Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

The old woman shook her head at Feng, who smiled and shouted at Li Yuening's back, "Fortunately it was a false alarm. Sister Ning, go to bed early. Your aunt will welcome you another day."

"Thank you, aunt. I said that it is impossible for such a big Xie Mansion to attract bad guys just because of an orphan like me. Fortunately, you are here, aunt." Li Yuening said weakly without turning her head, but her voice could be heard by everyone present.

A weak and helpless orphan girl VS the mistress of Xie's mansion. Feng is somewhat suspected of being a scapegoat and bullying others by taking advantage of her power.

Feng withdrew her gaze from the tightly closed door. She underestimated her, and then glared at the old woman who was searching, "Didn't you say that you would go to Luozhi Garden when you saw someone? How could you go up and down in such a small place?"

The old woman was trembling with fear. "My son did see someone enter the yard before reporting back. Could it be that the person left again during the time he was talking?"

Feng's wet nurse, Feng Ma, whispered, "Don't be upset, Madam. You know that the thief is hard to deal with. We know they have a connection but we are afraid we can't catch them. We have a long way to go."

"Hmph, I feel unhappy when I see that face of his. If that little bitch was still alive, what would happen to me? Fortunately, she is dead..." Feng's gloating voice gradually faded away.

Li Yuening sensed with her spiritual power that they were going away, so she sent the maids out and slipped into the space.

Xie Shi was so shocked after reading the space that his mouth couldn't close. When he saw Li Yuening suddenly appear, he ran over in surprise, "Madam, did the Madam embarrass you?"

Li Yuening shook her head. "Aren't you Uncle Xie's son? Why do you call Madam 'Madam'?"

Xie Shi was a little embarrassed, but still talked about the past, "My mother used to be an honest official in Chungui Tower. She was accidentally redeemed by the eldest lady Feng and stayed with Master Xie, my father, to help her consolidate her favor.

At that time, the eldest lady had been married into the Xie family for three years and had no children. Every time my father went on a business trip, he would bring back a concubine, most of whom were given by his peers. The eldest lady was afraid that someone else would give birth to her eldest son before her.

He redeemed my mother and placed her by my father's side as a concubine. My mother was very beautiful and came from Chunguilou. She would rather serve my father than serve a group of people.

It can help the Madam to keep her favor without worrying about my mother getting pregnant. The ladies of Chungui Tower have lost their fertility since childhood due to various drugs, and it has been like this until the Madam gave birth to my brother. "

Li Yuening didn't expect Xie Shi's biological mother to have such a past. "What happened next? How did your mother give birth to you?"

Xie Shi looked away, "With my eldest brother, the eldest lady has established a firm foothold in the Xie Mansion. Even if the second aunt who came into the family later than her gave birth to a second grandson who was younger than my eldest brother, it would not have any impact at all."

No matter in which era, the eldest son or the heir has natural advantages over other children, and Feng was the first to seize the opportunity.

"With the eldest son by her side, the eldest lady began to deal with the women in my father's backyard, especially those who were favored like my mother.

What surprised the eldest lady was that my mother was three months pregnant at that time, and she became pregnant when she was accompanying my father on a business trip.

I was left behind like this, but unfortunately my mother was unlucky and passed away before I was a month old." Xie Shi took out a jade pendant with a red string from his lapel and stroked it: "This is the only thought my mother left me. When I was a child, I saw my father, the eldest lady and Xie Zhan's family having fun together. Xie Zhan rode on my father's neck and laughed so happily. I was very envious.

I thought that as long as I could please the Madam, my father would like me, so I called her "Mom". I didn't expect that my life would never be easy from then on. "

Perhaps thinking of the unhappy things that happened in his childhood, Xie Shi’s blue eyes were as deep as the sea.

This was a sign of being possessed by a demon. Li Yuening quickly held Xie Shi's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, it will all pass." The warm palm gave him strength.

"Xie Shi, holding on to old pain is giving power to those who hurt you, allowing them to continue to hurt you and control you.

When you let go of all this, they can no longer hurt you or attack you.

Never think that letting go means forgiving them. You are not pardoning their mistakes. You are doing this not for others, but for yourself.

Learn to love yourself when no one loves you, and give yourself enough trust and freedom. "Li Yuening called Xie Shi's name for the first time. It turned out that his name sounded so good when she called it out, and it was no longer lowly.

Xie Shi's name comes from the life that was saved by the lady because of her generosity. Xie Shi took the pseudonym Xie Jian for this reason. He must always remember the contempt shown to him by those people and "repay" them doubly in the future.

But Li Yuening's words today made Xie Shi feel that instead of sinking with them, it would be better to love himself seriously. He never had those vague and illusory loves, so what's wrong with giving them up?

"The fact that I can meet you is probably the result of the merits that Xie Shi accumulated in his previous life, and it is also the result of the luck that Xie Shi accumulated in this life."

Li Yuening did not comment, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Li Yuening cleverly changed the subject, "My dear, aren't you curious about me?"

Of course Xie Shi was curious, extremely curious, but he didn't dare to ask.

Li Yuening looked into the distance and said slowly: "After I received the news of my father's death, I fell ill. During that half month, I felt like my soul traveled through time and space to a strange place. It can be called the end of the world. The population is sparse, and I have to compete with monsters that look like humans for resources all day long.

Unfortunately, during a resource grab, I was pushed into a group of monsters by my companions and died. "

Xie Shi's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone, and it hurt so much.

Li Yuening continued slowly, "After my death, I returned to my original form 10 years later. I became a wife of the Xie family. I followed the rules and regulations, visited my mother-in-law every morning and evening, and took care of her daily life. I became a widow with gray hair at a young age."

Xie Shi couldn't hold back any longer, and gently put his arm around Li Yuening's shoulders and let her lean on his chest. He had already guessed the ending.

“It was Xie Zhan, he married me but didn’t treat me well.

It was also the fault of the branch clan. When Grandpa Xie received the news, he did not expect the main family to be so cruel. He blamed himself for not protecting his children and grandchildren. He died in less than a month due to the blood and qi attack.

Xie Zhan had a sweetheart who was the wife of a high-ranking official in Yecheng. She faked her own death on the wedding night and later rose all the way to become a sixth-rank official." Li Yuening quietly explained everything that had happened in her previous life. Xie Shi felt sorry for Li Yuening and had an unprecedented hatred for Xie Zhan.

"The reason I know all this is because you asked someone to tell me ten years later. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life."

"Me?" Xie Shi was surprised. With his personality, he would not do such a thankless task.

Li Yuening chuckled and stepped out of his arms. "Yes, it's a pity that I don't know the reason why you did this. If this matter is exposed, Xie Zhan will be guilty of deceiving the emperor, and the second branch of the Xie family will inevitably be implicated. I guess you have already left the Xie family at that time."
