When Mrs. E heard Xu Zhoujiao mention Aunt Ding and Liu Rushuang, she was stunned for a moment.

She did not answer Xu Zhoujiao's question directly, but fell into deep thought.

Xu Zhoujiao has been keeping an eye on Madam E's every move.

She looked at Madam E's frowning brow.

I felt a little regretful.

Everyone has a past that they don't want to talk about.

These past events must be the greatest pain in Madam E’s heart!

After a long while, Old Lady E withdrew her thoughts and sighed heavily.

She looked at Xu Zhoujiao and said softly, "Since you can ask about Aunt Ding, you must know something about the past of my E Mansion."

"Although Aunt Ding has been in Buddhist meditation for ten years, the jokes that happened in my E's Mansion during those years are still fresh in the minds of the people in Kyoto."

Madam E pointed to her heart and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, sir. Even though this happened so many years ago, it's still something I can't let go of."

"A concubine was welcomed into the house with great fanfare, and was treated as equal to the principal wife, turning the principal wife into a joke."

"No matter which woman it is, she would probably make a big scene about this."

"But sir, I can't."

"Not only can I not do that, I have to greet Aunt Ding and her daughter with a smile!"

"It's because Aunt Ding's late husband was kind to my mother-in-law."

"So our whole family must treat them with courtesy, and even welcome them into the house with a grand banquet, provide them with delicious food and drink, and feed them."

"If I'm not careful, they'll use my mother-in-law, my husband, and my children as an excuse."

"But sir, I don't understand. Isn't it natural for a doctor to be paid to treat patients?"

"Our family has already given a generous reward."

"Why should I be responsible for his wife and children's lives?"

"My Lord, there is no such thing in this world! No!"

Xuzhou Jiao learned the story behind the concubine from the collapsed words of Mrs. E.

It turned out to be Mrs. E's mother-in-law, Mrs. E, who was left with a stubborn headache due to her poor family in her early years and the fact that she did not take good care of herself after giving birth.

After his son, Master E, becomes successful.

In order to cure the stubborn illness of Old Lady E, the filial Mr. E sought out many famous doctors.

But the effect is only to treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Until I met Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu's ancestors were very knowledgeable about headaches and left behind a special medicine that, if taken regularly for more than a month, would cure the root of the disease.

Fully recovered.

Sure enough, under the treatment of Doctor Liu, Old Lady E's headache was cured quickly.

In order to thank Doctor Liu for his miraculous healing skills, Old Lady E not only gave him five hundred taels of gold, but also handed him the token of the E family.

He said that if he needed help in the future, he could just come to him with the token.

No matter what the matter is, the E family will do it for him.

Old Lady E, who was not tormented by headaches, passed away after just a few years of peaceful life.

Not long after the death of Lady E.

A widow with a six-year-old child and a token of the E family entered the gate of the E Mansion.

It turns out that Doctor Liu had passed away at the beginning of the year.

Before he died, he took out the token given by the old lady of E'er and asked his wife and daughter to seek some protection in the E'er Mansion, so that they would not be bullied after his death.

Lord E felt sorry for the mother and daughter, so he built a small house for them in Kyoto.

But who would have thought that as soon as Aunt Ding and her daughter entered the E Mansion, they were dazzled by the wealthy life there.

They came to the house again and again with many excuses.

What was even more shameful was that they took advantage of the drunkenness of Master E, one of them sneaked into the bedroom, and the other shouted for help.

When everyone arrived.

Aunt Ding was lying naked on Master E's chest.

She insisted that it was Master E who got drunk and dragged her into the room and raped her.

She was very smart and kept saying that she was the widow of the benefactor of Lady E.

He claimed that he wanted an explanation from the E'an government.

Under the pressure of her every word, Master E and his family had no choice but to bow their heads.

Because the E Mansion was already a famous wealthy family in Kyoto City at that time, and the young master of the mansion, although not very old, was already on the list of candidates.

Whether in terms of reputation or future, this matter should not be made public.

Finally, Master E, on the grounds that there were few children in the family, took Aunt Ding in as a concubine.

Although Aunt Ding was treated coldly by Master E after she entered the family, they still lived a pretty good life.

This kind of life continued until Liu Rushuang reached the age to get married.

Perhaps Aunt Ding and her daughter were so used to showing off in front of Master E's family that they forgot their own identities.

They actually proposed the idea of ​​marrying Liu Rushuang to Young Master E.

This idea was rejected on the spot by Master E's family.

Especially Master E.

He made it clear that even if he never took part in the imperial examination again in this life, he would never marry a lowly and shameless woman like Liu Rushuang.

Master E said to his parents who were trying to compromise: Taking imperial examinations is not the only path in this world.

If this road is destined to be taken under the coercion of others.

Then he chose not to wrong himself! Not to wrong his family! Just not to take this path!

Master E's words.

Not only did it overturn the plans of Aunt Ding and her daughter, but it also brought about earth-shaking changes in their lives in E's Mansion.

In the days that followed, Master E cut off all their money.

Fortunately, the mother and daughter have saved a lot of private money over the years, which is enough to barely maintain their prosperous life.

In order to marry into a wealthy family, Liu Rushuang put a lot of effort into men.

She lingered around various men.

In the end, she chose Huang Yuan, an obedient and easy-to-foolery man.

Because Huang Yuan's father was a doctor in the Ministry of Justice and a colleague of the young master of the E family.

In order to make his son's career smoother.

When Liu Rushuang got married, Master E still gave her a decent wedding and prepared a dowry.

Since then, the two families have been in contact with each other.

After giving birth to her daughter Huang Ying, Liu Rushuang took her daughter back to E's Mansion every few days under the pretext of visiting her aunt!

Although everyone in E Mansion has always disliked Liu Rushuang.

But they still accepted the chubby, cute and happy little Huang Ying.

After all, no one would make things difficult for a well-behaved and cute child.

Until that tragedy happened.

Madam E wiped her tears and said to Xu Zhoujiao who was listening attentively, "My Lord, I know that E Ji was affected by the incident yesterday. You must think that he is a fool who was led by Huang Ying."

"But there is a reason why he was used by Huang Ying."

"Huang Ying has not been able to sleep well every night since she was rescued from the ruined temple. She would cry non-stop at the slightest disturbance."

"She kept shouting that the bad guys wanted to kill her and that the bad guys had put a knife to her neck."

"Looking at Huang Ying's reactions, Eji felt guilty. He felt that he had implicated Huang Ying."

"Plus, if Huang Ying hadn't shouted loudly in the dilapidated temple without caring about her own safety, I'm afraid my daughter-in-law would have been in great danger."

"For this, our family is very grateful to Huang Ying."

"Especially Eji, he has treated Huang Ying as his own sister since then."

"But who would have thought that this child would change from the obedient and docile child she was when she was little, and become more and more like her mother. She is just as unscrupulous and calculating as her mother."

"Sir, our family is now supported by Eji alone."

"Even if I have a great favor, I can't just watch Eji fall into the quagmire of Liu Rushuang and her daughter."

"That would destroy him."

Xu Zhoujiao looked at Old Madam E who was still kept in the dark by Liu Rushuang and her daughter.

Seeing her struggling between guilt and reason.

Xu Zhoujiao felt a little bit reluctant.

She felt that instead of letting Madam E and E Ji be tortured by this false favor, it would be better to tell her the truth directly.

This not only exposed the true colors of Liu Rushuang and her daughter, but also comforted the spirits of Lord E and his wife in heaven.

The most important thing is that through this incident, Eji can completely get rid of Huang Ying.

Xu Zhoujiao went over the words in her mind many times before she slowly spoke to Madam E: "Madam E, it was not an accident that Eji was abducted that year."

"Someone colluded with the bandits and tricked him out of the house."

ps: Although Eji is very pitiful, in my heart, I still prefer Chen Shiwei~

No one will reject someone who is truly kind to you (unless he is ugly)
