Chapter 60: Storm

Xie Yuezheng talked about the recent operas that have been popular in Beijing and asked Jiang Xiaolou if he would play the piano. The atmosphere was harmonious. When Xie Yue started speaking, she suddenly found Jiang Xiaolou looking not far away, he couldn't help but stopped and turned his head to look. I saw a woman standing opposite the pavilion, her dress fluttering, her figure thin, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
At this moment, Mo Er ran over in a panic, trying to pull Xie Yu away, and whispered something. Xie Yu shook her away and walked over with indifferent expression.
Xie Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xiaolou with a smile: "This is my fourth sister. I just saw it yesterday. She doesn't always like the excitement, but it's hard to come by today." As soon as the voice fell, Xie Yu was not salty anymore. He replied calmly: "Eldest sister, I am the daughter of the Xie family. How can I not ask me to come with the guests."
Her expression was indifferent. Although her voice was not high, she was unspeakably choking, and everyone was stunned by a word.
Xie Yu likes to be with the second Miss Xie Rou on weekdays. Both of them are quiet, soft and weak. The second Miss plays with flowers and plants all day long. The fourth Miss Xie Yu likes poetry, and neither of them participates very much. Activities at home, not to mention entertaining guests. Xie Yue was said to be inexplicable, and her face sank slightly. I didn't mean to be embarrassed just now. Didn't Xie Yu come to tear down the stage on purpose?
In an instant, Xie Yu had walked over as light as a swallow. She stared at Jiang Xiaolou and said lukewarmly: "I was far away yesterday, and I didn't see it clearly. I saw it today, Miss Jiang is really beautiful. Zhu Yan, with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, is really a beauty."
The two sisters Xie Yue and Xie Xiang were a little bit ridiculous. Although they had been guarding Jiang Xiaolou, they still hadn't spoken such a yin and yang, and there was always a decent face. Xie Yue's thoughts turned, and she couldn't help but speak: "Sister Si, why are you so rude."
Xie Yu glanced at her coldly and said, "Oh, I just praised Ms. Jiang for her beautiful appearance. Why is it impolite? Sister, ask Ms. Jiang if she minds."
Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaolou, but was stunned to ask her. This fourth young lady was pretty good yesterday. Why is there so much hostility today? I am sitting here, but I have never had any disagreement with her. This description is indeed wrong!
Mo'er smiled and stopped Xie Yu and said, "Miss Si, you just blew the wind, didn't you have a headache? Let's go back to rest first, and come back to see the guests.
Xie Yu sank his face and said, "The eldest sister and the third sister are here. How can I leave now? Is this the way Xie’s treats guests? If I don’t leave, I want to stay, and I believe Miss Jiang will do too. I want me to accompany you." After finishing speaking, she looked at Jiang Xiaolou with a pair of clear and Lingling eyes.
Li Xuening was worried. What kind of place did Jiang Xiaolou enter when he entered Xie's Mansion? Why did these people test one by one and the other hostile, so that people couldn't tell. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolou spoke as if he were talking, and smiled as before: "The fourth lady said that this is the Xie family, of course, the guest will be the host.
Mo'er was still worried about Xie Yu's impolite things, and could not help but tugged her sleeves quietly, but Xie Yu sneered and pushed her away and said, "You will go away, when the master and the servant are upside down, regardless of the subject and the object. Is it your turn to take care of the young lady?"
After she said this sentence, she quickly walked two steps towards Jiang Xiaolou. Seeing her fast pace, Li Xuening was uneasy for a while, fearing what she was going to do, she stood up subconsciously. Unexpectedly, she just glanced at Li Xuening contemptuously, and sat down next to Jiang Xiaolou, her body pressed tightly, and her cold smile raised: "Miss Jiang, I feel very sad when I see you. Kind, we can see that we are really fate." She said as she went up and took the hand of Jiang Xiaolou.
Jiang Xiaolou suddenly touched Miss Xie Si's hands, only feeling that those hands were completely cold and soft as boneless, but she was not nervous, just met Xie Yu's eyes with a smile.
"Yes, fourth lady, we are like what we saw at first sight." It was true at first sight, and at first sight we became enemies, but Jiang Xiaolou still didn't know where this hatred came from. If she is jealous of her beautiful appearance, although she was a bit sour when we first met yesterday, she still hasn't shown such an idiot. She is suddenly so weird today. Could it be that she has heard something? But what kind of news can make a noble and indifferent girl give birth to such courage.
Xie Yue has always been the eldest sister of the family, very stylish, and she has never liked Xie Yu's glamorous attitude, and her face can not help but become darker: "Ms. Jiang is a guest. Naturally, she is not more impolite than you, but she does not ask herself It's not a good habit to come, Sister Si, you should go back and rest first."
This is a clear order to chase away guests, and it does not leave Xie Yu any face. Xie Yu only felt that the other party's voice had become as sharp as the tip of a knife, and her grievances filled her heart, but she deliberately ignored it. She just smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, our yard is very close, I will send you back." With that said, Jiang Xiaolou was lifted up by his hands, and the strength he did not know where he came from was enough to surprise people.
If Jiang Xiaolou smashed her hand hard, it would be impolite, and it would be a joke. She just smiled: "So, thank Miss Fourth." Li Xuening followed and stood up, her eyes slightly disturbed. .
When passing by Xie Yue's side, Xie Yu coldly lifted her chin up slowly, and gave her a smile, with a hint of arrogance and contempt hidden in her eyes.
As a result, she succeeded in seeing the elder sister's charming face, and slowly changed, as if she was gnashing her teeth and cursing silently. Xie Yu felt a burst of joy in his heart, and went down the steps lightly.
Watching them leave, Xie Xiang took the veil and pressed her heart, and said with a slight disgust: "This girl is not only ignorant of the rules, but also a little crazy, because her father loves her so much, I really don't know what she thinks"
Naturally Xie Yu said.
Xie Yue frowned tightly, almost unable to suppress the disgust in her eyes, and ordered: "Let's go and take a look."
Xie Xiang nodded, and immediately got up and went with him.
The two of them had just walked into the garden, but suddenly they heard a scream, and they all changed their colors.
"Come here, Miss Fourth fell into the lake..." This voice cut through the calm sky of Xie's family.
By the time Sister Xieyue arrived, many maidservants and maids rushed in in the garden. Xie Yu was shivering wet in the cloak. Moer cried and said that Miss Fourth had fallen into the lake. Everyone thought it was incredible. The garden attracted living water. The surface looked clear, but the water was actually deep. Miss Fourth went so well, how come she fell for no reason.
Soon, the entire Xie family was alarmed.
Water dripped between Xie Yu's hair and red eyes. Her small body became weaker and weaker under the wide cloak. When she saw Xie Kanghe appeared, she immediately cried and threw into his arms: "Father!"
Xie Kanghe was taken aback for a moment, and quickly raised her face: "What's the matter, it's easy to fall into the lake?"
Wang Baozhen also eagerly asked on the side: "Mo Er, how do you take care of Miss Fourth!"
Mo'er stammered, "Slaves...Slaves..." Involuntarily took his eyes to look at Jiang Xiaolou.
At the beginning, everyone hadn't noticed her such small movements, but Xie Yu was lying in Xie Kanghe's arms like a fish, trembling, and holding his chest tightly with both hands, it took a long time to relax. Under Xie Kanghe's repeated questioning, she moved her eyelids, and slowly stretched out a hand to pull his sleeve, timidly: "Father, it's not about Miss Jiang, she didn't mean it..."
Xie Kanghe stared at Jiang Xiaolou in surprise, and was stunned.
Xiaodie couldn't help but angrily: "Why are you talking like this, it's obviously you who fell by yourself, what's the matter with my lady!"
In an instant, the superiority immediately appeared.
After all, Xiaodie had never experienced such a strange thing, and couldn't understand the twists and turns inside the mansion door. The shortcomings were revealed as soon as she exited.
Xie Yu’s tears were like dropped pearls, but her hand quickly covered her face. She turned her face away. She looked like a green onion, her armor was like a jade. She resisted the grievance and said:
Yes, it’s all me. I was not careful..."
Her face seemed to be carved out of a piece of beautiful jade, extremely delicate and exceptionally chaste, making people feel pity for no reason.
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou laughed without saying a word, without a word of explanation.
Xie Yue's eyes turned and she made up her mind, but she hesitated on her face and said: "Father, Miss Jiang must not be deliberate, she may be careless, Xu is...too close to the lake."
Xie Xiang likes to make waves the most, opening a sweet little mouth to help: "Yes, it must be like this." On the bright side, they are all explaining to Jiang Xiaolou, but in fact they are falling into trouble.
At this moment, Xie Liancheng rushed over when he got the news. He couldn't help being surprised when he saw this situation. When Xie Yu saw him coming, she immediately raised her head and looked at him. Although she had stopped her tears, there was a pearl that slid down on her pointed chin, very sad: "Brother, why are you here?"
"I heard the exclamation." Xie Liancheng said, and his eyes scanned Xie Yu's body and found that she was covered with drops of water and looked like weeping, "What happened?"
"It's me... I accidentally fell into the water, but Moer pulled me up in time..." Xie Yu wiped her tears, shaking with fright.
Li Xuening couldn't help but frowned. This fourth young lady looked upright and glamorous, her acting skills were not weak at all, and she was a good player behind the scenes!
"Obviously it was Ms. Jiang's push--" Mo Er said subconsciously. Before she could finish her words, she heard Xie Yu whispered: "No nonsense!"
Everyone’s eyes fell on Jiang Xiaolou, and Xie Yue couldn’t help thinking, could it be that Xie Yu had an unpleasant quarrel with her just now, so she provoked and retaliated. Being a guest... Obviously, although everyone present didn't say anything, they were more or less guessing like this in their hearts.
"You mean, Ms. Jiang pushed your lady down?" Wang Baozhen was surprised on her face, but asked Moer.
Moer hesitated to speak but stopped.
Xie Yu hurriedly said: "I'm fine, auntie don't bother me. Don't go into this matter, don't disturb the guests..."
Wang Baozhen looked at Xie Kanghe questioningly. This matter was very special. Miss Xie Si is an adopted daughter, and Xie Kanghe takes care of her three points better than others, but Jiang Xiaolou just arrived and is considered a distinguished guest. The two conflicted, depending on who Xie Kanghe would help... It seems that it is not good to help anyone.
Xie Kanghe didn't want to make Jiang Xiaolou unhappy, so he could only choose to wrong Xie Yu, and waved his hand: "Everything is a misunderstanding, don't mention this matter again."
Xie Yu lowered his head to hide the pride in his eyes. With this, Jiang Xiaolou will definitely leave a very bad impression in his father's heart. After a while, will he still be afraid of not being driven away?
"Father, I believe that Miss Jiang will not do this kind of thing for no reason." Xie Liancheng spoke at this critical moment, and then he calmly turned his eyes to Jiang Xiaolou, "Can you explain it to us?"
His voice was mellow and gentle, which made people feel comfortable. He didn't mean to blame at all. He was purely trying to make things clear.
From beginning to end, Jiang Xiaolou stood by and watched Xie Yu's performance, with a smile on his face, without saying a word. At the moment Xie Liancheng asked her, a smile flashed across her eyes, but her face was very apologetic and uneasy: "Maybe... I really pushed Miss Si down."
Xie Kanghe was taken aback and looked at her in disbelief.
Xie Liancheng couldn't help but froze, paused for a moment, then said: "Why?"
Jiang Xiaolou blinked, seeming to hesitate again and again before rolling up a corner of his sleeve embarrassedly. Everyone was dazzled by the snow-white wrists, and then looked at the sun carefully, only to find that there were fine holes on her wrists, which were invisible from a distance. Only when standing close can they find that the holes are like pinholes. It's about the same size, but there is a big bag swollen around it, one piece of red.
When everyone looked at each other, they heard Jiang Xiaolou slowly saying: "Just now Miss Fourth accompanied me walking by the lake. For some reason, a poisonous bumblebee flew around and flew around her left cheek. I was worried. She was stung and nudged subconsciously. Who knew that she could not stand firmly for a while, and fell straight into the lake. I feel really guilty now, it is all my bad, too much effort, I want to come four The young lady is so weak, of course she can't stand steady."
Hearing this, Xie Kanghe shook, and then turned to look at Xie Yu, and found that there was a white begonia in her hairpin, which was very eye-catching, and she couldn't help but sink her face and said: "Yu'er, how can you also learn from five girls? Then it's unruly, wearing flowers nicely, attracts bees and doesn't know it, and it hurts Xiaolou!"
Xie Kanghe always treats Xie Yu and Yan Yue, and takes care of her the most among all his daughters. He has never shown such a heavy expression. Seeing it for an instant, Xie Yu froze, almost unable to speak.
Xie Yu's thoughts turned sharply. Her father suspected that the poisonous bee was most likely brought by the white begonia on her head. Jiang Xiaolou was stinged in order to avoid her being stung, and there are traces of the poisonous bee on her arm. I can’t do it, but I wrongly said that Jiang Xiaolou pushed her down... No matter how you look at it, Xie Yu made trouble by herself. She was anxious and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Xiaolou, tearful: "I... I didn’t see that. bee……"
"Bees are fine, they are poisonous bumblebees," Jiang Xiaolou raised his wrist to show her, his expression was gentle, but it seemed to be painful, "Mr. Taiwu reminded me that it is the easiest garden in this season. If you provoke a poisonous bumblebee, its venom enters the blood, and it is easy to burn and swell..."
"More than swelling, Mr. Taiwu also said that there may be blisters or congestion, skin necrosis!" Li Xuening has been by the side to see from the beginning to the end. She has always been good-tempered. At this moment, her expression can not hide her anger, "Xiaolou, too. Just avoid it. Why do you want to rush over? You don’t know if you are allergic to bee venom. Mr. Taiwu said that people who are weak are prone to breathing difficulties, heart failure and even death! You are misunderstood when you are kind to save others. Is there any reason to push Miss Fourth into the water? Such suspicions are simply groundless."
She answered these words quickly and smoothly.
Mr. Taiwu did say such things and reminded them to be especially careful with this kind of poisonous bee. But what he didn't say was such alarmist talk. If it weren't for swarms of venomous bees, it would not have caused such serious consequences. At most, it would only be swelling and itching for three to five days.
But at this time, the more serious you say, the greater Xie Yu's guilt.
Everyone looked at Xie Yu in a strange look. Miss Fifth was young, and she loved to wear real flowers on her head. It was innocent and lively. You only need to wear flowers for Miss Fourth, and others would cry. The crying and crying just now became more pitiful, and now this innocence has become a beating, not distinguishing right from wrong.
Wang Baozhen looked at Jiang Xiaolou and couldn't tell what she said was true or false. Looking at her expression, the wound was red and swollen again, very lifelike, it didn't really seem to be a lie. But it's a coincidence...
Xie Yu glared at Mo'er quietly: "It's you talking nonsense, you almost wronged the good guy!" She said, and looked at Jiang Xiaolou apologetically, "I...I...I really don't know, Miss Jiang ,it's all my fault."
Xie Kanghe sighed and said, "You, I haven't figured it out, I almost blamed Xiaolou."
Jiang Xiaolou was generous and smiled: "Where, my uncle was too serious, but it was a misunderstanding."
Xie Kanghe quickly ordered: "Go and ask the doctor to treat Xiaolou."
Xie Yu didn't expect that Jiang Xiaolou could talk like this, and in a few words it became his own fault. At this moment, he was not smiling or crying, and even a little nondescript stiff.
Xie Liancheng stood there, looking at Jiang Xiaolou with a smile. This girl, who turned out to be silent, was so cunning...
Li Xuening relaxed, Jiang Xiaolou looked like a very meek person, with a good face, gentle and amiable. If you don't know her, and think she is a soft persimmon, you are completely wrong. Outsiders look at her kind, but can never associate her with cunning and insidiousness. She doesn't get angry easily, and smiles to tidy up people.
The Xie’s family invited a doctor, and he looked at Jiang Xiaolou specially to make sure that there was nothing serious before leaving. Xie Kanghe and Wang Baozhen asked Jiang Xiaolou to take a good rest. Xie Yue and sisters Xie Xiang left after being comforted, leaving Xie Yu alone and neither standing nor sitting. They had to say, "Xiaolou, today is mine. Not..."
Jiang Xiaolou just drank a cup of tea slowly first, listened to her, but didn't look up. He looked up at her most of the time after drinking, with a faint smile on his lips, and said: "The fourth lady does not have to be too self-blame. Bees don’t have eyes, they catch who they bite."
Xie Yu was startled when she heard it, and gritted her teeth secretly, but she could only put a smile on her face and said: "Yes, it's all because it doesn't have long eyes, and it almost broke our relationship."
The two people came and went, and Li Xuening couldn't help but shook her head when he heard what the originally unwarranted poisonous bee had said.
Xie Yu finally got up to say goodbye. Xiaodie was ordered to send her out, but her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not her nose. Despite this, she went to the door with courtesy. Xie Yu signaled that she didn't need to send it again, and turned slightly to walk away.
Xiaodie looked at her back as light as a swallow, and became more annoyed. She couldn't help but snorted and turned her head back. When she returned to the house, Xiaodie couldn't help asking: "Miss, Miss Xie made it clear that she wronged you. She fell into the lake if she walked well, and she has to rely on you. Is she blind?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou looked at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the green silk glowed with a faint luster like black jade: "Then what should you say according to your intentions? Charge up to expose her conspiracy and tell her uncle to teach her a meal."
Xiaodie was filled with indignation for a while: "Of course I can't just let it go!"
Jiang Xiaolou Zhiyi smiled: "You are so courageous when you first arrived. You are so brave."
When Xiaodie heard what Jiang Xiaolou said was wrong, she hurriedly smiled shyly: "Miss, don't the slaves and maids all fight for you?"
"In the future, I have to use my brain when I do things and talk. I did this today, just to leave uncle Xie's face. If it really makes things worse, everyone will not look good. Miss Xie Si and I have no deep hatred, why bother Fighting hard?" Jiang Xiaolou said. She was just using the traces of accidentally being bitten by a poisonous bee at Mr. Taiwu's residence to fish in troubled waters, hoping that the situation would be resolved smoothly.
Xiaodie was still a little bit angry, but she didn't dare to argue with Jiang Xiaolou.
Li Xuening looked at Xiaodie and couldn't help but shook her head and said: "You, Xiaolou has never been bullied by others. She is willing to tolerate others, why can't you? Peace is the most important thing to make big things small, no Is it a good thing?"
Li Xuening viewed this issue entirely from the perspective of tolerance and understanding, but didn't know that Jiang Xiaolou had another plan in mind. Such a small matter can't hurt Miss Xie Si's position in Xie's family at all, so why bother and waste your tongue.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Xue Ning subconsciously. The other person's eyes were too clear. Although there were sorrows cast by the years, it was more tranquil, like a natural black gem, always full of compassion, understanding, and full of the feelings of a talent.
Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help thinking of herself. Every time she looked in the mirror, she always avoided those eyes. Unconsciously, there was too much hatred in her eyes, focused and ambitious, always waiting to bite her prey.
Why do people like her have friends like Li Xuening...
"I'm afraid that people won't want it!" Xiaodie didn't notice Jiang Xiaolou's expression, but just muttered, and it happened that Xie's maidservant Jingjing came in to exchange tea. Xiaodie quietly glanced at Jingjing, who was pleasing to her eyebrows, and immediately tightened her mouth, and stopped speaking.
Li Xuening looked at Xiaodie's bitter and vigilant appearance and was amused. She thought this girl was weird, and she knew that the wall had ears, so she was not so stupid.
Xie Yu returned to her yard and saw that the maidservant was building the branches and leaves of the white crabapple in the yard. He couldn't help but blood flowed up, and quickly walked over, grabbed the scissors in the hand of the maid, and cut it mercilessly. Petals. She picked the flower heart to cut it, and the more she cut it, the more embarrassed she became. When the petals fell, she seemed to crush her own heart. Mo Er watched the petals flying and fell to the ground one after another, for fear that the scissors would hurt Xie Yu's white hand. She was anxious for a while and hurried to grab the scissors in her hand: "Miss, don't scare the servant girl! Miss!"
She herself was kind, but didn't want Xie Yu to be in a bad mood. When she subconsciously pressed her hand, the scissors immediately made a blood mark on Xie Yu's white palm, and the blood came out in an instant, Xie Yu With a sudden scream, she slammed her aside.
Mo'er was so shocked that he couldn't stand firmly, and fell back to the ground.
"You want to kill me! Everyone in this family sees me as superfluous. Now even your girl is bullying me with them? Look at my hand!" Xie Yu screamed angrily. If others hear it, absolutely It is hard to imagine that such a sharp and piercing sound can be made from her small body.
Mo'er was stunned and trembling. Before she had time to explain, the scissors flew over and fell under her feet. Mo'er was trembling, but Xie Yu seemed to be angry. Standing there, his face turned pale, and the whole person was shaky. Mo Er was frightened, and quickly got up to help her, but Xie Yu pushed her away. The movement in the yard alarmed Mother Gu in the house. She hurried out and saw that all the maids were standing under the porch and dared not approach, and the young lady was staggering to fall. Moer stood on the side in a daze, unable to help her face. Shen said: "Did you forget the rules? Don't do your own errands!"
The maids bowed their heads and backed away, all daring not to look at their mother.
Gu's mother hurried up to help Xie Yu and winked at Mo'er: "You are a dead man, please help Miss!" Mo'er hesitated, before reaching out to help, Xie Yu didn't know where the strength came from. Throwing away mother Gu's hand and went into the room.
Mother Gu entered the door, only to see Miss Fourth sitting in front of the mirror, her body motionless, just staring at the person in the mirror with a strange expression.
Xie Yu is not very young, but she doesn't have a unique charm. Her frowns and smiles, her gestures and gestures all seem to be the same as that of the old singer. However, she, who has been educated by wealthy ladies, is far from being comparable to those women who are smoky and charming. Just the smile and blinking movements, she has practiced in the mirror thousands of times, combining the dignity of the young lady with the natural beauty, which makes people involuntarily love and affectionate. But now, she wished she could smash this mirror.
"Miss, what's the matter with you? When you went out, you were happy and angry when you came back. The girls are not sensible. It's not your choice if you want to beat or scold. Just tell the servants and maidservants to speak, how can you be so much in front of you? People are angry, what can I do if they turn around and spread it out!" Mother Gu said unconsciously. She is Xie Yu's nurse, and she is the closest person in this yard.
Xie Yu turned her face away, her face was white. She glanced at Mama Gu, but there was no sound, only two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Oh my dear lady, what's the matter with you, don't cry anymore, talk to the slave and maidservant if you have anything." Mother Gu's own children have already left for a long time, and the lady by her looks more important than the sky. She cried and became distraught.
Xie Yu just bit her white shell teeth, her eyes flushed: "I was already disgusted by everyone at Xie's house, and today is even more faceless. What else can I say..."
Mother Gu had already asked Mo'er what happened, and now she understands it, she quickly wiped her tears, and comforted her softly: "Miss, that Jiang Xiaolou is just a guest, but you grew up with the master's pampering love. How can she Compared with you? You are kind to her, and behave to the master. He will only praise you for being smart and sensible. Didn't you always do this before? That's why the master likes you the most!"
A trace of shame and anger appeared on Xie Yu's face: "Father, he clearly favored her today. He hasn't hurt me long ago!" As he said, he couldn't help gnawing his teeth and cursing: "Mom, you didn't know that Jiang Xiaolou had How cunning, to coax my father around, and be more affectionate towards her than I am..."
Mother Gu frowned and said, "Miss, I looked at it from a distance yesterday. That girl looks very beautiful, and she didn't expect her scheming to be so deep, but we are not afraid, no matter how much she is pampered, she won't be able to assign a young lady. Your dowry—"
Gu's mother is a real person. All she sees is benefits. As long as Xie Yu's vital interests are not damaged, she doesn't need to worry about other things. In fact, the same is true. The Xie family is so rich and honorable, and Master Xie regards her as his biological daughter. In the future, she must choose a proper family for marriage, and a thick dowry is indispensable.
Xie Yu opened teary eyes: "But I heard my father tell my eldest brother that he wants to marry her as his sister-in-law..."
Gu's mother was taken aback, her face suddenly changed: "Miss, since you know that the master values ​​her so much, why bother to provoke others, if in the future she really marries the young master, how do you get along?"
"Nonsense, eldest brother won't marry her!" Xie Yu's face changed drastically, and his expression of sadness became extremely angry. Her biological mother was a brothel singing prostitute, but her father came from the Liao family, a prominent family in Liaozhou. If her mother was too young to be seen by her grandmother, she would already be a young lady in the Liao family. The cowardly father only dared to Jinwu Zangjiao. After his mother died, he immediately sent himself to Xie's house to defect to Xie Kanghe. At that time, I was still a child who couldn't do without his mother, crying and making noise all day long. Except for the elder brother's willingness to comfort her, who has cared for her sincerely? Today, her heart can only pretend to be her elder brother and herself, no matter if it is the Xie family's property or anything else, she doesn't care about it. When Xie Yue and Xie Xiang were always on guard against Jiang Xiaolou, she even laughed at them for making money, but when she found out that her father was going to let her eldest brother marry Jiang Xiaolou, this feeling changed completely. She became angry, frustrated, and very sad.
Mother Gu's face turned blue for an instant. She turned her head and took a look. There was no one in the room. She hurriedly pulled Xie Yu into the inner room, lowered her voice, and said, "Miss, you won't be to the eldest master--"
In one word.
Xie Yu's face turned red all of a sudden, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Mama Gu, almost forgetting her words. Yes, despite her young age, she is very sensitive to the relationship between men and women. Her eldest brother is like her father all year round. She often wakes up in the middle of the night and prays quietly to bless him to return safely, but she has never begged for her father who loved her. . Knowing that the eldest brother came back today, she deliberately took off his favorite Bai Haitang and went to see him, just to make him happy... However, this is her secret, and she never dared to reveal it on weekdays. She knew better than anyone that if her thoughts were known, her father would definitely hate her, Xie Yue Xie Xiang would be extremely despised, and even the gentle eldest brother would never want to see her again. At that time, she would lose the opportunity to see him again... However, such a secret, after all, could not hide from Gu's mother.
"Miss, you are crazy! You are the daughter of the Xie family, and the young master is your eldest brother!"
"What big brother, he is not—" She blurted out subconsciously.
"Miss, you are going to stop the terrible thoughts. Thanks for your last name. You are brothers and sisters. There is absolutely no second possibility. If the master and others know about it, do you have a way to survive?" Mother Gu panicked. , His face turned pale with eagerness.
Xie Yu's face was like a snow flake, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she was silent. The Xie family took her in, and her father made her the daughter of the Xie family. This identity will stay with her for a lifetime. She thought about her eldest brother, day and night, it was just crazy thoughts... she didn't know these words. In the end, she stood up suddenly, sat down again, and couldn't help saying: "I'm an orphan, isn't Jiang Xiaolou too! Why is she—"
"It's not the same! You are a young lady who thanked the parents, and grew up here! Miss, listen carefully, don't say that the master gave you the surname Xie, even if you are still surnamed Liao, the master will not agree! You don't want to I want to see, he was kind enough to take in the helpless daughter of old friends, and then raised you and married you properly. Everyone would praise him for his kindness! But if the Xie family took care of you, he would give it away when he grew up. When you go to the young master's house, what a nasty place the Xie's family has become, can he agree with such a virtuous person like the master?" Mother Gu persuaded her motherly.
Xie Kanghe wanted Jiang Xiaolou to marry into Xie's family, and others could treat it as repaying grace. But Xie Yu is different. Even if she still keeps her surname now, but lives in Xie’s house, she owes Xie’s kindness. If you marry Young Master Xie, everyone will say that Xie’s family will hold back the favor, Calculate the orphan, don't mention how bad it is to spread it out. What's more, she is now the upright Fourth Miss, and this identity cannot be changed for a lifetime.
Xie Yu didn’t know where the energy was coming from, suddenly raised her brows and her eyes were full of stern expression:
I know I’m not in my turn, but someone like my eldest brother must be equipped with someone who convinces me. Jiang Xiaolou except one Zhang Lian, her life experience is as helpless as I am. How can such an orphan be worthy of eldest brother!" She always whispered softly. Mother Gu had never seen her show such a terrible expression, and was shocked for a while. Up.
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of cracking porcelain outside the door.
Mother Gu was the first to react, and she rushed out and dragged in the people outside, furious: "What did you hear!"
Mo Er saw that Xie Yu and Gu's mother looked nervous, both staring at them with wide-eyed eyes, their eyes were extremely harsh, her heart trembled, and her tongue was immediately at a loss: "Slavery...slave...nothing heard." Said, her feet took a step back subconsciously.
Mother Gu glanced at Xie Yu, her lips lost all their blood at this moment, and the panic in her eyes was shocking. Mother Gu raised her hand and slapped Moer: "Don't get out yet!"
Mo'er's face instantly blushed, she didn't dare to say a word, and quickly stepped back.
There was a moment of silence in the inner room, and Xie Yu said dejectedly: "Mom, she must have heard it all--"
Mother Gu frowned. The girl Mo'er is the son of Xie's mansion. Although she is loyal to her work, she is the son of Xie's mansion. As long as she is from the mansion, she is not immune to Aunt Wang. Coerced. Let her listen to this today, and it will reach Wang Baozhen's ears tomorrow if she is not sure. Except for the master and the eldest young master, no one really welcomes the fourth young lady. If everyone knows her thoughts, or the rumors are all over the sky, a sister who admires her brother, even if there is no blood relationship between them, the status will be determined early. Yes, the consequences are simply unimaginable...
"Mom, you must save me!" Xie Yu couldn't help but panicked, "What should I do... If Moer says something to outsiders, everything is over!"
Even if Mo'er is really loyal to Miss, others might not try to get things out of her mouth. Xie Yu has reached the age of being out of the pavilion. If this matter is really spread, I am afraid that waiting for her is either death or long companionship to the ancient Buddha. Xie Yu was brought up by Gu's mother. How could she watch the other side fall to this point?
"Miss, I will stare at Mo'er, and will not let her talk nonsense." Mother Gu made up her mind in a moment, her expression gloomy and authentic.
Xie Yu was frightened, and she shuddered subconsciously after hearing this: "You..."
Mo'er was unsure all night, no matter where she went, mother Gu stared at her, even when she was showing respect, her cold and secluded eyes were inexplicably scared. That night, she was on a night watch outside when she suddenly saw a figure swaying at the window. Mother Gu! She was so scared that she almost didn't call out. Mother Gu shook her head and waved to her, as if she had something to tell her. She hurriedly got up and went out...
The night at Xie's house was very quiet, and the drums of the third watch had been ringing for a long time.
Fluttershy, who insisted on watching the night, fell asleep first, and woke up in the middle of the night wearing clothes, only to realize that there was a man standing at the window, standing tall, looking at the moonlight outside the window. Fluttershy couldn't help but startled, and waited to see who it was before he breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, why aren't you sleeping so late?"
Jiang Xiaolou did not answer her, but just looked at the moon outside the window. The moon tonight is very bright and beautiful. In the fundus of her eyes, depression and clarity coexist, and the dark tide is surging unconsciously.
Xiaodie was a little worried, and called out again: "Miss."
Jiang Xiaolou seemed to have just recovered. She noticed Xiaodie's a little uneasy look. She couldn't help but press her lips sideways. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. She glanced at the moonlight again, and asked calmly, "What day is it today?"
"Huh?" Xiaodie was stunned, standing there for a long time before reacting, "Miss, today is the tenth day of September."
On the tenth day of September, there is still one month before her birthday. In the past, when this time came every year, the Qin family would specially celebrate her birthday, and Qin Si would also carefully prepare gifts for her...Speaking of which, it has been so long since the blink of an eye, maybe those people have already forgotten her. However, she soon reminded them of her. On the tenth day of October, there is one month left...
"Xiaodie, go to sleep." Jiang Xiaolou passed by and left Xiaodie, who was still standing there for unknown reasons.
Fluttershy scratched her head and became more confused, but turned her head to look at Miss's back, and obediently swallowed the question. In the middle of the night, why suddenly remembered and asked the day, is there anything special about this day today?
This night, Jiang Xiaolou slept very soundly. The Xie’s family arranged it well. The exquisite and soft bedding, the big bed full of floating flowers, and the snow-white new mantle, you can smell the smell of the sun when you sleep in the bedding. It was a good night, everything seemed so good.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaolou wore an inner robe and sat in front of the bronze mirror, with long dark hair hanging down, Jing Jing combed her carefully, with a meticulous expression. After the combing was done, she opened the mirror carefully. When she saw the exquisite jewelry inside, Jiang Xiaolou keenly noticed that Jingjing seemed to be taken aback, and then continued to dress her up casually.
Everyone thought that Jiang Xiaolou was an orphan who came to the Xie family, so Wang Baozhen prepared everything according to Xie Kanghe’s instructions, even clothes and jewelry were readily available, but when dressing, Jiang Xiaolou insisted on using his own. Jewelry. These things were quietly transferred to Doctor Wang when she was in the Guose Tianxiang Building, and she had just retrieved them... Obviously, these precious jewels made Jingjing involuntarily stay in a daze. She probably did not expect that Jiang Xiaolou would actually There are such good things.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Jingjing's expression in the bronze mirror, but smiled slightly.
I was dressing up here, but the door was pushed open with a slam. Jingjing frowned and looked at Fluttershy at the door, thinking in her heart: After all, it's from outside, it's so unruly. But before she turned her mind, she saw Xiaodie rushing to Jiang Xiaolou in a panic, panting and panic: "Miss, that girl is dead!"
Dead, who died? Jiang Xiaolou glanced at her, the ripples in her eyes shook, and he said: "Speak well."
Xiaodie's face turned pale, and the words almost popped out of her mouth: "It's the girl Moer who followed Miss Fourth. She fell into a well last night and died!"
With a snap, the comb in Jingjing's hand fell suddenly to the ground, and her face turned pale.
