Mrs. Ming woke up from a dream and heard a low voice outside, so she asked, "Who is outside?" ”

After a while, the maid came in with the second lady.

"Old lady, it's the second lady who has come to see you."

Old Madam Ming smiled weakly and was about to sit up.

The second lady stepped forward, carefully supported her waist, and gently helped her up.

"Did my mother sleep well?"

Mrs. Ming said wryly: "The second child hasn't come back yet, how can I sleep?" ”

The second lady wanted to speak and stopped.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been together for more than 20 years, and Mrs. Ming knew at a glance that she had something to say, so she said: "You can say whatever you want, it's all at this time, what are you doing hiding it?" ”

The second lady smiled modestly and said to the maid: "Mother's medicine is afraid that it is cold, you can go and take a look." ”

"Yes."

The old lady looked at her and couldn't help asking, "What is the matter?" ”

The second lady also thought about it all night.

She and the second master had already broken down, and there was no need to hesitate to give him up to save her son. But how can you say this to the old lady? The second master is her biological son!

"Just now, that Yang Gongzi came to the door." After a moment's consideration, the second lady said.

The old lady was stunned: "What did he come to do?" ”

"See Xiao Qi."

The old lady lowered her eyelids and said after a while, "Can he follow his path?" ”

The second lady didn't seem to hear the meaning of her words, and continued: "The daughter-in-law probed some words from Xiao Qi and came to ask her mother for an idea. ”

The old lady sensed that something was wrong.

Her words are so clear, it is impossible for the second lady not to understand, why do you avoid talking about it like this?

The old lady's mind slowly sank: "You say." ”

"The master has made a mistake." The second lady said softly, "It's a big deal to raid the family and exterminate the clan." ”

“……”

The silence of the old lady made the second lady's heart go up and down.

The incident of the third lady forced them to follow the scene, and they more or less expected it, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

After a while, she said, "You go on." ”

"Yes." The second lady calmed down, "Now that the incident has happened, not only the master, but also the uncle and fifth uncle in the capital will also be implicated." Xiao Qi said that taking the post and copying the family can be regarded as the emperor's grace. ”

The old lady looked indifferent.

She had already guessed what the second lady wanted to say.

"Yang Gongzi's meaning is to ask us to cooperate with the report and make meritorious contributions. In that case, you may be able to keep your juniors and keep hope. Otherwise, the whole family may confess. ”

The second lady deliberately said this as Yang Shu's meaning.

In this way, the portion is heavy enough.

Who knew that after she finished speaking, Mrs. Ming didn't speak for a long time.

The second lady was apprehensive in her heart, but she didn't dare to urge.

After a while, I heard the old lady sigh faintly: "That's what you mean, right?" ”

The second lady was shocked: "Mother." ”

"Since the eldest sister's incident, you and the second child have been disgusted with each other. If you give him up and keep the child, you will be willing. ”

The second lady was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Mother Mingjian, I am indeed extremely disappointed in him. But he is the father of the third and sixth sons, and for the sake of the child, I also hope that he will be well. It's just that it's too big for you to take him out......"

Old Madam Ming waved her hand and interrupted her: "You don't have to argue, I know better than you what is going on here." ”

The second lady moved her lips and did not speak.

I heard the old lady ask, "Second daughter-in-law, how many years have you been in our house?" ”

The second lady replied: "Twenty-five years. ”

"It's been twenty-five years." The old lady smiled, "In the past twenty-five years, the Ming family has treated you well. You are in charge of the family, and you say a word, and it is not a debt to you. ”

"Yes......" Hearing this, the second lady became even more uneasy.

"Life will eventually come together." The old lady closed her eyes, "I just hope that you will remember this love in the future and treat the third and sixth brothers well." ”

After the second lady was stunned, she was shocked: "Mother! ”

The old lady looked blank: "You are a mother, and I am also a mother, how can I not know your thoughts?" I know in my heart what crime the second child committed. You chose this way, although you are a little affectionate, it is not sorry for him. I will not be angry with you, and you will not come to me in the future. You are in charge of those things. ”

With that, she turned her head away and said no more.

The second lady listened in a daze and couldn't help but burst into tears.

She married into the Ming family for 25 years and got along with the old lady for 25 years. Listening to the old lady's words, how can you not be sad?

But what could she say at the moment? Giving up her husband to save the child, this decision cannot be shaken, she must be sorry for the old lady.

The second lady slowly knelt down: "Thank you mother for your understanding." ”

After the salute, she stood up and walked out with a resolute expression.

The old lady turned her head and looked at the empty room, and she was also full of tears.

She is also a mother, and she also wants to save the child, but she can't save it, she can't save it!

recalled that day, the second child brought someone to ask her for sin.

At that time, she knew that the Ming family was finished.

……

In the afternoon, the searchers came.

Leading the team was Lei Hong.

As soon as he arrived, he sent someone to invite Mingwei.

"Miss Seven." Lei Hong stood up and saluted.

There are no men in the Ming family now, only the second lady is here.

Ming Wei returned the salute and gave the second lady a salute: "Second aunt." ”

The second lady didn't have a smile on her face, only nodded stiffly in response.

"It's not too early, let's start now!" Lei Hong went straight to the point, "Second lady, are you leading the way?" ”

The second lady nodded: "My lord, please come with me." ”

On the way, the two heard the second lady say: "Ten years ago, the master suddenly asked me to clean up a yard and come out to use it as a study for him. Everything else is secondary, it must be secluded enough. In the past ten years, except for the Ma Pozi who is serving here, no one is allowed to step in, not even me. ”

The second lady paused, showing a mocking smile: "The man's family is careless, he doesn't want to think about it, I cleaned up this house, and I take care of this house, even if I can't step into this courtyard, how can I know nothing?" There's a guy in this room! ”

By this point, they had already reached the outside of the courtyard.

Lei Hong winked, and the official behind him broke in.

The second lady slowly stepped in.

"Here, although I haven't been in for ten years, there are some things that I don't necessarily know less than him!"

The courtyard is not big, with three main rooms, plus a wing room and a lower room.

The second lady opened the main room: "The things you want should be here." Not long after the man moved in, there was work on it, so you have to pay attention to whether there is a dark room. ”

Mingwei glanced at her in surprise: "Second aunt ......"

The second lady was expressionless, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a short time, the official who searched for it reported loudly: "My lord, I found the secret room!" ”
