Chapter 23
"crunch..."

The sound from the heavy wooden door was very clear in the silent night. The man paused, looked around cautiously, and then entered the room in a flash.

The room was very dark, but the black shadow came prepared, took out a torch from his pocket, lit a torch, and immediately, all the furnishings in the room appeared before his eyes.

I saw that this house was not a house for people to live in, it was full of sundries.Hei Ying didn't even look at the things in the house, and walked straight to the southwest corner. It seemed that he was familiar with everything here.

After reaching the southwest corner, she stood still, looked at a calligraphy and painting on the wall, stretched out her hand, and opened the calligraphy and painting, revealing a wooden gear inside, the black shadow turned the gear three times to the left first, and then turned to the left again. Turning to the right three times, with the sound of creaking and creaking, the wall unexpectedly moved, and soon a dark space was revealed, and the black figure flashed, entered inside, raised the torch, and looked around stand up.

I saw that this was also a room, which was several times larger than the outside room, and it was full of boxes.

He stretched out his hand and opened a cabinet, which was full of gold and silver treasures. The eyes of the black shadow exposed outside the veil were bent, and he reached out and grabbed something and stuffed it into his bosom, but he raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw that it was caught in a crack in the lid of the box. Here, she saw a white thing with only one corner exposed. As if out of curiosity, the black shadow reached out and took the thing out. It turned out to be a small book with densely written words on it.Soi Ying also stuffed the book into his arms.Just as he was about to leave, he heard a person's footsteps.

She hastily blew out the torch and hid herself.

Sure enough, just after finishing all this, a person walked in. In the darkness, the person stopped at the door for a while, then walked in, and stuck himself on the wall. The person actually said: "Bold thief!" , and you are caught without a fight, stealing in our majestic Hou's mansion, do you think you can escape?"

Before he finished speaking, a chill hit the man's face, the man dodged away in embarrassment, and said anxiously: "If you still persist in your obsession, I will call someone!"

Unexpectedly, the black shadow did not speak, and continued to pounce on him...

"The good man spares his life, the good man spares his life, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"..." After hearing this, Soi Ying was stunned, and his subordinates also paused. Unexpectedly, this was the man's plan to slow down the attack. Under the control of Yingying, he hurriedly ran to the door, shouting while running: "Come on..."

However, after only shouting two words, the black shadow covered his mouth.

"Call again, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

The black shadow scolded in a low voice.Although the tone is very harsh, but one can tell that it is a female voice, and it is still childish.

"Woooo..."

Although the room was very dark, the man's eyes widened suddenly, but the black shadow took a closer look.

"Why are you shouting, this place is now Second Auntie's territory, if you have the ability, keep shouting!"

Soi Ying said angrily, but the voice was a female voice.After finishing speaking, she lowered her head to look at the person carefully, and then said with some annoyance: "Did you recognize my voice?"

The man nodded again and again.

"Then I don't have to hide it from you!"

The voice of the black shadow was even more annoyed, and then she pulled off the black veil on her face.

"Zixin! It really is you! No wonder you are so familiar with the terrain here."

This Guihuayuan was originally Madam's residence. After Madam passed away, Second Aunt couldn't wait to move here. Zhu Zixin grew up here, so naturally he is very familiar with everything here. Although Zhu Zixin is not the same as before, But she accepted all her memories, and of course it was the same as hers.

Although he had guessed that it was Zhu Zixin, Zhu Ziyi was still extremely surprised when he saw her face.

"Why, brother doesn't know me?"

Zhu Zixin smiled and asked.

"No, you are not her! Zixin has never learned martial arts, but you are so good! How could you be her?"

Zhu Ziyi looked inquiring, and by the light of the torch, he took a closer look at the person in front of him.But he looked at it for a while, but couldn't see any difference.

"Since my brother thinks I'm not Zhu Zixin, who is she? And who am I?"

Zhu Zixin stood up, looked at Zhu Ziyi who was still sitting on the ground, and asked?
"I don't know, it's just a feeling I have, I..."

"Then, who knows about this place?"

Zhu Zixin asked again.

After scanning the surroundings, Zhu Ziyi shook his head, and said just now: "This place is where my mother hides things. No one knows about it except Zixin and me."

"So, brother still doesn't believe me?"

Handing over his hand, Zhu Zixin smiled and looked at Zhu Ziyi.

Zhu Ziyi glanced at her suspiciously again, before handing her his hand, Zhu Zixin pulled him up with force.Then he said: "I know there are some things, I can't give you a satisfactory explanation, but I can tell you very responsibly, no matter how I change, I am still the younger sister who likes to cling to you and run around. It won't change!"

These few words she said were very sincere, which moved Zhu Ziyi a little, and solved most of the doubts in his heart, but he still had doubts about why she suddenly became violent, but at this time, he didn't want to do it again. Asked.Since Zixin didn't say anything, she naturally had her reasons.

"Okay, I believe you! But, now this is Second Auntie's territory, it's not suitable to stay for a long time, let's go out first and talk about it later."

Zhu Ziyi looked around and said in a low voice.

"Ah."

Zhu Zixin nodded in response, the two blew out the torches, and walked out of the secret room one after the other.He left here quietly.

*

On the second day, one morning, Zhu Jing had just returned to the mansion from the early morning when he heard a figure walking towards him.

The figure of that person was Pin Ting, wearing a lavender dress, standing upright with his head held high, his eyes far away, and his expression calm...

"lady!"

Immediately, Zhu Jing Lengzi murmured the word Madam.

"Father, Xiner pays respects to Daddy!"

Zhu Zixin approached, bent over and saluted Zhu Jing, and said.

"Oh……"

Hearing Zhu Zixin's voice, Zhu Jing just came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, his expression had returned to normal, and said, "Get up."

"Thank you dad!"

Zhu Zixin got up and was about to speak, but saw that Zhu Jing had already left.

"Father, my daughter has something to say."

Zhu Zixin hurriedly shouted behind him.

"Oh, what's the word?"

Zhu Jing stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked.

"Father, what happened yesterday made my daughter very sad, so my daughter thought about it all night, for fear that all the things my mother left me would be sold by my second aunt, so my daughter dared to ask my father to send the dowry my mother left to me. Dongli Garden, my daughter wants to keep it by herself."

Zhu Zixin lowered his head, and after speaking, raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhu Jing's face, and then waited quietly for Zhu Jing's answer.

Of course, she had already noticed Zhu Jing's face. Just after she made it clear what she came for, Zhu Jing's face changed slightly, and her brows frowned suddenly. She naturally understood what this expression represented. In fact, of course she It can be felt that Zhu Jing never liked this daughter at all, but before, Zhu Zixin was not favored and was not troublesome, but she was at peace with each other. Now she is different. Yesterday, because of her troublesome , already made Zhu Jing lose face, saying these words today will naturally make him even more unhappy, but she doesn't care whether he is happy or not, in her revenge plan, she has never ruled out this person!
Zhu Jing didn't speak, and the surroundings were very quiet. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Zhu Zixin.

Just now, he suddenly discovered that Zixin had grown up. Her figure and appearance were so similar to her mother that at that moment, he actually regarded her as her mother.

And at that moment, he also felt a sense of guilt in his heart. Although everything happened because of her back then, she didn't know about it. Moreover, she had been married to Zhu's family for more than ten years, and he had never given her anything. Looking at it with a good face, now that she is dead, he suddenly realizes that that person will never bother him again, and his heart is empty instead!
Just now, when Zhu Zixin approached from a distance, he suddenly had hallucinations, thinking that the person in front of him was Madam, and he suddenly felt that he had a lot to say to her, so he called Madam.However, when he woke up and saw that the person was not his wife but Zixin, the guilt that was left in his heart disappeared in an instant!
Although she is the wife's daughter, she is always the one who reminds herself of her mistakes.Because of her, he had no choice but to marry his wife and forged that marriage. Therefore, whenever he saw her, he would think of that day.Because of this, from the day she was born, he never hugged her, never gave her the fatherly love she deserved!
But just now, a deep sense of regret was born in his heart!No, he shouldn't regret it, he never loved that woman, and her child didn't deserve his father's love!It was she who caused him to lose his true love, it was she who took away his happiness, she died, it was her own fault, why should he regret it?
And this daughter, she actually came to beg him to give her the dowry that the woman left her, it was wishful thinking, he would not agree!
Zhu Jing's expression became darker and darker. Thinking of this, he let out a cold snort, and his voice became much colder.

"Xin'er has really grown up, and looks more and more like your mother!"

After a pause, he continued: "As for those dowries, even I don't know where your mother hid them! Look! She's just so scheming! Do you want those dowries?"

After stopping, he looked at her. His eyes did not have the kindness that a father should have when looking at his daughter, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and he said, "She never believed me, but she has always loved you very much. Why, before she died, she Didn't I tell you the whereabouts of those things?"

he asks.

Zhu Zixin remained silent.

He turned and left, the tall figure getting further and further away.

Zhu Zixin looked down at the dress on his body, and a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his lips.

Today, she said that she deliberately dressed like this, she knew that he regarded her as his wife, and she also saw his expression.

In fact, getting the dowry is not her goal, what she wants is to torture his heart, so that he will never escape the condemnation of his conscience. What she wants to take revenge on is not only the other people in the Hou's mansion, but also him!One thing that Zhu Zixin couldn't let go of until the last moment of her life was that she didn't understand why her father didn't like her all her life.

She helped her figure it out!Naturally, I have to give her an explanation!
"Ma'am, the second lady's people came to report just now, saying that... no, that little bitch actually went to the master to ask for her mother's dowry!"
