Beauty Sihuanian

Chapter 12

Mrs. Lin was imprisoned in the West Side Courtyard, the most northwest courtyard of Ji Residence.

Ji Wanyan was wrapped in an old thin blanket with a crimson color. The fur outside the blanket was very old. Although it was old, it was still quite soft to the touch. The outer layer was embroidered with a picture of Begonia sleeping in spring, not like a girl in a boudoir. The things they used seemed to be dowry. Ji Wanyan looked up and saw two mothers passing the garden with a food box. She quickly dodged and hid behind the rockery. The two mothers met Xu's mother and asked Xu what she was doing here. Mother Xu didn't dare to tell them that the fourth girl was in front, so she casually chatted with them. Ji Wanyan walked out of the rockery while they were talking, and rushed to the target along the path.

In fact, she had many questions in the previous life that were not answered, because Mrs. Lin died early, and she did not see her face before she died. She did not notice it when she was a teenager. Later, she went to the capital and was married twice. Only then did she learn some details of the past from an old servant, but at that time, Mrs. Lin had already died, and no one could confirm it for her, so it has always been an unsolved mystery in her heart.

Lin is her biological mother no matter what, even if she is crazy, she is still her mother.Regardless of whether she can answer for her or not, Ji Wanyan wants to meet her to make up for the regrets of the previous life.

Ji Wanyan is getting more and more remote, and now he is only following the impression of the time when the old lady asked her to bring her here when Lin died in the last life. It is different from the imagined scene where there are many women guarding her. It's the same, there's no one to be seen here, and there's no sound around, because there's no woman cleaning it, so the surrounding area is still mostly white, and there are a few abandoned houses, which look gloomy.

Mother Xu rushed over from behind, grabbed Ji Wanyan's hand, and said, "Girl, don't go any further, go back."

Ji Wanyan withdrew her hand and looked at Mother Xu stubbornly. After the two looked at each other for a while, Ji Wanyan said, "Take me there, so it's quicker."

If she waits for her to find it, she still doesn't know when she will find it. Mother Xu used to be Lin's dowry mother in charge. After Lin was imprisoned, she must have visited her, so Ji Wanyan is sure that she knows the place.

Madam Xu's skinny and big face showed a distressed expression on the plate, but she did not deny what Ji Wanyan said, it was indeed faster for her to take it there, the fourth girl just showed her face in front of the old lady today, she couldn't say Later, there will be a mother in charge to teach the girls how to behave. These are uncertain things. If they are neglected, it will also delay the fourth girl.

Now that the fourth girl wanted to see her biological mother, she would not give up easily. She breathed out a breath of cold air and rubbed her hands together. Then Mother Xu buried her head down the steps of the corridor, explored the way ahead, and turned around to hold Ji Wanyan's hand. said:

"Girl, follow in my footsteps."

Just pulling along the way, Mother Xu finally brought Ji Wanyan to a place that looked like a desolate garden. There was no one guarding it, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.Mother Xu pointed to a mottled wooden door with a rusty lock on the outside, which seemed to have not been opened for a long time.

"She... is in there? Don't you need to deliver food? This lock doesn't seem to be always open."

Mother Xu pointed to the small window on the door on the right, and said, "All meals are delivered from here, and there is no need to unlock it."

Looking at the small window, Ji Wanyan's eyes became wet unconsciously, and she hurriedly lowered her head. After all, she still couldn't muster the courage to open the small window. With red eyes, she asked hoarsely, "Is there someone serving inside? Isn't she crazy? Will you come and get something to eat yourself?"

Mother Xu felt uncomfortable after hearing this. After hesitating for a while, she stretched out her hand and opened the small window on the door. Ji Wanyan's heart almost stretched to her throat. There are more and more appearances in the yard, and the yard is not as barren and messy as she imagined, because it is covered by snow.

Mother Xu reached in, pulled out a bell tied with a wire from the door, and said to Ji Wanyan:
"It's this bell that reminds Madam."

Ji Wanyan took the bell and looked at Mother Xu with tears in her eyes, and asked sadly, "Do you often come to give her things?" That's why I know so much.

Xu's mother didn't speak, just sighed, took the bell in Ji Wanyan's hand, reached into the yard and shook it three times, and then the two of them waited in front of the small window for a while, there was still no movement in the yard, Xu's mother also felt strange, and put her hands on the bell. When I reached into the window and wanted to get the bell again, an unkempt man suddenly appeared at the window, which startled Mama Xu and Ji Wanyan. Mama Xu's hand couldn't be pulled back, but was caught by the man inside. Without saying anything, she started biting. Mother Xu endured the pain and said to the inside:
"Ma'am, it's me, it's me, madam! Don't bite, don't bite."

But the people inside seemed to be unable to hear them at all, biting Mother Xu's arm while saying inarticulately: "Eat, eat."
