Chapter 91: Mother's Only Relic
After walking for a while, I looked up again, and there was a high wall.
It is dark and desolate, the walls are crawling with unknown vines and plants, the wooden door in the middle is locked with huge iron chains, and the bottom door frame is flanked by green moss and various weeds.
Tang Xuan stretched out his hand and slowly put it on the wooden door.
The cold touch made her whole body tremble.
The scenes in the depths of my memory flashed by.
Like a hand stretched out from hell, it wants to pull her down, and keep falling.
In the depths of the brightly colored memory, there flashed the indifferent maidservants, the grandmothers who always looked for her mistakes with a straight face, the three side wives who looked at her like beggars, and the faces of the half-sisters who surrounded her......
and her father, who is always high and unreachable, and even the corners of her clothes have never been touched.
"Shhh ”
Tang Xuan took a breath of cold air, withdrew his hand, and took two steps back.
The stinging pain from the bottom of her heart made her whole face pale.
She clenched her fists tightly and stared at the dilapidated wooden door in front of her.
Tang Xuan thought of Cao Yulian who she saw five days ago.
After so many years, Cao Yulian has maintained it so well, wearing gorgeous clothes and beaded hairpins, and she can't see her old state at all.
But what about her mother?
After the death of dystocia, Tang Zhilin in order to be buried with Cao Yulian in the future, he did not even let the original wife enter the cemetery of the Hou Mansion, but sent someone to take a boat to help the coffin go north, and said that he would be buried in the Yanyang Tang family cemetery in the imperial capital.
As a result, on the way, he encountered an accident, and the ship was wrecked and sank.
Her mother, lying in that coffin, sank forever to the bottom of the river called 'Qi'.
After that, in the nine years in the Hou Mansion, she had no one to rely on, and was bullied in every way, and what is even more tragic is that after Cao Yulian entered the mansion, she either sold or threw away all her mother's things early, and she couldn't find any trace of her mother's existence in this small courtyard.
The only one that has it, there is only one name, the mother's name......
Tang Xuan whispered three words.
A little under his feet, his body rose like a swallow, and he easily crossed the wall and entered inside.
The place where I lived when I was a child was already dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, and as soon as I landed, a long shadow hit me, and Tang Xuan's palm was like electricity, and he grabbed it.
"Hiss. ”
A venomous snake with a triangular head curled up in her hand and struggled.
Tang Xuan flicked his fingers, stunned him, and threw it aside.
She walked carefully through the weeds and came to a dead tree that had long since died.
Squatting down, he took out a Xuanshi broad sword from the mustard seed space, Tang Xuan directly used the broad sword as a shovel, and began to dig at the root of the dead tree.
Soon, the broadsword touched a hard object.
Tang Xuan stretched out his hand and took out a rectangular jade box with the length of a palm from the hole he had dug.
The jade box was still full of dirt, and Tang Xuan first withdrew it with the broad sword to the mustard seed space, and then restored the pit to its original state.
"Fortunately, it's still there, it's my mother's only relic. ”
Tang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the heart she was carrying.
She turned her head to look not far away, the wooden cottage had already been torn down, and only the foundation remained.
Tan Xuan Pavilion was because Tang Rou lived, and here, which belonged to her mother and her, was smoothed out early.
She stood stunned for a moment, then turned around and left the courtyard.
When he returned to Tanxuan Pavilion, He Min was gone, but the guards surrounding Tanxuan Pavilion were more than four times larger, and they all stared at the light curtain emitted by the sword array with solemn faces.
