C11 (1/2)

About the time it took to make a cup of tea passed.

When the second lady of the Xie's Mansion and the Old Madame Xie arrived at Xie Qi's courtyard, she found a group of servants clustered around, seemingly wanting to fill the entire courtyard up.

Wen Jiu had seen this battle before, when he was still at the Xie Family.

It's just that at that time, Second Madame Xie was far from being as well-groomed as she is now.

Wen Jiu only remembered that in his previous life, he was dragged down from the bridal sedan by someone, and on the bed laid the dead Xie Qi.

The woman with disheveled hair beat herself up like a madman, gritting her teeth as she cursed, ”You're the one who killed my Qi'er! You return my son! ”

”I want you to die with me!”

”My son is dead, so don't even think about living!”

Then, Wen Jiu was locked in the woodshed, waiting for the day of Xie Qi's burial, to be buried alive together with him.

That time she had been hungry for two days and two nights, maybe longer, and she could not remember clearly, and she thought she would starve to death in that little woodshed.

Just then, Meng Chengyun came over.

In the past, when Wen Jiu was alone, she also thought that if it wasn't because there was no way she could survive the Xie's Mansion, would she have quietly become a widow?

Although he didn't have a husband, he could continue to be a child. No matter how weak he was, he could still adopt a child. When he was old, he would still be able to walk around the knee and enjoy the bliss of heaven.

In the end, no one would poke their spine for the rest of their life. Even if they couldn't get married, the last bit of their sincerity would still be trampled on.

”Miss Wen, Miss Wen?”

Xie Heng's voice was low and somehow seductive.

Wen Jiu woke up from his stupor and coincidentally met the youth's amber eyes.

There was a smile in that person's eyes. It was like the wind was blowing and the moon was shining.

He said in a voice that could only be heard by two people, ”What are you afraid of? With me here, do you still need to be afraid of others eating you? ”

The young man's voice seemed to be born lazy and carefree, with a hint of a smile on it for no reason.

When Wen Jiu regained his senses from the memories of his past life, he realized that Xie Heng and Xie Qi had always greeted each other. Old Madame Xie who was leaning on his walking stick had a head full of flowery hair, but was still in good spirits.

Second Madame Xie was about forty years old and was looking at Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu did not wear the wedding dress that the Xie Family had sent over. The set of coarse clothes that he was wearing had already been washed many times, the blue print had already started to turn white, and there was not a single bit of gold or silver in his hair. Just by tying it with a red rope, the clothes that the Xie's Mansion girl was wearing were all better than hers.

Wen Jiu did not feel that anything was amiss and bowed respectfully, ”Wen Jiu greets the Old Mistress, Second Madam.”

The Old Madame Xie nodded his head in satisfaction. Although this girl's background was a little lacking, her bearing was not at all like a poor commoner.

”The manor has just sent over a pair of blue parrots. They can sing a little song and it's quite interesting. You two brothers go take a look first.”
