid sister to take a look outside." Concubine Liao calmed down and said to her sister with a smile. "Go ahead."

After all, my sister is a child, and after coming to a somewhat unfamiliar environment at the beginning, I will be a little curious. In addition, Concubine Liao took the initiative to say it, so she was dragged out by the maid.

After seeing her sister happily go out with the maid, Concubine Liao apologized to Mrs. Yongchangbo a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I lost my temper, but I worked my sister-in-law to place my sister for me." Concubine Liao sighed softly. "It's just the current situation in the county king's mansion, and the princess and I are in suspense every day. My sister is only at this age, and she has suffered a lot in the past because of my negligence, and I really don't want this child to encounter anything bad again. ”

"You and the princess have worked hard." Yongchangbo occasionally mentioned some things to Mrs. Yongchangbo, so she had heard about the current situation of Concubine Liao, who was once favored by the king of Jinjun. "I still say the same thing, and I will bring my sister back to sit in the future. Although the Yongchang Earl's Mansion is not a great family in the imperial capital, the Liao clan is still there, and you still have your mother's family to rely on. ”

Concubine Liao knew that Mrs. Yongchangbo still had a lot of weight when she spoke in front of her eldest brother, and since Mrs. Yongchangbo opened this mouth, even if Xiao Jin wanted to do something to herself and her sister in the future, she would be a little more taboo.

Now Concubine Liao, who is like duckweed and has no support, is already very content in her heart after getting Mrs. Yongchangbo's words.

"I don't know what to say to my sister-in-law, and the words of thanks are not enough for my heart." Concubine Liao cried again. "With my sister-in-law's words, my sister and I finally have something to rely on."

"Alright, stop crying." Mrs. Yongchangbo said. "Let's stay at home for lunch today and then go back."

"Well, thank you, sister-in-law."

In the afternoon, after Concubine Liao took her sister to say goodbye to Mrs. Yongchangbo, Mrs. Yongchangbo personally sent their mother and daughter to the gate of the mansion, and only then turned around and went back to the house after seeing the two of them get into the carriage.

In the morning, the maid who led her sister out to play called seven or eight young maids in her early teens to play with her sister, and she had a great time and ate more at noon.

On the return carriage, the sister leaned on Concubine Liao's arms and fell asleep, muttering something in her mouth.

She asked Concubine Liao when she would be able to play in her uncle and aunt's house again, and she heard her aunt mention that there were several of her cousins and cousins in the house, and her sister was at the age of playfulness, and she liked to play with children older than her the most.

It's a pity that my cousins and cousins are all studying outside the house today, and I haven't seen any of them.

"Sister is obedient." Concubine Liao smiled and gently patted her sister to sleep, and whispered to her sister. "Mother told your aunt that when your cousins and cousins take a break next time, I'll take you over, okay?"

The sister's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and after listening to Concubine Liao's words, the corners of her lips raised slightly to reveal a sweet smile, and after receiving Concubine Liao's affirmative answer, she fell asleep in the shaking carriage.

In the evening, as soon as Yongchangbo returned home, he knew that Concubine Liao had come with her daughter today, and he had just changed out of his official uniform and put on the regular clothes at home.

Just as he was about to return to the main hall to ask his wife about this, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw the children who had returned home from class and were excitedly questioning Mrs. Yongchangbo.

Mrs. Yongchangbo was the youngest girl when she was in her mother's house, and the youngest of the brothers above were all seven years older than her, and the brothers and sisters that the children could contact in the ancestral mansion were several years older than them.

Today when they came back from class, they listened to the maid beside Mrs. Yongchangbo say that during the day, their aunt came to the house with her daughter, and knew that the aunt had such a lovely little cousin under her knees, and the children were quite strange, so when Yongchangbo came back to the family for dinner, they surrounded Mrs. Yongchangbo, and you asked one by one.

The sister in Yongchangbo's mouth is young and cute, and the children are even happier when they hear it, it seems that the little cousin is a very cute child.

The older ones were fine, but the younger ones directly pestered Mrs. Yongchang and asked her to invite her aunt and little cousin to come to the Yongchang Earl's Mansion when they were on their next vacation.

Just when Mrs. Yongchangbo was pestered by the children, Yongchangbo, who had been standing outside the hall door and listening silently for a long time, raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed lightly. There was silence in the room, and the children turned their heads.

"Let's set the table." Yongchangbo walked into the hall. "Don't pester your mother, sit down and eat well."

When educating children, Yongchangbo and Mrs. Yongchangbo are white-faced, and the other is red-faced, usually Mrs. Yongchangbo treats the children more harshly, Yongchangbo is always kind when he talks to the children, but as long as he puts on a straight face, the children will immediately become honest.

After the children finished eating, before they could continue to say something, Yongchangbo put down the chopsticks in his hands and asked them to go back to their respective rooms to review today's homework, and when he took a break the next time, he would have to take a good test of their homework.

As soon as they heard this, the children, who were about to ask something, immediately scattered and ran away.

"Finished eating?" Mrs. Yongchangbo knew that her husband must have already known that Concubine Liao had brought her sister over today, so she asked him with a smile. "I cooked today's soup myself, would you like to drink a bowl?"

Yongchangbo drove away the children, and he was ready to ask his wife. As a result, Mrs. Yongchangbo laughed like this, and the draft in his stomach suddenly dispersed, so he had to nod at Mrs. Yongchangbo, indicating that he really needed a bowl of soup before he had eaten well.

When Yongchangbo finished drinking the soup, Mrs. Yongchangbo took the initiative to open her mouth.

"I know what you're asking?" Mrs. Yongchangbo personally took the empty bowl in Yongchangbo's hand and put it on the side, and said. "Concubine Liao came over with her sister today, I know that if you ask her to come, she will not see it. But she came back with her sister for the first time today, so how could I keep them from coming in. ”

"She just ate too much behind closed doors, and deliberately brought her sister here."

"I knew that the death of her mother and mother-in-law must be implicated, but now her mother and father-in-law avoided the imperial capital and swore that they would never come back with the widow of her second brother. I know you have grievances in your heart, but we all know about my father-in-law starting to feed her mother. Mrs. Yongchangbo said softly to her husband. Her situation as a woman is not very good, she and her sister were almost killed by King Jinjun before, and their mother and daughter are really pitiful. When you found out about this, didn't you also come forward and beat King Jinjun once? ”

"If King Jinjun really kills her, he is destroying the face of our Yongchang Earl's Mansion, and I didn't beat him for her." Yongchangbo explained.

"Her mother won't live long, she can't go out of the imperial capital at will as a concubine of the county king, and she won't even be able to see her mother for the last time in the future. My father-in-law swore that he would never return to the imperial capital, her brother had died a long time ago, and the only relatives she had left now were us. Mrs. Yongchangbo said tactfully. I'm not asking you to repay your grievances with virtue, but when it comes to her mother's mistakes, her mother is about to lose her life, do we still hate her? ”

Before leaving the imperial capital, the old Yongchangbo saw Yongchangbo for the last time.

He said that he had given his wife the first poison pill, and that he would feed her one every month after that, and that the poison of the poison pill would slowly accumulate in her body, making her sick and uncomfortable, gradually depleting her vitality in the long agony of illness, and finally making her pay for the mistakes she had made.

He said that she had made a mistake and could not say that she was not responsible for it. From now on, he will take Liao Yongnian's widow to live peacefully in his hometown, and he will not enter the imperial capital again in this life, regardless of life or death.

Yongchangbo looked at the gray-haired old Yongchangbo in front of him overnight, and was speechless for a while.

He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Old Yongchangbo led his little grandson to board the carriage, and before entering the carriage, he glanced back at his eldest son, did not say anything, just waved at him, and entered the carriage.

Yongchangbo stood in place, watching the convoy gradually move away from his sight. He closed his eyes, and he couldn't help but see the original beginning, when there were only three of them in the Yongchang Earl's Mansion. The mother watched from under the tree as the father and son laughed and laughed softly.

But when he opened his eyes again, there was nothing in front of him.

"From now on, do as you wish." Yongchangbo thought of the letter he had recently received from his hometown, and the woman was already terminally ill and had little time left. "She is from the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion in the end, it's not easy for people to despise her, thinking that she really has no one at home."

"Okay, it just so happens that the children want to meet her and her sister too." Mrs. Yongchangbo knew that her husband's heart was knotted, and she also let go of a matter in her heart. "Next time, I'll invite her and my sister over when I'm waiting for the children to take a break."
