The originally clear sky suddenly became much gloomy, and Aunt Du tightly dragged the string of beads that she had taken off in her hand, and returned to Yirong Courtyard with a gloomy expression.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw her daughter sitting in front of her dressing mirror, and stood up with a well-behaved face at the moment, "Auntie......"

"You touched my stuff?!"

But she didn't want to, Aunt Du's voice instantly became extremely sharp, and she immediately rushed over and slapped Xia Xiang fiercely!

I saw that the weak and boneless girl immediately fell to the ground, this palm seemed to knock off half of her life, and weakly raised her head and explained in a choked voice, "Xiang'er is just, just helping to clean up my aunt's dressing table......"

Aunt Du's expression at the moment was indescribably hideous, as if she was looking at someone else through Xia Xiang.

"It's a useless thing! It's really the life of the young lady's body maid, rushing to do what such a slave should do! Get up, I'll let you stand up! Chu Chu is pitiful to show it to whom, isn't it shameful enough?!"

All kinds of unbearable sarcasm and abuse came to her face, Xia Xiang didn't understand that her aunt was happy to go out, but when she came back, she seemed to want to eat herself alive.

However, Aunt Du only felt that her anger poured out uncontrollably, she leaned down and grabbed her daughter's shoulder frantically, "Why don't you speak, are you even watching your aunt's jokes?"

"No, it's not, Xiang'er just feels sorry for her aunt......"

Xia Xiang's eyes were red, and she couldn't care about her body that was about to fall apart, so she hugged Aunt Du's waist tightly and begged bitterly, "It's Xiang'er who is not good, Xiang'er is not angry, but Aunt Don't hurt herself......"

This voice was sincere, full of attachment and pity to her mother, and the last line of defense in Aunt Du's heart collapsed at this moment, she gradually quieted down, and looked at her daughter like a pear blossom with emotion, but she was aroused with endless guilt.

"You, why do you always know how to argue with others, if one day your aunt is gone, what will you do? It's useless aunt, you can't let you live a good life......"

Her hand trembled and stroked Xia Xiang's cold face, "Does it still hurt?" Auntie just doesn't know how to face you, making you suffer so much. ”

If it wasn't for the fight with them, his body would not have fallen ill and gave birth to Xiao Jiu, so that his daughter was weak and sick since she was a child, and she lost the opportunity to compete for favor, and she couldn't even stand in the sun like a normal person, watching the rain and listening to the snow wantonly.

Xia Xiang gently held Aunt Du's hand instead, extremely greedy for this warm palm, and snuggled up to her mother like a young bird, "Xiang'er doesn't care, as long as there is an aunt by her side, Xiang'er is very happy." ”

These words entered Aunt Du's heart, and increased her unwillingness, her daughter is obviously so obedient and sensible, she deserves more love, but now she has become the most inconspicuous existence in the general's mansion.

Will the mother and daughter continue to sit back like this, and when will they be able to escape their inferior fate?

At this moment, a surprised voice came from outside the door, "The Sixth Young Master is back!"

Aunt Du was slightly stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she thought she had heard it wrong, she pulled away Xia Xiang, who was also surprised, and walked to the door, and really saw the well-dressed figure appear in the courtyard, followed by several housekeepers and maidservants.

"Thank you Sixth Young Master for the reward! The slave will go and send some tea and pastries to the young master!"

"Serve my aunt and Miss Nine well, Young Master Ben won't treat you badly!"

I saw that the person who came was dressed in a straight and decent light blue satin gown, the hem of the clothes fluttered with a chic feeling of walking with the wind, and the gestures were all the style of the rich son, the white and delicate face smiled proudly, and the valuable sandalwood beads were thrown at will, which attracted the people around to snatch and thank you again and again.

"Auntie, I'm back!" Xia Heng's voice was high-pitched, her eyes were radiant, and before Aunt Du could react, she saw the other party striding close and stuffing a gold bracelet into her hand, "Look at what I brought, do you like it?"

"You're ......"

"The little sister is also here, just right, the sixth brother also brought you some things to play with, this is an agate pendant, and a pearl jewel, the color is just right for you!"

Seeing the scenery of Xia Heng's body, this generous tone made everyone outside envious.

Xia Xiang carried the jewels given by her brother, lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, and then slowly walked to the door of the house, and stretched out her hand to block the sight of those looking outside.

At this moment, Xia Heng, who was still proud, suddenly changed his expression.

"Auntie, do you have 10,000 taels of silver tickets?

"Didn't I give you a sum of money before......" Aunt Du couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

Before she finished speaking, Xia Heng immediately stomped her feet like crazy, and then knelt down at Aunt Du's feet and pulled her skirt tightly, "It's only one hundred taels of silver, where is it enough?!Auntie, you must save the child this time, otherwise, the child will really die!"

If there are outsiders present at this moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to believe his eyes, his anxious appearance and Fang Cai's high-spirited posture are simply like two people!

Aunt Du took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her voice was still trembling uncontrollably, "What the hell is going on? To be honest, Aunt Du can help you find a way!"

Xia Heng's eyes were full of fear that could not be concealed, and he hesitated for a while before he came to speak.

"What? You followed the young master of the Dingxing Marquis Mansion to the gambling house and lost 10,000 taels?

I saw Xia Heng's eyes flickering and muttered, "The child has only come back from the academy once, if I don't give more rewards to the servants in the house, wouldn't it be a loss of face?" Besides, it was my aunt who said that I wanted to get along with those powerful people, and I was a little concubine, and I would be looked down upon if I didn't have these decent things on my body." ”

In order to curry favor with them, Xia Heng kept taking the silver taels given by Aunt Du privately with them, rewarding those singers and dancers, spending money like dirt to fill their faces, and the scenery on the surface is the same, but in fact, he has long been overstretched.

So a while ago, I went to the gambling house with the third young master of the Dingxing Hou Mansion, borrowed some capital and planned to win some expenses, who knew that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and finally owed such a large amount of gambling debts!

"That Third Prince Wei is really not a thing! Obviously, he pulled me in, but now he is closed, has he forgotten how much silver taels I have spent for him over the years, and how many things I have done!"

Xia Heng was so angry when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but scold at this moment.

At this time, Aunt Du only felt a little dizzy, but fortunately, Xia Xiang held on in time, and she timidly put the jewels she had just taken back on the table, "Sixth brother, Xiang'er doesn't want these jewels, you can sell them more or less ......"

"Heh, what nonsense, how can there be any reason to sell the things you bought?If people know, I still have the face to stay in Yingtian Academy?" Xia Heng looked disdainful, only feeling that this kind of practice was completely inconsistent with his identity.

"Shut up!" But she didn't want to, Aunt Du scolded angrily in a hoarse voice, her hand was already raised high, and Xia Heng's face changed in fright, but looking at the son in front of him who had given him high hopes, this slap couldn't fall, "You, how did you become like this......"
