[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Of the four children, only Yunluo was present. The other three were playing in the next room.

At this moment, hearing Yun Luo's words, everyone looked at her in surprise.

At the age of seven, Yun Luo has shed her vulgarity and childishness, and has acquired some of the temperament of a daughter of a marquis, gentle, quiet, calm and dignified.

With the good looks she inherited from the Li and Yun families, she stood there pretty and tender as the young buds on the branches of a willow tree in spring, making people happy to see her.

"Yunluo, do you know what it means to enter the palace?"

Although Rong Enqing felt reluctant, he secretly thought that Yunluo was the best candidate.

Yunying has a disability, Yunai and Yunlan are too young, and only Yunluo is of the right age and more mature than her peers. Sending her to the palace may help her resolve the crisis with her intelligence and understanding. With the support of the Queen Mother, I think nothing will happen.

"Grandma, I know." Yun Luo said without hesitation, "This year, Mr. Zhong taught me a lot of knowledge. Madam Gong also taught me a lot of rules. I asked myself if I could deal with various emergencies after entering the palace.

“But my three sisters are too young and don’t understand anything. If I send them to the palace hastily, I’m afraid their future will be uncertain.

"Although I didn't grow up with my sisters, I've been with them for the past few days and they are all very cute. I like them all very much. I don't want any of them to get hurt.

"Moreover, I have been with my grandmother back to the Marquis' Mansion for a year, and I have received a lot of care from my grandmother and brother. Now it is time for Yunying to repay you.

"I am willing to enter the palace. Please grant my permission, Grandmother!"

Rong Enqing looked at Yunying with a sincere face and felt his heart throb. Yunying, who was sensible at this moment, was very similar to Yunye before.

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing subconsciously turned his head to look at Yun Ye.

Yun Ye thought he was asking for his opinion, so he thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, I think what my eldest sister said is absolutely right. Among the four sisters, my eldest sister is indeed the most suitable."

Yun Luo smiled slightly and bowed to Yun Ye to show his gratitude.

Rong Enqing also sighed secretly and did not refute.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to be finalized, Song suddenly stood up from the chair. When she stood up, she swayed and almost lost her balance.

"Mother! I know Yun Ai is young, and it's not appropriate to send her to the palace. But, but, I really have no choice! I can't protect Yun Ai! Sending her to the palace is the best way out I can think of for her!"

Song was excited and spoke sincerely, "As long as Yun Ai enters the palace and has the status of the princess's companion, even if I am gone one day, Yun Hao will still ignore her, and I believe Jiang will not dare to treat her harshly! With the status of the princess's companion, Yun Ai will be able to find a good marriage in the future!"

"Mother! Please help me, as a mother, to fulfill my hard-earned wish!"

Having said that, Song knelt down tremblingly in front of Rong Enqing.

Rong Enqing's eyes became hot and her chest felt tight when she heard Song's words. Seeing Song kneeling down, she quickly ordered everyone, "Help her up, help her up!"

Cao's eyes were red, and she hurried forward. She and Xiu Zhang helped the man up on both sides and put him back on the chair.

After this not-so-stirring ordeal, Song's face had turned pale and she was sweating profusely. It was obvious that her body had not yet fully recovered.

Rong Enqing looked at Song's appearance and couldn't help but sigh, then turned to look at Yun Luo beside him.

Yun Luo pursed her lips tightly, and after a while, she slowly walked to Song's front, looked at her seriously, and said, "Second Aunt, the palace has strict rules and many crises. Do you really have the heart to send my third sister to the palace?"

Song bit her lip tightly, her eyes reddened, and after a moment, she nodded firmly. "Yunluo, your third sister is different from you. Even if you don't enter the palace, you can still live well. But if you don't enter the palace, your third sister may not even have the chance to grow up. Can you give way to your sister?"

At the end of the conversation, Song couldn't hold back any longer and started crying with her hands covering her mouth.

Although she had not experienced it, she knew long ago what kind of suffering a motherless child would encounter.

Her cousins ​​from her fifth uncle's family lost their mother when they were a few years old. Later, her fifth uncle married a new wife and gave birth to new cousins. Since then, her two cousins ​​have been tortured by their stepmother. Hungry and scolded are the norm. But her new fifth aunt is a person who only knows how to put on a show. No matter how her cousins ​​complain to the elders at home, everyone thinks that they don't like their stepmother and are deliberately making trouble.

It was not until both my cousins ​​got into accidents, one dying and one injured, that the elders in the family realized how vicious Aunt Wu was.

It was a cold winter day, and my cousin and his sister both fell into the water. The cousin was older, so he held his sister in the water and prevented her from drowning. But he himself drowned. Although his sister survived, she also contracted a cold that ruined her life.

Afterwards, the elders in the family investigated and the new fifth aunt said that the cousins ​​were playful and she, as a stepmother, could not control them too much, as it would make people hate them. Moreover, she had to take care of her son who was less than two years old and take care of the affairs of the fifth room. She was too busy to do everything, so she neglected the children in the next year.

Aunt Xinwu was in tears, acting as if she was a victim.

But her words could not escape the eyes of her shrewd grandmother.

Why did the two children go out to play on such a cold day instead of staying in the warm house? Why did they go out? Why did they go to the water? Who told them to go out?

Why was there no one with them? Where did the people who served them go when they fell into the water?

Most importantly, why didn't anyone notice the two people who had been in the water for such a long time? Was there really no one watching the yard or passing by?

New Aunt Wu refused to admit it at first, until my grandmother beat up all the servants in Uncle Wu's room, and then someone confessed what New Aunt Wu had done in the two years since she entered the family.

The elders in the family regretted their decision, but it was too late. The cousin died and the cousin's health was completely ruined.

Later, Aunt Xinwu passed away quietly due to illness within two months, leaving behind only a little cousin who was less than two years old. He had been ostracized, targeted, and hated since childhood and had a difficult life.

Therefore, after she became a stepmother, she never thought about doing anything to her two stepchildren. She just wanted them to live in peace.

But what about the future?

When she left, the newlyweds came in.

Can the four children grow up well under the stepmother’s care?

Yun Hao still cares about his three sons to some extent, but what about her Yun Ai?

Yunluo didn’t know what Song was thinking, she just subconsciously felt that entering the palace was not a good thing.

So, I persuaded her again: "Second Aunt, do you really want to send Third Sister to the palace? The palace is not a good place. In fact, you can ask Grandmother to raise Third Sister in the Marquis' Mansion. Hasn't Third Sister lived well in the Marquis' Mansion in the past two months?"

Knowing that Yun Luo had good intentions, Song thought about it and shook her head. She patiently explained to Yun Luo, "It's fine to let Yun Ai live in the mansion for a short period of time. But for a long time, it won't be justified. Besides, as long as your second uncle is determined to take Yun Ai back, your grandmother has no reason to stop him."

"Then, why don't we adopt our third sister into the Marquis' Mansion?" Yun Luo suggested again.

Song shook her head helplessly and said, "When you were adopted, Jiang had already made a big fuss and strongly opposed it. If you want to adopt Yun Ai again, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult and the chances are slim."

"Is there nothing we can do?" Yun Luo couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

At this moment, Rong Enqing finally interrupted the two of them, "Alright. Yunluo, your second aunt already knows about your good intentions. Go play with your sisters next door."

Yun Luo looked hesitant, but finally walked to the next room under Rong Enqing's determined gaze.

After everyone left, Rong Enqing looked at Song and asked seriously, "Song, have you thought it through?"

"Yes. I've thought about it." Song said firmly.

"That's fine. Since you've made up your mind, let's choose Yun Ai as the person to enter the palace."

A hammer is fixed.
