Chapter 148: Old Men Appear One After Another
The old woman stood in the courtyard, looked at Li Mei and said with a little sadness, "After you disappeared, this courtyard has been empty. Now that you're back, the yard finally has an owner."
Li Mei glanced at the courtyard, and her eyes slowly reddened.
Bei Yutian entered the courtyard silently, wiped his hand on the doors and windows, and immediately covered it with mud, and showed his dirty fingers in front of everyone: "Well, it is indeed always empty, otherwise there would not be so much dust. It seems that not even a single subordinate has ever been here."
Hearing Bei Yutian's words, Li Mei was stunned for a moment, the sadness in her eyes slowly disappeared, and the corners of her mouth showed a touch of self-deprecation: "Yes, when this courtyard was given to me to live in, it was extremely remote, and I only had a little maid to serve me. Later, the little maid was asked to leave, and I was the only one left. If I don't see him again, won't anyone come?"
Seeing Li Mei wake up from her memories, Bei Yutian breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he noticed a cold gaze falling on him. Intuitively, Pei Yutian looked at the old woman, and sure enough, that gaze was hers.
Bei Yutian slightly hooked the corners of his lips, with a provocation in his eyes, and said secretly: Old woman, play the emotional card with your mother, don't think about it.
"If you want to continue to live in this courtyard, I will order my subordinates to clean the courtyard for a few of you to live, which is more than enough." The old woman paused and looked at Li Mei, "If you have a favorite yard, you can also tell your grandmother."
Li Mei shook her head: "No need, let's make things clear." With that, we'll leave."
"Huh!" The old woman looked dignified, "Leave? Why, you still want to leave?"
Li Mei lowered her eyes, and she didn't dare to look at the old woman.
Sensing Li Mei's fear of the old woman, Bei Yutian blocked the old woman's sight with his body, protected Li Mei behind him, and said coldly: "Her legs are on my mother's body, she can go wherever she wants, and no one else can say it."
"Your mother?" The old woman looked at Bei Yutian with a pair of sharp eyes, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"Bei Yutian."
The old woman nodded, "Oda, do you know who I am?"
Bei Yutian shook his head, indifferent: "I don't know."
"By seniority, you should call me a great grandmother."
"Oh!"
Bei Yutian replied lightly, looking at the old woman, without the slightest intention of calling people.
The old woman pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that she didn't want to scream, she didn't force her, but said slowly, "You live in the Xingyue Inn. Now there are show girls who are going to enter the imperial city, so you should be among the show girls. Oda, you're still young, and you don't understand a lot of things. Do you know that on other days, when you enter the palace and have a good family background, many things will get twice the result with half the effort."
Seeing Li Mei's surprised look, the old woman snorted lightly, "Xiaoshu, you have been gone for so many years, have you forgotten your grandmother's ability?" Do you think that your grandmother is old, and this heart is also old? Although my grandmother does not leave the house, the big and small things in the western capital cannot escape my grandmother's ears and eyes."
Glancing at the proud expression on the old woman's face, Bei Yutian turned around, looked at Li Mei and said softly, "Mother, you don't have to worry, she knows it or not, it doesn't matter to her daughter, you just need to believe in your daughter."
Li Mei raised her head, saw that Bei Yutian had a firm face, couldn't help but calm down, and nodded vigorously.
Seeing that she was no longer worried, Bei Yutian turned to look at the old woman again and replied, "You are very well-informed, but there is one point, you are mistaken. Who told you that I was going to enter the palace? Besides, how can you be sure that I want to stay in the palace?"
As she spoke, a grandmother moved a chair from the house, wiped it clean, and helped the old woman to sit down.
The old woman sat down slowly in her chair and put her hands on the cane in front of her: "Oh! Listen to what you mean, you don't want to enter the palace, or even if you enter the palace, you have a way to get out. Little girl, do you think this palace is too simple? The old man has lived for such an age, and he has never heard that a show girl who has entered the palace can come out. Except, of course, for the palace maids who were released at an old age."
"It's man-made." Bei Yutian didn't raise his eyelids, and responded lazily.
"It's a good thing to be done by people." The old woman tapped her cane, "Your character is much stronger than your mother's, yes, the old body likes it." But ......"
The old woman's tone was stunned, and her eyes looked at Bei Yutian with some intriguing, "What kind of ability do you have to come out of the palace safely?"
Bei Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly: "No comment."
Looking at the old woman's appearance of an old god, Pei Yutian's eyes flashed, and then a thought came to mind: "Old man, are you delaying time?"
From entering the mansion to the present, this old woman first played the emotional card with her mother, and then put on a good family background with the Zheng family, trying to lure herself, but she never asked them about their intentions today.
"Xiaoshu, is that you?"
A woman's voice came from behind her.
Bei Yutian turned around suddenly, and saw a woman in Tsing Yi moving her little feet excitedly, coming to Li Mei's side, opening her arms, as if she wanted to hug Li Mei into her arms.
Without the old woman's answer, Bei Yutian had the answer in his heart.
"Auntie!"
Li Mei looked at the woman, her voice trembling.
However, because Bei Jinshui was beside her, he stretched out his arm and stopped the woman from a meter away.
The woman glanced at Bei Jinshui, and wanted to come closer: "Xiaoshu, it's really good that you're back, you don't know, when you suddenly disappeared, my aunt's heart is like a knife cut, and I don't think about tea and dinner. Where did you go, so my aunt didn't miss it. Woo woo woo ......"..
As she spoke, the woman hid her face and wept bitterly.
Seeing that the woman cried when she said she was crying, the corners of Bei Yutian's eyes couldn't help twitching: Alas, it is said that this Jiangnan woman is made of water, and sure enough, she cries when she says she crys. Looking at this crying appearance, it is estimated that he has also practiced, otherwise how could he look so pitiful.
This is another emotional card, and my mother must not be fooled.
Pei Yutian stared at Li Mei.
Sure enough, Li Mei's eyes flashed at this moment, her hands clenched into fists, and she looked hesitant.
Just now, my mother called her aunt, and then looking at my mother's current appearance, I think this woman should be my mother's biological mother. However, she must be a concubine in this Zheng Mansion.
In this way, my mother is a concubine, and it is no wonder that the yard where my mother used to live was so remote and so barren.
Since she is the biological mother of her mother, she has the grace of giving birth to her mother, and she can't take it lightly, so let's take a look.
Bei Yutian didn't move, just quietly watched how Li Mei was going to respond.
"Auntie, I ......" Li Mei's face was embarrassed, and she didn't seem to know how to explain it.
Seeing Li Mei responding, the woman slowly stopped crying, wiped her tears, hooked her lips and smiled: "It's good for you to come back, it's good to come back." You kid, don't you let go of your sister-in-law, and go and make amends to your brother."
Hearing the woman's words, Li Mei's face instantly became very ugly, and she looked at the woman in disbelief: "Auntie, in your eyes, have you ever had my daughter?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, laughed dryly, and hurriedly replied, "Why not, didn't my aunt hurry over to see you when she heard that you were back?"
"Are you looking at me? I'm afraid I listened to my brother or someone to save Xu Lanruo."
"Of course my aunt came to see you, child. However, if Lan is your sister-in-law, it is not good for you to tie up your sister-in-law like this, listen to your aunt, it is better to let the person go quickly. Anyway, we're all family, aren't we?"
"Family? Hahahaha......" Li Mei laughed wildly, tears of laughter came out, and after a while, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at the woman and said sadly, "You said that you are a family, let me ask, does she treat me as a family, do you treat me as a family?" Does he treat me as a family?"
"Now you're a family with me? At the beginning, when Xu Lanruo tried to frame me and let me marry that scoundrel Li Yin, why didn't she think that she was a good sister to me? Auntie, when you joined forces with Xu Lanruo for the sake of his Zheng Zhen's future, why didn't you think that I was your daughter?"
Li Mei complained again and again, her voice was very calm, but Bei Yu
Tian felt that his heart was dripping blood.
Outsiders, at most, hurt flesh and skin, but family members hurt their hearts.
How sad was my mother's heart back then, so she resolutely left the home where she grew up, and she didn't mention it for so many years.
Bei Yutian couldn't help but step forward and wanted to hug Li Mei and tell her that she still had herself.
Without waiting for her to move, a pair of powerful arms tightly hugged Li Mei into his arms and comforted her.
Seeing the tenderness on Bei Jinshui's face, Bei Yutian stopped stepping forward, and then looked at the woman with cold eyes.
I don't know if the woman was weak-hearted, or she was frightened by Bei Yutian's cold eyes, and she didn't dare to say anything for a while.
"Grandfather, grandmother, it's her, and that person bullies her daughter, you must be the master of your daughter, woo woo woo......
Oh, come to Zhengfu, it's really lively.
Before the matter in front of him was resolved, Bei Yutian heard a slightly familiar voice.
When I looked up, I saw that Miss Zheng, dressed in a white shirt at the moment, was holding a noble older woman in one hand, pinching a handkerchief in the other, covering her mouth, as if crying aggrievedly. Next to him was a dignified man, followed by a group of servants.
The man and the woman looked slightly older than the aunt, but the woman didn't look very different from the aunt.
Bei Yutian looked at the two of them while paying attention to the aunt's reaction.
Seeing that aunt respectfully saluting the woman and the man, I think that the status of those two people is more noble than that of the aunt.
When Zheng Ziyun saw the grandmother sitting in the courtyard, the tears were like beads with broken threads, falling down with a snap, letting go of the person holding the woman, throwing herself into the old woman's knees, hugging the old woman and saying aggrievedly, "Great grandmother, look at Wan'er's face."
As she spoke, Zheng Ziyun angrily pointed at Yanchen and said, "It's Wan'er who he smashed with a tea cup, and her." His hand pointed at Bei Yutian again, "Great grandmother, you quickly ordered someone to tie them up, and Guan'er will teach them a lesson in person."
