Chapter 32: Hypocrisy
Hearing this, Mrs. He nodded thoughtfully, and then said anxiously, "Is it too late for us to join King Qi now?" What if, I mean, what if the Qin family wins? ”
Mrs. He's face was tangled, and she was in a dilemma.
"That's why we have to make a choice!" After he finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "Now the commander who came to attack Yingtian is the third prince of Song, when did the Song family lose a battle?" Ying Tianfu is now empty of troops, how can he be their opponent? Didn't you just swear that the Qin family would definitely lose, why did you hesitate now? ”
"Isn't that bottomless in my heart! Isn't there a way to have it both ways? Mrs. He frowned and said, "No matter which side wins, we will not suffer." "At the end of the day, you don't want to take risks.
"Stop dreaming. There is no such good thing in the world. The head of the He family yawned and lay down again, sneered at Mrs. He's mention, and said vaguely: "Okay, don't think about sleeping, wait until tomorrow to ask Ting'er and see the situation." If, as she said, he is valued by King Qi, it is not too late for us to take refuge. ”
When Mrs. He heard this, she could only give up.
The next day, early in the morning, the He couple had breakfast and went to see He Yunting.
He Yunting is still locked up until now, living all day long without going out of the door and being helped by her little sister.
Although her news is not very well-informed, but thanks to those broken-mouthed mothers-in-law and maids, she also knows about Song Liangxiu leading the army to attack Yingtian.
After all, this matter is the most important event that has happened recently, and the entire Ying Tianfu is very concerned, and even the people in the mansion are worried, speculating about what is happening outside all day long, and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, although it is suspected of exaggeration, but it is enough for He Yunting to extract the information she needs from it.
This incident can be regarded as bad news for all the people of Yingtianfu, but for He Yunting, it is a happy event.
Since knowing about this, He Yunting felt that her whole person had come back to life, the sky was blue, the water was green, even the air seemed to be much fresher than before, and the people had no time to show her face, she felt that her heart and the blood of her whole body were all about to move, and she couldn't wait to look forward to Song Liangxiu's arrival.
After this period of time, she has thought clearly, and no longer wants to ask for the Qi Wu who can be seen and touched, anyway, he has never looked at himself squarely and disdains her, why should she still hold on to him? Hmph, it's not that no one wants her, He Yunting. There's a better candidate waiting for her!
Song Liangxiu is gentle and handsome, considerate, and values her, is that not better than Qi Wuqiang, who doesn't know the roots?
She decided that after seeing Song Liangxiu this time, she would show him her heart and assist him wholeheartedly, maybe who would be able to sit on that supreme throne in the future!
Moreover, she had an extremely sweet guess in her heart, Song Liangxiu would attack Yingtian, was it part of the reason for her?
If this is the case, then he really has a deep affection for himself, and what reason does she have to live up to the other party's affection?
The more she thought about it, the more she smiled.
can only hate that there is no one available around him, Song Liangxiu left him to protect his guards, they were all caught, and now I don't know whether they are dead or alive, and she was broken wings and locked in the cage of the He family, suffering a lot.
However, she thought that the opportunity for her to turn over would probably come soon.
She still knows a little about her cheap parents, and the typical unprofitable can't afford to be early, before they took refuge in the Qin family, afraid of being affected by her, regardless of their flesh and blood affection, they locked her up. She didn't believe that after they heard the news that Song Liangxiu led the army to attack Yingtian, they could calm down and not come to her.
At this time, Cheng Guogong was not in Yingtian, they must be afraid that Yingtian would be attacked, and their ideas would definitely be shaken at that time, as long as they came to her, she would win, and she would have the confidence to make all kinds of demands with them, and when the time came, there would always be a way to see Song Liangxiu.
It's just that whether she helps the He family or not, it depends on her mood.
Things turned out to be as He Yunting expected, the He couple really came to her, although it was a little later than she expected, but in the end they came.
However, when the He couple came, she was still sleeping lazy, anyway, even if she slept until three o'clock in the morning, those subordinates would not care about her.
used to be more or less self-defeating, but now, after she has hope and confidence in her heart, she is even more fearless.
After hearing the trembling report of the servant woman kneeling on the ground, a trace of anger flashed on his face, and he pointed at them and said angrily: "What kind of system is this? Why don't you go and call your eldest lady up! ”
The servants secretly complained in their hearts, they thought that He Yunting had completely fallen out of favor and could no longer be valued by the head of the family, and they usually sneered at the eldest lady, where did they think that the lord and the lady would deign to come to this small courtyard.
Even if they want to see the eldest lady, they should send someone to summon them! Why bother to condescend and run in person? This is obviously the expression of valuing the eldest lady!
No matter how much the maids regret it, they can only panic and call the eldest lady to get up.
The head of the He family looked around, glanced at the courtyard that looked extremely desolate, and remembered that when he came, those subordinates were either eating and playing cards, or talking and laughing, and no one was serving inside, and he inevitably felt a trace of guilt in his heart for his eldest daughter.
But he would not attribute the mistake to himself, but instead angered those subordinates, and said angrily: "These subordinates are really not like words, no matter how you say it, Ting'er is also the eldest lady of He Mansion, how can she be so slack?" It's time to get out of the board, the eldest lady of our He family, can they be ruined by these lowly subordinates? ”
Mrs. He had already emotionally red eyes, and when she didn't look down on her daughter before, she was very disgusted, but now when she used her daughter, she felt that she was very good, and suddenly moved her mother's heart and said, "Isn't it? I didn't know that my own daughter was living like this. I thought that even if it was confined, it should be brocade clothes and jade food, and this group of slaves deserved to die. ”
Kneeling on the ground, the people heard the words, and they all shivered, but they didn't dare to defend themselves, so they could only cry out for mercy with tears in their eyes.
But how did the Ho couple bypass them? In order to shirk their responsibilities and regain their daughter's trust, these people must make sacrifices, and they are the best scapegoats.
It's not their ruthlessness as parents, they don't care about her, they are all these subordinates who disobey and make their own opinions.
The head of the He family was also full of anger, and he looked indignant.
When the two entered the living room, they found that the furnishings in the house were even more shabby, and they didn't even have a hot tea, and they felt more and more guilty about this daughter, thinking that they must compensate her well in the future.
Despite this, they don't think that their daughter will resent them, after all, they are her parents, as long as they say a few good words and complain again, are they afraid that their daughter will not change her mind?
Therefore, when they waited for He Yunting to get up, their expressions were very calm.
By the time He Yunting finished washing, it was already half an hour later.
Even so, the He couple was not dissatisfied, but when they saw He Yunting, they showed pity, and Mrs. He stepped forward to protect He Yunting in a gaffe, crying loudly, just like reuniting with her long-lost daughter, and crying: "My poor daughter...... You've suffered, I'm really sorry for you......"
Although it is exaggerated, it can be regarded as a true expression, not all of them are acting, in the end, they were conceived and born in October.
He Yunting was full of black lines, and she was very disapproving, she had no feelings for her cheap parents for a long time, but in order to achieve her goal, she still made a little moved, and squeezed out a few tears to show that she was not indifferent.
Seeing this, the head of the He family was very relieved in his heart, touching his beard and looking at it with a smile.
It wasn't until Mrs. He had cried enough that she wiped her tears and let go of He Yunting, looked her up and down and said, "Ting'er, you are thin again, it's all bad for your mother......"
He Yunting endured the rejection and nausea in her heart, as well as goosebumps all over her body, and reluctantly hooked her lips and said: "Don't blame my mother, I am my father's flesh and blood, how can my father and mother be willing to see me suffer?" I knew it must have been these people, so I never blamed my parents......
Speaking of this, she really couldn't go on, otherwise, she was really afraid that she would vomit, so she took a deep breath and asked, "Why did my father and mother suddenly come to see me?" ”
The head of the He family and Mrs. He couldn't help but glance at each other, the head of the He family glanced at his wife, Mrs. He smiled, took her hand and said, "Your father and I haven't seen you for months, and I really miss you in my heart, so I can't help but come over to see you." I didn't expect ...... Fortunately, we came, otherwise, my Ting'er, I don't know how much more I would have suffered? Don't worry, I won't let go of any of those subordinates who snub you. ”
He Yunting lowered her eyes to prevent them from seeing the disapproval in her eyes, but said: "My daughter has done so many things wrong, and my father and mother still care about me so much, my daughter is really ...... My daughter has already reflected, and she will no longer mention the words of going to King Qi, nor will she mention the matter of running away from home, and I will be filial to my father and mother at home in the future. ”
The faces of the head of the He family and Mrs. He stiffened when they heard this, and the head of the He family coughed lightly and said, "Where is it so strict?" Your determination, your mother and I have seen it, you are so loyal to King Qi, you don't hesitate to run away from home to join him, how can you say give up! Your mother and I are not such unreasonable people. ”
When He Yunting heard this, she raised her head as if she was very surprised, looked at them in disbelief and said, "Daddy, you ......."
Then, she shook her head again and said, "No, no, no, how can I let the He family take this risk for me?" What if you are angered by the Qin family? Then I will be the sinner of my family. ”
The head of the He family and Mrs. He were very pleased with this, and felt that their daughter had really reflected, but now the situation was different from before, and they wished that their daughter would quickly join King Qi!
So, the head of the He family said again: "You don't have to worry about this, in fact, I have discussed it with your mother before you mentioned it, and I think it is not necessary to do that." It's just that we have our own concerns, and you have to understand us. ”
He Yunting nodded and said: "Of course I understand my father's and mother's suffering, after all, this is about the life of our clan, and my daughter will not joke with the lives of the clan." ”
"That's good!" The head of the He family was even more satisfied, at this time, he pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Ting'er, there is one more thing, I have to ask you, what is your relationship with King Qi?" Does he really trust you that much? ”
He Yunting showed a hesitant look on her face, and her eyes were a little evasive, which made the He couple suddenly chuckle in their hearts, their faces were a little ugly, and a bad premonition rose in their hearts.
Definitely, my daughter has been cheating on them all along!
Sure enough, I saw He Yunting biting her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Actually, my daughter and King Qi have never met a few times. ”
"What?!" The He couple were shocked, and the head of the He family stood up from the chair in a gaffe, stared at her with a blue face and asked, "Could it be that you have been lying to us before?" ”
"Ting'er, this is about the future of our He family, you must not lie!" Mrs. He also said anxiously.
He Yunting lowered her eyes, covering the sarcasm in her eyes, shook her head slightly and said: "This kind of thing, how dare I lie, my daughter is really not familiar with King Qi." ”
"Then you still say that you want our family to take refuge in him? You...... Aren't you kidding our entire He family? You...... You are really ......" The head of the He family was so angry that he almost turned his face with her, but because of the little hope and scruples in his heart, he controlled his temper.
"That's not right, if King Qi doesn't pay attention to you, why would he send someone to protect you?" Mrs. He said in surprise.
And later, those people were arrested by the Qin family, and they even made a contribution inside.
He Yunting secretly hooked her lips, feeling that she was almost done, and if she continued, it would be self-defeating, so she raised her head and said seriously: "That is not the handiwork of King Qi, but the guards sent by my lord Song Liangxiu and Marshal Song to protect me." The daughter's allegiance at the beginning was not to King Qi, but to Marshal Song. The daughter is just pulling the tiger skin to make a banner. ”
