"Summer Solstice, why are you standing here and what are you looking at?" Ling Chu came out of Lu Chengliu's house, and when he saw that it was still early, he went to the street for a stroll.

It's just that his body is too weak, and he was tired and panicked after not walking for a long time, and he was thinking about whether to buy a carriage, but he accidentally found that the maid on the summer solstice was hiding next to a small stall, staring at the Changle Gambling House not far away to wipe her tears.

Hearing Ling Chu's voice, Xia Zhi hurriedly wiped away a handful of tears and walked over with red eyes, "Girl, I saw that you haven't come back for a long time, I'm worried that something will happen to you, and I want to come out to find you." ”

Ling Chu raised his eyebrows, came to Changle Fang to find her?

"Then why are you standing here staring at the gambling house, do you think I went to Changle Fang to gamble?"

"No," Xia Zhi shook his head, "I came out to look for the girl, and I accidentally saw my second uncle." I saw him enter the house and asked the stall owner next to him, only to know that Changle Fang was a gambling house. ”

Second uncle?

If she remembers correctly, Xia Zhi seems to have been sold to human traffickers by her second uncle?

"The second uncle you are talking about, is that the second uncle who sold you to Boss Yao's group of traffickers?"

Ling Chu felt strange, Xia Zhi was sold by her second uncle, shouldn't she hate him, how could she see him, but hide and cry?

Xu saw her doubts, Xia Zhi nodded, "That's right, it was sold by my second uncle." I cried because I remembered my parents. ”

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask you, why did your second uncle sell you?"

"After my father died, my second uncle wanted to seize the family property left to me by my father and mother, and was supposed to marry me to a fifty-year-old widower in the next village.

I didn't agree, but the second uncle and aunt said that when the girl was older, she was going to marry and have children, but when I saw that the family they picked for me was either a widower older than my father, or a family with a physical disability, I didn't nod.

I objected a few times, and when I saw that my second uncle and they no longer mentioned it, I thought they had given up. Later, my cousin asked me to come to their house to do embroidery work together, but after drinking a cup of tea, I fainted.

When I woke up, I realized that the second uncle had secretly drugged me in the tea, stunned me, and sold it to Boss Yao's gang. ”

Thinking of the unscrupulous second uncle, Xia Zhi hated it so much, "After selling me, the family property left to me by my father and mother must have been seized by them." My second uncle is a good gambler, and I am afraid that everything left to me by my father and mother will be lost by him. ”

Ling Chu frowned, she really didn't expect that what happened to this maid was not much better than Liu Xiangju's maid.

Glancing at the Changle Gambling House, Ling Chu asked Xia Zhi, "Do you want to get back what your father and mother left you?" ”

Xia Zhi wiped a handful of tears, his eyes were gloomy, "Of course I want to, my father and mother are dead, and what they left me is the last thought, of course I want to keep it for a long time." ”

"In that case, I'll get it for you." Now that Xia Solstice is her person, she can't watch her being bullied and remain indifferent.

Xia Zhi didn't expect Ling Chu to help her get her home, first she was overjoyed, and then she was discouraged, "Girl, forget it." My second uncle and aunt are not good people, and they will not spit out anything in their hands again. ”

Her second uncle has a fierce temperament, and no one dares to mess with him in the village.

Xia Zhi was worried that if Ling Chu went to help her get the family property, in case she was injured by the second uncle and aunt, how would she be worthy of the girl.

Ling Chu guessed her worries, smiled, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with your second uncle and them." Let's go, let's go buy a carriage first. ”

Xia Zhi's home is outside the capital, and if she walks, she is afraid that she will be tired and faint before she reaches the halfway point. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, so you still had to buy a carriage to travel.

After buying the carriage, he took Xia Zhi home to ask for his property.

Her second uncle is a good gambler, and Ling Chu is worried that if she is late, she is afraid that those family properties will be lost by her second uncle.

Ling Chu took the summer solstice straight to Luoma City.

……

Wangjiazhuang outside Beijing.

Under a big tree at the head of the village, a group of village women are enjoying the shade under the tree, doing embroidery work in their hands, and their mouths are not idle.

A woman wearing a white dress with a blue background stopped what she was doing, put the embroidery needle on her hand and wiped it on her head, and suddenly asked the woman who was eating melon seeds on the side, "Xinghua mother, why haven't you seen your niece recently?" ”

The Liu family swallowed melon seeds for a moment, and smiled unnaturally, "You said that girl on the summer solstice, she is not at home." ”

The woman in the flower dress was stunned, "Why aren't you at home, I haven't seen anyone for a few days, where has this gone?" ”

Another round-faced lady was also puzzled, "There are few relatives in your family who can move around, where can you go to the summer solstice and not come back for so many days?" ”

"Xinghua mother, it shouldn't be something happened to the girl on the summer solstice, right?"

The Liu family originally listened to the gossip with melon seeds and listened to it with relish, but he didn't expect that the Gao family in the flower dress would suddenly mention his niece Xia Zhi.

She didn't think much about it, and blurted out that she wasn't at home.

Seeing this, everyone looked at themselves strangely before they reacted, and hurriedly said vaguely, "That girl is resting at home on the summer solstice." ”

Gao Shi wrinkled her brows, how could she think that this Liu family's attitude when she mentioned the summer solstice was so strange.

One will say that she is not at home, and the other will say that she is resting at home.

This Liu spoke vaguely, and his eyes were also full of emptiness.

Could it be that something really happened to the girl on the summer solstice?

remembered that when Xia Zhi's mother was dying, she had asked her to take care of the girl on Xia Zhi, and Gao's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he suddenly stood up, "I haven't seen Xia Solstice for a long time, since she is at home, then I'll take a look at her." ”

Liu's face changed, and he stood up in a panic and grabbed Gao's sleeve, "Don't go." ”

Seeing Gao Shi looking back at herself with a puzzled expression, she suddenly realized that her reaction was wrong.

Hurriedly let go of his hand and squeezed out a smile, "Erzhu mother, there is nothing wrong with that girl on the summer solstice, it's just that she is a little uncomfortable these days, but it's good to take a break, you don't have to go to see it." ”

Gao Shi frowned, she hadn't been to see the summer solstice before, this Liu had never stopped her, this would be so abnormal?

"Summer Solstice sick? Then I'll have to see her, and if it's serious, I'll have to see a doctor. ”

Liu didn't expect her to say that she didn't need to go to see it, this Gao still wanted to go, so she blurted out in a hurry, "This is our family's business, and we don't need you to meddle in it." ”

Originally, when it came to the summer solstice, everyone just chatted casually and didn't pay much attention to it.

But as soon as Liu's words came out, everyone looked at her strangely.

I was muttering in my heart, why is it strange for Liu to mention the summer solstice today?

Gao just wanted to go and see her niece, why did Liu repeatedly stop her, looking like she was trying her best to hide something?

Could it be that something really happened to the summer solstice?

Seeing that everyone looked at them suspiciously, and Gao insisted on going to find Xia Zhi. Liu was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he pretended to have an unspeakable look on his face, "Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi, that girl is married." ”
