After the second master finished giving instructions for many chores, he entered the old lady's yard.
Seeing him coming, Mrs. Ming opened her eyes, and the maids and servants who were serving him withdrew.
"How is it?" The old lady looked a little haggard and out of breath.
The second master moved lightly and stood with a bow: "The doctor has come to see the sixth brother. The injury is a bit serious. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for several months."
Mrs. Ming suddenly threw all the tea cups in her hand at the second master.
"You brothers want me to die miserably!" She angrily rebuked her and burst into tears.
The second master quickly knelt down in front of the bed and said in a most sincere tone: "This is all our brothers' fault. Please take care of your health, mother."
Mrs. Ming burst into tears and pointed at the second master, but she was so angry that she could not speak.
"Mother, mother!" The second master saw something bad and hurriedly touched her chest, but was pushed away by Mrs. Ming.
"You can do it, you are so capable!" Madam Ming regained her breath and scolded him in a suppressed voice, "You have been hiding it from me for so many years, and you thought that except for the lao Liu who didn't live up to expectations, everyone was successful.
.Yes, you are so promising! You dare to think of such a thing! If your father is still here, I won’t break your legs!"
The second master kept silent while being scolded. Only then did he raise his head: "Mom, do you remember how your father died?"
Mrs. Ming was not happy: "His life is short, what can be done?"
"It makes sense to say that the second uncle's life was short. My father had always been in good health, so why was his life short?" The second master said with a gloomy face, "My father died early because he was depressed. Ever since my grandfather was forced to commit suicide, my father has not been alive."
I had a smile on my face one day, and I was so angry."
Mrs. Ming leaned on the bedside and was so angry that she wiped tears: "How dare you think like this? Your grandfather died because he did something wrong and his body was damaged by the elixir. In order to protect your grandfather
The late emperor didn’t even pursue your dignity! How dare you be so disrespectful!”
"This great country is a result of my Ming family's contribution!" The second master suppressed his voice, but refused to give in. "My grandfather spent his whole life for him, and my father and second uncle also worked hard for him early. Why should he because of a little kid?"
Wrong, will my grandfather’s whole life be ruined and my father die in depression?”
"You, you..." Mrs. Ming was so shocked that she pointed at him with a trembling finger and was speechless.
After a long while, she asked: "You brothers, do you all think this way?"
The second master knelt in front of her, his lips tightly closed, but the look on his face undoubtedly confirmed this statement.
Mrs. Ming closed her eyes and burst into tears: "What an injustice! I have raised you all for so many years, but I didn't know that you are all without a king or a father!"
The second master said: "What is a king? If he turns his back and is ruthless, can he be considered a wise king?"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Ming shouted sternly, "Aren't you afraid of being overheard if you say such things openly?"
The second master shut his mouth and lowered his head deeply.
Mrs. Ming was even more disappointed when she saw him like this.
"That's it, why do you want to force the third daughter-in-law? How can you do such a disrespectful thing? Can't our family afford a beauty?"
"This incident is really an accident." The second master explained in a low voice, "It was the sixth man who was drunk and did that kind of thing. It happened that the county prince was there..."
"Forget it, stop talking," Madam Ming interrupted, "Don't talk about these things to taint my ears!"
"……yes."
Mrs. Ming said: "When the news of the third daughter-in-law's death reaches the capital, someone from the Ji family will definitely come. When the time comes, just let Xiao Qi go with her uncle!"
Hearing her tone soften, the second master breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, mother. Xiaoqi is my Ming family's blood, and I won't let her suffer."
"How dare you say that!" Mrs. Ming became angry again after hearing this, "If you hadn't done this, how could an innocent girl named Xiaoqi go to a place like Xinyuan? Now
I still don’t know how she is, so I don’t even dare to ask! I just hope that her uncle will not pursue this matter for her mother’s sake.”
The second master apologized in a low voice: "It's my fault, mother, don't be angry."
Mrs. Ming was disheartened: "I just hope I die early and don't let me see my family destroyed."
"Mother……"
Mrs. Ming waved her hand: "No need to say anything, you can go ahead."
Then he turned away, as if he didn't want to talk to him.
The second master saluted, got up and left in a hurry.
Mrs. Ming laughed self-deprecatingly: "What kind of children have I raised?"
…
When the second master returned to the small courtyard, his confidants came to report: "Miss Awan has left."
"Did she say anything before she left?"
"No."
"Is there anything unusual about your expression?"
"No."
The second master nodded: "You go ahead."
"yes."
The confidant left, and the second master entered the room.
Everyone in the family thought that this was his study, but no one knew that another person actually lived there.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the man sitting behind the desk with his back to him.
"Is there anything wrong with Xiao Qi?" the man asked. "He was sent back overnight. Is it Mr. Yang's side..."
"I don't know yet." The second master said, "Xiao Qi is very emotionally unstable right now, and I dare not ask anyone to ask."
The man said: "Please keep an eye on her more closely. If there is anything unusual, tell me immediately."
"It's natural." The second master paused, "Are you still suspicious of her?"
"I have to be suspicious." He said, "It's not that I didn't call her soul at first, but I still couldn't cure her. How come she suddenly got better after being ill? She also knows some weird things. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just
Afraid of what might happen."
"But now something like this has happened," the second master paused, "What if Young Master Yang intervenes?"
"Let's figure it out!" He said, "Hasn't the person who sent her back already left? Don't ask her to contact people outside again. Just take care of it and deal with her after the limelight has passed."
"Hmm." The second master thought for a while and then said, "I think you are overthinking it. If she were not her biological mother and daughter, how could she be so interested in her? She would even be willing to do such a thing."
"I hope so." He paused, "No matter if there is any problem or not, we have taken care of it. Now that she knows our secret, and she still has the gold hairpin in her hand, she must not make any mistakes."
"I see."
"There must be a lot of things going on during the funeral today. The Fourth Brother is unreliable, so go ahead and do your work."
"good."
The second master is gone.
For a long time, the man in the darkroom lowered his head and looked at his hands.
After a long time, he let out a wry smile.
"I didn't mean it, do you believe it?"
The room was quiet, and no one answered him.
"I don't believe that I would do such a thing."
"In this life, I am the one who has wronged you. Regardless of whether you want revenge in the next life, I will admit it."
