Chapter 50: You Are My Brother
With Li Lang holding Mrs. Li in tow, Murong Qingxue arrived outside Li Linfeng's door very lightly. Just as he was about to knock on the door, an old man's voice came from inside the door: "Miss Mu, since you are here, please come in." ”
Murong Qingxue pushed the door in, Li Linfeng turned his back to him, cutting his hands back, it seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time. Although he is only in his forties, he must be older than his father. Is this the man my mother liked back then?
Li Linfeng turned around, looked at Murong Qingxue carefully, for a long time, and said with a smile: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, girl, it should be surnamed Murong, right?" ”
Murong Qingxue did not refute and nodded.
Li Linfeng smiled: "Sure enough, you are so old." She, okay? ”
"She? I don't know which one Uncle Li is talking about? In your opinion, should she be good, or should she be bad? Murong Qingxue stared at his eyes and asked word by word. She felt that it was too far-fetched to ask this question at this time. Doesn't he know if his mother is doing well or not?
Li Linfeng was obviously surprised by Murong Qingxue's answer, but after pondering for a while, he still nodded helplessly.
"Did she let you come? I thought she wouldn't want to talk about me for the rest of her life. ”
"She doesn't want to mention you, but, do you know that that night more than ten years ago made her lonely." Murong Qingxue's tone was cold, and she did not hide her resentment towards the person in front of her.
Li Linfeng sighed and did not defend himself, as if admitting the accusation against himself.
Murong Qingxue asked: "Back then, what was going on, why did my mother meet you on the eve of her marriage." And why, I was bumped into by my father. You listen carefully to me. ”
Li Linfeng's eyes were gloomy, and after a while, as if he had made a lot of determination, he motioned for Murong Qingxue to sit down, poured a cup of tea for her, and then said slowly: "Yanran and I, childhood sweethearts, have no guesses, and we like each other." However, she was an orphan girl, and my family had a lot of money, and my father did not approve of our marriage. I eloped with her, but somehow the news leaked, and my father arrested me and put me under house arrest. Despite my efforts, I was unable to convince my father. Later, I learned that my father had approached Yanran and said something serious to her. Alas, Yanran was disheartened, and perhaps, it was me who really made her disheartened. I finally compromised with my father, and she gave up. Then she met your father, and to be precise, she saved your father. Your father proposed to her, and she agreed. ”
Li Linfeng's gaze was very affectionate, recalling the old past.
"And then?"
"Later, I learned the news that Yanran was going to get married, and I was very sad, but after all, I was the one who lost her. I wanted to talk to her clearly, but I didn't have the courage. Unexpectedly, the day before she got married, she asked me to meet in the grove, and I was very excited. When I arrived, I saw Yanran waiting there. It's just that before I could speak, she showed that she didn't want to have anything to do with me in this life. I wondered why she was so determined when she had asked me to come. I explained to her my grievances, but she turned grim and refused. I pulled her and wanted her to believe me, but at this moment, Murong Bai and Jiang Xinyue arrived. Yanran broke free from my hand and ran to Murong Bai's side. I haven't seen her since. ”
"Since my mother has drawn a line with you, why do you still want to entangle with her wishful thinking?" Murong Qingxue was very angry, if he hadn't pulled and pulled with his mother, his father would not suspect that they were entangled.
Li Linfeng stopped talking, and the unwillingness of his youth created this misunderstanding. Therefore, in response to Murong Qingxue's questioning, he had nothing to say.
"And then?" Murong Qingxue asked.
"Later, I married Zhixi, who is now my wife. Zhixi's surname is Qin, and she has been very good to me since she was a child, but I only have Yanran in my heart, so I ignore her. After she saw Yanran leave, I borrowed wine all day long to kill my sorrows, so she often comforted me that Yiren was gone, and it didn't matter who she married, so I married her. ”
Murong Qingxue fell into deep thought, and the regret on the face of the old man in front of her made her unbearable to blame, after all, he was Brother Lang's father. But if he hadn't gone to the appointment, how could there have been any of these things?
That's right, to the appointment. And who told him to go to the appointment?
As soon as these words came out, Li Linfeng also remembered. It was the Qin clan who sued her. But, it can't be! The Qin clan has always supported them, how could they frame them? He didn't believe it.
Murong Qingxue sneered: "Don't forget, you said that she has been very good to you since she was a child, and didn't she also get her wish to become Mrs. Li?" "A woman's jealousy, Murong Qingxue has been taught, so if you want to say that the Qin family can do this, she doesn't doubt it at all.
So, who is the person who informs the mother? Murong Qingxue also asked her mother this question, and she said that she saw Li Linfeng's note in the marriage room.
It seems that this question can only be asked by the Qin family.
Li Linfeng also found out something strange and agreed to go with Murong Qingxue to investigate.
The Qin family was in a deep relationship with Li Lang's mother and son at this time, and when they saw Li Linfeng and Murong Qingxue coming together, they probably guessed something in their hearts. Because his son was beside him, he smiled and said, "Master, it's so late, why did you come with Miss Mu, but what do you have to ask about the concubine?" ”
Li Linfeng nodded, signaling Murong Qingxue to speak directly.
"Mrs. Li, my name is Murong Qingxue, maybe you don't know me, but I believe that you should remember that there was a person more than ten years ago, her name is Liu Yanran." Murong Qingxue said lightly, observing Qin's expression. Sure enough, when Qin Shi heard her name, his face changed, and when he heard Liu Yanran's name again, the cup in his hand finally couldn't hold it steadily, and it fell to the ground with a "snap".
The crisp sound makes the atmosphere quiet and terrifying, even more oppressive.
Qin bent down awkwardly to pick up the fragments of the cup, but Li Lang took the lead. Li Lang was also infinitely surprised in his heart, and accidentally made a cut in his hand by the fragments, and suddenly, a bad premonition came to his heart.
"Mrs. Li, I don't have any malice, I understand women's jealousy. I just want to know how you framed Uncle Li and my mother back then. Murong Qingxue's gaze looked straight at the Qin clan like a knife, filling her heart with fear, and her thoughts went back to that night more than ten years ago.
"If you don't say it, I also know that you must have gained Uncle Li's trust before, making him believe that you are sincere in helping them. That's why you can implement your plan so easily, as long as you say it, he will definitely believe it. ”
Li Linfeng is in front, and the Qin clan can't deny it. Looking at her appearance, she undoubtedly acquiesced in this matter.
Li Linfeng slapped his palm on the table and pointed at her with his finger: "Zhixi, Zhixi, why are you doing this?" Do you know that this will harm Yanran's life? ”
Qin Shi cried: "Yes, it's my fault, but master, she threatened me with your life, as long as I don't do what she says, you will die." You say, how do I choose? ”
"Who is he?" Murong Qingxue asked, a person appeared in her mind at the same time, she looked at the Qin family, and the Qin family nodded: "That's right, it's the general's wife." She threatened me to do as she was told, and told me to give her the Master's Codex, I didn't know what she was going to do, but I could only listen to her. She's the general's wife, how easy is it for her to kill us, why shouldn't I listen to her? She promised me that if I helped her this time, she would spare our whole family, and that's all I could do, sir. ”
It turned out to be really her. Jiang, you really have good intentions. Use a woman's jealousy to achieve your own ends. In this way, even if the father marries the mother, he will certainly not treat her well. It was precisely because of that scene that he and his mother were lonely for more than ten years. Jiang, you, good! Murong Qingxue said with hatred in her heart.
Looking at the two people in front of him who caused his lonely fate, Murong Qingxue's heart churned.
"Qingxue, please don't embarrass them." Li Lang looked at her and did not ask her, but pleaded with her. He knew she was struggling, but he had to.
Murong Qingxue looked at Li Lang, she couldn't refuse him, but she couldn't leave it at that. After thinking for a short time, he said to Li Linfeng: "Uncle Li, then you write these things truthfully, and when I return to the General's Mansion, I will make these people pay the price!" ”
Li Linfeng already regretted it, and nodded immediately, although he knew that the Jiang family might want to take revenge, but he should repay the sins he had created.
Qin looked at Li Lang, then at Murong Qingxue, and finally agreed. Immediately took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote out the events of the year. Murong Qingxue held this testimony that had carried her seventeen years of pain, and her eyes filled with tears. I thought silently in my heart, mother, when I go back, I will return our innocence. As for her life experience, since her mother has said it clearly, as long as she drops blood and tests her relatives, she will definitely be able to clarify. Therefore, she doesn't need to ask Li Linfeng for verification of this matter.
Exiting the Qin family's room, Murong Qingxue was stunned. She thought that her mother was not worth it, why she had never thought of clarifying it for so many years. Maybe it's because I'm disappointed, so I don't care.
Li Lang walked quietly with her, he understood her mood at this time, and expressed his gratitude for her tolerance. walked to the door of the room, Li Lang saw her inside, but seeing that she was still unrelenting, he finally felt at ease, so he went in to sit with her.
"Qingxue, now that the matter has been clarified, you don't want to do this again. Why don't you help Brother Lang peel an apple for you? So saying, he took a knife and an apple.
Seeing this, Murong Qingxue smiled at him: "It's okay, Brother Lang, you don't have to worry about me." I'll do it anyway. ”
As he spoke, he went to his hand to take the knife, how could Li Lang let her who was not willing to give up her to sharpen it, and if it was injured, he would not give it to her. While the two were shirking, Murong Qingxue's hand was suddenly cut by a knife, and suddenly, blood flowed out.
Li Lang was shocked and hurriedly cleaned her, but Murong Qingxue was not nervous, as if she didn't know that it hurt. I just saw his hand, and said, "Brother Lang, your hand is also bleeding." ”
Li Lang looked at it and said with a smile: "I met it when I picked up the teacup just now, it doesn't matter." ”
After cleaning, Li Lang helped her with medicine and bandage, and comforted: "Qingxue, I applied the elixir of our Medicine King Valley for you, and this wound will be healed tomorrow." ”
Murong Qingxue nodded and smiled at him, and Li Lang was relieved when he saw the smile.
But at this moment, her face changed, she looked up at Li Lang, and muttered, "You are my brother?" ”
Li Lang scratched her nose with his hand: "You call me Brother Lang, I am naturally your brother." ”
Murong Qingxue didn't answer, and pointed to the basin where the wound was cleaned just now in a daze, Li Lang was surprised, and looked inward, his own blood and Murong Qingxue's blood were actually fused.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, what is going on?
