[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

The inquisitors soon spread the news that this Aunt Fen's boudoir name was Li Xuefen, she was the only concubine daughter of the Li Mansion, and there was also a concubine brother from her aunt who was eight or nine years older than her.Her husband's family name is Xiao, and his given name is Zheng.Hearing this, Ling Rong can basically confirm that this Aunt Fen is the Aunt Xiao back then!She remembered that Aunt Xiao's full name was Xiao Lifen!Obviously, the husband's surname includes the original surname and first name!Ling Rong calmed himself down and continued to listen to the news.

Xiaozheng was born in a scholarly family, with only one old mother in his family. She was a meager person, and she only wanted to study for fame and study hard all day long, ignoring mundane affairs; she lived on a winery and some land left by her ancestors. It is also generous.Not long after the two got married, Mrs. Xiao passed away, and everything in the family fell on Aunt Xiao.The first days were very difficult. After all, what she learned most when she was a girl was caring for husbands and children instead of doing business.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zheng failed in many trials, became depressed, and fell ill, finally passed away three years ago, leaving Aunt Xiao alone.At that time, the two had only been married for three years, and they had not given birth to a son and a half daughter. Now she is left alone to guard the life of the winery and a few acres of Susukida left by her husband.It's just a woman, without her husband as a support, her life is very hard, and there are always some so-called relatives who want to take advantage of her.Now that Boss Li is still around, those people can restrain themselves a bit, but if Boss Li is gone in the future, it's hard to say whether she can keep her current life.

Ling Rong really wants to help Aunt Xiao, but this is not a problem that can be solved with simple money.This era is too unfair to women. It is almost impossible for a woman to support a family alone. Even if you are better than a man, you still have a wrong name!Ling Rong felt a deep helplessness.

Ling Rong forced himself to stop thinking about it and calm down to think about countermeasures.In fact, it is not difficult to solve the matter, as long as Aunt Xiao can have children, she can justifiably keep all the family property.But this matter is not easy to operate, Lingrong still needs to know more things to operate.What she can do now is to establish a good relationship with Aunt Xiao first.

With a clear goal, Ling Rong went to visit Aunt Xiao the next day.Ah, now, she should call her "Aunt Fern", she prefers this title.Ling Rong didn't go to the Xiao Manor to find someone, but went directly to the winery.The Xiao's winery is called "Xiao's Winery". It has a history of hundreds of years. It can be regarded as a time-honored brand, and its business has always been good.

"Xiao's Winery" is easy to find, Ling Rong came straight to "Xiao's Winery" with sapphire and colored glaze.Unexpectedly, before entering the door, he saw a drunk middle-aged man coming out of the wine shop cursing.Their faces were full of flesh and they smelled of alcohol, so Ling Rong and the others had to cover their mouths and noses.

"It's true that there are all kinds of people. They were drunk early in the morning, and they stink to death." Qingyu rubbed her nose and said with a sullen expression on her face.

"Okay, don't pay attention to such useless people, let's go in." Ling Rong looked at the back of the man walking away, and had some general thoughts in his heart.

"Aunt Fen, are you there?" Ling Rong called softly, and as expected, he heard some voices rushing to pick up the debris inside.

After a while, Aunt Xiao came out to greet her, with a forced smile and a tired expression.

"It's Rong'er, why are you here looking for Aunt Fen? Quick, go to the inner hall with Aunt Fen."

"Rong'er heard that Aunt Fen has delicious peach blossom wine, so she couldn't wait to find Aunt Fen. Aunt Fen won't blame Rong'er, right?" Ling Rong said with a charming smile.

"How could it be? It's too late for Aunt Fen to welcome you. But this winery is mixed with fish and dragons and has a complicated product line. It's really not suitable for a little girl like you. Let's forget it this time. Next time I want to drink peach blossom wine, I'll send someone to pick it up." That's it, you can't be so reckless again." Aunt Xiao reminded while leading Ling Rong to the inner hall.

"Yes, Rong'er won't dare to do it again next time." Ling Rong held Aunt Xiao's arm and smiled cutely.

After entering the inner hall, Aunt Xiao asked someone to bring peach blossom wine and some snacks to Lingrong.

"Rong'er, come and taste this peach blossom wine." Aunt Xiao poured a small cup of peach blossom wine for Lingrong, the crystal clear pink color revealed a sense of confusion.Ling Rong took a sip of the drink, it tasted sweet with a hint of peach blossom.

"It's delicious!" Ling Rong took another sip in satisfaction.

"One more drink is enough. This peach blossom wine is light, but it will be intoxicating." Aunt Xiao added another glass to Ling Rong, and put the wine jar away.

"Aunt Fen, who was that drunkard just now? He came to the winery early in the morning." Ling Rong was not in a hurry to drink a second cup, but asked Aunt Xiao.

"Why does Rong'er ask this?" Aunt Xiao asked after a pause.

"Rong'er is just worried about you, Aunt Fen. That person's dirty mouth must be very troublesome for Aunt Fen, right?" Ling Rong looked at Aunt Xiao worriedly.

"Don't worry, Rong'er, that man is your uncle's cousin, and he just came here to discuss something with Aunt Fen." Aunt Xiao smiled reassuringly, the tired look in her eyes was clearly visible.

"That's it, Rong'er thought too much, and thought that man was here to fight the autumn wind." Ling Rong smiled with relief.

"How could it be?" Aunt Xiao clenched her hands tightly and smiled unnaturally.

Ling Rong didn't stay for long, and after chatting with Aunt Xiao about the family affairs for a quarter of an hour, she said goodbye and left, taking a small jar of peach blossom wine that Aunt Xiao forced to force her over.

As soon as he left the winery, Ling Rong ordered Liuli to inquire about the drunkard. Ling Rong had a feeling that it was not far from her being able to help Aunt Xiao get rid of her current predicament, and that man was the key.

At noon, Ling Rong was about to take a nap, when Liu Li came back from the outside as soon as he took off the hairpin and jewelry.

"Miss, I'm done inquiring, miss, do you want to take a nap first?" Liu Li knew that Ling Rong was planning to take a nap when she saw Ling Rong withdraw the hairpin.

"No, you can talk now." Ling Rong sat in front of the dressing table as he spoke, brushing his hair repeatedly.

Liuli began to report the news clearly.

That man's name is Xiao Gui, he is the cousin of the same great-grandfather as Xiao, and he is also the only remaining male in the Xiao family.The members of the Xiao family are withered, and there are no other relatives within the fifth server.Xiao Zheng did not leave any heirs, so when Xiao Zheng died, the one who had the most right to inherit the property was not Aunt Xiao Xiao Zheng's widow, but Xiao Gui, his cousin!

This Xiao Gui is five or six years older than Xiao Zheng. He is an idler, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. After ruining his family's wealth, he put his mind on Xiao Zheng's. on the head.When Xiao Zheng was still alive, he often went to the winery to enjoy the autumn breeze, but he didn't dare to go too far at that time, at most he just touched two jars of wine and drank.But after Xiao Zheng died, Xiao Gui lost his scruples and tried every means to snatch the winery away!It's just that Mr. Li's personal connections are scruples, and he doesn't dare to rob him directly, but it's normal to go to the winery to ask for money!Make Aunt Xiao very annoying, but there is nothing I can do!

"Does this Xiao Gui have any heirs?" Ling Rong asked after hearing Liuli's narration.

"Yes, Xiao Gui has a son who is three years old this year. Speaking of which, the child is also poor. He lost his mother just after he turned one year old. His father only knows how to gamble and drink, and often relies on others to help him. Live without a single meal." Liu Li said rather sadly.

"So... Liuli, have you seen Xiao Gui again?" Ling Rong asked suddenly.

"Yes. Speaking of which, when I saw Xiao Gui's complexion was sallow and his stomach was swollen, it seemed..." Liuli hesitated.

"Like what?" Ling Rong asked.

"It seems to be suffering from liver disease! It's just that the servant hasn't touched his pulse, so I can't tell for sure." Liuli replied truthfully.

"Liuli, go follow that Xiao Gui these few days, and find a chance to check his pulse. Remember to be careful, don't be found out." Ling Rong ordered after pondering for a while.

"Yes! I'll do it right now, slave girl." Liu Li said that she was about to go out, but was stopped by Ling Rong.

"No rush, it's not too late to go back tomorrow. But you have something to say, you can find someone to spread it out later. So... so..." Ling Rong murmured a few words in Liu Li's ear before letting Liu Li go out.

Three days later...

"Miss, miss, the 'Xiao Family Winery' has been stolen!" Sapphire walked into the room in a hurry.

"Oh? What valuables did you lose?" Ling Rong asked quite calmly.

"There are no valuables. It is said that two jars of 30-year-old wine were stolen." Qingyu said inexplicably, "It's strange, but you don't take the money, but steal the wine? Could it be the treasure of the store?"

"Okay, don't guess, let's go and have a look." Ling Rong straightened his clothes and said softly.

When Ling Rong arrived at the winery with sapphire and colored glaze, the inside of the winery had been cleaned up properly, and there was no sign of someone breaking into the empty door.

"Aunt Fen, are you there?" Ling Rong searched anxiously.

"Rong'er, why are you here? Didn't you tell you not to come to the winery?" Aunt Xiao looked at Ling Rong reproachfully.

"I heard that the winery was stolen, so I came to take a look when I was a little worried. Aunt Fen was not surprised, right?" Ling Rong looked at Aunt Xiao worriedly.

"It's okay, I just lost some loose silver and two jugs of wine, Rong'er don't have to worry." Aunt Xiao smiled softly, she didn't care.

"Wine? What are you doing stealing wine? Is it the treasure of the store?" Ling Rong asked curiously.

"It's not considered the treasure of the store, but two altars of Fenjiu that have been cellared for 10 years. Good wine is good wine, too bad." Aunt Xiao sighed softly, with helplessness on her brows.

"Aunt Fen, why don't you report to the authorities? Maybe you can get her back." Ling Rong suggested.

"Report to the official? No, forget it." Aunt Xiao refused without hesitation.

"Does Aunt Fen know who did it?" Ling Rong asked tentatively.

"This... why Rong'er thinks like this?" Aunt Xiao's expression flickered.

"Aunt Fen, you'd better report to the officials. The 10-year-old Fenjiu is a strong liquor. If someone can't stand it after drinking it and dies, what should I do?" Ling Rong stared at Aunt Xiao and said with a smile.

"What!" Aunt Xiao looked at Ling Rong in shock, a little flustered.

"Aunt Fen, don't be so nervous, Rong'er is just talking casually." Ling Rong took a sip of tea and said cutely, then suddenly changed the subject and said: "But... Aunt Fen should report to the police .”

"..., good." Aunt Xiao answered with difficulty, looking at Ling Rong with fear and unspeakable expectations.

Ling Rong stopped pointing, and didn't dwell on this topic any longer, and chatted about family matters with Aunt Xiao.

The next day, news came that Xiao Gui was drunk and slipped into the river and unfortunately drowned.Xiao Gui didn't have any relatives, Aunt Xiao helped to collect the body and buried it.According to the legend in the country, Xiao Gui knew that his liver disease was serious and there was no possibility of recovery, so he used alcohol to relieve his sorrow and caused a tragedy.No matter where the rumors come from, Xiao Gui's death is a foregone conclusion.After that, Aunt Xiao adopted Xiao Gui's three-year-old son as a matter of course, and everything was settled.

On the day of adoption, Ling Rong went to visit with Ling Zhi, and was very comforted to see Aunt Xiao's energetic appearance.The road was walked out by herself, so she can only help her to get here, and it should be regarded as repayment for her kindness to her mother in her previous life.
