Chapter 13 Sad Past ([-])

Xi Honglei kept holding back her temper, no matter how many unsavory things Xi Hongmiao said, she never opened her mouth to refute.At this time, seeing that she was pushing an inch, she actually wanted to use family law on herself.I was secretly angry.But thinking how powerful she is as a girl, she held back her breath and quietly endured Xi Hongmiao's powerful slaps on her body, until she was tired of beating and scolded enough, and left After that, he patted his clothes slowly, and calmly looked at Xi Hongmiao's back as he went away.

Ignoring the pointers and discussions from the servants around him, Xi Honglei returned to his residence without saying a word.

"Little miss! What's the matter with you?" Hua'er, who was waiting at the gate of the yard, saw Xi Honglei in distress, and hurriedly ran to Xi Honglei's side, and asked anxiously: " Didn't you go into the palace? Why are you in such a mess?"

"Where's my mother? Have you gone back?" Xi Honglei didn't answer Hua'er's words, but looked in the direction of the yard with flickering eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"I went back. Madam waited for a long time but didn't wait for you to come back, Miss. Later, she was called by the second lady, and she never came back."

"Second Madam?" Xi Honglei frowned and glanced at the painting, then quickly walked into the room, changed the dirty clothes on her body, washed off the stains on her face, and sat down in the chair with no expression on her face.

With her hands crossed around her chest, she shed red tears and did not make a sound for a long time, making Hua'er feel a little overwhelmed.

"Hua'er, come here." Xi Honglei waved at Hua'er, motioning for Hua'er to sit beside her.After Hua'er sat down, Xi Honglei smiled slightly, looked at Hua'er with some expectation and said, "Tell me about the affairs in our mansion. I don't even know who is in our mansion. Go up The first time I met everyone in the dining hall, I left in a hurry. Now that I see people, I don’t even know who they are and what I should call them.”

Hua'er tilted her head to look at Xi Honglei, blinked her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Our Xifu is not big or small. There are four people in our family. Madame. Apart from the eldest madam, the second madam is in charge of the finances of the mansion. How much money we spend this month depends on what she says. Hong Miao is her child. The third madam is the mother of Xi Hongbo and Xi Jiabao. The Fourth Madam has a gentle temperament, I haven't seen the Fourth Madam a few times, but she hasn't taken the initiative to bully you and Madam here like everyone else."

Hua'er said something to Xi Honglei without thinking, and after noticing something wrong with her wording, Hua'er quickly closed her mouth, shrank her neck, and looked at Xi Honglei with a look of fear.

"It's okay, it's just the two of us here, there are no outsiders." Xi Honglei stroked Hua'er's head soothingly, and was quite concerned about what Hua'er said just now. "You mean, people used to come here often to trouble me and my mother?"

"Miss, don't you see this kind of thing?" Hua'er sighed heavily, looked at her cheeks swollen with red tears, and said faintly: "Our wife came from a humble background. She has been stepped on by the other three wives. A few years ago, I almost forced the master to divorce her. Fortunately, the emperor gave you a marriage, so your mother was not driven out..."

Hua'er paused for a moment, not daring to continue talking.But after seeing Xi Honglei smiled and shook her head, signaling that it's okay, Hua'er clenched her fists, and said to Xi Honglei in a vigorous voice: "Miss, you and Da Furen have been beaten by them all these years. You are weak and timid. You have to protect your young lady even after being beaten. The fourth lady has never intervened in these matters, but she has never stepped forward to stop them. Come and show us some embarrassment, as if they will feel uncomfortable if we are not driven out of the Xifu for a day."
