The little girl wears a rather luxurious narrow-sleeved blouse, and her small face has the roundness of a child. Wang Ge Lao did not treat her badly, at least not in terms of food and clothing. Her straight, silky black hair hung down to her back, almost to her waist, and it looked like no one had taken care of her for a long time. As she glared at Wang Ge Lao angrily, her long hair swayed around the little girl's slender waist, obviously she was a cute girl, but because of her almost emotionless eyes, others were discouraged, her slightly pointed chin was slightly raised, her expression was extremely indifferent, and she seemed to be unapproachable. It's also protecting yourself

The old butler was suddenly caught in the middle, and he was in a dilemma, which made him even more embarrassed. Seeing this, Chen Lihua hurriedly spoke to ease the atmosphere: "If Elder Xu is fine, it is better to leave first." ”

Steward Xu hurriedly said goodbye, and did not forget to say: "Your Highness, the old grievances are not easy to explain in detail for a while, if you want to know further, I hope you will find the master in person, don't believe the words of other people's families, and have a gap with the master." ”

The housekeeper apologized again and again and left, leaving Chen Lihua and the little girl staring at each other. Chen Lihua showed a harmless smile from humans and animals, like a spring breeze, refreshing people's hearts. This amiable smile has helped her win the trust and goodwill of countless people before. I believe this time will be no exception.

"Bad woman, why are you smiling so lewdly at me?" It's a pity that the little girl didn't appreciate it, and the fierce appearance was even more cute.

Chen Lihua broke the gong in an instant, her smile froze, and she opened her mouth speechlessly. What a nice little girl, it's still cute without opening her mouth. She reluctantly asked:

"Why am I a bad woman?"

"You're with a bad grandfather, aren't you a bad woman?"

"Why do you say that Steward Xu is a bad person? Have you ever seen him do something nasty? ”

"Are you stupid? Have I ever seen that I can still stay here? Wasn't it destroyed and wiped out sooner? The little girl sneered, her mouth vicious.

"After his royal son slept with my mother, he ran away, and he didn't admit it, which caused my mother to die. Is it a bad guy? "The little girl has an unconcealable hatred on her face." It's so nice to say, my mother has waited for him for so long, endured countless gossip, and she always believes that he will come back, but what about him? Unrepentant and unconfessed, is he a bad person? ”

"Then these guys are in cahoots with bad guys, one hill, one dog, and one go, are they bad guys?"

"Do you know what my mother's last words were? She said, she said, she said, "

The little girl's eyes were red and she tried to keep her composure, not knowing that she had burst into tears.

"My mother is leaving, I am gone, I will no longer ruin the reputation of others, you go over, live a good life, don't resent your father, be a happy girl, find a good person to marry in the future, and my mother will be at ease." If they don't want to accept you and only give you a sum of money, you can come back quickly, find the owner of the village, and give her the money, and she will keep you growing up safely. ”

When it comes to the depths of love, it is already a roar of anger.

"My mother stayed there, living like that, waiting for someone who she knew she wouldn't come back. In the end, I traded my life for a chance to enter the palace, but how can I enjoy all this with peace of mind? Let me not hate him, how could I do it! ”

The little girl had obviously held back for a long time, big tears welling up from her eyes, and she didn't know when it had been the last time she had confided in her, or perhaps, she had never had a chance to tell anyone else.

"That's why you're here protesting?" It does sound sympathetic, but from the perspective of the Wang family, in fact, what they have done is benevolent enough, Chen Lihua frowned and said: "But have you ever thought about how this matter will damage the reputation of the palace once it is announced?" ”

To a certain extent, she felt that the Wang family had done a good enough job, at least she was willing to take her back, instead of giving her a sum of money to let her get out of the house early. Through the door, you can see an oil lamp and many books, which is even more valuable.

It's already good to be able to raise her according to the specifications of a concubine, Chen Lihua feels that even ordinary concubines don't have this kind of treatment. If accepting a prostitute as a concubine can barely be regarded as a scholar's romance, then you let a well-known poet and scholar suddenly announce that his son had an illegitimate daughter more than ten years ago? Give another name to a woman in a green house who has died?

It may not be a big deal, and it will pass in a few days in the official circle of the capital, but this will undoubtedly ruin the hope of the palace for decades. What does this make Wang Gelao, who has paid attention to his reputation all his life, think?

The little girl bowed her head and said:

"I ...... I'm just trying to give my mother a name. My mother has been waiting for that bad guy for so long, isn't what she asks for a name? ”

"That's my mother...... The people closest to me in the world ......"

"That's why I said, you're just like them, you're all bad people." As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Chen Lihua felt a little irritable inexplicably, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Wang Ge Lao did, but it was difficult for her to blame the little girl, her mother had paid so much for her, and she just wanted to fulfill the wish of her deceased mother. Is the little girl asking too much? Does she have to be grateful to Dade for the Wang family's willingness to raise her?

All right? So why did things get so stiff? Somehow, she remembered Su Qingyun who collapsed that day.

, this twisted world.

The little girl cried and cried and stopped crying, after so many years, she has recognized the reality, but she just refuses to face it.

"Distorted? Twist a fart. Liu Muyang floated over leisurely and pointed out the problem. Why do you start from the perspective of a little girl, talking about morality, and from Wang Gelao, you are talking about interests? When is it forgivable to eat dry and wipe clean and not admit it? ”

"But it's unrealistic to let the Wang family sacrifice so much." Chen Lihua is not.

"That's because no one wants to be punished, shouldn't there be such a punishment? If you have done something wrong, you must stand up when you are beaten. It's because they are your brother's father-in-law's family, and you subconsciously want to be close, so you feel that the price of ruining their family's reputation is too great. Besides, is it still a big deal to travel with prostitutes these days? The Wang family just relied on their own family power to cover it. To put it bluntly, if you don't sit properly on your ass, you won't get the right answer. ”

Liu Muyang's words were hard to listen to, Chen Lihua's face turned red and white, but she had to admit that she suppressed her anger and that this time it was still the system that was reasonable. She snorted fiercely, said nothing, and turned away, leaving the little girl alone there for no apparent reason. This big sister first thought of a way to bow her head like those maids, but she didn't have the people who could speak well, and she was stunned for a while and left by herself, which was really scary. She sniffled and whimpered in a low voice:

"It's all bad guys......"

That night, it was pouring rain, Chen Lihua was about to turn off the lights, and there was a knock on the door.

She put on her coat and opened the door to see that it was the slightly embarrassed third brother Chen Dao, the rain ran down his hair, wetting the collar, the third brother who always led the coquettish in the past, wearing a coat and a poncho, was more like a homeless person with nowhere to escape, looking at her pitifully. Chen Lihua couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Brother Huang, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't I promise you before, when you come back, I will arrange for you to enter the palace to visit your father? It wasn't Wang Ge Lao who informed me, so I rushed over. Chen Dao showed an innocent smile that was different from the past, and he looked even more like an outcast.

Chen Lihua was a little moved, took out a handkerchief, and wanted to brush the wet ends of his hair for him: "It's so late, and it's raining so heavily, isn't it the same if you wait for the weather to come back?" ”

Chen Dao suddenly saw Chen Lihua's gentle side, took a step back, a little at a loss, and stammered: "No, it's different." He muttered in a low voice: "I promised you to let you go back to visit my father as soon as possible." ”

"What?" Chen Lihua didn't hear it and asked.

"No, nothing." Chen Dao just unintentionally talked to himself, and when he saw that Chen Lihua heard it, he subconsciously panicked.

"Oh." Chen Lihua saw that he didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to force it, but the atmosphere inevitably changed from the warmth just now to stiffness.

"It's raining so hard that it won't last long, but tomorrow it will probably be clear, so you get up early, and a carriage will come and pick you up at about nine o'clock in the morning." Chen Dao saw that Chen Lihua didn't say a word, so he hurriedly got down to business. "Tonight the rain is stormy, I won't disturb you to rest, the autumn wind is cold at night, remember to cover the quilt at night." After that, I don't forget to tell again:

"Tomorrow you must remember to wake up early. Don't make a mistake. Chen Lihua smiled and said:

"Got it, Brother Huang, I'm not a child anymore."

Chen Dao touched his head and smiled, and hurried into the rain with his hat.

Looking at his back with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Chen Lihua laughed twice, feeling a little funny, from the back, the third brother is not a toned body, I have never heard of him practicing martial arts every day like his second emperor brother, today, the already fat body is covered with a layer of robes, even more bloated, the slanting rain is like a needle, and it slammed on the fat man who was swaying from side to side under the coercion of the wind, like a boat swaying in the bathtub. It's really hard to imagine what the pavilion master has taken a fancy to him, and she only began to believe it at this moment, maybe it was what the two of them said, naked interests.

"There is no real love in the world." She suddenly heard Liu Muyang's categorical judgment again, and turned her head to see that the system had fallen asleep on the table, and her hands were still pressed with various drafts such as "Report on the Possibility of Movable Type Printing in the Great Jin Dynasty", "The Manufacturing and Upgrading of Ink", and "A Guide to the Reading Taste of the Ancients". It turned out to be just an auditory hallucination, she struggled to put him back on the charging pile, watched the green icon light up, and then put her mind at ease and whispered, "Good night." ”

The Pavilion is vast and empty, with only its own echoes.
