"Open the door, open the door quickly, I am the eldest lady, Yuan Zixuan is going to kill me!"
On a dark rainy night, Wen Yao finally escaped to the door of the Wen family. She patted the door hurriedly and kept looking back, for fear that the killer would come after her. The Wen family was her natal family and her only chance of survival.
"Our eldest daughter is the young mistress of the county prince's palace. How could my uncle kill her? Where is this liar from? You can't even try to lie to me. The Wen family is an imperial businessman and they want to steal money!"
An old voice sounded, and Wen Yao felt cold in her heart. She recognized that it was Wu Peng, the second housekeeper who was being punished by her. He was originally going to be kicked out of the house for bullying his maid, but the sixth sister begged for mercy and stayed in the concierge.
He must have taken the opportunity to retaliate against himself and refused to open the door.
Just when Wen Yao was despairing, footsteps came from inside. Wen Yao felt hopeful again and heard the person asking: "Old Wu, who is knocking on the door?"
It was Miss Six of the Wen family, her most beloved little sister, the most favored daughter of the Wen family. Wen Yao smiled, and the Sixth sister would definitely save her.
"It's said that the eldest young lady is being chased by her uncle. Miss Six, this... is unlikely, right?"
"Who is my eldest sister? How could my eldest brother-in-law hunt her down? She must be a liar. Close the door and don't let anyone in. It will bring trouble to the family."
Listening to the cold voice of the sixth sister, Wen Yao felt cold all over her body, but she was unwilling to give up and knocked on the door again: "I am Wen Yao, the sixth sister, please open the door and save the eldest sister, Yuan Zixuan is crazy, he
Really want to kill me!"
"Haha, the swindlers these days even have similar voices, I won't be fooled, and I don't want to alarm my grandmother and young master, remember!"
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Wen Yao fell to the ground in despair. The footsteps of the sixth sister gradually faded away, and messy footsteps came from behind. Wen Yao turned around, and the oncoming sword stabbed her heart.
The killers who followed later, fearing that her death was not complete enough, stabbed Wen Yao in the stomach, neck, and even face one after another. They stabbed Wen Yao to death at the door of her parents' home.
"ah……"
Wen Yao couldn't help but scream, and could even hear the sound of her own bones breaking, especially the stinging pain on her face, which made Wen Yao subconsciously touch her cheek. It felt warm and smooth, without the sticky feeling of blood.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Have you had a nightmare?"
The eldest maid Zhi Qi was keeping vigil tonight and came in holding a lantern. She saw Wen Yao's face full of fear and her forehead covered with cold sweat.
Lifting the curtain, the cool air rushed in, the gentle heartbeat slowed down slightly, and the whole person calmed down.
Looking at Zhiqi's familiar face, I was filled with doubts. Wasn't Zhiqi killed by that beast Yuan Zixuan?
The four maids, Zhiqin, Zhiqi, Zhihua, and Zhishu, all grew up with her and were her right-hand assistants. However, they died tragically under the knife of Yuan Zixuan in order to protect her when she escaped.
"Miss, have a sip of tea."
Zhiqi, who was steady and attentive, poured her tea to wipe her cold sweat and waited on her carefully.
The eldest lady has always been calm and self-possessed, intelligent and composed, and can remain calm even when a mountain collapses. She has been serving the eldest lady for so long, and this is the first time she has seen her look so frightened and helpless.
"What time is it?"
"It's just past midnight, and the night is still long. Miss, how about you sleep a little longer?"
After drinking a bowl of hot tea, the familiar boudoir and the familiar maid made Wen Yao think it was really a nightmare.
"The eldest lady is getting married in three days. Isn't the eldest lady reluctant to leave home?"
Zhiqi felt sorry for the eldest lady. In order for the Wen family to be eligible to be selected as the Royal Merchant, she had to marry the young master of the Prince of Linhuai County, that naughty and absurd dandy.
"In three days?"
Wen Yao is thoughtful, isn’t it a dream?
After that, Wen Yao kept her eyes open until dawn, recalling what happened in her mind. Although she didn't know why she returned to three days before her wedding, no one of her so-called relatives came to save her when she desperately asked for help.
Wen Yao didn't want to experience the pain and despair of being hacked to death again.
The sky turned white, and just after midnight, Zhiqi came over again and asked worriedly: "Do you still want to get up and prepare breakfast for the fifth young master?"
She could see that the eldest lady was not feeling well last night and was worried. However, no matter whether it was cold or hot, windy or rainy, she had to prepare meals for the fifth young master herself. Because the fifth young master was born prematurely and could not get used to the food cooked by the cook, he had always been a eldest child.
The lady does it herself.
The eldest lady is even more like a mother than the eldest wife. Without the eldest lady's careful care, the fifth young master would not have survived to this age.
"No, I'm sleepy. I'll take a nap and wake up in an hour."
"Okay, young lady, you should have a good rest. You are too tired."
Yes, so tired!
As the eldest daughter, her parents taught her to set a good example for her younger siblings and take care of them. She had to worry about the family business and the whole family, no matter how big or small it was. A heavy burden fell on Wen Yao.
Years ago, she was holding her breath.
The eldest brother Wen Yu is the eldest son and wants to inherit the family business. However, he has an impetuous temperament, has high ambitions and low abilities, and is arrogant. Wen Yao has always been worried about passing on the family business to him. Therefore, the eldest brother resents her, and Wen Yao has always known it.
The second younger brother, Wen Zhao, devoted himself to reading the books of sages and sages. He became stupid after reading and was pitiful towards everyone. Wen Yao forced him to go out to practice. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Wen Zhao resented her when he left.
The third younger brother, Wen Yang, was uneducated and had no skills. He skipped classes all day long and slept in flowers and willows, giving him a dissolute air. Wen Yao could only scold him with a stick to make him remember. Wen Yang was afraid of and hated her.
The fourth brother is even worse. He lives in the market, has no skills or skills, and was deceived into almost harboring a gangster, which affected the whole family. Wen Yao directly stopped his monthly payment. No matter how much he begged, he became soft-hearted. Now he is still wandering outside.
The fifth brother is weak and needs to be carefully taken care of in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Wen Yao does everything by himself, but he is getting more and more irritable. He doesn't want to talk to himself. He feels that his sister has too much control and he has no freedom at all.
Sixth sister is warm...
Wen Yao closed her eyes, and there were many calculations hidden under her innocent and innocent appearance, which was so vicious and cunning that it even made Wen Yao feel cold in her heart.
Just when Wen Yao was thinking about her thoughts, a warm voice sounded in her ears: "Sister, you haven't gotten up yet? The fifth brother threw the dishes and chopsticks and lost his temper!"
"Sixth Miss, the eldest lady is not feeling well, please don't disturb the eldest lady's rest!"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you call the doctor? Could it be that the eldest sister is getting married and is too happy to rest?"
Anyone who listens to the innocent and charming voice can imagine how sweet and beautiful the owner of the voice is, making people's hearts melt.
This is Miss Sixth of the Wen family, the most favored young lady of the Wen family - Nuan Nuan.
Wen Yao opened her eyes again, and there was a coldness in her eyes. She was sure that she was reborn, could see the true face of Wen Yao, and would never be so miserable by her again.
"Sister, are you really feeling uncomfortable?"
Wen Nuan had already lifted the curtain and was dragging Wen Yao to pull her up, but Wen Yao threw her away.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Wen Nuan had never seen such a cold look in her eldest sister's eyes, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Zhiqi said that I'm not feeling well and need to rest. Are you deaf? Respecting others is the most basic education. Is all the grandma who paid you a lot of money for nothing in vain?"
"Sister, I care about you."
"Then the way you care about people is really annoying. You were sleeping well, but I woke you up and dragged you out of bed. I should care about you the same way tomorrow."
Warm tears rolled down her face, and she stamped her feet and said angrily: "Sister, you are so mean to me, hum, I will ignore you."
She covered her face and ran out, Wen Yao stood up, her ears finally calmed down.
I used to think she was cute when I saw her acting coquettishly, but now that she's sober, I just think it's artificial.
"Miss, Miss, go and file a complaint. The eldest lady is going to sue you again."
"Talk about it, anyway. Besides talking about me, what else will she do?"
In this family, she was the one being ignored. She did the most, but no one really liked her.
The mother was focused on preventing her father from raising a concubine, taking in concubines, and catching the mistress, but she still couldn't stop the concubine from entering. She spent the whole day fighting and jealous with the concubine, leaving her younger brothers and sisters to take care of her.
Only remember to love and care for Wen Yao, her little daughter, they are the real mother and daughter, Wen Yao is just like picked up.
After rinsing her mouth and having breakfast, Wen Yao thought about breaking off the engagement. It was impossible to get married. She would not jump into the fiery pit of Linhuai County Prince's Mansion. Moreover, the harm Yuan Zixuan had done to her would be repaid tenfold.
he.
"Miss, the fifth young master refuses to eat, please come over."
After Wen Yao changed her clothes for going out, she first came to the centenary residence of the fifth young master. When she entered the door, she saw clumps of purple bamboo, which was particularly elegant and noble. The rockery and green pine trees were very suitable for self-cultivation.
All these were arranged by Wen Yao herself, all for the fifth brother to take good care of his health. Unfortunately, she got married, and the fifth brother pushed them all away and planted his favorite azaleas.
Wen Yao smiled bitterly, she was wrong, she thought she was doing him a favor, but in fact it was just wishful thinking and annoying. The fifth brother probably didn't know that the pollen from azaleas would make his asthma worse, adding insult to injury to his weak body, making it difficult to live long.
Even the 100-year-old residence where she sent her blessings has been replaced by a free residence. Her love is only a restraint and disgust for the fifth brother!
