Lian Shiya only felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head, turning her heart cold. She powerlessly sat on the ground.
A short while later, the butler brought over two wives and said, "Master has ordered that the Xiao family must leave the manor before daybreak. Please help me pack up. Hurry up."
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Xiao Xian Min stood up and held onto the back of the chair. She did her best to straighten her back and walked into the room with heavy steps.
"Mother …" Even Shiya also limped as she followed him.
Xiao Xian Min looked at all the familiar things in the room and suddenly cried sorrowfully. Lian Shiya, seeing this, walked over and stood beside the bed, wiping her tears as she cried, "Mother, what should we do …"
"Madam, do you want this servant to help?" the woman asked, standing in the doorway.
Lian Shiya was instantly incensed as she turned around and cursed, "What urge! Who do you think you are? No matter how down and out we are, we are still your masters!"
One of the wives said, "Third Miss, please don't blame this servant. This was all ordered by the lord, and the mistress is to leave within an hour. If time passes, this servant will be punished."
"You all …" Lian Shiya was rendered speechless.
At this moment, the Xiao family's old patriarch had already dried his tears and stood up. "Close the door for me. I have something to say to the third miss. We'll leave in an hour. I won't make things difficult for you."
After the door closed, Lady Xiao held Lian Shiya's hand and sat on the edge of the bed. With a serious expression, she said, "Ya Er, time is of the essence. You must earnestly listen to your mother and firmly remember her words."
"Mother, speak. Ya Er, listen." Lian Shiya raised her sleeves to wipe her tears.
You must be careful, observe more, speak less, and do not clash head-on with Lian Rue. Just bear with everything and do not be impulsive, because this is different from the past. You must pull up your tail in Lian Ri's house, and do not be angered by Lian Ri Ran, understand?
"…" Lian Shiya nodded unwillingly.
"Continue to observe in secret. I will think of a way to contact you. You need to find the best time to expose them and let everyone know their ugly face." If you don't know when to stop and take note, then find an excuse to come to the Xiao Estate and tell me. " The Xiao Clan continued to explain.
"Hmm, I will firmly remember. I will make sure everyone knows about the adultery between Lian Gu and Lian Ru Yue. I want to see if they still have the face to continue living!"
"Also, I have left the three bottles in Lian Lu Yue's yard. I don't think Lian Ru Yue was aware that Yun Xiang didn't want others to know that she had committed this crime, so she definitely wouldn't say it. You must remember to tell me about that …" As Lady Xiao spoke, she glanced outside the door and saw two figures imprinted on the door. She leaned close to Lian Shiya's ear and slowly but clearly spoke.
"Yes, yes, I'll remember it, Mother." Lian Shiya nodded continuously, but her tears fell.
"I still have the fetus in my womb, so I still have a chance!"
An hour later, the Xiao family carried a bag and two old wives followed behind them as they walked out of the manor.
"Mother, mother …" Lian Shiya stood on the doorstep of the Clear Spring Academy and cried as she watched the Xiao Clan's departing figure.
Xiao Shi turned around and waved her hand, "Ya Er, quickly go in and stop looking!"
"…" Lian Shiya clenched her teeth and clenched her fist tightly. She turned her head and limped as she ran inside.
As she slowly walked, her gaze fell upon every blade of grass in the mansion, and her eyes were filled with yearning. When she thought that she had already been celebrated, that this place no longer had any relation to her, she became extremely sorrowful. She suddenly felt weak all over, and her feet became weak.
"Auntie Xiao." At this moment, a faint voice came from the front, a voice that deeply disgusted the Xiao family.
She slowly raised her head and saw Lian Yue standing under the moonlight with a calm expression and a faint smile on her face. This smile caused Xiao Xian to be extremely sensitive.
"You've put in so much effort to chase me away, and now, you're feeling proud of yourself?" Xiao Xian Min looked coldly at the person in front of her, but couldn't hide the deep hatred in her eyes.
"Mm. To be honest, I'm a bit proud of myself." Lian Ruyue nodded and said.
"You!" Xiao Xian Min didn't expect that Lian Ru Yue would be so honest and not hide it at all. "Don't be too pleased with yourself. It's not over yet!"
"Auntie Xiao should go back to the Xiao family and take care of her child. As for Third Sister, you don't need to worry. Once she has lost her mother, I, as an elder sister, will definitely take good care of her, just like how aunty took care of me in the past." Lian Ruyue had a smile on her face like she was bathed in spring breeze, but when she said her last sentence, her eyes were ice-cold.
"Lian Ru Yue, don't even think about getting Ya'er. Don't forget, no matter what, she is still the county lord of Emperor Feng. Even the Old Madam and Old Master have some scruples. Don't go overboard!" Xiao Xian Min looked at Lian Ru Yue's smile and warned her. She felt a deep fear in her heart.
"The time has come. If you don't leave now, father will come to chase you away. It will not look good. Take advantage of the dark night to leave." Lian Ru Yue coldly left behind those words; she was too lazy to continue speaking with her.
Xiao Xianmin was a person who had been sent back to the Xiao family. It was unlikely that she would have any good days in the Xiao family. Thus, he decided to let her suffer. He even left Shi Ya for her to torture.
"…" The Xiao family still wanted to say something, but they were stuck in a deadlock. They could only lower their heads and leave.
When she walked outside, she discovered that there wasn't even a single carriage at the entrance. She immediately turned around in anger and said, "Why isn't there a single carriage? How am I supposed to go back …"
However, the moment she turned around, the door to the residence had already closed.
"Hey, hey, you can't do this to me!" She rushed forward, but it was useless. The door was already heavily closed, so no one paid any attention to how hard she pounded on it.
The Xiao family stood alone at the pitch-black entrance. The cold wind blew drearily. She seemed to be alone, causing her to shiver several times.
Without a carriage or a carriage driver, she wanted to walk back to the Xiao family by herself. If her brother knew that she had been abandoned by the Prime Minister, how would he scold her?
At this point, there was no other way. She could only take advantage of the darkness to return to the Xiao family. Otherwise, if she was seen standing here in the early morning, she wouldn't have the face to continue living.
Inside the door.
Lian Ru Yue coldly looked at the tightly shut door, turned around and left with an expressionless face.
After returning to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard, Qing Dai came over with a stew. "Eldest Miss, you've been busy the entire night. Have some hot soup."
At this moment, Leng Mei walked in and said, "Eldest Miss, Chen Xiang died. Those who committed suicide hung themselves in the woods."
When Lian Ruyue heard this, her hand slightly paused. She did not say anything, but lowered her head and drank the soup in one gulp. On her calm face, there was no expression.
"She doesn't want to leave the main road of the Kang Zhuang Road, yet she chose to think about something that she shouldn't have. You and Fairy Qingmei can bury her together." Lian Meng Yue said after finishing a bowl of soup.
"Yes, Eldest Miss." She lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Lian Ru Yue looked at her and said, "Burn her stuff and give some silver to her parents in the countryside from my little storage room. Just say that she found someone else to marry here and married them off. Let's just end it here."
When Fairy Qingmei heard this, she kneeled on the ground and said tearfully, "Eldest Miss, even if it cost you money, you treated her so well, and she betrayed Eldest Miss. When she had secretly left Xiao Niang's clothes for First Miss to make a fragrant bag, she should have told Eldest Miss about this matter so that she would be free from danger as soon as possible. There was no need for last night's incident to happen. "
"You don't have to blame yourself, but with your personality, she was the one who found this place. It has nothing to do with others, so don't think too much. After you bury her, you can rest for two days."
