002 Abandoned concubine
Lamp oil is like beans.
Li Weiyang turned over on the bed and suddenly woke up. She could hear a conversation clearly.
Outside the house, Ma Shi said cautiously: "Mother, do you see if you are looking for someone to see the third miss, after all, she is the person sent by the Li family, and she is really going to die......"
Liu listened to his daughter-in-law's words, but with a cold yellow face, he replied lightly: "This girl really thinks of herself as a great young lady, I have heard someone say that she is a girl who crawls out of the stomach of a foot-washing girl, and she was born in February, she is an out-and-out disaster star, the Li family is a big family, it is not good to kill her directly, so she was thrown to the Li family, a distant relative in Pingcheng, but later the old lady and wife of the Li family fell ill one after another, doesn't this show that she is the culmination?" So send it to our country in a hurry! Hmph, I think she's not only a disaster, but also a lazy thing, pretending to be dead every time she lets her do something, stinky girl! β
Li Weiyang listened to this conversation, and suddenly a clever one, subconsciously glanced around, this room basically has no furniture, only a square table, four wooden benches, and a cabinet for things, and in the end, only the wooden frame bed where he was lying was left.
Here it isβher mind was dazed, and the conversation outside was still coming in clearly.
"When she was in Li's house, there was still someone to serve, where did she do rough work, today she was accidentally dropped into the ice hole to get sick, and she can't be blamed all......" Now that the weather is cold, Liu asked a child in Weiyang to wash clothes on the ice, Ma couldn't bear it, and his tone became more and more confused.
Liu snorted coldly: "There is still a breath of heat in the stomach of the dead man, this young lady is good, doing a little thing, is to push three and hinder, like leading a ghost to the peach tree, what people say is ah, this is the donkey is grinding, if you don't beat it, you can't go, and others take two steps, she has to divide it into three steps." I'm angry when I see her pretending to be sick there, and it's best to just throw it out and freeze to death like this! After speaking, he stared at Ma Shi with a frosty face, "You don't know, you pity this slut, if you pity her, you can help her wash the clothes yourself!" β
Ma Shi hurriedly continued: "Yes, what my mother said is that my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore......"
Liu got up angrily and slammed the door shut.
What's going on? Aren't you dead? How can you lie here? Li Weiyang wanted to move, but she was weak, as if her bones were falling apart, she struggled to see the place clearly, and at this moment, someone outside suddenly opened the curtain and came in.
Soon, Li Weiyang fell into the arms of a man with narrow shoulders, soft chest, and the scent of honey locusts on his body.
"Drink a bowl of porridge, sweat, and your illness will be cured!"
The heat was blowing, but Li Weiyang stared at the woman in front of her with a strange expression as if she had seen a ghost - if she remembered correctly, the peasant woman in front of her about 20 years old was clearly the eldest daughter-in-law of the peasant family where she used to live back then. But how is this possible? I was obviously given death by poisoned wine, but in a blink of an eye, why did I see someone I knew twenty-three years ago again......
She married Tuoba Zhen at the age of sixteen, ascended to the throne eight years later, and then stayed in the cold palace for twelve years, and was thirty-six years old when she died, but Ma was still the same as she was twenty-three years ago, which is simply incredible! She subconsciously glanced at her hand, thin, small, with a faint crescent white on her fingertips.
This is not the hand of a thirty-six-year-old woman, this is the hand of a little girl! Thinking of this, Li Weiyang's eyes had a faint fear in them.
Ma Shi said worriedly: "What, is it still cold on your body?" β
Her voice was full of concern, and it could be heard that she genuinely cared about herself.
"I should find a doctor to show you, but mother...... Alas......"
Li Weiyang looked at the porridge in Ma's hand, I don't know what kind of rice it was boiled from, the smell was weird, but I don't know why, her eyes slowly moistened.
If it's a dream, she hopes it doesn't wake up! Because she has a feeling that she is still alive!
Li Weiyang was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw a person quickly open the curtain from outside and walk in.
Ma was originally holding a bowl of porridge in one hand, and when he peeked at Liu's face, he couldn't help but tremble.
"What are you doing! Don't take it yet! β
Ma Shi was startled, and hurriedly let go of Li Weiyang and stood up, just about to put the bowl on the table, because he was too anxious, the bowl leaned over, and some of the soup was splashed out, and his fingers were very painful, but he endured to put it down.
Seeing that she dared to secretly give Li Weiyang food, Liu also splashed the soup, and a fire became up, and he picked up the bowl of porridge on the table and threw it in Ma's face. only heard a loud sound, drenched in the soup of Ma's body, she jumped up and pointed and scolded: "Little slut, I said that no one is allowed to send her food, you can't hear the words of the old lady, if you don't want to stay in this house, get out immediately, your old lady can't rub the sand in her eyes, let you live in front of me!" β
Poor Ma Shi was burned by Liu's bowl of hot porridge, his face suddenly became red and swollen, he held back his tears, didn't dare to speak, only twisted the corner of his clothes, wiped it gently, and turned to bend down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Liu and the memory did not change in the slightest, mean and unkind to people, whether it was to treat himself or his daughter-in-law Ma, they were all like cattle and horses, Li Weiyang stared at Liu, and subconsciously just wanted to speak, Ma hurriedly handed her a look, as if she didn't have to speak, and opened her mouth to add to her guilt.
Ma is a docile daughter-in-law, but no matter what she does, Liu's evil mother-in-law refuses to let her go, just pick and choose all day long, as soon as she sees Ma come to help Li Weiyang, she thinks that she deliberately works against herself, and she is even more mean to the two of them. Li Weiyang gritted his teeth and stared at Liu for a moment.
Liu subconsciously glanced at Li Weiyang, but saw that there was an indescribable chill in her cold eyes, and suddenly his heart jumped, and he scolded: "You are crazy, what kind of eyes do you look at the old lady!" β
Li Weiyang didn't have time to think about why she had changed back to the appearance of thirteen years old, her mind turned, she touched her neck for a long time, and sure enough, she touched a piece of jade pendant, and her heart was warm, this is her own mother hanging around her neck since she was a child, Li Chengxiang sent himself to the Li family, the Li family raised himself to the age of seven, and at first he was looking for the girl's mother to serve, and later found that Li Chengxiang had no intention of taking her back to Kyoto, and he didn't know who instigated him, so he simply threw himself directly to a farmer's house in the countryside to raise. Ten taels of silver are given a monthly living allowance. Half a year ago, I don't know why I suddenly didn't even give this living allowance, Liu licked his face and begged three times, but the Li family ignored it, so Liu hated himself more and more, not only treated her as a girl, but even abused her a thousand times and hundreds of times, and even forbade her to leave, often beating her with blood behind her back.
Liu looked at Li Weiyang's appearance, frowned and scolded: "What a daze, little slut!" β
This jade pendant was the only thought left to her by her mother, and she desperately hid it everywhere, never daring to let the Liu family know. But today...... Li Weiyang looked up at her, a clear cold light flashed in his eyes, and a flattering smile quickly appeared on his face, "Aunt Zhou, I am here thanks to you for taking care of me, and I have nothing to thank you, so I will give you this jade pendant." β
If she is not mistaken, this ordinary Pisces jade pendant will be found and stolen by the Liu family half a month later, and she once went to ask for it, but was severely beaten. Later, when she became the third princess, she sent people back to look for it, but because of a plague in this village, most of the people died many years ago, and even the Liu family was dead, and there was no news of this jade pendant.
Liu didn't expect that the jade pendant that he had been trying to find and that this girl was hiding everywhere was actually taken out by Li Weiyang himself, his face suddenly looked much better, he snorted coldly, snatched the jade pendant from her hand, and said, "It's pretty much the same!" β
Ma Shi looked at Li Weiyang in surprise, as if she didn't know her at all, in her impression, Weiyang had been protecting this jade pendant to the death, and never let people take it, how could it suddenly be given to Liu......
Liu Shi took the jade pendant, his mood suddenly improved a lot, he snorted coldly, and said, "Forget it, you can lie in bed for another day, but you have to get up and work tomorrow!" β
Li Weiyang's smile became more and more docile: "Of course, Aunt Liu, I'll get up tomorrow!" β
Liu was surprised by Li Weiyang's meekness, and was about to say a few more words, when a tall man suddenly walked in from outside, came in and watched the scene, as if he was accustomed to it, he glanced at Ma Shi with an annoyed face, seemed to be bored, and reluctantly smiled: "Mother, why are you angry again, come, I bought a piece of fabric for you at the market today, and it looks like a lady in the county, come with me to see!" As he spoke, he dragged Liu out.
As Liu walked, he looked back at Ma and said, "Let me see what you brought her to eat, be careful about your skin!" He muttered and cursed all the way away.
Ma Shi saw that Liu was not in front of him, so he hid his face and tears rained down.
Li Weiyang looked at Ma Shi and shook his head slightly, it is useless to make weak concessions, that piece of jade pendant, naturally there are many ways to come back! And to deal with a scoundrel like Liu, you must be evil until she is stripped of three layers of skin!
------Off topic------
Such a story really happened, in history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's Empress Xiao was born in February, because Jiangnan customs believe that the child born in February is really unlucky, so she was adopted by Xiao Qi's cousin Xiao Qi, after Xiao Qi passed away, she was adopted by her uncle Zhang Ke. Because Zhang Ke's family is poor, the Xiao family, who is originally a princess, also works in the farm, so the child who has a birthday in February is bitter
