485 Origins
Besides, Tuoba Jiang clearly knew the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to invite him into the palace so soon. Not to mention that he deliberately hung him for a long time just now before he took care of him, of course, even if he knew it in his heart, he couldn't show it. Tuoba Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect Chen Yuancheng to hide him, so very good, so it can be seen that he is not a stupid person.
"Oh, I see, there is a little contradiction, and it is worth the lady to run away from home with the child, this contradiction is not small!" Tuoba Jiang's thoughtful eyes made Chen Yuancheng's heart tremble, he knew the relationship between Tuoba Jiang and Nalan Fei, hearing the rumors was one thing, he personally said it from Tuoba Jiang's mouth, and when he heard it again, it was still different.
Obviously, Tuoba Jiang was standing up for Nalan Fei's mother and daughter, Chen Yuancheng took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "Qiqi Sheng, this matter is also Weichen's. Wechen's mother took it upon herself to accept two concubines for Wechen, and Wechen went to a neighboring province to have something to do and was not in the house. This time let my mother do such a reckless thing, Weichen has already had a showdown with his mother, and there is only a wife in this life, and there is a female daughter. ”
Saying this, Tuoba Jiang lifted his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently, these affectionate words came out of Chen Yuancheng's mouth, why did he not believe it so much, full of suspicion about him? Who let Nalan Fei be different from what he said, since he promised Nalan Fei to protect their mother and daughter, especially Chen Xue, that poor child, Tuoba Jiang couldn't let Chen Yuancheng be sent away with a few words.
Chen Yuancheng knew that Tuoba Jiang would not believe what he said, and the imperial study room instantly became quiet, and the atmosphere was as peaceful as a silver needle falling on the ground. Tuoba Jiang picked up the tea cup at hand, lazily scraped the tea leaves floating on the tea surface with his hands, there was a pair of scrapes, he was silent, Chen Yuancheng could only bow his head and wait for his answer, his forehead unconsciously broke out with a fine layer of fine sweat, and his back was already soaked, and the sweat was extremely uncomfortable.
Nalan Fei raised her head suddenly, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at her father-in-law in front of her in surprise who had informed her that Chen Yuancheng had entered the palace. Isn't Chen Yuancheng still in a neighboring province, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back? She and Chen Xue were scheduled to return to Beijing in less than ten days, and he couldn't wait to chase after him, for fear of affecting his reputation, Nalan Fei's pursed lips were cold, and he had never resented Chen Yuancheng from the bottom of his heart like at this moment.
Since Chen Yuancheng was unwilling to marry her, he should have resisted to the end in the first place, why did he marry her and let her be bullied by her mother-in-law, even if she didn't say it, these things could reach Chen Yuancheng's ears. The reason why she was reluctant to open her mouth to sue was because she didn't want to be a long-tongued woman who told right and wrong, but she didn't expect Chen Yuancheng to turn a blind eye to this, maybe he secretly rejoiced that it was too late, how could he help her?
In Nalan Fei's quiet long eyes, a trace of coldness suddenly flashed, and she thanked her father-in-law, and then took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and threw it to her father-in-law, she understands the world, and her father-in-law can't tell her the news for no reason, not for this money.
The father-in-law took the silver with a smile and turned to leave, and then it was up to Nalan Fei to make his own choice. Nalan Fei glanced back at Chen Xue who was lying on the bed talking to Tuoba Hong, Chen Xue was accompanied by Tuoba Hong in the palace, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine and carefully boiled the decoction in the imperial dining room, her face was a lot ruddy, and the spirit of the whole person was much better.
As a mother, she was of course happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw all this, and she was even more unwilling to let Chen Xue leave the capital. Nalan Fei put down the needle and thread in his hand, took a few deep breaths, and said to the palace people one after another, taking care of them. She squeezed the back of her hand unhurriedly and walked towards the imperial study, what should come will always come, she must be strong for Chen Xue!
Knowing that Nalan Fei was out to see, Tuoba Jiang's face sank slightly, what did she do at this time, and after thinking about it, since Nalan Fei came, it meant that she and Chen Yuancheng had to make a decision, and it seemed that it was not bad for him to be a witness. Then Tuoba Jiang nodded, and openly went to invite Nalan Fei in. Chen Yuancheng was still kneeling on the ground, Nalan Fei was dressed in white plain clothes, and there was no dress on her head, and she still couldn't hide her noble temperament, only with an emerald green bracelet on her wrist, which was a relic left by Nalan Fei's biological mother and handed over to her by Tuoba Jiang. Chen Yuancheng felt Nalan Fei's breath, of course, he was in the imperial study, he couldn't be rude. Nalan Fei smiled and asked Tuoba Jiang to say goodbye, and Tuoba Jiang smiled lightly: "Okay, get up!" What are you doing here? ”
Deliberately frowning and asking, Nalan Fei's eyebrows only moved slightly, and he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, "Back to the saint, I heard that Lord Chen has entered the palace, and the concubine wants to come to see him, count the words that should be said clearly, and of course I also want to ask the saint to witness for the concubine and Lord Chen!" "Since you are here, you have to make a decision, and you can't continue to make mistakes. Chen Yuancheng's eyes were closed, and he could probably guess what Nalan Fei was going to say at this moment.
Tuoba Jiang was silent for a moment, "Mrs. Chen, it's better to make it clear about you and Lord Chen earlier." Since you are both here, then say that I am willing to bear witness to you. Nalan Fei lowered her head slightly: "Thank you to the saint for the concubine." Then he took a few deep breaths and looked at Chen Yuancheng, "Lord Chen, you and I have been husband and wife for more than five years, since we don't like each other, let's make peace in front of the saint!" ”
The two words Heli jumped out of Nalan Fei's mouth lightly, even though Chen Yuancheng had already prepared in his heart, when this sentence really came out of Nalan Fei's mouth, especially in front of Tuoba River, at this moment Chen Yuancheng's heart was extremely tormented and uncomfortable, as if he was in dire straits. He looked at Nalan Fei quietly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, we haven't reached the point of reconciliation yet, we can discuss something." ”
"Discuss?" Nalan Fei hooked her lips and sneered, undisguised her ridicule at him, these two words were worthy of Chen Yuancheng's words. "Lord Chen, don't say the two words casually. There is no way to discuss between us at all, I have been married to the Chen family for more than five years, and I have never done anything to be sorry for the Chen family. But don't you know how your Chen family treated me and Xue'er? Do you need me to say it one by one in front of the saints? "For the sake of Chen Xue, Nalan Fei will go out today, not afraid of tearing his face with Chen Yuancheng, and then continuing to fight with the mud, it will hurt Chen Xue.
Tuoba Jiang pursed his lips and stared at Chen Yuancheng without saying a word, he was still a spectator at the moment. Chen Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, it was undeniable that he really didn't know what Nalan Fei was talking about, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat was like a blockage of cotton cloth, and he couldn't speak.
Since Nalan Fei has torn her face, she is also fearless, "Okay, then I will say it one by one, so that the Holy Lord can make a judgment." Then she said slowly, telling the past that she had been backlogged in her heart and had been sealed for many years, when she was forced by her parents to die and marry far away from the border. When she arrived at the Chen Mansion, she was alone, even if she was nominally the head of the Chen Mansion, but in fact, the power was in the hands of her mother-in-law Bai.
The subordinates in the house have never regarded her as a young lady, and they are very strict with her food and clothing. Chen Yuancheng ignored this, and later she became pregnant, originally thinking that her mother-in-law could be kind to her. Unexpectedly, she still deducted her food and clothing, and in front of outsiders, her mother-in-law also laughed at her for being so natural and like to be thrifty.
also said that Nalan Fei once had a relationship with Tuoba Jiang, saying that she failed to fly on the branches to be a phoenix, but Chen Yuancheng suffered. At that moment, she suddenly realized that her mother-in-law didn't like her at all, and she and Tuoba Jiang mattered, but how could she decide this, so her mother-in-law would treat her like this.
It has nothing to do with whether she is pregnant or not, after she gave birth to Chen Xue, her mother-in-law saw that it was not a grandson, and turned around and left on the spot. When she was confined, even though her mother-in-law didn't like Chen Xue, she ordered her grandmother to carry her over, unwilling to let her see Chen Xue. But when she needed her husband, her husband was not in the house at all, and when he returned to the house, he only listened to Bai's side of the story, and did not give her the right to speak at all, but reprimanded her.
Nalan Fei was originally a woman with an extremely arrogant heart, and she was misunderstood like this, she would not pull down her face to explain to Chen Yuancheng. Chen Yuancheng, as General Zhenyuan, is absent from the mansion all the year round, and the days he lives in the mansion every year add up to less than a month. Usually accompanied by her mother-in-law Bai, as well as the descendants of Baifu, under their meanness, it is indeed not easy for her to raise Chen Xue.
The dowry of the year was almost pawned by her, and Chen Xue's body became weaker and weaker, and a kind doctor reminded her that she couldn't continue, and she had to change Chen Xue to a better environment, Kyoto has a mild climate, which is the most suitable for raising people. Nalan Fei kept this in her heart, and her mother-in-law saw that her stomach had not moved, so she scolded her behind her back for being a scourge, and she couldn't hold her grandson.
In addition, the mother-in-law also found a matchmaker to find a concubine for Chen Yuancheng, and she and Chen Xue had no reason to continue to stay in Chen's mansion. So on the night when the Bai family welcomed the two concubines into the mansion, they took advantage of the chaos, disguised themselves and left the Chen Mansion with Chen Xue, and they were able to arrive in Kyoto safely, which was God's favor for their mother and daughter.
When Nalan Fei was talking, her eyes were rosy from time to time, and every time she recalled this, she resented herself, why couldn't she be stronger in the first place, and completely desperate to resist this family business. The most unforgivable thing for her is that her father and mother passed away, and her mother-in-law insisted on letting her stay and serve her under the pretext that she was unwell. After Nalan Fei said these faint sighs, she raised her head to prevent the tears in her eyes from falling, in fact, she said the things that had been accumulated in her heart for many years, and she felt much more comfortable in her heart.
She didn't say these things to Tuoba Jiang, but said that her mother-in-law didn't like her and Chen Xue, and she had accepted two concubines for Chen Yuancheng, and she didn't want to stay in Chen's mansion anymore, hoping to get his help. Now Tuoba Jiang has a little more pity for Nalan Fei, and he still thinks that Chen Yuancheng is a reliable person, so he will entrust Nalan Fei to him.
But he didn't expect that Nalan Fei had suffered a lot in the more than five years he had been married, no matter what, he couldn't sit idly by and ignore the gossip staring at it. Chen Yuancheng opened his mouth slightly, he really didn't know many things, every time his mother told him that Nalan Fei had a cold temperament and didn't like to come into contact with people, plus she liked to be thrifty, so she would reduce her food and clothing by half.
Mother also sighed from time to time, saying that Nalan Fei was arrogant and didn't bring Chen Xue to greet her at all. In fact, it wasn't at all, the Bai clan didn't want to see Nalan Fei's bewitching face, so he had already saved her from morning and dusk. In front of Chen Yuancheng, Bai's words were wrong.
Even the two-room concubine room in Xinna, what the Bai family said was that Nalan Fei personally took Zhang Luo for him, and he felt that he couldn't stand Chen Yuancheng, and he had been married for five years, and he hadn't given birth to a son for him. Chen Yuancheng immediately endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, he was unwilling to take a concubine, it was enough to have Nalan Fei and Chen Xue. I don't know how many times I've told Bai, why can't she listen? Later, when he learned that Nalan Fei ran away from home with Chen Xue, he vaguely felt that the development of the situation was beyond his expectations.
Ignoring the obstruction of the Bai family, he asked Tuoba Jiang Kamika to return to Kyoto to visit his relatives. At that time, Tuoba Jiang didn't know that Nalan Fei was wronged in the Chen family, so he readily agreed. It is undeniable that Chen Yuancheng was loyal to Warat and had been stationed at the border for Warat for many years. He had no reason to object, if he knew about Nalan Fei's mother and daughter, he might not agree so happily.
"Lord Chen, I don't want to mention a lot of things before, but now we will leave in front of the saint, Xue'er, she is weak. You must continue the string in the future, or let her stay by my side, from now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other, and we will be cut in two. Nalan Fei's eyes were resolute, he couldn't drag mud and water, he had to be quick to cut the mess.
Chen Yuancheng licked his lips slightly, bent down, held his chest, opened his mouth slightly, he really couldn't breathe, an iron blue face, because of anger and chagrin, so hideous that people didn't dare to look at it directly. Nalan Fei smiled at Tuoba Jiang frankly, signaling that there was no need to worry about her, and she gritted her teeth in the painful days.
Tuoba Jiang felt sorry for Nalan Fei from the bottom of his heart, even if he didn't have a relationship between men and women for Nalan Fei now, they were still friends, and the beauty of the past still stayed in his mind and lingered. Chen Yuancheng used all his strength for a while, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, madam, I really don't know these things, no matter how much I explain at this time, I believe you won't be able to listen." I just hope you can think about it for Cher, she's too young to live without a father. Wechen is very grateful to the saint for taking in the clumsy mother and daughter, but after all, the palace is not a place to stay for a long time, for the sake of the saint's reputation, Wechen can't let them stay in the palace. ”
"Chen Yuancheng, what qualifications do you have to say these words, since Xue'er was born, you have cared about her a few times. Not to mention hugging her and coaxing her, Chen Yuancheng, don't say these things in front of the saint. Since I have decided to stay in the palace, it is useless to persuade anyone. Holy honor, don't force us to leave with you under the guise of thinking about the saint. Chen Yuancheng, just let our mother and daughter go! Nalan Fei roared hoarsely, her body couldn't help but tremble, pinching her palms, and her half-inch-long nails were pinched into the flesh.
Tuoba Jiang came to glance lightly, and saw Chen Yuancheng's eyes, almost subconsciously twisted his eyebrows, and the look of disgust and disappointment swept away, he didn't care about the suffering that Nalan Fei said in the Chen Mansion just now, such a ruthless and unrighteous person, why did Nalan Fei still wronged himself?
