After the palace eunuch left that day, I spent two whole days in my autumn water residence, not taking a step, meditating on my life.

After the heavy snowfall, the weather is slightly clear.

I watched under the eaves as Zilan cleaned up the bonsai in the courtyard.

You Ran came back and went directly to my courtyard and prayed in front of me.

He said that he dared to come back only after his injuries were healed, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the government.

I told him to rest, and he was injured that day, and it was only a few days, how much better he could get.

As he turned to leave, I stopped him again.

Because I suddenly remembered what he said to me that day, and I didn't understand it at the time.

You Ran smiled nervously on his dull face, "No, it's nothing." ”

I wondered, is it really nothing?

"Since it's nothing, then you go and rest." I whispered softly.

You Ran bowed to me again and walked out of the courtyard door slowly.

Looking at the back of the wandering away, I faintly felt like I had seen him somewhere, and I felt so kind.

Back in the inner room, Zilan served me snacks, pursing her lips and smiling from time to time, as if she was excited about something.

I glanced at her and said softly, "What is there to be so excited about?" ”

Zilan hurriedly lowered her eyes, straightened her complexion, and then looked at me, as if she had something to say.

"Say whatever you want." I said with a light smile.

Zilan looked at me and said softly in a hurry, "Second Miss, after the emperor sent such a gift to our Qiushui Ju that day, do you know, I heard that the eldest lady was very angry in her courtyard, and she was angry with Ziyu, and knocked the tea on Ziyu, and Ziyu's hands were burned. ”

I frowned slightly, and whispered coldly, "In the future, I will not talk about the affairs of the master in the house behind my back." ”

Ziyu hurriedly lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake, "The slave knows." ”

Ying Lin was making my bed, and I looked at her, remembering the words of the King of the North Sea that day.

When she turned to meet my gaze, she was slightly stunned.

She walked up to me and whispered, "Second Miss, you can take a nap." ”

I said lightly, "That day, the King of Beihai went to the Shili River, and he said that you told him. ”

Ying Lin's body was stunned for a moment, probing my expression, and then said, "Yes, it was the slave who said it." After the young lady went out that day, the slave maid went to the market and happened to meet His Royal Highness the King of Beihai, and His Royal Highness asked the young lady what the slave maid was doing, and the slave maid informed His Highness. ”

Actually, Yinglin didn't do anything wrong, I didn't explain that she couldn't say it.

Without further questioning, I got up and walked over to the soft chair, leaning back on it.

Bursts of fragrance wafted from the incense burner.

I quietly recalled what Aunt He said, and all the things that Gao Shouwen said about the third aunt Da Xilan.

I heard that the third aunt was a weak and quiet woman, but I didn't feel that it was necessarily like this.

That night, the mother stole into the Qiyan Pavilion, not to miss the third aunt, but to say a few words about the portrait of Huan'er.

After I thought about it, I suddenly realized that my mother should be more familiar with Huan'er than with the third aunt, it must be so.

What is the relationship between mother and ju'er?

I sat upright, feeling a little depressed and uneasy, and I didn't know whether to ask my mother.

When I thought of my mother's indifference to me and the sneakiness of that night, she would never say anything to me if I asked.

But now I can only think of my mother, and I can only get more clues about the snarls from my mother.

But how do I ask?

I asked Yinglin to boil a can of chicken soup and came to my mother's yard in the name of delivering chicken soup.

Mama Lin was busy catching the chicken soup brought by Yinglin.

My mother sat in the soft chair and ignored me, not much expression.

I greeted me respectfully and sat down in the chair in front of my mother.

"Is my mother okay?" I asked softly.

The mother chuckled and said indifferently, "It's the same old way." ”

"My daughter knows a Langzhong, and her medical skills are okay, why don't you invite that Langzhong to show her mother?"

My mother looked at me with an unpredictable look, "No need, my own body knows it by itself, and that's it when I look at it again." ”

My mother didn't appreciate my affection, and my heart was like a stone.

She spoke to me with the same demeanor as if she were giving an eviction order, and I really couldn't understand why our mother's relationship was like this.

Sitting in front of her, I felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Calming down, I looked at Mama Lin and Yinglin on the side and said to the two of them, "I have something to say to my mother alone, you stand down." ”

After they had bowed out, I looked at my mother, who gave me a puzzled look and looked away.

I was scared in my heart, how should I ask.

The room was full of warmth, I looked at the carbon basin, sorted out my complexion, and looked at my mother, "Two days ago, my daughter went to Shili River to see Mama He. As I spoke, I looked at my mother's face, and she was slightly stunned.

"My daughter has dreamed of Mama He recently, so I miss her a little, and after inquiring, I learned that Mama He's residence went to visit, my mother doesn't mind, right?"

The mother smiled a little uneasily, "How come, Mama He has been taking care of Rong'er, and Rong'er should go to visit." ”

I immediately said, "But Mama He can't speak, Rong'er doesn't understand, but Mother knows?" ”

I stared at my mother, trying to see her reaction, and I instinctively thought that Mama He's loss of voice must have something to do with her.

Hearing my words, it was obvious that my mother was a little nervous.

She was stunned and stabilized her expression, and said lightly, "It happened many years ago, I don't remember it very much, it seems that one day, He couldn't speak when he got up in the morning, and the people in the house said that she might have eaten the wrong thing, so she lost her voice, and then she often did wrong things, and the house would no longer hire a dumb waiter, so she was dismissed." ”

I smiled casually, "Oh, I see. "But I don't think so.

My mother held her head on her hands, looking a little sleepy, and she just didn't want to talk to me too much.

I smiled, understanding my mother's intentions.

In my heart, I have retreated from mentioning the third aunt and Huan'er.

I stood up and chuckled, "Mother is sleepy, go to rest, and my daughter will retire first." ”

My mother didn't even look at me, she just waved her hand.

When I stood up, I walked out of her room with no expression on my face.

Back to his autumn water residence, a plum tree in the courtyard is blooming, light and fragrant.

I stood under the plum tree, staring at the bright red flowers of the tree, and there were vague memories in my head.

There seemed to be a plum grove in front of me, and the flowers were blooming.

In the plum blossom forest, I am running, running towards the flower forest.

Not far in front of me stood a man under the plum tree, standing in the middle of the plum forest with his back to me, his snow-white robe shining in the sea of red flowers.

I rushed over, the man turned around, his white robe, with bluegrass embroidered on the cuffs, stretched out his hand to put his arms around me, I fell into his arms, and sobbed loudly, "Jingqi, I only have you in the future, only you, what should I do!" ”

The young man hugged me tightly, and I cried sadly in his arms.

I felt my heart ache and I was so sad.

"Second Miss—"

I suddenly woke up, and in a daze, Zilan was already beside me and was looking at me.

I could feel the pain in my mood and pain.

I raised my eyes and looked at the plum blossoms in front of me again, and I really didn't know what was going on with the sudden hallucination just now.

It's so real, those images are like they are right in front of me, and I feel the same heartache I just had.

I reached out and stroked my cheek, which still had tears on my face.

Did I really cry just now?

"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" Zilan asked softly beside her.

I shook my head in a daze and chuckled, "It's okay, the wind and sand are blowing in my eyes." ”

"The slave will show you." Zilan panicked.

I wiped my eyes again and smiled, "It's okay." ”

On this day, the whole day, I was wandering, I was not interested in anything, I always felt so tired, my head was so heavy.

Under the night breeze, I stood under the eaves, staring blankly at the plum tree in the courtyard again, thinking of the boy who appeared in the illusion, and the boy in the dream.

His name is Jingqi.

He is the elder brother of Jingqi of Huan'er.

Who the hell is this teenager?

Why have these two people been in my dreams, and what do I have to do with them?

My mind was so confused, my confused memories kept going on and on, and I wanted all my memories to come back.

I felt like I had a secret hidden in my heart, and I might have lost my memory before I could recover so intermittently, and I couldn't connect during the recovery.

This night, I entered a deep nightmare again, and the scene in the dream was Gaofu.

The weather in the dream is cold, and the night wind is bleak.

I was very young, a little person in my dream.

I walked along the bluestone road in front of the courtyard in thick clothes, as if I had eaten too much and my stomach was uncomfortable.

In the dark night, I was alone in the quiet Fuchu Garden.

The garden was quiet and unoccupied.

Suddenly, I saw a figure walking in the direction of Qiyan Pavilion, and after looking closely, I saw that it was my mother. My mother's steps were too hurried, and I wanted to shout, but I still didn't open my mouth, and I hesitated.

I don't know what my mother is doing at my mother's place alone at such a late hour? So he quietly followed to take a look.

Walking to the courtyard of Qiyan Pavilion, it was very quiet, and the lights in the house were on.

The mother's steps slowed as she approached the windowsill of the eaves, and she approached softly, leaning against the window and listening inside.

I don't know why my mother is like this? I was very confused, and in order to find out, I also quietly approached, hid by the window on the other side, and listened to it like a mother.

There was a conversation in the house, and I could hear that there was a voice from the third aunt, Da Xilan.

I heard the third aunt say very clearly: "Senior sister, I know that I am sorry for you, sorry for your whole family, you can kill me, so as to avenge your whole family."

Then a strange woman's voice sounded, "It's good that you know...... Da Xilan, I have always regarded you as my dearest senior sister, respecting you and loving you, but what about you? For the sake of your father, you betrayed my family, ruined my family, and made me a homeless orphan...... Hundreds of people in the B family all died at your hands...... Are you worthy of me! Is it worthy of our sisterhood? ”

The woman's voice laughed contemptuously, "I'm so stupid, stupid enough to treat you Da Xilan as the closest person, but I never imagined that you—you would trample on the sisterhood between us so cheaply." ”

Hearing this, I was very frightened when I was young.

I have understood that there should be a thief in the house.

I want to scream, to call for people to come and catch the thief.

But when I saw my mother hiding there motionless, I didn't understand.

Why didn't my mother react?
