Wealth and glory seek stability

"It's very sunny outside. I've already cleaned up your place. Let's go back."

Jian Xi pulled Caiyun and let her get into another sedan chair.

Caiyun wanted to say something, but Jian Xi interrupted her and said jokingly, "Don't worry about Manager Qi. He still has a lot of things to deal with at home. He will come to pick you up in a few days."

Caiyun looked at Lei Zi, wondering why Jian Xi knew about their affairs.

Seeing this, Lei Zi explained: "Just go back with the girl, I'll pick you up in a few days."

They have not yet married. If he takes Caiyun home, it will damage her reputation. If he lets Caiyun live alone, he will feel uneasy.

Fortunately, Jian Xi was considerate and thought of everything he could think of.

Caiyun was relieved. These were all Jian Xi's kindness. She was not a hypocritical person. She smiled gently and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister."

Jian Xi took Caiyun away. Lei Zi took the contract with the seal of Wu'an Palace on it. He still had to go to the relevant department to handle the household registration.

Jian Xi originally planned to let Caiyun live in her previous house in Songzi Lane. Since Caiyun was friends with her, she didn't want to trouble Shen Nanxing because of this. But now she can't do that anymore.

Li's confession has been written.

Ah Qing was indeed very thoughtful and was able to pry a lot of information out of Li.

She remembered that Caiyun was sold together with her. After entering the palace, her name was changed by the mother inside. She was previously called Erniu.

Li's mother, Chen Li, was a midwife. Her father died early, and Chen Li raised Li alone with her midwifery skills.

Who knew that Li got pregnant before marriage. The man didn't want to take responsibility, so he ran away overnight, leaving Li waiting foolishly.

It happened that one night, it rained heavily and the convoy was blocked and had to stay in the village.

There was a pregnant woman inside, who was about to give birth. Chen Li was the only midwife in the village, so the village chief placed the woman in Chen Li's home.

That night there were thunder and lightning, and the woman was frightened and gave birth prematurely. Li saw that the woman was dressed luxuriously and could tell at a glance that she was either rich or noble, so she begged her mother to exchange her daughter, who was just a few days old, with the woman's child.

He also promised to take good care of the woman's daughter. Chen Li agreed out of pity and sent the maid away. Since the newborn baby's appearance could not be identified, she swapped the two children.

Li took advantage of the woman's weakness and unconsciousness after giving birth and took off the bracelet on her hand, which looked expensive.

After the woman woke up, she gave Chen Li a lot of silver to express her gratitude.

Seeing how generous this woman was, Chen Li was afraid that she must have an extraordinary background. She was afraid that her life would be in danger if her secret was exposed, so she took Li and moved away to hide her identity.

After a few days, Li's true nature was exposed. She didn't care about her stolen daughter at all. She even took out all her resentment about being abandoned on the baby. She refused to feed the baby and once almost strangled the baby to death. Fortunately, the baby was rescued by her mother.

Chen Li couldn't bear it, but she didn't know the woman's name, so it was too late for her to regret.

But he didn't want to see his daughter commit a sin, so he exchanged the woman's daughter with the daughter of a nearby scholar. The scholar's wife was an embroiderer, and the couple loved each other and lived a good life.

She only hoped to reduce her sins. Li finally gave up her previous crazy idea of ​​revenge on the baby. Chen Li herself was raising the daughter of the scholar.

Chen Li was filled with regret and excessive worry all day long, and died with hatred in his heart.

Li was obsessed with it. She waited for the scholar's wife to die of illness, and then raised her daughter in a neighbor's home, giving her some silver every month. The neighbor remembered Chen Li's kindness and felt sorry for the girl, so he agreed.

Li paid a matchmaker for money and became the scholar's concubine. She enjoyed torturing the scholar's daughter every day.

As soon as the scholar died, she sold all the scholar's children and the daughter raised by her neighbor to a human trafficker. It was said that the human trafficker specialized in buying skinny horses from Yangzhou in the Jiangnan area and selling them in the capital.

Everything matched. Jian Xi guessed that she was the woman's daughter, and the scholar was Jian Yu. Caiyun and the girl who was sold with her, whose previous name was Erniu, all matched. Caiyun should be Jian Yu's daughter.

Hey!

Injustice.

The original owner never knew his own life experience until his death.

From the beginning to the end, it was Li's greed that was at work.

The original owner had received favor from Jian Yu, so she had to take care of Caiyun's affairs.

"Get off the sedan!"

The sedan chair went all the way into Jian Xi's Huashui Pavilion.

Caiyun held her small bag and was slightly stunned as she looked at the mansion in front of her which was in no way inferior to the Wu'an Palace.

"What are you standing there for? Come in."

Caiyun came back to her senses and slowly followed Jian Xi.

Seeing that Caiyun didn't say anything, Jian Xi walked up to her and took Caiyun's arm. "Originally, your yard has been cleaned up, but I thought that you just came out and you are unfamiliar with the place, so I cleaned up my east side yard and left a room for you. Let's have a good talk today, what do you think?"

Caiyun looked at the beauty in front of her, smiling like a flower, without any airs at all. Except that her clothes were a little more luxurious, she was no different from when she was in the palace.

The anxiety in my heart about the unfamiliar environment was much less, and I smiled gently and replied, "Everything is up to my sister to arrange."

Jian Xi took Caiyun aside and talked about many childhood stories.

......

"I remember when we first entered the mansion, Caixia's name was still Yadan, and your name was Erniu. Mother Lin even changed your names for you. I wonder how Caixia is doing now?"

The two of them sat in the compartment of Jian Xi's bedroom, with various fruits on the table, chatting about family matters.

Caiyun was obviously much more relaxed. She peeled hazelnuts in her hand and chuckled, "Sister, you have a good memory. I remember that Mother Lin said that our names were too rustic.

Caixia is now a very important person. She is an embroiderer in the lady's room. She has signed a contract with the mansion and followed Sister Dingxiang's advice to set up a female household. I have settled everything here. I sent her a message and invited her to come over for a small gathering. She is now in a high position and has a lot more freedom. Sister, you will know when you meet her."

Jian Xi confirmed her guess, her eyes darkened, Caiyun was indeed Jian Yu's daughter.

She raised her eyes and looked at Caiyun's appearance carefully. She was not adorned with any makeup, but had willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and a straight nose. She had a pretty face, and her distinct jaw angle brought out some intellectual beauty. She had thin lips and was dressed in plain clothes, but she did not look self-deprecating. Her back was straight and her posture was dignified. Anyone who saw her would think that she was the good daughter of a respectable family.

In the original owner's memory, the specific appearance of his mother was already a little vague, and the lower half of Caiyun's face was extremely similar to Jian Yu's.

Caiyun didn't understand what was going on and raised her hand to touch her face unconsciously, "Is there dirt on my face?" Why was he looking at her like that?

Jian Xi smiled and shook her head, "No, it's just that my Caiyun is pretty and I can't help but want to take a few more glances at her."

Caiyun blushed and said angrily, "If you want to talk about beauty, it's sister who is beauty. You look so elegant. If I hadn't known you before, I would have thought you were a girl from some wealthy family."

Jian Xi thought to herself, maybe she really is everyone's girl.

In the past two years, she has grown up gradually, her appearance has changed, and she has become more and more cool and beautiful. In her memory, the original owner's mother was a gentle beauty from the south of the Yangtze River. She used to think it was just a genetic mutation.
