Chapter 135

Bai Heran chose to hide the gifts to Madam Li. Moyu could understand this after thinking about it for a moment, but Yingchun never understood it.

But if she doesn't understand, she will not ask Bai Heran what it means. No matter who she was before, she has followed Miss II now, so there shouldn't be doubts, let alone betrayal. Even if Miss II kills and sets fire, she must be the one who keeps the wind.

Bai Heran did not explain much, but only ordered the two of them: "Inquiry about Mama Li's nephew, the more detailed the better, including the girl she once said she was close to, or which girl she had a fancy to, they all knew about it. The gifts could not be given for free, and they had to solve their lifelong affairs."

Bai Heran had to do it with the old lady behind her back. The old lady treated her well, and if it were not for her, she would not have made such a bad decision. But the old lady once said kept wandering in her mind, and how many children of the Bai family would have to kill. If this matter was not clear, her heart would never fall into the ground.

This is not the first time I have searched the original owner's memory. Unfortunately, my memory of these things is blank. Since the original owner's memory, the Bai family has almost the current situation. There are only a few concubines and babies who came to the mansion and gave birth to them. Except for the third lady Bai Yanyu, who had never met before, there should be nothing else.

But the old lady will not be aimless and will not speak vernacularly. Since she can say that, there must be a reason for her to say that. Since she cannot find out the truth from the old lady, she can only come up with this inferior strategy. Start from Mama Li. Perhaps with a small favor, Mama Li can give a few truths.

Madam Li's nephew also lives in Shangdu City, located northeastern and is relatively poor. Fortunately, Madam Li has monthly monthly support and bought a small yard with two rooms. Although she is poor, she will not be hungry.

Mo Yu went out to inquire about the matter outside, and brought back a day later: "The person is called Li Zhu. He is 39 years old this year. He has less left half of his left leg and has to walk by crutches. Li Zhu is very real and not lazy. Although the yard he lives in is very small and he is unable to move, he still planted a small garden at the door. The vegetables he produces are enough for him to eat and use, and other expenses are supported by Mama Li. However, Mama Li has limited ability and can only give one or two taels per month. He is reluctant to spend it, and most of it is stored, hoping to ask for a wife for the Li family. Unfortunately, his legs and feet are really not flexible, and his wish to ask for a wife has never been fulfilled."

Yingchun spoke quickly and interrupted and asked, "Where is the girl I said to kiss before? Do you still have any contacts now?"

Moyu shook his head, "The girl got married a few years ago, but there was a widow in her thirties living next door to Li Zhu. She had no children. The two of them had a lot of contact. The widow was also a real person. She often helped Li Zhu take care of the vegetable garden. Li Zhu would also give the vegetables she grew to the widow. After a day of observation, the widow looked good and had a affection for Li Zhu, but Li Zhu seemed to deliberately avoid it. There were rumors among neighbors that the widow killed her husband, which was unlucky. But I felt that Li Zhu was probably not avoiding her because of this. It was probably because of his inconvenience to his legs and feet, and he didn't have much savings, so he was afraid of dragging people down."

Bai Heran heard this and had a rough understanding of Li Zhu's situation. So he ordered Yingchun: "You can do the next thing, get Li Zhu 100 taels of silver, then take a gold hairpin and a pair of gold bracelets, and pick two more pieces of cloth suitable for the widow of the neighbor, then go to the cloth shop to buy some materials that Li Zhu can use, bring these things together, and send them to Li Zhu."

After saying this, thinking about it again, he added: "Maybe it's not enough. You can find a rice shop and leave some silver. Let the rice shop send Li Zhu enough food for two people on a monthly basis, and you must have rice and flour. In addition, contact a pig slaughtering and selling meat, and give Li Zhu meat, essence, fat, and bones every three days. Since you have taken care of this, you will take care of it to the end. In the future, these things will be given for a long time to ensure Li Zhu's life."

Finally, we highlighted the reminder: "We can reveal that it was given by us, but we must explain that this matter is kept confidential and tell Li Zhu that he cannot tell anyone."

Yingchun was puzzled, "If this is the case, wouldn't Madam Li know that we did it?"

She smiled and shook her head: "You can't tell anyone, but he will definitely tell her aunt. Wait, and Madam Li will come to her in a few days."

Yingchun went to do things according to her words. Bai Heran asked Moyu to close the door, and then asked her on his own initiative: "Do you think it's possible that the Bai family once had a child, but was secretly killed by Bai Xingyan?"

Moyu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "If the lady's guess is correct, then I think that the dead child is probably..."

She stopped talking here, but Bai Heran answered the words: "Eight out of ten were born by my mother Chunyu Lan."

Moyu nodded, "I mean the same thing. After all, if it were born by other concubines, there would be no rumors in the mansion for so many years, but the eldest lady... is not right." She immediately denied her thoughts, "If it were the eldest lady, it shouldn't be true. At least Aunt Hong came in early. If the eldest lady had also been pregnant with other children besides the young lady, Aunt Hong would not be unclear. Unless..." She remembered another possibility, "Unless the eldest lady had only been pregnant once, it was the time she gave birth to the young lady, but there were more than one child."

Bai Heran took a deep breath when he heard this, and a layer of haze covered his face.

Moyu is indeed a careful maid, and she thought of her. As Moyu said, if the old lady said something really was related to Chunyu Lan, then if Chunyu Lan has been pregnant twice, it should not only be the Hong family, but many people in the mansion will know that it is impossible to hide the truth for so many years.

Unless it is just like Mo Yu said, Chunyu Lan has only been pregnant once, but she has twins.

Unfortunately, she was the only one who survived the baby in the end. It was inevitable that all the people involved in this matter, including the midwife and the maid, had been executed and it was impossible for the secret to be leaked again.

She felt irritated. If it were twins, would the one who was killed be a sister or a brother?

"Moyu." She said softly, "The reason why I hide it from my grandmother is to find out this matter. My grandmother must know it, but I can understand it if she doesn't say it. Bai Xingyan is still her son, and she always has to protect her. But I feel very sad. A woman's child is equivalent to walking back to the gate of hell, not to mention the hard work of ten months of pregnancy. Every child is the mother's heart, and the pain that cuts off her heart. How can I let my mother suffer for nothing?"

One morning two days later, Madam Li came to Yinxiayuan. It was raining outside when she came. She was carrying a food box in her hand and covered it with her shirt, for fear of getting wet.

Yingchun and Moyu welcomed people in, and then retreated tacitly.

Madam Li put the food box on the table and told Bai Heran: "The old lady said that it will rain today, so Miss Second, please don't go over to pay your respects. This is a freshly baked meat pie that I got up early, so I asked the old slave to bring it over to Miss Second, as breakfast."

Speaking of this, she took a step back and knelt down at Bai Heran.

"I thank the second lady for her great kindness. I will repay the second lady for her great kindness in the next life." Madam Li burst into tears. Her nephew's affairs had troubled her for nearly ten years. She thought that even the old lady could do nothing but that, but she didn't expect that the second lady not only did it secretly, but also did it so beautifully.

Bai Heran smiled and helped Mama Li up, "Mama is so disgusting. I am just doing something within my ability. I believe that if my grandmother is capable of doing this, she will definitely help Mama. It's just helpless, and she herself suffers."

Madam Li sighed, "I'm going to hide it from the second lady. I'd say that the old lady's life was very good at that time. But at that time, the old lady's nephew's legs were not broken, and life was not acceptable, so I couldn't talk about it. Later, the second lady entered the door and everything changed. The old lady didn't have much money to use in her hands, so how could the old lady take it?"

She said while wiping her tears, "I never dreamed that the second lady would save Li Zhu's child without a sound. I felt grateful and uncomfortable in my heart. I didn't receive any rewards without any merit. How can I repay the second lady for giving such great favors to the second lady?"

Bai Heran shook his head, "I'm not trying to repay you, so the nanny doesn't have to take it seriously. This was originally mentioned by Yingchun and the others, because the emperor gave them a lot of good things a few days ago. I gave them some gadgets from girls and grandmothers. Yingchun mentioned that I also wanted to give it to the nanny. I thought that the jewelry and fabrics on my side were all used by young girls, and it was really not suitable to give it to the nanny. It would be better to help Li Zhu and reduce the burden on the nanny in the future."

Madam Li quickly said, "This is not a relief, there is no burden at all. Zhuzi has already proposed marriage to the little widow, and we don't mind that she has died of a man. As long as she can live a good life with Zhuzi in the future and have a child, it will be better than anything else. Zhuzi said that before he gets married, he must come over to kowtow to the second lady, thank him for his great benefactor."

Bai Heran did not refuse, "Okay, he doesn't need to go there. On the day of his wedding, I'll be the mastermind for him!"

"This... is this true?" Madam Li was overjoyed, "Miss Second Miss is going to be the mastermind for Zhuzi?"

She nodded, "Does Mama think it's appropriate?"

"It's suitable, it's very suitable. This is the big face of our Li family. If the second lady can be present, no one will dare to bully Zhuzi and his wife in the future. Their life will definitely become more and more prosperous." Madam Li struggled to kneel down and kowtowed while saying: "The second lady is very kind, I have no way to repay it. No matter what happens in the future, as long as the second lady says, I will do whatever I want to go through fire and water!"

Bai Heran did not mention the child, and the two of them said a few more words. She personally sent Mama Li out of the room, and then ordered Yingchun: "Get an umbrella to send Mama Li." At the same time, she quietly turned her eyes, and Yingchun immediately understood...
