Refusing to marry a wealthy family: the young mistress fled 99 times

But in my heart, I wanted to know more about Ximen Longting.

He wants to know good, bad, everything.

##############################

The carriage was rolling on the ground, and the houses on both sides became simpler and simpler.

Jing Jiaren discovered that the closer the house is to the center, the more luxurious it is, and the servants dress more expensively.

Presumably this house is also divided according to the rank of servants.

The carriage stopped at an ordinary two-story building. The building was in French country style. The courtyard was full of flowers, fenced paths, and there was an ancient well beside the courtyard.

Jing Jiaren saw the ancient well at a glance, because there was a strange monument standing in front of it.

Ximen Longting stood under the carriage to pick her up.

Jing Jiaren asked strangely: "Bring me here? Do you have a trustworthy servant living here?"

Ximen Longting paused slightly, and led her to the ancient well.

"Could it be that you lived here before?"

Jing Jiaren frowned and asked in disbelief.

"my mother."

"...Where does Miss Fanny live?"

"Ah."

This is where the lowest-ranked servants live. Fanny lives here, doesn't it mean that her status is lower than that of servants?

After she married Master Ximen, even if she gave birth to Ximen Longting, she still lived the life of the most inferior person!

"This well," Ximen Longting smiled faintly, "She often fetches water and washes clothes here."

"..."

"Use the water here to cook, water the flowers, and wash the floors."

Ximen Longting's hand rested on the wooden frame above the ancient well.The wooden shelf has age and mottled marks.

The well has been sealed.

Jing Jiaren's eyes fell on that tablet... She couldn't read French, but Arabic numerals are common all over the world.

She saw what looked like a year number - XXXX. XX. XX

It should be Miss Fanny's birthday and the day of her death.

Jing Jiaren grabbed his arm: "Ximen Longting, could it be...this is your mother's graveyard?"

"What do you think?" Ximen Longting raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became weird.

Jing Jiaren's back was hairy: "Didn't you say she was poisoned to death? How could she be thrown into the well?!"

"After her death, if it wasn't for the secrets in the will, the whole body probably wouldn't even exist!" A vein appeared on the back of Ximen Longting's hand, "I should be grateful to Dade for her being placed in this well!?"

In other words, after Miss Fanny was poisoned to death, she didn't even have a cemetery, so she was directly thrown into the well for disposal?

No wonder the hut seemed to be deserted, the flowers and plants grew wildly, the branches were luxuriant, and it was so messy that it lost its shape.

There should be no servants living here anymore...

Jing Jiaren looked at the two-story wooden house. A woman who loves so sadly, why does she still insist on not letting go?

I have been enduring hardships, and in the end I even lost my life.

Jing Jiaren picked a bundle of wild flowers nearby, took off her hair tie and wrapped the branches into a bunch: "Ximen Longting, since you are here to see my mother, you should tell me earlier."

"Tell you how?"

"I'm at least a little bit prepared."

"What are you going to prepare?"

"It wouldn't be so empty-handed...without even the most basic manners. This is the first time I see my mother-in-law."

"She won't like you! You don't need to do these things to please her, and you don't have to!"
