"I..."Jin'er's gaze was far-reaching, revealing a depth that didn't match her age, "I don't know why, probably because sister, you're really good to me." ”

If the approach at the beginning is to push the boat down the river, and the latter is to make use of it, then what about the end... Jin'er couldn't understand why she stubbornly wanted Qiaozhi to know the truth.

Obviously, I just wanted to use them at first, but I unconsciously paid sincerely...

Jin'er observed Qiaozhi's expression by candlelight, completely losing her previous appearance of pity and affection, leaving only coldness and doubt.

Jin'er smiled bitterly, if... How nice would it be if she hadn't told him the truth and hadn't let Pretty Eda discover her true, vicious self?

It's a pity that even if time goes against the clock and gives her another chance to make a choice, she may still choose to let Qiaozhi discover the truth.

Thinking of this, Jin'er took a deep breath and tried to show a smile that was no different from before, and then noticed a flash of disgust in Qiaozhi's eyes.

"Sleep, sister." She pretended not to care about Qiaozhi's gaze, and walked straight to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Pretty Eda gave her a deep look, and finally blew out the light.

Early the next morning, Wang Ci's servant knocked on the door of Qiaozhi.

Although I learned about Jin'er's unusual wrist last night, I didn't even sleep all night. But Qiaozhi still didn't feel at ease and handed Jin'er directly into Wang Ci's hands, she watched Jin'er get dressed, wash her face and comb her hair, and finally decided to accompany Jin'er over.

"I'll give you a ride." Noticing Jin'er's puzzled gaze, she didn't explain much, and even her voice was clear and cold, living up to the gentleness of the past.

Although Jin'er didn't say anything after hearing it, the whole person lit up, and the speed of his subordinates also increased a lot.

When she went out, Qiaozhi looked at the sky that had just dawned, and hesitated to knock on Bai Jian's door.

"Huh? You wake up so early? As soon as he knocked on the door, the door had already opened, and Bai Jian appeared behind the door refreshed, without the tiredness of being suddenly woken up.

"Or else? You think everyone sleeps until three o'clock in the morning, just like you. Bai Jian looked at Jin'er who was beside Qiaozhi with a smile, with a strange expression: "Congratulations to Miss Jin'er for getting her wish." ”

"Thank you." Jin'er lowered her head, "Thank you brother for your help before." ”

"Don't, you can't." Bai Jian pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered, "You have the ability to deceive a few of us, thank Miss Jin'er for her grace not to kill." ”

"Let's go." Bai Jian no longer looked at her, and only said softly to Qiaozhi, "Since you want to send Jin'er's sister on the last journey, then I will accompany you on a trip." ”

The twosome turned into a threesome, and the atmosphere became even more weird.

"Why don't you speak?" Bai Jian said suddenly.

Qiaozhi was slightly stunned, and just wanted to speak, she heard Jin'er's interface: "Brother, what do you want me to say?" Brother has already heard last night's conversation, is there anything else I don't understand? ”

"Wang Lone...," Bai Jian thought for a moment before speaking, "He is innocent. Your father said that he would leave him in the Taoist temple and let him fend for himself, but I don't think he would be like that. ”

"I know that." Jin'er softened her voice, "That meal was still my brother and sister who begged my father to invite." ”

"It's just—" Her voice suddenly turned cold, like an ice cube counting nine cold days, "It's already my soft-hearted not to let Wang Silence die, and my brother still wants him to return to Wang's house, so it's too much to worry about." ”

"You-" Bai Jian was angry, and he didn't dare to shout loudly because he took care of the little guy around him, but finally lucked himself and lowered his voice, "You do this, aren't you afraid that I will tell your father?" ”

"You won't, brother." Jin'er stood still and looked up at Bai Jian straight, "From the first time I saw my brother and sister, I knew that you wouldn't be high-minded. That's why I'm relieved to let you know who I really am. ”

She let out a long sigh and put her palm in front of her eyes, "Who wouldn't want to be a simple child if they could?" Brother Bai Jane. She suddenly turned positive, and her expression was not mature for her age, "If your own mother is killed by someone, and you have been living in dire straits, you will lose your life if you are not careful..."

"And the culprit of all this is simply because you are not a boy and cannot carry on the family lineage." Jin'er laughed self-deprecatingly, "Obviously she is the eldest daughter, but she is not as good as the children born and raised by domestic slaves, and she can't even protect her own mother-"

"Brother, do you know what it's like to see your mother die?" Jin'er whispered, her voice calm, she didn't look at anyone, it seemed that she was just talking to herself, just convincing herself.

"I watched her drink that bowl of deadly poisonous soup every day, but she couldn't do anything, and watched her get weaker day by day, and finally she could only lie in bed, unable to even straighten up." Jin'er smiled, "My mother is obviously in pain all over her body, she is in so much pain, but she will only say to me very gently, I'm fine." ”

"I watched my mother stop breathing, she was already very thin when she died, and her small body was curled up in a ball."

"Shen Yashi told me that I want to forget, I want to grow up by myself, and I want to learn to forget." Jin'er's gaze stayed in a certain place in the void, "As long as you let it go, as long as you forget, it seems that the past can be over..."

"How can I forget? Pretend that your mother has never been persecuted by your stepmother, or that you have always been loved by your stepmother? Or do you pretend that you have never been treated differently from Wang Lian? Jin'er said softly, as if convincing herself, "So I have to grow up, even if it's against my education." ”

"I'm sorry..."Qiao Zhi listened to Jin'er quietly, and was silent for a long time, but in the end she could only spit out these two words, so powerless.

Maybe it's because people really can't empathize with each other, Jin'er also told her about the past before, although she was distressed at that time, she never thought about it deeply... Only now did she know what Jin'er was enduring was under.

She complained about Jin'er's cold-bloodedness and was afraid of Jin'er's calm planning technique, but she never thought about what the root cause of all this was.

Bai Jian quietly listened to Jin'er finish everything, and finally didn't say anything, and walked forward in silence.

"Let's go." In the early morning breeze, only Bai Jane's sigh remained.

Wang Ci had already packed everything up, and sat quietly in the wing room waiting for Jin'er to come back and go down the mountain with her.

Last night was the first night he had ever experienced alone, and in this room he used to have, he would always think of Wang Xiao's giggling and the soft voice of the third lady at night... And yesterday, the silence was incomparable.

Wang Ci hardly slept all night, and for a while in his mind was the gentle words of the third lady, and for a while it was the appearance of her eyes burning with hope slowly losing their luster before she died. For a while, he lifted Wang Lin high above his head, and for a while, it became Wang Lian's screaming as he watched the third lady die.

It wasn't until dawn that these images gradually disappeared from my mind. He sat up straight from the bed, looking at the sunlight coming in through the window, at the dust that could not be hidden in the sunlight.

It's the first day of the brand.

He wants to forget all the humiliation he has suffered, and he also wants to forget his once beloved Wang Lin and the third lady... Now, he only has one child left, Jin'er.

Thinking of this, he got up and opened the door, and the sunlight outside the house sprinkled on him without hesitation. Shen Ya, who had been guarding the door, saw that he was awake, and hurriedly bowed down and asked him, "My lord, do you want to call Miss Jin'er back?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Ci nodded lightly, and said, "If Jin'er hasn't woken up yet, just wait." Wait, you don't go. He thought about it, called Shen Yashi back, and ordered another servant to go over, "You go and call Shan'er over." ”

It wasn't until Shen Ya was ordered to go to the firewood room that Wang Ci found that he had unconsciously used his original name. It's a terrible habit... He sighed faintly, and slowly crushed a broken weed at his feet into the soil.

Wang Lin arrived a little earlier than Jin'er, wearing only a thin white robe, shivering in the breeze. He saw Wang Ci walking towards him, his eyes were heavy, he trembled, and hid behind Shen Yashi.

Seeing Wang Lone's movements, Wang Ci silently stopped, stood not far from Wang Lone, and said, "Lonely, you can stay here in the future." Cultivate your body and mind and strive to be a Taoist. ”

"Daddy...?" Hearing this, Wang Lin realized something, and hurriedly ran out from behind Shen Yashi, wanting to grab Wang Ci's hand, but was dodged by the other party without a trace.

Wang Ci looked at Wang Lian, who was stunned for a moment, with a slightly cold gaze: "Silence, there are some things that shouldn't be told to you, but you always have to bear everything yourself." You're not my child, and I can't take you down the mountain. ”

"You should have lived in this Taoist temple since you were a child. Yesterday I consulted with the chief of the Shouwen Dao. Wang Ci no longer looked at him, "He has chosen a good name for you, but it is all empty." ”

"Wang Lin and her mother died in the Baiyun Taoist Temple, and only those who survived were all empty. Silence, oh no, it's all empty... Can you see what I mean? ”

"I..." Wang was confused, only knowing that he was about to be left behind, he grabbed the hem of Wang Ci's clothes, and said in fear: "Dad, I was wrong, don't leave me here..." Would you let me go back with you.. I'm not looking for you to kiss your mother! As he spoke, he snorted twice on the ground, "That's a slut!" She's not my mother! ”

Wang Ci quietly watched Wang Silent on the spot, but his eyes became more and more indifferent. Such a child, such a child who can be trampled on by his biological mother at will... How could it be my child? I was really completely deceived by the poisonous woman of the third lady.

He watched in silence at Wang Lonely's gibberish crying, the mole under his eyes became more and more dazzling, and the figures of the third lady and Steward Zhao fluttered back to him...

"Enough!" Wang Ci suddenly roared angrily, making Wang Lin so frightened that he was stunned and closed his mouth, "I said, I don't have a son like you. If you don't believe it, you can continue to cry and see if you will end up with your poisonous mother. ”

Wang looked at his angry father in a daze, and then turned his head to look at Shen Yashi, who shook his head with a complicated expression, signaling him not to say more.

"My lord, young lady, they're here." Shen Yashi saw the figure of the little servant from a distance and hurriedly spoke.

"Jin'er." Qiaozhi, who had nothing to say all the way, suddenly spoke, "I'll only send you here, your father is already waiting for you in front." ”

"I want you to cherish it." Qiaozhi said softly, "I wish you what you want." Good bye. After speaking, Qiaozhi and Bai Jian glanced at each other and left without looking back.

Jin'er looked at their backs in a daze, and took a step forward in vain, but said nothing.

"Miss... Let's go. The little guy next to him reminded.

"Okay." Turning around firmly, Jin'er walked in the direction of Wang Ci, this is where she should go.

No matter what the future holds, she will never regret it.
