Now that I had received my grandmother's permission to speak to me, I just hung my head and stopped talking. I didn't need to sit there and get in the way of others' eyes.

"Miss!" Just as I walked out of the room, I saw Hong Chang standing outside the house smiling, and the moment she saw me, she immediately bent down to greet me, and her movements were fluid, obviously waiting for me for a while.

"Why isn't elder sister going in?" I have always been particularly tolerant of those around my grandmother, and for no reason at all, I would never disgrace them.

"It was the old lady who told me to wait here for Miss, saying that there were some things that were not good for Miss's side, so she asked me to help her run some errands."

Hearing Hong Chang's words, the Lu bandit knew that her grandmother had sent her to help me, and quickly took a step back, allowing me to move out of the way.

Hong Chang was not an unreasonable person, and greeted the two servant girls by my side with a smile, then helped me enter the main house.

After entering the main house, I called mother Song and two other wives in, and ordered Hong Chang: "I am young, and the people by my side might not be able to keep mother down, I have troubled mother to follow big sister Hong Chang over, to say that grandmother has something to discuss with mother."

The four of them were well aware of what happened last night, so naturally, when they saw that I was going to ask them to call their mother over, they knew that there was nothing else they could do, so they hurriedly patted their chests and assured me that they would definitely bring their mother here without revealing anything.

"Miss, why don't we get a few mama to come in, if Madam …" So there's a way to deal with it. "

In fact, I really wanted to call for more people to protect my safety, but I couldn't do that. Although Mama Li was in her mother's yard and was locked in a room, she called her mother over early in the morning as if everything pointed towards her mother. But no matter how he guessed, this was just a private speculation. He couldn't say it out loud. If I had a group of mothers come in to 'listen', the fact that my mother poisoned Aunt Chen would be exposed. I can't just wipe out all the mothers who found out about this afterwards, and if it turns out that one or two of them couldn't stand the temptation of the money to testify, what would be embarrassing would not only be the murder of my mother, but the humiliation of the entire Yang family. It would also cause the children in Aunt Chen's womb to lose their foothold.

When I knew about this child's existence, although I knew that it was due to me, I was somewhat at odds with him. But seeing how difficult it was for this child to not be born yet, in that determination to protect him, there was a sense of pity.

I shook my head and went to change into a lighter set of clothes behind the screen.

It was August, early autumn, and although it was cool in the morning and afternoon, it was very hot at noon. It was very hot in the afternoon, and even when I was sitting in the room, I would sweat.

"Miss, Madam is here!" Before he had finished tying the sash around his waist, the blue light from the orchid tree outside had already spread to the inside.

As expected, footsteps were approaching from afar, gradually approaching. After the curtain was drawn down, a sharp and anxious voice of the mother was heard, "Where's the old lady?"

"Madam, please take a seat!" Hong Chang's voice was still as cold as ever.

"Where did the old lady go?" His mother's voice faded as she sat on the kang over there.

After adjusting the tassels hanging from the scented sachet at my waist, I took a deep breath and went out the door.

"Greetings, mother!" I bow deeply, the smile on my face deepening bit by bit.

Looking at the expression on my mother's face, I could tell how disdainful she was towards me. She gave me a slight nod with her nose facing the sky, unwilling to even say a single word to me.

Seeing my mother's proud expression, I couldn't help but smile. Could it be that in front of this respectful and serious mother of mine, I am not even comparable to a servant? And when I think about what I'm going to say to my mother, I feel sorry for my grandmother. How does it feel to see a woman who has been raised for twelve years being exposed to her trusted mother in front of her own daughter?

"Mother, Grandmother has been feeling a bit uncomfortable recently, but there is one matter that is very urgent. Grandmother saw that I was quite diligent recently, so she handed the matter over to me. But I'm still young and inexperienced, so I want to ask Mother how should I handle this kind of thing?"

Twisting the hem of my shirt, I saw my mother's face change from impatience to surprise, from surprise to joy, and finally to calm down. I couldn't hide the joy in the corners of my eyes as I asked, "What do you want to say?"

I smiled bitterly. With my mother's brain, it wasn't easy to come up with such a devious plan to harm Aunt Chen. With this kind of scheme, how could I fall into her hands in my previous life?

"Mother, don't worry. We'll have to consider this matter over the long term. I can only trouble you to accompany me to my room." I straightened my clothes and got up to lead my mother to the next room. Mother paused on the brick bed for a moment and followed me. Only Mother Feng, who was standing next to me, moved her face away from me. She quickly grabbed Mother's arm and whispered a few words into her ear.

Originally, my mother had already planned to travel with me. Now, with only these words from my mother, she actually stood on top of her black pedestal and looked at me hesitantly. At this moment, I was unsure whether I should go with her or listen to her words.

"Mother, if you are afraid that there will be no one by your side to attend to you, please let mother Feng go with you!" I faintly smiled and didn't think much of it as I glanced at mother Feng.

Even with his mother's intelligence, he still had to tell her everything when he returned. Moreover, this mother Feng was originally a part of the plot. Perhaps she was also the designer, so there was no need to avoid her.

These words seemed to put my mother at ease. She shook Mother Feng's hand by her side and, supported by the maidservants along the way, followed me in small steps to the room.

"How is your grandmother?" My humble request seemed to make my mother in a good mood. She actually chatted with me on the way back.

"Grandmother has been taking care of Aunt Chen with her clothes on. She has lost a lot of weight and is in a bad mood." The matter of being injured flashed through my mind, but I kept it to myself, depending on whether my mother knew about it or not.

Grandmother's courtyard was under my watchful gaze. If it was like this, and my mother still knew about what had happened here, it was naturally due to my inner circle. According to what that Mama Li said, the one who dressed up as a ghost should be in the courtyard, but I had already checked the staff list in Grandmother's room that night. Other than a mother who took a leave of absence before her daughter's marriage, there was no one else. As for the mother, she was still at her hometown in ChangShun County, accompanying the girl she wanted to marry.

In such a situation, I was really at a loss. I didn't know where to start.

So this morning he had not quietly called his mother over to confront her, but to lure her out of her cave. As long as that person thinks that we are going to secretly suppress this matter, even a cautious person would probably relax a little in such an environment. As long as there are any clues, I can follow them.

"Your grandmother has always been a fussy person!" Mother smiled coldly and nodded. She said a few words that were neither hot nor cold. She ignored me and pushed open the door of the room.

Inside, Mama Li was kneeling quietly on the floor, the sunlight shining through the windowsill onto her white, silver hair. When she raised her head and flashed a smile at my mother, I was stunned for a moment.

"You … You … Why are you here! " His mother stared at him with her eyes wide open. She was stunned for a long while before she finally asked this question.

There was surprise, confusion, and anger in her tone!

What was going on?

I thought that when my mother saw Mama Li, even if she didn't show any anger on her face, she would be flustered at her words. But the truth was completely different from what I had expected.

"Go, get that thing out of Mama Li's mouth!" "Let her speak to her mother!" I said to the Rooster standing behind me with a frown.

Since there was one person who hadn't told the truth, he might as well let them tear it apart themselves!

As soon as she took the towel from her mouth, two clear tears rolled down her face. Although her body was tied up, she crawled on the ground and squirmed a few steps forward, as if she would only be at ease if she was closer to her master. The moment he opened his mouth, he burst into tears and said, "Madam, I did as you instructed. You have to save me!"

His mother's beautiful face immediately paled. She pointed at Mama Li who was half-kneeling and half-lying in front of her with her eyes wide open, unable to say anything for a long time. "What? What? What did you say? You... You … What did you say? I … I … What did I tell you?! "

"Madam, things have come to this point, don't keep it a secret!" Mama Li could actually bang her head against the ground, muttering, "Please save me!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Seeing her mother in a daze, her mother took a step forward, pointed at the ball on the ground and berated loudly, "When has Madam ever instructed you to do anything?!"

"Sister, how would you know!" Mother Li was crying, but her hands were tied and her face was covered with tears. She said in a teary voice, "The other day Madam called me into her room and told me to sell the pill to Aunt Chen. She said that she didn't have any children, and if she had a brother, she would raise him at the knee, and if she had a sister, she would be punished by the Old Granny. This medicine is from a famous family, it only hurts the mind of the lord, not the fetus. In the future, you can sell it to Aunt Chen every month for ten pills, and by the end of the month, you'll definitely be able to accomplish something! "

"You're lying!" Although Mama Li couldn't move, she could walk freely. When she finally regained her senses, she jumped up from her chair and rushed to Mama Li in a few steps. She raised her fist and punched her in the face, "I was clearly asking you how to protect your fetus that day. When did I give you some Reincarnation Pill?"

Mother Li raised her face and took a few punches from her mother, but her mother was a female servant, so she was not strong in the beginning, but today, her body was weak. She did not seem to be able to breathe, and could only stare at mother Li whose forehead and eyes were all green and black while blushing: "You mischievous slave, when did I tell you about this?! If I were to raise a child, I would raise it, so why would I need to go through so much trouble! "

These words were really what his mother was thinking. She was the wife of her father's wife, and regardless of whether he was born directly into the family, she was still her child in name. If she wanted to carry her into the house, no one would be able to stop her. However, grandma was in control right now. As long as she considered this family's future, there was no way she could hand her child over to her mother for upbringing. There was no place for her mother to set her foot on in this' why would it be so troublesome '!

"Madam, how can you do this!" Mother Li who was kneeling on the ground seemed to be extremely shocked by her mother's words, and tears rolled down from her eyes: "At that time, madam promised me that you, your servant, would definitely save your life! What's more, that medicine is so expensive, how could people like us be able to afford it? This servant's room still has 30 pills left! "

His mother became even angrier after hearing what his mother said. Her chest was moving up and down, and her breathing was obviously unstable. When she stood up and wanted to hit her, she actually shook three times. If it wasn't for her mother quickly supporting her, she would have already fallen to the ground. Even so, she still leaned on her mother and said bitterly: "You are lying! Nonsense! Search! Search! Go to her room and search! "

"Go get Mother a cup of tea!" Seeing that my mother was in a bad mood, I quickly turned my head to Lan Li and instructed her, "I want chrysanthemum tea. Add some cassia seeds and focus on calming my breathing."

If that person hasn't been lured out yet, my mother would have fainted first. I can't just lock her in here, wouldn't that be like beating the grass and alerting the snake?

After Mother drank the tea and steadied her spirit for a moment, I coldly asked Mother Li who was lying on the ground in a heap of dust, "It's not a small crime to frame Master, you have to think carefully! I'll ask you one last time, what's going on? "

"Your servant's words are true!" Mother Li cried as she laid on the ground, "Since the matter has already come to this, I only ask Miss to help this servant. This servant is willing to die!"

"You …!" Her mother was so angry that her hands were shaking. The tea that she had yet to drink splashed on her — she was still unaware of it. "I usually treat you well. Who told you to frame me like that?"

"Madam!" Mommy Li's hair was a mess. At the moment, there was a lot of dust on her hair, which was hanging in front of her face. She was neither human nor ghost, kneeling in front of her mother with a smile, as if she was a ghost who was trying to steal her life: "If you don't do something shameful, don't be afraid of the devil knocking on the door! That's what you did to me in the end! "

Not only did his mother not show any fear, she became even more furious. She threw the teacup on top of her and immediately kicked the servant three or four times, causing her mother to groan and shout, "I told you to speak nonsense! I told you to speak nonsense! "
