A few more people next to him laughed: "If it weren't for the kindness of the master to take you in, I don't know where I would go to ask for food." ”

"That's it, it's brazen to stay here."

"If I had been, I would have committed suicide on a trouser belt hanging from a beam a long time ago, and I wouldn't have had an unclear reputation."

Over the past year, the original owner has been worried about Tan's father's case all the time, and has been treated maliciously in the house, the whole person has not yet been adjusted, and he still looks like a famine, he doesn't look like any meat, and his face highlights the appearance of a bit of a skeleton, the eyes are originally very good-looking, but at this time it is a little prominent on a face with no flesh, according to her usual cowering appearance, it will only make people feel weak and bullied, but now the look in these eyes is calm and a little cool when it slips over everyone who speaks, Everyone couldn't help but feel a little cold.

"When I walked from Toshiba County to Huachang County, I heard all the way, especially the closer to Huachang County, there were many people who praised Huachang County for making Lord Xu love the people like a son, that is, when he met an orphaned widow and orphan on the road, he also wanted to give away some money, if he met an old man with unfilial descendants, he was even more concerned about it, and severely reprimanded his unfilial children, Lord Xu himself was also extremely filial to Mrs. Xu, and he didn't think that Tan Ran was holding the marriage contract written by Mrs. Xu himself, but he suffered all kinds of ridicule in the house, and laughed at the name of the girl's family. Could it be that all the rumors outside are false! Tan Ran is not afraid of provoking the Xu family at all now, so he is very polite when he speaks.

Xu He at the other table suddenly looked ugly when he heard this, he has been an official here for ten years, and he is strange to do face-saving work, and he is shaping himself into a diligent and diligent Qingtian lord who asks for the people's life, and he can't see the silver on the table in the dark to receive a soft hand, it is with his good reputation among the people, the above only turns a blind eye, if he is told to bully orphan girls, then it will be fine.

He immediately drank: "What are you talking about, a few evil animals!" Don't hurry up and make amends to Miss Tan. ”

Several children were taken aback by the sudden angry scolding, and pulled their faces to Tan Ran to say no.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is to have a reunion." Xu Hewei didn't see the perfunctory expressions of several children, and said lightly: "Miss Tan, you also eat more, the reunion night is a lively picture, don't take the words of children to heart." ”

Lightly pointed out the fact that the reunion night and Tan Ran could no longer be reunited with their families, and took such vicious words as a child's joke, Tan Ran pinched his chopsticks, a good Xu County order.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended in the atmosphere of the people of the Xu Mansion deliberately alienating and snubbing Tan Ran, and Tan Ran and Mrs. Xu left after saying goodbye in advance, not wanting to stay there any longer.

She remembered that when she had followed that person before, there was a prefect in Yunjiang, and his reputation in the officialdom and folk was excellent, and everyone praised him for his honesty and dedication, who knew that he was indeed an extremely profligate person in private, and loved to eat ducks, but the general domestic ducks did not eat, and he ate ducks, so he had to first use the jar filled with Shaoxing wine, smash the bottom of the altar, fill in the ducks, and leave only the duck's head to stretch out of the mouth of the altar, and feed it with animal fat and rice, so after half a month, the duck meat is delicate and tender, and it is unspeakably beautiful. Others only say that the only hobby of a prefect's three meals is just to eat ducks, which is full of praise, but who knows that it costs more than a dozen taels of silver to raise a duck like this, and the top is a more relaxed family of six for a year's ration money.

Xu He is like people, they like to maintain the appearance of benevolence and morality on the surface, if he directly explained to Tan Ran that he didn't want to abide by the agreement, she might still look up to him, and she wouldn't blindly believe him, the original owner has tasted a lot of warmth and coldness since his father died, this teenage child, all of a sudden, tasted a lot of warmth and coldness, and found Huachang County at that time, but this future father-in-law who went to her house to eat wine and drink tea a month ago was the biggest official she knew, and the original owner didn't have much hope, thinking that if people were unwilling to help, She took out the marriage book and returned it to others, she just sued the royal court to go to Beijing, and she also wanted to return her father's innocence, but at that time, Xu He said how good, she promised to find out the truth for her father, and she would abide by the agreement to let Xu Qi marry her, how happy the original owner was at the time, he completely believed him, and then waited for a year, the matter of overturning the case was far away, and Tan Ran's reputation was getting worse and worse, Xu Fu was originally just waiting for a suitable time to dissolve the marriage contract, and Tan Ran was suddenly injured and suddenly sober, suddenly wanted to dissolve the marriage contract, which was in the arms of the Xu family.

She walked slowly, there were lights everywhere in Xu's Mansion tonight, and the maid who was originally staring at her also went back to the courtyard early to have a reunion dinner, and came to a courtyard with a rockery, which was the one that Tan Ran fell down before.

In my memory, a piece of her jade pendant was lost, and finally found on this rockery, almost all the silver money on her body was spent at that time, five hundred miles away, and she was begging to come over, but it was difficult to do so, and she did not become that jade pendant, you can imagine the importance of that jade pendant to her.

It was in a hurry to get back the jade pendant, she didn't check it carefully, she climbed the rockery, she thought it was the same as those tricks before, people just wanted her to be ugly, but she didn't expect the mountain rock under her feet to be pried, and this time it was fatal.

After Zhou Lu woke up from her body, it took several days before she gradually remembered the details of the time, she searched in the house for a long time, but she didn't find the jade pendant, the maid had been staring at it before, she couldn't come out, and now she can be regarded as having an opportunity, so she went to this rockery to take a look.
