Chapter 7 The Maiden
Xia Li has been mentioning it since she asked Chu Han to find her eldest brother, she is very afraid that this eldest brother will not come back, her father will not return, and the eldest brother will not return, she is now injured, and she doesn't know if she can avenge her mother.
When she came outside, she saw the first cold running from a distance, and then she looked closely at the girl who was no one behind her.
I was anxious, could it be that this brother didn't even come back after his mother died, although she didn't let Chu Han say this, saying that his mother was in trouble, but this matter can be big or small, if this person doesn't care, it's really okay.
"Miss, I'm back, how is your injury, are you okay?" Before the first cold arrived, he said.
"Where's my brother? There he is? Didn't come back? This is the thing she is most anxious to verify.
"No, Miss, the eldest son, he's back, it's just ...... was stopped by the eldest master at the door and went to the front study"
"What?" It's really hateful, people's mothers don't come here to do their filial piety first, what kind of uncle is this, although it is her father in her previous life, but there is no difference if she is a stranger.
In her previous life, she became a killer and never complained about this father like this, but now as Xia Li, she was extremely disappointed in her parents in her previous life, but she didn't expect these two to be such people.
In the end, it's not that I didn't expect it, it's just that I don't dare to think about it.
"Forget it!" Whether this eldest brother can come or not is his own business, and if he really can't come, he can only be upset for his mother.
After the half-pillar of incense, the loss in his heart was filled little by little, and Xia Li heard the sound of talking in the distance.
It seems to have come, but it was late.
In Xia Li's memory, he didn't spend a long time with this brother, because his brother usually studied in the academy and rarely went home, and the opportunity for the brother and sister to meet was only for the New Year's holidays, and there were almost no days when they usually met like now.
Xia Li listened to the footsteps of this person and entered the house, this brother has become gloomy since he entered the mourning hall, and even his wheezing sound is a little eager, it seems that this person is not ruthless.
Hurriedly walking by, she looked up and saw a man in dark blue in front of her, who had walked to the spirit and was looking at her mother in the coffin in a daze.
If she didn't look closely, she wouldn't have found it, the eldest brother's body trembled, his hands clenched into fists, and the slightest beads of blood had flowed out along the gaps between his fingers.
It's not that it's not sad, it's just not as obvious as it seems.
There is no greater sorrow in life than the pain of family affection.
Xia Li was moved by compassion, got up and walked over and said "big brother"
Xia Ye turned around when he heard the voice, and said palely, "Sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that I have something to tell you" Xia Li wanted to explain what he had just seen from his mother to this brother.
Xia Ye didn't continue to say this, and said, "Uncle said that you are not in good health, go back to rest first, and leave it to my brother here!"
Xia Li was in a hurry, "I'm not bad, I'm very good" She was in a hurry and spoke a little loudly.
Xia Ye frowned after hearing this, in his impression that his sister had never spoken so loudly, she had always been gentle and gentle, and her voice was soft like water, like a mother.
Just now, the uncle said that Li'er was stimulated by his mother's death, and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Li'er, there are still brothers and fathers!"
Xia Li would think like this now, she really has something to say to this brother, and she will definitely have long nights and dreams after a long time.
"Brother...... I really have something to say to you, you go out with me."
Xia Ye nodded worriedly, his sister had never spoken to him alone before.
The two came to a corner of the mourning hall and avoided the maids.
Xia Li didn't want to bother anymore, and said there: "Brother, I suspect that my mother didn't fall into the river and die at all, but was murdered, so you go and report to the official!"
Xia Yechang is the same as Xia Li, not at all like the father of the two, Xia Zhi'an, but like the mother of the two, tall and tall, looking like Xiuya, not like the other men of the Xia family who look rough.
Hearing his sister's words, his face was suspicious, and he said with a worried expression on his face:
"Little sister, don't be like this, I have heard the cause of my mother's death from my uncle, it was because it rained last night and fell into the water, and the maid Xianchi next to my mother can testify"
"The maid next to my mother? She's there now, why haven't I seen her?"
"She jumped into the river to save her mother and got a cold and is sick in bed!"
Xia Li will believe that "impossible, she is lying"
Xia Ye shook his head sadly, "Little sister, don't be like this, your mother's death was just an accident, you haven't rested for a day, this brother is guarding, you go to rest first"
Xia Li wanted to say more, but obviously he didn't want to listen anymore, so he called Chu Han to help her go.
She really wanted to open this person's head to see what was inside, her mother was dead, and she didn't even suspect it, and she said what a maid to prove it.
"Chu Han, is there a maid named Xianchi next to my mother?" I can't even remember if the memory of the original owner is gone.
"There's a free pool, what's wrong, Miss?"
"I want to meet her, you can help me find her, the sooner the better"
Chu Han drooped his face and said, "Miss, I just heard the people over there discussing, saying that Xian Chi was recuperating in the front yard because of his merit in diving to save his wife!"
"It's merit to save people, it's not merit to save people, you go and find someone, I want to see this idle pool immediately"
Xia Li said bluntly, which made Chu Han stunned, and then her heart was sad and sad, the young lady suddenly changed her appearance since she heard that her wife died, not as weak as before, but became very strong, she is now a little afraid of her young lady.
However, such a young lady should not be bullied, and Mrs. can rest assured.
Chu Han wiped his eyes and left, but Xia Li didn't have time to care about other people's feelings, she was thinking about how to persuade her eldest brother to report to the official and help her mother Zhaoxue.
After a short time, the little girl turned back again, this time with a drooping face, her eyes were red, and she was crying a lot.
Xia Li looked at this person: "What? Let you go to someone, what are you running to cry for?"
"Miss......" Chu Han cried again, and said while crying: "It's the Fu housekeeper, she said that the slave maid ......"
"Butler Fu? How could he say about you? Didn't I tell you to go find the idle pool?"
Xia Li didn't know anything about the affairs of the house.
Chu Han cried even more when he heard it, "Miss, what's wrong with you, aren't all the things in the house in charge of Xia Fu's housekeeper?" Have you forgotten?"
"Oh, that's it! I forgot" Xia Li only knew things based on the memory of the original owner, and she didn't know anything else.
But she didn't care about it, "Did Steward Fu say anything?"
He said...... He said that the family is now busy with the funeral of the second lady, and it is better for the young lady to put her mind on this, and other things will be talked about later."
Xia Li was sullen for a while, how could it be so difficult to see a maid.
After staying for a while, he said without giving up: "When you go to the front yard in the early cold, you will talk to the housekeeper...... said that the eldest young master knew that Xianchi had merit, so let him take her back to the second room to raise her, if he disagrees, you will say that I will personally go and take Xianchi back"
Chu Han didn't know why Miss insisted on taking Xianchi back, she usually met with Xianchi often, and she didn't see how good Miss was to this girl, was it because she went into the water to save her wife's relationship.
Thinking like this in his heart, he had to say yes in agreement.
It's just that what Xia Li didn't know was that she had just sent Chu Han to be an important person, and the housekeeper Xia Fu told the eldest lady about it.
