Chapter 106: Swallowing Gold and Dying
VIP chapter content,
Under the stars and moon, the glass outside the Li Mansion has nothing to do with the Zhou family, she has been standing at the head of Li Shuwen's bed for I don't know how long, looking straight at the sleeping person on the couch, she has just come out of Aunt Shen's grandmother's courtyard, the Shen family has already sent news that Li Zheng's death crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and he will not be allowed to return to the capital after being exiled for three thousand miles...... Zhou's body shook, his hands were on the edge of the bed, and Aunt Shen's words rang in his ears:
"Poisoning one's relatives should have been a capital crime, and being able to live a life is already the limit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhat's more, leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, as long as there is still a breath left, I don't know that there is no chance to turn over in the future...... We underestimated that girl's means...... Don't worry, one day, I will definitely let Zheng'er come back safely. ”
“…… Shut up! It's all going to be, what's the use of crying...... I treat you as a good one, but how do you raise your daughter? Look at what has become of Qiao Yatou? Two good marriages have been ruined like this! A great opportunity will be missed again, I have cultivated you for so many years, and you repay me like this? This Qiao girl...... It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose! It's better to die, and you don't have to worry about ......."
"It is impossible for Wen girl's face to return to its original state, and it is impossible to marry the prince. You go back and persuade her well, and when she recovers from her injuries, I will find her a good family again...... You are her mother, she must listen to you, now the rumors are spreading, you take Wen Yatou back to her hometown in Huizhou to avoid the limelight, live for a few years, and come back when things here have settled to a certain extent......"
Li Shuqiao has been executed in public, and her only remaining daughter is ...... Zhou's whole person is confused, she was born in a small family, and her only reliance is Aunt Shen, and Aunt Shen chose her as her daughter-in-law because she has no background and can control her single-handedly. Now that I'm back in Huizhou's hometown, what should I do with my uncle? Aunt Shen didn't mention a word...... Uncle already has a Lan clan, and now he doesn't even want to look at her. She subconsciously backhanded to touch the scar on her back, Wen'er can still have a good marriage now, her son and two daughters are already overwhelmed, does Aunt Shen want to send their mother and daughter away, and then marry a wife for the uncle?
Zhou's headache was splitting, how could she tell Wen'er? Saying that her face was not getting better, and she was going to take her back to her hometown in Huizhou? When she looked at Wen'er, she was obviously interested in the prince...... This word of love is the curse of a woman's life, and no one can escape it...... The figure on the bed moved, and she shuddered.
Li Shuwen's entire head and face were bandaged like zongzi, and there was an itchy and unbearable stinging pain from the wound, she was too frightened, her body had already collapsed, and she didn't obey the call, and she used all her strength to barely open her eyes. "Mother, why are you ...... here" As soon as the words came out, she pulled the wound on her face, and there was a pain, she remembered what she had experienced this day, her hand touched her cheek, and she only touched the bandaged cloth, "Mother......"
Her eyes looked straight at Zhou, hoping that Zhou would say something like 'You're fine, you'll get better soon' or 'The big wedding is coming, you need to heal your injuries as soon as possible'. Zhou wanted to laugh but couldn't, subconsciously stroked her sideburns, where a few gray hairs had grown prematurely, she sat down stiffly on the edge of Li Shuwen's bed, "Mother can't sleep, I'll come to see you, it's nothing......" Zhou Shi opened his mouth only to find that his voice was rough.
Li Shuwen could only show two eyes at this time, she stared hard, trying to see something from Zhou's face, her face was first poisoned, and then it was cut by Li Shuqiao with a sharp blade...... She trembled: "Mother...... Mother, speak quickly! You are my mother, you can't hide it from me......"
Her voice was sharp and tearing, like that of a trapped beast struggling in despair on the verge of death. Zhou's head buzzed, and he was even more speechless when he was forced to ask by Li Shuwen, Li Shuwen sat up from the bed suddenly, rushed over and grabbed Zhou's arm and shouted: "Mother, is my face not getting better? Is it ...... that the prince refuses to marry me?"
Zhou finally barely pulled out a smile from the corner of his mouth, and said: "Let's not talk about this, there are too many things happening in our family today, and rumors are spreading outside, we need to go back to our hometown in Huizhou to avoid the limelight, and come back when things calm down." Let's leave early tomorrow morning, everything is packed, you don't have to worry, everything is there for your mother, you don't have to worry about anything......" Zhou's words became smoother and smoother, but even she didn't believe it...... While...... Li Zheng is like this, why is she not like this......
Li Shuwen didn't mention the prince when she heard Zhou's half a word, her hands hung down, "Mother, you lied to me......"
"How could my mother lie to you, didn't my mother go back with you?" my mother will live with you in my hometown, and when you are well, I will come back with you......" Zhou kept raising the corners of his mouth, for fear that Li Shuwen would not believe it. She knew that Li Shuwen cared about the prince, but she would definitely forget about it if she was still young and didn't care about it, and she would forget it in a few years. When the wound on his face is almost healed, find a better ordinary family to marry...... If you have a child, your life will be decided......
"Mother, where is the eldest brother?" Li Shuwen suddenly asked Li Zheng.
Zhou said: "Your eldest brother was sentenced to exile and will never be allowed to return to Beijing." She forced a grin, "That's already good......
"Mother, you're useless, aren't you?" Li Shuwen sneered and interrupted Zhou's words: "You're useless to Aunt Shen, right?"
Zhou was stunned, and Li Shuwen looked at her and suddenly calmed down, "Over the years, you have relied on Aunt Shen and grandma for everything, and some things you have planned with your eldest brother...... Now it's all in vain, the eldest brother has been exiled, the eldest sister is dead, and I have become this person, not a ghost, and my father has abandoned my mother like a ghost, so our mother and daughter can no longer earn benefits for Aunt Shen and Grandma, right?"
Zhou Shi trembled slightly, her face turned pale in an instant, even Li Shuwen could see things, but she was still trying to deceive herself...... Li Shuwen had already got the answer when she saw Zhou's appearance, she said: "Originally, I thought that I would marry an irrelevant person in this life and bring benefits to the family, so I never had any illusions about marriage." And you asked me to marry the crown prince, which I never dreamed of. You've always been more interested in the eldest sister......"
Her voice became calmer and calmer, as if she had no complaints about what had happened: "I'm very glad, although I'm only a side concubine, I'm very happy...... Can you marry someone like that...... I've thought about someone like him a long time ago. No matter what he does to me, I just want to be safe by his side......"
"Wen'er......" Zhou's heartache, guilt, and panic all kinds of emotions came to her heart at once, and she could only say: "The ...... on your face may not be better."
Li Shuwen waved her hand, lay down in the quilt again, and said, "I'm tired, mother go back." ”
Zhou was stunned for a moment, "That Wen'er has a good rest...... Let's leave tomorrow morning......"
Li Shuwen closed her eyes and nodded silently.
Yuping stepped forward to tuck the quilt for Li Shuwen, put down the curtain, softly blew out the candle and fell asleep on the outside foot.
Li Shuwen reopened her eyes and looked at the darkness above her head, the figure of the prince lingered in front of her eyes, and the few gentle words on the letterhead had hollowed out her heart...... She knew that it was impossible for her to marry the prince, and they would throw her to her hometown in Huizhou and leave her to fend for herself...... At this time, she finally understood Li Shuqiao's words a little, even if she died, she had to die in a glorious height, and not live in the dirty mud that everyone could step on......
She clenched her hands in the dark, and they only removed the rings and clothes from her head, and the gold ring on her hand was still there, and she had heard that raw gold could fall to death......
The time was not early, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians in the market, Yu Baochan and Yu Shi'an sent Fang Jin back along the way, while Yang Yan went to the post station to pick up the horse, walked next to Li Shuci's carriage, and walked towards Li's mansion. Because the market was too crowded for cars and horses to walk, the two took a detour to the somewhat deserted street. Li Shuci was in a complicated mood, and the 'um' just now seemed to be Yang Yan's response...... But in fact, after Li Shuci calmed down, he didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Yang Yan, did he like him, or was he grateful and guilty for treating him as a life-saving straw?
"I have been offended a lot, and I hope Ah Ci won't blame me. ”
Li Shuci reacted for a while before he realized that he was talking about the very intimate thing that Fang had realized to her in front of the prince and the abyss. "How can I blame you, if you didn't relieve me of the siege, I'm afraid I would offend His Royal Highness the Prince......"
The carriage moved forward smoothly all the way, on the streets of Shangjing, there were laughter and laughter from time to time, Yang Yan, who was following the car, picked up interesting things over the years along the way, Qingge looked at the two of them with a smile on the side, Li Shuci responded with a ride: "You have been living well outside for the past few years, have you suffered a lot, and now you will not leave when you return to Beijing?"
"It's nothing to endure hardship, what am I afraid of hardship as a big man?" Yang Yan outside the window was riding on a horse, he looked down at the car, his eyes were calm and abnormal, and he was full of starlight. Sure enough, it's no longer the little child he used to be, "My grandfather is old, and my father doesn't take care of things, so I returned to the capital this time to ask for the position of captain of the forbidden army in front of the capital palace." ”
Li Shuci was surprised that in the forbidden army in the capital, in addition to the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city, there was also a pro-military division and a palace front division and was called the second division. The commander of the forbidden army of the front division of the palace is only condescended to the commander of the forbidden army in charge of the second division, "It seems that the king trusts you very much." ”
"Thanks to General Fan's recommendation. Yang Yan's smile was as warm as the warm sun, and people could feel the warm breath emanating from his body from time to time. He looked at Li Shuci as if he was looking at a rare treasure, reflecting a colorful glow, "Actually, my biggest gain from being outside all these years is that I found my fourth uncle. ”
"Your fourth uncle?" Li Shuci was stunned, she looked at Yang Yan along the window of the car carved with the pattern of Jin Ri Dongsheng, and thought for a while before she remembered, and said, "But the fourth master of the Yang family who is said to have killed stars and descended into the world?"
