Chapter 15: Coercion

Xie Roujia threw a stone into the lake, and the koi fish that had been gathered together immediately dispersed, like a flower blooming.

She couldn't help but laugh, then she smiled again, and looked up at the fading golden light on the lake.

She turned around and walked inside.

Beneath your feet is a gravel path, and it's a little uncomfortable to walk on it in clogs.

After running past the group of girls, she turned into the garden, which was a little strange.

How can it feel strange?

She is eleven years old this year, she has lived here since she was a child, and this garden is a place where she will come to play almost every day, according to the memory of the age of five, the memory of this garden has been seven years, what can make the memory of these seven years fade?

In the dream, since she was twelve years old, she rarely went out, until she left Peng Shui and died in Zhenbei Wangfu, which was ten years.

Ten years, offsetting the memory of seven years of childhood.

Xie Roujia looked up at the front of her, a rockery blocked the way, she couldn't help but look at it for a moment, when she was a child, the picture of the two little girls drilling under the rockery was blurry, and the laughter of children seemed to be far and near.

Is the ten years in the dream really just a dream?

Xie Roujia raised her feet and stepped onto the rockery, standing on the rockery and looking at the garden that seemed to be boundless.

She didn't want to wait for her sister because she didn't know how to tell her, and she didn't want to be questioned by her sister when she got home, let alone in front of her parents.

Her parents and sister were heartbroken for the nightmare, she was already well, and she couldn't talk about dreams anymore.

But is it really a dream?

Xie Roujia sat down and pulled the grass on the rockery.

If it was a dream, she didn't want the things in the dream to come true, such as her sister going to the Yujiang River, such as Shao Mingqing becoming a frequent visitor to their Xie family, and finally becoming the family's mage.

That must not be allowed to happen.

I can only be sorry for Shao Mingqing, and I don't need to make other explanations, so I insist that I don't like him and never apologize to him.

It doesn't matter if the sisters think she's vexatious.

Having made up her mind, Xie Roujia felt relaxed physically and mentally, threw down the grass in her hand and clapped her hands, and before she was about to stand up, she heard the noise in the garden.

What's wrong?

"Jiajia ......"

"Second Miss...."

Chaotic shouts came from all directions.

What about calling me?

Xie Roujia tiptoed to see that it was getting late, and there were almost no people in sight, and many people suddenly poured in from the garden.

"Second Miss! Second Miss! ”

Jiangling's shouts were exceptionally loud.

Xie Roujia also saw her and hurriedly raised her hand.

"I'm here." She shouted.

The sound swayed with the summer evening breeze, mingling with the shouts that spread out in the garden.

"Over there." Jiang Ling shouted, reaching out and pointing over.

Everyone looked up, the last light on the horizon faded, the dark night spread, and the little girl standing on the rockery was like a prey by the mouth of a behemoth monster.

The little girl waved her hand and staggered.

One of the people gathered around let out a scream.

"What is she going to do?" Xie Roushu shouted, reaching out to cover her eyes.

The other little girls were also pale with fright, and the girls were also shocked.

"Second Miss!" Jiang Ling shouted and rushed towards the rockery.

"Jiajia!" Mrs. Xie also took a few steps forward, and her voice was raised with a bit of sternness, "Come down!" ”

Mother is angry!

Blame yourself for not coming home from school.

Xie Roujia hurriedly turned around and went down the rockery, the night was cloudy, the road of the rockery was narrow and craggy, she walked cautiously, and when she reached the middle of the mountain, Jiang Ling took it.

"Second Miss, Second Miss." She shouted anxiously and grabbed Xie Roujia's hand.

The two of them cautiously descended the rockery, and Mrs. Xie and the people were already standing at the foot of the mountain.

"Mother...," Xie Roujia shouted with a bit of shame.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was grabbed by Mrs. Xie and raised her hand to hit her body twice.

The girls around were suddenly in chaos.

"Big lady." Everyone shouted.

Xie Rouhui also called out to her mother anxiously, rushed over and hugged Mrs. Xie's arm.

"Mother, don't beat my sister, don't beat my sister, it's all my fault." She cried.

Xie Yao also came over and knelt down.

"Auntie, it's all our fault." She said hurriedly.

"Auntie, it's all my fault." Xie Rouqing also hurriedly knelt down and said.

Seeing this, Xie Roushu, who was watching the excitement on the side, had no choice but to pout and reluctantly follow over and kneel.

"Big lady, if you have anything to say, say it well."

"Yes, eldest lady, the second young lady is only cured."

The two older servants also knelt down and exhorted.

The left and right sides were blocked from front to back, and Mrs. Xie's raised hand couldn't fight anymore.

"Do you know what's wrong?" She shouted, looking at Xie Roujia who was still holding it in her hand.

Xie Roujia was already stunned by this change.

What's wrong? How, how is it wrong? Wrong, what made the mother so angry?

"You've got a lot of skills, haven't you? It's just a matter of crying and making trouble, and now you still learn such a trick? Who are you scaring about? Mrs. Xie said angrily, shaking Xie Roujia's arm vigorously.

Xie Roujia stumbled and almost fell.

Xie Rouhui cried and called out to her mother again, and rushed over and hugged Xie Roujia.

"It's all my fault, mother, it's not my sister's business, I forced her to apologize to my cousin." She cried.

"Shouldn't I apologize?" Mrs. Xie reached out to grab Xie Roujia again.

Xie Rouhui stood in the way.

"Even if you don't want to apologize, can't you just say it? What do you want to do when you run into the garden and stand on this rockery? Is jumping off self-harm? Who are you going to blackmail? Mrs. Xie shouted, speaking of this, she was even more angry, reached out and snatched Xie Roujia from behind Xie Rouhui, raised her hand again and hit it hard, "Are you wrong?" Are you wrong? ”

"Oh, sister-in-law!"

"Don't hit the kids! If you have something to say, it's good to say! ”

It was noisy here, and there were more voices shouting outside, and a group of servant women hugged the two women who came over in a hurry, unlike those children and servant women who only dared to kneel and persuade, the two women did not hesitate to grab Mrs. Xie left and right, and one also took Xie Roujia in his arms to protect him.

"Sister-in-law, Jiajia's illness has just recovered, what are you doing!"

Xie Roujia looked up and saw that this was a woman about thirty years old, obviously a few years older than her mother.

She called her mother sister-in-law.

Of course, sometimes older people are not necessarily older, and some people are older than their seniors, but in fact, according to common sense, this woman is indeed older than her mother regardless of age or generation.

Not only this woman, Xie Roujia looked at the woman who was holding her mother.

"You damn girl, why are you doing so much? Just know to get into trouble! The woman was also older than her mother, and at this time she was grabbing Xie Roushu with her hand and shaking it, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she was indignant.

This one is Xie Rouqing's mother, the second wife, Shao Shi, and the other is Xie Rouqing's mother, the third lady, Song.

The second uncle and the third uncle are actually older than their father and mother, but because their mother is the eldest lady and will be a big house after they get married, they can only be regarded as uncles if they are originally uncles.

Why were the second and third aunts also alarmed?

What the hell is going on? Didn't you just get out of school and didn't come home, and ran to the garden alone to think about things? Why was the entire Xie family alarmed?

Until she stood in the hall, Xie Roujia was still a little dizzy.

The lights were lit in the room, not only the second and third aunts, but even the grandmother also came, the sitting elders, the standing cousins, and after a few back and forth of reprimands and sobbing, Xie Roujia finally understood.

It turned out that everyone thought that she refused to apologize to Shao Mingqing and then ran out of the school to deliberately hide in the garden and lose her temper.

What a misunderstanding!

"Aren't you still playing with your temper?" Mrs. Xie shouted, "Are you still standing on the rockery?" What do you want? Who does it look like? Who to scare? ”

I was just... It's just that... I want to be quiet, not to threaten death by jumping down......

How could she seek death, she finally came back to life......

Xie Roujia moved her lips.

"Are you wrong? Don't know what you're doing wrong? Mrs. Xie shouted again.

Old Madam Xie couldn't listen to it, and reached out to hug Xie Roujia, who was leaning beside her.

"Alright." She said, trying to open her still somewhat drunk eyes, "What a big deal, what are you shouting?" What's wrong? Our girl, what's wrong? ”

Mrs. Xie called out to her mother.

"Mother is right." The third lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Jiajia is not wrong. ”

She said and turned her head to look at Xie Roushu, raising her eyebrows and glaring.

"It's all the girl's fault! Jiajia's illness is cured, what did she mention! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and poked Xie Roushu's head fiercely.

Xie Roushu covered her head and cried again.

"Brother and sister." Mrs. Xie hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xie Roushu behind her, "Shu'er is not wrong, Mingqing is a cousin, and he was injured again, so he naturally has to be concerned." ”

"Mingqing's matter has passed, and I won't mention it again." The second lady on the side also spoke, looking at Xie Rouqing with a bit of sternness, "Don't you know?" I also led my sister and sister to say this! ”

Xie Rouqing bowed her head and responded.

"It's not like it's not happening in the past." Mrs. Xie said, looking at Xie Roujia, "You will go to the Shao family with me tomorrow to apologize to your cousin, and I will see what happens if you go." ”

Xie Roujia's face changed.

"Nope." She blurted out.

Mrs. Xie's face turned pale.

"How dare you ......," she shouted, raising her foot and rushing over.

Old Madam Xie slapped the table.

"What for?" She shouted.

Mrs. Xie stood still.

"Mother!" She said urgently.

"What a big." Old Madam Xie snorted and said, "What apologies? What apologies? Don't say that Jiajia was sick at that time, but he wasn't sick, what if he hit him? beat him, but you still look up to him. ”

The second lady lowered her head, and the third lady coughed lightly with a bit of concealment.

"Mother, what are you talking about, that's Mingqing." Mrs. Xie said hurriedly.

"It's the same for everyone." Mrs. Xie said, "Our daughter of the Xie family, apologize to others, and only laugh to death when you say it." ”

Saying this, he stretched out his hand to hold Xie Roujia and stroked her hair with a smile.

"Jiajia doesn't want to apologize to him?" She asked.

Xie Roujia nodded without hesitation.

"Then don't apologize." Old Madam Xie waved her hand and said, "No one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future." ”

"Mother!" Mrs. Xie's face turned red with anger.

"Yes, aunt, I shouldn't have mentioned this a long time ago." The second lady smiled and snatched Mrs. Xie's words.

"Yes, yes, mother, it's already over, the eldest brother has been to the Shao family in person, and if you hold on to it again, it seems that our family is stingy." The third lady also hurriedly laughed.

Old Madam Xie nodded with some satisfaction.

"Now satisfied, Jiajia? Don't be angry, right? She touched Xie Roujia's head and said with a smile.

Xie Roujia's heart was numb and crispy.

I used to think that my grandmother was an alcoholic, always drunk, and she was glaring and frightening and reluctant to go to her, but in the dream, my grandmother also passed away early, and she didn't have a chance to get close.

It turns out that her grandmother treats her so well.

She couldn't help but lean close to her grandmother's arms, and her grandmother spoke most effectively at home, looking at the second and third aunts who bowed their heads and laughed with them, and then looked at the angry blushing but helpless mother.

Xie Roujia's eyes lit up suddenly.

That's it!

Since everyone misunderstood her because Shao Mingqing was making trouble, let's admit it, firstly, lest everyone force her to reconcile with Shao Mingqing, and secondly, it will completely cut off the opportunity for Shao Mingqing to come to the house again.

"Grandmother!" She reached out and hugged Old Madam Xie's arm, and said loudly, "It's not enough, Shao Mingqing will not be allowed to come to our house in the future!" I'll never see him again! ”

As soon as these words came out, the room full of people looked stunned.

Xie Rouhui, who had been keeping her head down, also raised her head, her round eyes and slightly open small mouth to show her shock.
