After getting new clues from Zhou, Lianyi waited at home every day for Shu Qing to come out at night, and then went to Dongyun Temple to ask Xuanqing about Ruan Lianyi's childhood.

But she waited hard for three days until she was so upset that she felt ashamed, but Shu Qingwan did not appear for a long time.

This day was the last autumn sacrifice in the family. After the sacrifice, Master Ruan took down the family tree of the Ruan family from the high hanging plaque in the ancestral hall, saying that he wanted to invite the elders of the family to name An Lian's "unborn" child.

Regardless of An Lian's condition, this child will be "born" anyway, and it must be a boy, so Master Ruan is imperative to name it, and has left the clan elders waiting for him in the front hall.

When Lian Yi was holding the family tree wrapped in oil paper and went to the front hall with Master Ruan, An Lian and Mrs. Zhou were already sitting at the end of the front hall. The elders got up together and bowed their heads to greet the arrival of the family tree.

Lian Yi and Master Ruan walked to the main seat, and Master Ruan took over the family tree and put it on a wooden shelf before motioning for everyone to sit down.

Afterwards, the clan elders began to pass on the family tree. Lian Yi was the youngest in generation, and Lian Yi was the last one passed on except for women who could not peep.

She opened her eyes and looked at the name of the seniority written by the elders in the clan, remembering the past of "Ruan Yuchan" Zhou said, looking up, she naturally went to check Ruan Lianyi's name.

Sure enough, Ruan Yuchan's name was impressively below Zhou's name, and there were ink marks of different shades beside it: The second daughter of the Ruan family, Yuchan's sixth birthday, Ruan Chengying bestowed small characters, Lianyi.

It turned out that what Zhou said was true.

Ruan Lianyi was not called Ruan Lianyi at first, but Ruan Yuchan, and this Ruan Yuchan suddenly changed her name for some reason.

And it just so happens that this name is exactly the same as her name before time travel.

It's amazing.

It seems that to solve this mystery, the only way to solve it is to ask Xuan Qing.

Lian Yi closed the family tree, wrote down the name he wanted, and exchanged opinions with other clan elders.

The clan elders discussed for an hour, and finally selected five relatively satisfactory names. Grandpa Ruan wrote the five names one by one on the paper, and then put them together with the family tree, waiting for An Lian's child to be officially "born" Then, re-select according to the time of birth.

After An Lian saw Master Ruan writing down the five names, he felt very happy. On the way back to the west courtyard, he shyly followed Lian Yi all the way.

As soon as they entered the west courtyard, An Lian suddenly asked shyly, "Sir, can the girls in our family be named without following the seniority in the genealogy?"

Lianyi remembered that Zhou said that Ruan Lianyi's original name was determined by Congyu, so he shook his head: "Probably not, no matter whether it is a woman or a man in the family, names must be chosen according to seniority."

An Lian's eyes dimmed, and he pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Lian Yi felt that there seemed to be something wrong with An Lian's recent situation, but she inquired about An Lian's trajectory in private every day, and she didn't feel that there was anything abnormal.

She thought of Ruan Lianyi's special situation, so she comforted her: "It's not necessarily true. If my daughter has a name she likes, she can choose it as a small character. It doesn't matter."

An Lian's eyes regained brightness, and he happily said, "Can we do this too?"

"Of course." Lian Yi smiled, "This matter is not without precedent, anyway, it is possible."

"I understand." An Lian responded with a sweet smile.

The two walked a few more steps quietly, and when they were approaching the door of the jumpsuit room, An Lian suddenly asked again: "Sir, has sister Shu not been here for a while?"

Lian Yi stood still in front of the door, feeling depressed, and replied: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Didn't elder sister Shu often come to see my husband before? Why don't you come now." An Lian said, with a sense of disappointment on his face, which was not very similar, "Sister Shu, did you quarrel with elder sister Shu?" ?”

"We didn't quarrel, maybe she was delayed by something?" Lian Yi was a little upset, and responded casually.

An Lian carefully approached a little distance: "Yes, what Xianggong said is that Sister Shu must be delayed by other things, right? But Xianggong... If one day, Sister Shu changes her mind, will you agree?" ..."

An Lian's words pierced into Lian Yi's heart, her heart ached for a moment, and she said coldly: "If it changes, it will change, she has always been... free, if she changes Well, don’t force yourself.”

An Lian saw that Lian Yi's expression was a little bit bad, so she didn't dare to say anything further, and said in a flattering voice, "Sir, I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously."

"No matter what happens to Sister Shu, Lian'er will always be with you, don't worry."

What An Lian said was weird, but after Lian Yi's heart was pierced by An Lian's words, her heart became a mess. She knew that there was something wrong with these words, but she no longer had the heart to analyze what An Lian said. What does it mean.

Lian Yi casually replied "Got it" in a distraught manner, pushed the door open and entered the room, leaving An Lian outside the door alone with a smile on her face.

Lianyi lay on the bed for a long time, tossing and turning more and more uncomfortable, and finally simply put on his clothes and got up, thinking of going to the street to get some air.

It was late afternoon outside, and the sun was showing its power for a while, but it was showing signs of weakness, and people also took advantage of the sun's decline to come out collectively for activities.

Lian Yi casually bought a pack of jujube cakes on the street, and walked while eating. She remembered the good times when she and Shu Qingwan were in Yuan Town together, and for some reason, she walked to the vicinity of Shu's residence without knowing it.

When she regained consciousness, she had already walked under the courtyard wall outside Shu Qingwan's courtyard, and was staring blankly at the wall in front of her.

Thinking that she came looking for Shu Qingwan again for no reason, Lian Yi felt annoyed. She was about to turn her head and leave when she suddenly heard an old voice calling "Miss".

Lian Yi looked back, and saw an old woman standing in the alley by the side door of Shu's house. She was holding a vegetable basket in her hand. Seeing Lian Yi turning her head, she was stunned for a moment up.

After a while, she suddenly ran over in a hurry, grabbed Lianyi's hand, and said excitedly, "Are you... Miss Ruan Lianyi?"

Lian Yi looked confused, but when she heard the other party call out "Miss Ruan Lianyi", her heart tightened and she became vigilant.

Lianyi smiled elegantly, and showed Ruan Linyi's gentle appearance: "Old lady, you have misunderstood the person. I am Ruan Linyi, the son of the Ruan family, not Miss Ruan Lianyi. has passed away."

The old woman stared at Lianyi without blinking her eyes, and murmured for a long time: "It's too similar, it's really too similar."

"Yes, sister sister and the next mother's compatriot are naturally similar." Lian Yi continued to smile calmly, "Who are you, old lady? Why do you know my sister sister?"

The old woman stared at her for a while before retracting her gaze, and then her eyes gradually turned red: "Master was not at home often, so he must not recognize the old woman. The old woman used to be an old woman who cleaned clothes in the Ruan Mansion. The clothes that are often washed are Miss Lianyi's clothes."

"Miss Lian Yi is kind-hearted. If I didn't wash well before, she would never say anything about me when she saw her. What a wonderful person she is..."

"I should have known she was gone, I should have known..."

After being told by the old woman, Lian Yi remembered it.

In Ruan Lianyi's memory, she had indeed met this person several times. In each memory fragment, the old woman was squatting next to a sink, working hard.

When I saw her passing by, I occasionally raised my head and smiled at her a few times.

Judging from the situation, this old lady should have been sold off and sent out of the Ruan Mansion after the assassination incident, otherwise, she should not have seen her since she came here because of her loyalty.

Although he is not someone I know, but being able to meet an old friend for Ruan Lianyi, it is also a kind of fate.

Lian Yi asked politely, "How is the old lady doing now? Where do you work?"

"It's good, it's good." Hearing Lian Yi's question, the old woman burst into laughter, "I'm working in the Shu Mansion, and I still help people clean their clothes, and now I'm in charge of Miss Shu's clothes."

"Miss Shu's Mansion is the same as our Miss Ruan. They are both good people, rare good people."

How could it be Shu Qingwan, how could this matter be such a coincidence.

Lian Yi thought about it, with mixed emotions in her heart, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, Miss Shu, she is indeed a very good person."

The old woman wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve, and said with emotion: "Isn't it, she was suffering for our young lady back then. It's all..."

"What?" Lian Yi was very surprised, "You said Shu Qingwan knelt down for you?"

"Yes, alas..." the old woman said sadly.

Lian Yi grabbed the old woman's sleeve and said anxiously, "Why did you kneel down, tell me!"

"My lord, don't worry, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The old woman said with sadness in her eyes, "That year, Miss Lianyi was conspired to die, and there were not many people in Ruan's mansion. People know that Master Ruan sent us away, gave us a lot of money, and begged those people we knew not to tell these things."

"We took the money and naturally kept our promise. Later, a monk from the temple found me and spent a lot of money to invite me to Dongyun Temple and asked me what happened in the Ruan Mansion."

"Of course I can't say that Miss Lianyi treated me so well in the past. Of course I can't say that at that time, besides the monk, Miss Shu was also there. She knelt down and kowtowed to me while crying. It was bleeding, and I felt very distressed when I saw it."

"Such a beautiful little girl, kowtowed with blood all over her face. I don't think they have any malicious intentions. In the end, I had no choice but to say a little bit."

"Then I found out that Ms. Shu had already visited Ruan's house at that time. She went to find Miss Lianyi, but at that time, the Ruan's family suffered a sudden change, so who would have time to deal with such a little girl of unknown origin? I suffered a lot, alas..."

"Later, after more than a year, Ms. Shu found me again and asked me about my situation back then. After seeing that my life was difficult, she recruited me into Shu's mansion again to wash clothes for her, and asked me to Don't tell anyone about the past."

"Miss Shu at that time, it really made everyone feel distressed..."

Lian Yi thought about the last words of the old laundry woman, and returned home in a daze. She found Fu Bo, the oldest housekeeper in the family, and after asking, she found out that Shu Qingwan really came to Ruan's mansion to look for Ruan Lianyi.

After careful questioning, I found out that Shu Qingwan came not only once but twice as the old woman said, and both times he was rejected, and he described himself as haggard and miserable.

In Uncle Fu's words: "At that time, I didn't even know she was Miss Shu's. She kept standing outside our house and knocked on the door. Our young lady kowtowed to me later, her good forehead was broken, alas..."

"But at that time, our family was undergoing a sudden change. Naturally, there was no way to entertain her. How could I let her in? Who knows if she is..."

"At that time, her clothes were also dirty and her hair was messy. Who knew she was a young lady from the Shu family. When she reappeared more than a year later, she said she was a young lady from the Shu family. I was shocked. One jump."

"But she doesn't seem to remember what happened before. After she came, she never asked about Miss Lian Yi again."

The housekeeper's words made Lian Yi feel extremely distressed.

Just thinking about the words of these two people, you can know how sad and sad Shu Qingwan was when he found out that Ruan Lianyi had passed away.

It seems that she should really ask Shu Qingwan about these things.

Lian Yi thought about it, and wanted to wait until after dark, then put on the night clothes, and then go to the Shu Mansion, but before it got dark, a young monk came outside the door.

Fu Bo came to report, saying that the young monk claimed to find Ruan Linyi, the son of the Ruan family, and said that he had something important to say.

Lian Yi went outside the door, but she didn't expect the little monk outside the door to be her little brother Liao Ming.

Liao Ming saw her and bowed politely to her: "Master Liao Hui said that the benefactor has a fatal fate recently, I hope you will meet her as soon as possible."

Before Lian Yi could speak, Liao Ming bowed to her with his palms up, then turned around and disappeared into the bustling crowd in the blink of an eye.
