Chapter 186: Leaving the Pen (3)
These days, I have heard a lot of news about the Xie family, Mrs. Xie is in a hurry because Xie Qi has nothing to do for these years, and she stuffed several girls into his room, one of whom is also angry, so she opened her face and became pregnant with a child.
And Wan Yin's death was another heavy blow, her sister who doted on her the most left, Fang's father and mother were originally focused on Wan Yin's child, and now they are focused on what is behind her, and it is impossible to care about the little daughter.
Wanyu at this time looks very pitiful.
Lan Yi couldn't help but sigh, and turned his head back stiffly, "Chang Jue is also here, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take the carriage back together, you rent a carriage or sedan chair and follow behind." ”
Wanyu was stunned, a trace of joy appeared in her sad eyes, and she answered, and followed Lan Yi to the outside of the Yi Mansion.
On the carriage, Lan Yi didn't speak, Chang Jue was halfway there, he had something to go to the yamen, gently stroked Lan Yi's cheek, said, "Wait for me to come back", and got out of the carriage.
Lan Yi has actually been calming down, and Wan Yin's departure has already left a shadow of doubt in her heart, but at least until now, she has not been able to find out the real reason why Wan Yin chose this path.
In this, it is difficult to see whether the Yi family is playing the role of a "murderer" or just an "accomplice".
When he arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, Lan Yi took Wanyu and walked directly to his house, instructing as he went, "Just leave a Ning Fu outside the door, and the stamen will take care of the yard, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
At this moment, it is the twilight of the sunset, as if everyone is returning from the palace of Prince Gong that day, the sky is still rolling up one after another burning clouds, when looking outside, the light shines out from behind the clouds, it is very good-looking, but into the house, it is inevitable that it is a little dim, and the long sky light obliquely shines in by the window, which brings a sense of loneliness for no reason.
"Sit down." After Lan Yi took his seat, he pointed to the small stool on the side and said calmly, "When you get here, what can you say?" ”
Wanyu didn't sit down as she said, just stood there, trembling and pulling out a folded stack of paper from her sleeve.
"Cousin, before my sister died, she left me a suicide note."
Lan Yi looked at the stack of papers, feeling a little sour in her heart, "She is your own sister, and she should remember you." ”
Wanyu knew this shallow sourness because of the melancholy accumulated in her heart after the separation of life and death, and hurriedly said: "No, no, when I watched it for the first time, I thought that my sister remembered me, or there was something unfinished to ask me, but I didn't think about it, I just read it once, and I felt that something was wrong, and then I read it three or four times, and I became more and more sure." ”
She raised her hand and handed the stack of papers to Lan Yi, "Cousin, take a look." ”
Lan Yi took it calmly, and with Wanyu's reminder, she read it very carefully by the light outside the window, but after reading it again, although she felt that there was something wrong, she couldn't say it, so she just thought about it quietly.
Wanyu looked at her contemplative expression, and said cautiously on the side: "That winter, we made a warm pot in the kitchen of Pei's mansion, and also got some leafy vegetables stored in the warehouse, and ate very happily, but during the banquet, my sister made it clear that she hates eating coriander the most, let's not give it to her, and ......"
Under Wanyu's suggestion, Lan Yi's whole person was in a trance, as if he had returned to that winter.
In her impression, it snowed a lot that year, and the carbon in Pei's Mansion was not enough, which caused Aunt Bai to complain often. And Wanyin has almost no experience of spending the winter in the north, especially likes the snow falling on the rockery in Peifu, looking at the scene, she can stay for a long time, and then sigh with emotion: It's so beautiful.
Lan Yi remembered the snowball fight, and the three of them all laughed very happily, and naturally remembered the warm pot that day, because the three sisters ate it together, so it was particularly fragrant. Lan Yi pouted them to drink together, but after all, they were guests at a relative's house, so it was not good to be so presumptuous, so in the end, only Lan Yi secretly drank a few sips alone.
Probably for this reason, her memory of that period was not as clear as Wanyu, she only remembered that Wanyin really didn't like to eat coriander, and said that this green dish had a strange taste.
Lan Yi's back gave birth to a little cold sweat, and the hand holding the suicide note was also a little tighter.
Wanyu saw her dark eyes looking at her but didn't speak, so she had to continue on her own, "If I'm not mistaken, my sister tasted a mouthful of coriander under our compulsion that day, and she was full of disgust, and even said something like 'If I say I like coriander one day, someone must have put a knife on my neck'." ”
Lan Yi's arm had goosebumps.
She suddenly picked up the suicide note again, turned to the previous page, and read the sentence carefully.
"My husband treats me with all my heart, and since I was pregnant, he has tried every possible way to persuade me to eat more and nourish my body, and always personally cloth vegetables, clear soup and snow fungus, crispy fried crucian carp, coriander mutton...... All kinds of dishes are to my taste, and this heart is precious, but I can't make a difference, so I feel more and more sorry. ”
Wanyu nodded suddenly, "Yes, that's it!" ”
Lan Yi held the hand of the suicide note and slowly put it down, she just looked at Wanyu like this, and Wanyu looked at her like this.
At this moment, the two of them both felt a chilly chill, naturally, since Wanyu had already seen that something was wrong before, this was the second time, and she reacted a little faster.
She ...... She walked this road because someone put a knife on her neck! Cousin, I miss her, I didn't want to die! ”
Lan Yi's mind seemed to have been split into a crack, and these uneven words stuffed this idea into this crack, making her open her mouth, and she could only say, "Sure enough...... Sure enough......"
Sure enough, she felt that the Yi family was strange, and Wanyin's death was strange, and these were not for no reason.
Wanyu didn't notice that her legs were actually a little shaky, probably because she didn't feel able to stand steadily, so she sat on the small stool, "I think so, but cousin, I don't have any evidence, the Yi family in my eyes, my brother-in-law, and my sister's mother-in-law, they are all sad about her death, I don't know what to do, fortunately, my sister wrote in the suicide note, looking forward to me getting back together with you, urging me to come to Prince Gong's Mansion a few more times, and cheekily express her last wishes, I think, what she means by this is to let me come to you." ”
"That's right, if it were her nature, she would never persuade me to accept your apology, let alone remind you to come to Prince Gong's Mansion more."
Lan Yi remembered Wan Yin's position before, she had never made peace between herself and Wan Yu, and couldn't help muttering: "Since she is desperately writing this thing and asking you to get up to find me, it is to explain everything clearly, there is not a word of nonsense in this suicide note, her words are not only to you, but also to me, she must want to remind us of something." ”
Wanyu asked timidly, "Cousin, what exactly does she want to say?" ”
Lan Yi looked at her, not like she was asking her, but as if she was asking herself, "Why does she have something to say, but she can't say it?" Why did she explicitly ask you to come to me, but refused to leave me another suicide note? What exactly did she want to say to me...... But what do you dare not say? ”
It was getting late, Chang Jue had already returned to the house, and sent someone over to urge the meal, of course, it was also to take a look at the situation here, Lan Yi responded, said that he could set the meal, and then got up and personally sent the guests out for the first time.
Wanyu didn't know what the beauty of loss and recovery was, but now she understands it.
Standing by the carriage of Prince Gong's mansion, she said carefully: "It's okay to send someone to Xie Jia's house to say that they can pick me up." ”
Lan Yi said lightly: "I originally wanted to keep you for dinner, but thinking about the relationship between Changjue and you at that time, it was not very suitable, so it was better to send you back first." Later, if you have the opportunity, slowly tie this knot. ”
Wanyu lowered her head and whispered: "Cousin, my sister will not be here in the future, and it is even more inconvenient for me to come to Prince Gong's mansion, so this knot does not have to bother to untie, if there is anything, my cousin will directly ask people to order, and I will try to let people bring words, my cousin is willing to see me, and it is natural for me to run." But I'm sure I won't see my brother-in-law again. ”
Lan Yi was stunned, "You ......"
Wanyu took a step forward and gently tugged at her sleeve, "Cousin, I've had a hard time these days, really hard, you know I never say such things, but when I lie on the bed alone and listen to the wind and rain outside, I will think that in the past, my heart was full because I knew that there were you and my sister by my side." ”
Lan Yi is dark and complicated, in fact, after today's incident, she has forgiven her cousin's finger, after all, no one is perfect, she didn't have the intention of killing, she just made a subconscious wrong decision.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wanyu continued, "It's me who is confused, I was the one who can't live without you the most." But my sister has chosen to leave me, and now I only have you, cousin. ”
As she spoke, tears began to fall, although it was not as loud as the howling in the mourning hall before, but the silent choking made people feel more sincere.
Lan Yi looked at her eyes and knew that she really regretted it.
"Alright, alright, stop crying." She picked up the handkerchief and raised her hand to wipe away her tears a little bit, who knew that the pain in Wanyu's heart was accumulating layer by layer, and she couldn't stop at this time, her whole face cried like a crumpled orange, and she had to endure it desperately, so that the minions next to her would not hear the crying.
Lan Yi was helpless, so she had to stuff the handkerchief directly into her hand and let her wipe it herself.
After a while, Wanyu came to her senses, swollen with a pair of peach-like eyes, and said inarticulately, "My cousin must be laughing at me." ”
Lan Yi shook his head, took the initiative to reach out and take her hand, and at that moment he felt Wanyu tremble.
"The things of the past, a write-off, cousin's last wish is to reconcile us, whether the letter has other meanings or not, let's do it, we can't let her go and go uneasy. And you're really ...... right now," she thought about it, but didn't finish the sentence after all, but said, "Okay, clean up yourself, when you go back, your mother-in-law will be uncomfortable when she sees it." ”
Seeing that she cared about herself, Wanyu tried to bend the corners of her mouth, "I remember, what my cousin said, I have to remember it firmly." ”
Finally sent Wanyu away, Chang Jue had already urged several times, all of them were asking why the princess hadn't come back, and when the door moved, Lan Yi finally came in slowly, and Chang Jue stood up and walked quickly to her side, grabbed his hand and looked up and down.
Lan Yi was blindsided and asked, "What is this?" ”
Chang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm afraid that you will leave me, and you will start crying again, crying will break your liver and intestines, and Mrs. Xie doesn't know what to do with you, although I have people staring at you, I am still afraid that she will make you angry." ”
Lan Yi said helplessly: "Who can be angry with me, it's just that my cousin left too abruptly, which is really sad." ”
Chang Jue also regretted, "My cousin's voice and smile seem to be right in front of me, after so many years of getting along, I am also like her sister." ”
Lan Yi settled down, pulled Changjue to the table, and after sitting down, he sent Ning Fu and Ruihua to watch the door, so that others could not listen, so he said: "My cousin left a suicide note, a very wrong suicide note." ”
She carefully told Changjue everything she knew this afternoon, because the letter was left for Wanyu, and she didn't keep it, but fortunately, every word in it was already very impressive, and she wouldn't miss anything.
Changjue listened very carefully, and the more she went to the back, the more she looked very good-looking, but it happened that at this time, the nurse came over with Xunkang, and Ning Fu came in to report that the child was full, and she asked for a mother's hug.
Chang Jue said with a cold face: "A dignified man, always pestering his mother like something, let the nurse take care of it first." ”
Lan Yi pushed him and rolled his eyes slightly, "Our Dun'er is only a few months old, what kind of dignified man do you say, and our mother and son broke through the ghost gate together, this is because of the blood connection that they want me to hug, really." ”
Seeing that Ning Fu was still stupidly guarding the side, Lan Yi was happy and said kindly: "You tell the nurse to let her take Xunkang outside for a walk, arrange a few more people to follow, make a good lantern, don't bump into it, and children can't stay in the house all the time." When I and His Highness have finished talking about important matters, I will call her in. ”
Ning Fu took the order and left, and Lan Yi's face here was full of sadness, "So my cousin's death is very complicated, I don't know if it's all because of me, but what she wants to say to me through the suicide note and Wanyu's mouth is certain." Changjue, did you say that people will have the next life, I always have to return this great favor to her, she is such a good, such a gentle person......"
Changjue hugged her and comforted her softly, "How can life be completely without regrets, it is always after passing through to know what the future is, not to mention whether there is an afterlife to repay it, first understand what she wants to tell us in front of her eyes, which is the greatest comfort to her." ”
Lan Yi tried to pull himself together, "Exactly. We don't know what happened in Yifu, but with what is in front of us, we can already see that my cousin is limited, and she must have had no way out in that environment, so she died like this. ”
