”Hanxi, what are you thinking about?” The Xiaowan saw that she was dumbfounded and asked, ”Do you miss your mother again? However, I also miss my Little Pei. I regret not bringing him along, but it was so arduous bringing him here, even I am reluctant to part with him. ”

Hanxi had something on her mind. She didn't know if she could tell Xiaowan, but she smiled and said: ”Little Pei must also be thinking of sister-in-law. When we return home, you must love him well.”

Xiaowan held the wild fruit and said, ”This sour and sweet fruit is his favorite.”

Hanxi wanted to change the topic so that she could calm down a little, so he asked: ”Sister-in-law, can you tell me the story of you and Manager Ling?

”Do you want to hear it? But I'm sorry.” Xiaowan laughed, blushing.

Together, they fed the gathered fruit to the soldiers who protected them, then sat in the sun's rays, warm and just right, and began to tell their stories as they ate the fruit.

Hanxi listened to the experiences of the Xiaowan in shock. She could not imagine that such a sweet and gentle young lady that was filled with youthful enthusiasm would have such a tragic experience. It was not just for a moment, but more than ten years, a whole decade.

She subconsciously pulled up Xiaowan's arm and raised her sleeve. On her pure white and slender arm, there were indeed a few wounds that had not been healed yet, and they were plastered across her skin. One could imagine that they had once torn her skin, and had once been badly mutilated …

”Sister-in-law, how did you survive?” Hanxi's heart softened as hot tears welled up in her eyes due to the discomfort.

”Don't cry, I'm fine now.” Xiaowan laughed, ”Thinking back, I also felt that it was inconceivable. Actually, at that time, I didn't want to live, but if I didn't die, I didn't dare to seek death.”

She laughed and said: ”Because I will always think, maybe tomorrow will be fine. Maybe tomorrow my stepmother will die, so it isn't worth it for me to die first then, is it? However, people can change. If you push me back into that life now, my heart will grow big, but it should be a good thing. ”

”These days, I always felt that there was no one in this world who was more miserable than me. It was because I was being too hypocritical.” Hanxi said, ”Sister-in-law, I also want to be as cold-blooded and heartless as my father, then I won't feel pain, or be as upright and upright as my brother, but I can't do it either.”

The Xiaowan advised: ”This is not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong.”

In my eyes, she was gentle and virtuous. Even if I could tell that Grandma didn't really like her, she had always been very filial to Grandma, doted on me and Big Brother, and took good care of our family. It was only until the appearance of Brother Xingye that her entire being changed. ”

”Hanxi...”

”In the eyes of others, I must be extremely annoyed. I'm always crying, always pestering my mother about my mother's matters. Everyone in the capital is laughing at me, and all the servants in my family are getting impatient.”

Hanxi lowered her head and wrapped his fingers around her belt, tying them until they became purple. She did not cry but instead asked firmly, ”But like what you said, sister-in-law, you lived once so that you would not get beaten up. In my past life, my parents and family were my entire family. ”My mother deserved to do something wrong. I know, but sister-in-law, I want to save her. I want to take care of her and serve her. Is that really wrong?”

The Xiaowan shook her head, hugged Hanxi, and caressed her back: ”Don't be sad, when General Wei is done with the things here, he will send you to the Siping Mansion, and you will be able to always be together with Madam. I heard from my husband that our current Siping Mansion is neither poor nor bitter, and we can eat our fill there. ”

”Sister-in-law …” As matters stood, even though the person beside him had only known him for two days, who among his close friends and relatives could accompany him. Hanxi steeled his heart and trusted Xiaowan, ”I want to return to the capital now.”

”Return to the capital?”

Hanxi's expression was agitated as she nodded: ”That blue-eyed prince, the news spread throughout the capital, saying that he travelled thousands of miles to come here for the sake of marriage. Then, I will ask the Emperor to pardon my mother. I won't need to restore her title, and I won't need to bring her back to the capital either. Even if I have to stay in the Siping Mansion, as long as I don't serve any more sentences and don't work hard, what do you think? ”

Xiaowan was startled, and said with difficulty: ”Hanxi, do you know where the Xiluo is? Hubby said that if you marry someone far away, you will never be able to come back.”

However, Hanxi smiled and said, ”But that way, my mother won't have to suffer.”

Xiaowan shook her head. ”Mrs. Bi will feel guilty for the rest of her life, if she falls sick because of missing you, the two of you will not even know that you are separated by five hundred kilometers. In my opinion, it would be better if they came now. Even if it was a bit more difficult, they could still meet each other, and they could still depend on each other. If I were you, I would rather watch my mother suffer every day, than never to see her again in my entire life. ”
