"There's only the two of us left for this meeting, what are you trying to hide?"

Sitting on the brick bed, I smiled and gave Lan Li a pinch on the arm. "You little girl, you are really a pampered person. You are getting more and more out of hand!"

Lan Li giggled as she sat on the small Wooden Pellet beneath my feet. Pointing at my waist, she said with a smile, "This really is a good item!"

I raised my eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"Manager Zhou, follow your instructions and take this scented sachet along with the prescription outside for others to see. They are said to be one of a kind, especially used by women with a weak body and cold body to expel poison. One is for internal consumption while the other is for external use, and they can complement each other, helping to preserve one's appearance and prolong one's life! "

I pinched the purse at my waist and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

It was no wonder that the prescription could be written down so easily when the doctor was just asking for his pulse. Obviously, Huang Xiaolong had already arranged for it beforehand.

I thought he was stupid, but he didn't want to have such a clever heart. Knowing that I wouldn't look for him to treat me, I arranged for someone to bring me the prescription in advance.

I stroked the big red tassel that hung under my bag and instructed Lan Lingyun: "From now on, you have to fry a prescription every day and send it over to me."

Lan Li naturally understood the meaning behind those words, and smiled in agreement.

Sure enough, in just a few days, the pimples on my face had all disappeared and my face had turned even redder. Furthermore, with the passing of the month, I felt more and more spirited.

It was a cold spring morning and Lan Li woke me up before I woke up. She put on my clothes hurriedly and smiled, "Miss, Master is back. He will be in the old lady's room." Big Sister Hongyu came over just now and told me to pack up for you.

When I heard Lan Li's words, I lost all of my sleepiness. I snapped out of my stupor and hurriedly put on my own clothes. When they arrived at Grandmother's main house, apart from Aunt Wang, everyone else had already gathered, surrounding Grandmother and Father who were sitting on the brick bed one on each side.

However, after a month had passed, his father's face looked old, his face was covered with wind and frost, and his temples had turned slightly silver. Although he had already washed himself, his face was still filled with an unconcealable tiredness.

I hurried forward to pay my respects.

His father only nodded slightly and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you have been managing the house these few days?"

She looked at me with her sharp eyes.

No, it was more cautious than before.

I respectfully nodded my head and said sorrowfully, "In the month before mother died, I was unable to get out of bed due to a serious illness. I personally handed over all the major and minor matters of the family to me.

There was no one who knew better than his father what kind of illness his mother was suffering from!

The piece of meat that fell from his mother's stomach was a debt he owed her for his entire life. Not to mention in this life and for all eternity, he could not even afford to pay her back!

Aunt Mo, who was standing by the side, rolled her eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything.

My father turned his gaze to Yuki, who was standing next to me.

I had already thought that I would not be able to hide this incident in the mourning hall from my father.

"With mother gone, there will inevitably be some troublesome servants in the family. They might be fishing in troubled waters, or taking advantage of the situation to stir up trouble, but an accident happened. It is fortunate that second brother has the nature to be able to avoid danger in every situation. Perhaps it is because the spirit of mother is blessing us from the heavens, but who knows. "

Father understood that I was hinting at him. If this matter were to be revealed to the public, the most unsightly person would be the head of the family. Even though his expression was extremely ugly, he would only snort coldly and give up.

I smiled.

Life is like this, full of endless helplessness and compromise. However, it is not always me who goes back on my word.

They had breakfast with my grandmother, and my father called me to his study in the inner courtyard.

I thought he was going to reprimand me, but instead I just asked him about my family, my mother's progress in the funeral, the people who came to pay respects, and so on. I hurriedly stood up and replied, "My daughter is young, so she doesn't dare to interfere in the affairs of the outer court. Father asked me, but I didn't know. As for the money coming in and out of the Inner Academy, it is all in my hands. If Father wants to see it, then get all the girls to send the accounts over later! "

When his father heard this, he was stunned for a moment before asking with a confused expression, "How can you hand over the outer court to Mister Lu?"

I faintly smiled and brushed my sleeves. "Since ancient times, there has been a separation between the outside and the inside. Daughter should naturally not interfere in foreign affairs."

Do you think that everyone is like you? No matter what you see, do you want to hold onto it tightly?

Father sighed and said, "Since that's the case, you can keep it! and you don't have to show it to me. "

I responded with a smile and was about to leave when my father suddenly raised his head and said softly, "Wait, I still have something to ask you …"

Even though I was unwilling, I couldn't help but stop in my tracks. With a kind of obedient smile, I stood five steps away from my father's desk.

I thought as I stared at him.

What would he ask me?

Ask me about the blood coffin?

Or do you ask me why my grandmother suddenly made such a ruckus?

"… …"

After waiting for a long time, my father still didn't speak. I raised my eyes and swept a glance over him.

He didn't expect to see him, so he lowered his head and secretly lifted his sleeves to wipe away the tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Your mother... Your aunt, she … When he went there, did he … What message did you leave me? "

I stared at my father, and I couldn't help but laugh.

Only now do I remember that she is your wife? I only remember now, your couple's love in the past?

Too late!

When you secretly took in a concubine outside and had three sons in a row, what were you thinking in your heart when she was thinking of all sorts of ways to give you a child? What were you thinking when you kicked out the child she had been looking forward to for ten years despite her interference? Even when you see her so sick that she can't even get out of bed, which gentle country are you drunk in?

Now that she's gone, are you trying to atone for your sins by pretending to shed a few tears? Are you trying to cleanse yourself of the sin of murdering your wife first and then killing your wife with your own hands?

I coldly smiled and took two steps forward before I bent my knees and said, "Please forgive me father. It was late at night when mother went to my room. My daughter wasn't there to accompany me. I didn't know what she had said when my mother was about to die. However, when my daughter went to visit me before, my mother was delirious and thought that she was pregnant with a child. She would often talk to me about her dreams and occasionally talk about the things that happened before my daughter was born … "

The eyes of the man who supported himself on the elbow shrunk. His face was half filled with sadness, half with panic. It was so funny.

We stared at each other in silence for a long moment. My father waved his hand at me, and I quickly bowed and withdrew.

Not long after returning to the courtyard, Mother Song, who was in charge of the mourning hall, also came back with some people from the courtyard to report to me. I smiled and looked at the people in the courtyard.

Mother Song beamed like a chrysanthemum as she said, "Lady Lu Kui is so fortunate to be able to recuperate at the Old Ancestor's place."

I raised my eyebrows at her.

I haven't even settled the score with her that she recommended someone to the Feng family! She was really lucky to be able to forcibly hit the muzzle of the gun!

I received the tea from Lan Lingyun, and after taking a sip of it, I smiled and said, "Mother has been on duty these past few days, and has not decreased in value. Instead, it has increased. "If mom wants to rest like this, how about I give mom a long vacation and send you to grandma's yard to be her partner for now?"

Then, thinking about it, I smiled and said, "I was wrong about what I said. Mom, you were sent over from Grandmother's courtyard. When we go back, Grandmother might be in a good mood and bring you out with her!"

Then, without waiting for an explanation, I put down the teacup, got up, and went into the inner room.

Since his father had returned, he naturally handed over all matters related to his mother's funeral to Qin Lie. I also enjoyed my leisure. After my afternoon rest, I instructed Lan Bing to call Cui'er, Zhu'er, Gan Sanquan's family, Lu Ming, and Cui'er's mother, who were still locked in my courtyard.

Cui'er and Lu Ming had committed the crime of theft, and according to the family rules, they were sentenced to three months' pay for stealing a golden hairpin. As it was a valuable item, the little girl, Zhu'er, was taken back by her mother and was never allowed to enter the garden; Gan Sanquan's family, which killed people, should have been handed over to the government for punishment, but it also involved Lan Xin. Naturally, we couldn't move her life away to the public.

As for Cui'er's mother and Manager Liu, although the two of them should not have privately accepted the punishment, in the end, it was human nature. As for Cui'er's mother and Manager Liu, although the two of them should not have privately accepted the punishment, but in the end, it was human nature to do so. In addition, I hinted to Cui'er's mother that she should arrange the wedding date as soon as possible. At that time, I would have some silver to give to the two of them as a bonus for the family.

Cui'er's mother was naturally very happy, kowtowing and thanking him. The rest of them were punished, but in the end they were only punished. Only the family of Gan Sanquan was separated from their families, crying sorrowfully and uncontrollably.

I pushed everyone away from me. While stroking the cloud patterns on my sleeves, I asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that you're not satisfied with my arrangements?"

The people from the Gan Sanquan family quickly shook their heads, but the tears on their faces fell like rain.

A snake devouring its elephant due to lack of greed!

I indifferently said, "Think about the four people who were killed by you. They are all people that you are worried about. However, they are currently lying in cold coffins, unable to open their eyes. "If you feel the slightest bit of guilt towards them, you don't need to plead with me anymore. Just leave through my door and quickly go home to pack your luggage!"

Seeing my cold attitude, the people from the Gan Sanquan family knew that there was no turning back. They kowtowed to me three times and said in a hoarse voice, "Many thanks for not killing me, Miss." Yi Lan accompanied him out the door.

At this point, other than the real culprit, the matter of the blood coffin had come to an end.

When he went to eat dinner at his grandmother's place, his father's complexion had already returned to normal. With a smile on his face, he chatted with his grandmother as if he was talking to his own mother.

I secretly thought, if my father knew my true identity, what would I do?

If he knew, although he had always insisted on erecting the Yang family's reputation, but he himself was not even a member of the Yang family, how would he react?

The fate of humans was truly marvelous!

Grandmother thought that she had grasped the key to my father's background, but in the end, she had to leave home to protect herself. Father thought that he had grasped my mother's weakness, but in the end, it was just to help others.

Fate's cycle of reincarnation seemed to be engraved into this cycle of karma.

After dinner, everyone drank a cup of tea. As Father had returned, both Aunt Wang and Aunt Mo had smiles plastered on their faces. The three children surrounded Father, chattering loudly.

His father held the teacup and pondered for a while. Then, he said, "I think it's better to consider this matter carefully and slowly."

I couldn't help but think of my grandmother lying on the kang, calm and composed, saying that my father certainly wouldn't take this to heart. For a moment I thought it was funny. My grandmother and I looked at each other, then I smiled and told my father about asking my family letter to teach family justice.

His father raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't care and then said, "This arrangement is quite appropriate!"

When Jia Yi heard his father's approval, he was exceptionally happy. He ran around the letter and ran over. His older brother was short, causing his father to hug his older brother so much that he wanted to play on the ground.

While straightening his son, his father said, "I've discussed this with your grandmother. Since I'm back, it's not a big deal to let your mother stay like this. Tomorrow, come with me to the Pagoda Temple!"

I hastily stood up and replied, "How many cars do you think are suitable for me?"

Grandmother smiled as she glanced at me, clearly seeing the little scheme in my heart.

Since father hasn't been home for a long time, he might not realize how sharp I was before. I might as well take this opportunity to guard myself and give myself some time to recover.

His father casually waved his hand and said, "You can take care of these matters. Aside from your grandmother, let's go!"

I smiled and nodded my head.

When we got back that night, Lan Lan agreed.

Mother's coffin was naturally pulled by a hearse, so there was no need for me to think about it. His father rode a horse, and his family letter was his eldest son. If he wanted to lead the banner at the front, it would be inconvenient for him to go back and forth in the carriage. The only ones left were me, Jiayi, Aunt Wang, Aunt Mo and Jia Cheng. If I was riding with my family, Aunt Wang and Aunt Mo would be embarrassed, so they might as well ride with Aunt Wang in a blue linoleum cart, while Aunt Mo and her two sons rode in a big BMW cart.

After sending a message to the steward in charge of carriages and horses in the inner and outer court during the night, I thought that my family would always be coming in and out of the house with me, so I instructed Lan Ya to personally inform him of tomorrow's arrangements. When Lan Li came back, she laughed and said that she was going to ride with her brothers and would not ride with her in a car.

I hugged Mrs. Tang as I lay on the bed. "Then how did you persuade him?"

While taking off her clothes, Lan Li said with a smile, "What else can we do? We can talk about this like how Miss did with Second Young Master's servants!"
