The next day, after breakfast, Xiaohu went to Yang's Restaurant.
"Shopkeeper, I'm from your employer and I want you to help me with something." Xiaohu took out the Yang family mark and showed it to the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Feng looked at the sign and knew that he was the boss's servant, so he called him into the backyard.
"Tell me what you need my help with." Shopkeeper Feng said to Xiaohu.
"I want you to take Madam Ma to the private room on the second floor. I have something to discuss with her and I don't want the servants around her to know." Xiaohu told Shopkeeper Feng truthfully.
"You won't do anything bad to Madam Ma, will you? After all, she is Ma Junhao's wife, and Ma Junhao is a big shot in Qingshui County. If it is bad for her, I am not willing to take the risk, unless it is the boss's intention." Shopkeeper Feng still told Xiaohu about the interests involved. He could not offend the Ma family for a servant, otherwise it would be difficult for him to do business.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to her. She has some relationship with me, but for some reasons, I can't tell it in front of outsiders." Xiaohu said.
"Okay, as long as it's not bad for her, I can help you. You go to box number two first, and I'll let her go over later." Manager Feng said to Xiaohu.
"Okay, thank you, boss!" Xiaohu said, went upstairs and waited for his aunt to arrive.
Tong Ruolan came to the seat, and soon the waiter brought tea, followed by a note. Tong Ruolan held the note, feeling nervous. Why did the waiter bring the note? Could it be that Xiaohu, the son of her eldest brother, had someone send it? She looked at the maids beside her. One was looking around, and the other was standing quietly aside, not daring to look around. Suppressing her heartbeat, she took advantage of the two people's inattention and carefully opened the note. It said, "An acquaintance wants to see you. Please leave the maid next to you and go to the second floor, box number two, alone." Tong Ruolan was even more certain that it was Xiaohu, but what she didn't understand was why she couldn't let the people around her know. Although she didn't understand, she still decided to do it.
"Xiaomei, go back and get a cloak. It's a bit cold today." Tong Ruolan said to the maid who was looking around.
"But, Madam, I must serve you, or Xiaoju can go back," Xiaomei said to Tong Ruolan. She was actually the master's mistress, a man he kept outside. Three years ago, he had brought her into the mansion, placing her by his side to monitor her every move. Especially her cousin, Tong Xiaohu. If Madam found him, she had to notify him immediately.
"Why, my words don't work? Am I the Madam, or are you the Madam? You've already started to teach me how to do things. Do you want me to give you the position of Madam? I'm afraid you can't sit there. Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. In my place, you actually climbed into the master's bed. You're really shameless. You'd better behave yourself, or I will sell you to a brothel as the mistress of the house, so that you can climb into the beds of many men." Although Tong Ruolan is easy to talk to, she is not the daughter of the Tong family for nothing. Her parents hired a famous nanny to discipline her, and she learned everything about what a mistress of a wealthy family should do. It's just that she married Ma Junhao, whose status and position were not good, so she restrained herself and became a good wife and mother. Six years ago, something happened in her eldest brother's family. In order to find Xiaohu, she had no mood to take care of the affairs of the mansion. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Xiaomei climbing into the bed.
"I know I'm wrong. Madam, please forgive me. I'll go back and get my cloak." Xiaomei saw the Madam angry for the first time. She knew she had gotten into trouble and quickly apologized. She didn't want to be sold to a brothel and live a life of being fucked by thousands of men.
After Xiaomei finished speaking, she hurried to the Ma residence.
Xiaoju was so frightened when she saw the usually kind lady get angry that she started shaking.
"Xiao Ju, go to the kitchen. Why haven't the dishes been served yet? Don't come back until the dishes are ready." Tong Ruolan said to Xiao Ju.
"Yes, ma'am." Xiaoju said and went to the kitchen.
At this time, the waiter also went to the kitchen and asked the chef to delay the cooking.
Tong Ruolan saw Xiaoju leave and the waiter following behind. Knowing that the waiter would hold Xiaoju back, she walked up to the second floor box number two.
Arriving in front of box number two, her heart was beating fast and she was very nervous. Could it be Xiaohu? Could it be the eldest brother's son?
Gather up your courage, open the door of the room, and walk in.
When Xiaohu saw his aunt come in, he shouted excitedly.
"Aunt, I'm Xiaohu, how are you?"
Tong Ruolan was delighted when she heard him call her aunt. It was Xiaohu, her eldest brother's only son who was still alive.
"Xiaohu, where have you been? You haven't come to see your aunt for six years." Tong Ruolan looked at Xiaohu and said, with a hint of disgust in her words.
"Aunt, since the soldiers came, our nanny took me to secretly crawl out through a dog hole. But she crawled back in and blocked the dog hole, not letting me go back. I could only listen to the screams from the mansion in the dog hole until they were all killed by the soldiers. Then I crawled out. I wandered all the way, avoiding their pursuit." Xiaohu told his aunt what happened that year.
"My poor child, why didn't you go find your aunt? Your aunt could take care of you instead of your parents. You don't know how much you've blamed yourself over the past six years. You didn't even know about your accident. If your uncle hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known. When we rushed over, dozens of people in the Tong family were dead, including your parents. When I saw your bodies, I almost wanted to go with you. Fortunately, Lan Xi said that you were still alive and that the boy was not you. That's why I have hope of survival—that is, to find you.
God will not let down those who work hard. After six years, I finally found you. Your aunt can finally be considered worthy of your parents. Tong Ruolan hugged Xiaohu and cried bitterly. Every time she thought of that scene, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.
She remembered that her elder brother and sister-in-law were very kind to her, always protecting her and never letting her get hurt. But how could such kind people do such a thing?
