"It's been more than ten years, Ah Xian, even if your heart is made of stone, I should warm you up, right?"

Mrs. Lin put her hand on her chest, as if in this way she could feel this broken heart, which was still beating.

She felt so uncomfortable that something was churning in her throat.

"Vomit ......"

Mrs. Lin covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but she still tasted the fishy smell in her mouth.

This is, the smell of blood.

She smiled contemptuously, "Xiao Runqing...... I lost. ”

Blood slid from the corners of her mouth, but she didn't bother to wipe it clean.

After so many years, Aunt Lin finally dared to face her thoughts.

Whether it is her father, Xu Chenglin, or even her once favorite son Xiao Yuanan. It seems that their existence is no longer so important. At this moment, she finally understood why her heart was always empty for so many years, because the most important person in her heart had long since left.

Mrs. Lin moved the pillow away a little and saw the bright red wedding dress under the pillow.

Back then, she wore this dress to marry Nan Xiao, and she forgot what mood she used to marry. It's just that she remembers that when she was picked off her hijab, Xiao Runqing's smile was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen.

Elegant, handsome, eye-catching......

That person was her husband.

But now, she has nothing.

Aunt Lin remembered that Xia Ruan had said that Xiao Yuanan's death had something to do with her father, but she actually noticed that there seemed to be something in it. It was never as simple as she thought. Xiao Runqing was reluctant to tell her a lot of things, because even if Xiao Runqing was willing to say it, she couldn't understand her previous feelings.

Over the years, Lu's mother has been by her side for a long time, and she also knows Lu's mother's thoughts about her father. Lu's mother is a stupid woman, and her father has never really liked anyone, including her mother. In my father's eyes, they were just pawns.

Mrs. Lin didn't understand why her father wanted so much family property and silver. For the martial arts family, it is said. No matter how many of these are, they are not as powerful as the martial arts.

Now, she understood.

Her father wanted to rebel.

She didn't know about her ancestors, and her father never mentioned it. It's just that the father sometimes says. Their bloodline doesn't feel inferior. At that time, Mrs. Lin felt. Father is just joking, they are not royal relatives and nobles, how can they not be inferior in blood?

From birth. The pedigree cannot be changed.

Mrs. Lin put away the bloody handkerchief in her hand, poured some water, and washed away the bloody breath in her mouth. She opened a note in her dressing box, slightly stunned.

Xia Ruan told her everything, not hoping that she could change her ways.

What Xia Ruan thought about was nothing more than to make her repent, and she would not be at peace in this life.

I have to say that Xia Ruan understands too well how she got a woman, and what Xia Ruan did did made it painful for her to even breathe.

Mrs. Lin clenched the note in her hand and felt very weak.

She knew that she didn't have much time left, and she didn't have much time to live.

……

After Xia Ruan came out of the courtyard, he only felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling.

After Du Ruo saw Xia Ruan come out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Madam, Steward Xue came just now, saying that the people in the mansion are already waiting in the front hall." ”

Xia Ruan nodded, and walked towards the front yard with Du Ruo.

On the way, Xia Ruan didn't speak, and Du Ruo didn't speak.

Du Ruo didn't know what Xia Ruan was thinking, but Xia Ruan's face was slightly weird.

This kind of weirdness, Du Ruo can't say it.

When he was about to walk to the front hall, Xia Ruan suddenly slowed down and asked Du Ruo: "Du Ruo, do you believe in changing the evil and returning to the right?" ”

"Repentance?" Du Ruo didn't expect Xia Ruan to ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, "Madam, what do you mean?" ”

Xia Ruan thought for a moment before shaking his head, "I hope I made the right bet this time." ”

Du Ruo didn't understand what Xia Ruan meant, but looking at Xia Ruan's expression, Du Ruo didn't know how to comfort him.

In the past few days, Xia Ruan has always asked Chongli some inexplicable questions, and Chongli can't answer many questions, so he has to send someone to investigate. Moreover, the words that Chongli said early this morning seemed to make Xia Ruan very careful.

Du Ruo shook his head, hoping that all this he was thinking was an illusion.

As soon as Xia Ruan walked to the front hall, he saw Steward Xue walking up, "Madam, the old slave has already asked them to wait outside." ”

Xia Ruan nodded and said, "Steward Xue has worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, this is what an old slave should do." Steward Xue heard about Lu's mother from his son's mouth yesterday, and he was particularly shocked that Lu's mother would do this. But at the same time, he was more worried about his position, how many years had it taken him to climb to his current position, and if he was allowed to start anew, he would definitely rather die. So at this time, Steward Xue was in a cold sweat in his palms, for fear that he would say the wrong thing.

Xia Ruan smiled, his kind face was still the same as before, and he couldn't see any anger.

If it had been before, Steward Xue would not have been so nervous. But after serving by Xia Ruan's side for a long time, he realized that Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu were actually very similar in some places, and the two never liked to show their thoughts on the surface.

Xiao Jiu looked handsome and elegant, while Xia Ruan looked kind and beautiful, and people who were not familiar with it would definitely be deceived by their appearance.

After a long period of contact, I know that their thoughts are always the most difficult to figure out.

Steward Xue finally understood why Xiao Jiu insisted on marrying Xia Ruan in the first place, instead of looking at other women who were thousands of times better than Xia Ruan.

Xiao Jiu dared to kill people in front, and Xia Ruan would set fire to him in the back. The two of them will also do a drip-tight job, which makes people find a good half of the flaws.

The old man of the Lin family relied on the old and sold the old, thinking that this young lady would not dare to do anything, but what was the result...... Mrs. Lin is now under house arrest, and Lu's mother is no longer alive.

None of these things were done by Xia Ruan, she didn't do it herself, and these people were gone.

Steward Xue lowered his head a little, and then wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He was a little glad that he stood in line more quickly, but fortunately he believed in this young lady, otherwise he would probably be like the group of old men of the Lin family outside, and he didn't know what would happen to him later.

Xia Ruan didn't notice Steward Xue's expression, but sat on a chair in the main hall.

After seeing Xia Ruan coming, the maids standing in the front hall all knelt on the ground and said in unison, "Slave, the little one has seen Madame." ”

Xia Ruan sat down, but did not call these people to get up.

She looked at the kneeling man and waved her hand at Rokuko after a while.

Liuzi stood up and said to the people around him first, "Madame has asked a servant to find out about Xuanying's matter. Xuanying didn't hang herself, but someone poisoned the spices she used, causing her to lose her mind. Xuanying had seen those people before she died, and Madame had already found out. If these people stand up on their own as soon as possible, then Madame will still open the net. ”

As soon as Liuzi's words fell, the people kneeling on the ground widened their eyes.

Didn't Xuanying hang herself?

But the officials of the government have spoken, even if Xuanying really hanged herself, they don't dare to refute anything.

Especially now, many of them are being grabbed by Xia Ruan.

The kneeling man didn't speak, and no one wanted to have anything to do with the dead Hyunying.

Liuzi took a few steps forward, took out an envelope from his cuff, and then said to the people around him, "This matter, leave it alone for the time being. Let's talk about last night's events, I think everyone must know about last night's events, those people broke the rules, and they must have counted in their hearts. The list of these people is also in my hands, dare to stop the carriage of the Hou Ye? Do you really think that Lord Hou will not send you to the official mansion? ”

There were a few people kneeling below who trembled badly, and those who were a little older did not dare to raise their heads.

They watched Mother Lu die in front of them with their own eyes, and Xiao Jiu never lifted the curtain to look at them from beginning to end. It was only then that they realized that they had thought too highly of themselves, so much so that they ended up in the miserable situation they are now.

"Do you want to say it yourself, or do I want me to pronounce your names? If you are the one who stands up by yourself, you can take the monthly silver and leave the Hou Mansion and go back to the Lin family, if you don't stand up by yourself......" The sixth son paused, put the envelope behind him, and said with a smile, "I will personally send you to the mansion." ”

Steward Xue couldn't help but rub the sweat in his palms on his clothes.

Sent to the government?

It will be better to live than to die.

Now that the Fu Yin in the capital, who dares to offend Xiao Jiu? The people sent by the Hou Mansion are estimated to be able to get in and out.

A single name can make these people never see the light of day again.

The hall was extremely quiet, and some of the people kneeling on the ground were already frightened.

But no one took the initiative to stand up, and they were actually all lucky.

Last night's rain was so heavy, how could Ah He see who was they?

Leave the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion and go back to the Lin family? The current Lin family is not the Lin family of the past, although Xiao Jiu's actions during this period of time were small, but the Lin family was greatly affected. Especially Master Lin, who is still locked up in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, how can he help them.

Therefore, in contrast, they were still willing to continue to stay in the Hou Mansion and continue to serve Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu.

Seeing that these people did not speak, the sixth son took out the envelope behind him again and opened it in front of these people.

"The last time I asked you, the person who killed Xuanying and stopped Hou Ye's carriage, did you really not stand up?" Liuzi's eyes were a little impatient, "This is a chance for you, you don't want it yourself, if the coming day is miserable, don't blame Madam and Hou Ye, don't give you the last leeway."
