Ming Jin, who suddenly woke up at night, was in a trance, and when he saw the fine rain outside the window, he subconsciously worried about those precious books, and hurriedly got up and got out of bed, but as soon as his feet hit the ground, he touched the cold wooden board, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

How could she forget that she had already collected the books during the day, and she was in a daze of sleep this big night.

With her soft fingers brushing her cheeks, she went to the window to watch the light rain for a while, thinking of all these days waiting for her father's summons.

"Count the time, it's about the same."

She estimated that she would only be able to stay in this Wuling County for a while.

Speculating in the dark, but in the end the sleepiness swelled up, and he left it behind, just glancing at it, and without commenting on a silhouette that was purely stripped by the night light and rain.

It was an old mansion located at the foot of the mountain behind the ancestral temple of the Xie family, which had been abandoned for many years.

She didn't have a deep impression of it, and only vaguely felt that she had paid attention to that place when she was playing near Yunqian Tower when she was a child, but her grandfather was still there at the time, and she set a rule not to let it in, it was a forbidden place, and she didn't jump out of it to the point of challenging the rules, so she never approached.

Now it seems that no matter how forbidden the land is, it will become a wasteland.

It was gloomy and dark, like a ghostly place to sleep.

Since four years ago, Ming Jin has been a little disheartened by the unsearchable Xie family's secrets, and now he has only glanced at it, and he will not look at it again.

At this time, Xie Li also didn't sleep, and similarly, his wife Lin seemed to have a sleepless night.

"What, are you still scared?" Xie Li turned around and hugged his wife to comfort him.

"No, it's just that so many things at home are piled up in my hands at once, and I'm a little uneasy, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well."

Lin has always been a gentle person like water, sighed lightly, thought for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Although I haven't seen him for many years, and the change from child to girl has changed greatly, but I always feel that now Ah Jin's child is too heavy, as if this matter..."

At first glance, it seems that it was the arrangement between his husband and Xie Yuan, and Xie Mingjin's role was infinitely diluted.

But she couldn't forget what the other party said.

"Ah Jin, this child, is different from Adele and Mingyue, her mind is rooted in the whole family, I suspect that she is doing all this, one is temptation."

Xie Li and his wife have a deep relationship, and they are afraid that she will worry, so they solve their doubts.

"Temptation?"

Lin wondered.

"After testing for many years, whether these people in the family are as hopeless as those in the owner's family, there is still room for her to cherish."

Lin was stunned, looking bitter and guilty, "I remember that she and her sister-in-law were in a very bad situation back then, her mother was targeted everywhere, and her eldest brother was also busy with official business, so she couldn't shelter for a while, and we people... Actually, I didn't help much. ”

Xie Li patted the back of her hand, "Where do you want to go, I mean, she is measuring whether the people of the family are doing evil, and she is all the way to the Dong family, in fact, she has a very soft heart, very similar to her sister-in-law." ”

Lin suddenly nodded heavily.

The woman with a bright and broad heart back then is really unforgettable.

"And what about the second one?"

"Second...."Xie Li remembered Ming's words to separate his family for no reason, his brows tightened, and he said softly: "In order to make a break with my mother-in-law." ”

In fact, he was not sure, and he had never been able to see through the father and daughter.

But I can only coax my wife.

Lin was startled, and then sighed long.

"Actually, I don't understand, it's a close relative, why bother, a good person like a sister-in-law, although she is not from a family, she is not the first choice for her mother's first marriage, but she is so chic and atmospheric, she never embarrasses others, she does things neatly, and she loves it so much, just to avoid a gap with her only son, and she should give in...."

She is a mother, and she lives with herself, and she can't understand the old lady.

Xie Li suddenly covered her mouth, and Lin was silent.

She just wanted to say that the thunderstorm was so heavy that day, and the sister-in-law came out of the rain with a sword and a hat, and she didn't look back.

After that, he really never returned.

And then later.... Many people died in the Xie family, and it was the first time she saw the most terrifying appearance of the eldest brother of the husband's family, who was elegant and elegant and worthy of being the most beautiful man in the dynasty.

It's really like a ghost.

So later, when they returned to Wuling with their family, she was really relieved.

——————

Three days later, the official road from Luanxi Stream in Wuling County was busy with cars and horses, crossing the mountain and water roads, crossing the rocky beach, and gradually stopping at the bamboo forest disc outside the mountain stream.

The carriages and horses were taken care of, and the ladies of the gate dismounted, either accompanied by their husbands, or accompanied by young men who came on horseback, and the Ye family and other families were also the same.

When the merchants and peasants saw the long row of carriages of the mansion coming behind them, they all retreated, including a merchant who recognized the young woman who was pregnant.

"It's the young woman of the Li family..."

"Is it Li Yi's family?"

"It's also pitiful, I met such a catastrophe, and I was still pregnant with a child, I'm afraid I came to pray for blessings...."

The little people, as long as there is no conflict of interest, are willing to give to others and sympathize.

Besides, it is indeed pitiful to lose a husband when she is young and pregnant.

At least on the surface, it is unknown how to break your mouth behind the scenes.

The young wife of the Li family, Zhai's eyebrows drooped slightly, and she smiled warmly after her mother-in-law clenched her wrist, and as the servants retreated to the officials, she also saw some official wives and young ladies who got off the carriage.

"It's the Yejun guard." The Li family is in business here, so they naturally know that the county guards the door of the family, and they don't dare to go first, and accompany other people from Wuling County on the side to salute the Ye family.

The Ye family's mother, Wang, is not as hypocritical as the Zhang family, nor is she as gentle and restrained as Xie Li's wife, the Lin family, she is tall and tall, with a medium appearance, with a straight face and no smile, and her solemn body is terrifying.

As the main mother, she is not as good as a concubine, and she holds the power of the inner house majesticly and properly.

But such a woman is bound to be difficult to please the head of the family.

The pride or bitterness in your heart is known only to yourself.

Wang showed up with the support of his two daughters, and he did not respond to other people's greetings lightly, but there was turmoil around him, and when he turned his head, he saw Ye Qisi, who came down from the second carriage, meeting with other daughters, who were very enthusiastic and flattering.

How beautiful this concubine is, how can the Wang family not know, and no matter how high the lintel of the Ye family is, the concubine is still neglected and compared everywhere, but the concubine is so outstanding....

How ironic.

Wang narrowed his eyes, saw the jealousy and grievances on the faces of his two daughters, and couldn't help pinching the handkerchief, and no matter how he maintained it, the green tendons on the back of his hand showed some yellowish lines, but he finally endured it, and calmly responded to some women who were praised by Ye Qisi with bad intentions, and then a group of people were about to walk into the lively bamboo forest path.

Suddenly, another carriage was seen, and a more imposing guard opened the way.

This time, the Wang family and other officials probably recognized the other party's mansion, and they couldn't help but stop, such as the Li family, they respected them, and they also bowed their heads and respectfully respected each other.

Ye Qisi also saw the carriage of the Xie family, her eyes closed slightly, and the obedient people next to her also bowed down to the Lin family and other Xie family wives who were now in charge of the Xie family.

There was also a carriage that came to him, and first got down a round-faced and delicate girl, who had a rough temperament, impatient eyebrows and eyes, and was still complaining.

"You promised me, but you didn't come, and you have to teach me to keep my promise on weekdays."

Xie Zhiling, who was riding a horse on the side, frowned, and said coldly: "Who let you be coaxed by her?" No wonder. ”

"That's better than if she didn't want to coax, huh!"

The Xie family all knew that the relationship between the eldest daughter and the concubine was indifferent during this period of time, and they had never seen each other, and the former was not as tolerant and loving as the concubine, perhaps because of a conflict of interest.

The fair-skinned face suddenly floated with embarrassment, and Xie Zhilin shouted: "Xie Mingyue!" ”

"Call my sister!"

“....”

I learned this from Xie Mingjin! Why don't the rest learn?!

Xie Zhilu's white face was dyed with anger, and he flicked his whip, "Unreasonable!" ”

Xie Mingyue grimaced at him, and then rolled her eyes at the woman who got out of the carriage behind her.

Without him, just because of the appearance of this woman, all the daughters' skins and beauties became lackluster.

Including people like Ye Qisi.

"Ye Mingdai, the first beauty of Wuling." Quite a few people mumble to themselves.

All kinds of praise are endless, but most of them are aimed at beauty and skin, and nothing else.

——————

"This big family is not worrying." In front of the official residence, the Li family, who felt that they were a small family, watched those magnificent officials leave, and the young wife of the Li family, Zhai Shi, heard her mother-in-law sigh so emotionally, she twisted her slender and delicate willow eyebrows, and her eyes slid over some eye-catching nobles in front of her, and she said softly: "It's too much." Not all young ladies of the Maison are like this. ”

Old Madam Li seemed to have thought of something from her daughter-in-law's words, bowed her head slightly, and said no more.

The identity of that Miss Xie was secret, although she didn't dare to speculate at the time, but she inquired and guessed with the connections of the businessman later, after all, she still had a bit of a bottom, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Gratitude can only be pressed to the bottom of my heart.

"It's a pity she's not coming." The old lady sighed and left with the Li family.
