(Depositor)――

Xie Shi couldn't help but chuckle twice, then took his gaze back, didn't stop sorting out the paper in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Didn't you say that Ah Mi should be guilty of Jing and plead?" ”

"Yes, but how to invite this ......" Jin Yuming felt that the topic had come back to him.

"Didn't you say that you were guilty of Jing pleading—" Xie Shi said again.

This time, Jin Yuming heard the word 'negative jing' in her tone.

Jin Yuming let out a soft "ah".

This is...... It's really going to be 'guilty'!

"After all, my father-in-law is the head of our Jin State Mansion...... There are some words that naturally can't be opened by him, the old man has been heavy on face for a lifetime, and you don't know it, master. Xie said.

Jin Yuming showed a sudden look and nodded.

The father first repeatedly pleaded guilty, and then said that he should be sincere......

After all, the character is there, and it is unrealistic to let him bow his head to that point.

"Although this matter is 'hidden' from my father-in-law, there is no need to tell him, master, you will not be wrong to take Ah Mi to do it." Xie said with a smile again.

Jin Yuming nodded secretly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

With such 'sincerity', Mr. Kong just wants to refuse, and he can't refuse?

"It's just Ah Mi's side...... I'm afraid that he won't bow his head lightly, this child's temperament is too arrogant, and the master also knows it. Speaking of this, Xie sighed slightly.

After all, it's not his own son, even if he really has the heart to discipline, most of the time he can't do it.

How one's own children beat and scold is normal, which can be interpreted as the deep responsibility of love, but as a stepmother, the same method falls in the eyes of others, which is very different - it should be explained as a small heart, unable to tolerate other people's children, and changing the way of abuse.

"Ah Mi doesn't have to worry about you here, he caused something by himself, do you dare not go?" Jin Yuming snorted coldly and said, but because he had an idea in his heart, his face was obviously a lot relaxed, not as tight as when he first came in.

Hearing him say this, Xie Shi also stopped, and did not stop on the topic of Jin Mi for more.

Jin Yuming turned to another thing-"Have you ever been to Jiarou?" ”

The Jiarou in his mouth is Xie Jiarou, a cousin who has been raised in the Guogong Mansion since she was a child.

Xie Shi paused slightly when he heard this, and then nodded: "I've been there this morning." ”

"She doesn't have any opinions, does she?" Jin Yuming raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, lowered his head and blew away the white tea foam, already with a casual face.

A smile appeared on Xie Shi's face again, and he said softly: "Naturally not." ”

"That's fine." Jin Yuming only took a bite, then put down the teacup and said: "Although Ran Zhi is the second son, he is also the biological son of my eldest brother, the son of our Jin State Mansion, Jia Rou does not suffer. ”

"That's what the lord said." Xie still had a decent smile on his face.

"It's just that this child has not been in the house since he was a child, and he doesn't have too deep feelings for us after all, if we just return to the house, we will rashly interfere in his family affairs, I am afraid that it will cause a gap in the family......" Jin Yuming said with a normal expression, "So if you want to marry Jia Rou Xu to him, it has to be a good relationship." ”

Two lovers?

Xie sneered in his heart.

The marriage between the nobles, she had never heard of the term "two lovers".

To put it bluntly, I just want to borrow Jiarou's hand to grasp this concubine who has just returned to the house more firmly.

The words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, where can they be worthy of the unreserved ones they like.

To put it mildly, Jia Rou was just used as a chess piece.

But other than that, can Jiarou have a better home?

Marrying Ami?

Heh, how could the Jin family allow the next head of the family to marry a daughter born to a declining scholar and a king?

At most, it's great to be a concubine for Ah Mi.

Marrying this concubine, at least it's still a proper room.

"You have to talk to Jiarou about this, and the opportunity is given to her...... But whether she can grasp it or not depends on herself. Jin Yuming saw that Xie Shi was silent, and then said.

He knew that Xie Shi was smart, and Xie Shi could naturally understand what he meant.

Xie Shi smiled and said, "The master is hardworking, the concubine knows it, and Jiarou, the child, can naturally understand......"

Jin Yuming was satisfied with his head.

"This tea is cold, I'll ask the maid to warm the kettle for the master." Xie Shi said warmly.

Jin Yuming said: "No need, I have other things to deal with, you can take Ah Lian and Ah Wei to practice calligraphy." ”

As he spoke, the man had already gotten up.

Xie Shi hurriedly got up and said, "Then I'll send the master out." ”

"No need, just sit down, I'll let the maid bring the children in." Jin Yuming said without looking back.

Xie Shi nodded, and watched with a smile as Jin Yuming's figure disappeared behind the screen of the lady's picture.

The smile on his face faded.

She went to Xie Jiarou last night.

The girl listened to her intentions, and the complicated look of surprise in her eyes still made Xie feel worried.

Jin Yuming's meaning couldn't be clearer.

No matter how beautiful it sounds, it can't cover up the filth of the ability to do things.

To put it bluntly, it's just for Jiarou to seduce/lure that concubine!

Ho, what is the century-old heritage of the family, what is the innocent family style...... It's just a façade piled up for outsiders to see.

What kind of selfish means are there in the inner house, if you really want to talk about it, I am afraid that three days and three nights will not be finished, not to mention what I have seen and heard over the years, just say that she Xie is herself...... I haven't participated in it, and it's not as simple as one, two, or three.

But when the matter fell on her niece and her Xie family's bloodline...... His state of mind can not be compared.

If this Jin Ran is just a concubine in the simple sense, it's okay.

Jia Rou married him, and An An lived this life under her nose, and she was also satisfied.

After all, marrying Ah Mi is the main room, not to mention Jin Yuming and Jin Qingyun, just say that she, as the housewife of the Jin family, will definitely not agree.

The door is not right, the door is not right.

But the problem was that she realized that Jin Qingyun and Jin Yuming had unspeakable vigilance against this concubine who had just returned to the mansion.

Before the child returned home, she sensed that Jin Qingyun and Jin Yuming were already secretly planning something.

said something that shouldn't be said, Xie even felt ...... The father and son of the Jin family are calculating this child.

Although she didn't know anything about the background of this concubine, the Xie family was sure that the Jin family had never sent any sick and weak sons to the temple to avoid robbery......

Even the Aunt Liu from Xiling committed suicide by throwing herself into a well a few years ago is quite bizarre.

Xie didn't know the details inside, but the thing she knew best at the moment was...... Jia Rou has become a pawn in this calculation.

Before she died, the eldest sister of a mother's compatriot held her hand and said to her like tears bursting into her mind, which suddenly broke into Xie's mind.

It's still vivid......

Before I knew it, the nails in the sleeves were embedded in the palms of my hands.

The look in Xie Shi's eyes was violent and repeated.

If she spoke out to stop it, it was not impossible for Jin Yuming to dispel this idea.

But she is not as glamorous as outsiders see in the Jin family.

Her status as a stepfamily is what the Xie family got in exchange, only the Xie family knows it.

When she got married, her father, mother, and grandfather all told her in her ear that after she arrived at the Jin family, how to be cautious in her words and deeds, how to share her husband's worries, how to be considerate, and not to disobey in the slightest.

The reason why her parents chose to let her marry into the Jin family was because they valued her intelligence, knowledge of advance and retreat, and understanding of the general situation.

can afford the honor and disgrace of the family.

But the eldest sister ......

The eldest sister entrusted Jiarou to her care with her own hands......

"Mother, do you continue to teach Ah Lian to read and write?" The eldest daughter's voice suddenly came.

Xie subconsciously raised his head, and saw his eldest daughter Ah Lian walking in with small steps, the little girl was young, but she already had a gentle and dignified atmosphere when she smiled.

Including the little daughter who followed up and smiled, she was not picky when she walked the aisle.

This is all what she has been tweaking/teaching bit by bit over the years.

Actually, it's not just two daughters......

The qiē she is now in the Jin family is also built up by her years of hard work.

The Xie family, which has already gone into decline, has been able to improve a little because of the 'weight' she got in the Jin family.

No matter how hard she worked, she at least lived up to the high expectations of her parents and family.

I didn't dare to live up to it for so many years......

Because I know that I can't live up to it......

Jiarou is pitiful, but who let her follow the surname Xie?

An imperceptible sigh escaped from Xie's lips.

The look in his eyes gradually calmed down.

The youngest daughter, Ah Wei, came over, clinging to her mother like a kitten, and said delicately: "Mother, mother, we don't know how to read, okay...... I don't know what the name of the flowers in the backyard is, they are beautiful, and it happens to be windy, so it's okay to put paper kites? ”

Looking at his daughter's innocent eyes, the complicated color in Xie's eyes gradually faded, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, his eyes touched his little daughter's head lovingly, and he whispered the word "good" on his chin.

The little girl cheered with joy.

……

When the time passes, the sun is slanting in the west.

In the Yilan Pavilion, a maid with a pair of braids and emerald ribbons went up to the second floor with a piece of clothing, and the cloth and satin shoes made a gentle 'dong dong' sound on the wooden ladder.

In the corridor on the second floor, a woman in a light-white bottomed purple chrysanthemum collared full-breasted skirt sat on a drum stool, half-leaning on the vermilion railing and looking downstairs.

A maid stood on one side, looking down at her line of sight, but it was nothing more than an empty corridor outside the attic and greenery and rockeries on both sides.

"Girl, you've been sitting all afternoon, and the sun is going down, can the slave help you back to your room?" The maid thrush finally said so.

"Bailing is back." The woman said softly, still looking downstairs.

The thrush let out a soft "ah" in confusion.

When did Bailing come back? Why didn't she see it?

I was about to ask a question, but suddenly I heard a familiar voice coming.

"Girl, the slave is back—"

Isn't that the voice of the girl in Bailing?

As soon as the thrush turned his head, he saw that Bai Ling was walking with a smile, and before the person came to him, he said: "Girl, the slave and maid passed by the West Garden when they came back, and happened to meet the maid who came to borrow clothes at noon today, so she took the girl's clothes back by the way." ”

Thrush smiled and took the clothes from her hand, and was about to ask Bai Ling if he had heard of who the clothes were lent to, but saw Xie Jiarou, who was leaning on the railing, suddenly turned his head.

It is a beautiful face that is beautiful and refined.

However, the corners of the originally soft eyes and eyebrows were full of displeasure at the moment, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Bai Ling with questioning, and asked, "You took the initiative to ask the maid for this clothes?" ”

The voice was not loud, but it was full of anger.

Bai Ling, who rarely saw a girl lose her temper, was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he shook his head busily and explained: "No, no, the slave maid just happened to meet them when passing through the West Garden, and these two little girls wanted to be lazy and didn't want to run this leg, so they asked the slave and maid to bring back the ......."

Xie Jiarou's tense face relaxed slightly.

Bai Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to carry the clothes into the room, but heard Xie Jiarou say slowly: "You don't have to take it in, just throw it into the brazier and burn it." ”

Bai Ling's eyes widened in both puzzlement and surprise.

The thrush frowned secretly, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "Girl, this dress was specially made for you by the second lady, and you are not willing to wear it once......

"So what's the matter?" Xie Jiarou sneered softly and said, "I, Xie Jiarou, am not good, I have no identity in this mansion, but I am still reduced to wearing clothes that have been worn by others?" ”

Hearing this, the two maids exchanged a complicated look with each other.

What's wrong with that, girl?

Although he is silent on weekdays, he is a little withdrawn and cold, but he has never lost his temper because of such a trivial matter.

And he said such unpleasant things......

Bai Ling had a stomach full of questions, but he didn't dare to say more, and stood aside with his clothes trembling.

The thrush suddenly realized something.

The girl seems to have started to look a little strange since the second lady left last night.

It's just that because the girl's temperament has always been extremely quiet, and she looks like she is so worried that people can't guess almost all the time, so the thrush doesn't care too much.

Now that I think about it, I find a lot of unusual things.

I used half a bowl of porridge for breakfast, and I didn't move it for lunch, and after dropping the half-embroidered bandage after noon, I sat here for a whole afternoon.

It's like they're waiting for someone to come......

The thrush didn't think about it further, but before Xie Jiarou spoke again, he forced Bai Ling, who was standing there and didn't move, to retreat.

Soon, the smell of the burnt fire of the clothes drifting from the end of the corridor with the wind to the mouth and nose, making the breath dirty.

Xie Jiarou stood up from the drum stool and walked towards the room step by step.

My aunt didn't come over after all.

In the end, my aunt still chose to abandon her.

I expected it early in the morning...... The day still came.
