Chapter 304: There are no absolutes on the merits
I will find you guys if I were alive.
My heart sinks, what is it that would make Zong Bai make such a desperate plan?
He is the steward of the Shangguan Mansion anyway, and he was the chief general of the Yan clan, not to mention how much ability he has, but he can know many powerful people in the court for so many years, what disaster will he have? And he asked for help from the brother he said for the first time and didn't ask for Shangguan Bo, could it be that this disaster couldn't even help Shangguan Bo, who was the emperor's prime minister?
"It was a mistake from the start...... "Furye cried.
"Everything is voluntary and I will live with the consequences. Aph, I've never regretted it. Zong Bai said firmly.
"But I regret it...... If I were given another chance, I'd rather never know you at all. β
Fuye is also very firm, but I think her words are very hurtful, Zong Bai disregarded his own safety to arrange a way back for their mother and daughter, they have been married for many years, but she said that she would rather never know him.
"Afu ......" has always been serious and old-fashioned and daunting, Zong Bai, who was speechless in front of his wife.
"I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand this situation, I can't stand the children's pretending to be strong, I can't stand the way my wife hides and weeps, and now it's like this...... If time could come back, I would rather I be the girl next to the eldest princess, I would rather have my heart like a mirror in this life, I would rather die alone in the palace, I would rather have no you and no finches in this life......" Fu Ye cried in a low voice.
It turned out that Fuye was the dowry girl brought to Shangguan Mansion by Shangguan Mingzhu, not a person from Shangguan Mansion.
"I'm sorry, I failed your expectations." Zong Bai said with difficulty.
Fu Ye said fiercely: "That's right, you are no longer the Zong Bai I know who is full of blood and justice even in a difficult situation, I can't even proudly tell Que'er that his father was a hero......"
Although I have only met Zongbai a few times, I have no dislike for him, especially since I know that he is my father's brother. There are also doubts in his heart, why can he leave the brothers of the Yan clan who were born and died so decisively, and willingly handle these household chores for Shangguan Bo?
I didn't feel the blood and justice that Fu Ye said in him, I only felt that he was an old-fashioned and serious steward, as if he had a lot of things pressed in his heart.
What changed him? Or did something else happen to the Yan clan back then?
As I was thinking this, someone suddenly pushed the door open and came in, and I stood behind the bedpost in a thief's heart.
"Afu-" Zong Bai seemed to be about to grab Fuye, but Fuye had already walked into the small hall quickly.
Zong Bai hurriedly closed the door.
Fu Ye sneered: "What are you afraid of?" I'm fed up with the way you cringe! β
Zong Bai stepped forward and pulled Fu Ye and said, "Don't say it, I beg you." β
Fuye pushed Zong Bai violently, and Zong Bai hurried overnight, already exhausted and collapsed, and was pushed to sit on the stool.
"I know Madame has been helping you, but how did you manage to be at ease, Zongbai? The suffering she has suffered in this life is not enough, and she still needs to pay for it with death? It's all like this, do you still have to pretend to be deaf and dumb? I feel sick! β
Zong Bai suddenly looked in my direction, and I was stunned - he sensed my presence?
"Afu, don't say it!" He stood up and went to Lafleaf, as if he was afraid that Fowl would tell some secret on an impulse.
"Don't touch me!" Fu Ye took a step back in disgust, and looked back at Yun Niang, who was still sleeping, she thought that Zong Bai was afraid of Yun Niang, and laughed angrily.
"I can understand Madame's suffering, and I can also understand her final choice. She is too kind and willing to sacrifice herself to protect the people around her, why shouldn't I......" She walked slowly towards Yun Niang.
Zong Bai looked guilty, straight through the bed tent, as if he could see me behind the bed, I could see that look very clearly, as if begging me not to interfere in it.
Fluffy slowly lifted the hem of her skirt and tightened her sleeves.
"Afu-" Zong Bai suddenly frowned, and then as if he sensed that something was wrong, he shouted, "Afu! β
said that it was too late, and Fu Ye suddenly rushed to the bed quickly! She didn't lift the bed net, but arched it straight and slammed it in!
"Save her!" Zong Bai flew to pull her, but perhaps because he was overworked, his movements were not agile, and I quickly walked out from behind the bed and pushed hard towards Fuye.
But it's too late!
I didn't have enough strength to resist Fluffy's deliberate impact, and we all fell to the ground, and the bed tent was ripped off by her sudden impact, and she was wrapped in the tentβand she fellβher head still hitting the corner of the bed, with a loud bang!
I was so stunned by the sudden impact and loud noise that I didn't have time to look back at Fluffy as she fell in my arms.
"Afu!" Zong Bai rushed to hold her in his arms, gritted his teeth and pulled the bed tent to reveal her face, the bed tent was already slightly red, he held Fu Ye's instantly pale face and said angrily, "Why are you so stupid!" β
The corners of the bed weren't sharp, but the huge impact had made Fleye's forehead slightly white and swollen, and pale red blood slowly seeped out of the impact marks, and then became more and more red......
I was scared stupid, how could this be? Why should I hide behind my bed?!
If I had been standing on the edge of the bed, I would have been able to hold Flye in time, and she wouldn't have been so badly injured......
"I don't want to be a burden to you, if you are determined to trade our lives for death, then I will be one step ahead of you......" Fuye's tears mixed with the blood flowing from her forehead, and her face was grief-stricken, as if there was no hope for life anymore.
I burst into tears, feeling like a murderer at the moment.
Fu Ye suddenly grabbed my hand tightly, and said with difficulty: "Please Miss Yan, can you save my family's finch......"
I was stunned: "What do you mean?" Why are you begging me to save the finch? β
"If Miss Yan is willing to come forward and beg the master, don't offend the finch, she is still young, give her a way for her life, he will agree to it in the face of Ling Zun......" Fuye said about the finch, choked silently, and with the only strength, she grabbed my hand tightly, as if my hand was the last hope for her.
"Why? Why do you have to use death to solve the problem? Why? I looked at her like this, and my heart was like a knife.
Fleur shook her head, the blood on her forehead seeping more and more, and her eyes became darker and darker.
Zong Bai carefully pressed on her and gently picked her up, he was very calm, this composure made me feel inexplicably hopeless.
But Flutter still held my hand tightly.
Zong Bai said: "Miss Trouble, let's go with us." β
I nodded, and followed Zong Bai to their house.
When he arrived at the side room, Zong Bai carefully put Fuye on the bed, applied medicine, bandaged the wound, and acted fluently.
I carefully wiped the blood oozing from Fuye's wound and said worriedly: "Song Lingjian shouldn't have gone far, otherwise let her come and help Aunt Fu take a look." β
"No need." Zong Bai stiffened his face and looked at Fu Ye in despair.
I wept secretly, although I didn't know what they were talking about, but first Li Xue and then Fu Ye, seeing such a vivid life almost disappear in front of me, and I was only a little bit close to preventing the tragedy from happening twice, how could I not blame myself and not feel uncomfortable?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation...... I wanted to get out......" I explained awkwardly.
Zong Bai shook his head lightly and stared at Fu Ye intently: "If there is no one pushed by Miss, with her determination to seek death, I am afraid that she will not be able to save it." β
I bit my lip and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Fuye took a breath and woke up faintly, but as if he hated that he hadn't died, he looked resentful and sad.
Zong Bai didn't open his mouth either, he knew that Fu Ye would not pay attention to him.
I wiped my tears, shook Fu Ye's hand and said, "Why can't Aunt Fu think about it so much, there is a solution to everything, but death can't be resurrected." β
Fleur bit her lip, I knew that she was a strong and stubborn person after a few contacts, and she definitely didn't want to listen to my persuasion.
"The finch is still so young, so innocent and so cute, can you bear to let her fall such a big shadow at such a young age? If you just leave like this, how can you ask her to forgive me and Uncle Zong, and how can we face her again? β
At the mention of the finch, Fuye seemed to have been caught in the soft underbelly, frowning and crying.
Zong Bai seemed to have lost all his strong reasons, and said weakly: "Why are you not willing to wait even one more day?" β
Fu Ye said in a dumb voice: "I don't want to become a coward again because of soft-heartedness. β
Zong Bai was stunned.
Fleur closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to see him again.
Zong Bai got up stiffly, took a few steps outside, and said, "I, Zong Bai, am by no means a coward, and you are not a sinner, we will all live with dignity or die without shame." It's just that I don't have the shame to face those brothers, this catastrophe that I never imagined was caused by my own hands, and I can't wash away the sins of my hands ten times when I die......"
Fu Ye frowned, as if she didn't quite understand what Zong Bai meant. And I didn't know what they were talking about from start to finish.
Zong Bai walked out without looking back.
Obviously care about each other, but in the end, it will turn into mutual harm? With such a fierce expression and vicious language, why?
I got up slightly and looked, Zong Bai didn't go far, just sat in the side courtyard, staring at the unfinished chess on the stone table in the courtyard, as if waiting for something.
Fuye opened her eyes with tears in her eyes, stood up, and turned her head to look at the window.
I knew she didn't do it because she hated Zongbai, she still cared about him in her heart, especially the incomprehensible words he said before leaving.
I walked to the window, pushed the crack open, and lowered the curtain so that she could see the courtyard clearly.
I asked her, "Aunt Fu obviously cares about Zong Bai, why do you say such things that hurt his heart?" β
Fu Ye lost her soul and smiled bitterly with tears: "How much does Miss Yan know about Zong Bai, why do you want to help him speak?" β
I bit my lip and said, "I don't know much, but I know you're all good people." β
"If a good person does something bad, is it still a good person?"
I thought about it for a while and said, "It depends on what kind of bad thing it is, if there is a hardship, if you have to be persecuted, or if you do something bad out of good intentions, then you can only be regarded as a mistake, not a bad person." β
Fu Ye gritted her teeth, glared at Zong Bai in the courtyard fiercely, and when she frowned, blood oozed from her forehead again, and said, "Good is good, bad is bad, there are not so many ifs." β
I sighed and said, "If everything has to be so absolute, won't you always push yourself into a corner?" Look at Yun Niang, I think I can die as soon as I die, but how uncomfortable it is for the living, do you want Que'er to become the next courtesy? β
At the mention of Li Gongzi, Fu Ye gasped fiercely, and burst into tears, as if in her heart, Li Gongzi made her more reluctant than Finch.
