Yan Songnian didn't look like he was awake, sitting lazily on the chair, Caifeng didn't come out with him to meet people, and he was still in the house.

He yawned and asked Yan Qingge and Yan Shuyu, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Yan Shuyu lowered her eyes slightly, and when she raised it again, there were already two bubbles of tears in her eyes, hanging on the side of her eyes, looking very pitiful. Yan Qingge couldn't help but admire her kung fu of crying when she said she cried, when she wanted to cry to show others, she had to use a ginger handkerchief, but Yan Shuyu didn't use anything, and she burst into tears.

Yan Songnian saw that Yan Shuyu wanted to cry first, his tone immediately softened a little, his body sat straighter, and he slowed down his voice: "If you have something to say, you really have grievances, and your father will call the shots for you." ”

Yan Shuyu slowly slid tears down her cheeks, and said, "Daddy, it's better to see than to hear, it's better for Daddy to go to Mingxinzhai and see what those maids are harboring." ”

Yan Songnian sighed: "What are those maids hiding?" ”

"They...... Where they live, there are a lot of abortion pills and child-avoiding pills. My mother and I were frightened when we first found out, and called them to ask what was going on, but they actually ran away, so it can be seen that there must be a ghost in our hearts. I don't know what they said to my father and sister, who wouldn't hand over these sinners. Yan Shuyu said with tears on her face, sobbing and choking.

Yan Shuyu's attitude is better than Aunt Fang Caihai's performance in Qingxingyuan, I don't know how many times.

Just when Yan Qingge was comparing Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu in his heart, Aunt Hai's sharp and contrived voice sounded at the door: "Master, please save the concubine, the concubine has been tied up by the eldest lady." ”

As soon as Yan Qingge turned around and saw Aunt Hai coming in, Yan Qingge smiled contemptuously and said, "Aunt Hai, you said that I tied you up, what evidence do you have?" ”

When Yan Qingge asked someone to tie up Aunt Hai just now, he specially instructed her not to hurt her, and under the hemp rope that tied her wrist, a handkerchief was specially stuffed, which was soft, not to mention the scars, not even the slightest red mark.

Aunt Hai's stomach was full of preparations, she bit half of her cheeks and glanced at Yan Qingge fiercely: "What evidence can I have?" The wolf-like mothers-in-law in the eldest lady's yard don't all listen to the eldest lady's words alone, and they all tell the eldest lady with one mouth. ”

Yan Qingge smiled slightly: "Aunt Hai, you actually know this truth, you have really grown!" ”

Here, Yan Shuyu heard Yan Qingge's words, and knew that things were going to be bad, and said: "Auntie, I know that you and your sister are not very harmonious, but you can't just say that your sister kidnapped you, after all, there is no evidence." She bit the word evidence very hard.

Before Aunt Hai could react, she felt strange in her heart, but she and Yan Shuyu were in the same faction, and she knew that Yan Shuyu had many ideas since she was a child, so she didn't talk anymore and swallowed this breath vigorously. I'll leave that for later.

Yan Qingge said: "Sister, aunt, speaking of this evidence, abortion pills and child avoidance pills are not cheap, these maids have so little money a month, where do they get the money to buy medicine." ”

Aunt Hai snorted coldly: "Among the maids who betrayed the master, there was one who ran away to the Zhuyu Courtyard. Miss, you are still young and don't know the dirty things in the house, and whoever in this family doesn't want me to have a son will naturally want to deal with me. ”

Yan Qingge said lightly: "But when you were in Qingxing Yuan, you kept saying that you had no children for many years before, because these maids gave you child avoidance medicine. At that time, Aunt Chu hadn't been with her father yet, so what reason did she have to hurt you. ”

Aunt Hai was angry for a while, and she couldn't say why.

Yan Songnian's expression has been changing color with the-for-tat debate between the two, and for a while he felt that what Yan Qingge said was reasonable, and for a while he felt that what Aunt Hai said was right.

Seeing that Aunt Hai had nothing to say, Yan Songnian just wanted to sentence Yan Qingge to be reasonable, but Yan Shuyu next to her suddenly spoke: "Sister, many of the maids in our yard served our mother and daughter after returning to the capital, and it is really hard to say who they were before." Maybe it's the people around my father before, and I don't want to see the Yan family have a future. ”

Yan Qingge's eyes were sharp, and he stared at Yan Shuyu with a sneer: "What do you want to say?" Yan Shuyu's insinuation is too obvious, no matter who it is, she will think about the deceased Le's.

Yan Songnian couldn't understand the wit hidden in their words, but he felt strange in his heart, and he couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he coughed and said, "If you have something to say, who is going to harm the Yan family." ”

Yan Qingge stared at Yan Songnian and said coldly, "Father really doesn't know what my sister is talking about?" Since you like to talk about old things, let me talk about it. Before my mother passed away, my father had four aunts, two of whom were carried by my mother before she got married, and Aunt Hai and Aunt Zhou were the concubines who came in later. I want to ask my father, why when my mother was alive, these aunts were all alive and well, after my mother passed away, except for Aunt Hai, in just half a year, the remaining aunts were gone one after another? ”

Back then, these aunts were indeed all under Aunt Hai's hands, causing them to be driven away and killed by those who were killed, especially Aunt Zhou, who was manipulated by Aunt Hai when she gave birth, and gave birth smoothly, so that the male fetus in her belly was killed by one corpse and two lives.

At first glance, when he heard Yan Qingge talk about the old things, Yan Songnian couldn't help but think of the boy who had no father-son relationship, but he had named this child Yan Musheng at the beginning.

Aunt Hai had a ghost in her heart, and her face was ugly and tight. However, Yan Shuyu had never participated in the intrigue back then, although she understood that Aunt Hai's hands and feet were not clean, she was still confident, and said, "Sister, didn't you misunderstand?" I remember my father had two aunts who were kicked out of the house for stealing. They were born as slaves in the Yan Mansion, who knows if they left any relatives and friends in the mansion and were indignant for them. ”

Yan Shuyu's kung fu of seeing the wind and steering the rudder was really profound, Yan Qingge stared at her and said, "Oh? If they really had so many connections in this mansion, how could they be so easily discovered by Aunt Hai that they were stealing? ”

"Paper can't hold the fire, sister. They have done it so many times, and they will always show clues, and if they are not discovered by my mother, they will also be discovered by others. ”

When these old things happened, Yan Qingge and Yan Shuyu were still very young, especially Yan Shuyu, who was still nursing in infancy and didn't remember anything at all. If you really know what happened back then, apart from Yan Songnian, there is only Aunt Hai, but it is Yan Qingge and Yan Shuyu who are arguing about it on both sides now.

Yan Songnian remembered the old things, and his brain hurt for a while, when he was attacked by the anger instigated by Aunt Hai, he betrayed the two aunts, and now that he thinks about it, there is really something wrong.

The more he listened, the more upset he became, at this time, Caifeng came out of the inner room, she looked at Aunt Hai timidly, walked behind Yan Songnian, and said: "Master, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is not easy to make a tongue, so let's leave this matter on another day." ”

These words were in line with Yan Songnian's meaning, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you all disperse." ”

Yan Shuyu raised her eyes to look at Caifeng, and suddenly said, "I am the one who disturbed my father's interest." I didn't come here today for last night, but for my sister. I'm here today to give Aunt Caifeng a deed. ”

As she spoke, she took out a thin piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Yan Songnian.

Just these two sentences, it was like Yan Qingge was causing trouble, and she became innocent.

Yan Qingge sneered in his heart and said, "Father, today is the New Year, I will help Aunt Caifeng ask for a favor." I remember Caifeng's father and brother also worked on Zhuangzi, she became an aunt, and my brother's father and mother were still domestic slaves, and it would be useless to say that it would be beneficial to our Yan family's reputation, so it was better to let them go as slaves and ask them to take care of the family's shop. ”

Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu's faces changed abruptly, what they originally wanted was to hold Caifeng's family and coerce Caifeng to help them, but now Yan Qingge's words really ruined their original plans.

Caifeng looked at Yan Qingge gratefully, Yan Songnian tasted Caifeng for the first time last night, and he liked her in his heart, thinking that this was not a big deal, he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Yan Qingge looked at Yan Shuyu and Aunt Hai's pale faces, her heart was happy, she saluted Yan Songnian, turned around and left.

Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu came today, but they lost their wives and soldiers, and they also put Caifeng, a chess piece, into it.

After returning to Qingxingyuan, Yan Qingge called Mama Xiang and Mama Zhu, invited them to sit down, and asked, "Mama Xiang, Mama Zhu, you have served my mother since she got married, you can tell me about her." ”

If it weren't for Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu who were afraid of making a big deal today, the dirty water would have been splashed on Le's head. She doesn't know much about Le's, if she can know more about Le's, she won't be so passive in the future.

Mama Xiang was the first to speak, and said, "Since the young lady must ask, the mother-in-law will ask for a few words." After Madame died, several personal maids around her followed the martyrdom, I said it, I don't know if it's right or not, Miss just listen to it, don't take it too seriously. ”

Yan Qingge nodded and said, "I know this." ”

"The older the young lady grows, the more similar she looks like the lady, so the appearance of the lady is not necessary to talk about the mother-in-law. Madame's character is naturally excellent, Madame loves to be quiet, she can't stand a little dirty, she can't smell dirty......"

Yan Qingge nodded, this is the same as his cousin Le Xuan, it seems that Lejia likes to be quiet and tidy, and he doesn't like strange smells, which is passed down in the same vein.

"Madame is magnanimous, and often rewards several aunts, and the aunts are grateful, and they will come to sit with Madame every day, sometimes spend time and play together, and the day will pass."

"What about Father?"

"The lord doesn't come often, the lord was studying in Taixue at that time, and he only came back once in ten days. It was not until Mrs. Tai's death that it was considered a completion. ”

"Are there any guests who come to visit Mother? Or is she out visiting some friend? ”

"Since Mrs. got married, she has never gone out to Yan's house once, and no one has come to see Mrs. Those of us who serve also find it strange. ”

Yan Qingge was stunned, she didn't expect Le's to live such a life in the Yan family. Grandfather Le Hou has been an official in Beijing back then, and before his mother Le Rou got married, he had been an official to worship the prime minister, and he was a member of the first grade, and later resigned and returned to his hometown.

Le Rou can be said to have grown up in Beijing all the time, and she has studied at Bailu Academy, as far as she knows, many noblewomen know Le Rou. However, why did Le Rou break off contact with everyone she knew after marriage?

However, no matter how Yan Qingge knocked on the side, in the mouths of Mama Xiang and Mama Zhu, she couldn't ask anything anymore. I don't know if they really don't know, or if they don't want to say.
