12 Truth

At night, my father sent me some snacks and bought some new furniture, which was estimated to be a compensation for me. After ignoring me for so long, he couldn't find a way, so he satisfied me with materials.

For the first time, my third aunt also came to see me at night. Although he didn't show any deep affection between mother and son to me, at least it came. I sat back and left, telling me to take care of myself.

For a while, the third lady, who had been forgotten and despised, suddenly received this kind of courtesy. It can be imagined how much Chu Tianshuang's matter was.

"Miss San, congratulations. From now on, you will be the heart of the master. The master will definitely pay attention to you. You are blessed by misfortune this time. No, it should be said that you can keep the moon and see the moon. Yun'er talked to me with laughter while packing up the additional items.

It's rare to have a rich dinner. I don't have the strength to talk to her now, but I just replied faintly: "This is the tranquility before the storm. Although my father has punished my second sister now, he won't be good to me."

"Miss San, why are you so pessimistic? The master will treat you well, and Yun'er won't be wrong.

"Real?"

"Of course, the young lady is nice, and of course the prime minister will love you."

"How am I? What do you think of following me?"

"Of course, following the young lady is my wisest choice."

"Then will you be loyal to me?"

"That's for sure."

"But today when I was whipped by Chu Tianshuang, how can I see that you run faster than a rabbit?" Although there is a disaster, running away is everyone's instinctive reaction. But her act of not being saved is chilling, and besides, I am also her master anyway.

Yun'er blushed when I said and smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss, you misunderstood. Think about it. If I stayed on the spot at that time and not only couldn't save you, but would have angered the second lady even more. The second lady's temper is like this. She hates you even more when she sees someone helping you. Therefore, of course, I chose to move the rescuers and find the master.

I also think it makes sense to hear what she said. I don't plan to pester with her at present. I just find a comfortable place with my belly and lie down to rest.

"Miss, are you going to bed so soon?" Yun'er finished packing up and came to me to talk to me.

I opened my eyes and took a deep breath and said, "I can't sleep. I'm so full that I can't digest it.

"Well, so is Yuner. I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time. I heard from Aunt Zhang in the cook that it was the master who asked me to cook your favorite dish."

"Ha ha, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Yun'er, let me ask you, how long have you been in the house?"

Yun'er blinked, and although her little face looked thin, she was energetic.

"Yun'er entered the house at the age of ten, and now she is fourteen and four years old."

"Then let me ask you, my mother was pregnant with her son. When did she have a miscarry?" In order to understand my mother's strange personality, I had to find Yun'er. It's better to get some information from her mouth, or those hidden secrets.

"Miss, this happened three years ago, have you forgotten?"

"I lost my memory. It was the last time I was beaten by Chu Tianshuang." Anyway, everyone knows about my amnesia now, and I simply use this excuse to deceive everyone's trust. Together, it can't be said that I crossed the 21st century. At that time, it will not be Chu Tianshuang who will be unlucky, but me Chu Tianxiang.

Hearing this, Yun'er nodded as if she understood, "Yes, I almost forgot. In fact, miss, this was a long time ago. Why don't you..."

"Curious! Besides, you can't digest it after eating it. Tell me about it."

Yun'er was helpless by me and could only nod and promise, "Okay, let me tell you, in fact, Miss Third has a direct brother, but unfortunately she is a dead baby."

"Dead baby?" I exclaimed and suddenly felt cold around my body, and a small face full of wrinkles slowly appeared in my mind. Around my face, it was full of blood. With the sad shouts of women, the dark and vague picture is like the black-and-white ghost movie in the 1970s.

"Yes, at that time, the eldest lady called the midwife to give birth, but unfortunately she was born dead."

“......”

"Alas, since then, the character of the third aunt has changed. You don't care about the third lady and immerse yourself in the haze of the past all day long. I heard that Qingfang, the maid who took care of her, said that the third aunt almost often woke up in nightmares, and then shouted that it was the child.

Hearing this, I, who had some prejugatives about my third aunt, couldn't help but feel sorry for her. However, what I can't figure out is that they are also her own children. Why would she rather miss a dead baby than take good care of her living daughter?

Is this the sadness of son preference in the old society? Do you have to wait until one day and really lose it to know its value?

"Yun'er, do you think your son is that important?" I couldn't help but be angry and vented the sadness of this era on this unknowing maid.

Yun'er raised her head and nodded and said, "Of course, the prime minister asked the doctor to see a pulse at that time. After knowing that the third aunt was pregnant with a man, he didn't know how much he loved the third aunt, which simply made the whole woman in the prime minister's mansion jealous. After all, the prime minister is over 40 years old. He has always wanted that his aunts can give him a son and continue the incense. He has placed such high expectations on your mother, but it's a pity... Alas..."

"Can't other aunts have sons?" I don't believe that none of the six or seven wives can have a son. If so, it would be too illogical.

Yun'er tilted her head and said, "Actually, these evil doors are. When several aunts were too pregnant, after being diagnosed by the doctor as Gongzi's vein, they all miscarried due to various carelessness. Later, no one was pregnant again.

"Real?" The "bang--" jump in my heart is too strange, isn't it?

Yun'er's eyes widened and said in horror, "I also heard that the second lady died of dystocia. At that time, the first lady gave birth, and she was also a son, but unfortunately she died. Otherwise, Miss San, you still have a brother who loves you.

"Is this true?"

"Actually, I also heard about it, because I hadn't entered the house at that time."

"What about later?"

"Later, no one has been pregnant with a son. Anyway, there is nothing in the house. Over the years, only three of you have sisters, and the master will no longer take concubines.

"Well, I see."

"What does Miss San understand?"

"Well, it's getting late. Let's go to bed." How obvious this matter is. Those murders are related to the old lady, but no one dares to say it. It is easy to guess that the eldest lady can't give birth to a son by herself, and she is afraid that other wives and mothers will affect her status by virtue of their precious children, so every aunt who is pregnant with a man will be poisoned by her. In case of miscarriage, or death in severe case. And I can survive safely because I am a daughter and pose no threat to her.

At present, I finally know why the aunts in the house become strange when they see the eldest lady. It's just that I don't understand why my father still indulges her when she does so much evil? With my father's wisdom, it's impossible not to know. Is all this caused by the eldest lady? Is there anything else for the old lady to fear? So he has only turned a blind eye over the years?
