Huahai frowned, remained silent for a while, then stood up suddenly and walked to the backyard.
In the woodshed in the backyard, Lady Bell was holding her bell, her face full of sorrow.
"Mom..." Lingdang stretched out his curled-up and somewhat numb calves, looked around at the damp and cold surroundings, and whispered, "Mom, I'm hungry!"
Lady Lingdang seemed to have just come back to her senses, and touched a white porcelain bowl beside her. It was already empty. She dragged her injured leg and climbed to the wooden door, and slapped the wooden door of the woodshed hard, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?
? Give us something to eat, Ling Ding is hungry!"
Lingdang suddenly hugged Lingdang's mother's calf from behind and said, "Mom, stop shouting, they won't come. Lingdang isn't hungry anymore. If you tell Lingdang a story, Lingdang won't be hungry anymore!"
Lady Lingdang turned around, hugged Lingdang, and suddenly she was like crazy. She kicked the wooden door of the woodshed fiercely and shouted: "Come here, come quickly. I, Hua Lei, have not done anything wrong to the Hua family. It is your Hua family."
I'm sorry, let us out, let us out! Huahai, your son did such a thing that is worse than a beast, and you still defend him, why do you control me? Why? "
Ling Dang was held by Ling Dang's mother. Listening to Ling Dang's vent, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she didn't dare to say a word.
"Hua Hai, please let me out. I really don't know where Hua Xiaotang is. I have nothing to do with him anymore. Hua Hai, please let us out!" After venting for a while, Ling Dang Niang finally said
I was tired, but I still knelt at the door and patted the wooden door again and again.
Huahai stood outside the woodshed, her face cold and dark.
"Master..." Perhaps feeling Hua Hai's anger, Hua Gen stepped forward nervously and whispered, "Master, this servant has been asking for more than ten days, and she has always said that she has never seen the young master, the master, and the bell.
, after all, they are the young master’s flesh and blood..."
"Shut up!" Hua Hai's eyes darkened, "How can such a woman accompany Xiaotang's child? There is only one young lady in the Hua family, and that is Hua Lin!"
Hua Gen quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say anything more.
"Hua Gen, follow me to the Chu Mansion!" Hua Hai suddenly whispered, "If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, I must at least give Miss Chu some face!"
Before Huahai's voice could finish, he saw a servant coming to report: "Master, Miss Chu is here!"
Huahai was startled: "I didn't expect it to come so quickly! In that case, there's no need for me to go forward!"
After Huahai finished speaking, she immediately went to the hall.
In the hall, Chu Yiqing and Ying Qian were sitting aside. There were some gifts on the table, which were silk and satin she brought back from the capital.
As soon as Huahai entered the door, she saw the things on the table and couldn't help but laugh: "Why is Miss Chu so polite? I am happy that Miss Chu can come to see me, and I don't need to bring anything!"
Chu Yiqing stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Hua, I encountered something some time ago and went to the capital. It was really nice to bring back some specialties of the capital. I think that Mr. Hua was an official in the capital before. Although he doesn't care about these things, he
It can be considered a little bit of my care!”
Huahai waved her hand: "Miss Chu, you're welcome! Miss Chu came just in time, and I also happen to have something I want to talk to Miss Chu!"
Chu Yiqing smiled slowly: "Then please let Mr. Hua speak first!"
Hua Hai hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, I used to be the Protector of the Country, and my original name was Hua Hanxuan. Does Miss Chu know?"
Chu Yiqing saw that he seemed to be honest with each other today, so he nodded and said: "I have heard about Mr. Hua's previous identity, but I don't know the details!"
Huahai sighed, "When I was an official in the court, I was forced to do a lot of things that went against my conscience due to the situation. The case of the imperial family at that time was also involved in me!"
Chu Yiqing was startled. She came here today just for the matter of Ling Dang and her daughter, but she didn't expect that Hua Hai would talk about the affairs of Huangfu's family back then.
"A few days ago, Pan Yulang found me. Only then did I know that your godmother Huangfu Pan was a member of the Huangfu family and the Pan family. I feel very ashamed to talk about it. What happened between the Huangfu family and the Pan family back then, I
He is deliberately framed, but I can't help it. As an official in the court, I can't help myself. Today, I will make it clear to Miss Chu. If Miss Chu insists on seeking justice for the Huangfu family and the Pan family, then I have nothing to say.
I will do my best to compensate them!"
Chu Yiqing frowned. In fact, she had suspected this matter, but she had not confirmed it. Now hearing what Hua Hai said, she lowered her head and said: "Mr. Hua, after all, that was an old thing thirty years ago, and with the
Mr. Hua’s current status makes him able to say these sincere words, and I am grateful in my heart! My godmother always avoided Mr. Hua before, and I was also suspicious in my heart, but my mother never told me, and now it seems that I
Mom also deliberately doesn’t want me to know. Now that Mr. Hua and my godmother are already in their sixties, what else is there to fight about? But here, I have a merciless request, and I hope Mr. Hua will grant it!"
When Hua Hai heard that Chu Yiqing no longer pursued the past thirty years ago, a big stone in his heart suddenly dropped. To be honest, he was used to this kind of peaceful life, and he really didn't want to get involved in a fight. If
It's a good result to really turn a conflict into friendship. But he guessed Chu Yiqing's request, he still frowned and said: "Miss Chu, is it about Ling Dang and her daughter?"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "I took them mother and daughter from Zhujiacun back then, and promised them that I would take good care of them. Mr. Hua, I heard Shan Er said that Ling Dang Niang was the maid who escaped from your house. In fact, things have passed.
After so many years, how about Mr. Hua not worrying about this matter?"
Hua Hai frowned and whispered: "Miss Chu, it stands to reason that since you brought it up, I should sell it to you to save face, but this slave is related to the disappearance of my son Hua Xiaotang, and I want to find Xiaotang back.
Tang, so this person can’t be taken away by Miss Chu for the time being!”
Chu Yiqing was startled, "Mr. Hua, if you don't mind, could you explain the origin of the matter in detail? Maybe I can help!"
Hua Hai was in trouble, so naturally he couldn't talk about the threats he received, otherwise Chu Yiqing would definitely know that what happened to Huiming was something he did deliberately, and his relationship with that person...
"Miss Chu, it's actually nothing. Back then, Xiaotang was willful and said she wanted to elope with this slave named Hualei. Since then, there has been no news. As a result, she happened to see Hualei in the Chu Mansion that day, so I caught her back.
I wanted to interrogate her carefully, but Hua Lei actually denied leaving with Xiaotang. I can't help but see that she didn't shed tears until she saw the coffin!" When Hua Hai said these words, there was a hint of sinisterness in Hua Hai's eyes.
Chu Yiqing's heart tightened. The Huahai she usually saw was a kind and simple old man. Maybe the Huahai with this expression now is the real Huahai! If Huahai hates Ling Dang Niang so much, then Ling Dang Niang will follow her.
With the bell in his hand, he must have suffered a lot!
"Mr. Hua, what do you think of this? Lady Lingdang and I are considered masters and servants. Why don't I ask her for you? Maybe she will tell the truth!" Chu Yiqing said quickly.
Hua Hai narrowed his eyes slightly. Now he is eager to know the whereabouts of Hua Xiaotang, and he will try any method!
"Then I'll bother you, Miss Chu!" Hua Hai said in a low voice.
"You're welcome!" Chu Yiqing felt relieved when she saw that he was willing to let her see Ling Dang.
The chain on the door of the woodshed was opened. Lady Lingdang quickly raised her head, and a ray of sunlight came in, which only illuminated their eyes. Lady Lingdang quickly covered Lingdang's eyes to prevent her from looking, until the door of the woodshed was closed.
.
"Miss?" Lady Lingdang quickly dragged her legs forward as soon as she saw clearly that it was Chu Yiqing.
"Prince Zhu, your legs..." Chu Yiqing looked at Ling Dang's mother's bloody legs, his eyes darkening.
Lady Lingdang shook her head: "It's no big deal, miss, you have to save Lingdang, Lingdang is just a child, she doesn't know anything!"
Chu Yiqing hurriedly said: "Don't get excited. Come on, I'll bring you some food and water. Eat slowly and drink slowly!"
When Ling Dang saw the meat burning, he swallowed hard.
Chu Yiqing stepped forward and handed the fire to Lingdang first. Lingdang quickly took it and whispered: "Thank you, Miss!" Then he took a big bite, but because he ate too quickly, he choked and rolled his eyes, and his little hands couldn't hold it.
He kept beating his chest, but his other hand still held the fire.
"Ling Ding, eat slowly, there are still a lot of them!" Chu Yiqing hurriedly handed the water bag to her, let her take a sip of water, and gently wiped the corners of her oily mouth.
"Young lady of the Zhu family, you should also eat some. Only when you are full can this wound heal quickly!" Chu Yiqing turned around and urged Lady Lingdang.
Lady Bell nodded, with tears in her eyes, while looking at Chu Yiqing, she bit down.
Chu Yiqing looked around the woodshed and couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Huahai really hated Lingdang Lady and treated them so harshly!
After eating a fire and drinking some water, Lady Ling Dang finally calmed down, wiped her hands on her tattered clothes, knelt on the ground quickly and said: "Miss, my life is not worth anything, but please do it."
Save the bell, it’s still small!”
Chu Yiqing nodded, not feeling dirty, and sat down on the spot and asked: "Tell me honestly, what is going on?"
Lady Lingdang didn't want to hide it anymore, so she said: "My birth name is Hualei, and I am the son of a family in Huafu. I grew up in Huafu. Six years ago, the young mistress of Huafu got pregnant.
The young master moved out to sleep alone in the study. That day he drank too much, so..." Hua Lei lowered her head and choked, "Later, the young master promised to marry me, so I didn't tell him, but who knew that I
I was actually pregnant with Lingdang. When the young master found out, he gave me a sum of money and told me to leave, because the young mistress was jealous and she was still in confinement. If she knew about this... then I would
Knowing that the young master just wanted to have fun and was not sincere, I was disheartened, but I had to accept it, so I took the money and left. Later, when I went to the countryside and met Shitou, I lied and said that I was married.
But Shitou didn't dislike me, so we lived in Zhujiacun until Shitou..."
The more Ling Dang mother talked, the sadder she became, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. Beside her, Ling Dang didn't eat either, but just looked at her mother blankly, her little mouth pursed tightly.
"But Mr. Hua said that the young master of the Hua family ran away with you and never met anyone else!" Chu Yiqing whispered,
"Miss, believe me, I really don't know where the young master went. I really walked alone at that time! I..." Ling Dang looked around and suddenly picked up a sharp piece of wood.
, aiming at the heart of his heart, "Miss, I am willing to die to prove my purpose. What I said is really the truth. I just ask the lady to treat my Lingdang well. The lady promised that she will teach Lingdang to read and find a good girl for Lingdang."
As long as the bell is good, I will be willing to die here!"
"Mother!" Lingdang was so frightened that she cried loudly.
Chu Yiqing hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the wood from her hand, "What are you doing? No matter how good I take care of Lingdang, I can't compare to you, my own mother. Are you willing to die before you see Lingdang get married?"
Lady Lingdang was startled, turned around and hugged Lingdang and cried, "Miss, I don't want to die, and I'm not willing to die, but the master will not let us go, we..."
"Okay, as long as you really don't know where Hua Xiaotang is, I believe Mr. Hua will not embarrass you again!" Chu Yiqing whispered, and could only comfort Ling Dang** first, "You guys can be more patient.
In time, I will persuade Mr. Hua to let you out as soon as possible!"
Ling Dang's lips trembled and she asked in disbelief: "Miss, is what you said true? Is the master really willing to let us go?"
"As long as we can find Hua Xiaotang!" Chu Yiqing frowned, this matter is really difficult.
In the hall, Huahai slowly sipped tea. When she saw Chu Yiqing coming, she quickly stood up and asked, "How is it? Did she say it?"
Chu Yiqing shook his head: "She doesn't know the whereabouts of Mr. Ling at all. Mr. Hua, you have wronged her!"
