Chapter 13: The Weak Willow Lifts the Wind (1)
"Zijue-ah! Zijue-don't-" Before he reached the door of the Pillow Xia Pavilion, he heard Aunt Liu's mournful scream.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Li retreated from everyone and walked in.
I saw Aunt Liu sitting on the bed, hugging the brocade quilt and curling up, trembling, as if frightened: "Adult, you must not blame Zijue, he is still young, he is still a child, he doesn't know anything......"
"Okay, as long as you tell the truth, this seat will spare the lives of your mother and son, and save you." Jiang Li took away the snow and frost around her, took off her coat by herself, and sat in front of the bed.
"Yes, yes, I said ......"
"Fifteen years ago......
"My real surname is Ni, and I am a good daughter of a white family, but my father died violently, and the family has no savings, but I have a pair of younger siblings to raise. There was really no choice but to sell my body to bury my father. My mother tearfully entrusted me to a person, and the mother agreed to sell me to the official family as a rough maid.
"On the way, I met Fufu. She is also from Pei County. It's just that her parents died and she had nothing to rely on, so she sold herself ruthlessly. We hit it off at first sight, and we were there for each other on the road, supporting each other.
"When I was about to arrive in Yangdu, I suddenly showed my true face. He will sell us into a kiln. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Liu clenched her fists and slammed the brocade quilt on her body fiercely, and tears fell in large pieces:
Fufeng couldn't get used to it, and when he asked, he couldn't prevaricate in a few words, so he actually whipped us.
"I threw myself on her and protected her, shouting 'Stop fighting!' Stop it! But the human teeth turned a deaf ear.
"Fortunately, the master appeared."
At this point, she finally smiled and calmed down a little:
"At that time, my vision was blurry, and the blood on Fufeng's body blurred my eyelashes, and I was also groggy. I could only see a faintly majestic man coming over to stop the people's teeth, pointing in our direction, saying, 'Twenty taels of silver to buy her, and send her to the Huangli Palace in three days,' and left.
Renya Zhang didn't dare to provoke the lord in the Huangli Palace, so he paid for it himself, found the cheapest inn in the east of the city, and sent an aunt to bathe Fufeng and change into clean clothes.
Fufeng never forgot me, and gave me half of her bath water, and we wore two clothes in turn.
"The night before she was supposed to leave, we slept together. She took my hand and asked abruptly, 'On that day, was it you or me?' When I heard that, I was astonished. ”
I could only see that Aunt Liu's tears fell more fiercely, and she couldn't stop sobbing.
"I jokingly said, naturally it's me, and my appearance is obviously more outstanding.
"I really didn't think she would take it seriously, just joking that I should be happy in the future. I didn't think much about it, thinking that it would be hard for her to travel tomorrow morning, so I didn't talk to her again, and went to sleep first.
"Unexpectedly, the next morning, Fufeng disappeared...... I looked for her with Ya Zhang, but I only saw a letter at the bedside.
"The inn is shabby, but she wrote it with her own blood. It is concise and to the point, with only a few words. She only said that she didn't want to enter the Huangli Palace, and had already escaped to the Huahong Courtyard while it was dark. ”
Aunt Liu suddenly stopped and looked directly into Jiang Li's eyes: "I hate!" ”
"I hate her for being stupid! I actually entered the Bonus Courtyard, where bureaucrats are everywhere and I accidentally lost my head! ”
"I hate that she only cares about me, she actually gave me the opportunity to enter the Huangli Palace, she has suffered so much, she doesn't even want to live a good life!"
"I hate...... I hate that she didn't even say more than two words to me before she left......"
With that, she straightened up and sat down suddenly. Grabbing his hair with both hands, he couldn't stop sobbing: "It's all because I made a joke with her the night before...... It's all my fault. ”
Jiang Li gently stroked her body, nodded to her, and motioned for her to continue.
"Ren Yazhang didn't want to offend Hua Hongyuan, and he was even more afraid of Huangli Palace, thinking that it was a collusion between the two of us, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He asked me to take the name of Fufeng and enter the Huangli Palace.
"Sir, sir...... He was naturally wonderful, exactly as I had in mind to be great. It's just that my heart is really sad......
"The old man saw that I was pitiful and from Pei County, so he raised me to be my aunt. Just because I read books when I was a child, he treated me differently. Later, when he married his wife, he did not pamper me as much as he used to.
"I managed to gain a foothold in the house, so I found a reliable domestic servant to help me go to the Bona Courtyard to find a lady named Fufeng...... It took me a long time to hear from her.
"I was unwilling, instigated the master, and took me to the Huahong Courtyard with me......" Aunt Liu's eyes were already blood-red, and her brows were furrowed into a knot that could not be opened, "It's that I can't stand him, but I can't help it." If I can't see Fufeng, what's the point of living in this life......
"While the lord and the courtesans were drunk and amused, I sneaked into the courtyard where the girls lived. Just because I am a daughter, and the Bonus Courtyard is full of people, it has not attracted the attention of the guards.
"As fate would have it, I actually met Fufeng in the aisle.
I almost screamed in surprise. To tell the truth, I always thought she was dead, but I was unwilling to look for her, but I didn't expect that she was really still in the world!
"At this moment, she is already a famous courtesan in the red court. She actually changed her name to Ni Weak Willow, and everyone in the world called her Weak Willow Lady. No wonder I couldn't find someone looking for her.
"I heard that she is a clean man who sells her art but not her body, so I was relieved. She was doing well and only reassured me. But I still asked her to pay more attention to safety, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for her to stick to her chastity. She only reassured me and didn't say much.
"After that, every month I secretly sent her letters, and I told her that Madame had harshly governed my troubles in the house, and she told me that the other sisters of the Bonus Courtyard had only annoyed her.
"Suddenly, one day, she told me that she had someone she loved......"
Speaking of this, Aunt Liu's tears finally stopped, and she began to smile silently:
"She and I are real, real sisters...... I shouldn't have turned against her. ”
She stopped and looked at her wrist quietly, only making Jiang Li feel frightened, for fear that she would do something to hurt herself: "What is it for?" ”
"She, she said, the person she likes is the prince of the king......
I couldn't help but wonder, who could get into her eyes?
"At that time, I never dreamed that her answer would be Shuntianfu Yin, Lord Wang Songbai."
Hearing this, Jiang Li's face also changed. She didn't expect that Wang Zijue was so important in Aunt Liu's heart. I just mentioned it, saying that Wang Zijue's future was in Jiang Li's hands, and Aunt Liu actually vomited out the details.
