The problem with Lancaster family stumbling between them was not all bad, how much experience could one have, how much they treasured it?
Shi Xiaonian walked up the stairs and saw a few bodyguards standing in front of a door. When they saw her, they took the initiative to open it.
She walked in slowly and saw the woman sitting alone in a chair by the window.
The woman sat very upright. The sunlight made the old clothes on her body pale, but she did not mind the glare. She focused her attention on the sky outside the window.
"Auntie, do you want some water?"
Shi Xiaonian asked politely."You're being so polite to me?" The woman sat there and asked, "I felt that if I could get something out of my mouth like this, it would disappoint you. There aren't so many secrets and truths that you can unearth and use."
Shi Xiaonian did not reply, but instead walked to the table, poured a cup of water from the kettle, put in a piece of lemon, and passed it to her, "Actually, I wanted to thank you for coming in. When Lancaster attacked me, she opened the secret door to let me have the surgery to survive."
"…"
The woman tilted her body slightly.
"But then again, if you didn't kidnap me, so many things wouldn't have happened afterwards, so you don't need to thank me anymore." Shi Xiaonian laughed lightly.
Hearing this, the woman took the cup from her hand and lowered her gaze to look at the thin layer of lemon on it. "You are quite a good child. You shouldn't be involved in the conflict between the two families."
Shi Xiaonian sat on a chair at the side, looking at the flowers reflected in the window, and asked, "You have been praising me. In fact, I have a question, we only met once or twice before and we didn't say much.
She was curious about this question. Was there a special halo enveloping her?
Hearing this, the woman laughed lightly and looked at her, "There's nothing more convincing than having you live happily together with a paranoia.""…" Black lines appeared on Shi Xiaonian's face. She did not expect that it would be because of this reason, and couldn't help but say, "It's just a paranoid personality disorder. It's not as scary as you think."
"There are always flaws in that. I saw him yelling at others, but he doted on you quite a bit, and from the looks of it, you didn't marry anyone for the sake of money. Otherwise, you would have already left this place in danger." "This is enough to prove your charm and ability."Shi Xiaonian frowned, "He's my husband, you should understand that I do not like hearing people talk like that."
"Sorry."
The woman said.
Shi Xiaonian sat there in silence, she did not ask any more questions, but the woman held onto her cup and continued, "I also warned you, this place is dangerous, you shouldn't stay, but you have no intention of leaving, why not do me a favor?"
Shi Xiaonian could not help but say, "This way of doing things is rather in accordance with Lancaster's style, you never pay attention to the feelings of others.""Ma'am, do you believe in fate?"
the woman asked.
"Who and who do you mean?" Shi Xiaonian did not understand, the woman drank a mouthful of water and said indifferently, "I have a story that I don't know if this wife would like to hear, but it might disappoint Second Young Master Gong, there is nothing that he wants to know."
"I'm listening."
Shi Xiaonian said softly as she looked at her and met the woman's gaze. The scar on her face was truly unbearable to look at, but her eyes were calm and cold.
"That was many years ago. She was a servant of a large family, and for generations, her family had been like this, she was used to being inferior and inferior to others. One night, she was bullied by her master, but was found out by others, and from then on, her life became more and more despicable."
The woman had used "she" as her master, as if wishing that this person had nothing to do with her.
Shi Xiaonian sat by the side and listened without interrupting. She had heard Feng De mention this story before, it was a small amount of money, but in reality, it was nothing out of the ordinary in a large family, it was just that after giving birth to his son, he became a laughingstock."Because of the family's support, she was not kicked out. She was forced to continue staying in gratitude. She received an unprecedented reprimand, and anyone could step on her and touch her." The woman calmly recounted her past.
Shi Xiaonian was dumbstruck, looking at her in shock. She could almost imagine how a girl with such a low status would live in such a big family, no one would take the lead, and all he could do was to be looked down by people.
"Later on, she gave birth to a son. This caused a huge uproar and caused a huge ruckus. The son was taken away from her and raised by her, so she could only take care of him as a babysitter." "But anyway, those were the only happy days she had."
"…"
"She watched as the children grew up, talked with the children, played games, and cooked for the children. As long as no one bullied or ridiculed her, a room would be the happiest place in the world for the mother and son." Suddenly, she said, "Do you know, she made a kind of cake for the child, adding the jam into it in a special way. The cake that was baked was rather sweet, and it was full of the fragrance of fruits.Shi Xiaonian thought of the cake that she had brought to the woman and remembered that she had already liked it the first time she had eaten her own cake. She suddenly understood and said, "This is also one of the reasons why you sent me to Bi Er."
This was because she had also cooked a cake like this. She had unintentionally discovered a way to run into Beatte's mother."This is our destiny." "Later on, as the children get older, more and more people will talk about right and wrong, and each one of them will bully her in front of the children. The child's innocent and ignorant eyes let her know that she can't stay in this family anymore, and if she stays any longer, she will only become the laughing stock of her own son."
"So you... They escaped? "
Shi Xiaonian asked. When a woman was humiliated, she did not even think of running away, but ran away from such a large family for her son's future.
"Yes, once she escapes, Master will announce her death." The woman said.
"The wound on your face …"
"In the family." The woman covered half her face with her hand.Shi Xiaonian could not take it any longer, "How can those people be so excessive?"
Just how much suffering had she endured in the past?
"The class level is like this. When you are the lowliest, anyone can vent their bad feelings by beating you." The woman calmly asked.
"…" Shi Xiaonian did not want to ask about that part anymore. As if she was forcefully torn apart by a woman's wound until it bled profusely, she immediately jumped over and asked, "And then, you settled in District 13?"
"Yes, all these years have been peaceful and calm." "Until you appear."
"Actually, you should try your best to avoid us. Why would you even offer us a map of the underground passage to stay in?" Shi Xiaonian asked what was the purpose of her actions.
"I wanted to hide." The woman chuckled. "But I overheard Beetee's name, and I knew he was here. Through you, I knew what you were doing, whether you would hurt my son or not."
A mother's behavior made it so that no one could find anything wrong with it.
"So you offered up the underground passage, but left some secret passages behind." Shi Xiaonian said.
The woman nodded and did not try to hide it from her, explaining everything in detail, "During that time, I used to go through underground tunnels to look for Bi Er. The woman nodded, and did not try to hide it from her, but explained everything very clearly," During that time, I used to go through underground tunnels to look for Bi Tinghua.
Beetee had put on a lot of surveillance, but that time, he wasn't watching, he was beating someone.
"…"
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian understood the entire truth. As a mother, she pitied her son for turning out like this, but she was unable to get close to him and do anything about it.
At the same time, she foolishly brought out the cake, let the woman notice her, and then set up such a trap for her to reform Beetee.
"Then you'll know what happened afterwards." The woman looked at her and said happily, "Madam, I didn't misjudge him. You did really well. He looks more like a child now.""Do you know how much you made us pay? To help you achieve the heart of a mother's beloved son, how many people is there in our Gong Jia? " Shi Xiaonian said with an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
She acknowledged that the woman was a mother, but the thought of those huge costs made her sick."I didn't expect them to find out so quickly. I was just going to pick you up." "I didn't mean to cause you premature delivery."
There was no point in saying this now.
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips, then asked the question that Gong Ou wanted to know the most, "What about George? Why did he sneak in to find you? ""I don't know." The woman shook her head and said indifferently, "My lowly status has never entered his eyes. Perhaps he found me here and wanted to take the entire map of the underground passage."
"…"
"All the maps of the underground passage are connected in all directions. It can be said that it covers the entire area no. 13. As long as you are here, he can use the smallest amount of strength to eliminate you." The woman said.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian looked at her, feeling that there was something wrong. However, he couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.
Coming out from this room, Shi Xiaonian saw Gong Ou the first time. He was sitting not far away from his with a tablet computer in his hands.
"Do you think she's lying?" Shi Xiaonian asked, "But what she said was very true, and George could indeed discover her identity, as long as he sees all the surveillance cameras around her a few times."
