Chapter 22: Tangled

"Uncle Du, thank you for doing this for your father and brothers, Ying'er can't repay it, please accept Ying'er's worship!" Wan Liang said that he was going to kneel down and give Du Heng a big salute.

"Ying'er, I can't help it. Uncle Du is ashamed! Back then, seeing Brother Mu being beheaded by the emperor because of the letter to the king of a paper collaborating with the enemy and treason, Uncle Du couldn't help anything, and watched Brother Mu's family and the family die...... "Du Heng felt deeply guilty and cried when he thought that he had seen that the emperor had the intention to get rid of Brother Mu, and chose to use silence to protect himself.

"Uncle Du, you say...... Back then, did the king say that his father was 'collaborating with the enemy and treason'? Is it Zhoushan Xinwang Xuanyuan Yi? Uncle Du, are you sure it's him? Wan Liang suddenly looked nervous and said in disbelief.

"It was him, it was Xuanyuan Yi who colluded with the emperor back then, and caused Brother Mu to die unjustly. Several veteran ministers who are still serving in the DPRK and China are aware of this matter. Uncle Du is really ashamed! knew that the emperor had the intention to get rid of Brother Mu, so he chose Mingzhe to protect himself. I couldn't help Brother Mu back then, not to mention, the people sent out even lost you in Zhoushan, and almost couldn't even keep Brother Mu's only bloodline for him. Fortunately, the sky has eyes! You're alive and well! Du Heng didn't have a good impression of his brother-in-law Xuanyuan Yi, who loved his sister to death. In his opinion, Xuanyuan Yi completely lost his deep affection for his sister.

"In this way, it is really Xuanyuan Yi who caused my Mu family to be beheaded." It's a thunderbolt on a sunny day! Why did God play so tricks on her! finally persuaded herself to love, however, it turned out to be her beloved, Xuanyuan Chen's father, and a piece of paper sent her Mu family to the guillotine! No matter how much she loves Xuanyuan Chen, no matter how many reasons she has, she can't convince herself to marry him, and she will grow old with his children and grandchildren......

"Ying'er, the emperor had the intention of getting rid of your father back then. I also went down to the court several times to persuade Brother Mu to resign and retire as soon as possible, but Brother Mu said that if the emperor had the heart to get rid of him, he would not be able to escape. The world is not the king's land, where can he retreat, and he also has two sons who serve in the army. It's just that I didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless, and he actually punished Brother Mu's family for the nine clans......" Du Heng felt very sad when he recalled that year, and he couldn't say it anymore. Suddenly remembered something and said: "Ying'er, now you listen to Uncle Du, Zhoushan is the fief of King Xin, and it is not easy for you to stay for a long time." After this plague is over, you and your nurse will go to Ding'an Town, Yuanlu, and go to 'Dujiabao'. The lord of the castle is Du Yi, the cousin of Uncle Du, and your grandfather, General Ye Liang, once saved his life from him, and if you go, he will definitely take care of you. Five years ago, your father, Wang Eniang, discussed with Uncle Du, and originally arranged for you to defect to 'Dujiabao', but later sent someone who secretly protected you to report that you had not yet reached Yuanlu, and you were nowhere to be found in Zhoushan...... It's okay, it's good that you're okay. ”

"Uncle Du, don't you know, in order to protect me, the nurse has been there five years ago......" Wanliang still thinks of the nurse and can't help but tears in her eyes.

"That'...... Poor child...... You must have suffered a lot by yourself, didn't you? Du Heng didn't dare to think about how much suffering Wanliang had endured to live alone to this day, but she was a pearl in the palm of her hand by her parents since she was a child.

"It's not bitter, I met a kind lady, she took me in and treated me like a daughter, so it's not bitter." Wan Liang thought of something and pleaded: "Uncle Du, is it really possible for my mother to be alive?" Uncle Du, can you take me back to Yandu to find Eniang? ”

"Ying'er, the emperor is ruthless today, you go back to Yandu with Uncle Du, if the emperor's people find out that you are still alive, you will inevitably die. In the past five years, I have not stopped secretly looking for the whereabouts of your E-Niang, and if she is in Yandu, it is impossible for the people I sent to find out at all. Ying'er, you go to 'Dujiabao' is the long-term solution. If you continue to stay in Zhoushan, don't tell anyone about your background. As if remembering something, Du Heng took out a token made of bronze in the shape of a wolf's head and a token with the word "Du" engraved on the back and handed it to Wanliang, and continued to say kindly: "Ying'er, take it." This is a unique token of the Du family, if you go to the 'Du Family Fort' in the future, show this to the family members who guard the door, and they will take you to see my cousin. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Du." Wan Liang took the token and said with sincere gratitude.

After that, Du Heng repeatedly told Wanliang that if he stayed in Zhoushan, he must not let people know his life. After chatting like this for nearly an hour, Du Heng felt that he should tell Wanliang about it, so he said goodbye to Wanliang and went to his own business.

"She is the daughter of a sinner, a person who should have died a long time ago! Brother Chen must not know yet. Brother Chen was deceived by her. No, I have to find a way to tell Brother Chen that I can't marry her, she is the daughter of a criminal minister. However, she was sent out of Yandu by her father, if she said that it would be passed on to the emperor, wouldn't her father also be implicated, can't it be said! After listening to her father's conversation with Wanliang, Lian Yi kept thinking about it in her heart. Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and warned Zhu Tao very seriously: "What I heard today, I must not say a word!" Otherwise, I'll rip out your tongue! ”

"Miss, Zhutao doesn't dare! Zhu Tao listened to Miss and promised not to say a word. Zhutao immediately knelt down and said.

"Better remember! Get up. Du Lian said. continued to think in her mind: "Since she already knows that it was Brother Chen's father who harmed her family, then she must hate her uncle very much, so will she not marry Brother Chen because of this?" If she leaves Brother Chen because of this, won't there be no one to rob Brother Chen from her? Finally, no one snatched away his brother Chen! Thinking of this, Du Lianyi was indescribably happy in her heart, and she was suddenly in a good mood, but she didn't realize that her face was already showing a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhu Tao saw that Miss was still very serious just now, and after a while, she smiled brightly and was a little confused. It's been a long time since I've seen Miss in such a good mood, and at this time, when she sees Miss happy, she is also happy.

Since Wanliang knew that it was Xuanyuan Chen's father, Xuanyuan Yi, who framed his father for "collaborating with the enemy and treason", which led to the destruction of the Mu family, she decided in her heart that it would be impossible to be Xuanyuan Chen's wife in this life. Even if Emperor Wu wanted to get rid of his father, if there was no Xuanyuan Yi to frame his father, Emperor Wu would have no reason to behead the Mu family. But he was the father of Chen, who saved her several times, and she couldn't kill him to avenge her hatred; But I can't do it in the future, and one day I will call him my father.

Wanliang thought about it in her heart, and finally decided to listen to Uncle Du's advice and go to "Dujiabao". Since "Dujiabao" was the escape place arranged for her by her father Eniang after discussing with Uncle Du, if Eniang was really alive, she would definitely think of going to "Dujiabao" to find her. Is E-Niang really alive? E-Niang, where are you?

In the past few days, although Wanliang has been giving porridge and medicine to the victims as usual, her heart has become a mess. She wanted to go to "Dujiabao", how to tell the eldest mother and Brother Niu? Or take the eldest mother and Brother Niu to "Dujiabao" together? If she wants to repent of her marriage, how can she tell Xuanyuan Chen? What the hell is she going to do?

In the evening, Wanliang had just eaten dinner, so she sat in front of the dresser in the room, holding her cheek with one hand and thinking about things. Suddenly being gently hugged from behind, she didn't have to think about it to know that it was Xuanyuan Chen, because he often hugged her from behind like this, and he also had a unique manly aura on his body, as long as he got close to her, she knew that it was him. Wan Liang didn't even realize that she knew him so well.

"Awan, are you thinking about me? I miss you so much! "I haven't returned to Liuyun Pavilion for four days, I haven't seen Awan for four days, Xuanyuan Chen really misses her.

Wanliang was very entangled in her heart, and she didn't know how to face Xuanyuan Chen, so she pulled away the arm that surrounded her, stood up and walked straight to the bed, and said coldly: "Chen, you go out, I'm a little tired today and want to rest." ”

"Awan, are you uncomfortable? I'll take a look......" Xuanyuan Chen said as he reached out to touch Wanliang's forehead.

"I didn't feel sick in any way, I just was a little tired and wanted to rest." Wan Liang helped Xuanyuan Chen's hand to her forehead.

"What's wrong? Ah Wan ......, "Xuanyuan Chen saw that Wan Liang was very cold to him today, as if he was angry. And what did he do badly? Could it be that Lian Yi is in trouble with her again? Thinking so, he looked at her and promised seriously: "Awan, no matter who says anything, don't believe it." Chen doesn't have any 'childhood sweethearts', Chen only loves Awan in this life and this life, and will only marry Awan! ”

"Chen, I'm really just sleepy and want to sleep. You go out. After Wan Liang finished speaking, he lay down on the bed, turned sideways, facing inward with his back to Xuanyuan Chen. Now she didn't know what to do with him.

"Awan......" Xuanyuan Chen called out in disappointment. Every time Awan treats him coldly, his heart is as uncomfortable as a pinprick. He was in a good mood today, and he came back to tell her that Doctor Qin had found a good way to cure and control the plague. Knowing that she cares about the victims is undoubtedly good news for her. But she didn't want to, she didn't even want to talk to him today.

"Awan......" Xuanyuan Chen called tentatively again, and saw that Wanliang still didn't respond, so he had to reluctantly walk out of Wanliang's bedroom.

As soon as Xuanyuan Chen walked out of Wanliang's room, he called Xiaocui to the study and asked if any woman had ever gone to find Awan in the past few days. After receiving Xiao Cui's affirmative answer of "no", he was not only relieved that Lianyi did not trouble Ah Wan again, but also wondered why Ah Wan was suddenly cold to him again. Or has Awan been busy helping the victims during this time, maybe he is really tired, is he thinking too much? Thinking about it like this, his mood also improved, so he went into Wanliang's room again, and saw that Wanliang had fallen asleep, and he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart, Awan must be tired. Xuanyuan Chen reached out and touched Wanliang's forehead, made sure that there was no sign of fever, lightly kissed Wanliang's forehead, and went back to his bedroom, and then went to bed.
