Chapter 1: Shock
The moonlight was heavy, the leaves fell silently, and in Luer Alley, the sound of the patrol rang out three times.
It's already the third watch.
The forest house at the end of the alley is still brightly lit.
The maidservant girl wearing a purple waist-pinching jacket, carrying a glass lamp, hurriedly walked through the verandah, bypassed a rockery pool, and finally turned into a courtyard in the west.
On the door plaque of this courtyard, there are three gilded characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - "Zangjiao Pavilion".
"Sister Suxin, what's going on outside?" In the Tibetan Pavilion, there were already a few maidservants waiting there.
The woman named Su Xin looked grim, handed the glass lamp to the maid beside her, and walked forward quickly, and said coldly: "Don't ask more about things that shouldn't be asked." ”
Several handmaidens looked at each other, and did not dare to speak again.
waited until Su Xin walked away, and then whispered: "Have you seen Su Xin's sister's face?" Is our uncle really going back to Xie's house? ”
"No, the old man of the Xie family abandoned his wife and children, and made his in-laws angry to death, my uncle won't be so unambitious, right?"
"You put it simply, what kind of family is the Xie family? Even if my uncle is ambitious, will he let go of a good young master and continue to be a son-in-law in our house? ”
"What Qiu Xiang said is that even if you don't mention your uncle's opinion, there is a huge difference between the Xie family and the Lin family, if Master Xie wants to forcibly bring your uncle back, what can our master do? I just pity our young lady, I'm afraid I can't stand the grievances of the Gaomen compound. ”
"This is good, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the Xie family doesn't recognize this family business!" Qiu Xiangya said coldly.
"How dare they?" Several handmaidens changed their faces, and one of them said excitedly: "The children have been born, do they still want to deny it?" What's more, when our young lady gets married, who doesn't know who doesn't know in the entire Ruyang City? ”
"That's it! Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at the relatives of the young lady and the uncle, how did they want to deny it? Even if Master Xie is a big official in the capital? In everything, we must speak the king's law! ”
*******
Oh, Wang Fa?
Su Xin entered the main room with a solemn expression, and when he walked to the inner room separated by a pearl curtain, he suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, adjusted his state, lifted the curtain, and walked in with a smile.
The room was quiet, and there was only a woman in her early twenties sitting on the edge of the bed, she was the eldest lady of the Lin family, Lin Qingyue.
She wore a plain blue thin silk undershirt, her black hair was scattered, her skin was snow-white, and she was stunningly beautiful, but at this moment her face did not have a trace of vivid color, but was full of melancholy.
Su Xin's eyes were red, and when she remembered what the old man of the Xie family had just heard in front of the hall, she felt as if she had fallen to the bottom of an invisible lake, which made her feel cold.
They deceive too much, they deceive too much!
"Su Xin, are you back?" Lin Qingyue just realized Su Xin's existence, and quickly turned her head, and a glimmer of light finally appeared on her beautiful face, "What do you say?" How did my dad and Mr. Xie talk? ”
Looking at her young lady's expectant look, Su Xin's throat choked, and she couldn't speak.
Lin Qingyue sensed that something was wrong, hurriedly stood up, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it that my father and Master Xie have not negotiated? ”
Su Xin knew that she couldn't hide things, not to mention that there were some things she didn't say, and the young lady knew about it from elsewhere, so she was afraid that she would be even more sad and desperate, so she gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, Master Xie still insists on bringing his uncle back to the capital, he said that his uncle is the blood of his Xie family, and it is impossible to let his uncle go outside." ”
Scold? Lin Qingyue's eyes widened, she didn't expect this official from the capital to be so shameless!
When he abandoned his wife and children, why didn't he think that he couldn't let his son be left behind? If it hadn't been for the Lin family's rescue, how could Xie Xuan still have a chance to live?
"Where's Uncle? Did my uncle agree? Is he going back too? Lin Qingyue seemed to still have a glimmer of hope.
However, Su Xin's answer disappointed Lin Qingyue again.
"Uncle, uncle also agreed......"
Lin Qingyue took two steps back in disbelief, her eyes full of shock.
How so?
Her father-in-law Xie Xuan was nine years old when he was taken in by the Lin family, and he began to remember, he knew very well about his father's behavior of abandoning his wife and children, he hated his father so much when he was young, how could he go back to the capital with his father?
"Uncle Xu is for revenge." Su Xin was afraid that Lin Qingyue would not be able to bear it, so she hurriedly explained: "After all, Master Xie is now a third-grade official, and if my uncle doesn't go back with him, I'm afraid that I won't be able to avenge my in-laws' wife for the rest of my life." ”
Xie Xuan's biological mother died of depression, she lived all her life in the pain of being abandoned by her husband and could not extricate herself, before she died, she did mention that she wanted Xie Xuan to find her father to seek justice for her.
Could it be that Xie Xuan really wanted to avenge his biological mother?
Thinking of this, Lin Qingyue's face softened slightly.
If her husband really made such a choice to avenge his biological mother, she could understand it, because she would never believe that the person next to her pillow would be a spineless and inflammatory-prone villain.
"It's just that, do I really want to take Baosheng and Gillian to the capital with him?" Lin Qingyue sat down in a daze, and was also in a dilemma.
She didn't want to be separated from her husband, but she didn't want to leave the home where she had lived for more than 20 years and go to a completely strange place with her husband.
What's more, it is said that the people in the capital eat people and don't spit out bones, how can she, a weak woman with a pair of young children, deal with it?
Su Xin looked at her appearance, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, their young lady was so kind and beautiful, why bother to let the people of the Xie family abuse her? ! If my uncle can't protect Miss, what will Miss do with him?!
"Miss, don't think about this, Master Xie doesn't want you to follow your uncle back to the capital at all, he doesn't recognize you as a daughter-in-law at all, he said that you are the daughter of a merchant and not worthy of your uncle, and he has already shown your aunt a suitable person in the capital, so he is waiting for his uncle to return to the capital and use eight sedan chairs to marry someone to enter the door!"
A bolt from the blue.
Lin Qingyue's beautiful face was suddenly bloody, and it was as white as paper.
After a long while, she came back to her senses, and said in despair: "No, no, I don't believe it, I'm going to ask for clarification, I'm going to ask them for clarification!" ”
Lin Qingyue pushed Su Xin away and stumbled out.
"Miss!" Su Xin was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but there was no way out, so he could only chase him out.
The room was quiet again.
At this time, a little person sleeping on the carved bed suddenly opened her eyes, her grape-like eyes blinked, but there was no innocence in her eyes, only calmness and composure that did not match her age.
Mr. Xie......
The left waiter of the household department - Xie Chen.
