Chang Yining continued: "It is our family that really cares about my grandmother."
Mrs. Chang nodded repeatedly, "Mom, since some things have passed, let's go. We have worked hard in Beijing these years. Now that the master is gone, we will listen to Yi Ning and go back to live a peaceful life in the clan. I will
Serve your mother well."
The anger in Mrs. Chang's eyes gradually extinguished, "Why don't I know... I just can't let it go. Do you know how Mrs. Yang treats me? This is a grudge that I will never forget for many years."
Mrs. Chang just lowered her head and cried, her sobs were filled with indescribable sadness, "Old madam, stop fighting, the master is gone, the master is gone, our family can no longer afford to lose, do you remember
I don’t remember the time when I drank too much wine to wash your feet, but ended up knocking over the footbath, and you laughed so hard that you can’t even get a laugh out of all your glory and wealth in this life.”
Listening to Mrs. Chang's words, Mrs. Chang recalled the past, and the atmosphere in the room slowly relaxed.
"I'm old and can't take care of it anymore," Mrs. Chang asked Mother Chen to help her stand up. "If you want to return to the clan, just go back to the clan. I also want the fallen leaves to return to their roots."
Xiao Suo, whose voice was beyond words, let Mother Chen support her tremblingly towards the inner room.
Mrs. Chang wanted to step forward to help, but Mrs. Chang waved her hand and said with difficulty, "You all go down and let me have a good rest. I'm tired too."
Mrs. Chang turned to look at Chang Yining, "Get up, get up, your grandmother has promised that when all the things in Beijing are finished, we will return to the clan and live peacefully."
How she longed to live such a life.
Chang Yining stood up and went out with Mrs. Chang. After walking out of the yard, Mrs. Chang felt indescribably relieved. She was finally leaving this sad place. She was finally a blessed person.
"Yining, you have to work hard and don't be like your father. The teacher who came to practice the law said that people have to do good to be rewarded?"
Chang Yining nodded.
Mrs. Chang Da said: "This will make me feel at ease. Even though the master is gone, you will always be by my side."
…
The room quieted down, and Mother Chen brought a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Chang, "Mrs. Chang can do whatever she wants. Some things cannot be forced..." She was about to say that the fifth master was benevolent and filial, but she found Mrs. Chang's sharp words.
His gaze fell on her, making her shiver like the cold wind in the dead of winter.
Mrs. Chang frowned, "What did you say?"
Mother Chen was immediately stunned, "It's the old lady... who said she wanted to go back to the clan with the Fifth Master."
Mrs. Chang sneered, "Which clan should I go back to? The Chang family? Don't forget how we were ostracized by the clan after the old man died. There is no good person in the Chang family. Go back and wait to be laughed at? They are crazy.
Are you crazy too?"
It turns out that the old lady's words were just to deal with the madam and the fifth master.
"The second master and the second wife are also here. We are always of the same clan. When the eldest master is in trouble, the second master's family also comes to help. This shows that people in the clan are still reliable. Besides, when we return to the clan, we can rent out the house, too.
A sum of silver."
Master Chang Er is the eldest son of Mrs. Chang's younger brother. He often comes to serve Mrs. Chang and wants to treat his elders.
Mrs. Chang sneered, "That's because they think the elder and Yi Ning can stand out, so they often come and go." At this point, Mrs. Chang turned back, "Can you see their shadows now?"
The person closest to her in the world now is her biological son.
She had a biological son, so why did she leave the capital in despair?
"The Liu family has come to beg me. This is the result of my many years of hard work," Mrs. Chang said sullenly, "You want me to watch King Kang send Mr. Liu Ge to prison?"
What should we do? Mother Chen couldn't think of a way. "The fifth master has already said that he must expose Mr. Liu Ge... If not, we will invite the eldest lady to come over to discuss..."
"She's just a yes man. She doesn't know anything."
Mother Chen felt her hands and feet were cold and the room was very quiet, which made her want to shiver. "What do you want to do, Madam?"
Mrs. Chang was sitting on the bed, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly handed over the calming tea that Mrs. Chang had just ordered to brew.
Mrs. Chang took a sip of tea and felt more confident, "Since Yi Ning has made up his mind to do this, I can't just sit back and ignore it. We will do whatever we have to do."
Mrs. Chang handed the tea bowl in her hand to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen was restless and stretched out her hand but did not catch it. The tea bowl immediately fell to the ground.
…
When Liu Yantian heard the news from Mrs. Chang, he immediately ordered, "When Chang Yining goes out, we must get it immediately." He has raised many such people, and when they are used, they will not blink.
kill.
Mrs. Chang is not in good health, so she ordered Mrs. Chang and Chang Yining to go to Qinghua Temple to seek medicine. The mother and son will set off at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. This is a perfect opportunity.
King Kang was waiting for Yang to cure Yang Bingzheng's illness. Before that, King Kang would not submit a memorial to the emperor about Yang Bingzheng, so they would take action at this time.
Everything was arranged, and Liu Yantian was just waiting for the news to come out as soon as Mao Shi passed. At the end of Mao Shi, the servants hurriedly came in and said: "Mr. Ge, we didn't succeed. Mrs. Chang and Fifth Master Chang didn't go out."
Why didn't you go out?
Liu Yantian suddenly became anxious. If it were delayed for a few more days, things would be hard to change, but Chang Yining refused to leave the house, so where should they start?
Liu Yantian wandered around the room and looked at the servant for a long time, "Call Madam to speak."
The servants rushed to call Mrs. Liu.
Not long after, Mrs. Liu entered the door. When she saw Liu Yantian, she immediately said, "Master, is there any news over there?"
Liu Yantian had no time to tell Mrs. Liu the whole thing in detail, "Repeat what Mrs. Chang said again, and say it clearly without missing a word."
Mrs. Liu didn't know what Liu Yantian meant, but she didn't dare to hesitate and said it immediately.
Liu Yantian lowered his eyes, his gaze constantly changing. Now they had no way to go to the Chang family to kill Chang Yining. They could only rely on the Chang family to do it. How could Mrs. Chang kill the child she raised by herself?
In the flash of flint and lightning, Liu Yantian suddenly remembered, "Go and find the quilt I was born with in the box containing the old lady's things and have it sent to the Chang family."
This is the only thing that can touch Mrs. Chang.
Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was smart, "Master, this will definitely work." She was a mother, and she understood this kind of thinking, and no mother would just watch her son die.
…
Mrs. Chang heard Mrs. Chen come in and immediately looked over, "What did the Fifth Master say?"
Mother Chen said: "The Fifth Master said that he has asked someone to invite the master wife of Qinghua Temple into the house."
It was obvious that he didn't want to go out.
Mrs. Chang's face was ashen.
Mother Chen said: "Could it be that Fifth Master noticed it?"
Needless to say, Chang Yining already knew that the Liu family was suspicious of him, and Yining would not go out until Prince Kang told the story about Yang Bingzheng. "He really did his best for this bitch Yang."
On this point, she had never seen the fifth master be so serious. He locked himself in the room and did not even see the guests. He was obviously afraid of something going wrong.
Mother Chen suddenly sighed in her heart, how come the few years Yang had been in the Chang family, no one saw how powerful Yang was, and why the Fifth Master liked Yang so much. Why did everything change in the blink of an eye?
Just when I thought of this, the maid outside came in and said: "Old Madam, I said at the door that Brocade Mansion has sent some autumn clothing materials, and I must let Old Madam take a look."
Where did their family order the ingredients these past few days?
Mother Chen said: "How about I go take a look."
At this juncture, Mrs. Chang frowned and said, "Bring it in and let me see what it is."
Mother Chen went to the yard and took the things into the house with her own hands, put them on the table and opened them carefully. Unexpectedly, there was a small quilt inside that was not old. Who sent it? Mother Chen couldn't help but be startled.
Mrs. Chang raised her head and looked over. Her eyes fell on the little quilt and she was suddenly stunned. Her heart was beating wildly. All the blood in her body seemed to be rushing into her brain. The past events buried in her heart appeared before her eyes.
It was the swaddling clothes used to wrap her child. She remembered clearly that it was this swaddling clothes. "Bring it here," Mrs. Chang said in a trilling voice, "Bring it here to me."
Mother Chen was startled and hurriedly brought the things to Mrs. Chang. Mrs. Chang grabbed the quilt and hugged it into her arms.
She gave birth to a healthy child, but they replaced her with a frail child like Mr. Chang. When she returned to the Chang family, she was scolded because of the child. The elders complained that she would not have given birth to the child outside if she had not acted recklessly.
Let the child be born with deficiencies.
Not at all, the healthy child she gave birth to was exchanged by Mr. Liu and Mr. Yang.
To whom should she complain of her grievances?
Now that the baby was right in front of her, the Liu family was willing to send such a thing, which meant that Liu Yantian recognized her as his biological mother.
Mrs. Chang burst into tears when she thought of this.
She couldn't let her son go to jail just after getting to know each other, she had to find a way.
Mrs. Chang looked at Mother Chen and said, "Go and ask the kitchen to make a bowl of almond soup."
The old lady had not eaten all day, and it was rare that she wanted to eat almond soup at this time.
Mother Chen immediately responded and hurriedly called for her servants to go to the kitchen to bring it.
After a while, the hot almond soup arrived. Mrs. Chang took two bites and nodded, "It tastes good. Let the kitchen make another bowl."
Mother Chen smiled and asked someone to pick it up again.
When the almond soup arrived, Mrs. Chang looked at Mother Chen and said, "Go and get the gold-wrapped bracelet from my dressing box."
That gold-covered bracelet, gold-covered bracelet.
That was, that was, a bracelet with a hollow center. The old lady never mentioned it, but she opened it carefully behind her back, and there was some strange medicinal powder inside.
Medicinal powder, she had just doubted what it was for before, but now she suddenly understood it.
Does the old lady want to... want to...
Mother Chen hurriedly lowered her head to hide her horrified expression.
Mrs. Chang urged, "What are you doing standing still? Go quickly."
Mother Chen took the bracelet and found that her palms were covered in cold sweat.
The fifth master, she saw the appearance of the fifth master in front of her. Growing up, he slept in the old lady's house, reading and making the old lady happy. How could the old lady be so cruel? As long as she thought that the fifth master would die, she would feel sad in her heart.
It's like being grabbed hard.
What should I do? What should I do? After being with the old lady for so many years, she has already made up her mind that no matter what the old lady does, she will follow him willingly. The old lady treats her and her family so well, she cannot leave the old lady at this time.
Mother Chen just thought of this, Mrs. Chang said: "Go and make me a cup of tea."
This is to deliberately send her away.
Mother Chen didn't want to leave, her legs didn't work, she picked up the tea sling and walked out.
Mother Chen had almost forgotten how the cup of tea was brought in. When she entered the door, the old lady leaned on the pillow very relaxedly and said, "I can't eat anymore. Please have this bowl of almond soup delivered to Mr. Wu.
The fifth master has been working hard these past two days. You asked the fifth master to come and talk to me after eating. Since we are going back to the clan, we have many things to arrange early. I think it is best to sell part of the land in Jingli, otherwise we will ask for it when we go back.
How to live."
Let her say these words to the Fifth Master so that the Fifth Master should not be suspicious. The old lady can still be so thoughtful at this time.
Mother Chen picked up the almond soup and felt that the tray in her hand was heavy. After just two steps, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Mrs. Chang sighed, "I'm tired and don't want the Fifth Master to come over. It's better to give the Fifth Master the accounts on the Zhuangzi in the drawer and ask him to calculate the several Zhuangzi and tell me tomorrow which one will be sold and which one will be kept."
Mother Chen responded.
Mrs. Chang said: "Ask the maid to send it to you. I can't live without you in my house."
This is done to avoid suspicion.
As long as the things are handed over to the maid, no one can tell clearly even if the fifth master is poisoned to death.
Mother Chen was still stunned, but the maid Guoer, who was twelve or thirteen years old, had already stepped forward to take the almond soup.
Seeing Guo'er walking out of the house, Mother Chen felt that she was about to fall down immediately. The old lady's calm voice came from behind her, "Come here and squeeze my legs."
The sky was overcast, and the clouds were coming thickly. Suddenly, everything in the house looked so gloomy. Mother Chen couldn't help but want to run away, but Mrs. Chang was like holding a string around her neck, letting her
Turn around and walk back.
…
Chang Yining was looking at the documents in his hand. Liu Yantian would never admit that he had imprisoned Yang Bingzheng for so many years. He had to organize his thoughts clearly so that he would not be questioned when he arrived at the Yamen.
Mrs. Chang entered the door and saw Chang Yining, who was frowning, "What's wrong with you? You locked yourself in the room and refused to go out. What did you and the old lady say yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?
.”
Chang Yining welcomed Mrs. Chang to the chair and sat down. "Don't worry, mother. My son is just dealing with some letters and will be fine soon."
Mrs. Chang nodded and was about to continue talking when she heard the maid outside say: "The old lady asked me to send almond soup and Zhuangzi's accounts to Fifth Master."
It's the fruit in the old lady's house.
The curtain opened and a little girl with a round face and a smile walked in.
Guo'er stepped forward and saluted. She was smeared with osmanthus fragrance and smelled very sweet. Her eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled. Every time she went to the old lady's place, Mrs. Chang would look at Guo'er more.
Somehow, seeing this girl, Mrs. Chang's unhappiness was relieved a lot.
Almond soup was placed on the table, along with the accounts handed down by the old lady.
Mrs. Chang looked at Chang Yining with a smile, "Eat it while it's hot so you can take a look at these things and go back to your grandmother tomorrow."
