At night, Ling Ruoxuan had no intention of sleeping, and her only son sat in front of the window, looking at the stars in the sky. Suddenly, a figure flashed under her window, and disappeared into the night in a moment, who could it be? Thief? This thief was really unlucky to come and patronize her, the poor jingle lady. Anyway, there was nothing of value, and probably the thief couldn't look at it, so he closed the window, sat in front of the rusty bronze mirror, and looked at the scars on his face, which had completely faded. Sure enough, she is a great beauty who captivates the country and the city. Now that this face has been restored, I wonder how this wise king will feel?

The next morning, the weather was exceptionally clear, and the magpies were screaming towards the house. "Magpies call, good things happen. Miss, something good is coming in the near future. As soon as Mu'er finished speaking, Mama Qian's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, Xiangye has returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he was anxious to meet the eldest lady and Gongye." ”

"Miss, the slave will help you put on your new clothes. The clothes are very beautiful. Mu Er said with the new clothes sent by Aunt Xiao a few days ago. It was a pale yellow cloud smoke shirt mopping the floor white brocade plain snow silk cloud-shaped thousand water skirt, if Ling Ruohui wore it, and then put it on the Han Yan hibiscus bun, it must be bright and beautiful.

"No, go and bring the most shabby clothes, and so will you." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. Yun Fei seemed to have an insight into the opportunity, and the shabby clothes he was already wearing were full of patches, and came to his sister's room. The four masters and servants came to the hall dressed like beggars, and a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a royal blue five-bat silk robe, was sitting upright and drinking the tea in his hand. When I looked up, I saw four people in tattered clothes standing in front of me, looking at the children in front of me, full of distress. Blame yourself for not asking yourself to be an envoy. As soon as the aunts of each courtyard saw this scene, they knew that Ling Ruohui did it on purpose, Aunt Xiao's eyes widened angrily, Ling Ruohui and Yun Fei fell to the ground in a timely manner, and kowtowed to Aunt Xiao and cried: "Auntie, please don't beat us, we know that we are wrong." When Ling Xiang heard this, he was immediately furious, and with a snap, the tea bowl fell heavily to the ground, and he pointed to Aunt Xiao on the side and said, "You slut, you dare to abuse your own relatives and children like this, you are so bold." ”

"Xiangye, the concubine is wronged, the concubine has not abused the eldest lady and the son." Then he knelt on the ground and began to cry.

"Bah, do you dare to say that you are wronged? Why are the children of this picture in rags? And why are there all the situations just now, it must be that you, the slut, took advantage of their absence to abuse them. Ling Xiang roared angrily.

"Xiangye, the concubine is indeed ......" Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiang kicked Aunt Xiao on the shoulder and scolded angrily: "Wronged? Qianlan, you say. Ling Xiang looked at Aunt Su who was standing on the side and said.

"Xiangye, Aunt Xiao, she treats the eldest lady and the son harshly on weekdays, and often considers herself a lady, and bullies us, if anyone dares to treat the eldest lady and the son better, she will intensify the persecution of us. If you don't believe in the concubine, you can go to the residence of the eldest lady and the son, as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, seeing where the eldest lady and the son live, and the master understands everything. Aunt Su said vividly, and did not forget to pretend to wipe away the tears on her face. provoked Aunt Xiao to glare at her fiercely.

"Let's go, take me to the residence of the eldest lady and the son." Ling Xiang stepped out of the hall first. Aunt Su glanced at Aunt Hua, and the two took Ling Xiang to the dilapidated courtyard in the north, Ling Xiang was sad when he saw this, "Aoxue, it's all my fault, it's me who didn't take care of our children." After that, the old tears were all over the place, and I cried sadly.

"Daddy, don't be so sad, your mother left early, and you are busy with politics. If there is no Qian Mama and Mu'er all these years, I am afraid that my daughter and Yunfei will never see their father again. After that, Ling Ruoyi also shed tears.

"Daddy, don't go anymore, Daddy is not at home, Auntie will beat my sister and Yunfei, the day before yesterday, Auntie also told Yunfei that if you dare to tell Daddy about her bullying us, when Daddy goes out, she will kill us." Yun Fei said that there was nothing at all, but it was really dark. Aunt Su and Aunt Hua on the side didn't expect that Aunt Xiao dared to say this, so she added fuel and vinegar and said, "Yes, Xiangye, don't you know, Aunt Xiao never gives fresh meals to the eldest lady and son, and the clothes are all shabby." It's not as good as the clothes of the housekeepers. I often ask people to beat the eldest lady hard, and I have been beaten all over my body several times, which is because I know that you are coming back soon, so I don't dare to do it. ”

Ling Xiang listened to Aunt Su and Aunt Hua's words, and couldn't wait to break Aunt Xiao's body into pieces. Xiahou Aoxue, the woman he loved most in his life, if he hadn't seen his children, he would have thought of his wife who died early, and he would never have asked himself to be an envoy. If it weren't for the fact that he was no longer at home, how could his beloved children suffer so much? Thinking of this, Ling Xiang was even more angry, walked quickly to the hall, picked up Aunt Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and raised her hand to slap a few times, this scene was seen by Ling Hanyan, who had just entered the door, and shouted: "Dad, why do you beat your mother?" ”
