He almost didn't directly point out that Bai Po was here to deal with dirt.

After all, the only connection between Bai Po and this dark alley is that she has sold dirty things, and she really trades in something shady, and Bai Po doesn't have the money to get the forbidden objects of the imperial court.

However, Xiang Yeqi was still puzzled, she had clearly allowed Bai Po to take away the dirty, why did she come here with things overnight to make a move?

Wouldn't it be possible to go to the pawnshop for more silver taels?

Could it be that Bai Po is doubting her intention to let her go?

Or is it ......

Is there anything in Bai Po's hands that can't be taken off in the pawnshop, and can't let herself know?

Xiang Yeqi followed closely with great care, and together with Bo Zhaoxu, he hid under the roof tiles on the side by taking advantage of the dim sky, ready to face an underground pawnshop that could not see the light.

What catches your eye is a dilapidated family.

The window is still paper-paste, and it has been smashed by the wind and snow with many holes, and now it will only be used.

There was only a palm-sized place in the room, but it was crowded with children of all ages, and by the broken table and chairs, sat a woman in rags and coarse clothes, holding a burning candle with a crooked candlestick, and the white woman said: "Mother, why did you come so late?" ”

Mother?

Bai Po still has a daughter? Xiang Yeqi almost thought that he had missed inquiring about something, but since Mrs. Xiang married to Xiangfu, Bai Po has never left the house for half a step except to buy what she needs, where is the time to have children?

The plank bed, which seemed to sleep only two people, was crowded with six emaciated children sleeping, and a thin mattress was spread beside the bed, which the woman herself should have slept on. The wooden bed shook, and there was a child who pretended to be asleep before he could sleep, so he cleverly jumped out of bed and ran to the side of the white woman.

He looked like he was in his teens, but his body was thin like a five or six-year-old child, lying on the white woman's lap and coquettishly: "Mother-in-law, did you bring me candy to eat this time?" ”

The white woman took out her pocket, and it was empty.

It was the empty pockets that reminded her that this time she had come differently.

Bai Po had no choice but to touch the little boy's head: "Mother-in-law forgot this time, I'll bring you candy next time, okay?" Mother-in-law will make a note first, and next time she will bring more sugar to Dian'er. ”

The little boy hummed happily and whispered, "Okay! Then I'll wait for my mother-in-law to come next time! ”

The woman took the little boy into her arms and said angrily: "Dian'er, mother-in-law can't bring you good food every time she comes, when you bring it, you have to thank your mother-in-law, when you don't bring it, you shouldn't take the initiative to ask your mother-in-law for something, it's rude like this, and your mother-in-law will be sad." ”

The little boy obediently responded, and the woman comforted the white woman with confidence: "Mother, don't get used to him, it's okay for children to eat less sugar, and your legs and feet are not convenient, so come less in the future, there is no light in this alley, it is damp and cold, I am afraid that your leg disease will be committed again...... The ladies and ladies of the Xiang family treat you so well, you can retire in Xiangfu with peace of mind, I will wash a few more clothes, and I will be able to take care of the children. ”

The woman's words really pierced Bai Po's body directly.

How can she go back to the house now?

But he didn't say any sad grievances, and instead put the package on his lap, picking up the jewelry stolen from Xiang Yeqi one by one.

Bai Po squeezed out a far-fetched smile, but comforted the woman: "It's nothing, I don't worry about these children, while my legs and feet can still move, it's good to come and see more, otherwise when the children grow up, they won't be able to remember me as a mother-in-law." You can put these things away, sell them another day, and live in another place......"

The woman only wiped her tears, "Mother's ......"

"Crying for what? Crying as if you are going to part with life and death, not good, not good, and children, how can you cry in front of children! ”

Bai Po said angrily, "You forgot, a house just collapsed two years ago? Plus I left you those a few days earlier, buy a house for the children to live in, it's enough! My legs and feet are not good, and I really won't be able to come a few times in the future, so I want to take care of you, so as not to be ashamed of the eldest lady. ”

The eldest lady she mentioned at this time, Xiang Yeqi didn't need to think about it to know, she was talking about Mrs. Xiang, not herself.

So, do you know a thing or two about this matter?

But where can I ask about this?

I only heard the woman in the house shirk with the white woman, and even asked: "Mother, something is wrong with you!" Tell me what's wrong? You've never been here so late, you've come so late, and you're going to give me so many things all at once, tell me what's going on? ”

In the middle of the night, how can anyone go out if they have nothing to do?

Not to mention that Bai Po's legs and feet are inconvenient, and her eyes are not bright. 600

Seeing that the candle was only a finger long, it was burned to the point that only a pool of wax oil remained, and the white woman finally broke the string, and couldn't stop crying, and the woman accompanied each other to persuade tears......

Before she could cry twice, Bai Po was frightened by the figure that appeared outside the door, and knelt down: "Miss......"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down with the white woman.

Xiang Yeqi: "You stole things from Xiang Mansion just to pass them on to her?" I really don't understand, what are you doing this for? ”

The white woman wiped her tears and didn't dare to speak, but the woman explained: "The slave family is a righteous daughter adopted by the white mother-in-law, suffering from a strange disease, her husband died early, and for many years, it is the mother-in-law who has sponsored us, and the children who sleep on the bed are all orphans in distress at home, so I adopted them and took good care of them." ”

Bai Po nodded in acquiescence, and said: "When Mrs. Xian was alive, she also knew about this, but after Mrs. Xian left, the monthly money of the slave became less and less, and it had to be like this. At the beginning, Dian'er was seriously ill, and as soon as Lang Zhong opened his mouth, it was hundreds of taels of silver, and the slave was anxious, so he agreed to the woman of the Najia family and gave her the wife's marriage letter. ”

Speechless for a moment.

Taking a step back from each of Yeqi and Bai Po, she settled Bai Po and the woman and the children to live elsewhere, and the only requirement was that Bai Po should completely cut off contact with Jia Xiuyan.

The next day was the day when Mrs. Xiang took the mother and son of the Jia family to the ancestral home of the Xiang family, so that the family could "recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors".

Old Madam Xiang put all her hopes on Xiang Yeqi's body, so she endured this step, and what she said was very reliable, even Jia Xiuyan believed that Old Madam Xiang really wanted their mother and son to change the surname of the Xiang family.

Jia Xiuyan was a little uneasy, and poured out all of it on Jia Xing's body: "I heard that this old lady Xiang is a master who is not easy to mess with, but now she is so easy to speak......

Jia Xing calmly leaned back on the chair, not caring about Jia Xiuyan's worries at all: "The old lady's time is short, so naturally she is confused and can't be confused anymore, she is very easy to deceive." After today, this Xiang home is in my hands. ”

Jia Xiuyan was even more surprised when she heard her son's words, and faintly felt that this sounded very strange. Especially thinking of Jia Li, who had no news for several days, Jia Xiuyan's heart was as chaotic as if something was going on, and he was extremely bottomless.

Seeing her depressed face, Jia Xing vowed and said: "What is the eldest lady of the Xiang family, she will not survive today!" When I recognize the name and surname of the Xiang family, the property of the Xiang family will be mine. ”

After noon, a group of carriages and horses rushed to Xiangfu's old home.

The elders of the clan looked at the mother and son of the Jia family and pointed at them, but they still believed in the old lady's so-called "own methods", and did not say anything more on the bright side.

But on the second day, it was the gift of recognizing the ancestors.

Jia Xiuyan repeatedly stared at the road into the town, but he didn't see the Xiangjia car and horse that should have appeared at this time.

If there is really anything to Xiang Yeqi, she doesn't care at all, but her daughter Jia Li is also in the carriage of the Xiang family, and there is no news so far!

Seeing that he had missed the hour for a long time, Jia Xing instead evoked a smile.

This sly smile finally fell in Jia Xiuyan's eyes, forcing her to grab Jia Xing's sleeve and ask, "Okay, do you know what's going on?" You tell your mother, what's wrong! ”

Jia Xing indifferently brushed away Jia Xiuyan's hand and said indifferently: "You'll know later." ”

After staying for a long time, Xiang's carriage and horses did not arrive at the agreed hour.

The elders of the clan asked and asked the old lady, but they only looked at the old lady and shook their heads: "The junior missed the time, what can I do?" Wait. ”

Jia Xing lifted the hem of his clothes and stepped forward to arch his hand: "Grandmother, now that several clan elders are here, you might as well give a big gift first, so as not to miss the set hour, Sister Li should be able to understand." ”

The elders of the clan read that this was a "family matter" for the old lady, so they naturally agreed and only listened to the idea made by the old lady alone.

Xiang asked the old lady instead, "What's the hurry?" Can I send you back? Yeqi is a queen, and being able to come today is also to reward your mother and son's thin noodles, but you said that you will salute if you don't wait for her to come, and you don't chill people's hearts? This is where it goes, honestly wait! ”

Jia Xing was so angry that he secretly clenched his fists, slipped into the corner behind the dim wall while no one was looking, and slammed into the dead tree beside him.

There was a thud, and half of the dead leaves fell.

The blood mixed with wood chips flowed down from Jia Xing's fingers, Jia Xiuyan wanted to comfort him, and it could be seen that the cold smile on Jia Xing's lips could be seen, and Jia Xiuyan was really afraid and didn't dare to step forward.

Jia Xing trembled excitedly, and said with a smirk: "Xiang Yeqi, you damn woman...... That's what happens when you go against me! ”

Hearing this, Jia Xiuyan didn't dare to let Jia Xing go at all, she grabbed Jia Xing's arm violently, and asked sharply: "Okay, what are you hiding from me?" Tell your mother about it! ”

Jia Xing's eyes were gloomy, he held Jia Xiuyan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, she is against our mother and son, I just let her die!" Not only her, but today, those Xiang family members who went up the mountain have to die, and their deaths are unknown! That's what happened to them against our mother and son! ”
