Chapter 1: Old Dreams
In summer, the most comfortable place in the entire Nanyuan is the Qushui Pavilion in the Thorn History Mansion.
The spring water flows day and night, and the ice is so cool that even a fan is useless, turning summer into spring.
Every time she comes back from outside, the maid Xiaoman is very happy.
She was really lucky to be able to serve the third lady and live in this fairy-like place.
However, the joy only lasted for a moment, and when she remembered the recent changes, she showed sadness again.
Not long ago, the owner of this mansion, Xu Huan, the assassin of Nanyuan, was out hunting, and his mount was frightened and fell off his horse, and he fell into a coma when he was sent back.
Xu Huan lost his wife in the prime of life, and only had two daughters under his knees. Although he has a younger brother, he is not very useful in business. As soon as he had an accident, the Assassin Mansion was suddenly in chaos.
Xiaoman was worried when he thought about it, the two young ladies had no mother, and if his father had three long and two short, he really didn't know what to do in the future.
Especially since they are still born with good looks.
Qushui Pavilion was close in front of him, Xiao Man put away his worries and hurriedly entered the house.
To her surprise, a beautiful girl was already sitting in front of the window, and the hazy morning light shone on her, as if the fairy in the painting had walked down.
"Miss," Xiao Man's voice softened in front of such a face, "why don't you sleep for a while?" It's still early! ”
In the past few days, the third lady followed the eldest lady, almost staying in front of the adult's bed, and saw that she had lost weight. It was the old lady who sent a message and told them to come back and rest for the night. But it was still bright on this day, she went out to get some food, and the third lady got up.
The third young lady Xu Yin turned her head when she heard the voice, stared at her for a long time, and hesitated to speak: "Xiaoman? ”
"Yes!" Xiaoman raised his head and waited for her to command.
Looking at this familiar face, Xu Yin finally had a sense of reality.
After killing Fang Yi, she fell into the fire of Liangchuan Station, thinking that this life was over, but she didn't expect to wake up and see the old scenery.
She doesn't like the heat of summer, and this Qushui Pavilion was specially built for her by her father.
So, she went back to the past, when she was still in Nanyuan.
Xu Yin laughed mockingly. Sure enough, God is afraid of the wicked, my sister is pure and kind-hearted, and she ended up full of infamy and not having a good end, and she will repay her, but she has a chance to start again.
She restrained her thoughts and asked Xiaoman, "How is my father?" ”
Xiao Man didn't know that the third lady was different from the past, and comforted: "Don't worry, Miss, Manager Ji has been guarding it!" ”
After getting this sentence, Xu Yin was settled.
Father is still there.
When she was fourteen years old, her father fell from a horse and was injured and fell unconscious. Nanyuan is the foundation laid by his father, and without him in charge, everyone from all sides is ready to move. After a battle between the open and the dark, Fang Yi finally won and temporarily took the post of assassin and took charge of the military and politics.
My father lay down for a year, and there was no doctor for the medicine stone, so he finally went. I thought that Fang Yi would marry his sister in Rexiao and keep the inheritance left by his father, but he didn't expect the thief to give his sister to the king of Dongjiang and change him to a bigger backer.
Xu Yin sneered.
Fang Yi was born in a poor family, if it weren't for his father's pity for Aicai, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to study. Later, he bothered to cultivate and intended to recruit him as a son-in-law. Unexpectedly, he looked like a benevolent gentleman, but at the end of the day, he peeled off the skin and bones of his benefactor's daughter and paved a splendid road for himself.
Well-dressed beasts, it's better to be!
Xu Yin took a deep breath and stabilized her emotions.
Now that she's back, naturally she won't let him succeed again.
Thinking so, she looked up and said, "Now that I am awake, I will go to see my father." ”
Xiao Man hurriedly lifted the food box in his hand: "Miss will eat first, right?" You can watch it for as long as you want, and you don't have to rush at this time. ”
Xu Yin thought about it, so he responded.
She had to take a break so that she wouldn't see her father and sister lose her temper.
After washing up and eating, Xu Yin took the girl to the main courtyard.
Facing the breeze, her face was empty, and she was a little unaccustomed. Since her disfigurement, she has been wearing a mask when she goes out. Sometimes, if you are not careful, when you see the appearance under the mask, you will be greeted with an exclamation of fear or curiosity.
No one likes to be seen as an evil ghost, but she is surrounded by ill-intentioned people, and she would rather be disgusted by others.
The main courtyard soon arrived.
"Third Miss." There were many people guarding here, and when they saw her, they all saluted respectfully.
Xu Yin nodded, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces.
A man of about forty hurriedly came out from inside and saluted her: "Third Miss." ”
Xu Yin couldn't help but smile and called, "Manager Ji." ”
Ji Jing, since the first day of his father's career, he has been with his henchmen.
The Xu family is not a wealthy family, the ancestors have only passed down hundreds of acres of land, and everything in Nanyuan is made by her father Xu Huan himself, and there is a credit to Ji Jing here.
After Fang Yi gained power, Ji Jing died. Later, Xu Yin remembered this and knew that he had died strangely. If Fang Yi wants to fully grasp Nanyuan, he has to erase the traces left by his father one by one.
The two of them talked as they walked inside.
"How's my father?"
"I just drank the medicine in the morning, and the doctor said it was stable."
It was to comfort her. It's very stable, but he didn't wake up, and his father's injury is not optimistic.
Xu Yin stepped into the room and saw the person sitting next to the bed, and his eyes froze.
The eldest lady Xu Si turned around and said angrily: "Didn't you let you sleep a little longer?" It's okay here, you don't have to guard it. Children need to sleep more to grow taller. ”
Xu Yin blinked her eyes, stepped forward a few steps forward to grab her hand, and called softly: "Sister." ”
She's acting a little unusually today. But when the family suffered a great change, Xu Si himself was also restless, and he didn't find anything wrong.
When her father had a sudden accident, she felt that she had to take care of her sister, and asked in a relaxed tone as much as possible, "Have you eaten?" Look at you, I saw sweat on my forehead, and I told you not to worry, there is a sister guarding here! ”
Xu Yin laughed, but grabbed it tighter: "Sister." ”
Xu Si thought she was scared, patted her hand soothingly, and said, "It's okay, father is fine." ”
Xu Yin nodded, leaned over, and looked at the bed.
Ji Jing took care of it carefully, on a hot day, there was no smell in the house, and the people on the bed were no different from weekdays except for being a little emaciated.
Xu Yin gently held his hand and whispered, "Father......"
She never thought she would ever see her father again. Even in the most beautiful dreams, I don't dare to think about it.
The life of her and her sister is divided into two parts, the one with the father is there, and they are the happiest daughters in the world.
If there was any regret in her previous life, it was when her father left, she was still too ignorant to protect him.
Now, she can finally do it.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and there was a sound in the courtyard, but it was the old lady who sent someone to ask about the condition.
Xu Si went out to reply.
Ji Jing still had to deal with affairs and wanted to retire, but was stopped by Xu Yin.
He looked at the girl in front of him, and while gently rubbing his father's stiff hand, he asked in a quiet tone: "Manager Ji, you might as well tell the truth, is it true that my father didn't wake up because of his injury?" Isn't it because of ...... Poisoning? ”
