Three years ago, He Mian'er was sixteen years old, with outstanding appearance, and she was also well-known in Beijing, but she was contemptuous and became Xu Yunqing's concubine, how could she not know how many people ridiculed her behind her.

However, who else but her remembers that she was there to repay her kindness.

She was only eight years old at the time, but she was mischievous. Once outside, after getting rid of the maid at home, she accidentally fell into the water, and it was Xu Yunqing who saved her at that time.

She remembered that she wanted to give him a jade pendant as a thank you. He smiled and refused.

At that time, she swore that in the future I would marry him to repay her kindness.

He smiled and said, "Okay, little girl, I'll talk about it when you grow up."

This is eight years, these eight years, she doesn't know who his surname is, he is the son of the He family, but she is waiting for him wholeheartedly.

Until, she met Xu Yunqing.

She was beaming with joy to make good on that promise. Unfortunately, he had long forgotten about it and was extremely disgusted with her.

……

On the second day, in addition to cooking and sprinkling the trivial chores of the house, He Mian'er was busy copying Buddhist scriptures, but her sister-in-law saw her hard work and asked Shaodong to bring her a cup of tea.

Because she didn't have time, in the afternoon, the old lady took Shaodong out for a stroll and bought groceries by the way.

It's just that after she came back, the old lady's face was covered with dark clouds, and she didn't say a word even at dinner.

He Mian'er knew that something must have happened, and this matter had something to do with her. Just ask the young Shaodong, probably can't ask anything.

He Mian'er has always been restless.

Sure enough, after dinner, the old lady called her into her room.

In the room, the oil lamp was dim, and the old lady was left sitting alone at the table, silent.

This oppressive atmosphere can't help but remind He Mian'er of a similar scene three years ago.

At that time, less than half a year had passed since Xu Yunqing's accident, and the old lady was sick in bed every day because of this incident, and her hair was almost gray. When she was asked to go in, she didn't say a word, just like today.

She was nervous and took the initiative to ask what was going on, but in exchange for a reprimand from the old lady.

After listening to it for a long time, she realized that the old lady was asking her if she wanted to find another way out, and said that if she wanted, she could immediately write a letter of resignation and send herself away.

She was still immersed in the news of Xu Yunqing's death at that time, and she was sad for his death, so she almost went with him, how could she think of leaving the Xu family.

That night, the old lady forced her to swear an oath, and she was relieved.

Later, the old lady dictated that she wrote the first letter of resignation in her life, but it was written to Xie Wanqing.

It's almost Qingming season, and the night begins to thunder.

He Mian'er didn't take the initiative to speak this time, but the old lady sighed and said, "I remember three years ago, it was such a night, I forced you to swear, do you remember, what did you say?" ”

He Mian'er was stunned, it was the first time in her life that she was forced to swear, so she naturally remembered.

"I swear, I am a person from the General's Mansion in life, and I am a ghost in the General's Mansion in death, and I will be widowed for Xu Yunqing for the rest of my life." In fact, there were some vicious curses behind her, but she couldn't say it.

The old lady suddenly coughed violently, He Mian'er was about to get up to serve, but she waved her hand and refused.

The old lady coughed for a while before she spoke: "Mian'er, it's my old woman who can't stand you." ”

"Old lady, what are you talking about", He Mian'er was more and more surprised.

"When I went out today, I heard all the people say, you don't have to be taboo about that oath, it was forced by my old woman to send it, it doesn't count, even if there is any retribution, they are all coming to me." The old lady looked tired.

"You are still young, and I don't want to drag you down for the rest of your life because of our Xu family." The old lady continued.

He Mian'er never thought that the old lady who forced her to make a vicious oath three years ago would be able to say such words today.

"You don't have to hide it from my old woman, although I am old, my heart is not blind. That kid is obviously interested in you. The old lady then said with a somewhat tired face.

He Mian'er realized that something was wrong, "What young man?" Old lady, who do you listen to? ”

The old lady waved her hand, "Mian'er, you don't owe anything to our Xu family." When the Xu family was still the general's mansion, you didn't have a little light, and now there is no need to sacrifice yourself for us. I saw that although the young man surnamed Zhu was from a poor family, he was of good character after all, and if you wanted, you don't have to take care of us. ”

He Mian'er knew that the incident at noon today was still seen and reached the ears of the old lady. "Old lady, there is no such thing. I have already decided that I want to raise Shaodong with all my heart, and as for the rest, I haven't thought about it. ”

After getting along with He Mian'er for so many years, the old lady also knew that she was a person who had everything to say, so she put her mind at ease and showed joy.

To be honest, in the current situation at home, if He Mian'er wants to leave, it will really be unbearable.

"It's a pity that my family Yunqing is unlucky." The old lady sighed, "I married such a good daughter-in-law of you." ”

"No, old lady, if it wasn't for him, where would I be today." He Mian'er immediately told the old lady about Xu Yunqing's rescue of her.

She had always feared the old lady, but she had never spoken of it. Today, in order to make the old lady feel relieved, He Mian'er took the initiative to tell this story.

Unexpectedly, when the old lady heard the whole story, her face was cloudy.

"How old were you?" The old lady, who had always been calm, actually showed great interest in this matter.

"It's about eight years old, and it's summer." He Mian'er replied honestly.

"Yun Qing really told you, wait until you grow up?" The old lady asked for some reason.

He Mian'er nodded affirmatively, and then said with annoyance: "Who knew that his words didn't count later." ”

"It seems that God blesses you," said the old lady with emotion.

He Mian'er also continued: "God bless." ”

………

In order to finish copying the Buddhist scriptures before the Qingming Festival, He Mian'er didn't sleep peacefully for several days.

Finally, at noon the day before Qingming, I finished copying all the Buddhist scriptures.

She didn't dare to delay, only ate two mouthfuls of food hastily, and then carried the Buddhist scriptures to the Puhui Nunnery in the south of the city.

Approaching Qingming, the nunnery is very busy, and even Mingxin is not guarding the door.

He Mian'er walked to Master Ming's meditation room familiarly, and when she walked to the door, she seemed to hear the sound of someone talking inside.

"Mrs. Shi, I'm here." In order to avoid secrecy, she deliberately raised her voice and shouted.

Master Ming opened the door very quickly, and after inviting her in, he immediately turned around and went out, and closed the Zen door by the way.

She turned around, and when she was dazed, she heard a familiar voice from behind her. "Mian'er,"

She didn't have to look back to know that it was her aunt's cousin - Chen Ziren.
