Chapter Fifteen: Brother and Sister (Part One)

  Seeking PK votes, pink tickets wuwu~~

  Madam Chen bowed and backed out, then hurriedly went to find Director Cui's residence.

  Cui's family was staring at the wooden fence, not causing any trouble, so she happily took two dishes from the kitchen to the house, warmed up a pot of wine, and was drinking when she saw Chen Mama entering the courtyard, and quickly invited Chen Mama to join her for a drink.

  Old Mrs. Chen came into the house and without even stirring the rice, she repeated everything that Big Sister had said today.

  Choi Jae's family heard what Chen Mama said and was suddenly shocked, breaking out in a cold sweat.

  She often makes some small moves under the guise of daily life, relying on the trust of the madam, but unexpectedly, the madam has long seen through her tricks.

  "Chui's urgent plea, 'Sister Chen, we've followed the madam all these years, and usually sisters are good to each other. At a critical moment like this, can you please help me? What is the madam planning to do with me? What should I do?"

  "Alas, you're an intelligent person, but it's a pity that you've been blinded by those material things," she said with a sigh. "How could you have done such foolish things back then? Now that you've done them, you shouldn't be afraid." With that, she turned to leave.

  Choi Jae's family hastily stopped Chen Mama and begged bitterly, "What can be done? Isn't this going to take my life?"

  Madam Chen was worn out by her, and could only say: "If the mistress wants to deal with you, does she still need me to come and talk about these things? It's all because of our past relationship... now your family is not like it used to be..."

  "Sister, please tell the madam that I have no other intentions. My brother's family has been under the protection of the Tao family all these years and hasn't starved to death. I was thinking of talking to the madam about bringing my brother's daughter into the mansion after a while, but who knew my heartless brother would sell her to the Wu Mu Hou Mansion for some money? By rights, we household slaves shouldn't be making decisions on our own like this. Even if it were an arranged marriage, it should be up to the madam to decide. But my brother was expelled from the mansion early on and neglected these rules, and I didn't instruct him in time, which is why he did such a thing."

  Madam Chen listened carefully, and Cui's family urged her to make a decision. Madam Chen thought for a moment and said: "I can't make decisions on such matters, besides, the mistress hasn't mentioned it to me either."

  Choi Jae's family saw Chen Mama with this expression, knowing that there was no falsehood inside, and suddenly regretted it. He had actually revealed the matter, and now he wanted to cover it up, but it was too late.

  "I advise you, take advantage of your wife not asking about it, and make arrangements early."

  Madam Chen came out from Director Cui's place and carefully thought over what Director Cui had just said.

  These years, although the madam considered her a confidante, there were some things that she wouldn't discuss with her, and even less so about Director Cui's family matters. Could it be that Madam had sent her this time for the true purpose of dealing with this matter? As for the young maid from Director Cui's household, she had seen her before - born with a good appearance, but just a naive little girl, what could be the big deal about her?

  Madam Chen couldn't help but sigh, and the mistress thought to herself, who could have guessed it clearly.

  Mugunghwa stood by and waited on her, while Yonghwa carefully drew the patterns of flowers.

  Ronghua told Chunyao to go and visit Jinxia, to show her good intentions. Jinxia had gained favor with the first wife due to her illness, so many of the maids in the garden went to visit her. Muxin was indignant on the sidelines, "Miss, you risked your life to save someone, but they don't appreciate it at all, and instead credit it to the first wife."

  Ronghua smiled slightly and didn't speak. Mugou was about to continue complaining when a maid outside said, "The second master has arrived."

  Hong Ge entered the house, and Rong Hua hurried out, instructing Mu Jin, "Quickly go get a cup of tea for Second Master."

  Mugwort took orders and went out.

  Hong Ge entered the house and sat down in a chair, gazing at Rong Hua.

  Don't look at Hong's young age, his eyes are very meticulous and profound, but he lacks a few points of patience.

  Hong Ge waited for Rong Hua to speak up, but Rong Hua refused to say a word. After a while, Hong Ge finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly... do you want to play?" The childish voice was tinged with a hint of annoyance.

  Rong Hua raised an eyebrow, "This question should be asked by me instead, why did you let the maid follow me?"

  "Because." Hong Ge opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He felt that this Eighth Sister was looking at him with a suspicious gaze. The people in the mansion mostly looked at him with respect and admiration, no one had ever shown him a pitiful look, which made him doubt, so he instructed the maid by his side to pay more attention to her, but unexpectedly she discovered it.

  She found nothing, what could she do to him? Who knew that she would turn the tables on him and send a maid named Mugen to tell him to find an excuse to go to the main wife's room.

  Why should he do what she says just because she says a word? Yet, she seemed to know him well, and let Mugen tell him: "Miss said that if the second master wants to know something, go take a look and you'll understand."

  Although he knew it was her trick, he still fell for it.

  Big Brother Hong regretted it, he shouldn't have gone in the first place. Why did he listen to her and go? Not only that, but he even ended up delivering himself to their doorstep. Thinking about this, he let out a humph and stood up to leave, still muttering under his breath: "Don't think I'm afraid to tell mom..."

  "What did you say?"

  "Say you..." Hong Ge couldn't argue with Rong Hua, so he turned his head around to glare at him, but didn't expect to see Rong Hua's smiling eyes.

  Hong Ge was taken aback, and Yon Hua's serene smile gave him a sudden sense of familiarity.

  Hong Ge was so absorbed in watching that he suddenly saw Rong Hua's lips opening and closing, his ears seemed to have the sound of golden instruments ringing, rumbling endlessly, it took him half a day to vaguely understand what those words meant.

  She said: "Is your fox fur hat and sable coat still there?"

  Hong Ge was stunned, as if he had returned to his childhood. Because of poor grades, he was scolded by his father and punished to quietly read books in the house. Coincidentally, firecrackers were going off outside, but he sat dryly inside, unable to focus on the words in his book. He could only rest his cheek on his hand and imagine what kind of fun scene was happening outside. Just as he felt sad, he heard someone shouting, "The fifth young lady has arrived."

  Upon hearing this sentence, he suddenly came back to life and hastily ran out of the house to take a look.

  He pushed open the curtain and saw his fifth sister at a glance. It was snowing that day, she trampled on the snowflakes, her red Luo skirt swept across the ground, dragging a few white grains, falling into the folds, looking from afar like dew in the petals of flowers. She walked to his front and smiled at him, before speaking, she took off the red cloak on her body and put it on him, pulled up his hand and wanted to leave.

  The maids were afraid of making a mistake and hastily intercepted him in front, saying, "Master ordered the second master to study in his room."

  She smiled and said: "I'm here to teach him his lessons."

  He was still short at that time and could only look up at her with his head raised. Her eyes shone brightly, exceptionally bright.

  The snow underfoot kept making a "crunching" sound, and it was then that she told him the poem, which said: "Brocade hat and sable cloak, a thousand horsemen rolling up the flat ridge."

  Later on, he hid her brocade quilt and refused to give it back to her.

  Every time she thought of this matter, she would smile and ask him: "Is your brocade hat and sable coat still there?"

  Hong Ge stared at Rong Hua in a daze, and saw her stretch out her hand, gently drawing on his forehead, "It's been a while since I've seen you, and you've already grown so tall."

  Hong Ge wanted to speak, but his lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word.

  Rong Hua smiled slightly and said very clearly in his ear, "It's me, I'm back."

  His tears fell instantly, rolling over the golden embroidered hem and falling to the ground.

  Hong Ge sat down again, not knowing what to say, and only looked at Rong Hua as she personally handed him a cup of tea. The clear and fragrant tea entered his mouth, and he hastily put down the teacup, stood up, pulled Rong Hua's hand over, and sincerely shouted, "Sister... sister... how did you..."

  Brother Hong's age is still young, and in his heart, there is only one relative, Rong Hua. When the news of Rong Hua's death came, he just sat there disbelieving for a day, then silently cried in front of Rong Hua's spirit, after that, he didn't show excessive sadness again. Now that Rong Hua has returned to his side, the emotions he had lost have come back. Meeting Rong Hua is certainly joyful, but the pain of losing him before also came back to his heart, and he couldn't bear it anymore, bursting into tears, as if wanting to release all the pain of these years at once.

  He cried enough. Hong Ge still couldn't understand how Rong Hua had such an experience, and Rong Hua could only persuade him on the side, unable to explain the details, "Probably I was not destined to die, people say that doing relatives have no this life or next life, but God gave us a second chance."

  Hong Ge just nodded beside him, his eyes fixed on Rong Hua without blinking, as if he was afraid that if he blinked, Rong Hua would disappear. When the knot in his heart finally opened up, a series of questions followed one after another. "Sister, tell me what really happened back then? They said you had a sudden illness, but I didn't believe it. And how did Zhao Xuanhuan end up marrying Eldest Sister?"

  They had always been close as siblings, and Zhaohua didn't deliberately hide Zhao Xuan's affair from Hongge, thinking that he was still young and wouldn't pay attention, but unexpectedly, he had already seen it.

  Later, the madam deliberately tried to probe me about Zhao Xuanhuan's affairs. I pretended not to know him, and Zhao Xuanhuan also seemed to be pretending not to recognize me. At this point, Brother Hong snorted, "I never believed that sister had contracted some kind of illness. In my heart, I had already made up my mind that when I grew up, I would definitely investigate this matter clearly, find out who harmed you, and kill them one by one to avenge you."

  At this point, Hong Ge's face suddenly showed a tough expression.

  Ronghua couldn't help but sigh, thinking about how much Hongge had changed over the years, with a large part of it being due to her influence.

  "Sister, quickly tell me, who was it that wronged you back then?"

  "It's not time yet." Rong Hua grasped Hong Ge's hand, "Listen to your sister's words, don't think wildly now, wait until I've figured everything out, I will definitely tell you."

  Huge brother insisted for half a day before finally nodding obediently.

  There is such a younger brother, and in Rong Hua's heart, it's like a warm current flowing in.

  "It doesn't have to be Zhao Xuan Huan, in the future when I grow up, I will definitely find a good brother-in-law for my sister."

  Ronghua couldn't help but laugh, "I'm afraid by that time, I'll already be married."

  Hong's face suddenly fell, "Sister, did someone say something to you?"

  Does this still need to be said? The lady has already made it so obvious.

  "Is Ronghua in Mrs. Dai's house?"

  "Hong nodded, 'Yes. When I went in, Liu Jie's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. The mistress seemed unwilling to let me see something, and made Liu Jie hide inside without coming out.'"

  That's it.

  Madam Hou has clearly set her sights on Yanhua. If Madam Hou had proposed a good marriage, Yanhua would have been grateful and wouldn't have had time to cry like that. It seems there must be some big shot's daughter who neither the madam nor Yanhua is willing to accept as a marriage partner.

  In this compound, those who have reached marriageable age are none other than Rong Hua and her.

  "Sister, what's going on? Do you know what the mistress is planning?"

  Ronghua reached out and helped Hongge adjust the embroidered pouch at his waist, which had a pattern of green bamboo.

  What is Mrs. Dai thinking? Hong Ge is already ten years old this year, and in ordinary families, boys around the age of twelve have already been engaged. The Tao family's current situation is quite favorable... There are not a few aristocratic families that want to form an alliance through marriage, and many times, as long as the marriage is settled first, some things will be easier to handle.

  Mrs. Tai-tai and Mrs. I-ch'ien-hou were at odds with each other, and now they would have to work together again for Old Lady's birthday...

  All these things are connected.

  The madam or perhaps looking for a bigger backer, just wanting to be bigger than the Yi Cheng Hou Fu, where is it that easy.

  I don't know who in this mansion will eventually become a pawn for Madame Bu, and who can be the final bargaining chip.

  Haha, today's update is a bit more, congratulations to Little Zhengtai for officially making his debut.
