Chapter 652: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?
Just as they were about to reach Qingxue Pavilion, the third master Tong Yan suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the servant beside him wearing sunglasses, and said solemnly, "Remember, go tell the housekeeper to prepare all the account books. When the young lady recovers, all the property in this mansion will be handed over to her."
Hearing this, Sunglasses was stunned. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Master, is it just about our family? What about the other family affairs? Do they also need to be handed over to the young lady to take care of?"
Third Master Tong Yan shook his head slightly and explained, "I'm not the clan leader. I'm just temporarily managing the affairs of our hometown for Big Brother. Wait until the young lady wakes up, and then ask her what she thinks."
At this time, another servant named Mo Yu couldn't help but stretch his neck and asked his master curiously, "Third Master, you actually plan to hand over all your things. Are you really willing to do so? Don't you think it's a pity?"
Tong Yan sighed deeply and replied helplessly, "From now on, Master, I just want to be an idle fish. Oh, no, in the words of the Sixth Miss, I want to be someone who enjoys a leisurely life."
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Mo Yu nodded in agreement, scratching his head as he said with a smile, "Sixth Miss always comes up with some strange and bizarre new words. It's really interesting. Are all the people in the capital so humorous?"
Gingxing, who had been trotting behind them, interrupted breathlessly and asked, "Master, will the people from the capital come back to worship their ancestors this year?"
Sunglasses shook his head, "Young Master, Second Young Master, we'll take the imperial examination next year. We probably won't come back together to worship our ancestors until the results are announced."
...
A Cai opened her eyes when the little maid Ginkgo ran out. She was integrating her memories.
The girl she possessed this time was named Tong Yao, and her nickname was Acai. This was the name her mother asked Master Wufa for at Xiangguo Temple when she was pregnant with her.
The Tong family is a family of scholars. The old man Tong Xin and the old lady Gao live with the eldest master Tong Lei in the residence of the Minister of Rites in the capital.
Tong Lei, the eldest of the Tong family, was the Minister of Rites. He and his wife, Yao, had three sons and three daughters: the sixteen-year-old eldest son Tong Jinnian, the fifteen-year-old second son Tong Jinyan, the fourteen-year-old eldest daughter Tong Qi, the thirteen-year-old second daughter Tong Lin, the twelve-year-old twin fourth son Tong Jinxing, and the fifth daughter Tong Shan.
Tong Miao, the second master of the Tong family, is currently living in the Hanlin Academy. He and his wife, Youshi, have one son and three daughters: the 15-year-old third daughter Tong Wei, the 13-year-old fourth daughter Tong Jin, the 12-year-old third young master Tong Jinlun, and the 12-year-old sixth daughter Tong Lang.
The third young master of the Tong family, Tong Yan (originally named Tong Yan), and his wife, Gu (deceased), had a daughter, the ten-year-old ninth daughter, Tong Yao. He also had two concubines. Concubine Dong gave birth to a concubine daughter, the twelve-year-old seventh daughter, Tong Jing; concubine Li gave birth to a son and a daughter, the twelve-year-old fourth young master, Tong Jinhao, and the eleven-year-old concubine daughter, the eighth daughter, Tong Yan.
The Tong family's male grandsons are all named with respect, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate. Legitimate granddaughters are named with the character "王" next to them, while illegitimate granddaughters have no requirements and can be named at will.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's really sad!
Her father is unique in the Tong family and actually has a concubine.
Back then, the original owner's mother was frail and sickly, and it was difficult for her to give birth to the original owner.
But after giving birth to the child, her health deteriorated and she passed away in just five or six years.
well……"
As Ah Cai spoke, she gently scratched her chin with her hand, as if she was thinking about something.
"Speaking of the original owner's mother, she actually had a miserable life.
Because of the existence of the concubine, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
But she happened to be an introvert, and she would just swallow her anger, and ended up suffocating herself to death.
Look at the original owner's father again, his ears are as soft as cotton, he is simply a fence-sitter who changes sides with the wind!
He just goes whichever way the wind blows, without any opinion of his own." Ah Cai couldn't help but shake her head.
"But this time, something serious happened. Concubine Dong was so bold as to steal the original wife's dowry.
He even secretly made a key to steal, but as luck would have it, he was caught red-handed.
So, the original owner's father was so angry that he sold Concubine Dong out.
And the seventh young lady was also driven to the farm, saying that she would be married off immediately when she reached the age of marriage, so as to avoid causing trouble at home.
While recalling these things, Ah Cai sorted out the memories in her mind in an orderly manner.
"Oh my god, there's something even more shocking!
The reason why the original owner chose to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills was so that he could live a quiet life in the future and no longer be disturbed by those troubles.
But... where did this sleeping pill come from?"
Ah Cai's heart was full of doubts, and she couldn't help but frown her willow-like brows, as if she wanted to gather all her thoughts together.
She began to carefully re-sort every fragment and detail of the past.
As time passed, the air around seemed to become heavier.
At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in Acai's eyes, as dazzling as a meteor across the night sky.
She clapped her hands suddenly and exclaimed, "Oh! I remember now! It turns out that someone from the capital brought this medicine back to the old house last year when they came back to worship their ancestors. And the person who gave her this medicine was none other than her sixth sister, Tong Lang!"
As her memory gradually became clearer, Acai continued to recall the scene.
At that time, Tong Lang not only gave her this magical sleeping pill, but also personally taught her how to take it.
Thinking of this, A Cai couldn't help but sigh that this Sixth Miss was really not afraid of death.
Immediately afterwards, Acai was excited as if he had discovered a new world.
She muttered to herself, "This Sixth Miss must be a time traveler.
Otherwise, how come he always comes up with some strange but interesting new words?
Moreover, look at her, she is only twelve years old, but she can make novel things like soap and lip balm and sell them for money, saving up a lot of pocket money for herself.
Tsk tsk tsk, that's really amazing!"
As she spoke, Ah Cai gently scratched her pointed chin with her index finger, a cunning glint in her eyes:
"In my opinion, she either has a hidden space or possesses an omnipotent system. Otherwise, where did this rare sleeping pill come from?
Hehe, when this plane encounters a severe drought in the future, it wouldn't be too much to ask if you could lend me her golden finger and let me use it, right?"
"Is it possible that she hasn't been noticed by the ancients of this dimension? She's not the heroine, especially since her uncle is an official from the Ministry of Rites. They all live in the Minister of Rites' residence, so they must be under surveillance."
Ah Cai fell back onto the bed. "Looking at it this way, there's really nothing wrong with the original owner living alone in the old house."
