Chapter 138: Rupture (3)
Xinyue felt a big hand fall on her shoulder, she looked sideways and saw Jiang Yang lowering his head, rubbing his shoulder.
His hand was very strong, Xinyue first felt a burst of pain, and then it was relieved, Xinyue wanted to resist, but Jiang Yang held her down, not letting her move, seeing that she couldn't struggle, she lowered her head and didn't speak.
"New Moon...", Jiang Yang called New Moon's name.
Xinyue raised his head and looked at Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang's eyes were calm at this time, and then there were some different looks, he looked at Xinyue, Xinyue was also waiting for him to speak, and the two were still a little silent for a while.
After a moment, Jiang Yang spoke, "Can't you, be stupid?" ”
"Didn't you just call me stupid?" Crescent Moon's hair hung down from behind her ears, probably because she was lying down just now, so her hair was loose, and her face was pink.
"Well, you were really stupid just now." Saying that, Jiang Yang laughed, but the hand on Xinyue's shoulder had already been taken, "It's not good to rub it for too long, and when you rest at night, it will be fine to rub it with medicinal wine." ”
Xinyue nodded and said to Jiang Yang, "I want to go back." ”
"Well, I'll send someone to see you off tomorrow." Jiang Yang knew from the fainting of Xinyue that she didn't want to stay in the Jiang family now, so she was like this.
"What happened just now..."Xinyue felt that the two of them were a little impulsive just now, so the conversation was a little out of bounds.
Jiang Yang opened his mouth and said, "Just do what you say, this matter is indeed my delusion." You are only in your twentieth year this year, and you have not yet given birth to children, so why should you mix with a dead-hearted person like me. ”
Saying that, Xinyue found that Jiang Yang's eyes were a little gloomy, although it was only faint, but it still could not be ignored.
Jiang Yang instinctively flinched a little when facing the new moon, because from his heart, he felt that he really had no way to stand side by side with the new moon.
Jiang Yang stood up and wanted to send Xinyue away, but was pulled by Xinyue's sleeve, Jiang Yang lowered his head, looked at Xinyue's shiny appearance, and nodded, "Well, I know." ”
Seeing that he understood what he meant, Xinyue then let go of Jiang Yang's sleeve, and Jiang Yang also walked out as he wished.
After Jiang Yang left, Mama Wang, Feng'er and the others, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately rushed in, seeing that Xinyue was safe and sound, and Fei'er's advance notice just now, only to confirm that she was really fine.
Mama Wang stepped forward and saw that Xinyue seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn't bother her, but reached out to put the strand of hair that Xinyue had just scattered, don't go behind her ears, and fixed it behind the hairpin, Xinyue felt that her hair was tight, so she raised her head and saw that the person who arranged her hair was Mama Wang, Xinyue smiled and said, "Mama, let's get ready to leave." ”
Mama Wang nodded, "Well, the slave knows." ”
"Before leaving, let's go to the Hou Mansion first, and today my will to punish my brother has also come down, I'll go to them first" Xinyue remembered the matter of An Xuanhou's Mansion, and she really felt dizzy for a while, and then Mama Wang helped Xinyue get up from the bed and went to their yard.
As soon as she walked to the door, Xinyue saw Chen hurriedly walking over from the corridor on the side, and she didn't see Xinyue in a hurry, so she didn't know what was going on for a while, and when she looked at it again, it seemed that everyone from Hefu was going to the front yard.
Xinyue pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's not good to be the Marquis of Zhenbei." ”
"Zhenbei Hou? That's the foundation of the Jiang family" Xinyue heard Mama Wang say this, looked at her and said, "Mama, you too, you are old." ”
With that, Xinyue tidied up her clothes and hair, supported Feng'er with one hand, and the two went to the front hall.
When they arrived at the front hall, Old Marquis Jiang, Old Lady Zhuang and Jiang Yang were already there, and the Chen family seemed to have gone out, and after coming in with Xinyue, when they wanted to say something to Xinyue, they were more urgent because of other things, so they walked up to the front hall in a few steps and nodded at Old Madam Zhuang.
Old Madam Zhuang saw that the matter had been decided, and then she couldn't help crying.
Old Marquis Jiang looked around and asked, "What about Zan'er?" Hasn't Zan come back yet? ”
"Uncle sent a letter, saying that he went directly to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion."
"Okay, let's go, let's go. Eldest daughter-in-law, put aside the affairs of the family first and go to Beifu. Saying that, Old Marquis Jiang couldn't hide his pain, walked out of the front hall in a few steps, and saw Xinyue standing beside him, but after only giving her a look, he staggered and left.
Xinyue naturally knew what was going on, so she was so calm, and Old Madam Zhuang also walked out with the support of the maid, "Xinyue, you are still sick, why did you come out." ”
"I'm here to say goodbye to you, old lady, but it seems that there is something big in the house?"
"Good boy, if you are sick, you naturally have to go back to recuperate, and I will let you be sent back in a big carriage in the house. The old marquis of Beifu swallowed his breath a quarter of an hour ago, and we are in a hurry to see it, so we won't send you away, and we will cultivate well. ”
"Yes" Xinyue saw that this was indeed the case, so she watched the Jiang family leave in a hurry.
"Are you leaving today?" Chen heard the conversation between Xinyue and Old Lady Zhuang, and also walked over at this time.
"I was going to leave tomorrow, but something like this happened in the house, and I can't help Mrs. you now, so I won't bother and prepare to leave." Crescent Moon explained to Chen.
"Okay, you go back and take care of it first, I'll go and see you when I have time." Chen was also in a hurry, and there were still many things to arrange at home, so he asked his mother-in-law to lead Xinyue and send her to the carriage.
Xinyue declined the carriage of the Jiang family, because she saw that it was still early and she wanted to go to the Hou Mansion.
Xu Xintai had already been released early this morning, and Xinyue only knew about it after hearing Jiang Yang say it just now, otherwise she would have come over early in the morning.
An Xuanhou Mansion, which has been established for more than 150 years, was obtained by Xu Luo, the great-grandfather of Xinyue. The Xu family was originally a retainer of Empress Zhang, and with Empress Zhang, he sent troops together, and finally was able to make meritorious contributions, and was one of the founding heroes of the Great Sage, and because he assisted Empress Zhang's son, that is, later Taizong ascended the throne, and was rewarded to the current mansion.
Since the establishment of the mansion, it has been prosperous until now, and now Xu Xintai's generation is already the fifth generation, and now it is the first time to usher in the current situation.
The people who came to the mansion by order had just left, and the guards had not yet arrived, and the new moon had just arrived at the door, looking at the housekeeper standing by the door with a frightened face, you can imagine what a big thing had happened just now. Xinyue stepped forward a few steps, and the old housekeeper couldn't hold back for a while when he saw Xinyue, and shed tears, "Girl, girl, you are back." ”
"Well, I'm back. How is my eldest brother and sister-in-law? Xinyue saw that the front door was closed, and the housekeeper also got the news, waiting for her here, thinking that there was a doorway for Xinyue to enter.
"Girl, let's go in with me and see. But we can't go through the main gate now, Your Majesty's will is very clear, only a small door is left for the necessary personnel to enter and exit, and the person who came to deliver the decree just now also said that if you are allowed to come in once, you can only come once. Hurry up and go in, it's late, I'm afraid there will be something wrong with Master Hou. Xinyue was dragged inside by the housekeeper, and while listening to him, it was thought that Xu Xintai couldn't accept it for a while, and was losing his temper in the house.
Crescent Moon entered through the small gate, she had not lived in this mansion for a few years, but this was the first time she had seen this small door, and Crescent Moon could only bend down to walk through it.
His Majesty is really disgusted with Xu Xintai, and such a will is really humiliating.
For the early death of his father, Xu Xintai wanted to revitalize, and originally did not decline Anxuanhou Mansion, but this time because he was eager to avenge his father, he indirectly killed His Majesty's beloved son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, His Majesty did not kill Xu Xintai with a knife, and he thought that he also took care of his mother.
Entering through the small door, and through a long pathway, Crescent Moon walked from the cloister on one side to the backyard.
As soon as she entered the backyard door, Cao's sister-in-law waited here for a long time, grabbed Xinyue, and said breathlessly, "You go and see your eldest brother, he was released from Xing Si's prison, received the order in the front hall, and went to the ancestral hall, and now he locks himself inside, and no one is allowed to enter." It's been almost an hour, and there's been no movement. ”
Seeing that Cao's sister-in-law was about to faint from crying, Xinyue helped her up and asked her to sit on the stone on the side, "You have to be strong, I'll go see my brother first, you watch and pack up the things of the two children, and I'll take them out." ”
"You're going to take two children?"
"Or else? If the two children are sick, the guards at the door will be used to stepping on the high and low, when the time comes, what can I do? Hurry up and write to your mother's house, and I'll take you out. It's inconvenient for me to take care of Mincong, but I'll take Minhui with me, and my brother will bother you to take care of it, I can't stay too long, and if the guards come, we won't be able to get out. I'll go see the big brother first, you hurry up and get ready. Seeing that there was a light in Cao's sister-in-law's eyes, Xinyue thought that she was trying her best to think about her two children.
Xinyue came over from Cao's sister-in-law and walked quickly to the ancestral hall, Xu Xintai must be anxious and angry at this time, ashamed and angry, maybe he will do something stupid.
When Xinyue walked to the door of the ancestral hall, she found that Xu Xintai was waiting for him, and listened to Cao's sister-in-law say that the closed door had also been opened at this time.
I saw Xu Xintai with his back to the door, kneeling neatly in front of the full hall of tablets, and there was no excessive performance. Hearing the footsteps of the new moon, he just said lightly, "You're here." ”
Such a bland word immediately made Xinyue stunned, she walked forward quickly, pulled Xu Xintai's arm, and said loudly, "You just make a big fuss, such a decadent and unprepared appearance is too worrying." ”
I saw Xu Xintai, with a scruffy beard, very messy hair, red eyes, and tears. And he was only wearing a thin shirt, dirty, and the placket was torn, and his chest could be seen. Seeing this, Xinyue's heart ached, and tears flowed down.
"You get down on your knees too." Xu Xintai took back his arm from Xinyue's hand, patted the futon on the side, and asked Xinyue to accompany him.
Xinyue stabilized her mind, she knew that she couldn't panic now, so she stopped and knelt beside Xu Xintai.
"Xinyue, you see, the signs here, the top two, are our great-grandfather Xu Luo and great-grandmother. He was an orphan, so he had no more relatives on him. He started as a small horse feeder in Queen Zhang's family, and broke such a big family business for us, and now it is all in my hands. Xu Xintai said very calmly, he should have thought about these words many times, so he just said them.
"What do you want to say?" Xinyue listened for a long time, but did not hear his main purpose, "Moreover, this family has not been cut off by you." Our title is still there, you still have a successor, and Min Cong still has infinite possibilities. Your Majesty will not reuse you again, there will be a new Majesty. ”
"You're really fluttering." Although Xu Xintai said this, there was no mockery in his words, but a kind of relief, "It is really a good thing to be sent to my aunt by you." Everyone in this family has fallen, and you are still awake and supported. This one, as you say, will not fall. ”
"I don't want to live with my aunt either, it's you who didn't keep me. I can also join you in this house. Now, in the hard days, I naturally want to do what the Xu family should do. Min, Ming, Min, I'll take them away. You're in the house, stay well. They are too young to lose their father and mother as early as we do. ”
When it came to the parents of the two, Xu Xintai's already numb face suddenly fluctuated, he looked at the new moon, and then tears entered the pillar, and he couldn't hold back crying anymore, "I, I am ashamed of our ancestors and ancestors, and even more ashamed of His Royal Highness the Prince, he has been letting me come back alive before he breathes." New Moon, I've hurt too many people, I, I'm sorry for too many people. These feelings of guilt, powerlessness, have completely knocked me down, I can no longer cope with it, you tell me, what should I do, what should I do, to get rid of this torment. Before you came, I had already thought of a way, but you were right, Min Hui and Min Cong were even younger than we were back then. I, what have we suffered, to this point, I am absolutely not allowed, my child, to go again. ”
Xinyue stretched out her hand and hugged the collapsed Xu Xintai, "Big brother, don't leave me behind." Don't leave me behind. ”
After Xu Xintai heard this, although he did not speak, he nodded firmly.
Xinyue knew that he wouldn't do anything stupid, but he was still not at ease, so he explained him and said, "I already know it from Jiang Yang. He entered the palace yesterday to intercede with you, and His Majesty has already promised him and the ministers who interceded with you, saying that they would lock you up for about two years first, see how you performed, and then put you under Jiang Yang's command and start from scratch. This is another good opportunity. And His Majesty's health is not very good, you can't, you have always been afraid of him. ”
"He's our uncle after all." When Xu Xintai heard the news, his heart still felt a little better.
