queen of hatching eggs

Chapter 36

"A dilapidated little yard?"

The red courtyard wall has peeled paint and is covered with moss and vines.The wooden door Fang Buddha has withstood the baptism of long years, black mildew and rust appear faintly, and the door cymbals are also corroded and deformed... The door plaque hangs obliquely, as if it is about to fall off at any time, with a precarious appearance...

The groom put down the suitcase and left in a hurry.

Xuanyue was left standing at the door in a daze, trying to search for memories about home in her mind.It's just that she really can't remember anything. Could it be that this is her home?Still going wrong?Isn't Xuan Mansion a big family?How could it be such a dilapidated and desolate small yard?

"Squeak."

The door opened suddenly, and a small head poked out.It was a little boy, looking at Xuanyue at the door with rogue eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Mother! Sister is back! Sister is back!" After speaking, he opened the door, ran out and rushed towards Xuanyue .

"Sister! Sister! You're back!" The little boy threw himself into Xuanyue's arms, his face was full of excitement and joy, his expression and movements were full of enthusiasm.

"Who... are you?" Xuanyue asked unnaturally.

"Ah. You... have you forgotten me? I am your younger brother, I am Xiaobao! I heard that you were injured in the academy and lost your memory. Is it true?" The little boy looked sad .This young man who looked eight or nine years old looked very innocent.

"Is Xiaoyue back?" came a gentle voice.

A young woman in her thirties came out, and when she saw Xuanyue, her face, which was a bit vicissitudes, suddenly became stiff.

Xiaobao said: "Sister, call your mother! Don't you even remember your mother?"

Xuanyue's lips moved lightly: "Mother, I'm back."

"..."

Xuanyue went home.

This dilapidated small courtyard is simple but clean inside.The mood of going home is not as embarrassing as imagined, nor is there any joy.

This family, the Xuan family, is a typical family of four.Xuanyue is the elder sister and Xiaobao is the younger brother. He is nine years old this year. The young woman who greets Xuanyue is his mother Lin Ya, and his father Xuan Zhongwu is an accountant.From her younger brother Xiaobao, Xuanyue also learned about the situation of the Xuan family.

It turns out that Xuan's family is a branch of General Xuan's mansion.The Xuan family has been handed down for thousands of years, with luxuriant branches and many descendants.The patriarch of this generation, Xuan Wenye, has three sons, including five or sixty nephews in each house.Except for the eldest son, Boyong Xuan, who inherited the title and General Xuan's mansion, the other sons and nephews were scattered outside as offshoots of General Xuan's mansion.

Xuan Zhongwu is the second child, he is considered to be the person with the most status and identity besides Xuan Boyong.Xuan Zhongwu, who was very talented in martial arts since he was a child, gradually showed great interest in running a business when he grew up, and abandoned martial arts.Among the Xuan family's contemporaries, they are ranked at the bottom in terms of strength, so they are naturally looked down upon and excluded in this country that advocates force.

With Xuanyue's birth, rumors that she was born useless became the laughing stock of the entire empire!The prudent and loyal Xuan Zhongwu's status in Xuan's family has plummeted, from being in charge of the family business to becoming the accountant of General Xuan's mansion!

Although the accountant housekeeper of the General's Mansion has a humble position, no matter how you look at it, he is a fat job!In charge of the entire family's financial expenditure and circulation, it is obviously an important position with some real power.Xuan Zhongwu is the direct descendant of the Xuan family, he is honest and prudent, so he is more than competent.It's a pity that the accountant housekeeper is really a humble position, and the monthly salary is pitifully low.

The family situation of Xuanyue's family has just plummeted. In more than ten years, they sold their original mansion, spent all their savings, and became the poorest nobles!

She was bullied in the college and was in a coma for several months, but the Xuan family ignored her.Xuanyue obviously didn't have high expectations for this ruthless family member.But when I came back, I found that the situation was a little different from what I had imagined.Her mother, Lin Ya, was a woman of few words. After helping her tidy up the room, she went to work.Little brother Xiaobao has been turning around her, chatting endlessly.

Although she hasn't seen her father yet, Xuanyue feels a little cold, but it's not to the point of being ruthless.Especially Xiaobao, who obviously loves sister Xuanyue very much.

In the evening, his father Xuan Zhongwu came home.

Seeing Xuanyue, she was obviously not too surprised or dissatisfied, she just glanced at her and went back to her study to work.

This family really has no feelings at all.

Xuanyue sent Xiaobao away with great difficulty, lying on the wooden bed alone, thinking in her heart that she should find a way to steal a few cheat books, and then fly away.Staying in this indifferent and poor home is really frustrating.Xuanyue lived alone in her previous life, she was used to being lonely, and she didn't expect any kind of family warmth, but it just felt awkward.Besides, these people are not her family members.

When it was time to light the lamps, Lin Ya brought the food.

Like this simple home, the meals are also quite simple.A few eggs, a bowl of sauced meat, and a bowl of rice.

"Xiaoyue, it's the first day you come home, eat a little more, it can be regarded as a cleansing for you!" Lin Ya looked at the food, blushing a little.

"Ah."

Xuanyue nodded lightly.She doesn't pay too much attention to food, but it's really too shabby to clean up like this.What's more, let her eat alone, obviously not treating her as a family.Xuanyue didn't care about it, she responded coldly, and didn't speak any more.

Lin Ya wanted to say something, thought about it, and left Xuanyue's room without saying anything.

Xuanyue was indeed hungry.

Although the food is a bit shabby, the taste is not bad.She finished eating in twos and threes, packed up the empty dishes and sent them to the kitchen.

It was dark outside.

Walking outside the kitchen, I found that the lights were still on inside.Xuanyue was a little curious, is there anyone in the kitchen?

She approached slightly, but saw furtive figures in the kitchen from outside the window, as well as thin voices.

"Has she eaten?"

Xuanyue could hear the voice of her father Xuan Zhongwu.

Then came Lin Ya's reply: "I brought it in, but I didn't see her eating. But she is tired today, so she should know how to eat!"

Xuan Zhongwu sighed softly, and said: "She hasn't had a good time in the college for the past two years, and my father is also unable to protect her. The only thing I can do is to let her have a good meal!"

Lin Yadao: "Zhongwu, my daughter will understand one day! You have been excluded and looked down upon in the General's Mansion. If you hadn't endured the humiliation for so many years, you wouldn't even be able to keep the position of the accountant! If our last relationship with the General's Mansion If you lose everything, you will lose the protection of the General’s Mansion completely! Xiaoyue’s body is weak, and she can’t practice martial arts. If you don’t have the protection of the General’s Mansion, you will have no chance of getting ahead in the future. I know you really want to leave the General’s Mansion Go for a career, I know you want to run a business and business, you have a steady personality, a clear mind, and a talent for doing business. It's a pity... Hey, you have sacrificed too much for this family!"
