Chapter 380: Sold My Mother
In Liu's heart, she understands very well the truth that a mother is more expensive than a child.
The reason why she was favored was because she gave birth to a son who liked Yuan Shao. If she was born to Yuan Shao and was only a daughter, then she didn't want to compete with Mrs. Zhang back then. Or, if she gave birth to a son who didn't like Yuan Shao, she would also be snubbed by Yuan Shao.
Therefore, over the years, she has been committed to cultivating Yuan Xi to be similar to Yuan Shao's temperament, and she will let Yuan Xi do whatever Yuan Shao likes. However, she never thought about whether it was right or not, and she didn't think much about whether Yuan Xi was so good or not. Anyway, how to please Yuan Shao, she will do what she wants.
To be honest, in her heart, she really doesn't think much of Mrs. Zhang. When it comes to appearance, she doesn't dare to beat Mrs. Zhang, but she feels that Mrs. Zhang is too traditional and old-fashioned and doesn't know how to be flexible at all. When she was with Yuan Shao, she had never seen Mrs. Zhang take the initiative to please Yuan Shao, and often, she asked Yuan Shao to please her.
At the beginning, Yuan Shao was surrounded by a woman with a good appearance, and she was Yuan Shao's wife, so Yuan Shao was naturally obedient to her, and when she was newly married, Yuan Shao would naturally follow her. But later, Yuan Shao had her Liu family and more women, so he was naturally alienated from her. Mrs. Zhang was provoked by her Liu three times, which made her lose Yuan Shao's favor. Liu dared to say that if Mrs. Zhang was still in the Yuan family, she would also be squeezed out by her, and she would have no place in the Yuan family. So, now, seeing Mrs. Zhang, especially seeing Mrs. Zhang treat her like a dead thing. hating her appearance, she couldn't help but be angry with Mrs. Zhang.
But now I listened to Yin Xiao's words. She didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. Yin Xiao's words also made her understand her situation. I got it. The Mrs. Zhang in front of her is no longer the Mrs. Zhang when she was in the Yuan family.
"Mrs. Yin, Sister Zhang...... I, I was wrong......" Liu said weakly: "So far, I'...... I only ask you for one thing, can you spare my mother and son? The slave family surrendered just to save the lives of my mother and son, and the slave family knew some of the laws of the New Han Dynasty and knew what could be done to make up for it. Or, in this case, let my son do labor. Even if he is allowed to do it for the rest of his life, he will admit it, and he just wants to ask the ladies to spare his life, as for the slave family...... All my life, I will be a wife and a slave, and I will be sent by you without complaint. ”
Liu's surrender, one wanted to save the lives of his mother and son, and the other was a little thoughtful, wanting to keep his glory and wealth. But now. Seeing Mrs. Zhang and listening to Yin Xiao's words, she knew that it was impossible, so she had to retreat to the next best. I hope I can save the lives of my mother and son.
"It's impossible to let Yuan Xi go, but what ...... you" Yin Xiao said expressionlessly: "According to the laws of our New Han Dynasty, if you know repentance. Or, spare your life. According to our investigation, you have had a lot of bad things. But it is not a sin unworthy of death. Barely alive. But if you don't regret it, I'm afraid the end is not good. ”
Some women who are really bad, the execution is certain, but it is not fatal, and they may be exiled to the Qinglou, but there are not many such examples. After all, the New Han Dynasty would not explicitly support the Qinglou project. If it weren't for the discussion between the DPRK and the central government, it was believed that the Qinglou industry was unlikely to be completely wiped out in the short term, and there was still a need to save it, so I am afraid that this industry would have been strictly forbidden to appear in the forces of the New Han Dynasty. This, also Liu Yi took into account, in the future, the New Han Army will definitely capture a lot of women of different races, these women, who cannot be educated, are not impossible to put into the Qinglou to alleviate the needs of society.
Well, it's a social need. This, even in the postmodern so-called civilization period, this industry cannot be completely banned. Therefore, Liu Yi will open one eye and close one eye, which can be regarded as acquiescing to the existence of such an industry.
There are many colorful stories in the Qinglou industry, and Liu Yi can't bear to completely ban the existence of this industry. Come to think of it, there are many times when I yearn for these places. In later generations, how many men did not aspire to the red light district? Therefore, Liu Yi thought about it for a long time and decided to stay in this place that can give men in the world infinite imagination.
It is not impossible for a woman like Liu to be put into these green buildings.
After Yin Xiao finished speaking, she picked up the sword that Liu Yi threw in front of Mrs. Zhang, handed the sword to Mrs. Zhang's hand and said, "Sister Zhang, no matter what, the past is over, and you have to avenge your son, it's understandable." Husband, he also met your requirements, but husband, he also has his considerations, and there are some things that can affect the entire Han. Our husband's every move will be under the eyes of the whole world. As his woman, we have to think more about our husbands. People can't be resurrected after death, in the future, forget about Yuan Tan, husband has so many children now, every one of them, just like your children, doesn't care too much about whether it's Sister Zhang's biological flesh and blood. What's more, you care, doesn't your husband care? You are now the daughter of your husband, if you only care about your own biological flesh and blood, but do not care about your husband's biological flesh and blood, do you think your husband's heart will be happy? Our family, so many relatives, would you rather be sad for a Yuan Tan? But you don't want to see us as relatives? Don't want to live happily with us? If you still can't figure it out, it proves that in your heart, you don't like our husband at all, you don't care about our family, and you don't regard us sisters as your sisters. In this way, if the husband doesn't like you one day and doesn't love you anymore, then we won't accept you anymore, think about it, now, the sword is in your hand, a sword goes down, Yuan Xi will die, and your revenge can be regarded as revenge, tonight, go to your husband to talk, don't let your husband really be angry with you. ”
Yin Xiao persuaded Mrs. Zhang bitterly, asking Mrs. Zhang to face the reality bravely and grasp the hard-won happy life, not to affect the relationship between her and Liu Yi because of the unscrupulous son Yuan Tan, let alone the harmony and tranquility of the entire Liu family.
In the final analysis, Liu Yike is not the husband of Mrs. Zhang as a woman, but the husband of so many women. And Lewy, for the time being, managed to make each of them feel left out because of too many women. Every woman. can really feel Liu Yi's care and love, so that every woman. They all deeply feel happy, and Liu Yi can achieve such a point. It is not easy to allow a group of women with different temperaments to live together in harmony. If, one of the women made some excessive demands to Liu Yi, or rather, who made Liu Yi angry. So, do these women also have the responsibility to make Liu Yi live more comfortably? Happy?
They often hear that Liu Yi tells them that men and women are equal, and they can also feel very cordially that Liu Yi treats them equally and feels Liu Yi's respect for them. In this era where men are inferior to women, Liu Yi can make them feel this kind of equal respect, which is their luck and happiness in itself. Therefore, if they don't know how to cherish their current life, one day. If anyone is disgusted with Liu Yi, then they will not feel that this woman has anything to sympathize with.
Liu's saying is really true, people must be in happiness, but others are not content in happiness.
Although Yin Xiao didn't say anything all the time, but. In her heart, she also faintly felt that Mrs. Zhang was indeed a little too much now. Yuan Tan is so unscrupulous. This is something that Mrs. Zhang has personally experienced, and she has also expressed. I don't worry about this son anymore, but it's coming. But it still has to be like this, so that Liu Yi is worried about her affairs, Yin Xiao feels that Mrs. Zhang really shouldn't be.
"I—Am I really wrong?" Mrs. Zhang held the hilt of the sword and said a little confused.
"What do you say? Well, it shouldn't be a big problem, husband, you don't know him. Come on, Yuan Xi should die, kill him. Yin Xiao kicked Yuan Xi, who had turned the soft beach into a pile of mud, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhang.
Yuan Xi has already collapsed now. Especially when he knew that he was going to die, he was already so frightened that he couldn't speak. Of course, when Liu Yi was here, he didn't dare to speak at all.
Now, seeing Mrs. Zhang holding a long sword in her hand, he was so frightened that he couldn't help crying and begging for mercy: "No! Don't kill me...... Mother, mother, you are my mother, no, don't kill me...... The child knows that he is wrong...... Wow wow......"
"Mother? Ma'am? Mrs. Zhang burst into tears and glanced at Yuan Xi in disgust: "I'm Tan'er, but my brother is your own brother, and your mother and son were killed, but now, you call me mother?" ”
In terms of relationship, Mrs. Zhang is indeed Yuan Xi's eldest mother.
"Mother! You're my mother...... Don't kill me......" Yuan Xi, who was tied with his hands behind his back, knocked his head desperately, until the blood flowed from his forehead.
Liu didn't know if he was really scared at the moment, so he knelt and kowtowed: "Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, no, don't kill my son...... I, I was wrong, I beg you, yes, no, you kill me, yes, kill me, exchange my life for his life, you, you don't have to let him go, you can beat or scold him, let him be in the army, let him do labor, just ask Mrs. Zhang to spare his life......"
"Yes, yes, auntie, don't, don't kill me, it's not me who killed the eldest brother, yes, it's all her, it's her idea, and she ordered it to be killed. It has nothing to do with me......" Yuan Tan heard her mother Liu's words of intercession, and actually followed Liu's words, turned her head to look at Liu, and cried: "It's her, it's her, if you want to kill, kill her, don't kill me, I, I don't want to die......"
The three women present were almost in a daze at the same time. Whether it is Yin Xiao, Mrs. Zhang, or Liu, they don't seem to expect that Yuan Xi will be so shameless. At this time, he could not even recognize his mother, but instead called Mrs. Zhang his mother, but instead pushed all the sins on his mother, and let her kill her first.
At this moment, Liu suddenly had a piercing pain, looked at Yuan Xi with a blank expression, and for a while, there was a feeling that everything was lost. The whole person was soft, sitting on the ground softly, looking at Yuan Xi with extremely strange eyes, and kept thinking in his heart, this is his most beloved son?
If she was asked to die on behalf of Yuan Xi and Yuan Xi lived, she didn't have too many complaints, but Yuan Xi, the son, said this by herself, but it hurt Liu's heart.
And Mrs. Zhang, her expression was complicated for a while, the sword she was holding trembled, and she didn't know whether to stab Yuan Xi with a sword. She is, after all, a kind woman who has never killed anyone in her life. Even if Yuan Xi was her killer enemy, if she really wanted him to kill Yuan Xi at this moment, she didn't dare to do it.
Seeing Yuan Xi's ugly appearance of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and seeing Liu's painful look, Mrs. Zhang's heart suddenly brightened. She thought of her own Yuan Tan. is also the same virtue as this Yuan Xi. If he is alive now, if he puts himself in Liu's position. Will the rebel Yuan Tan even deny his mother for the sake of his own life? Is he also as miserable as this Liu? Is life better than death?
"Gege...... This is your son. Mrs. Zhang looked at Liu, whose face was like ashes, and said with a particularly relieved smile: "Originally." I wanted to kill him so that you could feel the pain of your own son's murder, but now it seems that it is not needed. Even if I don't kill Yuan Xi, he can't escape the national law of our New Han Dynasty, and he can't escape his life, so why should I, Zhang, be a villain? Well, if I kill him with my own hands, it will seem that I can't let go of it. I will spare you today, and in the future, the first half of my Zhang family's life has nothing to do with me, and from this moment on, my Zhang family will live again. ”
"Sister Zhang, have you figured it out?" When Yin Xiao heard this, she looked at Mrs. Zhang happily and said.
"Thank you, Sister Yin Xiao. People now understand that only cherishing the present is the most important thing, and I made my husband angry. I went to coax my husband back, this person, and Lao Yinxiao's sister escorted him back to prison. What to do with him, don't let me know anymore. Mrs. Zhang's whole person seemed to be relaxed. Hand the sword back to Yin Xiao.
"Great, seeing Sister Zhang, you can let go of the hatred in your heart. I think my husband will be even happier. Well, in fact, in my husband's heart, I really spoil you, and sometimes, my little sister is a little jealous. Hey hey ......"
Mrs. Zhang's face turned red and she didn't dare to answer. Thinking about it, Liu Yi has indeed done a lot for her, and she understands in her heart that in Liu Yi's heart, the pelican is to spoil her.
"No, no...... I don't want to go back to prison, auntie, please, help the child plead with the master. ”
"Shut up! Children of the Yuan family, how can you be such a spineless son? I don't even recognize your mother! Seeing Yuan Xi kneeling and begging Mrs. Zhang to intercede for her, Liu begged Mrs. Zhang to intercede for her, she was angry for no reason, and scolded.
"It's all you! It's all you...... It was your idea to kill Yuan Tan, and it was also your idea to surrender, you knew that surrendering and I would also die and you surrendered, not so that you could live for yourself? I understand, it must be that you are self-contained and a little bit of posture, and you know that Liu Yi likes beautiful women, yes, I'm so stupid, Fang Cai, aren't you a force in front of Liu Yi? Do you want Liu Yi to take a fancy to you, and you can keep your glory and wealth without dying? You are not my mother, I was killed by you, Mrs. Zhang, aunt, don't go, please......" Yuan Xi really didn't care about any face at the moment, and his heart was really full of resentment towards the Liu family. He now felt that if he led the army to break through, he might be able to escape like Yuan Shang, but after listening to Liu's words, it was now a mortal situation.
He was unwilling, he didn't want to lose his life.
Yuan Xi is indeed not stupid. He has already seen that this Mrs. Zhang, Yuan Tan's biological mother, should be more loved by Liu Yi, if she can spare herself and blow the pillow wind with Liu Yi, then maybe he will still be able to live. Therefore, he knew that he could only beg Mrs. Zhang now.
"You bastard! I am your mother, do you dare to be disrespectful to your mother? Liu was so angry that if it weren't for Yin Xiao beside her, she was afraid that she would have to get up and slap Yuan Xi.
But at this moment, where will Yuan Xi pay attention to this mother-in-law Liu? Seeing that Mrs. Zhang didn't pay attention to him, his mind changed, and he cried again: "Yes, aunt, you, you have worked with my mother and his husband, you see that she is still in good shape, a little more mature than back then, or, you go and talk to the Taifu, take my mother in, in the future, you will work together as a husband, in this way, we have become a family again, easy to talk, beg the Taifu to let me go once, please ...... you"
Mrs. Zhang, Yin Xiao and Liu were shocked by Yuan Xi's shameless words again. This guy, in order to survive, can actually say such a thing? Sold all your own mothers?
Mrs. Zhang felt a feeling of nausea for no reason, at this moment, she felt that she was afraid that she would stain her hands if she killed this guy with her own hands, so she snorted, stuffed the sword into Yin Xiao's hand, and she was about to leave.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang didn't want to answer him at all, Yuan Xi was anxious, and a sense of despair surged in his heart. He knew that if Mrs. Zhang didn't save him this time, if he was sent back to prison, he was afraid that this life would be over.
For a while, a wave of hatred swelled up in his heart.
And at this moment, Mrs. Zhang stuffed back the saber in Yin Xiao's hand, because Yin Xiao lost her mind, she didn't hold it, and it fell from her hand at once.
Yin Xiao's saber is naturally not an ordinary sword, it is a well-crafted and sharp long sword. As soon as the sword landed, it was directly inserted into the ground.
And Yuan Xi crawled towards Mrs. Zhang on his knees, and the long sword was inserted into the ground, but it was just inserted in front of Yuan Xi.
Although Yuan Xi was tied behind his back, he could stand up and move his body. He had hatred in his heart, unwilling, and when he saw the sword in front of him at this moment, he subconsciously rubbed forward, and with a snap, the rope around his shoulder was actually cut by the sharp blade at once.
As soon as the rope was broken, the hand tied to his back moved a little wider, and he suddenly knelt up, turned to one side, and actually cut the rope on his hand, freeing his hands. (To be continued......)
