In the next two days, there were more small plates of pickles in the food delivered, and Cuizhu asked from the mouth of the kitchen that it was Aunt Liu who asked the masters of the kitchen if they liked to eat, and specially made it.

Cuizhu said: "I heard that the third lady is very happy, she can't eat anything, she loves this bite very much, and the people of Xiyuan also go to the kitchen to ask for it, you say it's interesting or not, and the third lady and the two aunts can't get along on weekdays." ”

They didn't care about the noisy things, they just silently thought in their hearts when they could talk to the two aunts.

But on this day, the second master of Dongyuan announced a major event, driving the second son Zhu Pingrui out of the house, and he will never communicate again in this life.

said that it was thrown out, but in fact, Zhu Chengye himself was abandoned by his son first, and because the people of Guanglu Temple could confirm that Zhu Pingrui resigned first, he was premeditated and prepared to leave, and it cannot be judged as a missing abduction, even if Zhu Chengye wants to save face in the end, it will not be possible to report his son's disappearance.

After looking for three or four days, Zhu Pingrui may have walked far, far away, as if he had disappeared from everyone's eyes, and there was no clue.

Zhu Chengye couldn't bear it, he had already lost a son, and he didn't want to be ridiculed again, so he made his own decisions without asking the old lady and the eldest master, and announced that he would cut off contact with his second son from now on, and he would never be allowed to step into the house again.

Therefore, the matter will involve the inheritance of the family wealth after a hundred years, and it needs to be reported to the official to go to court, and he invited several colleagues to testify, and after signing the document, there is no place for the father and son to turn around.

When the second lady heard this, she fainted without taking a breath, which frightened the young lady and Aunt Mei at a loss.

At that time, Yunzhi had already run back to the inner courtyard, begging the old lady to persuade her father to take back her life, and the old lady was about to send someone to find the concubine back, when news came from Dongyuan that the second lady was not good.

Ask the imperial doctor to find a doctor, there was a lot of trouble in the East Garden, and finally Jiang picked up a life, and after Zhu Chengye arrived home, he went straight to the ancestral hall to pay tribute to the ancestors and ancestors, knelt in front of the old lady and said that he didn't want this son.

"You didn't consult me beforehand, and I don't have to say anything more at this moment." The old lady said to the second master who was kneeling at her feet, "But you and I have a mother and son after all, I hope you can listen to my words and force away a son, don't toss Pingluo and Yunzhi anymore." Whose fault is it that a child like Ruier is taught like this. ”

Zhu Chengye was also aggrieved in every way, choked up: "Since I was a child, I tried my best to raise my two sons, and I asked myself to be worthy of either one, but I only started a fire when the evil obstacle was about to enter Guanglu Temple on an errand, but in the end I still compromised and let him go." Mother, tell your son, what did I do wrong to make him disobedient to such an extent, even if his son treated him badly and was not worthy of being a father, what about your old grandmother, his mother and his brothers and sisters, are they all sorry for him, and should be abandoned by him? ”

Mama Rui persuaded on the side: "Second master, calm down, don't hurt your body, sweat on this head." ”

Zhu Chengye staggered to his feet: "My son must be strong all his life, just to glorify his ancestors, what he did in the past, what he will still do in the future, I am worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of my ancestors." I also hope that my mother Wan'an can let my son serve and honor you under her knees for a lifetime. ”

He bowed deeply to the old lady and left without looking back.

The old lady held Mama Rui's hand and looked back at the tablets of the ancestors and her husband: "This family, in the end, there is a crack, it's fast, it's fast......"

In the Qingqiu Pavilion, the atmosphere is heavy, the rhyme is there on weekdays, and she is noisy, since she doesn't come to the study, every day is so quiet that people can't lift their spirits.

Fu Yi put down the book, saw that the sisters were listless, and said: "I want to say to the old lady, the study class has been temporarily suspended, one is that you can't concentrate, and then I also want to go to the East Garden to accompany your second sister, are you willing?" First of all, it is limited to five days, and Pingjue's class in the morning will remain the same, and you will come with the second sister after five days. ”

Huizhi said: "I don't want to listen to my mother gloating about Dongyuan's jokes every day, or saying that the eldest aunt is not, Sister Yan just goes to accompany the second sister, and I come to Qingqiu Pavilion to read the book myself." ”

Yingzhi and Minzhi agreed with their sister's words, Yingzhi said: "Although the study is a little stuffy now, it is better than staying in the boudoir, Sister Yan, I will take Min'er and Hui'er to write and study, you go to accompany the second sister, we will wait for you to come back." ”

Fu Yi agreed: "Then it is decided, I will tell the old lady." ”

I saw Cuizhu coming in from outside the door and said to Fuyi: "The second lady has been rescued, but the second lady can't leave, the slave and maid can't speak, and now Dongyuan is in chaos, and the slave and maid don't dare to go over." ”

Fu Yi said: "It's okay, tomorrow morning, I will go over by myself, and you and Citron will serve the ladies here to write Wenshu." ”

It was day and night, Fu Yi came to the inner courtyard to tell the old lady about it, but saw that Mama Rui and the maids were standing under the eaves, and Mama looked at the door with an anxious face.

"Mama?" Fuyi stepped forward to help her.

"Is there anything important for the girl, I don't know if I should let you in at this time." Mama Rui said, "The old lady asked the third son, and the third son knelt for half an hour, and the grandfather and grandson were deadlocked. ”

Fu Yi asked, "Cousin came back so early today?" ”

Mama shook her head and said, "The old lady sent someone to call her back, and she wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the second son." ”

But Fuyi understands, Zhu Rong really doesn't know the whereabouts of the second son, is the old lady not believing it, or is he deliberately acting as if he knows, so that the old lady can feel more at ease?

"Girl, wait a minute, I'll pass the word." Mama Rui said, "Maybe you are here, talk, both grandparents and grandchildren can get off the stage." ”

Fuyi waited quietly outside the door, and after a while, Mama really came to take her in.

Seeing Zhu Rong kneeling there upright, he was naturally distressed, but he didn't dare to take a second look, so he went straight to his aunt and grandmother to say goodbye.

After listening to her words, the old lady agreed: "Yun'er and Chu Xue are tired, it's okay for you to go and help, even if you accompany and talk." But remember, you are only with Yunzhi, don't talk to people from Dongyuan, although that Aunt Mei is not bad, but she also loves to do things, you can be polite. ”

"Yes." Fuyi wrote them down one by one, but after saying this, she had nothing to say, and she didn't dare to ask more about what happened to her grandparents and grandchildren, thinking that she wouldn't make any more trouble for them, so she said goodbye and left.

After turning around, she glanced at Zhu Rong, and before she could retract her gaze, the old lady suddenly asked: "Yi'er, do you know that Pingrui is running away from home?" ”

Fu Yi was nervous, couldn't hold the expression on his face, and met the old lady's eyes, so nervous that he couldn't speak.

"How would she know." Zhu Rong said impatiently, "What are you doing involving her?" ”

"Shut up!" The old lady scolded angrily, "Did I ask you?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "I've been kneeling for a long time, grandma, you just knelt me to death, and I don't know the whereabouts of my second brother." ”

The old lady pointed at him and said, "You have it written on your face, and you still want to hide it from me, do I want to arrest your second brother back, you can't let me settle down, so I don't care about his safety?" ”

Zhu Rong asked Fu Yi: "Is it written on my face?" ”

Fu Yi was dumbfounded, and the usual wits were gone, and he replied stupidly: "I didn't write it." ”

Zhu Rong laughed, and even the old lady couldn't help laughing, but she was annoyed that her grandson was disobedient, and scolded: "You two little things, do you want to be angry with me?" ”

Fu Yi followed and knelt down: "Auntie, I really don't know. ”

Zhu Rong saw her kneeling down and asked her grandmother distressedly: "Why bother tossing her again?" ”

The two little enemies knelt in front of them, their temperament and appearance were so right, as if they could see the future of their marriage and worship in the church, the old lady was happy in her heart, and sad that she couldn't handle the marriage for Pingrui, and sighed for a long time: "Stand down, let me be quiet." ”

Zhu Rong got up and supported his grandmother on the ground, and the help was still a little restrained, but in the end, it was from it.

"Let's go first." Zhu Rong said to his grandmother, "You really don't have to worry about the second brother, he can live well wherever he goes, and he is better than at home." ”

"Get out, don't come to me these days, it's annoying to look at you." The old lady was disgusted, "I can't control you anymore, I look forward to the future, someone can control you." ”

Naturally, she said this to Fu Yi, and she lowered her head suddenly.

After following Zhu Rong out, she said some thoughtful words along the way, and Zhu Rong asked her to go to Dongyuan not to be tired, let alone get involved in the rights and wrongs of the second uncle's family.

Fu Yi asked, "Will the eldest master be angry with you?" ”

Zhu Rong shook his head and said, "He doesn't care about the second brother, but I think my father should realize that I also began to rebel against him." Fortunately, compared to the second uncle, my father is more open-minded and willing to listen to me, and he can discuss anything, so you don't have to worry about me. ”

Fu Yi said: "Don't be angry with the old lady next time, you can't be in a hurry when you are old." ”

Zhu Rong said: "I deliberately made a look of knowing, grandma can be more or less at ease, if I really know that no one knows the whereabouts of my second brother now, I will have trouble sleeping." I'll just get a few scoldings, so it's okay. ”

Seeing that he guessed his intentions, he was also very clear, and he smiled unconsciously.

Zhu Rong couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at, laughing at me for being stupid?" ”

"I won't tell you." Fuyi is very proud, but gentle and considerate, "You are good, I will take care of Yunzhi, and after a few days, the family can be more or less calm." ”

In this way, early the next morning, after teaching Ping Jue, he came to Dongyuan to help the eldest sister-in-law and Yun Yidao serve the second lady, the second lady was seriously ill, and she couldn't tell who was who for a while, and others couldn't stop her.

When the second lady fell asleep, everyone could take a break to rest, Yunzhi always liked to go to the second brother's house to stay, so he asked Feitong for a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes, and persuaded her to eat more.

Under the persuasion of Fuyi, Yunzhi moved his chopsticks, but when he thought that he would never see his brother again, he couldn't help but cry.

"You're like this, it seems that the second son is gone?" Fu Yi said with a cold face, "The same result, it's better to be happy for him, the second cousin can finally live the life he wants." ”

Yun Zhi looked at Fuyi in a daze, and said with tears in his eyes: "Then I'...... What to do? ”

Before the words fell, I saw Scarlet Tong break into the door with a citron, which was supposed to be waiting for the girls to write in the study, but her heart was tight, thinking that something had happened to her sisters.

Unexpectedly, the citron panted and said with a crying voice: "The third son, the third son was carried back, covered with blood ......"
