Mo Da went out happily, but came back with a panicked expression.
The poor girl couldn't bear the fright when she saw him rushing towards her emotionally, and fainted directly. Although part of the reason was that she hadn't eaten for two days and was weak, she still frightened Mo Da severely. Jump.
I heard before that Ya'er was too scared to let him approach when he saw Hou Ersheng. He even laughed at Hou Ersheng with his brothers for being too fierce. He actually scared his own daughter, and it turned out that it was his turn on this day too. Don't mention the feeling in my heart.
He hugged his own daughter all the way back to the government, the military doctor came to see, and diagnosed a result of starvation and dizziness.
The gangster and Sister-in-law Song didn't dare to follow, they stayed outside the government office and hesitated to enter. Sister-in-law Song was worried about her daughter, and the gangster was cautious by nature, so he didn't worry about the two of them.
Wei Mingyan was writing a letter, and had just sent someone to send it, when he saw Mo Da come in, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Just now, Hou Er came to tell me that you must come to me to ask for some good medicinal materials, as expected gone."
"Ziyu is in charge of the key to the warehouse where the medicinal materials are stored, you can go find him."
"grown ups."
Mo Dahanhan smiled, with both joy and worry in his eyes, Wei Mingyan couldn't help laughing at him with this look.
"What's the matter? Didn't the children come back?"
"Brothers have been finding their own children these days, but no one is like you."
"No, it's not..."
Mo Da felt embarrassed when he was told.
The situation in his family is different from other families. At that time, all the children in the village were taken away. Most of the boys were sold to other families as slaves, and the girls were sold to Hualou.
These days, relying on the list left by Master Jin, they have indeed found their children one after another. Some of these children have suffered, and some have been tortured, but they all returned to their parents well.
His Niang Xuan was different.
Ya'er recalled that when Xuanniang was crying on the road and wanted to find her father, when she arrived in the city, she annoyed Ren Yazi before she could be delivered to the flower house, and just in time to show her power again, she was in front of all of them. In front of her, she beat Xuanniang severely.
Xuanniang was too young, she was beaten to the brink of death, and they stayed in the car for less than a moment and couldn't move. They cried together and got no response even if they touched her, they all thought that Xuanniang was dead.
Later, that Ren Yazi threw him directly from the carriage, and what happened afterwards was found out by the locals after he got the news from the girl.
"Xuanniang's current adoptive mother regards her as a treasure. Although she doesn't have much money, she has raised her well."
Mo Da had a bitter face, he was happy but didn't know what to do, "Now Niang Xuan is afraid of me, I want to take her home, but her adoptive mother raised Niang Xuan, I see her appearance, I really don't want to leave Xuanniang."
Wei Mingyan stood up, "You don't have any female relatives in your house, so it's fine to take your daughter back. Her adoptive mother is young and not suitable."
"yes!"
Mo Da sighed, "My lord, please give me an idea."
"Let me ask you." Wei Ming said, "You took Niang Xuan home, do you have time to accompany her?"
The five-year-old and three-year-old man froze for a moment, then shook his head unwillingly, "I still want to follow my lord to accomplish great things together, and I don't have much time to spend with Lady Xuan."
He also understood what Wei Mingyan meant, and although he felt reluctant, he still said, "Then, Niang Xuan, will you continue to follow her adoptive mother?"
"Following is to follow, but in a different way."
Wei Mingyan picked up the things someone bought from the table, picked out a pile of beautiful and expensive hairpins, picked out a jade hairpin, and handed it to Mo Da.
Looking at the jade hairpin in front of him, Mo Da took it in a daze, "My lord?"
"What is this for?"
"You just found your daughter, and you don't want to give her some gifts. She hasn't seen you for seven years, and she's still young. If you don't try to please her, she won't be close to you."
As soon as Wei Mingyan finished speaking, Mo Da suddenly realized, "Thank you, my lord, I'm going to find my daughter now."
"etc."
A handsome man in a pure white fox fur coat stopped him, "In a moment, you do this..."
***
In the gorgeously furnished bedroom, the girl has been huddling in a corner and looking at everything around her in fear since she woke up. Even if the maid came up to ask warmly if she wanted to eat, she still kept silent.
"Miss, you can eat as much as you want. The doctor said that you are starved to death, and it is time to replenish your body."
The maid persuaded, and the girl who was huddled in the corner of the bed burrowed into it with red eyes, and said in a low voice, "I want a mother, where did you get my mother?"
Several maids looked at each other in blank dismay, they were all the original maids in this mansion, and now they were sent over by the master of the mansion with the house and people. Although they are very skilled in serving people, they are blind to the current situation.
They only knew that the person in front of her was the daughter of the owner of the mansion, but why she was like this, and why she kept asking for a mother, they didn't know.
Seeing that they didn't answer, Song Liu'er hugged herself tightly, her eyes full of fear.
Although she is ten years old, but because she was weak since she was a child, she has always stayed at home obediently learning to sew or help her mother with things, and has hardly had any contact with strangers. She herself is afraid of meeting people, and she is even more timid than Widow Song.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a tall and strong man whom he had never seen before saying that he was his father, and there were so many maids around to serve him. Maybe others would be a little happy, but for Song Liuer, who grew up dependent on her mother, , is very scary.
She clenched her teeth, her body tensed and she stopped talking.
"Liuer, Liuer..."
Widow Song saw such a daughter as soon as she entered the door. She called her name and walked quickly to the bedside.
Song Liu'er, who had been holding herself back into a ball, immediately burst into tears when she saw her, and rushed into her arms.
"mother!!"
"Liu'er, Mother's Liu'er..."
Standing outside the door, Mo Da watched the two hug each other crying and laughing, feeling both happy for his daughter and sad at the same time.
"What? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hou Er patted him on the shoulder, "Don't feel bad, just be alive."
Mo Da also smiled, stretched out his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and sighed, "Yes, it's good to be alive."
"In the future, you will have an extra girl, which is pretty good. I used to think that, second brother, you don't like to find a woman to serve you, and you don't care about your family. How can you take care of Liu'er when you come back? Now it's all right. It would be great if a girl came out to take care of you."
Hou Er's words made the slight discomfort in Mo Da's heart completely disappear, he nodded, "Yes, this is very good."
"Okay, let's go, the adults have to go home and pick up their relatives, and told us to go together."
Mo Da responded, and walked away with Hou Er. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back, seeing the pretty girl snuggling up in Widow Song's arms obediently.
She was very weak and her face was pale, but she was alive.
Alive, as long as you are alive.
Mo Da looked at his daughter and smiled contentedly. In this life, he has nothing more to ask for.
****
In the capital city, in a narrow courtyard, there are bare tree trunks standing in the middle, and the passers-by pass by in a hurry, not bothering to take a look.
"Miss is still ill?"
"I don't think it's going to work. Since I went to worship Buddha with my wife, I haven't recovered. I heard that I almost couldn't even go back to the capital. It was because of the kindness of my wife that I brought it back."
"I didn't take less medicine. Why can't I get better from this disease? Wasn't the eldest lady in good health before?"
"That's right, since the eldest lady came back, she hasn't left the yard. Last time I saw her maid in the yard secretly go to please the lady's eldest maid, saying that she wanted to find a way out for herself."
"I saw all the maids in Missy's yard hiding together and loafing, giving all the work to the newcomer. If Missy hadn't been soft-tempered and ill, she couldn't hold back, how could she be so arrogant."
A few little maids were avoiding gossip, when they suddenly saw a girl wearing the same dark red maid clothes as them coming up the path, they immediately shut up.
The girl didn't seem to notice them, and continued to walk forward with the basket in her hand. The maids looked at her back and whispered, "See, it's her. It doesn't matter what kind of bullying she is. She can't even eat." Let her go to the kitchen to pick it up."
"It's so pitiful to follow such a master as the young lady."
"She's okay. The nanny next to the eldest lady was a pain in the past. Let me tell you..."
Qing Ziru carried the basket and walked lightly in front. Hearing these words, her face turned slightly to the side, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.
She went all the way into this desolate little courtyard, and the little maid who was supposed to be cleaning had long since disappeared, and she seemed to be slacking off somewhere.
Qing Ziru has long been used to the Ji family's unhealthy family style. She knocked on the door and said softly, "Miss, it's me."
Ji Xiawan's weak voice came from inside, "Come in."
Qing Ziru entered the door, put the basket on the table, took out the food in it little by little, and after arranging it, went to the curtain and helped Ji Xiawan up with a pale face.
"Ziru..."
Ji Xiawan clutched her chest and coughed lightly, her beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled together in discomfort, and she asked weakly, "Did the people in the kitchen do anything to you today?"
"The kitchen is very busy today, so I don't have time to talk to me."
Qing Ziru replied, and carefully took out a handkerchief to help Ji Xiawan wipe the sweat off her forehead, "Miss, why don't I hire a female doctor, since you're going to suffer like this, how long will it take for you to recover?"
"No, don't go."
Ji Xiawan braced herself and tried to stand up, "As long as the people in the kitchen don't make things difficult for you, sit down and eat with me."
Seeing that Qing Ziru was about to open her mouth to refuse, she smiled wryly and said, "You are the person next to me, and the person in charge will not give you a good look. When you go back, there will be no food left for you. Eat with me." Well, at least we can have a full meal."
Qing Ziru responded and helped her to sit down.
She was indeed being embarrassed by the manager, but she had already taken advantage of him to go shopping at the house, put on a sack and beat her up severely in retaliation.
It was not only revenge for the person in charge who deliberately made things difficult, but also revenge for not taking Ji Xiawan seriously.
If it was said that Qing Ziru protected Ji Xiawan when she was sent here at the beginning because she was grateful to him, then after getting along for these two months, she has already sincerely protected Ji Xiawan.
Ever since something happened to her family, she escaped from Beijing with her elder brother, and settled in Miaocheng again. After encountering many ugly things along the way, she wanted to protect Ji Xiawan's innocence even more.
"Miss, this is a nourishing soup, please drink some."
Ji Xiawan looked at the bowl of broth with a pale face, shook her head, covered her chest to suppress her nausea, "I can't drink it, you should drink it."
Recently, she was tired and exhausted, and because she was afraid of her stepmother, she didn't dare to drink those medicines at all. Now she was trapped in the yard with no way out.
The former maid beside her begged her to redeem her body, saying that her parents wanted her to go back to serve her. Ji Xiawan didn't know what she was thinking, she just saw herself, a young lady, trapped in the yard every day, and had no way out with her.
At that time, Ji Xiawan was at the worst stage of illness, and she didn't have the energy to argue with her at all. Seeing that the money she gave was indeed enough, she let him go.
A maid whose heart is no longer attached to her as a young lady, even if she is forced to stay by her side, according to her situation at the time, she is still causing trouble for herself.
At that time, she was trapped in this small yard by her stepmother in the name of recovering from her illness. There was no one she could trust around her, and her younger brother was assigned to another place by her father. .
Fortunately, not long after, Ziru came to her side.
"Ahem..."
Ji Xiawan coughed a few times, suddenly became dizzy, couldn't help lowering her head and retched.
"Miss."
Ziru hurriedly stepped forward to pat her on the back, and hurriedly poured water for Ji Xiawan, "Miss, please invite a doctor."
"No, I can't ask the doctor..."
Ji Xiawan's scalloped fingers firmly grasped the table, so hard that she turned white.
Ziru didn't understand why she insisted on refusing to invite a doctor. Before she came, the adults gave her silver and sent her cronies with her. Ziru was on the bright side, and everyone else was hiding in the dark.
Although it seems that she has no status in this mansion and it is difficult to move forward, in fact, as long as she wants to, it is not difficult at all to bring a doctor to the mansion quietly.
But Miss Ji, who has always been smart, would rather hold on than call a doctor.
Ji Xiawan retched a few more times, lying on the table in pain, trying to catch her breath.
When she was young, her mother always took her out to various gatherings. Although she was young, she could always hear a lot of news when she followed her.
The adults only thought that the children didn't understand, and they didn't take it seriously at all, but they didn't know that when Ji Xiawan was thrown into the countryside at such a young age, with no one to teach her, day and night, she was recalling those elders who said If you have passed, use it to gradually transform yourself into the appearance of the lady you should have been.
It was very bitter to do so, but she was already suffering, so she couldn't let herself fall into a more unbearable situation, at least, she had to grow up to be what her mother wanted.
The communication between wives, apart from various etiquette, is husband and child.
Ji Xiawan once saw a lady who was just pregnant. She couldn't eat meat, and she would retch just by smelling it. That appearance was exactly the same as her current situation.
She might be pregnant with that man's child.
After realizing this, Ji Xiawan lay in the curtain, her whole body was cold, she gritted her teeth and refused to let herself cry out.
Being humiliated and innocent, she can hide and pretend that nothing happened, but with a child in her belly, how can she hide it.
She knew that a child was very fragile in the womb. She often heard that the wife of a family accidentally had a miscarriage. As long as she slipped and fell, blood would flow out, and the child would be gone.
Ji Xiawan also wanted to do the same. She wanted to hide the child, but she thought about it all day in a daze, but she still didn't do it. At night, she had a dream.
I dreamed that a baby was crying, and in her eyes, little by little turned into blood.
Ji Xiawan woke up screaming, crying in Ziru's arms when she heard the voice.
She is not very old, but she has also fantasized about the future.
Who will she marry in the future, will she have a child, a girl or a boy, and how she will teach it.
But now, the future that she was looking forward to with all her heart appeared in front of her with such an unacceptable appearance.
Ji Xiawan knew that she should kill this child, while he was still young, before anyone discovered him.
But she couldn't do it.
It was unfortunate that the child was born in her womb. If she killed him, would he be unable to be born again.
Dreaming back at midnight, in addition to dreaming about the child, she sometimes also dreamed about that day when the man sent her back and said that he wanted to marry her.
Even though she knew it was impossible, Ji Xiawan wished so much that she could really come with that man's child.
Even if he is poor and has no fame, as long as he comes and marries her, the child will not have to die.
Ji Xiawan started to copy Buddhist scriptures, originally to calm her mind, but she couldn't calm down at all.
She had seen a child in a woman's womb. She was only three years old when her younger brother was in her mother's womb. Her mother held her little hand and placed it in her belly, letting her touch her round belly.
"Wan'er, you're going to be an older sister soon, aren't you happy?"
Ji Xiawan even remembered that she thought at that time that she should protect her mother well and not let her get hurt.
My mother also copied Buddhist scriptures at that time. She said that when she copied Buddhist scriptures, she would pray to the Buddha to bless the child in her womb to be safe and give birth smoothly.
Ji Xiawan copied the Buddhist scriptures, but what she wanted was to hope that the child would have a good pregnancy in the future and not be reborn into the womb of her cowardly mother.
She used to want to be like a mother most of all.
But as a mother herself, she can't protect him, but also hurt him...
Ziru packed up her things and came back, looking worriedly at the pretty but pale girl standing in front of the table copying Buddhist scriptures, she didn't cry, but she looked more uncomfortable than crying.
what happened…
Before, Miss Mingmingji was not like this.
Although he is not in a good mood, he has been pretending to be ill to deceive his new wife, secretly pouring medicine out of the window, and even teaching Young Master Ji his homework when he comes.
But now, her whole body seemed to be crushed.
But obviously, she has always been by Miss Ji's side.
Ziru was worried, and felt that Ji Xiawan's situation might be too much to think about. After thinking about it, she put a harmless tranquilizer in Ji Xiawan's bowl that night, and watched her eat and go to sleep. Ye Hei climbed over the wall and left the house.
Not long after, Ziru quietly opened the back door and entered the house with a blindfolded female doctor.
The female doctor was stuffed with a big price, was blindfolded, and was ordered to silence, and she followed silently. When a hand was stuffed on her hand, she felt her pulse for a while, nodded, and was taken away again. go out.
When the blindfold on her eyes was taken off, she looked at the anxiously urging girl in front of her, and quickly replied, "The lady has no other serious problems, but she is pregnant, coupled with restlessness, and her body is a little weak. Prescribe a few doses of medicine, and it won’t take long after taking it.”
pregnant...
Ziru's eyes widened.
The past few days, Miss Ji has been depressed and depressed. Could it be that she guessed that she is pregnant
If a woman becomes pregnant before marriage, if someone finds out...
Qing Ziru sent the female doctor away in a hurry, and carefully tucked Ji Xiawan's quilt after returning, and quickly wrote a letter and sent it out.
The adults told her that to conquer the world, Ming Media is marrying Miss Ji.
But now they have children, and women are pregnant in October, so they can't wait.
***
Wei Mingyan had no idea that his future prince had been discovered. There were many people in their group. Although they all chose cavalry, because their village was far away from the main city of Yunzhou, they set off in the middle of the afternoon and went until night just arrived.
Sitting on the horse, looking at the village in my memory from a distance, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Immediately, the heroic man's eyes showed anticipation, and there was a hint of homely feeling timid.
Hou Er next to him asked with a smile, "My lord, it's rare to see you like this."
"I haven't been back for so many years, and I don't know if my sister is married or not, and if my mother is in good health."
Wei Mingyan looked a little regretful, "I was afraid that my family would be hurt if things failed, but now that I think about it, I should have brought them here as soon as possible."
"It's not too late now. The old lady and the lady will be happy to see you."
The heroic man immediately smiled, "Hurry up, I can't wait!"
He walked in the front, "Drive!!"
This group of well-dressed soldiers entered the village path.
In the village, the woman who was kicked out was crying with her mother.
