Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 237

"Mother, you will get better." She held Liu Zifu's skinny hand, pressed it to her cheek, and murmured, holding back her tears.

"I can't be more clear about my own bones. What is there to regret about having you Chenghuan in this life?" Liu Zifu stared at her fixedly, as if greedily wanting to wipe Xie Yanniang's face Keep it in mind.

"I heard that you were expelled from the Xie family. When you were so sad, I couldn't be by your side. It really doesn't make sense. Will Qiu'er blame me?"

"No, the head of the Xie family only wants to sell their daughter for glory, so who cares about my life? Leaving the Xie family may not be a good thing, but it has failed my mother's expectations." Xie Yanniang shook her head, telling the truth.

Liu Zifu's eyes turned red, and she sighed: "At the beginning, I thought he would take pity on you for my sake, but I was too naive. To be able to leave us mother and child behind, we will not be together for more than ten years. Wen Buwen, how can such a man with a heart as hard as a rock soften his heart? It is not a bad thing for Qiu'er to leave Xie's house."

Only now did she see the stalwart man not far behind Xie Yanniang, she was a little surprised and said: "This young man is..."

Xie Yanniang's cheeks were slightly red, and she introduced in a low voice: "Mother, this is my husband. We just got married a while ago, so I didn't have time to tell you."

"Looks like a good man, Qiu'er is blessed. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything to add makeup to you. It just so happens that this bracelet has been with me for ten years, and it can be regarded as a beloved thing. You can wear it and play with it." Good." Liu Zifu could see that Xie Yanniang was well taken care of, her thin body had become plump, her complexion was pale and rosy, her brows were shy, and she glanced at the man behind her from time to time, with an intimate attitude.

Looking at this son-in-law again, although he looks ordinary, his black eyes are not angry but mighty, obviously his status is not ordinary.It's just that when his eyes fell on Xie Yanniang, there was a bit of tenderness and pampering.

It seems that her daughter has chosen the right person and married the right person, Liu Zifu is even more at ease.

What she couldn't let go of the most was the daughter she raised with her own hands. Now that she saw Xie Yanniang happy, she felt at ease.

Liu Zifu looked deeply at Xie Yanniang, then glanced at Ruan Jingxin, seemingly hesitating to speak.

Seeing her hesitation, Xie Yanniang took Liu Zifu's hand and said, "Sometimes, mother just opens the mouth."

The implication is that there is no secret between her and Ruan Jingxin.

Liu Zifu sighed inwardly, she is such a silly girl, sometimes she should think more of herself.The more thoroughly you are known by others, the more likely you will be unable to escape the palm of the other party in the future.

She glanced at Ruan Jingxin nervously, but still raised her hand tremblingly to pull away the baggage that had been clutched by her side.

No matter who came to snatch it, Liu Zifu would hold her tightly in her arms.

Those evil slaves thought it was valuable, but fortunately someone helped them, so they didn't snatch it.

"This is for you," Liu Zifu opened the bag tremblingly, the surface was a little damp, maybe it got wet while walking on the waterway.

She opened it slowly, carefully, as if it contained rare treasures in the world.

But after opening it completely, Xie Yanniang saw an old swaddle that had been washed white: "Mother, what is this?"

"This was put together when you were first sent here." Liu Zifu said with difficulty, seeing that Xie Yanniang was not at all surprised, she obviously knew about it a long time ago.

She sighed, knowing that there was nothing wrong with it, and she didn't have time to explain: "When Ren Yazi sent you here, you were thin and small, but you laughed as soon as you saw me. I took out all my private houses and asked you to come here. Originally, I thought I could win back the master's heart, but Qiu'er grew up day by day, but she turned out to be well-behaved and cute. Unconsciously, I treat you as my own daughter. Now that I am dying, I think there may be a mother who has lost her daughter and has been looking for you."

Liu Zifu stuffed the baby into Xie Yanniang's arms, and sighed softly: "Giving this thing back to you is also a fulfillment of my wish, so I won't leave with regrets."

"Mother..." Xie Yanniang's eyes were red again, she didn't expect Liu Zifu to send her this thing while dragging her sick body.

This is so important to her, with it, maybe she can really find her biological parents.

"You are also married, and you will have children soon, and you may still blame me." Liu Zifu's face was as pale as a piece of paper, but her spirits became better and better.

Xie Yanniang's tears rolled down her cheeks, she knew that Liu Zifu was coming back, and she would leave her soon.

"Mother, how can I blame you? I might have been abducted at the beginning. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have been able to grow up properly. Maybe I would have been sold to be a maid, a slave, and a servant girl. I couldn't eat well. If you don't wear warm clothes, how can you be as good as you are now? You are so kind to me, save food and money, and stick to me for everything, but I feel guilty for not being filial to my mother. "

Liu Zifu raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, and said helplessly, "Why are you crying? It makes me worry. Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape, there will always be such a day. I have lived a long time, and I got a good daughter for nothing. , stay with me all the time, otherwise I will definitely go crazy every two years in that huge house."

She didn't have a choice back then, and the mistress didn't like it, so she let herself out secretly, but she was also stared at.

If you follow an ordinary person, you will have to implicate the other party.

Mr. Xie is a businessman with a wide network of contacts. He knows how many high-ranking officials and nobles. Marrying him will give you some blessings.

If nothing happened for a year or two, the mistress also gave up, not wanting to offend the Xie family.

Later, with Xie Yanniang, Liu Zifu felt hopeful in life.

Thinking of this, her eyes softened a bit, but her body was gradually losing strength, knowing that her time was running out: "Good boy, go find your biological parents. When I die, don't bury me." Xie’s family, it’s better to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.”

Liu Zifu was also abducted by Ren Yazi, and she didn't know where her original home was at all.

That being the case, she didn't worry about it any more, and just found a clean place to stay: "Qiu'er, don't cry, it won't look good if you cry any more. Look at the eyes that are swollen like peaches, aren't you afraid that your son-in-law will laugh at you? "

With the last effort, she raised her hand to caress Xie Yanniang's cheek, and said softly: "My dear girl, give me one last smile?"

Xie Yanniang's face was already full of tears, suppressing her crying, she could only tightly hold onto Liu Zifu's hand.

She felt that the hand that had let go of her head more than once had long since been skinny, so dry that it made one's heart feel sad, and it was also cold.

"Mother..."

Xie Yanniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes indiscriminately, trying to give Liu Zifu a smile.It's a pity that I forced the corners of my mouth to curl up, but I couldn't laugh no matter what.

She didn't need to look in the mirror to understand that for her current self, that smile was probably uglier than crying.

Liu Zifu also knew that she was reluctantly thanking Yanniang, caressing her cheek affectionately, her eyes gradually became blurred.

She seemed to have seen Xie Yanniang hugged in her arms when she saw Xie Yanniang for the first time, so fragile that it made people feel pity.

At that time, Liu Zifu was still hesitant to keep this child to fool Mr. Xie, after all, she knew in her heart that that cold-hearted man might not be very kind to Xie Yanniang.

It may not be a good thing for Xie Yanniang to stay.

With just one glance, seeing Xie Yanniang's unconscious smile, Liu Zifu made up her mind.

Even if Mr. Xie doesn't like it, or leaves him, at least this daughter can accompany her.

Liu Zifu sighed more than once that her decision back then was too wise.

Every time when the hardships are almost unbearable, I see the little Xie Yanniang beside me, she is sensible and well-behaved, always knows to leave good things to her, and her small body clumsily wants to share Liu Zifu's worries.

Liu Zifu clenched Xie Yanniang's hand tightly with her last strength, and slowly closed her eyes with a smile on her lips.

"Mother—" Xie Yanniang watched Liu Zifu's hand slip from her palm, and fell on her body, crying loudly.

The people below gradually became cold, and she only realized later that Liu Zifu had really left her just like that.

Ruan Jingxin stepped forward to help Xie Yanniang, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Xie Yanniang was crying out of breath, he sighed and gently patted the back of the person in his arms, comforting him: "Don't cry, don't let her go uneasy."

She also knew that the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing she could do except choose the best place for Liu Zifu to bury her.

Xie Yanniang's dazed expression made Ruan Jingxin a little worried, he hugged Xie Yanniang and walked out of the room step by step.

The eldest princess was still waiting outside. When she saw the two people coming out, she had heard the heart-piercing cries in the room. Knowing that the poor lady had passed away, she couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Xie Yanniang's tear-stained face, being hugged by Ruan Jingxin almost numbly, her eyes seemed to see nothing, she couldn't help sighing: "You can't be resurrected after death, girl, don't feel guilty. She has a daughter like you, and she can still see you." To see you for the last time is already a blessing among misfortunes."

When the eldest princess thought of the death of the son-in-law, she couldn't even see her face for the last time, and the circles of her eyes couldn't help turning red.

The nanny behind her comforted her a few words, Xie Yanniang came back to her senses, surrounded by Ruan Jingxin's breath, the pain of losing a loved one seemed to be smoothed away, her forehead was pressed against his shoulder, and after a while she finally calmed down.

"It's my fault that brought back the sadness of the eldest princess."

"Where is it, the most important thing now is to choose a place with a treasured geomantic omen, let her be buried in a grand manner, so as to fulfill the love between your mother and daughter." The eldest princess shook her head lightly, calming down, only then did she realize that Xie Yanniang was still holding something in her arms. Looking familiar, I couldn't help but startled: "What is this?"

"It's the swaddle that I had when I was young. My mother said that when she bought me from Ren Yazi, she was only wearing this swaddle." Xie Yanniang also remembered that this swaddle was stuffed in by Liu Zifu in the end, and she was in a trance just now In a trance, I completely forgot about this thing.

The eldest princess took the swaddle with red eyes, rubbed it lightly in her hands, and acted cautiously, as if she was stroking the most precious treasure in the world: "What did you say, it was from Ren Yazi... Isn't she your biological mother? "
