Fengshuang Pavilion, in Xue Nian's room.

Xue Nian leaned on the bed, looking at the small medicine bottle in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

The third sister of the Feng family said: After taking this medicine, she and the child can be safe, and this medicine is the only one in the world.

The only medicine in the whole world, used to a person she didn't know, Xue Nian didn't ask why, she just felt that life was too ridiculous, dearest people, try their best to let you die, but strangers want to save your life.

Xue Nian closed his eyes, his miserable little face was full of tears, and his memories were full of unforgettable pain.

On the day she was born, her father married Erniang, walked through the front door, and wore a red wedding dress.

Daddy married a concubine in the main courtyard with drumming and music.

The mother gave birth in a side hospital.

Xue Nian, the eldest lady of the Xue family, is not as good as the little girl in Erniang's courtyard.

There is endless work to do during the day, and there are endless books to read at night, and they have to learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together, and if they slack off, they will be locked up in the ancestral hall and whipped by their fathers.

Xue Nian didn't understand, obviously he didn't like it, why did he still learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, read and read and read.

When she was in a hurry, she asked her father.

Daddy said: "You are the eldest daughter of the Xue family, you can't lose the face of the Xue family." ”

"Since I am the eldest daughter of the Xue family, why do I still do what a maid does?"

"It's strange that you were wrong, if you were a boy, the Xue family would hold you as a treasure in the palm of your hand, and you, a girl, what's so good?"

Since then, "girl, what's good" has become an eternal sin pressed on Xue Nian's heart.

Why can't girls get the love of their fathers? Are girls born guilty? She was not convinced, but she was powerless to resist.

Her heart is in the quarrels between her father and her mother; In the tears secretly shed by the mother; In the whipping of being locked in the ancestral hall again and again, he was cold day by day, and desperate day by day.

Until one day, Lin Mufeng appeared.

That day, she curled up on the cold ground of the ancestral hall, the wound she had just been beaten was so painful that she didn't want to move, she just wanted to die like this.

When her mother came to pick her up, she was followed by Lin Mufeng, who walked in from the bright sunlight outside the ancestral hall and gently held her in his arms. Hold back to the side hospital.

Since then, he has come every night to teach her light exercises. Tell him that if he learns light skills, he will be able to avoid his father's whipping.

She was clumsy but worked hard to learn and fell a lot. However, it was nothing compared to being whipped by his father.

When she dodged her father's whip for the first time, the look in her father's eyes puzzled Xue Nian, it was not anger, but surprise, the surprise was fleeting, Xue Nian thought he was wrong.

Daddy said, "As long as you can get away, I won't beat you again." ”

Xue Nian's light skills gradually improved, and the number of beatings gradually decreased.

Every time Lin Mufeng came, he brought her some delicious and fun food.

At that time, Erniang gave birth to a younger brother, and my father was very busy in the main courtyard, and he had no time to trouble his mother and Xue Nian.

Lin Mufeng often sneaked out with Xue Nian and climbed the highest mountain to watch the sunrise; Count the stars in the darkest night; Visit the busiest streets; Buy the most expensive sugar......

Once Xue Nian deeply longed for the happiness of girls, Lin Mufeng took her to experience it one by one.

Xue Nian's cold heart slowly melted little by little, a little warm.

It's just that life doesn't intend to let her go.

That day, she was sneaking back from biting a string of red sugar gourds, and was blocked by her father at the back door of the side courtyard.

Daddy had a dark face, watched her finish eating a bunch of sugar gourds, and then said slowly: "Don't go out in the future, stay at home to get married." ”

Xue Nian was stunned, and for a moment, she really wanted to stab herself to death with the string of sugar gourds in her hand.

"I'm not married." For the first time, she boldly resisted.

"I can't help you." Daddy's tone was cold, and he turned to his mother and said, "Take care of her, if anything goes wrong, you will pay for your life." ”

"Why are you?" Xue Nian shouted.

"I'm your father." Xue Ru's hatred was even louder.

Xue Nian sat on the ground, the stick in his hand was broken, pierced into his palm, and his heart hurt, looking at Xue Ruqiu's departing back, his eyes were dim.

Her mother, Shen Rulan, helped her into the house, sat at the table, carefully bandaged her wounds, and gently but firmly told her that she would definitely find a way to save her.

The person her father forced her to marry was Erniang's maiden brother. greedy for money and lustful, fat and rude, chose a good day and got married in the Xue family.

The man came to harass Xue Nian every day, and was beaten away by his mother with a stick, and came back cheekily the next day.

It's just that Lin Mufeng has gone out for something these days, but he can't find anyone. The mother and daughter were unable and decided to flee by night.

It's just that before they stepped out of the back door of the side courtyard, they were stopped by Erniang and others.

Xue Nian was forcibly dragged into the new house, and several mothers-in-law, who were five big and three thick, forcibly changed her wedding dress and combed her makeup.

"This little look, it's smart, no wonder my brother can't wait." Erniang pinched Xue Nian's chin and looked at Xue Nian's face carefully.

A mother-in-law brought a glass of wine, Xue Nian struggled desperately, but was still poured half a glass.

"It's okay to sprinkle a little, I doubled the amount." Erniang patted Xue Nian's face, "Be obedient." ”

Xue Nian was tied up and thrown on the bed by Wuhua Da, and Shen Rulan was tied to the pillar at the door.

"I want you to see with your own eyes that your daughter is worse than dead." Erniang said proudly in Shen Rulan's ear, and laughed and walked away after speaking.

The mother-in-law locked the door with a "click".

Leaving the mother and daughter struggling desperately in the house.

No matter how Xue Nian struggled, he couldn't break free of the rope, but his body was getting hotter and hotter, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Shen Rulan looked at Xue Nian's gradually flushed face, distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

Xue Nian finally struggled to stand up and jumped in front of the wall, she wanted to hit her head down, but looking at her mother, she couldn't give up, she died, and her mother had to die with her.

"Nian Nian, if you die, my mother will accompany you."

Xue Nian's tears slipped down in an instant, it was difficult to live, why was it so difficult to die?

Xue Nian fell to the ground in resignation, curled up, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Bang." The door was kicked open.

Xue Nian's body shook and closed his eyes fiercely.

"Nian Nian." A voice sounded gently, it was Lin Mufeng.

When Lin Mufeng came back from errands, the first thing he did was to come to Xue Nian, the side courtyard was empty, and the main courtyard was full of lights and noisy.

Lin Mufeng caught a passing maid and knew that something had happened to Xue Nian.

He didn't stop running over for a moment, for fear that he was one step late, and the moment he kicked the door open, his heart hurt fiercely when he saw Xue Nian curled up on the ground.

Lin Mufeng held Xue Nian in his arms, and while constantly comforting Xue Nian, he hurriedly untied the rope.

"Nian Nian, don't be afraid."

"Niannian, I'm here."

Xue Nian's body was hot and shaking.

Untying the rope, Xue Nian pulled himself out of Lin Mufeng's arms with all his might: "Save my mother." ”

Lin Mufeng untied the rope for Shen Rulan, carried one on her back, and pulled the other. Run to the back door of the side courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the back door, there was a sound of chasing behind me.
