"Mrs. Chen, hurry up, don't dawdle. I'm afraid Zhiliao is dying. If we don't send her away, she will just have to stay in our Xia family and she won't survive for more than a few days! The child's life is more important!"
A slightly old woman gave the order in a cold voice. Perhaps because she spoke so hastily, cold wind blew in, accompanied by a violent cough.
"Mom~ But I can't bear to leave!" The younger woman's voice was choked with sobs and a hint of pleading.
"Don't say buts. The child's life is more important. My granddaughter just needs to be alive! Jinjun's classmate is from a scholar family. They are not bad people. Zhiliao is living a good life. Go to the east end of the village and borrow a cart!"
"Mother~Mother...Ah..."
Xia Zhiliao slowly opened her eyes in the room, and with the help of the few rays of light in the dim little room, she looked around.
Chen?
Xia family?
Jinjun?
Isn’t this the name of the supporting character in the novel “The Queen’s Favorite, All Villains Must Die” that she read a little bit last night?
The reason why I read this book is because there is a minor character in the book whose name is exactly the same as hers, also called Xia Zhiliao. However, she did not appear in the book. It was just her crazy mother who murmured a name, saying that if she hadn't sent you away, you wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate.
So, she, the descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine who studied for twenty years and finally graduated with a doctorate from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, died so young?
Moreover, he was transformed into a cannon fodder with only a name in the book? And a three or four-year-old baby?
But the embarrassing thing was that because the book was not well written, she couldn't read it after the first few chapters and just casually flipped through the ending.
She only knew the people from the Xia family, and they were all villains.
Xia Zhiliao's father, Xia Jinjun, studied hard for ten years. Once he gained power, he was favored by the prime minister's daughter, who took her as his mistress and abandoned his first wife, Chen. He embezzled relief funds and was stoned to death by angry people after the incident.
After her mother was abandoned, she had always resented her mother-in-law for giving her daughter away, which led to the separation of mother and daughter. So she chopped the old lady into meat paste, ran away like a madman, and was bullied by others.
These great changes also caused the three brothers' personalities to change drastically. The eldest brother turned into a demon who killed people without blinking an eye. He was beheaded at Caishikou and no one collected his body.
The second brother became a rebel leader, but chose to surrender for the heroine, and was eventually executed by slow slicing.
The third brother became a sex maniac who played with women. He bullied countless women and lived a life of debauchery. Eventually, he got a serious illness and was left with only a bag of bones when he was in despair.
Her aunt, who was a concubine, plotted to murder the royal heir and was given poisoned wine by the male ruler who ascended the throne.
As for her other uncles, aunts, and cousins, they were all buried with her. It can be said that no one in this family had a good ending.
When Xia Zhiliao thought of this, he couldn't help but shiver.
This is fucking terrible. Even if she traveled back in time to before her original body died, she still couldn't escape the fate of death!
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xia Zhiliao moved, but he had no strength left in his body. It was even difficult for him to turn over. He opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was still alive, but no sound came out of his throat.
The door curtain moved, and a man came in. He was wearing a long green gown that had been washed so much that it looked white, with some ink stains on the sleeves, but it couldn't hide his handsome and elegant appearance.
There is only one scholar in the Xia family, and that is her father, Xia Jinjun.
【Daddy is so handsome! 】
Xia Jinjun was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked again, his expression surprised. His two sons didn’t come back, so the one calling him daddy was... his daughter?
But that’s not right. His daughter is three years old and has never spoken a word. She is also very sick and is almost dying. How could such a sweet voice come from?
Did he have hallucinations because he was reading till late last night?
Xia Jinjun looked at his daughter, who was lying on the kang with a pale face and a pair of big eyes like black grapes rolling around. The father and daughter's eyes met.
[My handsome daddy, I am your biological daughter, your sweetheart. If you send me away, no one will tell you, and your whole family will be in trouble.]
Xia Jinjun had been staring at his daughter, making sure she didn't open her mouth to speak, so what was that voice...
Could it be that the father and daughter are connected?
Although my daughter has difficulty expressing herself, she can understand my thoughts?
Xia Jinjun was overjoyed, but what was going on when his daughter said that the whole family would be in trouble?
Moreover, he remembered a street priest saying that if his daughter could speak, good days would come for the Xia family.
I wonder if this counts?
"Mom, mom, please come and take a look, the cicadas have woken up!" Xia Jinjun shouted loudly to the outside.
"What a joke! The child has had a fever for several days. How can she wake up without taking any medicine? Don't let it be a terminal bout of lucidity." Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xia hurried to get things done, fearing that she would not be able to see her granddaughter for the last time.
"Zhiliao, you have a miserable life. You have never spoken a word and have never eaten anything delicious. Sigh, at such a young age, you are my poor granddaughter! God, you are blind!"
Old Mrs. Xia walked into the house while wiping her tears.
Xia Zhiliao remembered that the old lady Xia in the novel was a very strong person who bullied her daughter-in-law, but she was a little surprised by what the old lady had just said.
【Grandma really loves me so much! 】
Old Mrs. Xia also glanced at her son, her face full of suspicion. She was not shocked that her granddaughter woke up, but she was shocked why she heard her mute granddaughter calling her grandma?
And he said he was good to her! He is a child with a conscience!
But that was not right, the child couldn't speak! She looked at him, and the child's mouth didn't move at all.
She looked at her son again, but there was no reaction. Could it be that she was the only one who could hear it?
It is true that grandparents and grandchildren are connected by heart!
But this matter is very scary, so she'd better not tell it, lest she be regarded as an old monster.
Xia Jinjun thought that his mother's reaction was that she saw her daughter woke up and felt that her daughter was close to her, and others might not be able to hear it. But it was obviously a good thing, so why was his daughter muttering that the whole family was going to be unlucky?
No, he had to get things straight.
"Mom, the cicada looks like it's healed now, so why don't you give it away?" Xia Jinjun begged.
Old Mrs. Xia naturally thought of what the old Taoist priest said. As the head of the family, she could hear her granddaughter talking, which meant that good days were coming. Moreover, seeing the girl's clear eyes and her big eyes blinking, it didn't seem like she was having a last burst of energy.
"No, I won't send it. If anyone wants to send it, I'll be angry with them." Old Mrs. Xia said decisively.
Just for the sake of the fact that her granddaughter was the only one who could hear her speak, she would keep her granddaughter even if it cost her her life.
Xia Jinjun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, are you home? I have found a good marriage for your Jinxiu. This kind of marriage is hard to find even with a lantern."
Old Mrs. Xia and Xia Jinjun, mother and son, looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.
Isn’t good news coming?
[It’s a lie, grandma, daddy, you can’t believe her, the matchmaker’s words are a lie! ]
[This man is a perverted old man who has lost seven wives. The one who came to see me today is his son pretending to be me. On the wedding day, the one who comes to marry me will be the old man.]
Old Mrs. Xia frowned. How dare someone lie to her daughter?
Is this true or false?
