Chapter Seventy-One: The Untouchable Corner of the Heart (1st Update)
But in the box, a familiar gold-inlaid jade bracelet was lying quietly on the soft red brocade cloth, wasn't it the bracelet she had dropped when she first came here?
It was the bracelet that the original owner's mother wore on her body before she died, and the original owner had always cherished it, and whenever she missed her mother, she would take it out and look at it for a long time.
Xu Jing originally thought that when she made some more money, she would go and take this bracelet back.
Chunyang and Chunxiang were also very surprised when they saw this bracelet, and Chunyang, who was more emotional, couldn't help but cover his mouth and his eyes were red.
Xu Jing took a long time before she suddenly said as if in a dream: "How can you ......?"
"This bracelet should be important to you."
Xiao Yi looked at Xu Jing's expression steadily, and said, "You helped the court solve this serial murder case this time, you should have been rewarded for your merits and deeds, and it was just a trivial matter to help you redeem this bracelet." ”
This case is of great significance to the imperial court, if she is a man, with the credit of this case, it is enough to be appreciated by the saints and rise to the top in the court.
Unfortunately, she is not a man, and besides, she obviously doesn't want too many people to know about her participation in solving the case.
In the end, the identity of the servant is too lowly, and ordinary men can't stand the world's prejudice against this industry, let alone a woman.
Her great merit and amazing talent in this case cannot be known to the world after all.
Rao is like this, Rao is this woman did not ask for any remuneration, and Xiao Yi also wanted to do something for her, so as to be worthy of the one-ten-millionth of the light she bloomed in this case.
Xu Jing picked up the bracelet for a while, looked at it under the light for a long time, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "That's really thank Xiao Shilang." ”
Xiao Yi's intention to help her redeem this bracelet, she knew, so she accepted it without the slightest twist.
Moreover, smart people often don't need to speak too clearly, Xiao Yi is also saying that he has found someone to check her, so he knows that she took this bracelet as a person.
But after checking her, he still believed her, at least that she was harmless to him, so he sent the bracelet to her so bluntly.
Xu Jing unconsciously gently rubbed the bracelet in her hand, and her thoughts slowly drifted away.
A person can't be bad from the beginning, no matter what the original owner has done, when she was a child, she was just a little girl living under the protection of her father and mother.
The Xu family is just an inconspicuous small family in the great family of Great Chu, and the family is located in Bianzhou, north of Great Chu.
The original father is just one of the concubines who is not valued, but the original owner Xu family is from a local merchant family in Bianzhou, at the beginning, in order to get the financial support of the Xu family, the original father resolutely asked to marry the girl of the Xu family.
Although the Xu family was in decline at that time, it was a scholarly family, and it was a very good choice for the Xu family, who had been in business for generations, so as soon as the original owner's father came to ask for marriage, the grandfather of the original owner did not hesitate to marry his daughter.
At the beginning, in order to please the father-in-law, the original owner's father was still very good to the original owner's wife, and even left out a concubine in the family who had been serving him.
It can be said that the original father's father was able to sit all the way to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the support of his wife's family was indispensable.
And the original father, as an unappreciated concubine, finally surpassed the many carefully cultivated sons-in-law of the Xu family, and finally sat in the position of the six Shangshu, which can be called a counterattack, and others will be amazed when they talk about it a hundred years later.
However, after the position in the court was stabilized, the true character that the original owner's father had been hiding was revealed, and he began to quietly alienate the original owner's wife, and even more favored the concubine who had been neglected by him for several years, intentionally or unintentionally alienated from his wife's mother's family.
At that time, their family had already settled in Xijing, and the Xu family was far away in Bianzhou, so they couldn't help even if they felt the change in the original owner's father.
And their Xu family's daughter and granddaughter are all in the Xu family, no matter how cold the original owner's father is to the original owner's wife, the respect and love on the surface are still in place, so don't say that the Xu family can't find evidence to prove that the original owner's father spoiled his wife and killed the concubine, and Yu Shitai couldn't catch him.
In the memory of the original owner, her mother had been ill for a whole year before she died, and that year, except for the routine daily visits, her father never said a word to her aunt, let alone the warmth between husband and wife.
On weekdays, the original father either slept in the study or slept in the concubine's room, but his behavior was very reasonable in the eyes of outsiders - the wife was unable to serve on the sick bed, and as the husband's usual sleeping study, he only went to the concubine's room once a time to relieve his desires, which was his wife's understanding and love.
Only those who have seen the relationship between the original father and the original mother will know what is going on between the two couples.
In the end, the original mother can be said to be depressed, because she was worried that telling the truth to her family would make the family worried, she didn't say a word to her family, but before she died, she wrote a letter to her family, asking them to take care of her only daughter.
Therefore, in the end, the Xu family didn't know that the relationship between the original owner and the original father was so stiff, and the original father was indifferent to the Xu family, and after the death of the original owner, the connection between the two families was gradually broken.
The Xu family is very concerned about the original owner, and will write a letter to the original owner every year, knowing that the original owner was sent to Zhuangzi, he is even more anxious, and often asks someone to send her some silver money and jewelry as a subsidy.
After the original owner was abandoned by Xiao Yi and kicked out of the house by the Xu family, Chunyang and Chunxiang both persuaded her to join the Xu family.
However, at that time, the original owner hated it so much, she always felt that her mother was killed by her father and the woman who is now her stepmother, and since the age of six, she had been thinking about avenging her mother, and eventually this idea gradually evolved into a terrible obsession, which not only bound her heart, but also bound her people.
In order to take revenge, she can drug Xiao Yi shamelessly, she can use her child as a tool for revenge, and when she finds out that he is actually useless, she will dislike him in every way.
Therefore, even when she was at her most depressed, she was reluctant to leave Xijing, and in the end, she died in Hutou Village, not far from Xijing.
Xu Jing actually doesn't like to explore the memories of the original owner at all, the memory of the original owner is full of strong resentment and unwillingness, like a dark creature crawling out of the depths of the earth, but it is such a person, and there is a soft place in her heart that cannot be touched by anyone - that is her mother.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the importance of this bracelet to the original owner is something that she would rather die than give up.
Xiao Yi was able to redeem this bracelet, Xu Jing was still very grateful.
That made more sense than anything else Xiao Yat had paid her.
Xiao Yi kept looking at the woman in front of him, and saw that the emotion between her eyebrows and eyes changed from surprise at the beginning to emotion, and then to such a faint sentimental remembrance now.
No matter which side it is, it is so vivid and vivid, as if it is the most colorful stroke on the long-lasting Danqing.
At one point, Xiao Yat actually had a ridiculous idea - he felt that he could continue to watch like this, as if he would never get tired of watching it for the rest of his life.
Before he had time to be surprised by this sudden idea, the woman in front of him suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she smiled slightly: "Xiao Shilang is also about to return to Xijing, before that, I don't know if there is a chance to meet Xiao Shilang, I am here to wish Xiao Shilang a smooth journey and good luck!" ”
