Chapter 15
And, in fact, that's what I doubted.I don't think my younger brother got smallpox by accident.But I can't check it now.

Sister Wenyan, you should know how to get your mother's attention.But don't let my mother know that I am in charge, and I will apologize to my mother later.

Can you do this well?

"Miss, don't worry. Wen Yan will try her best to do her best. Miss, you are still young and your body is weak now, so you should rest more. I have read this book for a while, so put it down and rest for a while." Wen Yan looked at Daiyu's eyes were full of pity.Miss is really too sensible, sensible people feel distressed.The daughters of other families are still acting like a baby in their mother's arms, but the young lady has to worry about her family.

"I know, I'll sleep later. You go first." Daiyu watched Wenyan go out and close the door gently, but couldn't help sighing.

Daiyu really doesn't have much confidence now, she doesn't know when she will be able to make the Yuan Pei Talisman, and she doesn't know if her mother can wait until then.

A few days later, before Daiyu could think of a better way to improve her mother's health, she heard that her mother had vomited blood.

Daiyu couldn't care less about anything else, so she put on a cloak and hurried to the main courtyard.At this time, the main room was in chaos, and no one noticed Daiyu's arrival.I saw the big maid next to my mother was wiping sweat and pouring water in a hurry. There was a woman kneeling on the ground. There was a puddle of water and a broken teacup right in front of her. At this time, no one was there. bother.Daiyu took a closer look, and found that it belonged to Zhou Rui's family next to her second aunt. No wonder she felt familiar just now, and she really was an old acquaintance.It seems that the reason why the mother vomited blood was on her body.Glancing at Wen Yan who was following her, she motioned for her to calm everyone down.

"Didn't you see Miss is here? Why are you panicking? Calm down, what should you do?" The chaotic room finally quieted down.Everyone turned their heads and saw that their young lady was standing there. She was a small person standing there without speaking, but it made people feel her majesty, and she added a bit of refined fairy air, which made people dare not offend.

After the flurry of greetings, I heard Daiyu's division of labor and command as crisp as Huangying.

"Sister Xintao, have you sent someone to invite a doctor? If not, send someone there quickly. Isn't there a Mr. Xu who is enshrined in the mansion? Please come over and show your mother first. Sister Xinlan, you are here to guard your mother. What's the matter?" Report the matter in time. Sister Xinhe, come and tell me, what happened to my mother? Why did she vomit blood? Who caused it? First tie her up."

"Yes. Miss, that's how it is. Kneeling on the ground, this is the house of Zhou Rui, the companion of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing. The wife was resting today, but when she heard the report that someone from the Rongguo Mansion had come, she called in for questioning." Then the wife asked a few words and the man handed over a letter. We don’t know what was written in the letter, but the wife’s face changed when she read the letter, as if she was extremely angry. We were about to persuade her, but the wife I cursed at this person a few times, but before I finished speaking, I vomited blood, and then passed out. Miss, please read, this is the letter."

Daiyu took the letter.The letter paper has been crumpled badly, but I can imagine how angry my mother was just now.Daiyu read it from beginning to end without missing a single word, and she also knew why her mother was so angry.

My mother has been married into the Lin family for nearly 20 years, but she has not been able to carry on the lineage of the Lin family, leaving only her own daughter. She gave birth to a younger brother and died not long ago. This has always been on the mother's mind.I don't know how many bitter medicines I drank these years, how many gods and Buddhas I begged, and my body was ruined, but I didn't leave an heir to the Lin family. On the one hand, my mother endured the gossip from the outside world, and on the other hand, she blamed herself. It was really bitter.However, the letter brought by Zhou Rui's family pierced into the mother's heart every word.

It just means that the mother is not blessed and cannot leave an heir to the Lin family. She also said that she is not blessed, and her younger brother who just died is even more so. Let the mother accept her fate and stop making trouble.Besides, how smart Baoyu is, has a history, it is auspicious to be born with jade, and the eldest cousin Yuan Chun, who entered the palace, is blessed on the first day of the new year, etc. These are all words that poke my mother's heart. angry.

But Daiyu didn't think her mother would vomit blood just because of this letter.My mother has always been at odds with my second aunt, and I seldom communicate with each other on weekdays. Even when they mention it, they mostly disagree with each other, and it can even be said that they don't like each other.Therefore, it is normal for the second aunt to write such a letter, and the mother should also know that it is right not to take it to heart, so how could she be so angry?There should be other things in it.

"Sister Xinhe, did mother talk about other things in the past two days that made mother sad or angry? Or did she do anything? Who did she meet?" Daiyu looked at the slim woman in front of her with a serious face. heart charge.This person was trained by the son of the family chosen by the mother later, and both parents were in charge of the Lin family's Zhuangzi.It has nothing to do with the Jia family, or with the second aunt. Because of her safe handling, she has always been trusted by her mother.

Xinhe looked around, hesitated to speak.

Daiyu took Xinhe to the West Wing, then pushed away the people around her, and then took a look at Xinhe, beckoning her to continue talking.

I saw Xin He gritted her teeth, knelt down, and lowered her head.

Miss, this matter actually has something to do with the young master.Two days ago, my wife heard some rumors, saying that the young master's illness was strange, because no one in our house suffered from smallpox.The wife thought about it and found it reasonable, so she asked the subordinates to investigate.This investigation turned out to be the young master's wet nurse.

This wet nurse was originally the wife's dowry girl, and was sent back by the wife when the young master was gone.Unexpectedly, the nurse was found dead in her own home within a few days after returning home. Everything in the house was looted, not even a piece of paper was left.

The wife was suspicious, so she asked someone to investigate, and it turned out that the wet nurse had been in frequent contact with two women from Beijing recently. After further investigation, it turned out that the wet nurse's husband had lost in a casino some time ago and owed a lot of money. He was beaten badly by the debt collectors, and because he had no money to repay the debt, he used his daughter to repay the debt, but they still refused to let him go.After that, two women went to her house, and not long after that, her daughter was released and the debt was paid off.Some say the wet nurse has been furtive since then.

After the young master disappeared, the wet nurse never came out after returning home. Later, someone went to his house to borrow something and found that the wet nurse was killed at home, and everything in the house was looted. The nurse's husband was also found dead in outside the city.

No evidence was found from the wet nurse, so the wife asked someone to check the clothes left by the young master.It was discovered that, in addition to the ones burned before, there were those left by his wife, and the rest was missing a bellyband. The maid who served the young master said that the wet nurse would not let them touch the young master's clothes before the young master fell ill, but what did the young master wear? They still remembered, and found that the apron that the young master was wearing before he fell ill was gone.
