Concubine's true colors

Chapter 60
Xiao Jinxuan and his party drove the carriage extremely fast, and they arrived at Wenxin's house in less than half a cup of tea.

After getting off the carriage, Xiao Jinxuan raised her head and looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of her.

This is also the first time for her to come to Wen Xin's house. Although she knew that the other party's life was difficult, she never thought that she would be so miserable.

I saw that the walls around the yard were not made of bricks, but of yellow mud and straw. In some places on the wall, there were big cracks, which were plugged with straw, and the work was over.

When I entered the yard, I saw that there was nothing in the yard, and the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep that ordinary people would raise, half of which could not be seen.

The three houses had no tiles on the roof, but were all covered with straw, and the air paper pasted on the doors and windows was also torn.

Xiao Jinxuan frowned, and asked Bai Shu at the side: "Didn't I give Wenxin two months' wages in advance, why is his house still like this, can people still live here?"

Hearing this, Bai Shu said with red eyes: "Miss gave him the money, and he used it to buy supplements for the aunt. Although you said, just tell you what is lacking, but Miss Wenxin's temperament also knows that he is I'm used to having a hippie smile, but I'm definitely not a shameless person, he often told me that you are enough to help, you really can't forget your identity, and let you worry about everything for him."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan didn't know what to say, so she wanted to blame Bai Shu, why didn't she tell her this earlier, when she heard the sound of porcelain breaking and women's scolding from the main room in the middle of the courtyard .

Even standing at the gate of the courtyard, you can hear clearly.

"You wild child who was picked up somewhere, get the hell out of here, now the elders of the family are here, look at this family tree clearly, you have been expelled, you are not my Xiao family, what are you doing here, If you are forced, we will beat you out."

Anger flashed in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes. In the Great Zhou Kingdom, if a person is expelled from the clan, there is a secret saying that such a person will become a ghost after death, wandering around, without a place to live, just Even the underworld will not accept it.

Therefore, unless the clan members committed serious crimes, relatives of the same clan would not easily expel people from the clan.

But now, just because of these three rooms, these people want to expel Wen Xin from the family tree. Xiao Jinxuan couldn't bear to listen, so she stepped forward, pushed the door open, and walked in with a frosty face.

She pushed the door with great force, and the broken wooden door, which was about to fall apart, slammed into the walls on both sides with a "bang", and one of the doors fell directly to the ground, making a dull sound.

This sound shocked the middle-aged woman who was standing in the middle of the room with her hands on her waist and yelling and cursing the most.

Seeing that she hadn't turned around to see the situation clearly, a series of curses burst out again.

"Which ghost is here to scare my aunt and grandma, making clinking noises, what's the matter with the idle room not being lively enough, pushing the door in such a hurry, rushing to reincarnate, my aunt and grandma don't want to eat..."

The woman was swearing, but when she turned around and saw Xiao Jinxuan standing in front of the door, looking at her coldly, the other party's calm aura subconsciously made her shrink her neck, and she was shocked I dare not talk nonsense anymore.

At this time, other people in the room naturally noticed that Xiao Jinxuan was an unexpected guest.

He saw an old man in his sixties sitting at the top, looked her up and down a few times, saw that the other person was well dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, so he stood up tremblingly.

"I don't know who this lady is. I am the patriarch of the Xiao family. Today we are dealing with family affairs. If there is nothing else, can the lady avoid it for a while?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyes to look at the old man, but didn't answer his words at all.

On the contrary, she turned her head and said in a deep voice to Mama Li beside her: "That naughty woman's mouth just now was really hated by others. Mama Li slapped her mouth for me, and told her to remember clearly, so that she can see clearly who can offend her. She can't afford to offend anyone in her life."

When Li's mother heard the words, she immediately accepted the order to do so. Naturally, the other members of the Xiao family in the house refused, but don't forget that Deng Jiuke was waiting outside with a group of Xiao family servants. When they rushed in, any resistance would be nothing. Paper is the same.

Without a moment's mistake, the middle-aged woman was pressed down and knelt in front of Xiao Jinxuan. Mother Li stepped forward to slap her mouth, but Xiao Jinxuan stopped her.

"Kneeling me what to do, press in front of Wenxin, when Wenxin says stop, mother Li, stop again, otherwise you will be beaten to death, and you are not allowed to stop today, I will bear all the consequences."

The people in Xiao's mansion naturally followed suit immediately. After a while, applause and the woman's cries could be heard one after another in the house. Wenxin's relatives all became uneasy, but none of them dared to move. all at once.

Those who were able to travel with a maid and dozens of entourages, who had a bit of a brain, knew that this woman who appeared suddenly was probably of an extraordinary status, and no one dared to speak a word for a while.

In the end, the old man who claimed to be the patriarch stood up and said angrily: "Miss, you are too unreasonable. You hit people when you come in. I can see that you are noble, but you are too lawless." .”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan sneered, and looked at the old man mockingly.

"Unreasonable? Unreasonable? Is the old man talking about me, or about yourself? Now that the owner's family has passed away, you are forcing an orphan whose parents have died. Who is more unreasonable? You should always ask yourself with your conscience."

Embarrassment flashed across the old man's face, but he still poked the crutch in his hand on the ground, shouting louder.

"This is my Xiao family's business. Who are you? It's not your turn to take care of our family's affairs."

Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyebrows, and said loudly: "You are always confused. I was outside the door just now, but I heard that you have expelled Wenxin from the genealogy. He is no longer from your lineage now, and He works in my Xiao residence, even my Xiao Jinxuan's people, anyone who dares to touch me will have to ask me if I agree."

Her words really stirred up waves, now in Yangzhou, even a three-year-old child knows who Xiao Jinxuan is.

Now it is heard that the rightful lord is Xiao Heng's daughter, Xiao Heng's daughter, the fourth young lady of the Xiao family, the people in the room couldn't sit still.

And they could understand the other party's words. He came here to support Xiao Wenxin today. Although they knew that Wenxin was working in Xiao's mansion, they heard that he was just running errands. Who would have thought that the fourth lady would come here in person for the sake of the other party. up.

If they knew how close the relationship between the two was, they wouldn't have dared to devour this courtyard with their guts.

These people don't dare to covet this house anymore, they just want to leave quickly, don't look at everyone's surname is Xiao, but compared with Xiao Heng's lineage, their side branch is not worthy of carrying shoes, let alone what happened today, They don't make sense.

But how could Xiao Jinxuan forget it like this, since she is about to leave Yangzhou, if this matter is not resolved today, I am afraid that she will not be around in the future, and this group of snobbish relatives will come back to make things difficult for Wen Xin.

Seeing the one who got up and walked to the door after the confession, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Jinxuan called out to stop him.

"Why did Patriarch Xiao leave in such a hurry? I haven't finished my sentence yet. Could it be that standing in the same room with me makes you so unbearable?"

These words almost scared the old patriarch to death, how dare he have such thoughts, he immediately waved his hands again and again.

"Miss Si misunderstood, we are all wrong today, this child Wenxin is indeed pitiful, from now on he can live in this house as long as he wants, everything is up to him."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan chuckled, and said slowly: "It's natural, because this house was originally left by Wenxin's parents. You must know that my Dazhou law clearly states that the ownership of all houses and shops belongs to the holder of the land deed. It is owned by the owner, and others are not qualified to occupy it privately, do you understand what I said?"

The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and nodded repeatedly. He didn't know this at his age, and today he saw Wenxin alone and helpless, so he planned to take the house by force, but he didn't want to kick on the iron board.

With a satisfied smile, Xiao Jinxuan said again: "I will instruct Steward Deng in my mansion to keep Wenxin's land deed for him. If today's farce happens again next time, I won't come to you to reason. Hold the title deed and wait for you in the court."

If ordinary people asked him what he was most afraid of, he would definitely be interrogated. The old patriarch swayed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the clansmen at the side were quick to support him.

Seeing that she was punished, Xiao Jinxuan was also punished, and she was also frightened. She signaled Mother Li to stop, and let the group of people leave with the woman whose face was swollen into a pig's head.

Anyway, she could see that in Wenxin's current state, even if the woman was really beaten to death, he would not have any reaction, because he had already closed himself up, and everything outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Looking at the corner of the wall, hugging his knees tightly, his eyes lost focus.Looking straight ahead at Wenxin, Xiao Jinxuan signaled everyone to go out, then she sighed, came to the other side, and squatted down.

"Cry if you want to cry, you have tried your best, I think the moment your mother left, she must be gratified, because whether you are her biological child or not, she is on your body and feels the pride of being a mother , you are not ashamed of her."

Wen Xin's arms hugged his knees, trembling slightly, then his brows were tightly wrinkled, his eyes closed in pain, his mouth opened wide, but he didn't make a sound.

After a long while, he let out a cry, hugged Xiao Jinxuan in front of him, and burst into tears.

At the end of the cry, it had become hoarse and weak, but Wenxin seemed to want to shed all the tears in his life, but he still couldn't stop.

Ever since his mother became seriously ill, Wen Xin not only had to bear all the pressures of life, but also forced himself to smile so that his mother would not worry about him. But he was only a teenager, and now that his biological mother died, the tension in his heart was broken. , if it wasn't for Xiao Jinxuan's arrival, he might not be able to stand the stimulation and drive himself crazy.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't say anything, just hugged him silently, patted his back comfortingly with both hands, again and again.
