Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 490 Shameless

Jin Shui's mother and daughter live in a remote village on the outskirts of Beijing.

This village is very small, with only a dozen families living there.

They all knew that a mother and daughter lived in the thatched cottage in the east of the village, and the old hunter in the village would give them food from time to time.

Late at night.

Hearing the knock on the door, the old hunter got up, put on his coat and opened the door. When he saw someone outside, he silently turned back and lit a lamp.

The two came to the east end of the village one after the other.

He knocked on the door, "Golden Lady, it's me."

The light inside came on, and Jin Shui came to open the door. When he saw two people standing at the door, he froze slightly, and hurriedly invited them in.

After she poured the tea, she hurried to coax the child.

The child is crying right now.

Jin Shui looked at the disguised guard and asked, "But Concubine Xiao has something to ask me."

The guard took a sip of warm water, nodded and said, "Miss Jin, your family is dead."

Jin Shui was stunned, his expression froze, and the movement of patting the child with his hand also stopped.

In this silent moment, the baby cried even harder with a wow.

It took her a long time to slowly recover, her eyes were glazed over, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

"Why, why did he die..."

The guard said slowly, "Ye Ling personally ordered the killing. Now the body is in the hands of General Xiao, and Concubine Xiao has entrusted someone to bring back the bodies of your parents and younger brother, and they will be sent to you when the time comes."

"What Empress Xiao Concubine means is that these are your relatives after all, and you should be the one to send them off for the last time."

With a blank face, Jin Shui staggered back a step, but fortunately there was a crude wooden bed behind her, and she sat down on it.

"How could it be, how could it be like this, how could it be His Highness who killed her... His Highness clearly promised me that he would take good care of my family."

"Why... ah! Why...! No, His Highness would not do this, you must have made a mistake!"

Tears fell from Jin Shui's face.

The cries of the woman intertwined with the cries of the child, making it extremely sad at night.

The guard lowered his head silently, "I have already delivered the message, and I would like to express my condolences to Miss Jin."

The guards came overnight and had to go back overnight.

The old hunter looked at the grieving woman, sighed helplessly, went to boil a stream of hot water and put it on the table, and then left quietly, closing the door behind him.

Jin Shui was in a daze and waited for more than ten days.

Just when she thought in a trance that the news she learned that night might be a dream she had.

There was a commotion in the village.

Suddenly, four unidentified corpses were sent into the village.

The villagers are naturally not happy about such an unlucky thing.

The villagers took the farm tools they used to do farm work at home, and blocked them in the middle of the road, trying to prevent people from passing.

"You can't go in."

"These are some dirty things. We heard that someone died in our village recently. You are from the next village, right? Why did the dead people from your village come to our village?!"

Jin Shui was absent-minded while holding the child.

Breakthrough heard the movement from outside, and after listening for a while, he came back to his senses.

She hurriedly put the sleeping child on the bed, and staggered out.

There is only one road in this village.

As soon as she rushed out, she saw a group of people blocking the middle of the road from a distance.

She rushed over and pushed away the people who blocked her.

The pushed villagers frowned displeasedly, looked over, and found that it was an unfamiliar woman.

The woman staggered unsteadily, fell to the ground, and hurriedly got up again. She ran over and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

Many villagers hurriedly covered their noses to avoid it.

These corpses had obviously been placed for many days, and there was a rancid smell.

There are also mosquitoes flying around.

Unexpectedly, this woman dared to open it to take a look.

Everyone hurriedly avoided.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't enough for the woman to lift one, but also opened all of them.

After Jin Shui had read it all over, he wept bitterly.

At this moment, the villagers all realized that the four corpses should be the woman's family members.

"Who is this? Is it from our village?"

"Why haven't I seen this person before?"

There are only a dozen households in their village, and if anyone in the east of the village peeks at who is taking a bath, the whole village will know all about it the next day.

Someone seemed to recognize Jin Shui.

"This can't be the woman who lives in the east of the village and never goes out. I heard that she has a child, but someone heard the child crying at night."

"Someone also saw that old hunter who lived on the mountain always came to look for her late at night!"

As soon as these words came out, the way these village women looked at Jin Shui changed.

What manners and shame can a woman have with an older man in the middle of the night.

they shouted,

"No, none of us know her! She is not from our village at all."

"Yes, she is not from our village, she cannot enter, and the corpse cannot be sent in."

"This kind of woman is so shameless, she should be kicked out with that old hunter!"

There is trouble here.

Jin Shui fell to the ground, no one knew who threw an egg and it hit her on the head, and the yellow-white egg liquid smeared her face.

Very embarrassed.

In the end, the corpse still could not be transported into the village.

Jin Shui finished feeding the children, closed the door, and walked up the mountain silently at night.

The corpse that had been parked outside the village during the day had been dragged up the mountain by the old hunter.

He worked hard and dug out two graves with a shovel. Seeing the golden water coming up, he wiped his sweat, "You put your parents down first, and I'll dig two more."

Jin Shui couldn't hold back his tears again, and gently put them in.

"I'm sorry, father, mother, my daughter is unfilial, it is my daughter who harmed you, and when you are old, you cannot serve by your side!"

"Now that you are gone, my daughter can't send you back to your hometown for burial. It is also unfilial for my daughter to bury you in a foreign country!"

The two of them worked all night before burying Jinshui's family properly.

The old hunter raised Jin Shui.

Jin Shui looked at him, and thanked him dearly.

I also know that because of her, the old hunter is in a difficult situation in the village now.

"What are your plans for the future?"

The old hunter shook his head, "I'm alone, if I can't stay here anymore, I'll just move somewhere."

Jin Shui nodded reassuringly upon hearing the words, and said, "I'm leaving and going back to Beiming."

Hearing this, the old hunter sighed and nodded silently.

—

The sky is high and the road is far away.

Jin Shui chose to return to Beiming alone.

And her child was sent to Xiao Yueyao.

She could have been sent directly to Prince Dai's mansion.

This is King Dai's own flesh and blood, so naturally it should be sent back to Prince Dai's mansion.

But Jin Shui was worried about King Dai and sent the child to Xiao Yueyao.

Holding the five-month-old baby in her arms, Xiao Yueyao sighed deeply.
