Chapter 99: Inner OS
I don't know where to start, no one believes that Wen Qing is not my biological mother, and it is not that the subordinates of the county king's mansion tell me more, but Wen Qing himself always insinuates that I guessed it.
Although my biological mother Chu Cailing left the county palace and made a lot of trouble, my father set a very heavy rule that no one was allowed to talk about it without permission, and for this reason, all the subordinates in the palace had a very big purge.
Such a painstaking cover-up also made everyone believe that Wen Qing was a docile and considerate woman, and in order not to let my childhood have the shadow of being abandoned by my biological mother, she was willing to be a selfless stepmother.
She took very good care of me, was considerate and obedient in every way, even more attentive than the father who took care of me, and was completely the most competent mother in the eyes of the world, so when she said that our mother and son did not look alike, and even our temperaments were different, I thought that I was just not good enough to annoy her.
If that hadn't happened, I think, even if I was raised by Wen Qing to be a waste, or a gentleman, I would have no complaints, after all, she was my mother in those years, the mother who gave me all the warmth and love, and in the cold alienation of my father, I was the only mother who could feel the temperature when I was young.
Forty-three years of the white calendar, I was five years old, the wind in early spring will blow the catkins all over the sky, I always love to nest in her arms, sitting in the warm pavilion to bask in the sun, that day, a white flower fell in the air, lingering in the warm pavilion for a long time did not want to leave, Wen Qing said that is forget-me-not, Xu is already away from my mother's illusion, I must not treat the enemy as a biological mother.
Her voice was very soft, and the girls next to her thought she was making me happy, so they all covered their mouths and smiled and didn't come forward, but I cried, I struggled out of her arms, and ran to the lotus pond in everyone's exclamations, she chased me behind, and kept crying: I said that there is no big goldfish! Why is it disobedient! Don't go any further!
Actually, I didn't want to go to the lotus pond, just because the only way to leave this courtyard was the water bridge in front of me, I just wanted to ask my father, isn't Wenqing my mother?
But how strange it is that I am only a five-year-old child, and none of the girls with quick hands and feet behind me can catch up with me, just like waiting for me to go up to the water bridge, step on the loose stone brick, and then fall into the lotus pond. The moment I fell into the water, I didn't feel cold at all, I just felt that Wen Qing on the water bridge was a little strange and scary.
Wen Qing kept me awake for three days and three nights, but the first thing I said when I opened my eyes was to ask my father: Isn't she my mother? My father didn't answer me, but since then, except for the fact that I have to go to the imperial palace every year, my father has never seen me again, and I heard that Wen Qing has been crying for a long time, and even his eyes are about to cry blind.
.......
I don't know how to explain it, and no one wants to hear it anyway. Wen Qing is still very good to me, much better than before, but everyone's eyes have changed when they look at me, as if I am ungrateful and ungrateful. Even if I try to be careful and flattering, in the eyes of others, it is all ill-intentioned. It seems that only ill-intentioned intentions were what I should have done at that time.
The whispering turned into blatant questioning, and after listening to it too much, my father didn't bother to care, after all, didn't I do all this by myself? Watching me grow up, Wen Qing no longer accompanies me every day, but prepares a lot of subordinates to send to my yard, but those subordinates seem to have come to vent their anger on Wen Qing, and they are all arrogant! As long as I can't help but be harsh, I will seek death and life, and my reputation for treating people unreasonably will slowly spread in Haixing.
However, in five years, the seemingly harmonious county palace is already on the verge of collapse, my father is weak, Wen Qing can't change it, and I, who am condemned every day, finally began to doubt myself, why don't I cherish all this? After all, if there is any accident, unlike my father's ignorance, Wen Qing will always explain to people everywhere that I am just a child, I have not been taken care of by my biological mother since I was a child, and my temperament is a little more perverse, and all this is her fault, and it has nothing to do with me.
I never thought it would be her fault, believe it or not, I really didn't.
And the turning point of all this was when I was eleven years old, when I came back from praying for blessings in the imperial palace, I happened to hear the discussion in the world, Wen Qing was pregnant, before that, I annoyed my father because of this incident, so I wanted to go to her yard to admit my mistake, but I didn't see anyone, and after a while, the palace was in chaos, and her girl threw herself into a well in my yard. They all said that Wen Qing asked her to send me something, and I did something I shouldn't have done to force her to death.
The first time, my father beat me and locked me in a side yard. Even if my only friend Yu Ke argues, he still can't change anything.
After a few months, my younger brother was born, and I wanted to see him, so I ran out secretly, and then I thought about it, it should have been Wen Qing's intention, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, the usually well-guarded side courtyard, but on the day of my brother's full moon, let me escape.
In fact, I didn't see my brother at all, but they didn't say that I fed my brother something he shouldn't eat, so he made my brother seriously ill, that time, no matter how hoarse Wen Qing cried, my father didn't blame me, but let me move out of the side hospital, and Yu Ke, who I hadn't seen for a long time, also came, that was the last time, and he saw me crying like a tearful person.
I stopped talking to Wen Qing, not because I didn't understand her thoughts, nor because Yu Ke always persuaded me bitterly, but because I didn't want this to be true, in other words, I was running away. I'd rather live with Wen Qing's care for me than think about her malice towards me.
But Wenqing doesn't know, maybe she never thought so, her dedication will also be exchanged for my sincerity, she hates the bad things I did to my brother, and shows all her hatred to the fullest, but in front of outsiders, she still pretends to be a mother, only saying that I am ignorant and has never really criticized me.
Over the years, under her protection, I have caused enough troubles for the people of Haixing to talk about for a lifetime, and because of the confusion, I have come back from the dead hundreds of times, but every time I will not doubt her, after all, the master has been teaching me that what I see with my eyes is not necessarily true, and it is what I should do to endure to discover the truth.
But I never thought about looking for the truth, maybe I had already understood everything, but I just didn't want to admit it, it was actually easy to admit her malice, but it was not easy to live in malice all these years, and I really didn't want to make myself so hard anymore.
......
"Why don't you speak?" Xiaobai stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Guo Zhaoyang's eyes, a little angry, "It's been too long to be in a daze, right?" She put a little charcoal in the small stove, got up and pushed the windows open, and in an instant a gust of cold wind blew into the private room, and the rich aroma of the mutton pot was also blown away.
Guo Zhaoyang came back to his senses and asked, "What did you ask me just now?" ”
"Ask you how you've spent all these years! Idiot, you! Xiaobai knocked his head with chopsticks, sat down, and said, "Are you not used to eating with others?" Always absent-minded. ”
"When I was working at the port of Shaluo and the Lanzhou ferry, there were at most thousands of people eating together, how could I not get used to it, but... It's rare to sit down and eat with a little girl. ”
Xiaobai smiled: "I don't believe it." ”
"Why don't you believe it?" Guo Zhaoyang looked at her, "I never lie." ”
Xiaobai was suddenly stunned, the slices of meat held by the chopsticks fell into the casserole, and she hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that." ”
"It doesn't matter what it means, anyway, if you don't believe me, I'm already hurt." Guo Zhaoyang lowered his eyes, looking like he wanted to cry without tears.
"I was wrong, no." Xiaobai threw down the chopsticks and ran over, put on Guo Zhaoyang's shoulder, and went to see him, but at that moment, he gently kissed him on the cheek, this is not good, no one has ever treated her like this, for a while, she didn't know how to react.
Seeing Xiaobai stunned in place, Guo Zhaoyang laughed all of a sudden, held her hand and said, "Little fool! Sit down, I really have something to say to you. Xiao Bai Mu sat down beside Guo Zhaoyang and nodded. I don't want to hide anymore, I want to face her and fight against everything I've ever encountered. Sometimes I think about it, could it be that I was too cowardly, if I hadn't been so grateful to her at the beginning, maybe a little cold-blooded, no one would really dare to touch me, and I would have lived a more relaxed life. ”
"If you do that, the gratitude will disappear, and only hatred will remain."
"Didn't you say that? If you really can't forgive, you won't forgive. "He is really contradictory, on the one hand, he hates to death, and on the other hand, he knows that hatred is useless." I know it doesn't work to hate, but I really hate her. ”
I don't know why, Xiaobai suddenly thought of Feng Mi, Feng Mi is a very absolute person, he can't see the goodness of human nature at all, so he is almost indifferent, and he doesn't care about malice towards anyone, so he is actually the most relaxed. She was so fascinated by what she thought about it that she didn't care about what Guo Zhaoyang said later.
"I want you to stay with me ... I don't know if you're willing to do it. Guo Zhaoyang's face was blushing.
.......
Haixing, Yaxian County
Bai Ku worriedly entered Wen Qing's courtyard, and as soon as he entered, he heard Wen Qing's roar: "That little! Spare his life, he should be grateful to Dade! Dare to hide in the welcome guests! Do you want to declare war on me! He's just standing there, and I can't do anything about him! ”
"The princess is angry!"
"You're going to say these innocuous things! I haven't settled accounts with you the first few times when things were not good! Why hasn't that fool come back yet! Tell him that if he doesn't have the ability to find Kanimarumi, he will find a way to kill that little! ”
"But... Princess... Right now... ”
"If you say one more word, this princess will kill you now!"
Bai Ku pushed open the door and scolded coldly: "The princess has forgotten what the old man said again, hasn't she!" You can't move when you welcome guests! ”
"Your words ... I don't dare to forget it for a moment... Wen Qing's silver teeth were about to be crushed, "It's just that that little is too deceitful!" I let the old witch teach him a lesson! ”
"The old man is not afraid to tell the princess that the last time the old witch did not do well, if it weren't for the little white girl's scruples about the face of the world, she would rather die with the old witch than send the golden pill honey!"
Wen Qing's face turned white, "What did you say?" Because of Guo Zhaoyang? "She's going crazy, does her son's life have to be taken care of by Guo Zhaoyang to live?
"This is providence!" Bai Ku said again, "The princess should weigh carefully, whether the life of the prince is important, or the life of the second son is important, if the princess really doesn't care about going against the prince, be careful and lose more than you lose." ”
"Withering... Wen Qing frowned and looked at him, always feeling that something was wrong, "You seem to have changed a little." ”
Bai Ku was slightly stunned, and said: "The old man just wants to admonish the princess, if you think twice, just like the biological mother of the prince, no matter how angry the princess is, she should not imprison people in the dungeon privately, nor should she lie to the eldest young master of the Yu family, in case the news of this matter leaks, what will happen to the prince, has the princess thought about it?" ”
"It turns out ... Even you are afraid of those people ... This princess is really... Wen Qing was furious in her heart, and accidentally broke a few nails, "Look at you!" ”
Bai Ku's gaze did not wave, and why his attitude had changed so much, probably only he knew.
When he left, Wen Qing suddenly made up her mind, she was not afraid that Chu Cailing would have anything to rely on, and she was not afraid that anyone would blame her, anyway, her son would not die soon, without her own children, what was the point of her living? She has to avenge her son, she wants to see what will happen to Guo Zhaoyang if she kills Chu Cailing.
"Let them serve another snack!" Wen Qing's eyes showed a fierce light, such an order has been passed to the dungeon by the nurse more than once in these days, "You wait, you will be next!" ”
