Chapter 166: Such a Reunion
Xiao Qinglan, this is Xiao Zheng's only sister in this world, and it is also the family member he once depended on. If it weren't for Zhong Shiwei's framing more than ten years ago, maybe their current life trajectories would be completely different.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Being able to meet Qinglan may be Xiao Zheng's greatest wish after the child was lost. It's a pity that the stubborn Qinglan didn't give him this opportunity.
How many times, only through that layer of windows, Xiao Zheng seemed to be able to see Qinglan's hazy figure in the window, and he also believed that Qinglan must also be able to see his brother standing outside, but the stubborn sister never got out of the door, and finally failed to welcome his brother into the door.
How many times, Xiao Zheng dreamed of frolicking with Qinglan when he was a child in his dreams. At that time, he was her most beloved brother, and she was his sister who always had innocence in his eyes...... They used to be so respectful and loving each other, and they used to be so seamless with each other...... Every time he dreams of the scene of the year, Xiao Zheng regrets that he woke up, if that can come true, he would rather be drunk in such a gentle country.
Being able to meet his sister in his lifetime has become Xiao Zheng's greatest luxury.
But everything was so caught off guard, at this moment, Qinglan, the person who called Xiao Zheng was so worried that he was so worried that he blamed himself was standing in front of him like that, Xiao Zheng doubted his eyes, and he couldn't believe that he was dreaming. But when his eyes met Qinglan's resentful gaze, Xiao Zheng trembled suddenly, he had seen such a gaze before. Just more than ten years ago, I thought I wouldn't remember such a thing, but today, when I look at each other again, the past is so vivid, and the eyes are so clear!
Yes, that was after Lan Hongda threw away Qinglan's child...... Xiao Zheng knew that Qinglan didn't come to him to catch up, she came to take revenge on him!
The once smart and watery eyes have added the scars of the years, and the innocent face has been covered with the wind and frost of the years, although it is still pretty, it can't hide the sadness that is full of sadness. The white hair exposed at the sideburns, shining with the sun's rays, burned Xiao Zheng's eyes. Dressed in coarse cloth clothes, a weak body, at that moment, Xiao Zheng's tears couldn't stop flowing.
Yes, Qinglan came to Mo Huitou in the morning. It wasn't the rumors that blew into her dilapidated courtyard, it was the angry Liu Yue'e who went to find her.
Although I don't know what Liu Yue'e said to Qinglan at that time, judging from the current situation, she must have known the news. Qinglan didn't go to Lan Hongda, but made a special trip to find Xiao Zheng! She knew that it must have something to do with his return!
When Fluttershy didn't look back, she was very puzzled when she saw Qinglan coming in, she stepped forward to ask, Qinglan's desperate eyes gave her a fierce blow, and her cold voice told her that she was looking for Xiao Zheng here, and told him to come out to see her immediately!
Fluttershy had never seen anything in the market, but after coming to Mo for so long, she was well organized inside and out, and she had seen a lot of customers and dignitaries, but she had never seen someone so intimidating! She's just a rough-dressed woman, but why, she's so able to shake Fluttershy's heart!
Fluttershy went to tell Xiao Zheng without a moment's delay, and he was thinking about how to find a perfect solution to save Lan Yi, and when Xiao Zheng came out hesitantly adhering to the purpose of not waiting for a guest, he was completely stunned.
In order not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, Xiao Zheng invited Qinglan to his study, and the stubborn Qinglan was still standing in the ground, and Feng Yao, Nanfeng and Fluttershy, who had already been informed, stood aside with bated breath. Feng Yao knew Qinglan, but unfortunately she had never seen her true face, to know that the person in front of her should be called her aunt, maybe she wouldn't have fantasized about the ambiguous relationship between this woman and her father, let alone whether she was the mother they had never met.
Feng Yao seemed to have temporarily paralyzed her painful nerves, she looked at Nanfeng, he just smiled bitterly, and shook his head helplessly.
"Green ...... Lan ......" Xiao Zheng's voice trembled, and suddenly made the three young people standing on the side tremble, especially Feng Yao, although she had not seen Qinglan's true face, but she knew this name, Xiao Fluttershy and Nanfeng were naturally no exception, the pupils of the three young people unconsciously widened, surprised, delighted, guilty, all kinds of complicated tastes impacted the three young people and also impacted Xiao Zheng himself. Feng Yao almost ran to Qinglan's side, hugged her, and shouted, "Auntie!" But Feng Yao couldn't help it, not because her willpower was too strong, but because she was deeply sealed by Qinglan's aura, she didn't dare to step forward!
The woman in front of them is how many times they have peeped and hope to see it, it is Lan Yi's mother, Xiao Zheng's own sister, and the three of them...... Aunt!
It's a pity that Xiao Zheng's voice didn't bring any warmth to Qinglan, she looked at Xiao Zheng with cold eyes, and then looked back at the three young people behind her, "I think there are some things that I need to talk to you alone, are you sure it's appropriate to call these juniors here?" ”
"Qinglan...... We haven't seen each other in years, and these are my children...... The children...... They had long wanted to meet their aunt......" Xiao Zheng was a little incoherent with excitement, perhaps at a loss for what to do.
Qinglan sneered, "No need! ”
The three words were like three cold nails that pierced deep into the hearts of the three people, but no one would blame them for their ruthless aunt.
"Aunt is above, please be worshiped by the juniors!" Ignoring Qinglan's "resoluteness", Feng Yao Nanfeng Xiaodie and the three of them knelt on the ground as if they had been arranged in advance, and kowtowed without saying anything, the crisp voice surrounded the study layer by layer, no matter how ruthless Qinglan was, Xiao Zheng still saw the pimple on her brow slightly wrinkled.
She looked helplessly at the three people kneeling on the ground, "I came today to talk to your father alone, you better go out and avoid it first." This seems to be the most polite way Qinglan can do, her tone is cold, and there is no room for negotiation.
The three of them looked at each other, and then looked at Xiao Zheng, it seemed that the mission of the three of them had finally been completed, and the rest was time for Xiao Zheng to face!
When Feng Yao finally closed the door of the study half-closed, only Xiao Zheng and Qinglan were left in the study. Looking at each other, one full of affection and the other full of anger, such a meeting is destined to have no harmonious atmosphere. "Years ago, you caused me to lose my daughter...... More than ten years later, you came back and troubled my only son! Xiao Zheng, why are you so ruthless? After all, stubbornness was no match for the tears in his eyes, which slowly left along Qinglan's cheeks, and a clear mark was passed. The shining tear trough pierced Xiao Zheng's heart.
In the face of Qinglan's accusations, he was powerless to refute, let alone know how to refute them. He knew that she was a smart person, and although she had been isolated from the world for so many years, there had never been a moment when she was truly liberated.
Xiao Zheng felt pain, unspeakable pain all over his body, and he looked at Qinglan with tearful eyes, full of distress. After more than ten years of ten lights and more than ten years of practice, Xiao Zheng can fully feel Qinglan's suffering, and she is also a victim. Nothing is more devastating to a mother than the loss of a child.
"Qinglan, don't be sad, don't be sad, and don't easily listen to other people's rumors. Something is wrong with Yi'er now, but if you believe me, I will definitely find a way to ......"
"You want to do it? What can you do? Can you see the sky with your hands and eyes? Or can you change the decrees of the imperial court? For so many years, I have stayed away from you, avoiding you, and I just want to get rid of you! Don't you understand? But why are you pestering again and again? Qinglan's tears were like beads with broken threads, passing across her slightly wrinkled face.
"Qinglan! You're my sister! I'm worried about your life, and I'm worried about how you're doing! I wish you were as happy as you used to be! ”
"Happy? Do you think I'm happy like this now? You haven't been in the capital for so many years, although my heart will hurt, but I still have at least one hope for Yi'er...... Right now...... Do you think I'll ever be happy? "Despair, utter despair, that death's question is so unanswerable that Xiao Zheng can't answer!
yes, is that what he was meant to do?
"Qinglan, listen to me, I promise you like you, Yi'er will be fine......"
"Guaranteed? What guarantee do you use? Qinglan said a word, Xiao Zheng was stunned. Yes, with what guarantees does he use? What can he guarantee with that? How much could he still believe his assurances to her?
"What? Stopped talking? Qinglan sneered, and Xiao Zheng was embarrassed.
"I ...... I'm sorry for you......" Xiao Zheng's voice trembled, perhaps he didn't realize it himself, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"I'm sorry...... Don't you think this sentence is too light? For so many years, I sent the Buddha with all my heart, and the Buddha said to tell me to let go, to be generous, to forgive, and to redeem...... I'm trying to do all of this myself. Originally, I thought I could do it after so many years. But just now, when I knew that Lan Yi had been framed and imprisoned, my heart began to feel violently uneasy and crazy, and I even forgot the calm and forbearance that the Buddha taught me. What makes it even more unacceptable to me is that when I learned that all this was related to you, I lost my mind even more. I admit that after so many years of Buddhist scriptures, I am considered a white song, and I am not worthy of being a qualified disciple. Qinglan said, approaching Xiao Zheng step by step.
