A shack made of thatch and branches was washed away by the rain and almost fell apart.
No matter how poor the family is, they can afford to live in a mud house with tiles.
Only Xiao Jiran's family lived in a rickety thatched hut. The house leaked, the ground was wet, and the humidity was high.
Yu Weiyin looked at the almost bare-walled room. Apart from tables, chairs and benches, there was only a hard wooden bed.
At this time, the wooden bed was already mottled by the rain, leaving ink-colored water stains on the thin quilt.
"Xiao is so poor that he will make the girl laugh."
Xiao Jiran's expression has been tense ever since he heard the name "Yan Xiao" from Yu Weiyin's mouth, and when he looked at Yu Weiyin, his eyes were guarded.
"The girl saw it. I only have a hut here. I wonder what the girl wants?"
"Brother Xiao will take Ru Bian to meet Miss Yan Xiao at the City God's Temple in the suburbs on the 15th of every month. All I ask is that Brother Xiao persuade Miss Yan Xiao to give me the Yaoguang Silk House, and I will give everything I have.
Help your family reunite."
Xiao Jiran's expression changed suddenly, from initial confusion to panic.
"Who are you? How did you know about us?"
"Brother Xiao, if you are interested in investigating, not only me, but others may know about it soon. You followed Miss Yan Xiao all the way from Yue to Tongcheng. Along the way, you also thought of many ways to escape, right? Since
If you fail, why not try to let me help you?"
Seeing the sharpness in his eyes, Yu Weiyin smiled.
"You don't need to panic. I am the eldest lady of the Yu Mansion. I just want the Yaoguang Ling and I have no ill intentions towards you."
Xiao Jiran clenched his fists and glanced at Yu Weiyin, feeling tangled in his heart.
This woman actually made all their details clear!
He and Yan Xiao are both descendants of the Yue people, childhood sweethearts, and have been engaged for a long time.
It's just that Yan Xiao's father was framed in the Chen Dynasty and thrown into a prison, which implicated more than a hundred people in the Yan family. The men were exiled and the women were sent into prostitution.
Because of this incident, the Xiao Mansion became increasingly desolate.
The master of the Xiao Mansion and his mistress ordered Xiao Jiran to immediately terminate the engagement with Yan Xiao and forget about each other.
He refused. Ever since Yan Xiao entered the Yue Di Chu Pavilion, he had been trying every means to rescue her.
However, the guilty minister's daughter had already registered her identity certificate with the county government, signed a identity agreement with the madam, and left the building to stay at the hotel, so the matter was exposed.
Xiao Jiran also escaped once with Yan Xiao, but he underestimated the brothel's thugs.
He was so frail and frail that he spit out bright red blood after only a dozen blows with the stick.
Yan Xiao later became pregnant, and after giving birth to Xiao Rushian to him, she gave up the idea of running away.
Going around and around, from Chuguan in Yuedi to Tongcheng, she wanted to say goodbye to you, but Xiao Jiman still refused to let go.
Since I can't save her, I might as well stay close to her or watch her from a distance.
Xiao Jiran turned his gaze to Yu Weiyin again and saw her dazzling phoenix eyes, which were shining with hope.
He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Miss Yu, since Xiao'er doesn't want to give you Yaoguang Ling, I'm afraid I can't change her mind."
"Miss Yan Xiao doesn't want to give up on me. She is determined to win the Oiran election with Yao Guang Ling. I guess her intention is to get better from now on, so that she can help you and let you live a better life. But
…”
Yu Weiyin changed his tone.
"On the night of winning the championship, Captain Chen prepared to take her as his concubine. Do you know who Captain Chen is?"
When Xiao Jiran heard about Captain Chen, the image of an old and skinny old man appeared in his mind. He suddenly clenched his fists, anger emerged on his cheeks, making his pale cheeks turn red.
He suddenly sneered.
"How do you know this? Why should I trust you?"
"You may not believe it, but what you face is the fear of losing her forever."
Yu Weiyin's voice is extremely calm, even cruel.
"Duwei Chen is narrow-minded and has many eccentricities. After Yan Xiao enters the Duwei Mansion, he will be locked in a high building and contract a nasty disease. In the end, there will be no cure and he will die of depression. If it is because of your doubts about me,
, let her embark on such an ending...
"Then the initiator is you!"
In order to gain Xiao Jiran's trust, Yu Weiyin gritted his teeth and added another sentence.
"If you still don't believe it, I will tell you something else. In two days, it will be fifteen, but Yan Xiao will not meet you at the Chenghuang Temple this time. She will be entangled by Captain Chen. You can verify it yourself.
.”
After that, she didn't want to see Xiao Jiran's reaction anymore, so she turned around and walked out of the room.
Not far away, Shao Mo, dressed in black clothes, stood under a pomegranate tree.
Xiao Rubian was pestering him to teach martial arts. He made a few punches, but when he caught a glimpse of Yu Weiyin's figure, his dark eyes revealed a glimmer of light.
"Miss, has he agreed?"
Yu Weiyin walked to him and shook his head.
"I don't know what his plans are. Now we can only wait for news."
"Sister Yinyin, didn't you say you wanted to take me to find my mother? How about we go now?"
Xiao Rubian tilted his head and stared at Yu Weiyin expectantly.
"I just learned two moves from Brother Shao Mo. I can beat those bad guys!"
Yu Weiyin was surprised, "Do you know where your mother is?"
"I know that she was locked up in a beautiful attic by bad guys. Dad said it was called Shichun Tower, and there were many big guys guarding it..."
Yu Weiyin leaned down and touched his head.
"Like Bian, sister Yinyin has a way to save your mother, but your father doesn't believe in her now, so you help your sister persuade your father. As long as your father is willing to nod, your sister will help you."
"Really?" Xiao Rubian almost jumped with excitement.
"Dad is always calling mother's name in his dreams. He will definitely agree... No, if dad doesn't agree, I will persuade him to agree!"
"Bian is so good."
Yu Weiyin handed the money bag around his waist to Xiao Rubian, "Take this money and hire a doctor for your father as soon as possible."
"But...but dad won't let me take it..."
Xiao Rubian hesitated, thinking of his father's stern face, and hurriedly hid his little hands behind his back.
Yu Weiyin thought for a moment and then spoke.
"If your father blames you, just tell him that he is sick and cannot protect his loved ones. Only by living can you have opportunities and hope."
Xiao Rubian nodded, took the silver bag, stuffed it secretly into his waist, and the door of the hut opened at this moment.
Xiao Jiran greeted him, "Ru Bian, come in!"
His voice was a little more majestic. Xiao Rubian quickly glanced at Yu Weiyin and Shao Mo, stuck out his tongue, and whispered:
"Sister Yinyin, brother Shao Mo, I'm going in."
Yu Weiyin watched him go in, watched Xiao Jiran close the wooden door, and looked at each other with Shao Mo.
"Miss, why are you bothering so much? If Mo Ruo holds the child in his hands, they will obediently hand over Yao Guang Ling."
"Shao Mo, I have also thought about it. I can use the fastest method to steal, rob, and threaten them. However, this is the way to make enemies with others."
