Chapter III: Abetment
"Don't say such unlucky things!" Du Yunying interrupted Du Yunnuo.
Du Yunnuo pursed his lips: "How could I say something wrong?" Third sister, you think, over the years, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is really ...... When Yong'an was nine years old, we were still young and didn't see that scene, and you forgot what happened four years ago? ”
Four years ago, fourteen years of Yong'an.
Du Yunying shuddered.
In that first month, there was no laughter in the capital.
When the city gate opened, the procession of Fuling returning to Beijing was accompanied by white paper and copper coins in the sky, and the crying was so suppressed that people would never forget.
Marquis Dingyuan, his eldest son, and third son died in battle, counting the four sons who died in the ninth year of Yong'an to save their father, and Marquis Dingyuan only has one son left.
And Mu Lianxiao is the only bloodline left by the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan.
When he entered Beijing with the spiritual throne in his hand, he was only twelve years old.
Full of loyalty, how many widows are left behind!
In that family, it seems that widowhood is the norm.
Du Yunying felt scared, but Du Yunluo only had anger and hatred.
It's all a conspiracy!
She closed her eyes, her mind full of suffocating cries, and she saw herself standing outside the gate of the Hou Mansion in her filial piety clothes, staring at the team that was getting closer and closer.
The jet-black coffin was like a rock, and she couldn't breathe.
The fingertips brushed the spirit card, and it was cold to the bone.
No matter how many years have passed, she will never forget that moment.
The moment Mu Lianxiao was sent back to the capital.
The hand hanging by his side was clenched tightly, leaving a row of crescent marks in his palm, Du Yunluo came back to his senses: "I remember." ”
In the twenty-fifth year of Yong'an, she became a widow.
Du Yunnuo thought that she was talking about the fourteenth year of Yong'an, and nodded again and again: "Marry to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and be the wife of the prince, look at the infinite scenery, our Du family's face is gone, but the one who lives in it is the fifth sister!" Now the frontier is still not peaceful, and no one can say for sure when the prince will go on the expedition. When the time comes, he went to the front line, and you are afraid in the capital, not to mention, in case, there is a case, what will happen in the future? If you want me to say, while my grandfather didn't make up his mind, I hurriedly begged him, with the background of the Du family, the prince and the general, let's not climb the high branches, there are still many official eunuchs who are in the right household. There are so many sons of families in the capital, there is always a suitable one, and peace and security are the most important. ”
In order to consider her sister, she even said about marriage that should not be talked about, which can be described as a heart-to-heart.
In the past, Du Yunluo really listened to it.
And now, she finally understands that Du Yunnuo's focus is on "begging her grandfather", she wants Du Yunluo to cause trouble, to argue with her grandfather and grandmother, she wants Du Yunluo to fall out of favor.
Du Yunying reacted quickly, and had her own little Jiujiu, even if she understood, her eyes rolled, and she hurriedly helped to persuade: "It's not!" What is the difference between marrying a soldier and gambling? It's a lifetime of gambling. The fifth sister, the third aunt, must be reluctant. ”
As soon as Du Yunnuo saw that he had a helper, he added another fire: "I'm so anxious, I'm afraid that my grandfather will agree." I secretly told you, I heard my parents talk that day, my father called my grandfather a while ago and reprimanded, grandfather said that he didn't want to make progress, so he was a temple in the Taifu Temple, the eldest uncle was released, Lingdong is not a good place, and I don't know when I can be a return official to Beijing, the third uncle is in the Ministry of Rites, the six departments of that place, sharpened the head may not be able to climb up, the Du family wants to be as glorious as grandfather when he was in office, I am afraid it is difficult. The grandfather was unwilling, so he could only scold his father. Fifth sister, if the Du family and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion are in-laws, but there is one more big backer, if the prince is unlucky, the Du family may go one step further, I heard that Mrs. Mu's maiden family is soaring. ”
"What's the difference between this and selling your fifth sister!" Du Yunying was stunned, "This, this...... Ay! ”
Du Yunluo snorted coldly in her heart, the Zhou family's mother's family is developed, and it is not the father-in-law who died in battle, but the children of the Zhou family, who are competitive and talented, and have a good reputation in Beijing, but some people are red-eyed and have to play with their tongues.
No matter how sober Du Yunluo was at this moment, she was furious back then.
She was afraid that her grandfather and grandmother would "sell" her for the future of the Du family, she was afraid that she would be a widow in the future as her sisters said, she rushed into Lianfu Yuan, in exchange for the scolding and punishment of her grandfather and grandmother, she cried and went to her mother for help, but in Qinghui Garden, Zhen gave her an ear scraper.
She froze in place, she thought that her mother had abandoned her for the sake of her father and brother's future, obviously Du Yunying said that her mother must be reluctant to gamble, but the fact is ......
Du Yunluo cried for a day and a night.
Xu was because of her resistance that the Marquis of Dingyuan felt that he had lost face, and this family business was over.
But I don't want to, a "fate" in the summer, and put this marriage on the table again.
Dear, in the end, it was decided, and the wedding date was set three years later.
An edict allowed Mu Lianxiao to go on the expedition, and even brought the wedding date forward, and Du Yunluo, who was holding the holy decree, seemed to see a gloomy future.
Until the moment she got on the sedan chair, she was still struggling.
It was Zhen who held scissors against her neck and forced her to get into the sedan chair.
This is also the reason why after Mu Lianxiao's death, she decided to tear her face with her mother's family.
It is clear that she saw this possibility back then, and it is clear that she has talked back and forth countless times about the risks of this big gamble, but the Du family, no one listened to her, they treated her as a chess piece to pave the way for promotion.
It wasn't until after her mother passed away that Du Yunluo slowly figured it out a lot.
Zhen loves her, and her parents have their helplessness.
Zhen beat her, but he also knelt in the Lotus Fuyuan without telling everyone, so that this initial temptation could not be over.
In the end, it was the grandfather who nodded, and Zhen couldn't do anything.
When the holy decree arrives at the Du family, who has the ability to resist? If Du Yunluo resists the order, the Du family will not only be embarrassed, but will lose their lives.
Zhen has no choice but to die.
Du Yunluo thought that she hurt her mother too much, and she hurt Du Yunru and Du Yundi and hated her.
This time, it shouldn't be like that.
She is willing to do this family business.
She won't let Mu Lianxiao die in vain, she dares to bet, she wants to bet!
Seeing that Du Yunluo didn't react, Du Yunying gently pushed her: "Scared?" I'm scared now, and I'm going to cry in the future! If you don't dare to tell your grandfather and grandmother, go to the third aunt and ask her to help you intercede. ”
"Why wouldn't I?" Du Yunluo raised her eyebrows and asked her.
She said the same thing back then, she couldn't stand the excitement, so she rushed into Lianfuyuan at one point.
Du Yunying was overjoyed in her heart, and said, "Then go quickly, this matter should be sooner rather than later." ”
Du Yunluo bowed her head and turned around to go to Lianfu Garden.
The hour was not early, except for Du Yunru, who had delayed some work to serve the sick Zhen, the main room was full of people.
Du Yunluo nodded, picked up the curtain and went in, and saluted.
Mrs. Xia glanced at the three sisters: "Yo, this is really a coincidence, obviously not going way, but the three of them are late together." ”
Du Gongfu sat on the Luohan bed and took a sip of tea: "They usually go in and out together, this one is coming, what's strange." ”
Mrs. Xia was dismissed, and turned her head to sulk.
Du Gongfu lectured, and let everyone disperse.
Du Yunluo walked up to leave, Du Yunying looked at her again and again, and she didn't see it.
Du Yunnuo was a little anxious, and took Du Yunluo's hand: "Fifth sister, ......"
Old Mrs. Xia looked at it in her eyes and said, "What's wrong?" If you have something to say, just say it. ”
