The original simple case became complicated before the three marriage papers. It turns out that more than ten years ago, Xu Zuguang didn't disappear, but he fell in love with the rich and powerful daughter, so he abandoned the woman and became the son-in-law of the family. The concubine of the censor.
All the way he has relied on women, and what he has done is really disgusting!
After the case was reported, the verdict soon came down. Xu Zuguang was deprived of his fame, removed from the official position, and exiled for thousands of miles. Wan Xiuer was punished for eighty years and demoted to a concubine's house. The woman returned to Xu's house with her two children. the true owner of this home.
In order to make up for the official reputation and to express her political position to the top, Wan Yushi did not dare to trouble the woman at all, but sent a lot of silver taels and pavilions with great fanfare to compensate her for the hardships she had suffered over the years. He completely drew a clear line with Wan Xiuer, and even went to the door to apologize in person, and bluntly said that he was also deceived by Xu Zuguang, and he had no idea that he had married two wives.
When the woman saw it, she accepted it, and immediately reconciled with Wan Yushi, and the people in the capital also praised Wan Yushi for being upright and righteous.
But some scars will never be revealed, such as the maid who avenged her master's tragic death, the young orphan who was left alone, Wan Xiu'er who lost a baby boy, and Xu Zuguang, who was exiled and didn't know her life or death. The woman achieved her goal and took away the family business that Xu Zuguang had worked so hard to save over the years, but she was not happy. Her sons and daughters couldn't forgive her for being ruthless, always avoiding her and complaining about her.
They originally had a father who was an official, and in this capital, he was considered a son of an official and could live a well-dressed, well-respected life. But now, as long as they go out, they will be ridiculed for being criminals. Beijing officials and criminal officials, the difference is one word, but the treatment is a world of difference. They should have a better life and a brighter future. As long as the mother is willing to endure, everything can be achieved. But not only could the mother not bear it, but she personally broke down the father and the whole family. What did she think
The children had grudges in their hearts, but they didn't tell the woman that the woman was busy propping up this dilapidated home, and she didn't have time to communicate with them, so the knot in their hearts was tied like this, and it would be difficult to untangle them as time went on.
After Xu Zuguang was exiled, the family had no income, so the woman opened a rouge shop, a snack shop, an embroidery shop, and a spice shop under the guidance of Lin Dan. Lin Dan asked her to use a few skilled masters as a guise, not to reveal her own skills, and the woman did as she did. Those masters could continue to get the peerless formula from her, and they increased their prestige. Naturally, I won't ask too much. As time went on, the crumbling home was taken care of by the woman and became prosperous again.
She spent a lot of money to send her son Xu Weibai to the best academy, gave him money to entertain him, and let him make contacts; she also helped her daughter Xu Yuling prepare a generous dowry, hoping that she could marry a simple population and a wealthy family in the future The family, live a safe and secure little life.
At the same time, she did not treat the little prostitute left by Xu Zuguang harshly, and invited her husband to teach her to read and write. As for Wan Xiu'er, she was too lazy to take care of her, and she never asked a doctor to take care of her body, which caused her to be fundamentally injured, and she could no longer be pregnant.
It was Wan Xiuer who asked her aunt to see the doctor in private. Only then did she learn the news, and then she cried so hard that she hated and poisoned the woman, but she couldn't do anything. She used to be a talented woman in the capital, and she was a perfect match for Xu Zuguang, who was the champion in high school. If she hadn't had that vicious woman, she would be so happy now!
She was suffering day by day, finding that the woman had a gap with a pair of children, and thinking that she could not be pregnant, she actually paid their attention. Every day, she asked for warmth, took care of her, and compared it with the strictness of a woman. It brought the hearts of the two together.
Whenever the two of them came to visit him secretly, Wan Xiu'er wiped her tears and said, "If your father is still there, it is now a 4th-grade national child sacrifice wine, and the entire Guozi prison is controlled by your father, so how beautiful is it to be outside? Our family can also be regarded as a first-class noble family in Beijing. Weibai, why do you need to go to the academy of Lao Shizi to study? Why do you need to saddle up for those playful children? Just a word from your father, you can enter the Guozijian to study, and you will have a bright future in the future. Boundless! Your grandfather is the imperial envoy, and the next step is the prime minister of the cabinet. To describe your fortune in one sentence is that golden scales are not things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they meet the situation."
Xu Weibai's blood boiled with her three or two words, and then she thought that all this was ruined by her mother's paranoid behavior.
Seeing the resentment in his eyes, Wan Xiu'er smiled slightly, and said to Xu Yuling: "Yuling, if your father is still here, you are a serious official lady now, and those who look down on you are not even worthy to give you shoes. It's a pity that your father... alas... "
Wan Xiu'er sighed and wiped her tears, which made the two children feel heartbroken, and deeply hated her mother for being unable to think about it and hurting her father.
In this way, this seemingly harmonious family, which had long since collapsed, managed to support it for three years. Three years later, the little emperor got married, and Xu Zuguang returned home after being pardoned. Seeing his miserable appearance, the woman's resentment faded, but her heart ached deeply, and she broke her quarrel with him, nourished him with precious medicinal herbs, and spent a lot of money on him. This time, he behaved well, and on the bright side to please the woman, he turned around and gave all the money to Wan Xiu'er, making her life more and more comfortable. It's a pity that the two have never been able to have children, and they can only count on the woman's pair of children in the future, so they are more and more active in winning over them.
The two children have lost their father's love for more than ten years, and they have no resistance to Xu Zuguang's favor. Seeing him so frustrated, the resentment towards his mother is even deeper. The woman didn't notice it, but Lin Dan saw the clue, and always told her to guard against Xu Zuguang and his children.
Once again, the woman became obstructed and refused to listen to Lin Dan's advice. She just worked hard to make money to support the family. She would give whatever Xu Zuguang wanted, and she would buy whatever the children asked for. In fact, most of those good things came in. Wan Xiu'er's pocket. They just regarded her as a tool to make money, and they respected her on the surface, but in fact no one looked down on her.
After another three years, Xu Weibai became a jinshi, and the woman spent a lot of money to clear the relationship for him, sent him to the Hanlin Academy, and showed him a good girl who was virtuous and virtuous. However, Xu Weibai fell in love with Wan Xiu'er's niece Wan Ling, and knelt down and begged the woman to fulfill her.
The woman resisted in her heart, but couldn't hold back her son. She wanted to ask Wan Xiu'er to lead the way, but after seeing Wan Ling in person, she did not agree to be beaten to death, because Lin Dan told her that Wan Ling was pregnant, so don't let it go. Xu Weibai was the pick-up man.
The woman was so angry that she forced her son to marry Zhao Huiniang, the girl she was in love with, and finally made the mother and son turn against each other. Later, her daughter Xu Yuling's marriage also made her exhausted. She found a wealthy squire's direct son to be her husband, but her daughter took a fancy to an offer to go to Beijing to take the exam, and almost eloped with that person. If Lin Dan hadn't seen the clue and told the woman to strengthen their defenses, this pair of wild mandarin ducks would have already lived together.
The woman was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, and without saying a word, she fixed her daughter's wedding date, poured her a bowl of soft tendon powder, and sent her to the sedan chair. This time, the mother and daughter also became enemies, and they didn't even want to see each other when they returned home. Xu Yuling only went to her father's and Wan Xiu'er's yard to kowtow, treating that place as her own father and mother, and to the woman. But ignore it.
The woman stood outside the courtyard wall, listening to the laughter and laughter inside, her heart felt as if she had been slashed by a thousand knives. She has suffered for half of her life and tired for half of her life. Who is it for? Just like her, there is Xu Weibai's wife Zhao Huiniang. She was alone in the vacant room all day, and she had to watch her husband take concubines one by one.
The son doesn't kiss, the daughter doesn't recognize her, and the husband has nothing to say except asking for money. The woman can only focus on running the shop. After a few years, she has accumulated a good fortune. At this time, the son and daughter's attitude towards her suddenly improved, begging her to pay to clear the relationship for her father and return to the official career.
With the mentality of compensating Xu Zuguang, the woman agreed, and finally sent him into the army, found a civilian job, spent a lot of money to run her son's career, and personally went to the door to treat her son's upper peak. As long as anyone can help her son in his career, she will try her best to make friends, go into and out of these people's backyards, and diagnose and treat their female relatives.
Her medical skills are only ordinary, but it doesn't matter. In this world, there is no disease that cannot be cured by the remnant soul. With her help, she became prosperous, and Xu Zuguang and Xu Weibai's careers became smoother and smoother. A few years later, Xu Zuguang has established a firm foothold in the army. Although his official position is not high, he has some real power, and Xu Weibai has been an official to the fourth-rank Hanlin Academy.
This originally dilapidated home was finally propped up with the efforts of the woman. When outsiders mentioned her, they praised her with a dignified atmosphere and outstanding ability. She is a role model for thousands of women who are self-reliant and self-reliant. Even many dignitaries appreciate her very much and are willing to make friends with her.
However, at this time, she fell into bed due to overwork. She thought that she had redeemed her sins for so many years, and that her husband and children would always forgive her, but she didn't expect them to visit at a glance, and even cut off her soup and isolated her in a remote courtyard. extinguish.
"They won't come, your contribution is a joke after all." Lin Dan calmly looked at the woman's dying face.
The woman shook her head, as if she was about to speak, but her dry throat was stuck and she couldn't utter a word. The little concubine named Xu Miaomiao secretly bought a few medicines and was feeding her mouth by mouth with a spoon. In this family, Xu Miaomiao was the only one who truly loved her, and would rather not marry and guard her half-dead.
Lin Dan turned to look at the crumbling door, then the door opened, and a young woman walked in, but it was Xu Yuling. She threw Xu Miaomiao away, turned around and emptied the bowl of medicine in front of the woman, and sneered, "ruined my life's happiness, you didn't expect you to suffer this retribution, right?"
The woman's eyes were split, but she was speechless.
Xu Yuling was annoyed even looking at her one more time, so she turned her head and walked out. Not long after, Xu Weibai came, just stood by the bed and stared at the woman's face without speaking. His eyes and expression were very calm, as if he was looking at an object, not his mother. The woman was frozen by this icy gaze, and her red eyes were already filled with tears, but they slowly dried up. She suddenly understood that these people are not worthy of her tears, even if they are connected with her blood.
After Xu Weibai left, Xu Zuguang sent Wan Xiu'er to the door, and said warmly, "Come out after reading it, don't get sick, or I should feel distressed."
"Got it, I'll only have a few words with her, you stand here waiting for me." Wan Xiuer's voice was sweet, tender, and girl-like, but the woman lying on the bed had long since been overwhelmed His hard work dyed his black hair white.
Wan Xiu'er walked to the bed softly, covered her mouth and nose and whispered, "What do you think you are trying to do? Before you knew it, your son and daughter had already called me mother. You are the wife. So what? In the end, your husband is mine, your children are mine, and even all the money you earn is mine. What was the point of you tossing around like that? , do you know how happy I am? I don't have to fight with you at all, and everything you have will naturally be delivered to me. Do you hate it? Do you hate it? "
Wan Xiu'er covered her mouth with a chuckle, then flung the fragrant embroidered handkerchief, and said slowly: "Then you can hate it, hate it, and send me to hell with these two things!" He pushed open the door and left. go out.
There were two lines of blood and tears in the woman's eyes, and her eyes were split open, but who would care
Lin Dan looked down at her and sighed deeply.
The woman raised her right hand high, as if trying to grab the only remnant soul that she was relying on, and said with anger: "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely throw everything away and just live happily. Let these people go to hell too. !" The words fell, and the hand fell to the side of the bed, slowly dissipating the temperature.
Xu Miaomiao ran in quickly and cried bitterly on the woman's body, but she could no longer hear her.
Lin Dan sighed deeply, then hid in the jade pendant and fell asleep...
