Chen's mother had tears in her eyes and hugged her to comfort: "Miss don't cry, there will always be a way, we will definitely be able to live!" ”

"How do you live?" It's okay if she doesn't say it, as soon as she says it, Xu Xuan immediately cried loudly: "That bastard Qin Changyi took all my valuable things away, we are penniless, and we will starve to death in less than two days!" ”

Crying too much, her stomach throbbed, Xu Xuan turned white and bent down in Chen's mother's arms.

Chen's mother hugged her tightly in distress, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

She listened to Xu Xuan's words and sighed secretly in her heart. Back to the Mu family? Easier said than done! Did the young lady think that after so many things, Master Mu would still take them in? Originally, the young lady had a belly to rely on, but Qin Changyi caused the incident, and now that the child is gone, Master Mu's family has a big business, what kind of people around him don't have it, how can they still accept her?

Qin Changyi, it's all Qin Changyi's fault!

A trace of resentment flashed in Chen's mother's heart, and just thinking of this name made people gnash their teeth.

When she left the Mu family that day, Xu Xuan was pushed down by him, and the child in her belly was violently impacted, and she had a miscarriage on the spot. In order to recuperate, Xu Xuan sold a jade bracelet to buy this quiet courtyard, and Qin Changyi also moved here from the inn.

Xu Xuan is weak and has been bedridden these days. When she left from the Mu family, Mu Zhizhao didn't do too much after all, and she didn't take back the jewelry she gave her before coming to the Mu family. This money is a lot, and Xu Xuan handed it over to Chen's mother for safekeeping. At first, Qin Changyi felt guilty, guarding Xu Xuan's front all day long, he didn't know how much he said sweetly, but he said Xu Xuan with great joy, and he trusted him 100%, so he naturally told him everything.

Within a few days, Qin Changyi's true nature was exposed, he met a group of sons and brothers in Jinling, and under the leadership of these people, he quickly became familiar with the major gambling houses in Jinling, and soaked in the gambling houses all day long.

He told Xu Xuan that he had found a business opportunity and planned to leave the Qin family to do his own business, Xu Xuan believed it and sold some of his jewelry to him. As soon as Qin Changyi changed the silver, he went to the gambling house to spend his time. In less than two days, the money was squandered, not to mention, and a large amount of silver was owed to the gambling house.

He repeated his old tricks, cheated the money from Xu Xuan again, and invested in the gambling house in a blink of an eye.

But he was unlucky, he didn't win for three days in a row, not only lost all his money, but his gambling debts also snowballed.

Coincidentally, today, Chen's mother came out to buy vegetables, and she bumped into him coming out of the gambling house, and the lie was self-defeating.

Xu Xuan cried, was so sad that she fainted to death. Chen's mother was in a hurry to invite Langzhong, but she let Qin Changyi seize this loophole and sweep away the money they had left.

If it was just that, it would be okay, he took advantage of Xu Xuan's unconscious, took her hand and drew a note on it, and handed it to the shopkeeper of the gambling house. It turned out that he owed 5,000 taels of silver, but now that he couldn't afford to pay it back after seeing through the lie, he was ruthless and sold Xu Xuan to the gambling house, and the peach was dying!

Chen's mother invited Lang Zhong, and as soon as she saw that the house was messy, she immediately knew that Qin Changyi had run away.

But before she could chase her, the owner of the gambling house came to the door with someone and asked to pick up Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan just woke up, listened to the account of the owner of the gambling house, and saw that it was written in black and white that she would be mortgaged to the boss, and Qin Changyi also signed and drew the mortgage, his eyes were black, and he almost fell unconscious.

Chen's mother begged the owner of the gambling house, Xu Xuan forced her to die again, and the man was afraid of causing trouble, so she had to retreat, gave the deed of sale to Xu Xuan, and forced her to write an IOU to repay the five thousand taels of silver owed by Qin Changyi.

Xu Xuan was empty of people and money, she couldn't stand the stimulation, seeing that the New Year was coming, she didn't even have any money for the New Year, where to find 5,000 taels to repay the gambling house? I sat miserably with Chen's mother for half the night, thinking of being deceived by Qin Changyi before, the more I thought about it, the more I hated, and I couldn't help but think of the days when I was held in the palm of my hand by Mu Zhizhao, and I couldn't help but mourn in my heart and cry bitterly.

The two were facing the dilemma of starving to death, and Chen's mother hugged Xu Xuan and was silent for a while, then hesitated and said, "Miss, you have to take good care of your body." When you're well, we'll go earn some money. ”

"But we don't have any money, so what can we do to buy rice?" Xu Xuan's eyes were hazy with tears.

Chen's mother gritted her teeth: "I'll figure it out." ”

When she went out yesterday, she heard from a few homeless people in the north of the city that the Mu family was going to give rice and meat in front of the trading house early this morning. She thought about it, and she would go out later, try to grab some rice and meat, and think of a way to pass the year first.

…………

After Mu Yunge got up, he also went to greet Mu Zhizhao and Xiao Shi first as usual. Hearing Xiao Shi say that Mu Zhizhao had already gone to the business house to give alms to the poor people, she couldn't help but be moved. With Xiao's permission, she took Mu Jinran's little hand, and the two sisters and brothers went to the Splendid Commercial Bank happily.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in front of the Splendid Commercial Bank. The Mu family took out 10,000 taels of silver this time, and the rice and meat they bought piled up in two warehouses, and began to distribute them from the hour, and at noon there was still more than half of the rice and meat in the warehouse.

The carriage of the Mu family sisters and brothers was the back door of the business house that went directly, and as soon as the two of them came out, they were taken aback when they saw the grand scene in front of the business house.

"Sister, when Jinran grows up, she will be like her father and be a promising person!" Mu Jinran took Mu Yunge's hand and looked at Mu Zhizhao who was busy in front of him with admiration.

Mu Yunge chuckled: "Is this Jinran's dream?" ”

Mu Jinran nodded, and shook her head again: "Jinran wants to be a promising person, but Jinran doesn't want to be in business like her father." Sister, Jin Ran wants to be like Shuwen's father, enter the officialdom to do a career and do good things for the people of Dawei. No, Jin Ran shouldn't be as weak as Shuwen's father, Jin Ran wants to be a general, a general who can lead troops to fight! ”

Mu Yunge pinched his little face: "Then you will work hard to become a general." ”

"Uh-huh! I said to Shuwen and Mingtong that in the future, we will go to the battlefield together to make contributions. Mu Jinran puffed out his cheeks and said with a clear eye: "I practice martial arts with Shuwen, and we will lead the troops to fight; Ming Tong is usually like a girl, and he will be our military advisor...... Ah, sister, look at that person, isn't she the nurse of the concubine before her father? ”

Mu Jinran said excitedly, suddenly stopped, raised her hand and pointed at an old woman who was crowded in front of the almsgiving crowd.

The old woman was dressed in patched and tattered clothes, and her clothes were covered with mud, and she looked dirty. The people around her didn't want to be next to her, and the New Year was bad luck and far away.

Mu Yunge looked fixedly, could it be Mother Chen?

She frowned, turned to Pei Xin and said, "You go and inquire about what happened and why she came here." ”

If she remembers correctly, when Xu Xuan left, she took away a lot of jewelry from the Mu family, why did she fall so hard that she needed to rob refugees and poor people for alms in just a few days?

Soon, Pei Xin came back and told her about Qin Changyi.

After hearing this, Mu Yunge smiled coldly, Xu Xuan was cocooned and self-bound, and he deserved to fall to this point.

She looked at Chen's mother's figure with her back bent, although she was very disgusted with Xu Xuan, but Chen's mother's care for Xu Xuan made her look different.

Her eyes softened, and she sighed softly: "You go and tell Steward Xu to give her more rice and meat." Also, don't let my dad see her here. ”

Steward Xu obviously recognized Chen's mother, and when he handed over a large amount of rice and meat to her, he didn't say a word, but just quietly put a silver ingot in the rice.

Chen's mother was shocked and looked at Steward Xu in dismay.

Steward Xu whispered: "What does Miss mean, you are so self-conscious." ”

Mother Chen held the big bag of rice and meat, touched the warm silver, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. She didn't dare to ask for the Mu family's forgiveness, but at this time, she couldn't help but feel admiration for Mu Yunge's mind. Looking at himself again, a huge amount of shame suddenly swelled up in his heart, and he couldn't even raise his head. She didn't dare to look at Mu Yunge and Mu Zhizhao more, and left quickly with her things in her arms.

Xu Xuan went through such a fuss yesterday, and now she can't get up, Chen's mother went to the kitchen with her things, afraid that Xu Xuan would see her outfit and change it as quickly as possible, so she went to comfort Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan's face was pale and half-lying: "Mother Chen, where have you been, you have been gone for so long." ”

"I'm going to the pawnshop." Chen's mother buried her head perfunctorily: "I still have two hairpins, which were not taken away by that bastard." I took some money and bought some rice and meat. ”

Xu Xuan said weakly: "Just buy some rice, meat, it's too expensive!" ”

"Miss, today is Chinese New Year's Eve!" Chen's mother was very sad in her heart, and comforted her softly: "You are not in good health, you have a little broth with you, and your food is fragrant." ”

Xu Xuan didn't answer, closed her eyes and gasped for a short time before asking, "How much silver did you make?" ”

She asked, and Chen's mother hurriedly held the silver given by Steward Xu in front of her. Xu Xuan opened her eyes and glanced at the silver, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she did her best, staring at Chen's mother: "Chen's mother, you are lying!" Is that hairpin of yours worth fifty taels of silver? Tell me, where did the money come from? ”

She was so angry that she gasped and almost lost her breath.

"I, I ......" Chen's mother was so anxious that she didn't dare to lie anymore, and told her everything about it.

Xu Xuan held this breath, and just after listening, his body suddenly leaned back. She smiled sadly, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Chen's mother hugged her in a panic: "Miss, don't be angry, it was the old slave who did something wrong, and the old slave will never go again!" Even if you starve to death, you won't go! ”

The more she said this, the more sad Xu Xuan became. Chen's mother is dedicated to her good, she can't bear to blame, she just feels that the world is big, and there is no place for her, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that there is nothing to love. Death took over his mind, and his chest seemed to be pressed against something, so heavy that his chest was about to be crushed.

Her breathing became more and more rapid, and she grabbed Chen's mother's hand harder.

There are so many things that I didn't understand until this moment.

Xu Xuan's pupils gradually dilated, and the blood at the corner of her mouth couldn't stop rolling down her chest, she knew that her limit was up, so she tried her best to say to Chen's mother: "Chen's mother, I don't blame you." If you want to blame, blame Xuan'er for being stupid, being deceived by others, and being used again...... Qin Changyi, as well as the woman in the garden that day and Shen ...... Shen Jingyu is the murderer who killed me. You...... Be sure to ...... I want to help Xuan'er...... Avenge! ”
