There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 691|The fifty-eighth dragon scale (four)
The fifty-eighth dragon scale (four)
The case was quickly publicized, and Xun Tao was officially brought back as a girl from the imperial government. Self-confidence, she has grown flesh on her body, her skin has become white, and Linglong personally took her by her side to teach the rules, almost the same every day, when the couple was exiled, she could no longer see the country. Little pathetic traces.
As for Xun Fang's murder, although it wasn't her own hands, it was a death penalty, and a living crime could not escape. Linglong specifically pleaded for her, and Jing Zhaoyin sentenced Xun Fang and her biological parents to exile for three years. Thousands of miles, according to the laws of the dynasty, exiled prisoners were to be tattooed, that is, to write words on their faces to express their guilt, and then smeared with special paints. Once the words were engraved, they could not be washed for life. Xun Fang cried and was unhappy, but who would care about her? After all, he was tortured and exiled with his biological parents.
The couple hated and poisoned this daughter, and they felt that they sent her to a family like the Guogongfu to raise her, the Guogongfu! They have never seen such a noble family in their lives! Not to mention that Xun Fang should give them anything in return, at least not to kill their son, right? How to say that is also Xun Fang's biological brother, she can kill even her own brother, let alone the so-called parents?
So along the way, the three men in shackles fought each other wildly. The couple beat Xun Fang, but Xun Fang wanted to resist, but unfortunately the couple was working in the ground all day long. Not small, she is a daughter of a boudoir, but she has a deeper scheming. If she really wants to fight, she can't beat her at all. No, just halfway through the road of exile, she couldn't bear it because she was so delicate and frail, she died on the road. .
And the husband and wife were also beaten by the officer who was escorting him. Even the prisoner who was exiled would be punished!
No matter what they think about the newly arrived three girls, at least they welcome them on the face. Xun Zheng and Gao's two sons also heard about the younger sister's exchange, and when they met Xun Tao, although they were not close enough, they were willing to take on the responsibility of the elder brother, but the younger sister was too old to be close. The two often bought some quirky gadgets for her outside, and they got along very well between brothers and sisters.
Xun Lan was secretly shocked, because nothing like this happened in her previous life, and she didn't even know that Sister Fang was not the bloodline of their country!
No wonder... Xun Lan suddenly realized, no wonder Sister Fang was so relentless in harassing the Duke's Mansion, because she had long known that she was not a member of the Xun family, so she naturally had no feelings for the Xun family! But the second uncle and the second aunt have raised her as a pearl in the palm of their hand for fifteen years. What kind of ruthless heart must she have to kill her adoptive parents and brothers without blinking an eye? !
Then again, what did not happen in the previous life, why does it happen in this life? Could it be that... because of his rebirth, many things have changed? There was no such thing as grandmother going to Baiyun Temple before. If this is the case, is the future still accurate? Can someone who once ascended the throne still be an emperor in this life?
Xun Lan is lost in confusion.
Xun Rong only thought that she had eaten a big mouthful of melon. Xun Fang always relied on herself as a direct daughter. When she saw Xun Rong, her eyes were higher than the top. Xun Rong did not like her, but she never thought that Xun Fang would actually It's not the son of the second house, and looking at Xun Tao, who was brought back by the second house, she is very similar to the second aunt, and has the charm of a grandmother between her brows. Speaking of which, the three sisters all look alike, they all have oval faces and almond eyes. To say, the third brother Chen looks the most like his grandmother, but unfortunately he is a boy.
The third wife, Mrs. Zhang, felt that the old lady was doing this without thinking about the consequences. In front of the whole family, she was also confused and said directly: "Mother, no matter what, Sister Fang If my son committed a case, he deserves to be punished, but your troubles in the Jingzhao Mansion have caused the whole city to suffer. These days, when your daughter-in-law is out, everyone is inquiring about the matter of our government. Why didn't you deal with it privately at that time? , this sister Fang has done such a wrong thing, and it makes people think that the girls in our country's government have a bad temper..."
Linglong gave her a cold look: "Why, do you have an opinion?"
Mr. Zhang was taken aback by this look. She was most afraid of this mother-in-law, so she closed her mouth immediately, but she was still muttering in her heart, did she say something wrong? Originally, it would be fine to deal with it in private, but this time there is such a big commotion, everyone is spreading the jokes of their prince's mansion, and if the second-bedroom sister Fang is like that, how can the other girls in the prince's mansion be any better?
"That's not what my daughter-in-law meant..."
"Then what do you mean?" Linglong sneered, "I don't think you are very good at teaching your daughter."
Zhang Shi had always had a ghost in her heart, but her heartbeat became more and more violent under Linglong's seemingly non-existent rebuke, and she said: "My daughter-in-law has only one son from Brother Chen, how can she have experience in teaching her daughter..."
Xun Chen bowed his head and said nothing, clutching his robe tightly.
He has a difference in age compared to other brothers, so he is slightly smaller and not conspicuous, but the classmates in the academy are all of the same age, so he looks particularly short and small, and he is shy and introverted. He was always bullied in the academy, but when he came back, he told Mrs. Zhang that Mrs. Zhang asked him to find his own reasons and ask him to reflect on his own. Over time, Xun Chen became more and more reluctant to talk, and he became more and more ostracized in the academy. Seriously, his reading is average, and the husband will not take the initiative to care.
Linglong feels that if she tells this child to continue living like this, she will not be far away from deep depression and suicide.
Of the four daughters-in-law, she really annoys Mrs. Zhang the most. She has to be strong and has no ability to pinch the tip. She knows that staring at others every day, everything is the fault of others, and she is innocent. Then he said again: "What about you? Just like the third family, I think I've made a big deal this time, I've lost your face, and you can't see anyone? If you have such thoughts, tell me! If you can pass this day, you can pass it, and if you can't pass it, you will separate the family, so it won't be in your eyes, and you won't lose face!"
This is serious! The mother is still here, there is no reason for the brothers to split the family, and if the family is separated, the big room inherits the title and can still live in the palace, and the other rooms will be moved out! It doesn't matter what the sisters-in-law think, they compare with each other, but it's good for the masters to have a small relationship, and they are all very filial. If they were told that they were the cause of the separation, I'm afraid they would be divorced!
Ms. Zhang hurriedly knelt down. Today, she angered her mother-in-law. "My daughter-in-law speaks nothing. I beg my mother's forgiveness. My daughter-in-law doesn't mean that..."
Linglong looked at her lightly, and then said to everyone: "Our Xun family, we are upright and upright, not afraid of other people's jokes, we have mixed blood and raised a daughter for others for more than ten years, and raised a cold-blooded and ruthless white-eyed wolf, It's a mistake, can you deny it if it's wrong? Sister Tao is a serious girl from the government's mansion. According to the old third family, is she going to be twin sisters with Sister Fang, or Li Dai Tao Zong? Are you a smart person who can't see it? It's better to be generous than to hide it, the emperor didn't blame it, but you all started muttering in your heart!"
After he finished speaking, he sneered: "Your father was a poor boy who picked up dung back then, and the world that followed the Tai | Ancestor | Emperor immediately called, did you also embarrass you?!"
This time, even Xun Zheng and others knelt down, and they were scolded by Linglong, and their foreheads were drenched in cold sweat, not to mention that their father was a dung picker back then, even the Emperor Tai|zu also had to eat...
"We Xun family girls, don't be afraid of outsiders saying that I have straightened my spine! Wrong is wrong, right is right, Mrs. Zhang, you are a mother, but you can tell right from wrong, how can you teach your children Brother Chen is thirteen, and he still lives in your yard. I think he is a loving mother! From tomorrow, Brother Chen will move to my yard, and I will watch it myself! Third, you have No comments?"
How could Xun Yuan have an opinion! The mother has great knowledge. If Brother Chen can be taught by his mother, it will definitely be a good thing. He immediately said: "Everything is up to the mother, and the son has no objection."
Zhang's face turned pale, only she and her close mama knew that Brother Chen was a girl, and that was why she kept Brother Chen by her side all the time, a thirteen-year-old girl, I just came to Guishui last year. Although I was not on time when I was young, I could cover it up in her yard. If I moved to my mother-in-law's yard... "Mother! My mother and daughter-in-law know it's wrong. Brother Chen is the daughter-in-law's life. If you Take Brother Chen away, and let your daughter-in-law live!"
As he spoke, he wiped away tears, as if Linglong was a demon who had torn apart their mother and son.
Xun Yuan's face darkened: "Ms. Zhang, what are you doing? Mother is willing to raise Brother Chen, it's an honor for Brother Chen!"
The Zhang family desperately refused to agree.
Linglong knew what she was afraid of, so she asked, "Aren't you happy? Could it be that I, being a grandmother, would harm Brother Chen? Who do you take me for? My thirteen-year-old brother is still young, then In the future, when Brother Chen gets married and has children, do you want to lie on the same bed with their husband and wife?"
These words were so heart-warming and rude that Mr. Zhang's face was red and his ears were stunned.
Xun Chen also turned pale!
He forgot that he could pretend to be a brother for a while, but he couldn't be a brother of a generation! Is it possible that he will marry a wife in the future? Well, didn't that hurt other girls? !
But he knew his mother. In order to cover up his daughter, Zhang would inevitably force him to marry a wife. As long as he thought of this, Xun Chen was desperate. Like his father, he is very filial, so he is at the mercy of his mother, but does he really have to lose his life?
The matter between Sister Fang and Sister Tao, let outsiders see it, it must be a high-level scandal, but my grandmother is frank and unconcerned, showing that my grandmother is broad-minded. The truth... no, no, grandma won't embarrass herself, but mother will definitely offend grandma by doing so, he can't say.
"I just felt that Sister Tao lost someone from your country's government. You kept your thirteen-year-old brother by your side and kept him from going out, so that it wouldn't be ashamed to let outsiders know? Is it possible that others will praise it? You have such a motherly heart? Why did I tell the third child that you are such a shallow-eyed daughter-in-law!"
Linglong scolded mercilessly, and she told Mrs. Zhang to tears. She never thought that she just complained a few words, and the fire burned herself, and now she finally didn't dare to say a word.
Linglong made a fuss, and then drove everyone away, which was more comfortable.
Mother Zeng beat her shoulders and said distressedly: "The old lady is so old, she deserves to enjoy her life, but she still has to worry about her children and grandchildren."
"Children and grandchildren are all debts." Linglong sighed in an old-fashioned manner, "But the third family, the more they live, the more they go back. Brother Chen is so old that he can still be raised as a nurse."
Xun Yuan held back his anger and didn't say anything in front of his mother. After returning, he quarreled with Mrs. Zhang and slammed the door, leaving Mrs. Zhang sitting on the spot and wiping tears. When Xun Chen came, she grabbed Xun Chen. With his hands, he nervously instructed him: "Brother Chen, you have to be good! You must be good! You can't embarrass your mother, you are the only mother left, you must be successful, you must be successful, and your father can tolerate it. We have to take care of our daughters!"
Xun Chen was caught in pain, and her face was blank. Could it be that because she was a sister, her father didn't care? Is dad that kind of person?
But when the mother emphasized this, he could only nod his head: "The child knows."
"When you move to your grandmother's place, you have to please her, you know that? You are a stupid child, talk to your grandmother more, and she will love you! With your grandmother protecting me, I will Look at how those two **** are so proud of me!" Mr. Zhang kept on talking, but he didn't even notice that his delicately trimmed fingernails had sunk into Xun Chen's flesh.
"Mother, I want to tell you that the classmate named Li in the academy tore up my book..."
"Why are you arguing with others again!" Zhang Shi immediately got angry, withdrew his hand, and stabbed Xun Chen in the forehead, "How many times has my mother told you that the most important thing for you is to study! Study! You If you don't read well, no one looks down on you! You didn't do well in the last exam, and your grandmother doesn't know how to look down on us! Don't always say that others are not good, why don't you find your own reasons? Why doesn't he tear other people's Shu, I'm tearing you apart?! Did you not learn knowledge from your husband again? Did you have fun again?! Do you want your mother to die? Do you want to **** off your mother and let those two **** die? Someone to be your mother?!"
She kept accusing her, and Xun Chen didn't want to make her angry, so she bowed her head silently.
After being scolded by Mrs. Zhang like this for more than half an hour, someone from the old lady came and said to help him organize things. , whispered softly: "Mother is the only one left, you will be my mother's support in the future, you must live up to your expectations, do you know? You can't embarrass your mother."
Xun Chen nodded before Zhang Shi let him go.
Turning around, Xun Chen's face was full of pain. When his mother grabbed his hand just now, she just pinched the place where he was pinched and bleeding by her nails, but she didn't notice it at all.
The people in my grandmother's yard are very efficient. Mother Zeng was afraid of Xun Chen's restraint, so she took the initiative to greet him. She told him a lot of good things about Linglong along the way. Not many, plus a lot of grandchildren, it is impossible for Linglong to pull over and touch the dog's head one by one, so the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is relatively alienated, but the old lady naturally loves Xun Chen, the reason why she can't stand Zhang It's also because the Zhang family is too strong and doesn't care enough about Xun Chen.
Xun Chen was full of nervousness. Now he and Sister Tao lived in his grandmother's yard. The grandmother's yard was the largest in the palace. He was a little scared, but he was more worried that his daughter would be found out. Therefore, he was very cautious in his words and deeds. Seeing his pale face, Mama Zeng sighed in her heart. These three ladies are really sinful. How could such a good brother develop such a timid and submissive temperament.
Unexpectedly, Xun Chen's grandmother built a small courtyard for him. There is a small fountain in the center of the courtyard, and flowers and plants are planted around. Although the weather is cold, there are red plum blossoms in full bloom. Just a glance makes people feel alive. abundant.
After entering the room, Xun Chen was stunned again.
When he was by his mother's side, there was nothing of his daughter's house in the room, and he was afraid that people would even notice. Mrs. Zhang deliberately kept his room indifferent, but the room that his grandmother prepared for him was warm-colored with paving on the floor. A thick goose-yellow blanket was put on, the bed was made very soft, and there was even a row of cute little clay figurines on the table!
Xun Chen held back the sore eyes and was about to thank her grandmother, and Aunt Zeng led him there.
As soon as he passed the corridor, before entering, he heard laughter inside. Xun Chen heard the voices of grandmother and sister Tao. Mother Zeng opened the curtain, so he calmed down and went in to bow first. : "My grandson has seen my grandmother, may my grandmother be happy and healthy."
Linglong waved at him: "Brother Chen, come here."
He walked over obediently, not knowing whether he should sit or stand, so he seemed at a loss, Linglong held his sleeve, she sat on the hard couch, there were steps in front of the couch, Xun Chen sat down just right on Linglong's knee superior.
She slowly touched his head, Xun Chen only felt that the hands were very gentle, and she was about to burst into tears, so she held it back.
"Since you're here, stay at ease and tell your grandmother anything you want."
Xun Chen hummed hard.
Linglong let people pass the meal, so at noon, she brought Xun Chen and Sister Tao to eat together. Because there were many people in the house, it was very noisy to eat together, and the time was long, so Linglong let each room eat by themselves. Xun Chen likes to eat sweets, but Mrs. Zhang forbids him to eat them, for fear that because of eating sweets, he will gain weight, and his body will develop so well that he will not be able to cover his curves.
Xun Chen himself also remembered his mother's advice. He clearly longed for the plate of red dates and glutinous rice cakes, but he didn't stretch out his chopsticks.
As a result, a piece of cake landed on the plate in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, he saw Sister Tao who smiled shyly and friendly at him.
——In this world, it seems that except for his mother, everyone who cares about him can perceive what he wants.
"Thank you, third sister."
Sister Tao blushed and lowered her head. She mustered up the courage to serve Brother Chen!
Xun Chen ate very little and slowly, but for some reason, he saw that his grandmother was very satisfied and very happy, and his appetite did not increase. By the time I have eaten today, it is enough for an ordinary whole day!
He wanted to put the chopsticks down, but a cup of sweet white fungus and lotus seed soup came up. Xun Chen couldn't hold back and drank another small bowl. This time, he really couldn't eat any more...
While the maid was waiting for him to rinse his mouth, he went to get a handkerchief and wanted to wipe his face, but he heard his grandmother ask in a deep voice, "What's wrong with Brother Chen's hand?"
Xun Chen was startled, dropped the veil and hid his hands in his sleeves. After hearing this, Mother Zeng and Sister Tao looked at his hands.
The meal was served by servants just now, and Xun Chen also took great care to cover it up. Linglong was so engrossed in eating that he didn't pay attention. It wasn't until Xun Chen wiped his face with a handkerchief that she saw the little wounds on it, some of which were already Dried up, some oozing fresh blood.
"Grandma, I, I..."
"Come here."
My grandmother was not angry but arrogant, but Xun Chen didn't dare to refuse. He walked slowly to Linglong, but Linglong lifted his sleeves. Sister Tao and Mother Zeng covered their mouths in shock!
Xun Chen was born short, and his hands were even more thin and white, which made the wound even more shocking!
"Your mother did it?"
Xun Chen hurriedly said, "Mother, she didn't mean to—"
As he spoke, he bared his teeth and grinned in pain, because Linglong pinched his wound, causing tears in Xun Chen's eyes!
Mother Zeng went to get the ointment early, and Linglong asked Xun Chen to spread out her hand and smeared the cool ointment on him. Influence, but don't forget, you still have a father and a grandmother, do you think it's good for your mother if you hide it like this?"
Xun Chen blinked the tears from his eyes. He also knew that this would not work, but he couldn't ignore his mother. The mother's obsession is that she failed to give birth to a son for her father in her life, and that she, the child she had been looking forward to so much, was a girl again, which he owed her mother.
Seeing that Xun Chen didn't want to say more, Linglong didn't force him, so he gave him medicine and let him go back to rest.
As a result, Xun Chen was in a daze for several days. Before he even noticed it, he was looking forward to going home from get out of class and seeing his loving grandmother every day. Sometimes when he saw his mother waiting at the gate of the mansion, he would even have an escape mentality, and then he would reprimand himself, which was so ruthless and embarrassing! That was his biological mother, how could he escape her?
However, every time I meet with Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang talks back and forth over and over again, nothing more than to let him live up to his expectations, let him be successful, and let him please his grandmother, so that the grandmother will love him and so on...
One time, Xun Chen couldn't help but say, "I'm not flattering, and my grandmother loves me too!"
Mr. Zhang's eyes widened: "How can you talk to your mother like this? What is your attitude? Your grandmother loves you, does your grandmother love you? The mother is the one who is really good for you! You No matter how much your grandmother loves you, she still has so many grandchildren. Can she hurt you? Who was the one who gave birth to you and raised you so hard? Could it be that I also raised a white-eyed wolf? Why don't you? Do you understand your mother's suffering?"
"My mother said these things, not all for your own good!"
Xun Chen wanted to refute, but seeing Zhang Shi's excited expression, he lowered his head silently again, and he was in a bad mood for a long time, until he saw Linglong, he forced a smile, for fear of being seen.
When will these days be over?
