Chapter Twenty-Three: Heart-to-Heart
In the previous life, Suo Chun took the initiative to leave the Hou Mansion, and Zhixia and Juqiu were asked by Lin Jiuniang to leave the Hou Mansion.
Only in the falling winter, Lin Jiuniang asked her to leave the Hou Mansion several times, but she was extremely unwilling, and insisted on staying by Lin Jiuniang's side.
Luo Dong is a straightforward girl, seeing that Bai Xiuyang, the son of the world, has a cold attitude towards Lin Jiuniang and a perfunctory tone, she is angry and has hugged Lin Jiuniang a few times.
Bai Xiuyang held a grudge against her because of this, and secretly laid a poisonous plan.
One day, he took advantage of the time when Lin Jiuniang went to ask Mrs. Hou Shurong to greet the county lord, and called Luodong to a secluded place, intending to mistreat her.
In the middle of the struggle, he knocked over the vase on the shelf, attracting the attention of others.
Bai Xiuyang bit back, saying that it was Luo Dong who seduced and tempted her, and she reprimanded her a few words, so she was ashamed and broke the vase.
Lin Jiuniang and Luo Dong grew up together since childhood, so they naturally understand her temperament and don't believe Bai Xiuyang's words.
Luo Dong has always defended herself, and she has been disrespectful to Bai Xiuyang several times, if she intends to seduce Bai Xiuyang, why bother?
Besides, if Luo Dong deliberately seduces Bai Xiuyang, how can the clothes on his body be torn?
But at that time, she had already been suppressed by Bai Xiuyang to the point that she had no ego, she didn't dare to make decisions about anything, and she only dared to listen to Bai Xiuyang in everything.
Therefore, when Bai Xiuyang ordered Luo Dong to be expelled from the Hou Mansion, she only begged for Luo Dong in vain, and then watched Luo Dong being driven out of the Hou Mansion.
Later, she secretly asked her eldest brother Lin Zhilan to help take care of Luodong, and Lin Zhilan later told her that Luodong married a wealthy family in the same village, and her small life was not bad.
At that time, she just let go of her hanging heart a little.
But half a year later, she learned from Lin Zhilan's personal maid Bamboo Flute that Luo Dong had already died.
After Luodong was expelled from the Hou Mansion, he returned to the Lin family and told Lin Zhilan everything about what happened to Lin Jiuniang in the Hou Mansion.
Lin Zhilan was furious and came to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, wanting to find Bai Xiuyang, the prince of the world, to understand.
Bai Xiuyang flatly denied it, insisting that it was Luo Dong who failed to seduce him, framed himself, and in addition, he ridiculed Lin Zhilan.
Bai Xiu Yang Gui is the son of the loyal and brave marquis, and at that time, he relied on the Lin family's silver to catch up with Gong Guifei, the favorite concubine of today's saint, and the future is already very good. The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is no longer the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion that had no name and had to beg the Lin family for silver.
Even though Lin Zhilan was full of anger, he was helpless, so he had to return to the Lin family with hatred and humiliation.
Who knew that Luo Dong was a fierce one, no matter how Lin Zhilan persuaded him, he refused to leave the Lin family to marry, but just blindly begged Lin Zhilan to give Lin Jiuniang the decision and save her from the tiger and wolf den of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
Lin Zhilan was in a dilemma, and he fell ill immediately and was bedridden for more than half a month.
As soon as Lin Zhilan fell ill, the Lin family's business was immediately affected, and the Lin family's mansion was panicked for a while, and the falling winter became the target of everyone.
Luodong was only a girl in her early twenties at the time, and she couldn't bear such a blow for a while, so she threw herself into the well without thinking about it, and when the mother-in-law fished her up, she was out of breath.
Upon learning of Luodong's death, Lin Jiuniang cried for half a night.
If it weren't for her vanity and shallowness, how could Luo Dong follow her into the tiger and wolf's den of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion?
If it weren't for her cowardice and incompetence, how could she cause Luodong to suffer the most unbearable humiliation from a woman?
If it weren't for her unkindness, how could she cause Luodong to lose confidence in life and finally commit suicide in despair?
She didn't kill Luo Dong with her own hands, but Luo Dong died because of her, and she will always owe Luo Dong a life.
After being reborn, every time she saw the falling winter, she felt very sorry.
She tried to fade away this painful memory, so after being reborn, she always restrained herself from recalling these unbearable memories.
However, every time she sees the lock of spring, knowing summer, autumn and winter, she will feel that she has an obligation to give them a good home.
She didn't complain about Suo Chun, Zhixia and Qiu Qiu in her previous life and abandoned her and left the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
Because, if Suochun and the others stayed in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, the fate in the future would definitely be the same as that of Luodong, either they would be ruined by Bai Xiuyang, or they would be driven out of the Hou Mansion by Bai Xiuyang.
Because in Bai Xiuyang's view, Lin Jiuniang is just a tool used to collect money from the Lin family.
Since it is a tool, you don't have to have your own ideas, let alone your own emotions, it is best to be a clay carved wood sculpture, kneaded and flattened by yourself, smashed and discarded by yourself.
In this life, Lin Jiuniang doesn't want to be someone else's tool anymore, and she doesn't want others to be her own tool.
She wants to be a living person, and she also wants the people around her to be a living person, without having to suffer unnecessary pain because of herself.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuniang asked with a wry smile: "What if, the situation is reversed, it is Suochun and them who escaped, and I am the one who was captured by the bandits?" Mama will think that Suo Chun should return to save me, or should she just take care of her own life and run for her life? ”
"Of course it won't work!" Mama Han said categorically, "They are the servants of the Lin family, and their lives belong to the Lin family, so naturally they can't do such a rebellious thing!" If such a thing really happened, the Lin family would never let them go, and it would not be an exaggeration to beat them to death! ”
"Why? Because my lives are precious, and their lives are low? ”
Mama Han sighed and said, "Miss Nine, fate is determined by heaven. Your life is more valuable than theirs, that's ...... A natural thing. ”
"Really?" Lin Jiuniang smiled sarcastically, "Then what if I meet someone whose life is more expensive than mine?" Am I just going to let him mess with him and let him play with it? Just because my life is not as expensive as his? ”
Mama Han was speechless for a while.
Lin Jiuniang looked at Mama Han gently and said, "Mama, I know that you are for my good, so you will say such heartfelt words to me." But I Lin Jiuniang don't feel that my life is more precious than anyone else's, and similarly, I don't feel that my life is cheaper than anyone else. Since I regard them as sisters, I will never watch them fall into the mouth of the tiger. In the same way, if one day you or Sister Yingniang encounter any difficulties, I will do my best to help you get through it, not for anything else, but for the friendship between us. ”
Mama Han looked at Lin Jiuniang in a daze, and her eyes were wet for a while.
"Miss Nine...... You remind me of someone. ”
Lin Jiuniang was stunned and said, "Who?" ”
"Yuhua True King, really, you are very similar to him."
Lin Jiuniang thought for a moment, then reacted, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Really? ”
Mama Han nodded seriously and said, "Really, although I haven't seen the true king of Yuhua with my own eyes, you are as sympathetic and compassionate as him." ”
Lin Jiuniang didn't take Mama Han's words too seriously.
Because of what happened in her previous life, she no longer has a good impression of the aristocratic family.
Bai Xiuyang is just a loyal and brave prince, and he is already so vicious, arrogant and mean.
These noble children, who were born with noble bloodlines and have long been accustomed to looking at people with their nostrils, can they really look at the commoners who are inferior to them with equal eyes?
I guess it's just a show!
