"Naturally, I am not reconciled." Sheng Xiuyi sighed slightly, but remembered something, and his tone was stunned.

How do you tell her about these old things?

How did it start?

Seeing that he paused, he sat there after listening to half of the words, his heart was itching and uncomfortable, and he looked at him expectantly, hoping that he could continue to talk.

"Why are you unwilling?" Seeing him hesitating, Dongyu thought of Sheng Jieyu and Sheng Xiuqi in her heart, and she asked directly, "Uncle's unwillingness, is it Jieyu Niangniang who entered the palace?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi raised her eyes and glanced at her wife, her words surprised Sheng Xiuyi, how did she know that Sheng Xiuqi was not born to Mrs. Sheng?

Dongyu smiled: "When I was pregnant, I vomited uncomfortably, and my mother told me that when she was pregnant with the concubine Niangniang, you and the third master, it was not comfortable." The mother did not mention Jieyu Niangniang. I know that the second master was born in a room, and if there is an accident in the family, only Jieyu Niangniang will be left. ”

Sheng Xiuqi and Xue Dongshu, the twelve girls of the Xue family, entered the palace on the same day, Xue Dongshu had given birth to a princess, but Sheng Xiuqi had no news. I heard that the emperor only stayed in her palace for one night and never went again.

Sheng Changhou didn't care about Sheng Jieyu, and Mrs. Sheng was also indifferent. Whether she is dead or alive, and how she is living in the palace, people in the Sheng family rarely mention it.

Sheng Xiuyi smiled, and secretly praised her for being thoughtful. Dongyu said this, which showed that she was also very curious about the affairs of the Sheng family, but she never asked. Today, Sheng Xiuyi took the initiative to explain, and she took the opportunity to ask for an explanation.

She always knows about the affairs of the family, and in the future, the inner house of the Marquis of Shengchang Mansion will be handed over to her.

Sheng Xiuyi's discomfort in his heart was also put down, and he simply said clearly: "When something happens." The third brother was not born, not to mention Jieyu Niangniang, she is two years younger than the third brother. It's the second brother......"

Dongyu's eyes widened.

Second Master...... Isn't it the son of an uncle?

“…… Daddy and uncle and aunt have discussed. gave the three-year-old Hai Ge'er to his father as a son, saying that he was his father's son-in-law. In the future, my father will find a good future for Brother Hai, and the third brother was not born. Brother Hai, the family business of the Hou Mansion, wants to share it equally with me.

The fifth aunt and grandmother also recognized her father's sister-in-law, married into a high-ranking family, and enjoyed glory and wealth. The uncle is a concubine, he doesn't like to read, and he is old, so it's too late to make military merits. It is impossible for him to be able to make a future for his son and sister in his life. He agreed.

The uncle only has two sons, and the cousin is too old and sensible; Although Hai Ge'er is three years old, he doesn't remember much about things, and he grew up in a yard since he was a child. He is only familiar with his nurse, which is his own mother, the eldest aunt or my mother, and he himself is confused.

Uncle's conditions, my father agreed. Daddy's condition is that in addition to these things, he can't say it, and the other thing is that Aunt Xia's tablet can't stand in the ancestral shrine of the Sheng family. Sheng Xiuyi said slowly.

Dong Ying worked hard to digest this fact: the second master was not Tongfang's son, but Sheng Xiuyi's cousin. She was stunned and asked: "Since you say that you are a sister-in-law, how can you say that you were born in a room and raised in your mother's name?" ”

"Is Daddy the kind of person who is controlled by others?" Sheng Xiuyi said. When he returned to Shengjing, he didn't think about it happily. In the end, regardless of the opposition of his mother and the fifth aunt, he only said that the second brother was born in the same house and raised in the name of his mother, and the future family property will still be divided equally with his son-in-law. Mother arrived in Shengjing. gave birth to Brother Mu, and my father was even more reluctant to raise Brother Hai in our family. ”

Sheng Xiuyi means that Sheng Changhou is not good to the second master.

Mrs. Sheng is also good to the second grandmother.

Since it is an agreement, no matter what kind of reputation the second master has, when the family is separated in the future, the Marquis of Shengchang will definitely give the second master a family business.

Is Sheng Changhou particularly reluctant?

"What about Jieyu Niangniang? She's not the uncle's daughter? Dong Ying asked, "Whose daughter is she?" ”

"She's the uncle's daughter." Sheng Xiuyi said, "Didn't Daddy say that Aunt Xia's tablet is not allowed to enter the ancestral shrine of the Sheng family?" The uncle originally agreed, but when he heard that his father actually recognized the second brother as a concubine, he was also annoyed. He put Aunt Xia's tablet in the ancestral shrine, not to mention, but also at the head of his grandfather's aunts. Grandfather also has a noble concubine, although Aunt Xia gave birth to the eldest son, she is not qualified to accompany her grandmother and above the concubines.

In the third year of our year in Shengjing, the Yellow River burst its banks, and my father went to Wuhu to collect grain for disaster relief. After the disaster stabilized, my father heard that the ancestral grave in his hometown was also soaked in the continuous heavy rain, and the tombstones in several places collapsed. Although there was a mausoleum keeper and an uncle in his hometown, he was still not at ease, so he took the opportunity to go back to his hometown.

Uncle didn't expect him to come back suddenly, and he didn't have time to accept Aunt Xia's tablet. Daddy saw that Aunt Xia's tablet was resting in the ancestral shrine, and it was placed in such a high position, so in a fit of anger, he smoked the uncle with his bare hands. Uncle is weak, and he was cut off a leg by his father, and his body has become worse and worse in the past three years, where can he withstand his father's punches and feet? was beaten off by his father on the spot. ”

Dongyu closed his eyes slightly.

She only has a short temper when she is Sheng Changhou.

Compared to his bare hands, his current personality is really much better.

"My aunt just gave birth to Sister Qi. The uncle died, she didn't complain, she just begged her father to take Sister Qi away, and give her a future, she promised not to mention the cause of the uncle's death, nor to sue. The uncle is gone, the child stays in his hometown, and there is no future for him. The eldest aunt only left the eldest brother to guard the old house, so as not to cut off the uncle's incense. Daddy brought Sister Qi back, saying that it was the newborn daughter of her mother. The servants of the house who dared to talk nonsense were all beaten to death or sold. Later, no one dared to gossip. ”

Dongyu listened quietly, but the bright corner lamp in the tent gradually dimmed.

They have been talking for a long time, and they have crossed a time and space.

What she thinks in her heart is not the grandfather of the Sheng family's favorite concubine, the arrogant Aunt Xia, the greedy fifth aunt, the ignorant and fearless uncle, the eldest aunt who ruthlessly gives her children to others, and the young and innocent second master Sheng Xiuhai and Sheng Jieyu Xiuqi, but her and the Sheng family.

She finally knew the Sheng family's biggest secret.

Dong Ying doesn't like other people's secrets, because it's hard work to keep secrets. This kind of hard work comes from the unease of the person who confides in the secret.

Some people confide in secrets for a while, maybe just because of their mentality, not because they think you are the best person to listen to. When she gets past that impulse, she is not at ease with you in the first place. Whenever someone coincidentally mentions it, she'll be the first to suspect you of divulging the secret.

Perhaps, trust is eroded in this way.

But the secret she told Sheng Xiuyi didn't have this sense of burden. She just felt relieved that all of the Sheng family, she could finally try to grasp it in her hands, only she had the ability.

Because her man is willing to give her everything in the Sheng family, including the dusty unbearable memory.

Dongyu said: "Daddy doesn't like the second master and Jieyu Niangniang very much, and the fifth aunt doesn't like Daddy and Mother either, it turns out that this is such a past." Last time the eldest aunt died, my father asked the third master to go to the funeral, but he didn't let the second master go, but I am afraid that my father did not agree. ”

Sheng Xiuyi put out the light, the tent was dark, he held his wife in his arms, the two lay down, kissed her cheek, and whispered: "In this world, there are always gains and losses in exchanging one thing for another. chose to give the second brother to his father, but now he wants the second brother to go back for the funeral, which is a gaffe. Although my father's approach is a little ruthless, but the second brother returned to his hometown, and when the eldest aunt died, if others provoked it again and again, our family would not be at peace. Sometimes principles are principles, and soft-heartedness is not kindness, but the beginning of turmoil. Daddy is a person who has crawled on the bloody battlefield, and his life seems to be unsympathetic, indifferent and ruthless, but I don't know how much he has saved us. ”

Dong Ying didn't have specific feelings about the things on the side, but the servants in the family didn't dare to take half a step under the high-pressure rule of the Marquis of Sheng Chang, so it was very labor-saving for Dong Ying to take over the housework.

She used to think that Sheng Changhou's high-pressure rule was too cruel, but now she felt that he had borne his notoriety and made it much easier for his wife and daughter-in-law to take care of the house.

Dong Yu is still a little shallow in the end.

For the cold and irritable father-in-law, under the words of Sheng Xiuyi, Dong Ying suddenly had admiration and appreciation, and was no longer simply afraid.

"Daddy is a very nice guy." Dong Yu laughed, "Tianhe, to be honest, did you ever complain about your father before?" ”

She remembered Sheng Xiuyi's forbearance and dormancy in the past days, obviously rich and rich, and only eight buckets high, but she had to pretend to be materials, and her nationality was unknown. When you were young, you should have resented it, right?

"I don't take the time to resent." Sheng Xiuyi said slowly, "I only take the time to prepare. Be prepared and make yourself more sure, there will always be fleeting opportunities. There's nothing wrong with Daddy, he used to cherish power and status. Everyone has shortcomings, and sometimes they have inadvertently harmed the interests of others for their own ideals. A, you and I, we are both incomplete people with shortcomings. We also have what we want most, and we even sacrifice others for it...... We take it for granted when we sacrifice others, but we resent it when we are sacrificed? At least I haven't been ......."

Dong Yu remembered Aunt Tao.

Didn't she sacrifice the opportunities of the concubines for love?

She used to think that she was very open-minded, but Sheng Xiuyi's open-mindedness stood at a higher height. Dongyu looked up at him and was brought into a wider world by him.

If you are open-minded, the road in the world will be smoother.

Dong Yu hugged Sheng Xiuyi's waist tightly, buried his head in his arms, and muttered, "Tianhe, I actually met you...... It's the first time I've met someone like you. My grandfather and grandmother were fine, but you're a different person. ”

Standing at the same height, but in different directions, Dongyu appreciated the different scenery in the world.

She considers herself lucky.

“…… I'm no different. Dong Yu thought, muttering in annoyance.

Sheng Xiuyi heard it in his ears and couldn't help laughing. (To be continued)
