At noon on the second day.

When Lin Yi'an was still taking a nap on the couch, the sprinkler outside said loudly: "Miss Six, Miss Five is here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the blue curtain of the warm pavilion rolled up a corner, and a gust of wind brought a trace of wind and snow outside the house. A beautiful girl walked from behind the Liujiao Shuangwan flower screen, with a long white and brown jacket with okra green makeup, and walked to the round stool next to the bed and sat down with a smile.

"Yesterday, I heard that my sister woke up, and I thought I wanted to rest more during my illness, so I came to see my sister at noon today. Now I see that I am abrupt and disturb my sister's nap. Lin Yuzhu was a little apologetic.

Lin Yi'an smiled faintly: "With my illness, only the fifth sister is willing to come to see me." How can there be an abrupt statement? ”

Lin Yuzhu patted the back of Lin Yi'an's hand and said with a smile: "It's not easy for us to have a lot of concubines, so naturally we have to take care of each other." ”

"My sister is right. It's just that my aunt went, and I inevitably felt lonely. Now that Aunt Liu is still here, Lin Yi'an looks at her sister and feels envious. Annoying sister to bring a good message to Aunt Liu for Lin Yi'an. ”

mentioned his biological mother, the light in Lin Yuzhu's eyes dimmed a lot: "The eldest lady doesn't like us to be close to my aunt, and I am not filial, the last time I saw my aunt was at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet half a year ago." However, I often bring letters to my aunt, and my aunt says that she is all right, and I am also relieved. ”

"After the New Year, my sister will be fifteen. After the sixteenth coming-of-age ceremony, Aunt Liu is still thinking about saying goodbye to you, so naturally everything is fine! ”

If you joke, the speaker has no intention of listening to the heart. After all, she is the biological mother, Lin Yi'an reminded Lin Yuzhu in one sentence, as a mother, she is always thinking about her children, and her daughter's marriage is in the hands of the Li family.

With something to worry about, Lin Yuzhu sat absentmindedly for a while and then got up to say goodbye. Returning to his meditation garden, Lin Yuzhu instructed the maid Qingfeng with a serious expression: "After nightfall, you go to your aunt's courtyard to take a look." ”

Finally, he shook his head again, "That's it, I'll go and see it myself to be at ease." ”

Winter nights always come early. When the faint moonlight penetrated the scroll on the desk through the window, Lin Yi'an walked to the desk and sat down in a crescent white cloak. Slender fingers glided over the flat pages, and when she was a child, her brother liked to hold her on his lap and teach her to read one by one. It's a pity that three years ago, my brother disappeared with the carriage that fell off the cliff.

I still remember that before getting in the car that day, my brother touched her double bun and said, "Jiao Niang, my brother will definitely make a name for himself and protect you well." ”

It won't be long, brother, and I'll find you. Lin Yi'an muttered.

The lights were flickering, and at night, Lin Yuzhu put on a cloak and carefully bypassed the long winding corridor to Aunt Liu's small courtyard. The courtyard is still the same as before, but the withered smell emanating from the inside out can't even hide the cold winter night.

Lin Yuzhu's heart sank, and he groped forward by the faint candlelight in the corridor. It wasn't until I heard a violent cough inside that it stopped abruptly. The cough was hoarse and low, accompanied by a low sobbing sound.

"Auntie, drink saliva." This is Fang's mother's voice.

coughed for a long time before Aunt Liu's weak and hoarse voice came: "Mother Fang, my time is numbered, my son has been promoted by his father, there is nothing to worry about, the only thing I can't let go of is my Yu Niang...... cough cough cough ...... If I do go, please help me take care of her, and at least ask the eldest lady to find her a good home......"

"My aunt is sick and confused, how can the old slaves have room for the affairs of the young ladies." Fang's mother said helplessly.

"If it really comes to that day, I will go and beg the old lady, my jade lady, I can't suffer. In this life, I am not angry, and being a concubine has caused many grievances for their brothers and sisters. But, I hope that the eldest lady can see that I am retreating step by step, and promise Yu Niang a good family affair, and it will not be in vain for me to drag this half-dead body to survive for more than half a year! Then there was another cough.

Mother Fang persuaded Aunt Liu while comforting her: "Aunt is sick like this, in the end, she should also inform Miss Five." If one day...... The old slave was afraid that Miss Fifth would not be able to stand it. ”

"Don't talk too much, if Yu Niang knows, I'm afraid she will offend the eldest lady. Why bother to give her so many troubles in an already bad life. ”

Lin Yuzhu covered his mouth, forcibly held back not to make a sound, and left two lines of tears, only feeling hatred, anger and fear in his heart. I hate the harsh treatment of the eldest lady, and I am angry at Aunt Liu's concealment, and I am even more afraid that Aunt Liu will take the old path of Aunt Wen.

She wiped away a handful of tears and turned away.
