Chapter 41: The Truth of the Year
The prom continues.
Duan Hanting came out of the study and didn't even look downstairs, as if there was no Rongyin present, no matter how lively the scene was, it had nothing to do with him.
"Zecheng, you wait."
Duan Shulan caught up and stopped him at the staircase, with a solemn expression, "You went too far just now, even if you are angry with our father, you can't joke about your life's events." ”
"I'm not kidding, didn't he want me to marry Miss Rong, then I'll marry."
Duan Hanting said lightly, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, and was just about to find a lighter, when he handed it over, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Duan Hanjiang smiling at him with crooked eyebrows.
By the way, he pried a three-gun emcourse from his cigarette case, put it in his nose and sniffed it, and then put it in his mouth and lit it.
Duan Shulan didn't have the heart to care about the two younger brothers who swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, her mind was all on Duan Hanting's marriage, and her brows were tightly locked, "Don't mess around." I really couldn't do it, so I invited my mother back from the countryside and asked her to tell her father in person. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll drive to pick it up myself, and I've been looking forward to my mother's return for a long time." Duan Hanjiang cheered and chattered non-stop.
Duan Shulan glanced at him, "I didn't talk to you, shut your mouth." ”
Duan Hanjiang immediately made a gesture to seal his lips.
Duan Hanting took two puffs of cigarette and said in an obscure voice, "Sister, you didn't understand what I meant. Now it's not that my father wants me to marry Miss Rong, but I want to marry Miss Rong. ”
Hearing this, Duan Shulan was even more confused, "Do you want to marry?" The daughter of the Rong family, do you know anyone else? ”
"Don't just know each other, the second brother has already fallen in love and can't extricate himself."
Duan Hanjiang looked like "I understand, I understand".
It's just that as soon as the smile surfaced on the corner of his mouth, he was shot back by Duan Hanting's eye knife, accompanied by a cold threat, "Before the matter is settled, if you dare to say one more word, I will sew your mouth up." ”
This red fruit threat made Duan Hanjiang shudder, when his second brother became serious, it was the most terrifying.
He hurriedly shut up, shook his head, waved his hands, and behaved like a two.
Duan Hanting didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked straight down the steps, Ah Li waited at the bottom of the stairs, and when he saw him coming down, he hurriedly greeted him, "Young marshal." ”
"Where's the fourth lady?"
Aliyu reported: "The fourth lady and Miss Feng went to the courtyard of the fifth lady, saying that they went to the small kitchen to meet a cook lady, and they are still talking, it is said that ...... The fourth lady also cried. ”
Duan Hanting's expression sank, and he hurriedly walked towards the backyard, and asked in a deep voice, "Who bullied her?" ”
"Like...... No one. I don't know why I'm crying. ”
Ali was also puzzled.
Although Miss Rong Si looks delicate, he can also see that she is an extremely strong person, and she has never cried after suffering so many grievances at home, how could she suddenly shed tears?
When he looked up again, he saw that Duan Hanting was gone, and the young marshal, who had always been calm and serious, actually turned on the running mode, which was really shocking.
Duan Shulan was on the second floor, looking at Duan Hanting's back as he left in a hurry, his suspicions became more and more serious, "Is the backyard on fire, what is he doing in such a hurry?" I've never seen him ...... like this because of anything."
The corners of Duan Hanjiang's mouth showed a very unsettling smile, "This is called, caring is chaotic." ”
Duan Shulan turned her head to look at him, crossed her arms and said, "What do you know, tell me." ”
Duan Hanjiang blinked his eyes twice, almost choked on the cigarette, and swallowed his saliva, "Eldest sister, you heard how the second brother threatened me just now, if I dare to tell the truth, he will have to beat me to death." ”
"yes." Duan Shulan narrowed her eyes and rolled up her sleeves slowly, "But if you don't tell me now, I'll beat you to death first." ”
Duan Hanjiang wanted to cry, "Don't bring such a bully ......"
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Duan Shulan raised her slap, so frightened that Duan Hanjiang immediately hugged his head, and coaxed, "Don't fight-I said, I said it's not okay?" ”
"That's pretty much it." Duan Shulan put away her slap, "Say it." ”
Before the words fell, a figure flashed in front of him, Duan Hanjiang slipped down the railing of the stairs directly, and grimaced at Duan Shulan upstairs, "Sister, I'm sorry, I can't be a 'traitor'." ”
After speaking, he shook it at Duan Shulan. Warped fart. shares, just hula and run away.
Duan Shulan was half angry to death, "Stinky boy, you come back for me!" ”
……
Gazebo in the backyard
Rong Yin and Mother Liu sat on the stone bench and talked, Feng Wanyu squatted on the side holding her chin and looking at the wind, and the two personal soldiers sent by Duan Hanting stared at each other.
"Mother Liu, I've been asking people everywhere to inquire about your whereabouts all these years, but I didn't expect you to work in the Duan Mansion."
Rongyin held Liu's mother's two calloused hands, which were hands that had worked all year round and had experienced vicissitudes, the lines were very rough, and the appearance was much older than when she was a wet nurse by A-Niang's side.
After all, ten years have passed.
Mother Liu sighed deeply, "Leaving the Rong family, I have also traveled to many places over the years, I have done all kinds of work, and I have not been in the mansion for a long time, and now I am just cooking, and my life is much lighter." ”
Rong Yin's heart was sour when he listened, "Over the years, you have suffered. ”
"Hey, I'm a slave, what's not bitter, it's just a mess to eat. It's you, Fourth Miss, after your wife left, you were in the Rong Mansion, I'm afraid you suffered a lot of grievances. ”
Rong Yin shook his head lightly, "My grievances are not worth mentioning compared to A-Niang's grievances. ”
She raised her head and looked at Mama Liu, her eyes were deep and resolute, "Mama Liu, you are the closest person to my mother, what happened back then, and why did you suddenly disappear without a trace?" ”
"I was really forced to leave at that time, if I didn't leave, I was afraid that I would be killed and killed."
Mother Liu recalled the old events, still had palpitations, her throat began to tremble, she raised her hand and slowly untied her chest. The front button, ripped open at the collar, under the collarbone, near the heart, was impressively imprinted with a scar.
Rong Yin's eyes widened, and he said in shock: "This is-"
"They did it."
Mother Liu's old voice added a touch of sadness, mixed with anger, "On the day of the fourth wife's accident, I stood at the door and waited for you to come back, just hoping that the old man could look at your face and give the fourth wife a chance to justify, but I didn't expect that under the turn of the eldest wife and the aunt's wife, the old man was red-eyed, and he shot and killed the fourth wife without saying anything, and the fourth wife was ...... She was pregnant at the time, and she was about to give birth......"
Speaking of this, Liu's mother couldn't help crying, and Rongyin secretly clenched her fists, biting her lip and refusing to let the tears fall, but the tears still fell disobediently.
"The fourth lady just left, and the whole carpet was stained red with blood, and I will never forget that scene...... Fourth Miss, you can't be angry, go to question the master, carrying a kitchen knife to avenge the fourth wife, but was hung up by the master and beaten, the old slave I am useless, I can't save you at all, that night you were beaten all over the body and thrown into the firewood room, I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine for you, but on the way back, I was assassinated, and the gangster gave me a knife in life! ”
Rong Yin listened, her whole body was trembling, she thought that there must be a secret in Liu's mother's disappearance, but she didn't expect that it was really more bloodthirsty and murderous than she imagined.
Mother Liu's eyes were red, and she said indignantly: "I know, they want my life!" They were afraid that I would one day shake out the truth, so they struck first...... But how could I die so easily? I can't weigh their hearts! The gangster thought I was dead and ran away, and I heard someone pay him, and I knew the voice turned to ashes, and it was the butler! He and the eldest lady are in the same group! With my last breath, I crawled back to the pharmacy step by step, it was the shopkeeper of the pharmacy who saved me, after recuperating from the injury, he was afraid that I would be targeted again, so he closed the pharmacy and took me north. ”
Rong Yin's face was full of tears, even his lips were trembling, and his palms had been pinched out of blood by his fingernails, "So, my aunt, I was indeed killed by them!" ”
"Except for those poisonous women in the family, there will be no one else!"
Mother Liu was very determined, but she couldn't help sighing, "The fourth wife is too favored, accounting for almost all of the master's favor, plus the fourth lady, you, the mother and daughter, have long been a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of the wives." Actually, the fourth wife didn't foresee the danger, but she didn't expect that the eldest lady would be so ruthless, and she would not hesitate to sacrifice the child in her belly, which was the flesh and blood of the Rong family......"
The corners of Rongyin's lips provoked a cold sarcastic smile, "They can't wait to let A-Niang die twice, if A-Niang's birth is really a boy, won't the status of the eldest wife and the second wife be in jeopardy?" ”
The most poisonous women's hearts, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and never suffering in the future are their usual tricks, if she hadn't been cautious all these years and minimized her sense of existence at home, I am afraid that she would have died in Huangquan a long time ago.
Rong Yin wiped her tears, forcibly pulled herself out of her sadness, and asked, "Mother Liu, who is the 'adulterer' they arranged for my mother back then?" ”
