The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 281

Xuemei was speechless for a while, compared to her dislike of Xiao Niqian as a liar just now, she is more distressed about what happened to him now.

Xu was wrong, she said: "You have hands and feet, why do you have to be a liar."

Little Niqiu glanced at Xuemei, and he didn't know how to explain to Xuemei that no one would want him for a wanderer with no background like him.

Even the porter at the Water Transport Wharf had to come from an innocent background. He had no household registration, no family background, and he didn't even have a decent name.

Seeing that Little Niqiu didn't speak, Xuemei bit the corner of her lips, she was also silent, then she seemed to think of something, and asked, "You...you became a beggar because you separated from your family?"

She heard from the little loach that he was picked up by an old beggar when he was six years old. What did the little loach do in the first place?So small, could it be a lost child?

Little Loach shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have been in Wangjia Village since I can remember. There was an old lady who raised me. People in the village said that I was picked up from outside. The old lady died when I was six years old. He was kicked out by the villagers."

He remembered that people in the village had always excluded outsiders, saying that he was a wild child outside, and no one wanted him after the death of the old woman, and he was picked up by an old beggar a few months after he was driven out.

Xuemei was a little surprised, her lips parted slightly. Little Nixiu had no parents since she was a child, so it seems that she must not even have a household registration.

Even if a person without household registration can work, no one wants him.

She immediately regretted what she said just now, pursed her lips and said "I'm sorry" after hesitation.

Little Loach smiled at her, a little forcedly, and continued: "I shouldn't lie to you, I... I'm just a wild child that no one wants."

"You..." Xuemei hesitated to speak, she wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't say anything.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "So what if no one wants it? Why do you want someone else?"

These words were not consoling, but made Little Loach feel a little warm in his heart.

Then Xuemei poked her chin with her hand, looked at the thin flame of the oil lamp, and thought of many things through the flame.

She said: "No one wanted me when I was a child. When I woke up at night, I heard my mother and my father talk about picking me up. That's when I knew I was picked up."

"Later... my father was run over to death by your son's horse outside, and my mother also died of illness." Speaking of this, Xuemei's nose sore, tears welling in her eyes.

Wiping away the tears with his hands and brushing the broken hair behind his ears, Little Niqian lowered his head and secretly looked up at Xuemei. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

He thought Xuemei lived a noble life even if she was a maid, and everyone said that a maid from a rich family had a better life than a daughter of a small county magistrate.

But he suddenly felt that Xuemei was quite pitiful. Even if she had no worries about food and clothing, he knew the pain of losing a loved one.

He was very sad when the old beggar died.

Then Xuemei restrained her sadness, looked at Little Niqian, and said: "Even if I am not my mother's biological child, I also know that my mother is sincere to me, don't the old women and old beggars you mentioned also treat you sincerely? You are not a wild child that no one wants."

Xuemei sniffed, a little annoyed, she originally wanted to comfort Little Niqiu, but why did she feel sad first.

A few days ago, she lost the things that A Niang gave her. She hid in the bed and cried secretly for several nights, but she didn't dare to cry aloud. After all, Qingtao was still sleeping on the bed next to her.
