Chapter 159: Stupidity
On the afternoon of October 15, when Xia Shuanghan, who had returned from the West Market, opened his mouth to talk to Su Yixing about the suspicious buyer he met in the True Fun Pavilion, Su Yixing, who was resolute and resolute, went down to check Pei Huanting's current situation even if he arranged for manpower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The facts that came back show that in the past half a month, Pei Huanting's mental state has been very unstable, and very fierce conflicts have frequently broken out with Jiang Yicheng. In order to give Pei Huanting time to recover and adjust, Jiang Yicheng sent her back to her mother's house, Prime Minister Pei Cheng's mansion. After returning to Pei's house, Pei Huanting, who slowly recovered and relieved to a certain extent, put forward a request to go to Qixia Mountain Villa to stay for a few days.
"The buyer you saw in the True Fun Pavilion today is indeed Pei Huanting's person." Faced with the fact that the investigation came back, Su Yixing was more concerned about how Xia Shuanghan planned to deal with it. "And then what? You've done it to know yourself and your opponent, how are you going to be invincible? ”
"It depends on Prime Minister Pei's attitude."
In the unusually quiet mountain villa, he and Li Qinglan had dinner on their own, and then waited for a long time for the summer frost and cold, and finally before nightfall, Pei Heming, who was invited by Su Yixing to witness the truth of the matter.
Facing Pei Huanting, who was unrepentant, disregarded and wanted to harm Xia Shuanghan with such despicable means, Pei Heming was angry and angry, and only felt a strong sense of failure, powerlessness and burnout: he didn't understand, why did he, such an upright and upright person, have such a dark and narrow-minded granddaughter?
Facing Pei Heming, who had a heavy face and felt heartbroken, Xia Shuanghan, who was a victim, couldn't show any pity at all to comfort the white-haired old man. After all, what he was going to do with Pei Huanting was the only thing Xia Shuanghan cared about now.
"Xia family girl, say it!" Pei Heming, who has always done things for others and "helps but not help relatives", is a person who can be ruthless enough to kill his relatives in righteousness when necessary, so in the matter of Pei Huanting, Pei Heming, who knows that all the responsibility lies with his granddaughter, just wants to hear what Xia Shuanghan, who is a victim, thinks.
Taking the formal way to report to the official, and then handing over Pei Huanting to Jingzhao Yin Yamen for adjudication and punishment is not what Xia Shuanghan wants. After all, even if Pei Huanting is punished as she deserves, she refuses to let go of the hatred she has for her in her heart, and she will definitely make a comeback in the future.
Moreover, Pei Huanting's imprisonment does not know what kind of crazy revenge Jiang Yicheng will have. Therefore, in the face of such a future with endless troubles and must be on guard from time to time, Xia Shuanghan, who only wants to completely solve the matter today, will not choose to use such troublesome means no matter what.
"Xiangye, if I can make Pei Huanting let go of the obsession and hatred in her heart, go back to live with Jiang Yicheng as she right, and from now on I will have nothing to do with me and Deputy Commander Lu, but the premise is that her mind will always stay at the age of ten, can you accept this?"
Before Xia Shuanghan spoke, Pei Heming was already prepared for his granddaughter to be sent to the official for investigation, the Pei family's reputation was discredited, and the unmarried grandchildren would be difficult to find a home in the future, so when he heard Xia Shuanghan's unexpected words, he only felt that he was a little unresponsive for a while.
"It's a bottle of silly-inducing medicine." Xia Shuanghan, who took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom while speaking, further explained: "After taking it, the person taking the medicine will have a high fever for three days and three nights, and after the fever subsides, he will permanently become a child of about ten years old. ”
"Ten years old?" Raising his eyes to look at Su Yixing, who was sitting next to Xia Shuanghan, Pei Heming, who knew where this bottle of medicine came from without asking, reached out and took the small porcelain bottle.
To be honest, from Pei Heming's standpoint, Xia Shuanghan's proposal is not unacceptable.
Recently, in the face of Pei Huanting, who made a mess of her married life because of her own obsession, but she didn't know how to reflect and would only complain that her family had married her a marriage that she could never get rid of, Pei Heming was disappointed in it, and at the same time, he had slowly and completely given up this granddaughter in his heart.
Therefore, for him to personally turn the granddaughter in front of him, who had fallen to the point of being difficult to save, into a child who could not grow up, this was not such a painful thing for Pei Heming.
After all, being a child again means that her life can be started all over again. Once Pei Huanting becomes a child, she will forget Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan, and she will no longer fall deeper and deeper into the obsessed mispath, until she takes her own life. A young lady who "burned out her brain due to illness and became a child", the reputation of the Pei family, and the marriage of Pei Huanting's unmarried brothers, sisters and sisters will not have any impact.
What's more, a ten-year-old child is honestly not a fool, so even if Jiang Yicheng has a dislike for Pei Huanting because of this and is unwilling to spend the rest of his life with her, it is not a difficult thing for the Pei family to support a little girl who does not grow up and will not go outside to cause trouble.
In the lonely and quiet mountain villa of "......", Pei Heming, who took the medicine bottle handed over by Xia Shuanghan, finally decided to accept Xia Shuanghan's opinion after several hesitations and weighing, and turned his granddaughter into a child who did not grow up, but he still needed to confirm a few things one last time: "Is the effect of this medicine reliable, it won't kill people, right?" Also, can the divine doctor Shen Fanyi make a corresponding antidote for the medicine, and cure Ting'er with this? ”
"Xiangye, please rest assured, the effect of this medicine is absolutely as I said, except that it will make the person who takes the medicine really burn his brain and become a child, there will be no other toxic side effects. After all, I don't want to mess myself up with a mess that I can't handle. As for whether this stupid disease will be cured by Dr. Shen......"
Xia Shuanghan, who endured the faint smile that appeared in his heart, said seriously: "It is impossible for cooked meat to come back to life, so if Miss Pei wants to recover, unless she changes her brain." ”
"Okay, in that case, then I'll take care of the rest!" Pei Heming's guarantee is equivalent to avoiding all kinds of worries for Xia Shuanghan: those subordinates in the villa who help and abuse and die innocently, don't need Xia Shuanghan to do anything, Pei Heming will help her deal with it. Pei Huanting's illness, high fever, and sequelae do not need to be worried about Xia Shuanghan, and Pei Heming will also deal with it without leaks and flaws.
"You're too cheap for her!" When Xia Shuanghan, who thought that the matter had been completely resolved, and then got up to say goodbye with satisfaction, left the villa together, recalling the means that Pei Huanting wanted to use on her that Li Qinglan had returned, Su Yixing only felt that even if he cut Pei Huanting with a thousand knives, it would not be enough for him to dissipate his anger.
"Actually, I don't have much interest in killing, and living a peaceful and stable life is my greatest yearning. Therefore, under the circumstance that Pei Huanting has that thief heart but has never had the ability to deal with me, and has never been able to cause real damage to me, I really don't want to make trouble and make things bigger and bigger. ”
Xia Shuanghan, who was unimpressed by Su Yixing's words, shrugged his shoulders, pouted, and then boarded the carriage back to Xiangyang Palace. And in the villa across the wall, Pei Huanting, who was struggling and scolding endlessly, was forcibly fed stupid medicine by Pei Heming, who wanted his granddaughter to let go of all grievances and hatreds.
"Alas, alas, have you heard, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Pei, the Miss Pei who married into the Anguo Mansion, burned for three days and three nights because of the cold and high fever, and as a result, her brain was burned out."
This is a conversation between ordinary people that can be heard everywhere on the bustling streets after Pei Huanting was poured stupid drugs and then became a ten-year-old child for half a month.
"How could such a thing happen? I thought that those things that caused my children to lose their blindness, deafness, and dementia due to fever because they couldn't get a famous doctor to treat their children would only happen to poor people's homes! ”
"And then, Miss Pei has become a fool, so does her husband, the young master of the Jiang family, want her?"
"Miss Pei did burn out her brain, but she didn't become a fool, but just became an innocent and lively naughty child, so his husband didn't dislike her. Instead, after confirming that her wind chill was cured, he took her back to the house. ”
Xia Shuanghan, who made an appointment to buy cloth on the street with Baliya and prepared to make a few new clothes for the family before the arrival of the New Year, while selecting the fabrics in the store, while listening to the conversation of several women on the side, he couldn't help but feel such a trace of emotion in his heart: "Pei Huanting, let go of those obsessions that you can't ask for, you can really make yourself, me and Tingxuan and you live better." ”
Pei Huanting, who has become a child, Xia Shuanghan once met her a few days ago. Pei Huanting, who smiled innocently and softly and intimately called Jiang Yicheng her brother, left a very deep impression on Xia Shuanghan.
Facing Jiang Yicheng, who had become a wife who had become a child, and once thought that the relationship between the couple could never be recovered, he regarded it as a new beginning, and tried his best to cultivate a relationship with Pei Huanting.
And Pei Huanting, who was no longer obsessively worried about Lu Shaoyun, who was no longer obsessed with Lu Shaoyun, finally gave her feelings of trust and attachment to Jiang Yicheng, who she couldn't wait to use her hands not long ago.
"From now on, it will be a bridge to a bridge, a road to a road, and there will be no more to do with it!" With a long exhale, Xia Shuanghan, who left this enemy in her previous life behind, and thought that she had been reborn and had settled all the grievances and grievances in her previous life and this life, but she didn't expect that in the near future, there was a huge trouble waiting for her.
Xia Shuanghan, as a person who believes that cause and effect have a cycle, and that giving and returning must go hand in hand, has been thinking of such a question from time to time since she was reborn: The grievances and hatreds in her previous life, to be honest, have been ended by Lu Shaoyun after her death, so in this life, God gave her a chance to start over with "the past life", so that she made so many changes, and she received great favors, what should she pay for this?
In their previous lives, their father and younger brother who passed away during the Lantern Festival, Xia Shuanghan had saved them unscathed; married into the Dingguo Mansion in a hurry, and then led to the marriage tragedy, Lu Shaoyun also helped her resolve it with the promise of joining the Xia family in the future; The Queen Mother's decree to marry has been invalidated under the dual efforts of Lu Xiaoqing and Pei Heming; The difficult illness of the heir has also been completely cured by Shen Fanyi; Even now, Xia Shuanghan, who successfully avoided the death catastrophe set up for her by Pei Huanting, has completely subdued Xu and Pei Huanting......
This pile, one by one, changes that are completely different from the previous life, have dissolved all the resentments of Xia Shuanghan's previous life. Compared with her previous life, in addition to the only remaining problem of "reconciling with Su Yixing" in her current life waiting for her to solve, she has reached the best of the best, and there is really nothing worth tossing and turning and sleeping.
But maybe it's because Xia Shuanghan has ended all the last wishes in her previous life, and when the time enters late October, something that can be called the price of rebirth and rebellion begins to appear in her little by little.
On the night of the seventh day of November, after bathing, I was drying my body and preparing to change my clothes, and I accidentally touched a large scar on my back. And just as she was stroking her scar and reminiscing and thinking further, Xia Shuanghan, who realized some terrible change that had happened to her, fell into a panic at a loss.
The scar on his back was left by the fire during last year's Lantern Festival, which Xia Shuanghan remembers very clearly. But the subsequent days of recuperation, healing, and waiting for the wound to heal showed a large blank in her memory.
Skipping the blank part interspersed with the scenes and pictures of the Dingguo Mansion, as well as the clear memories that did not appear in the blank part for the time being, made Xia Shuanghan deduce the fact that he was rescued by Lu Shaoyun after being seriously injured. It's just that inferences can only be used as inferences, because those incomplete parts can't be remembered at all, no matter how much she thinks about them.
Like a hollow sculpture, the memory that is missing here and there makes Xia Shuanghan soberly realize that the reason why her memory is abnormal is that it is definitely a brain lesion caused by pathological reasons. After all, except for the memories of getting along with Lu Shaoyun, she could clearly recall other parts that had nothing to do with him.
In order to have an accurate control and understanding of his own situation, Xia Shuanghan, who maintained his composure on his face, began to quietly write his memoirs. Subsequently, after many days of repeated tests and comparisons of "recording today and repeating tomorrow", she had an intuitive and accurate judgment of her memory loss.
The memory of Xia Shuanghan's present life is like two candles placed parallel to each other and lit from both ends of the candle at the same time: the upper candle represents the past life, and the lower candle represents the present life.
The left end of the candle takes the first day of the first month of the year of Yichou as the starting point of burning; At the right end of the candle, the position of lighting the flame is set at the moment when Xia Shuanghan died in his previous life.
Of course, although the right end of the candle in this life is in an indescribable suspended state because it represents the future that Xia Shuanghan has not experienced, the remaining three candle flames burn every day for the same length of time.
"It's okay now, I believe that when the candle burns to the midpoint, whether in the past life or in this life, there is nothing about Tingxuan and what happened in the past six years, I can't remember."
Xia Shuanghan knew very well that the fading of his memories was like when Lu Shaoyun learned about the things that happened around the two of them in his previous life when he was stimulated by her distress, and it was impossible to control or reverse them through human efforts.
Therefore, after thinking about this, even if Xia Shuanghan had a little panic and surprise because of her strange situation, she still quickly calmed down, regained her senses, and began to think further about what she should do to better deal with such a situation.
Except for the clip of getting along with Lu Shaoyun, she can recall the other parts very clearly, which is a good thing in Xia Shuanghan's opinion - at least, if she just forgets Lu Shaoyun, then it will not actually cause much difficulty and obstacle to her survival. It's just that although daily life will not be affected, what should she do with Lu Shaoyun's relationship problems?
In Xia Shuanghan's view, feelings, as an emotion, do not belong to the category of memory, so it should not be changed and lost because of her amnesia, just like physical abilities such as horseback riding, archery, and water purging.
However, there will be no love and no unprovoked hatred between people, if she forgets the things stored in the "six-year candle" and the things between them, will Lu Shaoyun stay in her memory The moment he last appeared?
Putting aside how things will develop after the time of this life crosses the point of her death in her previous life, just looking at her memories before the age of twenty-three, there is no doubt that Lu Shaoyun, who came back from the border with all the soldiers, will be the only impression Xia Shuanghan has of him as an adult.
It's just a pity that although this relationship made her have a lot of good feelings for him, this good impression was not enough for her to marry him desperately. Before the expiration of the "three-year covenant" with Su Yixing, Xia Shuanghan's memory candle is bound to burn out, so will she still remember the promise she made that she would definitely marry Lu Shaoyun in the future?
"On reflection, it seems that there are two paths in front of me now. Or, it was me who broke the agreement with Su Yixing, tried every means to reconcile with him in advance, and married Ting Xuan before the 'candle' burned out. Either that, I will stay to complete the three-year covenant and leave the matter of 'pursuing me again' to Tingxuan to worry about. ”
Let the husband, who retains the memories of his past life and this life, pursue the wife who has completely forgotten his husband, regardless of whether this is too cruel to the man who is the husband, but judging from Su Yixing, who is eyeing him at any time, Xia Shuanghan thinks that the second way is not advisable.
Although Su Yixing said that he would return her freedom as soon as the three-year appointment arrived, Xia Shuanghan was not sure whether he would let go happily after three years. Therefore, if she continues to put the name of "Xiangyang Wang Shifei" on her head, is it possible that Su Yixing will use this to set up obstacles for her and Lu Shaoyun after discovering her memory loss problem, and then prevent her from leaving the mansion?
The problem of amnesia, Xia Shuanghan believes that even if he tries his best, it is impossible to completely hide it. After all, Su Yixing, who knew the relationship between her and Lu Shaoyun, lived in the closest place to her. Observing her at such a close distance every day, her abnormality would sooner or later be discovered by him.
"Isn't that the only way left to go? However, the difficulty of taking the first path is no less difficult than taking the second path! ”
Before Xia Shuanghan realized that he began to have symptoms of memory loss, Lu Shaoyun, who was tasked with escorting the envoys of the vassal countries into Beijing, had already set off to leave Beijing. Therefore, at this stage, Mo said that he was married to Lu Shaoyun, but he wanted to discuss his situation with him, but Xia Shuanghan couldn't do it.
So, since it can't be done at this stage, can they wait for Lu Shaoyun to come back in a month, and then start planning together to divorce and remarry in advance? The answer is no.
After his own records for several days, Xia Shuanghan realized such a problem: the three-point flame at both ends of the "candle" burned faster every day. The memoirs written in detail can no longer keep up with the speed at which she checks her memories every day. Now, memoirs have been transformed into a timeline of events that makes it easier to grasp the progress of memory loss.
Every day, I looked at the ticks and crosses on the timetable, checked how much summer frost and cold I had left in my memory, and roughly deduced the time when "the candle burned out completely" based on my own marks. What made her feel desperate was that the deadline for "candle burning" was just before Lu Shaoyun returned to Beijing.
"It's really too good to be good now, and if I don't have time to tell Ting Xuan about such an important matter in person, he will completely become a stranger in my heart."
Helplessly laughed, muttered to himself in a low voice Xia Shuanghan, who had properly placed the timetable, and after returning to the desk and sitting down, he picked up the pen and wrote a letter intended to be handed over to Lu Shaoyun.
At the same time, Su Yixing, who had also learned about Xia Shuanghan's memory loss problem, was secretly thinking about how to use this matter to achieve the purpose of keeping Xia Shuanghan by his side permanently. (To be continued.) )
