Upstairs in the old bustard's room, Yan Heyi and Liang Feichen sat opposite each other, and the old bustard stood aside nervously and said, "This little six, in fact, is actually a relative of mine. Such an answer was not unexpected by the two, Yan Heyi asked, "Then what kind of relative is he?" The old bustard's face turned red, and his tongue was not so sharp, "He, he is actually a distant relative of mine, and he can't be beaten with eight poles." More than a year ago, he suddenly came to me, saying that there was a fire in his house, which had destroyed the house, and that he had nowhere to go, and that I saw that he was pitiful, so he stayed to do some rough work that no one wanted to do. ”

"I don't think so!" Liang Feichen said, "If you don't say anything else, just say that his hands are more delicate than the girls here, not to mention rough work, I'm afraid he doesn't do things on weekdays, right?" The bustard's face turned red again, "That, later, later, I saw that he was articulate and liked by the guests, so I asked him to greet the guests." ”

"Oh, I see!" Yan Heyi pretended to be confused and said, "Then do you know that he came to Yihong Courtyard to find something." The bustard shook his head and said, "I really don't know, what is he looking for?" Liang Feichen said, "The jade cicada, a piece of jade cicada, is hidden in Xiaohong's room. ”

"It can't be!" The old bustard shouted, "When she came, she didn't even have a piece of silver scum except for the tattered clothes that the pawnshop didn't collect, where did the jade cicada come from?" Oh, didn't she steal it from some guest? ”

Yan Heyi sneered and said, "Xiaohong has arrived here, and she hasn't picked up a guest yet, so why do you want to steal a guest's things?" I'm afraid someone deliberately put it in her room and harmed her, right? "But, even if the girls privately accept the money and possessions of the guests, they will pass my eyes, and why don't I remember any jade cicadas?" These little hooves, playing with me, are impatient! ”

The old bustard was really ruthless, she didn't wait for Yan Heyi to speak, she immediately called the turtle men over, and said menacingly, "Go, go to everyone's room, don't let go anywhere, find out all their private things for me!" ”

An order was given, and a moment later, there was chaos in Yihong Courtyard. The turtle scolded, and the girls' cries were louder than a while. After the first rooster crowed, a large pile of gold, silver and jewelry appeared in the bustard's room.

She stared at the girls with a gloomy face. It is also common for the girl in the Qinglou to hide private money, but for the bustard, it is a big deal. She snorted coldly and said, "I've grown my skills, and I know that I am hiding private money behind my back!" Since the wings are stiff, and I don't need to shelter them, then from tomorrow onwards, let's all leave Yihong Courtyard, just right, I'm impatient to play for you again, just so everyone is worry-free! ”

Knowing that she was angry, the girls also changed their faces in fright, because they really had nowhere to go except here. Chunhua took the lead and knelt down and said to the bustard, "Mom, you know, these girls are still young and ignorant, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about them." You are the most merciful, and we really don't have a second place to live but here! ”

"yes Mom, we were wrong!"

"We're willing to hand these things over!"

"Mom, don't drive us away!"

The girls begged hard, and the bustard was also touched by her feelings, and shed tears, "I also came by this road, and I don't understand your thoughts." I don't want any of these things. I am over forty years old, and I am alone, neither old nor young, and I have saved enough money for my life. I'm just sad, even though I beat and scolded you, it's all for your good. After entering this kind of place, there is no turning back, even if I don't say or do it, can you really go back to the way before? ”

Most of the girls standing here were sold by their fathers, brothers and relatives, and the bustard was right, there was no turning back. Those ruthless relatives will only sell them again. The bustard said, "I am thinking that someone will redeem you for you." Maybe you think that I want too much silver, just like Xiaohong, I actually asked this son for five hundred taels of gold. However, if you don't want to spend even this little money for you, can you really treat you well in the future? ”

"Mom, we know it's wrong!"

This confession of mistake made the old bustard's tears no longer stop, she said, "Xiaohong is dead, Qiu Xiang is also injured, I know, all of you are afraid, if there is really something to leave, I will not stop you." In addition to these things, I will give each of you another hundred taels of silver! ”

None of the girls wanted to leave, so the bustard wiped her tears and said, "Since you all refuse to go, then I will simply make it clear, although we are Qinglou women, we are not allowed to be spoiled at will!" She turned to Yan Heyi and said, "Childe, I can see that you are not an ordinary person, I Yan Lanyuan exchanged all my net worth for a truth, as long as you can catch the murderer who killed Xiaohong, it will take my life, and I am willing!" ”

At that moment, the old bustard led all the girls to kneel, Yan Heyi thought for a while and said, "Mother and girls, please get up, I agreed to this matter, but I don't want money or life, I just need to tell the truth, who is this little six?" ”

In front of the girls, the bustard had a lot of things that were inconvenient to say, but at this moment, she couldn't care so much, she gritted her teeth and said, "Little Liu, Little Six is actually my illegitimate child!" As soon as these words came out, all the girls suddenly realized that the bustard's "care" for Xiaoliu on weekdays was precisely because of their mother-son relationship.

"I'm an old face with a thick skin, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. Back then, someone wanted to marry me and go home, and I was young at that time, so I took what the negative person said seriously, and so I had this child. I refused to pick up customers while pushing and dragging, and at the same time concealed my pregnancy, but my mother still found out. I begged her, and bought her with a lot of money, so that I could keep the child, but when the child was born, he was sent to the country. ”

The old bustard wiped his tears and said, "It's been twenty years, and when this child came to me, I didn't recognize it." It was only with the little golden lock I had on his neck that he was sure that he was my child. ”

Liang Feichen said, "The recognition of mother and son is indeed a great joy. It's just that with your current ability, you don't have to leave him as a turtle father, you can buy a house and let him marry a wife and have children. The bustard nodded and said, "This is the strange place, the boy said that he wanted to accompany me, and no matter how much I persuaded him, it was to no avail, so I decided to keep him!" ”
