Chapter 42: Bumps
Aunt Wen was shocked: "How did you know?" ā
"It was Zhang Yueting who told me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Tang Xin leaned his body relaxed against the wall of the carriage, and his face, which was still radiant just now, was instantly overshadowed: "After Xin'er was locked up in the firewood room by Yuan Ke because of an affair with the guards, Zhang Yueting once went to see me. Although she was just to mock my ignorance, but thanks to her, she let me know a lot of things that I never knew before, and this also included the things of my aunt and fourth uncle. Although she told me that you were framed by the eldest lady in the first place, she always felt that this matter was full of weirdness, and it should not be all the eldest lady's methods, so she didn't tell her aunt directly when she was in the house that day. ā
Aunt Wen thought of the conversation she had with Tang Xin in the house that day, and when she told her everything that had happened to her, her heart suddenly felt a lot of emotion.
"Xin'er, everything has passed, only by forgetting everything can you live a better life in the future."
Tang Xin smiled reluctantly, but he didn't say anything.
Past? Easier said than done. Whether it is Zhang Yueting or Yuan Ke, this is all her feelings that she has paid for many years. Although she doesn't love Yuan Ke, but after marrying him as a wife, she threw her heart on him, how can the bits and pieces that happened be forgotten? And Zhang Yueting is her closest and closest sister in her previous life, she can give her all the good things in her hands, but what she didn't expect to get was her most ruthless betrayal.
She stupidly believed those who spoke well, but she hurt everyone who really cared about her. Whether it was an aunt or a fourth uncle, they had all been hurt by her with the most vicious language. Especially the fourth uncle, when he went to visit her, she had abused him in person more than once, and even cursed him to death so that he would never appear in front of her again in his life. When the man with an indifferent face turned to leave, she actually felt his loneliness and sadness emanating from the inside out, but she only smiled coldly, and never put those in her heart.
The biggest mistake of her life was to give her worst temper and worst side to the most familiar and intimate people, but to give patience and tolerance to strangers.
And how can these things be passed?
"Auntie, Xin'er has always had a question. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it stands to reason that you should watch a play in the front yard with your father, eldest lady and grandmother, why did you end up with your fourth uncle? ā
Aunt Wen sighed, and a trace of chagrin flashed in her eyes: "At the beginning, my aunt was indeed watching the play with everyone in the front yard, but then a little maid accidentally knocked over the wine on my aunt, and because my wife spoke, the little maid accompanied my aunt to the backyard to change her clothes, but on the way back, I didn't expect to meet your fourth uncle." Although your fourth uncle and your father are said to be siblings of the same mother, perhaps because of their cold temperament and not easy to approach, your grandmother was not close to him when he was young, and when he grew up, she respected him like a stranger. Because he is your grandmother's old man, he was only eight or nine years old when his aunt first entered the house. At that time, whenever I saw him, my aunt would always involuntarily think of her lost sister, so she was very kind and loving to him. Especially today, when he thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a day of family reunion, but he was so lonely alone, his aunt wanted to come forward and say a few words to him so that he could feel the love of his family. And the little girl who followed my aunt was also a discerning person, and when she saw the two of us sitting down at the stone table, she said that she had returned to your father and grandmother for her aunt, and then when she returned, she brought a few appetizers and a pot of sake. Auntie's alcohol consumption is not good, especially no matter how close you are to your fourth uncle, he is also a foreign man after all, so my aunt actually didn't want to drink that wine at that time. But your fourth uncle seemed to be in a particularly bad mood at that time, although he said that he was talking to his aunt, but the wine was poured into his stomach one after another. The aunt couldn't bear to see him like this, so she also poured a glass with herself, and forced him to drink and chat with her aunt. At that time, the two of us talked a lot, and most of the wine was actually drunk by your fourth uncle, and my aunt only drank one or two glasses. Then my aunt felt a hint of alcohol, and then she fainted, and when she woke up, she was lying on the same bed with your fourth uncle. After a pause, Aunt Wen said decadently: "When your father broke into that house, your fourth uncle and I were actually still in a coma. Later, when we woke up, we found that the clothes on our bodies were taken off by someone and were disheveled. Although your fourth uncle has never been married, but after all, your aunt is a person who has come over, and whether there is anything between you and your fourth uncle, your aunt is very clear in her heart. It's just that my aunt can be said to be at a loss at that time, no matter what she says, no one will believe it. After all, the facts are in front of you, and who would be stupid enough to believe that my aunt is innocent? My aunt really regrets it to death now, if I had known that something like that would happen later, I would have beaten my aunt to death, and my aunt would not have touched the wine. ā
In Aunt Wen's narration, Tang Xinzhi understood that the two of them were able to be framed so easily, and the problem must have been in the pot of wine.
It's just that all this is too much of a coincidence? Tang Xin was a little skeptical.
"Auntie, why did the fourth uncle appear there at that time? And the people around him? Xin'er remembered that there were several guards with strong martial arts around him? ā
Aunt Wen slammed her head after listening to Tang Xin's words, but after a while, she was relieved: "Because those guards can usually be said to be inseparable from your fourth uncle, so when I saw that your fourth uncle was alone in the courtyard, my aunt also asked him, but listening to your fourth uncle's meaning, it seems that there was something wrong with your father's manpower during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so several of them were sent by your fourth uncle to help your father deal with affairs." ā
Tang Xin squinted: "What does aunt mean that the people around the fourth uncle were transferred away by my father at that time?" ā
Aunt Wen nodded, and then after reacting to the meaning of Tang Xin's words, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Tang Xin in disbelief: "No, it won't be your father." ā
Tang Xinying's lips opened slightly, but before she could speak, the carriage jolted violently.
