Chapter 23

 All kinds of things flashed in front of you that day.

It was a rainy late autumn. Xiao Duan had been ill for half a year. As winter approached, he became increasingly unable to withstand the cold weather.

The third uncle also lost a lot of weight, and his temples were covered with white hair. He worked with the fourth uncle to get some wooden tiles back, and at least repaired the damaged roof.

My aunts are also sick, and they are weak. Fortunately, my two younger brothers have grown up and can help the family share some of their burdens.

Lin Yunyan went to visit them.

Chen wiped his tears and said quietly: "The old lady has enjoyed the glory and wealth of her whole life, but in the last days, she couldn't even simmer a charcoal basin. I have been in charge of the Lin family for so many years, and the husband's junior high school has gone in and out so much money. How could I get one day, the money I handled is not as good as the money I gave me a month."

The more you are in charge, the more you know the bitterness of food, food, oil and salt.

What made Chen feel relieved was the money sent by the two maids who had previously released it.

"The old lady is generous and has good fate," Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "If we hadn't been to them before, we wouldn't have come to help us secretly. The old lady's medicine money for the past two months has been settled."

Madam Ruan fell down a few days ago and it was inconvenient to walk.

Qingyan volunteered to get medicine.

The broken silver cost ten taels, but it doesn't look much, but it's very heavy.

Madam Ruan was afraid that someone would snatch it away, so she asked Qingyan to stuff it into her purse and then hang it in her clothes, and repeatedly told her.

I left until it was dark and I didn't come back.

The fourth uncle went to the medicine shop, and the doctor who was sitting in the hall, and the medicine boy who prepared medicine, said that he had never seen anyone.

Lin Yunyan borrowed Chanchen to help and asked around the streets and alleys. Several people were handing a little, and they all clicked to the gate of Xicheng.

Qingyan went out of the city.

Where do you need to leave the city when buying medicine?

Madam Ruan didn't believe it. After dawn the next day, she dragged her injured leg to the city gate and asked, saying that her niece was lost.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw her pitiful and recalled it, saying that the woman hurried out of the city.

Qingyan took away not only the money to buy medicine, but also the tone in Xiao Duan's heart.

The family business was defeated, and the imperial power was defeated. This was not her personal fault.

Throughout history, many nobles and nobles have ended in this way.

But she always thought that she was kind to others in her life, and she was stabbed by others, but everyone around her worked together.

Chen's words were also what Xiao Duan thought.

But Qingyan proved that there is not that close between kindness and betrayal.

Some people, no matter how well they treat them, will still fly away when the disaster strikes.

In the next half month, Lin Yunyan also tried to find Qingyan.

It’s not that she is unwilling to accept the facts, but if they can prove that Qingyan’s disappearance has other hidden information, it will at least make Xiao Duan feel more at ease.

The result is of course the opposite.

Xiao Duan's journey was in great pain.

She knew that she could not survive the winter, and she did not allow her younger generations to spend another penny on her.

The old lady, who has been in a life of thin face and puts her own decency and family decency first, went crazy before she died and refused to let her children and grandchildren be filial to her.

She became a hard-to-serve old woman known to everyone by her neighbors, in order to make her children and grandchildren less famous for being "unfilial".

Smash the medicine bowl, smash the rice bowl, and drink at most a few sips of water.

After smashing it a few times, I didn't dare to buy medicine anymore and prepare her with a crumb-free food.

It was because of the fact that my father was so sad and angry that he could kneel in front of his grandmother's couch.

And those scenes have been deeply engraved in Lin Yunyan's mind after so many years.

Aside, Madam Ruan and Madam Cen exchanged glances.

The princess had a sudden attack, and they didn't understand the whole story.

Madam Ruan was a little better. Because the old lady wanted Gao An to do business, she knew that the masters were discussing business behind closed doors, but that was limited to it.

They didn't know what the princess asked Qingyan.

Since the old lady wanted Qingyan to speak, the nannies were of course obedient. Then I mentioned the afternoon matter in one word.

But now, the princess's expression looked wrong.

There was sadness in the anger, and the grievance and sorrow were clearly written on the face.

When did the princess show such emotions in front of others?

When I saw someone, I couldn't help feeling distressed!

Madam Cen and Madam Ruan had a lawsuit, waved her hand secretly, turned around and went straight to the room where Qingyan lived.

The atmosphere in the main house was solemn, and the rest of the staff had long avoided it.

At this moment, the few people in the same room as Qingyan stood in the corner with their necks curled up, and they didn't dare to look at Madam Cen.

Madam Cen asked: "Where does Qingyan collect the money on weekdays?"

Qing Ling pointed to the small wooden box on the inside of the bed board.

Madam Cen climbed up and took it to see it. There was nothing wrong with it.

She had no choice but to go through Qingyan's clothes again.

Seeing this, Qing Ling thought: "Ma Cen, did Qingyan bring in something that she shouldn't have brought in before the evening?"

Madam Cen turned her head and asked her: "Did you see it?"

"I didn't see it," Qing Ling said, "I went into the house and saw her crawling out from under the bed. She was shocked when she saw me."

Madam Cen narrowed her eyes.

Asked Qing Ling to light a candle, Madam Cen bent down and pulled out a small bag of cloth from the deepest corner of the wall.

When she opened it, Madam Cen sneered.

Then, she picked up the cloth bag, strode back to the main house, and placed it directly on the few sons next to Xiao Duan.

A thud.

Madam Cen was also very light-hearted, but she was really too heavy.

Xiao Duan looked closely and saw a golden hairpin, a pair of southern bead earrings, and more than a dozen small silver turtles, the largest of which were two silver ingots.

The word "花" can be said to be a daily reward, and the accumulation of small amounts is more than that. Xiao Duan can't remember how much he rewarded in the past, but the silver ingots, she rewarded five taels of silver ingots last time, but the youngest daughter was holding her granddaughter who had been over 100 days to see her. That was five years ago!

And weren’t the golden hairpin and earrings the two she lost in the beginning of spring?

"It was turned out from under the bed." Madam Cen reported.

Xiao Duan's eyes were dark: "The maid next to me is like this. I'm very disappointed. You take her down and sell it from afar, right?"

Madam Cen and Madam Ruan immediately came up to drag people down.

Lin Yunyan stretched out her hand and weighed the silver ingot: "Don't you scold me?"

Xiao Duan shook his head with a wry smile.

Lin Yunyan was not surprised by this.

My grandmother never said bad words when she opened her mouth, and she wouldn't even be dirty or dirty.

It is not important to scold the maid who can't bear to blame the master. What my grandmother should learn most is to scold the shameless Duke Xu's mansion.

It seems that I have to give my grandmother more tutoring.

In the yard, Qingyan, who was confused by Lei Lifengxing, finally came back to her senses and struggled hard.

"I didn't make up random things, the princess said it himself. I can only sympathize with the second wife... Woo woo woo woo woo!"

Madam Cen shook her hand and poked the handkerchief that had just been stuffed into Qingyan's mouth a little deeper.

"You stole the things, you took the money," Madam Cen was angry, "What's your name!"
