Chapter Twenty-Five: Looking Back

In the middle of summer, the wind at night carries a sparkling breath. In the water pavilion, Rong Jin grabbed a handful of fish material in his hand and sprinkled it into the pond casually, and for a while, the fish in the pond all rushed to this place, scrambling to eat.

"My sister is so interested! Feed the fish here. It's easy to find my sister! Li Rongwei walked slowly with her maid.

The ghost is not gone, Rong Jin scolded in his heart.

Li Rongwei saw that Rongjin didn't hear it, how could she be willing. Then he said, "Look at my memory, there is still something I haven't told my sister." ”

Rong Jin threw the last fish into the pool, raised his head, and looked at her expressionlessly, "Listen up!" Don't let me down. ”

"I'm going to..."Li Rongwei paused deliberately and moved closer to Rongjin: "I am married to the fifth prince, and the date is set in two months." ”

After Rong Wei finished speaking, she covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes stared at Li Rongjin tightly, not letting go of her slightest expression.

Rongjin thought she had misheard, but in an instant, she was back to normal. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered: "I'm afraid my sister is wrong." ”

"Wrong? Daddy has already agreed. Xu Shi's father was so happy tonight that he forgot about it. Li Rongwei was complacent, she felt that she could finally suppress Li Rongjin in one thing.

Rong Jin said word by word: "This is called Na and concubine." ”

"You!"

Rong Jin sneered, "You can still be so happy to be a concubine, I'm afraid it's only you." You can't wait to tell me, do you want me to marry you? ”

The disdain in Rongjin's eyes deeply stung Li Rongwei, she has been like this since she was a child, just because her mother is a concubine, everyone looks down on her, in Li Xiang's heart, she is not as good as Li Rongjin! The jealous sour water bubbled out vigorously, and she screamed: "Li Rongjin, don't be hard-mouthed." You're dying of heartache right now, aren't you? Don't think I don't know that you've long been at odds with the Five Princes! ”

"Third Miss, please be cautious!" The sound of a cold wind came from not far away, and when I looked back, I saw Shen Yanzhi standing under the tree, his figure hidden in the night, I don't know how long he had been standing there.

Shen Yanzhi walked over and took Rongjin's hand. "Let's go, go home."

Rongjin is still in a dream, and I feel a little ridiculous. The former childhood sweetheart actually wants to take his sister as a concubine? What kind of evil fate is this!

"It's getting late, let's go rest." The two of them were outside Qingzhu Garden, Shen Yanzhi said.

"Hmm. You also go to bed early. After finishing speaking, he walked forward, Shen Yanzhi looked at her soulless, and only felt a dull pain in his heart.

Shen Yanzhi suddenly called, "Rongjin!" ”

Li Rongjin turned around, and Shen Yanzhi smiled gently: "It's breezy late, can you drink a cup?" ”

The moon shines brightly, the courtyard is deep, and the occasional insects and birds chirp, adding a sense of loneliness to this quiet night.

"This fragrant snow wine is mellow and sweet, and has no stamina. Try it, this is a kind of fruit wine that my mother used to brew. Shen Yanzhi lifted the pot of wine, slowly poured it into the emerald green wine glass, and pushed it in front of Rongjin.

Rongjin Zhu lips opened lightly, and he took a small sip gently, which was really delicious.

"What kind of person is your mother?"

"My mother..."Shen Yanzhi fell into memory, and his mother's voice and smile appeared in his mind, how long ago was that? Shen Yanzhi picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "I used to live in Chuhe Town as a family of three. I'm afraid you don't know where Chuhe Town is, right? ”

Rong Jin shook his head and listened carefully with both hands.

Shen Yanzhi's tone was calm: "It's a small town in the south, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It's a very old-fashioned story, my father was originally a child of a big family, and then he met my mother, my mother was just an orphan girl, and my father's parents naturally disagreed. My father was young and vigorous, cut off ties with his family, and brought my mother to live in Chuhe Town. ”

"And then?"

"Then it wasn't until I was ten years old that my dad's parents came with a letter saying to let him come back. Naturally, my father took my mother with me and went back happily. Who knows, I met a mountain bandit on the road..."Shen Yanzhi seemed to have those pictures in front of his eyes again, swords fluttering, blood splashing, and his mother crushed him to death in order to protect him.

Rongjin felt a little sorry for him, he encountered such a tragic thing at a young age. "What about after you escaped? Where did it go? ”

"A noble man saved me and avenged me." When Shen Yanzhi said "noble", his eyes were full of gratitude.

"Revenge? Did it help you kill the bandits? ”

"No, it's my own uncle." When it comes to this person, even after so many years, the resentment in Shen Yan's heart has not diminished in the slightest.

"Uncle dear?"

"My grandfather was a big family, and my grandfather and grandmother saw that their time was short, so they wanted my father to come back and see him for the last time. Who knows, my own uncle was afraid that our family would come back and share the family property with him, so he bought off the killer and killed all of our family on the way, disguised as a mountain bandit. ”

When Rong Jin heard this, he was furious: "Why is your uncle so vicious!" ”

"Huh! People die for money! ”

Rong Jin wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.

Shen Yanzhi smiled calmly, "It's been so long, and the revenge has been avenged, and I have already let it go." ”

Rongjin was a little curious, "Who is the noble person who helped you?" Sounds pretty impressive. ”

"He avenged me and left. I still don't know his name. Shen Yanzhi didn't want to mention this matter again, so he changed the subject: "Are you so angry today because of the five princes?" ”

"Not exactly. I just didn't understand that I cried miserably at the beginning, but my father didn't let go, and now I know that I have an old relationship with him, and I promised Li Rongwei to marry him as a concubine. ”

Who he is in Rongjin's mouth, Shen Yan knows it.

Rongjin continued: "I'm actually not so sad anymore, but I'm not reconciled. ”

Shen Yan said: "Even if your father agrees, is it possible that you want to be a concubine for him?" ”

Rong Jin shook her head in disappointment, she didn't want to live the kind of life that would break her head for a man's favor all her life.

Shen Yanzhi continued: "That's it, the five princes want power, so only Murong Chuxi will be his serious princess." Even if your father agreed at the time, it would be a concubine, and your father must be reluctant, so your father still loves you more. ”

Hearing him say this, Rong Jin nodded ignorantly. "I haven't told you about my mother yet. Before my mother, how gorgeous she was, do you know? ”

A gentle breeze blows a crape myrtle tree. Rong Jin stretched out his left hand and brushed away the flowers that fell on his shoulders for him, Shen Yanzhi smelled a girl's unique body fragrance, his heart beat faster in an instant, his face flushed, and he stammered a little: "Know, know." ”

"Hey, I didn't tell you, how do you know?" Rong Jin Qi said.

Shen Yanzhi muttered in a low voice, "Just look at you." ”

"When my father married her, he also said that he would have a couple for the rest of his life, but you see, Li Rongxue is only two years younger than me."

"A man's life is only two years."

"He hasn't remarried for so many years. I'm still him, and at least there's a unique place for my mother. ”

The two gossiped for half a night, and Rongjin unknowingly got half drunk. Shen Yanzhi smiled dumbly, looked at her drunken face with a doting face, and carried her back to the bedroom.
