Chapter 22: The Past
Hearing Xiao Jinxuan say this, Zhuzi's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Miss, why do you say this about yourself, you are already very filial." ”
What the Yang family has always said, this young lady in his own family will not disobey, as soon as there is good food and use, he will also be sent to this mother-in-law, Zhu Zi looked, several young ladies in the house, none of them did better than Xiao Jinxuan in this regard.
But Xiao Jinxuan laughed self-deprecatingly, and said in a sad tone: "Filial piety? Have you ever seen a filial child who almost took the life of his own mother. ”
Bamboo scratched his head and muttered puzzledly: "Miss, what are you talking about, my aunt is alive and well, why is she going to die." ”
has been suppressed for too long, Xiao Jinxuan also needs catharsis, and obviously bamboo is the best listener now.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan looking up at the flying snow outside the corridor, her thoughts fell into memories, and she said slowly: "I was born eleven years ago, on the night of the first snow, but my birth did not bring joy to the Xiao family, but a death. ”
Bamboo held her breath, and her intuition told her that what Xiao Jinxuan was going to say next was definitely a secret, and she unconsciously became nervous.
Xiao Jinxuan paused, closed her eyes and continued: "When I was born, the subordinates in charge of delivering babies in the hospital, from the midwife to the maid who served the water, all died, there were no wounds on their bodies, their faces were peaceful and calm, and no one could find out what the cause of their death was. ”
Xiao Jinxuan didn't want to recall this memory, but she still remembered the first time she heard Qi's mother, the only old servant who survived, talk about it, she trembled with fright, and couldn't believe that such a terrible thing had happened to her when she was born.
With her hands clenched slightly, Xiao Jinxuan's voice trembled a little, and she continued to tell the story: "Three days after I was born, a wandering monk passed by, saying that Xiao Mansion had a ninth generation of calamity stars descending into the world, and he must see blood when he was born, and he was referring to me who was still in infancy. ”
Bamboo's hands couldn't help but cover his mouth, his eyes full of shock.
At that time, if anyone was detained with a reputation such as having a good life, or the reincarnation of a broom star, they would be disliked by everyone, and they would even be treated as an outlier and killed directly.
And Xiao Jinxuan is good, the disaster star is born, and she is still a family member, and the bamboo can't imagine how her young lady survived back then, and generally such a child will definitely be disposed of.
Sure enough, it was the same as Zhuzi thought, and Xiao Jinxuan continued: "At that time, the Xiao clan in Yangzhou, as well as my mother-in-law Ning, immediately arrested me and my mother, and threw us into the well alive, if my father hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't have seen me now." ”
Bamboo's little face wrinkled, and he took three sips on the ground, and then said angrily: "Miss, you are talking nonsense, what do you mean that I can't see you, you didn't die back then, and you will definitely be safe in the future." ”
Then, Zhuzi showed a thoughtful expression and asked softly: "Miss, is it possible that my aunt is so estranged from you, and it has something to do with that incident back then." ”
Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed with self-blame, and she said in a lonely voice: "Yes, because I was identified as a disaster star, and the mother who gave birth to me was naturally regarded as an unknown person, although she did not die later, but because of this, her mother was expelled from the Xiao family and lived in Meizhuang for eleven years." Putting on a child like me who will only bring bad luck, my mother hates me, and she should alienate me. ”
Zhuzi didn't know what to say, originally she was complaining about the Yang family, but after the Yang family experienced this, a shadow fell in her heart, so she didn't want to see Xiao Jinxuan, which is also very possible, after all, this daughter equates her life with ruined, and it is difficult for anyone to accept it.
At this moment, Zhuzi finally understood what Xiao Jinxuan meant by what she said before, sorry for the Yang family, everything is her fault.
But if you really blame Xiao Jinxuan, Zhuzi feels that her own young lady is really wronged, she was still a baby at that time, what did she understand, did she want to do all this, the most innocent is actually Xiao Jinxuan.
It can only be said that the mother-daughter relationship between Yang and Xiao Jinxuan is really too shallow, and they are all acting on people.
After telling the backlog of things in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan felt much more comfortable, stood up, and just wanted to continue walking back, but she was suddenly stopped by someone who didn't want to.
On the left side of the corridor, Ning was coming here with more than a dozen maids-in-law, and Ning said with a smile: "Jinxuan, wait, I'm about to look for you, I don't want to meet here first." ”
Naturally, I couldn't leave now, Xiao Jinxuan greeted each other, and after saluting each other, she asked calmly: "Mother doesn't know what to do with me." ”
Since she came back from the Song Mansion that day, the Ning family has never troubled her, and Xiao Jinlian has rarely stopped, Xiao Jinxuan has been very easy for a while, this will make the other party find her, I don't know if she is playing any crooked ideas.
Ning smiled and said casually: "It's not a big deal, but I've been thinking about you coming back for so long, and there is no mother-in-law in the yard, so my mother is uneasy." ”
Xiao Jinxuan smiled and said in a calm tone: "My daughter used to live in Zhuangzi, and now I am very satisfied with my life, and my mother really doesn't have to worry about me." ”
The other party is going to install people, and it will not be possible to enter her yard, Xiao Jinxuan silently guessed.
was politely refused, Ning Shi was not angry, but suddenly pointed behind him and said: "It is right to bother with your children, not to mention that I will arrange this person for you, he is your subordinate, Mother Bai, you can't come over." ”
As soon as Ning's voice fell, she saw a woman in her forties walking out behind her, wearing a dark blue short jacket, her hair was tightly coiled behind her head, and a long face was covered with many pockmarks, with a dark complexion, if she hadn't abused Xiao Jinxuan in Zhuangzi, who else could she be a white mother for more than ten years.
Xiao Jinxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, since she lost Ping'er, she didn't plan to cook with Mother Bai, but the other party seemed to have evaporated, and she never appeared, so she didn't want to see it again today.
Seeing that Mother Bai came to the front, she immediately knelt down with her hands and feet, kowtowed to Xiao Jinxuan three times, and said in a simple voice: "Kowtow to Miss Four, please say goodbye, I can serve you when I come back, the old slave must do his best." ”
Xiao Jinxuan sneered in her heart, thanks to what this wicked woman said, but in terms of abusing her, the other party really did her best.
didn't call Mother Bai to get up, Xiao Jinxuan said directly: "Mother, I can only understand your kindness, this Mother Bai is Ping'er's aunt, if she comes to be my mother in charge of the hospital, my daughter is really uncomfortable, so let's stop it." ”
Ning was stunned, she thought that Xiao Jinxuan would refuse, but she was her mother-in-law, and the affairs of the back house were all under her control, so even if she didn't agree, she had a reason to give this matter down.
But now Xiao Jinxuan actually refuses to take Ping'er's matter, if she still insists on arranging for Bai's mother to go over, it will inevitably be deliberately suspected, which is really not conducive to the plan, and it seems that she has to think about it in the long run.
Thinking like this, Ning motioned for Mother Bai to go down, and then said with a pleasant face: "Since that's the case, forget it, Mother is paying attention to the better for you." ”
After Xiao Jinxuan thanked each other, they exchanged a few more words of greeting and left.
The smile on Ning's face, after Xiao Jinxuan's figure disappeared from her sight, disappeared in an instant, and the expression on her face was as cold as a piece of ice.
Waving his hand to signal everyone to go down, Ning left Mother Bai alone, and said angrily: "This dead girl, she really knows how to make excuses, now it will be difficult for you to enter her yard, how can this be good." ”
Mother Bai's brows also furrowed, she thought that today's things would fall into place, but she didn't want these four young ladies to become so thoughtful, is this still the same Xiao Jinxuan who trembled when she saw her?
Seeing that Mother Bai was like a stuffy gourd and didn't speak, Ning Shi said with a smile: "Mother Bai, don't forget, who sent you back this time, it's really messed up, and you and I don't have to think about it at that time." ”
Being reminded like this, Mother Bai came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, let me think about it." ”
After getting along with Xiao Jinxuan for eleven years, Bai's mother knows her quite well, and it didn't take long for her to pat her head and say, "I've thought of a way, Madame's way now." ”
Ning's eyes lit up, and when Mother Bai whispered to her ear for a long time, the smile on her face became more and more satisfied.
If it is said that the Ning family made Xiao Jinxuan difficult before, it was because of the Yang family, so they were angry with her.
And now the Ning family, what they hate the most is no longer the Yang family, but it is really Xiao Jinxuan, the concubine.
Since the other party got out of trouble and returned, he has been against her everywhere, and she has been faceless many times, and now even her daughter is so pressed by this concubine that she can't raise her head, and her brilliance is lost, which is absolutely unbearable for the Ning family.
Even the Ning family had a hunch that if Xiao Jinxuan continued to stay in the Xiao Mansion, sooner or later, there would be no place for their mother and daughter.
So she wanted Xiao Jinxuan to disappear and get out of the Xiao family completely, instinctively, the Ning family had already sensed the crisis.
Winter nights always come early, Xiao Jinxuan feels that the day has not passed, and it is time to hold the lamp again.
Lan Zhi picked the wick brighter, and the bamboo also added charcoal to the charcoal basin, Xiao Jinxuan reclined on the couch, holding a book in her hand, looking comfortable and gentle, the atmosphere in the room at this moment was quiet and warm.
But at this moment, the maid who was in charge of guarding the courtyard suddenly came in, and said after seeing the ceremony: "Fourth Miss, there is a mother surnamed Bai, who said that she was your old slave and asked to see you." ”
Xiao Jinxuan put the book down, raised her eyebrows and said, "What can she say she is for?" ”
No need to ask, the person who came to visit here must be Mother Bai, but she had already rejected so thoroughly during the day, what else did she come to do with herself, Xiao Jinxuan was really a little interested.
The girl shook her head and said, "I didn't say what it was, Fourth Miss, did you see her?" ”
Xiao Jinxuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Then call her in." ”
If she has nothing to do, she wants to see what this white mother wants to do here, and what she has in mind!
