The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Begonia Court.

Aunt Bai leaned on the couch and pulled the thin blanket closer to her body.

It was already summer, but her frail body still felt cold.

It’s been thirteen years.

Aunt Bai closed her eyes and a tear quietly fell.

There are some things that Yin Yin should know.

"mother!"

When Aunt Bai heard the gentle call, she opened her eyes and smiled weakly.

"Yin Yin is here!"

"mother!"

Zhu Yinyin stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Bai's skinny right hand, which was cold to the touch, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her daughter like this, Aunt Bai raised her left hand helplessly and gently rubbed the top of Zhu Yinyin's head.

"Silly child, why are you crying? Mom has been like this for a long time. If it weren't for Mom being like this, you wouldn't be able to call me Mom openly."

"mother!"

After hearing what Aunt Bai said, Zhu Yinyin cried even harder.

Although the Marquis of Zhenguo seemed to love her, the youngest daughter of the Marquisate, the most, Zhu Yinyin knew that in the entire Marquisate, the Marquis of Zhenguo only truly loved the Crown Prince.

Everything in the Marquis' Mansion is to pave the way for the Crown Prince, and everyone must give way to the Crown Prince.

Since childhood, Aunt Bai taught Zhu Yinyin how to be patient and how to be innocent, silly, naive and sweet.

This prevented Zhu Yinyin from being targeted by the Marquis of Zhenguo, and also prevented him from deliberately making efforts to lead her astray.

Who could have thought that the Marquis of Zhenguo would deliberately raise his own illegitimate sons and daughters astray?

Even though it was him, the person who helped him eliminate the spies in the mansion, who was thrown aside because she had lost her usefulness.

Favor?

love?

Ha ha!

Now, Aunt Bai only hopes that her only daughter can have a good home. Aunt Bai can't help but think of her cousin's second son Wei Shenyan, who was also a childhood sweetheart with Yinyin.

The key is that they are of similar age.

Over the years, their efforts to get the children to spend more time together have paid off.

With Wei Shenyan, even if Aunt Bai died immediately, she wouldn't have to worry about Zhu Yinyin anymore.

Cough!

As she thought about it, Aunt Bai couldn't help but cough twice.

Her days are really numbered.

I just hope that before she passes away, I can marry Athena Chu off smoothly, so that their life together as mother and daughter will not be in vain.

Zhu Yinyin poured a cup of warm tea over with concern, held Aunt Bai with one hand, and fed her.

After drinking the hot tea, Aunt Bai felt a warm current flowing down her throat into her limbs, and she felt much more relaxed.

"Okay, Yinyin, hurry up and read. Mom will check your homework later."

"Got it, mother."

Zhu Yinyin looked at Aunt Bai with concern, but in the end she said nothing.

Zhu Yinyin tried hard to suppress the tears in her eyes. She just tried her best to do whatever her mother asked her to do.

Zhu Yinyin knew that her mother probably wouldn't be able to survive this winter.

Only by letting Aunt Bai leave without any regrets can Athena Chu be truly filial.

Athena Chu understands!

Aunt Bai also understands!

So, the mother and daughter, one was reading the book seriously, while the other was leaning on the couch, looking at her daughter who was reading seriously with tenderness.

The story is short.

Athena Chu reads very fast.

Seeing Zhu Yinyin close the book, Aunt Bai couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

"Yinyin!"

"mother!"

"Did you finish reading?"

"Yes! Mother. My daughter has finished reading."

Hearing Zhu Yinyin's answer, Aunt Bai was extremely relieved. However, she still conducted the test as usual.

"do you understand?"

"I understand, mother. The 'sleeping on firewood' in 'sleeping on firewood and tasting gall' means lying on firewood. 'tasting gall' means tasting the bitter gall."

Zhu Yinyin paused here, looked at Aunt Bai's gentle eyes, and then continued to explain:

"'Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall' is used to describe people who work hard to encourage themselves, to avenge humiliation, and to work hard to become stronger."

Aunt Bai looked at Zhu Yinyin with satisfaction. Yinyin had really grown up. Learning so much should help her live well in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and wait until the day she gets married.

The last breath in her heart was released, and Aunt Bai quickly became weaker.

However, Aunt Bai still insisted on telling her daughter:

"Yes, my son is a fast learner. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, slept on firewood and tasted gall. He was not afraid of the harsh environment and worked hard to become stronger. That's why he was able to take revenge and eventually achieve great things!"

After a pause, Aunt Bai carefully described her daughter's face with her eyes, as if she wanted to remember her daughter firmly in her heart.

After a long while, Aunt Bai took a breath and continued to instruct:

"Yinyin, you must be self-reliant and independent like Gou Jian, the King of Yue, study hard, and never lose your vigilance at any time."

Although, it seems that Wei Shenyan is a good person now.

But time can erase everything.

Who can guarantee that Wei Shenyan will not change his original intention?

Therefore, the only people Yin Yin can rely on are herself and her son.

But, looking at Zhu Yinyin’s young face, how can I tell her this?

Forget it, I'll just leave a letter for Yin Yin.

"Yin Yin, I'm tired. You should go back and rest early too."

"Yes, mother!"

Looking at Aunt Bai's appearance, Zhu Yinyin's heart ached.

Her mother...

Zhu Yinyin felt sad in her heart and her nose was also sour, but she couldn't cry now. She couldn't make Aunt Bai more sad.

Zhu Yinyin lowered her head and agreed, then left in a hurry.

As soon as she walked out of Aunt Bai's yard, Zhu Yinyin could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and they fell down.

Big, big tears fell to the ground.

Zhu Yinyin covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out accidentally.

The study of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

"Master Hou!"

Jin Yi, the secret guard of the Marquis of Zhenguo, entered the study quietly and knelt on one leg.

"Yeah! Get up and answer."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

"how?"

"I'm afraid Aunt Bai doesn't have much time left."

"Are you leaving after all?"

The Marquis of Zhenguo looked at the teacup in his hand, and ripples appeared on the surface of the teacup.

It turned out that my hands were shaking.

It turns out that even when I heard the result that I had already known, I still felt emotional?

Aunt Bai!

Thinking of the woman who was as pure and indifferent as a lotus, he was ultimately the one who was sorry for her.

"My Lord, the Fifth Miss ran out of Haitang Courtyard crying."

The master could be in a daze, but Jin Yi had to report the truth. As for how Zhu Yinyin should deal with it, that was the matter of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

After all, Jin Yi really didn't know whether Zhu Yinyin was crying because Aunt Bai passed away soon or because she learned the truth of that year.

Let's leave this thorny issue to the Marquis to solve.

After all, they are still a family. If he, an outsider, interferes, he will probably end up like a straw mat thrown into a mass grave.

Jin Yi is not stupid.

So, Jin Yi is very loyal.

So, Jin Yi is very honest.

Therefore, Jin Yi is the longest-lived person in the Zhenguohou Mansion - Jin Yi.
