Chapter 422: Why?
Although Sheng Lanci knew about his father-in-law's ruthless plan as early as last year, after the analysis of his father-in-law, Mrs. Feng, he also confirmed the matter through clues under the guidance of Mrs. Feng.
But at this moment, when listening to my father's personal testimony, I still felt that the blood in my whole body rushed into my brain all at once!
He had imagined many times before the scene when father and son reunited and asked the bottom of the matter.
Maybe Mrs. Sheng won't admit it, maybe Mrs. Sheng will cry bitterly, maybe...... But I didn't expect the old lady to say it so calmly and simply.
Sheng Lanci had done a lot of thinking about coping, and at that time he thought that he would be angry, crazy, roaring, and questioning......
But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, looking at his father in front of him, who was full of worries but didn't have much guilt and chagrin expression, Sheng Lan opened her mouth, but tears couldn't be suppressed!
In just a moment, he was already in tears, and tears blurred his vision, but he tried hard to keep an eye on Old Lady Sheng, and struggled for a while before he asked a vague sentence with difficulty: "Why?!"
Why do you do that?
Why would you do that?
Why do you have to repeat the tragedy of your original wife?!
Why have you remained so calm until now, and you don't even have the slightest intention of gaffe?!
Why do you want to shatter the harmonious and peaceful life that many people dream of with your own hands?!
Why......
Sheng Lanci only asked one "why", but there were countless "whys" in his heart, he really couldn't understand, even if the original plan of Mrs. Sheng was successfully implemented, even if the result was the destruction of Ruru, but what would be the situation of the Sheng family?
The three families in Nanfeng County have always lived next to each other, and they have been neighbors for many generations, and they are still in-laws with each other, and they are no longer clear about each other's temper.
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng were safe, not to mention Xuan Yu's family and the Feng family, that is, the Feng family had a clear attitude of refusing to give up.
If Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng really have three longs and two shortcomings...... It is strange that the two families did not tear the Sheng family to pieces, except for the Feng family and Sheng Weiyuan, including him Sheng Lanci!!
What kind of obsession is it that makes Old Lady Sheng desperate to this point?!
Sheng Lanci suddenly felt that this father, who had almost never been separated for a long time, was inexplicably strange.
“…… You were born in the imperial examination, and you are a civil official. Old lady Sheng quietly watched her son cry, and after a while, she sighed happily, waved her hand and said, "You won't understand." ”
When Sheng Lan heard this, there was a moment of chaos in her mind, but she calmed down a little and laughed miserably: "Daddy used this to prevaricate the child? The child bets that if Uncle Xu is replaced, he will not do it if he is killed!"
".................." This time, Old Lady Sheng was silent for a longer time, but did not continue to answer, only asked, "They all know, so what does it mean now?" Luo family...... Is it because of them?"
"What do they mean now, the child doesn't know!" Sheng Lanci took a deep breath, raised his sleeves, wiped his face indiscriminately, and said, "As for the Luo family, it's not Yuan'er's Yue family anyway, the second room has already been separated, isn't it natural that the child doesn't care about this matter?"
Looking up at Old Lady Sheng, seeing that he was frowning and looking very annoyed, Sheng Lanci felt cold in her heart, calmed down, and re-said, "And where does the child have the time to take care of other people's affairs now? The child has no time to worry about his daughter!!
"After all, Daddy's original generosity was not only his own granddaughter, but also Mizhen's sacrifice!"
"We can all see this matter, let alone Mizhen?"
"Now he still needs the help of our family, and he has a good relationship with the obedient girl, so he doesn't care!"
"But the world is unpredictable, and if it were years from now, who knows what it will be like?"
"Originally, our family married Wanguan family property, and in recent years, we have also given all our support to Xijiang, how can we ensure that we can be carefree with Ruibin, even if Mizhen ascends to the ninth five-year level, there is a change of heart, and the fault is not madness, but also to remember this friendship!"
"But Daddy ...... on a whim but ruined it all!!"
Sheng Lan looked at Mrs. Sheng fixedly, and said hesitantly, "Those who come to the top are all bad and not good." No one can guarantee that Micha will be different...... Daddy, thanks to you, in this life, I am afraid that I will not be able to blind my eyes until I die, for fear that after I go, I will be obedient...... will be abandoned to Micha because of this...... Are you satisfied?"
".............................." Old lady Sheng glanced back at him, he couldn't see his joy and anger, father and son looked at each other for a moment, he didn't say anything.
Sheng Lanci waited for a while, waited for a while, and seeing that he never meant to speak, he stood up, paused, and said, "The child retires!"
I left without looking back.
He didn't hear Old Lady Sheng call his voice, so he never stopped or turned his head, and he didn't know that the moment he turned around, there were tears in the old lady's eyes.
After Sheng Lan resigned and walked away, the old servant Lao Zheng walked in quietly.
He was not surprised when he saw the old lady who was covering his eyes with his hands, but could not cover the water stains on his cheeks, but sighed: "Why don't you tell the old lady in detail about the past? The old man has always been filial to you, and he will understand your heart knot!"
"He's not going to understand. Old lady Sheng choked up for a long time before he said in a low voice, "If he changed his situation back then, would he leave the dew and go to the north to join the army?"
Lao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Of course not!"
"yes, he won't. The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "At most, he will donate money and materials, but he will never leave his newlywed wife on the battlefield...... I just thought that Hui Niang would leave such a little bit of blood and bones, and I must not let him pass on my sex, otherwise the sword will have no eyes, in case he also wants to join the army, and finally when the two armies are fighting, there is a good one, so how can I go to see Hui Niang?!"
"It's because I've always encouraged him to follow the literature, but fortunately he does have the talent to study, and he has no interest in the battlefield!"
It's not that I look down on them as scholars, but as the old saying goes, 'every righteous person slaughters more dogs, and more people who are negative are scholars', is not unreasonable...... Lan Ci was born in a school, and in the past 20 years, he has been obsessed with business, and he has long been accustomed to considering everything from the perspective of interests. ”
"A choice like mine, which is desperate to gain or lose...... How could he understand?"
"Then tell him about the fierceness of the northern Xinjiang, and the blood feud between my Da Mu and Ru Ru...... He couldn't even understand it. ”
"What's more, of course I can say that Hui Niang died in childbirth that year, and she went to the delivery room in peacetime. And how many women in villages and even towns in northern Xinjiang escaped dystocia, but died together with their children who were waiting to be fed in Ruru's torture and killing, and died silently and without dignity, but how do you think Lan Ci will feel when he hears it?"
"He would think that those people are not Hui Niang, not him, not Qiao Er, not the old lady of the Xuan Yu family, not Mi Zhen killed, why do you want Hui Niang and Qiao Er to bear this weight?!"
The old lady exhaled and said a little tiredly, "A person's experience has a person's perception and a person's choice...... This is my choice, not his, and I don't want to force him to be like me at this time, after all, what I have been most afraid of for many years is that he is too much like me, he is very good now, husband and wife are loving, and both children are ...... I can't change my temperament, I'm destined to hurt the people around me, and I don't want my children to follow in my footsteps anyway. ”
"Fortunately, I'm old and won't bother them for a few more years. ”
Lao Zheng was sad when he heard this, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "It's just that the two families are angry with the eldest prince a little too much." ”
"This family affair was originally agreed on by the face of Mizhen, and if the Luo family knew what I had done, Bacheng would also try to repent of the marriage. Old lady Sheng was a little discouraged at this time, but there was no fluctuation in Wen Yan's marriage with high hopes, so he only said lightly, "If it really can't be done at this time, forget it...... Left and right Lance is not angry, and De'er is honest and honest, so he can't suppress this father at all. When I was with the Ming family and Lan Ci, I could still keep an eye on Lance, but now Lan Ci is obviously alienated and tired of Lance under the words of those two families......"
"How many more years can I live with Ming?"
"I can't help De'er for long, De'er can't control his father by himself, even if he marries the daughter of Gaomen, he will definitely be dragged down by him. If he dissolves the marriage contract with the Luo family this time, he will choose a rich girl in the county who is both talented and beautiful, and spicy and promising...... This also made those two angry. ”
He paused, "You go back to Ming's about this and let her do it." The marriage between De'er and the Luo family was decided by me, and the two families would do this, and eighty percent of them came to me. Next, I don't care about the big and small things in the family, especially the children's family affairs, and I can't take care of them. ”
Old lady Sheng thought very clearly here, the Xuan Yu family and the Feng family obviously did not intend to pretend that nothing had happened, and even his eldest daughter-in-law Feng and granddaughter Sheng Weiqiao might not be able to pass this hurdle.
In this case, he also wants to keep Sheng Weide's relationship with the Luo family, as well as a series of other benefits from the big house and the sleeping crane, which is both extravagant and greedy.
It's better to simply let the sufferer seek justice...... Anyway, he did lose money, and he was not wronged by this.
However, Mrs. Ming found it difficult to accept!
She just heard Lao Zheng pass the word in the past, saying that if the family affair with the Luo family doesn't work, forget it, and the whole person almost jumped up: "This family affair was not decided yesterday and yesterday, and the three media and six certificates are almost gone, if it weren't for the Chang'an Rebellion, the girls of the Luo family wouldn't have said anything, maybe they would be mothers like Qiao'er......! Tell me, why can't this work?!Is this bullying De'er honest and honest?!"
At that time, I was going to the inn to find the Luo family theory!
Lao Zheng had no choice but to ask her to retreat and explain the reason in a low voice......
