Scheme of the Official Descendant

This time, Lao Luo was stunned for a long time. When Ren Yaoqi thought she had passed out, Luo Lao finally spoke. Her voice had the dullness and vicissitudes of the old man: "The slave servant was the second-class next to the young lady of the Zhai family. Maid."

"What is Han Dongshan's real name?"

Lady Luo looked at Ren Yaoqi and struggled for a long time: "Zhai, he is the young master of the Zhai family, Zhai Yaozu."

Ren Yaoqi thought of Xia Sheng and said that Han Dongshan was previously called the grandfather, and his name matched.

"He was very young when he left Yanbei. Do you remember his appearance?"

"Zhai, the slave maidservant of Master Han only took a look that day, but the first I recognized was Young Master Han, who looked very similar to Grandma Zhai, especially his eyes." Luo Lama paused, "Go The servant girl was shocked when I met Young Master Han at Ren’s family, and the lady, you asked me to come over and inquire about Qu’s family. The servant girl did not know anyone from the Qu family, but the servant girl felt that what you wanted to ask was actually about the Zhai family. That day, Shui Ai was clamoring to go out of the house. The servant girl thought of the young master Han. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he found out about the residence of the Han family. The Han family was also a big family, and the servant girl was naturally unable to enter. I just tried my luck and didn’t want to see Zhai. Old lady Han came out of the house... The slave maid had taken care of the young master of the Zhai family for a while, so she recognized him. At that time, the slave girl was taken aback and ran away. But the slave was always in her heart. I was a little uneasy, so I wanted to check it this afternoon to make sure. I didn’t want to be discovered by Young Master Han, and he chased him up."

Ren Yaoqi was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "What was the grudge between the Zhai family and the Ren family back then?"

Luo Pozi's face became paler, her complexion was dull. There was no blood on his face at this moment, and it looked as if he was covered with a layer of death.

"Miss Fifth, the maidservant hasn't had a good life for a few years when he gets older, but it's enough to live to the age of the maidservant. But the maidservant is really worried about getting into the water. This child was picked up by the maidservant and waited for the slave's legs. She is helpless at the first step. Can you, can you be merciful to take her by your side as a maid?"

Luo Pozi's request now is obviously to negotiate terms with Ren Yaoqi. If Ren Yaoqi is willing to take in Shui Ai, she will tell what she knows.

High-ranking people don't like being threatened, and Ren Yaoqi is no exception, not to mention that Luo Pozi is originally a servant of Ren's Zhuangzi. However, at the murky and expectant gaze of the old lady Shang Luo, Ren Yaoqi still said quietly: "I can keep her, and I will put her in my room if I look at it later." If it is not suitable, she will too. Won't want it.

She can understand Luo Pozi’s feelings. It doesn’t matter if there is one more maid in the Ren family mansion, but to come to serve her, she needs to get her approval first. Not everyone can be a personal maid. Ren Yaohua’s fate is a good example. .

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi did not refuse, Luo Pozi hurriedly said, "Miss Fifth, don't worry, Shui Ai is pure in nature and she is not stupid. If you let someone teach her, she can learn everything."

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "I will find someone to teach."

Luo Pozi breathed a sigh of relief, and her face looked better.

"Are you badly hurt?" Ren Yaoqi remembered that Zhu Ruomei said that her injury was not a major problem, but Luo Pozi's face was really not very good, so it seemed that she was explaining the funeral.

Lady Luo shook her head: "The slave and maid's injury is not serious, but the slave and maid are getting older, and she knows her own body."

Ren Yaoqi thought, and later I will find a doctor to come over to see, but Luo Pozi was already hoarse and said, "Miss, do you want to ask about the grievances between the Zhai family and the Ren family?"

Ren Yaoqi nodded.

Luo Pozi sighed and turned her head, but her eyes were projected behind Ren Yaoqi's shoulders.

Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw Xiao Jingxi naturally.

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, smiled faintly, and then stood up calmly, without the slightest embarrassment on his face.

But seeing him about to go out, Ren Yaoqi called him aloud: "Young Master Xiao, please stay." She turned her head and said to Luo Po, "Say it, it's okay."

Luo Pozi gave Xiao Jingxi a surprised look. Although he couldn't guess his identity, she knew that she was not from the Ren family. Luo Pozi couldn't help but hesitate, watching Ren Yaoqi hesitate to speak.

In fact, Luo Pozi is kind, what she wants to say next, she never wants to be known by outsiders.

Ren Yaoqi understood what Luo Pozi meant, but she still shook her head: "I know it in my heart, just say it."

Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi, raised his eyebrows, and finally sat down again.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi's words, it was hard to say anything, and she slowly said, "No one remembers the Zhai family anymore, but decades ago, the Zhai family was one of the largest households in Baihe Town. Although the Zhai family He is low-key, but in Yanzhou, the Zhai family is also ranked."

Luo's voice was dull and vicissitudes, as if sand was wrapped in her throat.

"Master Zhai is very knowledgeable and a kind person, but unfortunately he lost his wife when he was middle-aged. Master Zhai has only one son, and he has just married soon. The young grandmother looks very outstanding, knows well, and treats others well, but the body is not very strong. Okay, the doctor said that if you want a child, you need to take care of it for a year or two. Master Zhai continued after thinking about it, because he was afraid that his son and daughter-in-law would be wronged, so he married the daughter of an ordinary family in town. This new wife was young. She lost her father. There is only one sick mother and a younger brother who has not yet married. She is a capable person. She is able to support her family by herself, but also to support her younger brother’s schooling. Master Zhai also listened to her good name and disregarded her family’s opposition to marrying. After she entered the door, she was also brought to the house with his wife’s mother and younger brother so that she would have no worries. However, the newly-introduced wife was also unlucky. She died only two years after entering the door, and her mother followed the bad news. Old Master Zhai and Uncle Zhai are both kind people. Seeing that his wife died of illness, only one uncle was left, so he still let that uncle stay in the mansion. He also blatantly married him and gave him a shop. He is a family business."

Lady Luo paused, and seemed to be thinking about it, as if she was in a daze: "The young lady finally got pregnant in the second year of her marriage and gave birth to a young master Zhai Yaozu, but within a few years, the Liao people came over because of the previous emperor’s Suspicion, the Yanbei Palace exists in name only, and the army sent by the imperial court in the south cannot withstand the Liao people’s iron cavalry. The result can be imagined. At that time, many people in Yanbei were planning to move south, and the Zhai family also had this plan. Because the young lady was pregnant again, the Zhai family was delayed and wanted to wait until the child was stable before leaving. Fortunately, the Zhai family moved out of the ancestral house for refuge and found a safer place to stay temporarily. At that time, my uncle’s family also moved in together. At this time, a good coal mine was discovered on the side of Xishan. Our young grandmother’s dowry included several barren hills in the West, which didn’t take it seriously. I don’t want to be because the situation has risen because of the discovery of coal mines."

Ren Yaoqi only discovered at this time that this Luo Pozi should be able to recognize some characters. Although she was in a bad mood, her speech was clear, which was very inconsistent with her own rough image.

"The Zhai family originally decided to go south to the south of the Yangtze River when the young woman got better. The young woman wanted to sell the coal mountain in her hands. At that time, many people wanted to buy it and the price was very suitable. Don’t covet what the wife holds. In the end, this matter was left to the uncle."

"After a while, my uncle came back and said that he had helped the young woman find a buyer, and the price was fair. The Zhai family and young woman trusted the uncle, so they gave the whole matter to the uncle. However, the mountain was sold. , But the silver has not been returned. Because the Zhai family has already set a date for going south with the rest of the family, here we can’t wait any longer, so my uncle said that he will leave to help the young lady wait for the silver for the time being, and then go to Jiangnan when the money is obtained. Look for them. The Zhai family naturally refuses to let uncle take this risk."

Ren Yaoqi has not spoken, listening carefully to Luo Pozi's memories of the past. There was no movement from Xiao Jingxi, and even the sound of breathing was inaudible.

"At this moment, King Yanbei came back with his troops. King Yanbei's army was protected by gods. Those Liao people were naturally invincible and could only retreat steadily. Seeing that they were about to be driven back outside the pass, Yanbei people They couldn't help but rejoice. But the Liao people were unwilling to return to the customs like this, but Yanbei's army was chasing them tightly, so they planned to looting in Yanbei and then leaving to **** Yanbei's property and women. "

As if thinking of the **** life, Luo Pozi's voice trembled.

"The King of Yanbei is coming back soon, and the Zhai family don't want to leave. After all, the foundation of the Zhai family is still in Yanbei, and no one wants to start again when going to Jiangnan. But suddenly one day, the Liao people found the Zhai family to hide. The place. As soon as the people from Liao came in, they rummaged things and snatched all the money and money from the Zhai family. Master Zhai was an open-minded man and told his family not to resist. The money was gone when it was gone. But... but that group of beasts Not reconciled after robbing the property, they fell in love with our young grandmother."

Lady Luo said, tears came down, her speech was out of tune.

"But the young grandma was already pregnant at the time! Master Zhai and Grandpa Zhai naturally couldn't watch the young grandmother being snatched by the beasts, and they began to resist desperately. In the end, they were all killed. The young grandmother was... in public... Uh..."

Ren Yaoqi hadn't experienced that period, and he couldn't imagine. But now listening to Luo Pozi talking about this, she always feels mentally panicked and uncomfortably tight.

Granny Luo cried for a long time before she could barely stop: "At that time, my sister Chun'er and I followed the young lady’s maid Liniang and took the young master out, and she escaped. When we came back, we saw the corpses in a place. We were humiliated to death, with one dead body and two lives. We were so scared that we almost fainted. Grandma Liu who was next to my grandma was chopped and pretended to be dead and escaped. We dragged Madam Liu out, fortunately she The injuries on the body are not fatal. Originally we wanted to find a place to hide first, but Liniang was the young lady’s dowry maid. She grew up with the young lady and had a deep relationship with her since she was a child. She said that she wanted to go back to collect the body for the old lady. We were afraid. , But thinking that the master treats us badly on weekdays, he went back again. No, but this time I saw the uncle and his wife. We originally thought that they were here to collect the corpses for the master. Stepping forward, I didn't want to but heard some thrilling words."

The Luo Pozi was already numb: "Their husband and wife came to see if the people in the mansion were dead, and they quarreled because they had not found the body of the young master. The group of Liao people was the one who attracted them. They told the Liao people. The Zhai family’s hiding place also reported that the Zhai family was very rich and had a good-looking woman who used the knife to kill someone. It turned out that the uncle did not know where the news of King Yanbei was coming back. I don't want to go to Jiangnan with the Zhai family, and they are attracted to the mine in the hands of the young lady."

Obviously it was summer, and the ventilation in this room was not good enough, but Ren Yaoqi felt a deep chill. This chill seemed to climb up from the bottom of my heart, like a poisonous snake. The protruding apricots made people shiver like itchy.

"A few of us were hiding in the dark with the mouths of the young master. I looked at the young master and found that he was leaning against Liniang very well, but those eyes were staring motionlessly while arguing. The couple. I thought he was frightened and stupid... I forgot that the young master was already quite young, and the master always praised him for being smart and alert, and learning everything quickly."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Luo Po was caught in the memory and couldn't return to her senses. Ren Yaoqi stared at her hand and didn't know what she was thinking. She hadn't spoken since Luo Pozi started to talk about the past.

At this time, a gentle voice broke the silence: "Since you are the maid of the Zhai family and have such a relationship with Zhai Yaozu, why are you afraid of the Han family?"

Xiao Jingxi's voice is very nice, tepid, and he always speaks with a certain special rhythm, which can confuse people at critical moments and wake people from emotions.

Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes and looked at Luo Pozi who had recovered from his memories.

"When I was young, I didn’t look good and stupid. The young lady didn’t dislike me and asked me to read with Liniang and others. When we were all old, the young lady arranged Liniang to serve the uncle, and promised to carry it as long as she gave birth to a child. As a concubine. Chun'er was pointed to the son of the big shopkeeper of the spice shop. The young lady also found someone for me. She was the only son of the kitchen chief. She also said that when I and Chun'er get married, they would give me a first-class maid. We are married in a beautiful scenery. She is a good person." Luo Pozi said in a low voice, "It is a pity that the Liao people have come and disrupted all the pace and wasted her painstaking efforts to plan for us."

Lady Luo sighed, very lightly, but it made people feel a little sad: "We were shocked when we heard that. We didn't dare to confront my uncle, and waited for the uncle and his wife to leave before we dared to come out. What are we? Without saying anything, we took the young master and hid. As for where to go, we had different opinions. Liniang said that we would take the young master to Jiangnan to return to the young lady’s natal family. Chun'er and I grew up in Zhai’s family since childhood. I hope that when the members of the Zhai family come back to do justice to the young master, although I have heard that other members of the Zhai family encountered the Liao people when they moved south, and they all died. But at that time, we saw that the Yanbei king was about to fight back. Chun'er and I I don’t want to stay away from the homeland easily. After all, no one knows what the situation of the young lady’s natal family is. Moreover, it’s not safe for us to take the young master with the mentally handicapped girls on the road. The young master is still there. If the Zhai family comes back, he will stay in Zhai. Home. But Liniang was very insistent. Chun'er and I thought for a long time, and finally thought that the young lady treated us so well. It was worth taking some risks for the young master to move the soldiers to the young lady's house. But at this juncture, something went wrong. "

When Mrs. Luo said this, her voice shook more and more: "That day, Chun'er and I went out to get some food. When I came back, I found that my uncle and his wife had brought someone to find me. I was about to go back and inform Liniang and the young master, but didn't want them to have escaped Chun'er and I also hid. The uncle and his wife could only return without success. We knew that they must have come to find the young master, so we went out to find Liniang and the others quietly. Because we have lived together for a long time, so I knew each other a little bit. The next day, Chun'er and I finally found Liniang, but Mother Liu didn’t know where he went, but the young master fell ill and developed a high fever. When Liniang saw us Did not say anything, very calmly told me to go outside to fetch some water and come back, and let Chun'er stay to make a fire. The place to fetch the water was a bit far away, and when I finished the water and walked back, I found Liniang standing behind me. Waiting for me in the distance, I was a little strange. I was about to step forward and ask her why she left the young master. However, I saw something dripping from her sleeve, it was blood. I was a little scared for some reason, so I stopped and didn’t want to. Liniang suddenly rushed towards me. She was holding a dagger in her hand, and the dagger was dripping with blood. I dodge desperately, but Liniang seemed to be crazy. She scolded us for ungratefulness and said that she would kill us all. I was confused at first, but later I realized that Liniang suspected that we had leaked the whereabouts of the young master, so she wanted to kill us. Because I did some rough work when I was a child, Liniang had been with the young woman since childhood. She stayed in the same place, she was not as strong as I am, so I ran away after being injured by her arm. I didn’t think of it until I ran away a long way, Chun'er didn’t come out, recalling the **** knife in Liniang’s hand , I became more and more frightened. Chun'er is my sister, my dear sister, I can’t leave her alone, so I decided to go back to Chun'er secretly, maybe she escaped by chance, but when I returned to the original place I only saw Chun'er's body. She fell to the ground and was stabbed three times in the chest. She couldn't catch her eyes. Liniang and the young master were gone."

"I'm very scared, afraid that Liniang would come back and kill me suddenly. After burying Chun'er hastily, she hid and didn't dare to show up again. I kept thinking that Chun'er and I didn't leak the young master's hiding place. , Liniang is not possible, so only Mother Liu. Since the appearance of her uncle, Mother Liu has not shown up. I don’t want to carry this scapegoat, so I wanted to confront Mother Liu. I remembered that there was A daughter married to Lijiazhuang, not far from Baihe Town. She mentioned to me that she wanted to go to her daughter-in-law, so I went to Lijiazhuang."

Mother Liu avoided closing her eyes, her old voice seemed to suppress the frightening emotions: "Mother Liu did indeed go back to her daughter and son-in-law, but I never expected to see that scene again. Mother Liu All six of her family, including her daughter and son-in-law, were dead. There was a three-year-old child and a baby who was still on the floor. The dagger that Liniang used to kill me was stuck in the three-year-old child’s. Chest. I finally realized that Liniang was actually crazy. Mother Liu and Chun'er were both dead. No one can prove my innocence, but even if someone can prove Liniang would not listen. I I was very scared and terrified. I always dreamed of Liniang standing next to my bed with a dagger in her hand when I slept at night. But since then I have never seen Liniang or the young master."

"I always thought afterwards, how can Liniang take the young master like that? The child is always innocent, and he can learn what you teach him. With Liniang's teaching, the young master will definitely have hatred in his heart, and he will think I want revenge. I'm afraid of death and don't want to stir up these grievances anymore. Soon after, King Yanbei fought back, and many people who had fled back one after another. I was afraid that Liniang did not leave, so I hid I spent a few years in the country eating and eating, and then I heard that many villagers wanted people to work, so I found a villager to stay with. But after a few years, the villager was bought by the uncle’s house by mistake. , It’s just that I have signed a contract to sell my body, and I can’t leave if I want to leave. At that time, the uncle was already different from what he used to be. He made a fortune with the mine in his hand and became the upstart of Yanbei. Fortunately, they There are so many family houses, and the masters generally don’t show up. After a few days of trembling, I finally stayed. This stay is for so many years.

When Luo Pozi said this, the outline of the matter was roughly clear.

Presumably that uncle's name is Ren.

Ren Yaoqi twitched the corner of his mouth, his smile was somewhat sarcasm and bitter. It turns out that Ren's family's selfishness is not without reason, it turns out to be rotten from the root.

Ren Yaoqi no longer knew what kind of mood she would face. At this moment, she even felt that Zhai Yaozu should come back to avenge the Ren family. The debts owed must always be repaid, blood debts and blood.

It is a pity that her great-grandfather and great-grandmother are already dead, but her parents have never done anything bad. Even if they have to pay their father's debts, they cannot be counted toward them.

The so-called truth that has troubled him for two lifetimes is so **** spread out in front of him, but it makes people feel powerless.

"Is the current house of the Ren family the ancestral house of the Zhai family back then?" Ren Yaoqi's voice was still faint.

Luo Pozi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, then nodded.

"In the middle of the house, he turned his hands twice, so no one mentioned the Zhai family anymore."

Ren Yaoqi was about to applaud the boldness and greed of her great-grandfather. Killed the whole family and dared to live in their ancestral home. No wonder the Ren family would end up like that.

In her opinion, the Ren family’s house has very good feng shui, and it is too good, but not everyone has a life. The Zhai family and the Ren family of the previous life are lessons for the past.
