Chapter 271 Don't Cry
After returning to Fuyunyuan, Mrs. Yuan continued to arrange the outfits for herself, her daughter and her husband to wear tomorrow.
It was her first time entering the palace, and she was extremely nervous.
Xicijian and Shaojian were full of clothes. After Xie Zhiwei and Xie Yuanbai came in and saw them, they couldn't help but look at each other and smiled helplessly.
"Mother, are you rummaging through so many clothes, are you planning for our family of three to live outside for a year? My daughter has Aunt Qiu to take care of her. You just need to take care of you and your father."
"How can I do that? One more person to worry about, and less mistakes. One person, there are always unexpected times here and there. This is the first time I prepare these for you, and I am worried that something will be wrong."
Just as I was talking, Mrs. Qian came, first saluted Mrs. Yuan, thanked Mrs. Yuan, then praised Xie Zhiwei, took off a fine jade bracelet on his arm and gave it to Xie Zhiwei, "Miss, although Sisters of the Yifu, you don't care about these things with the third aunt. This is a little bit of kindness from the third aunt. Your third sister will follow you into the palace this time. You must take more responsibility. If she is ignorant, you should scold her. Scolding, you should be punished."
"Third Aunt said these things, and then she met. I don't have many sisters, there are only two or three in total. No matter which one of them is not good, I will feel sorry for them. I will not refuse Third Aunt's intention. The whole family is not good. Talking about the two families, the third sister follows me, and I will never let her have an accident."
"That's good, she was disobedient outside, did something wrong, said something wrong, she didn't listen to you, came back, you tell me, I will punish her."
Xie Zhiwei said a few words, and Bailing poked his head at the door, seeing that something was going on, Xie Zhiwei got up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Qian knew that Xie Yuanbai was in the Xici Room, and it was not easy to stay any longer, so she got up and left too. When she reached the gate of Fuyun Courtyard, she said some kind words with gratitude, and then hurried back.
Xie Zhiwei walked towards Yizhaoyuan, and asked Bai Ling, "Sneaky, what's going on? Could it be that you did something, your sister Zimo wants to punish you, you come to beg me?"
"How can it be? The girl can't trust the slaves so much?" Bai Ling said seriously, "Girl, the servants went to the Magnolia Court just now, and happened to see the fourth girl hiding behind and crying alone. The girl has been brought back, the fourth girl is in our yard right now."
"En." Xie Zhiwei responded, and walked quickly towards Yizhaoyuan.
Zi Mo had someone bring hot water to help Xie Zhiying cleanse her face again, put her makeup on, and apply a hot egg to her eyes.
Hearing the maid outside saluting and saying "The eldest girl is back", Xie Zhiying hurriedly stood up to welcome her out. Xie Zhiwei had already entered, and when she saw Xie Zhiying calling "Fourth Sister", Xie Zhiying burst into tears again.
"What's the matter? Who bullied you? It's worth it?" Xie Zhiwei took a step forward, hugged the fourth sister in his arms, and patted her, "Don't cry, what's the matter, tell the big sister, it's worth crying like this ?”
"Big sister!" Xie Zhiying sobbed, Xie Zhiwei had no choice but to hold her hand, and went to the Xici room, "Come on, let's talk inside, it's warmer inside."
The two of them sat down on the big bed inside, Xie Zhiwei motioned for everyone to go out, and then heard Xie Zhiying say, "Big sister, why don't you take back the two hectares of farm you gave us!"
"No!" Xie Zhiying shook her head hastily, "Auntie said that they are all good farms. It is the kindness of the big sister who gave us these lands, but if they can't keep them and someone else gets them, it's better to return them to the big sister. Don't waste them. Big sister's things."
As she spoke, Xie Zhiying's heart was bleeding.
Her aunt was originally just a maid beside the old lady. When she served as a concubine for her father, the old lady only rewarded her with twenty taels of silver. My father has always been upright, these years, although he has been very kind to his aunt, he is afraid of getting a reputation of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, so he seldom subsidizes his aunt.
My wife is mean, although she dare not take anything away from her and her elder brother, she has never been soft-hearted towards her aunt. Originally, with these two hectares of land, my aunt's life would be easier, but unexpectedly, my wife wanted my aunt's life.
Xie Zhiwei also knows about the second bedroom, and she was out of her control. But if she is involved in this matter, she will naturally take care of it.
Sisters from the same family, not to mention that Xie Zhiwei doesn’t have the same clothes and jewelry throughout the year, and Xie Zhiying’s skirts and coats are all short, but Xie Zhiying, Xie Zhiqian, and Xie Zhihui should not be so shabby.
This is also the reason why Xie Zhiwei wanted to divide up those lands and shops in the first place. The Feng family took them, and she didn't want them at all.
"Fourth sister, no matter what happens to us, the first thing we think of is to solve it, not to escape. Do you think that if you return the farm to me, this matter will be settled?"
Hearing Xie Zhiwei's words, Xie Zhiying raised her head, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"I know, you don't want to go to your grandfather and second uncle to sue, you just want to calm down, but you have to know, if you want to calm down, others don't." Xie Zhiwei thought of the tragedy of the fourth sister in her previous life, and was promised by her second aunt. Juzi, who was tortured to death by her mother-in-law and concubine at her husband's house.
"If you want to escape, there is actually a better way to escape than now. You can tell your aunt to serve the old lady and live in Qingzhuyuan. It is better to avoid the wife than to return the farm to me. At least the income from the farm, you need it, don't you?"
Xie Zhiying nodded sincerely, "Well, big sister, my aunt's monthly allowance is five taels, but it has never been fully paid."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. The farm is for you and your brother, not for your aunt. If you really don't know what to do, you bring the land deed and account books of the farm, and I will help you manage it first I mean, I can give it to you in the future. But, fourth sister, think about it, is there really no way? You are a child of the Xie family, and the eldest sister knows that you must have a way to solve this problem. "
Xie Zhiying's eyes lit up, "Big sister, I have to find a way to let my father know about this, my father will definitely help me and my brother."
Xie Zhi smiled and didn't answer, but patted her head, "You have to know, even if you are in a desperate situation, it is better to struggle before dying than not to struggle. At any time, it is useless to hide and cry secretly, even if you cry , and make every tear count.”
"Big Sister, I got it!" Xie Zhiying's nose was sore, and she wanted to cry again, but this time, it was not because she was helpless, but because she was moved.
Sitting on a chair, Mrs. Xiao took a sip of a cup of tea, looked at Xie Zhihui who was kneeling on the ground, resisted the urge to splash a cup of tea on her face, "Why did I raise you such a useless one? Huh? What a great opportunity, as long as you say you want to go, your elder sister will not let you go, but you actually gave up this opportunity to Sanfang, I think she will marry better than you in the future, your face Where to put it!"
The first update!
