Chapter 704 Life Story
The woman sobbed and tears streamed down her face. She seemed to want to say something, but because she was so emotional, she couldn't speak for a while.
She seemed to remember a lot of things at once.
Xiao Yueyao looked at the woman and her heart was moved.
Could it be from their Xiao family?
Is she father's sister?
I remember my father said that when the Xiao family got into trouble, the Xiao family members were hunted down and exiled, and all the other members of the Xiao family were killed.
One of her aunts was fine because she got married early, but because of the incident in the Xiao family, that aunt fell ill and passed away early.
That person is Shangguan Kang's mother.
There is no more clue about the other members of the Xiao family.
Xiao Yueyao looked at the woman carefully, but was not sure who she was.
Seeing that the woman was so excited that she almost fainted, Xiao Yueyao hurriedly took out a silver needle and gave her a few pricks.
"Auntie, let's sit down and talk!"
Luo He realized something and hurried into the house to pour water.
Of course, Xiao Yi put the person on the wooden bed in the house and guarded him.
Dabao and Erbao got off the carriage obediently, followed Xiao Yueyao, and remained silent.
Although the two little guys are only five years old, they understand all the principles they should understand because of the good enlightenment of Su Xueyi and Xiao Yueyao.
They blinked their big eyes, and although they were curious, they didn't say anything.
Luo He treated Dabao and Erbao very attentively. He brought stools for them, took out the white sugar used for the New Year at home, and made sugar water for Dabao and Erbao to drink.
In fact, Dabao and Erbao don’t like to drink sugary water very much.
But they had been to the village before, so they naturally understood that this kind of sweet soup was the best thing the villagers could come up with.
People usually don’t want to drink it and save it for the Chinese New Year.
Dabao and Erbao said obediently: "Thank you, sister."
They know that if they call people younger, everyone will be happy.
Luo He looked at Dabao and Erbao and thought they were both very good-looking.
They are prettier than the dolls in New Year pictures.
The woman was immersed in her thoughts and didn't pay attention to these things.
Xiao Yueyao said: "To be honest with you, I am from the capital. My father's surname is Xiao, and my surname is Xiao.
When the woman heard this, she became even more excited.
She looked at Xiao Yueyao carefully, and seemed to see something vaguely, and said with tears in her eyes: "Like, like!"
She calmed down a bit and choked up, saying, "I'm from the capital too. I'm from the Xiao family, or the Marquis' Mansion. My father is Xiao Ren, the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. My name is Xiao Ping..."
Xiao Ping recounted some things from the past.
It turns out that Xiao Ping's father was a servant of the Xiao family, and Xiao Ping's mother was her father's wet nurse.
After the incident at the Marquis' Mansion, all the members of the Xiao family were convicted and exiled.
Many people died on the road. Xiao Ping survived by twists and turns, and escaped all the way, being hunted by various people.
At that time, someone seemed unwilling to let the Xiao family go. She fell into the river while being chased and was later rescued by people from Luojia Village.
The person who rescued her was Luo Wu, the son of the village chief of Luojia Village.
Luo Wu is a righteous man and is loyal, and he treats her well.
Nor does he mind her unknown origins.
At that time, the late emperor was on the throne, and she didn't dare go anywhere. She just wanted to survive.
Later, the old village chief died, and Luo Wu succeeded him as the village chief and managed Luojia Village.
Luo Chuan and Luo He are their son and daughter.
Luo He can embroider some things, and she was the one who taught her.
It's just that her hand was injured at that time. The Xiao family was convicted before, and their hands were tortured in prison, so her hands could not do heavy work or delicate work.
It was only when her daughter was older that she taught her to embroider these.
When the previous emperor was in power, Xiao Ping did not dare to teach, for fear of being recognized and bringing danger to Luojia Village.
Fortunately, the current emperor is in power.
It was only in the past two or three years that she started teaching her daughter to embroider some things so that she could earn some money to supplement the family income.
At this time, Luo Wu went to work in the fields, so they didn't meet him.
Before, Xiao Ping also went to work in the fields, but he would faint from time to time and even fell ill.
That's why Luo Chuan had to work as a long-term worker in the Du Mansion.
He went there without telling his family.
Otherwise, Xiao Ping would never let her go.
Xiao Ping talked a lot.
Xiao Yueyao only then realized that during the power struggle, the Xiao family was also a suppressed force.
"Those men in black came to kill the Xiao family and were extremely ruthless."
Xiao Yueyao understood, that's why her parents would rather live in hiding in Xinghua Village than reveal their identities.
The situation in the court was very serious in the past. There were fierce party struggles and wars, and the Ministry of Revenue spent a lot of money.
It was also because of the fierce fighting at that time that the national treasury is still empty.
The emperor had to take the entire Great Yan Dynasty to recuperate first.
"Because some people are still afraid that the Xiao family will rise again, afraid that the then young Marquis Xiao is still alive, and afraid that he will come back with military power."
After her father regained his status, she realized how famous the young Marquis Xiao was back then.
Because his father is not only good at martial arts, but also has stronger military combat command capabilities.
In addition, he holds military power, which makes people fear him. If he cannot be won over, he will naturally be eliminated.
Of course, her parents were also very courageous back then.
He can fake his death and live in anonymity at critical moments.
Normally, people who have lived a life of luxury would find it difficult to adapt when they come to the countryside to work on the farm.
But no matter how hard it was, her parents persevered.
I have been living in Xinghua Village.
But perhaps for my parents, the simple life in Xinghua Village is also good, simple and warm, without intrigue.
The villagers might just gossip a bit, but it won't be a big problem.
What the villagers care about every day is what they eat and the harvest of crops in the fields.
Care about the weather and whether it is good or not.
They care about buying New Year's goods and eating delicious food, whether it is face-saving to visit relatives, whether they are respected by others, and which family's children are filial and capable.
Most of them are concerned about these.
It’s not like when the situation in the capital was chaotic, where an entire family could be killed if they weren’t careful.
Xiao Ping said, "Yes, at that time, whenever the young marquis's master rode through the capital, it would cause a sensation."
"There are many women chasing after the master, but the master only has Princess Yan Ning in his heart."
Her mother is the master's wet nurse, and she can see through some things.
Xiao Yueyao thought for a moment and asked carefully, "Your parents..."
Xiao Ping knew what this question meant. Her eyes reddened as she said, "On the way to exile, they were killed to protect me."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ping's voice became even more choked.
So no matter what, she wants to live well.
Xiao Yueyao knew many people in the Xiao family mansion back then.
Her father also wrote a list, wanting her to help find out if anyone was still alive.
Unfortunately, very few people from the Xiao family were alive. Only a few of them were found by people arranged by the emperor and sent back to the Xiao Mansion.
It was also to prevent his father from feeling uncomfortable when he returned to live in the mansion.
There were quite a few people in the Xiao Mansion before.
