June 13th was a sunny day. However, the atmosphere in the Wei family was very depressing. For no other reason than this day was the memorial day of the young lady.
Wei Changqing had a little sister, nicknamed Linfang. Wei Linfang was cute and smart, with a little willfulness of a little girl. Everyone in the Wei family liked her very much.
She was also the only sister who had the same father and mother as Wei Changqing. His wife died of illness shortly after the birth of the little girl. Wei Changqing felt very sorry for this sister who lost her mother when she was young, and was very close to her.
Five years ago, when he had just lost his crown and Wei Linfang had just turned twelve, an accident took the life of this little girl. She stayed at the cold age of twelve forever, never having the chance to grow up.
That day was as sunny as today.
He was in a daze by the lake, imagining his little sister splashing in the water, and smiled a little. After his sister's accident, almost everyone who took care of her at the time was executed, and they were killed in a hurry. This
The lake was almost filled in.
In the end, he stopped his furious father. This was the last place where my sister stayed, the place where she once laughed. She must not want this place to be filled with earth and rocks.
But although the lake remains, few people dare to come here.
Only Wei Changqing often comes here to sit, and he thinks that this way his sister will not be so lonely. Maybe he has been a little tired recently, and he felt a little sleepy while leaning on the fake rocks by the lake. Just when he was about to fall asleep.
, I could vaguely hear a woman's soft voice, and the smell of burning paper could be heard in the air.
He was a little strange, who was burning paper here, and was he worshiping his sister? He quietly walked around to the place where the sound came from.
Sure enough, a woman in white was burning paper. While burning, she whispered: "Little miss, are you still angry? Do you hate your mother? It's not that I didn't want to tell the young master and the master at the beginning, but I didn't dare.
Ah! Although it has been so many years, I am suffering every day. I am a sinner, but Aying is innocent. If you want to find her, just find me. I am willing to accompany you, little lady..."
Wei Changqing only felt that his head was pounding and his blood seemed to be flowing backwards. He rushed forward in a few steps and extinguished the small flames. He grabbed the woman's collar and asked fiercely: "What did you just say? What the hell?"
Dare you tell me? Tell me clearly."
The person he held in his arms was Wei Linfang's wet nurse Zhang. Since she lost her mother shortly after birth, Wei Linfang was as dependent on Zhang as her biological mother.
After Wei Linfang's accident, although Wei Changqing was angry, he believed that Zhang was not to blame, so he didn't say anything and gave Zhang a sum of money to help him settle down.
But this person, who Lin Fang regarded as her biological mother, chose to hide the truth from her closest relatives. How could Wei Changqing not be angry about this?
Madam Zhang was frightened by his sudden appearance. When she saw the person coming, her eyes widened in shock. Wei Changqing forced himself to calm down, threw Madam Zhang to the ground, and said in a cold tone: "I
You must know that your patience is limited. You only have one chance. It's best to tell the truth, otherwise..."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but shudder when she saw the fierce light in his eyes. She knew how much the eldest young master doted on the young lady.
When the little lady was little, she would have to be hugged by her brother before going to sleep at night. No matter how late he was busy, the young master would always come to stay with her. Only then could the young master, who always had a straight face, turn into a lively and lovely child.
.
In her heart, why doesn't she miss that period of time? It is precisely because she knows how deep the relationship between the eldest young master and the young lady is, that Zhang understands better than anyone else what her words mean. She took a deep breath and said
The past that had been buried in my heart for five years came out.
That day, the weather was indeed very warm. A group of children were clamoring to play in the water, and Wei Linfang wanted to go with them. However, Mrs. Zhang happened to be infected with cold a few days ago, so she kept a distance from her for fear of infecting the young lady.
She didn't trust the young lady to play in the water by herself, even though there were girls following her. However, Wei Linfang kept pleading with her, and finally Zhang relented. She repeatedly asked the girls to take good care of the young lady, and made an appointment to come back.
Let her play when the time comes.
At noon, her eyelids kept twitching and she was restless. She looked at the time and saw that the little lady was supposed to be back but there was no movement. Finally she couldn't sit still. She went to Xiaohu herself while looking for someone to tell the young master.
.
A group of children often played in the water nearby, but as soon as she passed by, she almost fainted. There were many people around the lake. She couldn't hear what others were saying. She only knew that her little girl was nowhere to be found after searching over and over again.
Soon a small person was fished out of the lake. She approached with trembling legs. Wei Linfang's usually red face was pale and she was no longer breathing.
The last scene in her memory was the young master pushing through the crowd and walking over. He seemed anxious, angry, and... his eyes were very red... After she woke up, the first thing she did was to ask the young lady to hurry up and take care of her.
Ask her to whisper, saying that the master is very angry now, and those maids who followed the young lady have been beaten to death. Originally, the master wanted to beat her, but the eldest young master stopped him and said that she cannot be entirely blamed for this matter.
I heard that the young lady was playing hide-and-seek with several other young masters and ladies of the grown-up family by the lake. The young lady accidentally fell into the water, and they ran far away without paying attention for a moment.
The first thing she did after she got off the ground was to go to the lake, where she overheard a conversation that she will never forget in her life.
An eleven or twelve-year-old boy stood aside crying. The person next to him was actually known to Mr. Wen, who was often a guest. Mr. Wen, who had always been an amiable guest, looked serious at this moment: "Are you sure no one else saw it at that time?
"
The little boy was crying with snot and tears in his eyes: "No... There were only two of us there at the time. I just pushed her gently... I didn't mean it. I ran away because I was too scared. I didn't want to kill her."
…”
Wen Tiren was silent for a while: "You did the right thing. I have already dealt with the other servants. If anyone asks in the future, she fell down by herself. You, like others, don't know anything at all. Do you remember this?
That’s how it happened.”
The little boy nodded repeatedly, sniffed and followed Wen Tiren away.
Mrs. Zhang bit her handkerchief tightly to keep from making a sound. It was him, he was the one who pushed the little lady down. If he had called someone in time, the little lady would not have died. It was he who killed the little lady.
Her first reaction was to go find the eldest young master, but she stopped halfway. She thought that Master Wen said that he had dealt with all the other servants. She would not understand what it meant. If she went to find the eldest young master, she would not understand.
Master, this matter will never end like this. When the time comes, I will have no evidence, and as long as the other party refuses to admit it, there is nothing they can do.
And the Wen family knows that they will not let her go just like that if they know their secret. She doesn't care, but what about her family and children? She has never given her son a good mother, so she can't risk his life.
.
The little lady is gone, but her son is still alive... A mother's selfishness made her stop and choose to hide...
"I always dream about the little lady. She calls me mother. She says mother, I'm so cold, mother, I'm scared... She never blames me, even in her dreams. Maybe it's retribution.
Ri suddenly contracted a cold disease, and no matter how many doctors he consulted, nothing could be done. He said that he always saw a little girl looking at him from a distance. I thought maybe the little girl was too lonely by herself. She was
