Chapter 22 The Reason for Suicide

"My mother's family used to be a famous big lady in the capital. She met my father when she was 16 years old. At that time, my father was a scholar and came to the capital from other places to take part in the examination. The two met on the bank of the Hong River in the capital. My mother was killed by me. Dad's literary talents are overwhelming."

Cui Xiaoru spoke slowly, with a soft voice, recalling the past, with confused eyes, as if searching for the memory in her mind.

"My mother is beautiful and beautiful, she is graceful and graceful, and she is so ordinary like me." When Cui Xiaoru said this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The servant girl Huan'er's eyes turned red, and she interrupted: "Miss is obviously very beautiful, I heard from Grandma that she has the same facial features as Madam."

"I've grown up so much, so I'm naturally self-aware." A melancholy and bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Cui Xiaoru smiled wryly at the servant girl behind her, turned her head, and looked at Lin Xueyao with gentle and sad eyes and Sunan.

Lin Xueyao stared blankly at Cui Xiaoru, listening to her continue talking.

Sunan sighed in his heart, but he changed from his previous foolishness and became serious.

"My father fell in love with my mother at first sight, and my mother also admired my father's talent. After many exchanges, the two fell in love. It's just that my father was just a penniless poor scholar, and my mother It's true that the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital is not in the right family, and my mother didn't dare to let the family know, so she secretly subsidized my father to get a good name in the exam."

But Cui Xiucai is a useless thing. After three years of examinations, she failed to succeed. Xiaoru's mother is getting older, and her family gradually began to force her to marry and have children.

Xiao Runiang had no choice but to drag it on several times, but finally couldn't go on anymore, so she could only confess to her father that she had already had an affair with Cui Xiucai.Grandpa was naturally furious and threatened to teach Xiaoru's mother a lesson, but Xiaoru's mother was also stubborn. For her own marriage, she and her father resisted several times. Finally, they had a cold war for more than half a year, and finally agreed reluctantly.

But this scholar is poor and poor, naturally it is impossible for his daughter to marry a poor boy for nothing and suffer, so Cui Xiucai is asked to give up the examination for fame and start to learn to do business.

Perhaps it was Cui Xiucai who had failed in the examination for three years and had already given up in his heart, so he agreed to start learning to do business.Unexpectedly, although this Cui Xiucai was not very good at studying, he was very good at doing business. With the principal of Xiaoru's natal family, he made a fortune later, the business became bigger and bigger, and his life became better and better.

When she said this, Cui Xiaoru had tears in her eyes, her voice was choked up, and she seemed unable to speak again.

Sunan heaved a long sigh. Hearing this and adding his surname, he already knew who this Cui Xiaoru was and the story behind it.

Seeing that she was sobbing, he could only tell the story on her behalf.

"So, Cui Xiucai is Cui De, a well-known wine merchant in the capital. And you should be the daughter of Cui De's original wife, Mrs. Chen." This story is also a time when Su Yang had nothing to do and ran into the shop. When drinking tea, I told Sunan.

Lin Xueyao didn't know the allusion. Hearing what Sunan said, she stared at him in surprise, wondering how Sunan knew about it.

"Yes." Cui Xiaoru nodded and said sadly.

The reason why Cui Xiaoru is said to be the daughter of the original wife is because Cui De's current wife is not the Chen family, but the Yuan family.

Cui Xiucai's business was successful, and Xiaoru's mother-in-law Chen finally got her wish. She married Cui De at the age of 22. After Cui Xiucai got rich, the two stayed in love for a while.

But the good times didn't last long, and Chen's business lost a lot of money because of being cheated.At that time, old man Chen suddenly fell ill because he didn't know people well, and the business at home naturally plummeted. It didn't take long for old man Chen to die of anger.

After Mr. Chen died of anger, the family fell apart. Originally, there were three children in the family. After the family property was divided, they gradually disappeared and there was no news.

Chen was already married to Cui Xiucai as a wife at that time. Although she intended to compensate her natal family for the catastrophe, it did not play a big role at that time, and soon went bankrupt.Chen was depressed and sad, and her health was gradually getting worse.

At this time, Mrs. Chen gave birth to a daughter, and it should be Cui Xiaoru in front of her.

Cui De was naturally dissatisfied that Mrs. Chen had only given birth to a daughter, and wanted to give Mrs. Chen another son, but Mrs. Chen was unable to conceive again because of her severe stagnation, which hurt the root of her body.

The ancient people had a very heavy patriarchal thought, and a woman who can't bear a son is useless.Soon, Cui De married another concubine, Yuan Shi, for him to carry on the family line.

This Yuan family is very competitive, although her family background is not good, but the first child is a boy, Cui De is naturally overjoyed, and she loves Yuan family more than his original partner, Chen family.

In contrast, Chen's health was even worse. Not two years after Yuan gave birth to his son, Chen passed away.

After Chen's death, Yuanshi conceived another child, but this time it was a daughter.With one son, it doesn't really matter if the second one is a boy or a girl.The Yuan family has made great achievements in childbearing, and two years after Chen's death, she helped her become Cui De's official wife.

I heard that this little girl was cute and well-behaved when she was a child, she was deeply loved by the Cui Mansion since she was a child, even more so than that son, and she is even more charming when she grows up, she is not very famous in this capital.

Sunan looked at Cui Xiaoru with pity in his eyes.

Although this Cui Xiaoru's face is good, I don't know if it's because she didn't keep up with her nutrition since she was a child. It doesn't matter.

This Cui Xiaoru must have lost her mother at a very young age, and later her stepmother was favored by Zhengrong, and she must have been very displeased with the oil bottle left by her ex-wife.

Thinking about it, life has always been difficult, otherwise, there would not be only one immature girl by her side, and even the clothes she wore on the body of the legitimate concubine could not be compared to the maid beside Miss Lin Xueyao.

Cui Xiaoru remembered her previous life, and burst into tears. The maid next to her could only stand aside, her face also full of grief and anger.

"So that's how it is, your background is so pitiful." Lin Xueyao's eyes were moist when she heard this, she almost burst into tears, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Sunan sighed in his heart, this is because he knew everything, but there were still things he didn't know, and this Miss Cui had to tell her.

"So, you've endured it for so many years, why did you suddenly get overwhelmed and want to commit suicide tonight? But what did you know?" Sunan looked at Cui Xiaoru and asked suddenly.

Lin Xueyao looked at Sunan suspiciously, wondering why he would suddenly ask this question.

But when Cui Xiaoru heard what Sunan said, she couldn't help crying out in grief, and the tears continued.

The pitiful cry made the listener cry, Lin Xueyao couldn't help but walked to her side, patted her back lightly, to comfort her.

Sunan sat quietly where she was, looking at her as calmly as before.

"Yes... because I heard what my mother and sister said." Cui Xiaoru cried for a while, then calmed down, and said with a slightly choked voice.

It turned out that the Chen family had a sister who grew up together——the Yang family. This Yang family was different from Xiaoru's mother. When she was 16 years old, she married the Zhang family, which was already well-known in the capital. , like Cui Xiucai, is also in the wine business.

The difference is that this family has been making wine for generations, and the family's secret recipe has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that their generation has been more than ten generations, and they are still somewhat famous in this capital.The Cui family only sells wine, not wine making.

This Yang family only had a son when he was 20 years old, and he was deeply loved by the master of the Zhang family. The husband and wife have a deep relationship, and they have never heard of the master of the Zhang family taking concubines. Compared with Xiaoru's mother's experience, It looks like a world of difference.

But this Yang family was also a person of poor fortune, after giving birth to Lin'er, this Yang family passed away five years later, but Mr. Zhang never remarried. He only had this son under him, and he loved him very much.

The Chen family and the Yang family had a good relationship during their lifetime. When they found out that one of the two families was a man and the other was a woman, they made a baby marriage, and made an appointment to marry the two children by marriage after they grew up.

It is a pity that both of them passed away one after another before their children grew up.This Yang family is a person who keeps his promise. Although Chen family has already passed away, he has always kept this matter in his heart.Before he died, he also asked his master to marry the daughter of the Chen family according to the promise of the two families when his son reached the age of the crown.

"The eldest brother Zhang is handsome and talented. A matchmaker has been coming to propose marriage, but the master of the Zhang family shirks it on the grounds of his deceased wife's last wish." Cui Xiaoru put her hands on the table and clenched them tightly. Cui Xiaoru continued to say with a sad face, "My stepmother Knowing that Zhang's family is rich, he wants to replace my daughter and marry her."

"It's too much, this is obviously something agreed by the parents, how can you change it at will?!"

Lin Xueyao's face was full of anger, and the beautiful Danfeng's eyes almost overflowed with sparks. Hearing about this, she complained for Cui Xiaoru.

Ms. Cui gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, which made me feel pitiful, and she said sadly: "I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and my stepmother allocated my residence to a remote corner because I was unwell and needed to recuperate. Let me take a good rest and recuperate, but actually let my father neglect me."

"Since my mother passed away, I have not been loved by my father. I have never been in the family. The only daughter in his eyes is my younger sister. The Zhang family wine shop is a big family, and many of my family's businesses depend on him. If you really marry in the past, it will not only be a good match for the daughter's family, but also win the relationship between the two families. A person like a father must be more willing to let his beloved daughter marry him."

When Cui Xiaoru mentioned these things, her eyes were slightly depressed. Although she was not angry in her heart, she had nothing to do about it.

"What's more, my younger sister has outstanding looks since she was a child, and she is somewhat prettier than me. Ever since she grew up, she has always admired that young master. Naturally, she couldn't wish for this matter. Today, I followed my stepmother The younger sister came to offer incense and ask for a lottery. At night, I accidentally overheard their mother and daughter talking. It turned out that she had known the young master for two years, and the two had already hit it off. Presumably, if the younger sister really married, Zhang The young master must agree."

Cui Xiaoru's complexion was gloomy, and her eyes were sad. Sitting there, she seemed to have lost her soul and was in a daze.

"unacceptable!!"

There was a loud "touch", the wooden table in front of him trembled, and everyone in the room was startled by the sound. Sunan happened to be drinking a glass of water, and suddenly heard the sudden change, and the ginger soup in his hand directly splashed on his face On, get all over the face.

"Cough cough...cough cough cough." Sunan quickly cleaned the tea off his face with his sleeves, but the people in the room didn't notice his embarrassment, because everyone's eyes were focused on the one in the middle. On a girl Lin Xueyao.

Ms. Lin raised her eyebrows, and the anger in her eyes was almost gushing out. The veins in the palms of the hands on the table were bulging. It was obvious that she was the one who made the loud slamming sound on the table just now.

Ahem, he tidied up his clothes in a panic, but he looked at Lin Xueyao differently.This Miss Lin is also a temperamental person, she just heard a story, how could she be more angry than the original owner?

He raised his eyes to look at Miss Cui opposite, his eyes were dull, and he was frightened dumbfounded at first sight.

"What I hate the most on weekdays is this kind of flirtatious, flirtatious man." Lin Xueyao said these words through gritted teeth, which made Sunan shudder.

Hey, looking at Miss Lin's appearance, there seems to be a story behind it.

Sunan was overjoyed, his eyes were strange, he lowered his eyes, and turned his gaze to the water glass in front of him, thinking to himself.
