267: Retribution
Some people rejoice, some people are sad.
Some people are newly married, and some people are separated.
He sat in the room, looking at the man he had loved for eighteen years, and burst into tears.
Once upon a time, she wished to have a quiet conversation with him, but only then did she realize how ridiculous her thoughts were.
Things are not people, and the vicissitudes of life.
He Shi took a breath slowly, and then looked at Li Zhiya: "What am I in your eyes?" β
To this day, she still wants to know her status.
It's clear that it's still unwilling.
"What do you think? She is in my heart, a wife, and you ...... Nothing. When Li Zhiya looked at He's family, his eyes were full of exhaustion, "Xiaocui, what I said back then, I did it." β
He Cui laughed, she stood up, pointed at Li Zhiya and yelled: "You did it, Li Zhiya, don't you think you are so disgusting?" Who are you wronged to show like this? If you hadn't been greedy, how could you have ended up in my game? Is it all my fault? Drunk? That's just a man's excuse, and you used the same excuse to cheat on your wife. β
Li Zhiya's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to refute He Cui's words.
Because, what He Cui said is right.
Drunk, perhaps, is just an excuse.
If you really love someone like life, how can you make such a low-end mistake. At that time, the He family was as delicate as the hibiscus flowers that bloomed after the rain, and when she looked at him, she looked shy.
He was at the beginning. I really love her like that.
It's just that what He Cui did later made him more afraid.
He Cui actually wanted to kill He Bufan, the brother-in-law who was the same as her.
"I don't have the shame to see her, but I don't want to see you again." When Li Zhiya said these words, his eyes were full of mockery, "In fact, from the beginning when you approached me, you knew what kind of person I was. I have been with you for eighteen years, and in these eighteen years, I have let the crumbling He family persist until now. This is my atonement...... It's just that. I'm old. I don't have the strength to take care of these anymore, so think about whether you plan to go to Ci'an Monastery or come with me. β
Ci'an Temple on the outskirts of the capital. There are quite a few aristocratic wives living in it. They meditate inside.
On the surface. Ci'an Monastery is a very peaceful and peaceful place for these noble wives to live and practice. But in reality, none of the noble wives wanted to live in this wilderness. There are countless women driven mad here, and they are held here for almost no day. Li Zhiya is now asking her to go to Ci'an Temple, which is nothing more than forcing her to seek death, just going to Ci'an Temple, maybe living for a month or two more.
If she dies in Ci'an Temple, she will still be able to leave a good name at that time.
He Cui closed his eyes, feeling that he was going to suffocate to death in the next moment.
Over the years, she has been alone in the empty boudoir, complaining about Li Zhiya countless times in her heart, but she has hoped countless times that Li Zhiya can give her a chance. However, Li Zhiya is a smart man, and Li Zhiya sees everything she does.
At this time, He Cui's heart felt like she had been poked by a knife countless times, and she couldn't stand on her feet in pain.
The person who wants her to die is her husband, her pillow person.
"Ziqing, when my brother died, did you remember what you said?" He Cui looked at Li Zhiya and smiled faintly, his pale face was full of despair, "You said, you will treat me well, if I am a concubine, you will treat me like a wife." It is a great sin to spoil a concubine and kill his wife, but you still want to promise my brother this despite everything. At that time, at that time, I was thinking, even if I was allowed to die at this moment, I would be willing. What a blessing it would be for me to meet you in my life, to be with you in my best years. Ziqing, how much I care about you in my heart, you should know better than anyone else. In the past eighteen years, I have been alone in the empty boudoir, I have never complained, until this moment, I still hope that you can tell me, like back then, tell me, Xiaocui, I will be good to you. β
He Cui softened and slowly sat on the ground.
Why did she end up like this?
Eighteen years of loneliness did not get the Li family in power, eighteen years of loneliness did not get the heart of her husband, and eighteen years of dedication did not get the appreciation of the He family.
Why is she suffering?
This relationship, she loves very much.
Li Zhiya looked at the woman sitting limp on the ground, she was not yet forty, her temples had white hair, and she looked very pitiful. He Cui has worked hard all these years, why is he not? How many midnight dreams back, I always dream that my wife smiles and says that I miss him.
However, there is no going back, no more time.
The death of his wife was both devastating and hurtful to him. When the Li family was about to fall, his wife was desperate to marry him, and he vowed to be good to his wife.
However, he finally failed his beloved wife.
He still remembered that his wife once proudly told people outside that the proudest thing about a woman is not how many admirers she can have, but how many admirers her sweetheart can refuse for her. The people around her secretly said that she had no womanly virtue and was jealous. But she is extremely envious of her, she can have a single-minded him.
In the end, Li Zhiya felt that what he did was a sarcasm for his wife.
He once asked his wife: "I will take a concubine, why are you so obsessed?" β
His wife looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Ziqing, you say I'm obsessed?" I don't do it so generously, I want to be nice to you, not because you are the prince of the country, and not because of your current position in power. It's because I like you, you're my sweetheart. You see, all feelings are like a blank sheet of paper, and if there are other colors, I ...... It will feel dirty. β
At that time, he was angry at what his wife said, and like the people around him, he thought that his wife was jealous and not a good wife.
He even wanted to divorce his wife, because by doing so, she had already committed seven rules.
Afterward. After his wife passed away, he still didn't understand his wife's thoughts......
After his son married a wife, he had no intention of mentioning it to his son and asked his son to take a concubine, but his son politely refused.
The son's eyes are very similar to his wife back then.
"Father, the son's heart is not big, so he can only tolerate one person, too many people, will be tired."
Li Zhiya thought it was ridiculous at the time. But now he was in his twilight years. When there was no one close to him, he understood what his son and wife were thinking.
In this life, people don't need too many feelings, they only need a love of their own.
When you are dying. That person can still be by his side. Talk to him at night. Kiss him on the forehead without disgusting the wrinkles on his face.
Li Zhiya smiled bitterly, he had ups and downs in his life, and his wife accompanied him when he was the hardest. But when he was in power, his wife was no longer around.
He looked at He Cui, shook his head and said, "You never need feelings, what you need is power." In the past eighteen years, I have given you power and the status of a duchess of the country, and I will give you everything you want, Xiaocui. If I hadn't been the Duke of Cheng Guo back then, would you still look at me more? Why should you deceive yourself? β
No, He Cui won't look at him more.
"Ziqing? Why do you say that? If I don't like you, how could I do such a unconscionable thing. He Shi's eyes widened, and his words were unwilling, "For you, I betrayed the He family, killed my brother, and made my grandfather hate me for the rest of my life." If I don't love you, why should I do it? Do you know? When my brother died, he didn't know that I had poisoned his dishes, and he didn't know until he died, and I took these gold bars for you. It's just, hehe, Ziqing, I gave you what I gave you in exchange for my life, and you actually gave it to a wild girl? You're ......."
He Cuiqi's words were incomprehensible, and she didn't understand why Li Zhiya gave these gold bars to Xia Ruan.
If it was given to Li Changfeng, she might still be able to figure it out...... But why did it give Xia Ruan? Why......
Li Zhiya looked at He Cui as if he was watching a joke: "You are wrong, you are not because you like me, you will poison Bufan." Because, you want these family properties, and you want to control the He family. If the extraordinary person dies, everyone in the He family will depend on you in the future. You don't like them to disobey you, that's why you do it...... I was in need of money for the money that I had paid for my life and my wife's life, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Xiao Cui, the price is too great......"
Li Zhiya's words made Li angry and embarrassed.
"Li Zhiya, if you really don't care, why do you give these gold bars to Xia Ruan?" He Cui clenched his hands unwillingly, his eyes were full of anger, "You don't have me in your heart, why do you want to take away what belongs to me?" β
Li Zhiya pushed open the door, turned his back to He Cui and said, "Because, I owe Changyue, I owe this child, and so do you." How good was she to you back then? Why did you deceive her? β
After Li Zhiya finished speaking, he left the house, leaving He Cui alone.
The white silk on the table, the stinging eyes of He.
Li Changyue?
Li Changyueββ
He Cui thought about that night, she looked at Li Changyue in her wedding dress, and her face was sad: "Changyue, I'...... I really like Ziqing, I ...... I didn't expect it to make you sad. Changyue, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. β
Li Changyue's immature face was as pale as a transparent piece of paper under the moonlight.
Her eyes were red and swollen, her body was weak, and she seemed to fall down in the next moment.
"Forgive me, Changyue." He Cui wanted to hold Li Changyue's hands, but saw the disgust in her eyes, "I will be good to you in the future, can you forgive me?" I don't want to lose you as a friend. β
Li Changyue smiled sarcastically, and her voice was hoarse: "Madam, how can you let me forgive you?" How can you ask me to forgive a man who is so intent on destroying my family and angry with my mother? Madam, this is harder than letting me die. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
