Mrs. Tong didn't learn the news until another half a month, and this thunderbolt almost killed her in one fell swoop. (Chinese every day.) Even though the New Year is approaching, the family's land and property are mortgaged in the pawnshop, if Hou Ye asks when the New Year is settled, she may not even have the foothold of the Hou Mansion, let alone be as powerful as she is now.

Therefore, Mrs. Tong, who was "clever, smart and bold", began to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall with difficulty, borrowed usury from the underground bank to redeem the land deed, and then borrowed money from other underground banks to repay the previous family. At this time, she deeply regretted selling all the shops, only the two shops under Ruan Siqi's name, which were the dowry of someone's mother that day, even if she wanted to make up her mind, the old marquis must not allow it.

Counting on the thousands of acres of grain in the fields, where is the daily expenses of the Hou Mansion? Not to mention that she still has to pay back. In desperation, Mrs. Tong made a risky move, and sold all the thousands of hectares of land one after another, and forged some other land deeds, anyway, she felt the temper of the Hou Ye, and she would never look closely.

If you just sell your land, at least you can always maintain the life of the Hou Mansion. But Mrs. Tong suffered this incident, not only did not reflect on herself, but also had a gambler mentality, thinking that she had put the money in the past, and there was no accident for several years, but now it was just because of an accident.

So the woman who got into the horns of the ox gave away all the money she had from selling the land, and as the saying goes, if a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water, and coincidentally, she again entrusted her brother to help her do this. But it fell into the hands of a group of crooks again, so nearly 50,000 yuan of silver was lost again.

In such a catastrophe, Mrs. Rao is Tong is extremely smart, but she can't think of a remedy. I had no choice but to rely on the name of the Hou Mansion. secretly borrowed money from an underground bank to maintain the daily expenses of the Hou Mansion, while urging his younger brother to search for and arrest the gang of liars all over the country, and the old Hou Ye didn't even know about this. Ruan Siqi was unwilling to deal with this stepmother, so he was also concealed.

It's like a volcano, which looks calm on the surface, but the magma is surging underneath, and one day, when it can no longer be suppressed, the volcano will erupt.

And the Loyal Marquis Mansion was very unfortunate. As soon as the volcano erupted, two erupted.

The illness of the faithful marquis was not caused by this incident. It's just something specific. The little guy doesn't know. He only knew that when those people came to the door and scolded and asked for money, the old marquis had already suffered a stroke, and his illness was not serious. I asked a doctor for treatment. Unexpectedly, people rushed into the courtyard immediately after, listening to those ugly scoldings, Ruan Siqi was about to deal with it, only to find Mrs. Tong standing aside with a blank face. Her body shook, and then the woman ran to the old marquis and begged him for help, and told the matter 1510. This time, the old marquis was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, his mouth was shaking, and he fainted with his head crooked, and when he woke up again, he was demented and demented, not only could he not get out of bed, but he couldn't even speak.

Although the situation in the Hou Mansion was as chaotic as a pot of porridge, Ruan Yunsi was greatly relieved when she heard this.

According to the symptoms that this little guy said, the old marquis should still have a stroke, but because the thing was too sudden and the blow was too severe, the symptoms worsened. She knows that many elderly people who have suffered severe strokes can survive and save their lives in the end, and even some people will not have a problem living for another ten or eight years.

The mind of a child always feels that his parents are good as long as they live, even if he is paralyzed and dumb, as long as he is alive, it is always a thought. Especially in this ancient era of "filial piety first", the children who are really filial to each other do not have a saying such as "there is no filial son before the bed of a long illness". Even if there is, before becoming an unfilial son, I always want my parents to live.

Ruan Yunsi is now in this kind of mentality.

Although strictly speaking, she is not the biological daughter of the old marquis, in those days in the Hou Mansion, she also hated this father for favoring his stepmother and having little affection for herself. However, a few years after she came out and fled, she has slowly learned that this is the fatherly love of her ancient father, especially after recognizing Ruan Siqi, the other party always said how her father cared about herself, which made Ruan Yunsi even more guilty and moved, if it wasn't for what she did and couldn't turn back, she also wanted to do a filial piety for the old man. Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and now she can go back, but in such a situation as the Hou Mansion, if possible, she hopes that she can have the opportunity to do her filial piety for this nominal father.

The carriage was speeding on the official road, and the little guy finished telling the matter, so it was naturally not good to continue to stay in the car, and after he went out, Yun Niang looked at Ruan Yunsi, and said quietly for a long time: "No wonder you always behave differently from us in the past days, I guessed in my heart at that time, thinking that you may be a down-and-out lady in the middle of the road, but I never thought that you ...... You are the daughter of the Hou Mansion. ”

Ruan Yunsi smiled bitterly: "What about the daughter of the Hou Mansion? On the contrary, it is better to be born in the country people's homes, live a life of peace and tranquility, when someone comes to kiss, you can take a sneak look at yourself, look at it, the two of them depend on each other for a lifetime, just think about it, there is infinite joy in my heart, such a simple and unpretentious life, although ordinary, but it is the happiness that I could not get at all that day. ”

Yun Niang sighed and said, "Isn't it good to be rich and prosperous?" How many people think that they are a young lady but can't, they haven't seen you run away like this. So, that Ruan Gongzi is really your brother? Strange way, I was puzzled that day, but I didn't dare to believe it, thinking that maybe you were cousins or something, alas! If you refuse to say these things, and we don't ask about them, we know that there must be hardships. ”

Ruan Yunsi nodded and said with a wry smile: "I know, thank you for understanding me and supporting me, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to live so comfortably." Yun Niang, I am the daughter of the daughter who came out of the Houmen, but let me tell you, if it is possible, I would not want to be reborn in such a wealthy family for the rest of my life, I would rather be a village girl, sunrise and sunset, coarse tea and light rice to live a peaceful life. ”

Yun Niang frowned and thought about it carefully, but still shook her head and said: "Maybe what my sister said makes sense, but who doesn't want to live in the days of fine clothes and fine food?" Well, after all, what did you run away from marriage that day? Is it because your father and mother promised you a bad family? ”

Ruan Yunsi looked at Yun Niang, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "Sister, can't you guess my identity until now?" Could it be that you didn't hear any news of the incident that was in an uproar that the whole world knew about that day? ”

"What's the matter?"

Yun Niang was stunned, and saw that Ruan Yunsi's gaze seemed to be projected somewhere, but it was very ethereal, and then she said quietly: "Haven't you always been very strange?" Since Su Gongzi is so good, I am not completely ruthless to him, but why, I always refuse to agree to him? ”

"Isn't it because he has concubines, but my sister will never let her husband have three wives and four concubines, so she would rather be a widow for herself?"

Yun Niang said strangely, but as soon as the words fell, a thought suddenly flashed in her heart, and the whole person was as if she had been hit by Jiao Lei, completely stunned, and after a long time, she said: "Many years ago, there was a ...... There was a person from the Hou Mansion who also came to our place to find a woman, and we didn't know what was going on at the time, but later we learned that the woman had run away from marriage, could it be ...... Could it be that the woman is your sister? Escape...... Running away from marriage, you ...... You can escape...... Could it be the marriage of the little grandfather? Yes, yes, this matter, although we were in a poor and remote country that day, there was clearly a little rumor. ”

Ruan Yunsi nodded silently.

Yun Niang's mouth was open as if she could swallow a duck egg, and she looked at Ruan Yunsi dumbfounded, and after a long time, she muttered, "No wonder...... No wonder you didn't mince words about your little grandfather from the very beginning; No wonder you don't like us to make jokes about you and him; No wonder you refuse to give him a little hope no matter how tender and sweet you are; No wonder the little grandfather was even stalking before, but after that time, he didn't have a little thought, that is...... Does he know who you are? ’

Ruan Yunsi nodded again, here Yun Niang thought about it stupidly, and didn't know how to comment on this matter, so she could only shake her head and sigh: "This ...... This creation makes people, how did God give you two such a fate? Is...... Alas! How do you pronounce that poem? My dead ghost used to read it to me, cut it or something......"

Ruan Yunsi was full of misery at the moment, but when she saw Yun Niang's chaotic appearance, she was also amused by her, and sighed softly: "Cutting constantly, sorting out is still messy, it is sorrow, and there is no general taste in my heart." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, alas! You said you ...... about this" Yun Niang patted her forehead and muttered: "Innocent can play tricks on people, it turns out that you should have been the wife of the little grandfather, but you have made trouble to this point." Now my sister is sad, but I don't know how the little grandfather feels aggrieved. was supposed to be her own woman, but she couldn't get it in every way of being gentle and considerate, and in the end, she was even more like a stranger, what kind of way is this? It's not ......."

When she said this, she saw Ruan Yunsi's pale face, and then she realized that she was clearly revealing her sister's scars, and quickly slapped it lightly on her mouth, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't think too much, my sister can't speak, and I just feel that this thing is really ...... for a while It's so bizarre, now I don't know what the situation is in the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid that my sister will have to make up your mind, you must stabilize your mind. ”

Ruan Yunsi nodded, sighed and said, "I know, alas! Now I don't want anything, I just hope that my father can be safe, even if he is half paralyzed, as long as he is alive, he can still let me, an unfilial girl, have the opportunity to serve the decoction, and I don't dare to ask for anything else. ”RQ
