Chapter 464: The Truth
Old Madam Sun knew that her eldest son was so angry, so she deliberately waited for him to vent his anger before she said according to the original rhythm: "Don't say that you don't agree, even the cats and rabbits raised in our house don't agree either." ”
Zhou Hexi: "......"
I always feel weird.
"If she were an ordinary woman, make such a ridiculous request, see how I hit her in the face...... But the fact is that the other party is the king of a country, and he has sent a large number of gold, silver and jewelry to His Majesty's favor several times, as the saying goes, people are short-handed, and Your Majesty has received the benefit of others, and at the critical moment to say a word or two for others, I am afraid that we have to comply. ”
"That's not going to work either!" This remark caused Zhou Xiao to be more angry, "Unless I die, no one will want to take Xi'er away!" ”
"Die, die, die!" Mrs. Sun slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Boss, can you be more responsible?" If Your Majesty comes down with a holy decree, do you dare to resist it? You can't bear to pull so many people to bury you! ”
The old lady taught Hou Ye a lesson in public, and the on-site reaction was the same as before, quietly, Zhou Yi smiled in his heart as always, every time he saw his mother criticizing his eldest brother, he felt that it was nothing longer for him to be criticized more.
Zhou Xiao's lips moved slightly, but he didn't spit out the words after all.
He can't pull everyone to the funeral......
"Fortunately, Xi'er has already married King Sheng, and in three months, she will be my eldest Princess Sheng of Zhou. When a woman marries her husband, even if the queen wants to take Xi'er to her side, she must ask King Sheng's attitude. "And King Sheng has always listened to her granddaughter......
The last sentence was not said by Mrs. Sun, but everyone knew it.
Zhou Xiao's eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't know what to say with excitement, and he became more and more satisfied with Zhou Xiao's eldest son-in-law.
"Mother, it turns out that you have an idea, which scared us a lot." Zhou Yi said what everyone wanted, and before he had time to take a breath, he only heard Mrs. Sun say again: "So, next, the most important thing in our family is to prepare for Xi'er's marriage......"
Mrs. Sun said a lot about the dowry before ordering everyone to disperse.
However, Zhou Hexi had not yet gone to Xi Garden, and was called back by her grandmother again, and her father was also called back.
Unlike Fang Cai, the grandmother called the father and daughter to the small Buddha hall to talk.
"I know, you have always had questions in your heart and want to ask me, there is no one else here, just ask if you want to know." This was said to Zhou Xiao, Zhou Hexi's heart jumped, and her intuition told her that she would definitely hear something extremely secret next, and it was related to Queen Xiliang nine times out of ten.
"Mother, I just want to know how Mansha left the house back then."
"I'll let it go."
Zhou Xiao: "......"
Zhou Hexi: "......"
"At that time, I had no choice, and the knife holder had to be loosened around my neck. You may wonder how a terminally ill woman who is about to fall into the ground has the strength to raise the knife, and the truth is so magical. That night, I pushed the door in with the medicine bowl in my hand, and my mind was full of how to cure her...... But who would have thought that the house was quiet, empty, and even the bed was empty. Just when I was terrified and overwhelmed, the wall suddenly moved......"
Old Madam Sun pointed to a wall in front of her for a long time.
"Of course, this is not the wall that was back then." Zhou Hexi understood that the predecessor of the small Buddha hall was the courtyard of her parents, but later part of it was changed to a Buddhist hall, and part of it was changed to a garden and a bamboo forest. It is said that the conversion of the courtyard into a Buddhist hall is one of the wishes of the mother before her "death".
"I don't know when she dug a tunnel under the Hou Mansion, and I don't know what kind of power is standing behind her, after all, in the eyes of everyone, she is just a princess sent by a defeated small country, no, she was the county lord at that time. Mansha is really a decisive and ruthless woman, she ate the Xiliang pastries sent by Queen Xiao, and then pretended to be terminally ill, and when all of us were worried about her condition, everything was in her control and calculation. ”
"The knife was on my neck, and she exerted her strength, oozing blood and intense pain reminding me that if I didn't work with her, there was a good chance she would ......"
Killer!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Xiao's heart was like a thousand knives.
"Take me with you."
Zhou Xiao: "......"
"Mother, can you not breathe when you speak?"
"What should I do if I don't pant and die of exhaustion?" Old Madam Sun glanced at her eldest son.
Zhou Hexi twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to describe his mood, at this time, grandmother and father can still have a wave of black humor, I really admire!
After a while, I only heard my grandmother continue: "Mansha said, mother, in just two years, I have regarded you as a confidant, your vision and insight are enough to serve as my military advisor, come with me, go to Xiliang, and create a situation that belongs to us." ”
"I reacted the same way you did, thinking she was in the Arabian Nights. Of course, I couldn't go with her, so I asked her if I would really kill me if I wouldn't let her go...... Who knows, she suddenly knelt down and told me about her ambitions and her attachment to the land of Xiliang. In order to return to Xiliang, she planned for a long time, including such a ridiculous thing as changing identities with Queen Xiao, and she did what she said. ”
"I only asked her, what will happen to their father and daughter when you leave? Mansha was silent for a long time, saying that according to the original plan, she should have left two years ago, and marrying Yi'anhou was just a springboard for her to leave Da Zhou, who knows...... She gradually fell in, at first, she just wanted to stay with you for a while longer, and later, when she found out that she was pregnant, she wanted to be married to you, and she wanted to keep a child for you, the child was born, looking at her pink daughter, she was reluctant to go, thinking that it would be okay to leave when the child was older...... Until, the old Xiliang Wang, the news of the chaos in Xiliang came...... Mansha told me that she didn't want to watch Xiliang go to perdition, that was her roots, and she couldn't be a rootless person. ”
"I said, you haven't answered my question yet. Mansa was silent again, this time for a longer time, and then she threw her sword and told me that if I didn't let her go, she wouldn't detoxify herself, and at most a month she would run out of oil. Since he couldn't save his home and country, he had to go to destruction with her. ”
"What else can I do but let her go?"
"I didn't do anything, I just pretended I didn't know anything, and she probably used the method of death...... A few years after Mansha left, your temperament changed drastically and you refused to live here anymore, so I turned this place into a Buddhist hall, and I fasted and recited Buddha every day to pray for her safety and success. ”
After listening to the story told by her grandmother, Zhou Hexi suddenly felt a sense of distress, maybe she had never understood her grandmother, and she did such a bold or even absurd thing.
Therefore, she can only guess that perhaps in her bones, her grandmother is the same as Queen Xiliang, and they are both women who are not satisfied with the status quo.
Of course, in the eyes of the world, this restlessness can be understood as, the great toss.
"So, all these years, my mother has been in contact with her?" Zhou Xiao searched for a long time before he found his voice.
