In the middle of the sixth lunar month, Li Haitang had been walking for more than ten days. He had no idea where he was or what route he had taken. He wanted to deliver a letter but could not find a place to receive it.

What's more, Zhang Ruyi wants to deal with it on her own and get through the current predicament. Maybe in a certain year or month, she can downplay everything that happens now and not be overly sad.

"Yes, it would be nice if Haitang was here."

Lan Yi also agrees that Li Haitang is the backbone of the sisters and sees everything very clearly. If he knows what happened, he will definitely be able to think of a solution as quickly as possible.

They can't contact people for the time being, so they have to rely on themselves.

"Lanyi, thanks to you and Ji Qiu's busy schedule these days, things have been difficult for you and your wife."

Zhang Ruyi was very apologetic about this. In fact, Lan Yi's son had not yet been weaned and was clingy. Because of her, Lan Yi did not see his son for a while.

"Miss, how can you say that?"

Lan Yi shook his head. Although the contract of sale was returned by his own lady, she was her maid and sister, and this would never change in her lifetime.

If it hadn't been for Madam's kindness back then, she would have starved to death long ago. It would have been impossible for her to grow up with the young lady and live a comfortable life for so many years.

Zhang Ruyi is arrogant and has the temper of a young lady, but rarely beats or scolds her subordinates. Lan Yi relies on Zhang Ruyi to help cover up his mistakes.

Lan Yi thought of many things. At that time, they were still in Zhang's Mansion in Kyoto. She was careless and broke the old lady's favorite jade bracelet. It was her own lady who took the initiative to take the blame for her.

For this reason, the old lady was even more displeased, and she locked him up in the Zhang family ancestral hall, where he knelt for three days and three nights.

For three days and three nights, there was no water. When Lan Yi went to pick up her young lady, her intestines hurt. She cried so much that she almost flooded the whole house with tears.

"Lan Yi, don't cry. Your lady is fine and her life is good."

At that time, Zhang Ruyi had a pale face and weakly comforted Lan Yi.

"Miss, why do you want to recognize me as a slave? One person does the work and the other takes responsibility."

Lan Yi wiped his tears with his sleeves and said so.

"Silly, that was my grandmother's favorite bracelet. If I broke it, I would only have to kneel down for a few days. If it were you, you would probably be beaten to death."

Zhang Ruyi knew that her grandmother was a mistress, and her only method of intimidating her servants was to kill her with a stick to show her authority. Grandma doesn't like her anyway, she just hates her more, so what?

From that time on, Lan Yi became more loyal to Zhang Ruyi, and the young lady was always the most important person in her heart.

The past was too painful to look back on, and Lan Yi couldn't hold back her tears every time she thought about it. She picked up the small bowl placed on the table, and without any explanation, fed all the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup into her young lady's belly.

"Miss, I can't stay here any longer. I will fly away with you."

Lan Yi gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision. She owes the lady so much that she will never be able to repay it in her lifetime.

"puff……"

Zhang Ruyi almost spit out the lotus seed soup, then twitched the corner of her mouth and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, "You, you, do you still want to stage the drama of abandoning your husband and your son?"

Lan Yi lowered her eyes, of course she couldn't bear to part with her, but the young lady was afraid that she wouldn't be able to live without her, and her uncle was that kind of person.

This is a sad place. The longer you stay, the more sad you will be.

She hoped that Zhang Ruyi could find a place where no one knew him, untie his knot, and slowly heal his wounds.

Skin wounds will scab after bleeding and applying medicine, but heart wounds, how long will it take to heal?

"Lanyi, remember, when you get married, you have to take care of your own family first and distinguish your priorities."

Zhang Ruyi held Lan Yi's hand and said with a serious face, "Ji Qiu and Fat Boy are the most important people to you, followed by me. Do you understand?"

"But……"

Lan Yi wanted to refute, but Zhang Ruyi stopped him. Fortunately, Ji Qiu didn't hear some of his words. Lan Yi's mind was filled with the thoughts of a loyal servant, so he had to stop him.

After a few days of sadness, Zhang Ruyi's mood gradually became clearer. Haitang always said that people have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes.

Everyone around her envied Li Haitang, but they didn't know that her happy days were also based on blood and tears. She also survived those gloomy years.

People are always going to be born, old, sick and die, but Mother Lu is just ahead of schedule. As for her undestined child, she only hopes that she will be born into a good family in the next life.

In the future... there will be children in the future.

Zhang Ruyi told herself that she should face it bravely, be optimistic, and be tolerant to others. However, some people were destined not to let her get what she wanted.

Ji Qiu went to talk to Lu Yuanqing, but Lu Yuanqing ignored him and rushed directly to Li Haitang's house.

"Uncle, you..."

Lan Yi only felt that Lu Yuanqing was a little different. He couldn't tell what the specific difference was, but he just felt it was a bit scary.

"get out."

Lu Yuanqing opened the door curtain and greeted people in a cold tone, which he had never done before.

"Lu Yuanqing, what do you mean?"

Zhang Ruyi sat up and squinted his eyes, "Lan Yi has been busy for several days and can't sleep at night. Pay attention to the attitude of your words."

Even if the couple had something to say, there was no need to use such a tone. Lan Yi was no longer her maid.

"Miss, please talk to my uncle."

Lan Yi didn't say anything, walked out and lingered at the door again, feeling uneasy.

She found Ji Qiu, took Ji Qiu's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Husband, how was your conversation with him?"

Scholars should be more sensible. Lu Yuanqing was raised by a widowed mother, and outsiders can understand the hardships involved. Moreover, after her daughter got married, she got along well with Lu's mother and was not unfilial.

"Let's wait outside."

Ji Qiu didn't explain, but the expression on his face proved that the conversation was not going well.

In fact, Lan Yi didn't understand. He just asked Lu Yuanqing to pay more attention to his own lady who lost her child. Is there a problem with this? The lady is pregnant with his flesh and blood!

The two of them were at the door, not daring to stay away. Inside the house, Zhang Ruyi was trying her best to relax and not think about the scene where her skirt was stained red with blood.

"Husband, I'm sorry, my mother-in-law is gone. I know you are having a hard time, and so am I, and I..."

Zhang Ruyi wanted to open her heart, but was interrupted coldly by Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing sneered, his face trembled, and his tone was very sharp, "Zhang Ruyi, don't you think you are a broom star?"

"you……"

The sudden attack made Zhang Ruyi almost dizzy, and she suddenly thought that she had heard wrong.

"Don't you think you are a bad guy?"

Lu Yuanqing continued to repeat, whoever gets in contact with someone like Zhang Ruyi will be unlucky. Zeng Yan's family was ruined, and when he came to him, he lost his only mother. Now he has nothing. All the efforts in the past were just to honor the ancestors and let his mother live a good life. The hard work was rewarded. What about now?
