"This story starts from my great-grandfather..." Hua Yiren pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then started from the beginning, "When my great-grandfather passed away, he left a piece of phoenix pendant to express how our family would be here in the future. Runan couldn't survive, so he took Fengpei to the Sixth Old Master of Rongruitang... "
Having said this, Hua Yiren stood up, knelt down to her, and said, "I hope my sister won't blame me."
Since it is a seal, Fengpei's role is very great, even so great that she cannot imagine it. Hua Zhuo's eyes flashed, but he couldn't help the surprise in his heart and waited quietly for Hua Yiren to continue.
At this point, if she didn't understand the reason why Hua Yiren didn't follow Hua Daoan and his son, she would be really stupid. Hua Yiren stayed not because her father and brother abandoned her, but because the fifteenth aunt deliberately stayed to be her helper. The arrangements were very thorough. Hua Daoan and his son were used as arms for their father Hua Xu, while Hua Yiren He came to help her, and at the same time, he was also a hostage to ensure that Hua Daoan and his son would not leave Rong'an Hall halfway.
Hua Zhuo quickly helped her up and said with a smile: "Have you proven your virtue and talent now?"
"Sister, please get up."
Although she was confused, she did not rush to ask, but listened quietly to Hua Yiren's continued talk.
Hua Zhuo clenched his five fingers into a fist. Without thinking about it, he knew that the Sixth Old Master was probably forced to death by Rong Ruitang. Otherwise, how could he have died so early in his prime? Tears gradually overflowed from her eyes. She had always thought that Rong'an Hall was isolated and helpless, but it turned out that there had been so many elders who had sacrificed so much for Rong'an Hall...for a trust from her great-grandfather.
"My sister is willing to stand up for me, a collateral sister with whom we have only met once. Not only is she virtuous, but she can also think of ways to take people away from our ancestors. There is no doubt about her talent." Hua Yiren did not accept her help, and insisted. After this ceremony was completed, he smiled and said.
"Sixth brother is my brother from the same mother. He was smart since he was a child and was highly valued by your great-grandfather. He always took him with him. Even the seventh brother was not as much with your great-grandfather as the sixth brother. At that time When I was young, I loved running behind my sixth brother. Later, when your great-grandfather saw that my temperament was stronger than that of ordinary women, he was afraid that I would get into trouble, so he sent me to the old house in Jiulixi to live with the gentle seventh sister-in-law. Enlighten me. Your great-grandfather gave that piece of phoenix pendant to Sixth Brother, and later Sixth Brother entrusted it to Seventeenth Brother for safekeeping. Unfortunately, Sixth Brother's life was short. When he died, he always remembered your great-grandfather's instructions, fearing that if he died, Feng Pei would be taken away from him. No one knows Pei’s secret anymore, so he finally entrusted the matter to me. Sixth brother and I have always been close to each other, and we have also received kindness from the seventh sister-in-law. Sixth brother can trust me... "
At this time, the fifteenth aunt suddenly interjected. The words were a bit wordy, but the meaning was still expressed clearly. No wonder Hua Yiren's great-grandfather left such last words. It turned out that this phoenix pendant was originally entrusted to them by the sixth old man. But... the sixth old man would rather entrust Fengpei to his married sister than leave it to his children. Obviously he can't trust his children.
"You're fine..."
Hua Zhuo was silent for a moment and whispered: "It's because the descendants are incompetent and cannot keep this huge wealth. My great-grandfather hid the wealth probably to protect Rong'an Hall from being coveted."
"But no one would have thought that the Sixth Old Master would pass away early. Although our family's life in Runan was not easy, we managed to survive these years. Until twenty years ago, the fifteenth aunt suddenly brought the Sixth Old Master's The seal and suicide note arrived, I took away the phoenix pendant, and helped our family from time to time. This made our family gradually live a prosperous life. If my brother had not caused a big disaster the year before last and maimed a local dandy in Runan, then our family would have been living a prosperous life. My family insisted that I serve that dandy as a concubine and serve him for the rest of my life before they would let my brother go. Naturally, my father and brother refused, so they took me to live with the fifteenth aunt."
Seeing her reacting so quickly, Hua Yiren said with a smile in her eyes, "I need my sister to take care of me more in the future." After a pause, she returned to the topic and continued: "The secret of this phoenix pendant, after all, It’s also simple, it’s not an ornament, but a seal.”
"This phoenix pendant is of great importance. Since I collected it, I have always been frightened and uneasy every day. Until I went to Beijing with my aunt some time ago, I heard that Sister Zhuo is also here, and she is not timid. Lian Hui Madam dared to refuse even when she came to visit the patient. My sister admired her courage very much, and she immediately had the idea of sending Fengpei back. However, the Sixth Master had something to say in advance, so he did not dare to do it for a while. After a long discussion with my aunt, I decided to give my sister a try."
It's just... She subconsciously touched her chest again. Fengpei was back. Did the aunt think she was both virtuous and talented
The fifteenth aunt sighed happily and said: "With a granddaughter like this, the seventh sister-in-law should also be smiling. Back then, the sixth brother had tried to find out about the seventh brother, but the seventh brother was only worried about the lost family property. Huai, full of resentment, that's why Sixth Brother did not return Fengpei to Rongan Hall. Later, I secretly observed your father. Although his character is upright, he is rarely flexible. If I handed Fengpei to him, I was afraid that he would still be harmed. He, until he heard from you..."
Hua Yiren continued: "My aunt originally accepted the Feng Pei and planned to pass it on to me for further collection..." At this point, she paused for a moment and glanced at Hua Zhuo, "This Feng Pei originally belonged to you."
Hua Yiren nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. That's why Mr. Zeng of your mansion hid most of his family property and used the phoenix pendant as a seal. Only with this seal can the descendants of Rong'an Hall regain those family properties. He entrusted the Feng Pei to the Sixth Grandpa for safekeeping, but Rong Ruitang somehow found out about it and forced the Sixth Grandpa to hand over the Fengpei. The Sixth Grandpa had no choice but to entrust the Fengpei to my great-grandfather and gave it to us. The family fled to Runan and became anonymous from then on. Who would have expected that the sixth old man would walk in front of his great-grandfather, and the world and the world would be separated forever... Before his death, his great-grandfather did not care about anything after his death, and only handed over this phoenix pendant to his grandfather. In the hand, I told you to keep it..."
"Seal?"
"When your mother was bedridden, it showed your filial piety that you could stand up and share the household affairs for her. When Zhuangzi went to the village to make trouble for the tenants, you dared to disguise yourself as a man and personally come forward to deal with it. You don't stick to etiquette. It shows that you are adaptable. This time, my sister-in-law celebrates her birthday. You went to the capital alone, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, so you chose to go to the tiger mountains. Your courage and courage are the best choices, so when Yiren girl suggested that you should try your virtue and talent, I agreed."
Hua Yiren suppressed the smile in her eyes, her expression became serious, and said: "Yes, exactly."
No wonder Hua Yiren sent Feng Pei back last time, but he didn’t clearly explain the purpose of the Feng Pei. He also said before, “If you don’t save me, of course I won’t know.” He made it clear that he wanted to get rid of the trouble, but he didn’t dare. It went against the words of the Sixth Old Master, and that's why she did all these things. If she had ignored Hua Yiren with the intention of saving one thing and saving another, then she would never know Fengpei's secret.
"It's a pity that I am always a girl."
She never knew, and even resented the ruthlessness of her relatives. In her last life, she would rather seek refuge with her uncle's family than ask for help from her relatives. She just assumed that all her relatives wanted to harm her, but it turned out to be a big mistake.
The fifteenth aunt immediately stared and said angrily: "So what if I am a daughter? Can't I do big things? If I had thought like you at the beginning, I would not have agreed to Brother Six to take over this phoenix. If you don't want it, I also gave the phoenix pendant to Yiren girl, so you don’t have to worry about anything in the future."
Defect to Rongruitang? Hua Zhuo was startled and subconsciously touched the location of the Feng Pei on his chest. His eyes were full of doubts. Since he had defected to Rong Ruitang, why did he give the Feng Pei to her
Hua Zhuo suddenly smiled bitterly. There was no need for the aunt to use this provoking method. Since Fengpei was the property of Rong'an Hall and she had already got it, how could she hand it back again. No matter what secrets Feng Peili hides, she has to take responsibility even if she doesn't want to.
She reached out to touch Hua Zhuo's temples, her eyes were much kinder than before, less strong, and she looked more like a kind old lady.
Hua Zhuo lost her voice. This was beyond her expectation. In fact, she had guessed the purpose of the phoenix pendant. Apart from its decorative function, it was nothing more than a token. But it turned out to be a seal. This was really unimaginable.
"My aunt, it was Zhuoer who made a mistake." She bowed slightly to the fifteenth aunt, then looked at Hua Yiren, and said slowly: "I think sister Yiren has a plan. I think this is why my aunt originally decided to pass on Feng Pei. The reason I gave it to my sister is that Zhuo'er is young and may be careless in his actions. I ask my sister to help me more in the future."
If she had not experienced the tragedy of her family being destroyed, she would never have understood her great-grandfather's painstaking efforts. In the last life, Rong'antang was already like this, and it did not escape the fate of the family and other direct descendants joining forces to divide it, let alone such a huge family business back then.
The fifteenth aunt nodded secretly, not panicking at all. It was rare for the eighth girl to be able to keep her temper at this time.
Hua Zhuo was silent. She didn't know if Mr. Zeng had such last words back then, but she thought that Mrs. Fifteenth would not lie to her, otherwise the phoenix pendant would not be returned to her. Rongantang has really been in trouble these past few years. If this Feng Pei really has a secret, I'm afraid it will still be the source of trouble. How can it still be peaceful until now
