Rebirth of marriage

With a ready-made shop, Xie Jiu quickly opened a medicine shop. Lin Shu originally wanted to attend the clinic in person, but there were a large number of patients in the exile area who couldn't do without her.

It was not convenient for Xie Jiu to come forward, so he handed over the medicine shop to the third master of the Lu family, and with people from Prince Xiao's Mansion guarding it, she had almost nothing to do.

On this day, when I was free, Xie Jiu thought about going to the old censor's place, but unexpectedly, the old couple came to the door themselves.

The person was sent by Li Qiye.

The snow was too heavy and it was not safe for the old couple to live in their mud house. Mo Li was ordered to take them to Xiaowang Villa, but the two packed their bags and came here instead.

They want to live at Lin Shu's house.

At this point, Xie Jiu himself was still a renter, so he couldn't make the decision, so he found Lin Shu.

The old censor looked at Lin Shu, his usually rigid face now full of wrinkles as he smiled, "My dear granddaughter, has your father ever told you who I am?"

Lin Shu nodded hesitantly.

Xie Jiu was shocked. He only knew that both of them had the surname Lin. He never thought that they were actually a family.

Seeing this, the old man smiled even louder and said, "My dear granddaughter, would you be willing to bring your cousin to stay at your house for a few days?"

It was only after Lin Shu was told by his father before his death that he learned that this unyielding censor was his father's uncle.

The Lin family has been practicing medicine for generations, but they gave birth to a character who did not like studying medicine, but only loved studying and was determined to enter the imperial censorship and bring order to things.

A censor who sticks to his true intentions is destined to offend many people. The great-grandfather disagreed, and the father and son had a falling out. In anger, he was expelled from the family, and he established another family and changed his name to Lin Zheng.

The righteousness that remains upright, the righteousness that brings order out of chaos.

Later, when he was the top scholar in high school and entered the Yushitai as he wished, the Lin family wanted to ease the relationship with him. He kicked out the clan members who came for peace talks. The Lin family called him ungrateful behind his back, but there was nothing they could do about him.

Her father said that Lin did not want to implicate the family. If the two elderly people were in need in the future, she would need a helping hand.

Lin Shu did not dare to go against his father's final words.

And she vaguely noticed that the two of them came to thank them for drinking.

They were indeed here to say thank you for the wine.

That night, after several people had dinner, the old couple sat in the room where they were drinking wine.

The upright old censor was the first to speak, "Your method of asking someone to pretend to frame Cao Shoufu is very insidious."

Xie Jiu replied rudely, "Did they act openly when they assassinated the prince repeatedly?"

"You plotted against them and trapped them in the snowy mountains. This is a vicious move." The old man continued to accuse.

Thank you for the wine without saying a word.

Waiting for the old censor to continue to condemn her, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "But your strategizing this time really makes me admire you and I feel very happy."

The old lady slapped the back of his hand and said, "Whatever you do to scare a little girl, I can do it much better than you."

She looked at Xie Jiu again, "Don't listen to his nonsense about being sinister and vicious. We are retaliating with retaliation. They are also the ones who are sinister and vicious. You have done a good job and I have to thank you."

After saying that, she suddenly took Xie Jiu's hand and said, "Girl, the old lady wants to ask you, can you always be good to him?"

The two people's abnormality made Xie Jiu unsure of what they were going to do for a while, but she nodded. God gave her a chance to be reborn. If it wasn't just to make up for the regrets in her previous life, how could she not be nice to him.

The old lady seemed pleased to have her approval, and she said, "Girl, would you like to hear the old lady tell a story?"

Although he asked this question, he didn't wait for the answer before thanking him for the wine. "The last generation of the uncle's family inherited the family, and there were no future heirs in the family, so he thought about relying on the women in the family to climb into wealth in the future. However, the uncle had no daughters, and there were no grandchildren. All boys.

Mrs. Bo then had the idea of ​​secretly exchanging the child, and she actually succeeded. Two pregnant women who went to the temple to offer incense were frightened and gave birth prematurely at the same time. Mrs. Bo got a granddaughter in exchange for her wish.

The granddaughter and the hairpin queen married into the royal family. Although she married an idle prince, she was still an in-law to the royal family. The title was naturally saved, and the girl's father inherited the title and became the new uncle.

I thought this was a great blessing, but unexpectedly, the unpopular prince's uncle suddenly became the most promising person to inherit the throne.

How can a woman from a declining uncle's family be able to honor the world as a mother?

At this time, the wealthy family surnamed Cao revealed to the prince that they were willing to support him in ascending to the throne, but they had to marry the daughter of the Cao family as their first wife. The prince hesitated because at this time he already had a princess and his legitimate son was already five years old.

On the contrary, it was the uncle's family who knew the news and was the first to agree to his daughter's abdication.

Even being the concubine of the new emperor would bring more benefits to the family than being the concubine of an idle prince. Mrs. Bo personally took her husband to her daughter's house to frame her daughter for having an affair with the man.

There are all the witnesses and physical evidence. Mrs. Bo personally accused her daughter of being unclean and asked her uncle to demote her daughter to a concubine.

The prince knew all this well, but he needed the support of the Cao family, so he acquiesced to all this.

The sacrifice and frame-up of her family, and her husband's indifference and abandonment drove the poor woman crazy. "

Xie Jiu could no longer hold back, and was restrained by the old lady from interrupting her words. It was so obvious that she couldn't understand. The woman the old lady was talking about was Gu Xiao's mother.

She didn't know that his mother had suffered such misery and madness. What kind of good life could young Gu Xiao have?

Xie Jiu blinked hard, hiding the water in his eyes, and looked at the two old people, "Who are you?"

I actually already had the answer in my heart, and I just wanted to know their attitude and stance towards Gu Xiao.

The old lady sighed heavily, "I am the woman whose daughter was stolen away by Madam Na. The woman they drove crazy is the biological daughter that the old lady gave birth to in her ten-month pregnancy."

"When did you know that Gu Xiao's mother was your daughter?" Xie Jiu asked again.

There were tears in the eyes of the old lady, "During my pregnancy, I always felt that I was carrying a daughter, but what I gave birth to was a son. Everyone thought I was talking nonsense, but I am a mother, and I have feelings about some things. Finally, five years ago, I found out the truth."

So five years ago, the old censor impeached the uncle's house in exchange for his son, and exiled his old wife here. They followed Gu Xiao.

What's the use?

Xie Jiu murmured, "Five years ago, he had grown up. What kind of life was he living in those years when no one was protecting him before that."

The old censor's back bent inch by inch following the old lady's words. The previous uprightness and awe-inspiringness had long since disappeared, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

His lips trembled, "When he was five years old, his mother went crazy and was imprisoned by her. He followed her to take care of her. No one cared about him that day when the emperor and empress were getting married.

At that time, his mother was already four months pregnant. She originally wanted to hide the first trimester to ensure the pregnancy and to give her husband a surprise, but before she could tell her, her husband wanted to marry someone else.

She hated herself so much that she dropped the child in front of Gu Xiao. When others found out, her body was covered in blood and she was dying. In the pool of blood, Gu Xiao shouted for help outside the locked door while trying to shake him. Wake up his mother.

When he was six years old, his mother began to self-mutilate, and she was sober for half a month. Gradually, the self-mutilation tendency became more and more serious, and the sober time became less and less. By the time he was ten years old, she had been awake for almost a year. Sober several times. "

The old censor covered his face with his hands, and water droplets emerged from his fingers, "Cao became the queen and gave birth to the third prince the next year, so he planned to attack their mother and son. For this reason, the emperor hid them in the market, and he was alone Taking care of his mother for four years until she committed suicide in front of him."

Xie Jiu's vision had long been blurred, and her heart was in great pain. She gritted her teeth, "Everyone in the world said that the old man was upright and upright in his life, and he eradicated all injustices in the world. Why didn't you say a word of apology for him?"

She knew she was being irrationally angry.

But she felt distressed. She remembered that on New Year's Eve in her previous life, Gu Xiao kidnapped her and took her to Prince Xiao's Mansion to have a New Year's Eve dinner with him. She didn't curse that she was not his family, so why did she have to have a reunion dinner with him.

She still remembers his cold voice saying that he had no one to reunite with.

His mother died of madness. Both his maternal uncle and his own biological father were the murderers who forced his mother to death. His half-brothers wished that he would die early. He had been there since his father gave up on their mother and son when he was five years old. No relatives left.

But according to what the old lady said, they knew the truth five years ago, why Gu Xiao was still alone in his previous life.

The old man had a gray face and said with a wry smile, "In my life, I am worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the court, and worthy of the people, but I am worthy of my daughter and grandson. My daughter has passed away, and we only have that child."

He sneered miserably, "But he didn't want to fight for his life. We originally planned to wait until he lost his life that day, so we followed, but we were unwilling to do so. What was wrong with him? Why did we ask him to give up his life? .”

"How could it be?" Xie Jiu's face instantly drained of color, how could Gu Xiao not want to live...
