Chapter 272: Family Change
Last time, it was said that Liu Bei was warmly received by Kong Rong.
That night, the guests and hosts were happy, and Kong Rong's appreciative attitude towards Liu Bei made Liu Bei feel that his future was bright.
It's always been festive when things come to this. It's a pity that the blessings and blessings are relied on, and the blessings and misfortunes are lurking, Liu Bei and others came to Jian Yong, and they also waited for the bad news brought by Jian Yong.
Something big happened to Liu Bei's family.
Just half a month after Liu Bei hung up the seal and sealed the official, the report from the imperial court came down, and Mrs. Liu finally knew that her son had a big accident, and she fainted on the spot, and then she was seriously ill.
During this period, Liu Bei's wife stayed by Mrs. Liu day and night, taking care of the old man, so that the old man recovered.
Poor Liu Bei's wife has been weak since she was a child, and after this toss, it was her turn to fall ill.
Mrs. Liu saw that her daughter-in-law was tired and sick in order to take care of herself, and she was very uneasy, blaming herself for dragging down her daughter-in-law, and worrying about her daughter-in-law's health. Mrs. Liu had just recovered from a serious illness, and she was already very weak because she was old, coupled with worry and self-blame, she was depressed every day, and within a few days, she fell ill again.
The old man fell ill twice in a row, his body was seriously deficient, and the medicine stone was difficult to help, and he soon died.
At this point, it is difficult for Liu Bei to accept such a reality, but the problem is that there is even greater bad news waiting for him later.
Liu Bei's family didn't know what the reason was, but it was rumored that Liu's wife killed the old lady, and Mrs. Liu's personal maid also led a group of servants to ask Mrs. Liu to give an explanation.
Only then did Mrs. Liu know that the old lady died because of her anxiety and self-blame.
Later, under the instigation of the old lady's personal maid, the subordinates of the Liu Mansion not only chewed the root of their tongues, but also began to collectively boycott Mrs. Liu.
The situation has developed to this point, so how can Mrs. Liu, who has not yet cultivated her own power in the Liu Mansion, be gentle and virtuous, and knowledgeable, be able to forgive herself?
Mrs. Liu felt that she was sorry for the Liu family and Liu Bei, so she refused treatment and left a suicide note saying that she would go to Yin Cao to take care of the old lady to atone for her sins, and a white silk followed the old lady.
By the time Jian Yong found out that something was wrong, Mrs. Liu had already passed away.
Jian Yong didn't know the details of this, and he couldn't interfere in Liu Bei's family affairs, so he could only stay in Zhuo County and wait for Liu Bei's news.
Liu Bei heard that the two most important women in his life had suffered misfortune one after another, and his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted to the ground.
Liu Bei lost his father when he was a child, and it was his mother who brought him up with hard work, and he was very grateful to his mother in his heart, but now that he hasn't mixed up, his mother left him, and he really regrets that he didn't stay with his mother to serve her old man.
Regarding his wife, Liu Bei asked himself that he knew her very well. His wife is a traditional scholarly lady, kind and gentle, Liu Bei loves his wife very much, how can he say that it is gone now?
Liu Bei couldn't accept it, he couldn't understand why things had turned out like this.
Jian Yong wanted to comfort Liu Bei, but he didn't know what to say, and there were only two words left after a thousand words: "Xuande." ”
Liu Bei raised his head, his eyes were obviously blurred by tears.
Liu Bei calmly said to everyone: "I want to be quiet." With that, he hung his head.
Please support the author, please go to QQ Reading, Start Reading or any other website under China Literature to support the author, I am very grateful.
Jian Yong listened to Liu Bei's words, and was the first to turn around and leave.
Zhang Fei really wanted to stay with his eldest brother, and he felt that Liu Bei needed someone by his side to support him and encourage him at this time.
Guan Yu gently dragged Zhang Fei, shook his head at Zhang Fei, signaled him not to stay here, and then walked out first.
Zhang Fei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, or just tell Liu Bei that he was going out, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Zhang Fei turned around in three steps, looked at Liu Bei's figure worriedly, and followed Guan Yu out in steps.
There was finally no one else in the room, and Liu Bei's tears slipped uncontrollably across his resolute face and fell to the ground.
Liu Bei locked himself in the room alone for two days, without eating or drinking. In the end, Zhang Fei couldn't help it and knocked open Liu Bei's door, only to find that Liu Bei didn't know when he fainted on the ground.
Everyone hurriedly picked up Liu Bei and sent him to the hospital together.
Fortunately, Liu Bei stayed in a large county like Yingling, and the medical hall was easy to find, so he saved his life in time.
During this period, Kong Rong also came to visit Liu Bei, and said that he had helped Liu Bei report to the imperial court on Ding Wei (Shou Xiao), so that Liu Bei did not have to worry about work and recuperated with peace of mind.
Two days later, Liu Bei's spirit recovered somewhat, and he immediately submitted his resignation to Kong Rong, wanting to rush back to Zhuo County as soon as possible. He always felt that his wife's death was strange, his wife was so kind that she would not abuse her subordinates at all, but why did the servants of the family force her to die?
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Kong Rong all felt that Liu Bei's current state was inconvenient to go on the road, and they all persuaded him to wait until his health was completely better.
But Liu Bei insisted that Zhang Fei and Jian Yong could only choose to accompany Liu Bei back to Zhuo County, so that they could take care of it at any time.
And Guan Yu wanted to stay, because he finally had a chance to make a contribution, but he had to give up in vain, and he was very unwilling.
Zhang Fei had a big quarrel with Guan Yu about this, Zhang Fei said that Liu Bei is now the time when he needs care and support the most, and since he is a brother, he should not leave his brother alone. And after Liu Bei Ding worries, the imperial court will rearrange Liu Bei's position, but Ding Wei will have to wait for three years.
Guan Yu couldn't hold his face when Zhang Fei said it, and he could clearly feel Kong Rong's contempt for him when he heard that he was going to stay, and in desperation, he could only follow Liu Bei on the road again.
When Liu Bei returned to Zhuo County, Mrs. Liu had already been buried, but his wife could not be buried in the ancestral grave of the Liu family because of the reputation of killing her mother-in-law, and the coffin was thrown to Yizhuang.
Liu Bei went to his mother's grave as soon as possible, and then transported his wife's coffin back home.
He summoned all the servants of the house and asked them to kneel before his wife's coffin to confess the originators of the rumors.
In the end, all the witness testimony pointed to Mrs. Liu's personal maid Xiaocui.
Liu Bei questioned Xiaocui in public: "Why did you frame Mrs.?" ”
Xiao Cui pursed her lips and looked at Liu Bei with a resentful expression, without saying a word.
Liu Bei looked at Xiaocui's eyes, and felt that this kind of look was a little familiar, like the kind of eyes that his wife looked at him, but there were some more grievances in it.
Liu Bei read the information contained in Xiaocui's eyes, and felt very uncomfortable.
