Chapter 224 Like a lamp in the night
"The fire in the broken house is not accidental, the death of the traffickers is not punished by God, these are all done for the sake of Sister Fei's persistence and kindness, maybe for them, these things to do or not to do, just one thought, but this can fulfill one of your little wishes, can make you happy, make you laugh, and make you no longer angry...... One thought, but it completely changed my life, if it weren't for your persistence, Sister Fei, without your kindness, it would not be possible to have today's Xia Xia. Every word of my gratitude to you comes from the bottom of my heart, I recall every painful past, in order to remember your kindness, if this life is not enough to repay Sister Fei's kindness, I am still willing to be your Xia Xia in the next life, always around, never abandon. β
"I didn't do anything at all, you shouldn't be me......" If they hadn't done anything at that time, maybe I would have stopped making trouble for a few days, but they took it seriously, killed those cruel human traffickers for me, rescued Xia Xia for me, and hoped that they would all go to hell, never be reborn, and no longer be able to harm people in the world, I thought hatefully.
Xia Xia just quietly combed my hair.
I said carefully: "That kid named Anzhou...... Have you ever asked Han Sanxiao? β
Xia Xia shook his head: "You know their temper, even if I ask him, he won't admit it." Since they don't want to mention this matter, then they don't know, maybe they want to make Sister Fei believe that as long as they look forward to it, something good will happen, and God will punish the bad people and compensate the good people. As for Anzhouβ" she turned her head to look out the window and said softly, "he must have returned to Anzhou safely and reunited with his family." β
In her heart, Anzhou is standing on the land of her hometown, leading her parents to run happily, and the picture is bright, serene and timeless.
I looked at Xia Xia, it turned out that she was as strong as her, and she would also deceive herself.
"But then again, what can a six-year-old kid remember, I sometimes think about it now, I can't even remember what Anzhou looks like, I only know that he is stupid, always crying, always screaming, his face is always dirty, and he looks like Brother Dabao when he laughs-" Xia Xia's tears kept falling.
That Anzhou, perhaps, is like a relative she can't let go, she doesn't dare to think, she doesn't dare to ask, she is afraid that the news she gets is desperate.
"No wonder you're so attached to Dabao. Don't worry, as long as the fate is not over, we can still see each other again. β
Xia Xia couldn't laugh anymore, turned her head to look at me, and burst into tears: "Really? β
"Yes."
Having said that, but I feel sad in my heart, who knows what will become of that lifelike and childish face after the vicissitudes of life? Just like Huayuan Yunbo in the past, Shangguan Yan today is like a stranger.
Xia Xia wiped away the tears on her face, smiled strongly, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "How can you talk about these sad things, make Sister Fei more sad than me-tomorrow is a thank you banquet, you can't go with red and swollen eyes." β
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said, "It's okay, I'm not the host anyway." β
Xia Xia said: "That's not good, whatever I take care of by Sister Fei's side, Sister Fei must be spiritual-I'll boil a few eggs for you to iron your eyes-"
"Don't be busyβ"
Xia Xia had already turned around and left.
I opened the window and looked out, and the people in the courtyard were gone. I looked at the messy chaise longue under the eaves where Han Sanxiao slept and smiled, others thought that I had paid too much over the years, taking care of them everywhere and catering to their eccentric and difficult tempers, only Xia Xia had always indulged in my concern for them, and made excuses for them everywhere when I was angry, because only she knew that they were good to me, and only one thing was enough to offset all my small and ordinary things.
There was a sound of brisk footsteps in the alley, and a white dress stood in the doorway, and the man looked up at the golden bell on the door, and then turned his head to see me in the window.
Shangguan courtesy?
"Second son Li, what kind of wind blew you here?" I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Shangguan Li to come to the embroidery institute, he always gave me the impression of being relaxed and happy, so I was still a little brighter with a heavy heart.
Shangguan Li Pianran made a small album to me, but his face was not as funny and light as before, and said, "There are some things that I want to ask the girl." β
I'm a little curious, what can Shangguan Li ask me about?
"Poetry and songs, I don't know what to cook wine and talk about, and it's a vain question to ask - come in and sit in the hall, it's too cold outside." When I walked out of the room to the outer hall, Shangguan Li was already in the hall.
He looked at me dressed in red clothes and smiled: "The red plum wrapped in wind and snow is very suitable for the New Year's season." β
I smiled and said, "Don't make fun of me." Is there anything important about coming to me on a cold day? β
Shangguan Li sat down, baked his slender ten fingers, and said, "Tomorrow for the banquet, you will all come, right?" β
I nodded and said, "Yes, Yun Niang invites a banquet, naturally she is going to go, isn't this the clothes all picked up?" Yun Niang is also too polite, is this to let the second son of Li come to confirm before the banquet? β
He nodded right and asked me again, "Has Brother Yan come to look for the girl in the past two days?" β
"I didn't come here on purpose, I saw him in the alley this morningβ" I immediately felt heavy at the thought of this, "I'm a little worried about him...... Did the second son of Li also come because of this? β
Shangguan Li frowned and asked me, "What?" What did he say or ask the girl? β
I thought about it carefully, Shangguan Yan's sad and desperate appearance came to mind, and I began to regret it a little, I shouldn't have thought about the things on the western slope back then, since they wanted to hide it, why did they dig it out?
"He asked me if I hated my father, when he asked me this, his tone and expression were as if he had experienced it himself, I said hate, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and then he said that he knew what to do, as if he had to make a very important and painful decision - is something happening, you are his second brother, you go and persuade him, don't hide everything in your heart, think about the good......"
Shangguan Li's gaze suddenly dissipated, and he sighed, as if all the breath of life had dissipated in him: "What do you want to investigate, can you tell me?" β
Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden? Is there a direct relationship?
I replied, "The truth about my father's disappearance - on August 14 of the sixteenth year, my father disappeared, and on the same day a widow and his nine-year-old son also disappeared along with Xipo, and before my father disappeared, he did go to Xipo to find their mother and son. β
"Isn't Ling Zun already ......"
I nodded heavily: "My father is dead, but why he disappeared has never known the reason, he was seriously injured and fell off the cliff sixteen years ago, so he survived." Although people die like lights out, they always want to be able to understand-"
Shangguan Li interrupted me and said, "I can understand the truth that I owe you the Yan family, it's time to pay it back." β
Although I knew that Yun Niang was the widow of Xipo back then, Shangguan Li admitted it so generously, I still couldn't help but be stunned: "Yun Niang, is she really Xipo Yunlan?" β
Shangguan said: "She has never denied it, but none of you have ever asked about it." β
But no, I once asked Rong Ye, and she said that Madame has been in the house, and even if she goes out, it won't be more than thirty days...... Could it be that Rongye is lying to me? They made up words so early to deceive Yun Niang's identity?
I stared at Shangguan Li and couldn't hold back my trembling: "No one asked, it's because everyone doesn't want her to come back, and they would rather turn a blind eye in order to protect my father's reputation - she is Yunlan, why hasn't she come back all these years?" Why don't you give us a substitute? How can you enjoy your own prosperity and wealth so comfortably, and not care about the ruins of other people's homes? β
Shangguan Li smiled, cold and cold, desolate and cold: "For more than ten years, outsiders have said that Mrs. Shangguan Yun has been favored for a long time, enjoying endless glory and wealth, but who can count how much happiness she has?" Maybe it's far less than those years, but she and her Bo'er depend on each other in the wind and rain at night. β
"Who is Yunbo? You? "I expect him to admit that he is Yunbo, so I don't have to question Shangguan Yan anymore.
"I know what kind of answer you want, but sorry, it's not me."
My heart went cold.
"Before the age of nine, Brother Yan didn't remember much, he didn't remember the girl and everything here was not what he expected. But I hope he never forgets that he is still my pampered brother, who has never been displaced from suffering and suffering, and we have tried to shield him from countless storms, but in the end he chose the path of patrol in order to get rid of our protection. β
Shangguan Yan doesn't remember what happened before he was nine years old? That is, he lost his memory after leaving here? If he doesn't remember what happened here, then didn't he accept it a lot?
I wondered, "Why are you telling me this?" Yun Niang, they really have something to do with my father's disappearance, right? "What comes to my mind is Hua Yan Yunlan's vicious face, she can be cruel and ruthless to children, so what did she do to my father?
Shangguan Li said: "I don't know what happened back then, I just hope that the girl can let go of Yun Niang and Brother Yan, how much suffering they have gone through to have today's life, although it is not happy, but at least it is healthy and calm, even if there is a thought difference in the past, it is really a last resort, why not let it pass?" β
I bit my lip, and subconsciously had the intention of compromising and retreating, and asked in a low voice, "Then do you mean to let me push off tomorrow's thank you banquet?" Isn't it okay to just go without going? β
Shangguan Li said indiscriminately: "The banquet has been prepared, just like an arrow on the string, I have to send it-"
"And what do you want me to do?" I feel a little sorry for such a Shangguan ceremony, this matter has nothing to do with him who was thousands of miles away at the time, but he is running for his mother and brother like this, if resentment can be resisted with a sword, then he must also be willing to stand in front of his mother and younger brother.
Shangguan Li looked at me and smiled: "I don't know why I came, let alone what else I can do to stop this from happening." I can only do my best to reduce any resentment that the girl has towards them. β
I smiled and said, "How can I hold so much hatred in my heart - you help me tell Yun Niang, no matter what happened back then, it can't be changed now, it doesn't matter anymore, I know that she is a good person, there must be her troubles." β
Shangguan Li's raised eyes were slightly moist, and he looked at me and said gently: "The girl is kind-hearted, I hope everything can be resolved safely." β
I nodded, "Yes." Second son of Li, you obviously care about them very much, but you have to pretend to be very distant, why? β
Shangguan Li looked up at the sky with a sad expression: "Because I am the son of sinners, I am not worthy to share the same house with them." β
I was stunned, is this a joke?
Shangguan Li has already stood up, the firelight reflects his white clothes, I think his appearance is closer to Yun Niang than Shangguan Yan, both are gentle and smiling eyebrows, the two brothers are like one child, how can they not be born to the same mother? This official ceremony, when is it going to be these jokes with me.
I also got up and said, "Don't you sit down for a while?" I didn't even have time to make teaβ"
Shangguan Li smiled: "No, Xie Yan still has some things to help with, so I'm busy and take a look." Miss Yan looks very good in this dress, like a fire. β
I looked down at the crimson clothes, and they were indeed so glamorous and arrogant in the fire.
"See you tomorrow." Shangguan Li's eyes were gloomy, and like Shangguan Yan in the morning, he left dejectedly.
I watched Shangguan Li go, and suddenly I was a little scared of tomorrow's thank you banquet, what does Yun Niang want to do? Shouldn't I wear this red dress?
I dressed up and wanted to go back to the room to take off my clothes, and as soon as I turned my head, I saw Yan Cuo's cold face, which frightened me and made my heart jump out.
"When were you in the back? Silence scared me to death. I patted my chest.
"You can really pretend to be generous with other people's affairs, if Shangguan Yun's family is really related to the events of the year, I won't let them go easily." Yan said paranoidly.
I sighed and sat down: "What's the point of pursuing it, nothing will change." I don't want anything to change, what I lost has been lost, I've been used to it for a long time, I don't want to get used to having you in the end, and you suddenly disappear. β
"Don't say these hypocritical words to disgust me." Yan Co glared at me, and then I noticed that he had a garment on his elbow, the one hanging in his closet, which he had carefully hidden, and I had not seen how he wore it, and it looked quite new.
I swallowed and said, "Okay, you think I'm fake for whatever I'm doing anyway, anyway, I'll just say what I think, believe it or not." β
