Chapter 3
Maybe her mother was also afraid that she would be wronged in the future, so she left such a valuable bracelet to her.
For fear that others would snatch the bracelet away if they found out, they didn't say anything about it, but only quietly told Chu Xiaoxi, who took the bracelet out of the baggage, looked at it carefully, and then carefully stuffed it in.
Her heart felt a little sour, but also a little sweet. In modern times, her family is not happy, her parents have long been divorced because of incompatible personalities, she lives with her father and stepmother, and later her stepmother gave birth to a son, let alone her status, so she usually lives in school and rarely goes back.
In the area of family affection, she can be said to be missing, but she didn't expect that when she came here, she hadn't even seen her biological mother's face, and her father was like a father who wasn't her, and never cared about her. Only one grandmother loved her and died, and now there is this bracelet left as a memorial, she must cherish it.
She felt that none of her relatives in the 21st century would miss her, and they would not feel sorry and sad for her death, so she would live a good life here in peace of mind in the future, as for her boyfriend and best friend, she didn't want to, because they all hurt her deeply.
She hopes that when she arrives in the countryside, she will be able to start a new life and no longer have these disturbing entanglements.
That night, Chu Xiaoxi didn't sleep well, because her whole body was in great pain. She even had a nightmare, dreaming that she was beaten by Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaobei together, she woke up from her sleep, and when she saw that it was just a dream, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
On the morning of the second day, they were about to leave after breakfast. They had a total of two carriages, Chu Xiaoxi sat on one and the others took the other, and the subordinates loaded the things they wanted to bring into the carriage one by one, and then Chu Xiaoxi sat in.
The people of the Chu family basically came out, except for the eldest lady Ji, but they did not come to see them off, but supervised the people to load things into the car, for fear that Chu Xiaoxi would take away something that should not be brought. And the reason why Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaobei came out was to see Chu Xiaoxi's decline, because yesterday the two of them did their best to teach her a good lesson.
When they saw Chu Xiaoxi's face swollen into a pig's head, they couldn't help but laugh.
Chu Zongren was very surprised when he saw Chu Xiaoxi's face, and asked her how she did it, Chu Xiaoxi looked at Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaobei, and said that he accidentally fell.
Chu Zongren immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't blame his two daughters, he just blamed Chu Xiaoxi for being careless, leaving and making such a ghost.
Chu Xiaoxi just listened indifferently, and didn't feel too uncomfortable, because she had long been accustomed to other people's groundless accusations, even if it wasn't her fault, she had to talk about her in the end, she was used to it, even to the point of numbness.
Chu Zongren didn't bother to talk about her, she was already leaving anyway. He asked someone to load everything into the car, checked it again, and then urged them to go.
Chu Xiaoxi also wanted to leave here earlier, she just symbolically nodded to her so-called relatives, and then put down the car curtain. She thought that she might never come back in the future, and even if she did, this place would be a different place, and she really didn't have any nostalgia for this place.
The carriage drove slowly, gradually leaving the gate of the Chu family, and then drove in the direction of leaving the city. Chu Xiaoxi sat in the carriage, still a little unsteady in his heart, and always felt that he would not leave so smoothly.
Sure enough, after a while, someone caught up with their carriage and told them to stop, Chu Xiaoxi was a little puzzled, so she opened the curtain and looked out, she saw a member of the Chu family riding a tall horse, stopping in front of their carriage, talking to the horseman.
After a while, the man came to Chu Xiaoxi and said, "Third Miss, I'm really sorry, I want to check your baggage." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said in surprise: "Why do you want to check my baggage? ”
The man said, "It was ordered by Madame, for she found that one of her very valuable jade bracelets was missing." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said angrily: "What's the use of looking for me when the bracelet is gone, and I didn't take her bracelet." ”
Jia Ding said: "Madame said that I searched everywhere in the house, but I didn't find it, I was afraid that the third lady was accidentally wrapped in her own baggage, so she asked me to come and see." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said angrily: "I have never been to Madame's room, how can I take her bracelet?" Don't spew blood. I'm leaving, so why won't they let me go? ”
The housekeeper said with an embarrassed face: "I am also acting on orders, Third Miss, you have always been kind-hearted, don't be embarrassed by the small one, let the small one search it, so that I can go back to the errand, otherwise, you also know the temper of the lady, she will definitely punish me heavily." ”
Of course, Chu Xiaoxi understands Ji's temper, she has always been short-tempered and ruthless, as long as her subordinates make a little mistake, she will punish them heavily, and sometimes she can't get out of bed for several days.
She took pity on the housekeeper and said to him, "Okay, you can search it." Then he handed over his baggage.
At the same time, she was a little worried, because there was indeed a jade bracelet in this baggage, but it was left to her by her mother, and she was afraid that this family member would misunderstand that this bracelet belonged to Mrs. Ji, so she was worried.
The housekeeper thanked her very gratefully, and then took her burden and began to rummage, and after looking for a while, he found the jade bracelet inside, and took the bracelet out of the box, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "This is a memorial left to me by my mother. ”
Jia Ding said: "But how could it be so coincidental that Madame happened to lose a jade bracelet and found another jade bracelet here with you?" ”
Chu Xiaoxi said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Can't I have a jade bracelet? My mother is also a lady, and she is on an equal footing with Mrs. Ji, why can't she have a bracelet? ”
Seeing that she was angry, Jia Ding hurriedly said, "Third Miss, I didn't mean that, I just asked." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said, "Then can you let us leave now?" ”
The housekeeper looked at her in embarrassment and said, "I need to take this bracelet back and ask Madame if it is hers." If the third lady is not at ease, she can go back with me. ”
