Those days when Mrs. Yazhai

Ke'er felt that most of the audience seemed to have believed what she said, so she breathed a sigh of relief.Taking advantage of the chaotic discussions among the tea guests, he quietly retreated to the back.

Xiaoyin hid behind and was waiting for her with her clothes. When she saw her coming, she rushed to meet her, with a very excited expression on her face: "Is what Miss Jie'er said true?"

Jie'er gave Xiaoyin a white look, and said, "You doubt me?"

"I just despise what I did to the emperor. Although I never thought he was a good person, I still couldn't control my anger after hearing this."

Ke'er sighed, "I'm angry too, but what's the point of being angry? It doesn't really make much sense to try to tell the truth now, it's just something for those people to talk about after dinner."

Ke'er rubbed the clothes in his hands, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of the expressions of the tea drinkers just now, "But I still feel a little happy to see them shocked to the point of unbelievable. "

Just as she was about to find a place to change back with her clothes, the girl who sang the ditty song suddenly walked up to Ke'er timidly, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask who the girl belongs to the Empress?"

Ke'er looked at the girl vigilantly and asked, "Who is the girl?"

The girl seemed a little excited, and asked with a trembling voice: "Young lady is the empress's relative, right?"

Ke'er felt that the girl in front of her was weird, she said sharply: "Who sent the girl? The third prince? Or the eldest prince?"

The girl waved her hands again and again, and hurriedly said: "I am not sent by anyone, I am someone who has been favored by the empress, so I am a little excited to see the relatives of the empress."

Jie'er and Xiaoyin glanced at each other, feeling very puzzled.

The girl took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and began to explain: "My mother used to be a brothel girl, but she accidentally got me and was kicked out. She met the empress when she took me to the streets, The empress helped us find a place to live, and found a job for my mother to support us, mother and daughter."

Speaking of this, the girl's eye sockets are full of tears, and the tears will pour out just by turning her eyeballs.Xiaoyin's heart was soft, she didn't want others to cry, she tugged on Ke'er's sleeve, wanting her to say something to comfort the girl.

Ke'er frowned and asked, "And then, where did your mother go?"

"My mother later got a very serious illness, spent all our family's money, and died without being cured."

"My mother gave this to me before she died." The girl took out a well-wrapped thing from her bosom, and she opened the outer cloth handkerchief, and inside was a pair of fine and fine jade bracelets.

"This was back then..." The girl seemed a little embarrassed, she bit her lip hard and then whispered, "My mother stole it from the empress."

Xiaoyin's eyes widened upon hearing this.

She has no specific concept of the word "stealing", but she also knows that it is wrong to do so.But when she looked at the girl in front of her, she always felt that her mother must have had some difficulties back then.

Sure enough, the girl explained again: "I was still young at the time, and my mother was too worried about me. She was afraid that the empress would only take pity on us for a while, and she would help us. She was afraid that we would still starve after the empress left, and that I would be starved." Death, I did something wrong because of my obsession."

The girl wiped the tears off her face with her hand, and handed the bracelet to Ke'er: "My mother was still blaming herself before she died, saying that she shouldn't have done this. She asked me to help return the bracelet, and said to the Queen Mother I'm sorry, but I don't know how to pay back."

Looking at the jade bracelet handed to her eyes and the girl whose eyes were red from crying, Ke'er's heart softened, and she asked uncertainly, "So... you want to give it to me?"

The girl's eyes were red, she nodded slowly, and said: "If the girl is a relative of the empress, I will give it to you, and my mother's wish will be forgotten."

Ke'er thought for a while and said, "Girl, don't cry, wait for me to change your clothes, and then I will take you to see my cousin. He is the empress's son. It's better for you to give this to him."

——

When Chang An was talking to Shen Qi, you and me, when Ke'er suddenly brought someone over.

Chang An was familiar with that person, she was the Wanwan girl who sang ditties in the teahouse.At that time, when the shopkeeper wanted to keep her, he specially let him see her.

But Chang An didn't understand why the Wanwan girl stood in front of him with red eyes, "Wanwan girl? What are you doing here without taking a rest after singing?"

Ke'er wanted Wan Wan to speak for herself, but seeing Wan Wan's timid look, she couldn't help it because of her impatience.

"Wanwan is here to return something."

Shen Qi asked curiously: "What else?"

Wan Wan took out the jade bracelet again, and said slowly: "This belongs to the empress."

Both Shen Qi and Chang An didn't realize who the empress was talking about, and Ke'er anxiously explained: "She said it belonged to my aunt."

Wan Wan knelt down to Shen Qi without any warning, Shen Qi was startled, he was in a hurry and didn't know how to help him.

Chang An shook Shen Qi's hand, signaling him to calm down.Then he asked Wanwan: "What is Miss Wanwan doing?"

Wan Wan looked up at Shen Qi with eyes red from crying, handed the pair of jade bracelets in front of him, and said those things word by word.

Shen Qi had already been coaxed by Chang An, but when Wan Wan mentioned his mother, he felt a little uncomfortable again.

Chang An felt that Shen Qi's mood had changed, so he gently held his hand and comforted him, "Ma'am, don't be sad."

Shen Qi looked at the pair of jade bracelets that Miss Wanwan handed to him, shook his head with reddish eyes, and said, "I'm not sad."

He really wasn't sad, just couldn't hold back his longing.

It has been so many years since mother passed away, and Shen Qi has already gotten used to it.

But from yesterday when he accidentally heard other people talking about those messy things, to today when Changan took him to vent his anger, the blurred image of his mother has been coming and going in his mind all the time.

Looking at the jade bracelet, Shen Qi felt even more mixed.

When his mother left, he didn't leave anything behind. The one that Wanwan girl was holding was the only thing related to his mother that he had seen in these years.

Wanwan took the opportunity to say again: "This is my mother's mistake back then, I will return it to you now."

Shen Qi was still hesitating.

He wanted it, but was afraid that it would be inappropriate to take it.

Chang An seemed to have seen his thoughts, so he said softly: "Madam, take it, this is Wan Wan's mother's last wish."

——

After Wan Wan left, Shen Qi kept holding the jade bracelet in his hand and stroking it, imagining how his mother would look wearing the bracelet back then.

Chang An hugged Shen Qi in his arms and looked at the pair of jade bracelets with him. After a long time, he comforted him: "Madam has me now."

Jie'er and Xiaoyin glanced at each other, and they both felt that the two people on the opposite side were too tired and crooked.But the two of them couldn't say anything, so they tacitly said nothing, just watched quietly.
