Chapter 209: I Don't Remember
"And it came to pass that when I woke up, I was already lying in the pit of the col, and I didn't remember much about the previous events except my name. And if it weren't for the wolf coming, maybe it would have been buried. Cui'er sat on a chair in the main hall and told the story of what happened after she woke up.
Waking up from the half-buried pit is the most incomprehensible point for Cui'er this year, what did the original owner go through? Did her family bury her, and why did she bury her in an uninhabited mountain? This is the place in Cui'er's heart that she can't let go of the identity of the original owner.
"You say, you were buried?" Ye Qing's face suddenly turned pale, although for Cui'er's disappearance, the family had a vague feeling that she had been killed, and when it was really confirmed, even if Cui'er was sitting in front of her now, Ye Qing's heart was still very uncomfortable.
"It's the eldest brother who didn't take care of you!" Ye Qing blamed herself, and her good-looking brows furrowed tightly.
Ye Qing secretly regretted that he had been busy with business in recent years, busy with making the Ye family's tea garden more, making the Ye family's tea more famous, and making the Ye family's momentum more powerful, but he ignored Cui'er, the younger sister who was held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, thinking that as long as he picked a good family for her and gave her a lot of dowry, it would be enough...... But he didn't expect that under his nose, someone would actually start Cui'er's idea, and he succeeded in killing it.
"Who is it that wants to harm me?" Cui'er looked at Ye Qing and asked softly, and she already recognized that the current white-robed boy was the eldest brother of her original owner.
After the appraisal of the money shopkeeper just now, the seal of the Ye family firm on Ye Qing's body is real. It is also true that Ye Qing is the head of the Ye family's business house, whether the Ye family has a lost daughter, as long as you go to Huxi to inquire about this matter, you can find it clear, Ye Qing has no need to deceive people for such a thing.
"Who is ......" Ye Qing repeated these two words fiercely, but he also asked the same question in his heart. Cui'er has been smart and kind since she was a child, and she has no possibility of making enemies with others, let alone hating her for something, hating her so much that she has to travel thousands of miles to send her to other places, and she is half dead and abandoned in the mountains.
"Could it be that there is some enemy in your family who is angry with Cui'er?" Lian Qingshan speculated that it was about Cui'er's safety. As long as the person who harmed Cui'er can't be found for a day, even Qingshan's heart can't be at peace for a day, just like if the person who harmed General Yang is not found for a day, the safety of the big girl and Xiaohu cannot be guaranteed.
"Our family has been in Huxi for a hundred years, although it is not a good family. But he never does things that bully men and women, if there is a dispute with others, most of them are because of business matters...... "Ye Qing didn't say anything to death, because his own business, although he is generally above board, it cannot be ruled out that some shopkeepers have enemies with others for personal gain.
"A merchant is a profiteer, and if he only takes a man captive, he will harm him. There is no benefit, and no one will do such a loss-making transaction. The money shopkeeper shook his head and said. By the way, after Cui'er disappeared, did anyone come to your house and ask for a ransom or something? ”
"No...... If someone came to ask for ransom, it could be regarded as a clue, after Cui'er disappeared when she put on the incense, no news came back. The old father and mother in the family don't know how much they have worried and shed many tears because of Cui'er's affairs. turned the boundary of the west of the lake upside down, and found no trace of Cui'er. Ye Qing recalled carefully for a long time. Just said that, at that time, the whole family was in chaos, and no news about Cui'er came back.
"So, what happens if I go missing?" Cui'er lowered her head and pondered for a long time, then asked.
Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lian Qingshan deeply, and then said, "You were already engaged at that time, and the time to marry was in the autumn, but because you disappeared, the matter of getting married will be over." ”
"Betrothed?" Cui'er only felt that a thunderbolt had struck, and the original owner of her body was engaged, in ancient times, it was almost like a married woman, and she was born properly and died as someone else's ghost. But now that he has become a relative to Lian Qingshan, the previous family affairs must not be accurate, it is a good thing for a family to have a woman and a family, and it is not easy for a family to marry a woman.
"Could it be that the family is not satisfied with this family affair, so they hurt Cui'er?" Even Qingshan heard that Cui'er was engaged, and his heart was suddenly raised, Cui'er was the daughter-in-law she identified, and she also gave birth to a child for herself, and even Qingshan couldn't let go of it in this life.
Now that I heard that Cui'er had been engaged, Rao is Lian Qingshan has thought about this possibility, Rao is Lian Qingshan's heart is actually very strong, and now he can't help but tremble a little, not because he doesn't believe it, but because he cares too much.
"This ...... Probably not, the betrothed family's surname is Jin, and he is also a well-known family in Huxi, originally older than our Ye family, but something happened to their family, and they need something in Cui'er's dowry to save their reputation and continue the inheritance of the family. Based on this alone, they would never want to harm Cui'er, because harming Cui'er is equivalent to harming their family. ”
"In this way, it seems unlikely that this Jin family will harm me...... Who will it be? Cui'er frowned and thought for a long time without a clue, so she had to continue to ask, "The previous me...... Are there any friendly or hostile people? ”
"Cui'er is talking about the wife or young lady of the other family?" Ye Qing listened to Cui'er's question, and followed the train of thought and continued, "You used to have a quiet temperament, and you liked cats to read books and stir-fry tea in the house on weekdays, and rarely went out to socialize with other ladies and ladies, but in the two or three years before you disappeared, you were taken out by your mother to a banquet or something, but you also met some people." ”
Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Cui'er has a few words, and likes to delve into some strange things, if the pampered ladies and ladies of other people have nothing to ask for, they will naturally not come to the front, and those who ask for something may not necessarily get into Cui'er's eyes, so over the years, in addition to herself and the wife of her second brother, there are only a few women who can talk to Cui'er.
"When you are at home, there are no female relatives who have a holiday, and you can talk to each other, except for your two sisters-in-law, there is only Miss Zhao, and later Miss Zhao got married, and after you got married, there was also a Miss Feng family who came and went with you for a while." Ye Qing said carefully, for fear that she would hurt her heart by saying that Cui'er had few friends.
"Two sisters-in-law?" Cui'er's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the person in front of her who was said to be her brother, she was used to monogamy, she couldn't believe her ears, was it what she thought? The person in front of him, who claims to be his eldest brother, actually married two wives?
"Cui'er, what do you want, is your eldest brother and I such a person?" Ye Qing's face sank after seeing Cui'er's surprised expression, and she didn't have to think about it, Cui'er's little head must have misunderstood what she said about the two sisters-in-law.
"Cui'er, our father and mother have a total of four of our brothers and sisters, I am your eldest brother, called Ye Qing, and your second brother is called Ye Bi, you are the third brother named Ye Cui, and there is a younger brother named Ye Lu. The two sisters-in-law I'm talking about are my wife Xia and your second brother's wife Zhao, don't think too much! Ye Qing really loved and hated his clever and naughty sister, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Alas, you, sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking in your head!" ”
"Oh...... I know......" Cui'er was not annoyed after being said, as if she was always being told such words, after sticking out her tongue, she didn't think too much, and continued to care about her own victimization.
"I was caught thousands of miles away, it doesn't seem to be for money, the hands and feet of the people who do it are not neat, it doesn't seem to be a professional kidnapper, and it is not seeking revenge, what is the reason?" Cui'er pondered while chattering, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't understand her own affairs, but because she used her brain too much, she forcibly recalled the past things, and she couldn't give herself a headache.
"Cui'er, are you alright?" Even Qingshan looked at Cui'er's pale face, and didn't care about the presence of his brother-in-law Ye Qing, so he hurriedly hugged Cui'er in his arms and asked with concern.
"Cui'er, what's wrong with you?" Ye Qing, who also found that Cui'er was wrong, also rushed over, but because he was far away from Cui'er, Lian Qingshan took the lead and was not able to move forward.
"Cui'er needs to rest, she's out of company!" Lian Qingshan has a very complicated feeling about this uncle who failed to protect Cui'er, he is Cui'er's eldest brother, but he failed to protect Cui'er, causing her to be killed thousands of miles away.
It is precisely because of Cui'er's murder that Lian Qingshan can meet Cui'er, and Lian Qingshan is grateful for such a fate, but it does not mean that he hopes that Cui'er will be hurt even a little. Therefore, Lian Qingshan wanted to respect Ye Qing as his eldest brother, but he was annoyed that he failed to protect Cui'er and made her suffer so much, under such an emotion, Lian Qingshan only pursed his lips, didn't say much, picked up Cui'er and walked to the back room.
"Cui'er's body is so bad?" Ye Qing originally looked at Cui'er's plumper appearance than before, thinking that with this reckless brother-in-law's kindness to Cui'er, Cui'er's life should be good, why did Cui'er look very weak after such a while?
"Cui'er hasn't been out of confinement for a long time, so naturally she needs to recuperate, and Qingshan is too anxious about Cui'er, don't you mind." Mrs. Qian was busy helping to play the round and said.
"Cui'er, confinement?" Ye Qing was stunned by this sudden news, and looked at Mrs. Qian who said this in a daze, Cui'er has only been away from home for more than a year, why did she get married and give birth to a child so quickly?
"Yes, I gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, not to mention how cute they look!" Speaking of soft and small bags, Mrs. Qian smiled, and happily introduced the stunned Ye Qing, and said that the little brother and sister were in the sky and the earth, which made Ye Qing involuntarily look forward to it.
