Chapter 450 Heavenly Tragedy 16
Also known as "Marriage is the Grave of Love" Zhang Baotong 2016.7.4
Letters full of fiery words flew towards her, and like every woman in love, Eloise poured out into Abelard's bosom with childlike trust. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info for a while, rumors about them began to spread, which would have been unimaginable in the 12th century, when their parents arranged marriages.
Pope St. Jerome once said, "We are always the last to know about the sins of our families, because we are always ignorant of the sins of our wives and children, even though our neighbours have long been talking about them." "Yes, no matter how tightly guarded an event is. But there will always be a day when paper can't hold the fire. Like Abelard and Eloise's love has developed to this point, it has not been discovered by Fulbert for a long time. This is very abnormal. For two people in love, no matter how well they keep it secret, their relationship will be discovered very quickly. Maybe they don't know it themselves, but they will unconsciously expose the relationship and secrets between the two in their eyes and conversations with their lovers, or even in their unconscious performances. Because the tone of two people in love is different from ordinary people, and the eyes of each other are also different from ordinary people. Because they kiss intimately, and even make a personal promise, they have long broken the boundaries between men and women. This boundary is an insurmountable red line between the two. Although this red line is not visible, it can be perceived and felt with the eyes and senses of ordinary people. What boundaries are there between Abelard and Eloise in terms of their intimacy? There is nothing that the discerning man cannot see, unless he wants to turn a blind eye.
In fact, even Abelard himself has long realized that their relationship has been perceived. For he knew it from the way the maid and the cook looked at him and Eloise. Yes, something so obvious can hardly deceive anyone, but it is strange that Fulbert alone is still in the dark. Perhaps this is because he dotes on his niece too much, or perhaps he believes too much in Abelard's character and character. Because he had been extremely temperate in the past, and his conduct was very good. It can be said that this humiliation is Fulbert's self-brewed bitter wine.
As we know, it is difficult to keep a lot of things from many people all the time.
Late that night, when Abelard and Eloise were kissing each other in bed, they heard footsteps in the aisle. In fact, the footsteps are not heard, but felt. Because Abelard has an amazing and keen sense of observation and sensibility. So he told Eloise to be silent, and put his ear to the bed and listened quietly. The footsteps seemed to be walking in front of his door, and then stopped. He coughed deliberately. Then he heard someone walking briskly from his door toward the east. He immediately got out of bed and went to the door, and when he opened it gently, he saw that the maid Ramani had entered the house and closed the door, but the light in her room was still on.
Apparently, the fact that they were together had already been seen by Ramani. Abelard said to Eloise, "Our affairs have finally been exposed. ”
"She seems to have been suspicious of our affairs for a long time," said Eloise, "and the other day she had secretly read in her study the poems you had written for me. ”
Abelard said in a reproachful tone, "Why don't you burn those poems?"
Eloise said, "Even if I burn my hair, I will not burn your poems." So saying, she put on her dress, put her arm around Abelard's neck, and asked, "My dear, what do you say if my uncle knows about us?"
Abelard took Eloise in his arms and said, "I have caused all this, I am seducing you, and I will explain it to him." ”
Eloise disagreed, saying, "It's going to be very bad for your reputation." Otherwise, let's say it's our own wish. ”
Ablaar said, "No, then your uncle will punish you severely, and there is nothing he can do to me." ”
The two of them discussed it together for a long time, but no matter how much they discussed, they couldn't think of a better way. Because there's no good way to do it at all.
Early the next morning, Eloise saw that the door of Ramani's room had just opened, and entered her room. Ramani asked very weakly, "Miss, is there something wrong?"
Eloise said with a serious expression, "Ramani, what do you think I do to you?"
"Very well," said Ramani, "Mademoiselle. ”
Eloise said, "I know you've discovered my secret from me and Abelard, so I want you to keep it a secret from us." ”
Ramani said, "I have already found out about you, and the cook and the coachman have known about it. Only your uncle doesn't know. Really, I don't lie to you. ”
Eloise asked, "How do they know?"
"I don't know, but they really know." ”
"But you are to keep it secret from us," said Eloise. ”
Ramani said, "I will." ”
So Eloise took off the beads she wore around her neck and gave them to Ramani, which were made of fine pearls, a gift from her uncle for her birthday a few years earlier. However, it was this string of pearls that caused them trouble.
That night, Abelard was tutoring Eloise in class. As we said earlier, their counseling is just a disguise and a cover, and all they really do is love each other. So, as the two of them hugged each other and kissed together, suddenly, the door was slammed open. This simply could not have happened in the past. Because they won't be disturbed when they are studying, and even if someone comes to disturb, they will knock politely on the door. Then they will calmly part and say, "Please come in." ”
However, this time he did not knock on the door, and pushed it open. Naturally, the two of them were caught off guard, and they were caught alive. Whoever would dare to push the door in without knocking so boldly? Fulbert, of course, Eloise's uncle. Apparently he already knew about them, otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed the door in such a brutal way.
It turned out that Ramani had worn the pearl that Eloise had given her that day around her neck to shine. No, Fulbert saw it, and he called Ramani to his house and asked her where she got the pearls. Because he spent a lot of money a few years ago to buy it for his beloved niece Eloise. So, he suspects that the pearls were stolen by Ramani from Eloise. Ramani said that the pearl was given to her by Eloise. But Fulbert didn't believe it, for he didn't think it was possible for Eloise to give her such a valuable item. Forced to desperation, Ramani told her why Eloise gave her the pearl.
