Chapter 52: The Rosewood Box

My mother looked at me in surprise, her face was pale, and she bit her lip and spit out a sentence with difficulty in response to my question, "Yes, since Da Xilan came to the mansion, I hated her, because she took away all the love of my lord." ”

From this sentence, I have come to understand that my mother loves my father very much. A woman's heart is jealous, and so is her mother.

I can understand my mother's loneliness, but no matter how much I hate a person, I can't be a killer. Mother is close to madness -

"Then why did Aunt He leave Gaofu?" I wanted to know everything, glaring at her.

My mother sneered, as if she didn't want to hide any more questions from me.

After the mother hesitated, she talked about the incident.

It turned out that after that night, her mother was often scared and often had nightmares at night, and Aunt He, who was serving her at that time, was very heartfelt to her, and her mother believed in her very much, so she told her about her assassination of Da Xilan. And I told it along with what I had seen her.

It's just that later, my mother regretted it, regretting that she had told Aunt He everything, afraid that she would betray herself one day.

The mother's heart couldn't tolerate Aunt He, and tried her best to drive her away.

Once, her mother poisoned Aunt He's water, making her dumb and making her unable to speak anymore.

Her mother didn't want to kill her, she just didn't want her to tell her secret.

After Aunt He lost her voice, her mother kicked her out of the house.

Hearing her mother say this, her cruelty is really unbelievable, a seemingly cowardly woman is so vicious in her heart.

"All the wrong things that my mother did, these fathers may not know, right?" My tone was still light.

The mother's eyes were deep, "He doesn't know anything other than knowing that you are not his own." ”

I laughed, "What if my father knew?" ”

Mother sneered, "Then how can I Jiang Keyu have a seat in this high mansion, he will kill me to avenge Da Xilan." ”

I scoffed.

Mother is also afraid, afraid of losing a place in this high mansion?

I fixed my expression, "Mother knew the third aunt when she didn't enter the Gao Mansion yet, right?" ”

The mother smiled dumbly, her face stiffened.

She never imagined that I would ask such a question.

"Who told you, Ju Yang?"

The mother was a little out of control, and her hands were shaking.

"Mother doesn't care who tells her daughter, mother just says yes or no?"

Mother stroked her forehead, and said slowly, "Yes, Da Xilan is the senior sister of Yi Hun's daughter Yi Huan, at that time, when I was still in Gaofu, Yi Huan took Da Xilan back to Gaofu once, and I saw her once." ”

When I asked my mother about Da Xilan, I wanted to know more about Yi Hua.

I frowned inadvertently and whispered calmly, "The night the third aunt died, didn't Yi Huan come?" ”

My mother raised her eyes and looked at me lightly, "Rong'er remembers everything about that night?" ”

"Yes, I saw everything outside the window, and the woman in black who pointed the sword at the third aunt is Yihua, isn't it!"

Mother didn't say no.

She is silent, and silence means yes.

"But aren't they sisters? Why did Yi Hua assassinate the third aunt? "I was really confused about the assassination that night.

The mother was stunned and sighed lightly, "Rong'er, this has nothing to do with you, and it was many years ago, why do you need to know this." ”

My face was full of doubts. "Mother doesn't want to say?"

The corners of my mother's mouth twitched, "I don't know very well. ”

Mother really doesn't know, but I don't think she wants to say.

I looked at her quietly, her eyes a little evasive.

I changed the subject, "And where is Eto, does Mother know?"

The mother shook her head expressionlessly, "I haven't seen her again after that night." ”

When I didn't think I needed to ask any more, and when Yuyou got up, my mother called me, "Rong'erβ€”"

I turned my back to her and said coldly: "Mother, please rest assured, I will not tell anyone about the wrong things my mother has done, but my daughter hopes that her mother will have a kind heart in the future."

I had barely taken a step when my mother stopped me again, "Wait a minute. ”

I turned around and stood still, not knowing what my mother was going to do.

Mother took out a rosewood box from her dresser drawer and handed it to me.

"There is a pill in this box, which was left by the divine doctor after you fell into the water, saying that it was a pill that was specifically left for you and could save your life, when you were still young, the divine doctor asked your mother to keep it for you."

I took the box, looked at her indifferently, and walked out coldly.

Back at my Qiushui House, I sat at the table and looked at the red sandalwood box that my mother had given me, a small square box, the box was very old, but the pattern on the outside of the box was still very clear.

The box is exquisite.

I took it in my hand and checked it repeatedly, and saw a small word engraved at the bottom of the box, which was the word "Cui".

Upon opening the box, inside was a round pill, black.

A strong smell of medicine wafted into my nose.

I covered it and looked at it quietly, wondering why the miracle doctor had left me a pill.

Could it be that I am afraid that I will be hurt again in the future?

However, the miracle doctor is really responsible.

At night, I was still looking at the painting at the table, and she was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she painted it.

In the painting, she smiled slightly, not dressed in the kind of ladies who served beautifully, but in a light light gauze flowing shirt, feeling like a person walking in the rivers and lakes.

The hair ornament is just a simple bun, the feeling of long light silk fluttering in the wind, and the willow tree behind her is the same feeling as fluttering with the wind.

The background of the painting, I know, is the Valley of the Hidden Forest.

The night breeze blew through the window, and I felt a lot colder, and before I knew it, accompanied by a light breeze, the murmurful music entered my head.

I'm familiar with this song.

It's him, he should be nearby.

Why do I hear this song every time I have something to think about? And I now understand very well that it is Bai Rui who plays this song.

He's nearby...

I didn't go out, but fell asleep again in this tune.

In my sleep, I came to the world of Otokushi again. No, it should be said that it is the past of Otoku.

In the dream, it is the Youlin Valley, at the edge of the lake, Yi Hua and his senior sister Da Xilan are practicing swords on the shore of the lake, and a boat comes to the lake.

There was not only Jingqi on the boat, but also a middle-aged and elderly man.

They were both surprised to see outsiders coming in, because they rarely went to outsiders in Youlin Valley, except for Jingqi.

After the boat docked, the white wolf was already looking at the old man with a fierce look, and Yi Zhu touched the white wolf's hair, and he was also a little puzzled, who was here?

Why did Jingqi bring an outsider in?

Otoku's master came out of the house and looked at the lake in a daze.

On the boat, Xiao Jingqi was already waving at them.

Yi Hua said to the master who approached her, "Master, you see that Brother Jingqi actually brought outsiders into the valley. ”

Master Gu didn't speak, but squinted at Jing Qi and the middle-aged man going ashore.

"Uncle Gu, who do you see coming?" Xiao Jingqi said with a smile as soon as he came ashore.

After Master Gu took a closer look, he looked surprised, he could already see who it was.

The middle-aged man bowed in front of Master Gu, and when he said his name, Master Gu hugged him happily.

It turned out that Jingqi brought Master Gu's nephew, Gu Shanxiu.

Master Gu invited him into the wooden house, and called Da Xilan for tea.

After welcoming them into the house, the senior sister Da Xilan made tea for them and served them personally.

Otokushi stood under the eaves and played amusefully with the white wolf. She had no interest in this visitor.

That Gu Shanxiu lived in the valley for a day, and he just caught up with the master.

From their conversation, Etojo knew,

The master's nephew is from the Southern Song Dynasty, and this time he came to Dawei, and Mr. Gu came to find the master to miss his family.

Master Zai and Mr. Gu were chatting over tea, and she was practicing archery.

Xiao Jingqi walked over and took the sword and crossbow in her hand, and also shot towards the grass bully in the distance.

The arrow went straight into the red heart, and the second pole clapped his hands.

Xiao Jingqi said that Gu Shanxiu was a famous painter, so he pulled Yi Zhu and asked Mr. Gu to paint her portrait.

When painting the portrait, Yi Huan was very impatient, but Xiao Jingqi kept saying that he guaranteed that the painting would be you. Yi Hua also wants to see that the painter he touted really has such good painting skills?

After the painting, Otoki really liked the painting, it was indeed very similar, as if she herself was standing there.

"How? Do you like it? Xiao Jingqi raised his eyebrows and asked.

Ototsuki nodded.

Xiao Jingqi was very happy to see her smile after seeing the portrait.

And Da Xilan on the side said that he also wanted to paint a picture, but Xiao Jingqi said otherwise, "Mr. Gu is tired, let's paint it next time." ”

Seeing that Xiao Jingqi was so good to Yi Ju and indifferent to himself, Da Xilan felt a little unhappy.

When I woke up the next day, I woke up in a daze.

Yinglin told me that after seeing me fall asleep on a few cases last night, she and Zilan helped me to the bed.

Everything in the dream, I remember it clearly, the day in the secluded forest valley of Shuijing Lake, as if it was right in front of me.

I know that dreaming of Etoki again is the connection between her and me.

I already understood why I had come to that valley, and perhaps it was Etochi who was guiding me and trying to make me know everything about her.

The white wolf may be her pet, and in her dreams, she is very close to him. No wonder that the first time it saw me in the valley, it seemed to be so familiar to me that it might have taken me for its master.

Suddenly, I remembered the wolf, I had been out of the valley for so long, and I hadn't looked at it, I wondered what was going on with it?

In the dream, Da Xilan's eyes when she looked at Jingqi suddenly woke me up.

The third aunt also likes Jingqi, right?

But now that the third aunt has passed away, where is Yi Huan? Where is Jingqi?

At Qingchang Temple that day, Ju Yang didn't tell me how Otoki was now.

I was in such a hurry that I forgot to ask him.

Should I see him again?
