The next day, her head was still a little heavy, and she went to Beiyuan again accompanied by Yun Cui, because the misunderstanding was resolved, and the door of Beiyuan was no longer locked, but the door was still closed, and she tentatively pushed the door.

The door opened, and as soon as she entered, she was surprised to find that Lingli was also there.

She was stunned, Lingli hadn't spoken to her for a long time, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Lingli suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Mother Wu usually takes good care of us, I'll take a look." ”

Wu's mother usually has a lot of things to do, and she neglects to take care of Wu Tong, Lingli took the initiative to help take care of her more in the future, Wu's mother thinks that Lingli is a sincere girl, and she agrees if she knows how to be grateful.

However, she naturally has her own calculations in her heart.

Li Yao said: "Oh, okay. ”

She probed into the room as she spoke, but Ling Li said, "I just gave her medicine, and she fell asleep, are you looking for her?" She's not very clear now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to answer whatever you ask her. ”

Ling Li seemed to see through her thoughts, Li Yao hesitated, it didn't seem appropriate at this time today, so she said: "It's nothing, come and have a look like you, since she fell asleep, I'll leave first." ”

"Does the third sister want to know why she thinks of you as your mother?"

Li Yao, who was just about to go out, paused, turned around and looked at Ling Li in disbelief: "What do you know?" ”

"You sit down first, and I'll talk to you slowly."

Li Yao had to sit down, Ling Li didn't speak immediately, looked at the maid behind her and motioned for her to go out first, and then looked at Yun Cui.

Since the relationship between Li Yao and Li Lingli was stiff, Yun Cui didn't like this fifth lady very much, she was unmoved, until Li Yao ordered her to go out and wait together, she closed the door with an unhappy face.

Ling Li spoke for a long time before she spoke, and said: "I also heard others mention it when I was a child, Wu's mother's daughter lived in the house when she was a child, because her father died early, the eldest aunt was distressed, so she asked Wu's mother to take her into the house, she had the best relationship with your mother when she was a child, and she always followed her buttocks, and later... ”

She paused: "Later, your mother and the third uncle got along, and the family was unhappy, your mother was punished, and she was also locked up by Wu's mother." ”

"And how did she become like this?"

Ling Li was a little surprised, and asked rhetorically, "Have these three uncles never told you?" ”

Li Yao shook her head, these topics have always been forbidden to be talked about in their family.

Ling Li said: "Then I can't say anything!" ”

"Why?"

Li Yao felt more and more that there were many secrets she didn't know, those things she had always wanted to explore!

Lingli stood up to leave, her face full of mystery, but the more she was like this, the more Li Yao wanted to figure out what was going on.

At this time, there was some noise in the door, Wu Tong came out of the back room, her hair was tied up today, and her whole face was exposed, although she was several years older than them, she looked no different from her peers, plus she behaved like a child, she looked even smaller.

"Aunt Qiu, are you coming to see Tongtong again?"

As soon as she saw Li Yao, she smiled like an innocent child, and her dull eyes had some light.

"Tongtong, sit down!"

Li Yao was afraid that she would get sick, so she coaxed her to sit down and took out the snacks given to her to eat.

Li Yao was a little helpless, she said, "Fifth sister, tell me." ”

Lingli continued to refuse: "My aunt has always forbidden us to talk about these things at home, and if she finds out, my mother and I will have to be punished!" ”

She was a little lost, but still did not give up, said: "Since I was a child, I have no mother, when I see other people's children hiding in their mother's arms and coquettish, I am very envious, I always ask my father about my mother, but he always understates a few words, and now I go back to the place where they once lived, but I still don't know anything." ”

Ling Li seemed to be a little moved, she sat down again, and looked at Wu Tong, who had already eaten a table full of shortbread crumbs, and frowned slightly.

"I know that third sister, what you say counts, and I really can't look past it, so I'll tell you! But this is a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Li Yao said anxiously: "I understand. ”

"The old lady couldn't get used to the things of the third uncle back then, plus the third uncle withdrew from Hu Huilan's family affairs, and I heard that the old lady ordered someone to fill your mother with fetal pills, and the third uncle was locked up again, and your mother was dying and could only wait for death. This scene is said to have been seen by Wu Tong, who was only three or four years old at the time, and was scared and demented. ”

Word by word was like a knife in Li Yao's heart back and forth, she was so shocked that she couldn't help herself, her father once said that her mother had been in poor health, so she died soon after giving birth to her, could it be that she was the root of the disease because she was poured with fetal pills?

The elders in the family must have known about this, so they took themselves back soon after the old lady died?

She was in shock and anger when Wu Tong next to her suddenly screamed, crying hysterically while grabbing her hair, and the things on the table were grabbed by her and thrown around.

When she was sick, her strength was amazing, and several maids next to her couldn't hold her down, Lingli was so frightened that she hid aside, knowing that it was her words just now that aroused her hidden memories.

Li Yao didn't have time to grieve, and held her down with the maids, if according to Lingli, she had the best relationship with her mother, then she would definitely listen to herself.

She simply hugged Wu Tong and patted her back like a child: "Tongtong, don't be afraid, Aunt Qiu is here, don't be afraid!" ”

Her reassuring voice gradually had an effect, Wu Tong's mood slowly stabilized, and the loud cry turned into a small sob.

At this time, Wu's mother also rushed over, saw that the house was in a mess, and saw Wu Tong holding Li Yao, her eyes were a little complicated, she didn't seem to want Li Yao to come to see her, so she went over and asked, "What happened?" Ling Li hurriedly replied first: "The third sister came to see Wu Tong, maybe she remembered Aunt Qiu again, and she cried for a while, it's okay." ”

Li Yao helped her sit down, and Ling Li stood up and said, "I'll go back first." ”

After sending Ling Li away, Wu's mother helped Wu Tong into the inner room again, and only Li Yao and her were left in the room.

Wu's mother wanted to speak and stopped: "Wu Tong, her mind is not very clear, and she can't see too many people." ”

Li Yao suddenly said: "Wu Tong regards me as my mother, and their relationship is so good, so is your relationship also very good?" You know her, don't you? ”

Mother Wu was stunned, she knew that she couldn't hide it, so she nodded: "Yes, I have a good relationship with Qiuyue." ”

"Then you must have been until the past, why did my father leave the Li Mansion with his mother overnight?"

Mother Wu's eyes were slightly red, she closed the door of the inner room tightly, sat down and said: "When your mother followed the third master, she has been suppressed, she was locked in the firewood room by the old lady, everyone avoided her, only I secretly took some things for her, and then she was pregnant and was released, but the old lady couldn't tolerate her after all, your father was tempered and ran away from home with her." ”

"Didn't you feed the abortion pills?" Li Yao said.

"Who did you listen to?" Mother Wu stood up suddenly, opened her eyes wide, and went to the door again to open the door, for fear that the wall would have ears.

Her nervous appearance made Li Yao firmly believe that what Ling Li said was true.

Mother Wu's face was pale, and she lowered her voice and said: "Third Miss, you can't say this kind of thing, no matter who says it, it will rot in your stomach, I am for your good!" Remember, what you just said is nothing! ”

Wu's mother's words made Li Yao fall into deep thought, and she suddenly felt that the seemingly calm Li family seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets.

Wu's mother said again: "I'll take her back in two days, there have been too many things in the past two days, the eldest lady will definitely ask, you must not talk nonsense!" ”

When she came out of Beiyuan, the whole person was in a trance, and Yun Cui, who was squatting at the door, hurriedly went over to support her, and asked with concern: "Miss, why do you have such a bad face!" ”

She shook her head and said, "Sometimes I always feel that I can't tell the difference between reality and illusion, and everything seems to be an illusion!" ”

Yun Cui couldn't understand what she was saying, Wu Tong was crazy, she was afraid that her young lady would also be infected with madness if she came into contact with her, so she hurriedly said: "I'm real, Miss, don't scare me!" ”

She smiled wryly: "I know you're real!" ”

Yun Cui continued to follow her with peace of mind.

Lingli came home with a relaxed face, her mother came out, saw that she seemed to be in a good mood, and asked, "Where did you go just now, you can't find it everywhere." ”

She said: "I went to Beiyuan to see Wu's mother's daughter." ”

Mrs. Fifth was a little surprised: "What are you doing there?" Beware of being infected with madness! ”

"Mom, do you recognize Qiuyue?" She asked suddenly.

Mrs. Fifth entered the door late and had never seen Qiu Yue, she shook her head: "After I entered the door, I heard someone mention it, but I didn't see it and didn't recognize it." ”

Ling Li was a little proud, the descendants of the Li family have changed batch after batch, but fortunately, there are always a few old people or people who know the inside story.

And this person is the housekeeper Liu Tian.

He is the nephew of the former housekeeper, so he naturally knows everything that happened to the Li family, but he holds his handle again, and it is not natural to ask what he wants.

Lingli knew that once Li Yao knew the truth, she would inevitably have a grudge against the Li family, so she chose this moment to reveal the matter to her, perhaps, without her action, Li Yao, who had never been able to rub a piece of sand in her eyes, would leave the Li family on her own.

As long as she doesn't come to herself, she won't be disgusted with her.

However, in addition to her disgust for Li Yao in her heart, as Linglong's wedding was approaching, she began to gradually become jealous of her in her heart, she secretly told herself that she couldn't be worse than any of them, and now, the eldest sister Linghui is divorced at home, Li Yao's reputation is damaged, no one cares, only Linglong occupies the scenery, she can't help the restless heart, she must also marry her beloved.
