With his mouth stuffed with pastries, Jia Yi blinked and looked at Aunt Wang, "Brother-in-law?"

Aunt Wang put away the leftovers from the pastries and nodded with a smile. "That's right! is your sister's husband! "

Shortly after, earth-shattering wails echoed in my ears like a thunderclap.

"I don't want it! I don't want brother-in-law! " Jiayi cried and shouted as he made a ruckus, causing people to turn over and pour out tea.

Aunt Wang jumped in fright at his violent reaction. She hurriedly covered his mouth and coaxed him, "Alright! Alright! No! No! We don't want brother-in-law, okay? "

On the way home, I had to hold my hand tightly and groan. Every time I cried, I had to get Aunt Wang to softly promise me that I wouldn't immediately find him a brother-in-law.

As I got out of the car, I saw that there were still tears on his face. I was afraid that the cold wind would break his face, so I coaxed him to put on his hat.

According to etiquette, when the other families sent it here, it was already considered a big gift and they would not follow the main house into the buddhist hall.

I turned around to look for Jiang Ming's figure. I didn't think that I would be able to find his snow-white horse after looking for it a few times.

Jiayi, whose face only revealed his eyes, blinked at me and mumbled, "Sister, it's so cold outside! Let's quickly go in! "

Looking at the boy's heavy cotton jacket and trousers, I couldn't help but laugh and touch his head.

This was what Aunt Wang meant when she said she was scared!

With the previous episode, the two old masters had learnt their lesson well. With their father accompanying them, they walked up to the Buddha and lit an incense stick. Then the presiding officer led us around the lobby and into the back clean room. Mother's coffin was quietly placed on the lotus seat.

Standing next to the coffin, I pretended to be polite and nodded and smiled at the two of you.

Seeing that the two men were so frightened by me that they shrugged their shoulders, I stroked my sleeves dispiritedly.

How boring!

When Aunt Mo saw the case between the Lu family and me, she couldn't help but cover the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

The members of the Lu family were even more embarrassed. They didn't dare to say a word or take another step.

He exchanged two coffins that were almost identical to each other. The coffin that was filled with his mother's clothing would be placed in front of the Buddha for forty-nine days to eliminate the karma. His mother's coffin temporarily welcomed him back to the Yang family and departed for the day, burying him in the ancestral grave located in the western mountain of Ping City.

Everything was done in an orderly manner. The members of the Lu family could only watch from the sidelines.

After using the sakai at the Great Sophora Tree Temple, we still got into the car according to the original distribution. His father invited the Lu brothers over to his house, and the two of them, Old Master Lu, declined that there was something they needed at home. Although everyone knew that they just didn't have the face to come to the Yang family, they couldn't say too much, so they left it to them.

On the way home, I lifted the curtains a few times to see if Jiang Ming, the bastard, was still there. But as soon as I open the window, the family cries and cries cold, unless I close, otherwise crying.

I let go of the curtain and rubbed his head with a smile. "You clever boy!"

When they arrived home, it was already late in the evening. They couldn't help but pay their respects to their grandmother. After we had eaten together at Grandmother's, Grandmother sent everyone away, leaving Father and me alone, saying that she wanted to speak to us alone.

Aunt Wang looked at me worriedly. After being glared at by my grandmother a few times, she left with a face full of helplessness.

Holding a solitary lamp, Grandmother and Father sat on the brick bed, one on each side. I quickly poured a cup of tea for each of us and affectionately called out "Grandmother" and "Uncle" to each other.

This was the first time I had made it clear to my father that I already knew the secrets of my life.

Grandmother nodded with a smile. Father was silent, and the three of them knew what was going on.

When I sat down, my grandmother started from the story of her husband, all the way until the interesting events of her father's childhood, how unfortunate her daughter's marriage was, and finally the sudden death of her wife.

Sure enough, no matter what his grandmother said, his father would always say, "It's fine if mother wants to build a buddhist hall at home!"

My grandmother winked at me.

"I know what my grandmother meant," I said with a smile. "Uncle's words are wrong!"

My father raised his eyebrows and looked at me in naked scrutiny.

I used to be a little flustered by such cold eyes. However, in his life, he had met with so many gazes like this that even his fear had gone numb. He was actually able to deal with them as if nothing had happened.

"Ever since her aunt left, there have been many rumours in the city that she died suddenly because she was harmed by others. This was especially true when it came to the matter of the blood coffin. The rumors were obviously fake, but they spread like wildfire, causing some of the information to become true. "Amongst these lies, the most common saying is that her grandmother is an old man. Because she doesn't like it when her aunt can't give birth to a child and is jealous of Aunt Mo, so …"

Dang, his father was so angry that he threw out the teacup in his hand. If I wasn't so quick, I might have been struck dead on the spot.

I couldn't help but think that my father was deliberately making things difficult for me.

I had to throw a helpless look at my grandmother.

When I first said that someone suspected my grandmother of poisoning my mother, she already frowned. Now that my father was angry again, and my grandmother already knew that I was deliberately not going to help, she waved her hand at me and told me to go back and rest.

I immediately bowed respectfully and left the room with a smile, closing the door for the two of them.

Lan Ling was waiting at the door with a happy expression. When she saw me come out, she rushed up to me and smiled. "Miss, the person you have been looking forward to all day and night is here!"

Somehow, the first thing that came to mind was Jiang Ming's devilish face.

I feel like I've been poisoned with a poison called stupidity!

As I followed Lan Ling back, I said smilingly, "I didn't expect that their family would return so quickly. I had thought that it would be the end of the month!"

When Lan Lin thought of how she was about to see Gong Er's wife again, she smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Lan Zhi welcomed me with a regretful expression as she sighed, "The Gongzi Sister-in-Law waited for you for an entire afternoon. When Grandma Gong came later to urge me, saying that she had a body, it wouldn't be good to walk around in the night and bring her away."

When Lan Lingyun heard that, she couldn't help but be inwardly annoyed. She brought out a cup of tea to pass to me and angrily said: "What are you saying? Could it be that there's a tiger eating humans in this courtyard? "

I was also secretly surprised in my heart. I didn't expect that the news about my family had already spread so far that even the manor itself knew about it.

What did Lan Xin want to do?

I smiled and snapped my lips. "When did you become so short of breath?" Since she has the time to do so, I might as well go out and send a message for her to meet me tomorrow afternoon. "

Lan Ling had no choice but to go out to do what I had told her to do. She came back and muttered under her breath for a long time before finally falling asleep.

The next morning, as soon as I arrived at my grandmother's courtyard, I heard the ladies discussing that my grandmother and father had had a long conversation the night before. The two of them reminisced about the past and told a man of my father's age that he was in tears. I immediately agreed that my grandmother would leave for a recuperation, and even allocated 10,000 taels of silver annually from the outer court for my grandmother's daily use.

I couldn't help but have a naughty guess. Did Grandmother tell him my father's background as well?

However, when I entered the door, I could not help but admire my grandmother for the kind words she said while sitting on the kang with a motherly air.

The way in which a schemer could be so ingenious could be said to be superb.

After breakfast, my grandmother's thoughts were over, and I felt comfortable, so she told me to get the green cuckoo who was still living in her room out as soon as possible.

I quickly smiled in agreement and brought Lan Lingyun to see the Green Bandits.

After such a disaster, the green bandit had lost a great deal of weight, leaving only a handful of bones behind. Fortunately, he was in good spirits and looked rather angry.

When I arrived, she was leaning on her pillow, talking to Mama Du. Seeing me come in, she tried to get up to say hello, but Lan Lin pushed her back down onto the bed.

Lu Ke couldn't help but smile. He leaned back on his pillow and laughed at Lan Ling. "Why is it that when you are a steward, you are still so careless?"

Lan Ling pinched the Green Bull's arm and scolded her, "Why do you talk so much!"

I sat on the edge of the bed and asked Lu Kuo about his recent daily life. "Are you holding your breath?" I asked with a smile. I'll send Lan Zhi over later and have her help you clean up. I'll bring you back in the afternoon! "

Hearing this, Green Bandits was very happy. His face also turned a bit more red. He got up from the bed and said with a smile, "She came over to help me. She only has a few sets of clothes left and right. I'll pack them myself!"

Mother Du also followed the Green Bandits and said, "And I'm helping the girl! Miss, you don't have to worry about that! "

But I thought that after all, the Rookie was a sick man, and it was not good for her to work. When he told this to Lan Zhi, she didn't say a word. She immediately summoned her mother and brought them to her grandmother's courtyard.

After the mothers came back to me, I went to the third yard where Lan Lan and Lu Kou were. When I saw that the Rookie was still sleeping in his old room, I said to Lan Li, "Bring all your bedding to my room and stay in the blue chiffon cupboard behind me. "Arrange another little girl to specially take care of the Green Bandits so that she won't be unable to take care of her illness."

Lan Ling giggled in response, and happily replied, "Isn't this asking little miss to stand guard for me?"

My bedroom is farther out than the blue chiffonier.

The green bandit leaned against the headboard, pinched Lan Lan's cheek and laughed. "Stupid is also this mouth, it just so happens that it is this mouth!" It's Miss's fault for doting on you! "

Lan covered her face and complained to me, "Miss, she's jealous of me!"

After lunch break, I sat on the brick bed, idly flipping through the vocabulary book, just waiting for Gong's second wife to come see me.

There were also people from the Zhou family who didn't want to enter with her.

I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. "I didn't expect the two of you to be old acquaintances!"

The person from the Hundred Wood Clan quickly bowed and replied with a smile, "Not an old friend, but a teacher and student."

It was only after the Hundred Wood Family spoke about it that I remembered that when Gong Er's wife was a little girl, she was the inner court manager's little girl. Because of her ability and dignity, her mother begged the old lady to come forward and tell her that she had an honest relationship with Gong Er.

The Hundred Wood Family laughed and chatted with us for a while before kneeling down: "Because I heard that my younger sister had moved back and missed her a bit, I specifically came here to walk around Miss's place!"

I hurriedly told the little girl to bring her there, and smiled at Second Wife Gong. "I was too busy being happy that Big Sister Gong came back, but I didn't even notice that she was here for proper business!"

There was a faint smile on Gong Er's wife's face as she kneeled down and greeted me, "Miss absolutely cannot call me 'Big Sister' anymore. That was said when I was just a child!"

I didn't expect that after so much effort, we would meet again in such a situation. I didn't know how to react and froze on the spot.

The scenes of her as a teacher and a friend flashed before my eyes in a disorderly manner. Her cordial smile finally merged with the respectful and indifferent face in front of me.

"You …"

I sat on the kang while she stood there, looking down at her, and for a moment I could not speak.

Was this considered a type of thing?

"Although this servant is in the manor, I have always cared deeply about Miss. Knowing that Miss has taken care of the family, this servant is very happy for you in her heart. "

I smiled and nodded.

It turns out that she thinks that my actions are cruel, that I would use any means necessary to obtain the authority of the clan and take it from her.

On this point, I have nothing to say.

Although I did not regard life as a thing to be done, I did not kill Born. Born died because of me, I cannot deny that these people were forced into this whirlpool because I did not want to give in to fate.

I didn't deny it, and I never wanted to deny it.

Life has always been like this. If it wasn't for me using others, I would have been used by others. If I have to choose between the two, I will not hesitate to protect myself.

It's not that I have always been like this, but that the self-sacrifice that I was taught by the Church of Life, in the eyes of those who were protected, was just a fool who walked right into a trap.

I pressed a small basket made of bamboo strips beside me, and revealed a businesslike smile towards Second Wife Gong. "I invited you back this time to get a mother in charge of Second Young Master's affairs. I've already explained in detail in my letter …"

I called Jiayi to meet her and introduced him to all the servants who were to be assigned to her, because the one named Shiva was the nephew of Gong-er's wife. I was pleased to see her, so I gave him a leave of absence and told her to bring him home to be reunited with her parents.

Gong Er's wife still bowed to me in gratitude.

In the evening, when I went out to Grandmother's courtyard with her, Jiayi secretly tugged on my sleeve and begged, "Sister, can I have a change of mother manager?"

I touched his head and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with her? What's wrong with her?"

Jiayi smiled shyly, pinched the corner of his shirt and said, "Her boss' face is scary!"

I thought back to Gong's second wife and the girl together, that cheerful and cheerful smile, and could not help but feel sad.

The love of mothers and children in this world should be the same, right?

I held onto my family's righteous hand and smiled at him. "She is a very upright person. Elder sister really likes her. Perhaps you will like her as well."

He was still unwilling to admit his ignorance. He curled his lips but didn't say anything more.
