Chapter 17: Awakening
Everything in Yiying's mouth made Yichen frightened.
Because she heard the conversation between Min Yuan and Fang Ruhai, she knew in her heart that Yiying never grew up in Tang Muyi, but she never thought that she was living such a hard life. I didn't expect that this kind of past, which can be called a secret, would tell herself so frankly, even if it was because of anger.
Yi Ying's eyebrows did not have half a look of remorse. Things have developed to the point where they don't wake her up, it will only hurt herself and the people who care about her.
"I just want to tell you that I have never owed you anything, let alone double-faced. The suffering I have suffered is far beyond what you, a pampered eldest lady, can imagine, so there is no sense of superiority to speak of. ”
Yi Chen opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. Yes, if what she said was true, her own little caution would be ridiculous. If that kind of thing happened to her, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear any of it......
"I was kind to you before, not because I just returned home and didn't have a firm foothold to be raised under my mother's knees, nor because I wanted you to lower your guard so that I could wait for an opportunity to harm you, and it wasn't because I was very speculative at first sight and wanted to be a sister in the boudoir, but because you and I have the same surname, and you have done your filial piety for me under my father's knee for nine years, and I, as my father's child, need to be grateful and respectful. ”
Yi Chen was silent.
It was true that she was too impulsive, and she lost her mind when she heard about that person, and now that she thinks about it, the words she said are really childish.
As Yi Ying said, born in a hairpin family, if you are not a mother and compatriots, there is no real brotherhood and sisterhood at all, and human affection and righteousness are often much more real than those.
She began to believe her somewhat with what she said.
"The key to the change in your mother's attitude towards you is not me, but yourself. Have you forgotten how your mother treated you when I first came back?"
When I first came back......
Yi Chen was a little stunned.
At that time, Yiying said that she wanted to live with her, and her mother was very happy, and she would be brought to the banquet and personal exchanges at that time......
It seems that she is not bent on compensating her daughter for temporarily indifferent to her idea of being an heir, but is afraid that she will feel wronged, and strive to make a bowl of water even. If...... If she is Yiying, will she feel more aggrieved?
Yi Ying looked at her look, knowing that she was a little loose, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued.
"Do you remember when everything changed?"
Yi Chen lowered his eyes.
How can you not remember?
Isn't it at the Zhang family's flower banquet, where everyone's ridicule and contemptuous eyes swept around her, and in her eyes, after the condescending Yiying came to rescue her?
After that incident, she once disguised herself as a thick-shelled turtle, hiding in her own protective color, and deceived herself to see the location clearly, Yiying was her mother's biological daughter, but the more this idea was repeated, the more sour her her heart became, and I don't know when, so much resentment and pain had been hidden in her heart, and it all broke out today......
What about the mother? What did the mother do at that time?
Yes.
She sent a large number of people to bring her pastries, fabrics, and jewelry, coaxing her as if she was afraid that she would be upset, and hinting at the desire to live peacefully with her sisters. But what about her? She was full of satisfaction and felt that her mother was partial, protecting her own daughter, and turning a blind eye to those little bits and pieces......
It turned out that it was not Xue Yiying who embarrassed her mother, but herself......
Originally, she didn't have to choose one or the other, but she kept going backwards and forced her to make a choice, so this result was just self-inflicted.
"It turned out to be my fault...... It's my fault......" Yi Chen muttered, raised his eyes to look at Yi Ying, and squeezed out a smile and said, "So, my mother gave up on me, right?"
Yiying didn't speak, just looked at the two stacked fabrics on the round table not far away.
Yi Chen followed her gaze and couldn't help but redden.
I don't think so.
She was the one who refused to get closer, so her mother had to watch from a distance, fearing that she would hurt her if she stepped forward, and that if she approached, she would get more bloody consequences......
But what can be given to her, her mother has never been stingy.
As always, ten years as a day.
The one who was blindfolded by jealousy has always been her.
"Xue Yichen, you have to remember that giving birth to grace and nurturing grace are not just an unsolvable problem, and no one can estimate who is light and who is heavy. Many things are done by man, not by heaven. Yi Ying's tone was light, and her eyes looked at her calmly.
Yi Chen looked at the woman in front of him in a daze.
It's smaller than himself, but it seems to have seen through the vicissitudes of many things. She didn't care about sharing the favor between herself and her, and she didn't care about which of the two was more important in her mother's heart, she suddenly felt that she claimed to be familiar with Buddhism, but she was less than half of the wisdom of the person in front of her.
A greedy word made her give birth to so many twists and turns.
"Then what did you tell me about that incident?"
Yiying reacted that she was talking about things in the garden, paused, and said, "It's not that I sent someone to follow you about this matter, but Sister Zhen from Dongfu saw it and told me." ”
"I didn't speculate about you like that......" Yi Chen muttered in a low voice, and was stunned when he heard the second half of the sentence, and looked at Yi Ying without saying anything.
"Don't worry, she is the only one who has seen it, and she is afraid that something will happen, so she specially told me. Although she has a big temperament, she still knows the importance of right and wrong, so you can rest assured. ”
Yi Chen looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you going to do?
"What is not clear, you don't talk nonsense. Yi Chen said busily, but the roots of his ears were slightly red.
"There are some things I don't say, but you must also understand that if you insist on choosing a path, I am afraid that you and that person will no longer be possible. Some things and some people, even if you treat them with your heart and lungs, you will not get anything in return. I'm not threatening you, but you have to figure out for yourself whether you want to take a relatively flat path or grope your way through the dark thorns. ”
Yi Ying sighed, not even thinking about teasing her.
"Alright, I'm done with what I'm going to say, and I'm going back. Your own business, you have to worry about it. Yiying stood up and walked towards the door.
"Why do you want to bother with me?" Yi Chen asked in a low voice.
Yiying paused, and after a while, she slowly turned around and smiled at her: "In the past, I was good to you for the sake of my family, which I regarded as treasures, but now I feel that I still want another family, like my sister." It's really tiring to hold it alone. ”
Yi Chen raised his head and looked at her, his face hesitant.
Yiying didn't say anything more, waved her hand, and stepped out of the threshold.
