Chang Lehou was in a dilemma, at a loss, hearing Shao Ziqing say this, naturally he couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly ordered the guards to let go: "Since Yuehua still has important matters, and it is under the will of the saint, it is inconvenient for Benhou to interfere, so he entrusted her to Lord Shao, and Lord Shao should take good care of her." ”

"That's nature."

Lian's unforgiving people were still unwilling, he took a step forward, and before he could speak, he was secretly dragged by Chang Lehou, and said in a low voice: "Do you really want to make a big fuss and be questioned by the Queen Mother?" Have you forgotten that Yuehua will enter the palace in two days? ”

Lian Shi turned around to look at Chang Lingyan, weighing the pros and cons, he didn't want to lose a big one because of a small one, not to mention that he was originally wronged, so he could only settle the matter with resentment, and snorted coldly: "Only Master Shao has such a face, otherwise he will definitely not give up today." ”

Shao Ziqing thanked Chang Lehou, and then turned around to support Chu Yuehua on the ground. Yuehua's whole body was tense, still angry, and full of unwillingness.

"Yuehua." Shao Ziqing's voice was very soft, like a feather gently brushing the water, and it was also very warm, making Yuehua feel like Mu Chunyang, and the ice cubes fell off the tip of the frozen heart little by little, and then the stiff heart resumed beating little by little.

It turns out that there is really such a person in this world, who doesn't need to do anything, and doesn't need to say, as long as he stares at you, he can warm up and make your world bloom in an instant.

Yuehua struggled twice, Shao Ziqing was a weak scholar, but her hands were extremely calm and powerful at this time, tightly imprisoning her stubbornness.

The fiery anger in Yuehua's eyes cooled down a little, and she finally surrendered, her stiff back softened, and she struggled to stand up, still shaky.

"Shall we go?"

Shao Ziqing's voice was like a spell, and his eyes also cast a spell to confuse his mind, staring intently at Yuehua. He was completely selfless, as if all the people and things around him had disappeared, and Yuehua seemed to be drunk, or rather, numb.

Shao Ziqing grabbed her wrist tightly, she followed Shao Ziqing step by step out of the dining room of the Hou Mansion, paused, and suddenly turned her head, facing Chang Lingyan's resentful eyes.

Yuehua smiled suddenly, and the corners of her lips opened, evoking an intriguing arc. Chang Lingyan felt that it was a creepy laugh, and she instantly felt cold all over her body, like falling into an ice cave, and couldn't help but take two steps back, not daring to look directly.

"There will be a date later."

Yuehua smiled very peacefully, as if she was saying goodbye to her friends, a little reluctant.

Chang Lingyan was shocked and wanted to scold to hide his panic, Chu Yuehua had already turned around and followed Shao Ziqing out of the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The night was dark, and a white horse stopped at the door of the Hou Mansion, untied, and hurriedly hitched on the horse's back. The horse didn't move, and when he saw Shao Ziqing, he stepped on the horse's hooves excitedly.

Yuehua slowly broke free of Shao Ziqing's hand, and a cold night breeze rose, brushing away a strand of green silk that hung down on her forehead, and her curly eyelashes trembled slightly, like a frightened butterfly that was about to fly.

Shao Ziqing suddenly felt panic in his heart.

"Are you alright?"

He looked at Yuehua with concern, his eyes full of anxiety.

"It's Xiangshen who begged you to save me, right?" Yuehua did not answer the rhetorical question.

Shao Ziqing nodded: "I already know." ”

"Are you laughing at me for not being able to do anything?" Yuehua laughed at herself: "Instead of avenging Xiangche, she made herself so embarrassed, and she had to ask Lord Shao to personally help in order to escape from this Hou Ye's mansion." ”

She also had messy hair stuck to her face with sweat, Shao Ziqing wanted to raise her hand to help her tidy it up, Yuehua took a step back, dodged his fingertips, and his empty hand paused again: "Mourning and change." ”

Yuehua turned around and glanced back at the gilt plaque of the Changle Hou Mansion, her eyes were full of sadness: "The dead are gone, and they can't be resurrected, I will mourn, but I can't do this 'Shun' word, I can't forgive them for what they did." What is the conspiracy that is coming to me, why bully a child? I won't give up, there will always be a place to reason! ”

Shao Ziqing raised his hand again, gently pulled her shoulder, lowered his eyes and softly comforted: "Yuehua, don't torture yourself anymore, nothing will pass." ”

"It's not torture, it's that I can't forgive myself. If I can't get justice for Xiangche, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life. Yuehua said categorically: "Jing Zhaoyin, Dali Temple, princes and generals, will not all be protected by officials and officials, I can't let Xiang Che die in vain." ”

"Xiangche she committed suicide, and she is a servant, no matter how unwilling you are, Changle Houfu will only compensate you some silver taels at most, not to mention, you don't have any certificates, and your thousand words are not as heavy as the word 'Hou Ye'." Shao Ziqing earnestly persuaded.

Yuehua was a little stunned, but in fact, she knew that what Shao Ziqing said was right. Even, if he hadn't arrived in time today, Lian Shi would have bitten back, and he might be in the Yamen prison now. Even if she goes to beat the drum of grievances, the people sue the official, go through the thirty nail boards, and see the Qingtian official, I am afraid that she will be beaten out with a stick.

However, she was unwilling, and that breath lay in her heart, like a sharp knife, piercing her heart all the time. It is impossible for Lian and Chang Lingyan to pay for Xiang Che's life, but they have no remorse or guilt, and they are arrogantly shouting that Xiang Che's death is just her own deserving, and she shirks the responsibility completely, how can she swallow this breath?

"Power? That's a good thing. Yuehua was stunned for a long time, and then smiled coldly: "Human life is like ants, only that power is the anti-heaven spell that climbs the ladder to the sky and turns the clouds and rain!" ”

"Yuehua?" Shao Ziqing gently probed.

Chu Yuehua turned around slowly: "I'm fine, I just suddenly figured it out." Shicai was forced to kneel on the ground by them, and remembered what the man once said: People, only when they kneel on the ground and bow their heads, will they understand what they are? I am nothing, my life is like a mustard, humble as an ant, even if I fight, disobey fate, what can I escape? What can you fight for? ”

She broke free of Shao Ziqing's hand, got into her carriage without looking back, only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and never wanted to speak again.

"Yuehua!" Shao Ziqing stepped forward.

Yuehua slowly turned her face, and under the light of the lantern, her face was pale and bloodless, and there was a little gray hollowness in her eyes.

"What you told me yesterday, I have a way to ....."

"That's it!" Yuehua interrupted him coldly: "Thank you Lord Shao for bothering, there's no need." ”

"Why? Could it be that you want to enter the palace willingly? ”

Yuehua looked up at the sky, it was as dark as ink, and there was no light.

"I suddenly felt that in such a world, it was difficult for me as a woman to survive like an ant. The life in that vermilion wall may not be so bad, at least, although the high place is unbearable, but there is no need to be trampled under the feet of people three times or twice, such bullying, even if you are walking on thin ice, you can still protect the people around you to live well. I, Chu Yuehua, accept my fate, that is! ”

After saying that, he shook the reins of the horse in his hand, and the horse couldn't wait, and scattered its hooves and headed towards the dust in front of him.

"Yuehua, listen to me!"

Shao Ziqing anxiously turned over on the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and wanted to catch up, but he pulled the horse's reins again, stood there stunned for a long time, watched Yuehua's carriage turn around the corner of the street, disappear, and then turned around and changed direction.

Xiang Che's funeral was completed, and it was already three days later. According to the funeral ceremony, Yuehua also invited the monk to do a few rituals to chant the scriptures for Xiangche.

But the woman who died early is not qualified to be buried in the blessed land, Yuehua felt guilty, lest Xiangche be buried alone in the wilderness, a lonely barren mound, too pitiful, so she made the decision to place her in the maple forest, and received a lot of incense, and the reincarnation did not have to be so miserable.

On the day of Xiang Che's burial, Lian and Chang Lingyan also came, and they were forced by Chang Lehou to go, and reluctantly kowtowed to Yuehua's parents.

Lian is the eldest sister-in-law of Yuehua's mother, and according to the rules, she should not kowtow. Chang Lehou was furious in the mansion, and counted the crimes of the Lian family in treating Yuehua over the years, and asked her to kowtow to the grave of Yuehua's parents. Coupled with Xiang Che's death, he did have an inescapable relationship with the two, although he was unwilling, he still went aggrieved.

Yuehua naturally didn't appreciate it, especially the contempt and disdain on the faces of Lian and Chang Lingyan, as well as the presumptuousness in front of Xiangche's tomb, which made Yuehua and Xiangshen feel their blasphemy and insult to Xiangche.

The calmness on her face, the turbulent waves hidden under the calm, swept out of her eyes again and again.

She pointed to the newly erected bluestone on her parents' mausoleum and showed it to the Lian family, then stroked Xiangche's tombstone and told her: "They will all have spirits in the sky." ”

Lian fled in panic with Chang Lingyan, and had nightmares for several days. However, the terrifying thing in the nightmare is not Xiang Che, but Chu Yuehua, she can't forget Chu Yuehua's sad and angry eyes, which are unforgettable.

She knew that she hated herself to the core, and it was only a matter of time before she fought and fought for a thousand catastrophes.
