Just three months before Xia Li was born, it was also the month of the thirtieth year of Zhenqing, when the emperor died a few days ago, and the current emperor had just succeeded to the throne, Qiu Jili received a secret order not to go out immediately.

Qiu Jili was afraid that the Qi family would hurt Yang An'an and the child in his womb, so he begged Mrs. Tai and asked her to protect his wife and leave the capital as soon as he returned.

Mrs. Qiu was also afraid of the Yang family's two lives, so she had to temporarily leave the Buddhist hall. She was afraid that the house would not be safe, so she took Yang Anan to live in Zhuangzi.

Yang Anan felt that the Qi family had been in charge of the Hou Mansion for more than 20 years, and Mrs. Tai might not be able to get her, afraid that she and her children would be killed before Qiu Jili went home, so she arranged for Xia Ju, who was not a child of the family, to leave the mansion. said that Qi would try his best to kill her and the child in her belly, not only because Qi didn't like her, but also for three reasons. First, only when their mother and son (daughter) are dead, and the Yang family has no one, can all her dowry completely fall into the hands of the Qi family. The second is that the Qi family always feels that Qiu Jili is separated from him because of Yang An'an, and only by getting rid of Yang An'an can his son completely follow the Qi family. The third is that the Empress Dowager Qi doesn't like the Yang family, and the Qi family will definitely find a way to drive her wish.

Yang Anan also handed Xia a hairpin she had brought and a jade plaque given to her by Qiu Jili...... and told Xia an amazing secret, Qi did not have children, and Qiu Jili was not Qi's biological son. More than twenty years ago, with Qiu Ze's support, the Qi family pretended to be pregnant and took the son of one of Qiu Ze's concubines. This incident was later discovered by Mrs. Qiu, and she quietly told him and Yang Fan when she sent Qiu Jili to Yang's house. And the Qi family didn't know that Qiu Jili already knew this secret, and often staged the mother's filial piety with him......

For the sake of realism, Xia Ju, who "had no intention of harming her master and almost had a miscarriage", was beaten with twenty boards, and let people sell her with her deed. Xia Ju was "bought" and hid in Tongxian, which is more than 100 miles away from Beijing.

Xia Ju stayed in Tongxian County until the end of April of the New Year, and Uncle Yang suddenly came to her with Xia Li, who had just turned a month, and said that the eldest grandmother was in danger and the child was temporarily brought over. If the grandmother can hold on until the uncle comes back, Xia Ju will go back with the child. If the grandmother dies first, she will secretly carry the child back to her hometown......

In mid-May, Uncle Yang came to Xia's with infinite sadness, saying that grandma was ...... The uncle didn't come back a few days ago, and he died three days ago. said that she hanged herself because the child died, and asked Xia Ju to escape quickly with the little master......

"The eldest grandmother knows that the girl is not dead, and she is waiting for Qiu Jili's return, how can she leave the girl to commit suicide, she must have been killed by the Qi family...... I didn't have time to be sad, so I hurriedly took the girl back to Xiangjiang by boat the next day...... In order to let the girl win the attention of my father, I made up the words that the girl's father is Xiucai...... In the first few years of Xiaowa Village, I was still looking forward to Qiu Jili avenging my grandmother, so that I could take the girl back to Beijing to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. But eight years ago, Uncle Yang came to Xiaowa Village to see us in the name of buying tea in Xiangjiang Province. He said that the girl would never go back, because Qiu Jili, who had suffered a thousand cuts, actually married Qi's niece......"

Xia Shi cried while talking, crying very sadly, afraid that Xia Ju would hear it, so he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and his low sobbing voice sounded terrifying.

Xia Li also cried. For the little lady Yang An'an, who was just sixteen years old, for the little original owner who had died early, and for the Xia family who dedicated his youth and love to protect the lord......

The two hugged and cried for a while, and Xia said with tears in his eyes, "This hairpin was left by your mother, she was red for ten miles, but she only left you this one thing, and the rest were occupied by the shameless woman of the Qi family." This jade plate belongs to Qiu Jili, no matter how ruthless and unrighteous he is, there is always his blood in your body, so take it as a thought. ”

Xia Li gently rubbed the hairpin with the fingertips of his thumb. When Ye Feng told her about the Yang family and Yang An'an before, Xia Li only sympathized with them. At this moment, she has a sense of belonging, feeling that it is a relative she has never met, and that kind of intimacy should be bubbling in her body and spreading throughout her body.

In the mist of tears, she seemed to see a young daughter-in-law who was a little similar to her, with this hairpin, touching her big belly, thinking painfully about her relatives who died and left the cliff, anxiously looking forward to the return of her husband, thinking about how to give birth to the child smoothly, how to let the child live safely......

Sixteen years old is the flowery years in the mouth of people in the previous life, just entering the first year of high school, looking forward to the future of beauty and unknown. But Yang Anan spent it in pain, anxiety, panic, and fear, and his life finally stopped at this age.

She called softly, "Mother." ”

Xia wiped his tears and said, "Lili, you should know why I don't want you to marry Ye Feng, right?" In the gate of the mansion, if the mother-in-law doesn't like it, she can kill her daughter-in-law casually. Also, if your identity is discovered, not to mention that the two Qi clans of the Qiu family will find a way to kill you, the Empress Dowager Qi will not let you go......"

She thought of Xia Ju again, sighed and said, "What's the matter, I think Ju'er is likely to be Qiu Jili's concubine." If that happens, what are we going to do, will anyone find out? It's really not good, let's hurry back to the countryside, stay away from Lord Ye, he has dealings with those big officials, don't be found out about them......"

She likes Xia Ju, but she is even more reluctant to let Xia Li get into danger.

Xia Li wiped away his tears. After hearing so many things, she was even more determined to go to the capital in the future. She is not fighting alone now, there is Ye Feng behind her who will become stronger and stronger and is not afraid of the women of the Qi family. She should be the mother of the original owner and the original owner...... No, it's her mother in this life, Xia Ju, the Xia family seeks justice and cleans up the big and small Qi family, especially Qiu Jili's pseudo-old lady. Take back the dowry of the little lady, and what Xia Ju deserves. and Qiu Jili, the scumbag, didn't let his life be any better...... As for the Empress Dowager Qi, doing it against her involves politics, and she doesn't have that much ability for the time being, it depends on the attitude of Ye Feng and the Ye family......

But now that she didn't dare to say these words, Xia was already frightened.

Xia Li got up and took out a box in the cabinet, put it on the bed, opened the box, and took out a jade plate.

Xia shook his hand and took it, comparing it with another jade plaque. There is a difference in the texture and size of the two pieces of jade, and the texture of the jade plaque preserved by the Xia clan is much better than this one, and it is also smaller. But the word "li" on it, the font, size, pen edge, convex and concave are almost exactly the same. This is a jade carving, and no mold can pour out exactly the same words. Even if it is engraved by the same person, it is not easy to carve it so similarly if you don't pay attention. This word, at first glance, is deliberately engraved exactly the same.
