"Who are you?" You Miao couldn't believe it. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly thought of a person. It was the person he heard when his parents were arguing when he was very young: Mrs. Wang.

"You don't know me, but I know you." The woman's calm voice revealed a little nervousness, and she said slowly: "Your mother is Qiao Ke'er, tsk tsk, these eyes and eyebrows are simply printed in a mold. ."

The woman raised her chin slightly, with a look of disgust in her eyes that could not be concealed. You Miao was a little taller than her and looked at her condescendingly.

"Mrs. Wang." You Miao said lightly, "I'm lucky to meet you, why did you come to my house? It's time to call you Aunt Qiao?"

Wang Shi's expression changed immediately, and he snorted heavily. Aunt Ma said, "Now you're my wife, You Miao, you can..."

Wang stopped Aunt Ma and said coldly, "Forget it, when his father comes back, let him tell him in person."

You Miao was impatient and chatted with Wang Shi too much, and asked her maid, "When will my father come back?"

The maid was stunned and looked up at Mrs. Wang. Aunt Ma interrupted and replied, "Your father and the eldest young master went to Yangzhou to check the accounts..."

Before a sentence was finished, You Miao's mind was buzzing, and the world was spinning.

sir...

You Miao sneered. Aunt Ma's words were really offensive. You Miao instantly understood the reason for the abnormality in the family. During the three years that she went to Beijing to study, her father not only continued the chorus, but also put Wang's family. Straightened up.

More sons at home...

what does that mean

You Miao turned around and did it, leaving Aunt Ma to cover her mouth and laugh, but the Wang family did not allow him to leave so lightly, and said, "Stop."

You Miao's face changed again and asked, "What?"

Wang Shi said, "Is this person following you? Why don't you know the etiquette? I heard that Shi Qi'er followed you to Beijing..."

You Miao replied: "Li Zhifeng has never entered the house, and Madam still wants to slap him with a stick, so can you kill me?"

Wang shi really had this thought in mind and couldn't cure You Miao, so he would beat the servants who followed him, but You Miao had anticipated her meaning first, and said with a smile, "Li Zhifeng, tell me, you have killed before. how many people?"

Li Zhifeng looked at a large celadon tank in the courtyard. The colorful goldfish in the tank were swimming around, reflecting the clear sky and blank clouds.

After a long time, Li Zhifeng said: "One hundred and fifteen. Sixteen Han, seventy-one Tatars, one Quanrong, two Udi, twelve Qiang, one Xianbei, four Jie people, seven Xiongnu people, one child." Said Bi raised his eyes to look at You Miao.

Several people didn't speak, and Aunt Ma showed that expression, obviously muttering in her heart.

You Miao was also frightened. Although he was calm on the surface, he thought that these people should think that Li Zhifeng was lying, but Li Zhifeng should not lie to him.

"Didn't you... come to the Central Plains at the age of fifteen or sixteen?" You Miao asked.

Li Zhifeng said: "They were all killed before leaving the customs."

You Miao laughed, raised her eyebrows at Wang Shi, and looked at her expression, but said to Li Zhifeng.

"When you live at home, if someone wants to hit you or take you, unless I nod your head, you can ignore it. If someone dares to do something to you, you can fight back. Don't kill someone."

"Got it." Li Zhifeng said.

"Let's go." You Miao said with a smile.

Wang's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't dare to say anything rashly. You Miao and Li Zhifeng left along the corridor of the second door. As soon as they passed the corridor, the smile on You Miao's face suddenly disappeared, and his face darkened.

Li Zhifeng still looked like that, following behind You Miao.

You Miao walked for a short distance, leaning beside the porch, panting for a while, all the thoughts in her mind were a mess, and she had to take a break and sort out everything clearly.

"Let's go." You Miao's voice became hoarse. He led Li Zhifeng through the garden. A maid held the cat and opened her mouth. You Miao stopped.

"Master, you live in the east wing," said a maid.

"Hey." You Miao smiled angrily: "Even the room was changed for me?"

The eldest son lives in the main room, the second son lives in the east wing, and the daughter and concubine live in the west wing. Without Yu Dechuan's order, who would dare to move Yumiao's room? Taking advantage of his absence, he moved all his belongings to the East Wing, which meant that he had been downgraded to the second son.

But You Miao didn't get angry, and didn't leave. His father was not at home, so it was useless to make trouble now, it was just a joke. He followed the road through the garden of the main house and glanced at the front of his former house, only to see the myna that was raised three years ago, hanging under the eaves, the flowers he planted, and the goldfish in the glass jar, all gone, replaced by It was a piece of phoenix-tailed bamboo, blocking the door of the house.

You Miao arrived in front of the east wing, which seemed to have been renovated once. The pond in front of the rockery was built with new stones, the columns and the eaves were painted with new paint, and the bird cages were lined up and hung under the eaves.

Father was more or less interested, but You Miao felt even more angry in her heart. A servant in the courtyard was sweeping the floor. He used to serve You Miao, whose name was Mu Qi, and now he hurriedly threw his broom and shouted: " Master!"

You Miao knew that his face must be ugly, he didn't even say a word, he entered the room, and slammed the door.

Li Zhifeng and Mu Qi stood in the courtyard, looked at each other, and were speechless for a while.

The furnishings in the room were still the same, You Miao was lying on the bed, thinking over and over again, she really didn't believe that she would encounter such a thing.

There was an extra Wang family out of thin air, and an eldest son who had never met? The sky has changed. The eldest son said that he can change it. Is this something that can be changed easily? ! You Miao suddenly got up angrily, and went to the main room to ask questions. He walked around the room twice, but sat down in a slump, like a nightmare.

When the moon came out, Mu Qi knocked on the door and said, "Master, it's time to eat."

You Miao fell into a drowsy sleep and woke up with a splitting headache. Mu Qi came over with the food box, but You Miao was not angry, but said lightly, "Where are the others? Chunxiang, Mingye and the others?"

Mu Qi said, "I've already dispatched to serve the eldest young master. I didn't expect the young master to come back so soon. There are not a few people in the east wing. Tomorrow, the younger one will urge Steward Lin to see when..."

"Forget it." You Miao said, "Let's talk about it when Dad comes back, you can eat it yourself, you don't have to wait."

Mu Qi set up the food in the back room and built the brazier. The dishes were still the same as before. He didn't dare to shorten You Miao by half a point. You Miao knew that Wang Shi couldn't have deducted him from eating it, otherwise, when You Dechuan came back, he would ask about it. Hard to say.

Li Zhifeng simply packed his bags and sat in the outhouse with Muqi to eat. You Miao's throat was full of bitterness, and he didn't know why he had a bad taste. He only moved a few chopsticks and went back to the bed. Candles, turn off the lights and sleep, the dead East Wing is silent all night.
