In the dead of night, a lonely carriage was heading to the south gate of Yangzhou. Uncle Zhong was holding the horse and yawning, feeling very sleepy.
Xia Shang looked at the silent Yangzhou outside the car. Under the starlight, it showed unprecedented tranquility. It could be said that the night was as cold as water.
Looking at the sky, Xia Shang could not hide his sadness.
He knew in his heart that his decision to go to Suzhou was a little hasty, and many things in Yangzhou had not been settled yet. This decision was a little selfish. If his wife knew the purpose, she would be sad and weep for a long time.
Do you want to tell your wife what you are thinking?
This is a difficult problem for Xia and Shang to resolve.
When his thoughts were turbulent, he didn't know where the carriage was going. What Xia Shang was looking at was an abandoned mansion. In the dark night, he could only vaguely feel that the front door was mottled, there were specks of moss on the stone steps, and the gilt characters on the plaque read "Xia Mansion"
", the two seals in front of the door look particularly abrupt.
"Uncle Zhong, wait."
The carriage stopped.
Uncle Zhong was a little puzzled. He was about to ask the young master when he turned around and saw the sealed door. He couldn't help but frowned.
No one spoke, Xia Shang got out of the car quietly, walked to the door step by step, and looked up at this once beautiful house.
Xia Shang has not taken a good look at this place since he came here through time travel, but for some reason, his gaze at this moment has a melancholy of wasted years. He seems to be able to feel the passage of time, but it is more about the intimacy and intimacy of blood.
A touch of disappointment.
On the first day, Xia Shang walked out of this door.
But now, everything has become so strange.
Xia Shang stepped forward step by step. He didn't know where the sudden sadness in his heart came from. He looked at the seal, the rust on the door knocker, and then looked up at the once grand plaque, which had been woven and covered by spider webs.
Covered with a hazy white gauze.
Xia Shang suddenly turned around: "Uncle Zhong, do you think our Xia family's case was unjust?"
Uncle Zhong took the opportunity to reminisce, his eyes already dim with tears, and he did not listen to what Xia Shang said at this moment.
Xia Shang shouted again: "Uncle Zhong."
Uncle Zhong was startled and rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Master, what did you just say?"
"Do you think the Xia family's taxes were wronged?"
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "What else can I say? Of course he was wronged! Back then, I was diligent, dedicated to my career, kind to others, and upright. Many businessmen said that I was a model in the business world. How could he
meeting……"
"Okay, okay, I understand."
It seemed that Uncle Zhong blindly worshiped his dead father. Xia Shang quickly interrupted him. Xia Shang knew in his heart that the cases at home in the past should not be unjust or tax matters, and the businessman would not be a little bit
Loopholes? Even Xia Shang has some problems now.
Xia Shang didn't want to think too much about these past events, but his current life was a gift from Xia Mansion. If it weren't for this family, there might not be so many people who were kind to him.
"Uncle Zhong, do you think we have a chance to move back?"
"Ah?" Uncle Zhong didn't quite understand.
Xia Shang didn't explain. He patted the dusty door and said to himself: "Well, I will definitely come back."
…
When I returned to my home in Yulin County, the sky had turned white, and several servants were cleaning the yard, their expressions unnatural.
Xia Shang glanced at them curiously and lowered their heads, not knowing what was going on.
Xia Shang wanted to ask, but happened to hear a cry coming from the distant courtyard. After listening carefully, he realized that it was Xia Xinyi's voice.
I happened to meet Xiaoyue coming out again. This girl is usually lively and lively. Today, she has her head drooped and listless. She is wearing a bright yellow gauze dress with dust on it. She is holding a piece of fine quality clothing in her hand.
Xia Shang passed by, and he was so devastated that he didn't even see Xia Shang.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Xia Shang shouted.
Xiaoyue woke up from her daze, turned her face when she heard the sound, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xia Shang: "Young Master!"
"What’s wrong with you?"
When Xia Shang asked, Xiao Nizi pouted and said angrily: "Master, why did you bring such trouble?"
"What harm?"
"It's that woman!"
"What that woman! That's my sister! In terms of seniority, she's still your master! Why are you so insignificant?"
After being lectured, the little girl was unwilling and blinked pitifully: "But...but she is really difficult to take care of. She has been making trouble all night and it's not enough. Madam is comforting her and she hasn't slept all night.
.”
"Take me over there and have a look."
After going to the inner courtyard, the sound of Xia Xinyi's crying became clearer. When we arrived at the door, we could still hear the sound of things being thrown. I remember several maids outside were milling around, and there was also a little girl who was hit on the forehead by something unknown.
He ran out of it crying, with blood on his forehead. He was extremely pitiful.
Xia Shang immediately became angry after seeing it. He quickly pushed the door open and saw Xia Xinyi holding the only pear wood chair that was still intact and preparing to smash it towards the door. The two little maids beside him were pulling it, but they couldn't hold it at all.
The room was in an indescribable mess, only the bed was still intact. Qin Huairou was sitting there rubbing her forehead, squinting her eyes, looking helpless and tired. It seemed that she had no choice but to let Xia Xinyi go crazy.
Xia Shang entered the room, but Xia Xinyi didn't notice. He was still shouting and crying, but he didn't know what he was shouting. Fortunately, he didn't smash the chair out of his hand.
"What else do you want?!"
Xia Shang's low roar attracted Xia Xinyi's attention. Seeing Xia Shang's gloomy face, Xia Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, as if he had seen an evil ghost, and he immediately put the chair he was holding back down.
Xia Shang came back, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Huairou hurried over and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a weak sigh.
Xia Shang stared. He didn't have the slightest sympathy for Xia Xinyi: "You still think of yourself as the eldest lady? You don't know how to stop, right? I have the final say in this family now. If you are disrespectful to me, I will immediately kill you."
You send it back to Yichunyuan."
Xia Xinyi is really afraid of this younger brother. In just a few months, she suddenly felt that this playboy brother seemed to have changed. He became ruthless and cruel. He said that he would send her back to Yichun Court. You will definitely do it.
of.
Xia Xinyi did not speak, nor did he dare to speak. He sat weakly on the chair and fell silent.
Xia Shang didn't seem to pay attention to her. He treated Xia Xinyi like a relative who couldn't hold up the wall. He was so stupid.
Turning his eyes to Qin Huairou, Xia Shang's eyes seemed as if winter was turning to spring, full of tenderness and pity, which made people envious and jealous, especially Xia Xinyi.
"Madam, go get some rest quickly."
Qin Huairou nodded, but also worried: "Where is she?"
"She? Let her do whatever she wants! If she wants to make trouble and smash things, let her smash them! Someone has locked the doors and windows of this house. No matter if she cries or makes trouble, hits or scolds, they can't control it. By the way.
, give her a white ribbon, it will be convenient if she wants to commit suicide." (To be continued)
