Chapter 628 The real eldest young master of the Bai family
The servants of the Bai family did not dare to ask Bai Xingyan for the matter of Xiao Ye, because Bai Xingyan would get angry when he heard about this matter.
After all, if one corpse and two lives are alive, anyone will get angry.
In the end, the Hong family sent someone to take Xiao Ye's body to the Ye family's ancestral tomb, hoping that the Ye family could accept it. Unfortunately, I told the Ye family that the Ye family was guarding the tomb that the daughter who married outside could not be buried back to the ancestral tomb, and would not be accepted. There was no way, so in the end, I could only find a place next to the Ye family's ancestral tomb and dug a hole to bury it.
Because Xiao Ye had an unborn fetus in his belly, Hong felt that it was unlucky, so he invited a monk to pass away after being buried. It was only after three days and three nights that the resentment of the infant spirit was dissipated and sent away.
This matter was handled by Hongshi and did not bother Bai Heran because she knew why Bai Heran suddenly became so angry that day. Fortunately, she was not present that day. If she were also present, Hongshi thought that her anger would definitely not be less than Bai Heran.
In a small village outside Shangdu City, Hong's carriage stopped far away, then got off the carriage alone and quietly entered the village. Following the dirt road in the village, he walked into a remote small courtyard.
It was early morning. Hong's family had been staying outside for several days because of dealing with Xiao Ye's affairs. Bai Xingyan knew that she was running around for Xiao Ye's affairs, so he had no mind that she would not return to the Duke's Mansion for several days.
There was an old woman in the courtyard who had just gotten up and was picking up water from the well. Although the courtyard was inconspicuous, there was an independent well in the courtyard. However, the woman was old and could not lift the whole bucket of water, and she could not even lift half a bucket. She could only lift one-third of the water in the bucket, which made her so tired that she was breathing heavily.
Hong quickly went up to help, but the woman was stunned. Seeing that Hong was coming, she hurriedly wanted to salute, but was stopped by Hong.
Yuan Po, after so many years, why are you still so polite to me?
When Yuan Po looked at Hongshi, his eyes were always full of gratitude, but he had been saying gratefully for more than ten years, and even more words would be fondness. So she just smiled and did not insist on saluting. She only took the bucket of water from Hongshi's hand, and then said: The eldest young master had not yet gotten up, and the old slave took the water to wash rice and cooked porridge. The lady came here so early and must have not used breakfast. Let's use some together!
Hong nodded and handed over the two oil paper bags in her hand. She bought two smoked chickens on the way, tear some shredded chickens down and put them in the porridge to cook them together, and keep the rest for lunch and you and the eldest master to eat together.
Yuan Po smiled and said: It’s better to keep it for the eldest young master. I, an old woman, can’t eat so much meat. The lady went to the house to sit for a while, and the old slave went to make porridge.
Hong nodded, looked at the background where Yuan Po left, and sighed in her heart.
Yuan Po is getting older and older. I wonder how many years he can serve the eldest young master. It is the third year this year. Should I move again? If I move, where will I move? A further place? If I don’t move, will people discover it?
When she walked into the house, the village house could not compare with the mansion in the capital. It was very simple and small. As soon as she entered the house, she could see the kang. A table was placed under the kang, which was where Yuan Po and the eldest young master were usually having dinner.
Hong sat on the edge of the kang and looked at a handsome young man on the kang. The young man looked like a 14 or 15 years old, with clear facial features, thick eyebrows, red lips, and a knife-cut cheek. Even if he closed his eyes, he could see that his appearance was handsome, which was enough to make people unable to move their eyes.
At this time, he was wearing a white underwear and covered with a clean thin quilt. His black hair was casually scattered behind his head, and he did not feel distracted by sleeping all night.
Hong thought, just like this, when a woman in the boudoir of any family had to be amazed, would she say that she would secretly agree to her heart from now on?
She secretly raised him for more than ten years, and even she was proud of the child's appearance. She was afraid that if she was put among the princes of the Jun family, her appearance would be at the forefront.
Unfortunately, for fourteen years, she didn't dare to let the child walk out of the small courtyard where she lived. Even whenever she moved for safety, she had to try every means to paint the child's face black and then send it to the carriage without moving.
Looking at the sleeping young master, Hong's thoughts couldn't help but return to fourteen years ago, remembering that terrifying night.
That year, she was in the best years of a woman, as beautiful as a flower, making her men linger day and night.
She had been proud, inflated, and had also thought of making herself the number one person in the Duke's Mansion. She even ran the eldest wife Chunyu and tried to take the position of the mistress herself.
But later, she annoyed the old lady and wanted to execute her. At the critical moment of life and death, the eldest lady knelt down and pleaded for her to save her life.
Hong Piaopiao is the most loyal person and the most grateful person. From that moment on, she has decided to follow Chunyu Lan for life, never compete for favor, never fight for anger, just be a concubine obediently and listen to the wife of the main wife.
But Chunyu Lan didn't say anything. The beauty from the foreign land had a gentle nature, a good temper and a general sense of nature. The two got along like sisters, and they were even more sisterly, which was very happy.
Later, her sister Chunyu was pregnant, and she was even happier than having a baby. She made more than a dozen sets of small clothes for the child. Not to mention small shoes, socks and small vests, she even prepared diapers.
The doctor told her quietly that the eldest lady was likely to be pregnant with twins. She was happier and she was more happy. She was just waiting for her little daughter and son to be born and could wear the beautiful little red coat she made by Hongpiaopiao. During those days, she was happy every day whenever she thought of these. She spent all her time except serving Bai Xingyan with Chunyu Lan'an's womb and making clothes for the young master and the young lady who was about to be born.
But I never expected that the birth of these two children would be such a tragedy.
That night, she quietly followed the servants who were dealing with the body, watching the servants throw the little baby into the woods at will, and watching the two evil dogs have begun to approach the baby, wanting to share the baby as food.
She was crazy at that time, holding a thick wooden stick and beating the dog desperately, but with a ruthless force, she repelled the evil dog and rescued the little baby from the evil dog's mouth.
In fact, she just wanted to bury the child well, because she saw Bai Xingfang drowned the child, and only knew that the child had already lost his breath. However, she never expected that the child would be blessed and still be alive.
When she found that the child was still breathing a little, she was ecstatic. But she also knew that she could not take the child back, because it would be a death if she went back. Once Bai Xingyan knew that the child was not dead, she might have to use some cruel means.
She could only run with her child in her arms and run to the opposite direction of the capital. At that time, she had a thought in her mind that the farther she ran, the better, and the Bai family would never know that there was this child. She even made plans to leave the Bai family, and found a place to raise the child from afar, and then looked for an opportunity to meet Chunyu Lan in a few years and told Chunyu Lan about the existence of this child.
But how far can she run as a woman? She used up all her strength when she beat a vicious dog before, and even if she ran for life, she ran for more than ten miles. When she reached the entrance of a small village, she could no longer run and sat on the ground.
The baby in her arms had weak qi and would not live long if she didn't hire a doctor immediately. After thinking about it, she decided to go to a inn in Qianfang Town of Hongjia.
At that time, the Hong family had already started doing business. The business was not as big as it is now and had just started. Fortunately, the Hong family was born with a business mindset, and several batches of goods were found to have some foundation.
So inns were built in various places to facilitate delivery and rest for family servants who traveled between the north and the south.
When Hong's arrival, Hong Zhenhai, the eldest master of the Hong family, had just unloaded a batch of goods at the inn. When he saw the girl who married into the Duke's mansion carrying a baby and running here like a madman, he knew something must have happened. So he took Hong Piaopiao through the back door of the inn, and then he knew what happened in Hong Piaopiao's crying narrative.
Hong Zhenhai was shocked at that time. He never expected that a generation of Duke Wen would do such a thing. At the same time, he couldn't understand why Bai Xingyan wanted to do this. This was his legitimate son!
But I didn't have time to think about it anymore. The child needed treatment immediately, so he asked for a doctor, but he couldn't tell the truth. So he only said that he had a cold and wanted to hire the best doctor.
Later, the doctor cured the baby and was left by Hong Zhenhai. He became his accompanying doctor and never let him leave him a step away. Even now, the doctor still followed Hong Zhenhai all day long and never left the Hong family.
Since then, Hong family has begun to secretly raise the child, living in small villages one by one, some are closer to Shangdu City, and some are farther away from Shangdu City. In short, for safety, they changed places every two years and finally raised the child until they were fourteen years old.
Hong thought about these things and looked at the handsome boy in front of her and her nose felt sore.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful child and such a handsome young man would be a fool.
The doctor said that it was a miracle to be able to save his life, and he really couldn't cure his dementia. Hong Zhenhai said that this was because he encountered violence at birth and hurt his brain, so there was basically no hope when he remembered it in this life.
But the Hong family is all kind-hearted, and Hong Zhenhai even told him that even a fool must raise him well. After all, it is a life. We can't be like Bai Xingyan, so we still call him a human being?
But Hong did not dare to tell Chunyu Lan about this. She was afraid that Chunyu Lan would ask Bai Xingyan for someone when she was impulsive, and she was even more afraid that Bai Xingyan would find out the whereabouts of the child when she knew it, and even wiped out Hong Piaopiao.
She lived in fear for many years. Later, when Gebu had an accident, Chunyu Lan died, and even Bai Heran encountered such a dilemma in the mansion, she dared not say anything.
At first, she thought that this might be the case in her life. To protect this child in her lifetime is worthy of a sisterly relationship with Chunyu Lan, and to repay Chunyu Lan's kindness for protecting her.
