Mrs. Dou finally only lasted two days, in the early morning of the second year of junior high school, swallowed her last breath, she was kind to people before her death, whether it was her sister-in-law, or the children and grandchildren of later generations remembered her good, so when the news of Mrs. Dou went out, the entire Li Mansion suddenly cried, Shi Qingyi as a daughter-in-law for Mrs. Dou to keep a salute, just in front of the mourning hall, and stayed with a group of female dependents, until all the procedures were gone through, and the time was also in the afternoon before leaving with everyone.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers were carried back, they kept crying, and finally until they fainted, Li Yuanji kept kneeling in front of Mrs. Dou's body, neither crying, nor any change in expression, just kneeling expressionlessly, until everyone left, he was still there, motionless.

Shi Qingyi went to the old lady, the old lady looked a lot haggard, and her silver hair also lost her color, looking dry and lifeless, seeing Shi Qingyi's arrival, the old lady seemed very happy, and hurriedly took Shi Qingyi's hand and asked her to tell her about today's situation. In the past, at this kind of moment, the old lady would definitely attend in person, but unfortunately, after the battle on Chinese New Year's Eve, the old lady's body deteriorated sharply, and now, it has reached the point where she needs to be supported by her grandmother when she walks, and her temper is big, except for Mrs. Dou, the other daughters-in-law are afraid, let alone willing to serve left and right, so today's funeral of Mrs. Dou, only Shi Qingyi can come and tell her. Shi Qingyi sat down beside the old lady and talked about what happened today.

"Yuanji is also a good boy, but it's a pity that the Dou family often ignores him because he loves Shimin too much, and as a result, this child's temperament is becoming more and more extreme, and my grandmother can't do well!" When she heard Shi Qingyi say that after everyone left, Li Yuanji still knelt in front of Mrs. Dou and refused to leave, the old lady sighed and said. Shi Qingyi has no words, in fact, for Li Yuanji, the child, she also has a slight whisper, in the days of the short acquaintance, she also told Li Yuanji that she should learn to accept others from the heart, but unfortunately, a few years later, Li Yuanji not only did not change himself, but his personality became more and more extreme, even the innocence of his youth has disappeared, Shi Qingyi saw the current Li Yuanji, in addition to avoiding it from afar, what else can he say, the changes in people, no one will guess.

Leaving from the old lady, when returning to his residence, he had to pass by Mrs. Dou's mourning hall, Shi Qingyi looked inside, Li Yuanji was still kneeling there motionless, Shi Qingyi saw it, and his heart was also sad. Although Mrs. Dou is a very good mother, even the most loving and gentle mother will be preferred, and because of this preference, she often ignores this overly handsome child, in order to get the attention of adults, he will cry and make trouble, and then, he will make all kinds of extreme actions, and even deliberately cause trouble to attract the scolding of adults, because in that way, he will feel that he is not without a place in the hearts of adults. Li Yuanji did this, but unfortunately, all his actions did not get the desired result, Dou is a good mother, she will not blame the child too much, in her opinion, the child is too young, it is the time to be ignore, but she didn't think about it, the result of her handling like this is Li Yuanji's deep disappointment, not in exchange for being he cared about, attached importance to the beating and punishment, Li Yuanji himself feels that he may be in Mrs. Dou's heart, it is really not worth mentioning. So, he gave up on himself, and finally became what he is now.

Now, Mrs. Dou has finally passed away, but Li Yuanji has been kneeling in Mrs. Dou's mourning hall, motionless, Shi Qingyi understands that this is the last attachment of the young man to his mother's love, because what he prayed for will never be fulfilled again.

Day 1...... Day 2...... Day 4...... Until the sixth day, Li Yuanji knelt there without eating or drinking, even if Li Yuanji's strong body gradually reached the limit, he didn't shake his body, because the next moment, he might faint. These days, many people have come to persuade Li Yuanji, but they have all been driven away by Li Yuanji fiercely, until now, even Shi Qingyi can't help it.

Meeting is fate, not to mention that the diligent and innocent young man has left a deep imprint in her memory, although Shi Qingyi has always told herself: the past is already the past, and the meaningless deliberate approach is just to carry a heavy burden for herself, and for Li Yuanji, the two are strangers. However, at this moment, she could no longer suppress her heart.

In any case, Li Yuanji is the little third son in her memory, and besides, Li Yuanji at this time is so similar to her former self. Recalling that when Bi Xiuxin had just left, he must have been in the same state as Li Yuanji at this time! Silently, Shi Qingyi walked over, if there is anyone in this world besides Mrs. Dou who can persuade Li Yuanji, then there is no doubt that it should be her, the one who beat Li Yuanji in the jungle and called her eldest sister......

Shi Qingyi finally didn't walk in front of Li Yuanji, nor did he say his identity, just because of Li Yuanji's eyes. Li Yuanji heard someone approaching, he turned around, and then realized that it was his second sister-in-law who was approaching him, the wife chosen by the grandmother and mother for the second brother. Thinking of Li Shimin, his second brother, the jealousy in Li Yuanji's heart began to grow wildly, why, that guy can be favored by everyone, and even family affairs have to be chosen by thousands of choices (Li Shimin cried), but he is always ignored. While the second brother was enjoying the crowd with peace of mind, he had to stay in his remote courtyard and endure the emptiness silently, which was not fair! Li Yuanji's heart shouted. hated the house and Wu, and even his second sister-in-law, Shi Qingyi, and Li Yuanji also hated it.

With such hatred, when Li Yuanji and Shi Qingyi's eyes met, their eyes were full of resentment and hatred. Looking at this gaze, Shi Qingyi's heart suddenly felt a trance, as if in her life, something suddenly broke off, Shi Qingyi sighed softly, and she stopped. Then, turn around and leave

Fate originates and dies, that is, fate is unpredictable, and it can even disappear the moment it is obtained, a thought, a small action, or even a look can be. And at this time, Shi Qingyi is like this, with one look, the image of the little third son in her heart is rapidly fading and disappearing, and it is replaced by the current Li Jiashilang, Yuanji.

"That's fine." Shi Qingyi sighed softly, as if she was remembering, and as if she was finally relieved, and then she took a step and left.

Of course, Li Yuanji had no way of knowing Shi Qingyi's inner activities, he just saw that his second sister-in-law seemed to be a cat crying mouse and fake compassion, so he glared back fiercely, and the second sister-in-law was also a deep boudoir in the deep boudoir after all, just frightened by his eyes, he couldn't stand it, so he ran away.

Because of this, Li Yuanji's heart suddenly surged with a sense of happiness as if he had succeeded in revenge: What's the matter, the second sister-in-law was scared away by herself, and one day, the second brother, the guy he hated the most, would be trampled under his feet and humiliated him fiercely, in order to repay the resentment accumulated in his heart over the years...... The power of hatred made him strong, although he was shaky, he still knelt down unswervingly in front of Mrs. Dou's mourning hall, mother, you see it, this is the child's love for you, but it is far more than the second brother's, but why did you never see it, one day, I will take back everything that belongs to me......

Shi Qingyi, who had already left, would no longer have the energy to pay attention to Li Yuanji, at this time she was with the old lady, quietly listening to the old lady talk to herself about the past grievances and grievances......

"My father didn't even bring his family with him in order to follow the emperor at that time, so he ran to Chang'an in one go, and then never returned to Luoyang, so until my father went, he never saw his wife and children in Luoyang again," the old lady's health is getting worse and worse, and she can hardly go to the ground, but seeing Shi Qingyi's arrival, she still seems very excited, and Shi Qingyi's words almost never stop, it seems that she can't wait to tell Shi Qingyi everything in the past, every time Shi Qingyi comes, will sit for a long time, listening to the old man tell about the past, "Our family was settled after my father settled in Chang'an, a total of seven brothers and sisters, and you may not know the others, but you must be familiar with the seventh sister, because she is the mother of the current saint, the deceased queen of literature." Shi Qingyi listened quietly, because in the old lady's slightly weak voice, there was actually a resentment. I'm fourth in the family, and there is an eldest sister above, the eldest sister is a very good sister, not only often take care of our younger brothers and sisters, but also what good things will make us so, and later, she got married, the other party is the eldest son of Yuwentai, although it is the order of the parents, but the life of their husband and wife is very happy, both of them are kind people, and treat our younger brothers and sisters not only not alienated, but better, now that I think about it, it should be the happiest period of my life. The old lady said, even the corners of her eyes and eyebrows had a hint of happiness, making Shi Qingyi believe that what she said was true.

"Later, Yuwentai died, and his nephew Yuwenhu took over the power, because of his domineering, Daddy wanted to get rid of him, but failed, and Daddy was forced to commit suicide, fortunately, there was a brother-in-law who came forward to defend our family, otherwise, our family would definitely be destroyed. Then there is joy descending from the sky, brother-in-law, he actually became the emperor...... At that time, my sister was the queen, as her sister, I was really happy for her, but my sister at that time, but she didn't seem very happy, I asked her, but she said that I was still young, and I would understand when I grew up, alas, I wanted to think about it, at that time, I really didn't understand anything at an age, and I didn't know what kind of fate my sister and brother-in-law were carrying at that time. The old lady smiled at Shi Qingyi, but her eyes were full of loss.

According to historical records, after Yuwen Hu abolished the late emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, he first established Yu Wentai's eldest son as the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later the emperor wanted to kill Yuwen Hu because of Yuwen Hu's flying and domineering, so he wanted to kill Yuwen Hu, and the plan was leaked, Yuwen Hu then killed the emperor, and the eldest son of Yu Wentai was the emperor, and the eldest son of Yu Wentai was Dugu Xin's eldest son-in-law, and now the eldest brother-in-law of the old lady Dugu.

"My sister and brother-in-law are both kind people and have always been indisputable with the world, but unfortunately, since they are already emperors, they must be responsible for this country, and my brother-in-law is working hard to govern this country, and everyone sees what he does. Because of this, he gradually gained popularity, but it also made Yuwen Hu uncomfortable, this brother-in-law's uncle and brother, was left a psychological shadow by the previous emperor's killing plan, so in order to protect himself, he killed his brother-in-law again," the old lady said this, tears flashed in her eyes: "Actually, until death, my brother-in-law never thought of harming anyone......" Shi Qingyi looked at her speechlessly, the current old lady was also a young girl, and there were also years of young girl's pregnancy, the object of her admiration, there is no doubt, It must have been the man she was talking about, the man who became her sister's husband. After many years of baptism, even if the face is old, the former girl is about to grow old, but the unforgettable emotions of the past have not been extinguished, but on the contrary. Listening to the old lady reminiscing about the past, with an expression mixed with pain and happiness on her face at the same time, Shi Qingyi suddenly felt that all words had lost their meaning at this moment.

"It's a pity that as their little sister, I failed to fulfill my sister's responsibilities, and even the bloodline of the two of them was not protected." When she said this, the old lady's face was full of pain and remorse: "Seventh Sister Jia Luo has been very strong since she was a child, and everything she wants, she must do everything possible to get it, even if she pays a big price for it, she will not hesitate to do so." The old lady's voice revealed deep hatred: "I just didn't expect that she would do so much in order to become a queen!" ”

In the old lady's narration, that cruel but true history slowly unfolded in front of Shi Qingyi: the old lady's seventh sister Dugu Jialuo, that is, the queen of literature when she had not yet become the queen, married the later Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian as his wife, and later they had a beautiful and virtuous daughter, Yang Lihua, married to the son of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the queen, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was a faint monarch, mediocre and cruel, Yang Lihua had a kind personality, and as a queen, she naturally discouraged her, and the emperor was angry, actually wanted to abolish Yang Lihua's position as queen, Yang Jian and the old lady's seventh sister were all rich and noble to Yang Lihua, so in order to protect herself, the later queen of literature actually disregarded her face and went to Emperor Zhou * in person to plead for her daughter, and finally saved her daughter's position as queen. Later, Emperor Zhou * died violently, and Yang Jian led the troops into Chang'an as the empress's family, and took the opportunity to control the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, which changed the dynasty and established the Great Sui Empire.

In order to save oneself and disregard face, this is not a big mistake, after all, people cherish feathers, but what the old lady suffers and resents is what the little sister's family did after seizing the country, regardless of the feelings of the eldest daughter Yang Lihua, killed the young emperor who had just ascended the throne, exterminated the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to prevent the other party from resurrecting, and severely cracked down on a cadre of Wenchen generals loyal to the Yuwen royal family...... Changing the dynasty, this is an inevitable thing, even if the little emperor is killed, Yang Jian's family has no blood connection with the little emperor, and if they are killed, they will be killed. However, why, even the descendants born to the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law have to be slaughtered cleanly, in order to get rid of the troubles, when the old lady got the news and hurried over, after the sister went, the more than 100 people she left behind had been killed, Yang Jian's guards faithfully carried out the orders of the new emperor, and the eldest sister of the old lady's family, so except for the corpse, there was no one alive. Facing the corpses everywhere, the old lady at that time only felt cold all over her body, these people are the descendants of her sister, they are the descendants of her fourth aunt and grandmother who once called her affectionately, and now, they are all dead, everyone's faces are frightened and incredulous, because they don't believe that their seventh aunt will raise the butcher's knife to them......

Initially, when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty first met Yang Jian, he said that he was similar to a jackal, as if he was going to eat people at any time, so he wanted to kill Yang Jian, but he was persuaded by the ministers, one of whom was good at face-to-face and said that Yang Jian was not the material of the emperor, at most he would be a general of the Pillar State, and if he dared to usurp power, he would definitely die. Only then did Emperor Wu dispel the idea of killing Yang Jian, but people did not hurt the tiger, and the tiger harmed people's hearts. Yang Jian finally seized the Yuwen family and wiped out the Yuwen clan. "Now that I think about it, according to a fortune teller, it's really accurate, Yang Jian's Great Sui, isn't it true that he is going to die in the second life?"

Shi Qingyi really wants to say, this is really not accurate, there are obviously three emperors in the Sui Dynasty, and the last one is not the emperor of your son Li Yuanli, although he is just a poor puppet! However, Shi Qingyi finally just thought about it in his heart and didn't dare to say it to his face. Although the old lady's tone sounded very happy, her face was dull, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, whether it was the eldest sister or the younger sister, they were all the old lady's biological sisters, and the old lady would be heartbroken if any of their family members were hurt.

"Among the remaining brothers and sisters, the seventh sister originally had the best relationship with me, after such a thing happened, I naturally alienated her, and the younger sister also knew that she was ashamed of me, so she was promoted in Yuan'er's career, but even so, I did not take the initiative to ease the relationship between us, just like that, until the death of the younger sister." The old lady's voice was low, "Although she has done a lot, even if she dies, I will not forgive her." ”

Shi Qingyi said goodbye to the old lady, and walked to her room alone, she walked silently, but her heart continued to ripple, the ferocity of the upper aristocratic family fighting for the interests has never been far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, Yuwentai, Yuwenhu, Yang Jian, the eldest grandson Anye, these or heard, or met the actions of the people, all confirm this truth, and therefore, Shi Qingyi is also more and more nostalgic for the home of the valley that is indisputable with the world.

But no, my mother is dead, my father is very sick, and my little sister is also taken away, although there is no danger to her life, but it is difficult to snatch her back, besides, that valley is not safe, the people of Jingzhai have found it for the first time, there will be a second time, a third time...... Even at this time, Shi Qingyi only has a permanent residence of the Li family, Shi Qingyi looked around, the mansion of the Li Mansion covers a vast area, between the erected high walls, there is no lack of elegant and quiet courtyards, and he will live here for a long time.
