"Although he is still a little kid, I must let him know who's right and who's wrong!"

Lan Zhi slowly sat down with a warm smile on her face. It was clear that she agreed with my words.

The family members who were leaning to the side stiffened their spine and leaned slightly backwards. A trace of fear flashed across their young and tender faces, as if they were afraid that I would reprimand them.

I felt pain under my ribs and pitied the fate of this child. Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that the sudden outbreak of the blood coffin murder had not only harmed his body, but had also damaged his mind. Every time he didn't speak, the gloominess on his face became even more obvious. Such a paranoid expression on a young child's face made him even more terrifying and lamentable.

"Elder sister Lan Zhi gave you medicine for your own good. Otherwise, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly, would you?" I smiled and coaxed him, gently helping him tuck in the quilt that had fallen down.

Jianyi pursed his lips, raised his head and stubbornly stared at me for a long while before he finally replied with a low "En".

Looking at how he was clearly enduring it, I understood in my heart.

I'm afraid that from now on, it will be extremely difficult for me to gain the trust of this child. Ever since he was young, he didn't receive much attention from his own mother, and was even more sensitive and suspicious than his two brothers. It's just that I don't know how to teach a child. I'm clearly trying to help him, but no matter what I do, I don't care. In the past, when I was surrounded by flowers, it was because I was a bit cold and had some sort of friendship with him. But now, this child would definitely feel that I was cold and merciless, not caring about his life or death. He would even secretly guess that I was deliberately using him as bait in order to draw out such a murder.

I stared at the child in front of me, who had a face like spring and eyes like autumn water, and fell into deep thought.

If I had to raise an enemy myself, I wouldn't have the grace to do so. However, it was impossible to push the burden on the child out now. There was no room in front for him to advance or retreat. The only thing he could do now was to maintain his current condition and keep him alive.

Perhaps it was because I was staring at the family, but the room suddenly fell into an awkward silence. Lan Zhi was exceptionally embarrassed. She stood up and curtsied towards me and Jiayi. "This servant originally served others and did a good job of it. How could it match the young miss's oral thoughts? This servant really lifted up this servant." Lan Li also chimed in with a few witty words, and from the beginning to the end, Jianyi had been lying on the ground, looking at me with a pair of sharp eyes that made me feel uneasy. I ate a few bites and then put down my rice bowl.

Lan Lingyun and Lan Zhi both knew the rules, so they hurriedly followed me out to get their wives to come in and clear the table.

Since it was only me and Jia Yi who were in the room, I directly told him about the Gu family's death due to the poison. Surprisingly, he didn't seem sad at all, but after staring blankly for a while, he changed the subject and asked Ying'er and Wen Lian when they would return.

Thinking about it, although the Gu family's actions were a little shaky, they still treated their master wholeheartedly. Even when they were dying, they still talked about this young master they raised themselves. However, it was precisely this person that she was concerned about before she died. When she heard the news of her death, it was already one thing for her to give an indifferent reply.

I also couldn't help but feel sorry for the dead. Although this child used to have a mild temperament and loved and hated others, a trace of a hot-blooded man's anger could still be seen in his chest. Now, he had truly hidden it deep in his heart.

"They were locked up in the yard with my grandmother, and after a few days they were released." Faced with such a lack of heat, I didn't bother to put on a friendly face. I simply said, "You will stay in my courtyard for a few days. When you are better, I will send you back. It just so happens that the two of them can rest for a while and wait until you return before attending to you. "

He just nodded obediently and said a "thank you".

I remembered how, a few days ago, this child had grabbed my skirt with his young hands and laughed and called me "sister." When I taught him a lesson, he would always hide with his face wrinkled. Only after a long time did he finally speak, since when did he become so obedient and polite.

I faintly nodded my head and called Lan Ling to come in.

Lan Bing is such a sharp person. Even though he didn't know what happened between me and his family, he was still keenly aware of the depressing atmosphere. Respectfully curtseying to my home, I helped her change into a moon-white silk cloth behind the screen. I gave Lan the jewelry box, clothes cabinet and storeroom key that Lan Zhi had just given me, and kept the key to the money box in my own purse. Lan Ling carefully hung the key around her neck, as was her custom in my room, and followed me out of the screen.

Jiayi leaned against the headboard with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. I quietly walked over to make a quilt for him, just in time to see his eyelashes twitch.

He didn't want to see me and didn't know what to say, so he pretended to sleep to avoid me.

I can understand the bitterness in his heart, so naturally I won't scold him.

Not only me, but also Lan Li beside me. When she opened her mouth to speak, I shook my head at her and gestured for her to follow me. As I walked under the eaves of the house, Lan Ling looked at me with an expression that seemed like she wanted to say something but didn't. After holding back for a long time, she finally said, "I think young master is still young and doesn't understand.

Jiayi had a sweet mouth, especially towards the big and honorable maidservants in my courtyard. As soon as they saw me, they would constantly call out "elder sister". The maidservants also naturally liked this young master who had an outstanding appearance and a cheerful temperament. Not to mention that this child had a pitiful background, just like the maidservants of the Green Khora race. They felt even more pity for him.

I smiled and nodded at her. "I know what I'm doing. You don't need to say anymore."

Lan Ling knew that I had made up my mind to go back on the bridge with this child. Although not a single thread was missing from his body, he definitely wouldn't be the same as before, carefully teaching others how to dig out their lungs. He couldn't help but reveal a dejected expression on his face as he stared at me with a hint of desire in his eyes.

I didn't look at her. I just stared at the empty space in front of me, the orange light floating around in the shadow of the lamp. I whispered, "You know my rules."

Even though I died horribly in my previous life, I never gave up hope for this world.

The world had never been clean and clean, but it was never dirty. The Yin has the Yang, the Yang has the Yin, it is the true state of the world. If he completely denied it just because of the experiences from his previous life and decided that there was not a single good person in this world, it would be no different from choking on food. Alone and alone, even if one was rich, in the end, one would have no interest in anything.

However, trusting others in an all-round way is absolutely impossible for me. I can only do my best to protect everyone around me and give them the greatest amount of trust.

One mispayment of this kind of trust was enough to kill him. As a result, the broken mirror can't be reconstructed. Once I take the blame, I will no longer trust this person.

From the dead mother to the grandmother who once used me, to the one who hated my child in secret today, I stubbornly followed my principles and never wavered a single step.

Lan Li pursed her lips, knowing that it was useless to say anything else. She changed the subject. "Lan Zhi has packed her things. I sent some mums to help her carry the boxes. They're waiting for you in the room now. Lan Zhi is drinking tea with them."

"Then let's go!" I tightened the cloak on my body and instructed Lan Ling, "It's been a long day. Come back early and we can take a rest."

Lan Ling answered me in a low voice and followed me to the gatehouse. Lan Zhi had already brought her mother to the gate, and when Lan Li helped me out, she quickly led her mother to salute and accompany Lan Jun to the left and right to accompany me to Aunt Chen's courtyard.

Lady Chen had received the letter long ago, and was waiting for me behind the curtains of the brocade door, with her eight months of age and supported by the maidservants.

"Miss."

Seeing me walk in, Aunt Chen's expression was respectful and serious. There was a faint trace of fear on her face as she knelt down with great difficulty towards me.

Without waiting for my orders, Lan Ling and Lan Zhi had already taken a step forward. Before she could bend down, they had already helped her up. So I took the opportunity to hold her hand and said, "Aunt, don't be so polite! You are not an ordinary person right now. If something were to go wrong, wouldn't it be painful for Father to death?! "

Aunt Chen shyly smiled and slightly leaned over to invite me in. I half supported Aunt Chen as we sat on the brick bed. Lady Chen whispered with a smile as she personally poured a cup of tea and served it to me. She said with a smile, "Although this servant is locked up in this courtyard, I have heard that there have been a lot of troublesome things happening in my house recently. This servant used to be under the care of Miss DuoCheng, but now I can't help her. Since Miss wants to use the Hundred Wood Family, I can just ask her to go. "Miss, I appreciate your kindness. This servant knows that you are lacking manpower, so why don't you bring Miss Lan Zhi back!"

His words were both sincere and proper. I couldn't help but smile as I patted her hand. "Although I'm in a hurry, I definitely can't lack an aunt. Since Aunt knows that our home has not been peaceful recently, you should be careful. "

Seeing that I was serious, Aunt Chen quickly nodded and offered me another cup of tea. "This servant has heard about what happened outside these past few days and only felt my heart thump. Seeing that it's about to be the day of the next round, I wouldn't dare to walk around blindly! "

I smiled and nodded. I nibbled on my tea and replied, "This is what I should do." When Lan Zhi was called up to pay her respects to Lady Chen, Lady Chen leaned her body forward and nodded with a slight smile. Her attitude was very humble and gentle. She also ordered a maidservant to reward Lan Zhi with an 80% silver nude. I sat and chatted with Aunt Chen for a while, drank a cup of tea, and carefully instructed her to be careful in everything and not to let her be careless. After sending Aunt Chen and Lan Zhi to the door, I led Lan Lan and the other servants out.

Arriving at the entrance to the courtyard, he met the young maid, Xiang'er, who was boiling water in Aunt Chen's tea room.

"Halt!"

Lan Li was not only my head maid, but also the head maid of the Mansion. In theory, everyone had to listen to Lan Zhi. On top of that, the young maid was also frightened stiff by the fact that she was usually serious and had quite the reputation. She immediately kneeled on the ground and started crying without caring about anything else.

"What are you doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

"I... I … Oh, no, servant … This servant didn't do anything … But … Aunt … I don't have any firewood, so I need to use some water to wash my feet, so … This servant will go to the kitchen in front … "Lend me the firewood …"

Lan Lingyun shot me a look, and looked around at the servants, secretly asking if I should continue to ask in front of everyone.

Looking at the young maid's terrified expression, how could she simply borrow firewood and be caught?

I nodded slightly at her.

His mother's funeral had already caused the servants and wives to panic, and the matter of the blood coffin had caused the people in the inner chamber to panic. Normally, the Flower Hall was silent. Everyone dared to discuss their own matters, but now they have their own policies and countermeasures. Before I could finish my words, discussions start below.

There are no rules, so I was worried that I couldn't find a target and couldn't set the rules. Coincidentally, she knocked on the door, so I took the opportunity to kill the chicken for the monkey to see!

"Borrowing firewood?" "What about your firewood?"

Lan Lingyun swept Xiang'er's empty hands, her voice as cold as a lump of ice.

"I …" "… …"

"Second Wife Feng, Sun'er, you two stay here and watch over her. Bring her back to our courtyard later and interrogate her."

I laughed to myself. If he really wanted to punish her, he could have just found a woodshed and shut her up. Why bother taking her back? It was just to scare her.

As expected, the young maid was intimidated by Lan Li, and her pale face started to wail and cry. She knelt in the snow and kowtowed while crying, "Sister, spare me!" Sister, spare me! I … I … He didn't do anything! That is … That is … Just now, in the hallway … See … See … From the hall in the old lady's courtyard, she was lifted … Two stretchers came out … The top was covered with... "White cloth!"

My heart sank.

At this juncture, the most important thing for Grandmother was not to establish her might, but to buy people's hearts. Since they were already moving out, there was no need for them to make enemies everywhere. Recently, Grandmother had opened the box and often brought out the gadgets inside to reward the servants for their close proximity. This was the meaning of this.

But now I had to bring out two bodies from my grandmother's yard, and I couldn't think of anyone but the three people my grandmother had locked in the side room.

My intuition told me that there wouldn't be any green bandits in there.

Since Grandmother doesn't even want to offend a servant or a servant, she wouldn't take the initiative to provoke me, who can stop her from moving out. "Because I knew what it meant to me to have a bowl of poison bestowed on me, I used my mother's secret support to make a false shot, and even more so, it was impossible to do such a stupid thing at a time when we had come to an agreement.

But often people are not as good as god knows, who knows if grandmother will change her mind temporarily, and I reported the same idea, to capture the first thief, only to use me as a knife!

Lan Ling and I looked at each other, and we could see the faint worry in each other's eyes. Lan Ling cleared her throat, pointed at the trembling Xiang'er who was kneeling on the ground and said,
