In late autumn and September, the entire capital is shrouded in cold rain.

Outside the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, the Praetorian Guards of the brigade held torches in their hands and lined up in strict formation. The generals who took the lead were all in armor and arrogant, holding the gold medal in one hand and pressing the sword in the other, and the momentum of the people surrounded the Hou Mansion, ready to break into the door at any time.

The two majestic bronze lions at the door have been squatting for a long time, with mottled rain marks on their bodies, from the place where the copper lion squatted to the door of the house with a black background and gold plaque, several columns of torches are burning, illuminating the rainy autumn night into daylight. And looking to the left and right, every two steps, someone bent his bow and arrows, along the vermilion wall, and disappeared into the depths of the night.

Within the Zhu Wall, the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion had already become a mess.

Xie Xuan stood by the window with an eight-month-old belly, hearing the noise of people outside, and the maids and maids running around in a panic, exchanging news in a dying struggle. The cold rain was blown in and fell on the face, and it was cold to the bones.

The maid Fangzhou was standing beside her, and her face was also gloomy.

"Madame, shall you sit down for a while? Maybe it's for something else. Fang Zhou tried to persuade her to leave the window.

"For something else?" Xie Xuan sneered, "I just copied our Hengguo Gong Xie Mansion before, and now it's the turn of this Jingning Hou Mansion, can it still be a good thing?" Even the ministers of Conglong were beheaded twice, and this stupid emperor was more ruthless than anyone else - no, he was not stupid. ”

used to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of King Yue, and he didn't say a word when he was teased, but it was just to confuse others, but now that he has ascended the throne, his hideous face is fully revealed. The sharp and poisonous claws came out, and the thunder wrist shocked the government and the opposition, and it was very different from the previous straw bale stupid prince.

Cleaning up the old party, cleaning up the people who had trampled on him, and quickly turning his face to clean up the heroes, cooking rabbits and dead dogs, and hiding all birds to the extreme, all of which are eye-opening.

The copied Hengguo Mansion of his mother's family was the sin created by the stupid second uncle, but what about this Jingning Marquis Mansion?

From Han Sui, the Marquis of Jingning, to Han Yu, the son of the family, and then to Xie Xuan's husband Han Jue, the father and son all guarded the Yanming Pass, guarding the bitter cold all year round, loyally defending the family and the country. Xie Xuan couldn't figure out why this butcher's knife was raised, since the Marquis of Jingning had never participated in the battle for imperial power, nor had he trampled on half of his points.

Isn't that stupid emperor afraid that the Han family's father and son will support troops to rebel outside Yanming Pass?

Fang Zhou sighed beside him, and couldn't help crying, "Such a chaos, Madame, this child is almost full-term, I ......really don't know" Suddenly I heard a frightened shout from afar, and a mother-in-law shouted loudly, "They rushed in!" Rush in! ”

The courtyard was in chaos for a while, and Fang Zhou subconsciously stopped in front of Xie Xuan, "Madame, hiding, right?" ”

"Where can you hide? I can't find anyone, and I can't say if I was burned by a fire. Xie Xuan smiled miserably, his hand on his bulging abdomen, and suddenly felt sour.

There are sets of mahogany tables, chairs and cabinets in the room, and there are also treasures on the Duobao Pavilion, which is obviously a rich place, but now it looks like it is just empty. She reached for her neckline again and took off the jade jue that was tied with red silk threads.

The superb mutton fat jade is polished to be round and transparent, and the delicate and warm jade is engraved with four words - eternal knot and concentric.

This was a gift from the old marquis when Xie Xuan and Han Jue were married. She has been wearing jade jue since she was five years old, and on the night of her wedding, Han Jue personally changed the silk thread on her head and solemnly put it on her. What did he say at the time? Let her wait in the house with peace of mind, and when he returns with great achievements and glory, he will accompany her to plant flowers and cook wine.

But she waited for him for four years, stayed alone in the empty room for more than a thousand nights, endured the difficulties of her mother-in-law alone, and overcame all kinds of discomfort after pregnancy.

It is the collapse of Xie Han's second mansion, and it is the torch that is bright outside the mansion.

It was the soldier who had broken into the courtyard with torches and swords.

Xie Xuan was helped into the rain by Fang Zhou and the two maids, and the soldiers behind him were fierce, completely ignoring her round belly, snatching the umbrella from Fang Zhou's hand, and shouting, "Hurry up, go quickly!" Everybody tied up with ropes! ”

There was no umbrella, no cloak, and the cold rain soaked through the body, making the ground slippery. Before Xie Xuan reached the courtyard gate, he felt a strong discomfort coming, his feet slipped, and he fell heavily on the blue brick paved road.

The jade jue in his hand fell and scattered into several petals.

There was a sharp pain in her abdomen, and the only thought he left her was probably gone.

Xie Xuan's consciousness was a little blurred, watching Fang Zhou squatting in panic and calling her, her face could not be seen clearly through the rain curtain, only the sharp pain in her abdomen came clearly. The torches were reflected in the night rain, and the generals with all the armor broke in, vaguely like Han Jue in the past.

Han Jue is still the brother of Yujie with a warm smile in her memory, but she is no longer the well-behaved and ignorant young daughter of the Xie family. These four years, for people. wife, but separated from her husband, the days of gathering are short, love turns into longing, and then turns into resentment; is a wife, but she is secretly troubled by her mother-in-law and ambushed everywhere, except for her sister-in-law, who is almost helpless.

Her mother didn't want her when she was born, her father didn't have too deep feelings for her, and the only thing she could count on in this world was Han Jue. But death was imminent, but he was still thousands of miles away.

Xie Xuan's gaze swept towards the shattered Jade Jue. If you can't live and die together, what's the use of being united forever? If there is only a tricky mother-in-law and no considerate husband in the marriage, how can the two surnames be good?

Before falling asleep, she couldn't help but think, I wonder if Han Jue would be sad when she heard the news that she died with her child? Will you regret it?

But she wouldn't know that.

If there is an afterlife, may we not meet strangers.

If there is an afterlife, I will no longer be a well-behaved and self-conscious girl to please others, but in the end I will end up full of bitter grievances.

How she longs to be able to live willfully and wantonly.

*

Xie Xuan didn't expect that she would go back to when she was a child.

Although he was lying on the hospital bed dizzily, looking at his sister and twin brother who were with him, and looking at the bright summer sunshine outside the window, Xie Xuan couldn't help but want to smile.

The qiē in the house is all familiar, the Chinese tent is falling, the beast is spitting incense, on the small table at the head of the bed, a bunch of cloves folded from Fangzhou is mixed with fine tassel white flowers, faintly exuding a fragrant fragrance. She is only a ten-year-old girl, she was not deceived by her stepmother to go to the Taoist temple to stay away from her family, her sister is still the daughter of the Xie family, and her younger brother will lie on her bedside smartly, with a pair of black and white eyes, not the muddy and stupid appearance of her previous life.

The smile on the corner of Xie Xuan's lips couldn't be hidden, and her sister Xie Jun watched it for a long time, and finally reprimanded her with a straight face, "If you smirk like this again, let your father see it, and you will be stupid by blisters." It seemed that he was really worried that Xie Xuan would be stupid, so he reached out to test the temperature between her foreheads, and said to himself, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever." ”

"Xie Yue hid her bad intentions and pushed me into the water, if I become stupid, wouldn't I take advantage of her intentions? Hum. ”

Xie Jun was stunned when he heard this, "You say...... Did the fifth sister push you? ”

Xie Xuan was stunned by this reaction, and then understood - when she was young, she didn't have her mother's love, and she didn't like her grandmother, so she was extremely well-behaved and obedient, always trying to please people, and she was also very jealous of that stepmother in Su Rili. So that day, Xie Yue pushed her into the water, and after being warned in advance by her stepmother, she didn't dare to resist and hid the truth.

It's no wonder that Xie Jun was surprised, two days ago, Xie Xuan bit to death and said that he accidentally fell into the water, but now he easily changed his mouth when he woke up, can he not be surprised?

The three sisters and brothers were here with big eyes and small eyes, and Xie Zhen walked in outside, "Did Xuan Xuan fall into the water, how is it?" He asked anxiously from the outside, and when he entered the house, he saw Xie Xuan lying on the couch and strode over.

Xie Xuan immediately changed into a sad look after illness.

She had some resentment towards her father in her previous life, and now when she sees him, she will not be as happy as she is when she sees her sister and younger brother, especially after seeing Xie Yue's mother and daughter who came in with her, she can't laugh anymore.

"Daddy......" Xie Xuan pursed her lips, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

Xie Zhen still loved her very much at this time, so he sat down in the seat that Xie Jun gave up, and asked, "The doctor said that you fell into the water and suffered from the cold, are you better now?" How careless! ”

Xie Xuan sat up aggrieved and wanted to cry, "My head hurts badly, and my nose is uncomfortable." Daddy, it's not me who was careless. She glanced at Xie Yue and her stepmother Luo, and shrank back a little fearfully.

Xie Zhen didn't care about this detail, "Didn't you say that you fell into the water carelessly?" ”

"That's what Madame taught me to say." Xie Xuan cautiously lowered his head and peeked at Luo, "Daddy didn't come back, I ...... Don't dare to tell the truth. ”

One sentence is called the whole house.

Luo didn't expect Xie Xuan to say this, he was surprised for a while, glanced at Xie Xuan, and hurriedly said, "How can this kid say that." Fortunately, he held a medicine bottle in his hand, put it in front of Xie Xuan in front of Xie Xuan, and said with concern: "Isn't it burned?" Let me see. But he avoided Xie Xuan's gaze and glared at Xie Xuan fiercely.

If Xie Xuan was still afraid of her now, it would really be in vain, and he said: "When we went to Xie Chi that day, many people were there, and the fifth sister pushed me into the water, and they all saw it. ”

"Really?" Xie Jin's face sank, and he turned his head to look at Xie Yue.

Xie Yue relied on the presence of his mother and immediately denied it, "You are talking nonsense! Why am I pushing you into the water? ”

"How do I know?" Xie Xuan's eyes widened, "You opened your mouth to sarcastically mock me at the time, and it wasn't that others saw it, I respected you as a sister and didn't dare to speak hard, but you still beat me......" She pursed her mouth, becoming more and more aggrieved.

These are not nonsense, Xie Yue is only two months older than Xie Xuan, because of Luo's support, every time she bullied Xie Xuan, she let Luo suppress it, and even Xie Jun didn't let her know. Xie Xuan wanted to be a good daughter to please the elders, and she always endured it, but over time, Xie Yue became more unscrupulous when she was bullied, and she didn't worry that Xie Xuan would tell the truth.

But now Xie Xuan seems to be a different person, and he dares to say it in front of Xie Xuan without fear of death? So what's the matter!

Xie Yue didn't think about it, so he rushed forward to cover Xie Xuan's mouth, and said, "Why did I beat you!" ”

"Hit me like that." With a crisp sound, Xie Xuan's slap slapped Xie Yue's face.
