In the past, she didn't mind raising a group of children of the Xiao family.

Gu Yuan's family was pressing forward step by step, and the Xiao family felt that he was understaffed in every aspect.

So she especially needed to recruit people to help her.

Xiao Lin and other Xiao family children are her natural helpers.

After the Xiao family dealt with the recent accumulation of the Xiao family in the main hall of the Xiao family, she transferred to the back house.

No one is dissatisfied with this, after all, the Xiao family is the one in charge of the Xiao family.

Old Man Xiao is just a puppet.

Not only the Xiao family, but also the Xiao family's group of sisters who got married would come to her when they had something.

The Xiao clan is like a spider holding a silk thread in his hand, involving many people, covering most of the nobles and nobles in the capital with a dense net.

After coming to the back house, the Xiao family first met his mother, now the patriarch's wife of the Xiao family, and the beloved wife of the old man Xiao.

From her appearance, it can be vaguely seen that she was also a beauty when she was young, and she is somewhat similar to Xiao.

In the end, it is not as bright and beautiful as Shaw's.

Old Madam Xiao's face was now full of wrinkles, wearing a rosin-colored gown, wiping her forehead, and her hands trembling slightly, no different from ordinary old people.

A few days ago, she was inexplicably seriously ill, and Mrs. Xiao's energy was not as good as before.

Seeing Xiao's still young face, she was both relieved and melancholy, and her voice was hoarse, "How can you come here today?" ”

At this time, even she didn't dare to offend the Xiao family easily.

Her daughter is better at planning than herself.

Back then, she was still able to give her daughter a word or two, but now she can't even say a few words to her daughter.

Shaw wouldn't listen to her advice.

"I'm fine when I see my mother's complexion."

Xiao affectionately tugged up on the quilt covering Old Madam Xiao's body, "Are you still using the decoction I found for you recently?" Thou art no better than any other, and if thou hast lost anything, send someone to speak to me. ”

"There are still a few pills that haven't been eaten, and when they run out, I'll have someone look for you."

Old Madam Xiao looked embarrassed, took Xiao's hand, and motioned for the slaves and maids around her to withdraw.

When only their mother and daughter were left in the house, she hesitated: "Recently, I have always dreamed of the people I used to have, daughter, I am afraid, afraid of retribution. ”

Xiao raised his eyebrows, "What nonsense are you talking about?" What retribution? ”

"Don't you understand retribution? It's the things I did back then, God has long eyes, you see, since we destroyed the Lady of the Pioneers, I want to give birth to your father a son, and give you a younger brother so that I can assist you in the future. ”

Old Madam Xiao's old face was a little more helpless, "I can't conceive by all means, even if I am lucky, I always have a miscarriage due to various accidents." ”

She is not in good health now, which is also due to three miscarriages in a row.

"We checked for a long time, but we only found out that it was an accident, your sister was not in the house at all, and she was married a long time ago. If she had the ability to be like a fairy, she would not be degraded from the eldest daughter to the concubine, and she was married to a straw bag by us. ”

"It's been so long, why are you mentioning it? There is no retribution, even if God sees it? Who doesn't want to live a better life, there are people above who are hindering, and they must move away, you and I have done a lot of good deeds over the years, which is enough to offset those things. ”

Xiao Shi is impatient to listen to the past, doesn't she want to be the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in the open?

Without those arrangements and calculations back then, they could only live in the back house.

Maybe she will be ruined by her mother-in-law's wife who is married to an abusive wife.

Indisputable, can she have today?

If she doesn't fight, can she get good?

If she doesn't step on people to climb up and kick away stumbling blocks, she will only be a mediocre woman now.

Retribution?!

God will only repay those who are stupid and do not know how to fight for it.

"Don't think about what you don't have, if Xiao Lin is not filial to you, I will abolish his position as the son of the sect. Xiao Lin's biological mother has long gone, and he was raised by your side, and he is no different from your biological son. ”

Old Madam Xiao moved her lips and said, "He and his daughter-in-law are very filial, and the girls in the family often come to accompany me, but ...... Daughter, I'm still afraid, Xiao Lin's mother ......"

"Mother, Xiao Lin's mother fell for that slut's trick herself, what does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Shi found that his mother was really old, and he actually recounted the events of the year, "She was jealous that Xiao Lin was young and favored, and was afraid that Xiao Lin would be born, so she used poison, planning to make a corpse and two lives, if it weren't for you, Xiao Lin wouldn't have survived at all." ”

Of course, when Xiao Lin's mother had an accident, Xiao was not yet born, but what she heard was like this:

"In order to save Xiao Lin, you also cut a piece of meat to make medicine."

"These are all major events written into the genealogy of the Xiao family, warning future generations not to marry jealous women, which is also one of the reasons why the mother can be corrected by her father."

“……”

Old Madam Xiao shook her head with a wry smile, pressed her forehead and said, "Xu is old, and I always feel that there are too many people who owe it." At the same time, I can't let you go, you...... You've got enough, daughter, be less calculating, do more good deeds, I don't want you to be the last ...... In the end, it ended up miserable. ”

Xiao Shi became angry when he heard the tragic ending, "Who am I calculating and calculating for?" Just for me? Without me, could the Xiao family be where it is today? Can they be clothed and fed? Even if I did something wrong, it was for the Xiao family! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Shi heard movement outside, she immediately got up vigilantly, walked to the window in a few steps, and suddenly opened the window.

The cool breeze poured in, and Mrs. Xiao couldn't stand the cold, and she coughed non-stop.

However, as if he couldn't hear his mother's cough, Xiao looked out the window carefully, and after about half an hour, Xiao still couldn't find any flaws.

Not even a cat appeared!

Could it be that she misheard?

Xiao closed the window, silently counted ten, and opened the window again, still calm outside.

After doing this two or three times, Xiao Shi felt a little relieved.

Maybe it's the wind.

But back to Mrs. Xiao, Xiao said: "In the future, don't mention these words again, there are many in the backyard, if anyone listens to it and causes a misunderstanding, it will not be good for you and me." ”

Old Madam Xiao coughed breathlessly, it was not that she didn't urge Xiao Shi to close the window, but Xiao Shi didn't listen to her.

"Good ......"

She could only nod her head, there was a little unspeakable sadness in her heart, and she would always feel empty in her heart for everything she had calculated.

No matter how good the decoction is, it can't cure her nightmares all night!

Her daughter is harder than her, and she is more ruthless than her.

I wanted to persuade my daughter to get along with Gu Yuan, but she couldn't say it anymore.

"Mother, you have a good rest, I have already sent someone to call the eldest sister, and it just so happens that I need her help with something."

"Daughter, let her go."

"Look at what my mother said, she is just a person who is attached to me to live now, if I don't see her, it will make her feel uncomfortable. I just asked her to do some needlework, they are all sisters, is this embarrassing for her? ”

“……”

Old Madam Xiao watched Xiao leave.

The eldest lady practiced needlework just for fun, but she didn't expect it to become a means for her to make a living, and Mrs. Xian would definitely regret it underground.
