Zhang Yunniang glanced at her and said, "Old sister, don't bother you with this little thing. I'll wash it for her. Please go and boil a bucket of water and give it to Lord Sun later."

Zhang Yunniang also handed the old woman three copper coins in a very polite manner.

The old woman looked at the three copper coins and thought of the one or two taels of silver promised by Li Yuanwai. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly her eyes went dark and her body fell to one side uncontrollably.

"Old sister? Old sister?" Zhang Yunniang shouted hurriedly.

Gu Yan took two steps forward and helped the old woman up.

Even though the old woman was not conscious, she still stretched out her hand and said to Zhang Yunniang, "Let me... let me serve... the young lady..."

Zhang Yunniang didn't think much about it when she heard this. She just thought that the old woman was only thinking about work. She couldn't help but mutter that the rules of this wealthy family were really good. The old woman of such an old age was still so diligent.

"Old sister, please sit down and rest for a while, and calm down." Zhang Yunniang comforted her, and helped her sit on a chair beside her.

The old woman was still thinking about helping Niu Niu take a bath, but just when she wanted to move, she found that she had no strength in her body, so she could only watch Zhang Yunniang pull Niu Niu into the small compartment.

The old woman was outside listening to the sound of the bathing water in the room, and tried to rush in several times, but just as she moved, her whole body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Bang".

Her forehead hit the ground heavily, and Gu Zhao and Gu Yan, who were beside her, felt pain when they heard the sound.

In the eyes of the two children, the old woman's forehead swelled up as big as a baby's fist in a few breaths, which looked very scary.

Gu Yan wanted to help her, but the old woman's body was as heavy as a mountain, and he could only help her sit on the ground with all his strength.

"Please wait for a moment. When my mother finishes bathing my sister, she will call someone to help you go back." Gu Yan said.

The young boy's politeness and thoughtfulness were seen as easy to talk to by the old woman. She took the initiative to say: "Young master, help me in. I want to help your sister take a bath."

Gu Yan sighed and said: "Why are you doing this? You are in this state, and you are still thinking about it..."

As Gu Yan spoke, his eyes suddenly became alert.

It was just to help with the bathing, but the old woman's behavior was too abnormal, as if she had some ulterior motives.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yan asked: "Mother-in-law, you are so eager to go in and help. Does the master have any special instructions? Don't worry, even if the master asks, we will speak well of you."

After the old woman bumped into a big bump, her head became more dizzy. She felt dazed when she heard Gu Yan's voice, as if she was in a dream.

People in dreams are not very defensive about everything.

"I...I have to go into the house...see the birthmark..." the old woman said stumblingly.

Gu Yan's eyes instantly became sharp.

Niu Niu came home last year, and he still remembered the disturbance at home that day.

After seeing the birthmark on Niu Niu's arm, grandma went against all odds to adopt Niu Niu.

Although he didn't know why the old woman wanted to see the birthmark, Gu Yan instinctively felt that he couldn't let her do what she wanted so easily.

He suppressed his displeasure and asked the old woman: "Mother-in-law, why do you want to see the birthmark?"

The old woman was confused and still not on guard at all: "Master... Master ordered... to see... give one or two silvers..."

Gu Yan's fists clenched instantly.

"Why does he care about this kind of thing?" Gu Yan continued to ask.

The old woman said: "I... I don't know anything about the master's family..."

Those who care about Niu Niu's birthmark are probably related to her life experience.

Gu Yan couldn't help but guess in his heart, is Niu Niu the lost child of the Li family? He just looked at the luxurious furnishings that were obviously not suitable for a country family, as well as the large green-tiled courtyard.

The Li family was obviously not short of money, so why did they lose Niuniu? They hadn't been looking for her in all these years?

Perhaps because he didn't want his sister to leave the Gu family, it was difficult for Gu Yan to speculate about the Li family with good intentions.

He could still hear the sound of water in the house, accompanied by the laughter of the mother and daughter in the inner room.

He had noticed the abnormal state of the old woman a long time ago, and quickly made a decision, whispering in the old woman's ear: "The young lady of the Gu family has no birthmark on her body, no birthmark..."

He didn't know if such a hint would work. Now he didn't know what the situation of the Li family was, and he couldn't let his sister get involved.

Seeing that he couldn't ask more about the old woman, Gu Yan simply didn't bother to care about her, got up and walked to the table next to him.

After leaving him, the old woman almost rushed to reincarnate, and fell to the ground sideways.

Another heavy "dong".

Gu Zhao wanted to help her, but was stopped by Gu Yan.

When his elder brother asked questions just now, Gu Zhao did not eavesdrop, but took out the cricket hidden in his purse and played with it for a while. He did not pay attention to the conversation between the two at all. At this time, he could not help but ask: "Brother, should we not help her?"

Gu Yan shook his head and said: "We can't keep staring at her. If we help her, she will fall to the ground again. It's better not to do anything."

Gu Zhao thought about it, nodded, and said: "That's right, lying on the ground will not cause any harm."

The old woman really lay on the ground quietly. She felt that countless scenes flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, as if she had experienced a lifetime in a short time.

After helping Niuniu take a bath, Zhang Yunniang took the little girl to open the door. She was shocked to see a person lying on the ground. After seeing clearly, she immediately looked at Gu Yan with an inquiring look.

"If you help her up, she will fall to the ground. It's better to lie down." Gu Yan said casually.

Her eldest son has always been a well-behaved and sensible child. Zhang Yunniang didn't think much about it after hearing this, but stepped over the old woman.

"You lie down first, I'll call someone to help you." After saying this, Zhang Yunniang ran to the gate of the yard to call for people.

But the other old woman who was originally responsible for serving in the guest house didn't know where she ran to at this time.

Zhang Yunniang turned around and saw that the old woman who was lying on the ground like dead suddenly sat up, and she didn't seem to be as weak as before.

The old woman asked, "Did I help the young lady bathe just now?"

Just as Zhang Yunniang was about to answer, Gu Yan said first, "Yes, you just helped my sister bathe."

The old woman's face lit up. She thought she had just dreamed, but it turned out to be true. She just couldn't figure out why her head hurt so much.

She remembered the silver in her heart, struggled to get up, and didn't even take the three copper coins, stumbling towards the main courtyard.

Zhang Yunniang looked at her back and felt that it was not appropriate. She couldn't help shouting, "Old sister, please walk slower!"

As soon as Zhang Yunniang finished speaking, the old woman tripped over her left foot and fell flat on her face, which scared Zhang Yunniang again.

The old woman had a big cut on her forehead, but she didn't take it seriously. She got up and shook her body and continued to run towards the main courtyard.

"This old woman, why don't you want the bucket for hot water?" Zhang Yunniang muttered in a low voice.

Gu Yan naturally understood why the old woman was anxious. He glanced at Gu Zhao and Niuniu, told them to continue writing big characters, and then pulled Zhang Yunniang into the inner room.

The door of the inner room was open. Gu Yan found a position where he could see Niuniu and Gu Zhao in the outer room, and said to his mother in a low voice: "Mom, Mr. Li may be my sister's biological father."
