Dry Dream

Why haven't I seen Aunt Lin? "

"Of course I ran away a long time ago." Mother said casually: "She was brought back when your father was away on business. I heard that she was a lady in trouble and was rescued by your father. She is not from our Yan family. Slave, secondly, it's not that the matchmaker is getting married, but your father just took over the house casually. It has nothing to do with our family if she wants to leave or stay."

I nodded knowingly and said nothing more.

After eating, Huamei cheerfully went to a neighbor's house to invite Aunt Zhao.Mother gave Aunt Zhao a small string of money, which roughly looked like more than 200 Wen.Aunt Zhao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and said that she wanted to offer Yi'er as a living ancestor.

After making arrangements for the family, Mother took a few maids and sister-in-law into the carriage, Qu'er Hong'er drove the carriage, and a group of women started chattering on the road.

My eldest brother and I stood at the door of our house and watched the carriage go further and further, we shook our heads and sighed again.Then we looked at each other and laughed again.This is probably the happiest day for my poor mother and sister-in-law, so let them have fun.

118. The ins and outs

Post time: 05/142010

Turn around and enter the house, let my elder brother wait for me in the inner hall, I have something to say to him.The eldest brother looked a little strange, but he nodded in agreement.

Back in his own room, the accompanying guard was still guarding the door of the bedroom.I went over lightly and opened the door a crack, and saw King Xiaoling still sitting cross-legged on the bed, his complexion looked much better.There was no more smoke from the top of the head, and the seals were removed from both hands, casually resting on his knees.

It seems that he has dispelled the cold and is now doing ordinary exercises.

Generally, this kind of breathing exercise lasts about an hour, and I don't know when he will wake up.

Thinking of this, I waved at the guard and turned to go out.The guard came out to salute and asked what was the matter, and I told him that if the prince woke up, he would find me in the inner hall.He nodded in agreement, and I turned around and went to the inner hall.

The eldest brother was sitting in the hall drinking tea and waiting, looking as if he was thinking about something.Seeing me coming in, the elder brother stood up and closed the door, took my hand and sat down, and asked in a low voice: "Third brother, do you want to ask my uncle why he wanted to harm our family?"

I frowned and nodded, reaching out to pour myself a cup of hot tea.

"Well, if my father hadn't told me about this in prison that day, I wouldn't have known about it." The eldest brother sighed, and said, "The reason why father didn't tell you is because Lord Yao was still there... "Speaking of which, the eldest brother looked at me worriedly.

"Brother, just tell me the truth." I took a sip of tea from the tea bowl and said.

"This happened before father and mother were married." Seeing that I looked normal, my eldest brother continued: "Uncle is a concubine, and uncle's biological mother is the only concubine of grandfather. When father was 16 years old, my grandmother passed away. So he deliberately wanted to be righted. Because in this way, his uncle's status in the family would be equal to that of his father. At that time, my father's nanny was afraid that my aunt would be unfavorable to my father after becoming the main wife, so she gave me advice to get rid of my aunt. My father didn't dare to do it. Seeing that my father was timid, the nanny put arsenic in the food of my grandparents on her own initiative. My grandpa died of poisoning after eating. My grandfather was furious and investigated the matter thoroughly. Later, it was found out that it was my grandmother's fault. The nanny also confessed and committed suicide after signing the indictment. My grandfather asked my father if he knew about it, and my father naturally said he didn't know. The matter ended with the death of the nanny.

At the time, my uncle suspected that my father had ordered the nanny to do this, and the nanny was just my father's scapegoat.Father was also very sorry in his heart, and cared for his uncle to make up for the guilt in his heart.As time passed, my uncle seemed to have forgotten about it, and treated my father like a brother.Later, when my grandfather passed away, my father successfully inherited his grandfather's title and became the Duke of the state, and recommended my uncle to the emperor.Later, the uncle was bestowed by the emperor as the Marquis of Beiding, and granted the land of Suzhou. Only then did the stone in my father's heart fall to the ground, thinking that he had finally made up for the debt he owed his uncle.And my uncle didn't mention what happened back then, and my father thought that he could feel at ease from now on. "

I saw that my elder brother's lips were dry after talking for so long, so I added some hot tea to his tea bowl and served it.The eldest brother took the tea bowl and took a few sips, and said: "Because my mother is seriously ill and difficult to recover, my father has been anxious. My uncle invited Mr. Meng Zi and Mr. Yao to come to the mansion to treat my mother. At first, my father was not careless. Later, I found out that you You and your second younger brother always fought because of Mr. Yao, so you started to doubt in your heart. Because Dad was only suspicious and couldn't find any clues, just in case, Dad sent you and Mr. Yao away separately, intending to break the connection between you .It’s just that I didn’t expect that you would go to rescue Yaojun, and my mother secretly arranged a marriage for you. You should know everything after that.”

I nodded, it turned out to be the case.

"So Uncle really wants to kill Dad?" I asked.

"Yes," the eldest brother replied, "uncle has always hated father in his heart, thinking that his mother was killed by father. When father was in prison, uncle went to settle accounts with father, and poured out all the hatred he had borne for many years. When I went to visit the prison that day, my father told me not to get entangled with my uncle, even if he was beheaded by the emperor, as long as my uncle can let our family go, he will feel at ease."

"So it's not Guo Xinde's complaint to the emperor, but his uncle's complaint to his father?" I asked again.

"Yes." The eldest brother nodded.

"Did Dad tell you anything else?"

"No," said the eldest brother, "that's all Daddy said."

It seems that my father didn't mention the book to my eldest brother, but the meaning of what my father asked me in prison that day seemed to be that he knew something.So, does this disaster at home have anything to do with that book?

"Third brother, about the second brother..." The eldest brother suddenly said hesitantly.

I was startled, and quickly asked, "What?"

"Father already knows." The eldest brother lowered his head and said guiltily, "After Father came home, I told him everything. I said that in order to vent your anger on you, I intentionally caused my second brother to contract the willow disease. I just didn't expect the disease to be so severe. , it was not rescued."

"Then what did he say?" I asked anxiously.

"Father didn't say anything," the eldest brother said sadly, "It's just that Dad has been sitting in the study like a wooden man since then and didn't speak. Mother beat me hard for this matter."

"Brother, you are taking all the blame on yourself." I said very uneasy.

"Third brother, don't think too much about it. I was the only one who did this. You just knew about it and didn't take part in it." The eldest brother patted my hand comfortingly, "Besides, the matter is over, and it's okay to pursue it. In vain. Now that I am interested, my father and mother have embraced their grandson, so they don't care about me anymore."

I am still very uneasy, and always feel that there is something strange about this matter.Although the eldest brother has always defended me, he would not harm others like this, let alone the second brother is a real brother.

Thinking of this, my mind flashed, and I asked, "Brother, where is Yuqian now?"

"Why did you suddenly ask him what he was doing?" the eldest brother said somewhat unnaturally.

"Yuqian has been with you all this time, why didn't you buy him back this time?" I asked looking carefully at my elder brother's expression.

"Uh...he..." The eldest brother hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Tell me! Where is Yuqian now?"

I patted the coffee table impatiently, which startled my elder brother, and blurted out: "He is working with my uncle now." After speaking, my elder brother shrank his neck in shame, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

"Is he the one who gave you the idea of ​​causing second brother to get sick?" I frowned and asked in a low voice.

"This..." The eldest brother lowered his head and faltered.

"Brother, are you still hiding the matter from me?" I stared at my brother and asked.

The eldest brother nodded helplessly, "It was he who gave me the idea, and he was the one who found the sick young lady."

"That is to say, he was responsible for the whole matter of killing the second brother?" I asked again.

"Yeah." The elder brother nodded.

"It seems that house thieves are difficult to guard against..." I unconsciously tapped my fingers on the coffee table and said thoughtfully.

Since it was Yuqian who conceived the idea of ​​causing the second elder brother to get sick, and now Yuqian is working with his uncle, so if they are connected in this way, the uncle's eyeliner that Yao Jun said is probably Yuqian!

Yuqian has been with his eldest brother for many years, and he knows everything about the family.Uncle is so well aware of our family's every move, step by step to bring our family into trouble, it must be Yuqian who is eating and climbing the takeaway seller for glory!

119. How can I satisfy you?

Post time: 05/152010

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard my father's voice coming from the courtyard.

Dad left the study?

I stood up and walked to the door, opened the door a crack, and followed the sound.I saw my father standing respectfully at the door of my house, one of the two guards guarding the door was missing, and the door was open.

Seeing me sneaking a peek, my elder brother didn't dare to make a sound, so he came behind me cautiously and looked out together.

After a while, the guard came out of the room and said to Dad: "Your Majesty, please." Dad bowed and saluted, and entered the room with his head bowed and his clothes fully trimmed.

I closed the door and thought for a while, then said: "My lord is awake, I'll go wash up." After that, I was about to go out.

The eldest brother hurriedly grabbed my wrist and said, "Third brother, what are your plans?"

"What can I plan?" I lowered my eyes and said, "I'm just a servant of the prince, I can only stay in the inner courtyard of the palace, and I can't even go out the door of the inner courtyard." Then he said: "Furthermore, before I left, I had severed my father-son relationship with him, so his business has nothing to do with me."

Having said that, I turned my head to look at my elder brother, "He only has you as his son now, so naturally he won't do anything to you, after all, he still counts on you to provide for his retirement, so you have nothing to worry about. "

"Do you hate dad?" The eldest brother asked sadly.

I turned around and looked at the two hands on the door, and said, "I say I don't hate it, do you believe me?"
