Yi Xin as a concubine

The open space, without the fear of a hand reaching out from the bushes at any time, made her feel much more relaxed. She touched her sweaty forehead, and the result was~

"Hey, it's so dirty!" Her hands were covered in dust, and she had just wiped her face.

Xin Baoer despised herself for a minute, then leaned against the edge of the pavilion with a handkerchief in hand. She wanted to wipe her face with the handkerchief dipped in water, but her arms were a little short and she couldn't reach it. After almost falling down after another attempt, she sat back down obediently.

He picked up a dry towel and wiped his face roughly in a fit of anger. Maybe his movements were a little too big, and when he put his arms down, two envelopes fell out of his sleeves.

Xin Baoer then remembered that she had forgotten to read the letter she brought back from the Xin family. She was now thankful that it had not fallen out when she was running away, otherwise she would probably not have been able to find it.

He rubbed his hands on the handkerchief randomly, then picked up the envelope and squeezed it. Hmm, it's a bit thick. How many sheets of paper are in it?

Driven by curiosity, he roughly tore open the first letter. When he flipped his arm, a stack of letter papers fell out. Xin Baoer frowned and muttered in a strange tone: "No wonder we didn't talk about it when we met. There is no end to it!"

While it was still light, Xin Baoer read the letters one after another. After she had finished reading more than a dozen letters, she felt her eyes hurt.

There were twelve letters, two of which were suicide notes her mother left for her and the eldest master of the Xin family, and the other ten were love letters from her step-father and mother. When she read the first letter, she found that these letters should have a context, so she sorted them out before starting to read.

They are indeed a combination of talented men and beautiful women. The love poems they wrote were restrained and the love words they said were low-key and elegant. She felt that in front of this cheap pair of parents, her more than ten years of academic career was like that of an illiterate person.

Xin Baoer pieced together the general idea of ​​the story by guessing.

The story is actually unremarkable. The boy and girl have almost the same family backgrounds, have been engaged since childhood, have been childhood sweethearts, and have surprisingly similar interests and hobbies. The two of them have been competing with each other all the way, making progress together, and in the end both won the first place among all the young men and women in Shengjing City. They were the two most popular people at the time.

Originally, as long as they waited until the age was right, they could get married and become a perfect match.

However, fame always brings troubles. Both Qin Lirou and Lin Zhou are talented and beautiful, which naturally attracts countless admirers. Lin Zhou is okay since he is a man after all, but Qin Lirou, as the most beautiful and talented woman, is more likely to be schemed against.

That was the time when Emperor Ning was causing the most trouble. The Qin family and the Lin family were both top families at the pinnacle of power. Because of their marriage relationship, they had always been a united front and advanced and retreated together.

At that time, General Ning wanted to separate the two families, so he set his sights on Qin Lirou. He joined forces with foreign enemies to put pressure on the then Emperor Chu to marry Qin Lirou to the enemy country in order to quell the impending war in the western border.

As royalists, the Lin and Qin families would naturally be on guard against border guards who were too successful to be trusted, so they received the news in advance. However, time and circumstances did not allow them to hold a grand wedding, so they had no choice but to have a low-key wedding. They agreed to hold a grand wedding after the situation eased.

Sadly, 'plans cannot keep up with changes'. Emperor Ning's strong rebellion disrupted all their plans. However, because of that low-key wedding, Xin Baoer, the only bloodline of the Lin and Qin families, was left behind.

Qin Lirou's letter to Xin Baoer was simple, just asking her to live well. On the contrary, the letter to Master Xin was full of gratitude and entrusting him with his care.

As for how she escaped and how she was rescued by the eldest master of the Xin family, there was no explanation, but Xin Baoer could probably imagine the difficulty involved. She couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her adoptive mother whom she had never met.

An ancient woman still had the courage to live on her own after her husband's family and her mother's clan were all exterminated, and at that time she didn't even know that she was pregnant.

What made Xin Baoer admire her even more was yet to come.

Xin Baoer put down the first letter and opened the second letter without hesitation. After a series of "crackling" sounds, several things fell from the envelope onto the table.

A small seal, a men's ring, and a golden token.

Xin Baoer picked them up one by one and studied them. She turned them over and over but couldn't make sense of them. So she put them on the table and ignored them. Then she picked up the letter and started reading it.

This letter was written by Master Xin. It said that her grandfather was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and her maternal grandfather was the grand secretary of the previous dynasty. They were both truly wealthy and aristocratic people.

The ancestors of the Xin family were ordinary people who made a living by digging in the soil. Later, the old man of the Xin family started a small business. When the eldest master Xin came of age and gradually showed his talent for business, the family gradually became stronger. However, he had no background, no identity, and low education. He was constantly framed and pressured. Once, he was almost destroyed by the enemy. In the end, he was saved by Prime Minister Lin who was away on business. However, Prime Minister Lin at that time was not Prime Minister Lin.

Since then, their family has had a backer. Prime Minister Lin can be said to have saved the Xin family, protected them, and given them a chance to meet their needs. Because of Prime Minister Lin, their family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and their lives have become more and more prosperous.

The most valuable thing is that Prime Minister Lin and his family never asked for anything in return from them, and they would give corresponding gifts in return for the things they sent during the New Year and other festivals, and the gifts would even be 10% to 20% heavier than what they sent before.

Because they remembered the fear of being on the verge of death, the Xin family also passed on the gratitude to the Lin family.

When the Lin family was destroyed, several masters of the Xin family were not at home. When they came back and learned about the situation, they only had time to secretly bury the bodies of the two families, and even dared to hide the tablets for offerings in a dark room.

The Xin family regretted this for a long time, and only found a little comfort after rescuing Qin Lirou.

In addition to explaining Xin Baoer's life experience and the relationship between the Xin and Lin families, the letter also informed the relationship between the Xin family and the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Master Xin and the prince of the previous dynasty were close friends. They had similar personalities and could be considered friends regardless of age difference. Later, it was the Xin family who took the initiative to contact Chu Xingchen. On the one hand, it was to fulfill their friendship, and on the other hand, it was also to avenge the Lin family.

At the end of the letter, Master Xin solemnly explained the origins of several tokens.

The seal was the patron token of her maternal grandfather's family, and the ring was the patron token of her grandfather's family. The two had the same function, and could command all the remaining forces of the Qin and Lin families.

The largest golden token is the patriarch token of the Xin family. Master Xin wants to use this token to reassure Xin Baoer and tell her that no matter where she is, the Xin family will always be her backing and support.

Master Xin did not make any decisions for her. Instead, he told her everything in detail and put all the cards in her hands. As for how to use these things in the future, or whether to use them at all, it was up to her to decide.

Xin Baoer was really shocked by these things.

It’s like when you’re playing a game and a newbie accidentally gets a boss’s account. The equipment and skills are all perfect, but only you know that you can’t even unleash one tenth of its power.

It feels like a waste of resources!

She suddenly wanted to ask that cheap old man, "Do you have any misunderstandings about your child?"

Both the original owner and she were still underage children. How could she be so confident that she could turn the world upside down and plan a strategy?

At this moment, Xin Baoer really didn't know whether she should be touched by the Xin family's love and protection for her, or should she blame them for throwing such a big hot potato to her.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but Xin Baoer was still in a daze, completely forgetting where she was.

But the compound was already in chaos.

The sky gradually darkened. Lancao and Mother Lin planned to say something to their daughter and then go to the kitchen to help cook dinner, but Zhao Xian told them that no one was there.

"Isn't Bao'er with you? She went out in the afternoon, saying she was delivering clothes to the lady, and then she didn't come back. I thought she went to look for you."

"No! We said we wanted to go with her, but she was afraid that the lady would misunderstand, so she didn't let us go. We also thought she went back to her room after sending her off."

Mother Lin was so anxious that her tone was almost tearful.

"What's wrong? Where's your girl? I have something to talk to her about."

Just as they were getting anxious, Wangchuan's voice suddenly interrupted them, which gave them hope.

"Guard Wangchuan, our master is missing." Mother Lin grabbed Wangchuan's sleeve and hurriedly told him how Xin Baoer disappeared.

Wangchuan did not dare to delay and hurried back to report to his master, while praying silently in his heart that this matter must not have anything to do with the Madam, and that nothing must happen to the Eighth Girl, otherwise a world war would break out.
