Rudonghai

Chapter 231
After being kicked out of Xia Mansion, Mrs. Xia might have already killed her before she escaped anywhere.

After all, there is this hidden danger, who knows when Lord Xia will come to his senses, feel that something is wrong, and go to chase him back?
Only then did Miss Xia realize that her biological mother's death was unknown, and it was Mrs. Xia who framed her!

Just because Mrs. Xia has a special liking for his biological mother, Mrs. Xia found this concubine distasteful when she first got married, and she was pregnant before her. I don’t know how many outsiders took it as a joke, so she naturally found an opportunity to avoid future troubles. .

"Thank you Mrs. Xiao for taking me in. The little girl is very grateful. It's just that I want to avenge my biological mother more than getting married." Miss Xia's eyes were ignited with blazing revenge. In order to wait for the right opportunity to attack Mrs. Xia!
Gu Yunxiao sighed, shook his head and said, "Of course you have to take revenge, but there's no need to pay yourself for it for the rest of your life."

Miss Xia looked as if she wanted to fight Mrs. Xia forever, she was afraid she wanted to kill Mrs. Xia to avenge her biological mother.But after that, he had to pay for his own life for Mrs. Xia.

One life of the biological mother, plus one of hers, two lives for one life, this business is not very cost-effective.

"There are many things that you don't have to do yourself, and you don't have to dirty your hands. If you can trust me, then you can recuperate in the mansion, and watch the show while waiting for the scenery to get married." Gu Yunxiao couldn't understand Master Xia, and even more so. Mrs. Xia didn't like it, the caring look just now was actually hypocritical, it was disgusting to see.

Although there was a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, only disgust in his heart.

Mrs. Xia is not good at restraining herself in front of her. If she were to meet Miss Xia alone, her words might hurt people.Gu Yunxiao simply came out to sit in the township, Madam Xia was able to restrain herself and dare not make mistakes.

When Gu Yunxiao said this, he suddenly asked: "Bringing it up, does Miss Xia have someone in mind? Tell me, and ask Qiuhong to inquire about it. If there is no wife and concubine at home, and the character is decent, the girl will marry again." Not too late."

When asked about this, Miss Xia couldn't help blushing.

Qiu Hong frowned, and said in a low voice: "The servant girl asked several times before Miss Xia opened her mouth, but it was the groom of the Xia residence."

"Groom?" Gu Yunxiao was taken aback, but she gave an unexpected answer: "How did Miss Xia know the groom in Xia's mansion?"

The groom is a foreigner, a girl raised in the back house, how could he meet him?
Seeing her surprised expression, Miss Xia lowered her head and her face turned pale: "The little girl was embarrassed by her mother and locked up in the woodshed without food or drink. It was the groom who happened to pass by and secretly brought in two steamed buns. That's why she didn't cry. I was hungry and survived two nights."

"So that's how it is," he was a kind-hearted person. He was afraid that he would not be able to see it, so he would take the risk and secretly deliver food.Gu Yunxiao sighed, the huge Xia Mansion has no bad intentions for Miss Xia, and the one who treats her with sincere pity is not a relative, but a mere groom?

"The little girl understands that Madam must think that the groom is of humble origin and is a servant of the Xia Mansion. The dignified girl of the Xia Mansion would actually fall in love with a groom, and she must think that I am willing to degenerate. It's just that I have never received any kindness from others since I was a child. Even the nanny used to steal my monthly money when I was a child, and when I cried, I twisted my arms hard to tell me to shut up." Even the nanny was like this, let alone the maid who served, Miss Xia was full of eyes. Sadly, the only one who treats her well is a groom, who has become the little thing in his heart.

Gu Yunxiao sighed: "It's not easy for you. It's rare for someone to lend a helping hand to you. Naturally, you will never forget it. But gratitude is one thing, and living together is another. How old is the groom and what is his appearance? Who is there, you don't know at all. If it's just because of these steamed buns, because of gratitude, it would be too hasty and reckless."

She looked at Qiuhong, who nodded and said: "I have inquired about this servant, and this groom is about twenty-five, and he is the son of Xia's family. He once married a maid in the mansion, but died of illness five years ago. The child is left behind. There is an old mother who is blind at home. His father died of illness when he was young, and he was brought up by the old mother. He is usually taciturn, and occasionally only talks to the horse. He will secretly deliver steamed buns to Miss Xia. The meaning of the mother. It is said that the old mother was once favored by the girl's biological mother, so she let the groom quietly take care of the girl."

Miss Xia didn't expect such a relationship. She wanted to repay her kindness. Was it the groom's mother who came to repay her kindness?

She thought that the old nanny who blocked her was also blind and lived alone in the back alley outside the mansion. The house was shabby and crumbling, as if it could fall down with a gust of wind.

It's just that such an old nanny still hasn't forgotten the help that her biological mother inadvertently helped more than ten years ago, Miss Xia's eyes turned red immediately: "I have to thank this old nanny, if it wasn't for her, I'm afraid It’s unbearable.”

The father ignored her, the mistress was kind on the surface, and secretly assigned the maid to bully her, and the sisters even taunted and laughed at her. Miss Xia was numb and desperate every day, feeling that she would not be able to live.

After being starved for a whole day in the firewood room, she thought that she was starving to death like this, and that she died cleanly, so that she would not suffer in this house again. Who knew that someone would secretly hand over steamed buns from the window that day, giving her hope of life?
It was also from that day that Miss Xia knew about it.It turns out that not everyone in the mansion is looking forward to her death, but some people are still looking forward to her living well.

So no matter how painful it was, she still gritted her teeth and survived.

After a while, Miss Xia stopped her tears, and her gaze was firm: "The old mother is a good person, and her son is not much worse. Only the groom is still a slave. It may not be easy to leave Xia's house."

If you run away without permission, you will be treated as a runaway slave. As long as the Xia Mansion reports to the officials, the groom will have the evidence of a runaway slave branded on his face for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to go out to meet people at all.

She can't ruin this good man because of her own selfishness.

"It's all about getting rid of slavery, it's not difficult. The Xia family is still counting on you to bring them benefits. Even the moon in the sky is willing to pick it for you. You just want a groom, and it's not a mountain of gold and silver. They don't care about it at all." Care, what is there to be reluctant about?"

Gu Yunxiao pondered for a moment, as long as grooms are not enough and the old mother is still in the Xia mansion, she is likely to be held in the hands of the Xia family. How can a son abandon his biological mother at that time?

"What did the old mother do before, and is she good at it?"

Miss Xia thought for a while, and replied: "The old mother used to be a needle threader in Xia's mansion, and she was a good female celebrity. It's just that the needlework hurt her eyes, and she gradually couldn't see clearly, so she had to do some rough work. Wait for my son As an adult, she can no longer see at all, so she rested and lived in a hut in the back alley outside the mansion. Now she is old and can no longer hold a needle and thread, but she can recognize the fabric by touching it."

"I happen to be short of a nanny who knows how to identify the material of the clothes, so I invite them over." Miss Xia asked for two people at a time, Madam Xia might be vigilant and buckle one.But if Gu Yunxiao wanted it, it would be different. I'm afraid Master Xia would personally send the two servants to Xiao's residence.

Miss Xia left with a thousand thanks, Gu Yunxiao saw that Qiu Lu hesitated to speak, so she asked: "If you have anything to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here."

"Madam really wants to marry Miss Xia to a groom? It's not the right family, even if the two of them don't mind, there will always be some gap between them." No matter how much Miss Xia suffers, she will not be destitute if she is hungry.Even if the groom is expelled from slavery, he grew up as a servant of the Xia Mansion since he was a child, and his humbleness is deeply rooted in his bones, and it is impossible to change it no matter what.

On the contrary, although Miss Xia said it unsatisfactorily, she is a dignified young lady after all.

One is a master from birth, and the other is a servant from birth. The barrier of identity between them is not so easy to break.

Qiu Hong disagreed and said: "What kind of master, which family's master has to be locked up in the firewood room and starve? The servant girl can understand Miss Xia. Since she was a child, her father didn't love her mother or her mother, and her own sister was always rushing to bully her." It is rare for her to meet someone who treats herself sincerely without asking for anything in return, and it is only natural to fall in love with him. From hearing Miss Xia, she knows that she is not a groom but a servant. If the groom thinks of her as a poor little girl What about it? The two of you may not be able to live together, and supporting each other is better than being bullied by others in the Xia Mansion and being involuntary."

Gu Yunxiao said with a smile: "Don't fight here for Miss Xia. What will the groom think? It's better for someone to find out his tone first. If he is responsible, he won't be able to humiliate Xia Da. girl."

Qiuhong volunteered and asked to go out of the house to inquire about the character of the groom.She spent two days with Miss Xia, and felt that the parents and daughter Xia were very pitiful. The two hit it off right away, so she was willing to go for Miss Xia.

Gu Yunxiao readily agreed, compared to the taciturn Qiu Lu, Qiu Hong was the most suitable person to inquire about this matter.

Qiuhong dressed up in disguise, and found Xiao Jiawei who is good at disguise, and pretended to be a street matchmaker.Not to mention a black mole on her chin, she wore two golden hairpins on her head, and the lead powder on her cheeks was so thick that it would rustle down with a grin, making Qiu Lu back away in fright, for fear of being covered in lead powder.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxiao laughed so hard that he almost couldn't stand up straight.Seeing that it wasn't enough, Qiu Hong put on a bright red floral dress, wrapped around her waist, and she didn't know what was stuffed into it. Her whole body was rounded, like a plump matchmaker.

She squeezed her orchid fingers, and winked at Qiu Lu: "What do you think, my little lady, how does this body look like?"

Qiu Lu covered her mouth and turned around to snicker, her shoulders faltering. She really didn't expect Qiu Hong to go all out for Miss Xia: "No problem, anyone who sees you will believe that you are a matchmaker."

It's just too ostentatious, how should I inquire quietly?
