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

Everyone received their orders and went out to do their work.

Only Rong Enqing and Yun Ye were left in the room, along with Xiu Zhang who was standing by just in case.

Rong Enqing walked slowly to Yun Ye and held Yun Ye in his arms.

She gently patted his back and soothed him softly, "Yun Ye, don't be afraid! Grandma has asked someone to investigate. Once the truth is found out, Grandma will make the murderer who poisoned you give you an explanation!

"Yun Ye, you have to believe in grandma. Even if everyone betrays you and abandons you, grandma will never leave you and will never hurt you in the slightest!

"Whether you believe it or not, grandma has died once. It's because of you that grandma has the chance to live again! It's also because of you that grandma had the courage to drive away the mother and son of the second wife!

"It can be said that my grandmother is alive now, all because of you! Without you, there would be no grandmother today!

"So, Yun Ye, don't question grandma! Even if grandma hurts herself, she will never hurt you!"

Rong Enqing's sincere words finally made Yun Ye respond.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at Rong Enqing, his eyes filled with tears.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"

At this moment, Rong Enqing felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

However, in just less than a year, the chubby, kind and cheerful little boy has become sensitive and suspicious, living in fear all the time.

Rong Enqing suddenly began to doubt whether it was right or wrong to force Yun Ye to inherit the Marquis' Mansion.

Rong Enqing reached out and wiped away the tears on Yun Ye's cheeks, and answered seriously: "Really. Grandmother would rather die than hurt you!"

"grandmother!"

Yun Ye reached out and hugged Rong Enqing, buried himself in Rong Enqing's arms, and burst into tears, "Wuwuwu... Grandma! Grandma!"

At this moment, he finally let go and was freed from the fear that "my grandmother might harm me". He cried loudly to vent his anxiety.

"Be good, it's okay, it's okay! Grandma is here, you don't have to be afraid of anything! Grandma will take care of everything!..." Rong Enqing hugged Yun Ye and kept whispering to comfort him.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Yun Ye’s crying gradually became quieter until it disappeared completely.

Rong Enqing then realized that Yun Ye had gotten tired of crying and had fallen asleep in her arms.

***

At the same time, in Tinglan Courtyard, the three brothers who heard the noise outside the courtyard put down their bowls and chopsticks, walked to the door and looked outside.

Yunhui asked his two younger brothers nervously: "What happened?"

Yun Zhao shook his head in confusion.

Yun Shi's eyes sparkled, but he said, "I don't know. Wait, you'll know sooner or later."

At this time, a maid came over and said, "Three young masters, the second wife is done, please come over."

The three brothers hurried to Song's house.

"Do you know what happened?" Song asked hurriedly when she saw the three people.

The three of them shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Yun Shi thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Mother, I'll go ask the servants at the door. They might know something."

Song nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Yun Shi then went out and came to the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as he opened the gate, the four gatekeepers turned around and stood in front of him.

One of them said, "The Madam has ordered that no one is allowed to move around at will. Please go back to your room, Third Young Master."

Yun Shi quickly waved his hands and explained, "Brothers, you misunderstood me. I'm not going out. I just came here to ask what happened."

The man said politely, "We don't know either. We just follow orders."

"Then," Yun Shi pointed at the four people sealing the door and asked tentatively, "Is this what the young marquis meant for you to do?"

"No. It was Madam Tai's idea. Third Young Master, please stop asking and go in quickly."

The man was getting a little impatient.

Yun Shi decided to quit while he was ahead, closed the gate, and turned around to walk inside.

However, the moment he turned around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

It's done!

Something happened to Yun Ye!

That’s why the Marquis’ Mansion reacted so strongly!

Therefore, the person who gave the order would be the Madam!

When they saw Yun coming in with a smile on his face, the Song family members were all surprised.

"Didn't something happen? Why are you still laughing?" Yun Hui looked at his brother in confusion and guessed, "Could it be that nothing happened? Was it just a false alarm?"

Song also frowned and looked at Yun Shi, "What are you laughing at for no reason?"

"Nothing." Yun Shi restrained his smile and said in a cheerful tone, "I'm just happy. Mother, we can go home soon. Father will definitely come to pick us up!"

Yun Shi's nonsensical words set off alarm bells in Song's heart.

She frowned and looked at Yun Shi seriously: "What do you mean?

“…Does the commotion outside have anything to do with you?

"what have you done?"

The more Song questioned herself, the more anxious she became, and countless bad thoughts began to slowly grow.

Yun Shi smiled and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, mother. I didn't do anything. What happened outside has nothing to do with us. We just need to wait for father to come and take us back home."

However, Song's heart was hanging high.

Just as the mother and son were talking, the gate of Tinglan Courtyard was opened from the outside.

Soon, Nanny Gong came in with a group of people and took a few people away quietly.

The door of Tinglan Courtyard was closed again.

It was not until this time that Song confirmed that the incident had indeed affected her, because among the people who were taken away was Xiao Liu, the little maid who had followed her from the Yun Mansion in Lin'anfang.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Song from Tinglan Courtyard couldn't sleep, and Zhang from Tinghe Courtyard couldn't sleep either.

Because the front and back doors of Tingheyuan were first sealed by servants led by Steward Li.

In the middle of the night, Nanny Gong brought people to take Chunping away from her.

She didn't know what was going on, but she knew she must have been involved.

Chunping was her maidservant when she came with her as a dowry. If Chunping got into trouble, there was no reason for her, as her master, to stay out of it.

So, she was waiting, waiting for Rong Enqing to call her over for a confrontation.

If there was anyone who could have a good sleep that night, it would probably only be the two sisters Yunying and Yunai who were sleeping in Tingfengyuan.

Because even Yun Hai, who was about to leave Beijing tomorrow, came to the main courtyard after being awakened by the noise in the mansion, and accompanied Rong Enqing, waiting for the outcome of the matter.

At the end of the Chinese New Year, after more than two hours of investigation, Nanny Gong finally got to the bottom of the matter. She escorted more than a dozen people to the main courtyard overnight to report to Rong Enqing.

Looking at the thick stack of confessions that Nanny Gong handed to him and listening to the truth of the matter that Nanny Gong had found out, Rong Enqing felt a surge of anger rising to his head.

She didn't expect that an eight-year-old child could be so scheming!

What she didn't expect was that after a year of cleaning up, the mother and son of the second wife could actually reach out to the Marquis' Mansion!

She is indeed too kind!
