"Girl, I know you won't be able to accept it for a while." Bai Xiaoniang's voice trembled and said, "People are about to die, and their words are good, I really don't need to deceive the girl anymore." ”

"You!" Hai An was surprised, but he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, it could be seen that Bai Xiaoniang was just silent, and at this moment, Bai Xiaoniang's dodging eyes made her feel that she was not far from ten, and she didn't know how to face it.

"Miss Hai'an, my life is not worth it. At that time, the lord had come to my white mansion to have a banquet, the lord was only a civil and prose official from the third grade, although he was young, and relied on the shadow of the family, but the lord was already ambitious at that time, and his words and deeds showed his talent, I still remember that my father said at that time, the lord should be the master of the great instrument, I was still young at that time, I didn't understand the meaning, only secretly paid attention to this person. Bai Xiaoniang recalled the events of many years ago, and her eyes were full of hazy longing, "It's also wonderful, when I first met the lord, I was also in the Zen temple." ”

"At that time, I was still in the boudoir, but I just took the house to let off the house by burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, but who knew that I bumped into your father, how handsome he looked, just a glance from a distance, it was enough for me to give him all my lovesickness."

Haian didn't say a word, just listened quietly to the story of her father and her.

"After returning home, as soon as I inquired, I learned that this was the hot prime minister of the dynasty, who was young, but he was a high authority, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, and he was at ease in a position below one person and above ten thousand people. Later, within a few days, my father returned home with a full of sorrow, and said to me that the saint was afraid of the strength of the prime minister of the fish, and wanted to marry the girl of my family to him, and from time to time he sent some news to his father, so that my father and Yufu could shackle each other, and I was the only girl of the right age. ”

"I agreed, and my father never knew that I had already been infatuated with him. Baifu began to be busy preparing my dowry, but my father and mother, but I have been worried, I dare not ask, thinking that they are just because of their daughter out of the cabinet and melancholy, but only carefully comforted, the days passed, but I did not see the Yufu to hire, this is a little worried, ran to ask the parents to know, and the house has been hiding from me, it turned out that the prime minister of the fish had already married a wife, the saint just gave me to be a small in the past. ”

"It must be false to say that I am not lost, but I felt that in the day, even if I was a concubine, I admitted it, it was better than marrying someone I didn't like, and since it was a holy marriage, then he would definitely not save face on the saint, and he would treat me well. But what I didn't expect was that I chose the wrong path, a big mistake. On the day I left the pavilion, when the sedan chair arrived at Yufu, I saw the sister of the Mu family who entered the house on the same day, and my father told me before that the girl of the Mu family who married into Yufu with me had the most gentle character and got along with her. ”

"We entered this fish mansion like this, on the day of the wedding, I waited all night with a fan, the lord did not come, I thought that the lord went to the sister of the Mu family, but who knows, the lord did not see anyone, and still rested in the house of the lady Yu. On the second day, when I was serving tea to the eldest lady, I saw the eyes of the lord looking at the eldest lady, so gentle and envious. I was just thinking, it's okay, I'll wait, the Lord will see me one day. ”

Bai Xiaoniang didn't continue, her voice weakened, and her throat was a little choked.

I heard a second thunder outside the window, but the rain didn't fall for a long time.

Mrs. Li leaned on Hai'an's ear and whispered: "Girl, no matter what, if you still want to keep this child, you must give birth now." ”

Haian nodded, acquiescing, and wanted to turn away.

Mrs. Li walked to the end of the bed, cleaned her hands with boiling water, took out a knife, rolled it with hot water, and then took out a sharp one, only to hear a muffled sound of "bang", it was the sound of a sharp knife piercing the skin, Bai Xiaoniang shouted in pain, and her abdomen seemed to have been cut with a long knife edge.

But who knows, Bai Xiaoniang suddenly said: "Wait! I've been waiting for twelve years! ”

Hai settled down and turned around to look at Bai Xiaoniang, who was like a crazy demon, holding the bed with both hands, biting her lips hard with her teeth, and her face was weird.

Haian could see that she wanted to save the child.

"Girl, stay with me, okay?" Bai Xiaoniang pleaded in a weak voice, and added, "Girl, can you look at me a few more times?" ”

Hai An was submissive, but didn't understand what she meant.

"The girl's eyes are beautiful, like the lord." Bai Xiaoniang suddenly laughed, Hai'an only felt pitiful for her.

"I'll finish telling the girl this story."

"I stay in this courtyard every day, and although the lord treats me with good food and drink, I actually don't see him a few times a year, and it's only at the banquet. The big lady gave birth to you, everyone likes you very much, and the lord is even more happy, he loves you very much, and even after listening to the words of the Taoist priest, he still loves you when he changes his name and surname. Later, the fish lady was pregnant again, I was really sad, so I went to the Zen temple to pray for blessings, who knew that I met the living Buddha. ”

"The living Buddha only enlightened me at first, and I always went there often, thinking that he was pure, and later, what he said became more and more crazy, and I don't know how to believe in his evil, and in order to get a child of my own, I couldn't care much about it."

"Following the instructions of Guanyin, I took my maidservants with me that day, and let them change their clothes in the temple, secretly Chen Cang, and brought the living Buddha into the fish house." Bai Xiaoniang's stomach was already under Mrs. Li's knife at this time, and she opened her mouth, seeing that Mrs. Li could take out the child, Bai Xiaoniang stared at the movements in Mrs. Li's hand, and said, "The girl should guess what happened later." ”

Hai'an shook, and for a moment it seemed like a root under his feet, and he couldn't move.

"You mean..." Haian muttered.

"Yes, that living Buddha, forced your mother, it's also strange that the male fetus that has been looked at by countless doctors has fallen into a woman's body."

Mrs. Li took out the child, but the child was silent.

Bai Xiaoniang thought that everything was over, but it turned out that the child couldn't be saved in the end, and she cried loudly.

"In my life, I can't forgive myself, the lord's later favor, I can see that it is my own retribution, night after night, the lord will force me, the lord has never had love in his eyes, and even, he doesn't even like it, only compassion." Bai Xiaoniang said the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, "I seem to feel the pain of the eldest lady, and it is all my fault, so this is my punishment." ”

Hai An didn't want to listen anymore, only to see Mrs. Li gently pressing the newborn's chest, secretly praying that the child's heart could beat again, Hai An didn't want to have these lives on his hands.

A gust of evil wind blew in from the window, Bai Xiaoniang shivered coldly, her lips were purple, and the bedding on her lower body was soaked in blood, Hai An knew that this was the last moment of her life.

Thunder in the clouds.

Almost as soon as the third thunder sounded, the child in Mrs. Li's arms suddenly burst into tears.

The rain outside the window fell in an instant.

Bai Xiaoniang's body stiffened, a smile squeezed into the corner of her mouth, she glanced at the child gently, and closed her eyes forever.

Hai'an asked Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li, is it a younger brother or a younger sister?" ”

"It's a sister." Mrs. Li happily wrapped the swaddling clothes for the third sister and hugged her to see Hai'an.

When Hai'an and the child looked at each other, the third sister stopped crying, and for the first time, laughed.
