Chapter 230 Cousin, you are finally willing to come to see me
After getting off the car, Mrs. Pei nodded unconsciously and sighed deeply: "It's still the same as before, the door hasn't changed."
Ye Mingya was happy when she heard it. Since she found the right one, she could knock on the door.
Thinking of her like this, she stretched out her hand and knocked on the door ring.
Soon there were footsteps and the door opened.
The old butler with gray hair shuddered when he saw Mrs. Ye standing outside the door.
Although he hadn't seen her for many years, he recognized her at first sight.
"Miss Cousin? Why are you here? Is it because my eyes are blurry and I have hallucinations?"
The old butler looked at Mrs. Ye and murmured, feeling like he was dreaming.
Mrs. Ye sighed softly and also stared at him in a daze.
After a while, she whispered, "The book boy who accompanied me to study has turned gray now. It's been more than half a century since we last met."
The old housekeeper was sure that the person standing in front of him was the cousin that Mr. Lin had been thinking about day and night.
He couldn't help but shed tears, and murmured like a dream, "Cousin, you are finally here. Our eldest master has been waiting for you. You are still the same as you were back then. It's great, it's great, please come in."
Mrs. Ye nodded and raised her hand to Ye Mingya.
Ye Mingya understood that this was a good opportunity to take her in. She hurried forward to hold her grandmother's arm, and then winked at Pei Qizhong, asking him to hold her grandmother's other arm.
"My grandma is seriously ill and has been lying in bed for a long time. I suddenly wanted to visit my old friend, but I couldn't take care of my body."
Ye Mingya smiled at the old housekeeper, and then explained.
First, to show her identity, she is the granddaughter of the cousin mentioned by the old housekeeper, and second, it is convenient for her to go in with Pei Qizhong.
The old housekeeper turned his head and looked at her. He was indeed wary and showed no mercy.
He said in a deep voice: "Only cousin can go in." After that, he turned his head and said: "Come on, help cousin in."
Then several elderly women came out, bowed to Old Madam Ye, and shouted in unison: "Cousin."
Looking at them, Old Madam Ye was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"You..."
The old housekeeper explained softly: "Miss, the servants in Courtyard No. 8 are still the same ones as before."
Old Madam Ye shook her head painfully, looked at the old ladies, and asked sadly: "You have been staying here all the time, and you haven't married? How did you survive for so many years?"
She had always heard that Courtyard No. 8 was isolated from the world, but she didn't expect that the servants inside were still the same ones as before.
The old ladies all replied in unison; "We stayed here voluntarily. The old man once said that we could move out with the old lady and the others, or we could take the indenture and go home, but there was no one in our family, so we stayed." Hearing
this, Old Madam Ye was not so sad anymore.
"That's good. I was worried that you would be imprisoned here."
The old housekeeper hurriedly said, "The eldest young master is always kind to others. My cousin knows that. This kind of situation will never happen."
Old Madam Ye nodded and smiled apologetically, "I misunderstood my cousin."
Several elderly women came forward to support Old Madam Ye and squeezed Ye Mingya out.
Ye Mingya hurriedly shouted: "Grandma, I have to accompany you, and Ah Zhong."
The old housekeeper heard her words, turned his head to look at Pei Qizhong, and asked indifferently: "Aren't you the follower of the Pei family girl? Why did you come with Old Madam Ye and the others? What is your purpose?"
Pei Qizhong replied innocently: "Hey, I didn't want to come with them, I was forced to come."
As he said this, he seemed to have forgotten that he had come to the Lin family to rescue Pei Zhiwan before, and calmly recounted how he met Old Madam Ye and the others and was forced to come here.
The old housekeeper's expression was slightly relieved: "Thank you for your help, you can go now. By the way, I will give you a reward..."
As he said this, he was about to take money from his pocket.
Pei Qizhong suddenly got angry. He shouted unhappily: "Are we in the Pei family short of money? Would I bring them here for money? It's just for Old Madam Ye. She is very pitiful. Our eldest daughter treated her before, but the Ye family didn't seem to want her to get better and they made all kinds of troubles."
"Ah Zhong, shut up." Ye Mingya warned him not to talk nonsense.
Pei Qizhong asked unhappily: "Why should I shut up? Isn't what I said the truth? Our eldest daughter is too kind. She is kind enough to help you treat your illness, but she always encounters all kinds of unexpected troubles and is not treated with courtesy."
After that, he still told the old housekeeper about Pei Zhiwan's treatment of Old Madam Ye that day.
After hearing this, the old housekeeper looked at Old Lady Ye and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you feeling okay now?"
Old Lady Ye said, "Let the two children come in with you. One is my granddaughter, and the other is the follower of the young doctor who saved my life. They are all people who care about me and will not disturb my cousin's meditation." The
old housekeeper thought about it, and said with some consideration, "Then I will go in and ask for instructions first."
After saying that, he motioned a few elderly women to block the door, and then turned around the screen wall and disappeared.
About ten minutes later, the old housekeeper came out.
But this time, there was an old man following him.
Pei Qizhong recognized him at a glance. It was Old Master Lin.
He waved his hand and said, "Master Lin, do you still remember me? My eldest daughter cured your illness. Oh, I forgot. You were unconscious at that time, so naturally you didn't remember me. But it's better this way, so that you won't be unhappy that I broke into Courtyard No. 8."
Pei Qizhong said the last sentence in a very low voice, almost inaudible.
But Old Master Lin heard it, and he sneered: "You are quite brave and capable."
Pei Qizhong chuckled and said, "Old Master Lin, you look good. Did our eldest lady give you new medicine? Or maybe she didn't give you new medicine but her medicine is very powerful and can bring you back to life. You still look well now..."
But Old Master Lin ignored him and walked to Old Madam Ye, staring at her quietly without saying anything.
When Old Lady Ye saw the man in front of her, she found that he was no longer the handsome young man she had been before, but a skinny, emaciated old man with a sallow complexion. She could not help but look at Old Master Lin with a surprised and self-blaming expression on her face.
"Cousin, you finally came to see me. I have been waiting for more than half a century..."
Old Master Lin was very moved, his eyes were blurred with tears, and he stared at the man in front of him.
Old Lady Ye also felt that tears were flowing.
More than half a century ago, she and Young Master Ye from the imperial capital fell in love with each other, and they fell in love with each other and got married regardless of everything.
