"You..." The person who came was a rough woman in her forties or fifties who was dressed simply. The moment Song Yunpan turned her head, she seemed to be stunned, and tears instantly poured out of her eyes.

Her lips trembled a few times and she said in a trembling voice, "Girl, girl..."

"Peilan?" Song Yunpanzheng didn't understand, but Song Yunwen on the side said in surprise, "Are you Aunt Peilan?"

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Aunt Peilan, this is Pan'er, the daughter of my second uncle and second aunt!"

Song Yunpan looked at the woman in front of him whom his cousin called "Pei Lan" in astonishment.

The eldest girl next to my mother... must be in her early thirties this year.

But, she looks more than forty years old...

Peilan stared at Song Yunpan in a daze. Tears had already blurred her vision, but she was reluctant to blink, as if this once-familiar girl would disappear from her in the blink of an eye...

She staggered forward, as if she wanted to reach out and touch Song Yunpan, but when the dry and rough hand was about to touch her, she timidly took it back, "Like..." The tears seemed to be broken.

The beads fell down like threads. She couldn't help but nod, "It's so similar..."

As she spoke, she knelt down in front of Song Yunpan with a bang, "My slave Peilan has seen the young lady..."

Song Yunpan also recovered from her shock. She quickly stretched out her hand to help Peilan up, "Get up... get up and talk..."

This is the person around her mother——

Just like the white sandalwood next to her, the Liuxiang next to her second aunt, the hibiscus next to her grandmother... she must have been fresh and delicate in the past, no less beautiful than the ordinary "vice lady" who has a daughter in a boudoir, but now she is old and downcast...

…

Song Yunpan was so sad that he couldn't help but shed tears, "Pei Lan, where have you been all these years? Why, how could you be like this..."

………………………………

"Grandma..." Seeing that Song Yunpan had been staring at the fire without moving since just now, the woman on the stove couldn't help but remind her in a low voice, "If you burn it any longer, the soup will be burned dry..."

"Ah...oh, oh!" Only then did Song Yunpan react, and subconsciously reached for the casserole on the fire.

"grandmother!"

"ah!"

………………………………

"You are so awesome..." Su Heng scolded Song Yunpan angrily while applying the medicine, "It's not like we don't have a cook at home, so why do you have to do it yourself... Don't you know how to order others to do it?"

Song Yunpan was like a child who had done something wrong, just lowering his head and saying nothing.

Su Heng knew that she burned her hand because she was distracted by something on her mind, but this girl was like a sawed-off gourd and refused to tell him anything... She felt distressed and angry at the same time, deliberately trying to scare her.

He said, "If you get a scar, I wonder where you will go to cry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt warm liquid falling on the back of his hand, and then, one drop, two drops, and tears fell.

Su Heng was originally just trying to be quick with his words. Seeing that he made people cry, he regretted it again and quickly coaxed in a low voice, "It won't leave any scars. We brought the ointment that is used, so it will definitely not leave any scars."

, I was teasing you just now...don't cry, don't cry..."

Song Yunpan's tears fell even more fiercely, and he was out of breath from crying, "Second cousin, you..." The rest of the words were muffled in his throat because he cried so hard.

Su Heng didn't hear clearly, he just accepted her fate and held her in his arms, saying in a low voice, "Okay, okay... It's all my fault. It's my bad attitude. I'll change it. I'll change my job at the head office in the future... Don't cry."

, stop crying..."

But no matter how much he tried to persuade her, Song Yunpan couldn't hold back her tears. She cried until the end and fell asleep exhausted in his arms.

Su Heng asked Bai Tan to speak with a livid face.

"Tell me everything that happened when my second wife went out today in detail."

Bai Tan hurriedly responded with a yes, lowered his head and explained, "I will accompany my grandma to visit the graves of my uncle and his wife today. I don't want to meet my uncle there..." Then he told Song Yunpan and Song Yunwen who were at the cemetery.

The conversation was repeated.

Su Heng looked at her coldly, "Is that all?"

Bai Tan's eyebrows jumped twice, and before she could reply, Su Heng said coldly, "You know your grandma's temperament better than I do. Something must have happened to her like this today -" He paused

, meaning pointed out, "The master can do whatever he wants, but the people who serve him must not be ignorant."

Bai Tan told him that he felt a shiver in his heart, and then thought of his master's abnormal behavior... Although Song Yun hoped to tell her early in the morning not to tell Su Heng about this, Bai Tan hesitated again and again, and finally said, "Actually...

...Actually, in addition to my uncle, we met someone else at the cemetery today." Then he honestly explained to several people what happened when they met Pei Lan.

Su Heng frowned when she heard this, "You actually met Pei Lan?! What did she say to the second grandma?"

Bai Tan shook her head, "My slave was standing far away and didn't hear..." She paused, "It's just that after they spoke, the second mistress seemed to have lost her soul. She kept crying silently on the way back. My slave

No matter how much I ask, she refuses to tell me... After we got home, we heard that I had come back, and because I was afraid that you would be worried, grandma put her makeup back on... You will know what happened next."

Su Heng thought for a moment, "Where does Pei Lan live?"

Bai Tan shook her head in shame again, "I only know that she was bought by a hunter. Later, her husband fell ill and died, and the child also died a few years ago... She had no family and no mouth, and she was always thinking about her.

I had my aunt and my second grandma, so I tried my best to return to Yaozhou while making money by cooking banquets for others. But when I came back, I found out that my aunt and my second grandma had already left, and my second grandma had also been picked up by the third master.

Back to Wanping..."

"When my uncle met her in the stream earlier, she had just finished helping people prepare a banquet... As for where she settled, I don't know..."

The girl's condition was really bad at that time... Her face was so pale that she seemed to faint at any time. How could she care about anything else?

Su Heng said, "Does Song Yunwen know?"

Bai Tan said, "As soon as my uncle saw that grandma and Pei Lan had something to say, he left quickly and didn't know."

Su Heng frowned and thought for a while, then accidentally caught a glimpse of the shortbread on the table, "Did you pass by a stall selling beef shortbread when you came back today?"

Bai Tan was stunned and said blankly, "Grandma was sad at that time, and the servants kept trying to persuade her, but they didn't pay attention... It's just that the carriage goes back and forth on the same road, and I didn't expect to see such a stall when I went there.

…”

Song Yunpan is so silly that he can't even lie, but today he can casually make up a beef shortbread...

Su Heng raised his voice and said, "Qingfeng."

The breeze outside the house heard the sound, walked in quickly, and saluted, "Master, can you call me?"

Su Heng nodded, "Send someone to go out and ask around. There are several stalls selling beef cakes in the city... This food is not a specialty of Yaozhou, and there won't be many people who make it... If Pei Lan settles in the city, 80%

There is such a stall nearby." He turned to Bai Tan again, "If you see her again, can you recognize her?"

Bai Tan nodded quickly, "This slave recognizes me."
