"Sister Xiang...... no, it's better to call sister Ling. It's rare that you have time to come back. Six...... she's not busy now? Speaking of, there are fewer and fewer old people at home. Many new people have come in these years, but they are not as steady as you were." Zheng Ruilian, the second wife of the Lin family, came back from a walk in the garden and saw sister Xiang standing outside her house, He said with some joy and surprise.

When Lin Xizhen was alive, the servants or other subordinates who worked in the Lin family were better. With Lin Xizhen's death, they first dispersed part. When Hong Kong fell, the Lin family took refuge in Guangzhou, and then dispersed part. Then Lin Xiaoze, Lin Xiaohe and Lin Xiaosen returned to Hong Kong to take charge of the family business, dismissed many old people of the Lin family, filled in many new faces, and their memory decreased with age, Zheng Ruilian's servants of the Lin family who can name them are almost gone. Most of them are the Lin family after her old age. They don't have too deep friendship with her.

Zheng Ruilian was deeply impressed by this long lost sister-in-law Xiang. Both of them were orphans adopted by Lin Xizhen. Even Zheng Ruilian remembered the date of picking it up, because that day was the day when she gave birth to her second son Lin xiaoqia. Lin xiaoqia had just given birth. When Lin Xizhen was ordering the housekeeper to reward the red envelopes of the whole family, a servant reported, There are two more abandoned babies outside the Lin family gate today.

There were one or two more abandoned babies outside the rich people's house. At that time, it seemed like a routine. The end often was that the rich people asked their servants to help send the children to the welfare home. Some kind-hearted people would leave three or five yuan to the welfare home as rice flour money for abandoned babies, which was regarded as a good thing.

On the day he gave birth to Lin xiaoqia, there were two abandoned babies, a man and a woman, outside the Lin family. As a result, Lin Xizhen was happy because he got his son. He didn't send the two abandoned babies to the welfare home as usual, but felt that the two children were lucky, so he was raised in the Lin family. The man's name was you Xiang and his nickname was brother Xiang. He learned boxing and foot skills with Lin Xizhen's men, Thinking that she would be a loyal and reliable son to help sell opium to the sea in the future, the female was named Fengling and nicknamed sister Ling. She stayed in the house and learned cooking and rules with the domestic maid. At the age of 16, the two abandoned babies had grown up. They were smart and handy in the house, and Lin Xizhen arranged to get married, Lin Xizhen even said that when Lin Youxiang and sister Ling were in their thirties and forties, they were the housekeepers of the Lin family. Feng Ling was also renamed sister-in-law Xiang after they got married.

Lin Xizhen liked the two children and specially arranged someone to help them find Lin Youxiang and sister Ling's parents and relatives according to the notes and keepsakes left when they were abandoned. He gave their parents a sum of money to buy land in the countryside, which also made them more grateful and more determined to stay in the Lin family.

Unfortunately, one year after marriage, Lin Youxiang didn't come back when she went to sea for the first time. She died in the battle of opium traffickers. The young sister-in-law Xiang became a widow. She simply combed her hair completely and stopped marrying, concentrating on being a servant in the Lin family.

However, in order to avoid bad luck, the big room stopped asking her to help. Later, sister-in-law Xiang served in Zheng Ruilian's room, but she didn't serve for long. It may be that the big room opened her mouth and drove her to serve Lin Yujing's daily life. Later, Lin Yujing married and was directly arranged to go out of the door together.

Mrs. Zheng has always felt a pity for sister-in-law Xiang. She has a bad life and is also a miserable woman.

Now, seeing sister-in-law Xiang, who has not been seen for a long time, appear in the Lin family mansion, Mrs. Zheng walks over and wants to take sister-in-law Xiang's hand and talk affectionately.

Xiangsao smiled reluctantly and hesitated again and again, but finally she knelt down in front of Zheng Ruilian.

Zheng Ruilian was startled by sister-in-law Xiang's action and asked the servants around her to help pull sister-in-law Xiang up. Sister-in-law Xiang's eyes hung tears and didn't speak. Zheng Ruilian waved her hand and ordered the two maids to avoid in the distance first. Then she held sister-in-law Xiang's hand and said with emotion:

"Have you been wronged? Have you suffered a disaster at home? You have been suffering with miss six for years. I know that miss six is also short of money and food. If you are short of money, tell me. I can supply you with one or two thousand yuan for emergency."

She thought that sister-in-law Xiang came to see herself because she was afraid to see Hong Lanfang because she was short of money or wronged at home, so she secretly wanted her own help.

"Second lady, someone tied me up and threatened me to come back to deliver a message to you, saying that if I didn't promise, I would go to the countryside to find trouble for my family. I have been worthy of my parents and brothers for years. My parents abandoned me and raised me with mercy. I don't want to come back and send a message to them, but... But I'm really afraid of the news I was asked to send So she couldn't help coming back, "said sister-in-law Xiang, wiping her tears.

Zheng Ruilian stared: "is there any royal law? Someone tied you? What message."

She is a traditional woman with no big world. In her impression, except for Lin Xizhen's death, the Lin family has been calm since then. Even if the Japanese call Hong Kong and the Lin family go to Guangzhou, no local people in Guangzhou dare to bully and provoke, let alone Lin Xiaoze. After Lin Xiaohe and the two returned to Hong Kong to take charge of the Lin family.

"They asked me to tell you that the third young master made a conspiracy, first let the eldest young master have a car accident and almost died, and now let the marine police take the second young master away..." sister-in-law Xiang bowed her head and sobbed.

Zheng Ruilian shook her body slightly. When she interrupted sister-in-law Xiang, her voice trembled: "ah Ze had a car accident? Ah Cha was taken away by the police?"

When Lin Xiaohe had a car accident, he specially told Lin Xiaohe not to tell his two mothers so as not to worry them. Lin Xiaohe only told them that he had gone to Japan to talk about business, so Zheng Ruilian really didn't know that his son had a car accident.

Now I hear that her two biological sons, one almost died in a car accident and the other in prison, can barely stand here. It is the confidence she has experienced in many great scenes in the Lin family. I'm afraid ordinary women have already cried badly or simply fainted.

Sister-in-law Xiang's hands were hurt by Zheng Ruilian. She was worried that the other party could not bear the shock and anger. At this time, she held the other party's body nearby and hurriedly explained: "second lady, it may also be those people who deliberately asked me to scare you. It can't be true... Let someone inquire about it to know whether it is true or not."

"Yes... Yes." Zheng Ruilian returned to her senses and looked at sister-in-law Xiang with fixed eyes: "azeacha, they won't have an accident. I'll ask someone to ask the eldest lady first. If something happens at home, she must know."

Xiang sister-in-law hesitated for a few seconds and spoke again: "however, those people said that the third young master designed the eldest young master and the second young master, and the eldest lady..."

"I asked people around me to go outside to inquire about it in person." Zheng Ruilian took a deep breath and smiled at sister-in-law Xiang: "no, ah Ze has been regarded as his own by the eldest lady since he was young. How could she let... Ah Xiao calculate him."

In the last half sentence, if Zheng Ruilian hadn't clenched her teeth, she could hardly speak.
