"What, remember? Remembering that he is not the only one who has been by your side all these years? ”

"Why?" Hui Niang raised her eyes and looked at Yun Sheng's eyes: "If the person I met from the beginning was you, why would it be Yun Sheng who went to my house to propose marriage?" If it were you, why would you watch me marry someone else? If you know all this, why keep me in the dark and tell me the truth? What exactly do you want to do? ”

Hui Niang gasped and clutched her chest hard. Yun Sheng's eyes were unpredictable, he stood in place and looked at Hui Niang for a moment, walked up to her, and asked gently, "What about the medicine?" You should have the medicine on you. I remember you said that this is an old disease, and since you can talk, you have carried medicine with you. ”

"I want you...... Tell me...... Why? ”

Hui Niang reached out and grabbed Yun Sheng's clothes. Tears poured out of his eyes one by one. She didn't know why she was crying at this moment, because she was uncomfortable, because she was resentful, or because she was sad.

"Why is that? You tell me! Tell me! Why is that? ”

"Do you think I have a choice?"

Yun Sheng smiled, but it was that kind of sad smile.

"From childhood to adulthood, I was just a shadow of that person, and everyone knew that there was only one child in this family, and that child was called Yunsheng. Although I have always been more obedient than him, more sensible than him, and more diligent and studious than him, so what? Just because I was born so little later than him, all the things I have belong to him alone.

Daddy wanted him to study, wanted him to get ahead, but he didn't like it. So I had to swap identities with him and use his name to go to the academy. It doesn't matter, I like it, I study more seriously than any other child. As a result, he was not satisfied, because he was afraid that one day his father and mother would change his mind and let him become my shadow.

I couldn't go to the school anymore, and my father and mother found a relationship to let him be an apprentice. He went for two days, and he felt so tired that he couldn't see the faces of others. So, I went on an apprenticeship under his name. It doesn't matter, I think it's good, you can learn a lot of things, meet a lot of people, and the shopkeeper is also very good. I was so bent on being his shadow that I didn't care about giving him all the things I had gotten. But he wasn't satisfied! ”

Hui Niang looked at those eyes, there was a faint pain in her heart, and she suppressed her light cough while reaching out her hand, wanting to touch Yun Sheng's cheek. But his eyes couldn't help but look at his broken body. With a fear in his eyes, the hands fell again.

Yun Sheng saw it, and the pain and resentment in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Meeting you was the most beautiful accident of my life. Hui'er, I really wanted to give you happiness. Yun Sheng lowered his head and held Hui Niang's hand. Hui Niang subconsciously struggled twice, and when she saw that she couldn't break free, she went by Yunsheng.

"That day, I went home and told my father and mother that I had met you and that I was going to marry you. I know that since I was a child, I have always been his shadow, but it doesn't matter, I can take you away from Yunjiaji and go far, far away. I didn't ask you, but I know you would be willing, right? ”

Hui Niang raised her head, looked at Yun Sheng's frightening, unfamiliar eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Yes! If it was you at that time and me at that time, I do! ”

Yun Sheng let go of Hui Niang's hand and retreated to the ghost screen.

"I do, and so do you, but they don't. Without my shadow, Yun Sheng is just a waste of the Yun family, and without my shadow, my father and mother will no longer be able to show off their only son to the neighbors. But at that time, I was as simple as a fool. My father and mother coaxed me, saying that your Yun family is also a family with a head and a face, and what do our family have to propose? Even if you go, you're just being ridiculed by your parents. It's better to take advantage of your young age to go out and earn some silver, and when you go to propose marriage, you won't lose face.

I thought about it and felt that what they said was right, so I went out that night with the man my father and mother had found for me. Before leaving, I wrote a letter asking him to help me forward it to you. I said, "Three years at most, one year at the least, and I will come back and marry you." ”

"And then?"

"And then?" Yun Sheng held the ghost screen with his hand: "Do you really want to know?" ”

Hui Niang nodded.

"I was sold by my parents, and that was the last bit of value they could use for me. What shopkeepers, what guys, what people go out to earn money, are just lies. They are reluctant to see me, but they are even more afraid of me. Because they know that when I grow up, one day, I will stand in the sun and be the rightful Yunsheng, not just his substitute, his shadow. Therefore, they handed me over to the human tooth and tricked me into going out to buy and sell my students, but they sold me as a slave. ”

"Bitter slave!"

"That's right! It is a slave, a slave for the pleasure of the rich and noble, who will not see the light in life, and no one will know about it after death. Yun Sheng said, pulling up his sleeves. On his arm, in addition to the scars, there was also a large tattoo with the word "Wu" written on it.

The empress is in power, and the surname Wu is also known to everyone in the world. Although Hui Niang was born in Yunjiaji, she also knows what this martial surname represents.

"It was a miserable time, but I never gave up, because I always remember the promise I made to you. Finally, I escaped, trekked all the way, and returned to Yunjiaji by begging for food. But it was too late, and they told me that you were going to marry him, and if I still wanted to see you, if I still wanted you to be well, I could only continue to be his shadow. Only then will they help me hide the fact that I have escaped, and only then will I be able to stay by your side. What can I do? I had to give in. At least at that time, I couldn't think of a better way. ”

"So, over the years, the person who has been good to me is you, and the person who has been bad to me is Yunsheng?"

Hui Niang finally asked the question in her heart.

"On the night I got married, I was sleepy, but I couldn't sleep. Half-asleep, I saw a man standing in front of my bed, and by the white moonlight outside the window, I could vaguely see your face. But when I opened my eyes and looked around, the bedroom was empty, and there was a strange smell in the air. When I heard the snoring and looked to the side of the bed, I thought it was just my delusions, a dream I was half-asleep. But distinctly, as I lay down, I saw a dark shadow outside the window. Actually, that's all you, right? ”

Yun Sheng didn't speak, but his expression said it all.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, my in-laws were angry because I made my food salty, and I was punished for kneeling in the yard. Although it didn't snow that night, it was still very cold, and you saw that I was thinly clothed, so you brought me clothes. My in-laws were angry, so I didn't dare to get up, kneeling until the middle of the night, and finally felt physically exhausted, and before I passed out, you also ran over with an eager face, hugged me in your arms, and warmed me with your body, isn't it? ”

Yun Sheng still didn't speak, but Hui Niang laughed and cried. Her hand finally reached out to Yun Sheng and rested lightly on the back of his hand: "At that time, I just felt strange, you were so good to me, why did you give me a cold face after I woke up. But I'm stupid, I thought it was because you were worried about the face of your in-laws, lest they be embarrassed for me, so you could be indifferent to me. It turned out to be me, and it was me who had always mistaken my father-in-law. ”

"Hui'er—"

"Why didn't you say that? But when you say it, I will go with you, and we can start living our lives again; If you had said it at that time, maybe not so many of the things that happened later, and we wouldn't be where we are now. ”

"If I had said it at that time, would you have believed it?"

Yun Sheng asked Hui Niang rhetorically, but Hui Niang was stunned.

Yes, such an unbelievable thing, if she hadn't experienced too much later, how could she have believed it.

"At that time, even if I said it, you wouldn't believe it, and they wouldn't admit my identity, and in your eyes, I would only be a liar with ulterior motives. No one will believe me, not even Hui'er. Besides, I thought that if I did what they told me to do what they wanted me to do, they would treat you well. Hui'er, you know what? It is difficult for a person who has been a slave of bitterness to give happiness to a woman again! I thought that what I could not give you in this life, He could give it to you instead of me. ”

Yun Sheng said, and his lips couldn't help but tremble. It can be seen that this sentence is extremely difficult for him to confide.

"Fox, do you know the bitter slave? Why is it difficult for a person who has become a slave to give happiness to a woman? Is it because the past experience was too painful and caused a psychological shadow? ”

Because what he heard was so shocking, Xing Ruyi hadn't spoken for a long time. At this time, she was sitting cross-legged on the ground without any image, and then turned her face sideways, and asked the fox who was still standing as straight as a pine and as chic as a fairy. 、

"Do you know about the forbidden luan?"

"I don't eat laziness and cripples in life, but it is difficult to ban people in the world. I remember the explanation of this forbidden luan was: forbidden, exclusive to the royal family. ”

"Do you see the words on his arm?"

"How can you see that your arm is rotten like that. But vaguely, you can probably see that it is a martial character. Oh, I see. This cloud is born...... Oh no! It should be Yun Sheng, who was sold to the martial arts family by his father and brother to be forbidden luan. He was ashamed to say that he was a bitter slave, because in his eyes, it was a more bitter existence than an ordinary slave. Looking at his appearance, although he is not as good-looking as a fox, he is more detailed than ordinary men. So, it's very likely that he is—a male pet! ”

"My little Ruyi has finally become smart again!"

The fox gave Xing Ruyi a long-lost look of approval.
