Chapter 63: The Poisonous Hand
"How could Qing'er not know, I remember when she was six years old, Qing'er stumbled and fell into the lotus pond in the West Garden, at that time only Aunt Gao was playing with Wanyun holding Wanfen, if she was ruthless, she could have watched Qing'er drown, but she jumped directly into the pond and rescued Qing'er. The deepest part of the lotus pond was flooded to her shoulder, and Wan Yun Wanfen screamed in fright. When everyone heard the movement and rushed over, Qing'er had already been dragged ashore by her. Later, my father even scolded her, did she push me into the lotus pond? But only I know that it wasn't her who pushed me into the lotus pond. She is really not bad, but the snakes, insects, rats and ants around her pricked her and forced her to be a bad person. ”
Aunt Lin finished embroidering the last stitch and tied a hidden knot. Put down the needle and hand the purse to Wanying. looked straight at Wanying with his eyes and said: "People are like this, I can't tell if it's good or bad, she should have been a bad person, but she has always done things in the dark that make you can't hate her ruthlessly for the rest of your life." Or a person who looks at his kind eyebrows and inadvertently reveals the murderous intent, which makes people shudder for the rest of their lives. ”
The candle flame flickered, thinking of a flying fire butterfly, Wanying couldn't figure out what Aunt Lin wanted to say after all, she was about to enter the palace, and there were too many things her mother wanted to tell her.
"Mother doesn't want you to have too much contact with Wanyun, it's not beneficial to our big things." Aunt Lin finally said the words that were pressed into her mouth.
For a long time, although Aunt Lin has never said it, but after so many years, Wanying can also see that Aunt Lin doesn't like Wanyun very much, but Wanying doesn't know why Aunt Lin doesn't like Wanyun, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, Wanyun is her concubine, it has nothing to do with our affairs, we are sisters, and it is always unreasonable to not get along with each other." After so many years, Qing'er can also see that her mother doesn't like Wanyun, since her mother doesn't hate Aunt Gao, why doesn't she like Wanyun? ”
"Wanyun, this kid has a deep mind, do you remember the peach trees that were cut down in front of the attic the year before last?"
Wanying nodded and said, "Hongfu almost gave her life for this matter. ”
Aunt Lin continued: "Later, your father secretly sent someone to investigate this matter, and in the end, he found out that he was on the head. On the heads of the Gao family's father and son. ”
"Them?" Wan Ying was shocked and dropped the purse in her hand.
"It's them, your father is not possessed by the Peach Blossom Demon at all, but was given a very strong sweat medicine by them. When your father woke up, it wasn't the monster who was subdued at all, but took the licorice rejuvenation soup prepared by the Taiyi. ”
Wan Ying didn't care about picking up the fallen purse, and had a lot of questions in her heart, her father's symptoms at that time were really like being possessed by demons, how could it be that he drank sweat medicine.
"I can wake up after a few hours of sleep, but my father kept babbling nonsense, and finally I really wanted to die. It took three days to wake up, didn't it? Wanying asked suspiciously.
"The medicinal power of the ordinary sweat medicine is only a few hours, and the medicinal power will pass after a sleep at most, but your father has a full mandala flower in the sweat medicine. A small spoonful of mandala flowers can kill a person. If it weren't for the fact that your father was not in a good condition at that time, the whole family really thought that it was possessed by demons, how could they ask Lang Zhong for treatment? ”
Wanying was no longer stunned, and followed her mother's words and said, "The person who drugged him wanted to take Daddy's life?" ”
"That's right, everyone up and down said that your father was invaded by the peach blossom demon of the Treasure Pavilion, if your father is really gone, is your mother and you still alive?"
Wan Ying didn't dare to think that if there was really no teacher, it would be needless to say that Wan Ying and Aunt Lin would be oppressed, if there was no teacher to protect her, the people of Aunt Gao's mother's family would not have put their mother and daughter to death long ago. Thinking of this, a bone-chilling chill froze Wanying's whole body from the bottom up like icicles in the nine heavens.
It's just that Wanying still doesn't understand, Wanyun has always been gentle and elegant, Wanying can't believe that she would really do this to her family and father, not to mention that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time. Although the cold wind of early winter did not blow into the house, through the thick walls, Wanying still felt invincible.
"Whether it's a mistake or maybe someone else doesn't know." Wanying said.
"You can't be wrong, the people who investigated this matter are your father's henchmen. Doctor Sun, who was treated that day, had a great friendship with your father, but I was afraid that someone wanted your father's life, and he hesitated to tell your father after a long time, so that your father would be on guard. My mother was a little confused at the time, but she didn't have a clue when she was in a hurry. Imperial Doctor Sun didn't say anything at the time, because he was also worried that maybe it was the hands of the family, if he said it at that time, he was afraid that they would jump over the wall in a hurry, maybe they would really kill your father, so he lied that it was indeed possessed by demons. ”
"Is it really her?"
"Yes, in the honeydew that your father drank that day, Mama Li in the kitchen put a spoonful of mandala flower powder."
Speaking of this, Wanying finally connected one after another, and the originally frozen heart suddenly began to crumble, and sure enough, it was the heart of the person separated from the belly, and it was really the person who knew the face but did not know the heart. Thinking of this, the cracked heart was instantly shattered, and the sharp fragments pierced the deepest part of the body.
"Mama Li resigned and worried, and there was no return, it turned out that this was the case inside." Wanying said.
"The people who investigated this matter went all the way to Shudi, and listened to your father, at the beginning, Mama Li refused to live or die, and she still bit to death after suffering a lot of boards. Later, the errand person tied up Li's mother's son, and Li's mother relented. said that it was instructed by the young master of the Gao family. ”
The strong wind shook the dead branches of the begonia trees in front of the courtyard, and the few residual leaves on the banana trees swayed with the wind. Wanying was a little happy, but also a little overwhelmed, looking at Aunt Lin tiredly, she sat calmly in the circle of light of the candle, like a bodhisattva who had escaped the dust and cultivated.
The Xiangshi was also recruited in the end, which is basically consistent with Li's mother's rhetoric. It's all done by the Gao family. ”
"What does that have to do with Wanyun?"
"Do you believe it? Mother saw Wanyun and the young master of the Gao family in the back garden, the young master of the Gao family asked Wanyun to fulfill his promise, but Wanyun did not comply, and the two tore in the rockery. ”
"So Daddy doesn't know about it yet?"
"How can you let your father know about this, he will die of grief. With this lesson, presumably they didn't dare either. ”
"Daddy is still kind-hearted, and this matter is over."
"Aunt Gao from beginning to end, don't look at her fanfare, come to our yard to cut down trees, it is estimated that she has been kept in the dark from beginning to end, your father is distressed that Wanyun Wanfen is still young, and she can't live without her mother, so she only put the uncle of the Gao family in prison and beat him to death, and then released it at the end. I also heard occasionally after the matter calmed down, that it was Wanyun who colluded with the Gao family father and son behind Aunt Gao's back and did this. ”
Sure enough, all the truths in the world are dirty and dirty, and sometimes it's not that people are stupidly kept in the dark, but they don't want to pierce that layer of paper at all, they are ignorant and unconscious, and they are carefree. If the truth is known, not all people are strong enough to accept everything.
Wan Ying was glad that if she knew her intentions earlier, she would at least be more guarded. Wanying resented, it turned out that Wanyun, who was so good, actually hid a femme fatale in her heart. But what bothered Wanying the most was - chagrin, from beginning to end, Wanying didn't notice anything unusual at all. Wanying is still too simple and kind after all, although she feels that she is well versed in the world, but in the eyes of others, she does not look like a fool.
Wanying's little mind really couldn't hide from Aunt Lin, she said softly: "The most gratifying thing for my mother is that Qing'er is pure and kind, God will not treat kind people badly, so there is no need to be entangled, everything has a reincarnation, and kindness is not wrong." Ruthlessness is not necessarily unforgivable. Mother doesn't want you to get close to Wanyun, she just hopes that you can bypass your troubles, that's all. ”
"What my mother said, Qing'er understands that the reason why my mother said this to Qing'er is to let Qing'er avoid Wanyun in the palace, so as not to meet the two in the future."
