I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Yu Muyan took the initiative to wave to him, "Come, Brother Qi, come to your aunt."

Brother Qi is very sensible. Because he lives under someone else's roof, he is cautious in everything and overly sensible.

"Aunt." He still walked to Yu Muyan obediently.

"Are you used to living here?" Yu Muyan asked, touching his head.

"Thank you for your concern, auntie. I'm fine."

"You don't have to restrain yourself. This place is the same as your home. If you need anything or feel uncomfortable, remember to tell your aunt, okay?"

Wan Jieer uncovered Qi Geer's thoughts and whispered in Yu Muyan's ear: "Mom, he misses his family very much. When aunt told us the story of entertaining his family with drama, I saw him secretly wiping away tears."

Yu Muyan was stunned. She thought about taking good care of Qi Ge'er's body, but forgot to take into account Qi Ge'er's thoughts. She forgot that Qi Ge'er was a homeless child, and what he lacked and longed for most was parental love.

No matter how good the Bo's Mansion is, no matter how well she treats Qi'er, it can never compare to her biological parents.

"Tell your aunt, do you miss your parents?"

"Yeah." Brother Qi said in a low voice, with his head lowered.

Mother Gui felt sad and distressed, and was also wiping away tears.

For a moment, Yu Muyan didn't know what to say to soothe Qi Ge'er's pain.

Finally, Yu Muyan took Qi Ge'er to her private vault alone and rummaged through the drawers to look for something.

After searching for a long time, Yu Muyan found a few paintings and a wooden box and asked, "Did your mother leave you anything?"

Qi Ge'er said: "I had several items originally, but they were all taken away when my house was searched. I only managed to save the peace locket."

"Look, these are your mother's things, the paintings and drawings she made in her boudoir before she married your father. The things in this wooden box are all the little things your mother gave me. I give them all to you."

"aunt……"

"It's the same whether it's given to me or you. I'm better than you. At least your mother left you to me."

"Thank you, auntie!"

Yu Muyan still didn't know why the Yan family was exiled. She had no way to find out. After all, she was a woman with no one in the court. Who could she ask?

I just want to find a way to save Qi Ge'er's father, but I don't know who to ask.

She thought that the only person who could help Qi Ge'er and the Yan family was Qi Motai.

It was Qi Motai again. She had lost count of how many times she had troubled others. It was said that favors were the hardest to repay. Not only did she owe favors again and again, she had also never repaid them.

Qi Motai did a lot for her and she never complained, as if Qi Motai owed her something.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Ge'er asked, "Aunt?"

She came back to her senses and said, "Oh, and there is one more thing. Your mother wrote me a few letters. You can also take a look."

When talking about Siyin, she seemed to have returned to the carefree state before she got married. Even she and Qi Motai were not as estranged as they are now.

Everything seems like it happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, everything has changed and the old friends are gone. I can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Lu Yuxuan is gone, Siyin is also dead, and she is left alone to take care of a group of children. It is both a blessing and a misfortune.

Then she thought that Qi Motai was still there, just the same as before. This was one of her few consolations.

Madam Li came and said, "Madam, someone from the clan is here."

She asked in surprise, "What's it about?"

"No, it doesn't look like anything good. Mother Lin is already entertaining them."

"it is good."

When we arrived at the main hall, we saw the wife of the clan leader and several clan elders.

Seeing that Lin Weiqiao looked calm, Yu Muyan knew it was nothing serious.

The clan leader's wife said as soon as she opened her mouth: "Xuan's daughter-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you. I know it's not easy for you to raise several children by yourself, but you can't just take care of your family. You have to take care of your mother as well. It's a pity for your mother to lose Xuan's son. It's pitiful enough to lose a son in her old age. You are still unfilial and disrespectful to her. How can you be a daughter-in-law?"

Another elder said, "That's right. You are the eldest son and his wife. Logically, you should be in charge of the household affairs, but you can't handle it, so you let Heng's daughter-in-law take over. If you don't manage the family, you should pay the public funds to honor your mother. But I heard that recently your eldest son doesn't even pay the public funds, and you have repeatedly contradicted your mother. Is this true?"

Someone else said, "We've been to see your mother, and she told us to be considerate of you, a widow with three children. But you... actually want to divide the family! When Xuan Ge'er was alive, they didn't dare to ask for a division, but you, it hasn't even been a year since Xuan Ge'er died, and you're already thinking about dividing the family to subsidize your Yu family? You're already sorry to your ancestors for not having a son, how dare you..."

These old ladies were talking back and forth one after another, not to mention Yu Muyan, even Lin Weiqiao felt a headache just listening to them. No wonder there was no movement or fuss from the second house after they said they would not hand over the property to the public. It seemed like they had kept this trick up their sleeve.

Madam Lu and the second wife are shameless, so they won’t be polite either.

Lin Weiqiao said: "Old ladies, do you still remember that our fourth daughter got lost?"

The clan leader's wife was confused, not knowing why she asked this, "It was only a short time ago, how come you don't remember it?"

"Then do you know how the fourth girl was found?"

"This...you didn't tell me, how would I know?"

"It's not that we don't say it, it's really a family disgrace that should not be made public."

"What family scandal?"

This aroused the curiosity of the clan leader's wife and others.

Lin Weiqiao said, "Alas, in fact, the fourth girl was found in the home of the old lady's distant relative. I don't know what the old lady was thinking. She actually hid our fourth girl in that country and didn't tell us, making us mistakenly believe that the fourth girl was lost. Tell me, how could such a thing happen in this world? The old lady is the fourth girl's biological grandmother."

After saying this, Lin Weiqiao couldn't help laughing. She just suddenly thought of something funny.

She also brought up the incident of Hua Jie'er pushing Aunt Lian into the water. All the scandals that had been committed by Old Madam Lu and the Second House were suppressed, and outsiders were unaware of it.

Hearing her say this, the clan leader's wives and others became excited and started discussing the matter among themselves.

At midnight, the moon sets and crows cry.

The atmosphere in Huang Jutang was extremely serious and tense.

The doors and windows were closed, and only two oil lamps were lit, with only Madam Lu and Nanny Yang watching.

Madam Lu sat in front of the desk, and Nanny Yang held an oil lamp to provide light.

After hesitating for a long time, Madam Lu still did not have the courage to open the letter on the desk.

"Madam, please open it." said Madam Yang.

"Everyone was fine, so why did the letter come? Could it be..." Old Madam Lu still didn't dare to speak, as she had too much to consider.

"You'll know once you see it. It's not the first time."

"I have a feeling it's not a good thing."

Old Madam Lu still picked up the letter and read it for half an incense stick of time with her dim eyes.

After reading it, Madam Lu's face suddenly changed and she burned the envelope immediately.
