CHAPTER XVI
Hua Rong frowned, her mouth pursed into a line, and she was silent for a while.
"Huainan and I are brother and sister."
"Huh?" Xiang Shuya was stunned for a few seconds, thinking that she had misheard, "Yours is Xiang Ziyu, not Hua Yu?" ā
"Hmm." Hua Rong nodded, "It's Huainan." ā
"How is that possible?" Xiang Shuya didn't believe it at all, it sounded like nonsense, "What are you kidding?" I'm asking what's going on between you and Xiang Ziyu, not letting you..."
"It's true." Hua Rong was serious, "He and I are brother and sister." ā
"Just kidding..."
The last three words were muttered, and the whole person was stunned, like a thunderbolt, which was directly chopped down, scared on the outside and tender on the inside. The brain went blank.
"You are you, you and Xiang Ziyu are brother and sister? Then who gave birth to you? ā
Suddenly, a name suddenly poured out, "Eldest princess? ā
Hua Rong nodded sincerely. No words.
"Guess right?" Xiang Shuya was even more surprised, "How is this possible?" How could you have been born to the eldest princess? How can it be? Impossible, the sister of the governor of Jiangnan suddenly became the eldest princess's child, and she also married her royal brother? Impossible, impossible. ā
Hua Rong held Xiang Shuya's hand, "I don't want to, but this is true... Absolutely true. ā
"No, no. How so? Xiang Shuya panicked, "The eldest princess is Xiang Ziyu's aunt, the eldest child of the first emperor, isn't she childless all her life?" How could a daughter pop up?! ā
"The eldest princess is indeed childless, but before she got married, she liked a man and had consensual thoughts with her, but the first emperor did not allow it, so she had to give up.
But at that time, she was already pregnant, and the woman was ridiculed by her subordinates when she was pregnant before she got married, so the eldest princess concealed this matter, went to the temple alone, and secretly gave birth to the child.
At that time, my mother, Ye Zilin, happened to be pregnant, but not long after, she gave birth. The eldest princess asked her mother to help raise the child and give her a rightful identity, and the mother pretended to continue to be pregnant until she gave birth to me in October. ā
Hua Rong told Xiang Shuya everything she knew.
At first, I also thought it was a fantasy. How could it be so coincidental, how could it be? How could he be the child of the eldest princess? How is it possible to marry your own brother?!
"Temple?" Xiang Shuya recalled something, "No wonder I heard that the eldest princess had been missing for more than a year at that time, and after coming back, she married the current concubine, it turned out to be like this." ā
"So, in terms of rank, you and Xiang Ziyu are brothers and sisters who are related by blood?" Xiang Shuya's eyes widened, it was really unbelievable, "Then when you and Xiang Ziyu were friends, why didn't the eldest princess?" Why didn't you stop it when you got married?! ā
Hua Rong smiled bitterly twice, "Because she hated the first emperor, the first emperor made her lose her lover and marry a non-human, so she wanted the son of the first emperor to suffer such pain." ā
"It's so vicious!" Xiang Shuya was furious. "I was at the beginning, why did the eldest princess suddenly care about a newcomer, with her temperament, how could it be? It turns out that there is this relationship, she treats you well on weekdays, probably to compensate you, since she is compensated, it turns out that she has done something wrong. ā
"If you had known earlier. I wouldn't have been with your brother in the first place..."
At this point, Xiang Shuya paused in time. With a long sigh, who can be sure of these things?
If this identity had been discovered at the beginning, Hua Rong and Xiang Ziyu would not have gone further, Hua Rong would not have hidden his love for Hua Yu in his heart, and Hua Yu would not have left the border because of love, nor would he be... Alas, in the end, fate makes people.
Now, what should have been concealed has been made out again, making the living uncomfortable.
"What do you think?"
"I don't know." Hua Rong shook her head, with mixed feelings, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do at all.
"What did you think?" Hua Rong asked suddenly. "After knowing that he and Tu Shan are brother and sister."
"Iā" Xiang Shuya paused and smiled bitterly, "I." You know me, it's rare to meet someone you like and dare to love me with your life, although there is a purpose in this.
But really, really like it. That's why I want to pursue it desperately.
But, you also know that it is not acceptable for a brother and sister to get married, I can accept it, but Tu Shan can't, not to mention that he still hates me and our Xiangyuan Marquis Mansion.
Like this thing, you can indeed break through everything, but only one side is not good, I am willing to give up everything, but Tu Shan can't, he retreated, maybe he doesn't love me so much. But... It's too late for anything, isn't it? ā
"Shuya." Hua Rong muttered, and bean-sized tears rolled down from her eyes, "I really don't know what to do." I really don't know. ā
"In the past, I only had a brother, and all the joys were brothers, and all the sorrows were brothers. But I knew that we were brother and sister, and it was impossible, so I retreated, and I didn't even ask what my brother thought.
I couldn't accept the world, I couldn't accept the condemnation of the world, I retreated, and then I met Huainan, he was equivalent to my second brother, I liked him, but I also had the idea of transferring feelings and seeing him as a stand-in for my brother.
But, but. I'm really in love with him now, I can't live without him, I will be happy and sad because of his joys and sorrows, and I will go through every one because of his joys and sorrows.
And we still have two children now, you know, this is the child I gave birth to desperately, I couldn't have survived, you know, Huainan and I worked hard, worshiped all the gods and Bodhisattvas, and climbed the ladder, do you know, the kind of pain that can torture you when you are poisoned, you are on the verge of death, if it weren't for the two children, I wouldn't be able to persevere.
But now tell them that they shouldn't have been born in the first place? Are they unruly monsters in the eyes of all the world? Shuya, I'm really going crazy. It's true.
You, why is fate so tricky? But when I fell in love with him, when I had to be him, when I couldn't separate from him, I made such a big joke? Why? ā
Xiang Shuya's eyes were red, her eyes were full of sadness, and tears rolled down, "I don't know, but when I fell in love with him, I told me that we are brothers and sisters." I don't really know... Probably this is fate, I like to play tricks on people, I like to give people great joy and great compassion. Give people big ups and downs.
What did Xiang Ziyu think? What does he want to do? Will he be able to accept it? ā
Hua Rong was silent for a while, "He loves me, and he doesn't care about this." ā
"What about you?"
"I don't know, I can't get past this level in my heart."
