Chapter 766: This benefactor can be considered half of your grandfather
Xia Baoer was shocked and couldn't even speak for a while.
She has been favored by Xia Hongmo and Concubine Hui since she was a child, and she has no idea what it feels like to not be loved by her parents.
How cruel parents must be to throw away their children.
Concubine Hui smiled bitterly, with tears streaming down her face: "I fell off the cliff after collecting herbs, and they didn't come to me. I lay at the bottom of the cliff for two days, and finally crawled back by myself.
But when my mother saw me covered in mud and blood, she called me hell. Although I later found out that I was not dead, all the money in the family was used to find wives for my brothers.
Don't want to heal me. Later, my legs hurt so much that they took advantage of the fact that I was feeling hot and uncomfortable, so they carried me on a straw mat and threw me into the deep forest. ”
At this point, Concubine Hui lowered her eyes: "If it hadn't been for a merchant who collected medicinal herbs to rescue me, I'm afraid I would have been killed by wild beasts."
Xia Baoer gritted his teeth, his beautiful eyebrows filled with anger.
"They are so bad, mother, don't cry, evil people will be punished, and they will not have good results!"
Hui Fei's tears seemed to be unable to stop: "That businessman is a good person. Seeing me pitifully, he thinks I think the righteous girl, and takes me to the capital. Later, I coincided with me. He actually played a great role, and he was the benefactor of his mother.
But he had a fierce wife in his hometown, who always beat and scolded him and threatened him with death for the children I thought were his children. So after my mother entered the palace, my benefactor gave me a sum of money and asked me to live a good life for myself in the future, and he never contacted me again.
Later, thanks to Bao'er's blessing, her mother became Hui Fei and sent people to inquire about his whereabouts. Only then did I find out that his business was in a slump and he lost all his capital and had returned to his hometown.
He lived in poverty. Although I secretly sent people to help him, it was only a drop in the bucket. I didn't dare to give him too much for fear of arousing his wife's suspicion and angry words at him.
But... my mother just received a letter from the secret guard, saying that the benefactor was seriously ill and would not live long. Sometimes I feel very sad when I think about it. He is a good person, but he has a very miserable life. He took care of me like a father, even if he stopped caring about my life later,
I can also understand that he has difficulties. But I didn't expect that the parting more than ten years ago would be the last time I saw him. ”
Concubine Hui said, sighing heavily. She wiped away her tears: "So when Bao'er asked about his grandfather and grandmother, my mother felt that this benefactor could be regarded as half of your grandfather, but she didn't know how to mention this past to Bao'er."
Only then did Xia Baoer understand the cause and effect of the matter.
She asked: "Mom, where does this benefactor, grandfather, live now? Is he far away from us?"
"There is a distance. If you take a carriage, it will take a month to get. If you take the water road, I am afraid it will take half a month. He lives in Ling'an County."
Ling'an County? Isn't that the fiefdom given to her by her father?
Xia Baoer pondered for a moment, and then she took the initiative to hold Concubine Hui's hand.
"Mother, since he is a benefactor, then Bao'er will accompany you to see him!"
Concubine Hui was shocked and shook her head quickly: "My mother has a different status now and it is difficult to leave the palace."
Xia Baoer said: "Dad will understand! Baoer went and told him that we should go back in casual clothes and not tell our identities.
I'm going to see my benefactor, grandpa, and then I'll take my mother for a walk around my fiefdom. Let's just relax, okay? ”
The update is complete! Guys, vote! Baoer and Afei are going out together!
