The next morning, Xiaolian got up early and stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking forward to it. The person sent by the second aunt has not arrived for a long time.

Ji Tianyou saw that the wall clock in the house had just struck six times, and she couldn't help but shout at Xiaolian: "It's too early, did you agree on this time?" ”

Xiaolian nodded convincingly, said yes, ignored Ji Tianyou, and continued to look at her feet.

Not long after, "Lingling" and "Lingling" heard the sound of the carriage coming from afar, Xiaolian walked over quickly, and sure enough, she saw the person who came to deliver the letter yesterday.

The person who drove the car stopped at the gate of Ji Tianyou's courtyard, and the person in the carriage reached out and dragged Xiaolian and hurried away.

Ji Tianyou looked at the back of the carriage leaving, a little worried, but Xiaolian made it clear that the second aunt only allowed her to go by herself, so Ji Tianyou had to give up. Anyway, this matter has already been separated by Jiang Zi, even if the second aunt is playing any tricks, she doesn't dare to be too blatant, as long as she helps Xiaolian find her younger brother, even if she secretly wants Xiaolian to suffer something, she doesn't care if she wants to come.

Ji Tianyou turned back to the house and walked the cub.

Until Xiaolian returned, the door of the courtyard was still closed. Xiaolian's eyes were a little red, she sat at the door for a long time before opening the courtyard door and walking in, if you look closely, you will find that Xiaolian at this time is different from usual, there is no longer a carefree smile on her face, even if she laughs, there is a sense of heaviness.

Ji Tianyou came back with the cub and asked her brother how he was when he entered the door.

"I saw it, but it didn't look like the little brother I remembered." Xiaolian shook the flour on her hand, raised her head and quickly lowered it.

"Oh? Is it because I haven't seen you for too long, or?" asked Ji Tianyou casually, she untied the rope of the tooth cub, and the tooth cub jumped happily in the yard.

"It's because I haven't seen you in a long time." Xiaolian replied immediately, blocking all the possibilities behind.

Ji Tianyou glanced up at her and felt that Xiaolian was a little strange, maybe her younger brother had affected her mood, so she didn't think much about it and went into the house.

During the meal, the two sat at the table in silence.

Xiaolian raised her head several times, but stopped talking.

"Xiaolian, do you have anything on your mind?" Ji Tianyou put down the bowl and finally couldn't help but ask her.

"No, no, I just saw my brother, and I felt a little lost." Xiaolian hurriedly waved her hand, trying her best to hide her weirdness.

"Your brother is him"

It turned out that after Xiaolian's younger brother ran out of Lingyun Temple, he begged all the way to Liuzhen, and just when Liulifang was recruiting, he squeezed in to do a running hall, and later became a thug in the workshop after several trainings. The hardships of his youth brewed in his body with fierceness, creating a younger brother that Xiaolian doesn't know now.

When Xiaolian saw him with joy, he just looked at her contemptuously, and was about to leave. If it weren't for the third aunt's people who dragged him and forced him to shout "sister", I'm afraid I would never want to see myself again in this life.

Growing up is a kind of grinding, people who come out of suffering often take extreme paths, Xiaolian's younger brother is like this, if he doesn't stop the precipice, I'm afraid he will be a heinous person in the future.

Xiaolian wept as she spoke, as an older sister, she felt sad and hopeless about her powerlessness.

Ji Tianyou couldn't think of any words of comfort, so he got up alone and went to find the third aunt.

At this time, the people who came back from the spring outing came back in an endless stream, and the third aunt was the second batch of people who came back.

As if she had expected Ji Tianyou to come, the third aunt left the door open and sat in the house with tea arranged.

Ji Tianyou didn't talk to her politely, and said straight to the point: "About Brother Xiaolian, the conditions are up to you, I want him to leave Liulifang." ”

The third aunt poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ji Tianyou, pursed her lips and smiled: "What is my sister anxious about, even if I let him leave Liulifang, he will go elsewhere, it is better to be here, let people watch him, try to let him do something less bloody, what does my sister think?" ”

What the third aunt said made sense, Ji Tianyou nodded, put the teacup down gently, she didn't know for a while whether to say thank you to the third aunt or continue to trade.

The third aunt spoke first, "A child has been exposed to such a desperate world when he is young, then all his future life will live in this shadow, if you want to save him, it is better to let him be reborn." ”

"Reborn?" Ji Tianyou frowned.

The third aunt giggled too, "You also think it's ridiculous, don't you, so this child is hopeless." ”

The third aunt's shallow smile made Ji Tianyou particularly harsh to hear, and she said with a cold face: "My sister came to ask my sister for help sincerely, but my sister is so perfunctory, it's okay not to help." ”

She got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by the third aunt, "Just help, our relationship hasn't reached that point, so it's better to trade more reliably, what do you say?" ”

Ji Tianyou listened to the words of the third aunt, but she was relieved, she sat back at the tea table and motioned for the third aunt to continue.

The third aunt made a promise that for a month period, no matter what method is used, Xiaolian will definitely return a prodigal son to his younger brother, on the condition that he has two gold bars.

This condition was not harsh for Ji Tianyou, but she still pretended to bargain and hesitated, after all, two gold bars were not a small amount.

Ji Tianyou didn't say a word about this deal, she thought about seeing Xiaolian's surprised expression in a month.

Xiaolian has always been preoccupied, and Ji Tianyouquan is worried about her brother's affairs and doesn't care too much.

Until one day, the third aunt led someone to break into their courtyard and found an account book from under Ji Tianyou's bed, which was densely recorded with the property secretly deducted from the firm.

Ji Tianyou stroked his chest, still glad, fortunately he didn't find her secret passage and Jiang Yihan's notepad.

The stolen goods were obtained, Ji Tianyou was brought to Jiang Zili, all the aunts were there, and Jiang Yiruo was still avoiding her.

Jiang Zili said in a cold voice: "Ji Tianyou, do you have anything else to say?" The tone was stiff, and it didn't have the usual feelings at all.

Ji Tianyou was straightforward: "I just found an account book, what can it say, it is obvious that someone deliberately planted it." She looked at the third aunt, knowing that she had framed herself, but she didn't understand why.

"Do you still want to quibble?" Jiang Zili snorted coldly, "Bring a witness." ”

Li Zhe took a person and knelt in front of everyone, the man raised his head, and the aunt was too surprised to cry out: "Xiao Liu? How could it be you? ”

This Xiao Liu is the third aunt's internal response in the firm, Jiang Zili handed over a book of the account book to the third aunt to deal with, and the third aunt took advantage of Xiaolian's younger brother to threaten Xiaolian to hide the account book under Ji Tianyou's bed.

The whole planting is justified, the people are all there, and Ji Tianyou is speechless.

Xiao Liu insisted on Ji Tianyou, coupled with the third aunt's support, of course, the more lively this kind of thing, the better, the aunts expressed their positions one after another, and even Lu Ying'er did not defend Ji Tianyou.

"Don't you admit it yet?" Jiang Zili glared angrily.

"Never admit it." At this time, Ji Tianyou inexplicably remembered Zhao Yansu, remembering that she had also said this, at this time she had suffered this experience, and only then did she know how terrible people's words are, obviously you haven't done it, but it is ironclad evidence that you have to do it.

"There are all the human and material evidence, do you still want to deny it?" The third aunt was too preemptive, and then turned to Jiang Zi and left, "Second master, it seems that the fifth aunt doesn't cry when she doesn't see the coffin, and begs the second master to ask for family law." ”

Jiang Zili's eyes finally changed, the situation of moving the family law was not in the itinerary they discussed, and the third aunt said this by herself, thinking that it was to take revenge and give Jiang Zili a dismissal.

"Upper family law." Without waiting for Jiang Zi to leave the mouth to respond, the aunt opened her mouth first, on weekdays, she saw that Ji Tianyou was also a kind and upright girl, who knew that she was such a restless person behind her back, and she dared to fight the idea of a business, which was the most intolerable thing for her as the most qualified heir in the future.

The housekeeper Ah Fu looked at the second master and saw that he had no objection, so he quietly went out to move the law.

According to the regulations of the government, those who covet the property of the government will be punished according to the amount of property, but those who have infiltrated the business will be expelled from the government together, regardless of whether they live or die.

Ah Fu cleaned up the account book, a total of 789 oceans, and fined 50 boards according to the regulations.

Jiang Zili frowned tightly, glanced at the third aunt without a trace, the third aunt was too understanding, and said to the eldest aunt too cleverly: "Eldest sister, although I arrested the person, but on the matter, the fifth sister, this child is also a hard-working person, since it is a foregone conclusion to drive out of the house, playing the board is also to make her have a long memory, fifty boards, I am afraid it will cost her a small life, how about the twenty boards?" ”

Jiang Zili glared at her fiercely, what he wanted was not to move Ji Tianyou, but he couldn't open his mouth at this time, so he could only close his eyes and let the third aunt toss too much.

The second aunt nodded and said, "I think the twenty boards are enough, what do you say, eldest sister?" ”

The eldest aunt looked at the fourth aunt, Lu Ying'er nodded without a trace, and the eldest aunt made up her mind and said, "Then there are twenty boards." ”

These twenty boards hit Ji Tianyou's body, and he didn't feel the pain of dying, but it was a kind of humiliation. She gritted her teeth and clenched her tears, once again experiencing the coldness of people's hearts. She suddenly understood why Xiaolian was so worried these days, and she wanted to stop talking, she wanted to harm herself, and it was extremely hard. Lu Ying'er never said a word for herself, how could she not see that this was a well-arranged deception? She didn't mind the position she would replace, preferring to let her disappear forever. Jiang Yiruo's evasion made Ji Tianyou still feel a little lucky, fortunately she didn't come, otherwise there would be more disappointment.

As for Jiang Zili, Ji Tianyou didn't want to think about it, the gentleness of the past was still in front of him, and today he is a stranger who is as cold as an ice sculpture.

"It's good, it's good." When the 20th board stopped, Ji Tianyou got up stubbornly and limped back, she didn't look behind her, because there was no nostalgia at this time.

Jiang Zili couldn't help but want to step forward to help him, but the third aunt quietly reached out and grabbed him, "How depressed she is now, how grateful you will be when you help her." ”

Ji Tianyou limped back, and the people on the road pointed sideways, not caring at all at this moment, as if after throwing away his dignity, the whole world suddenly opened up.

This place didn't belong to me in the first place, and it's a relief to leave now, no worries, the huge world, and I'm left alone, a lot of fate.

Ji Tianyou smiled bitterly and struggled forward, and when he was about to reach the door, he saw a black shadow coming from a distance, but it was a tooth cub.

"Tooth Cub" Ji Tianyou collapsed at this moment, her tears wet the hair of the Tooth Cub, it was her last attachment in this world at the moment, but she knew that these people would never allow themselves to take it away.

Ji Tianyou pushed the door in, Xiaolian was waiting for her in the courtyard, and when she saw her come in, she knelt down in front of her.

"Sister, I don't dare to ask you to forgive me, but I really have no choice" Xiaolian's head slammed on the hard ground, and she bled after a few strokes.

Ji Tianyou ignored her, walked into the house and packed up his things.

Does she hate Xiaolian? Don't hate. But there is no forgiveness. At the age of nineteen, she still did not learn to forgive betrayal.

A few pieces of underwear, a hundred and ten pieces of ocean, a not too big suitcase, but it can't be filled.

There was still a "Legend of the West Chamber" borrowed from Lu Ying'er at the head of the bed, and I only read half of it, Ji Tianyou walked over to touch it, smiled bitterly, and called Xiaolian who was kneeling in the courtyard and said: "After I leave, you return this book to the fourth aunt, and you say that you read it wrong." ”

Ji Tianyou was about to leave, suddenly remembered her gold, struggled, knew that he couldn't take them away, but he didn't expect them to survive, he was young, and he could survive everywhere.

The tooth cub kept an eye on her suitcase and followed her all the way to the door, where Ji Tianyou ordered Xiaolian to hold the rope and lock her in the kennel.

The door was closed, but he couldn't lock the heart-rending howl of the tooth cub, Ji Tianyou stood at the door, wanting to cry but stubbornly not letting himself shed a single tear.

She struggled to restrain her emotions, and blood broke out from her biting lip.

From the gate of the courtyard to the gate of the house, how difficult the road is, Ji Tianyou realized for the first time how many memories of how many people this ordinary road can carry, laughter and tears, nervousness and pride, entanglement and happiness closed this door, and everything was gone.

Ji Tianyou didn't even look back, and just left resolutely.

Little did she know, of course, that there was a man sitting on a hidden wall, looking at her departing back, smiling with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, just keep going, don't look back." Jiang Yiruo let the tears invade, and he didn't wipe them.

At this moment, I finally don't owe you, and the next time we meet, I can look at you calmly.

Ji Tianyou dragged the suitcase and walked forward, going around and around and coming to the gate of Lan Ling's courtyard, she knocked on the door, and Bai Jie walked out of it.

This is the first time since Ji Tianyou found out about her strange illness last time, and he brought a suitcase.

"Sister Bai, I have nowhere to go, can you take me in for one night?" Ji Tianyou raised his flushed face and said pitifully.

Bai Jie hesitated a little, she turned her head to look at the courtyard, and a man walked out of it and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

But it was Shi Qingnan who I saw a few days ago.

Shi Qingnan invited her in and asked Bai Jie to arrange the room.

Ji Tianyou sat in front of the hanging statue of Lan Ling, bowed his head and held the cup, and did not speak.

Shi Qingnan sat opposite her and asked, "You only live for one night, so do you have a place to go tomorrow?" ”

Ji Tianyou shook his head, thought about it again, and said, "I want to go home." ”

Shi Qingnan didn't say anything more, just let her have a good rest, and then went back to the room.

The room that Bai Jie arranged for Ji Tianyou was the small black room that she had only been to once, and she lit the lamp and went in, only to find that this was actually a study, with the fragrance of wood and ink, which made Ji Tianyou feel a kind of indescribable excitement, she touched the hardcover books on the bookshelf, and forgot her temporary depression.
