"Rescued the old lady?"
"Yes! Otherwise, how could she be an aunt living in the house until now? It's just that she is indifferent by nature and rarely interacts with others."
Li Qingyi thought about what she said carefully and felt that the aunt she was talking about should be Zhen Zhen's grandfather's aunt, otherwise she wouldn't have said, "How could she have lived in the mansion until now."
Generally, after the death of a man, the old aunts in the mansion, if they have no children and can get some favor, will be sent out of the mansion to take care of themselves. Those who are not welcome will be sent to the family temple or nunnery for repair.
"I heard that when my grandmother went to Dapudu Temple to offer incense, she was caught in a fire. It was this old aunt who rushed into the fire to save her. Not only did she burn her face, but she also couldn't save the baby in her belly. The old lady is grateful to her. To save her life, I found the best medicine to remove her scars.”
Zhen Zhen's temperament is that she likes to talk and ask. She also asked Mrs. Zhen about this matter. Mrs. Zhen couldn't say how her father-in-law's aunt was doing, but she couldn't help Zhen Zhen and kept asking her like a rice cake, so she told her Got her.
Li Qingyi wondered: "There have always been many disagreements between the main wife and the concubines. Even if they are of the same mind, there are very few who can risk their lives to save each other. This old aunt is very loyal to your grandmother."
Zhen Zhen shook her head and lowered her voice and said: "That's not true. It is said that my grandfather doted on Aunt He very much. Aunt He was so spoiled that her grandmother hated her. I heard that when I went to offer incense that day, Aunt He said she would do something for her. She prayed for the child in her belly, and my grandfather allowed her to go with my grandmother. My grandmother even had a quarrel with my grandfather because of this. Who would have thought that if something went wrong, it would be her who saved my grandmother..."
"Really? It shows that she has a good heart..."
"Yes, my grandmother felt the same way, and she lost all her children because of this incident. My grandmother felt guilty, and she even asked my grandfather to get close to her, hoping to make her pregnant with another one. She said that Aunt He had a child. She must be treated like her own son, but Aunt He was injured and has been suffering from illness. It took two years for the scars on her face to heal, so my grandfather had long forgotten her."
Li Qingyi thought to himself, this old Uncle Rongchang is not a worry-free person. First he quarreled with the old lady over his concubine, and later there was a new person forgetting the old one. He was a complete scumbag.
Zhen Zhen paused and then said: "My grandmother saw that Aunt He lost her child and lost her favor in order to save her. She felt guilty and regarded her as one of her own. She has never treated her badly in these years. But Aunt He has lost her temper since then, doesn’t go out much, and spends the whole day eating, fasting, and praying to Buddha. I thought that Aunt He must have liked my grandfather very much, so she was heartbroken, and she became like this!"
Li Qingyi listened to her and thought about it in his heart.
The problem must have been the fire.
Could it be that the real Aunt He is dead?
But even if the bag is lost, what will happen to the appearance?
Even though she couldn't see people because of the burn and kept wearing a veil, but her scars were healed later, hasn't anyone discovered that she doesn't look like Aunt He?
Could it be that she looks somewhat similar to Aunt He?
This is too much of a coincidence.

Outside the city, Mr. Lin Wenye, the third master of Lin family, took his girl Chenlu and his two young men to search the place where Zou's mother and son had an accident several times, but found nothing.
Master Lin San watched the boy busy at first, but then he started digging in the snow in a hurry. Chen Lu secretly scolded him for being stupid and said: "Master, the people from Dali Temple have been searching for a long time." Again, it seems that there is really nothing here, so we can only look around."
Lin Wenye felt tired and depressed. He stood up and sighed. He looked around at the deserted woods and said, "How can we find it in such a large forest? Maybe Yan Qiao is not dead at all."
Chen Lu said: "If Yan Qiao is not dead, why doesn't she return home?"
According to her, if Yan Qiao had not died, she would have reported back to the government as soon as possible. Even if she was seriously injured and found a place to recuperate, she should have sent a message to the government in time. After all, her bond of sale was all there. Lin Mansion will be back sooner or later.
Lin Wenye was not a smart person, so he would never have thought that the murderer was right next to him. Yan Qiao was too frightened to go back, so he agreed with Chen Lu's statement and felt that Yan Qiao must be dead.
"If Yan Qiao was eaten by a wolf, it must not have been here. Otherwise, the bodies of several people who died there at that time might not have been preserved. After all, wolves live in groups."
Even if it's not just one wolf that picks one, it's several wolves that pick one. It's not like a group of wolves all pick one Yanqiao to gnaw on, eat it up, and then retreat!
Therefore, what Chen Lu meant was that Yan Qiao was not dead at that time, but something happened to him on the way back home. He was either silenced by the murderer or carried away by a wolf.
No matter which one it is, they should search carefully nearby.
A boy said: "Sir, if Yan Qiao was silenced by the murderer, the murderer would probably hide his traces and it would be difficult to find. Why don't we search near the wolf den first?"
"Looking for a wolf den?"
Lin Wenye felt a little cold in his back, but thinking about his situation, he had the courage to ask: "How to find the wolf's den?"
The boy said: "I heard that wolf poop turns white after it's dried. Let's take a look around and maybe we can find it!"
Lin Wenye never thought that one day he would have to do this kind of shit-seeking thing, and he felt depressed one after another, "Let's go into the woods!"

In Zhen Mansion, Li Qingyi and Zhen Zhen are still discussing the topic they just had.
Li Qingyi asked: "Is Aunt He beautiful?"
Zhen Zhen looked at her strangely: "Of course she is beautiful. If she is not beautiful, how can she be chosen by my grandfather as his aunt? I heard that she was abducted by a kidnapper when she was young, and then sold by a gangster to be a maid in our house. , the longer it grows, the more juicy it becomes, and then she becomes an aunt!"
Li Qingyi was a little dumbfounded. This little girl really dared to say anything, even her own grandfather dared to arrange it.
But if you put it this way, if this person in the courtyard is related to Master Mu Mu Yuanchang, she will definitely not be Aunt He, the concubine of Uncle Rongchang.
The two of them walked and talked until they arrived at the garden of the house.
As Zhen Zhen said, her plum blossoms bloomed very well.
However, there are already people admiring the plum blossoms there.
It was Zhen Zhen's brother, the eldest young master of the Zhen family, and Gongsun Yi, who came with Princess Zhenbei.
Li Qingyi's footsteps paused.
Knowing Qin Zeng's life experience, he would inevitably be a little worried when he saw Gongsun Yi again.
Gongsun Yi probably looks more like Princess Zhenbei, and her appearance is not very similar to that of Qin Changzheng, but upon closer inspection, both of them have very straight and tall noses, and they probably followed King Zhenbei.
In fact, compared to Gongsun Yi, Li Qingyi was really curious about Princess Zhenbei.
