Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dead Are Gone
"Today, my aunt went to Shizun with a solemn face, and then my aunt's expression when she watched me practice swords in the bamboo forest was the same as Senior Sister Yinxia's expression before she went down the mountain. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xin Yao remembered that time Yin Xia never came back after coming down the mountain, she got married, and heard from other senior sisters who came back from the mountain that Senior Sister Yin Xia is now living a happy life different from her senior sisters, and her husband treats her very well.
"I always feel that my aunt is leaving Yao'er, is my aunt sick with something, is the master okay?" Xin Yao saw that Jinrou's face was haggard and pale, and she had a few other thoughts in her heart, so she couldn't bear to speak.
"Auntie won't leave Yao'er, is Yao'er willing to leave her aunt?" Jinrou's thoughts were chaotic, her eyes were full of tears, and when she lowered her eyes, big tears would fall from her eyes.
Yao'er was naturally reluctant. Why did my aunt say this, sad about Yao'er's question yesterday? Xin Yao found that when Jin Rou went to find Master Siling during the day, her face was solemn, could it be that her life experience was really unbearable?
"Every time Yao'er asks about her father and uncle, her aunt is sullen, if her aunt is unhappy, Yao'er will not ask in the future."
Xin Yao remembered that she was ignorant and had her father and mother who loved her in every way when she was a child, and her uncle also doted on her.
But in Xin Yao's memory, the deepest love is Aunt Jinrou's infinite tolerance and love to grow up with her, maybe her father entrusted her with a heavy responsibility and had to leave her, maybe her mother hid in the rivers and lakes and had to leave her, the past is gone, cherish the present.
"My Yao'er is always so smart and can always guess my aunt's mind."
In the past, Xin Yao asked about Lianjia, and Jinrou was always nervous and lied, replied in a daze, and then worried for several days in a row, and dreamed longer and shorter.
Now that Xin Yao mentioned the matter of the Lian family, Jinrou seemed to be relieved, as if she had been waiting for Xin Yao's question, and when she finally spoke, she was relieved.
"Good boy, auntie will tell you now."
Xin Yao is willing to give up the long-standing doubts in her heart in exchange for her own peace of mind, so remember her feelings, Jinrou is very relieved in her heart, she put on her coat and walked outside the house, although the bright moon is in the sky, but it is not bright but the warm light of celadon in the house, it is not easy to choke with a deep sigh, and it is not easy to detect the tears rolling down.
Xin Yao got up and sat down beside Jinrou and listened with bated breath.
"Yao'er, in fact, your parents were framed and returned to the yin ten years ago." Jinrou felt Xin Yao's body beside her shake briefly, believing that she was shocked at the moment.
After Jinrou waited for Xin Yao to buffer her emotions, she continued to recall:
"Your father Lian Feichi is a former general of the imperial guard, and I am the eldest princess of the former dynasty, and your uncle Lian Feihan is only a marriage letter away, you should have called me Aunt Rou instead of aunt. At that time, Lianfu was famous all over the world, and the light was infinite, but the good times did not last long, and the fortune was obedient, and I don't know where the traitor slandered Emperor Ming, saying that your father was greedy and greedy, coveted the holy pearl, and intended to rebel, Emperor Ming was angry and planned to be full of orders, but before it was too late to interrogate, Emperor Ming suddenly died, and the Lian family was charged with rebellion. ”
"Who is plotting?"
Xin Yao's teeth chattered, anger and shock filling her once innocent heart.
"Since it is a plot, we are in the light, and people are in the dark, and your father has always been friendly with people, and there is no root to find such a deep hatred."
Jinrou was already in tears after speaking, and Fang Cai's words had been silently recited countless times in her heart during the day, and if she really wanted to say it to people, she could still clearly feel the pain of the year.
In the past, every time Jin Rou replied, Xin Yao could find ten doubts to ask aggressively, but tonight's Xin Yao was speechless for a long time, the mountains and fields were quiet, and she could only hear the breeze and the white horse chirping.
"It doesn't have to be a conspiracy."
After a long time, Xin Yao, who was also in tears, regained consciousness from her grief, "My aunt has a very close relationship with the Lian family, if there is an enemy who has to put the Lian family to death, my aunt must know a thing or two, and my aunt said that if there is no one, it may be really nothing." This person has caused the Lian family to become a ghost under the knife, he does not necessarily have a deep enmity with the Lian family, it may just be that he committed a capital crime, just an opportunity to find a scapegoat, and the Lian family who appeared at the right time unfortunately became his shield. ”
Jin Rou was stunned, the mystery that she couldn't figure out after ten years was easily solved by Xin Yao.
The Lian family does not have an enemy, on the contrary, there are many friends of life and death, even the eldest brother treats people politely, and the second brother is righteous and thin, if there is really an enemy of life and death, how can he be at a loss.
"If you are lucky enough to escape such a catastrophe, you can either quit immediately out of fear or guilt, or act more carefully and step by step. If it is the former, ask the ministers of the two dynasties to quickly catch the murderer; If it is the latter, it will be possible to serve the dynasty carefully for ten years, and it will definitely be prosperous. ”
Xin Yao endured the huge pain, clarified her thoughts, and carefully considered every word, Jin Rou only described the matter in a few words, and Xin Yao was able to analyze it and directly hit the doubts.
Did Jinrou wipe away the remaining tears on her cheeks, put away her sad attitude, Xin Yao's sentences hit the point, Jinrou seemed to see a glimmer of light floating in the gray sky, and her heart for ten years found a hope.
In fact, in the past ten years, Jinrou has always regretted that as the eldest princess of the former dynasty, she obviously holds some palace power, but she has no ability to track down the truth and return Brother Han's innocence.
"Yao'er, what are you planning in mind?" Jinrou asked tentatively, she had been hiding it for ten years, because she was afraid that Xin Yao would run down the mountain to take revenge blindly after knowing the truth.
But now that Jinrou has seen Xin Yao's wisdom and ability, she hopes that Xin Yao can return to her hometown and find the truth.
"Auntie, Yao'er wants to go to Kyoto." Sure enough, after knowing the truth, Xin Yao would not stop so easily.
"My Yao'er has grown up, and my aunt has nothing to worry about." Jinrou stroked Xin Yao's hair and smiled comfortingly.
"I'll come back after settling the grudge against my family." Xin Yao was ashamed in her heart, she also swore that she would not leave her aunt, but this time the investigation was secret and dangerous, and it was really not appropriate to bring her aunt with her.
"That aunt is waiting for Yao'er's good news in the mountains and forests where the warblers fly and the grass grows." Jinrou stretched out her arms to embrace the darkness as far as the eye could see.
At this moment, Jinrou's heart was extremely happy, as if Xin Yao had untied the knot in her heart for many years, Lian Feihan's death had made her heart like ashes, and she was even more depressed when she lived in the world but could not do anything about her lover's grievances.
And at this moment, Jinrou is grateful to Xin Yao, just like Xin Yao brought her a bright light, and what she embraces at the moment is endless hope.
Seeing this, Xin Yao stepped forward and hugged her aunt tightly from behind, "Auntie, you are a princess, you still have relatives, why do you accompany Yao'er to live in the mountains and forests." ”
"Yao'er is my aunt's closest relative." Jinrou's dedication to Xin Yao is not so much kindness, but more like maternal love, parting is imminent, and reluctance comes to mind.
At that time, one of his dearest people was Lian Feihan, and the other was the emperor's brother, both of whom died so that Jin Rousheng had nothing to love, and now that I think about it carefully, I still have some worries in my heart, such as how the bunch of lovely nephews and nieces are doing now.
"Come, my aunt will tell you the ins and outs of the year." Jinrou shook off the superfluous thoughts, took Xin Yao's little hand, and the two walked back to the room with each other's arms.
