Chapter 82
She caressed her daughter's forehead lovingly and asked, "Tell your mother why you like him?" ”
Lu Xi didn't understand why his mother asked like this, let alone how to answer, and after thinking for a while, he blushed and said, "I don't know...... All I know is that every moment with him is very happy and happy...... Mother, I really want to be with him forever, will you promise me? ”
Zhong Shunhua laughed silently, and asked again: "Then tell your mother again, why don't you like Liang Yue?" ”
Lu Xi's face changed suddenly, and he looked at his mother in shock, "Liang Yue...... Has he ever come to you? ”
Zhong Shunhua smiled and shook his head, "Xi'er, although my mother doesn't object to you traveling far away, it doesn't mean that I don't care about you, the people around you, let alone those playmates who grew up with you since childhood?" Tell your mother that Liang Yue and you can be called childhood sweethearts, but why don't you like him? ”
Lu Xi hesitated for a long time before he said, "I don't know about this either...... He's been nice to me, but I just don't like him...... Mother, what do you ask me for? I can't answer at all. ”
Zhong Shunhua said with a smile: "Actually, you have already given your mother a good answer, it makes no sense to like someone." ”
"Then you ......"
Zhong Shunhua comforted her daughter, "You listen to your mother's words, it doesn't make sense that you like someone, but if you want to marry someone, you can't do this." Because marriage is not a storm, but firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which are trivial things that you can't think of in the past. These things will slowly wear away the former relationship and make the marriage boring. At this time, the weak person in the marriage will be completely pressed under the feet of the strong and will be out of breath. Do you know why your mother didn't approve of your marriage? Because my mother saw the shadow of your father when he was young in Bai Qiaoxuan's body, he was proud and conceited without anything, and thought he could hold the world in his hands. Such a man may make women dizzy, but once you are tied up by him, you can only be his vassal for the rest of your life, your mother is exhausted, and you are still riding on the head by your father, how can you be Bai Qiaoxuan's opponent in the future? If you look at your mother's current situation, you should know that the precipice is reined in! ”
Lu Xi said: "Mother, I don't understand what you said, I only know that Qiao Xuan is not a father, and you can't deny him because of your father." ”
Zhong Shunhua knew that her opposition might be resisted more strongly by her daughter, so she could only say euphemistically: "Mother didn't want to deny him, she just said that he was not suitable for you." You can't control him at all! ”
Lu Xi was helpless, "I want him to be my husband, not my courtier, why should I control him?" ”
Zhong Shunhua persuaded: "Xi'er, you used to play and make trouble, but your mother didn't say half a word about you, isn't it good for you to listen to your mother this time?" This is your life's work, will your mother harm you? That Bai Qiaoxuan, he approached you with ulterior motives at all, he was plotting for your father's power, he was not as simple as you imagined. ”
Lu Xi was very disappointed in his mother's obsession, "Mother, the second brother married, you said that it was for power, I am an outsider, I don't understand, and I refute you just because of my trust in the second brother." But this time, I was in it, and I could feel that Qiao Xuan really loved me, and I really loved him, and you still said that he was for power? Is it in your eyes that all those who approach me are for power? I am so unbearable in your eyes, and no one is sincere! So according to what you say, does Liang Yue like me only for power? ”
Zhong Shunhua didn't expect Bai Qiaoxuan to take such deep roots in her daughter's heart, so she could only say: "Okay, okay, even if you love each other, don't forget, there is a concubine room by his side, can you really bear that there are other women around your beloved husband?" ”
Luci replied, "If that's what you're worried about, don't worry. Qiao Xuan has already confessed to me that he married Yao Yao on the orders of his parents, and he didn't have any thoughts about Yao Yao, just to repay the grace of saving her life and support her in the mansion. ”
Zhong Shunhua was choked up for a while, didn't know what to say, thought for a while and said: "Maybe you can't listen to what my mother says now, but I still have to finish what I should say." You remember that a woman, if she wants to get married, if she has to choose between loving herself and the person she loves, she should choose the one who loves herself, this is the lesson that the mother has learned all her life. ”
As soon as Lu Xi's face changed, he heard his mother say again: "Of course, mother's experience cannot be imposed on you. ”
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, "Then you agreed?" ”
Zhong Shunhua began to procrastinate, "Your daughter's lifelong event, you always have to give your mother time to think about it, right?" ”
Lu Xi nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "As long as you are not final, you can think about it for as long as you want." ”
Zhong Shunhua saw that her daughter was not suspicious and relieved, and said angrily: "It's really useless!" Don't forget that you're a lady, don't you go back to your room to rest? ”
Lu Xi rubbed in his mother's arms like a kitten, and ran back to the room, and was about to shout for Yu Huan to boil water, but saw someone else in the room.
"Second brother...... You haven't left yet, have you? What about the second sister-in-law? ”
Qing Ziting tried her best to make herself look relaxed, "She went back, I have something to say to you, so I will stay and wait for you." You can't marry Bai Qiaoxuan, this is not only your mother's meaning, but also my advice and your second sister-in-law. ”
Lu Xi's backlog of grievances from her mother exploded, and she shouted, "Second brother, do you know? I've always wanted you and your mother to live in peace, but it always backfired. I didn't expect that the first time you agreed was against my marriage, against me being with the person I loved! ”
Qing Ziting tried her best to hold her trembling shoulders, "Xi'er, listen to me, no matter what kind of grievances there are between the second brother and his wife, we always have one thing in common, that is, we all really love you, sincerely defend you, and don't want to see you hurt in the slightest." You also said that this is the first time we have the same view of something, so you should think about it, why are we the same? Or, why are we not optimistic about Bai Qiaoxuan? ”
Lu Xi rushed excitedly: "Because you all think that he approached me for the sake of his father's power!" Because you think I'm worthless, and I don't deserve anyone to love me! ”
Qing Ziting quieted down when she heard her say this, quietly waiting for her to calm down......
The cold wind blew against the window lattice, making a harsh sound, Lu Xi finally stopped sobbing and asked calmly: "The second brother reminded me not to contact Qiao Xuan that day, and you fainted before you could say the reason. Now can you tell me, why do you say that? ”
Qing Ziting said word for word what Tong Yuqing taught her, "Because your second sister-in-law told me that Bai Qiaoxuan is not a person worthy of trust." You should know that Bai Qiaoxuan was once engaged to the adopted daughter of Qiu Zeyuan, the former Pudong overseer, but during the engagement, he and the maid next to your second sister-in-law, who is his current concubine Yao Yao, were not clear. Everyone in the world thought that Bai Qiaoxuan gave up the marriage contract because he lost his virginity and was angry, but he didn't know that he and Yao Yao had already secretly Chen Cang, but the two things happened to be together, confusing the public. Xi'er, think about it, if a man insists on not marrying, what means can others use to force him to marry? Don't be fooled by him, and keep it in the dark! ”
Lu Xi was suspicious, silent for a long time, Qing Ziting remembered what Tong Yuqing said, she said that the lies that slandered Bai Qiaoxuan and Yao Yao would be exposed as long as their sister saw Bai Qiaoxuan, what they needed was the time when her sister was suspicious and did not meet Bai Qiaoxuan.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Qing Ziting held her sister's hand and said, "Xi'er, the reason why getting married is called a lifelong event is because you only have one time in your life. This time, you can't make a mistake. That's all the second brother said, it's time to go. ”
The love words of her lover, the exhortation of her mother, and the words of her brother were like a mess, flashing in Luxi's mind in a staggered and overlapping manner, and every word touched her nerves and made her extremely entangled......
"Ruojia, Ruojia!" Qing Ziting vigorously shook Tong Yuqing, who was trapped in her nightmare, awake.
Tong Yuqing woke up suddenly, thinking that Qing Ziting was the villain in the dream, and quickly reached out to choke his throat.
Qing Ziting was powerless to struggle, so she could only hold on to the quilt and shout one after another, "Ruo...... ......"
Tong Yuqing finally came out of the nightmare, let go of Qing Ziting, patted him on the back to ease him, and after a while, she said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I saw the wrong person, how are you? ”
Qing Ziting wanted to smile and comfort her, but before the smile could be expanded, she coughed again. Tong Yuqing hurriedly poured him a glass of water, and Qing Ziting slowly got better after drinking the water. He saw that Tong Yuqing sat at the table after putting the cup back and didn't mean to get up, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Ruoxiao, it's still early before dawn, let's sleep for a while." ”
Tong Yuqing looked at the moonlight outside the window and said lightly: "I can't sleep." ”
The moonlight shrouded her in a cold halo, Qing Ziting sighed, then got up and put on a dress for her, and sat quietly on the other side of the table, without saying a word, until she herself drove away the sentimental sadness, and took the initiative to say: "Tomorrow is a tough battle, for the sake of my dead parents, I should also recuperate." ”
The next day, Tong Yuqing got up early, changed into a capable military uniform, and said to Qing Ziting on the side: "After I leave, you can go find someone, I'm sorry, I let you be wronged for me." ”
Qing Ziting smiled slightly, "It's me who dragged down my own sister, what do you say I'm sorry?" Everything has a cause and an effect, and everything is my own choice. ”
"......"
Qing Ziting stroked her fragrant shoulder and said, "Okay...... Believe me, there will be good news for both of us today. ”
The big war is imminent, and Tong Yuqing can only suppress all her worries for the time being. She smiled, "That's right. Tonight we are going to have a good time and celebrate the victory! ”
After that, Tong Yuqing led a group of soldiers to the west of the city to abandon the city. She looked through the car window at the growing number of people gathering on the side of the road, and there was no joy or sadness on her face.
Yang Hao, who was guarding the execution ground early, saw the convoy of Tong Yuqing and his party, personally stepped forward to greet her and got out of the car, and whispered a few words in her ear, Tong Yuqing nodded after hearing this.
Not long after, the prisoner car carrying two prisoners drove into everyone's sight, and Tong Yuqing saw that the prisoner cart and the prisoner were covered with rotten vegetable leaves, broken eggs, and dung soup and other things, so she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth and nose.
Lu Tiansheng's vehicle arrived with the prisoner's car, he was dressed in the uniform of the Overseer, and his gestures showed his majestic majesty and inviolability. The agitation in the crowd was quelled by his arrival, and he walked to the prison platform and said in a loud voice: "For a hundred years, the people of my Puxi people have been in hardship and danger, and bandits have been rampant, all because of the invasion of foreign enemies. Since the Chengtian mandate, he has been exhausted and dreamed of sleeping at night, lest he have the heavy trust of God and the high hopes of the people. Today, with the blessing of heaven and earth, the wish can be fulfilled in the end, and the old enemy can be destroyed, so please watch the punishment from all the people present, to thank heaven and earth, to comfort people's hearts! ”
The people present either had an enmity with the distant army, or their relatives had an enmity with the distant army, and it was a very happy thing for them to be able to witness the demise of the Pudong overseer's army, so for a while the crowd was boiling, and the chaotic cheers gradually turned into neat shouts, "Kill him!" Kill him! Kill him! ”
The warden looked at the sun in the sky, and then at the sundial on the side, and shouted, "The hour has come, execution!" ”
With the sound of small drums, the executioner raised his knife and fell, and two human heads fell drippingly, and before the people could come out of the bloodthirsty excitement, they were startled and scattered by a figure that whirled down from the prison beheading platform.
Before they could react, the figure had swept a man in the crowd up, but just as they were about to fall back to the prison platform, the man broke free from the figure's restraint and flew up to the eaves in front of him. It's a pity that this place has long been surrounded by Lu Tiansheng's dead soldiers into an iron cylinder, and after a few gunshots, the man rolled down from the roof and slammed on the ground with a "bang".
The unclear figure spun up again, and landed beside the man in an instant, and she looked down at him, gradually revealing a charming smile, "Don't come unharmed, my good uncle!" ”
In the dark room of the Jindu Garrison Department
Tong Yuqing had already taken off her military uniform and changed into a plain uniform, and she said lightly to the prison guard: "Wake him up." ”
The prison guard poured a basin of cold water on Tong Baiyi's body, Tong Baiyi slowly opened his eyes, and Tong Yuqing said again: "You go get busy first." ”
The prison guard hesitated, but heard her say, "Don't worry, he is no match for me now." ”
Tong Baiyi was confused at first because of the severe pain on his body, but when the mist in front of him cleared and he saw Tong Yuqing outside the iron fence, he understood that his road had finally come to an end......
He sneered, "Kill me, you can't get any useful news from me." ”
Tong Yuqing's eyes were warm, but she smiled, "I know, so I don't expect my uncle to say anything useful, I just want our uncle and nephew to talk about the sky and the earth." ”
Tong Baiyi laughed, "From the moment I learned that you had disappeared, I knew that God was starting to fight against me again. Since I want to fight, I know that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the truth of success and defeat is the truth. It's just a broken life, I don't want it for a long time, you just take it. ”
There was no trace of surprise in Tong Yuqing's eyes, only endless pity, "Also, a person who doesn't even want his life, why should I expect him to have humanity?" ”
"Fuck off! Even if I'm a ghost, I'm forced to be a ghost by you! What qualifications do you, a person who has grown up in a honey pot, say that I'm a ghost who has returned from hell? Have you ever tasted what it was like to be beaten to the ground? Have you ever tasted the taste of being cramped and scraped to the bone? Have you ever smelled your own skin, the smell of being burned? No, right...... I don't think you've even been slapped in the face, have you? The purgatory I walked through, you have never experienced before, who is to say that I am inhuman?! ”
Tong Yuqing smiled bitterly and couldn't help nodding, "That's right, I haven't experienced what happened to you, and I'm not qualified to criticize you." To this day, I can't even accuse you with the ancestral teachings of the Tong family, because no matter how many reasons I have, the Qiu family will perish because of me. The only thing I can justifiably accuse you of is that you have destroyed righteousness because of personal vendetta! You have tried in vain to sacrifice the lives of the people of Pudong to commemorate your ruined life! ”
Tong Baiyi's smile spread from the corners of his mouth to his whole body, and he couldn't suppress his ridicule of Tong Yuqing until he had laughed enough, and then said loudly: "Didn't you care about everything at first, and just wanted to kill Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou to take revenge?" If it weren't for that damn Lu Jingzhi, would you have jumped out of my carefully arranged game and counted the plan? ”
Tong Yuqing said: "Speaking of which, I do want to thank him, it was he who brought me to Puxi when I was unconscious, it was the tranquil scenery of his island that calmed my restless heart, and it was the maid he arranged for me who inadvertently woke up the dreamer with a word, telling me that the evidence could be forged, and making me untie the knot that I couldn't figure out." The game you arranged is indeed exquisite, first let the matter of Uncle Qiu and Youyou be exposed in front of Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes, push the Bai family out, and then use Youyou to cause Qiu Zeyuan to panic, you have calculated that as long as he is messy, it is impossible for his father to sit idly by. Sure enough, my father put aside the past for the time being and helped Uncle Qiu find Yoyo together, I think your original plan was to lure your father out, so that the guards of the Tong Mansion would be reduced by half, and with your skills, it would be easy to catch your mother, but you didn't expect that even your mother would go to find Youyo, but this is not a bad thing for you, because in this way, you can concentrate your forces and capture the two of them together at once. During this period, Miao Wen has been with her father, and of course, she will be arrested by you, but you did not lock her up with her father and mother, but beat her up and then released her, and at the same time, you released the Qinglong signal in the eastern suburbs of Yejin to lead me forward, the purpose is to let Miao Wen tell me that my parents are in your hands. When I rushed to the door of your mansion and saw my mother, covered in scars and blood, my heart was like a knife. My mother's last words made all the strings in my brain that had been tense for more than ten years break. You're sure I'm not going to think much about it when I'm in a state of collapse, I'm just going to believe what I've seen and heard. You weren't mistaken, I really didn't think about why you didn't lock Miao Wen up with my parents, how Miao Wen escaped, and why my mother said such a thing. Under the anger, I have only one thought, which is to send Qiu Zeyuan, Yiyou and you to hell. ”
Tong Baiyi gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity ......"
Tong Yuqing grabbed mercilessly: "It's a pity that you fell short." Qiao Xuan didn't lose his mind because of the humiliation, and I was taken to an island in Ningtai by Ziting, and I couldn't get out, and Lu Tiansheng wouldn't come for a while, so I had enough time to think carefully about the causes and consequences of things, and naturally I had doubts about many things. For example, since you have secretly colluded with Lu Tiansheng, why don't you directly help him attack Pudong? Why did you kill Aunt Dai? Why defile Yoyo? Why did you take Yoyo and my parents? And why did you kill my parents but not Yoyo? This can't help but make me think deeply about your purpose, what exactly are you going to take revenge on? Or what is it that ruined you? It is Qiu Jiyuan and Qiu Zeyuan, your father and brother, and tens of thousands of dawn people in Pudong, the war more than 30 years ago, and the friendship between the two Qiu Tong families for nearly 100 years! Therefore, in order to destroy your father and Uncle Qiu, you chose to kill Aunt Dai at the wedding. Therefore, the war that will harm the people can only be provoked by me, and the butcher's knife that kills the Qiu clan can only be waved by me, and your great revenge can be regarded as truly avenged! ”
Tong Baiyi said coldly: "So, you will plan and unite with Lu Tiansheng to attack Pudong." ”
Tong Yuqing rubbed her clothes, "Actually, I didn't make any decision until my last doubt was resolved. ”
Tong Baiyi snorted coldly, "It was Lu Tiansheng who told you that I know how to transfigulate and dementor, right?" ”
Tong Yuqing bowed, "Mother has always followed the ancestral teachings and defended the interests of the Qiu family, even if she saw or heard Uncle Qiu abandon her and her father for Youyou, she would not say the words to let me take revenge." You used your dementorship to capture her mind and make her say what you told her to say. ”
Tong Baiyi shook his neck, and Shi Shiran said: "What you said is right, but there are some people, I don't need to use soul dementorship at all, I can drive them at will." Instead of holding on to my people, you might as well check the crooked flowers and weeds around you......"
Tong Yuqing was suspicious, "The crooked flowers and weeds around me, aren't they your Miao Wen?" ”
Tong Baiyi smiled, "That's Tong Fengyi's side, what I said is Yao Yao, who you trust and rely on, oh no, now it should be Bai Qiaoxuan's concubine, the Bai family's aunt Yao Yao." Without her help, how could I easily let Yiyou climb onto Qiu Zeyuan's bed? If it weren't for my help, how could she have blocked Bai Qiaoxuan's bullet without losing her life? ”
Tong Yuqing frowned and said, "At that time, Uncle Qiu and I found out about that Ah Qu, and the clue was broken, and now it seems that he is just a scapegoat?" ”
Tong Baiyi smiled: "He is not Yao Yao's crime alone......
