Behind the Xiao Mansion in the south of the city, there is a lotus pond, and there is a pavilion in the center of the lotus pond, which is a good place to talk.

Mei Xiaoren walked across the curved bridge with an umbrella, and his steps were very slow.

The grandfather and grandson were already waiting in the pavilion.

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't seem to want to see her, so she sat at the stone table and turned her head to look at the other side of the lotus pond.

She, a grandmother, has never been willing to see her and her father, if it weren't for Xiao Lin, I'm afraid that she wouldn't pull down her face and come here with Xiao Ru.

When she walked into the pavilion, Xiao Ru pushed the old lady, "Grandmother, Sister Mei is here." ”

Mrs. Xiao looked up at her, with a smile on her face that had just been squeezed out, "Xiaomei, you're here." ”

Xiao Ru didn't mention her secret to her family, only said that she had been playing in Xuanzhou City these days, and she happened to have a way to save Xiao Lin.

Mrs. Xiao asked, "Since you came to Xuanzhou, why don't you go home and sit?"

"I don't have much time, get down to business." Mei Xiaoren said.

Although there is a veil to cover it, the grandfather and grandson can also hear that Xiao Mei's attitude is very indifferent when they listen to the voice.

"Xiaomei, I heard Aru say that you are still blaming your grandmother, blaming your grandmother for being unfair to your father and mother back then"

Old Mrs. Xiao was sitting, she was standing, and she looked down at her and said, "I heard that you didn't know that I was blaming you before."

Mrs. Xiao retracted her gaze with some embarrassment and half-lowered her head.

In fact, they have always known that there is not much contact between the two families on weekdays, and Xiao Mei's father is a loving person, as long as they are kind to each other, Xiao Mei's father will not tear his face with them.

But Xiao Mei is a different child, she is much tougher than her father, and she is not such a good talker.

They didn't care in the past, it was because Xiao Mei was a daughter and would not have any future, but who knew that now only Xiao Mei could save her baby grandson, which made her almost regret her intestines.

"We are a family, and all the mistakes are my fault as a grandmother." Mrs. Xiao blamed herself, and said slowly, "Your father has a soft temperament, but he has a business mind, so your grandfather planned to hand over the family business to him, but unexpectedly, your grandfather died suddenly, and before he had time to deal with the family business urgently, I became greedy and wanted to help your uncle get all the property."

Mei Xiaoren said indifferently: "Didn't you get what you wanted, the family business of the ancestors of the Xiao family is in the hands of my uncle, and my father didn't take a penny of silver." ”

"Yes, I'm sorry for your father, and I also know about your mother, your mother is a rich businessman's daughter, and she is used to living a life of fine clothes and food, and when she saw that your father didn't get any of the family property, she left you after making a big fuss with your father." Old Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Xiaomei, if you want to blame this matter, you can't blame us entirely, you are a sensible child, and you must be complaining about your mother in your heart." ”

Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to look at the lotus pond, unwilling to answer Mrs. Xiao's question.

"And Xiao Song, your mother was born prematurely when she gave birth to him, and his foundation was already weak, we didn't expect him to be" Old Lady Xiao lowered her eyes and sighed, "Yes, I shouldn't be so ruthless, so that your father didn't even have the money to treat Xiao Song after he left home." ”

Old Mrs. Xiao took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "This is all the knots in your heart, blame me for being too greedy, but I was also afraid of being crushed by your own grandmother when she was alive, and I was afraid that your father would treat me and your uncle harshly." ”

Xiao Ru followed and persuaded: "Sister, your uncle also said, let's release our past suspicions today, and we will be a good family in the future, if my uncle wants to move back to Xuanzhou, we will give him the best yard in the house, and my eldest brother and I will also honor our uncle as we honor our father." ”

Mei Xiaoren sneered: "Why did you go before the ice release, I used to ignore it, but now that Xiao Lin is in prison, you will come to release the suspicion with me."

"Yes, it's us who are wrong, we don't shed tears when we don't see the coffin" Old lady Xiao knelt on the ground tremblingly with a cane: "Xiaomei, grandmother knelt down for you, please save Lin'er, if he dies, I won't be able to live"

Mei Xiaoren

just glanced at Mrs. Xiao and said lightly: "Get up, don't let your family say that I am a junior bullying you." ”

"Grandmother, get up, don't embarrass Xiaomei." Xiao Ru helped Mrs. Xiao up while persuading.

Old Madam Xiao looked around again and said hurriedly, "Xin'er and Ying'er, bring them over quickly." ”

Xiao Ru beckoned, and two children, a man and a woman, ran over at the other end of the curved bridge.

The two children rushed to Xiao Ru and called for their aunt. Xiao Ru led them to look at Mei Xiaoren and said, "Quick, kowtow to the little aunt and call the little aunt." ”

The two and a half children knelt down and kowtowed to Mei Xiaoren, shouting in a childish voice, "Little aunt." ”

Without Xiao Ru saying it, Mei Xiaoren could also guess that these two were Xiao Lin's children.

"They haven't grown up yet, how can they be without a father," Xiao Ru lamented.

Mrs. Xiao also shouted with tears in her eyes: "Xiaomei, you can save your cousin, and your grandmother will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life."

The two children were frightened, and threw themselves into Mrs. Xiao's arms and shouted for their ancestors.

Mrs. Xiao reprimanded: "Don't beg me, go and ask my aunt to save your father." ”

The two children turned their heads and knelt down for her, crying and crying out to her to save their father

Mei Xiaoren took a deep breath, didn't say another word, slowly turned around, and left.

Late at night, Mei Xiaoren was obsessed with official affairs after returning to the mansion in the afternoon, and he was busy until now before returning to the house.

She was holding an umbrella with a bag in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw a half-sized figure sitting on the steps outside the door, it was Feihua.

"Childe." Feihua greeted him and said, "Gongzi Chu came in the evening, but you weren't there, so he said he would come back tomorrow." ”

Zizi and Feihua knew Chu Yu, but Mei Xiaoren explained that they couldn't tell others about Jinzhou, so Feihua waited for her at the door so obediently, just to quietly tell her that Chu Yu had come.

Feihua wanted to help her carry the baggage, but she only gave Feihua the umbrella to hold.

Seeing that it was a new umbrella, Feihua opened it curiously and looked at it, and the umbrella was painted with two vermilion koi. Feihua said happily: "This umbrella is so beautiful." ”

"Let's play with it." Mei Xiaoren smiled slightly and touched Feihua's head.

She saw that the silver hairpin on Feihua's head was old, so she took out a beaded hairpin from her burden and put it into Feihua's bun to replace the silver hairpin.

Mei Xiaoren didn't give the ancestors of the Xiao family an answer yesterday, maybe she had the intention of not being able to kill in her heart, so she went to see Xiao Ru and Old Lady Xiao, wanting to hear what reason they could have for letting Xiao Lin go, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to convince herself not to let Xiao Lin deserve it.

After a night, she still couldn't make any decisions. On the one hand, the Xiao family begged each other, but she didn't eat their set; On the one hand, there is the bitterness she has tasted. Even though Xiao Lin was not the culprit who tied her, what he hoped for was her death.

She had never hesitated to deal with any of the criminals before, because they had nothing to do with her, but now this one was different; If Xiao Lin knew who she was, would he hesitate like her, instead of killing her

Chu Yu said that he would come today, so Mei Xiaoren asked the government for a day off and waited for him in the mansion. She sat in her study, still flipping through the indictments with the paper.

If she reported this crime, Xiao Lin would definitely die.

In the courtyard, Feihua sat under the cloister next to the house gate, playing with the paper umbrella that the son gave her yesterday. She opened her umbrella and turned around, and suddenly saw a person walking outside the door of the house, and he was looking at her.

Feihua took the umbrella and owed it according to the etiquette she had learned: "Young Master Chu." ”

Chu Yu didn't pay attention to the flying flowers, but the umbrella. He approached, picked up the umbrella that Feihua had put down, and looked at it, the pattern was the same, and the umbrella was also new.

"Where did the umbrella come from" Chu Yu lowered his head and asked Feihua, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the beaded flowers on her head.
