Chapter 2 Selection

The door was opened with a bang, and Jiang Ling, who looked at the people pouring in, was startled, and subconsciously blocked in front of Xie Roujia.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Ling asked with a glare, looking at the women.

Four or five women came, and one of them held a plate in his hand, in which were placed porcelain vases, saucers, sticks, hemp ropes, brushes, and needle knives, which were of different lengths, but all shone brightly, and the smiles on the faces of the women were not daring to look at them.

"Second Miss, the eldest lady said to stab you with sand on your face, so that you and the eldest lady will not be confused in the future." A woman said with a smile.

Face!

Jiang Ling stretched out his hand to block Xie Roujia.

"No way!" She shouted, "No, how can this be! That's the face of the second lady! It's a face! ”

"Second Miss, don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt." The other woman laughed.

"It really doesn't hurt, you see there are several patterns here, the eldest lady asks the second lady to choose it yourself." Someone else smiled and handed the tray in his hand forward, "It's beautiful." ”

Several people laughed and surrounded them, and Jiang Ling blocked them stubbornly.

"No, no, no one wants to ruin the face of the second lady!" She screamed, "This is her face!" It's her face! It's hers! ”

The two women grabbed Jiang Ling with some impatience.

"Get out of the way." They shouted angrily, "If you make trouble again, our hands are shaking and stabbing are broken, but it doesn't matter to us!" ”

Jiang Ling struggled desperately, pounced on Xie Roujia and didn't let go.

"It's her face, it's her face." She shouted repeatedly.

Xie Roujia reached out and touched her face and sighed.

Several of the women were enraged. Put down everything to pull the Jiangling, and the Jiangling was quickly ripped open.

"Second Miss, you can pick one, the eldest lady will let you choose it yourself." The woman at the head straightened her messy clothes and said with a smile.

Xie Roujia looked at the tray.

Let me pick it myself?

The decision has been made, and this can be regarded as picking by yourself.

Get married, these people, you pick one.

Remarry, two princes, you pick one.

In the end, it was like this.

Xie Roujia shook her head.

"Nope." She said.

The servant woman was looking down at several patterns on the plate.

“… How about this beauty lotus? She said with a smile. I was stunned when I heard this. "No? This doesn't work, but what about this plum blossom? ”

Xie Roujia shook her head.

"No, I don't want to stab." She said.

The smile on the faces of the servants dissipated.

"Second Miss, don't laugh." The woman at the head said lightly. "It's up to you."

Jiang Ling took advantage of their stunned. Hit it headfirst.

"Miss, run. Miss run. She shouted.

There was a sudden uproar in the house, but the men were unprepared, and the door was immediately shut.

"Second Miss!" The servants shouted. "Don't force us to be rough, it won't look good if you stab it out like this!"

Xie Roujia was held tightly by the two women.

"What if it's not pretty." She said, looking at the woman, and again spat out a no.

No wonder they all say that the second lady is arrogant!

The servants were no longer patient, some picked up hemp ropes, some picked up knives, and approached step by step.

"Second Miss, you can bear with it, if you move around, the needle knife will not be long-sighted." They gritted their teeth.

"Wait! Wait! ”

Shouting outside the door, Jiang Ling, who was struggling on the ground, raised his head and saw two servants rushing in.

"Wait!"

Slow? The people in the room looked at Old Madam Xie with some surprise.

Since the accident, Old Madam Xie has barely spoken, and has been listening with a blank expression.

"Does Mother still want to take care of her?" Mrs. Xie said lightly.

"Ask her if she would rather stay at home with her face pierced or leave the house with her face covered." Old Madam Xie did not answer her, but said to the servant.

Cover your face and leave home?

"Old lady, what do you mean to leave home?" Shaw asked.

"Leave the Xie family, remove the surname and leave the name, and Yushan will be imprisoned." Old Madam Xie said, looking at Mrs. Xie, "From now on, there will be only one Xie Rouhui and only one eldest daughter in this family. ”

Confined in Yushan?

Everyone looked at each other.

Yushan is the starting place of the Xie family's Dan mine, but after so many years of hollowing out, the Xie family's Dan mine has now moved out, and Yushan is left with an empty shell, sparsely populated and remote, and there is not even a decent village.

That kind of place is not visited by anyone except the laborers of the Dan Mine, and it is really a good place to imprison people.

"I personally watched her in Yushan." Old Madam Xie continued, "I promise that I will not let her violate Xie Rouhui again. ”

"Mother, even if you imprison her, you don't need to go in person." Mrs. Xie said.

"I should go." Old Madam Xie said, "You are guarding Huihui at home, and I went to Yushan to watch her, also for Huihui." ”

"But old lady, Jiajia may not be willing to go." Shaw couldn't help but say.

Staying at home, it's a second lady anyway, anyway, they are all prisoners, so it's better to choose a comfortable place.

"Old lady, you are kind, you want her body to be undamaged, but she may not be willing." She continued.

"So, let me ask her, give her one of these two paths, she will be whichever she wants, and it will not be in vain that I drank her soup for nearly a year." Old Madam Xie said, looking out the door, "I returned her." ”

Mrs. Xie was silent, looking at the servants and nodded.

The servants hurried out.

The people in the room couldn't help but whisper.

"Which one will she choose, you say?" The third old man Xie Wenxiu asked the fourth old man Xie Wenrong in a low voice.

Xie Wenrong didn't answer, and Song pouted.

"Of course, it's a home." She said in a low voice, "Look at the old lady, I can't bear it now, as long as I stay at home and stay with the eldest lady, there will always be a chance for the mother-daughter blood relationship, but if I go to Yushan." Then if you don't have the surname Xie, then you can't see it every day, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, if this person can't see him often, he will have no feelings. ”

"No matter which one she chooses, she won't have a chance." Xie Wenrong said lightly.

Song looked at him.

"Fourth uncle, what do you say?" She asked, puzzled.

"If the old lady doesn't give this second choice, it's okay, but now that she has given this choice, she will be cut off." Xie Wenrong smiled.

"Isn't the old lady helping her? Is it to cut her back? Song asked puzzled.

"If you don't have that option. The only way she had to stay at home was to stay at home. The sister-in-law won't think much about it, but now, if she refuses to choose to go to Yushan, you say. What will my sister-in-law think? Xie Wenrong said. Don't wait for anyone else to answer. Then he said, "It can be seen that her heart is still greedy, how can my sister-in-law tolerate her still being greedy?" ”

Xie Wenxiu and Song nodded suddenly.

"As for choosing to go to Yushan. Then everyone knows, this life is like this. Xie Wenrong said, picked up the tea bowl on the side, and took a sip slowly.

"Who is this blame, it's not that she blames herself, her heart can be punished." Song pouted, "Look what has happened to my Shu'er." ”

A servant woman came in at the door, interrupting the whispered conversation in the room.

"Old lady, madam, the second lady said that she wanted to meet the eldest lady, and then choose." The servant woman said.

Mrs. Xie frowned.

"Does she want to go to Hui'er to intercede again?" Xie Cunli sneered and said, "It's a shame that she still has the face!" ”

"Go ahead." Mrs. Xie said.

"Why are you letting her go? Hui'er is fine, but what if she is injured. Xie Cunli glared and shouted.

"Second Uncle Ancestor, no, no." Xie Wenxing said, waving his hand at the servant, "You guys take a good look." ”

The servant woman was busy with the answer.

……………………………………………

Xie Roujia stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around.

"Second Miss?" The servants on either side reminded.

Xie Roujia retracted her gaze and stepped forward with the support of Jiang Ling.

The girls in the courtyard were surging, looking at Xie Roujia's eyes full of vigilance.

"What about Konoha and them?" Xie Roujia asked.

The girls in the yard are all strangers.

"Konoha and the others have been punished to go somewhere else." Jiang Ling said, "Mu Xiang too, our previous girls have changed." ”

Xie Roujia nodded.

"It's better to go somewhere else, at least you don't have to be burned to death." She said.

Jiang Ling was stunned.

"Burned? Why were you burned to death? She asked in a low voice.

Xie Roujia shook her head and didn't speak, and walked into the room.

The furnishings in the house are the same as before.

"Jiajia, come on."

There seemed to be a girl's laughter in my ears.

Xie Roujia raised her head and looked at the inner room, through the beaded curtain, she could see a girl sitting on the Luohan bed inside, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and a few little girls around her were holding medicine bowls.

"Miss, eat quickly." The little girls persuaded in trembling voices.

Xie Rouhui wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"It's so bitter, I've already taken so many medicines, why do I have to take it." She cried, "I can't eat anymore." ”

Xie Roujia's tears couldn't help but flow.

"Sister." She cried, "You have to take your medicine well. ”

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Xie Roujia, and a few girls stepped forward to block it.

"Alright, you all go down." Xie Rouhui said, wiping her tears.

"Miss, this is not good." The big girl said, glanced at Xie Roujia, and unabashedly guarded, "You can't stand any injuries now." ”

"How could my sister not hurt me." Xie Rouhui said.

It won't hurt me, but now I'm lying here and can't move, and I have to drink medicine bowl by bowl, this sounds heartbreaking, and my sister who believes so much hurts her like this.

The girls are sad and angry.

Xie Roujia walked over.

"I want to say a few words to my sister." She said.

Xie Rouhui put down the medicine bowl.

"Get out." She said.

The girls still hesitated.

"I'll let you out! I have something to say to my sister! Xie Rouhui raised her voice sharply and shouted.

The girls trembled in fright, and did not dare to hesitate any longer and retreated.

Only the two sisters were left in the room, and Xie Rouhui looked at Xie Roujia.

"What are you going to tell me?" She asked.

Xie Roujia looked at the medicine bowl on the table.

"Sister, let's take medicine first." She said.

Xie Rouhui looked at her and smiled, picked up the medicine bowl but didn't drink it. Instead, he turned over the medicine and poured it on the ground.

Xie Roujia looked at her.

"As soon as I let go of my hand, the bowl shattered, and you said they would think something had happened when they ran in?" Xie Rouhui said with a smile.

Xie Roujia's tears flowed down again.

"Sister, I just want to sue you, I never wanted to be the Dan Lord, I never wanted to replace you." She said, stretching out her hand to Xie Rouhui, "Sister, you are the most important person in the world in my heart." It's a treasure that I won't change in this world. I'm willing to die for you. ”

Xie Rouhui looked at her outstretched hand and slowly stretched out her hand.

Just like before, she always held her hand. shouted Jiajia one after another.

Xie Rouhui's hand rested on Xie Roujia's hand. Slam your palm down. Smacked the tips of her fingers.

Xie Roujia stepped forward, and she staggered to her knees with a leg injury.

"Then why don't you die?" Xie Rouhui leaned forward and approached Xie Roujia. Only the two of them could hear the voice word by word, "Then why don't you die!" ”

Xie Roujia looked up at her.

"Why did you give birth! Why do you have a face exactly like mine! ”

Xie Rouhui gritted her teeth and stared at her.

"I hate your face!"

"I hate your sister!"

"I hate that you appear in front of my eyes all the time!"

"I hate you snuggling up in your mother's arms!"

"I hate it when you occupy my house!"

"I hate you enjoying my qiē!"

"This qiē is mine! It's all mine! ”

"Why did you give birth! Why don't you die! Why don't you die! ”

Why did I give birth? Why don't I die?

Xie Roujia lowered her head and looked at her open hand, the empty palm was still numb and painful because of Shicai's slap.

I'm willing to give you my qiē, it turns out, you don't want it at all.

She slowly leaned over the ground and let out a whimper.

There was a crisp click in my ears, and broken porcelain splashed.

There were footsteps outside the door, and the exclamations of the girls and the cries of Xie Rouhui sounded in the room.

……………………………………………………

In the hall, two servants held plates, one with a golden needle-patterned piercing tool, and the other with a delicate gold mask.

"Jiajia, you choose." Mrs. Xie said, but her eyes did not fall on her when she said this.

Xie Roujia knelt down.

"Mother." She called and kowtowed to the eldest lady Xie.

Mrs. Xie looked blank, as if she didn't hear or see.

Xie Roujia kowtowed three times seriously and turned to Xie Wenxing.

"Father." She prostrates.

Then face Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie.

"Grandmother, grandfather." She prostrates.

Xie Wenjun, who was standing on both sides, had a complicated expression.

"Jiajia." He jerked forward, "Didn't you push your sister?" ”

These words caused an uproar in the hall, and several people looked at him.

"When is it, what do you say this is for?" Xie Wenrong said in a low voice.

Xie Roujia turned her head, smiled at Xie Wenjun, knelt down and kowtowed, stood up without waiting for him to speak, and reached out to take the gold mask.

I chose a mask!

Many of the people present were a little surprised.

Xie Roujia looked at the people in the room again, bowed her head and bowed deeply, and then raised her head that she had already put on her mask.

Although it only covers half of her face above her nose, it is enough to make people never see her face again.

The chaotic room fell silent, and all eyes fell on her.

Xie Roujia stopped looking at them and walked with her feet up.

"Jiajia." Xie Wenjun shouted again.

Xie Roujia stepped out of the door without looking back, and Jiang Ling was waiting outside the door with a burden.

"Second Miss.," she shouted.

Xie Roujia stretched out her hand and shrugged her on her lips.

"Call me Miss Roujia." She said.

is no longer surnamed Xie, and it is no longer the second miss of the Xie family, Jiang Ling nodded.

"Miss Roujia." She said, "Let's go." ”

Xie Roujia smiled, raised her feet and walked forward, only took a few steps and stopped thinking of something.

"JMC." She looked at Jiang Ling, "I haven't asked you, why do you keep following me?" ”

Whether in her dreams or now, why does she not abandon herself?

JMC smiled.

"Miss Roujia, you forgot, when you were a child, you met me lying under the rocks, and you took my hand and said that you would not leave me." She said.

In a long but clear memory, a little girl squatted beside her like a rag doll, her little hands tightly covering her forehead, and letting blood flow out of her hands.

She didn't fall and hurt herself to look like a rag doll, in fact, she has always been like a rag doll, wandering alone in this huge mansion, everyone knows her, but everyone can't see her.

It's as if she's been lying here for so long, and no one pays attention to her, she's in front of them, they're talking to her, she's gone, they don't care, everybody can see that she knows her, but everybody can't see her and can't remember her.

"I won't leave you, don't be afraid." The little girl said in a milky voice, "Are you afraid? Don't be afraid, I'll sing to you, my nurse sings a good song. ”

The indistinct singing voice flickered in her ears but never disappeared, her body became colder and colder, but there were always a pair of small hands on her forehead to warm her, until the sound of noisy footsteps sounded.

"Miss, you are a good talker, you didn't leave me, you always accompanied me, I thought at that time, if I don't die, I won't leave Miss in the future, and I will always follow Miss." Jiang Ling said with a smile, "I also mean what I say." ”

So that's the case, Xie Roujia smiled and nodded.

"Gone." She said, shaking her head.

Behind him, there was the sound of clackling footsteps.

The two looked back and saw that it was Shui Ying, and she was also holding a small burden in her hand.

"Shui Ying." Xie Rouqing caught up from behind, and grabbed her a little anxiously, "What are you doing?" You are not from the Xie family, you go back to the Shao family, don't join in the fun. ”

Shui Ying shook her off.

"My young master asked me to teach her to swim." "She hasn't learned it yet." ”

Xie Rouqing was stunned, and Shui Ying ran over while she was stunned.

"Who says I didn't learn?" Xie Roujia frowned and said, but everyone couldn't see her frowning, "I'll do it, you can go." ”

Shui Ying tensed her little face and hugged her little baggage, just like the day she first came.

"You didn't learn, if it weren't for my young master, you would have drowned." She said.

Xie Roujia sighed.

"It was an accident." "Next time I won't need him to save me." ”

She said, "Walk with her feet up.

Jiang Ling grinned and followed, and Shui Ying followed with a tense face.

The three figures in the front, two and behind walked slowly along the bluestone slab road of the Xie family's mansion.

Xie Rouqing bit her lower lip and didn't retract her gaze for a long time.

Why did you choose to go?

Is it because she's not her treasure? (To be continued......)
