The girl's determined tone made Grandma Fang feel happy and distressed at the same time.
I am happy that the girl has grown up and her heart has become clearer, but I am sad that the little girl who was full of admiration for her grandmother has to grow up.
Aunt Fang held Xin You's hand and said in a low voice: "Young lady's guess is right. After I accompanied you to the capital, I followed the madam's instructions and handed all these to the old lady."
At that time, she also tactfully expressed her worries to Madam regardless of her status.
The lady who was seriously ill in bed smiled when she heard this and said to her: "When I go, the person Qingqing is closest to in the world is her grandmother. My mother will take care of Qingqing and cherish her."
She could not forget the sadness hidden in Madam's eyes when she said this, and she immediately understood how useless her worries were.
How could Madam not think of worries that even a servant like her could think of? However, the master passed away unexpectedly, and the wife could no longer hold on. The girl was the only orphan left in the great Kou family. If the girl is not sent to the capital to seek protection from her grandfather's family, not to mention saving millions of dollars in wealth, even the girl's life will not be saved.
Thinking of this, Grandma Fang clenched her fists and felt sad for the mistress who died young.
Madam knows that in the end, millions of dollars in wealth still failed to give the girl a stable life.
"Does grandma know about this book?" Xin You's eyes fell on the thin book.
Aunt Fang shook her head, with a look of hesitation on her face.
Xin You pursed her lips: "Is there anything else that nanny can't say to me? It's just that I don't understand what I'm hearing. I have nanny to teach me."
After hearing this, Grandma Fang stared at the girl with a calm expression, and once again felt that the girl had really grown up.
I still remember the day she was driven away. She begged the girl regardless of her face, but the girl looked away and didn't look at her again.
Aunt Fang raised her hand and gently smoothed the girl's messy hair: "Madam once told me that when the girl grows up, if she gets married to her cousin or gets married decently, this booklet will be burned secretly. If the girl marries someone else and the dowry is decent, let the old slave show this book to the girl, so that the girl can have an idea and live her own life well from now on. The old slave never thought that before the girl could I gave you this booklet to read on the day I came out of the cabinet, my poor girl..."
Aunt Fang held Xin You in her arms and cried, and Xin You also felt sad for Kou Qingqing.
She grew up being loved and loved by her mother. From these words of Grandma Fang, one can understand a mother's love for her daughter. It's a pity that even though she made all kinds of plans and made every concession for her daughter, she still couldn't resist the evil and greed of the human heart.
"What are you going to do next, girl?" Nanny Fang asked, wiping her eyes.
"Naturally, the next step is to take good care of your health first. The nanny stayed with me all night last night, so go and rest early."
"I'm not tired, I'm staying with you girl."
"Nanny, you have a good body so you can take care of me."
Aunt Fang no longer insisted, and Xiaolian accompanied her to the tidied room to rest.
Xiaolian stayed vigil at night, and Xinyou called her in from the outside and took out the account books to show her.
The numbers on the booklet shocked Xiaolian so much that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time and murmured: "This booklet was left by the lady...servant, you shouldn't read it..."
With so much money and so much land, how could she, a little maid, deserve to see all this!
Xin You couldn't laugh or cry: "Then who can watch?"
"Of course it's a girl -" Xiaolian blurted out, and only when she met those clear eyes did she realize that this was not her girl.
Maybe it was the small back room that brought them closer together, or maybe it was the trust they had built up after getting along for a few days. At this moment, Xiaolian suddenly broke down, covering her face and crying.
Xin You raised his hand and gently put it on her shoulder: "In a few days, I will accompany you to find Miss Kou."
Three days later, Xin You left Wanqingju for the first time and went to Ruyi Hall to pay his respects to the old lady.
"My cousin is here." The maid guarding the door was a little surprised to see Xin You coming.
The old lady also looked surprised: "Qingqing, why are you here?"
"I feel so relaxed today. Come and say hello to grandma." Xin You knelt down and saluted.
"Come and sit next to grandma." The old lady waved her hand, showing a look of disapproval, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of her? I'm not in a hurry to say hello at this time."
Xin You sat down next to the old lady and raised her head slightly: "It's really good. I'm bored sitting here all the time. I might as well come and stay with my grandma."
The eldest lady Qiao smiled after hearing this and said: "Young people are young and recover quickly. Old lady, you should feel relieved now."
The old lady smiled and nodded, and asked Xinyou: "Has Qingqing remembered anything else?"
Xin You lowered her eyes and looked depressed: "No. Apart from remembering the wet nurse, I still can't remember anything else."
"That's it -" the old lady patted the back of Xin You's hand, "Don't be anxious, take your time. It doesn't matter even if you can't remember it, the days will pass later."
Xin You nodded obediently and said softly: "Grandma, I want to go out tomorrow."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and her face became a little more serious: "This is just right, why do you want to go out?"
Xin You replied: "I want to visit the old couple who saved me and express my gratitude to them."
"It's appropriate to say thank you. Just let the steward deliver the thank you gift. Why do you have to go in person." The old lady disagreed.
Mrs. Qiao said nothing with a smile on her lips. Mrs. Zhu, who never spoke much in front of the old lady, spoke up: "What the old lady said is true. Qingqing, your health is just right. It's better not to go out and work hard and take good care of yourself."
Xin You couldn't help but glance at Zhu.
From the old wild ginseng when visiting the doctor to the talkative talk at this time, the second wife seemed to be kind to Miss Kou.
There is another fundamental factor that allows Xin You to make this judgment: interests.
When something happens to Kou Qingqing, the biggest beneficiary is not the concubine's family.
Xin You bowed slightly to Mr. Zhu: "I know my elders love me, but as the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. That old couple saved my life. If I can't even express my gratitude in person, I really can't feel at ease. .”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, gently took the old lady's sleeve and shook it: "Grandma, just agree. If I don't fulfill this wish, I will never be at ease."
"This -" the old lady hesitated.
"Grandma, please."
The girl's eager look finally made the old lady relax: "Then go early and come back early, and bring more guards."
"Thank you grandma."
"Go back and rest." The old lady glanced at everyone in the room and said, "You guys too."
Everyone responded and filed out.
Xin You walked slowly behind, turning her head to look at the third girl, Duan Yunling, who was sitting next to her, and caught the tangled look on her face that she quickly concealed.
"Is something wrong with Cousin Ling?"
"Cousin Qing, why don't you take Taoist Master's words to heart? You would rather believe it than believe it. What if you run into trouble again when you go out?" Duan Yunling whispered.
"Third sister, what are you whispering to cousin Qing?" Duan Yunwan, the eldest girl, appeared in front of the two of them with a slight smile.
