The street in front of Zhou's house is very prosperous, there is a family selling tofu, Ye Lan pulled Liu Zixi to sit on the tofu stall, and one person asked for a bowl of bean curd.

In order to see his younger brother, Liu Zixi was willing to pay for it.

Not long after, a small carriage stopped in front of the Zhou Mansion, and a slightly obese man jumped down from the carriage, Ye Lan fixed his eyes, isn't this the Zhou steward in front of the Tianshi Restaurant that day.

The Zhou family who dared to fall in love with Rui'er that day is this Zhou family.

Ye Lan told Liu Zixi about the incident in front of the restaurant that day, "You see, the Zhou family treats his younger brother very well, and they still bother to choose a scholar for their younger brother." ”

Hearing that his younger brother is doing so well, Liu Zixi is naturally very happy, as long as his younger brother is good, even if he doesn't live together, even if his younger brother doesn't know that there is still his brother, it doesn't matter.

Steward Zhou turned around and hugged a four or five-year-old doll out of the carriage, Ye Lan and Liu Zixi were stunned.

After all, my younger brother should be more than six years old.

"Is this my brother?" Liu Zixi asked in a low voice.

Ye Lan was also unsure, and shook her head: "Maybe my younger brother just looks younger than his peers?" ”

It's not like that.

The woman selling tofu saw Ye Lan and Liu Zixi staring at the carriage, and said to them kindly: "That, it's the little young master of the Zhou Mansion, Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou hurt on the tip of their hearts, but they are blessed." ”

Ye Lan smiled and nodded: "It's a blessing to look at." ”

Then he asked casually: "How old is Young Master Zhou?" ”

"It's going to be more than four years old, it should be about the same."

Ye Lan was shocked, this little boy was not a little son.

"I've met Master Zhou before, I look quite old, and there is a brother in front of the little master."

The woman shook her head: "Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou have not been born for many years, and they only got such a precious son when they are old, how can they have any brothers." ”

Ye Lan's doubts in her heart became more and more intense, she was sure that her predecessor had sold her youngest son to the Zhou family, and the child was sent by her personally, how could there be none.

Liu Zixi couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, so Ye Lan had to hold his hand tightly to comfort him.

The woman selling tofu looked around, deliberately lowered her voice and said to Ye Lan: "Actually, there is one thing that is not considered a secret, we all know that Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou have never had a child, Mrs. Zhou's mother's family is very powerful, and they don't let Master Zhou take a concubine, so they bought a son from outside, but it has been like a jewel for two years, who knows that Mrs. Zhou was happy five years ago, and gave birth to a white and chubby son, who is now the little master." ”

"What about the children you bought?" Ye Lan asked anxiously.

The woman was surprised: "It's strange to say, since the little master was born, I haven't seen the child again, and the Zhou Mansion also said that there is only this one young master, I secretly heard from the people of the Zhou Mansion that the child seems to have been driven away." ”

How so...... Ye Lan held Liu Zixi's hand tightly, angry and annoyed in her heart.

The woman sighed: "Master Zhou is usually kind, but this thing is really not authentic, the child is here to send the child, and if you drive such a young child away, you can't survive." ”

"Zixi!" Ye Lan hurriedly got up and chased Liu Zixi, who rushed into the Zhou Mansion.

The subordinates of the Zhou Mansion stopped them from entering, Ye Lan grabbed Liu Zixi and asked him not to be impulsive, and she said to the subordinates of the Zhou Mansion: "I am Liu Ye from Yonghuai Lane, Zhongchengfang, you go and tell Master Zhou, he naturally knows what I am doing." ”

The two waited in front of the Zhou Mansion for a long time before an elderly grandmother came out and replied: "Our wife said, that child was sent away four years ago, and you don't have to complain, since it was sold to the Zhou family, that is the child of the Zhou family, and it has nothing to do with you, but if you want to find the child, we can also tell you the address in the countryside." ”

Liu Zixi was almost dragged home by Ye Lan, and after coming back, Liu Zixi didn't say a word to Ye Lan.

The younger brother he was worried about was sent away many years ago, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, no matter how big the resentment Liu Zixi has in his heart, Ye Lan can also understand it.

Early the next morning, Liu Zixi disappeared again.

Ye Lan knew that he was going to the countryside to find his younger brother, and the Zhou family didn't bother to send him to a far place, that is, in the countryside around Los Angeles, Ye Lan followed closely.

When she saw Liu Zixi again, she saw Liu Zixi sitting at the entrance of the village in despair.

"Zixi." Ye Lan hurriedly stepped forward: "Have you found your brother?" ”

Liu Zixi raised his head and looked at her with resentment, Ye Lan couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

Liu Zixi stood up slowly, Ye Lan never felt that Liu Zixi had a moment to hate her like now.

"It's you! It's all you! You sold your brother, it's all your fault! ”

"What the hell is wrong, have you found your brother?" Ye Lan couldn't say anything bitter in her heart.

Liu Zixi burst into tears, "They said that my brother disappeared a year ago, and my brother was lost and lost...... He's still so young, how can he live alone......"

Ye Lan patted him on the back and comforted, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to find my brother." ”

"It's all your fault!" Liu Zixi pushed Ye Lan away, and Ye Lan stumbled and fell to the ground, "You said that my brother can live a good life, but what is the result?" After so many years, why don't you go to see your brother when you know where he is? If you can go to Zhou's house early, maybe your brother won't be lost, why don't you go! ”

Because I just came through, Ye Lan had no way to explain, so she could only let Liu Zixi vent her emotions, and after a while, Ye Lan said to him: "I know you're angry with me, and I don't want to defend anything, it's really weird that things are like this...... Me, so let's not waste any more time now, it's important to find my brother first. ”

"Why don't you die?" Liu Zixi's cold words made Ye Lan cold from head to toe.

He said: "You are not worthy of being a mother, you lost all the money in the family, and you started the idea of your brother, and you sold your brother but never looked at him, and you didn't know that your brother was sent away and lost, and now I don't see you half sad." I read well, but you lost all your money and didn't let me read, you ignored me for so many years, I was bullied and you were indifferent, I was hungry and had no food to eat, you never cared, and now you pretend to say that you want to repent? I don't accept it, I'd rather not have a mother like you, why don't you die! ”

Liu Zixi almost finished saying these words, but the anger and grievances that pressed on Ye Lan's heart couldn't be suppressed at this moment.

She inexplicably came over to take over such a mess, and she forced herself to be a mother. She also bears a notoriety that does not belong to her, and endures the indifference and resentment of the people around her every day.

She was also wronged.

Ye Lan slapped him, knowing that he was not wrong, but she still did it.
