55. You don't even have the qualifications to be a concubine
Hu Dingkun's calculating eyes made me very uncomfortable, he was originally feminine, and when he squinted his eyes, you immediately had a feeling of numbness on your scalp, which made you feel cramped.
I don't want to keep my eyes peeled, I don't want to entangle with him, it's better to stay away from this person.
Hu Dingkun said: "Cooperate with me, Miss Meng, I can give you everything you want." ”
"That might disappoint you, for now, I really don't really have anything in particular to want." I didn't hesitate.
Hu Dingkun sneered: "Then we'll wait and see." ”
With that, he left.
The courtyard was calm again, I only felt a gust of cold wind drilling into my neckline, I took a deep breath, went back to the room, found a coat to put on, and then quickly ran in the direction of Mingyang Mountain.
Hu Dingtang was taken away, the Hu Mansion must be messed up now, take advantage of the chaos, I may be able to bring my grandmother out.
We have to leave Lin'an Town, I think about it, after dawn, I will go to Xiao Jinyu and ask him to escort me out of the city.
But what I didn't expect was that I had just walked a short distance when I was confronted by a carriage that stopped on the road, and it was none other than Huilan, whom I had seen before.
Seeing Huilan and looking at the carriage again, isn't it the one that Hu Yunzhi's mother was sitting in that day?
I thought it was Hu Yunzhi's mother sitting in the carriage, but I didn't expect it to be Hu Yunxi who got off the carriage.
She stepped forward a few steps, looked at me with a smile and said, "Meng Jiusheng, you lost." ”
I bit my lip and didn't speak, she came now to ridicule me, and at this time, I only had to suffer if I made trouble with her.
She walked around me slowly, shaking her head as she went: "I have to say, you are just like me, beautiful, but what's the use?" You'll never be able to compare to me, and you know why? ”
"Because you are just an orphan girl, dependent on an old woman who is unable to protect herself, just like the lost dog on the side of the road, who can't jump for a few days, what do you compare with me?"
"Behind me is the whole fox clan, I grew up with the third brother since I was a child, everyone knows that I love him, I have no guesses with his childhood sweetheart, I am his god-given relationship, what are you?"
"You're just an insignificant episode, and you still want to yell at me, are you worthy?!"
"I'm not worthy?" I really can't stand it anymore, "I'm not worthy, Hu Dingtang is also emotionally attracted to me, you have been with him for tens of thousands of years, if he would really marry you, he would have married you a long time ago, will he wait until today?" ”
"Heh, hehe." Hu Yunxi sneered twice, and was not provoked by me, and suddenly leaned close to my ear and said, "Then you have miscalculated, I came today just to tell you that just now, the patriarch grandfather has already asked my father and mother to discuss my marriage with the third brother, auspicious time, I am the wife of the third brother, no matter how much the third brother likes you, you can only be a concubine." ”
I opened my eyes wide and looked at Hu Yunxi in disbelief, I didn't expect Hu Qing'an's movements to be so fast.
I thought he was just forcing Hu Dingtang to go back, forcing Hu Dingtang to separate from me, maybe using a lot of iron-blooded means, but I didn't expect that he would use Hu Yunxi to kick me out completely.
"No," Hu Yunxi suddenly laughed, pointed at me and said, "No, Meng Jiusheng, even if I, the head of the house, can tolerate your humble concubine, the patriarch grandfather will not tolerate you." ”
"You don't even have the qualifications to be a concubine!"
Hu Yunxi's ridicule made the fire in my heart rise up, I tried hard to suppress the anger, and said: "I haven't thought about who I want to be a concubine for, I'm not rare, but I pity you a little, even if I am Hu Dingtang's main wife, what's the use?" Others are by your side, but the heart is not on you, and you will only be miserable in front of a walking corpse-like Hu Dingtang every day. ”
"Then I'll wipe you out of his heart completely!" Hu Yunxi said as if he was ruthless.
I laughed: "Erase? Kill me? Hu Yunxi, what do you think will happen to him if I die? ”
"He will hate you, I will be the deepest pain in his heart, he will never forget me for the rest of his life, you can erase me as a person, but you can never erase me from his heart."
"You!" Hu Yunxi raised her hand and wanted to vent her anger, but she was so angry that she gritted her teeth but was helpless, because she knew that I was right.
At this time, my situation was completely clear, and my desire to go was even more determined.
Originally, I wanted to ask Xiao Jinyu for help, but now it seems that I don't need to.
"If you really want to erase a person from another person's heart, the best way is not to think about how to erase them, but to find a way to make them cut themselves off." I kindly reminded.
Hu Yunxi furrowed his brows: "You want to deceive me again!" I'm not going to fall for you. ”
"Why should I lie to you?" I asked her, "As you said, you, your parents, your patriarch and grandfather, will not tolerate me, will I stay and have a better life?" ”
"Or do you really think that I am as obsessed with Hu Dingtang as you and have nothing to extricate myself from?"
"Hu Yunxi, you are wrong, I was forced from the beginning, Hu Dingtang wanted me to use the yin and yang needle to help him reverse his fate, so he asked me and forcibly kept me by his side, my feelings for him are far inferior to yours, which one do you think I will choose between my life and that little affection for him?"
"What do you mean?" Hu Yunxi was a little relieved.
"I can have a complete showdown with Hu Dingtang and give him back to you." I said.
Hu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and said, "You won't be so kind." ”
"Of course I won't quit in vain." I said, "Let my grandmother go, find someone to send us out of Lin'an City, I promise that I will never set foot in Lin'an City from now on, and before leaving, I will write a farewell letter to Hu Dingtang to help you wake him up." ”
When I mentioned my grandmother, Hu Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, because this chip, in her opinion, was enough.
"Then you can write a farewell letter now, write a little harder, and completely scold the third brother, I will watch you write." Hu Yunxi said immediately.
I shook my head: "I'll go back and write, you go pick up my grandmother." ”
Hu Yunxi thought about it, turned around and walked to Hui Lan's side, pulled Hui Lan's arm and whispered, not long after, Hui Lan left with a carriage, it should be to pick up my grandmother.
Hu Yunxi went back to the store with me, watched me write stroke by stroke, corrected a sentence or two from time to time, and in the end, she was almost saying that I was writing.
Those belittlements of our relationship, even I can't stand it anymore, but my mind is clear, this time, I will never look forward to any intersection with Hu Dingtang, in the future, the mountains and rivers are short, and the sky is different.
After writing it, Hu Yunxi picked up the letter and admired it carefully, while I began to pack up my things, the poor family is rich, money and dry food are indispensable, as long as I can find a suitable place to settle down, I am not afraid that I will not be able to earn money with my craft.
There were so many things that happened that night, and time flew by so fast that by the time I saw my grandmother again, it was already past three o'clock in the morning.
Sending my grandmother back was another carriage from the Hu Mansion, equipped with a coachman, and Hu Yunxi told him to send us to the railway station in Lin'an City before dawn, buy the farthest train tickets, and watch us get on the train and then go back to our lives.
After that, she got into Huilan's carriage and left.
"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here?" Grandma didn't know what was going on and was a little worried.
I took the package into the carriage, and then helped her up, the carriage immediately moved, I arranged for my grandmother to sit firmly, and then said: "Grandma, we are leaving Lin'an Town, and we will find a place to settle down outside in the future." ”
"You and Hu Sanye are so good, why do you suddenly want to leave again? Hu Sanye allowed you to go? ”
"He is now in a difficult position to protect himself, the people of the fox clan came to the door and took him away, we stay, it is likely that the future will be precarious."
Grandma gasped, but quickly accepted the fact: "It's okay, we don't get involved in the affairs of the fox clan." ”
"Grandma, I'm sorry."
My grandmother has lived in the small town of Lin'an for so many years, and she is old again, and she has to be displaced with me, she must be very sad, right?
My grandmother shook my hand and said, "Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Lin'an Town has long been unstable since the gold mine, grandma was not from Lin'an Town in her early years, and she also fled here with others, where Xiao Jiuluo is rooted, grandma's home is there. ”
"Grandma, you're so nice." I fell on my grandmother's knees, soaking up the last of my warmth.
As the carriage gradually drove away from the town and headed towards the only train station in Lin'an City, it was impossible to say that I was not sad in my heart.
My encounter with Hu Dingtang was not so beautiful, but after more than a month of getting along, our hearts slowly approached quietly, but at this time, we were forcibly separated, and we may never meet again in this life, not to mention, if nothing else, he will soon marry Hu Yunxi as his wife, all of this is really difficult for me to fully accept in a short period of time.
It's uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable.
Before I knew it, my eyes were a little moist, and I buried my face in my grandmother's lap, not daring to let her see it at all, for fear that she would worry.
"We're leaving, what should Sanye Hu do?" Grandma suddenly said, "Xiao Jiu, in fact, you don't want to leave in your heart, right?" ”
I shook my head and said sullenly: "There are so many people in the fox clan who can help him, we don't have to worry about him, just live by ourselves." ”
Grandma didn't say anything more, and looked at the curtain in amazement, not knowing what she was thinking.
I don't know how long I walked, but I was dazed and began to fall asleep, and at this time, my grandmother, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly began to breathe rapidly.
She grabbed her collar with both hands, her brow furrowed, her mouth slightly open, and she looked like she couldn't breathe.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" I hurriedly asked.
I reached out to take her hand, only to find that her hand was cold, as if it had just been taken out of the ice cellar.
"Stop, stop quickly." I shouted at the coachman outside, but the driver ignored him.
This coachman is Hu Yunxi's man, he only listens to Hu Yunxi's orders, and the order he received is to send me to the train station before dawn, and he will not stop at all.
I shook my grandmother, who lifted her eyelids and looked at me, muttering, "It's okay, I'm okay." ”
I suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked, "Grandma, is it that the yin qi in your body has flareed up?" ”
After the golden silk Gu disappeared, most of the yin and evil qi in her grandmother's body was expelled by Hu Dingtang's people, and the rest had to be slowly cleared by herself over the years, in fact, her situation had stabilized before, and she suddenly felt a lot worse.
My grandmother was so nervous that she couldn't say anything, but she tried hard to push me out of the carriage: "Go, go." ”
"Grandma, don't talk, I'll help you force the evil spirit." As I spoke, I mobilized the faint true qi in my body and slapped it towards my grandmother, but as soon as the true qi flowed into my grandmother's body, it was blocked back by a powerful yin qi.
At that time, my throat was full of fishy sweetness, and I held my heart for a while before I recovered.
No, my grandmother's condition is not like the attack of the remaining yin and evil qi in her body, and the yin and evil qi in her body is very strong and very strong.
My grandmother was swinging all over, her eyes were round, and she kept staring at me, and her eyes were clearly urging me to go quickly!
It wasn't until then that I suddenly felt that the temperature in the whole carriage seemed to be a little low, and I didn't feel so cold in the middle of the night.
I struggled to my feet, and knowing that I could not relieve my grandmother's pain on my own, I turned around and lifted the curtain of the carriage to tell the coachman to stop the carriage and help us.
But the moment the curtain was lifted, I was stunned.
The one who was driving the carriage was not the coachman arranged by Hu Yunxi before, I don't know when it had been replaced, and when I saw the cloak, a bad premonition hit my heart.
"Who are you?" I asked subconsciously.
The coachman slowly turned his head, the inside of the black hat was pitch black, and only the two red eyes emitted a bewitching light.
My heart suddenly cooled half, although this guy is not the hungry ghost I encountered before, its aura is not so powerful, but it should be the same kind of goods as that thing.
In other words, quietly, the original coachman has been killed, and the road we are taking now should not be to Lin'an Railway Station.
I glanced up at the horizon, and the dark sky had just emerged a little white, and it should not have been five o'clock at this time.
It couldn't have come alone, there must have been a lot of the same kind around to protect the carriage, and my grandmother's abnormality was a warning to me.
The hungry ghost is Hu Dingkun's person, that is to say, it was Hu Dingkun who intercepted Hu Yunxi's paste, Hu Yunxi wanted to send me far away immediately, but Hu Dingkun didn't want me to go.
Why did he have to keep me?
Do you still want to repeat the old trick and use me to threaten Hu Dingtang to cooperate with him?
There is this possibility, after all, if Hu Dingtang is really promoted to the position of patriarch by Hu Qing'an, it is not impossible for Hu Dingkun to coerce me to give way to Hu Dingtang.
But this probability is very small, unless Hu Qing'an is dead, otherwise, Hu Dingkun will not dare to act so recklessly, and besides, if Hu Dingtang takes the position, shouldn't Hu Dingkun be the first to hug Hu Dingqian?
If not for this reason, then for what?
I retracted into the carriage and stopped struggling uselessly, and by this time, my grandmother's condition had suddenly improved, but she was a little exhausted and leaning against the carriage wall, and her face was a little bad.
It seems that their goal of intimidating me has been achieved, and they will not embarrass my grandmother for the time being.
The evil aura on my grandmother's body was bitten out by the hungry ghost, and as long as it was not completely expelled for a day, the hungry ghost gangrene could torture my grandmother through these mediums.
Of course, if you want to achieve this effect, there must be masters behind the scenes, and there are really many powerful characters around Hu Dingkun.
My grandmother leaned on my shoulder haggardly, not even having the strength to speak, so I sat quietly, thinking about all the intersections between me and Hu Dingkun.
Slowly, I figured out some clues.
Hu Qing'an strongly objected to me being with Hu Dingtang, the reason is probably about my life experience, most people don't know about these things, only Hu Qing'an and Hu Yunzhi's mother's generation know the inside story.
But there is one exception, and that is Hu Dingkun.
Hu Dingkun may also know some fur, he pinched me, not to threaten Hu Dingtang, his target is likely to be...... Hu Qing'an.
I vividly remember what he said before he left at night, he said that with Miss Meng, everything has become different.
I must have been unable to cooperate with Hu Dingkun before, this person's methods are too ruthless, and if I mess with him, sooner or later I will be sold and count the money for him, but now, I have to consider compromising with him.
Whether it's for my grandmother's sake, or for my selfish desire to find out my background, I may have to take that risk.
Perhaps, it is not necessary that Hu Dingkun can really take me into the old mansion of the fox clan, but I have to be on guard at all times.
"Little Nine." Grandma finally relieved, she knew some spells, and she understood what was going on with these changes in her body, "I'm dragging you down." ”
"No, Grandma." I was relieved, "Actually, to be honest, it's not a last resort, I don't want to leave Lin'an Town just like that, it's just that when we go back, we may never be free again, or we may be on a dead end, grandma, it should be me who has burdened you." ”
"Silly boy, you are grandma's life, I can stay with you, it doesn't matter where grandma goes."
Grandma's words moved me, if I could, I really want to send my grandmother out alone, she is too old to stand such a toss.
The carriage came to a slow stop, the curtain was lifted, and then two guys in black cloaks climbed up and pulled my grandmother out, and I pounced on her to grab her, but was blocked by a gust of wind.
After my grandmother was taken down, the carriage started running quickly, and I lifted the curtain to see that it was surrounded by trees, and I couldn't tell the difference between east and west.
After running for about ten minutes, the carriage finally stopped, and there was no movement around.
I waited a while, for someone to come and let me down, but no.
In the end, I couldn't sit still, I lifted the curtain, and saw Hu Dingkun standing not far away, he was holding his hands behind his back, looking at the heights, I followed his eyes, and I saw the magnificent mansion halfway up the mountain.
There, it is the old mansion of the fox clan.
