Chapter 14 The thin figure in the ancestral hall
The two of them argued from time to time, Qingzhi has been kneeling quietly, even though her legs and feet have long been numb, she has not sat and knelt for a while like the two sisters.
Since she was taken to the ancestral hall, she hasn't said a word, and she will leave for Bianjing tomorrow, she hasn't even been out of the courtyard gate in the past two days, but trouble still comes to the door. She didn't regret helping her second sister come up with ideas, but her situation in Xie Mansion was like this, because she helped her second sister, she provoked a scolding from her mother and a slap from Xie Qingrui.
In Xie Mansion, the more you want to stay out of the matter, the more you are involved.
At that time, Zhou Xiaoniang and Yuan Xiaoniang finally got the permission of the old lady to come to the ancestral hall to pick up the two girls back, Xie Qingrui was supported by the handmaid little kite, and left the ancestral hall slowly.
Zhou Xiaoniang was waiting at the door, Xiaowei went in to pick up the second girl, Xie Qinghan asked, "What about the third sister?" Didn't the second aunt send someone to pick it up? ”
Zhou Xiaoniang coughed, and gave Xie Qinghan a look, but Xie Qinghan still said: "Is it that the second aunt doesn't know......"
"Second sister, you go back first." Qing Zhi interrupted at the right time.
Zhou Xiaoniang glanced at Qingzhi gratefully, came in and took Xie Qinghan away.
The ancestral hall was quiet all of a sudden, so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of the candle flame could be heard, Qingzhi moved her legs, and the numbness eased for a long time before it subsided, and the redness and swelling on the left cheek subsided a little, but it still hurt hotly to the touch. Ah Xun and Xiaolian stayed outside the ancestral hall, it was really cold at night, Qingzhi asked them to go back, but they refused.
Xiaolian sighed on her hand and rubbed her hands, and Ah Jing saw that she was thinly dressed, so she said, "You go back first, I'll just guard here." ”
Xiaolian shook her head: "It's better for you to go back, you will leave tomorrow, if you don't rest well and get sick again, the girl will have no one to take care of, anyway, I'm staying, let me keep watch for the girl for another night." ”
Xiaolian said, her eyes gradually turned red, Ah Jing knew that the girl couldn't leave her this way, so she didn't refuse, but she didn't leave for long, and she came back in the night, with two more cloaks in her hands.
One was taken in and given to the girl, and the other was draped for Xiaolian with her own hands, "Don't worry, I will take care of the girl, and even your share will be done." ”
Xiaolian nodded vigorously, but she was worried about the girl: "It's all this hour, the eldest girl and the second girl must have gone back to sleep, only our girls ......"
Ah Xun shook her head lightly: "The girl is bitter, let's hurt her more, but there are some things that I can't say." ”
Qingzhi couldn't hear the words of the two outside the ancestral hall, at this moment she was wrapped in the cloak sent in by Ah Jing, kneeling on the futon, the candle flame in the hall flickered and dimmed, and the sound of the cold wind howling outside came from time to time, she hugged herself tightly, and still couldn't stop trembling.
In the middle of the night in February, it was biting cold in the empty ancestral hall, and Qingzhi simply sat on the futon, hugged her knees, and buried her head in her knees. The voice of Xie Qingrui and Xie Qinghan's argument seemed to be still in her ears, and in the blink of an eye, only her cold and thin figure was left in the ancestral hall.
Sixteen years on, she has long been used to it.
It is customary for sisters to be punished by their grandmothers for their mistakes, and they are also used to having nothing to do with her, but she is punished the most every time. Zeng's family didn't care about her, and it was impossible for her to plead with the old lady for her, Qingzhi understood it since she was brought to the ancestral hall, but she was still a little sad.
If A-Niang didn't go to give birth to her dystocia, if she also went with A-Niang......
