Although Erni was much more relaxed, she still felt a little inferior in her bones. She didn't even know how to place her hands at this moment.
"Senior, okay."
After saying a few words hesitantly, the second lady unconsciously turned red.
It's just that she is the wife of a noble family, so she can't just burst into tears outside, otherwise it will embarrass the Xiao family.
"Good boy, you come in with me and let's have a good talk." The second lady said with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Lin Luo had a guess in his mind and turned to look at Er Ni.
It seems that the second master Xiao and the second wife must have some ideas in mind, and now they are just letting them go in to confirm.
Also, for cultivators, there is a sense of connection between blood, just like she was able to sense the existence of Lin Zhanhong before.
"Let's follow Auntie in." Lin Luo tentatively asked Erni in a low voice.
"Okay." Erni nodded, "I'll listen to Luo Luo."
Seeing Er Ni's cowering appearance, and remembering Xiao Ziyue's arrogance and domineering attitude in the past, the second lady still couldn't hold back her tears.
She turned around, turned her back, wiped away her tears before putting on her smile again, and brought Lin Luo and the others inside.
As for Xiao Ziyue, she couldn't think anymore. Her only thought now was to determine the identity of the little girl.
A group of people walked into Xiao's house, but no one spoke. Everyone had their own thoughts.
Of course, there is an exception.
This was not the first time that Lin Zimo came back to the Xiao family. He would occasionally visit the aristocratic family with Fourth Uncle Lin.
The Xiao family is a little more gorgeous than Lin Luo, but the general construction is similar to that of the Lin family. The four major families are like this. I don't know if the ancestors did it intentionally.
Along the way, Lin Zimo kept marveling at the fact that he was the only one speaking.
Not long after, Head Xiao Er brought everyone to the study.
Because Xiao Ziyue was in a coma, the second lady still asked the doctor to come over to see her injury. After treating the injury, she did not ask anyone to send Xiao Ziyue back to her room, but deliberately stayed there. She didn't have it anyway.
Life is in danger.
It can be seen that although several people vented their anger, they still did not kill anyone.
As for the second lady's actions, Lin Luo already understood her thoughts.
While Xiao Ziyue was recovering from her injuries, the Second Madam turned her attention to Er Ni again. Her eyes were tender and her eye circles were always red.
"Girl, what's your name? Can you tell me about you?" The second lady walked to Er Ni's side as she spoke.
Erni glanced at Lin Luo and saw that her face was full of encouragement before she answered.
"My name is Erni. I grew up in Songjiagou. I was not liked because I was born with six fingers. I was picked up by my parents. They said that when they picked me up, I had an unusual-looking swaddle."
Erni said, taking out the swaddling clothes, "This is it."
The second lady took the swaddle from Er Ni's hand, opened it and finally burst into tears.
"Yes, it's this. I sewed it myself."
"You are our daughter, Mengyue. Originally, you should be called Xiao Mengyue." Head Xiao Er said.
Er Ni was actually mentally prepared when she came. Now when she heard what Master Xiao Er said, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"Why did you throw me away! Is it because I was born with six fingers? Luo Luo said that it is not my fault that I was born with six fingers. This is not something I can decide!" Erni's eyes were filled with anger.
Hearing this, the second lady looked at her with a hurt face.
"I didn't, we didn't abandon you, we always thought you were dead." The second lady suddenly reached out and hugged Er Ni.
Lin Luo looked at the mother and daughter, and looked at Mr. Xiao Er, who was also very moved.
"Uncle, please tell me what's going on."
Master Xiao Er withdrew his gaze, turned around and closed the study door, and then spoke slowly.
It turns out that Mrs. Chu and Master Xiao Er were in poor health after they became Taoist couples. It may have been due to injuries in their early years, or it may have been because the monks themselves did not have many children. Anyway, the two of them became Taoist couples at that time.
I haven't been able to have children for more than ten years.
The two of them discussed adopting a child.
As a result, at that time, Xiao Er's friend was hunted down and his whole family was killed, leaving only Xiao Ziyue, who was just born and had not had time to name her.
The couple were very happy to see the child, so they adopted their friend's daughter and named her Xiao Ziyue.
Five years passed by in a flash, and on Xiao Ziyue's fifth birthday, the second lady fainted and found out she was three months pregnant.
The whole family is happy, except Xiao Ziyue who is unhappy.
It may be that the servants accidentally talked about it and let her know that she was not their biological daughter. Therefore, when Xiao Ziyue, who was only five years old, learned that the second wife was pregnant, her temperament changed drastically. She felt that her parents would not want her all day long.
.
It took several months for Mr. Xiao and his second wife to reassure Xiao Ziyue. The second wife was already thinking about how happy their family of four would be in the future.
However, unexpectedly, something happened to the second lady's mother, and she had no choice but to go back to see her mother with her pregnant belly.
At that time, Xiao Er was in charge and couldn't get away because of the Xiao family's affairs, so he couldn't send the second lady back, but Xiao Ziyue went back with the second lady.
After returning from settling matters with her mother's family, the second wife didn't know what was going on and had a seizure halfway through.
With no other option, Xiao Ziyue asked a farmer for help.
The second lady gave birth to a six-fingered female baby. She and Master Xiao Er had already agreed that the child's name would be Xiao Mengyue. She and Xiao Ziyue would always be sisters.
The second lady, who had just given birth, was in very poor health, and her cultivation had not recovered, so she needed more rest. Unexpectedly, she happened to meet a rival of the Xiao family at that time, and he also brought some of his followers with him, and they hunted down the second lady.
Immediately, the second lady wrapped her newborn daughter in her own clothes and asked Xiao Ziyue to run away with her sister.
Later, Master Xiao Er dared to come and rescue the second lady, and then went to look for his two daughters, but it took him half a day to find them.
Finally, on the edge of a cliff, I saw the unconscious Xiao Ziyue, and the second lady's clothes covered in blood and broken. The clothes were hanging on the edge of the cliff, and a large piece of cloth was caught on a sharp edge.
Not long after, Xiao Ziyue was rescued by Master Xiao Er. She said that they were chased here, and then she saw her sister being slashed several times with swords and thrown down.
What Xiao Ziyue said seemed to be correct with the situation at the scene, and the second lady finally couldn't bear the blow and passed out.
Later, Master Xiao Er sent people to search, but found nothing, only her torn clothes.
Therefore, Mr. Xiao and his second wife thought their daughter was dead.
The second lady was already choked with sobs, and the wound in her heart was torn open again, which was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
