Chapter 67 Advance and Retreat
A hint of blush appeared on Gu's pale face, and as soon as his voice changed, he said, "Mother has told you before that when you were born, it was extremely dangerous, and although you did not have one corpse and two lives, you were weak and sick because of this.
Two years later, I gave birth to your brother, and the doctor diagnosed that it was a boy, but this time they didn't dare to do it. Your father is also on guard, for fear that I will make a mistake.
You also know how you were pushed to the ground. Afterwards, you lay in bed for a whole year, didn't speak, and people were stupid, even so, Aunt Zhou's mind never rested for a day. If it weren't for Li's mother's alertness, my son would have been out of this world a long time ago.
The old lady entered the door from me, and the thought of leaving me never stopped. The mother was ahead of Aunt Zhou, and her stomach did not move for several years. I thought it was because I was not in good health, but I didn't expect that it was the old lady who made a ghost in my food, until Aunt Zhou entered the door and gave birth to a son, most likely your father begged her, so he stopped the medicine, and I became pregnant with you. β
At that time, my life in the house was really sad, up and down the Jiang Mansion, with the old lady as the respect, Aunt Zhou as the mainstay, my second wife was nothing, and there was no son and half a daughter by her side, and the situation can be imagined.
Mother is pregnant with you, I really haven't slept a day, I haven't eaten a good meal, I'm afraid that she will not go well and let me lose you forever. Yao'er, I have been terrified for more than ten years. You said that your mother always gave your father a cold face and always pushed your father out. Do you know that I want to be jealous like your aunt again, but I am afraid that there is no one like me Gu Yuzhen in this world. β
Jiang Xinyao's chest suffocated, and she felt a little difficult to breathe. Unexpectedly, it has reached this level, not to mention the drugging, and plans to die two corpses.
No wonder...... No wonder......
"When I think of this, I don't have the slightest affection for your father. At the beginning, the old lady had already set Aunt Zhou for him, and she was a concubine and a good person. But he dragged me in. He married me, but he couldn't protect me. I gave up, and my daughter was wronged, but he pretended to turn a blind eye. Turning big things into small things and small things into small things, this is something I can never bear. β
If I had changed it, I couldn't bear it for a long time, so I fucked it. There is no sister here, there is a place to stay sister. Jiang Xinyao's words came to her lips, and she almost blurted out.
"In my mother's life, I never wanted to live a life of fine clothes and food, calling slaves and maids, I just wanted to live a clean life. The old lady's thoughts. My mother knew a few years ago, and she had to guard against it, so instead of waiting to be suspended, it was better to ask herself to go to court. At least for my sake, the old lady will not treat my two children badly. β
Although Jiang Xinyao already knew this original body and was the most pitiful person in this mansion, when she heard her mother say it again, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and blamed Mother Li and Dongmei for looking at herself. It's like seeing a wounded kitten, a puppy, full of sympathy.
Jiang Xinyao, Jiang Xinyao, it's a miracle that you can live.
Gu Shi had tears in his eyes, and said with a sad expression: "Yao'er." There is another reason why my mother invited herself to leave the court. β
"Mother?"
"I was afraid that they would not be able to touch me because of your father, so they hit your thoughts on you. Chen'er is a boy, and the Jiang family has always been scarce, and there are only three of his generation. The old lady would never have thought so. So cold day. The old lady ignored your youth and frailty, and let you kneel on the bluestone slab, and my mother's heart was like a knife, and she thought that if she could exchange it for the happiness and health of the two of you, her mother was the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, and she was also willing. β
Jiang Xinyao hurriedly said: "Mother is really confused, when you are here, they dare to do it, if you are not there, my daughter's life will be even more difficult." Mother, I originally thought that the second sister Ming'er Spring was out of the house, and the third sister couldn't stay in this house for long, and after a few years, it passed, but now it seems that this is not the case. β
Gu nodded and said, "Yao'er, as soon as the third lady returned home, I saw that she was not a simple person, and she was much stronger than her biological mother. But I didn't expect that she was still young, but her methods were so ruthless, you have to guard against this person.
The mother has endured her anger for more than ten years, and if she says something disrespectful, how long can the old lady live? Over the years, the body has been getting worse day by day, and yesterday's movement, the old lady was planning for the future of the mother and daughter. Fighting and fighting, calculating and calculating, isn't it just thinking about this position? I can't let go of you two, what else can't I put down? β
Jiang Xinyao's nose was sour, she only felt uncomfortable tightness in her heart, and held back her tears and said, "Mother, what are your plans now?" β
Gu Shi said sadly: "What a dilemma. Yao'er, it is difficult to retreat, it is difficult to advance, it is difficult not to retreat, it is also difficult. β
The mother and daughter helped each other in tears, silent.
The cicadas on the trees are singing, the willows in the courtyard are hanging, and the sun is scorching, but for some reason Jiang Xinyao feels cold all over her body.
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment and said, "Mother, I have a plan to solve the difficulties in front of me. β
Gu smiled: "Tell my mother about it." β
"Mother, why don't you come with me to live in the old house. Stay away from Jiangfu, stay away from right and wrong, and you don't have to worry about being afraid anymore. The younger brother has his father's protection, so he can rest assured. Father Ding worried for three years, more than half a year has passed, there are still two years to go, let's give birth to the little brother peacefully, raise him strongly, and come back in two years! β
Gu Shi didn't expect his daughter to say this, and he was stunned.
"I'm not afraid of them, now that my mother is pregnant, in case there is a slip-up ......"
"How do you know it's a little brother and not a little sister?"
"I guess! Mother, this is not the key, the key is that Aunt Zhou is a simple-minded person, the simpler the person, the more straightforward and hurtful she is. The daughter sees the third sister doing things, and she is very decisive, and she can even use her own life to make a fuss, what else can't she do.
Grandfather said that 'the image of the soldier is water, the line of water, avoiding the high and tending down, the shape of the soldier, avoiding the real and hitting the false' Now the old lady is still alive, we don't suffer the loss in front of us, and when we have the strength one day, we will fight back hard, what does my mother think? β
Gu Shi frowned and was silent in thought.
Jiang Xinyao said angrily: "Mother don't think about it, in the house, we are walking on thin ice, trembling, and we can't prevent it." My father couldn't protect it then, and he can't protect it now. Besides, when my father returned to work after two years, he still had to point to the old lady and the Hou Mansion, and he would never disobey the old lady for his mother. β
Gu's eyes reddened: "Yao'er, when your mother threw you to the old house, it was heartbroken, and now you have left Chen'er, and my mother is ...... in my heart."
Xin Yao frowned and said, "Mother, I knew that you were for your younger brother." My younger brother is a boy, and if he wants to make contributions in the future, he will be crowned a wife and a son, and you have to let him experience more from an early age before he can shoulder heavy responsibilities. What's more, it only takes two hours for the Jiang Mansion to get to the old mansion quickly, and if the younger brother wants to come, it is very convenient. Mother, the child in the swaddling clothes will never grow up, so that the eagle can fly higher. The only thing I was worried about was my father. β
Gu nodded and said, "I'm afraid your father won't agree."
Xin Yao saw that Gu's eyebrows were a little loose, and her little finger pointed in the direction of Qingshan Courtyard, and a light flashed in her eyes: "Mother, you said, if you have another boy, will some people not even be able to sleep well?" β
Gu Shi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that I want to die sooner in my dreams." β
Xin Yao said: "You said that according to her temperament, can you bear it?" β
"I'm afraid I want to endure it, but I can't help it."
"Mother, do you think she's stupid enough to do it right away, or wait for the right moment?"
"According to her temperament, she can endure for a month, which is the extreme."
"Mother, sometimes giving people a chance is giving yourself a chance, do you like to kill two birds with one stone, or do you like to kill three birds with one stone." Xin Yao pretended to be naΓ―ve.
Gu patted her head and said coquettishly: "You child, what kill two birds with one stone, kill three birds with one stone, I just want your two sisters and brothers to be safe." β
Xin Yao hugged Gu's arm, snuggled up and didn't speak, but she was thinking about it in her heart.
β¦β¦
The third lady of Jiang Fu's house is sick, and the huge courtyard has changed from the hustle and bustle of the past, and it is as quiet as isolating from the world.
Jiang Xinshan was quietly half-leaning on the bed, her expression uncertain. The little maid brought the medicine and gently reminded the young lady that it was time to drink the medicine.
Jiang Xinshan knocked over the medicine bowl and shouted, "Get out, who let you in?" β
The little maid turned pale with fright, picked up the shards, and left the house as if she had fled.
Just one step away. She Jiang Xinshan tried her best and gave up her life, but she was just one step away, and she was defeated. All the hard work was wasted, and everything returned to the original point, or even worse than the original point.
Jiang Xinshan has lived beside the old lady since she was a child, and the old lady often tells her about the past of the Hou Mansion, and those open and secret battles have long been familiar to her. In the four years I have been in Yangzhou Mansion, I have seen a lot of concubines and concubines who are commensurate with sisters on the surface, but in fact, they have hidden murderous intentions, and they fight to the death. As long as her biological mother is an aunt one day, she will always be the concubine born to that aunt. The word concubine is her lifelong luxury. She had to fight for herself.
originally wanted to direct a good show, but before everyone was defenseless, it ended perfectly.
Unexpectedly, the peak turned around, the play was a good show, but the curtain did not fall as expected. On the contrary, it was discovered prematurely that she, Miss Jiang San, was the real manipulator of this scene.
Gu was pregnant, and the old lady rested for the sake of the child. If there is another boy, the position of the second wife, Gu will only sit in prison more and more.
Although the old lady said that she loved her, spoiled her, and was bent on finding a good family for her, the old lady was already in her fifties and couldn't protect her for a lifetime. My aunt is useless, and my brother is like that, once the old lady is gone, the days can be imagined.
The Jiang family's gold and silver mountains were taken away by the occupants, and they couldn't even drink a residual soup in this room, how could she be willing?
What annoyed Jiang Xinshan even more was that the words that her father said to the old lady that day when she hugged Gu suddenly made her understand that her father's feelings for Gu were much more than what others had seen. Back then, my father took them to Yangzhou to take office, but I was afraid that they would also be shown to their grandmother.
If so, if so...... Jiang Xinshan muttered to herself, her face ashen. (..)
