Chapter 171
"You want to know about the old lady?"
Aunt Mei looked at Chu Zhixin and sighed helplessly: "I'm afraid Miss Xinxin will be disappointed. I don't know the old lady very well, and I only have a half-way relationship..."
"Half-faced relationship?"
"yes!"
Aunt Mei fell into memories and answered 1511: "I have been taught by my family since I was a child. The Mei family has served the Shi family all my life, so when the old lady found me, she ordered me to apply for the job of the housekeeper of the Chu family to take care of the pregnant woman at that time.
As my wife, and to take care of you who is about to be born, I unconditionally obeyed her arrangements."
"The old man is very mysterious. He has never appeared in public. He also wore a veil when he saw me, so I said he only had half a face..."
Even after decades, Aunt Mei still remembers the scene when she met the old lady.
The old lady's temperament is very unique and cannot be described simply as "beautiful", so the veil cannot block her unique personal charm at all.
"When I came to Chu's house, the old lady had already left. As for where she went, the master, husband and wife were all tight-lipped and no one ever mentioned it..."
Chu Zhixin said dejectedly: "Yeah, grandpa and the others never told me about grandma, and there are no photos of grandma at home, but I know that they miss grandma very much... I have always wanted to know what happened to grandma back then.
What happened made her have to leave her closest family members."
I originally hoped to get some useful information from Aunt Mei.
Now it seems that Aunt Mei may not have learned as much as she has!
From various sources, she pieced together information that the Shi family, where grandma Shi Linlan lives, is the oldest and most mysterious family in the distant North City.
This family was once very glorious, but due to some special reasons, it has now disappeared in the years and no one dares to mention it.
"If Miss Xinxin really wants to know the old lady, I'm afraid she has to go to Beicheng herself."
When Aunt Mei said this, she suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Chu Zhixin: "Miss Xinxin, have you found that quilt? I vaguely heard from my wife that this quilt was specially given by the old lady before she left.
It was sewn for you who were not yet born, and the pattern on it was also embroidered by the old lady herself, so there may be some clues."
"Found it, but something went wrong."
Chu Zhixin said with a frown.
When she mentioned the hug, she became so angry that she wanted to rush to Lin Yirou immediately and slap her twice.
Chu Zhixin slowly took out the quilt from her pocket and handed it to Aunt Mei who looked expectant.
"I didn't expect to find it. Miss Xinxin is really capable!"
Aunt Mei was overjoyed and couldn't wait to spread out the quilt. After seeing the runes on it clearly, she was so frightened that she almost threw it out.
"Are the runes on this painted with blood? Who is the person who cast the curse? It's really too poisonous!"
"It doesn't matter who did it, I don't believe it anyway."
At first I was not afraid, I just felt uncomfortable.
The most important thing now is to restore the quilt to its original state.
Soon, Aunt Mei cleaned the blood spell on the quilt, and the patterns embroidered by the old lady on it became clear.
Chu Zhixin quickly took out the piece of jade pendant dug out from the back garden, put the two together to compare, and was shocked.
The two things are indeed printed with the same pattern of the Phoenix and the Flower of the Other Side. The lines are connected and form a map, which seems to guide the beginning of the heart to where to go...
"Looking at the type of map, it seems to be in Beicheng. Is it possible that the old lady left it here intentionally for you to find her?"
Aunt Mei's guess was also Chu Zhixin's idea.
