Shangguan Shu tightened the reins and looked at the girl in front of him with a frown.
Why does it look familiar?
Oh... Shangguan Shu suddenly realized that it was his boss's sweetheart, the woman named Zhai Jingxuan!
It turns out she is not dead!
"Zhai Jingxuan" was still waving and calling daddy.
Shangguan Shu felt a little strange. He hadn't even entered the door yet and he was already calling Daddy. Wasn't he being too familiar?
But the words that "Zhai Jingxuan" said next made him stand there in shock.
"Dad, I am sincere and respectful! If you don't believe me, I..."
Half an hour later, at the posthouse.
Shangguan Shu looked at "Zhai Jingxuan" who had just finished washing, changed into clean clothes, and was eating voraciously. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pat his good son's back, but suddenly remembered that he was a girl now, so he retracted his hand and said, "Sincerely respect you...eat slowly." He was afraid that he would choke.
"Zhai Jingxuan" didn't expect to be reunited with her biological father so easily. It's surprising that her father believed such a ridiculous thing as soul swapping so easily...
Then wouldn't he have suffered in vain?
"Zhai Jingxuan" finally saw her relatives, and she couldn't hold back the grievances in her heart. She chewed her food and spoke with tears in her eyes, disregarding the etiquette she had followed since childhood.
"Dad, you don't know how miserable I am!"
"Zhai Jingxuan" cried.
It turned out that after he fell from Wangfeng Mountain, an ox cart full of straw happened to pass by at the foot of the mountain, and he happened to fall into the straw. He then fell unconscious and was taken out of the capital by the ox cart. So Shangguan Shu sent people to look for him for a long time but couldn't find him.
Later, after several twists and turns, when he regained consciousness, he had already arrived in Lingnan on an ox cart.
However, under the straw was a pile of tea bricks, leaving just enough of a gap for "Zhai Jingxuan" to fall into.
The ox cart avoided checkpoints along the way and was delivered to a wealthy family in Lingnan. When unloading the cart, "Zhai Jingxuan" was discovered and then rescued.
As soon as he woke up, he saw the master and mistress of the wealthy family. They were very kind and gentle. Seeing that he was talking to himself, they asked them to send him back to the capital. Instead of despising him, they treated his injuries, gave him silver, and let him return to the capital on the transport vehicle from the mansion.
Everything was going smoothly, but something went wrong just as he was about to leave.
He met Shangguan Qing'er.
He was surprised and happy, but then his heart sank. Why was Qing'er here? He suddenly realized something and felt a little uncomfortable and angry.
Shangguan Qing'er didn't see him, and he wanted to go forward to recognize her, but was stopped by a servant in the mansion. The servant told him that Miss Er was sent to the mansion half a month ago. It was said that she came from the capital, and the wealthy family didn't want to keep her, so they sent her here.
He immediately gritted his teeth and felt sorry for Shangguan Qing'er in his heart. If his mother really had Yue'er, she would not want Qing'er anymore!
The servant also said that Miss Er was crying and making a fuss about wanting to go home. She was extremely unruly and vicious. She had never seen such a bad child. She advised her to stay away from her to avoid suffering any unnecessary harm.
He sneered in his heart. Qing'er was the most well-behaved and sensible person. How could she be as bad as she said? Even if she had done something inappropriate, it was because she was suddenly sent away from her family, so she was naturally resentful.
He secretly made up his mind to take Shangguan Qing'er home with him.
Although Yue'er's wishes were repeatedly answered, he believed that man could conquer nature. As long as he worked hard, he could turn his future misfortunes around. Qing'er was a kind child. Why did his family hate her so much? Just because she had enjoyed everything Yue'er had?
She didn't mean it.
Perhaps Qing'er's miserable future was caused by her family abandoning her.
He was very sure that he could save everything!
So the next day, he did not follow the cavalry, but stayed behind, waiting for the opportunity to recognize Shangguan Qing'er. Finally, one day, she was left alone.
She found a dog hole to hide in at night, as if she wanted to escape, but was stopped by him.
"Qing'er, I'm your big brother!"
"Qing'er! Brother will take you home!"
"No, you're not my big brother, you're the ugly one in his painting! So you're here... It's because of you that big brother doesn't love me anymore!"
Before he could react to Shangguan Qing'er's words, the servants in the mansion discovered them.
Immediately afterwards, he met Shangguan Qing'er for the first time.
"Daddy and Mommy, it's her! She's the one who wants to kidnap me! Er'er is so scared..."
He was so shocked he couldn't speak. He was held captive by a group of servants and forced to kneel on the ground. The master and his wife looked at her with pity. His wife even whispered, "Is she worth kidnapping?"
Yes, is it worth it for a skinny little black monkey with a huge scar on its face?
The master wanted to report her to the police, but he couldn't bear it and drove him out of the house.
He walked in the street in a trance, his heart was in turmoil. Subconsciously, he didn't want to think badly of Shangguan Qing'er, because rejecting her was rejecting himself. He once felt that everyone in the world was drunk and he was the only one sober. He also had pride!
Although these don't make any sense...
He was wrong, and his father, mother, brothers and sisters would just laugh at him and not blame him.
But he had a vague expectation that something might have happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion when he was away, which caused Qing'er to become like this... Then, he was hit with a club, and he lost all consciousness.
When he woke up, he saw Shangguan Qing'er again. She and a group of servants looked at him viciously and began to whip him with a whip dipped in salt water.
Seeing him screaming in pain on the ground, she actually giggled uncontrollably.
At first, he would beg for mercy and tell her that he was Shangguan Chengjing, but when his name was mentioned, she hated him even more.
"How dare you mention my elder brother? It's all your fault..." She burst into tears, "Why didn't mother want me anymore? What's so good about Shangguan Qingyue? You and she are both bitches. If it weren't for her, my grandmother wouldn't have died..."
boom!
He lay on the ground, being whipped, but an old face suddenly flashed through his mind.
Once upon a time, Shangguan Qing'er pushed Yue'er into the water.
He felt that his mother doted on Yue'er too much and no longer knew right from wrong. Qing'er clearly told him that it was Yue'er who pushed her, but no one believed it!
An old woman in the mansion told him clearly that Yue'er bullied her from time to time. Although Yue'er mostly slept when she got home, he almost never saw her leave the yard. The old woman also said that because of Yue'er, Wan'er and Bai Lin often bullied Qing'er to vent their anger for their own sister.
The old woman said that she had heard how unruly and willful Shangguan Qingyue was when she was outside. He frowned as he listened, and thought to himself that he must teach her well in the future.
When Yue'er and Qing'er fell into the water together, it wasn't that he didn't save her, it was that he didn't see her at all!
It was not until Shangguan Qing'er was rescued that he saw her suddenly emerge from the water and struggle to swim upstream.
It turns out that she can swim... He suddenly remembered that the family that adopted her lived next to the sea, so she should be able to swim.
She was rescued by her servants halfway through her swim. Perhaps she had exhausted all her strength trying to survive, and her small body went limp once she reached the shore.
Shangguan Qing'er cried and said, "Big brother, don't blame her..."
