Bei Feng blew on the window for a short while before the sound of rustling rain could be heard.

I lay on my bed and sighed at the living sika deer on the bed.

Can he understand me when I work so hard for that child?

He thought for a while and couldn't help laughing to himself.

His family was just a five-year-old child, how could they have imagined that they would come to such a deep understanding? When I was young, I heard the maidservant in my yard say that she would learn how to make needlework from her own mother in the middle of the night. She would slap me on the back of my head if I were to doze off a little, and calluses were often on my hands and thumbs.

And then?

Then I was wrapped up like a gift and sent to the bed of a man old enough to be my father.

I was suddenly surprised.

Since when did I begin to be able to recall the past with such calmness?

The loss of my son, the loss of all my loved ones, seemed to me now as flat as the comb I had placed on the table to comb my hair in the morning, as ordinary as the double butterfly peony I always carried in my sleeve.

The old grudges have gone, and there is a misty memory in my head.

I smiled wryly to myself.

Am I too forgetful, or is time really a good medicine?

For a while, his mind was full of twists and turns, and he had actually put aside the matter of family justice.

Fine!

It would be a bit boring if a person had a foundation in the world and sought rewards for everything.

As long as the family can get married in the future, the joy of life, even if he forgot me this sister, it is also not a big deal.

In the midst of the fog, I actually saw a man who looked like Xiao Weiyi leading a little girl through the streets. The little girl had a pair of black and white eyes that were as clear and bright as a pool of black and silver that had been raised in white dew. Instinctively, I felt like the man was a family member. I reached out to greet them, but he just took the kid and disappeared around the corner. Just as I was about to give chase, Lan Li's voice suddenly came into my ears:

"Miss! "Miss!"

A warm face appeared at the head of my bed. The soft light from the bed made her seem very quiet.

The sound of dripping rain came from outside.

"Miss, Young Master Yi wants to see you!"

I poked my head out of the tent and saw that it was a quarter to ten.

"Did he go to the outer court?"

I propped myself up from the bed. Lan Lingyun hurriedly took a white brocade jacket from the rack on one side and draped it over my shoulders.

The cool night wind blew in through the window, making the candles on the table sway.

"He went!" Lan Lingyun helped me fasten the buttons on one side: "Big sister Lu Kui accompanied you!"

"Did Old Woman Ma not sleep at this time?"

I took the cup of tea from Lan Yu and rinsed my mouth. When I heard that the family had apologized, I couldn't help but be surprised. For a moment, I forgot to spit out the tea from my mouth.

"Mom knows. Tell the young master to apologize. The lights in the room are still on!" Lan Li held the big spittoon in her hands and said with a smile, "I heard from Big Sister Lu Kuo that when they went to the school, Mom was working with her daughter-in-law on needlework!"

"Now we owe that Ma Clan a favor!"

I laughed and wiped my mouth with the handkerchief and joked.

After packing up, I led the Rookie out of the house.

A small figure was standing in the middle of the hall with his head down.

I sighed and walked over quickly.

Although I felt sorry for this child's hard work in kneeling, I had a faint hope that he would be able to persevere on.

If there really was such a tough nut to crack, then even if he was a bit arrogant, he might still be able to make it out of this world.

It is a pity that it is just a dream of mine in the end.

I went up to touch his hair and actually touched the water on his hand.

I reached for his clothes.

It was actually dry!

"Why is my hair so wet?"

The servants behind him were completely silent. Not a single one of them came forward to answer. After a moment of silence, the wet nurse, Madam Gu, tremblingly walked out and knelt on the ground at my feet. She said with a trembling voice, "To reply Miss, the rain outside was too heavy. It couldn't hold the umbrella, so Young Master was drenched."

There were no green bandits, no Wen Lian, and no Ying'er among those who followed in the righteousness of the family.

"Where are the second young master's maidservants?"

"I …" was called away by Miss Hong Chang who was beside the old lady.

The Gu family was scared out of their wits by me. They kneeled on the ground, shaking their bodies.

I never wanted to hide it from my grandmother.

Is there anything worth Grandmother's calling away all the maidservants by my side?

I couldn't figure it out.

Obviously, Lan Li was talking to me about the Green Bandits just now.

It could be seen that it would only take a short while for these three girls to be called away.

I had to suppress my doubts.

"You know your wrongs and can correct them, well done!"

I smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder.

Even though it was dark outside and the lights in the house were dim, I could feel that my family was extremely pale.

"What happened to Second Young Master?"

"Yes …" There's a ghost! "

Suddenly, the Gu Clan could no longer hold it in and burst into tears.

I was startled by her loud cry. I turned my head and saw that Jia Yi was standing shakily and shakily. My eyes were about to fall to the ground.

I reached out to help him up.

"What nonsense is this!"

Remembering the incident where Lady Chen caused trouble for the ghosts, my face couldn't help but darken. I shouted at Madame Gu, "Stop spouting nonsense! The ancestral hall is for our ancestors, where did this come from? "

I shot a look back at Lan.

"Sisters, please come with me to the house and change into a warm cup of tea."

Lan Ling understood what I meant, and smiled as she asked the servants behind her to leave.

This was disguised house arrest.

She carefully closed the door for me, leaving only the three of us in the large hall.

I brought the two of them into the inner room, and took out a set of bedclothes from the cabinet that they hadn't worn yet. I also took out a green jacket from the cabinet and handed it over to Madam Gu.

"Help the young master wipe his hair!" Then, I'll change it myself. "

Madam Gu quickly nodded her head in agreement. I took the opportunity to leave the room, sat on the brick bed and poured myself a cup of tea, slowly drinking it.

That is to say, when I was kneeling in front of the ancestral hall, he caused a ruckus. He must have been scared, and the servants didn't dare to disobey my orders. They didn't go over to Ma Nu's place to apologize, so he had no choice but to go to the outer court to apologize in accordance to my request before rushing over to my place. At this point in time, the green bandit must have been at home with them all the time. Otherwise, Lan Ya wouldn't have been able to reply to me saying 'Miss Green Bandits said so'. Furthermore, she was smiling from head to toe, so it could be seen that she didn't know about this matter of ghosts. In the middle of the room, just after I put on my clothes and combed my hair, the three maidservants by Jia Yi's side were called away by my grandmother, leaving behind only the Gu Clan's leading servants who had no opinions.

I have to say, it was a brilliant move.

It was simple and direct, and Grandmother seemed to have no intention of concealing it. She only wanted to tell me that although she was not the housekeeper, her authority was still there.

"Why didn't you say so when you came in?"

I looked at Gu Shi Shi who was holding onto Yisan's shoulders and sighing.

"Yes …" It was Lady Lu Kui who said … Let me not mention this matter in front of everyone. "

And why did she say it afterwards? It was naturally because Lu Kui was called away, and because of my dignity, she was scared out of her wits by me and didn't dare to lie to me.

Grandmother's really a wise move!

The situation forced me to dispose of a servant woman who had heard the word "haunted" in this room.

My mother had just disappeared. I punished my young second brother to go to the ancestral hall to kneel, and my mother's coffin was still there when it started causing a ruckus.

In the eyes of outsiders, when my mother died, my grandmother fell ill, and the whole family fell into my hands. The only one who truly benefited was me, the young miss of the Yang family!

It was very clear who her mother had died to.

At this moment, his grandmother had already captured three maidservants who knew the inside information. Although it was an interrogation, it wouldn't be impossible for her to be killed on the spot.

At that time, I won't be able to explain myself!

At that time, my housekeeper's power would definitely be weakened. Even if my grandmother wanted to leave home with two hundred thousand taels of silver, no one would be able to stop her. Taking advantage of my weakness, the people around Grandmother would be tempted to follow her out of the manor. The power that I had given out would no longer be retracted!

And the only way I could prevent that was to obey my grandmother.

Grandmother could also achieve her own goals.

The trap after trap was clearly seen by the person in the middle, yet he couldn't break free.

He could only make the first move and save the three girls, then slowly figure out a way to suppress them.

"Tell me about it."

Towards a person like the Gu family, although I was angry at them for not fighting over their misfortune, I couldn't really blame her.

The heavens gave her a weak personality, how could my manpower be able to reverse it?

Sighing, I pointed at the brick bed opposite mine. Mrs. Gu didn't dare to sit on the brick bed. She placed her feet on the floor and sat on it.

"I was staying at the ancestral hall with young master. Young master had been kneeling for a whole day and didn't eat a single mouthful. At that time, his face was very pale and his body was shaking."

After saying that, the Gu Clan member's face reddened and she secretly glanced at me.

'Just thinking about it … ' For the Young Master to lean on a servant, it would at least save the Young Master a bit of effort. "

I smiled and nodded at her, and without reproach poured her a cup of hot tea.

The Gu family hurriedly bowed and accepted the teacup, but they didn't dare to drink it in front of me. They only held it in their hands as they stuttered as they spoke:

"This servant goes forward. Just as I knelt down, I saw …" See... Inside Madame's coffin... Bleed out... The servant was so frightened that she cried out, and then, suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the doors and windows of the ancestral hall, and the cool wind blew in like it was being swept up. Then Lady Lu Kou came over and dragged me out of the room, and asked me what was the matter, and the servant said, Lady Lu Kou told me to keep quiet, but the servant did not dare to go over and kneel down, and Miss Lu Kou went to say a few words to Lady Wen Lian and Lady Ying, and the two girls went to the two young masters' sides and knelt down. "Later on, when Lady Lu Kui came back, she said a few words to Young Master before taking Young Master to Ma Dong's place in the outer courtyard."

I was shocked.

The coffin was bleeding?

How was this possible?

His mother had hanged herself without a single wound, so how could she bleed?

Furthermore, since Jia Yi was escorted to the outer court by them, why was it that his hair was wet, while his clothes didn't have the slightest trace of water?

Usually when it rains, holding an umbrella, the clothes and hair that get wet are the clothes and not the hair that should be covered by the umbrella.

"While I was kneeling there, Big Sister Lu Kuo told me: 'Danger, quickly go find Miss!'"

Jiayi's voice was very weak, but her eyes were very bright. She had said exactly what I wanted to ask her.

"After that, Sister Lu Kuo tried to persuade me to admit my wrongs in front of the crowd. I nodded in agreement, and Sister Lu Kuo offered to help me to go to the side room and change my clothes. "After entering the house, Sister Lu Kui said that it might be dangerous outside, but Manager Zhou would come to pick me up later. She told me to wait under the bed, but other than Manager Zhou, no one else was allowed to get up."

Chief Steward Zhou was the brother of Lu Kui, Zhou Baumu.

When Mother Gu heard these words, she turned pale with fright. Her hands trembled as she said:

"How is this possible? "Your servant clearly sent you to the outer courtyard, right?"

Looking at the Gu Clan's expression, it didn't seem like they were faking it.

It could be seen that the Green Bandits had used quite a good method of deceiving others.

Then everything makes sense.

It was likely that Lu Kui had thought of a way to send Yi's family into the inner courtyard in disguise. As for the inner court disciples, the ones that they had the most of were the little girl, and most likely, the green bandits had already snuck him into the little girl's group.

In addition, his wife was working in Aunt Chen's room. Recently, Aunt Chen had arrived, and I was staying in the inner courtyard day and night to accompany her, so I didn't go back to the outer courtyard at night. As a result, in the recent days, Zhou Baumu would enter the inner chamber early. First, he would send his wife Zhou's cooking, and then he would wait to go to the outer courtyard with Jia Cheng.

Although it was still early, but amongst all the people that the Green Bandits could find, her brother was probably the best choice.

"Later on, Zhou Hundred Wood disguised you as a servant girl and brought you into the inner court. Afterwards, he even 'swapped' you with the 'you' that the Green Bandits brought back, right?"

Jia Yi slowly nodded his head, "Steward Zhou, please change me back into the clothes that big sister sent over this afternoon and cover me with a cloak. Big Sister Lu Kui brought Xing'er from my yard, and we wore the same cloak. Big Sister Lu Kui exchanged Xing'er and me at the corner of the corridor with Supervisor Zhou, and then brought me into Big Sister's courtyard. "

There are three or four hidden guards sent by King Qi lurking by my side, but only Green Buccaneer and Lan Li know about it.

Zhou Baumu was waiting with his family to the wall of the corridor that connected my courtyard to the corridor. He must have received instructions from the Green Bandits.

Then, what kind of danger did the Lu Kui see? Why did he impatiently send his family to a place the dark guards could take care of, and then painstakingly put on such a show?

The Gu Clan members had their jaws dropped in shock as they sat on their feet, speechless.
