Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]

Layers of water-stained rice paper covered Uncle Changping's terrified face in the ashes. He didn't even have time to let out a cry for help from his throat, and the suffocation from the pavement brought him unprecedented fear.

The air in the lungs became thinner and thinner, Uncle Chang Ping's eyes gradually slackened and turned outwards, He Shi quietly looked at this man who looked like a dying old dog, but there was no kindness in his heart.

In the room, the maid standing behind He's lowered her head lower and lower.The servant girl's shoulders trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to look forward at all from the corner of her eyes. She thought that the madam was determined to want the uncle to die, but there was infinite fear in her heart. When I was about to be secretly disposed of by my wife because I knew too much, I heard the familiar and calm voice of my wife as always——

"I didn't see anything, didn't I see that the rice paper in the room was stained with water, and the ink stains couldn't be seen clearly? If such inferior things stained the uncle's eyes, it would be too soon to punish you, a lowly maid. Are you going to clean it up soon?"

The servant girl trembled when she heard the words, and seeing He looked at herself with a smile on her face, she quickly stepped forward and tore off all the rice paper that was clinging to Uncle Changping's skin, clutching it tightly. hand.

"Ma'am, uncle..." The servant girl looked at Uncle Chang Ping, who was still lying on the bed without any response even after removing the water-soaked rice paper, and pressed her voice with panic and trembling, "It seems, seems to be out of breath?"

"Huh?" He frowned, tried his fingertips on the tip of Uncle Changping's nose, and immediately gave the servant girl a look, "It's useless, uncle just passed out, you go and call an imperial doctor, just say that uncle is critically ill ..."

She paused, and added another sentence: "By the way, ask someone to go to the Bai family's uncle's house and let them know."

The servant girl listened to He's order, and went out of the house with her head bowed, and happened to run into He's personal maid, Yu Zhi, and the two looked at each other, and the maid endured the shock and fright just now and trotted out of the yard.

"Ma'am." Yuzhi entered the room and bowed to Mrs. He, without squinting, never falling on Uncle Changping who was lying on the couch.

Seeing her coming back, Mrs. He asked lightly, "Did you find her?"

Yuzhi stepped forward and squeezed He Shi's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Returning to Madam, all the places in the capital that can be searched have been searched without exception, and there is still no sight of Master Bai Ke and Li Shi. The figure, unless Young Master Bai Ke has climbed up to some powerful figure, otherwise... Yi Nuservant guessed that Young Master Bai Ke and Mrs. Li are probably not in the capital now."

"If you're not in the capital, where can Bai Ke and that bitch Li be?" He sneered in disbelief, "Now that autumn is approaching, Bai Ke is a scholar who has studied hard for several years, I don't believe he is like this Willing to miss this time, besides, the mother and child have no long-term possessions, if they leave this capital, how will they live?"

Yuzhi remained silent.

He rubbed his forehead: "Forget it, continue to send people to search, if you still can't find it, then ask people to guard outside the examination room on the day of Qiu Wei, if you don't believe you can't catch the mother and child."

Yuzhi nodded.

Seeing Yuzhi's silence, He pushed away the hand she was holding on her shoulder, and suddenly asked, "Yuzhi, how many years have you been serving me?"

Yuzhi said: "Since Mrs. Da married into the uncle's house, Yuzhi has been serving you by your side."

He Shifu said again: "It's been so long in the blink of an eye...Yuzhi, have you ever blamed me for not letting you out and be a good family?"

Yuzhi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Yuzhi dare not, it is Yuzhi's blessing in this life to be able to stand by Madam's side and serve her."

The corner of He's mouth curled up into a smile, and he bent down to help Yuzhi's arm, and said with a smile: "I always know your heart, you are my most caring maid, and the little girls next to you are not as good as you serve Alright, me, but I will keep you by my side for a long time."

Hearing this, Yuzhi raised her head slowly, with a grateful smile on her face: "Ma'am."

He comforted Yuzhi, pressed the corners of her lips with an embroidered handkerchief, and then said slowly, "That maid just now..."

Yuzhi raised her eyes in doubt, and asked uncertainly, "... madam?"

He said: "At first, she should be clever, but she is not as calm as you. After today, you can ask the steward to send her away."

Yu Zhi was not familiar with the maid, but she knew that the maid was a servant bought by the housekeeper from the grandmother.

At first hearing that Mrs. He was going to send the other party away, Yuzhi said uncertainly: "She is not a domestic slave in the uncle's house. If she is sent away..." What she thought was that if she was expelled from the house, what if the girl was not a slave? A tight-lipped person, who would have a headache if he leaked out the affairs of the uncle's house, might as well send him to the Zhuangzi, and then assign a servant to watch him closely.

But these words reached He Shi's ears, but He Shi only said indifferently: "Since she is not a domestic slave in the house, I just let her go back and forth from wherever she comes from."

If the slave girl bought from the matriarch is sent back, I also know how difficult the life of the maid will be in the future. If she offends the master's family and won't serve people, the matriarch will definitely not take care of her again. Only to be sent to the land of fireworks...

Yuzhi thought, and couldn't help trembling in her heart, but since Mrs. He had let go, she only thought that the maid was pitiful, but she didn't dare to say a word for her. After answering yes, she continued to serve him carefully around.

When the imperial physician in the palace stepped into the uncle's mansion with a medicine box, several uncles and elders of the Bai clan also came in.

He straightened her clothes and asked Yuzhi to paint her face whiter. Then she pushed the door and went out, pretending to be sad, and told the imperial doctor to come in and see a doctor.

One of the elders of the Bai clan, Uncle Chang Ping's uncle, paced back and forth in the front hall, and the elders of the side branches of the Bai family who were about the same age as him also looked worried and sighed.

As soon as Mr. He showed his face, a group of clan elders came up to ask about the situation.

Covering her face slightly with a handkerchief, He said in a mournful tone: "A few days ago, the imperial doctor who saw the doctor said that my uncle might be able to speak after a while, but today he looks like a Bad..."

Uncle Chang Ping's uncle's old face remained unchanged, but he said in a deep voice: "Uncle is critically ill now, but he has no heirs to take care of him. It's really sad. This old man only sees that Uncle has no successors, so he has no choice but to come forward and ask, Is that concubine's child really missing from the uncle's mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, all the clan elders around him echoed: "Mr. He, you have to tell us the truth about what's going on!"

Mrs. He was waiting here, shed a few tears when he heard the words, and cried: "You clan elders don't know, my son-in-law, who passed away early, was carefully raised in the house, and the reason why he got sick and passed away is all because of his illness. Li Shi framed him! After I found out the truth of each school, I was distraught and questioned Li Shi. I wanted to escort her to the government for interrogation. At that time, he secretly took the prisoner out of the mansion!" Speaking of Li Shi, He's tone was filled with a bit of gnashing of hatred, and it took a long time before he seemed to calm down, and smiled wryly at the several clan elders in the house, " ...It's just that I'm incompetent, and I haven't found the whereabouts of those two people."

"Mr. Li is bold! How dare you murder your son-in-law!" Bai's Tang uncle was furious, and clapped his hands on the case around him, "Then Li's mother and son had a good plan. If you hadn't found out the situation, wouldn't this huge Bai family's ancestral property be a waste of money?" Fall into the hands of such a scheming and vicious mother and son?!"

The clan elder next to him interjected: "Mother Li's mother and son have vicious thoughts, this uncle's mansion must not be handed over to that bastard!"

"But my uncle... has no heirs anymore, alas."

"If the uncle is healthy, we will naturally not be able to say anything, but now the uncle is seriously ill, unable to speak and not good at deeds, this old man only wants to boldly come up with a countermeasure for the future of the Bai family, it is better to adopt from a side branch Excellent children of the Bai family, not to mention their concubines, look for good seedlings from among the legitimate sons who have lost their mothers and fathers, and raise them by the side of the He family. Although they are not as good as the uncle's own sons, they still have the same blood of my Bai family... ..."

When Uncle Changping Botang heard the words, he frowned first, then sighed and said, "That's the only way, Mrs. He, what do you think?"

"Naturally, I listened to the wishes of the clan elders."

From an angle that everyone couldn't see, He squeezed his palms to hide the resentment in his eyes, leaving only a sad and sad gesture.

Seeing He's cooperation, several clan elders thought about the pain of her bereavement, and after discussing, they decided to ask everyone to find a few children who agree with their identity, and bring them to He's in a few days, and then He will make the final decision .

Mrs. He agreed, and soon the imperial physician came out with a medicine box, and everyone surrounded him, only then did he start to care about Uncle Changping's condition.

The imperial doctor stroked his beard and said to everyone: "The old minister has already pricked the uncle's acupuncture point with a golden needle, and the uncle will wake up after a while, but this time the coma is too dangerous. It's hard to know..."

He said worriedly: "Imperial doctor, my uncle, can he still be cured?"

The imperial physician looked at He sympathetically, but shook his head quietly.

Seeing the situation, all the clan elders roughly understood that even if Uncle Chang Ping woke up, he would look like a living dead, so they all sighed together.

The imperial physician and all the elders were sent away, and after another seven days, five young people were sent by the branch of the Bai family, ranging from those who were less than 12 years old to those who were still in their infancy.

Sitting in the main seat, Mrs. He watched the elders of the Bai clan introduce the life experiences of the five children to him one by one. After only a few quick glances, he appointed one of them, who seemed to be the most insignificant, submissive eight-year-old child.

"Xing Yi, call someone." Seeing this, the elder of the Bai clan urged, frowning.

Bai Xingyi, that is, the child who was selected, carefully bowed to Mrs. He, and timidly said: "Madam..."

Mrs. He nodded lightly, with a smile on his face: "From today onwards, you are the master of the uncle's house. After the succession ceremony, you will change your mind."

"Xing Yi knows." Bai Xing Yi lowered his head, Xiao Xiao said yes.

The Bai clan always saw his submissive appearance, and couldn't help asking He clan with some dissatisfaction: "It's him, don't change?"

He smiled, and said slowly: "He is the most similar to my child who died young. When I saw him, I felt that my child seemed to be alive again."

Bai Xingyi knelt down, and when he heard He uttered these words slowly, the nervousness and fear in his heart dissipated a little, and he only secretly raised his eyelids to see He's appearance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he saw He's looking at him with a peeking, shadowy gaze.

The young man was emotionally sensitive, Bai Xingyi shuddered all over, and infinite fear emerged in his heart.

……

The news that Uncle Changping had adopted an offspring to his knee spread like wildfire in Beijing. Before Bai Guo returned to Beijing a few months ago, he was completely focused on Uncle Changping's mansion, but he really didn't notice so many things happened in Uncle Changping's mansion.

After listening to the old lady beside her, Bai Guo took a bite of the lychee and said curiously: "It's been a long time since I've been back to Beijing, but I haven't seen this brother who was adopted to the uncle's house..."

The old mother said slowly: "I heard that after His Majesty returned to Beijing, Mrs. Bai Xingyi was invited by Madam Uncle to enter the palace to be his son. It was at the beginning of last month. But after the uncle's mansion established a son, Mrs. Uncle ordered someone to teach the son in the mansion. Since then, he never showed up in Beijing, so it is not surprising that the princess has never seen her."

Bai Guo nodded, and picked up a lychee, but was stopped by the nanny halfway.

"Nurse?" Bai Guo innocently turned her head to look at her.

The old woman bent down following the ceremony, but her hands did not loosen at all, and she said helplessly: "Princess, when you were chatting with this old slave just now, you have already eaten three more lychees... Excuse me, the lychee It's sweet, but you really can't use it too much today."
