"My name is Zhuyuan, and your mother is the county lord of my Yueze, I went to Shangjing with her, just to find a good lord, so I took refuge in the Qing family as a guest, only thinking about the great cause of restoring the country, and your mother also came to Shangjing."

The man in front of him has just passed the age of not being confused, but at this time there is a strange old age on his face, as if all the pain in the world has been experienced by him.

He slowly told those dusty past events that had been sealed for a long time, his mother was called Zhen Zhuo'er, this Zhuyuan was her unmarried husband, but it was a pity that the county lord who should have received all kinds of grace was adrift in Shangjing because the country was ruined.

At that time, Qing Shangshu was bent on changing the law, and one of them was to restore the country and become a small subsidiary country of the Central Plains, just because he had to send troops to guard it every year, which was really a lot of labor and money.

So Zhu Yuan went to Qingshangshu with all his heart, and Zhen Zhuoer performed in the teaching workshop, and she played the pipa to be famous in Beijing, but she has always covered her face with a veil, and the dignitaries in Beijing have not seen her true face.

But one day, Huan Shuo, the eldest son of the protector of the country, inadvertently saw her face, and was only shocked, no matter how Zhen Zhuo'er begged, he still asked for the girl's body that night.

Huan Shuo is the son-in-law of the protector of the country, and everyone knows that his character is noble, and he is a figure praised by everyone in Shangjing, but he did not expect to do such an absurd and shameless thing.

However, Huan Shuo didn't know the origin of this woman, he only thought that she was the daughter of a poor family, so he arranged for a protégé of the Protector, who was born in a businessman and had no background, so he only adopted Zhen Zhuo'er as his adopted daughter, and then married her to the Protector's Mansion.

The Duke of Protector naturally refused to agree to his sister-in-law marrying such a woman into the mansion, but he couldn't resist the plea of the Duchess of the Kingdom, so he had to agree to this matter.

Huan Yi instantly understood why his mother was so indifferent, whether it was to him or his father.

"It turns out that my life is just a joke." It's nothing more than a person who is heartbroken, a person who is so conceited, but he is a pampered character, how can he withstand such successive blows.

"Then your father died, and your mother wanted to leave the Protectorate." Na Zhuyuan's face was full of grief, "Your grandfather naturally refused, so he ordered your mother to be locked up, and she starved to death." ”

Huan Yi was shocked, and then remembered that when his mother died, only bones were left in his body, and others told him that his mother died because of excessive grief and did not think about tea and dinner, and he knew clearly at that time that such a cold-hearted mother could miss his father and become ill.

His voice was even calmer than he had imagined, "Then why did you save the kite?" ”

"Because this woman will definitely inherit her father's ambition, this way of changing the law can only be pinned on this woman." Zhu Yuan knew that Jiangmo was full of poetry and books, full of economy, and was by no means a person who did nothing.

"I see, no wonder she hates me so much, it was my father and grandfather who hurt her all over the house." Huan Yi suddenly remembered the expression on her face on the day of her wedding, and the dagger around his neck.

He remembered her eyes full of hatred, but he knew that someone had told her about the cause of her family's death that day. And he insisted that it was Huan Yu who told her everything, just to prevent them from getting married.

"Your grandmother is still alive, and now that she is old, would you like to meet me and take a look at her?" The grandmother of Huan Yi in his mouth is the old princess of Yue Zeguo, although the country is broken, but the title is still there, but she is poor and persecuted, and she can't even protect her daughter.

Huan Yi looked at the abyss, but his face was pale and bloodless, "My mother doesn't recognize my son, where did I come from?" You'd better go, Huguo Gong has stayed in such a dirty place for a long time, I'm afraid it's hard to even leave. ”

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuan only felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have changed, and his eyes no longer had the clarity of the past, just looking at the eyebrows, he turned more and more towards his father.

"What about you?" Zhu Yuan hesitated a little, but still asked slowly.

"I don't want to stay here anymore." He laughed, with an almost cruel stubbornness, "I'm going to find her, even if she hates me again, I just want to be with her." ”

Zhu Yuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, after all, Huan Yi was also the son of the county lord and his master, which was what he should have bowed to.

"I believe that the little boy will one day beg me to take you out of this place." Zhu Yuan's voice was mixed with a bit of disappointment.

He also often heard about Huan Yi in the community, knowing that this child was born withdrawn, and the things he believed had not changed, and he was born a seed of infatuation, but he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he just got up and said goodbye.

Huan Yi hadn't stepped out of the study for a few days before he left the courtyard, only to feel that the sun was dazzling, his eyes were white, and he barely stood firm after a period of dizziness.

Fanyin saw him come out, and hurriedly came over, seeing him so down-and-out appearance, he was so distressed, "Huan Xiaogongzi, you go and change your clothes, you have to clean up well, if the master sees your appearance, I'm afraid that it will be another idle meal." ”

Huan walked drunkenly to the courtyard of the Protector and left Sanskrit there alone.

The protector is sick, but he can barely sit up today, these days he will be planning how to solve this rebel, only secretly hating himself for raising such a white-eyed wolf by his side.

Unexpectedly, it came up and bit his neck fiercely, making the protector also fall on his head.

He was planning on the bed, but he saw the door of his house being pushed open, and when he looked up, he saw a man with unkempt hair who smelled of wine coming in.

The Protector only thought that the madman who came from nowhere was about to drive him away, but he didn't expect to see that this person was Huan Yi.

But I saw that Huan Yi's originally clear and flawless eyes were filled with endless hatred at this time, like a little beast that pounced on and bited people, especially those blood-red eyes, just looking at them made people feel creepy.

"Look what you've become, go in the mirror and look like you." The protector was angry and hateful, and his illness was a little better, but he felt dizzy again, and he almost turned his back on his anger.

Huan Yi's face turned pale for a while, gritted his teeth, and said slowly, "Why did my grandfather force my mother to death in the first place, why couldn't he let her go?" ”

The Protector didn't expect him to know about this, so he only thought that Huan Yu told him, so he had to say in a deep voice, "Your father is gone, and that woman wants to leave, if this is spread out, or if she remarries, then it will not defile the lintel of the Protector's Mansion, even if it is for your father's reputation, she will definitely die." ”

Huan couldn't help but think of the royal archway of chastity hanging in his mother's house, which had already been covered with an unknown number of layers of dust.

"I see, yes, you are all such people, I forgot." Huan tugged at the corners of his lips, but his eyes were cold, "You vicious people, it doesn't matter if you killed the Qing family, one forcibly married my mother, and the other forced her to death." ”

When the Protector heard this, he felt a great sorrow in his heart, "Evil? Do you know what you're talking about? Aren't you confused? ”

"I've never been so awake in my life." He gritted his teeth stubbornly, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke, but it was a word for words, "I should have known that you are just deceiving the world and stealing your name, this Protector Mansion is the most hypocritical place in Shangjing, and the blood of the Huan family is sins." ”

The protector of the country has been competitive all his life, but he has never been accused like this, he couldn't help but be angry, grabbed the crutches next to him and hit Huan Yi's body.

The crutches of Lingshoumu are extremely strong, and they hit Huan Yi's body all of a sudden, just looking at it makes people tremble, if it weren't for the fact that the protector of the country was sick, and he didn't have much strength in his hands, I was afraid that this little life of Huan Yi should end here.

However, Yi did not dodge, only gritted his teeth and took all the pain.

hit Huan Yi's body one by one, but the protector hurt his heart, and finally he stopped his hand and knocked on the masonry on the ground with his cane, "Evil obstacles, the old man is really blind, and he hurt you in vain." ”

"Since you have fought enough, then I will leave the Protectorate Mansion, and I will no longer be a member of your family in the future." Huan Yi kowtowed heavily on the ground a few times, "Thank you grandfather for the kindness of your upbringing, there is nothing to repay in this life." ”

Knowing that he had made up his mind, the protector of the country was as if he had dug out his heart and liver, and said coldly under extreme anger and grief, "The old man can raise such a beast as you, he is already ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, you give the old man a go." ”

Huan Yi turned around and left, without the slightest nostalgia.

When Huan Yi went, the protector fell on the bed, and the weather-beaten old man no longer had the scenery of the past, only said with a sad face, "Retribution, it's all retribution, the old man has not done any bad things in his life, but he can't escape a retribution after all." ”

****************

Jiangmo only lay on the bed, her body was hot and cold for a while, and her mouth was still babbling, I don't know what she was talking nonsense, but the tears in the corners of her eyes never broke, until she soaked the apricot red pillow under her head with tears.

Huan Yu has been by her side, and ordered someone to invite the best doctor in Shangjing, only to diagnose and treat her, only to say that her pain was excessive, and she suffered from a cold breath, far from a serious illness, but the depression in the bottom of her heart is difficult to heal, but only a few milder doses of medicine are prescribed.

He personally served her and drank the decoction, and sure enough, most of the heat on her body dissipated, but she woke up faintly in half an hour.

Jiang Mo opened her eyes, only to feel that there was no taste in her mouth, her feet were like cotton, and her eyes were like vinegar, and it took a long time to recognize the man sitting next to her bed.

"Brother Huan." Her throat felt like sand was stuffed with sand, and her words were rough and unpleasant.

"Are you feeling better?" Seeing that she was awake, Huan Yi hurriedly brought a bowl of white porridge from the table next to her and fed her personally.

Jiang Mo only ate two bites and refused to eat again, Huan Yu saw that her body was getting thinner and thinner, so she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but she could only take her handkerchief from the pillow and wipe the corners of her lips for her.

And at this moment, he found a few pieces of paper next to her pillow, but they were the original Qing Shangshu's method of change.

Huan's dark eyes finally moved slightly, "Soon everything your father dreams of, you will have it at your fingertips." ”

Jiangmo also knew how much he was thinking, but he still sighed helplessly, "Now I know a little bit about the things in the court, the three parties are holding each other back, but they are also involved in the whole body, you better be careful." ”

Seeing her caring for herself like this, there was a trace of softness in Huan Yu's eyes.

It's just a few words hastily, Jiangmo is already very tired, he is crooked on the bed, and he gradually falls asleep.

Huan Yu looked at her miserable little white face and tightly frowning eyebrows, and couldn't help but have a trace of complexity in her eyes, but she still lowered her head and slowly kissed her forehead, and the eyebrows slowly stretched out.

And at this moment, there was a voice outside, Huan Yu slowly folded the quilt for Jiang Mo, and then frowned, but he was not in a hurry like an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw Huan Yu, he said with a worried face, "Second son, something is wrong." ”

Huan Yu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, "But my father wants to find a speech official to impeach me in the court?" ”

Such a life-and-death matter, but what Huan Yu said was so breezy and calm, and he looked like he was holding the chance to win, which made Bucai regain a little calm.

"It is this matter, I heard that ten ministers are going to jointly write a letter, and they are even discussing to beat the drums and let the emperor deal with this matter."

No wonder there is such a panic, as soon as the Dengwen drum is beaten, it will shake the Beijing Division, the ancestor has a rule, but whenever the Dengwen drum is beaten, the emperor must listen to the government.

Huan Yi sneered for a long time, full of anger, "It seems that he wants to kill me with an iron heart, I originally still had this bit of blood in mind, and kept him alive, so it's okay, since he completely denies me as a son, then I don't have to show mercy." ”

No, he thought of something again, and hurriedly continued, "Second son, the young man and the old man had a big fight, and now people don't know where they went." ”

Huan Yu frowned slightly, "Don't pay attention to him, go and get a silver ticket of 100,000 taels and send it to the palace, you must hand it over to Liu Huan, and tell him that if he can stop this matter, in the future, Young Master Ben will be willing to become a sharp blade in his hands, as long as he wants to kill anyone, I will never refuse." ”

When I heard this, although my face was a little weird, I still respectfully agreed.

That Liu Huan is the most powerful eunuch around Xiao Wei, who has relied on the emperor's favor to form his own faction, and fights with the Wen family in the harem, and Liu Huan poisons the concubines, and even Queen Wen doesn't take it seriously.

The court has long scolded Liu Huan for these evil servants, and he just wants to eat his flesh raw, and Huan Yu has always been a person with a prominent reputation and a good reputation, and now he is willing to be in the company of these people, isn't that digging his own grave?

Huan Yu seemed to have already seen that although he was thinking in his heart, there was endless coldness in his eyes, "I've had enough of the trend of inflammation over the years, and the good days of the ministers who have exhausted those organs should also come to an end, in the end, Liu Huan is just a soft-hearted person, and now there are still those noisy and useless people." ”

After listening to his words, I only felt a chill in my back, only looking at the warm and jade-like Huan Yu in the past, he had become such a ruthless and resolute person, if he won the world, I was afraid that it would be even more miserable, and the sorrow would be everywhere.

I followed the crack in the door and faintly saw the woman sleeping on the bed, but I still blurted out and asked, "What about the little boy Huan, what do you do with him?" He's your nephew after all, and you'll have to leave him a way out. ”

He is not a cold-hearted person in the end, that Huan Yi also grew up watching him since he was a child, knowing that although Huan Yi has a stubborn temperament, he is also a pure-hearted person, but he just stirred him into this grievance, after all, he couldn't bear it.

Huan Yu's eyes followed the crack in the door to see the ink on the bed, and the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly appeared, "He will definitely die." ”

Seeing that the sky outside was gradually darkening, Huan Yi called his parents after saying that Jiang Mo finished speaking, and only asked them to take care of Jiang Mo well, so he sat in a sedan chair and went straight to the palace.

And when Jiangmo's father and stepmother saw that even the Lord Yushi came to see Jiangmo in person, they became more and more happy, only thinking about the calculation in their hearts. After all, marrying his daughter to Huan Yu is far better than Huan Yi who has nothing to show for it.

Her stepmother was boiling a decoction for Jiangmo, but it was gradually gloomy outside, and before she knew it, it was raining as thin as a cow's hair, and it only fell on the bluestone slab, or on the flowers and plants, and there was no sound.

Jiang Zhen is embroidering flowers in the house, but there is a love in the bottom of his heart, he saw Huan Yi that day, he is already a thousand kinds of admiration, just thinking that he must marry such a character in this life, and today he saw Huan Yu and felt that there is a sky outside the sky, I didn't expect this Huan Er Gongzi to be so handsome, and the two of them were so infatuated with Jiangmo, which made her not feel a little jealous.

In terms of appearance, she is no worse than Jiangmo, and Jiangmo is less charming and touching than her.

And at this moment, I saw that the door of the house was being watched, even in the rainy night, I still heard it clearly, "clang, clang......" every sound was smashed so hard that even the screen window in the house was shocked. ”

Jiangmo's father hurriedly took an oil-paper umbrella and ran to the courtyard to open the door, only to see a man with a mantle and covered in rain looking at him.

At first, he thought that he was a beggar who had escaped from someone's house, but when he saw that his dirty clothes looked like fine silk, he couldn't help but look at them carefully.

"Little Master Huan?" Jiangmo's father recognized Huan Yilai, but he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, but hurriedly asked, "Is there anything you have to do here?" ”

Huan Yi's dark eyes turned and he didn't know whether he was awake or drunk, but he said slowly, "Young Master Ben is here to be your son-in-law." ”
