"You, you, you..." Tang Yuanzhi pointed at Yunling and was speechless.

Mrs. Cao, on the other hand, pointed at Yunling and muttered to her husband: "She, she, she..."

Why did you start talking? With this statement, her previous excuse for changing her marriage no longer worked.

Mrs. Tang hadn't spoken yet, but Mrs. Wu was a little annoyed, "Ling'er, call grandma and listen."

Why do you call this useless thing the first time you open your mouth? It's really unlucky.

Yunling followed the good example and called them one by one according to the names in her memory.

"What's all the fuss about? Ling'er has just recovered from her illness. She will naturally be able to speak again after she recovers."

Mrs. Tang made the final decision, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.

Rich families pay attention to eating and sleeping without talking. Although the Tang family has only been in Ruidu for ten years, they have also followed the trend and learned the official style, changed many rural habits, and gradually developed some rules in daily life. , but compared to those wealthy families in Ruidu who have profound foundations, these so-called rules are actually hard to come by.

Privately, there are many people who look down on the Tang family for being born with mud-legged backgrounds, and sarcastically say that "painting a tiger cannot be compared to a dog."

However, Yunling felt a little lucky to be in the Tang family at this time.

If he were in the home of a high-ranking family or relatives of the emperor, I would probably be overwhelmed by the feudal etiquette on TV.

The family was eating, and except for Mr. Tang and his wife who kept winking and making some unknown misunderstandings, everyone else was warm and cozy.

At this time, a man with a casual appearance walked in.

The person who came was dressed in bunting and looked quite capable and capable. He was about forty years old, but in fact he was only two years younger than Mr. Tang, and he was past the age to know his destiny.

This is Lao Qi, who holds many positions in the Tang family, including housekeeper, purchaser, coachman, and attendant... He can do anything as long as Mr. Tang orders him.

Lao Qi's expression was a little solemn. After entering the flower hall, he first greeted everyone. When he saw Yun Ling, his eyes showed some relief, but it was soon replaced by worry.

He came close to Mrs. Tang and mumbled a few words in a low voice.

Yunling immediately felt the old man's scrutinizing gaze.

Mr. Tang is well-maintained and his eyes are very bright. When you look at someone, you will feel that he is gentle, but when you look at him for a long time, people dare not look directly at him, as if all his little thoughts will be lost. Escaped form.

Yunling felt like this at this moment.

She recalled it carefully and felt that except for two blank memories that she could not recall, the original granddaughter was only a little withdrawn on weekdays and seemed to have never done anything wrong.

She straightened her back, sat up straight, and looked back seriously.

The stubborn old man once said that if you have done nothing wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If people look at you, just be open and let others see you.

If it was really done...then the original owner was not her.

He will deny it even if he is beaten to death.

Mrs. Tang found Yunling's appearance even more strange.

The little girl didn't seem to be afraid of people, which was not the same as Ling'er.

Old Mrs. Tang looked away, turned to Lao Qi and told Lao Qi: "Buy a coffin so that she can be buried alive. In addition, go to Yahang to ask her where her home is, send someone to look for her and give her some silver."

"Coffin? Who are you planning to hold a funeral for?" Tang Yuanzhi was surprised and soon understood, "Is that girl Cuizhu dead? How did she die? Didn't our family just buy her less than three months ago? These six taels Is the money wasted?"

It's okay to be clueless on weekdays, but now that he said such cold-blooded words, Mr. Tang really wanted to stuff the eldest son back into his mother's womb.

When he and Wu were young, they were recognized as smart people from all over the country. How could they have such a thing?

"How did he die? He was cursed to death by your crow's mouth."

Seeing that Mrs. Tang spat out, Lao Qi hurriedly explained the matter, "Since the eldest lady fell into the water and Cuizhu disappeared, I have been looking for her with the monks from Honglian Temple in the past few days, but there was no news at all in the past few days. .....In the end, the great master really got it right..."

He looked at Tang Yuanzhi and said, "The man did indeed fall into the water, but his body was caught by the lotus leaf stems under the water. He did not survive. He only floated up this afternoon."

The Hu Qin story of the past two days actually came true, and Tang Yuanzhi felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck.

Looking at Old Man Tang's increasingly ugly face, he decided to run away, "Dad, I remembered that I had to settle an account a few days ago, so I went back to the study."

Hearing that Cuizhu also fell into the water and died, Yunling's heart ached a little. This was the original owner's own emotion, but she couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart.

A fresh human life was lost like this.

It turns out that the original girl is not Cuizhu, but Shuangxi. It's just that Shuangxi was old and was let out to get married by the Wu family, so she bought green bamboos to fill it in.

Cuizhu was only about ten years old. Although she was very well-behaved and smart, Mrs. Wu didn't want to buy her at first. She wanted to buy someone who was a little older and safe to take care of her granddaughter, but she couldn't resist Ren Yazi's recommendation, and she felt that the girl was very... Too bad, so I bought it.

Cuizhu, formerly known as Dahua, is the daughter of a farmer's family. Her biological mother died prematurely during childbirth. She is a girl and has always been disliked by her family. Later, the biological father married the stepmother and became a stepfather. When she helped raise her stepbrother until he was three years old, the stepmother disliked her for living at home. She wanted to raise her older and marry him off to collect more gifts to repay her capital, but she was afraid Because of this, he was criticized by the villagers and influenced his son to marry a wife. He simply claimed that he was lost in the city, but in fact, he secretly sold Dahua to Ren Yazi.

Such a poor child, after death, still has to generate income for the evil "stepfather" and stepmother. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?

Yunling finally couldn't help but said to Lao Qi: "Cuizhu's family bullied her and even sold her to Ren Yazi. Those gangsters don't deserve the money she left behind. In my opinion... ..”

She was at a loss for words for a moment and her mind was racing. After catching a glimpse of Wu's face, Fuling suddenly came up with an idea.

"Grandma, light an ever-bright lamp for Cuizhu at Wantan Temple. I hope she will find a good family in the next life."

Even if this money is thrown into the water, it cannot be given to the evil couple.

Since Mrs. Wu came to Ruidu, she would send taels of silver to Wantan Temple every year to light the lanterns for her deceased relatives. She hasn't gone this year yet, so she will bring it with her the next time she goes there.

"Okay, okay, just light the evergreen lantern and add some paper money to Cuizhu." Mrs. Wu naturally agreed.

"Ling'er, why did you and Cuizhu fall into the water?" Mr. Tang asked in a deep voice, with a solemn look on his face.

Lao Qi had carried the medicine box for him for so many years, and he also had some knowledge of medicine under his influence.

Moreover, Lao Qi is still a practitioner, and he also knows what kind of wounds will appear when the human body is injured.

When Lao Qi responded to him just now, he mentioned that Cuizhu's body had two marks of being hit by heavy objects, one on the skull and the small bones of the right leg.

It's not just a simple slip and fall into the water, there may be something else hidden.
