They're finally gone.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind picked up. The wind grew fiercer and stronger, like countless monsters howling in her ears.

Her heart seemed to be torn apart, and now it was back together. She licked her dry, slightly salty lips and bit them with her teeth, biting out the blood without feeling pain. She looked up and looked vainly at the roof of the hall in front of her, the night elves dancing and the black veil left only a blank space on the front roof.

Ding Shujiao suddenly missed her mother very much, thinking about her thin body, carrying the heavy clothes that had been washed for others, and walking alone in the biting cold wind; Thinking that she was struggling to walk under the dim street lamp, her back was not straight, and her waist was bent; Thinking about the small sesame oil shop she worked hard to support alone.

No one can live in this world without fear of heaven and earth, everyone has armor and weakness, and this hard armor is often a person's weakness.

Mother, that is!

She tipped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The wind was stronger, whirring to the ground, like countless whips whipping her.

Ding Shujiao clearly understood that the eldest lady's abuse of her was nothing more than because she did not give birth to a child for the Meng family, but she consumed a ration!

Also, she has a serious marriage.

Even if there is such and such a contradiction, she can also solve it.

She didn't love this man, but when another woman walked into her marriage and took away her man, she instinctively became angry.

Her life became what it is today, and it was all because of the arrival of that woman.

She became more clear about her situation in this family:

There is no hope, only hatred.

The rain fell at some point, and under the moonlight, it was white, and the whole world was shrouded in misty rain and mist.

...

A few days later, it was another rainy day.

In the house, Ding Shujiao was wearing pajamas and slippers, standing alone in front of the window, listening to the raindrops outside the window falling down the eaves, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and couldn't help crying.

Her little stomach ached faintly, and for some reason, this month's period had not yet come.

She recalled what He Qingping said: "Could it be.. Pregnant? ”

She smiled wryly and shook her head slightly.

However, this news quickly reached the ears of the master, the ears of the eldest lady, and the ears of Meng Jiagui.

Just now, Meng Jiagui came, he hasn't come to her for some time, since Liu Peizhu married into the Meng family, her house has become a space to be left behind.

This time, Meng Jiagui came over and wanted to ask her this sentence: "Are you pregnant?" ”

"I don't know, there shouldn't be!"

"Oh! It's good if you don't have it I don't think you can give birth either! is born, who knows if it will be the adulterer's seed! Of course, I won't let a slut like you give birth to my child! ”

Meng Jiagui's words are heart-burning.

Ding Shujiao's body trembled, she originally had a trace of fantasy about him, but she didn't expect him to be so indifferent and ruthless to her.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear me, don't worry!"

She watched indifferently as he turned around and disappeared into the doorway, the anger that suddenly rose in her heart was like a rumbling earthfire, and she knew that one day, hatred would erupt like a volcano.

Yes, hatred is bare!

This home, what else can be nostalgic!

She's going to get out of here, out of this suffocating place completely.

Her tears, drop by drop, still fell uncontrollably.

Ding Shujiao ignored her father Ding Yuxi's pleading, but still found a temporary place to live outside, simply packed up her things, and prepared to move out.

She noticed that she didn't have a few things with her, and folded them back.

Passing by the small garden, Ding Shujiao heard

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Someone was chatting on the other side of the bush, and the voice sounded like a big lady.

"This time, you're satisfied! Our family likes you, and your days will be long in the future! ”

Ding Shujiao was startled, and tiptoed forward a few steps, looking over there through the gap in the bushes. As she expected, it was the eldest lady and Liu Peizhu who spoke.

"I just can't see anyone bullying you!"

"Big lady, no one bullied me!"

"You! You're just so kind! Without.. It is estimated that she will be lazy in our Meng family and not leave! ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Shh

The eldest lady made a stop motion, looked around, and when she saw that there was no one, she said, "There are some things that you shouldn't ask, so you don't need to ask!" Knowing too much is not good for you. All you need to know is that I have my own arrangements! ”

"Oh, I see! I said so! But.. It's too cruel to her! ”

"What's the solution! She's redundant in this house anyway! The lord didn't agree to kick her out of the house, and I was annoyed when I saw her! Well, by the way, Jia Gui has been having some difficulties in business lately.."

"I know, eldest lady, my father is ready to invest in our Meng family's industry."

"Great, with the help of Liufu, the Meng family will definitely have a prosperous business!"

"yes!"

"When, when you add another grandson to our Meng family, it will be perfect!"

Liu Peizhu lowered her head shyly.

After listening to the conversation between the eldest lady and Liu Peizhu, Ding Shujiao's brows twisted into pimples. Could it be that she designed and arranged that event? Let her bear the stigma and make her unable to stay in the Meng family? With a black face, she crept back.

She saw the scene just now and remembered it in her heart.

No wonder she was dizzy after drinking only a little wine that day; No wonder Zhou Xuan followed at an inopportune time, it turned out that someone was doing something ...

It's really poisonous!

Her heart felt like it had been hit hard by something, and it hurt so much!

It seems that Dad is right! She shouldn't have left the Meng family so easily, she couldn't have been so cheap with them!

Ding Shujiao looked in the direction of the garden and decided not to leave and move back!

Although Ding Shujiao's return to the Meng Mansion made the eldest lady very unhappy, no one could say anything about what Master Meng agreed to.

...

The sun shone on the quiet and slightly messy room, and when Meng Xichang woke up, it was already sunset. He let out a big sigh, and turned his head to see He Qingping sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair and dressing up.

Meng Xichang sat up and snuggled up at the head of the bed to look at her.

"Wake up!"

"Hmm!"

He Qingping wore a Hulan-colored printed silk cheongsam today, with a floral pattern on it. She combed her hair to the back of her head, pulled it high into a bun, and inserted a golden jade inverted lotus hairpin on it, a small but delicate pendant, and the luster of metal shone in her hair, setting off her beautiful face.

"This cheongsam is very beautiful, I haven't seen you wear it before, it's new?"

"I did it before, I wore it once or twice, and I kept it there! I didn't pay attention! Besides, my family's funds are so tight, how can I be embarrassed to make new clothes! ”

"Why are you dressed up so beautifully, are you going out?"

"Hmmm! Go to Mrs. Mine to play mahjong! ”

He Qingping packed up, stood up, took her handbag from the table and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

"What else does the lord command?"

"Go early and come back early, and call me by the way!"

He Qingping is gone.

After a while, Meng Jiagui came.

"I'm so bored when I'm lying down!"

Meng Xichang said, beckoned to Meng Jiagui, motioned for him to sit, got out of bed by himself, walked to the table, made two cups of tea, and brought them over.

"Dad, what are you looking for me?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

”

"The money owed to us by Fengyu Commercial Bank has not yet arrived?"

"Not yet!"

Meng Jiagui took the tea, lifted the lid of the cup, and took a sip.

"Trouble! Our funds are running out of turnover! In any case, the goods of our cloud clothes and satin line cannot be broken! Some time ago, I have already told you that the white boss of Shanxi Baixin Silk Village promised me that I could offset the painting and send the goods first! ”

"Is that travel picture you talking about?"

"That's right! Boss Bai is my cousin, and he is also very interested in calligraphy and painting! Now he is the only one who can help me with my urgent needs! You pack up and leave tomorrow! ”

"But, didn't you say that the white-clothed Taoist priest who gave you the painting said that the painting was a strange painting! Maybe it's priceless! Dad, are you really willing to go out? ”

"Well, Boss Bai, I still trust him very much! When I have enough money, I will go back! Just one thing, be sure to remember! If you go alone, be careful on the way, don't lose this painting! ”

Meng Jiagui nodded, "I know that if I lose this painting, it will be strange and disaster-struck!" It's just that I think it's just an ordinary painting, I don't know if it's really that powerful? ”

Meng Xichang patted Meng Jiagui on the shoulder, "It's better to be cautious!" ”

"Dad, I made a note of it! Let's go tomorrow! ”

(Off-screen)

At this point, the Taoist priest closed the book and looked up at the door of the bookstore.

Several people's eyes also followed him.

At the door, a person came in, a young man in a black shirt, wearing sneakers, jeans, and a black bud hat.

"Does the Taoist know this person?"

Lin Chen said in a low voice, and as he spoke, he turned his head, only to be surprised to find that the Taoist priest was missing again.

The fat man and Ye Jiangchuan were also stunned!

"This Taoist priest, don't say a word when you leave!" The fat man whispered.

"Taoist priests have always come uninvited and leave without saying hello, I have long been used to it!" Lin Chen snorted coldly!

"Hey! Don't look at it! That man, what's so nice to see! People dressed up like this are all over the street! ”

The fat man stretched his waist and saw Xu Aqi sleeping on the table next to him, he also let out a big sigh, picked up the book left by the Taoist priest and flipped through it at will.

Ye Jiangchuan picked up the pot in front of him, added hot tea to himself, blew it gently with his mouth, and said to Lin Chen: "Just go!" Talking to us, he suddenly disappeared without a trace! It's rude! This is a great disrespect to others! Even if you have great ability, you won't be able to! I really can't stand this problem of the Taoist chief! If it were an ordinary person, I would never have dealt with him again! You say, right! ”

"Hmm!" Lin Chen frowned and pondered for a while, moved his body forward, and said to the fat man and Ye Jiangchuan: "I think this travel map is very strange!" You think, I remember when the Taoist chief described this outing to us earlier, he said that it was a scene of a few children going out to play! On the painting, a few boys and a few girls are running and jumping! ”

The fat man put down the book in his hand and blinked his eyes, "Four men and three women, it seems!" ”

Lin Chen took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, as well as notes.

"Look! This one I found in the bag of a bleeding woman in the fantasy on the way out of Lao Mokou! This was found in the embroidered shoes that I picked up in the back mountain of Unfukuji Temple! This is what I found in the documents when I retrieved them from the company's filing cabinet. Aren't these patterns all descriptions of a few children jumping and traveling? ”

Several people looked at each other!

"That's right!" The fat man patted his head and said excitedly: "Meng Xichang didn't say that if this picture is lost, it will be strange and disaster!" Could it be that what happened to us may have something to do with the loss of this travel map? ”
