Chu Xiaoxi said angrily, "What do you mean? Do you want me to go back and confess my sins? You think this bracelet belongs to Madame, don't you? ”

"That's not what I really meant, it's just a routine. ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "I don't care if you mean this or not, in short, this bracelet is a relic left to me by my mother, I can sit up straight and have a clear conscience, I won't go back with you, because I've already come here, I don't want to go back, you go back, just tell Mrs. I didn't find it." ”

The family member said with a look of embarrassment: "But Madame will definitely take me for blame." ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "She just asked you to search, but she didn't say that she had to be searched, so what crime did she ask?" ”

The family couldn't answer at once.

Chu Xiaoxi snorted coldly and said, "We are going to continue our journey, if we delay the trip, I believe you can't afford it." ”

When the family heard this, he had to hand her the baggage.

Chu Xiaoxi tied his burden tightly, and then asked the coachman to continue on the road. She didn't know if that family member would be punished when he went back, if he was smart enough, he wouldn't have told him about the jade bracelet he had found, and if he had to say it, he would definitely be punished.

But these have nothing to do with her, because the bracelet was originally hers, and she didn't take it at all, and if Mrs. Ji insisted on asking her to pay for it, she couldn't do anything, so she went on the road with peace of mind.

After leaving the city, the rest of the road was relatively peaceful, and nothing happened. The scenery on the road is also unremarkable, except for flowers and trees, it is a barren grass and wilderness, and gradually Chu Xiaoxi felt sleepy, so he lay on the seat and took a nap.

She was awakened by a jolt, and when she woke up and lifted the curtain to look outside, she found that they had come to a small town, and she cheered up, feeling a little hungry.

The carriage gradually stopped, and a person got out of the front car, came to her side, and asked through the curtain: "Miss, we have come to a small town, and it is almost dark, do you want to rest in this town, and continue to drive tomorrow?" ”

Chu Xiaoxi nodded and said yes, and then they entered the town.

The population of this town is not large, and the place is not very large, but it is quite lively, with all kinds of stalls on the street, selling everything. They were all a little hungry, so they found a random wonton stall, asked for a few bowls of wontons, and sat down to eat. After eating, they found a medium-priced inn to stay in.

Chu Xiaoxi had no way to see people because her face was bruised and swollen, so she covered her face with a veil and a hat on her head, so that her injuries were covered.

But because of her slender figure, the places she passed still attracted the sideways eyes of some people. Chu Xiaoxi was a little uncomfortable, because she was rarely paid attention to by everyone, so she hurriedly went upstairs and didn't go down again. The others were tired from the day and tired, so they all went upstairs to rest.

Most of the people who came out with her were to transport the bones of Chu Xiaoxi's mother and grandmother back to the ancestral hall in their hometown. Because Mama died, the Chu family did not match her with a maid anymore, so Chu Xiaoxi could only do everything herself, and no one helped her. But she is also used to it, she is a modern person, and she is not used to being served.

When she returned to her room, she took off her hat and veil, washed her face, and then poured another bowl of water to drink, and after drinking the water, she felt relieved. She thought that they had come here, and I believed that the people of the Chu family should not embarrass her anymore!

She is not a person who blindly goes against the grain, if she is reasonable, she will fight for it, she will never let it go again, if they dare to find it, she will confront them to the end. After making up her mind, she lay down in bed and rested peacefully.

As soon as she lay down like this, she fell asleep unconsciously, and it was not until the second morning that someone knocked on the door, and she woke up, and when she saw that it was already dawn, she looked at herself again, and she did not take off her clothes all night, and fell asleep like that.

She got up and tidied up her hair, and then went to open the door, and outside the door was the servant who was walking with her, and he told Chu Xiaoxi that he had gone down for breakfast, and he was going to hurry after breakfast. Chu Xiaoxi agreed, told him to go down first, then washed his face, changed his clothes, and then went downstairs, and after eating, they continued to hurry.

The rest of the road was basically very peaceful, nothing happened, and they were about to reach their destination, who knew that there was a sudden heavy rainstorm on the way, because the roads in the countryside were generally dirt roads, and when it rained, they were more muddy, so they could only settle down in a nearby town temporarily.

Chu Xiaoxi was a little anxious, because the rain had been falling for three days and there was no sign of stopping, and she was about to reach her destination, but she was going to be trapped here, could she not be in a hurry?

The few people who came with her were even more anxious, because they all had families, and if they were trapped here, their families would definitely be worried, and they would be scolded when they went back. But it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and they have no choice but to wait quietly.

On the 4th day, the rain finally lightened a little, and they decided to brave the rain to move forward, Chu Xiaoxi felt that this was a little inappropriate, because it had rained for three days in a row, and the road must be muddy, and if they insisted on moving forward, something might happen.

But those people were very anxious and unanimously asked to leave immediately, Chu Xiaoxi alone said that they couldn't be a group of them, so they had to agree, and then they packed up their things and left in the carriage.

At the beginning of the road was fine, although muddy, they could barely pass, but the further they went into the country, the more difficult the road became, and finally their carriage got stuck in a dirt pit, and they could not get out, so they took down the things on the carriage and beat the horses hard, but the wheels were too deep to get out.

Everyone was in a hurry, they pushed the carriage together, but they couldn't push it out, they were all so anxious that they scolded their mothers.

Chu Xiaoxi was a little unhappy in her heart, because she had already said not to go, they had to go, and now that the carriage was stuck in the pit and couldn't get out, she really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, a carriage passed by at this time, and the people in the carriage sensed that they were in trouble, and then stopped, and one of them got out of the carriage and walked in this direction.

This person was dressed in white, with an umbrella on his head, and he couldn't see what he looked like, but his movements looked fluttering.

He came to the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

When the servants saw him asking, they hurriedly said, "This son, our carriage has accidentally fallen into a pit,
