[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life
Chapter 49 Sudden Changes
A few days ago, Mrs. Zhang, who served Rong Enqing, suddenly came to the house and said that she had something important to discuss with her.
It turned out that after Zhang Po's family of three were driven out of the Marquis' Mansion, they were left with only a few taels of silver. In order to make a living in the future, the family went to West City.
Xicheng is where the poor people in Beijing live. Prices here are cheap and it is easier to rent a house.
After Zhang and her family of three rented the cheapest small courtyard and settled down, they began to look for work.
It was also by chance that when Mrs. Zhang was strolling on the street, she accidentally saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion. She followed it all the way to Osmanthus Alley.
After waiting for a while, she asked people around her for information, and finally asked her husband to pretend to be a peddler and go to the door to ask for water.
After seeing Yun Luo's face and combining it with the information they had inquired about, Mrs. Zhang and her family felt that there must be something wrong. They immediately followed the situation of Yun Luo and her daughter and carefully inquired about their identities.
Unexpectedly, they actually found out something.
Finally they came to the conclusion that the child was from the second wife, but was now hidden by the people in the Marquis' Mansion. The people in the Marquis' Mansion definitely had bad intentions.
After the family discussed it, Mrs. Zhang went to the second wife's door.
Jiang was not planning to meet Zhang Pozi, who was Rong Enqing's servant. She was driven out of the mansion because she betrayed her master. Maybe she hated Rong Enqing for being unkind, but she didn't necessarily have any good feelings towards the people from the second house. After all, it was the second house that bribed them, but when something went wrong, it was the second house that abandoned them. Rong Enqing had given them a chance, but they refused to take in these servants who betrayed their master.
Jiang was not sure whether Mrs. Zhang came with good or bad intentions, so she was not prepared to meet her.
But Mrs. Zhang said that if Jiang refused to see her, she would ask to see Song. If things went wrong, don't blame her.
Jiang was angry with Song at the time, and when she heard this, she immediately called people in.
After some negotiation, Jiang promised to give Mrs. Zhang twenty taels of silver. Mrs. Zhang then told Jiang about Yun Luo and her daughter.
Jiang felt that things were going to get bad when she heard this. Although she had opinions about Song, it was undeniable that the Second House could not do without Song, especially Yun Hao could not do without the support of Song's family.
Therefore, she couldn't let Yun Luo and her daughter appear in front of the Song family. Even if she couldn't hide it in the future, she had to minimize the damage the mother and daughter could cause to the second house.
After figuring out the trick, Jiang avoided Mrs. Liu who was beside her and found the housekeeper Qian. She asked him to bring a few reliable people with her out, and with Mrs. Zhang leading the way, they went directly to Guihua Lane to take the people away.
Because when Mrs. Zhang came to tell her about Yunluo and her daughter, Jiang deliberately avoided Mrs. Liu, so two days after the incident, Song still knew nothing about it.
Unexpectedly, Rong Enqing came to the door.
What Jiang didn't expect was that Rong Enqing actually wanted to adopt the illegitimate daughter.
No matter what Rong Enqing's purpose was in doing this, it was indeed a good thing for their second branch.
Jiang was still a little unsure, so she planned to wait until Yun Hao came back from the government office in the evening and discuss it with him before making a decision. Anyway, Rong Enqing said that the person should be sent back before tomorrow afternoon, so there was still plenty of time.
Little did he know that before Yun Hao could return home to make a decision at night, news came from Yun Luo and her daughter, who were sent to a farm on the outskirts of the city for custody, that Li had died.
Jiang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Personnel to find Yun Hao.
As the eldest son of Shun'an Marquis, Yun Hong relied on his own ability to become an official. So Yun Hao relied on the protection of the Marquis's mansion to get a sinecure of the seventh rank.
But when Yun Hong died, Yun Hao married Song. With the help of the Song family, Yun Hao was transferred from the idle position in the Ministry of War to the position of the head of the Ministry of Personnel.
Although the rank is not high, it is a real position. As long as you do a good job, it will be easy to move to other positions of real power.
Therefore, Yun Hao has always been very attentive in his work. This is also the main reason why he can return to his original position after three years of mourning.
When his family came and told him what happened, Yun Hao didn't care about anything else. He asked for leave from his boss and rushed to the farm on the outskirts of the city as fast as he could.
When Yun Hao arrived, Jiang, who had left earlier, had just arrived.
Yun Hao just got off the carriage and asked Jiang with a gloomy face: "What happened? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on him? How did he die?"
Jiang also had a gloomy face, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
The mother and son entered the farm with gloomy faces.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard heart-wrenching cries coming from the house: "Mom, wake up! Wake up! Don't leave Luo'er alone! Mom..."
The voice was obviously hoarse from crying for a long time, but it was still howling at the top of its lungs.
Both mother and son frowned.
When they walked into the room, they saw six-year-old Yun Luo sitting on the ground, holding Li's head with his face pressed tightly against Li's face.
The blood on Li's forehead had dried, his face was gray, and he was no longer breathing.
There were bloodstains on Yun Luo's face, hands, and clothes, which were obviously from Li's forehead.
When the mother and son came in, there was quite a bit of noise, but Yunluo acted as if he didn't see anyone and was immersed in the sorrow of losing his mother.
A little maidservant next to her reminded her, "Young lady, the master and the old lady are here to see you. Why don't you come over and greet them?"
Yunluo still turned a deaf ear.
The little maid frowned, walked up and touched Yun Luo's arm, and reminded again: "The master and the old lady are here to see you."
Yun Luo seemed to be suddenly awakened, slowly raised his head and looked towards the door. However, when he saw who was coming, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
Almost in an instant, Yun Luo suddenly stood up from the ground and rushed towards Jiang, bumping his head on Jiang's stomach, causing Jiang to stagger two steps and almost fall.
Fortunately, Yun Hao was standing next to her and reached out to help her.
"What are you doing?" Yun Hao shouted angrily.
The others were startled by this sudden change, and only then did they rush forward to grab Yun Luo.
Yun Hao helped Jiang stand steadily, loosened his hand and took a step forward, looking at Yun Luo angrily, "That's your grandmother! How dare you hit your elders at such a young age? Apologize to your grandmother!"
Yun Luo didn't listen to what Yun Hao said at all. He stared at Jiang with his poisonous eyes, as if he wanted to cut Jiang into pieces.
Yun Hao frowned, stretched out his hand to clamp Yun Luo's chin, and forced her to look up at him, "Did you hear what I said to you?"
Yun Luo looked at Yun Hao viciously and spat at him, "Bah! She is not my grandmother, she is a bad person! She killed my mother! I will kill her! I must kill her!"
The fierceness in Yun Luo's eyes made Yun Hao frown even more tightly.
Jiang had just been bumped by Yun Luo and was a little angry at first, but at this moment she was also frightened by the hatred in Yun Luo's eyes.
Jiang's heart was pounding. How could this be a little girl? This was simply a beast! How could this be a granddaughter? This was definitely an enemy! She didn't dare to keep a child like this around! However, handing her over to Rong Enqing didn't seem like a good idea!
