For a long time, Feng Yan was still incredulous.

"You...... You know? So why do you ......?"

The smile on Feng Yu's face slowly faded, "You used to sneak to the edge of the cliff, sit there alone in a daze, and look out from the attic of the mountain residence, watching the children of other families frolicking in the forest...... I watched them all, and I knew them all......

"Ah Yan also feels depressed in her heart, right?"

Feng Yan didn't know how to answer for a while.

"At that time, I was also wondering if I should stop it." The old man said in a low voice, "I still can't bear it." ”

"Shi Yun is a good boy, he has a good heart and is an upright person, I am relieved that you stay with him - at least, it was indeed relieved at that time."

“…… Then? ”

"yes, at the time." Feng Yu smiled faintly.

Feng Yan only felt that her hands and feet were a little cold at the moment.

Even if the old man only gave such a few words, she was already keenly aware of some things that Feng Yu had not yet said at the moment.

At that time, I was relieved, so I let it go.

So......

"That night in the Lion Garden," Feng Yan asked softly, "why did you ...... there?" ”

The old man's gaze returned to his sister's stele, and she reached out to stroke Feng Dai's name.

"Nothing is new in the world, and people are always going through the same fate over and over again." Feng Yu said softly, "If you don't pay attention all the time, you will inevitably fall in the same place." ”

Feng Yan looked at the old man, "...... Who has fallen? ”

"My sister." Feng Yu replied with a gentle gaze.

"She, like you, is the one who was chosen, and she, like you, planned a plan to escape from Chang'an - although, not for herself."

"That's ...... For whom? ”

"For her husband." The old man's voice was very soft, "She was twenty-four years old that year, and she wanted to keep her lover no matter what. They were secretly preparing, but things went wrong, and in the end, I broke it. In order to appease me, she told me about the sacrifice with some reservations, hoping that I would keep it a secret for her. ”

Hearing the words "with reservations", Feng Yan's heart rippled, but she didn't ask questions, just listened quietly.

The old man continued, "That's my closest sister, we grew up together, and those sisters who happened in the courtyards of other deep houses never appeared on us. She spoke to me like that, how could I refuse?

"At that time, there was only one thing that made me feel strange - since she was leaving, why did she stay and fly away with her brother-in-law?"

Feng Yan then understood.

"She didn't tell you the price?"

Feng Yu nodded, "Yes, I thought, since Kefu's curse is fake and a lie, then if we send my brother-in-law away, won't the person be saved temporarily?" But she didn't tell us that if her brother-in-law was gone, everything would be as she said - she would pay for her life. ”

Feng Yu raised his head, "Her plan is really well done, just like you, she is smart, careful, and has taken everything into account......

"But there's one thing she doesn't have in mind."

“…… What the? Feng Yan asked.

"She didn't know how important I thought of her." Feng Yu smiled, "I never think that there is anyone in the world who is worth her life for...... So later, when my grandmother confided the truth to me and pressed me to ask me where the man was, I didn't hesitate to say it right away.

"After that, my sister and grandmother disappeared for a long time, and when they returned to Chang'an, everything was settled."

"The sacrifice on the mountain is over?"

Feng Yu nodded.

Feng Yan looked at the old man, "She...... Angry with you. ”

Feng Yu thought for a while, "She should hate me, right?" ”

"I didn't know what happened that night until long after my first brother-in-law died," Feng Yu said in a low voice, "It turns out that after finding that man, my grandmother took the two of them up the mountain, and her old man didn't hide it, but told the secret of Liufu Mountain to that person as it was......

"I don't know what entanglements I went through in the middle, but in the end, the man killed himself in front of his sister."

Feng Yu took a soft breath, and then slowly let out a sigh.

"Then my grandmother summoned me and entrusted me with the secrets of the whole family, and it was then that I really knew how powerful the whole thing was...... No wonder that man wanted to kill himself, no one could bear this sin.

"But my sister and I, after all, can't go back to the way they were." Feng Yu said softly, "However, if I had to do it all over again, I would still do it." ”

Feng Yan looked at the stone tablet in front of her, "...... You haven't answered my previous question. ”

"Which problem?"

"The ......night in the Lion Park," Feng Yan said softly, "You will appear there, isn't it a coincidence?" ”

Feng Yu smiled again.

"Yes, I just told this story to Shi Yun." Feng Yu said in a low voice, "I didn't force him to do anything, all the choices are up to him...... If you do leave, I still have a way to get you back - but is it really necessary to get that far?

"If he does take you away, there are only a few options in front of you, either you will be caught and the marriage contract will be dissolved, or you and him will survive, or you will die together......

"Shi Yun knows the priorities, he won't let you slide with him for the sake of momentary pleasure...... In that moment, he knew how to endure. ”

Feng Yu looked at Feng Yan, "Or, is there a better way to go?" ”

Feng Yan stood there, silent for a long time.

Is there a better option?

She really wanted to ask the old man, why Feng Yu was willing to say the same thing to Yin Shiyun three years ago, but refused to mention half a word to her?

But soon, she realized that it didn't matter what the answer was.

Maybe my aunt felt that the time had not yet come, as if before the stone turned red, the old man had always been secretive about everything in the Changling Tomb, and did not mention half a word.

Maybe my aunt felt that Yin Shiyun was calm and trustworthy, and she could hold her breath and keep her mouth shut.

Maybe there's something else......

In short, there are some decisions about her, and it is always someone else who is in charge of her.

Feng Yu looked over, "Does Ah Yan hate me again?" ”

Feng Yan did not answer.

She didn't know how to answer.

"Yin Shiyun can't be your first husband anyway," the old man continued, "because I've already seen the consequences back then, and I can't let you repeat the same mistakes again—if you want to hate me, then hate me." ”
