Lin Aqi looked at her curiously: "Is this bun more delicious?" Lin Archie picked up one, bitten it out in two or three bites, and squeezed his cheeks bulging.

Xie Ai smiled and wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth for her: "Why are you in such a hurry to eat?" ”

"It's so refreshing to chew like this in your mouth!" Lin Aqi swallowed half of it, and continued to snort, "You can also try." ”

The two girls are having fun coming and going, Lin Shaxiang is drinking tea on the side, his eyes smiling into a slit.

After eating and drinking, Xie Ai wiped his mouth, and then solemnly got up and saluted Lin Aqi and Lin Shaxiang: "Thank you two today, if you don't dislike it, Xie Ai is willing to do something for the two of you to express your heart." ”

Lin Aqi helped her: "Your name is Xie Ai, don't be polite, Master has always treated people like this, it's nothing for us to do this, don't be too careful, just treat this as your own home." ”

Lin Shaxiang also nodded: "Yes, girl, if you encounter any difficulties, you can stay first, and then leave when you find an opportunity, Xilin Village is full of kind people, you don't have to worry about others when you come here." ”

Xie Ai's eyes were moist, and he nodded and sat down again.

Maybe she needed to talk too much, maybe it was the hunger faint that broke the last line of defense in her heart today, or maybe she met the right kind person......

In short, Xie Ai took a sip of tea, and after taking a long breath of relief, she finally told about the various injustices and injustices she had encountered in the past year.

"I was originally from Qingjun County, Pingfu, and my home was a well-known local business family."

"Your surname is Xie-" Lin Shaxiang pondered, "but the Xie family that people praise?" ”

Xie Ai looked sad: "Yes." ”

Lin Shaxiang frowned, his expression was a little heavy: "The Xie family has been in business for more than 100 years, since you are a child of the Xie family, how could you end up like this?" ”

Xie Ai was also distressed: "I was the eldest daughter of the eldest house, but after my mother died, my father took another concubine, and the concubine room couldn't accommodate me, so he did everything possible to provoke my relationship with my father." ”

"That's too vicious! He is your father, so he should divorce that woman, don't spoil the relationship between your father and daughter. Lin Archie slapped the table, very upset for her.

Xie Ai smiled and held Lin Aqi's little hand: "You can be careful, don't break your hand." ”

She sits dignifiedly, eats tea and drinks without hurry, and does have a beautiful fan.

Yungu country does not locate the identity of the people according to the Shi Nong industry and commerce, on the contrary, Dayun attaches great importance to the country's economic development, some big families who do business are good, and they will be invited to the palace by the emperor to participate in the banquet, for example, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival in Dongjiang Anzhou Songfang to do graphite business of the Long family was named by the Queen Mother to enter the palace to accompany the banquet, this is a great glory of the Long family, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the business of the Long family is a day by day boom.

"The Xie family can be regarded as a family praised by everyone in Pingfu, even the old man has heard a little bit about it, just because you have a discord with your father's concubine, you will go thousands of miles, which is too ridiculous." Lin Sha added hot tea to her, the tea rhyme was curling, and the aroma was tangy.

I haven't drunk such a good tea for a long time.

Xie Ai sighed with emotion before saying: "There are few stepmothers who are really generous and generous, since she was pregnant, her jealousy of me has become more and more vicious, and when she gave birth to her younger brother, she blew the wind on the pillow every day and night, and asked my father to carry her as a wife." ”

"Is your own father a fool? The son of the concubine is also a concubine after all! Although the mother is more expensive than the son, it is just an aunt after all. ”

Xie Ai had a feeling of finding the same kind, and held Lin Aqi's hand stiffly: "I said the same thing!" ”

"And what about later? How did your dad do it? ”

Later, ...... "Xie family's room died suddenly, his only daughter went out to follow the third aunt to run business, never learned half of the news, returned after March, everything has already changed hands, the second room supports the son of the concubine to sit on the position of the head of the Xie family, because the young children, all matters of the Xie family are temporarily decided by the second room.

Xie Ai is not without trouble, his father has prepared for the worst as early as after the death of his mother, and made a will to hide it in the mansion, once he dies unexpectedly in the future, all the property in his name will belong to his daughter Xie Ai, this matter has been recognized by the elders of the clan, and Xie Ai himself is also aware.

But what I never expected was that after March, not only was everything in the family decided by the disgusting second uncle, but even the elders of the clan who had been in the past have changed a group of people, and the first elders have not heard from them so far.

Xie Ai was inexplicably charged with "refusing to attend his father's funeral, and being unfaithful and unfilial", and was immediately removed from the clan and became an unfilial daughter among the local population.

Even the third aunt was implicated by this, and was threatened and persecuted by the second brother, and refused to have any dealings with the Xie family again. Xie Ai was desperate to go to Sangu, but he was assassinated on the way, and he was in danger again and again, but he was in trouble again and again.

Just when she was forced to beat the drum of injustice and sue the second uncle, the second uncle appeared with her younger brother in his arms.

He sat with the adults and talked and laughed, and Xie Ai knew that everything was irreparable.

She was imprisoned in prison, after nine deaths, taking advantage of the change of guards to knock out a person, changed clothes and escaped, so far she has been on the run for more than a year, and finally collapsed in Xilin Village.

"The government has already decided that I am just having trouble with my second uncle, and it is not a big case, so the pursuit of me has long been withdrawn, and I am not a fugitive, so please rest assured. As for the reason why I ran away, it was because of the disgusting stepmother and the second uncle who united to teach me a lesson, they refused to let me go, and they would not let me have a good time. ”

She glanced at her daughter's outfit now: "That's why I'm wearing men's clothes, and my face is painted black, so as to avoid the harm of my stepmother and second uncle." ”

"This is ridiculous!" Lin Aqi was indignant, "There are still such vicious people in the world!" You have been kicked out of the house and exiled to another country, but this second uncle still refuses to let go of his niece, what a femme fatale! ”

If those two were present, Lin Archie would definitely be the first to raise his foot and kick them.

Xie Ai had already seen too much through this incident, but at this moment he comforted Lin Aqi: "You just believe in me like this, aren't you afraid that I'm talking nonsense?" ”

Lin Aqi's anger did not subside, and when she stared at Xie Ai with a pair of big eyes, she was startled.

"You look so good, how can you deceive people?"

Xie Ai was stunned, what is the reason? When he looked at Lin Shaxiang, he had covered his eyes silently, don't look at him, this fool has always been like this.

For more than a year, she has experienced a purgatory-like life on earth, sleeping through mountains and seas to eat raw meat, and tasting all kinds of things that she has experienced and have not experienced.

"In the past, I was afraid of the dark and ghosts, but it was only now that I realized that I was most afraid of people's hearts. My stepmother has always known to be wary of, but the second uncle has watched me grow up since I was a child and treated me like a daughter, but he didn't want to be this kind of person. ”

Lin Aqi smiled coldly: "Maybe your stepmother was also sent by him." ”

Xie Ai froze: "According to the information I have investigated, this is true. ”

"Hah!" Lin Aqi glared, "In this way, they have premeditated, and you and your father can't dodge it at all." ”

"yes." Xie Ai sighed slowly, "The world is unpredictable, and I never thought that I would end up here. ”

In the past, she traveled everywhere to learn how beautiful it was to do business, and she also went to the palace with her father to accompany the banquet, and the queen mother at that time was also the only reward for the Xie family, not the current Long family.

Lin Shaxiang put down the teacup, and a clear porcelain collision sound moved lightly, and then his leisurely voice came: "You haven't thought about getting back everything that belongs to you?" As far as I know, the Xie family has been losing money in the past year and has lost a lot of customers. ”

This is also the reason for the rise of the Long family.

"Sister Xie must have wanted to do it very much!" Lin Archie punched.

Xie Ai sighed, with an old man who did not belong to her age in her voice: "I naturally fantasized at the beginning, but I couldn't do anything, I ran in vain to make my father unfair and unfair to myself, but I couldn't do anything, nothing could be undone, I still suspected my father's death, my second uncle and stepmother's hands, and the actions of the elders and officials...... But I can't do anything, I can't do anything......"

In the end, I couldn't cry anymore.

Lin Aqi hugged her distressedly, the age difference between the two was only four years, but the things they experienced were very different.

"You can cry well, and when you cry, your heart will be happy."

Yes, life has never given her the opportunity to cry and grieve, once she was angry and irritated, and then she hid for life, until today, she met Lin Archie, she gently coaxed her, like a father who used to have a gentle temper, and said to her: If you want to cry, cry, in front of your father, Xiao Ai will always be a child.

But she has no father or mother, and she has no complete home since then.

At first, Xie Ai's crying was intermittent and very suppressed, but in the end, the girl's desperate and sad cries filled the entire house, and even the villagers passing by couldn't bear to look at the courtyard after hearing the sound.

The little lackey didn't know why, so he went around the little guest, whining and not knowing what to do.

Lin Shaxiang also remembered the old things, how could he not do anything? If you can take back everything and wash away your grievances, how can you live in seclusion here and be lonely for the rest of your life?

Lin Aqi was infected by her, and inexplicably remembered her life experience, she didn't have a father and mother, she followed her master and mother since she was a child, and some people with evil mouths said that she delayed her master's child-rearing, which disturbed her insomnia for several days. Fortunately, when the master heard about it, she scolded the man fiercely, and coaxed Lin Aqi to tell her the story for ten days before leaving home.

She is also the treasure of the master and the mother, and she is not a casual part-time apprentice as outsiders say. I think I am much luckier than Xie Ai, I at least have my own father and mother, and Xie Ai is really alone, and she has no relatives who love her anymore.

Lin Aqi finished coaxing her to cry, and it was almost noon.

Xie Ai's eyes, nose, and cheeks were red from crying, Lin Shaxiang had already gone out to buy vegetables, and there were only two girls and a puppy who had been anxious and wandering around in the house.

Seeing that the girls stopped crying, the puppy immediately stopped and bit the corner of Lin Archie's skirt.

Lin Archie picked it up and put it on his lap: "It is very human, it knows that you are sad, so it wants to coax you." ”

The little lackey said "Wang" twice at Xie Ai, and Xie Ai smiled embarrassedly.

"It's a shame that I'm crying like this."

"No shame, no shame! I didn't see anything, and neither did the little lackey, did I? ”

"Wow!"
