"It's Li He, the historian of the Hanlin Academy." Feng Zixi replied softly.

Su Shanyun once again felt something blocking her chest/mouth, and hurriedly reached out to cover it.

"Did something happen to him or his family?" Su Shanyun asked hurriedly.

"He and his wife were killed, and his uncle was seriously injured."

"Was it an accident or was it man-made?" Su Shanyun couldn't hold back the shock and asked.

Feng Zixi sat down and said as if he was going to have a long talk: "After learning the news, I immediately went to inquire with the relevant people, it was artificial." ”

Su Shanyun waited quietly for him to continue.

"It is said that when Li He returned from the palace, he found that his wife Liu Yiyuan was with his uncle Li Tingyu, and the two were very close, and he suspected that his wife was having an affair with his uncle, and he suspected that the child his wife was carrying was his uncle's, so he killed his wife with a sword in a fit of rage, and his uncle was also stabbed in the left arm by the sword when he intervened to stop it, but fortunately he was not stabbed in the vital point, so he saved his life. When he saw that his wife was dead, he stabbed his sword into his heart. ”

Su Shanyun was so frightened when she heard it that she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Feng Zixi continued: "According to Liu Yiyuan's personal maid Dongqing: Liu Yiyuan has always respected Li He's uncle Li Tingyu very much, but whenever there is something that he can't decide, he will ask him for advice, and Li Tingyu, as Li He's own uncle, regards her and Li He as his daughter-in-law and son, so every time he meets her for advice, he is very active in helping, and the two are more connected, so it is inevitable to talk a few more words when they meet. But according to Dong Qing, although their relationship is good, they have not done anything out of the way. ”

"So, was this a misunderstanding?" Su Shanyun asked.

"So to speak. By the way, I heard that there is another important trigger for this incident: Liu Yiyuan has a personal maid named Qiuyun in addition to Dongqing. Qiu Yun is beautiful and good at pleasing Li He, so the two have gotten along recently. Li He intended to take Qiuyun as a concubine, but Liu Yiyuan objected, and the two had a big quarrel because of this, and then they started a cold war. This Qiuyun is also a person with a lot of city government, and she often told Li He about rumors between Liu Yiyuan and Li Tingyu since Liu Yiyuan objected. Li He had previously encountered Li Tingyu and Liu Yiyuan talking intimately together several times. I was already a little suspicious of the relationship between them, but now that I heard Qiu Yun's description of chasing wind and shadow day after day, I really believed in the 'un/legitimate' relationship between the two of them. ”

Because I didn't want Li He to take Qiuyun as a concubine, I didn't want to make the relationship between husband and wife too stiff. So Liu Yiyuan took advantage of the opportunity of Li Tingyu passing by his door to invite him into the house to talk about this matter, hoping that he would help come up with an idea. I didn't want the two of them to walk under the wooden roots of the garden, and when they were seen by Li He, who came back from the lower office. The misunderstanding and dissatisfaction accumulated over time made Li He lose his mind, and rushed straight forward with his sword, so the scene mentioned earlier happened. Feng Zixi said.

Su Shanyun closed her eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.

Past. Li He jumped to his death at the age of 16.

In this life, Li He killed himself at the age of twenty.

The age difference between the two lives is only three years.

She thought that in this life, he should not take the same path in his previous life, but she didn't expect him to take that road in the end.

Although the reason for his suicide in this life is different from that in his previous life, it still makes Su Shanyun feel a heartache.

After a long time, a tear overflowed from the corner of Su Shanyun's eye.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Feng Zixi asked with concern.

"I'm fine, you can step back first." Su Shanyun said.

Feng Zixi immediately got up and retired.

Su Shanyun got up from her seat, only to find that her legs were so weak that she couldn't move at all, so she had to sit back on the chair again.

Mama Song walked over after putting the sleeping Brother Liang on the crib.

Seeing Su Shanyun sitting there with a pale face, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Madame, where is she uncomfortable?" ”

Su Shanyun waved his hand.

I thought that Mama Song also knew Li He. Su Shanyun said to Mama Song: "Li He killed himself last night. ”

It took a while for Mama Song to come to her senses.

However, Mama Song was not very surprised.

In Mama Song's impression, Li He is sensitive, withdrawn, stubborn, and has a very tense relationship with people and society, so she thinks that this tragic ending is inevitable, and it is just a matter of time.

In fact, Su Shanyun also expected this, but he didn't want to believe it.

Thinking of Li He in his past and present lives, as well as the entanglements between him and himself in his past and present lives, Su Shanyun felt that he was more or less responsible for his death.

Su Shanyun burst into tears again.

"Ma'am, you don't need to blame yourself." Mama Song hurriedly comforted.

Su Shanyun only felt that there were many things to say in her heart. But I couldn't say a word.

She shook her head and got up and went back to her room.

On the way back to the room from the living room, Su Shanyun was crumbling several times, but fortunately, Mama Song was on the side to help her in time to avoid falling.

Back in the room, Su Shanyun said to Mama Song, "I want to stay alone for a while." You go out first. ”

Mama Song glanced at her uneasily, and saw that her expression had regained her calmness, so she gently closed the door and went out.

Su Shanyun spread out the pen and paper and wrote:

The moon is weekly, and the relatives are stunned.

Sadness and emotion come, and weeping should be loved.

Drive the words of Zhidongfu, look at the grave and think about it.

Wander among the ruins. I can't bear to go back.

Wandering and can't bear to go, he hesitates.

The side of the deciduous committee, the corner of the grave with the withered cane.

The lonely soul is alone, and the soul knows nothing. ①

After writing, Su Shanyun put down the pen with a long sigh.

The sky outside the window today was exceptionally bright, but this brightness stung Su Shanyun's face and made her burst into tears unconsciously.

After a long time, Su Shanyun said to the bright sky outside the window: "Brother Yi, go all the way!" ”

Two days later, Su Shanyun learned from Feng Zixi that Li He and his wife had been buried this morning.

Their funerals were all handled by Li Tingyu.

Li Tingyu originally wanted to bury Li He and Liu Yiyuan in the same tomb, but Liu Yiyuan's father Liu Qingchi resolutely objected, so he had to bury them separately.

After taking care of this matter, Li Tingyu automatically asked the yamen to resign, and the yamen is currently trying its best to keep him.

Su Shanyun learned the detailed address of Li He's cemetery from Feng Zixi, so she brought wreaths, paper money, incense candles and fruits to worship.

coincides with the dream Su Shanyun had that day - Li He's cemetery is located in a dense bamboo forest halfway up the mountain, and the location happens to be a slope.

But Su Shanyun still had the courage to go up.

After offering Li He wreaths, incense candles, fruits and other things, Su Shanyun knelt down and kowtowed to him three times.

When she stood up, she staggered, and the whole person fell straight behind her, but fortunately, Mama Song and the guards quickly helped her, so that she did not fall down the hillside.

"Brother Yi, the grievances and hatreds in the past and this life are all over, please have a happy life in the future." She said silently in her heart.
