Chapter 125: The Past (2)
Saitama poured Li Yi a cup of tea and put on a deaf posture.
"My uncle and I weren't born of the same thing!"
"What?" Saitama was taken aback by such an opening statement, could it be that his father-in-law was actually a concubine.
"My father is not a concubine. Li Yi added.
"What's going on......? , but this dynasty has always had a rule that concubines cannot be sealed. Li Yi nodded.
"So this is the biggest secret of the Guogong Mansion. ”
"Why is this happening?"
"My grandmother and grandfather have not had any children since they got married, and after a long time, the other rooms of the Guogong Mansion have been eyeing each other. It was at this time that something happened. The grandmother accidentally learns that the grandfather has an outer chamber outside and is pregnant. Grandmother didn't want to swallow this breath and went to her great-grandparents. The great-grandfather didn't stop doing anything, and let the grandmother pretend to be pregnant, and when it was time to give birth, he carried the child from the outer room into the house. ”
"Don't people know?"
At that time, my grandmother had been raising the Zhuangzi under the pretext that her pregnancy was unstable, and the others did not know. ”
"I see, what happened to the outer chamber?"
"That outer chamber is actually the daughter of a general in Beirong, who killed her father during her grandfather's Northern Expedition. She had always thought about avenging her father, and repeatedly assassinated my grandfather. During a failed assassination attempt, he was seriously wounded. Remembering her filial piety, her grandfather did not kill her, but placed her and asked a doctor to heal her. In this way, the two gradually fell in love, but at this time, the great-grandfather set the eldest daughter of Princess Fengyang for his grandfather. The people of Beirong were open, and the general's daughter didn't mind the name, so it became her grandfather's outer room, and later died in childbirth. ”
When Saitama heard this, she not only sighed at what happened to these two women. One is to get the name of husband and wife, and the husband has always hidden another woman in his heart. The other got a man's heart, but he was nameless and shareless all his life, and even his only son was lost. Such a tragedy ruined the happiness of the three people, and Saitama couldn't help but be glad that he was finally able to be with the person he wanted, and the two were happy.
Li Yi was still immersed in his own narration, not paying attention to the changes in Saitama.
His grandmother kept the child with him until he was eight years old, but his grandmother still did not give birth to a son-in-law, so his grandfather asked the emperor to be the son. A year later, my grandmother became pregnant, and in one fell swoop the boy gave birth to my father, but at this time it was impossible to find any excuse to mention the matter of re-canonization. When my grandfather was dying, he called my uncle and father together, told them the cause and effect of the incident, and asked my uncle to return the title to the second room after a hundred years. ”
"Then you should have been made the prince?" Saitama asked, and Li Yi nodded.
"But my father was born indifferent to fame and fortune, and he didn't care about knighthoods, and he was always obsessed with medicine. ”
"No wonder I saw a lot of medical books in your study last time, all of them are from your father-in-law?"
"Hmm. The eldest uncle was different from his father, he was keen on fame, killed the enemy bravely, and soon won the emperor's favor, and married a young lady from the Pingyang Hou family, and was full of ambition. But my father met my mother by chance, and I fell in love with him. Despite her mother's low background, her father insisted on marrying her, and her grandmother had to agree. ”
"I'm afraid that my father-in-law has been reluctant to compete with my uncle for the position of son since then. Li Yi smiled and touched Saitama's hair.
"You know your father's mind, and if he were alive, he would like you. ”
"And then?"
Later, my grandmother died, and my father simply told his uncle about the matter, not wanting to fight for the position of the son of this world, but only wishing for peace between brothers. The eldest uncle was naturally happy and promised to take care of the second room forever and never separate the family. ”
"That's why you watched your mother being ridiculed by your aunt, but you couldn't separate the family. ”
"Yes, you know, how angry I was when I saw my aunt disrespectful to my mother, but a man could not protect his family. Many times I told my mother that I wanted to divide it, but my mother insisted on it, saying that she didn't want to go against my father's wishes. ”
Li Yi's eyes were a little red as he spoke, and Saitama held Li Yi's hands, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Don't be sad, let's work together to stop letting my mother be bullied. ”
"Hmm. I will never let people bully my mother and you again, no one!" Li Yi said as he held Saitama's hand and looked firmly into her eyes.
"I believe in you. Saitama looked at Li Yi with a smile.
"Do you regret not being able to inherit the position of the prince?" Li Yi smiled,
"You know, I once wanted to gain fame and make my wife a shadow, so I studied hard and ignored my aunt's cynicism. I was bent on convincing my mother to split up and live separately, and I believed that I could support my mother. But when I was thirteen years old, I knew that none of this was possible when I read the letters my father had left me. That's why I started ......"
"Start to make people think you're a gentleman. Saitama suddenly made Li Yi startled, but then he smiled.
"It's really a husband and a wife, but the wronged lady married me. Li Yi returned to his usual flamboyant appearance. Saitama was no longer as shy about Li Yi's words as he was when he first got married, but asked
"How did you think of opening a pawnshop?" Saitama simply asked the question in his heart one at a time.
"I met King Fu and were like-minded. But if you want to live a chic life of poetry, books, tea and wine, you also need financial support. So I used the money left by my father to open a Shenglong pawnshop with King Fu, and also opened some restaurants in other places. By the way, the first time I met you, I went to Shandong to deal with some things. ”
Saitama remembered that when the two met for the first time, his carriage was stuck in a pit, and Li Yi helped, and couldn't help but wonder, but he didn't expect that they would have today's result.
Time flies, the two of them talk unconsciously without noticing, or Qiushuang is outside to remind the hour that it is not early, Li Yi and Saiyu realized that the time is not early, thinking that they will have to face the Lian family tomorrow morning, so they hurriedly rest.
The two were lying side by side, Li Yi remembered that in the cave at that time, Saitama said that he wanted a peaceful life, and he confidently thought that he could give it to her, but he didn't expect that in reality, she would inevitably be involved in the family struggle, and he couldn't help but feel guilty about her. Saitama turned his head and saw Li Yi looking at him steadily, puzzled, only to see him stretch out his arm and take himself into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I didn't make it. ”
"What?"
"Makes you happy and peaceful. Saitama smiled.
"No, I'm really happy and happy now. You don't know that when I was in Shandong, I had to worry about my mother dealing with me every day. When I was a child, I was denied food and punished by kneeling, but when I was older, he tried his best to marry me off and refused to let me return to the capital. You know, I almost got ...... Thank you so much. Saitama remembered that she was almost insulted by that Huang Da at that time, and she couldn't help but feel sad and nested in Li Yi's arms.
Li Yi hugged Saitama in his arms and kissed the top of her head.
"It's all over, don't worry about anything in the future, everything is with me. ”
