"Aunt, I respect your decency. If it's like this, I'll just pretend I've never heard of it. Please go back and rest!"

Looking at her flushed face in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh as she gazed at the kite flying in the sky while laughing happily.

Although I wanted to tell him that his mother loved him and even avenged him at all costs, I didn't want him to know about the inner chamber's devious tricks.

"Miss, you know that I'm not a hypocrite!"

Aunt Mo sipped a cup of tea in front of her and shared my admiration for the children's autumn play.

"I've already said that I will protect my family's justice. What's the point of you doing this?"

No matter who the mother is, the child is innocent, and I feel sorry for the child who died early in the mother's womb.

Aunt Mo smiled slowly and took a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the corners of her lips.

"It's just a convenience for him. If my concubine didn't come this time, you wouldn't be able to trust my abilities, right?"

I know where Jiayi's stubborn temper comes from.

He clearly cared deeply about his son, but he still wanted to put on a brave front.

"Madam, in order to kill off your concubine's temper, you called her over to keep watch. As a servant woman, it was only right for me to keep watch. However, Madam was extremely anxious. In order to pamper me, she rolled onto the bed with Master. However, Master was unable to smell the nutmeg on me, and was moved for a moment … "

Upon hearing the truth, he couldn't help but be astounded.

It was like lifting a stone and smashing his own foot.

In order to win her husband's heart in front of a concubine and not tell him that she was pregnant, but the heavens were not on her side, and she lost her child because of such a thing. It was no wonder that Grandmother had kept the news a secret. If news of this spread to the outside world, wouldn't it make people laugh?!

Aunt Mo pursed her lips into a smile. It was a smile that was much more flirtatious than the withering of a child.

Aunt Mo was an intelligent woman. She could not see through her grandmother's intentions of not letting the servants in and out freely, so she naturally understood that things were much quieter than they had been at the moment. The reason why she chose to hand over the information of such a father to me was undoubtedly far-reaching. The inner chamber is already in my hands. If I can control the outside world, then I will be invincible in this house.

In this world, everything was for profit. The world was often filled with profit and gain. I would never believe that Aunt Mo Baba had come here with the risk of offending Grandmother just to say a few words to me.

"Aunt came specially to give me such a nice present even when she was in such a state of panic, but what can I do to help?"

If he was a straightforward person, there was no need for him to hide anything.

"Miss, you are such a transparent person!" Aunt Mo looked at her son who was playing in the distance and smiled, "I was born stupid, so I'm not as capable as Miss. However, the hearts of all the mothers in the world were the same, who could bear to part with their children? "Second Young Master was once a piece of meat on my body, but this child has never been close to me since he was young. Now that he has grown up together with Young Miss, I can finally relax."

It took me a moment to understand what Aunt Mo meant.

So it turned out that not only did she see through it, she was also able to see into the distance.

Now that my mother and I were like fire and water, though my grandmother was still on guard against me, she would never stand on my side again. Even if the mother successfully gave birth to the child, it would be impossible for her to raise it. Grandmother is old and weak, and this child is going to be sent to me for upbringing.

If that's the case, then when this child grew up and knew that his biological mother died in my hands, he would inevitably have thoughts of revenge. Speaking of the Yu Family, I would put more effort into taking only one child. Moreover, if the youngest son is a mother, he could be considered the eldest son. Logically speaking, I should hand the family over to him, not the family's justice.

Aunt Mo was thinking for me as well as her son, but not only did I disapprove of her methods, I was even a little scared.

As a mother herself, she naturally knew what a child meant to a mother. Even if your mother was strong, she shouldn't have killed that tiny bit of life in the bud.

I knew that it was useless to discuss these ethics with her, so I could only sigh and say, "Then I'll thank you very much, Aunt! "Don't worry, if you hand over the family justice to me, don't worry. If he dares to accept anything else, I will definitely let him have the ability to settle down and settle his grudges!"

Aunt Mo sat in front of me and sighed a few times. She looked at her son who was still fooling around before she turned around and left.

Once Aunt Mo left the garden, she immediately quieted down. She handed the big kite in her hands to the maidservants by her side, and under the escort of Lan Li and Wen Lian, she returned to the Fanghua Pavilion where I was.

There were beads of sweat on his head, and I laughed and wiped them off with my handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, he didn't avoid her. Instead, he stared foolishly at the teacup that Aunt Mo had used.

This mother and son pair were so similar. They clearly cared for each other, but they were suspicious of each other. In the end, the people they wanted to get close to just kept going further and further away.

"Auntie has you in her heart!"

Sighing, I took another teacup and poured him a cup of tea.

He accepted my tea without saying a word, his eyes shining like autumn water.

With such a stubborn and reserved personality, he would definitely suffer a loss in the future.

But I wasn't going to tell him.

Firstly, he was still young, so he might not be able to understand the underlying meaning; secondly, he had to stumble over some matters in order to understand. If he did not suffer a loss in a small matter, he might end up suffering.

Many parents think that by relying on their own experience to teach their children what to do and what not to do, they can make the child take fewer detours. However, they do not know that by imperceptibly restraining their child in their own mind, the child will suffer a greater loss in the future.

Life is a path filled with thorns and thorns, if parents always walk in front, holding a long sword in their hands to prevent their children from suffering even a little bit of hardship, one day when they want to let their children fly out, they will discover that the tender and tender child behind them has long grown up and is unable to adapt to life without a parent.

"Since you're tired, let's go back!"

I helped the boy to straighten out his slightly manic hair.

He nodded his head obediently, completely devoid of his usual liveliness and liveliness.

The two of us went to listen to Zhu Xuan's dinner. We saw a thousand stalks of green bamboo outside, graceful and elegant. I was suddenly in a good mood. I drew bamboo for a while before returning to my own courtyard.

That night, I sat on the brick bed and painted a picture. Lan Li brought in a plate of autumn pears and placed them on the table in front of me. She took out her silver hairpin to pick the light in front of me and said with a smile,

"Miss, then guess what?"

I replied without raising my head, "Grandmother has returned to the courtyard?"

"Ah, you are so boring!" Lan Ling pouted in anger.

"Then how do you think the Old Ancestor should deal with this matter?" Not long later, Lan Li regained her spirits and moved closer to the lamp in a mysterious manner. "I bet you won't be able to guess it!"

I really don't know now!

After all, his mother's courtyard was packed with people. How could his grandmother block this rumor? If it was as usual, Grandmother would give them some money so that their mothers could live in retirement, and then send the maidservants to the manor. The mothers were old, and they all knew the seriousness of the situation. Some of the money was for buying life, and in the worst case, it might become a coffin. Sometimes, the young maidservants could not bear the loneliness any longer and would like to talk a little more. When they were sent to the manor, they could not even see a few people.

Sending such a group of people out was no doubt too eye-catching. Furthermore, Xiao Yuanzi must not lack someone to serve.

"I can't guess!"

"You won't even guess!" Lan Ling stomped her feet in anger.

"Stop keeping us in suspense!" The green robber smiled as he urged her on.

"The old lady said that the reason the lady's body is gone is because the person beside her doesn't serve well. She transferred everyone in the room to her and transferred all the servants in her room to her room!"

The two of us looked at each other, neither of us expecting such a result.

It was hard for her to come up with such an idea!

He could pin someone under his nose the moment the news got out, so he could kill them easily if he were to make a mistake. As for his mother, she had changed to her own people, making it difficult for her to say anything about her mother's troubles and grievances.

"Tell the people in our courtyard not to go out much these few days, especially away from the people in these two courtyards."

I was stunned for a moment before I remembered the order.

"Then why don't we ask around?"

I shook my head. "I didn't want it to fall when I took over the house. Not to mention, if he did not do it well, he would lose his reputation. There's no need to care about this matter anymore, just leave it to Grandmother! "

The two maidservants answered in unison, tidying up the needle and thread on the brick bed before resting.

The next morning, after breakfast, I went to pay my respects to my grandmother.

"All of you, accompany Second Young Master out!"

As expected, the servants in the house, other than Mama Du, were all children of the original mother. They all listened to their grandmother's instructions and quickly escorted their family out.

"Go to the Flower Hall and wait for elder sister. You can look for a random account book. I'll come and look for you later!"

I squatted down and gently stroked his back as I instructed him.

I didn't want him to feel alienated.

He looked at his awe-inspiring grandmother, nodded his head with a dull face, then took Lan Li's hand and stepped back.

"This child is much more sensible under your tutelage!"

My grandmother smiled and said a few polite words to me, saying that I had a way with children.

I was a little confused. Ever since then, the mother who I could hold his arm and act like a spoiled child had long since disappeared. Even our ancestors had to say a few words of courtesy like those people in the official market before getting down to business.

"Third Madame went to your place yesterday?"

Grandmother always called Aunt Mo Third Aunt.

"Yes sir!"

I stood on a green brick in front of my grandmother and bowed my head in a respectful manner.

"Then, you seem to know about it?"

Grandmother habitually raised her eyebrows as she stared at me with a strict gaze.

"Yes sir!"

Grandmother's sigh echoed around the room.

"Since you already know, I won't say anymore. "How about I leave this matter to you?"

"Uncle and Aunt have raised me. You can't insult them like this!"

I smiled faintly.

Aunt and Uncle, I can finally say these two names calmly.

For a moment her grandmother was lost in thought, and there was a strange sadness in her face.

"When you have free time, buy ten sets of eight dowries! I need a bunch of girls to be released from my yard in the near future. "

It seemed like grandma wasn't even at ease putting them in the manor. She wanted to marry them off to someone suitable to let them live under her nose for the rest of their lives while trembling in fear.

"Yes sir!"

I still smiled.

"You should find a chance to see Qing Niang!" "She clamored to see you!"

Grandmother had a sardonic smile on her face.

I'm afraid it's not about wanting to see me, but about wanting to kill me.

"Yes sir!"

Maybe it was my flat attitude that annoyed Grandmother, who waved her hand at me wearily, indicating that I should go out and put on my reading glasses and turn over the book of the Book of Magnificence, which was usually on the table.

Secretly amused, I bowed and stepped back.

"Elder sister!"

Jiayi came bounding across the threshold to meet me.

I laughed and patted him on the back and led him by the hand into the parlour.

"Miss!" Lan Lian followed closely behind me and quietly pulled on my sleeve.

"What's wrong?"

Taking advantage of the family's lack of attention, I hurriedly whispered to Lan Li.

"Just now, all the mothers were waiting for you in the house. Some of them came to settle the bill, so Second Young Master sent them off on your behalf."

I was secretly surprised and nodded at him, catching up to the young man in front of me.

"Elder sister, quickly look!" When he realized I was behind, he ran back with a smile and pulled me forward.

In his little heart, he probably didn't realize the inadequacy of handling my family's affairs. Maybe he thought it would lighten my burden and make me smile.

I felt embarrassed that I was about to hurt a pure heart.

Although I was prepared, I was surprised to see that there were only a few mothers left in the crowded parlour.

Those mothers were surprised to see me being dragged in by my family, and they hurriedly squatted down to greet me.

If there's someone else here, how can I discipline my child?

I put those words away peacefully.

It was still not a good time to discuss these things with Yuki. I had to send Yukiko home to the courtyard, and take Lan Lan and Mama Song to see her myself.

It was still daytime, but his mother's room was covered by a heavy tent. Even the air was dirty, making it hard for people to breathe.

The woman lying on the bed was still plump and round, but her face was as pale as a clean lotus without a trace of blood.

I sat down on the small stool in front of the bed and called out to her a few times, but my mother's eyelashes only trembled slightly and she didn't wake up.

The mothers who stood by my side to prevent my mother from injuring me explained in a low voice, laughing: "My wife was not sleeping well these days, so she lit some spices for rest so that my wife could get a good night's sleep."

I calculated in my mind.

How could her mother have slept so soundly? How could she have smelled the spices of rest?

It was unknown how many times he had to drink to calm his mind and sleep so soundly that even if someone were to scream, they wouldn't be able to listen.

Unknowingly, his mother's hair grew luxuriant, and her face was covered with fine lines. The slightly sunken lips were still that of a sharp and stern woman. In order to ensure the health of the fetus, the mother had carefully added nourishment to the baby. Now, her entire body was white as if it had been blown into the air, but her entire body seemed lifeless as it laid on the bed.
