Chapter 112: Resolute
Rong Chuan's eyelids were still drooping, and he said with a dull head: "Sit." ”
Rong Changning sat on the opposite side in response, and when he saw Rong Chuan's eyes, he didn't raise his eyes, and asked with concern: "Father, is this a head disease?" ”
"No, you just came to say hello, I'm ...... Speaking ......of this, Rong Chuan was a little speechless, Rong Changning sat quietly, picked up the tea cup handed by the maid and waited for his father to continue,
In the end, Rong Chuan still couldn't speak, so Rong Changning could only ask first: "I heard that the Xu family entered the ancestral hall?" ”
Only then did Rong Chuan react, Xu Yunqiao's sudden confession was really unreasonable. And she was so angry that she didn't even think about why she acted like this.
looked at Rong Changning, who was calm in front of him, and suddenly realized: "Have you seen the Xu family before?" ”
Rong Changning nodded, and did not deny it: "Yes." ”
"You forced her to tell everything?"
"Yes."
"You already knew everything about your mother?"
"Nature."
The father and daughter looked at each other, no one said a word, the dead silence in the room was still full of Rong Chuan's disbelief and panic, he looked at Rong Changning and nodded: "You are really a child with ideas." How did you persecute her? ”
"It doesn't matter." Rong Changning leaned forward slightly, and asked softly, "Father, now, do you regret it?" ”
“……”
"My daughter wants to hear what her father plans to do with the Xu family."
Rong Chuan raised his eyes to look at Rong Changning, but he couldn't see through her more and more: "What do you want?" ”
"Give death." Rong Changning lowered his eyes and looked at the brown, and said such a cool sentence: "Father did it himself." ”
"What?" Rong Chuan obviously didn't believe his ears: "You want me to ......"
"Murdering the imperial family is a big crime, whether it is for our Hou Mansion or more than 100 people in Hengliang's hometown, it is not a good thing. I am my mother's daughter and the daughter of the Rong family, so I also care about the whole family. I think that my mother is in the spirit of heaven, for the sake of Ah Ruo, she can also accept such a result. The Xu family was brought back to the Hou Mansion by his father, so naturally his father had to do it. It can be regarded as an explanation to my mother. ”
Rong Chuan held the desk and hung his head silently: "In the end, I'm sorry for your mother." ”
"No one is gone, what's the use of my father saying this? The daughter thought about it for her father, and when the time came, she said to the public that Xu Yunqiao was crazy and wanted to be sent outside the city to recuperate, and then died violently. ”
The raindrops knocked on the eaves, and at the same time knocked on Rong Chuan's heart, and he said with a little embarrassment: "After all, she ...... After all, he also gave birth to a boy for the Rong family. How could I be so ruthless? ”
Rong Changning didn't raise his head, but chuckled: "Isn't my father ruthless?" I just said that I was ashamed of my mother, and now I actually pity the murderer who murdered her. Isn't that too shameless? ”
"You have to say so badly?"
"It's something that annoys you anyway. I've done a lot of it, and it's not bad for this one. Whether the father does it himself or the saint does it, the father chooses by himself, I listen to you. ”
"You're forcing me?"
"If you are afraid of seeing blood stain your eyes, or if you don't have the strength to do so, your daughter will prepare medicine for you. As long as I watch you personally pour into Xu's mouth, I will never mention everything in the past, and our family will live our lives in a daze. ”
After that, Rong Changning raised his hand to take the medicine bottle handed by Xiao Dong and put it on the case and pushed it in front of Rong Chuan, with a firm expression and refused to back down. The more unwilling Rong Chuan was, the more Rong Changning wanted to force him to do so.
Who called the man in front of him his father? But even if he doesn't want his life, Rong Changning wants him to taste his mother's pain, even if it is one thousandth, Rong Changning will not let it go.
"You are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, how can you be so decisive in doing things?"
"It was Xu Yunqiao who put the Hou Mansion in right and wrong, and my father shouldn't say that I was decided. Besides, my father taught me well. ”
Rong Changning's words almost made Rong Chuan angry, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, for the safety of the whole family, he could only nod: "Okay, I'll do it myself." ”
Hearing such a reply, Rong Changning nodded with satisfaction: "The old mansion in Hengliang has been vacant for many years, and there is no one to serve in front of the ancestors, so it is better to wait for Yu'er to heal and ask Yu'er to go." ”
"You want to get rid of Yu'er too?"
"What did my father say? Sooner or later, your title will be inherited by Ah Ruo, and Yu'er is simple-minded, even if she stays in the imperial city, she will not be very happy. There are still old houses and shops in Hengliang, with thousands of acres of fertile land, which is enough for the rest of his life. Could it be that his father felt that he had wronged him by sending him away? ”
"Yes...... He's only twelve, or a few more years? ”
Rong Changning didn't answer, just looked at Rong Chuan and waited for a reply. And her resolute appearance did not seem to be improvised, Rong Chuan looked at her with empty eyes: "Have you already made a plan?" ”
"Yes."
"Good...... Then it's up to you. Rong Chuan sat down on the cushion and replied weakly: "It's all up to you." "Love you eBook
After Xu left, the backyard was empty. I heard that my father raised a lot of outer rooms, one of which was Jiang, and gave birth to a daughter named Rong Chu. The daughter inquired, Jiang's temperament is gentle and self-controlled, and Rong is almost six years old, so it is not suitable to raise it outside. If the father thinks it's okay, he will take the Jiang family back to the house to raise it, in the end, it is the daughter of the Rong family, and it is better to marry in the name of the daughter of the Hou Mansion in the future than a wild girl who has no name and no points. With the Jiang family by her father's side, her daughter will not be too worried after she gets married. For the rest, the daughter will send the imperial city for her father. ”
Rong Chuan listened, and only nodded: "It's up to you." ”
"The Xu family is deeply sinful, even if they have a son, they can't enter the genealogy after their death, let alone dirty the ancestral grave. Just send it to the western suburbs to be buried. ”
At this moment, Rong Chuan didn't have the confidence to refute anything, and only left one sentence: "You have the final say." ”
"Alright, let's go."
Rong Chuan raised his eyes: "Where are you going?" ”
The thin lips opened slightly, reminding Rong Chuan: "Ancestral hall." ”
After all, it is a debt that cannot be escaped, and since it is the fruit of one's own planting, it is natural for oneself to be ended. Rong Chuan raised his hand and paused, but in the end he still took the medicine bottle that Rong Changning had prepared in advance.
Rong Ruo was still studying under the watchful eye of the eldest sister in the Lan Courtyard, Rong Yu was still lying on the bed and drowsy, and the Hou Mansion was quiet as if nothing had happened.
At night, the maid in charge of the lamp in the house lit up the white candle on the incense table in the ancestral hall. The dim light shone on Xu Yunqiao's pale little face, and she knelt here, silently counting the hours, quietly waiting for death.
The maid exited the door, and there was another dead silence.
It didn't take long for her to hear steady, slow footsteps. Even if he didn't see anyone, Xu Yunqiao could hear that it was Rong Chuan's footsteps.
If in the past, she would have pounced on it with joy, but in the end, it was not what it used to be, and the imminence of death could only make her heart more uneasy. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I can't let go of the glory of the sick bed at the moment.
The door was pushed open, and the house slave came in and pressed her to the ground, and as soon as he raised his eyes to see Rong Chuan, he couldn't help but pinch her face, and without waiting for her to speak and shout, the earthy brown decoction poured down his mouth all night.
Xu Yunqiao was instinctively scared, hiding and struggling, and the decoction was sprinkled on his face and clothes. She whimpered and wanted to shout, but Rong Chuan didn't dare to listen, so she poured down the decoction and threw the bowl on the ground casually.
Let go, turn around and leave. For her who was so vicious, Rong Chuan no longer had a trace of tenderness and pity, and he didn't even leave a trace of his eyes, and simply left.
Rong Changning watched indifferently as Xu Yunqiao was thrown on the ground and coughed for a long time, silently waiting for her to come back to her senses and see herself.
At this time, the hatred in Rong Changning's heart dissipated.
Xu Yunqiao calmed down and didn't care if Rong Changning was here, he got up and staggered to the door, shouting at Rong Chuan's back: "Master Hou!" Take care of your children! ”
Rong Changning softened his eyebrows, and shook his head a little helplessly: "Don't shout, my father has already gone away, even if I hear it, I guess I don't want to pay attention to you, a selfish and vicious woman who doesn't even let go of his own daughter." But don't worry, I'll take care of you for you. ”
Hearing Rong Changning say this, Xu Yunqiao turned his head sharply and stared at her with round eyes: "You said that you would let Yu'er go, I did what you wanted me to do, if you break your promise, even if you become a ghost, I won't let you go!" ”
Rong Changning hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, squatted in front of Xu Yunqiao, picked up his silk handkerchief and wiped the blood stains flowing from the corners of Xu Yunqiao's mouth: "You did a good job, and I am also very satisfied." Waiting for Rong Yu to recover, I will send someone to send her back to her hometown in Hengliang. ”
"What?"
"I said, the field shops in Hengliang's hometown, including the old house, are all honored. When he recovers, I will send someone to take him back. ”
"How do you ...... How can you send him out of the Imperial City?! Xu Yunqiao reached out to grab Rong Changning's clothes, Rong Changning didn't hide, let her pull her by the collar and pull herself in front of her: "He is only twelve years old, how can you let him go back to Hengliang alone?!" You're vicious! Rong Changning, you are the most vicious one! ”
"Say whatever you want."
"Rong Changning! You can't do this! ”
Rong Changning took Xu Yunqiao's hand through the handkerchief, stood up and looked at her condescendingly as a mouthful of blood came out, curled up on the ground and kept twitching, with fine sweat on his forehead.
The abdominal pain is like a knife, the burning is like an intestinal puncture, and the numbness is cold like snow, Xu Yunqiao was tortured by such pain for a stick of incense, and Rong Changning stood here to watch the time of a stick of incense.
In the end, she lost her breath and stared at Rong Changning without a blind eye.
Rong Changning picked up the handkerchief in his hand and wiped the blood stains on his shirt, threw the silk handkerchief out casually, and put Xu Yunqiao's eyes on it impartially.
turned around and brushed his sleeves away, leaving only one sentence: "Tell someone to clean up." ”
Hou's mother-in-law at the door didn't dare to look at Xu Yunqiao's tragic situation, and replied with a sullen head: "Yes." ”
The rain stopped and the clouds dispersed, and the scattered stars in the sky finally took a step, Rong Changning stood at the door of the ancestral hall and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked back at Xiaodong and Aunt Lin and said, "It's over." ”
Aunt Lin lowered her head and replied, "Miss can sit back and relax." ”
Looking back at the person who died on the door frame, Rong Changning's heart was mixed, and he couldn't tell what he felt, the only thing that was clear was that the stone in his heart was finally broken.
The scent of grass under his feet diffuses the unique fragrance after the rain, and the rain on the stone pavement has not yet dried. Rong Changning walked slowly towards the courtyard, and laughed as he walked, and his eyes turned red when he smiled.
That's a kind of relief from the bottom of my heart.
Another month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival is the mother's death day. Two years have passed in such a hurry. What happened, Rong Changning can't remember it all clearly.
