271. 272 One step away, ask for a monthly pass
If before, Li Jingtian was still the last straw for Ling Hu Pingxue, then now this straw has lost its original weight and importance in Ling Hu Pingxue's eyes, and has become fragile.
Even so, Linghu Pingxue has no one to ask for, only this uncle.
"Uncle, save me! I really haven't done anything like that! Someone framed me and wronged me! Uncle, you want to save me! I don't want to be locked up in a firewood room! ”
Linghu Pingxue grabbed Li Jingtian's sleeve tightly, for fear that even Li Jingtian wouldn't care about her.
Now that her mother is gone, her eldest brother is locked up alone in another courtyard, Zilu is also far away in the mountains, and she is left alone in the second room.
"It's not up to you to do it or not! Come! Pull it down! Linghu Hongxi ordered loudly, and all the family members didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and they all stepped forward to pull Linghu Pingxue.
Li Jingtian wanted to stop it, but after all, this was the Hou Mansion, and Linghu Pingxue was only his niece. And what really broke him today was Li Xinjin's letter.
And what makes Hu Hongxi angry now is also because of that letter.
Could it be that Li Xinjin would write a letter and deliberately wronged his daughter? As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good, so Hu Hongxi really can't think of any other reason for Li Xinjin to wronged her most beloved daughter.
"I don't want to go to the backyard! Don't! Mother! Mother, wake up! You woke up and told your father that someone had wronged your daughter! Father, I am your most beloved daughter! I grew up with you, how did I treat my father? Has my father forgotten it? How can a daughter hurt her mother? Linghu Pingxue cried and crawled in front of Linghu Hongxi, grabbing the corner of his robe tightly, she only reacted now, it was Linghu Hongxi who was in charge of the house, the old lady fainted, Linghu Quan has always disliked her, those aunts or something, usually she doesn't even look at them with white eyes, which will be even more watching her fall and snickering.
Only Linghu Hongxi still has a father-daughter affection for her.
Linghu Pingxue is no longer as glamorous as when he just attended the dinner, the makeup on his face is all spent, the clothes on his body are also wrinkled, Zhu Hai is scattered, and his face is sad.
At this moment, she is actually no different from an ordinary woman on the street, the once radiant Linghu Pingxue is just because of her status and the supply of brocade clothes and food, leaving these, she is just a flower in the greenhouse, and she will soon wither and wither.
It's just that Linghu Pingxue only understands this truth now.
Linghu Hongxi because of Linghu Pingxue's words, gradually recalled the bits and pieces of the past, this daughter is indeed his most beloved daughter, although the seven-year-old Linghu Manyue is sensible, but the personality is too quiet and shy, and often hides behind people, but Linghu Pingxue is different, she has been a beauty embryo since she was a child, and she is generous, lively and kind, so Linghu Hongxi's favorite daughter since childhood is her.
After all, it's his own daughter, if he really wants to be locked up-
Seeing that Linghu Hongxi's attitude seemed to be softening, Full Moon quietly stepped forward and wanted to help Linghu Pingxue.
"Don't touch me! You go away! ”
Linghu Pingxue immediately seemed to have exploded, and pushed away the full moon with a snort.
Full Moon was stunned, and looked at Linghu Hongxi aggrievedly,
"Father, the daughter didn't mean anything else, just looked at the second sister without her mother, and thought of her mother, when the mother was shocked, the daughter empathized, in fact, she wanted to help the second sister and forgive her, who knew that the second sister did this to me? Is it that I don't pursue the past anymore, and I can't make the second sister a new person? ”
Full Moon deliberately mentioned her mother's difficult birth.
Because the confession letter of the second lady also mentioned that when the full moon mother was pregnant, she deliberately wore clothes smoked with fennel spices, forcing the full moon mother to smell the smell and give birth prematurely, and finally died of dystocia. For so many years, the old lady has been complaining that the full moon is a saoba star, and her mother has died!
Now it seems that all the past was just planned by the second lady.
is also a daughter who has lost her mother, but at this moment, she has a high and low opinion in front of Linghu Hongxi. The calmness and calmness of the fox full moon are decent and generous, and it seems that the fox Pingxue is useless.
The feelings that Hu Hongxi still had in his heart a moment ago have been blown away at this moment.
"Drag it off!" His tone was resolute and cold, unmistakable.
Full Moon retreated behind Ling Huquan with a helpless look on his face, a cold streamer was hidden in his eyes, and the cold air that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to be about to burst out immediately.
Even if the second lady dies a hundred times, can she get her mother's life back?
Can she get back the one she lost?
Li Xinjin is just to blame!
Linghu Pingxue cried all the way and was dragged down.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
The old lady had been helped back to Fenglan Garden by Qiu Jixuan.
Zhao Yu'er didn't dare to step forward to comfort Linghu Hongxi at this time. She had never seen Linghu Hongxi with red eyes and so angry.
Aunt Wu was also helped back to her yard by Linghu Qiuyu.
Originally, it was a mess of Xiuyayuan, but at this moment, only Full Moon, Linghu Hongxi, Linghu Quan, Zhao Yuer, and Li Jingtian remained.
and a corpse lying on the ground. Even though Li Jingtian has been fighting on the battlefield for several years, he can't accept the news of his sister's death at once. He hadn't seen his sister for three years, who would have thought that seeing him today would be goodbye!
Li Jingtian looked at the cold corpse lying on the ground, slowly leaned over, and hugged Li Xinjin.
My sister can't become Linghu Hongxi's wife until she dies, and she can't be buried in the ancestral grave of the Hou Mansion. Linghu Hongxi may not feel it, but Li Jingtian's thoughts about his sister are clear, she wants to be Linghu Hongxi's favorite woman all her life, and she wants to be his wife.
In the end, because of an inexplicable confession letter, he committed suicide?
"Master Hou, Sister Shemei is not your wife, and she can't be buried in the ancestral grave of Houfu, so I will bring my sister's body back for burial."
After finishing speaking, Li Jingtian turned around slowly, and regardless of whether Linghu Hongxi agreed or not, he walked out with the cold corpse in his arms.
The maids and ladies in the courtyard avoided one after another.
The second lady is usually in front of her face and behind her back, and she has long been famous, and a group of maids and women just dare to be angry and dare not speak, but now that the second lady is dead, there is not even a crying and mourning subordinate, and everyone is an expression of avoidance that cannot be avoided.
The second lady is miserable now, and before she died, it seemed that it was only one step away from the position of the wife she had pursued for more than ten years.
And this step away has become a goal that can never be achieved.
It stands to reason that even if the second lady is not the wife, the body should not be taken away by Li Jingtian, but the current situation is so complicated that it is difficult to explain in detail. Ling Hu Hongxi has no other better idea than to agree for the time being.
Ling Hu Hongxi sat heavily on the chair behind him, his eyes were in a trance, and his thoughts were chaotic.
After all, he was the one who had been by his side for more than ten years, and he just left, leaving him with an incomprehensible mess, which made Linghu Hongxi experience what it was like to be exhausted for the first time.
"Steward Tang—Steward Tang—" Ling Hu Hongxi shouted Steward Tang's name tiredly.
"Big brother, Steward Tang was arranged by you to accompany His Second Highness and Third Highness before." Ling Hu Quan hurriedly stepped forward to remind Ling Hu Hongxi.
Even if the eldest brother's feelings for the second lady have long faded, he can feel that the eldest brother's heart has been hollowed out at this moment.
Getting along day and night for more than ten years does not mean that you can accept it all at once.
"—really? That—you accompany me back to Qianyun Pavilion. Linghu Hongxi was in a trance for a moment before escaping in a low voice.
Ling Huquan nodded, and he was also embarrassed at the moment.
The second lady really deserved to die, but now she committed suicide in fear of sin, and left a letter, and still in front of Li Jingtian, which completely caught everyone in the Hou Mansion off guard.
"Full moon, you go back first, if anything happens, I will let Qiao Qing find you." Ling Hu Quan whispered to the full moon, now in this situation, Ling Hu Hongxi is the head of the family, and he needs his dignity, and the full moon is really not suitable to accompany him to Qianyun Pavilion.
"Yes, Auntie."
Full Moon answered softly, seeing that Ling Huquan put away the confession letter, Full Moon was silent, and lowered his eyes to send Ling Hu Hongxi and Ling Hu Quan away.
And Mother Niu and the others were also gagged, and they all dragged down, waiting for Linghu Hongxi to fall later.
When Linghu Hongxi walked past the full moon, his body paused obviously, and the corner of his eyes seemed to glance at the full moon with a trace of indescribable complexity, and then sighed silently, raised his feet and left Xiuyayuan.
Zhao Yu'er was in place at the moment, and there was a feeling that she was abandoned by Linghu Hongxi in an instant.
His second wife is gone, and the person he needs is only his princess sister, who is his family, who can witness his ups and downs, and she is an outsider after all. At this moment, what he needs is not her tenderness, but Linghuquan's calm experience.
Zhao Yuer wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and the undercarriage of her eyes was stubborn and unwilling.
One day, she will make Linghu Hongxi at a critical juncture, and the first person who comes to mind is her!
"Miss, Yu'er has taken her leave." Zhao Yu'er lightly blessed herself at the full moon, and there was still an unwilling complaint in the corner of her eyes.
Full Moon was not in a hurry to let her go at this time, but walked around Zhao Yu'er, with a condensation and mockery on the corner of her lips, but the words she said made Zhao Yu'er tremble.
"When will Miss Zhao go to the Western Regions again? Don't forget to take me with you when the time comes! The scenery of the Western Regions is infinite and graceful, and the full moon is also longing for it early, especially the cold and warm jade chess pieces! After all, I am my grandmother's granddaughter, and my grandmother will use me more places in the future, so there are some things that can naturally be told to me, Miss Zhao said-isn't it? ”
After finishing speaking, Full Moon turned around leisurely and left Xiuyayuan, leaving Zhao Yuer alone in the same place trembling uncontrollably.
