Chapter 24: Love Lasts Longer Than Hate
Wang Ci had been standing outside and waiting for a long time, and when he saw that Jin'er was the only one beside him, he was a little puzzled: "Bai Gongzi and... Didn't that girl send you up? He didn't know Qiaozhi's name, only that she and Bai Jian were companions.
Jin'er shook her head, and ran to Wang Ci's side with slightly red ears: "My sister temporarily remembered that she had something to do, and she was in a hurry to leave." Dad, let's go back. ”
"Hmm..."Wang Ci nodded, the things had actually been ordered, and Jin'er could go down the mountain alone, but... He looked at Jin'er's obviously absent-minded appearance, and hesitated: "Do you want to wait no longer?" When they're done, do you say goodbye to them before leaving? ”
Jin'er shook her head: "They shouldn't have time to come up again, maybe they will have a chance to see each other again in the future." Daddy, you don't have to worry too much about me."
Wang Ci didn't speak again, in fact, he was not used to taking on the role of a father. Although the eldest daughter in front of her has not yet reached the age of talking about marriage, she has already revealed an unusual calmness. There is no resemblance to the child in his impression who is submissive and always cries on his mother's body.
Although the girl in front of her was shy, although she seemed to be messing up for his sudden concern, she looked bright and soft. But Wang Ci felt that her smile had not reached the bottom of her eyes, and she was just well-behaved on the surface.
Since when did that soft and glutinous child suddenly become what it is today? Wang Ci was a little emotional for a while, and his gaze staring at Jin'er became deeper.
Jin'er was uncomfortable by this deep gaze, and suspected that Wang Ci suddenly doubted herself. She moved uncomfortably, and looked at Wang Ci's gaze with some inquiry: "Daddy? ”
"Ahh Nothing, nothing. Wang Ci thought that Jin'er was scared, and quickly turned his gaze away, "A lot of things in the past... I couldn't help it, so I did a lot wrong. But it's not too late to make amends, Jin'er... Believe Daddy. ”
Although Wang Ci is only a little parent official in Yanling, he is also arrogant on weekdays. The stumbling of this passage has completely lost the confidence and high-profile of the previous strategy. It seems to be an ordinary father begging his daughter to forgive him, with a little bit of arrogance and reluctance.
After Jin'er heard this, she was stunned for a long time. She thought that she would no longer have any emotions for the word father. But at first glance, when I heard Wang Ci's twisted apology, I still couldn't help but make waves.
Since the day when Jin'er strengthened her faith and decided to avenge her mother, she begged many people and used many people. She left behind her conscience, gave up the kindness that her mother had taught her since she was a child, and quickly grew from a child who didn't know anything and had a good will for everyone to the wicked person who was calculating and wanted to put everyone to death.
Is the Third Lady bad? Bad, bad to the bone. But how is she now, how is the current Jin'er compared to the former third lady? I'm afraid it's several times worse than the third lady, right?
In order to get revenge, she planned such a big game of chess, losing everything she had, even her future. When Lieber scratched her face, the sore spot made her firm; When Qiaozhi and Bai Jian discussed how to send her back to Wang Ci in the restaurant, she hid in the dark corner of the stairs, there was no so-called moving, some were just calm calculations, how to use the water to push the boat.
She didn't cry when she knew her face was disfigured, because it was one of her plans; When Pretty Eda learned the whole truth with disgust on her face, she was not sad, but just lost, because this was something she had decided a long time ago... And when the dust settled, and her father smiled guilty at her and apologized to her, she thought that her heart would be unwavering, but it began to fluctuate out of thin air.
An emotion called grievance floated in her chest, although this inexplicable emotion was sealed as early as when her mother died and Wang Ci was indifferent.
But now, she suddenly, suddenly, she wanted to cry for herself, for her mother, for the pretty branch who was disappointed in herself, and maybe for Wang Ci.
Family affection is really a very strange thing, sometimes you feel that you have put on armor and are invincible, and you shout at each other with high spirits, but you are easily resolved by the other party's words, and you lose your armor.
Although, you have done countless psychological constructions, telling yourself that this sentence is just a play, but the other party is forced to retreat... Even if you have told yourself countless times, but after you really hear it, you still can't help but feel wronged, lost, and sad.
Wang Ci watched a little confused as Jin'er suddenly squatted down and covered his face silently. At first, it was a quiet sob, and then it got louder and louder, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered in the past few years.
He watched Jin'er cry in silence, a slight pain in a place in his chest, and he seemed to understand how inhumane he used to be. He thought of Jin'er's biological mother who had contributed a lot to him, the second lady who had been depressed since she married into the house, the third lady who was pampered and arrogant, and unforgiving everywhere, and the unfair treatment of Wang Lin and Jin'er...
Wang Ci finally began to feel that he seemed to have done something wrong. All of this is because of him, and the main reason is him, not the so-called third lady.
He slowly stepped forward, took Jin'er, who was squatting on the ground and crying, into his arms, and patted Jin'er's thin back over and over again. This time it was not guilt, nor was it the transfer of his love for Wang Lin to Jin'er, it was just out of a father's actions that the crying child should be, and he suddenly understood the so-called father's responsibility and deep meaning.
It's not too late to hope.
Because of this unplanned emotional outburst, when Jin'er was calm enough to break away from Wang Ci's arms, her hatred for Wang Ci was no longer so strong, and she was gradually relieved of the so-called revenge plan. After all, the third lady who wanted to kill the most had already died according to the script. And her hatred for Wang Ci is not strong.
All she resented and hated was the king's inaction. He was silent, watching everything coldly, watching his mother and her survive under the means of the third lady, dying... Her initial resentment was just born from this and gradually fermented. And now that everything has settled, she should also tell Li Bo and Shen Ya to try to give up hatred and choose to forget.
She looked at Wang Ci's concerned eyes, pursed her lips, and for a moment, she wanted to talk to her. But only for a moment. She turned her head to look at Wang Lin not far away, and said, "Daddy, you really want to put Lonely... Do you want to leave your brother in the mountains? ”
Wang Ci heard that what she asked was actually this, and was stunned for a while before replying: "He is not your younger brother, Baiyun Daoist Temple should be the best place for him." ”
"However, how is Daddy going to explain to everyone that my brother stayed in Baiyun Dao Temple?" Jin'er bit her lip and made persistent efforts, "Do you want to say that my younger brother is too stubborn, so he stays in the Taoist temple to discipline him?" ”
Jin'er smiled bitterly, since she has decided to let go of her hatred, let's start with Wang Lone. Although he was stubborn, he learned the vicious temper of the third lady to the fullest... But in the end, she is still a child, and in the end, she is still her own brother.
Hearing Jin'er's rhetorical question, Wang Ci was actually a little hesitant. When he realized that the main cause of the matter was him, not the Third Lady, his hatred for the Third Lady was gone. When his eyes fell on the son he once loved so much again, there was no disgust or other emotions, he just felt... Somewhat tired.
The persistence of the past, the stubbornness of the past, are all a joke. He got it wrong from the start.
Noticing that Wang Ci had been looking in Wang Li's direction, his expression seemed to loosen. Jin'er tilted her head and handed the words out: "Actually... I also think what my sister said makes sense. ”
"Huh? What words? Wang Ci's heart moved and asked.
"As far as my sister said, the blood test is on..."Jin'er slowed down her voice and made a thoughtful look, "I also think what she said makes sense... After all, sister, she only knows me, so there is no need to repeatedly persuade you that the blood test is unreliable..."
"In my impression, the third husband ... Sanniang is very good to you, and also to my brother... Although Steward Zhao is also very good to his younger brother, there is no place to overstep. Jin'er stepped forward, her face full of sincerity, "My brother is still too young, if my father is angry, why don't I stay with my brother first, and then when my brother is older, I will find a place for him to go?" ”
Jin'er quietly waited for Wang Ci to think, waiting for him to make a final decision. Although he relented for a while and decided to let Wang Lin go, all this was based on the fact that his position was firm and he would not repeat the mistakes of the past. Wang Ci has always been suspicious, and the things that have already become suspicious will not be resolved by others in a few words. The final destination of Wang Lin depends on his own creation.
Wang Ci stared at his former youngest son for a long time, but he still couldn't convince himself, and in the end he just raised his hand and asked Shen Yashou to take Wang Lin back with him, and then decide where Wang Lin would go finally when he got home.
Once the seeds of doubt have taken root, they are difficult to uproot.
Hearing the expected answer, Jin'er smiled noncommittally. However, Wang Lian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he glanced at Jin'er gratefully, and then hesitated into the house to pack up his small things.
When everything was packed up and the descent began, Jin'er walked at the back of the group, followed by her younger brother Wang Lian.
She felt that her body and mind were incomparably happy, far more comfortable than when she had succeeded in revenge, she stood still, looked into the distance, and bowed to the place where Bai Jian Qiaozhi was.
"Sister?" Wang Lin is only three or two years old, and whoever is good to him will stick to whom. Because Jin'er said good things for him, he was extra sticky to her. Even if Jin'er has been ignoring him. Seeing that Jin'er suddenly stopped her steps and looked at an unknown place, he asked out loud with some doubts.
"Nothing, let's go." Jin'er shook her head, smiled softly at Wang Lian, hesitated, bent down and took his hand.
Love lasts longer than hate, and the passage of time can eliminate hatred, but it cannot completely erase the existence of love.
Wang Lin saw the death of his biological mother and the cruelty of his biological father, but he was still young, and he would always forget everything, forget hatred, and leave love under the washing of time.
The same goes for her.
So, Sister Qiaozhi, you should be relieved, right?
