Chapter 4

Su Shiyou woke up and saw Kou Tong looking at her with a smile: "Mother, you are hungry, come, I will feed you porridge!"

Seeing Kou Tong, whose face was black and gray, like a cat, Su didn't know whether to feel relieved or sour, and nodded while suppressing tears.

Seeing Su Shi staring at him, Kou Tong quickly wiped his face with his hands, found dust on his hands, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm so stupid, mother can't laugh at me!"

After feeding Su Shi, Kou Tong thoughtfully wiped the corners of her mouth and washed her face, then let Su Shi continue to lie down, and covered Su Shi's abdomen with a thin quilt.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mom, you rest first, I'll go have some porridge, and I'll come whenever I go. If you have something to do, call me loudly, I can hear you!"

Seeing Su's nodding, Kou Tong went out.

As soon as Kou Tong went out, Su's tears fell. Her daughter has grown up!
Kou Tong had a meal, washed his face, went to see Mrs. Su, and then boiled hot water to take a bath for herself. She ran all morning, and her body smelled so bad, it was really uncomfortable.

After she finished washing her clothes, she talked with Su's for a while, and it was noon again in a blink of an eye.

She still cooked yam porridge!

After dinner, Su's energy was much better than in the morning, she couldn't help asking: "Tong Niang, why is this porridge different from what I usually eat, what did you add to it?"

"It's yam!" Kou Tong replied, "I dug some yams from the hillside at the west end of the town and put them inside."

Su Shi was taken aback: "Can yam make porridge?"

"Yeah!" Kou Tong nodded and said, "Yam can cure your diarrhea, so I use it to make porridge!"

After hearing this, Su said thoughtfully: "No wonder, I feel much better after eating the porridge in the morning, and my stomach doesn't hurt so much. It just feels warm and I don't have diarrhea anymore!"

"That's right! Yam is an excellent medicine for diarrhea!"

"But...." Su asked puzzledly: "Yam can cure diarrhea, how did you know, Tong Niang?"

Kou Tong's heart skipped a beat!
She hurriedly raised her head to look at Mrs. Su, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at a large box placed on Mrs. Su's bedside table. She calmed down and said, "Father left many medical books in the past. I accidentally saw them some time ago, so I wrote them down." Yes! Today I saw my mother was so seriously ill, so I went to seek advice from Dr. Ke. Unexpectedly, Dr. Ke not only refused to see the doctor, but also said that my mother was pretending to be sick. In a hurry, I remembered that it was said in the book that yam can cure diarrhea, so I just wanted to try it, but I didn’t expect it to be really effective!”

"Did Dr. Ke make things difficult for you?" Mrs. Su was worried when she heard that Kou Tong went to find Dr. Ke, so she didn't care about the problem just now.

"No." Kou Tong shook his head: "I don't have any money, and Dr. Ke didn't want to go out to see the doctor, so I came back!"

"Oh!" Su Shi felt relieved, and then said: "Then you didn't say anything to offend Dr. Ke!"

"No!" Kou Tong whispered!
"En!" Su's heart was really relieved at this moment!
That night, Kou Tong was lying on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep!

She went back to the year when she was 12 years old, she has not returned to Nanjing, she has not returned to her family, and she has not married Zheng Shixiu, but things are developing in this direction!

She has come back to life again, is she still going to go down the old road?

Do you want to go back to the side courtyard of the Zheng family?

Do not!
Thinking of her mother-in-law's embarrassment, thinking of Zheng Lingwei's vicious words, thinking of Zheng Shixiu marrying her cousin Kou Yan, Kou Tong just felt so stuffy in his heart!
No, don't, I don't want to repeat that life!
Living like that once is enough!

In the darkness, Kou Tong clenched his fists!
Immediately she sat up. She remembered that she was 12 years old this year, and she had a serious illness that year. Her already poor life became even more difficult because of her illness. Later, her mother also fell ill.

When my mother was seriously ill, I once thought that I would not survive, so I wrote a letter to my family in Nanjing and asked my family in Nanjing to send someone to pick me up.

But there is no waiting for an answer!Fortunately, my mother's illness has recovered, so this matter will be let alone.However, a year and a half later, the Nanjing Kou family finally wrote a letter asking their mother to take Kou Tong back!

Kou Tong's fate has been on the road of no return step by step since then!
Now my mother's illness is not as serious as in the previous life, so I won't write letters to my family.I don't have to go down the original route anymore!
Kou Tong took a deep breath and felt that her chest was full of strength. She had already changed her mother's condition through her own efforts, so does it mean that she can change her fate, and she can protect herself and her mother?

yes!Kou Tong strengthened her confidence, she can do it!She can!

In this life, the fate of her Kou Tong can only be controlled by herself, not the relatives of the Kou family, not the Zheng family, not anyone else, her fate is decided by her Kou Tong!
A few days later, Su's body gradually recovered.

In order to make a living, the mother and daughter helped the front neighbor, Landlord Liu, to wash clothes. While doing the laundry, Kou Tong kept thinking about a question: How did she and her mother come to Fanshui Town?
She remembered that she spent her childhood in the capital.

She remembered that her father was an imperial physician, and she also remembered that when she returned to her family in Nanjing at the age of 13, she was ridiculed by her cousins. They always said that Kou Tong's father was a criminal and a disgrace to the Kou family!

"Mother!" Kou Tong grabbed one side of the clothes, Su Shi grabbed the other side of the clothes, and the two worked together to wring the clothes dry.

"You're tired!" Su raised her head and said to Kou Tong with a smile, "You should rest first, these mothers can do it alone!"

"I'm not tired!" Kou Tong gritted his teeth and asked bravely, "Why did we come to Fanshui Town? How did father die?"

Su Shi was startled when she heard this, and almost dropped the clothes in her hands on the ground. She was stunned for a while and said, "Help me hang these clothes up first!"

Mother looks like this, there is clearly something hidden!
"Mother," Kou Tong said anxiously: "Mother, you can't always treat me like a child, and you can't always keep telling me like this! Even if you don't tell me, people will ask me why I don't have a father, where is my father?" Go? How do you want me to answer others!"

"Why, did someone say gossip in front of you?"

Kou Tong didn't expect Su Shi to ask such a question, so he simply lowered his head and didn't speak.

Kou Tong's silence made Su think that she guessed right!She sighed, and her voice was much softer: "You help mother hang up the clothes first, and mother will tell you later, okay?"

Kou Tong nodded!
The mother and daughter sat opposite each other, Su looked at Kou Tong for a long time before saying: "I don't know what's going on, there was no sign of anything, one night, your father suddenly asked me to pack up and take you out of the capital! I I was very anxious and didn't know what happened, but your father told me that something big would happen that night.

I was very anxious when I heard that, so naturally I didn't want to leave, but your father told me that I still need to take care of you.

He said that if nothing happened, he would pick us up soon, and if something happened to him, let us hide quietly!He also said that if the Xiao family were still dignitaries in the court, they would never return to the capital.If one day the Xiao family falls, we can go back.

Although I didn't know what happened at that time, I also understood that it was an extremely important thing.So I obeyed your father's instructions and left the capital overnight. The carriage had just driven out of the capital for a few days, and on the way I heard that your father was ordered to die for murdering Concubine Xiao Gui!

At that time, my heart was broken and I was in so much pain that I just wanted to follow your father.But at that time, you were still young, only eight years old, and you still needed your mother's care, so your mother survived! "

"Oh!" It turned out to be like this!Father……

"Then what happened next?" Kou Tong asked.

Su smiled bitterly and said, "Later, I heard people say that besides your father, the Holy Majesty's concubine, Concubine Mu, was also involved! I heard that Concubine Mu was thrown into limbo!"

After hearing this, Kou Tong couldn't help but fell into deep thought...

What her mother said reminded her of something.

She remembers very clearly that she and her mother returned to Nanjing a year later. At that time, she learned from the eldest aunt of the fourth uncle's grandmother's house that the Xiao family was confiscated for treason, and all men over 15 years old were beheaded. All the women were dispatched to the frontier, and Concubine Xiao Gui hanged herself in the Chonghua Palace after hearing the news.

The Xiao family, which had been proud for hundreds of years, fell to this point overnight!

And the Mu family also became a hot upstart overnight. Concubine Mu changed from being a favorite concubine to an abandoned concubine in the cold palace, and then from an abandoned concubine in the cold palace to the unparalleled concubine Mu Gui. De Bolan.Especially the women, they are fond of talking about how beautiful and beautiful Concubine Mu Gui is, how talented and beautiful she is.

Even Concubine Mu's elder brother was granted the title of Marquis of Cheng En!
Is there something wrong with this?Kou Tong couldn't help but think of it!

Father's medical skills are good, he has always had a good reputation in Xinglin, and he has no personal enmity with Concubine Xiao at that time, how could he poison and murder Concubine Xiao?

In addition, how could my father think of arranging for his mother to leave with him in advance?It's all too coincidental!Does the father have something to hide?
In the previous life, she only knew that her father lost his life because of something wrong, but she didn't know the ins and outs, and she didn't know what happened to her father!All she knew was that her father was a prisoner and had done something wrong, so he was punished.

When she was ridiculed by her cousins, when her mother-in-law disliked her, and Zheng Lingwei taunted her, she even complained about why her father did something wrong, which caused her to be laughed at and unable to hold her head up.

Now it seems that she is the one who is really ridiculous!She actually complained about her loving father because of those people!

She wants to know how her father died!She needs to figure it out!

She remembered that her mother's bedside cabinet was full of books, all of which were left by her father.

She believes that there must be traces to follow!

Thinking of this, Kou Tong suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she remembered a very important thing!
