Chapter 102: Deep Scheming (3)
Aunt Li looked at Lan Yi, Lan Yi also looked at Aunt Li like this, Ning Fu was on the sidelines, for fear that the other party's dog would jump off the wall and hurt the master.
The room was eerily quiet, and Lan Yi knew that they were all gambling.
Aunt Li gambled that Lan had a conscience and would not really force her younger brother to that point; Lan Yi bet that Aunt Li would not dare to joke about the future of her own flesh and blood, and would bow her head and confess.
Suddenly a light burst out, and the flickering light made the faces of the three people unreal, Ning Fu couldn't help it, and suddenly said, "Auntie, don't you know what kind of person Miss is?" Treat her well, she will definitely repay her, but if she treats her badly, she never shows mercy, do you really think that with two lives on her body, can she let go of the second son? According to one life for one life, the second son should also pay for the life of the little son, isn't it? ”
Aunt Li finally loosened a little, she moved her lips, but she didn't say a word.
Lan Yi understood, and immediately said: "I promise you, after confessing to the law, I will not let these things affect Zhiran, he is still the heir of Pei Mansion, and it will be recorded in my mother's name, even if there is a new wife, he will be the son-in-law, and the eldest son." ”
There was another silence, and when Aunt Li spoke again, her voice was hoarse, far less gentle and amiable than before, "Everything that should be said has been finished by the princess, and the concubine has nothing to say." But at that time, I just wanted my wife to lose her body and never regenerate, and I didn't want her life. ”
finally pried her mouth open, but Lan Yi didn't have any pleasure, and said coldly: "What about my brother?" My brother's life is worth nothing? ”
Aunt Li was silent for a while, and finally said: "Your brother is indeed in the way, and if you don't get rid of him, there will never be a day, but I also thought that if God had mercy and didn't take his life because he fell into the water, I would never do it again, but his health was too poor to survive that catastrophe after all." ”
"I now finally know what kind of person is the scariest." Lan Yi shook his head, "Even though his hands are stained with blood, he can always find a reason for himself, with a compassionate tone, as if the death of others is God's sin." Have you ever thought that God doesn't want to carry such a black cauldron, and sooner or later one day he will settle a general account with you. ”
Aunt Li sighed, "I've thought about it, of course I've thought about it, in fact, when I did these things, I thought about it, but I always had a little delusion, hoping to accompany Zhi Yan to live this life safely." ”
Lan Yi said coldly: "It's really delusional, but why do you want other people's lives to pay for your wishful thinking." From today onwards, you don't want to go out again, for the sake of decency, I don't want to make a fuss too ugly. ”
Aunt Li asked, "How does the princess plan to deal with the concubine?" Like Bai Yaoqing, eating Cang's ears and slowly dying? ”
Lan Yi didn't answer this question, got up and walked out of the door, according to the reason, she had to let Aunt Li's blood go, so as to relieve the hatred in her heart, but Aunt Li and Aunt Bai are different, this woman, good to herself, is always hovering in her heart, Lan Yi can't tell whether it is true or false, so she can't make that decision.
Pulling open the door, Pei Gui looked at himself sadly outside, Lan Yi felt the power of some family affection a little, Aunt Li sat in place behind her, suddenly raised her head, and said: "Lan Yi, no matter how I treat others, I am sincere to you, I love you as my own daughter, you marry well, I am happier than anyone else." ”
Lan Yi froze there, his hand clenched the edge of the door, and said, "Do you think that if you say these things now, I will let you go?" ”
"No, no." Aunt Li shook her head, there was no sadness or joy in her eyes, "I said these words, I just hope that the princess can remember the ones she promised to the concubine just now, and give her the future she deserves." ”
Lan Yi said: "I promised you, I won't change my words." ”
Aunt Li smiled, "I believe you." Lanyi, do you believe me? ”
Lan Yi was stunned, only to realize that she was saying the words "love you as your own daughter", the feelings in her heart are so complicated that it is difficult to speak, she can give up a lot, but what she can't abandon is the desire for maternal love.
But in front of the enemy, how can she leak the slightest closeness and weakness.
"Your words are just the tip of a knife wrapped in honey." She dropped a sentence and took two steps in the direction of Pei Gui.
But Aunt Li raised her voice and stopped Lan Yi's steps, "I know you don't want to believe me, but you want to believe me." Lan Yi, your mother may not have me to understand you. Do you still remember that you were deducted food by Bai Yaoqing before, and I gave you my own evenness, what did you say to me? ”
Of course, Lan Yi remembered that at that time she stupidly said, "I will honor my aunt for the rest of my life and not marry", but at this time she only replied: "I don't remember." ”
Aunt Li is still chattering: "Whether you remember it or not, I remember, and the knee pad I secretly made for you when you were punished for kneeling; When you hit the board, I pounced on you and suffered with you...... I remember all of this. ”
The more Lan Yi listened to this, the more he hated that he had received her benefits, pursed his lips, kept his face calm, and didn't answer a word.
And Aunt Li said to herself: "I know that you have an empty piece in your heart, and the wealth of gold, silver and jewelry cannot make up for it, I really want to make up for your mother, I really want you to feel that I am your mother." ”
Lan Yi gritted his teeth, he didn't know why in his eyes, and suddenly there were some tears, but such tears were forcibly held back, and they were replaced by cruel words, "But you are not worthy of being my mother." ”
"Yes, I'm not worthy, judging from the things I did before, I'm no longer qualified, but Lan Yi, my love for you has never been fake, you have to believe me."
Lan Yi asked rhetorically: "Believe it or not, is there any point?" ”
Aunt Li said: "Yes, of course there is, I hurt you without a mother and no brother, and you will be sad all your life, only those who are good to you can make up for it a little, Lan Yi, you remember, you must remember those good, so that when you think of me in the future, it will not be all hatred, at least, you can still taste the family affection I really give you, and you will not live so hard." ”
Lan Yi smiled coldly, these words could indeed move her, but Aunt Li didn't want to get any response, so she didn't bother anymore, walked to Pei Gui's side, raised her head and asked, "Does Daddy have anything else to say to her?" ”
Pei Gui was tired and disappointed, shook his head, and was about to say something, when there was a muffled sound from inside, followed by the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, Lan Yi was stunned, turned around suddenly, and saw a huge blood flower blooming on Aunt Li's head, looking at herself, smiling, and slowly falling down.
She actually killed herself by touching the corner of the table!
The corners of the table are certainly sharp, but if she doesn't use all her strength, how can she break the hard skull, Lan Yi knows that she is not pretending to be weak, but really has the determination to die.
Pei Gui also saw this scene, and blurted out: "Li Jiaochan, you ......" also took a few steps in her direction, but Feng Ying and Pei Zhizhen stopped him from life and death, and for a while he didn't know whether he should go over or not, as if as long as he walked to Aunt Li's side, it would be a betrayal of his deceased wife and son.
In a flash, Lan Yi had already hurried past him and rushed to Aunt Li's side, she was trembling, she didn't know if she was angry or what, she looked up and shouted to Ning Fu: "Why don't you go find Lang Zhong yet!" ”
Ning Fu took the order and left, Pei Gui finally came over, only to see Lan Yi take out a handkerchief from her sleeve and cover the scar on her forehead, but the blood was still gurgling out, and she couldn't stop.
"Ning Fu, Ning Fu, first go to the warehouse to get the medicine to stop the bleeding, and stop the bleeding first!"
However, Ning Fu had already gone out, in the middle of the night, in order to prevent the matter from leaking out, everyone else was cleaned up, and I didn't know where the girl was going to get a doctor, and Aunt Li's life passed very quickly, and the blood soon gushed out and flowed to the ground, flowing into the gaps between the stones, winding out a slender red thread.
Lan Yi gritted his teeth, "You dare to die like this, who is right?" You have done so many evils, you must die of suffering! ”
Aunt Li smiled, and it was obvious that Pei Gui was also next to her, but she only looked at Lan Yi, "The concubine, the concubine is the princess, I don't want the concubine to die." In this life, there are a pair of children, and the concubines are complete and complete. ”
"Who's your daughter?! Full of nonsense, you don't even deserve a good death! Lan Yi's eyes were red, and there was hatred and ...... in her heart In a hurry, he looked back at the door of the courtyard, "Why hasn't Ning Fu come back yet?" ”
Aunt Li raised her hand and held Lan Yi's wrist, her hand had always been warm, but it was cold at this moment, so cold that it was frightening, Lan Yi's body stiffened, and she didn't break free for a while.
"Princess, the mistake has been made, and the concubine only hopes that you will be safe in the future...... Peace and Joy ......"
Then she slowly closed her eyes, and there was no breath left.
Pei Gui, who was guarding the side, as her husband, didn't have a last word, she left all her strength to Lan Yi.
There was a long silence in the room, until Ning Fu stumbled back, "Princess, it's too late, I can't find it, I can't find it...... Yes! ”
She saw Lan Yi sitting on the ground, Pei Gui standing dejectedly, and Aunt Li had already closed her eyes and didn't move at all.
The three of them stayed in this small courtyard like this, and the candle slowly burned to the end, and the tears of the candlestick were suddenly shaken and extinguished.
Lan Yi seemed to have just come back to her senses, stumbling up, Ning Fu hurriedly went up to hug her, and when she stood still, Lan Yi said in a dumb voice: "Take the wind lantern outside, send my father back to rest first, and then you and Ruihua will personally clean up here." The message must be locked and never let anyone else know. ”
Ning Fu responded, and hurriedly brought the lamp in, the light was dispersed, and when she found the faces of the three people, Lan Yi saw clearly that Pei Gui was crying silently.
Lan Yi was very panicked, no matter what happened in the past, his father would not shed tears in front of others, even when his mother died, he just had red eyes and secretly wiped away his tears, this time, what? Could it be that Aunt Li is already so important in his heart?
Now that she has taken revenge, Lan Yi has no pleasure in her heart, people's feelings are so complicated, she knows that this revenge is not shared, and she has already prepared to kill her mother and keep her son, but because of so many years, she has slowly integrated into her own life and become her own family, and it has become so difficult to accept even her life.
And Pei Gui walked to the front of the main house, stopped, and suddenly asked her: "Lan Yi, after these things are done, are you happy?" ”
Lan Yi said bitterly: "What does Daddy mean by this?" Am I questioning whether I should uncover the truth and find out who killed my mother and brother? ”
Pei Gui was stunned and shook his head, "Child, you are like a hedgehog at this time, I just didn't think about some things clearly, so I just asked casually." Li Jiaochan hurt others to pay for her life, which is a matter of course. ”
Lan Yi felt a little regretful and lowered his father, eased his mood, and then said, "It's me who is too impatient, Daddy's question just now...... To be honest, not happy, not happy at all, I don't understand why they are fighting so desperately, Pei Fuli is like this, and the Heavenly Family is like this, none of them are willing to live a good life. ”
Pei Gui sighed, "I was in her house just now, and I was thinking, why did our Pei family have such a tragedy, maybe from the beginning, I shouldn't have taken a concubine, I shouldn't have let so many women add to this house, I hurt your mother, Bai Yaoqing, Li Jiaochan, and even more so that you and your brothers and sisters lost their mothers, and your grandfather taught me to 'abide by one's own way', which has disappeared in this family." Wait for me to be a hundred years later, how can I have the face to meet him. ”
Lan Yi shouted tremblingly, "Daddy......"
"Lan Yi, this kind of thing is wrong from the root." Pei Gui was heartbroken and held on to the door frame, "Today you hurt her, tomorrow she will take revenge, and the day after tomorrow a new person will be caught in a scramble, but in the end no one can be happy, isn't this enough to explain the problem?" ”
Lan Yi stepped forward and helped, and asked, "Daddy, what you said may have been thought of by some people throughout the ages, but without exception, no one can change anything." Since there is a mistake at the root, then you follow the root to marry a wife and take a concubine, and you can't say that the fault is all yours. It's over, and when the new lady comes through the door, you and her can live the rest of your life well. ”
Pei Gui sighed again and again, and the sentence "Actually, I don't want to continue the strings" did not come out.
What you can't do, there's no point in saying it.
This night, Pei's house has undergone earth-shaking changes, Aunt Li suddenly fell seriously ill, and died without surviving three or four days, when she entered the coffin, Pei Guinian was caring and considerate, very heartbroken, and put on a hair crown for her, covering the upper half of her head tightly, and the rest of her eyebrows and eyes were quiet and peaceful, and she looked like a life.
The most painful thing is naturally Pei Zhiyan, who has worked hard in the academy these days, and only returned home on the day his mother "died", and did not catch up to see the last one. Lan Yi said sadly and apologetically that he didn't expect this illness to be so urgent, and he didn't tell him in advance, so he regretted it so much.
