Father Xie naturally knew what she meant, and raised his hand to pat Mother Xie to show reassurance,

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and we'll think of a way when the time comes."

"That's all it can be."

Mother Xie raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.

Twenty-one years ago, that is, the spring of the sixth year of Yuan Yong.

Mother Xie is indeed from Shangyang Village, but she was sold to Yapo by her father and mother at a young age, and then resold to Li Mansion in Yuzhou to be the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Li family.

Miss Li was sixteen years old and married into the He family, and Xie's mother entered the He Mansion as a dowry maid for Miss Li because of her mediocre appearance, quick hands and feet, and intimate work.

When Yuan Yong was in the fifth year, Miss Li went out to pray for blessings, and the horse in the carriage she was sitting in was unexpectedly frightened.

Miss Li suffered some minor injuries and was fine for a few days, but Mother Xie was seriously injured, especially her back, and she couldn't straighten up anymore.

Miss Li was very moved, and in return, she released Xie's mother's slave status, allowed her to return to her hometown to marry and start a family, and gave her twenty taels of silver.

The first thing Xie's mother did after she went back was to design to cut off the relationship with her father, and then find a matchmaker by herself, and choose the honest father Xie, but after half a month, she married herself into the Xie family.

The Xie family has only Xie's father, Xie's mother married in the past, there is no in-laws, no sister-in-law and brother-in-law, not to mention how comfortable life is.

Except, I haven't been pregnant.

Father Xie bluntly said that he didn't mind, but Mother Xie didn't give up, packed up her things, went to the Yuzhou Mansion to see a doctor, and took advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit her master.

It was only when I went there that I learned that she was injured that time, not only hurt her waist, but also hit her stomach, plus she was cold at a young age, and it was extremely difficult to get pregnant.

And Xie's father was also found to have insufficient kidney water and low water, which affected fertility.

The two were devastated, and Xie's mother endured the discomfort, and after visiting her master, she went back to Shangyang Village.

It's just that the road is snowy, and I have to stay in the shed for rest on the side of the road.

Before the wind and snow stopped, he ran into the officials who were exiled for being involved in the fraud case.

Xie's mother sat in the corner, depressed because of the inability to have children, and when Xie's father saw this, he proposed that he could adopt children that other families did not want, and it was the same to have children.

Father Xie originally wanted to coax Mother Xie, but he never thought that the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional.

Among the officials sentenced to exile were Xie Wenci's biological father and mother, as well as Xie Wenci, who was born less than a month ago.

Xie Wenci's biological mother heard Xie's father's words and lowered her eyes to look at the infant child.

All the way, she relied on the gold leaf hidden in her clothes to bribe the officials, so that she could eat and drink well, give birth to a child safely, and have enough milk.

It's just that the day the gold leaf always runs out.

Because they were on the wrong side, they were involved in a fraud case and exiled to the most remote island in Huzhou Prefecture, and they confessed.

But the child is innocent, he is less than a month old, if he follows him to the island, if he does not meet the amnesty of the world, he will be a slave for the rest of his life, and he will marry a wife and have children, and he will be a slave for generations.

Xie Wenci's biological mother thought about it and discussed it with his biological father, and made a decision unanimously.

The two of them bought the servants, walked to Xie's mother and Xie's father with the child in their arms, knelt down on the ground, and begged Xie's father and Xie's mother to take the child in.

No matter whether they are rehabilitated in the future or not, they will not recognize the child again, and take out all the valuable things left, saying that they will not let Xie Father and Xie Mother take the child in vain.

Xie's mother didn't want to cause trouble, and was about to say no, when Xie Wenci's biological mother held the child and handed it to her.

Mother Xie subconsciously looked down, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the baby child was smiling at her.

Mother Xie relented.

She is a person who has been a slave, so she naturally knows how lowly a slave is, not to mention that she became a slave after being exiled, and I heard that her face will be engraved.

Such a cute child, if it is engraved, it will hurt a lot.

In the end, the child was adopted by Xie's mother and Xie's father.

Xie Wenci's biological mother and father kowtowed to the two of them again and again, and told them the names and characters of their children.

The name is warm, and the word is praised.

Later, he told Xie's mother that he hoped that they could let his child read and write, and did not ask him to enter the official career, but only hoped that he could understand the general situation and take the overall situation into account.

Xie's mother held the child, took the gold leaf, silver hairpin, and gold hairpin handed by Xie Wen's biological mother, and agreed to come down one by one.

As for how to explain it to the imperial court.

This road of exile is a long way, and it is normal for a child who is less than a month old to die due to the wind and cold, and the treatment is not in place.

Mother Xie suddenly had an extra child, and taking it back to the village would definitely cause people to gossip, so the two discussed it and went back to the Yuzhou Mansion directly.

Xie's mother went to the original master, asked her to help, arranged a job for Xie's father, and took care of the children at home.

A family of three settled in the capital of Yaozhou for two years.

Until the day of Laba in the seventh year of Yuan Yong, Xie Mu led Xie Wen to resign from He Mansion to visit Miss Li, who had just been out of confinement for a few days.

Xie Wenci, who was only two years old, was quite naughty, and secretly hid under her bed when Xie's mother was talking to Miss Li, and when he found it, it was already close to the unitary hour.

Xie's mother was a little angry, but Miss Li felt that it was a child's nature to be naughty, so she smiled and played together, and left Xie's mother for dinner.

Although Mother Xie is not Miss Li's maid, she will still listen to her, but after dinner, when she was about to say goodbye to Miss Li, a maid was injured and entered the hospital, shouting that a man in black had entered the house to commit murder, and Mrs. should leave quickly.

The incident happened suddenly, Xie's mother was frightened, Xie Wenci was also frightened, or Miss Li reacted quickly, grabbed Xie's mother, picked up Xie Wenci and ran into the ear room.

She pushed open the wooden frame with the picture of Guanyin, revealing the dark room inside, raised her hand, and pushed Xie Mu and Xie Wenci inside.

The dark room was narrow and could not accommodate two adults, so Miss Li didn't think about it, and stuffed her daughter on the rocking bed to Mother Xie.

When Mother Xie came back to her senses, the wooden frame had already covered the dark room, and the voice of Miss Li leading the man in black away came from outside.

Mother Xie hugged the little master, only to feel that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but at this time, the little master snorted a few times, and it looked like she was about to cry.

Mother Xie panicked, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, shaking and coaxing gently, and waited for the movement outside to disappear before slowly letting go.

But she wasn't sure if the lack of movement meant that people were really leaving, which also caused her to dare not push open the wooden frame and go out.

Until her legs were numb when she was standing, and the wooden frame was pushed.

Xie Mu was startled, biting her lip tightly and not daring to speak, but she heard a weak voice outside.

It's Miss Lai.

Mother Xie breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pushed the wooden frame away, but what caught her eye was Miss Li's seriously injured and spitting blood.

Behind him, there was a long trail of blood, and at a glance, I knew that Miss Li had crawled all the way.

Mother Xie was suddenly flustered, and wanted to pick up Miss Li, take her away, and go to the doctor, but she didn't even notice Xie Wenci's pale face and the appearance of a lost soul.

And Miss Li stopped her and bluntly said that she was dying, although she didn't know what the enemy was so revenged, but she hoped that Mother Xie could take good care of her daughter and not tell her all this.

She didn't want her daughter to live in hatred.

Mother Xie naturally responded.

After Miss Li said that, she was already out of breath, and after seeing her daughter and asking Xie's mother to promise to let Xie Wen resign from her daughter and never accept a concubine, she completely closed her eyes.
