68, widowed

In the summer of the ninth year of Dali, Sun Yanzhou, the only son of the Guanglu Temple Office, died of illness. Lord Sun, who was a white-haired man, asked his boss for a month off. The boss pityed him for his son in his old age. It was really pitiful, and he was sure without saying a word.

The Sun family is not considered a famous family in Beijing. Except for the familiar families who have expressed their feelings and condolences, Sun Xiang's death was like a feather falling down, and it was soon settled, and it did not cause any unnecessary movement in the world.

Xu Jing also returned to the Sun's house in plain clothes the night when Sun Xiang's death was heard. The first thing she did when she returned was to move all her things to Xiangzhuyuan.

After the first seventh, when Xu Shu went to see Xu Jing, Xu Jing had already neatly tidied up the entire Xiangzhu courtyard. Xu Jing was wearing a plain white mourning clothes and stood in the yard with a bright and comfortable smile on her face.

"I wear filial piety at home, I feel sorry for you, and I can only eat vegetarian food today!" Xu Jing's voice was very light. I thought she could see it a lot after this battle, and her mood was different.

Before Xu Shu could speak, Sun Qi pouted first, "Mom, there is no oil or meat at all, my daughter can't eat it!"

Xu Jing touched Sun Qi's head, "Horse it first, it will be fine in a few days!"

Sun Qi nodded obediently, and Xu Shu gave her the snacks she brought. She glanced at Xu Jing, and Xu Jing nodded. She immediately took them with cheers and ran into the house.

Xu Jing smiled and watched her daughter enter the house, then took Xu Shu to the wing room and brewed Xu Shu's favorite white tea for her.

Xu Shu held the teacup and let the water vapor with the fragrance of tea smoke on her face. She took off the eyelashes exposed after the eye-covering cloth tape and dripped on her layer of fine water droplets. The sunlight in late summer shone on Xu Shu's face through the gap of the half-stacked window lattice. After the reflection and refraction of the water droplets, she fainted in colorful light. Her fair skin became almost translucent in the sun. Such a face was so delicate that it was as if a fairy had walked out of the painting, which made people fascinated by seeing it, but the gray-shaded eyes made Xu Jing feel sad.

"Or can't see anything?" Xu Jing asked.

When Xu Shu was just blind, she invited many doctors to see her, but at that time, Xu Shu was in pain and was in danger of her life. Even her life was almost impossible to save. What is the mere eye? When she saved her life and turned back and remembered her eyes, she had no medicine.

Xu Shu shook her head and faced her face to the sun. "It's dark, and I can only sense the direction of the light by temperature!"

Xu Shu's glasses were open in the sun, and Xu Jing's eyes were sore that she turned her face over, "There will always be a solution!"

Xu Shu smiled and nodded, "Maybe!"

Xu Jing looked at the smile on Xu Shu's face with heartache, but she couldn't laugh with her. She has paid so much for the Xu family, when can she think about herself?

"Have you been here at Duke Rong's Mansion recently been diligent?"

Xu Shu nodded, "I am very diligent. I come and go back the next day. I don't just eat and do things. I always bring some here. I used to invite An to my grandmother and mother to come over. Now I have come too much and my mother can't come to socialize anymore, so I come to Shulin Pavilion directly!"

Xu Jing was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "What do you think about the marriage to Duke Rong's Mansion?"

"I never thought of climbing, but I would make those who look down on me unable to climb on me!" Xu Shuyu revealed her secrets.

Xu Jing probably understood what Xu Shu meant, but the family was fighting for the worst, but Xiaojiu never took this marriage seriously.

"When you were unconscious in the Duke Rong's Mansion that day, Mrs. Qi kept you in the Duke's Mansion to recuperate. I thought it was a good thing, but my mother refused. Since you thought so, I would be relieved!"

"Mother... it's for the Tenth Sister... I stayed in Qi's family. How can I ask Tenth Sister to replace me in the future?" Xu Shu's tone was depressed, "Apart from the Seventh Brother, my mother loves the Seventh Sister the most. Seventh Sister decided to have the Song family, so Tenth Sister naturally can't be too far away..."

But what about Xu Shu, who was sandwiched between Xu Ting and Xu Sheng? When did Li think about her?

"Xiaojiu..." Xu Jing called out softly, wanting to say some comfort words but can't say them. She was already desperate for the Xu family, so how could she say those self-deception words to deceive others?

"I'm all my sisters. I'm happy if they are all right, so I don't complain!" Xu Shu's face was filled with a faint smile. The loss just now seemed to be just Xu Jing's illusion.

"Besides, even if you are not a Ten Girl, you will be someone else. Instead of being a good deal for outsiders, it is better to give your sister a favor, right?"

Li thought so much, so he had to plan which daughter to go to Xu Shu's marriage. They were all family members, all of them were part of the Xu family, and they were all for the Xu family...

"It's all for the seventh brother!" Xu Jing sneered, "For the seventh brother, the marriage with Duke Rong's mansion cannot be ruined. For the seventh brother, I would rather be a widow than a divorce!"

Which of the daughters of a widowed chaste and vicious woman and a daughter who divorced and returned home with her husband, will make the Xu family's face shine? Li understands more than anyone else!

"Mother has suffered too much..." Xu Shu lowered her head, feeling unbearable, helpless, and forbearable in her voice...

Li had no son in his early years, and had many regrets and grievances. Xu Jing felt it with Li when she was in the boudoir. So she understood Li's preference and recognized him. However, she gave in step by step, but Li sacrificed his daughters' interests and paved the way for his son. Xu Jing couldn't bear it anymore.

"Who has never suffered? But this cannot be the reason for her to exploit me! I still remember the winter when I was seven years old. It was very cold that year. The lake and river were covered with thick ice, and fish could not be caught, so the fish was very expensive that year, and the market was priceless. My family finally bought a basket. My mother said that I would make fish soup to eat at night. I was so happy that I waited all day, but at night, my uncle's cousin came and my mother kept him for dinner! Men and women were seven years old, so my mother asked me to eat alone in the house. I was happy to wait for the fish soup, but

I didn't see it after a meal. I thought there were few fish and there was not enough share, so Chunhuiyuan had no food. It was not until my cousin left that I realized that it was not that Chunhuiyuan had no fish soup, but that I didn't have fish soup. Not only did my cousin eat the fish soup, but I also took two fish away before leaving. I cried and snatched me, but my mother slapped me. I fell in the snow, but my mother held my cousin's hand without looking back and told him to be careful of his feet. I can't forget that slap. I'm just because I'm a girl, should I be inferior? Should I give everything I have for my brothers?"

So many years have passed, and when it comes to this, Xu Jing is still very excited, and tears flow down her cheeks, "I never expect her to think about me, so I have never thought about Heli. Instead of going home to see her face, I would rather be a widow!"
