280, Chapter 280

Master Wei felt that he was in a trance for a moment, and then he came to a courtyard.

The courtyard was small and narrow, and it was dark and dark, which made him frown as he had lived in the mansion since he was a child.

A woman's shrill voice suddenly sounded, "Why did you pull me here for no reason? I was eating!"

He was a little curious and walked over to the sound. He found that there were two women standing in the corner of the courtyard, wearing linen clothes, and they were obviously maids.

One of them looked unhappy and asked in a low voice, "Didn't I ask you to take care of the young lady last night? Why was there no one in the room when I came here this morning?"

The other rolled his eyes in disdain, "What young lady? She's just a child born by a slave. Look at the Third Madam and the Third Master, and the Old Master, who cares?"

"You're asking for your life. Even if the lady is not favored, she is still our master!"

"Sister Yang, don't pretend with me. It's you who eats the young lady's meals every day. And the hairpin left by her mother, it is said that it was awarded by the Third Madam. Did you take it?"

Master Wei looked at the maid who was clearly wearing a maid's clothes but looked disdainful. He didn't recognize her, but he felt disgusted.

I don't know which family the maid is from. From what they said, they dared to despise the young master in the mansion.

The maid who had originally questioned why no one was in the room last night also looked weak and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just that the young lady is young, I'm helping her to look after her."

"Look after her? Sister Yang, your brother just got married, right? Your family is very poor, and we are maids who sold ourselves to come in, and we only have so much monthly salary. Where did your brother get the money to marry his wife? I don't need to say more, right?"

"Okay, I also know that you coaxed the young lady to get her monthly salary from her, you don't have to look at me like that, I don't intend to report you, She is so unpopular that even if she complains, the masters above will probably ignore her. We are all unlucky to follow an unpopular master. In the future, you will still coax her and I will still be lazy. We will not hinder each other. "

The girl struggled for a while and finally gritted her teeth, "You'd better remember what you said. If you report me, you will not end up well!"

After that, the two girls left the yard. Master Wei looked at their beautiful backs and put himself in the shoes of his daughter's servants. He was so angry that his teeth itched.

Sly slave!!

Really a sly slave!!

He was immersed in anger and couldn't extricate himself. Suddenly, he remembered something was wrong. He had never been to this yard. Where is this?

Father just...

By the way, father just said that he wanted him to see the life of Jiao Niang's sister.

Master Wei looked around and found that there was indeed a little girl hiding behind the water tank in the yard. She looked cute, squatting, with red eyes, but her little hands covered her mouth tightly to prevent her from sobbing.

She was indeed a poor child.

Master Wei sighed. The conversation between the two maids just now was clearly heard by the child. She must be unpopular. The yard was dilapidated, and the maids were so frivolous. Maybe the maid who scolded others at the beginning was the only one who treated her well.

But when she knew that everything was just to coax the moon silver in her hand, she was naturally very sad.

I didn't expect Jiao Niang's sister to be so pitiful.

Just when he thought of this, the scene in front of him suddenly became hazy. Master Wei was dizzy and dazzled. Just as he staggered to stand firm, it suddenly rained heavily in front of him.

He realized that he was standing on the rockery. Next to him, the child was sitting with her knees hugged and crying in the rain. Her hair was wet and her face was pale, which made the red marks on her face more conspicuous.

What happened? Who hit her?

Master Wei was also in the rain, looking down at the girl.

Suddenly, the rain stopped.

A gentle voice sounded, "What happened to Yan Niang? Why is she hiding here crying alone?"

Master Wei was shocked and looked up at the woman in a light pink dress. She lowered her head, her eyes were full of worry, her face was young and beautiful, and even if she was standing quietly, she had a gentle beauty.

Master Wei couldn't help but call out, "Jiao Niang..."

They have been married for more than ten years. At first, he was busy studying, and then he entered the officialdom. After that, he always followed his superiors to do things. The couple were rarely together, and there were so many trivial matters that he almost forgot what his wife looked like.

Now it seems that his wife was really beautiful.

Master Wei looked at his wife. She was holding an umbrella in her white hand, covering her sister who was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged tightly, so that she didn't get wet at all.

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Sure enough, his wife was always so gentle and charming.

Master Wei watched his young wife take the little sister called Yan Niang back home. She did not dislike the dirty clothes on her sister, but led her into the house personally, took the medicine and gently applied it on Yan Niang's face.

While applying the medicine, she asked in a gentle voice who beat Yan Niang.

After that, the two sisters had a very happy time.

They did everything together. If the elder sister had a bite of food, she would also send it to the younger sister. Because Yan Niang had a good relationship with the eldest sister in the first room, the brothers and sisters who always bullied her did not dare to tease the little sister anymore, and Yan Niang's face gradually smiled more.

In her heart, her elder sister was the most important.

She would be happy for a long time because of her sister's smile, and would go back to the yard to practice writing until late at night because of her praise.

Master Wei couldn't help but feel envious. Although he was close to his younger brother and sister, it was not to this extent. His younger brother was okay. Although the age difference between them was large, it was not much. It was just that he was naughty when he was young, and he was still out of tune now, which made Master Wei always scold him.

The younger sister was well-behaved, but the age difference was too big. Master Wei and his wife almost raised this younger sister as a daughter, and the younger sister seemed to regard him as a father, with admiration and respect, but she never dared to act like a spoiled child with him as the eldest brother.

Jiao Niang, on the other hand, had always had a good relationship with her younger sister. Now it seems that when she was not married, she also took care of her sisters at home just like she took care of Zi Ning.

Master Wei praised again, saying that his wife was indeed of noble character.

The good days of the two sisters did not last long. The elder sister gave the younger sister a jade pendant, which was her favorite thing. She hoped that the younger sister with this jade pendant would not be looked down upon by the sisters in the third room.

But it was this jade pendant that made the other girls in the third room feel more and more aggrieved. Why was it this maid's daughter who was treated differently by the most favored elder sister in the mansion?

An accident that several girls had prepared happened. The jade pendant that the younger sister had carefully cherished was broken into two pieces.

She did not dare to see her sister again, because when her sister gave her the jade pendant, she said that it was her favorite thing and hoped that her sister could keep it well.

But now, the jade pendant was broken.

And at this time, the mansion began to divide the family.

The younger sister was anxious. She wanted to see her sister, but on the way there, she was stopped by several illegitimate sisters in the third room. She usually did not dare to resist, but she was too anxious that day. She was afraid that she would not see her sister again and would not have the opportunity to meet in the future.

I don’t know who pushed her, and the younger sister fell into the lake.

She was quickly fished out. Because she was fished out quickly, and one of the illegitimate girls had a favored mother, the matter was suppressed silently.

The younger sister never got out of bed again. She asked the maid in the room to pass a message to her elder sister, but because the illegitimate elder sister was worried that her younger sister would take the opportunity to complain, she bribed the maid not to pass the message, but only lied to her that the house was busy, and she couldn't even enter the yard.

In the end, the younger sister, who was not completely cured, sat in the carriage and followed her father on the road.

On the road, she was very uncomfortable. The disease never got better. She was almost confused all the way until she met bandits in an inn. Ordinary people without money in the inn were killed, and the rich were kidnapped. Because she was sick and looked like a dead person, and she was a young child, the bandits didn't bother to kill her and threw her directly into the pile of corpses.

She had a high fever and lay on the corpses for a day and a night.

Until a caravan passed by, the guards came to check and found the younger sister who was still alive and took her back.

The convoy was escorting Princess Liang. Princess Liang took her in, treated her illness, taught her to read, and raised her like a daughter.

She wanted to go home and find her sister, but she was too young. All she remembered about her home was a courtyard and her elder sister who was called Jiao Niang.

Princess Liang helped her find it, but she never got any news of the missing child from the people who were rescued from the bandits by the government that day.

In the end, it can only be assumed that her sister's family died in the inn.

She was raised by Princess Liang. In her sister's eyes, Princess Liang was her second sister. She was gentle, kind, and always spoke to her in a gentle voice.

Until she grew up and her appearance developed, the prince suddenly fell in love with her.

She would rather die than obey, and the princess was not in the mansion. Finally, she was thrown into a dark place, fed with insects every day, and lived a life of neither life nor death.

It was very painful, but she was weak all over and couldn't even want to die.

During these days, she thought about her sister and Princess Liang, and wanted to see them.

Even if she could only see them once.

Until one day, the sun shone on her body, and she felt so painful that she fainted.

She had never hated anyone, her father, her sisters, but at the moment when she knew she was going to die, she still hated them.

She didn't hate the prince for making her neither human nor ghost, but she only hated him for blocking her chance to see her sister and Princess Liang.

When she woke up again, she was floating in the river.

She looked pale, looking at Master Wei in front of her, and inexplicably felt that she should follow him.

Why follow him?

It must be because he was an enemy.

So she climbed onto his neck and followed him all the way to his home.

This is Yan Niang's life.

Master Wei opened his eyes.

Under his father's gaze, he touched his neck.

No wonder he said that his neck was always sore during that time.

The relationship was hanging on someone.
