Xie Xinnian couldn't find anyone and cried uncontrollably. He had never thought of losing someone, but now he encountered this. His mother was gone and his beloved also left him. His heart ached so much.

Xie Xinxian and Xie Xinhui came to see Xie Xinnian, but he just cried and kept drinking. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he wouldn't say anything. This made everyone in the Xie family worried.

Xie Xinxian advised: "Brother, the Xie family still depends on you, you can't be so decadent."

The Xie family depended on him, and he felt so stressed that he couldn't breathe. He could give up the Xie Mansion, but he couldn't live without his aunt. But now, his aunt was gone.

He said, "Brother, do you know that I often can't sleep all night long? I'm useless. I don't have the ability of my third uncle. I can't support the entire Xie family."

Hearing this, Xie Xinxian couldn't help but say, "Brother, you can't do this. The Xie family still depends on you. We have to inspect the stores soon. If you don't go, the Xie family will be left with no one."

"I, I'm just like my second uncle, good for nothing. You should go find my third uncle. I can't do it." Xie Yunhao would be so angry to death when he heard this.

Xie Xinxian frowned. This family must be supported by Xie Xinnian. After thinking about it, he decided to ask his uncle to take care of Xinxian. He pulled Xie Xinnian up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to find your uncle."

Xie Xinnian refused: "No, I don't want Uncle San to see me being useless."

Xie Xinhui said: "If your mother knew about this, she would be very disappointed."

The Xie Mansion belongs to the eldest brother, what does it have to do with him? He works hard but in the end it is not his. All the good things belong to the eldest brother, what does he want?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was not worth it. There was no way to relieve his worries except to drink heavily.

In the end, Xie Yunzhuo, Old Lady Xie, and Old Man Xie all came out together, but they were unable to persuade Xie Xinnian.

He couldn't help but wonder why this child, who had been obedient and sensible since childhood, was like this now. After asking the people in the courtyard, he found out that a maid was missing from Feiyu Courtyard. This maid was Xinnian's favorite, and she ran away.

Old Madam Xie said to Xie Xinnian, "My grandson, the maid ran away. Just ask the government to bring her back. Why are you so depressed?"

Xie Xinnian said: "She is now a free person, not a maid."

"A maid just left and left. You are so depressed. Are you moved by her because she is your roommate?"

Xie Xinnian lay beside Old Lady Xie and said in a depressed voice, "Don't worry, Grandma. I'll take it easy. I think I'll be fine in a few days."

Mrs. Xie was unable to persuade her, so she just said, "She is unlucky if she leaves. After two or three years, ask your third aunt to find a marriage for you."

Xie Xinnian did not respond, but only said, "Grandma, I want to be alone."

At this time, Mrs. Xie had no choice but to let the child figure it out slowly.

Poor Xie Yunxiao, he had just returned home and been living peacefully for two days when he received a letter from the Xie family. His face couldn't be any gloomier.

Feng Zhuohua asked: "What's wrong?"

Xie Yunxiao handed the letter to Feng Zhuohua, hugged her, sighed with some disappointment, and said: "Xin Nian has not succeeded in the end."

Feng Zhuohua also frowned, and said with a feeling of forcibly breaking up a couple: "Did the girl leave Xie Mansion after having a miscarriage, or did she leave without having a miscarriage?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "How would I know this?"

Feng Zhuohua felt sorry for the girl. If she left Xie Mansion right after the abortion, she would not be able to recover. If she did not have an abortion, she would be alone. How much courage would that take. "What will you do in the future?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "Take care of him for another two or three years." After saying that, he sighed, feeling aggrieved. He missed his peaceful life.

Feng Zhuohua also didn't want Xie Yunxiao to be out all year round, so she turned around and hugged him and said, "If there's no one thing, there's another thing. Why are you destined to be busy?"

Xie Yunxiao picked up the person and spent more time with his wife before going out and while the children were not around.

In broad daylight, Mr. Xie San had no scruples and did whatever he wanted, indulging himself in lust during the day...

An ox cart moved slowly and after four days, it finally arrived in Lin'an.

Yuan Jinjin looked at the tower, which was as high as Jinling, and bowed deeply to the brother driving the ox cart, saying, "Thank you, Brother Niu."

The ox-cart driver waved, and they had been getting along well all the way, but now it was a pity, so he said, "Take care."

Yuan Jinjin waved and walked towards the city.

Not long after leaving the city, a group of horsemen galloped towards the outside of the city, and leading them was Mr. Xie Sanye.

Yuan Jinjin was startled and wanted to hide, but there was no one around her. Then she thought, she didn’t even recognize her own parents now, let alone the rare Third Master Xie, so she mustered up the courage to pretend nothing had happened.

Sure enough, the cavalry's departure had nothing to do with her.

Looking at the Lin'an city gate, I wonder whether Mr. Xie Sanye lives here or has business here.

However, the Xie family's business is spread all over the place, and if they meet them occasionally, who would recognize her as a little maid?

Yuan Jinjin entered the city of Lin'an, found a secluded place, took off her tattered clothes, and revealed her inner dress.

Although it is wrinkled, it's okay as long as it looks good.

The first thing was to find a place to fill her stomach. To be honest, the food she had eaten these days was simple and she didn't vomit at all. It felt like the life she was supposed to live. After all, the wealth of the Xie family was not something a country girl like her could bear.

I randomly found a stall and ordered a bowl of plain noodles.

She would vomit if she ate well at Xie's house, but she didn't vomit when she ate anything outside. She couldn't help but laugh at herself, thinking she was really miserable. She stroked her belly and said, "Son, you are just like mother, you can't enjoy happiness, but it doesn't matter, mother will give birth to you and support your education. We have money, so we are not afraid of anything."

After talking to herself, the noodles appeared in front of her. Yuan Jinjin smelled very fragrant. She took a deep breath and started eating with chopsticks.

Three cents a bowl, enough for her to eat for a lifetime.

After having enough food and drink, you have to think about how to live your life.

People in the city are snobbish and look down on country people. She wanted to live in the countryside, but there is a village chief in the countryside, and the villagers tend to bully outsiders. As a woman, she will consider herself a widow in the future, which is not suitable for the countryside. In the past, widows in the village were easily bullied by everyone, especially at night. Her mother also said that widows in the village have the hardest life. This is why she chose the city.

In the city, going in and out, buying and selling houses does not matter where they are from, just pay the money. If they see you are rich, they will respect you a little. When life is stable, you can get close to them and become neighbors. For her, the worst that can happen is that she will go out less. After the child is born, she can also learn business, open a shop, and have money. Any way is a way to make a living.

On that day, Yuan Jinjin first found an inn to rest. Since she was already there, a day or two wouldn't matter.

The next day, she started looking for a real estate agent. Fortunately, she saw it early. In the next three months, Feng Zhuohua would buy all the houses in Lin'an, and there would be no houses left to sell in Lin'an by then.

Feng Zhuohua only learned how to copy houses, but he didn't learn any other business.

In two days, Yuan Jinjin followed the pawnbroker to look around and bought a house for two hundred taels of silver. It looked quite large and not shabby. With this house, no one would look down on her when her child was born.

I heard that buying a shop would allow me to collect rent which would be a long-term source of income, so I gritted my teeth and spent another three hundred taels to buy a shop that was neither too big nor too small.

She was also afraid that the banknotes would be lost if not carefully watched, so she felt more at ease if she could use them for practical purposes.

It took five days to finish all this.

She used to be a maid and was trained by the eldest lady. She was efficient in doing things, and she was also knowledgeable. She picked the best things when buying things. When guests came in the future, they would not say that the things were empty shells. The key was that the wood was good, so it would not lose its value when she sold it later.

I spent a hundred taels on shopping, and then I settled down to take care of my pregnancy.
