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

Yun Hao looked at Yun Luo, then looked at Li who was dead on the ground, and walked out with a gloomy face.

Jiang followed and walked out of the room.

Yun Hao asked Butler Qian in an irritable manner: "How did the person disappear?"

Butler Qian was separated from the Marquis' Mansion along with the Second House when the Mansion was divided. Now he is in charge of all the affairs of the Second House.

As soon as the incident happened, he rode to the farm as fast as he could and found out what had happened in advance.

At this moment, Yun Hao asked, and Butler Qian quickly replied: "The man hit his head against the corner of the table and died. No one pushed or hit him."

Hearing this, Jiang raised her voice subconsciously and said, "Who would seek death for no reason?"

Yun Hao also looked at Butler Qian with a puzzled look.

Butler Qian quickly explained: "The man did commit suicide. But..."

Butler Qian paused and looked at Jiang meaningfully.

Jiang was stunned, and then her face changed. She said angrily: "Why are you looking at me? If you have something to say, just say it directly!"

Yun Hao also frowned and shouted unhappily, "Speak!"

Steward Qian then hurriedly said, "Didn't the old lady leave two maids on the farm to look after Li's mother and daughter?"

Jiang nodded. "Cui Liu and Lu Yan are both maids who have served me for many years. They are tight-lipped and loyal to me, so I left them to watch over the people. What's going on? Is this related to them?"

Steward Qian nodded and said carefully, "According to the people in the farm, Miss Cuiliu and Miss Luyan treated Li and her daughter very harshly. They ridiculed them, refused to give them food, and even the medicine that the little...little girl wanted to make for Li was knocked over several times."

At this point, Butler Qian looked at Jiang and Yun Hao's faces. Seeing that they didn't say anything, Butler Qian continued, "Some people have heard Miss Lu Yan curse Li's mother and daughter more than once, saying that they are a disaster, that they are only causing trouble for others when they are alive, and that it is better for them to die.

"She also said that the current lady in the mansion is a daughter of an official from a wealthy family, and she can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. If the lady knew about the existence of mother and daughter, the whole mansion would be in turmoil.

"Some people also said that Miss Cui Liu joked with Li more than once that if she died and the little girl was left alone, maybe the master and the old lady would be able to take the little girl back to the mansion and let her recognize her ancestors. She also said that if she died, the lady in the mansion would not be unable to accommodate a little orphan. ..."

The matter is very clear.

Li committed suicide because she believed what Cui Liu and Lu Yan said, and wanted to exchange her own life for a bright future for her daughter.

Yun Hao's face was as gloomy as water. He turned to look at Jiang with questioning eyes.

Jiang was panicked and explained anxiously, "It was not my order. I just complained a few words, but who would have thought that those two girls would take it seriously.

"Yunhao, you know what kind of person your mother is. Although I hate them, they are yours after all. You said you would raise them in the manor first, so how could I take the initiative to murder them?"

Yun Hao saw that Jiang was sincere, and his expression eased a little. He patted Jiang's arm in a soothing manner, then turned around and told Butler Qian: "Sell those two presumptuous maids to the south, the farther the better. I don't want to see them again."

"Yes."

"Also, prepare a coffin and bury Li properly."

Although the sudden appearance of Li's mother and daughter caused him a lot of trouble, they were the women who accompanied him for several months during his most boring period.

As for that child...

Yun Hao thought about it, sighed and said, "After burying Li, bring the child back home. After all, he is my flesh and blood."

As soon as Yun Hao finished speaking, Jiang immediately objected: "No! You must not take that girl back with you!"

Yun Hao frowned and looked at Jiang Shi in annoyance. "There are already many children in the mansion, and she won't be one more. As for Song Shi, I will talk to her properly."

Jiang said firmly, "It's not Song's problem. It's this child... I don't like him."

Jiang didn't want to say that she was afraid of the child. She always felt that if she brought him back, she would die at the hands of the child sooner or later.

"Mom, please stop being unreasonable. It's just a child. If you don't like her, just don't let her get in your way in the future."

Yun Hao was still trying to persuade Jiang with kind words.

But Jiang refused to give in and started to make a scene: "I don't care, you are absolutely not allowed to take this child back. If you still recognize me as your mother, you are not allowed to recognize this child!"

"Mom!" Yun Hao's tone was already filled with anger, "Why are you doing this?"

At this moment, a voice sounded in the distance: "I want this child."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Song and Zhang supporting Rong Enqing on both sides as they walked in from the front door.

The person who spoke was none other than Rong Enqing.

It turned out that after Jiang got the news, she sent someone to the Ministry of Personnel to inform Yun Hao, and at the same time had someone prepare a carriage and rushed to the farm.

Liu Pozi, who was deliberately left behind by Jiang, hurried to the Marquis' Mansion to report the matter to Song. Coincidentally, Rong Enqing and Zhang were also present.

When Rong Enqing heard that Yunluo and her daughter were in trouble, he immediately came to the manor to look for them. Since the matter involved the second branch, Song was bound to come. Zhang was worried about Rong Enqing, and Rong Enqing also needed Zhang to follow him.

The three of them hit it off immediately and got on the marquis's carriage, riding at full speed out of the city before the gates were locked.

Yun Hao stepped forward and saluted Rong Enqing, "Madam, why are you here?"

Rong Enqing was not polite and said straight to the point: "I'm here to look for my child."

Yun Hao was puzzled: "Please explain clearly, Madam."

Rong Enqing glanced at Jiang who was standing still and snorted, "I guess your aunt didn't tell you what I told her this afternoon."

Yun Hao turned back to look at Jiang Shi in confusion, but saw Jiang Shi's face was gloomy and she said in an angry voice: "I don't remember."

Rong Enqing ignored her and said directly: "A few days ago, Yun Luo was hit by the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion on the street, and Steward Li brought him back to the mansion. I learned that the child's mother was seriously ill and came to the Marquis' Mansion for help. At first I thought it was Yun Hong's flesh and blood who was wandering outside, but later I asked about his age and found out that it was your second room's child.

"I felt sorry for the child, so I thought I'd ask Steward Li to find a doctor to cure her mother's illness first, and then I'll talk to you about the adoption of the child."

Yun Hao's face changed, "Adopted!?"

"Yes, adopt her." Rong Enqing said seriously, "I felt close to the child from the first time I saw her. You have many children in the second house, so you probably won't care about an illegitimate daughter who is living outside. So, I thought of raising her outside first, and then talk about the follow-up after she is cured.

“Who would have thought that when I went to visit Xicheng today, I found that the person was gone.

"As for what happened this afternoon, I have told your aunt that I want to adopt Yunluo. This will not affect your second branch, and I will have a granddaughter to take care of me. It should be a win-win situation.

"But now..."

Yun Hao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. If he had known about Rong's proposal in the afternoon, Li's mother and daughter would have been waiting in the mansion to help him!

Such a good opportunity was wasted by Jiang!

Obviously, Song thought so too, and her face immediately darkened.

But seeing Jiang's guilty look, Song couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Sooner or later, Yun Hao would realize how stupid his mother was and how much she held him back.
