Chapter 30: Sister
Yan Qingcheng was so anxious to stop her, but he was slapped on the shoulder by a hand, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Zimai shaking his head lightly at him, meaning not to act rashly.
was hesitating, but Xiangzhen's voice came again. She stood still beside Yan Yuchi, her eyes looking at him, but her gaze seemed to penetrate him and came elsewhere.
"Yan Yuchi, when you and I met in Weiwei, I respected you and regarded you as a big brother I could rely on. Later, I married into your Yan family according to the orders of both parents, and married you as a wife. Although this marriage did not bring me much surprise, it made me feel at ease. Because I feel that I know you and the Yan family, and I can rely on you for my life. After marriage, I worked diligently to keep the family and strive to be a good wife and daughter-in-law. I admit that I have a lot of shortcomings, but I have been working hard and I have done everything I can......"
At this point, her voice trembled, and she tried her best to maintain a calm tone, and continued, "Although I will feel sad and confused because of your indifference and impatience, I swear, I never thought that you would have someone else outside, let alone that your heart was never with me. ”
"I've also asked about something in the past few days, it turns out that you and Cuiyun ...... The two of you have made a private decision for life very early, but you also understand that the Yan family will never let you marry Cuiyun into the door. So, when the elders settled on me, you agreed. You think I'm young, simple, and easy to control, and even if I know the truth one day, I won't do anything to embarrass you. ”
"You guessed it right, if none of this happened, maybe I would have put up with it. But now," she took a deep breath, a somewhat desperate smile on her lips, "I can't and won't be willing to endure it." ”
Yan Yuchi was a little uncomfortable by the resolute smile on her face, he cleared his throat, sneered and muttered, "What kind of storm can you set off?" ”
Xiangzhen looked back at Jiayan, who had been silent, "I want to take Jiayan away, leave the Yan family, go far, and go to a place where no one knows us." Because I think that if he follows a father like you, sooner or later he will become a person like you, who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and I don't want my children to become such people. ”
Hearing her accuse herself so blatantly, Yan Yuchi was furious, he gritted his teeth and wanted to release a few evil words, but he was dragged by the forbidden woman who got up from the ground, she pouted at Xiangzhen with the swollen corners of her mouth, "Yan Gongzi, don't bother with her, she won't be proud for too long, as long as she is sealed with the talisman I drew myself, the evil will appear." When the time comes, you will see the ability of me and my two apprentices. ”
Xiangzhen ignored her, and only followed the little servants to walk forward, and the crowd of onlookers saw her coming, and they retreated to the back, and a large area of black pressure quickly rushed to the eaves of the wall, like a low tide. No one dared to speak, and the bold ones could occasionally glance at Xiangzhen from the corner of their eyes, and the timid ones bowed their heads and held their breath, and a few even covered their eyes with handkerchiefs.
In the midst of this oppressive silence, a childish voice suddenly pierced through the dull air.
"Mother, don't go, don't leave Jiayan."
Xiangzhen turned her head, her eyes were filled with tears, she looked at Jiayan who was pulled by Yan Qingcheng with tears in her face, bit her lip, and finally walked towards the depths of the mansion without saying a word.
In front of her, there were courtyard doors and layers of eaves, and she knew that it was the years that she and Yan Yuchi had experienced together, and they could never go back. In a trance, Xiangzhen seemed to have returned to her childhood, she and Qingcheng sang children's songs under the window, and Yan Yuchi read next to the window, from time to time in a daze, looking at the endless blue sky outside and a blue bird flying by occasionally.
"Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, we have met in empty dreams several times. I couldn't bear to put down my pen, and the paper was full of blood and tears. Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, every grass and tree is haggard. It is said that Lingshan is thousands of feet high, and it is difficult to find a red rose. Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, how much love is in the end of the world? I see geese flying south every day, and I don't see that the old people's hearts are broken. Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, the annual cold star falls. Looking at last year's star in the north, who is the cold star this year? ”
The sound of children singing was faintly heard in the alley next door, and Xiangzhen lowered her head lightly and smiled.
***
After Jia Yan fell asleep, Yan Qingcheng took off the jade pendant and purse around his waist and put it away, stared at his sleeping face for a while, and then got up and crept out of the room. Seeing Zhao Zimai standing under a tree in the courtyard waiting for him, he strode towards him and asked eagerly, "Zimai, why did you stop me just now?" I know she's innocent, and she's never going to be an evil host. ”
"How do you know? Don't tell me just because you've known her for years and what you've been hiding...... Admiration. After speaking, seeing that Yan Qingcheng seemed to be angry, he smiled bitterly, "Qingcheng, once the evil spirit invades, the host will change, she and the evil mind have been mixed together, you can no longer use the word 'understand' to judge her." ”
Yan Qingcheng snorted, "How can you be the same as Yan Yuchi, firmly believe in the words of that goddess, could it be that she said that whoever is evil is evil?" ”
Zhao Zimai slowly shook his head and said, "Qingcheng, I don't believe her, I believe in myself." ”
Seeing that Yan Qingcheng was stunned, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "You know, I have been able to see things that ordinary people can't see since I was a child, and my father found many people to show me, and they all said that I am extremely weak, easy to understand ghosts and gods, and I have to take care of myself well in order to grow up safely." Later, my father asked many questions, worshiped Buddha and God, and looked for a solution for me. So, despite the stumbling past 20 years, I have finally grown up. But Qingcheng, I actually knew in my heart that I never really got rid of these strange things one day, even when I was studying in Europa. I can see them, I can dream about them, I can feel their experiences, my resentments. ”
"You mentioned it in your letter, I remember. But Zimai, what do you want to say? Yan Qingcheng frowned.
"I dreamed of that person, the man who was made into red jade soup."
"Also...... What else? ”
"I also dreamed of his sister, who was very sad and couldn't live her life happy for her brother who disappeared inexplicably." Zhao Zimai set his eyes on the shadows of the trees at his feet.
On the tree, Zhili seemed to be stunned by the scorching sun, and his cry was unusually loud, but it still couldn't hide his voice.
"His sister looks very similar to Xiangzhen, although she is fatter, her eyebrows and eyes are almost identical."
After speaking, he saw Yan Qingcheng's eyes slowly round, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't say a word.
