Chapter 110: Life and Death

"Yu'er!" my mother's heart-rending voice came, making me regret not falling. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Please, Patriarch, for mercy!" Bowen knelt down.

Father Jiang waved at the patriarch and said respectfully: "Patriarch, the Zheng family and Guo Bowen are childhood sweethearts, the two are happy, the love is sincere, and it is touching, please be kind to the patriarch." ”

"Really?" the old man touched his beard thoughtfully, tilting his body to look at the family tree for a moment.

Just as everyone listened to his conclusion with wide eyes, he straightened up and replied solemnly: "There is no such thing in the clan rules. ”

My tense body instantly relaxed.

There was a clamor in my ears, some talking, some sympathizing, some crying, some laughing, some pleading, some refusing.

I can't hear anything, because those are about to be irrelevant to me.

Among the many voices I heard again the old voice announcing my fate, "Bring me the rope." ”

Someone came with a rope and waited to tie me up.

"No!" I saw my mother standing in front of me, like a queen of the world, and her cold and fearless voice, noble and courageous, "You must not bind her. The state has its own laws. Even if she committed a capital crime, it should be the laws of the Li family that punished her. It should be the public court and the court that killed her. I will be judged in court, but you will not be allowed," the mother glanced coldly at the elders of the family, "you reckless man, kill her in such rude ways. ”

"You ......" the elders were shocked by him. There was nothing to say for a while.

Everyone stayed where they were, even me, and I remember my mother as gentle, weak, and sickly. Weakness and soft-spoken words were all the impressions she gave me.

But at this moment, I feel that I am standing in front of the most noble person in the world.

"Is it?" a female voice interjected, Ye Fu slowly approached everyone's line of sight, and looked at my mother mockingly, "A woman who has lived in an alley for many years, a woman who has been trampled on the bottom of society, is also here to talk about the law and the court? Haha, what a big paper tiger." You said that our noble patriarch is a reckless man, are you insulting the dignity of the Jiang clan?"

The stunned elders came back to their senses. Ye Fu's timely call made them understand that the woman in front of them was not as noble as she appeared. She was just a woman living at the bottom of society, and she had no power to stop them from following the rules.

The old man cleared his throat and spoke again, "The laws of Hangzhou have never interfered much with our big families who have survived for hundreds of years. The country has its own laws, but it also respects family rules. You are the mother of the Zheng family, and it is wrong to think about covering up after making a mistake, and you should educate her well from an early age. Let's go. ”

My mother stayed where she was, watching me get tied up one by one. I could only smile and tell her that I was not sad, but I could not see a little relief in her eyes, only regret, only shame.

I saw my father step forward and make a final effort, "As far as I know, the Jiang family did not marry before the maiden entered, and the six rites were insufficient. After her death, she is not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, her name cannot be entered into the family tree, and she should not be bound by the group rules. ”

"Six rites are insufficient?" the patriarch looked through the family tree again, "If the six rites are insufficient, you are a concubine." is a concubine and a member of the Jiang family, and she must also be subject to the rules of the clan. What's more, we all watched your daughter get married into the door. Among the four wives and concubines of Ancestor Jiangkuo, she is the only one who has entered the scenery, and she doesn't cherish it herself!"

My father stayed where he was.

Old Jiang and his wife were still negotiating with the patriarch, but the patriarch just shook his head. I even saw Jiang Liu come forward to speak for me.

His eyes were hot, and he was moved. Anyway, I did such a shameless thing, and they interceded for me......

"Yu'er!" Bo Wen, who had been in a stunned state, finally came back to his senses. He was only a few years older than me, just a sixteen-year-old boy, and his perennial pampering and concentration on his studies made his mind still have a certain illusory nature. I know that he, who has never tried the warmth and coldness of the world, is unfamiliar and shocked by the situation in front of him, and he is at a loss.

At this time, a few young people finally tied me up like a rice dumpling.

"Alright. They tied a heavy knot in my back and lifted me up, "Report to the patriarch, tie it up."

I still underestimate the bravery of the blog post. I saw him suddenly break free from Guo's mother's support, staggered to his knees in front of the patriarch, and said, "You are mistaken, I forced her! This is not adultery! Do you know what adultery is? We are not adultery............ She didn't do it voluntarily, she was forced by me! You punish me and let her go! Hurry up! Release her and let me go to the sinking pool, I am the one who should sink the pool!"

"Bowen!" Guo's mother never expected her son, who had already stopped, to go crazy again, and she shouted loudly, "Are you crazy?

Mother Jiang tried to pull him away, and at the same time explained to the patriarch: "No, it's her ** my son's, don't you mind!"

The patriarch said without blinking: "Whether it is voluntary or not, your actions have constituted adultery. And according to Ye's description, your statement is not true. ”

Bowen was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly exploded: "You old stubborn!" he pounced to snatch the clan rules in his hand. was held up by several young men and pushed back.

"Alright. The patriarch nodded, no longer caring about the struggling Bowen, turned to me and said, "Zheng, do you have anything else to say?"

I was silent for a moment, and then I looked at my parents, who were stunned and stared at everything in front of them, and they didn't believe that I was going to die like this.

I didn't walk over, I didn't talk to them, I didn't even dare to look them in the eye. I pushed my own lives to the end so easily, only to leave them with eternal and boundless pain.

What can I say?

Say I'm sorry? Oh, it's nothing.

Say thank you? No, it's heartless.

Just let me go. If you don't know how to say goodbye, you won't say goodbye.

I looked around in nothingness, and finally fixed my eyes on Bowen, he was looking at me closely, I slowly walked towards him, crystal tears fell from his eyes, and he cried in despair: "Yu'er, I hurt you, I hurt you!"

As he spoke, he began to cry.

When I saw him like this, I calmed down.

It has always been him as an elder brother who has given me strength, and now my sister can comfort him.

I smiled and wiped the tears from his face, pretending to be light-hearted, "Don't be sad, Brother Bowen. It's not good to cry. ”
