Xu Ziming was a little helpless and thought about what Xu Ling'er said yesterday. If he were Mrs. Yin, he would also take You'er out of the other courtyard.
Xu Yu'er blamed herself a little. It was clear that You'er's behavior was strange, but she didn't notice anything was wrong at all.
"It's all my fault. If I had found out earlier, I wouldn't have let You'er leave. After eating a plate of pastries yesterday, You'er wanted me to make some more for her. I just thought she liked the pastries I made.
, I made a meal for her and took it back to the yard. You'er likes sweets, but she's not greedy. Why didn't I notice it?" Xu Yu'er said reproaching herself.
"Yu'er, how can I blame you?" the lady said distressedly.
"Mom, where can You'er go with Madam Yin?" Xu Yu'er said worriedly.
The lady sighed and said, "I think the mother and daughter went to Yaowang Valley. Master, I think you need to go to Yaowang Valley yourself to pick them up."
Unexpectedly, the master shook his head, smiled bitterly and said: "They will not come back. She has already given me the opportunity."
"Master, are you going to give up just like that?" the lady asked.
In fact, the madam knows the master best, after all, the two have been together for so many years. The master should be very sad when Yin Meier leaves. But why does the master want to give up?
"Forget it, let them walk around." Master Shangshu said.
After hearing what the master said, the lady looked at the Master with concern, and Xu Yu'er seemed to want to say something else. Xu Ziming shook his head at Xu Yu'er and told her to stop talking.
Master Shangshu told everyone that he was a little tired, so his wife accompanied him into the house.
After Xu Yu'er watched her parents leave the front hall, she asked: "Brother, my father is obviously very sad, why don't you go see Mrs. Yin and You'er to get him back?"
Xu Ziming sighed and said, "Because father knows that Mrs. Yin will never come back."
"If father doesn't go looking for her, how would he know that she won't come back? Besides, can father have the heart to let You'er wander outside?" Xu Yu'er asked in confusion.
"Father knows Mrs. Yin's temperament very well. He knows that even if he finds her, it will be useless. Mrs. Yin is the elder of Yaowang Valley. If my father hadn't used You'er to blackmail her, how could Mrs. Yin stay in Shangshu Mansion?
More than ten years. Xu Ling'er should be glad that Mrs. Yin is no longer the elder she used to be, otherwise, she might not even be able to get out of bed now." Xu Ziming said with a cold snort.
"No wonder Mrs. Yin chose to leave. Xu Ling'er's words are really too harsh." Xu Yu'er said.
"Yu'er, I know you are sad. After all, we have just met You'er. When I have the chance, I will take you to Yaowang Valley." Xu Ziming said.
"Really?" Xu Yu'er asked in surprise after hearing what Xu Ziming said.
"I believe Princess Pluto will agree." Xu Ziming said with a smile.
He knew that Xu Yu'er and You'er had a very good relationship. If the two never saw each other again, Yu'er would definitely be sad. And that silly girl You'er might not be much better either.
"Brother, we can't go back on our word," Xu Yu'er said.
"How could I regret it when your sister-in-law is here?" Xu Ziming said.
"Sister-in-law, you have to testify for Yu'er." Xu Yu'er said to Su'er.
"Don't worry, your elder brother will definitely let you see him if he says it." Su'er said.
Despite Xu Ziming's assurance, Xu Yu'er returned to her yard a little disappointed. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Tao'er squatting there waiting for her.
"Tao'er, why did you come here?" Xu Yu'er asked in surprise.
"Miss, where did Miss You'er go?" Tao'er asked worriedly.
"It turns out it was for You'er. You'er and Mrs. Yin went to Yaowang Valley. Tao'er, go pack your things and come back to me." Xu Yu'er said.
"You'er isn't coming back?" Tao'er was so excited that she even forgot the title of lady.
"Why don't you come back? Madam Yin is the elder of Yaowang Valley. After she found her daughter, she naturally wanted to take her back to show her to the elders. I was worried that you would be lonely there alone, so I wanted you to come back to me."
Xu Yuer said.
"So that's it, Tao'er, go back and pack your things now." After Tao'er said that, she left the yard.
After going back and tidying up briefly, she walked to Xu Yu'er's yard. However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. If Mrs. You'er really wanted to return to Yaowang Valley, why couldn't she leave early in the morning instead of midnight?
Did you leave the other courtyard in the middle of the night?
Returning to the familiar courtyard, she put her things away and went to say hello to Xu Yu'er.
Seeing Tao'er's worried look, Xu Yu'er asked, "Tao'er, you still miss You'er, right?"
"Miss, if Mrs. Yin wanted to leave with You'er, why did she leave secretly in the middle of the night?" Tao'er asked.
Xu Yu'er had no choice but to say: "Mrs. Yin has her own ideas, and I don't know why. Don't think so wildly, You'er will be back after a while." Xu Yu'er comforted her and said.
"Yes." Tao'er responded.
It was in the evening when Master Shangshu finally recovered. He asked people to take Xu Ling'er to the ancestral hall to punish her by kneeling down to reflect on her past mistakes. After hearing this, Xu Ling'er entered the ancestral hall without saying a word and walked to the ancestral tablet and knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet. This time
Kneel down all night long.
Li'er only heard the news early the next morning, so she quickly told Aunt Yun who had just gotten up.
After listening to Li'er's words, Aunt Yun frowned slightly and said to Li'er worriedly: "How could this girl Ling'er say such mean words the morning before yesterday? She has always been smarter than Miss Third, why didn't she say that yesterday?
Can you hold back?"
Aunt Yun thought that Master Shangshu might be getting angrier as he thought about it, so she thought of punishing Xu Ling'er.
"Auntie, I heard that Mrs. Yin and Miss You'er disappeared early yesterday morning. Everyone guessed that the mother and daughter had left the other house and would never come back. Otherwise, the master would not have gone there last night.
Let the young lady go to the ancestral hall to be punished." Li'er said.
"Li'er, are you saying that both Mrs. Yin and You'er are missing?" Aunt Yun asked in surprise.
That day, Xu Ling'er left the front hall and returned to her yard. When Aunt Yun rushed over, Xu Ling'er locked the door and refused to listen to Aunt Yun's words. Aunt Yun was so angry that Xu Ling'er had a headache, so she returned to her yard.
rest.
As a result, she stayed in bed for a whole day. Li'er went to the kitchen and made some medicine for her to drink. She didn't feel better until after breakfast time today. Who knew that as soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Xu Ling'er
News of being taken to the ancestral hall and punished.
"Auntie, I just heard about this early this morning. I heard that my wife was waiting for Mrs. Yin and Miss You'er to say hello in the morning, but they never saw the mother and daughter going to the front hall. The eldest lady went to Miss You'er's yard in person
, only to find that Miss You'er was not in the yard at all. At the same time, Mrs. Yin was not in the yard either. In the evening, Madam asked people to search the entire other courtyard, but there was no sign of Mrs. Yin or Miss You'er. I heard that the master had not been there all day.
There was no meal, and in the evening, the lady was taken to the ancestral hall to be punished." Li'er said in one breath.
"Hey, Master has always loved Ling'er. If he wasn't really angry, why would he take her to the ancestral hall to be punished?" Aunt Yun said worriedly.
After listening to Li'er's words, Aunt Yun realized why the master didn't punish Ling'er until the evening of the next day. It turned out that because of Ling'er's words, Mrs. Yin actually took her daughter and left the other courtyard.
More than ten years ago, when the master brought Yin Meier back, she realized that the women in the backyard were probably brought back by the master in the image of Yin Meier. Because she saw it from the way the master looked at Yin Meier.
Tenderness, she realized then that she might even be Yin Meier's substitute.
When she learned that You'er was Yin Mei'er's daughter, she became even more sure of her thoughts. She naturally knew the madam's temper. The madam never made things difficult for the women in the backyard, thinking that she knew that these women in the backyard were just Yin Mei'er.
The stand-in poses no threat at all.
But Yin Mei'er is different, the master really loves her. If You'er grew up next to Yin Mei'er, Madam probably wouldn't let You'er have a good life.
Although You'er is serving the eldest lady in the Shangshu Mansion, she heard that the eldest lady loves the little girl next to her very much. Everything is actually controlled by the master. With the protection of the master, who dares to kill You'er
?
However, Ling'er didn't know about these things, and she didn't even bother to pay attention to these small things on weekdays. Ling'er only knew how to play the piano and practice calligraphy in the yard every day, and didn't care about other things at all.
However, although Ling'er's words were very harsh, he still knelt all night long. Ling'er was very weak, how could he bear this?
Aunt Yun quickly got up and went to the main courtyard without having time to eat.
Li'er supported Aunt Yun all the way to the main courtyard. Upon hearing this, Madam hurriedly invited Aunt Yun in.
"Sister Yun, I heard that you are not feeling well. Please sit down and talk." Madam said.
Li'er helped Aunt Yun sit down, and then Aunt Yun said: "Madam, Ling'er really deserves to be taught a lesson, but she has been kneeling in the ancestral hall all night, how can she bear it?"
"Do you know about Ling'er? The master lost his temper and refused to even listen to my words. After all, Ling'er is a girl's house. It was dark and cold in the ancestral hall. She would definitely fall ill. But last night because I talked too much
After a few words, Master, he slept in the study all night." The lady said helplessly.
"I know Ling'er is at fault, but I shouldn't be so cruel," Aunt Yun said.
"Yun'er, you mean I shouldn't punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall?" The master suddenly came in from outside and said.
It turns out that the master heard everything Aunt Yun said.
"Master, I didn't mean that. I know that Ling'er deserves to be punished, but she has been in the ancestral hall all night. Shouldn't you let her out?" Aunt Yun said.
"What if she doesn't realize her mistake?" the master said coldly.
"How could it be? Ling'er must have known that he was wrong. Please forgive Ling'er, sir." Concubine Yun persuaded.
"Okay, I'll give her a chance. If she doesn't admit her mistake, Yun'er, don't blame me for being ruthless." After the master finished speaking, he took Aunt Yun with him outside the ancestral hall.
Aunt Yun was not allowed to enter the ancestral hall because she was just a concubine. So, the master entered the ancestral hall alone and asked: "Do you know where I went wrong?"
Xu Ling'er curled her lips, sneered and said, "Father, my daughter does not feel that she is at fault."
