Chapter 609 The Xing Family Has a Daughter
Just after 21:30, when the show was about to end, more than a dozen lanterns came out from the front hall, passed through the second door, and scattered in all directions.
Among them, of course, the mother and daughter of the Xing family are indispensable.
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it."
When she first came along, Xing's mother was extremely reluctant, but as she watched the twists and turns of the murder case unfold and the truth was unravelled, she became more immersed in it than her daughter.
However, Xing's mother had a lot to say, but because there were so many people around, she couldn't say much due to her status.
Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that the person who committed this murder would be a little girl!"
After a pause, she asked again in confusion, "But I still can't figure it out. No matter how you look at it, this is Shuxuan's own fault, right? How could she have the nerve to kill her own mistress in the name of revenge?"
Xing Xiuyan lowered the lantern in her hand, reflecting the four embroidered shoes rising and falling under her skirt, and shook her head slightly: "It's just self-deception. She can't get over this hurdle in her heart, and she doesn't have the courage to stand up and bear the consequences, so she deliberately puts the blame on others and tries to escape the torture of conscience - but the sins she has committed can't be washed away by taking her anger out on others."
After hearing this, Xing's mother sighed again.
After walking a dozen steps further, she suddenly said, "If you become a mistress in the future, you must be more careful and never bring such a disaster around you, otherwise..."
"mother!"
Xing Xiuyan interrupted her helplessly: "Why are you talking about this again?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you, but about Mr. Sun, okay? Do you think he is a good match for Miss Miaoyu?"
"This Lord Sun..."
Hearing her mother talking about Sun Shaozong, Xing Xiuyan frowned slightly: "In terms of ability, he can be said to be both civil and military; although his appearance is a little worse, his heroic spirit can make up for it, but..."
"Just what?"
"But Sister Miaoyu is such a pure person. If she really follows Lord Sun, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing."
After saying this, seeing that her mother was obviously confused, Xing Xiuyan explained, "This Lord Sun has achieved success at a young age, and he doesn't even bother to treat Wang Yanei with courtesy, so how can he lower himself to accommodate others? Sister Miaoyu is a very upright person, and she will never give in to something she has decided on. If these two people collide with each other..."
She didn't finish the rest of the story, but just shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Most people in the world have some awe for monks and Taoists, but if they encounter a nun who has returned to secular life, this awe will turn into contempt in a matter of minutes.
Therefore, the options available to nuns who return to secular life are basically the same as those for famous prostitutes who become good women - either marry into a small family or become a concubine of a wealthy family.
Even someone like Miaoyu who was a spiritual practitioner could not escape such a fate - after all, her father was just a minor official, and his power was far from enough to change the prejudice of the world.
But Miaoyu is actually ignorant of the sufferings of the world. How could she bear it if she were asked to struggle for food and daily necessities all day long?
Therefore, Xing Xiuyan thought that Miaoyu did not need to seek a formal marriage, and the best way out for her was to find a son of an official who shared her feelings and could spend her life with him.
only……
These people who are in love with each other may not necessarily be a good match!
As they were talking, the mother and daughter returned to the guest room where they were staying temporarily.
As soon as she entered the door, Xing's mother didn't care about anything else. She carefully checked the silver and money she had pawned, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that not a single cent was missing.
Seeing that it was getting late and she didn't know when her husband would be back, Xing's mother prepared to send her daughter away and go to the next room to rest first.
Xing Xiuyan took out a collection of poems and said with a smile, "It's so hard to get this inexpensive candle. If I don't read by candlelight at night, I won't be able to sleep well. It's better for mother to go to bed early, and I will wait for father."
How could Xing's mother not know that she was being considerate of her?
She felt warm in her heart, but she was still worried about her husband, so she found some easy needlework and did some work on it.
Just like that, around midnight, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard in the yard.
The mother and daughter hurriedly abandoned their books and needlework and hurried to the door, but they only saw two little maids struggling to support the drunk Xing Zhong, who was staggering back and forth in the yard.
Seeing Xing Xiuyan and her daughter coming out to greet them, the two maids were as if they had been pardoned, and they hurriedly begged, "Madam, Miss, please come and persuade him. The uncle said he wanted to catch some katydids, and he just refused to go into the house."
Seeing that Xing Zhong was drinking so much that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting, and he was acting like a crab, he didn't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he pushed his elbow straight into the little maid's chest.
The mother and daughter were both ashamed and angry. They hurried forward to replace the two maids and half-coaxed and half-dragged him into the house.
I thought he would calm down a little after he lay down on the bed.
Who would have thought that under the candlelight, Uncle Xing perked up, rolling his eyes and yelling, "I...I'm telling you, that Sun Jia's Erlang is awesome! Not at all like...not at all like Wang Ren, who wouldn't even call me uncle...uncle, and looked at me...beaten me!"
At this time, the two little maids were still waiting by the side, so when Xing's mother heard this, she was embarrassed and at a loss.
Upon seeing this, Xing Xiuyan hurriedly took out two strings of copper coins from where her mother kept the money and stuffed them into the two maids' pockets. She repeatedly apologized for her father and asked them to bear with her.
The two maids got benefits for nothing, and they thought that the other party was a relative of the Wang family after all, and if the word got out, they might not get anything good, so they just went with the flow and agreed.
After sending the two maids away with many thanks, Xing Xiuyan returned to the room and saw her father still complaining. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I didn't remind you for a while, and Dad got drunk like this. What if what he said just now gets to Wang Yanei's ears?..."
"So what if he hears it?!"
Xing Zhong straightened up and said angrily , "We are not his slaves. If...if that Wang dares to show his disdain, the worst that can happen is that we can go to Beijing with the Sun family...the second son of the Sun family!"
Xing Xiuyun was at a loss for words. Wang Ren came to Jiangling to greet Sun Shaozong and it was obvious that he was going to go to Beijing with him. Even if Sun Shaozong agreed to take the Xing family on the journey, how could he avoid Wang Ren?
"vomit!"
At this moment, Xing Zhong suddenly opened his mouth wide and all the food and wine in his stomach poured out like a fountain.
Seeing this, Xing Xiuyan hurried outside to fetch some water and prepared to help her father wash and clean.
Who knew that when he stepped into the door with one foot in and out of it, he suddenly heard Xing Zhong yelling, "How could it be?! A concubine can become the eldest grandmother of the Sun family. My daughter is such a talented person, could it be... could it be that she is not as good as a bastard... a bastard's bitch?!"
Does this mean...
Xing Xiuyan was suddenly flustered and kicked the door sill. She staggered a few steps involuntarily and spilled the whole basin of warm water on herself.
