There was also Xiu Xiu's mother in Xiuzhang's house, her eyes were red and swollen, and her mouth was hoarse.
Seeing someone looking like he was about to kneel down towards her, Song Jinyin turned sideways to avoid this scene.
"Song Ci, I called you here because I have something to ask for. If..."
Xin Xiu's palm words were choked with sobs, and he helped the woman on the ground, moving slowly and helplessly.
Song Jinyin took advantage of the situation and looked up, but she only saw the white hair on the temples of the two women and traces of wind and frost in the corners of their eyes.
It was indeed heartbreaking to see, but she still shook her head.
"I can't help you, I'm sorry, Xin Xiuzhang."
With just a few words, a look of defeat appeared in the eyes of the two people in front of them.
Song Jinyin knew what they were going to say, and she also knew how desperate such a rejection would make them.
But it was impossible for her to nod, or in other words, it was impossible for her to nod like this.
But Song Jinyin also knew that the person in front of her would not compromise easily.
Sure enough, she was kept as she had guessed, but it was Wu Xiuzhang who kept her.
After about a stick of incense, she stepped out of the room.
Behind her was the hoarse cry of a woman. In order to find a chance for her daughter, who was not loved by others, she knelt down countless people.
But everyone inside knows that in this world, when facing noble people, such crying and begging are the most useless things.
"What did Xin Xiuzhang call you to do?"
Seeing her coming back, Lianxiang's face showed no signs of good or bad, so she couldn't help but curiously approached her.
And Song Jinyin looked at her without hiding anything.
"Xin Xiuzhang asked me to go with him to see Miss Feng today and try to find a way to plead for Xiu Xiu."
"Xin Xiuzhang is crazy!"
Lian Xiang exclaimed, seeing the eyes of others looking over, she quickly pulled Song Jinyin out of the room and lowered her voice.
"Last time Miss Feng saw you, she wished you could freeze to death outside. Now she has gone crazy and shows her kindness to you again. Xin Xiuzhang asked you to come with her. Doesn't this mean she wants you to die with her?"
"I don't understand either. I told her that Miss Feng doesn't want to see me."
Song Jinyin tilted her head and blinked, her tone filled with confusion, but there was no panic in her eyes.
"I shouldn't have found you in the first place. When you first came to Luo City, you were just an embroiderer!"
"Perhaps she was ill and sought medical treatment. When Xin Xiuzhang saw her coming to see me yesterday, he thought she treated me...differently."
"Bah! What difference can it make!"
Hearing this, Song Jinyin smiled inwardly, and her eyebrows also curved a little.
It's really different, just a different kind of disgust.
"All this is just for a show!"
Lian Xiang frowned and did not notice Song Jinyin's too calm expression.
She only felt that Xiuzhang should concentrate on doing Xiuzhang, instead of ruining the better future of the embroidery workshop for a man who was thinking too much.
"Let me see, Xiuxiu brought this stage to her own fault. When she was in the embroidery workshop, she didn't stop every day. Now her life and death are unknown, and she still has to drag others into the water!"
"Sister Lianxiang, don't be angry."
Song Jinyin said in a soft voice: "Actually, isn't it Xiuxiu? Several embroidery palms will try their best to get people. Wu Xiu Zhang said that no matter what, she can't just watch the embroidery lady under her hands lose her life. ."
"Tsk, you're confused!"
Lianxiang crossed her arms across her chest and subconsciously rolled her eyes.
"Although I can't stand such arrogant things, I still have to be more sober! I am a noble person, and my status is there. To put it bluntly, if I confront Miss Feng in the name of the embroidery workshop, I will It's because I don't know what's good or bad! If I were Xiuzhang, I could try to save people, but I definitely wouldn't be able to stand out like this..."
Lianxiang's calmness sounds a bit ruthless, but it is an undeniable fact.
Song Jinyin heard her honesty in her words, and also saw the sobriety she had always shown on the outside.
None of this makes people resist. On the contrary, all the directness that can be seen makes Song Jinyin feel more at ease.
Instead of guessing other people's calculations, for Song Jinyin, this is the best way to get along with her now.
It's just that the anger in these words made people unable to think about it. They just wanted to reach out and cover her mouth first.
...
At this time, in a certain house in Luo City, the young master of the Yi family just opened his eyes.
Next to it were uncollected wine bottles, scattered on the table.
"Master, you are finally awake."
"What's the matter?"
The person on the bed was a little impatient. After standing up, he moved his neck. Thinking of the first card he failed to leave yesterday, he felt it was a pity.
The more money some girls cannot afford, the more people miss them.
"Master, I'm afraid something has happened in Yi's house these past two days. Madam asked you to go back to the house today to help the master, and the eldest girl from the prefecture's mansion also came to our house with gifts in the past two days, maybe. .....”
"Feng Qiyu is really embarrassed."
The man took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and said sarcastically: "Earlier, my father asked me to show my kindness. Then Feng Qiyu really thought that he was some kind of good guy and didn't take people seriously. Now my father has other things on his mind." , she stuck to me again, I want to see how shameless she can be."
"What the young master said is true, but Miss Feng left a message privately..."
"explain."
"She said that the embroiderer who served the young master is now in her hands. If the young master still wants to have a taste of it, it is best to send someone to pick her up earlier, otherwise she..."
"That's it."
The man suddenly sneered, and a trace of gloom flashed across his narrow eyebrows.
"Then Feng Qiyu actually thought of using an embroiderer to find me. It seems that the gift she sent to the Yi family was not her intention... Since she doesn't like me, I will simply play with her. ."
The boy didn't dare to answer.
Whether it is the girl from the prefect's mansion or his own young master, he is not someone he can mess with.
But after saying this, the young man understood that Xiu Niang, whom the young master originally wanted to keep for a few days, probably had no intention of taking care of her anymore.
"I will prepare a carriage for the young master to go back now."
"Well, the wine ordered in the building today has been pushed out for me."
Speaking of Xiuxiu, the man couldn't help but think of the other face in the carriage that day.
It really grew into his heart.
It's a pity that although he loves beauty, he never gets involved in bad things easily.
...
It was night in a blink of an eye.
In the prefect's mansion, Xiuxiu, who was locked up, had been tortured to the point where she was barely conscious.
But when the wooden door opened and the maid came in with a lamp, she had to open her eyes.
"You're not dead yet? You bitch can hold your breath for a long time."
The visitor snorted coldly, stood not far away from her, folded his arms on his chest, and looked at her condescendingly.
"It's a pity that the person you put so much effort into sticking up with doesn't seem to care about your life or death at all."
Xiuxiu looked at the man in front of her who was smiling evilly, feeling dizzy. She didn't have the energy to even beg for mercy, and she didn't plan to say anything more.
Ever since she heard the word "Crown Prince" from Miss Feng's mouth that day, she had been in a trance.
That noble person that she couldn't even imagine was somehow related to the carriage that day, and also somehow related to Song Ci, whom she couldn't stand.
Xiuxiu couldn't figure it out.
She originally wanted to use Song Ci's stay and leave to find a way out of Miss Feng's hands.
But there is no way she can survive.
Even if she could escape from the prefect's mansion, with Song Ci's status, it would still be impossible for her to live safely.
Xiuxiu felt that her eyes were dim, and she could not see clearly what was in front of her because of her drowsiness.
His eyes were clouded, and his whole body gradually became stupid in the pain.
Feng Qiyu's voice fell in his ears, full of sneers and sarcasm.
And her foot also took a step forward and stepped hard on her fingers that were lying on the ground.
"Speaking of which, your life is not too bad. Several embroidery masters in your embroidery workshop are trying to find ways to get you, trying to save your life from me."
Seeing Xiu Xiu's eyes suddenly light up and then soaked with tears, Feng Qiyu raised her hand to straighten her black hair and chuckled casually.
"What a pity, who makes you unhappy when you meet me?"
"Whenever I'm unhappy, I want to have some fun. But now that it's dark and I can't go out, I can only make do with it and take it out on you. If you want to blame me in the future, you still have to blame that person named Yi. , he is the one who provoked me today."
The people on the ground could no longer hear those words clearly, and they could only shed big tears.
No one knows how much regret is mixed in those tears, and no one cares.
Only the dying Xiuxiu knew that she missed her mother.
She heard Xin Xiuzhang say that her sisters' survival as children was all due to her mother's stitch-by-stitch embroidery work.
I almost starved to death, and almost got caught and sold by a gangster.
Later, the two of them got guidance from kind-hearted people and entered the embroidery workshop.
I thought that a stable life would begin here, but who would have thought that the two of them would offend the noble man for some reason.
Until Xiuxiu's mother's hands were taken and spun around in boiling water, and they became what they are today.
Maybe there are more, but Xiuxiu doesn't know and can't remember clearly.
She couldn't even remember when she started to get tired of the poor family and her mother who worked all the time.
Until now.
Xiuxiu could no longer see clearly the person in front of her and didn't care about the pain on her body.
She just regrets it.
It turns out that all she wanted to get ahead was just to let her mother and her live a good life without bowing their heads.
But she didn't know why, step by step, she got to such a vicious point.
Jealous of others, wanting others to die, and then reaping the consequences.
Feng Qiyu stepped on her foot and was still exerting force, but a nanny suddenly came outside and interrupted her movement.
