Chapter 392: Agarwood (10)
"The year my lord met Xi'er, I was just pregnant with Ping'er. At that time, the Luo family was not like it is now, it was just an ordinary small family doing business, and there was only an elderly servant and a maid who came to marry with me. Like you and Ping'er, my relationship with my lord at that time was also opposed by many people, but the opposition did not come from my mother-in-law's family, but my mother's family.
My family, three generations have been engaged in trading, gold and silver utensils have been involved, and even some of the transactions have been done in the palace, and the lord was just a small trader who ran errands around and ate according to people's faces. If the door is not right and the household is wrong, my mother's family is naturally unwilling. But like you, I am stubborn, firmly believing that the man I choose is the best, and I am tired of marrying him.
I think you've heard some of the rumors out there. Doctor Yun and I are by no means what they preached. Dr. Yun may have affection for me, but the only person I really want to marry is the old man from beginning to end.
Maybe it really responds to what others said, what you can't get is the best, and what is too easy to get, men don't know how to cherish it. My time with my master was even shorter than I imagined. ”
Old Madam Luo said, looking at the bones on the bed.
"Because I was pregnant with Ping'er, my mother's family also softened her mind and helped the master introduce a deal, if it is done, at least it can protect the family for decades. The master was also very competitive, and the business went smoothly, but on the way home, he met a child who was tied up by someone's teeth to sell.
At that time, Xi'er was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he was already quite clever. She saw that the old man looked decent and did not dress like an ordinary person, so she broke free from the human teeth with a rope, rushed to the master, and begged the master to buy her. also said that he wanted to repay the lord by being a cow and a horse. The old man relented, so he bought her.
Who knows, this son relies on his own good looks, and he is delusional and seduces the master. I admit that I am not as good as that son who can coax people, because my background and my upbringing since childhood have only taught me how to be a qualified housewife, a virtuous and virtuous helper, but they have never taught me how to please men and how to charm men. The old man was young and impulsive, and he had never been bewitched by this kind of bewitchment, and I was pregnant at the time, so my body was inconvenient, so I was caught by this child.
At first, I didn't notice what was going on between the two of them.
But as Na Xi'er grew older and became more and more bold, she began to look at the old man in front of me, and even encouraged the old man to intercede with me, asking me to allow her to enter and become the master's concubine.
Is it ridiculous? I think it's ridiculous! I abandoned everything, married him despite my mother's opposition! Ignoring my own face, I privately begged my uncle to help him secretly. What do I figure out? It's just that he can do everything good to me, make some achievements as soon as possible, get the approval of my mother's family, and let the world know that the husband I chose is not bad.
As a result, my Ping'er was still a toddler, and he begged me to take a concubine, and he was still a woman brought back from outside. I'm sad, I'm sad, I'm wronged, and I naturally don't agree. I thought he could take care of my feelings, and blindly seduced the master's cheap girl out of the door, but he actually brushed his sleeves away and doted on that son more and more.
In less than a month, the news came that Xi'er was pregnant with a seed. The lord did not feel guilty at all, but was so bold that he would take her into the room without my consent. ”
Old Madam Luo looked at Yun Xi's eyes.
"I ask you, what if you were in such a situation?"
"I-"
Yun Xi didn't know, and there was no way to answer. She only knew that if it was Luo Pinna's concubine, she would definitely not agree. Either she leaves, or the other party leaves, she will never allow herself to share Luo Ping's favor with another woman, and she will never allow it.
Seeing that Old Madam Luo's gaze didn't leave for a while, Yun Xi's throat surged and said: "If I can't change the other party's mind, and the other party wants to take a concubine wholeheartedly, I will ask him to write a letter of resignation to me. I will not be a concubine, nor will I allow my husband to take a concubine.
Because I have seen my mother, because of how many hearts have been broken, how many tears have been shed, and how many sleepless nights have been spent by those aunts in the house. If you can't win the hearts of one person alone, if you can't accompany each other to old age, I, Yunxi, would rather be alone than sad for that kind of man. ”
Old Madam Luo was slightly stunned, and then shook her head.
"You are able to say these words because the child in your womb has not yet been born. If this child had been born, would you have made that choice? Will there still be that kind of carefree and easy? Children will not become a man's shackles, but they will become a rope around a woman's neck, strangling you, tying you, and making you have to make passive choices in many things. ”
"Maybe!" Yun Xi looked down at her lower abdomen: "What about the mother-in-law?" What kind of choices did you make back then? ”
"Choice? What choice did I have back then? If I don't agree, the lord will also include her in the room, and if I don't agree, the lord will also let her give birth to the child in the womb. Besides, he didn't give me a choice at all. I sat in my room all night, and finally realized that no matter what I did, what I said, or even what I begged for, it was impossible for me and my master to go back in time. The choice I can make is not to let that sand rub into my eyes, and not let my Ping'er be wronged.
I didn't want her life, I just didn't want that evil seed to be born, and I didn't want her to have another chance to conceive my lord's child. I tricked her into the ancestral hall on the pretext of letting her go and letting her worship her ancestors, and then asked the people around me to feed her the medicine of the tiger and wolf. The medicine was really good, and it only worked in such a small two mouthfuls. ”
Old Madam Luo glanced at the table's chopsticks covered with spider silk.
"It's also that God has eyes, and I can't bear to look at me anymore, so I feel sad, so I took their mother and son away."
Old Madam Luo's cold laughter echoed in the dark room.
Yun Xi subconsciously protected his lower abdomen with his hand.
After a sneer, Old Madam Luo suddenly fell silent. Yun Xi held her breath and waited patiently.
"Remember, don't say anything about tonight. You've never been to this dark room, and you've never seen Xi'er. There is only one thing you have to do, and that is to give birth to the child in your womb honestly and peacefully. For this child's sake, I won't be hard for you anymore. ”
Old Madam Luo's cold voice sounded again, but this time, it sounded in Yun Xi's ears. Her body shuddered suddenly, and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground again. Turning sideways, she saw the most terrifying pair of eyes in her memory, with a thin coldness, coldness and a hint of poison in those eyes.
Yun Xi took a few deep breaths and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Father-in-law, don't you know that Xi'er is here?"
Old Madam Luo took a few steps back, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness, and Yun Xi could only hear her voice: "He doesn't know!" He only vaguely guessed that I had gotten Xi'er out, but he didn't expect that I would trap her in the dark room of the Luo family ancestral hall. By the way, this Luo family ancestral hall was built by me. Master, he is dedicated to business, and he doesn't care about everything in the mansion, even this Luo Mansion was built by me bit by bit. Therefore, he never knew, let alone thought, that there was such a dark room in this ancestral hall. ”
"Father-in-law, haven't you looked for him?"
"Humph!" Old Madam Luo let out a sneer: "Of course he has looked for it, and even in the first few years, he has never given up on finding out the whereabouts of this woman and the evil seed in her womb from my mouth. Even in order to find them, they did not hesitate to please me and coax me. Unfortunately, my heart is already cold, and my eyes are cold. When the heart and eyes are cold, everything can be seen more thoroughly.
I also coaxed him, saying that as long as Ping'er grew up, as long as the woman and the child in her womb were no longer a threat to my Ping'er, I would tell her their whereabouts. Of course he didn't believe it, so over the years, he always ran outside under the pretext of doing business. But he would never have thought that the person he was looking for was in this Luo family ancestral hall.
Also, do you know why he still maintains a superficial affection with me, sir? At first, it was because of my mother's family, because after the business was completed, he tasted the sweetness. For men, women are lovely, but careers are more important. He is reluctant to charm his son-in-law, and he is reluctant to help the mother's family behind me. I know, I know, but I don't care. Because the Luo family has only one child, that is my Ping'er, no matter how much he earns, it can only fall into the hands of my Ping'er. I have lost my love, I have lost my husband, I can't lose my face anymore, let my mother's family look at my jokes behind my back, and say: Look, this is the man you were tired of looking for, and as a result, he is not a negative man. I can't, I've got to leave something for myself. You say, right? ”
Yun Xi listened to Mrs. Luo's crazy words, but she couldn't tell her whether it was right or not. As a woman, she believes that when faced with the same problem, she will have many doubts, and she will also fall into madness. Because the deeper the love, the more serious the injury, the more unable to get out of one's own demons.
"What about me? What is the eight characters that my mother-in-law just said? ”
As soon as Yun Xi's words were asked, Old Madam Luo pounced on her like a gust of wind, her hands were tightly stuck on her arms, and a pair of cold eyes stared at her face: "Because, you have a face very similar to that Xi'er, not only the face, but even your birth date is very similar to that woman." Or, except for your vintage, the rest of the things are exactly the same. It's hard not to suspect such a coincidence, you are her, the unjust soul who crawled out of the underworld to take revenge on me! ”
