"Auntie......"

Xie Jiarou, who was completely defenseless, covered her aching hot cheeks, and was so frightened that her face was pale.

"In vain, I always thought you were smart and sensible...... I didn't expect you to do such a foolish thing this time! Xie Shi's face was cold and heavy, and it was an angry expression that was rarely shown in front of people.

“…… I didn't know what I had done wrong to make my aunt so angry? Xie Jiarou didn't know if it was because of grievances or something, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were red in an instant.

"Let me ask you...... At the beginning of the lunar month a year ago, you sent Bai Ling to secretly go out of the house to Yushu Hutong to explain what she had done! Xie asked sharply.

Xie Jiarou's back was cold, but her eyes did not dodge and denied: "Bailing is a maid given to me by my aunt in her early years, her parents are still alive, and they live in Elm Hutong, what's wrong with her going home to visit relatives at the beginning of every month?" ”

"Visiting family?" Xie Shi sneered suddenly, and said angrily and sadly in his eyes: "It's true that you have always been cautious in doing things, but you really treat your aunt as a fool?" Or do you really think you're doing it seamlessly? Even now, you are completely unrepentant, haven't you forgotten all the teachings I have taught you all these years? ”

"......" Xie Jiarou turned her face slightly, looking at the flame flickering slightly on the candlestick, her cold thin lips pursed tightly.

When Xie Shi said this, she knew that she had no room for explanation.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of your doing! If you really get your wish, you will ruin Jiang Ying's ceremony. That aunt's previous efforts for this will be in vain! ”

The Jin family is not an official eunuch, but a scholar clan - and how could the scholar clan marry a woman who has been covered in dust at the ceremony and enter the door to be the future housewife!

"This is only one thing, and the second is if Mr. Kong finds out that you did it...... The consequences are even more unimaginable! Do you know how much manpower, material and effort your brother-in-law and even the Duke of Jin spent in order to win over Mr. Kong! Mr. Kong dotes on this granddaughter so much, it can be seen from the fact that she was wronged by Ah Mi in the house, and Ah Mi even had to come to the door to personally take the blame! And if he and the ritual are destroyed, will you be Mr. Kong to settle the matter? Such a huge loss, I am afraid that you and I will die together a hundred times and cannot make up for it! ”

Fortunately, as soon as she sensed that something was wrong, she immediately asked someone to inquire secretly...... If others are the first to learn the truth, the result can be imagined!

The more Xie Shi spoke, the more scared he felt. In the end, it was even more word-by-word: "And the Jin family will not be able to tolerate you when the time comes!" I'm afraid it's not just you. Even I can't pick it clean! will even involve our Xie family, do you know what kind of foolish things you have done! ”

"What does this have to do with me!"

Xie Jiarou, who had been silent, heard Xie's reprimand. As if he couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly opened his mouth. Angrily asked, "Xie family? You only have the Xie family and yourself in your eyes! How have you ever imagined it from my point of view! Others only let me be fortunate to stay in the Jin family since I was a child. It's a great honor, but what kind of life I've lived all these years is not clear to others. Have you not seen it also? ”

"I admit that it was I who let the Hui blow the wind on Guo's ears and secretly lead her to Jiang Ying's ceremony to make trouble, and I did this to prevent Jin Mi from getting her wish! People like him are not qualified to climb Mr. Kong and then undertake the great cause of the Jin family! If he really takes charge of the Jin family in the future, I will really have no place with you! ”

"Jiarou......" Xie shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "The Jin family treats you and me well!" ”

In such a world, it is a great blessing to listen to other women like them who are from the semi-declining clan.

How hard has she lived all these years? But she had no other choice—

She didn't expect Xie Jiarou to have such extreme thoughts, and even if she didn't check it for a while, she did such a stupid thing to ......!

Xie Jiarou sneered, tears swirled back and forth in her eyes, and she looked at Xie Shi for a moment and said, "Not thin? Scold...... Auntie, the Jin family has never taken me in their eyes, Jin Mi has bullied me three times and twice, treating me as a, these are what you said about treating me well? And before my mother died, she swore that she would protect my well-being, auntie...... And what did it do for me? What have you done for me besides ignoring and thinking about how to please Jin Mi! ”

She was aggrieved.

She has always been wronged!

It's just that she never had the ability to say it!

“…… Ah Mi is the future head of the Jin family, what good is it for you to go toe-to-toe with him? Xie's expression was a little less angry, but it became more and more complicated and difficult to understand, or a little guilty, but more helpless.

The woman is based in the scholar clan, and Xie Jiarou's unyielding character is destined to live more difficult than others.

"That's right...... You have your problems! Xie Jiarou's expression was cold and sarcastic, and her voice even trembled a little because she was too excited: "But what's wrong with me?" I have no reason to share your troubles! Be despised everywhere for your troubles...... You know who you are and you know the path you want to take...... I shouldn't have been brought to the Jin family in the first place! Let me live this nightmare! ”

Xie never thought that her niece, who had grown up with one hand, would one day say such heart-wrenching words to her, and she even had a moment of suddenness, and suddenly, she returned to the day when her eldest sister died, and the eldest sister's face was full of tears but her eyes were relieved, and she put that weak little hand into her hands.

Over the years, this situation has often resurfaced in her mind, but not once has it been so clear.

It seems like it was just yesterday......

"Jiarou...... My aunt admits that she has taken care of you a little bit in recent years, but the reason why my aunt did this is because she didn't want to see you like those girls in the Xie family, and end up marrying into a declining family or even a concubine...... And these days, I have also secretly observed this child, he is different from Ah Mi, he has his own opinions, and he will definitely have his own plans in the future. ”

Xie Shi didn't know if he was comforting Xie Jiarou or deliberately filling the guilt in his heart. His eyes were gentle and firm, and he said: "Don't worry, no matter what happens to the Jin family in the future, my aunt will not leave you alone......"

Even though she realized the unusual attitude of the Jin family towards Jinqi, she still couldn't give up Xie Jiarou in the real sense, but in the same way, she couldn't completely protect Xie Jiarou from the wind and waves, what she could do as an elder ...... There is only the word "best effort".

Not to mention Xie Jiarou, even her own life is no longer her own.

"But I can't trust you anymore." Xie Jiarou's voice was much softer, but she still trembled slightly. She said to Xie: "Five years ago, you and I both knew that the person I was going to marry in the future was Jin Mi. And last year, when my unidentified second cousin returned home, I suddenly became a completely different chess piece, what do you say and what I do, but the result is really ironic. This second cousin even looked down on me. I guess I think the style I put up without shame is too annoying, right? ”

Speaking of which. Tears were already pouring out, sliding down her beautiful cheeks.

"So aunt...... You always settle me according to the will of the Jin family and your own will. But he never asked me if I wanted to. And I've been listening to you, but I haven't been able to live well, but I've lived so badly......" Xie Jiarou raised her hand to wipe a handful of tears, closed her red eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'd rather live like the sisters in the Xie family, but it's better than living so lowly now, often doing things that even I feel disgusted......"

"Jiarou...... Rao is shrewd and rational like Xie's, and he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only stand in place in a daze, watching Xie Jiarou turn around and push open the door and walk out slowly.

Before she asked people to call Xie Jiarou over, she didn't expect that this would be the case in the end.

The thrush who was far away actually faintly heard the movement in the room, although he didn't know what was happening, but he thought that Mrs. had asked the girl to come over so late, and his face was not good, so something should have happened. So he kept paying attention to the movement in the room, and at this moment, he saw Xie Jiarou push open the door and walk out, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Girl."

The thrush trotted closer, but without being guarded, he saw that Xie Jiarou's wolf bèi not only had tears on her face, but also left a red palm print.

“…… Girl, this is ......" The thrush was shocked, glanced at the main room with the door open, and hurriedly retracted his gaze to look at Xie Jiarou with an expressionless face.

Second Lady ...... Did you do it to the girl?

Oh, my God...... What's this for?

"You don't have to keep up."

Xie Jiarou said coldly.

"Girl......" Thrush seemed to be able to say only these two words for a while, and her face was full of panic and worry without knowing what had happened.

"Don't follow me!"

Xie Jiarou saw that she was still walking in the same direction, her voice suddenly raised, with cold anger, the startled thrush hurriedly bowed her head and said "yes", and immediately took a few steps back, but she didn't dare to really let Xie Jiarou go alone, just waited for Xie Jiarou to go a little farther, and then carefully followed far away.

Xie Jiarou walked slowly at first, then turned into a fast walk, and finally even ran against the cold night wind.

As a family girl who abides by etiquette, she has never run like this, but at this time, she wants to put aside these tiring rules, and she can't wait to escape from this place that suffocates her!

When the thrush raised her head, Xie Jiarou's figure was already missing from her sight.

"Girl! Girl? The thrush panicked, but he didn't dare to shout too loudly, and layers of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and after being at a loss for a moment, he hurriedly grasped the lantern in his hand and hurried to look for it.

……

In the thick night, Xie Jiarou didn't know how long she had been running, the cold wind in her ears pierced her tear-soaked cheeks that were painful and itchy, and her limbs were numb.

She finally stopped at the edge of a stone bridge, holding on to the stone railing by the bridge with her hands weak, and breathed in the cold wind with frost with her mouth wide open.

After a long run, it suddenly stopped, causing her heart to beat violently, and her mind to buzz, and it didn't take long for the scene in front of her to become clear.

At this time, she had calmed down a lot, and suddenly realized that she didn't know where she was now.

Even though she has been raised in the Jin family since she was a child, she mostly stays in the cabinet, not to mention that the Jin State Mansion covers a large area, and there is not even a lamp here, which obviously does not look like people often walk around on weekdays.

I looked around left and right, but I didn't see the thrush.

Love xù return to love xù, but in the end she is still a woman raised in the deep boudoir, no matter where she has always been accompanied by a maid to serve by her side, she has never encountered this situation.

So, Miss Xie was a little panicked.

At this moment, another male voice suddenly came, full of vigilance, and asked, "Who is there?" ”

Xie Jiarou was startled, and suddenly turned her head to look.

The man's steps were so light and fast that she didn't know when she had come behind her!

When I looked closely, it was still a little familiar.

"Cousin?" Song Yuanju, who was patrolling the night, was stunned.

Then he asked with a very playful expression, "I don't know if my cousin came to Yunqi Courtyard late at night...... What is it? ”

He wasn't sure what happened to his master, but he was very diligent in delivering things last year.

And here again in the middle of the night...... It's hard not to think about it.

Xie Jiarou instantly understood what he meant, and a touch of red appeared on her cold face, but fortunately, the light here was extremely dim and it was difficult to see.

Xie Jiarou didn't speak, tilted her chin slightly and looked away, recovering her usual cold and arrogant attitude.

Song Yuanju smiled helplessly, and didn't ask any more, but suddenly reached out and took out an object from his arms, and took a few steps forward and handed it to Xie Jiarou.

"Is this a cousin's thing?"

Xie Jiarou reluctantly lowered her head to look.

This look, but I was suddenly shocked!

This is not the day of the Shangyuan Festival...... Did she accidentally lose her close-fitting jade pendant!

“…… Where did you get it from? Xie Jiarou raised her head and looked at Song Yuanju.

After taking such a close look, Song Yuanju finally saw the messy tears on her face and the appearance of unfat powder.

was stunned, and suddenly felt a light hand, and the jade pendant was taken away.

Song Yuanju couldn't help but smile again, and explained: "I picked it up in the mansion by chance, and I always wanted to return it to my cousin, but there were many people in the mansion, and I was afraid of causing inconvenience to my cousin, so I thought that it would be more appropriate to hand it back by chance one day." ”

Hearing that he was so thoughtful, Xie Jiarou couldn't say what she wanted to question, but her tone became more and more vigilant, and she looked straight at the man in front of her and asked, "What do you want?" ”

She doesn't believe that there is no good intention in this world.

Song Yuanju smiled again, and said helplessly: "If I really want something, I have to wait until today?" ”

Xie Jiarou frowned and looked at him.

"If there are really conditions to mention, I hope that my cousin will not come to the vicinity of Yunqi Courtyard late at night with tears on her face, if others see it, I am afraid that it is not good for the cousin girl and the second son." Song Yuanju smiled shallowly on his lips, as if he was joking but serious.
