When Aunt Yun heard Aunt Liu's voice, she frowned and was filled with doubts.
This woman rarely comes to sit here. Is the sun coming out in the west today?
Although Aunt Yun had some doubts in her heart, she did not delay. She got up and came out to greet her personally and said, "Who do I think you are? It turns out to be Sister Liu. Come in and sit down."
"How are you doing, sister?" Aunt Liu said after she went in and sat down.
Aunt Yun sighed and said: "I think the news has spread a lot in the past few days. It seems that we are already close to each other. But so what, hasn't Madam sent someone to inform us yet?"
Aunt Liu sighed and squeezed out a few tears. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Sister is right. I'm afraid Madam deliberately hid it from us."
"How could it be? You know that Madam has always been kind to us. If something really happened to the master, why would Madam continue to hide it?" Aunt Yun asked in disbelief.
"Sister Yun, I'm afraid she doesn't know that the eldest young master is back, right?" Aunt Liu said pretending to be mysterious.
"Everyone in the house knows about the eldest young master's return. How could I not know about it? Isn't the eldest young master's return just to serve his health?" Aunt Yun asked doubtfully.
"Sister Yun, you are really naive. When the young master comes back with the child at this time, it is not just a matter of attending to the disease. He has never returned home for so many years. Why did the master have an accident on the front, and he came back on the back? How did he get it?
News? This can only mean that someone from Shangshu Mansion secretly sent him a message." Aunt Liu said mysteriously.
"What does Sister Liu mean?" Aunt Yun asked.
"Sister, I've said it so clearly, why haven't you understood yet? The reason why the eldest young master was able to escape from the secret room that year was because of Madam's manipulation? Therefore, it goes without saying that the eldest young master was able to come back in such a timely manner.
It's a message from Madam." Aunt Liu said in a low voice.
Aunt Yun looked a little surprised after hearing Aunt Liu's words, and she didn't recover for a while. It stands to reason that the master is critically ill, so even if they are not informed, the master's children should be allowed to fulfill their filial piety. But now, in addition to the eldest young master, he is waiting for her.
Apart from the master, only the second young master and the eldest daughter, who were direct descendants, had approached the main courtyard. She was not completely unaware of what Aunt Liu said, but she just didn't want to bother at first. But according to Aunt Liu, could it be that Madam wanted to
Monopolizing the family property? Seeing that Aunt Yun was so lost in thought, Aunt Liu called out softly: "Sister Yun, what are you thinking so lost in thought?"
"I was shocked by Sister Liu's words. According to what you said, wouldn't Madam start planning now? But, will she really do this?" Aunt Yun said.
She didn't make her words clear. Now she and Aunt Liu had a tacit understanding. I believe there were some words that didn't need to be said clearly.
"People are so far apart from each other. She usually doesn't bother to deal with us, as if she is so noble and generous. Sister, if you think about it carefully, there are too many women in the backyard to count. Even if she doesn't deal with us, there are always some restless ones. Like
You finally got pregnant with a boy, but weren't you tricked by Aunt Wen? There's no need for Madam to get her hands dirty and just sit in her yard and reap the benefits. Sister Yun, do you think I'm right?
"Aunt Liu administered another dose of strong medicine.
After Aunt Yun gave birth to Xu Ling'er, she became pregnant soon after. After the doctor saw it, she said it was a boy. She was a little envious at the time. But when she was about to give birth, Aunt Yun began to show signs of miscarriage. She waited for the baby.
After giving birth, my face turned purple.
He died within a quarter of an hour.
After the doctor came to the house and saw the child's appearance, he discovered that Aunt Yun had taken the medicine of tiger and wolf, and the child had been deeply poisoned in her mother's womb. In other words, Aunt Yun had already been poisoned without her knowledge as early as three months into her pregnancy.
Take those medicines.
After hearing what the doctor said, the master became furious and issued an order to find out the person who killed the child.
Finally, Aunt Yun recalled that she would drink the tonic that Aunt Wen made for her every day. She had the best relationship with Aunt Wen back then and had no precautions at all, otherwise she would not have let her child die right after birth.
Aunt Yun couldn't help but cry bitterly every time she thought of the lost child. Years later, although the tears could no longer be shed, her heart was still filled with pain because from now on, she could no longer be pregnant.
Seeing that the heat was coming, Aunt Liu tentatively said: "Sister Yun, now is not the time to be sad. I don't think we should test Madam. If she really has something to hide from us, we might as well act first. If it's too late,
We might get nothing."
"Sister Liu, what are your plans?" Aunt Yun didn't have any good ideas at the moment.
A lot of things have happened in the backyard over the years, either this aunt had a miscarriage, or one of the aunts found musk in the house. Although Madam has never felt sorry for them, she has not helped them. If she doesn't plan for herself, I'm afraid Ling'er's future will be
It's all a problem.
"Sister, you said that if Madam is gone..." Aunt Liu did not finish her words.
"As my sister said, how could the wife who was so good be gone? Besides, even if the wife is really gone, wouldn't there still be an eldest young master?" Aunt Yun said.
"If something happens to the master, my wife may be too sad and follow him. As for the eldest young master, if something happens to Xu's family and grandson, will the eldest young master still care about the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion?" Aunt Liu's eyes flashed.
Said with a smile.
"What you mean is...but you also know that Madam never comes here, and it is difficult for us to get close to her. Wouldn't it be very rude if we took the initiative to find her? And the eldest young master's child, we are even more
It's impossible to meet. Sister Liu, this plan is too dangerous, I think it's better to forget it." Aunt Yun said.
She is indeed very unwilling, but if she is asked to harm others for money, she simply cannot do it.
"Sister Yun, if we are kicked out in the future, will you be willing?" Aunt Liu said.
"Madam won't do this, right? She has always been kind to the master's heirs, so she shouldn't do this." Aunt Yun said.
"Sister Yun, I think you are the only one in the Shangshu Mansion who is still so simple. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Ling'er. Ling'er was already a hairpin last year, when did Madam come to care about her?
Too bad? Although Yu'er is two years older than Ling'er, Yu'er is still the legitimate daughter. I'm afraid that when the master is gone, the future of our daughters will be decided by the madam. What kind of family will the madam find for them?
, have you ever thought about it?" Aunt Liu said excitedly.
Aunt Yun indeed has not thought about these things. After all, it was Aunt Liu who proposed these things. However, will Madam find a random family for them to marry after the master is gone?
But no matter what, she shouldn't harm anyone. Madam has always been clear about right and wrong, and she doesn't look like that at all. Besides, Aunt Liu's visit today is also very strange.
So, she said helplessly: "Sister Liu, I think let's forget about this matter. If
Madam is really unkind, so I have no choice but to take my life."
Aunt Liu wanted to say something more, but it was obvious that Aunt Yun couldn't listen to anything she said, so she had to leave disappointed.
"Auntie, Aunt Liu's purpose of coming today is not malicious at all." Xing'er, who was waiting for Aunt Yun, said.
Aunt Yun smiled, took a sip of tea and said: "I don't know what her purpose is? She just wants to recruit someone to be her scapegoat. She wants to find an opportunity to attack the wife and the child. When the time comes, she will
Putting everything on me. My newborn child died unjustly, and I am really unwilling to do so. If the master is really gone, he will naturally worry that his wife will embarrass us and our mother. But we cannot let this worry stop us.
Harming people's lives, right? Besides, if something really happened to the master, such a big thing cannot be hidden no matter what. Even if the madam informs the young master to come back, it is natural. The original candidate that the master liked was also the young master, and the madam did not
What did you do wrong? To be fair, in fact, the master has never treated his children as legitimate. Unfortunately, Aunt Liu's son is too disappointing. If you want to blame her, you can only blame her for doting on the third young master. How can you blame her?
Where are the others?"
"Auntie, you are clear-sighted and kind-hearted. I think something will happen in the future, because your kindness will bear good fruits in the future." Xing'er murmured.
"Myolie, I don't know if today's decision is the right one, but I always think that doing this will at least satisfy my conscience. If Aunt Liu comes here again, she will say that I am sick and cannot see guests," Aunt Yun said.
"Yes." Xing'er responded.
"What is Ling'er doing?" Aunt Yun asked.
"The second young lady should have just finished practicing the piano at this time and is currently resting in the room." Myolie replied.
"Tell her there's no need to work too hard and there's no need to compare with them," Aunt Yun said.
Xu Ling'er's mother has a very gentle personality, and she doesn't usually compete with other women for favor. But this daughter doesn't know who she looks like, and she doesn't want to learn from her. Like Xu Ying'er, she thinks about marrying into the prince's palace all day long.
"Auntie, it's a good thing that the second young lady is motivated. I think the second young lady just couldn't figure it out at the moment. If someone gives her some guidance, I believe that with the second young lady's intelligence, she will definitely be reborn," Xing'er said.
"You are used to talking." Aunt Yun said with a smile.
"What this slave said is true." Xing'er said.
After Aunt Yun finished talking to Xing'er, she took a nap on the couch.
Aunt Liu, who returned to her yard, cursed loudly after entering the house: "This woman Yun Xiangqin is simply stupid. After talking to her so much, she didn't show any emotion at all."
The maid who followed Aunt Liu said: "Madam, Aunt Yun gave up after her son died. She is different from you. You still have the third young master by your side. Therefore, you naturally think more than she does.
.The slave can tell that it’s not that she’s not moved, but that she can’t calm down.”
"It seems that we have to deal with her harshly." Aunt Liu murmured.
"Madam, I think you should be more careful. If you attack her now, she will definitely think that you did it. I think you should ignore her for now and just follow your plan." The maid said in a low voice.
"Well, I know it well. By the way, I heard that the little baby named Jin'er likes to play by the pool in the garden every day?" Aunt Liu suddenly asked about Jin'er.
