Chapter 40: Grievances of the Past
I don't know when it ended, every inch of bone in her body seemed to have been dismantled and reassembled, and even her fingers were sore and weak.
Chen Xi was reluctant to continue tossing her, held her in his arms, and kissed her densely and lovingly on her soft hair, charming eyes, slippery~ tender snow cheeks, and soft red lips......
Auntie was itchy by his movements, and pushed Chen Xi aside in disgust, opening her mouth glutinously, her voice hoarse, like an apple that had been fried in hot oil, crispy and sweet to the point of sticking to her teeth.
"Brother Bai Yang and I are not what you think, our two families are relatives, very close to each other."
Auntie has never been willing to talk about her family in front of Chen Xi. Even before she fell out with the Cui family.
Chen Xi knew that there had always been a clear Chu River and Han boundary between the two of them.
She used her sword to cut a chasm between them, never allowing herself to cross it. Chen Xi could guess that this was her resentment against the Chen family who had nowhere to vent under the overwhelming power of others, and Chen Xi was willing to do everything to fill this gap, but the gap was everywhere.
Over time, Chen Xi could only carefully avoid those topics.
If he hadn't met Auntie, someone told him that one day he would shoot this dog thing because of a girl's love for such a humble thing. Now, he wants to kill all the wild men who want to seduce his wife, divide the corpses of the five horses, break the bones and scatter ashes, and make them regret coming to this world!
But now, Auntie is willing to take the initiative to bring up the past that she never wants to tell. At that moment, Chen Xi could hardly believe his ears.
The brave man raised the indomitable sword of light and came to the princess's castle, would the princess be willing to open the door for this man who was not a prince? Even the brave are willing to give their blood and young lives for the beautiful princess.
Chang'e's soft voice interrupted Chen Xi's thoughts.
"Cui family, behind those glamorous and glamorous ones, there are dust piled up several feet high." Nestled in Chen Xi's arms, tearing open those bloody wounds with her own hands, I don't know if it was more painful than the first injury.
Auntie is reluctant to think about the past, because her past, more than ten years, has always been intertwined with another person, like two connecting branches growing on a tree, those young Shaoguang, as if even breathing is ambiguous and sticky.
The beautiful scenery of the good day is the day, and the joy of the courtyard is it?
Flying in the morning and twilight, clouds and clouds, rain and wind, smoke and waves painting boats.
Jinping people look at this Shaoguang cheap!
The rain was pouring outside the window, and in the bedroom, the fire wall was burning very strongly, and the room was warm, not soaked in the cold night of early spring.
Auntie was covered with a thin woolen blanket, entangled with Chen Xi's limbs, although her sleepy upper and lower eyelids were fighting, Auntie didn't want to sleep, but in the arms of this man she didn't think she loved, she told those young times vividly.
"I had three grandmothers. My own grandmother gave birth to my father, and my grandmother and grandfather had always had a good relationship, but my father died of a sudden illness when he was seven years old. So my grandfather married my grandmother's sister, my father's own aunt, and the second grandmother gave birth to my second uncle, third uncle, and eldest aunt, who accompanied my grandfather the longest, and then also left; Then came my third grandmother, who gave birth to four children in seven years in order to have a place in the Cui family, and her body collapsed. Zhong Baiyang is the grandson of my father's family and the nephew of my own grandmother. β
Although Chen Xi had investigated the Cui family, he did not connect Zhong Baiyang who appeared tonight with the Zhong family at all.
As far as he knew, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Cui, disliked the Zhong family very much, and after taking power, she broke off the relationship with the Zhong family, and his father-in-law also showed no nostalgia for the outside family. Chen Xi was shocked, he didn't expect Zhong Wei and his wife to be cousins who seemed to be very serious.
Chen Xi's reaction was not strange, and she hooked her lips self-deprecatingly, just like the Red Mansion said that in the Jia Mansion, only the pair of stone lions in front of the door were clean, and their Cui family was the same.
"Aren't you surprised that the foreign family has such a close relationship, why my parents hardly have contact with the Zhong family. Actually, it's because my mother hates the Zhong family and doesn't even want to do it. β
Chen Xi, who was still listening casually, was made curious by Auntie's words, what did the Zhong family do to offend his delicate mother-in-law?
Noticing that her voice was dry when she spoke, Chen Xi got out of bed and poured a glass of warm water from the thermos and handed it to her lips.
"It's a long story, and it involves the grievances of the previous generation." Auntie leaned on Chen Xi's arms, slowly drank the water in the cup, moistened her hoarse throat, and told Chen Xi about the past and the past.
"My mother and my father made a marriage contract since childhood, but when my mother wanted to marry, the Cui family regretted the marriage."
Chen Xi played with her hand on her hair, and her eyes were full of surprise: "I see that my father-in-law and mother-in-law have a good relationship."
Auntie chuckled, smiling a little proudly: "Of course." When my mother was young, she was beautiful and beautiful, and she was worshiped as a goddess by the sons and daughters of the entire Xuancheng, and I don't know how many people were jealous of my father for having the honor to hold the beauty. β
This delicate and smug look made Chen Xi's heart soften, and Chen Xi kissed her with a smile: "When I see you, I can get a glimpse of my mother-in-law's demeanor back then."
Auntie smiled lightly: "I was raised in the deep boudoir and people don't know." But my mother, who is the leader in Xuancheng's ladies, her makeup and clothing are all imitated by Xuancheng women. My father loved my mother very much, and spent more time in the Shen family than in his own family. β
Auntie seemed to see the pair of young men and women who fell in love with each other through a long time, and a shallow smile appeared on her lips.
Chen Xi was puzzled: "Then how could my father-in-law regret his marriage?" β
Auntie shook her head: "It is not my father who wants to repent of the marriage, but the Cui family." β
"My father remembered my grandmother's death, and although my second step-grandmother was my father's aunt, my father was very disdainful of the Chung family, which had declined and could only maintain the family's glory by marrying. Originally, my grandfather didn't want his wife and sister to marry in, but he was very affectionate towards my own grandmother, and in order to help the Zhong family, he acquiesced.
So far, the Zhong family has found a shortcut to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and they want to stuff the school-age girl in the family to my father. But the Cui family has a rule that only if you have no children at forty can you take a concubine, although my father's marriage was personally set by my own grandmother before she died, the Zhong family still started my father's idea, even if I knew that my father and my fiancΓ©e had a very close relationship, and the Shen family's family background was by no means comparable to the Zhong family, and they still tried to become the main wife. β
Chen Xi didn't know what to say, this Zhong family seemed to be a broken family, if he was Chang'e's grandfather, he wouldn't let his wife and sister enter the door at all. Chen Xi complained secretly, and there was a faint voice in his ears.
"Some people, who really have mud on the soles of their feet, don't want to get their shoes dirty, so they can only step over this mud, who would have thought that this kind of mud is the most disgusting.
My father had a cousin, named Eun Niang, who had been brought in by my step-grandmother since she was ten years old. On my father's twentieth birthday, I somehow entered my father's house. The father ruined his cousin's innocence, and his uncle came to persecute him, but his father resolutely refused to repent of the marriage.
After the incident, my father went to my mother to kowtow to make amends, and finally asked for my mother's forgiveness, and my mother even agreed to let the girl of the Nazhong family enter the door in order to take care of the overall situation.
However, my grandfather was afraid of ruining the reputation of the Cui family, and canceled the marriage contract with the Shen family on behalf of my father, but one of the conditions was that my step-grandmother must commit suicide. My step-grandmother naturally didn't want to, so my grandfather asked the servant woman to press it and fed her a lamp of arsenic ~ frost with his own hands......
At this point, my step-grandmother was retribution, and my grandfather thought that my father would be relieved. Who would have thought that my father knelt in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, and still insisted on marrying my mother.
Just when my grandfather couldn't resist my father and wanted to let go, the Zhong family had to look forward to Shu and consciously lost my step-grandmother, the aunt who got married, and was unwilling, and actually tried to become my father's wife.
On the Shen family's side, my mother knew that there was no way to turn the divorce. When the Cui family came to withdraw from the marriage, she twisted her hair in court and said that she wanted to be a sister-in-law.
My grandfather was in a dilemma.
Seeing that my mother had a strong personality and would rather bend than bend, the Zhong family was afraid that things would change later, so they bought off one of my grandfather's concubines. β
Auntie paused when she said this, and there was a hint of contempt in her tone: "Speaking of my grandfather, although he is very capable, he brocades the flowers run by the Shen family, but he does not repair the book, and spoils the concubine and destroys his wife. The Zhong family took advantage of this loophole and promised to buy off my grandfather's concubine with a lot of money, so that my grandfather would give my mother to a warlord in another province.
My grandmother was a woman who couldn't stand up like a dough, she couldn't go out to socialize, and she didn't even know how to go out to socialize internally, and although she gave birth to a son and two daughters for my maternal grandfather, she didn't have any dignity in front of my maternal grandfather.
As the eldest daughter, my mother didn't know how much she suffered from concubines and servants for the sake of her younger siblings, so she developed her current scheming and fought with my grandfather's beloved concubine.
My grandfather's plans were passed on to her by my mother's cronies. She hid from people, took her powerful maids and subordinates, and went to Cui's house alone, in front of the door of Cui's house, where people came and went, saying that she would never marry, and a white silk was thrown on the plaque of Cui's house, and she wanted to hang herself in front of Cui's house, so as to die.
The Cui family was shocked, and my grandfather came to the gate of the house in person. My mother took out the scissors hidden in her sleeve and stabbed my grandfather in the chest...... The name of the Shen family's daughter spread all over Xuancheng, and my grandfather and maternal grandfather threw a mouse, and for the sake of the reputation of the two families, no one dared to persecute my mother anymore, so these two marriages were naturally shelved.
My mother was disheartened and went to live alone in the Guzi Temple outside the city for more than half a year, and my father finally compromised, and the marriage of the Cui Zhong family gradually took shape. β
