Chapter 58: The Past Is Contemptible
That Mrs. Han is a taboo in the Dingyang Marquis Mansion, almost no one will mention it, even if there is no annual memorial. So at this time, Rong Xia heard Pei Jinzhi take the initiative to mention his mother, and his heart couldn't help but touch, and he said softly: "The young master's mother must love you very much, and she is a very gentle person!"
Pei Jinzhi's face, which had always been indifferent when he heard this, couldn't help but show a faint sense of amazement, and he only sighed: "Mother is weak, never fights with others, and is the most gentle and kind person. You're very similar to her in this regard. ”
I, like the young master's mother?
Rong Xia couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"It's a pity that in this world, good people have never lived long. Pei Jinzhi gently put the little chicken in the palm of his hand on the bookcase in front of him, and the corners of his mouth raised a sneer: "So it's better to be a bad guy!"
"Not really. Rong Xia obviously disagreed with his point of view: "There is a good saying, good and evil will be rewarded in the end." You are gentle with the world, and the world is also gentle with you, so it's better to be a good person!"
Pei Jinzhi looked at Rong Xia, who was saying innocent words, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal an undeniable smile.
"Do you know how my mother died?"
Maybe the candlelight at this moment is too gentle, maybe the atmosphere at this time is very suitable for telling the past, maybe it is because the fluffy chick on the table has aroused his feelings, Pei Jinzhi actually has the urge to spit out the past.
"It is rumored that Mrs. Fuzhong died of a violent illness. Rong Xia frowned and asked cautiously, "Could it be that there is something else hidden in this?"
"Sick and dying?" Pei Jinzhi sneered, he looked directly into Rong Xia's eyes, and his voice was filled with a faint evil breath: "Mother was strangled to death." ”
Rong Xia took two steps back in shock, covered his lips and trembled: "How, how come?"
"The person who strangled her was none other than his husband, my own father!"
Pei Jinzhi, who said this, couldn't help but think of all kinds of pictures back then. He will always remember that day when he was sitting in the room talking with his mother, who was sewing a garment for him with a needle and thread in her hand, and he was reciting the text given to him by his husband with a slight ostentatiousness, and at that moment the man kicked in the door, and rushed in like a madman, his eyes were red, and he was full of anger, which was a murderous look.
"My mother cried out, but he turned a deaf ear and kicked at me, and I was kicked to the side of the screen, spitting blood. The screen slammed down on top of me, obscuring my vision, but my mother's crying and begging for mercy was heard clearly, and I desperately tried to move the screen, but it was too heavy to move it no matter how hard I struggled. I listened to my mother's cries grow louder and smaller, and finally disappeared, and I could no longer hear clearly......"
"Young master, don't say it again......" Rong Xia burst into tears in an instant.
She simply couldn't imagine it. How did the young Pei Jinzhi watch his mother being strangled to death by his father under the collapsed screen.
"Look at you, I didn't cry, you cried first. Pei Jinzhi shook his senses from his memories, looked at Rong Xia, who was crying like a little flower cat in front of him, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and beckoned to her: "Come here......"
Rong Xia shed tears and was hugged by him on his lap.
Pei Jinzhi buried his head in her hair and said softly: "Okay, don't cry." ”
Rong Xia felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she was originally a very soft person, but at this time, she was poked by Pei Jinzhi and cried, and her tears couldn't stop: "Why did the master kill his wife? Why did he kill his wife...... Did Madame just die in vain?"
Mrs. Han was strangled alive, but Second Master Pei was unscathed, and later married Xu Xian and had children, is this fair and just
"My mother came from a businessman, and my grandfather was the only daughter of her, and my mother was lonely after my grandfather's death. And the murder of his wife is a big scandal, how can the Hou Mansion not cover it up in order to take care of his reputation. "So in the end, it became Mrs. Han who died of illness?
"As for why that person wanted to kill his mother...... Pei Jinzhi's face flowed with a burst of infiltrating coldness in a place that Rong Xia couldn't see: "It's because he believes that his mother committed adultery with someone many years ago, and he was cuckolded, and I am my mother and that adulterer." The son of a son born to a husband. ”
"Impossible!" Rong Xia said subconsciously.
Mrs. Han is gentle and graceful, how could she do such a thing as betraying her husband and stealing from a man.
"What is the evidence?
"Evidence**Where is there any evidence, that person is just hearsay, he only hates him for being ruthless, and he didn't give my mother any chance to defend herself, so he killed him!"
Just listen to a few nonsense words from others and do such a thing as killing his wife. Although Rong Xia felt incredible in her heart, as long as she thought of the crazy Second Master Pei, she couldn't help but believe it. Rong Xia turned out to be a disabled person, so she knew best that there were many people who were distorted because of their physical disabilities, of course, there must be more self-improvement, but Second Master Pei obviously did not belong to the latter. was lame by the maid in the mansion, so he beat people to death, forcibly accepted other people's women as concubines, and even ran to Luzhuxuan in broad daylight with the intention of mistreating himself, this kind of thing all shows what a lawless and crazy person Pei Er Master is.
It's a pity that Mrs. Han, a good person died unjustly like this.
“…… So the second master and the old lady are so bad to the young master!"
"Huh...... If it weren't for the fact that Master Hou believed that my mother was innocent, tried his best to protect me, and later sent me far away to Bailu Academy, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to see the young master and me now. ”
"How can they be like this, how can they be like this!" Rong Xia's eyes were red, and for the first time in his heart, a feeling called hatred appeared: "Obviously he did something wrong, why didn't he get punished, why can he enjoy the peaceful life with peace of mind, enjoy the glory and wealth." ”
But Mrs. Han was buried deep in the cold soil, and the young Pei Jinzhi left alone. What about heavenly justice?
"So since then, I have understood a truth, there is actually no fairness and justice in this world, the so-called fairness and justice are only in the hands of those powerful people, if you want not to be mermaids, if you want to take revenge, you have to grasp the power, so that those who have bullied you and want to kill you are restless day and night, so that you can finally get revenge one day. ”
"Young Master......" Rong Xia was hugged by him tightly, but he was sad in his heart.
Witnessing his mother's death and his powerlessness at the time of his mother's death had left an indelible mark on his heart. In the face of this tragic past, no matter how much truth there is, it is empty words, so all Rong Xia can do at this time is to hug him harder. It seems that only in this way can he be comforted a little, and can he no longer seem so painful. The two of them hugged each other quietly, and I don't know how long later, there was a sudden sound of chirping on the table...... But it was the little yellow chicken that had been forgotten for a long time, trembling and screaming.
Pei Jinzhi let go of the hands holding Rong Xia, turned his head and glanced at the little chicken, at this moment, he seemed to be back to his old self, and said a little funny: "I look at it, it seems to be hungry." ”
"It's good to feed the newborn chicks some water or something. Rong Xia looked at him deeply, wiped away his tears, and got off his knees with some embarrassment.
This night, Rong Xia slept very unsteadily. A lot of thoughts and thoughts were churning in his mind, and although the reason why the second master and the old lady were so disgusted with Pei Jinzhi was answered, however, the question of the heart was also born, recalling Pei Jinzhi's expression when he talked about it.
Rong Xia always had a feeling that he must have something to say and something hidden in it.
Because his hatred is so profound, it is not only against the second master, it seems that there is also ......
******************************************************************************
Knowing the consequences of Pei Jinzhi's "past", that is, when facing him again, Rong Xia's heart became softer, if the original feelings for him were mixed with the secret admiration of worship, then now this relationship has a little bit of distress and a trace of pity.
All in all, Rong Xia was even better to Pei Jinzhi.
It's just obedient and well-cared for.
For this, Pei Jin knew very well, not only did he feel uncomfortable, but he had a feeling of happiness to see it. In this way, in this peaceful and quiet farmhouse courtyard where no outsiders disturb them, the relationship between the two has unconsciously deepened. After another four or five days, the farming work was completely over, the grain in the fields was also put into storage, and all the affairs were properly arranged.
Rong Xia also asked people to sort out the vegetable garden in the backyard and plant a large number of autumn vegetables.
"Carpenter?" Jin Hua put a basket of fried peanuts and melon seeds on the table: "What is the master looking for a carpenter to do, is it to make something?"
"Well, seeing that the sky is about to cool down, I want to make a sturdy dog house for Wishing you prosperity. ”
"In this way, the master can rest assured, this living honeysuckle can be done!"
Rong Xia showed a surprised expression when she heard this: "Yinhua, a little girl, can she also do woodwork?"
"The master doesn't know, our father was a carpenter when he was alive, my sister is quiet, she likes to study, and her father often helps when he works, and everyone can't beat it, but it's not bad at all to do something like this!"
"It turns out that our Yinhua is so capable!" Rong Xia looked at the little girl standing on the side, showing an approving smile.
Yinhua's face flushed in an instant, and she looked very shy.
is also disabled, Yinhua's fate is even more miserable, but she can maintain her good side.
Therefore, it is not terrible for a person's body to be disabled, but it is terrible for a person's heart to be disabled.
