Even though Aunt was a coward, she was still a clever person. Before she gave me the purse, she already knew that I would go find my wet nurse, and after I found my wet nurse, I found out about my background. In that case, she should have made some moves.

Suddenly, my heart jolted. Could it be that Aunt's cowardice was an act? Such an intelligent person would always be strong. How could there be a wise person who would be willing to be manipulated?

"Aunt is a very nostalgic person." I straightened up and looked at her in the chair. " "Take all the furniture in Grandmother's room to the manor."

A smile flashed across her face, and she looked exceptionally quiet. " "My father passed away early, and I grew up in front of my mother when I was young. I was engaged to have my own courtyard, and from the furniture I saw, it seems that I was still a child."

"But it's still the past after all, isn't it?" "I smiled as I played with the bamboo furnace in my hand." In this family, you seem the weakest, but you are actually the one with the last resort, aren't you? "

"A trace of astonishment and admiration flashed past her eyes." You are a clever child! "

"It wasn't in vain that you gave birth to me!" I should have thought that a merchant's daughter would be looked down upon by others. How could such a woman marry into the house of such an official and become a matriarch? How could she be a fool without any tricks?

"Am I a sword in your hand?" I looked up at her, fighting the pain in my heart.

"My heart is filled with unwillingness." She looked at me with shining eyes. He was unwilling? What was it that he was unwilling to accept?

"Mother, are you regretting that I was born a woman and was unable to return to that rich nest, the Golden and Silver Village?" It was the first time I had ever called her mother, but under such circumstances.

"The corner of her mouth curved into a gentle smile." I'm glad you're a daughter, thanks to being a daughter! "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that beauties bring disaster to us, no?" Was there actually a mother who called her daughter a disaster?

"Aunt is right, then what can I help Aunt with?" I no longer call her mother. This kind of person is unworthy of being a mother. Since there is only hatred in her heart and no kinship, then all of this is just a deal.

"I hope you can take revenge! "Take revenge for me!" "Her expression was calm, as if she was talking about a small matter." Some people feel that they have the power to dictate the life and death of others, and that they can arbitrarily strip others of their qualifications to live. This kind of person, shouldn't he receive some retribution? " A mocking smile slanted across her face.

"How can Aunt be so sure that I will avenge you?"

"Of course I'm not sure. If you were a stupid child, you would only be able to follow the flow. However, if you were an intelligent child, you would naturally not be manipulated." She reached for some white glazed tea bowls and used the lid to stroke the tea floating on the water. She was lazy and demure, and her face was bright with color.

"What news did father bring back?" I asked directly, her eyes flashing with surprise. I probably didn't think I could be this quick on the uptake.

"Prince Qi is coming to patrol the border. He brought her sister Jing and Princess Jing with him."

"Do you know the princess?"

"Her Highness is a lively little girl." Since he had said so, he was afraid that he might not only be acquainted with the princess, but also have a good relationship with her, which was why he decided to avoid the manor.

"I'm about to leave. I'll leave this bracelet for you to think about." She removed a scarlet gold bracelet from her hand. It was embedded with various colored gems that glittered under the sunlight. Seeing this bracelet, I couldn't help but laugh. After being put inside for so long, it was finally revealed that this bracelet was a type of mechanism. The middle was empty and could be used to stuff things, such as silver notes, paper, and so on.

"I will not disappoint you."

"Your wet nurse's daughter was lost on the way back. On the way back, she met bandits, and by the time I went back to look for her, it was already too late. I had no choice but to restrain myself." She had her back to me, and the lines on her back were stiff. After saying so many harsh words, all I wanted was for me to become stronger. I knew that I didn't have the ability to protect myself, so I hoped that my daughter would be able to see through me and not be fooled by others.

After saying that, she turned and left the room without the slightest hesitation. Through the window, I could only see her blurry background as tears flowed down her face. Even if she couldn't protect herself, she would still think of ways to protect her daughter.

When Lu Ping came in, she saw me sitting by the window. She didn't even bother to cry, she just sat beside me. "When I was better, Lu Ping came in with a basin of hot water to wipe my face. She then changed out the handkerchief in my hand that was already wet from my tears." "According to Miss's instructions, I called Mama Chen and Spring Apricot away after a few words, but I didn't call Spring Willow. It's just that Spring Willow found out that Mama Chen and Spring Apricot had left and ran away quietly." I nodded.

After setting up lunch and eating a few mouthfuls of food, with the excuse that I was tired, I went to rest and sent the maids away, and opened the bracelet my aunt had given me. Unlike what I thought, it was a silver note, but instead it was a piece of paper with a list of the officials the Yang family had sent to the Lu family in small print, and I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this piece of paper. It was worth ten thousand gold, and with this piece of paper, it was enough to keep the Lu family in check. She had left this piece of paper to me, and now she was going to the manor.

I changed into a red goldfish embroidery and went into my grandmother's room. The little girl bowed and said that my grandmother was resting and had brought me to her ear. Grandmother loved being big, so the ear chamber was separated from Grandmother's room by a single blue chiffon cabinet, and there was a low cry from inside, followed by the sound of the aunt's voice.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm just going to stay at the manor for the time being. I'll be back soon."

"Let HongLu go with you. This child is very meticulous and appropriate. I don't need to worry about her following you."

"Aren't there still girls by my side? How can mother be lacking them?"

"Old lady, young lady's maidservants have already been carefully warned by me. They will definitely be safe." It was the voice of Mother Du from her grandmother's room. She called her mother 'Miss'.

"Mom, take good care of me."

"Hmm, she's my granddaughter, and she's also very smart. I won't let the Lu family act recklessly."

"Big brother isn't young anymore. Mother should just take a room for him. How can I let big brother mess around like this?"

"I have my own plans for this. You don't have to worry about it." Grandmother changed the subject. It seems Grandmother arranged for me to listen to this conversation. She had thought that her grandmother was no longer a member of the Board. It seemed that she had always had a keen sense of hearing and eyesight.
