97. Blood debt
Jiangdu Lianjia? Lan Xue looked at Mother Xie with some doubts, but her mind quickly went over it, as if there was no such family in her memory!
Mother Xie's smile did not disappear, but at this time, it was fixed on her face, and the shock in her eyes and the slightly trembling fingers had already told Lin Mu'er: She knew!
Lin Mu'er closed her eyes and sighed: "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”
Mother Xie was cold, like falling into an ice cave, swallowed her saliva a little nervously, looked down at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and said tremblingly: "What, what is even home, I really don't know what Jiang is even home!" Master..."
"Mom!" Lin Mu'er let out a low snort! When has this been, and is there any need to hide it?
Lan Xue looked at Lin Mu'er and Mother Xie a little nervously! The master has always been polite to Mother Xie, don't say scolding, she has never even spoken loudly, but today with such a stern attitude, thinking about it, this matter is also extraordinary!
"Master!" Although Mother Xie was frightened in her heart, she also knew that it must have been what the prince said to her master yesterday, otherwise, how could the master suddenly ask about Jiang Dulian's family? Now, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it!
Mother Xie raised her head, but her face was already full of tears, and her face, which was originally well-maintained, instantly aged several years, and she stood up tremblingly, but she knelt down beside Lin Mu'er with a "poof"!
"Mom..."Lin Mu'er's voice choked, Mother Xie was so demeanor, but it had already made Lin Mu'er's heart fall to the bottom!
Mother Xie knelt on Lin Mu'er's lap, and she couldn't help crying! Lin Mu'er didn't urge her, for so many years, Mother Xie had hidden such a big secret in her heart, she couldn't say it, and she didn't dare to say it, how did she survive this long night? Now, Lin Mu'er asked, this is like an impregnable embankment, suddenly breaking a hole, always let her vent!
Lan Xue also had red eyes on the side, Mother Xie, who had always been steady, was now crying like a child, and she couldn't help herself!
After a long time, Mother Xie stopped crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a hoarse voice: "For more than 20 years, I always thought that I would bring this matter to the coffin!" I didn't expect it, but I still have to turn it out! ”
Lin Mu'er gently helped Xie's mother up and asked her to sit down and talk, and Lan Xue also poured a cup of warm tea and put it in Xie's mother's hand.
"This thing starts from seventeen years ago!" Mother Xie was still silently crying, sighed, and said slowly: "I think back then, the old lady of the Jiangdu Lian family, but the teacher of the first emperor, the elder of the three dynasties!" Ranked as the crown prince and prince! Even the children of the family are all erudite and talented, and they can be called the best among them! Don't say that in Jiangdu, even in the DPRK, it is also quite weighty! ”
Lin Mu'er nodded, in this way, this Jiangdu Lianjia can indeed be regarded as a famous family, but what does this Lianjia have to do with him?
Mother Xie wiped her tears and continued: "At that time, your maternal grandfather, who was also a cabinet scholar from the second rank in the court, has always been supported by people and has a high reputation! ”
"Grandfather!" Lin Muer "chuckled":
"Mom, do you mean grandfather?"
Mother Xie nodded, and tears couldn't help flowing out again: "Yes, your grandfather was the head of the Lian family at that time!" Your mother is your grandfather's youngest daughter! has always been favored, but because of this, she is also a little willful, if she decides, but a few cows can't pull it back! [~#爱奇文学 ~&Better and faster]
Lin Mu'er looked at Mother Xie, and when she talked about her mother, she actually looked reverent, and her tone was full of intimacy.
"I thought that this day would go on slowly, but I didn't expect that one day, your grandfather's bodyguard came home covered in blood and said... said that the old man deceived the king, and he was killed in the Jinluan Palace on the spot! Speaking of this, Mother Xie couldn't help but reddened her eyes again.
Lin Mu'er unconsciously clenched her fists: Bully? This crime is truly heinous!
"Master?" Lan Xue looked at Lin Mu'er with some concern.
Lin Mu'er shook her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's more!" ”
Mother Xie burst into tears and continued with a look of despair: "Just heard the news, your great-grandmother couldn't accept it for a while, and she died on the same day!" Your grandmother is a woman, and she doesn't know what to do, and she is also seriously ill! Because it is a great crime of defrauding the king, even the whole family is imprisoned, regardless of men, women and children, so that no one runs away, and no one in the court dares to plead! ”
Yes, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, who dares to intercede for such a big crime of bullying?
Mother Xie glanced at Lin Mu'er and saw that her face was pale, so she stepped forward to hold her hand and said with some relief: "Fortunately, at that time, your father supervised the case, and when he saw that your mother was extraordinary and talented, he even moved the idea of taking your mother as a concubine!" However, where your mother is willing, she is not willing to die! It's just that at that time, your grandfather's head was suspended from the city wall, and the corpse was uncollected! Your father promised that if your mother was willing to commit herself to him, she would take your grandfather's body and bury your great-grandmother with the gift of future generations! I will definitely help the Lian family mediate in the DPRK! Your mother agreed! ”
"And then!" Lin Mu'er asked in a trembling voice.
"Later!" Mother Xie squeezed out a trace of white sneer: "Later, the family bullied the king, and sentenced the whole door to be beheaded... Outside the noon gate, a full seventy-eight lives... On that day, your mother was eight months pregnant with you, and you gave birth prematurely in grief! But before I could take a look at you, I died! ”
Lin Mu'er bit her lip tightly, but her tears couldn't help but fall to the ground drop by drop, Lin Mu'er clenched her hands tightly, and she didn't even feel her nails digging into her palms! Suppressing the pain in her heart, Lin Mu'er asked with some determination: "Why do you bully the king?" ”
Mother Xie shook her head: "I don't know." ”
"I don't know?" Lin Mu'er looked at Mother Xie with a little questioning, her eyes were full of tears, but her eyes were a little sharp!
Mother Xie continued to shake her head: "When I got the news from my hometown and rushed over, your mother was no longer there, and it happened that the Hou Mansion was looking for a wet nurse, so I thought of some ways."
Get in! Outside they are saying that your grandfather deceived the king, but when you enter the Hou Mansion, where does anyone dare to talk about this matter, so the slave really doesn't know! ”
"And what is your relationship with my mother? And how did I find out about my mother? Lin Mu'er was unwilling, Mother Xie said that she came back from her hometown, it must not be Lian family, so why did she enter the Hou Mansion to be her nurse?
"Your mother is my benefactor!" Mother Xie was a little grateful: "At that time, my family was poor, and I wanted to sell me to my younger brother for medical treatment, but the family that bought me was a tuberculosis, and it was about to die, so I just wanted to marry a daughter-in-law Chong Chongxi!" It was your mother who saved me, bought me, worked as a girl for her for more than half a year, and bought me a dowry, so that I could become my own son in a beautiful way! At that time, even the family had an accident, I was still in confinement, thinking that your mother must have no one to take care of her, so I hurried over, you... Your mother...."Speaking of this, Mother Xie couldn't cry again!
It turned out that Mother Xie was actually her mother's original maidservant! Lin Mu'er stretched out her hand and held Xie's mother's somewhat cold hand tightly, but there was some comfort in her heart, at least, this was the last thought her mother left her!
Lan Xue also couldn't stop wiping her tears, it turned out that the master still had such a pitiful background!
Mother Xie choked up and continued: "These things are all from me knocking on the side and asking the girl who originally served your mother!" However, it's strange to say that the girls who served your mother either fell into the water or stole the property in the house, and none of them survived until they got out of the house and got married! Therefore, this matter is slowly no one knows, and the house only says that your mother is an unknown concubine, and she had an early dystocia! ”
Unknown concubines? Lin Mu'er felt more and more sad in her heart, and in the end, her mother turned out to be just an unknown concubine!
"And..." Mother Xie paused, and looked at Lin Mu'er's eyes a little firmly: "Actually, master, you are the eldest lady of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion!" You are half a year earlier than the eldest lady from Mrs., so Mrs. has not been waiting to see you, and she has also detained Master Hou from coming to see you! ”
I see! I don't like it myself, it turns out that this is the reason!
At this time, Lin Mu'er doesn't care, Miss Lin Mansion, to herself, it doesn't mean anything at all, whether Mrs. Lin is holding Hou Ye or not, just looking at Hou Ye's attitude towards herself, I don't think I have any sincerity towards my mother! It's just that when her mother was about to be beheaded, she was able to be accepted as a concubine by Marquis Lin, and it took a lot of thought to think about it, and it didn't wonder that Mrs. Lin would regard herself as a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh!
"What else does Mom know?" At this time, although Lin Mu'er was grieving, it was unusually clear.
The prince of Jin said, Lian's seventy-eight lives were killed in vain, what is a vain death? There must be a grievance! But now I listen to Xie's mother, although I don't know why I bullied the king, but after all, my grandfather bullied the king in front, and the whole door was beheaded behind, although the emperor was brutal, but he couldn't say that he was wronged, then, there must still be something hidden in this!
Mother Xie thought about it with red eyes, but looked at Lin Mu'er with some hesitation, and shook her head: "There is nothing else, after this matter is over, it will be."
I have never heard anyone mention Jiangdu Lianjia. So, I thought about it, I buried it in my heart, let me take it into the coffin, if it wasn't for today's master's question, I would never have said it! ”
Yes, a great crime of deception, seventy-eight lives, how to say it?
It turns out that the emperor doesn't like himself, and there is this layer of relationship! Lin Mu'er smiled bitterly.
"But Mom, do you know that the prince of Jin said that I even died in vain for seventy-eight lives in my family!" Lin Mu'er looked out the window, the sun was scorching at this moment, and it hurt people's eyes.
Mother Xie was startled, her eyes widened, and she looked at Lin Mu'er in disbelief: "In vain... Death in vain?! ”
Lan Xue also had swollen eyes and an incredible face: This is seventy-eight lives!
Lin Mu'er turned her head and looked at Mother Xie very firmly: "Now, I am the only descendant left in the Lian family!" Since it was a vain death, I will seek justice for them! ”
