The wife of the power minister's family

But in the box, she saw a familiar gold and jade bracelet lying quietly on the soft red brocade cloth. Isn't it the same bracelet she pawned when she first came here?
It was a bracelet that the original owner's mother had worn before her death. The original owner had always cherished it very much. Whenever she missed her mother, she would take it out and look at it for a long time.

Xu Jing originally thought that when she could earn more money, she would pawn the bracelet back.

Chunyang and Chunxiang were also very surprised when they saw the bracelet. Chunyang, who was more emotional, couldn't help but cover his mouth and his eyes were red.

Xu Jing waited for a while, then said as if in a dream: "How could you..."

"This bracelet should be very important to you."

Xiao Yi looked at Xu Jing's expression steadily and said: "You helped the court solve this serial murder case this time. You should be rewarded based on your merits. Helping you redeem this bracelet is just a trivial matter."

This case is of great significance to the court. If she were a man, her contribution in this case would be enough to be appreciated by the Holy Emperor and rise rapidly in the court.

Unfortunately, she is not a man, and she obviously does not want her involvement in solving the case to be known to too many people.

After all, Wu Zuo's status is too humble. Ordinary men can't bear the world's prejudice against this industry, let alone a woman.

Her great contribution and amazing talent in this case will never be known to the world.

Even so, even though this woman did not ask for any remuneration, Xiao Yi also wanted to do something for her to be worthy of the ten millionth of her shine in this case.

It took Xu Jing a while before she picked up the bracelet, looked at it under the light for a long time, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said, "I'm really grateful to Mr. Xiao."

She knew Xiao Yi's purpose of helping her redeem the bracelet, so she accepted it without any hesitation.

Moreover, smart people often don't need to speak too clearly. Xiao Yi was also saying that he found someone to check on her, so he knew that she had pawned the bracelet.

But after checking her, he still believed in her, at least he believed that she was harmless to him, so he sent the bracelet to her in such a straightforward manner.

Xu Jing unconsciously stroked the bracelet in her hand, her thoughts slowly drifting away.

A person cannot be bad from the beginning. No matter what the original owner has done, when she was a child, she was just a little girl living under the protection of her father and mother.

Among the big families in Da Chu, the Xu family is just a small and inconspicuous family. The family is located in Bianzhou, north of Da Chu.

The original owner's father was just one of the unappreciated concubines, but the original owner's wife, Xu, came from a well-established business family in Bianzhou. Initially, in order to get the financial support of the Xu family, the original owner's father resolutely asked to marry the Xu family's daughter. Girls.

Although the Xu family was in decline at that time, it was still considered a scholarly family, and it was considered a very good choice for the Xu family, which had been in business for generations. Therefore, when the original owner's father came to propose marriage, the original owner's grandfather did not hesitate to marry his daughter.

In the beginning, in order to please his father-in-law, the original owner's father was very kind to the original owner's wife. He even ignored a concubine in the family who had been serving him. He behaved like a model husband. The original owner's grandfather was very satisfied and was determined to train this son-in-law. , after the original owner’s father passed the imperial examination, he gave him a lot of financial support.

It can be said that the original owner's father was able to sit all the way to the position of Minister of Rites, and it was indispensable for the support of his wife's natal family.

However, as an underappreciated bastard, the original owner's father eventually surpassed many of the Xu family's carefully cultivated legitimate sons and rose through the ranks, eventually reaching the position of the Sixth Minister of Finance. It was a counterattack that would make others marvel when talking about it a hundred years later. .However, after his position in the court was stabilized, the original mistress's true character that had been hidden was revealed. He began to quietly alienate the original mistress, and even favored the concubine who had been neglected by him for several years. Intentionally or unintentionally, he alienated his relationship with his wife’s natal family.

At that time, their family had already settled in Xijing, and the Xu family was far away in Bianzhou. Even though they felt the changes in the original father, they were helpless.

The daughter and granddaughter of the Xu family are both in the Xu family. No matter how indifferent the original owner's father is to the original owner's wife, he still shows respect and love to the original owner. So let alone the Xu family can't find evidence to prove that the original owner's father dotes on his wife and destroys her. Concubine, Yushitai can't catch him.

In the memory of the original owner, her mother had been ill for a whole year before her death. In that year, except for routine visits every day, her father never said a word to her mother-in-law, let alone the tenderness between husband and wife. .

On weekdays, the original owner either sleeps in the study or in the concubine's room. His behavior seems very reasonable to outsiders - his wife is lingering on the sick bed and cannot serve him. As a husband, he usually sleeps in the study, which is very rare. Going to the concubine's room to relieve your desires is a sign of consideration and love for your wife.

Only those who have witnessed the relationship between the original father and the original mother will know what happened to these two couples.

It can be said that the original mistress died in depression. Because she was worried that telling her family the truth would make them worried, she did not say a word to her family. She only wrote a letter to her family before she passed away, asking them to Take good care of her only daughter.

Therefore, the Xu family did not know until the end that the relationship between the original mistress and the original father was so tense. The original father was already cold towards the Xu family. After the original mistress passed away, the connection between the two families was gradually severed.

The Xu family cared about the original owner very much and wrote to her every year. After learning that the original owner was sent to Zhuangzi, they became even more anxious and often asked people to send her some money and jewelry as subsidies. It can be said that more than half of the original owner's previous belongings were lost. They are all from the Xu family.

After the original owner was abandoned by Xiao Yi and kicked out of the Xu family, Chunyang and Chunxiang both persuaded her to join the Xu family.

However, the original owner at that time was too hateful. She always felt that her mother was killed by her father and the woman who is now her stepmother. Since she was six years old, she has been thinking about avenging her mother. Eventually, this idea gradually evolved into She had a terrible obsession, which not only bound her heart, but also her person.

In order to take revenge, she could drug Xiao Yi without shame, she could use her child as a tool for revenge, and when she found out that he was actually useless, she despised him in every possible way.

Therefore, even when she was at her most depressed, she was unwilling to leave Xijing. Finally, she died in Hutou Village, not far from Xijing.

Xu Jing actually doesn't like exploring the memory of the original owner at all. The original owner's memory is filled with strong resentment and unwillingness, like a dark creature crawling out from the depths of the earth. However, even such a person has a deep feeling in his heart. The soft one that cannot be touched by anyone - that is her mother.

Therefore, one can imagine the importance of this bracelet to the original owner. It was something she would rather die than give up.

Xu Jing was very grateful that Xiao Yi could redeem the bracelet.

That is more meaningful than any other reward Xiao Yi gave her.

Xiao Yi kept looking at the woman in front of him, and saw that the emotion between her eyebrows changed from surprise at the beginning to emotion, and then to the slightly sentimental remembrance now.

No matter which side it is, it is all so vivid and vivid, as if it is the most colorful stroke in a painting with long meaning.

At a certain moment, Xiao Yi actually had a ridiculous idea - he felt that he could keep watching like this, as if he would never get tired of watching it for a lifetime.

Before he could be surprised by this sudden thought, the woman in front of him suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes as bright as stars, she smiled slightly and said: "Shilang Xiao will return to Xijing soon. Before that, I don’t know if there will be another chance to meet Mr. Xiao, so I wish him good luck and good luck!”
