After the male owner left Beijing, Xie An Ning was the only owner left in the Wang family's main house, which was already deserted.
Now that her daughter is gone, she has nothing to worry about.
People live by breathing, and her breath was completely gone with the death of her daughter.
It’s not that I want to commit suicide.
It’s just that I feel bored with everything and have no interest in it.
In this world, there is no one or anything that can move her heart.
In the past, for fear of being accused of being unfilial, Xie Anning would visit his parents every morning and evening without fail.
And now, she never went to the main courtyard again.
I felt so tired that I didn't want to talk or move. I just wanted to lie down forever.
When Wang Shaofu was around, he would watch her take medicine and eat every day, and would even take her out for a walk from time to time, which annoyed Xie Anning very much.
Now, no one can control her anymore.
I lay there until noon, when Peirong came in.
The woman who had been with Xie Anning for half her life, holding a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, urged with red eyes, "Madam, please have some food."
When Wang Shaofu left, he left behind a few close confidants. Xie Anning knew that if he didn't eat or drink, he would probably get the news in a few days and return to Beijing.
I swallowed two mouthfuls of porridge with great difficulty and couldn't eat any more.
She reached out and pushed the bowl away, saying, "Open the bottom drawer on the right side of the dressing table and help me get the wooden box."
Peirong did as she was told.
The wooden box was half a arm's length and not heavy, with two locks on the outside.
As a confidant, Peirong certainly knew what was inside.
When the general's only daughter got married, she naturally had everything she needed as a dowry. The wooden box contained the indentures of the servants.
Xie An Ning opened the lock and took out Peirong's family's deeds from a thick stack of deeds.
Peirong married the manager of the outer courtyard and had two sons and a daughter. Both husband and wife were from the Xie family.
During the more than ten years of being exiled with Wang Shaofu, both of them, both inside and outside, shared a lot of worries with Xie An Ning.
After returning to Beijing, she planned to release their family's indentures and let them move out to live on their own, but Peirong firmly refused.
This is why it has been delayed until now.
Xie Anning said, "I've wanted to give it to you for a long time, but you were stubborn. Now listen to me. Take it... This..."
Peirong fell to her knees with a thud, "Madam, please don't chase me away."
"Who drove you away?"
Xie An Ning smiled weakly, "Didn't you hear what the master said? He will resign after he returns to the capital. When the two of us leave the capital, it will be difficult to take your family with you. Be obedient, hold on to your indentures, and don't make things difficult for me."
Peirong shook her head repeatedly, "I am stupid and cannot guess what your plan is, but I know you want to abandon me. I will never leave you even a step."
Xie Anning said, "My words are useless, right?"
Peirong knelt for a long time and refused to agree.
"...In that case, then you can do one last thing for me," Xie An Ning closed his eyes, "If you still consider me your master, please don't let me die with regrets."
The master and servant were lying down and kneeling, both with red eyes.
On that day, the eldest wife's main courtyard sent a group of older maids out of the house.
Logically speaking, these dowry slaves have spent most of their lives as loyal and obedient confidants.
The children they have are also family-born children whose backgrounds are well known to them.
It would be fine to show mercy and let one or two people go, but it is absolutely impossible to let a group of them leave the palace at once.
When the news reached Old Lady Wang's ears, she was naturally puzzled.
She called Wang Er and asked him the reason.
Wang Er was the attendant assigned by Old Lady Wang to serve her son, because she wanted her son to have someone close to him.
But after following Wang Shaofu for a year, Wang Er was not trusted much and only walked in the backyard.
A lot of the information is not accurate.
For example, Wang Shaofu might have planned to resign from his official position after the beginning of the year, abandoning his family and parents, and retiring to the city with his wife. He was not sure whether he would ever come back.
Therefore, I never reported it to Old Lady Wang.
When his master asked this question, Wang Er naturally made the connection.
Old Lady Wang listened as if she were listening to a mystery, and her face turned pale by the end.
"Bitch!"
She slammed the table and stood up. "How dare this bitch instigate my son to abandon his fame, wealth, his parents, and his family to go into seclusion with her!"
"Go and ask the master to come over!"
