In H City, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is famous for silk, in an antique mansion, Shen Xiaoman sat on a rattan chair in the middle of the water pavilion, holding bread and quietly feeding the fish shuttling in groups under the lotus pond-

This season, the lotus flowers have withered, the lotus leaves have withered, and the small red and white carp have become the only eye-catching scenery in this lotus pond.

This is the tenth day she has left Lei Zijia......

"Miss Table, Miss Table......"

The maid Sister-in-law Liu called several times, and Shen Xiaoman came back to his senses and nodded and smiled at Sister-in-law Liu, "Hey, is Sister-in-law Liu looking for me?"

In the Jiang family, Shen Xiaoman is Miss Cousin, but she has never been able to reflect this title, and she often ignores the calls of her subordinates.

"The old man and the eldest young master are back and are waiting for you in the hall. ”

"Oh, okay!"

On the day Shen Xiaoman came, it was the Jiang family's housekeeper who received her, and Jiang Haitang was talking about business abroad and had not returned for a long time, and he was not back until today.

Shen Xiaoman was a little uneasy in his heart, his impression of his biological mother Jiang Xiaoxue was only limited to the photo he saw in the email last time, and his uncle Jiang Haitang had never seen it, so he didn't know what he looked like.

After entering the hall, I saw an old man about fifty years old sitting on the mahogany bench in the center, wearing a dark purple silk Tang suit, with gray hair, and the outline of his face was somewhat similar to Jiang Xiaoxue. The old man was concentrating on drinking tea, and on his left hand stood a slender young man, with a white face, delicate eyebrows, single eyelid eyes that were slightly narrow, black hair all combed to the back of his head, a pair of gold-wire glasses on his face, exuding a bookish temperament, handsome with a kind of calmness, unlike the old man, he was wearing orthodox trousers, a plaid vest and a white shirt. Seeing Shen Xiaoman coming in, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a smile, "You are cousin Xiaoman, right?"

Shen Xiaoman smiled slightly awkwardly and nodded.

At this time, Jiang Haitang raised his head, his eyes fell on Shen Xiaoman's face, and he was stunned, this little face is really similar to his dead sister, probably not because of this age, he thought it was his sister Jiang Xiaoxue who went home.

"You must be your cousin...... Ahem, besides, you're your uncle!" Shen Xiaoman greeted politely.

After staying in the Jiang family for so many days, the Jiang family was thin, and she still worked hard to write it down.

The corners of Jiang Haitang's eyes were faintly moist, "Come, Xiaokui, let my uncle take a good look at you!"

"Hmm!" Shen Xiaoman obediently walked in front of Jiang Haitang, Jiang Haitang stared at her for a long time, and then sighed deeply, "It looks exactly the same as your mother when she was a child, if she is still alive, she will be very happy to see you like this." ”

Shen Xiaoman was silent......

After a long time, Jiang Haitang wiped the corners of his eyes, "It's all because my uncle is not good, I have been looking for nearly twenty years, but I haven't been able to find your whereabouts." You must have suffered a lot outside all these years, it's all your uncle's fault!"

H City is too far away from City A, after Jiang Xiaoxue married the Ouyang family, she didn't go back to her parents' house often, and occasionally just called home to say hello, and she didn't say a word about the resentment of the Ouyang family until her body was recovered. The Ouyang family notified Jiang Haitang, and Jiang Haitang knew that his sister was not doing well in Ouyang's house. When he rushed over, Jiang Xiaoxue had been soaked in the sea for a long time because the corpse had been soaked in the sea, and when he saw her, the corpse was already highly decomposed and he couldn't distinguish the eyebrows...... At that time, Jiang Haitang almost fainted on the spot, a pretty sister, married to the Ouyang family, turned into a rotten corpse in less than a year, how can he not be broken, but unfortunately, Ouyang Wenbin disappeared back then, Master Ouyang was seriously ill, the Ouyang family was facing collapse, and the child in Jiang Xiaoxue's belly was not heard from at all, and he couldn't find a way to seek justice for his sister. (.)

Although more than 20 years have passed, that scene still makes Jiang Haitang feel painful.

Now when I see Shen Xiaoman, I am even more in tears.

"Uncle, I didn't suffer so much! Hehe, really, you don't know, I used to be very fat and fat. My adoptive father, he treated me very well and treated me like his own. ”

"Hmm...... Regarding your life experience, I only recently inquired, saying that you were originally adopted by a man surnamed Huo, and later sent to the Lei family to be a chess piece, and by chance you were adopted by a cook surnamed Shen. Thinking about your young age, after suffering so many twists and turns, my uncle is very sad! I think that my Jiang family, which is also one of the largest families in Jiangnan, has been bullied by others like this at a certain time, and your mother died in an unknown way, and my uncle must seek justice for her. In the future, you will treat your uncle's family as your own home, and your uncle will be the most solid support in your life. Jiang Haitang said bitterly.

It can be said that now Shen Xiaoman's only blood relative is Jiang Haitang.

"Thank you, uncle, my brother Shen Chenxing ......"

"Don't worry about this, the Shen family raised you, and it can be regarded as a favor to my Jiang family. Therefore, the son of the Shen family, we will naturally raise them for them, and he can also live in our Jiang family in the future. ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Retouching...... Take Xiaoman for a walk! Let her get acquainted with this place as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, Dad, Xiaoman come with me!" Jiang Xiuyan smiled and stretched out his arm, Shen Xiaoman hesitated for a moment and didn't put his hand in the crook of his arm.

Jiang Xiuyan didn't care, just smiled, "Cousin, don't be restrained in the future, just treat this place as your home." ”

Shen Xiaoman smiled, "I'm wondering, is it you who has been sending me anonymous emails before?"

"I didn't do it myself, but I arranged for someone to do it! We went to great lengths to find you, but because you were very close to that kid from the Lei family, I was afraid that you would be brainwashed by that kid from the Lei family and refused to recognize us, so I was very careful. But I didn't expect that I was still exploited by a kid surnamed Lei......"

"Ah, what did you take advantage of? Lei Zijia doesn't know at all!"

"He knows, once I sent you an email to ask you to meet in the Ouyang family's old mansion, at that time, it was Lei Zijia who went to the appointment, since then, I didn't dare to contact you for a while. ”

"What? I didn't receive your email to make an appointment? Are you mistaken? Lei Zijia didn't say a word about it!"

Jiang Xiuyan smiled slightly, reached out and took out his mobile phone, brought up a picture, and handed it to Shen Xiaoman, "Look at it, this is the ...... taken in the Ouyang family's old mansion."

Shen Xiaoman took the phone in disbelief and looked at it carefully.

The picture is at night, and the lights on the side of the road are not very sufficient, so it was shot in night vision mode, and a tall long-haired girl is standing at the mouth of the alley, this girl looks so familiar, oh, where have you seen this?

After a while, Shen Xiaoman recognized that the "girl" turned out to be Lei Zijia...... That's right, it's him, he is so beautiful and outstanding in women's clothing, more beautiful and charming than other girls......

"This ......"

"Yes, we thought it was you at first, but in the end he hit my man, and I knew that he was a man, and I didn't dare to send emails to your mailbox again......"

Shen Xiaoman touched his head and was stunned for a long time before he understood. Lei Zijia is a pretty powerful hacker, he must have hacked her mobile phone, and then quietly came to the appointment.

Why did Lei Zijia hide it from her!!

Jiang Xiuyi understood the doubts in Shen Xiaoman's heart, "My sister-in-law's death is the responsibility of their Lei family, and my Jiang family and the Lei family have a common enmity." Because of this, Lei Zijia has been hiding from you, God knows what he wants to do with you. If he knew that you had recovered your memory, would he kill someone?"

The smile on Shen Xiaoman's face froze, would Lei Zijia really kill her? Probably not!

At the end of the corridor, Jiang Xiuyan stopped, "This is my sister-in-law's room, which has been locked for so many years, and only on my sister-in-law's festival will the maid come and clean it up, and put on two pillars of incense." ”

Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly walked over and opened the lock on the door.

Jiang Xiuyan pushed open the door, and a smell of wood came to his face.

The room still maintains its original appearance, the bed is still the same kind of quaint wood carved bed as before, and most of the furniture is mahogany, and there is a charm of everyone's boudoir in the classics.

There is a calligraphy calligraphy on the wall, the word "Xiuwai Huizhong" is written very beautifully, at first glance it is written by a delicate woman, and there is an embroidery of a peacock opening the screen on the left wall......

On the incense case, there is a black and white posthumous photo, which is not made of photos, but painted, and the woman in the painting is really a very elegant oriental woman with a beautiful foreign wisdom, and her eyebrows are gentle and petty.

"Xiaoman, come here, there is a photo album here...... In the past, these photos were originally placed in my father's bedroom, but after my sister-in-law died, my father would be sad when he saw my sister-in-law's photos. So, I put them all away and put them in my sister-in-law's room. ”

Jiang Xiuyan was holding an old-fashioned photo album in his hand, Shen Xiaoman sat down, flipped through the album one by one. Those are the photos of Jiang Xiaoxue when she was young, from childhood to girlhood, this gentle Jiangnan woman likes to wear robes very much, likes to walk in the rain with oil umbrella paper, most of the photos are so warm as jade, with a clear smile on her face, and a jade bracelet on her left wrist.

After seeing all the traces of Jiang Xiaoxue's life, Shen Xiaoman also had a new understanding of his biological mother in his heart, and the image of his mother instantly became vivid......

She still struggled with why Jiang Xiaoxue didn't raise her, and she couldn't imagine that Jiang Xiaoxue was already dead before she was born! She didn't even have time to look at her, what a sad story this was! A faint pain also slowly brewed in her heart, why did the people of the Lei family treat her like this? What a kind person her mother is, she will definitely not provoke anyone, why did she end up in such a sad end? Dissect the body before death, sink into the sea after death, what a kind of vicious heart can this be! Shen Xiaoman's heart suddenly felt a chill.
