He Angelica looked like she was shocked, she twisted the handkerchief with both hands, bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time, then said hesitantly: "The people of the Luo family didn't tell me about this...... I don't dare to lie to my grandmother, these are all things I have dreamed about...... But I wish it was just a dream! ”

"Dreaming about it? How is this possible? Mama Tang wondered.

He Angelica nodded and said: "Even if I am dreaming, I can't believe it, I think that I am in a daze, and I must not take it seriously." Therefore, at first, I didn't dare to mention last night's nightmare when I saw my grandmother, but in the end, I couldn't help but want to inquire about the situation of my twin cousins to prove that the words of the fairy uncle in my dream were wrong......"

"Nightmares?" Mama Tang keenly grasped the key words, squinted her eyes and said, "What kind of nightmare is it?" ”

He Angelica paused, and then said: "It's not that Angelica is timid and afraid, but Angelica really doesn't dare to say these words, lest he blame his eldest cousin and eldest cousin." Just ask Mama to listen to it alone, don't tell others that I said it, otherwise...... Others may think that I cursed my cousin to death. ”

"Dead ...... Die?! You say Brother Zhu will die?! Mama Tang screamed.

He Angelica was so frightened that he shrank back, covered his mouth with his hands through the veil, shook his head again and again, and refused to say a word more, so angry that Mama Tang came over and pulled her arm away, barely suppressed her anxiety, and said softly: "There are just two of you and me here, you are a child, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, even if I really say something wrong, I won't blame you, let alone go to the young grandmother to say that you're not." Doesn't it make me guess in a worse direction by saying that half of it leaves me in suspense? ”

He Angelica was in a hurry, and the itching on his hands began to attack again, and he recalled while scratching the itch: "In my dream, I have returned to Luodong Mansion, and at night I think the sound of the gambling house of the rat and Aunt Wang is too noisy, so I put on a dress and go to ......."

"You say the gambling house?!" Mama Tang interrupted her and asked, "What kind of gambling house is it?!" ”

He Angelica's eyes widened in surprise at first, his eyes showed a look of remorse, and finally he lowered his head under Mama Tang's blazing gaze, and told the whole story: "A few months ago, I overheard the conversation between Aunt Wang and her nephew Wang Xiaoda, I didn't want to hear it, but when I heard them mention my four hundred taels of silver, I couldn't help but listen. It turned out that they opened an underground gambling house in the house, and in addition to my regular meal silver, it seems that they also withheld a lot of people's public meal silver, which was invested in the underground gambling house as gambling money. ”

Mama Tang thought about it, didn't quite believe He Angelica's words, and asked rhetorically, "How is it possible?" If that's the case, why hasn't anyone reported it? ”

He Angelica explained unhurriedly: "They called all the servants and maids who could be called in the house to gamble, even if the other party lost and couldn't pay, they were not afraid that the other party would repay the debt, as long as the other party's share of the public meal was removed from the list of servants, the saved public money would belong to them." And the people who were deducted from the public meal because they held the handle of their gambling money in their hands, and they did not dare to speak out and argue, and after a few months of saving the monthly silver, they would not be able to resist the temptation to gamble, and wanted to turn over and earn back their public meal, and then they were deceived by the dealer who came out of the old man...... I heard these words at that time. ”

After listening to He Angelica's description, Mama Tang suddenly asked with a dark face: "However, since the third lady learned about such a major crime of Wang Qi's family, why didn't she report it to the old lady a few months ago, and only now did she say it?" Do you know how harmful underground gambling houses are? In the early years, when you were not born, our Luodong Mansion caused a big mess because of the gambling money of the subordinates, so our family rules have long prohibited any gambling behavior! Third Miss, you are also a member of the Luo family, since you know this situation, you should report it in time! Now that they have been allowed to open an underground gambling house for a few months, you have come to tell me, are you also suspected of harboring and protecting? ”

"Wronged, grandma, Angelica is wronged!" He Angelica covered his face and cried, "Wronged, how could I shield Aunt Wang and them?" It's not good for me! Not to mention that Aunt Wang built the gambling house in the abandoned cellar behind the West Courtyard, and I couldn't sleep at night, but Aunt Wang was in charge of the kitchen, so that I had nothing to eat and no silver to supply my own small kitchen. So much so that in the end, all the maid mothers in my yard were dissatisfied, and more than a dozen of them transferred to other masters on errands. The three or five maids who couldn't get away were also angry day and night, and they didn't take me as their master at all, and it was difficult to send them back, and I had no choice but to do the big and small work inside and out by myself, carrying water and sprinkling and sweeping, sewing and pulping and washing ......."

"What?!" Mama Tang, who hated Diao slaves the most, was furious when she heard this, "Those bastards, one by one, sold themselves to Luofu to lead Luofu's monthly examples, and even their lives were given by their masters, they dared to bully the master so much!" Conscience is really eaten by dogs! Third Miss, why don't you go to the old lady to complain? ”

He Angelica hung his head and wiped his tears and replied: "I originally wanted to go to the ancestor and tell her that there are not enough people in my courtyard, and ask her to call the shots and transfer the dozen or so maid mothers who left before back to me." But I suddenly heard the remaining maids enviously mention the people who left, saying that they either went to the third uncle's Aunt Mei's side, or went to the second sister's newly acquired Su Mei Courtyard......"

"Su Mei Yuan?" Mama Tang frowned, "When did the second lady occupy the Su Mei Courtyard, I don't know!" ”

In the past few years, the second lady has gradually grown up, with a beautiful and moving appearance, elegant and generous temperament, coupled with her status as the eldest daughter of the second room, anyone can see that her future is limitless, and the second lady can't help but spoil the second lady. In the past few years, just because the second lady shouted that her yard was too small and things could not be stuffed, the second lady allocated many vacant courtyards in Luofu to the second lady in the name of bathing room, study, piano room, dance room, etc.

When the second lady's yard increased to eight, the old lady couldn't help but say to the second lady, if you don't take such a habitual child, in the future, the child will marry someone and go to her husband's house, and there will be a few rooms in one yard, and such a big gap will make her feel wronged, but it is not good for the child.

The second lady immediately called the second lady to pour tea for the old lady and beat her legs, coaxing the old lady to say, as the saying goes, the poor raise a son, the rich raise a daughter, and the daughter should be spoiled. Our sister Qiong is going to enter the palace to serve the emperor in the future, and now she is a twelve-year-old adult, and she has her first period, how many years can our Luofu keep her? How many more years can she live in those yards? Ancestor, you should be a little better to your own granddaughter than a "foreigner", so that the two can be distinguished!

"Foreigner" of course refers to He Angelica. First, He Angelica is a junior of the Luo family. Second, the main mother of Luofu was "two big", and the old man Luo Duzhong married a pair of sisters in Chengdu Chaifu, and the two sisters were both wives, regardless of size. Miss Chai, that is, He Angelica's maternal grandmother and the late old lady, gave birth to Luo Chuanbai and daughter Luo Chuanxiong in a big house; Miss Chai Er, that is, He Angelica's aunt and grandmother, and now the old lady, gave birth to Luo Chuangu in the second room and Luo Chuanpu in the third room.

Although Miss Chai and Miss Chai Er are sisters born to a mother, they also turned their faces in order to compete for their husband's favor back then, and hated each other like enemies. Later, the old man Luo Du Zhong suffered from heart disease and died suddenly, and the two sisters got back together, but in the end, there was an estrangement that could not be eliminated, and they could never go back to the past. Three years ago, the eldest old lady also died of illness, and the old lady became the only direct elder of Luodong Mansion, with a high status, second only to the old lady Luo Maitong, who was above Luodong Mansion, Luoxi Mansion, and Luofu in the capital.

What is strange is that He Angelica's maternal grandmother not only did not love her daughter Luo Chuanxiong, but also threw her granddaughter He Angelica to the farm for foster care as a burden; On the contrary, the old lady who is Aunt Angelica's grandmother should cherish Luo Chuanxiong's mother and daughter more. Although there is still a certain distance compared with the second and third rooms of my aunt's own child, in the cold Luo Mansion where this person walks in the tea and cold, Luo Chuanxiong's mother and daughter, who have lost two close relatives in a row, can still gain a foothold, and they can also share a courtyard to receive a monthly example of the public middle school, and they have not been completely disconnected from the upper-class social circle of the family, relying on the old lady's protective umbrella.

In the previous life, every time the money was divided into things, the two rooms and the third room of the big house would often ignore Luo Chuanxiong's mother and daughter "carelessly", and the old lady would ask more, so that they suddenly remembered it "suddenly". Every time there is a celebrity banquet attended by an old lady, she always remembers to leave a seat for He Angelica in the boudoir to see if there is any lady and son who likes this beautiful girl to inquire about He Angelica's family background or birthday.

Although at every banquet, there are many people who like He Angelica's beautiful face, but there is no one who likes her identity as a concubine and an abandoned daughter, as well as the growth environment since childhood, and then I heard the old lady joke inch by inch, for the sake of the two families are world friends, let my sister Jiayi be a wife to your brother Feng!

After figuring out He Angelica's life experience, the person who was about to retreat immediately opened his mouth and said in his heart, Mrs. Luo is joking! I just married her home as a concubine, and I had to weigh whether there were any disgraceful deeds in the process of growing up on the farm. My brother Feng is going to be the hereditary earl's little lord in the future, yes! I'm just lard blinded, crazy, and ghostly, and I can't agree to such a pit person's family business!

So in the previous life, although the old lady wanted He Angelica to integrate into the social circle of the noble family, and then marry a child of the family as a wife, the glorious family of Luofu and the old lady's respected face could not be gilded with a layer of gold.

After going around and around for more than ten years, until He Angelica was killed in his previous life, she was still the ninth child on the table of the eight immortals, and she still couldn't become a member of the daughter, and she still had to be pointed at by the ancient concubines of Ning Wangfu and scolded "There is a mother and no mother", and countless times she was "raised on a farm in the countryside", "I have seen a lot of filth", but I don't know that the farmers in the farm with their backs to the loess are many times cleaner than these superior people with brocade clothes and jade food. If her infant daughter can grow up, her daughter will still be poked in the backbone and remarkable, and she will still be one level lower than Zhu Quan's other daughters when discussing marriage in the future.

Reborn in this life, He Angelica has already thought about it, no matter what kind of family he marries into in the future, he must not walk into the door of his husband's family with the labels of "concubine" and "abandoned girl" in his previous life. She wants to use her own methods to wash away the stains on her life, and reappear in front of the world with a radiant new face, the He family in the capital failed to give her the status and status, and in time, she will let another family that is a hundred times more noble than the He family give it to her.
