Chapter 448 Past events

"Mother, it's all over, and my daughter doesn't blame you." Qiuyan patted her mother to comfort her.

In the past few years, my mother has done everything for her personally, and she has long been warmed by her mother's sincere love.

Mother is indeed not easy, lost her own parents, her husband's family exploited her for half her life, gave birth to a son who doesn't care about her, and her husband is so virtuous, it is easier for women to understand women's difficulties.

When Yingniang heard her daughter's words, tears flowed down her cheeks, her heart ached and she couldn't breathe.

If she could do it all over again, she would never lose her daughter just to open a restaurant to earn money!

Qiuyan wiped away her tears, controlled her crying, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mother, it's all over, crying too much hurts my spirits, and Ping'er should wake up when I cry again."

When Yingniang heard this, she quickly raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, and said, "Oh, mother, don't cry, we don't cry anymore, your body is already weak, crying too much hurts your vitality."

After hearing this, Qiuyan didn't know if it was a hallucination or what, but felt that his body was very light. Even after crying, he didn't feel short of breath, but instead felt refreshed.

Maybe it was the bowl of goat milk that warmed my body?

thump thump.

There was a light knock on the door, followed by Fang Xinyu's voice.

"Yan'er, is mother in the house?"

When Qiuyan heard that her husband had returned, she smiled and replied, "Here, I just brought me goat milk."

"Then you stay with your mother, I'll bring you the wash water."

Yingniang hurriedly patted her face, walked towards the door and shouted in a low voice: "Xinyu, it's getting late, so don't go out. A maid will bring you washing water. Don't scare Ping'er."

Fang Xinyu stopped at the door. After Yingniang came out, she was afraid that her son-in-law would find out that she was strange, so she rubbed the handkerchief on her temples, told them to rest early, and left in a hurry.

The sky was gloomy, and Fang Xinyu didn't notice anything strange about his mother-in-law.

And Yingniang returned to the next door, which was a guest room specially arranged by Zhihua for her. The decorations in the residence were very suitable for her appetite, and there was also a sachet of calming herbs hanging in the room. She slept very soundly in the past two days.

In the past, she fell asleep when she came back, but today her daughter's words lingered in her ears repeatedly, and she lost sleepiness while sitting on the chair.

I want to meet Qian Haonan who has a lot of gray hair in his hair a month ago...

Yingniang closed her eyes abruptly, but a tear quietly fell from the end of her eyes.

Five years ago, Qian Haonan took her to escape, and after she settled down, he also helped her reconcile with Wang Chuansheng, including Xun Yan'er. It can be said that without his help, she might not even be able to escape from the Wang family as a woman, let alone her. Don't talk about finding your daughter all the way south.

He followed behind without asking for anything in return and silently gave his help. She was not hard-hearted, and it was just that sad and hopeless at that time, and his appearance gave her support.

But after all, they are destined to each other. Both of them have their own children, and the road to being together is even more difficult.

It doesn't matter if they don't meet or meet each other, she will serve Qiuyan and Ping'er with peace of mind, guarding her daughter to make up for more than ten years of debt.

"Yingniang, are you asleep? I cooked a bowl of goat's milk for you too."

Liu Zhihua's voice came from outside the door, Yingniang hurriedly got up, wet the handkerchief with wash water, and wiped it on her face to cover up the tears on her face.

squeak —

Liu Zhihua pushed the door in, saw Yingniang washing her face, frowned and said, "The water is getting cold, I'll ask the servant girl to bring you a basin of hot water."

"Hey, no need, this water has been left for noon, and it is suitable for warm use."

Yingniang walked over with a smile, put her arm around the man and said helplessly, "I'm not sick or in pain, what is Zhihua doing with these precious things, I'm in good health, I don't need it at all, don't waste it."

Liu Zhihua gave her a look, put the goat's milk into her hand, and said: "Look at what you said, it's just a cup of goat's milk, how expensive is it, this thing can be drunk even if you are not sick, you are going back to your own home , you should eat and drink, but don't be polite to me."

Yingniang held the goat's milk and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are angry again. I just said, I drink and I drink. Zhihua treats me best, and I will not be polite in the future."

Liu Zhihua's complexion slowly relaxed, and she said with a smile: "Okay, you have a drink and rest early, and I have to go to bed early, and it's time for Aunt Liu and the others to arrive tomorrow, so don't doze off and make people laugh."

Yingniang nodded, helped someone squeeze her shoulders, and said: "Zhihua has worked hard, you don't have to worry about me, I live with you more easily than my son-in-law's house, we are a family, go and rest, catch up tomorrow I'll go with you to greet the guests."

Liu Zhihua was not polite either, and patted her hand with a smile, "Then it's settled, you have to greet the guests for me tomorrow."

"One word from a gentleman."

"I know how to do this! A gentleman can't follow what he says, but Jiaojiao taught me..."

—

at the same time,

Backyard.

Jiaojiao was lying on the dressing table with her chin resting on her face, and Aqin was braiding her braids behind her.

"Miss, this black hair is black and shiny, and it's so lush when it's raw, it must look very nice when you put it up in the future." Aqin boasted while braiding.

Jiaojiao heard that she casually hooked the braided braid on the right side and touched it. It looks good, but it is too hot in summer.

Just now I had a hot pot meal with my sister, and I was sweating a lot. After washing and drying, I wasted a lot of effort. I was a little bored when I lay down and slept. Ah Qin came up with such a method of braiding. Let’s start with, you won’t be pressed down when you sleep, and you will fall asleep comfortably.

Aqin wove the left one nimbly, and then took the silkworm snow silk pajamas from the closet at the back, and waited for the lady to change.

Jiaojiao opened her arms and let Aqin wear them, but she muttered in her mouth: "Ever since I asked about Jian Jia's marriage last time, brother Yan hasn't been here for a few days, maybe something is hiding from me."

Jian Jia sent a letter half a month ago, saying that he could not bear to be separated from the young master, and the two decided to spend the rest of their lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, begging her not to blame, and begging for her and the master's favor for the sake of serving for many years.

Jiaojiao was a little depressed when she heard it at first, but after thinking about it, Jian Jia probably really loved that man, so she talked to Brother Yan about it after some hesitation.

Brother Yan has a clear distinction between public and private, and of course there will be punishment if he agrees, that is, Jian Jia is not allowed to get closer to the Wang family.

Jiaojiao was a little skeptical at first, maybe brother Yan forced Jian Jia to say this, but then Jian Jia asked her to meet in a teahouse outside, and the man beside her was the man she had seen beside Princess Sheng Yuan, and then she also Don't worry about it.

Jiaojiao was still a little bit reluctant when she thought about it, she pouted and said, "I don't know if that man is Jian Jia's beloved."

Aqin's eyelids flickered slightly, but she said with a calm smile, "Sister Jianjia has always been calm, and the person she likes should have a good nature. After all, it's almost time to get married. There are also weddings to be done at our house. I think so. Jian Jia didn't want Miss to be overhearted, that's why she didn't send any wedding invitations."

Jiaojiao also sighed when she heard this, and said helplessly: "Jian Jia also rushed, and the elder brother also rushed, and they all went on the same day. Then I will give Jian Jia some dowry compensation, so don't let the in-laws look down upon it."

Aqin nodded with a smile, and said: "The maidservant will also present a gift, and Aqin is very envious that Sister Jianjia can be missed so much by Miss."

Jiaojiao smiled when she heard this, and comforted her: "Aqin is also very nice. When the time comes when Aqin finds someone else, I will also prepare a dowry for you."

"Wow, thank you miss, I am so touched by this slave girl, so I don't need to save my current moon silver, I can use it to buy snacks, anyway, there will be a lady to help me save my dowry..."

Aqin is an optimist, and Jiaojiao always laughs when she is with her every day. Hearing what she said, Jiaojiao burst into laughter, and the thing about Jian Jia just now was forgotten.

Aqin played with the lady for a while, Jiaojiao yawned again and again and felt sleepy, Aqin gave someone a soothing sandalwood, and then retreated.

Jiaojiao was indeed tired. There were too many people at home in the past two days. She ran around with her parents all day long, and fell asleep after a while.

…

That night,

A certain remote house,

In the cold dungeon.

Snapped!

Snapped!

"It's not true!"

"Ah—I really don't know, please let me go..."

Snapped!

"what…"

Xuan Mei, who was dressed in a black robe, had black hair standing up high and neatly, her brows and eyes were cold, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she exuded a cold aura.

Followed by a woman also dressed in black, but the woman looked at the people in the prison, bit her lip and lowered her head in shock.

Xuan Mei glanced at the man covered in blood in the prison, then at Jian Jia, and said sarcastically, "This is really a tough guy. He has been interrogated for a day and a night, and he is still protecting that princess."

Jian Jia has a thin body, pale face, bowed her head and never dared to speak.

If the master didn't see Miss Jiaojiao's face, she would have died long ago. Today, the senior sister brought her here just to let her see the current situation clearly, how could she not know.

Seeing that the person was silent, Xuan Mei let out a light snort, kicked open the iron door, and walked straight in.

The instruments of torture on the side were mounted on a red-hot iron bucket, and sparks were still radiating from time to time.

The subordinates who were punishing people saw the steward, quickly stopped to salute, and respectfully shouted: "This subordinate has seen steward Mei."

Xuan Mei nodded lightly, and said indifferently: "Okay, go out and rest, I'll come."

"Yes!"

The two retreated, and suddenly only Qihe was left tied to the iron pillar covered in blood in the cell, and Xuanmei and Jianjia were on the opposite side.

Qihe, who was tortured and covered in blood, looked up weakly, first glanced at Xuanmei, and then his eyes fell on the woman beside him.

Suddenly, his eyes widened a little, and he was overjoyed, coughing and calling out weakly: "Jia'er."

Snapped!

Xuan Mei immediately slapped him, her eyes were full of sternness, she grabbed his hair tightly, and said with a sneer, "He has clear ears and eyes, and he speaks so sharply, it seems that torture is not enough."

Qihe's scalp was so painful that he was forced to raise his head. The scratches and burns on his face and neck were clearly visible. He ignored the mocking torture of the woman in front of him, stared at Jianjia's direction, and kept shouting: "Jia Son, let's go...don't worry about me..."

Jian Jia lowered her head, her whole body was stiff, and she was holding on to the hem of her clothes to hide all her emotions.

"Advance by retreating. As expected of Princess Shengyuan, she can really take advantage of a woman's compassion, but your trick is useless. Jian Jia herself is in danger. Do you expect her to save you?"

Xuan Mei sneered, pulled his head and slammed it against the pillar, and said, "Don't dream!"

"what!"

Qihe screamed again, there were sharp objects protruding behind the pillars, and the skull seemed to be pierced by needles, and the piercing pain hit.

"Say, where is Princess Shengyuan!"

"I really don't know. At the beginning, that woman pulled me as a backrest. We were chased and fell off the cliff. After waking up, she disappeared. I really didn't lie!"

Xuan Mei let go of him, walked aside expressionlessly, picked up the red-hot black iron, turned around and pressed it against his abdomen without hesitation.

"Ah—" Accompanied by a scream, smoke crackled.

Jian Jia couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted hoarsely: "Senior Sister."

Xuan Mei didn't stop the movement in her hands, she turned her head to look at Jian Jia, and asked coldly, "Why, do you want to speak for him?"

Jian Jia shivered, her delicate face was haggard and thin, she lowered her eyes and said calmly: "He has been tortured like this, maybe he really doesn't know the whereabouts of Princess Shengyuan."

Xuan Mei looked at her with disappointment, and scolded: "I think you are deceived by lard! He is the most trusted face of Princess Shengyuan, and the one who took him with him when he fled, do you think he Are you an ordinary person, how could you become so brainless, can Miss Jiaojiao really protect you all the time!"

Jian Jia bit her lower lip tightly, thinking of Miss Jiaojiao, and thinking of those relaxed and comfortable days in Wang's house, her eyes were red, regretting it, she begged and said: "Jian Jia dare not disobey Senior Sister, can Senior Sister let me out? Saved my life, I, I just don't want to see these cruel images."

Xuan Mei sneered, walked towards her and slapped her, "It's ridiculous to say these words! At the beginning when your parents abandoned you, you were raised by the six doors. You have to do things for others when you eat and receive favors from others. You thought your life How much is it worth? What are you without six doors!"

Jian Jia's ears were ringing from the beating, she covered her face with tears in her eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

Qihe was not interested in their slapstick, he repeatedly recalled what the woman said just now, and his eyes quickly blinked.

Six doors have always been ruthless, Jian Jia, as a low-ranking member, involved their Yangwang faction and lost her life, all relying on that Miss Jiaojiao?

It seems that the princess is right, that girl is Rong Yan's lifeblood!

Thinking of this, his desire to survive is excellent, and they still have a chance!

Qi He seized the opportunity to look at Jian Jia, looked at her with affectionate eyes, and said in a hoarse and desperate voice: "Jia'er, you don't have to plead for me anymore, I have never liked people who are dying. That bad woman Sheng Yuan, I will look for you in my next life."

After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth fiercely and directly bit the root of his tongue.

Blood was dripping from his mouth, flowing down the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the frown, Xuan Mei quickly took off his chin, took the hemostatic medicine from the side table, and poured it all into his mouth.

"It's not that easy to want to die, so bear with it!"

After finishing speaking, Xuan Mei called someone to find the doctor.

Jian Jia kept her head down, but her tears fell to the ground one by one. She clenched her fists tightly and her veins bulged slightly, and finally closed her eyes.
