C517 Eerie sobs

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not. If the young master is allowed to return and drip blood, how will the young master be able to establish his foothold in the capital in the future? The young master has great ambitions, and he will be a great general in the future. Miss, you must not let the young master ruin his reputation." Qing Dai said with a frown.

Lian Ru Yue tightly pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Her mother's' will to die 'could only burn her eyebrows at the moment, delaying Lian Yan Qing's return to find Lian Meng for a while. In the end, it couldn't completely solve the problem.

Seeing Lian Ruyue frown, Qing Dai dismissed the others, leaving her and Leng Mei to accompany them.

Lian Xiyue stood up and said, "I'm going to visit Aunt Xi."

However, just as she was about to leave, her aunt Lian Xi had arrived.

"Auntie Xi?" Lian Ruyue's face revealed doubt and deep emotions as she asked, "But does Grandmother have any news?"

Lian Xi shook her head and said, "Your grandmother believes in your mother. I also told her that Xiao Shi's words cannot be trusted. You can temporarily rest assured."

When Lian Ruyue heard this, her heart trembled slightly. "Aunt Xi, you …"

"Yi'er is a good child. When I came back from my husband's house that year, this child treated me extremely well. Yue Er, this is no small matter. You have to think of a way to protect him no matter what."

Lian Xi's words made Lian Xiyue understand eighty to ninety-percent of it. So she was also a person who knew about him and had kept it a secret for her mother for so many years.

"Aunty Xi, I was just about to go find you. I wanted to ask if you still remember Fifth Sister's Immortal appearance back then." Lian Ruyue said.

"Celestial appearance?" Lian Xi nodded and said, "I naturally remember that back then, her beauty and talent far surpassed Lian Shiya's. She was favored by your grandmother and father, and she was often brought along to some banquets.

Once, on the birthday of the princess of Anguo, when she was singing a poem on the spot, the literati praised her, praised her for her quick thinking and brilliant literary talent, and even received a compliment from the princess of Anguo. The princess of Anguo also said that she was gifted and was a rare woman, and after that, your grandmother and father became even more fond of her, even bringing along a banquet at the palace. "Unfortunately, she died too early."

"Auntie Xi, do you still remember how Fifth Sister died?"

"At that time, it was the beginning of spring, and a few of the young sisters went to admire the peach blossoms at the Nine Flowers Temple. You also went there, but after you came back, you didn't go back with her, and she found her in a trap on the mountain the next day. According to her, when she was admiring the flowers, there were too many of them and they accidentally strayed away from each other.

Not long after he returned, he began to get sick, and it was very strange, first his body started to itch, then his skin started to fester, and then his entire body started to emit a smell, and then the smell got stronger and stronger, and from afar, he could smell a bad smell. At first, Aunt Su used a powder to cover it up for him, but no matter how thick the powder was later, it couldn't be covered up.

Lian Ruyue listened quietly while organizing her thoughts in her mind.

Back then, she was already a muddle-headed person. Moreover, she was still young and had a very good relationship with Auntie Xiao, so she didn't pay much attention to Lian Xian's death. Back then, there was a rumor in the manor that the First Madam could not tolerate the Fifth Miss and had caused her death.

But after her rebirth, when she thought back to Lian Xian's death, she felt that there was something fishy about it. Last time when Aunt Su was sick, she thought of this matter again.

Now that she heard her aunt Xi say so, she felt even more strongly that someone had done something to Lian Xian, pushing the blame onto her mother.

"Qingdai, quickly go to Madame Su's place and ask her for the portrait of Fifth Miss Lian Lian Xian." Lian Ruyue immediately ordered.

Last time, she had secretly helped Aunt Su, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to get a portrait this time.

"Yue Er, why did you suddenly ask about the appearance of immortals? Could it be …" Lian Xi asked.

"Auntie Xi, time is of the essence. Mother is dead. Father is still hesitating on whether he should call Lian Fu to come back and bleed. I must get him to give up on Lian Fu before he makes up his mind." Lian Ruyue said.

Sure enough, Blue Dai successfully obtained the portrait of Lian Xian — —

He saw that the woman in the portrait had snow-white skin and beautiful features. She wore a watery blue dress, and her white hair was tied into a bun with a pink and white silk flowers. Her temperament was very different from Lian Shiya's back then.

"Little Yue Er, what do you want this painting of celestial beauty for?" Lian Xi asked.

"Leng Mei, take advantage of the night to secretly hang the portrait of the Fifth Miss in Aunt Xiao's room." Lian Ruyue gave the portrait to Leng Mei and ordered.

"You suspect her …" Lian Xi's heart skipped a beat.

"Auntie Xi, Grandmother has requested your help." Lian Ru Yue didn't say anything.

Lian Xi understood and cautiously warned:

"Don't worry, your grandmother listens to what I say. I'll speak up for your mother and Yi'er. Be careful of yourself, this is no small matter. It won't be easy for your father."

"Yes." Lian Ruyue nodded.

West yard.

Aunt Xiao laid on the bed. Although her body was in pain, she was very happy in her heart. She was originally going to kill Rong Xue, but she didn't expect to discover such a big secret — —

"Rong Xue, you are still as stupid as before. If it wasn't for your daughter Lian Ru Yue, you would have already rolled down from the position of Patriarch Lian's mother. However, it's not too late to come down now. Even though I can't sit on that seat anymore, if I can pull you down and compensate you for your children, I, Xiao Xian Min, won't be at a loss. "

Now that she knew about the secret of Rong Xue, even if Yan Qing wanted to find out the answer, he would keep her for the time being. This meant that she still had a chance to live.

As she thought about it, she suddenly felt thirsty, so she stood up to pour some water. However, she accidentally pulled on the wound behind her, causing her tears to fall from her eyes due to the pain.

But at this moment, the door suddenly opened, a gust of cold wind blew in, and she subconsciously covered her face with her sleeve. The candle flame in the room was extinguished, and the inside of the room turned dark.

"Wuwuwu …" All of a sudden, she heard a burst of faint crying. She was shocked and quickly took a step back.

"Woo woo …" The whimpering sound drifted over again.

"Who, who's crying?" She moved boldly to the door, but the crying stopped.
