Chapter 14 A Big Misunderstanding
Hearing the young lady's concern, Nanny Li said relievedly: "Don't worry, it's okay. Although I can't go to battle anymore, I can move without hindrance. At least it's much better than ordinary people." Seeing that the young lady's face softened, she continued. Said: "At that time, your Uncle Erbing didn't want to hurt the brothers, so he asked the Duke to come back. The Duke didn't worry about you brothers and sisters. He thought it would be good to let him come back, so that he could protect you secretly. That farm was bought by the Duke secretly, and now you are in charge of it, and our daily expenses come from there."

The explanation made sense, and Huihui finally understood, no wonder they were often despised even though they were not valued, but even though she didn't have the eldest sister of the second room and the fourth sister of theirs, she was not even as good as the second room The third young lady who was born as a concubine got a lot of good things, but she can still live a leisurely life. This is where the relationship problem lies.

Thinking of this, it was the first time in Huihui's heart that she had a good impression of her father who had been away for many years, and she couldn't help but smiled and said: "It turned out that Uncle Erbing helped us. When detaining us, Mammy didn't worry too much, and she didn't argue too much, so she had confidence."

Nanny Li glanced at Miss and knew that she still didn't understand, but she didn't ask because of her trust. After all, they don't live in affluence now, and the things they use are very ordinary. Even Miss is the most Most of the pens and inks I like are eliminated by the young master, so this is also limited.

Speaking of which, Miss Daily uses some not-so-good things, it’s really a loss to her, but she can’t change these things, this decision is the decision of the Duke and the Young Master, if it is not for her to say that the daughter Children should be pampered, otherwise they will appear clumsy when they come to other people's homes in the future. This is what the master and the man promised, so that the lady's life is slightly better than the previous few years.

Looking at the young lady's delicate and exquisite face, Mammy Li smiled and said: "Okay, Mammy knows that you are wronged, that you are not as good as other ladies, even the concubine of the second room, but you have to know Mammy also has a reason for doing this, oh, yes, it should be said that the Duke and the young master have a reason for doing this."

Huihui knew a long time ago that most of this matter was her father's idea, but she didn't expect her brother who loves her so much, she didn't realize it was strange, so she hurriedly asked: "Ma'am, don't treat me as an old man anymore." I'm a child, so just say what you have to say, why is there still a brother here."

It was the first time Li Nanny saw the young lady with such an anxious look, thinking that she was a child, no matter how mature she usually looks, she would still be impatient when encountering things, she was a little guilty just now and she didn't tell her about some things earlier Listening to the young miss, the meeting is over now, thanks to myself for not saying it before, the young lady still can't handle things at this age, so she smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, miss, the nanny will talk about it, let's talk about it later, Mammy didn't treat you like a child either."

After hearing Mammy's words, Huihui almost vomited blood. Isn't it obvious that these words are in a tone of coaxing the child!Fortunately, at this moment, she was anxious about what Mammy was going to say next, so she didn't care about Mammy's coaxing words, she nodded and said: "Well, okay, I'm not in a hurry, Mammy can talk about it."

Nanny Li didn't pay attention to the young lady's embarrassing expression, she thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not a particularly incomprehensible thing to say, that is, your second uncle got your father's order to come back to run the farm. Don't let people find out that the title deed of that farm is in your Uncle Erbing's name, so that people in the house won't suspect it, so the income there can also subsidize our place and the young master's place."

Huihui understood these words on the bright side, but some things still didn't make sense, so she asked: "This is understandable, but there are not many people in the house who know Uncle Erbing. If people know That farm belongs to my uncle, isn't it going to be taken away, after all, Uncle Er Bing can be regarded as a member of the Duke's Mansion."

When Nanny Li heard this, she knew that the young lady didn't understand her family's situation very well, so she explained with a smile: "It's okay, your second uncle has already been released from slavery, when I married him, Miss, oh, Even your mother helped me get rid of my citizenship, so in calculation, we are not slaves of the Duke’s Mansion, just like Brother Yi Fu who teaches martial arts to the young master is not a slave."

Huihui can still understand this situation. In ancient times, if the chief attendant of a military general's family went to the battlefield with his master and made military exploits or saved his master in a crisis, he could get promoted by eliminating his slave status. Uncle He Yifu is like this. The person who has taken off his slave status can naturally own his own property, but I don't know how big the farm is?But it will appear to be too much. If it is too much, it will be suspicious.

Probably guessing the young lady's doubts, Nanny Li explained with a smile: "Don't worry, young lady, the Duke is not a careless person. He has already thought that if the farm he buys is too large, it will be impossible to rely on your second uncle's ability. If you can afford it, you bought a small Zhuangzi at the beginning, so that it can subsidize us and not cause suspicion.”

Hearing Mammy say that Grandpa Guo is not careless, Hui Hui immediately wanted to refute. If her father is not careless, who else in the world is careless?I left for so many years, leaving their brothers and sisters struggling to survive in the tiger-like Duke's Mansion. If it weren't for the protection of the nanny and Uncle Yifu, their lives would have been gone long ago.

No, in fact, the original Shi Huixin had already been murdered. If she hadn't been vigilant in the past three years, it's really hard to say that the life she picked up is still alive or not?Thinking of this, she curled her lips unconsciously, but because the younger generation shouldn't say anything wrong with the elders, Huihui had no choice but to swallow the questioning she wanted to utter, and said indifferently: "That's good, but don't tire Uncle Erbing for us. He and Nanny were murdered."

Nanny Li really felt bitter seeing the young lady like this, because of the reasons that Grandpa Guo can't tell now, in fact, she doesn't know the reason too well, but she knows that Grandpa treats his wife and their children very well, He must have had his own reasons for doing so.

Thinking of the love the Duke had for his wife back then, Nanny Li felt that some things could still be argued for him, otherwise the child would have a knot in his heart. The Duke's heart is actually of no benefit to the young lady's future marriage.

Thinking of this, Nanny Li settled down, took Huihui's hand, and sighed softly: "Mommy knows you know everything, and you must have a lot of questions and grievances in your heart, but some things are really too big. I can't say more, when I can't, the Duke or the young master can tell you, but in fact, I only know a few things about many things."

Frightened by Nanny Li's embarrassing words, Huihui suddenly felt a little bad, thinking that her father was a general on the mercenary side, so could it be that he wanted to rebel, so he had no time to take care of the children in the family?Or is it that her father asked them to be hostages in Beijing, and he already has a family in the border town?Anyway, she and her brother will sacrifice in the future, so there is no need to take care of it?Huihui was possessed by the thought for a moment, her hands and feet were cold all of a sudden, she looked at Mammy in a daze and couldn't speak.

Nanny Li was worried that these words would frighten the young lady, but before she said anything particularly disturbing, the young lady turned pale with fright, she was startled, and hurriedly took Huihui's hand and rubbed her hands together. Rubbing, said anxiously: "How do you say that, your little hands are cold, Miss! You can't scare Mammy, those words are not a bad thing, it's just the Duke's love and protection, you can't get it wrong."

At this time, Huihui's mind was already confused, and she didn't care about etiquette. She thought that if things went as she thought, let alone what would happen to her brothers and sisters. Taking a few breaths, she regained her composure, looked at Nanny steadfastly, and said earnestly: "Mommy, this is not the time to hide, I know you have many things to hide from me, I am a little bit concerned about this. I don't blame you, there must be a reason that you can't say, that's why you are like this."

Seeing that the young lady is not only serious, but also using honorific words to herself, Nanny Li panicked for a moment. She really didn't know what was wrong with what she said just now. The son became serious, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Miss, you don't have to be so polite with Mama, Mama is worried like you, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, Mama will tell you everything, but don't scare Mama ma."

Seeing that Mammy was really frightened, Huihui planned to take the opportunity to scare her again, and said something that she couldn't say, so she said it naturally, but seeing Mammy's pale face, she still felt distressed. Unconsciously, his tone slowed down, and he said quietly: "Oh, I didn't want to ask you at first. Those of you who are close to me are alive, for this, you can honestly answer me, is my father plotting something wrong?"

Although Huihui lowered her voice when she said these words, she still frightened Nanny Li. When she heard these words, she was like a thunderclap, her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly threw away Huihui He didn’t care about explaining anything, he looked along the windows and doors, listened carefully, and made sure there was no one outside, then he patted his chest and walked back to the table feeling weak , sat down.

Huihui had stood up when Mammy jumped up a long time ago, and felt a little guilty when she saw Mammy like this, but now seeing her sitting limply and panting, she hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over to herself. He also sat next to Mammy, apologetically reaching out to help Mammy calm down.

Nanny Li calmed down, took a sip of tea, and felt better, but she was anxious, and didn't care to rest anymore, so she quickly grabbed Huihui's hand to help her back, and looked at it seriously. Huihui, who was stupefied, lowered her voice and said: "Miss, I will never dare to say these words in the future. If this is heard by others, you will be decapitated. You are not too young. You have to weigh the severity."
