Chapter 47: The Li Clan's Fiasco (2)
"Lee, what else do you have to say?"
Li Yuzhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add." After a smile she suddenly became calm again, her eyes bloodshot but not moist at all. The whole person fell into a strange state, as if he was dead, and as if he was still alive.
Qiulan got up suddenly, and she walked in front of Li Yuzhi provocatively. Reaching out to touch his lower abdomen, he opened his mouth as if he was deliberately showing off, "There are already two young ladies and a son under the knees of the eldest lady, but she wants to do such an unsightly deed." ”
"The concubine originally thought that the child in her womb would finally have someone to accompany her, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this. When the general has not yet set out on the expedition, he often says to the concubine that he wants a little son......" Qiulan raised her head slightly, as if recalling the lingering with Lu Zhi yesterday. Li Yuzhi was jealous of her favor, and knew that this time she would also have to contribute to the planting of Qiulan. I hate it even more.
"Shut up." Li Yuzhi's voice trembled with anger. The hands in the wide cuffs were already clenched into fists.
Qiu Lan didn't care much about her reaction, but said more and more exaggeratedly, "I also said that if the concubine has a child, she should raise the concubine as an equal wife, and give him the identity of the concubine, so as not to be wronged." ”
"I'll shut you up!"
Li Yuzhi suddenly screamed loudly and slammed into Qiulan. Qiulan immediately turned around and wanted to run away, but was grabbed by Li Yuzhi's hair and pushed forward. Lu Yinhua exclaimed, Qiu Lan threw herself on the desk, she screamed miserably, and fell softly.
Li Yuzhi was sitting on the ground at the moment, pulling Qiulan's hair fiercely with one hand, and pinching Qiulan's throat with the other hand. The manpower who fell into madness was amazing, and it took four people to pull Li Yuzhi away.
Qiulan's hair was messy on the ground, and there were a few more red marks on her snow-white neck. Her body twitched slightly, blood pouring from between her legs, gradually penetrating her lower skirt. She reached out and grabbed the corner of the slave's skirt, and spoke in a weak voice that everyone could hear.
"County Lord, save me."
I have to say that Qiulan is really a good actor, look at this embarrassed appearance, like a poor woman who was bullied by a vicious housewife to the point of miscarriage.
Originally, Qiulan's fake pregnancy was naturally not a long-term solution, and she directed and acted in this play in order to completely remove Li Yuzhi's thorn, and by the way, she brought the pregnancy to her.
These are naturally clear in the slave's heart. She looked at Qiulan, who was lying on the ground, and hurriedly pretended to be panicked and squatted down to support Qiulan's shoulder, and yelled at the maids beside her who were already stunned, "What are you doing in a daze." Hurry up and take Aunt Qiu down, and then ask the doctor for treatment! ”
Miaochun trotted forward, and with the assistance of several mothers-in-law, she half-carried Qiulan to the nearest house.
Everything is clear. The winner is decided.
Lu Yinhua was still doing a good job, there was not much expression on his face, only his slightly pursed mouth revealed a trace of worry. The slave looked at her, Rao is frowning and stunning demeanor. It's a pity that she is not a man, and she doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
Before she could speak, Lu Yinhua, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Since the matter has been clarified, this matter will be handled by my sister, and my sister will never have any objections." ”
Her tone was calm, and there was a cold in her eyes that could not be touched. Li Yuzhi shuddered, she finally understood where the guilt she saw at the beginning came from, and where the decision came from.
It turned out that her daughter had planned to abandon her from the beginning. Sure enough, it is her Li Yuzhi's daughter, so ruthless, so know-how to make trade-offs. But for some reason, two lines of tears slipped out of the eyes that had always been calm and proud.
She cried, not because she was defeated, but because she was a failed mother.
"Let me in!"
Lu Yuebai came in a hurry, and she didn't even notice that the Zhu Hai on her head was crooked, it seemed that she was really anxious. Nu'er had expected her to lose her temper as usual. Who would have thought that Lu Yuebai knelt down with a plop, folded his hands and raised them high to bow deeply towards the slave.
"Mingjia County Lord's subordinates are merciful!"
Nu'er looked down at Lu Yuebai, who was kneeling at his feet, and remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival many years ago.
She knelt at Li Yuzhi's feet in the same way, begging her to ask for a doctor for her mother. She knelt on the cold bluestone slab and slammed it down again and again. Hot tears fell on the cold floor, she remembered Li Yuzhi's pair of gold embroidered shoes embroidered with red peonies, and she also remembered the despair and humility at that moment.
The doctor didn't get it after all. She didn't know how she was going back to Koyanagi-an. She only remembered that night, when everyone was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, she lost the only concern in this world, and her mother chose to leave her forever on the day of reunion in the world.
At that time, the mother was lying on the bed angrily, and her original beautiful face was long gone, only the old sick face remained. I still remember her kneeling under her mother's bed. Bei Yan bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes were red, but he didn't shed a single tear.
The mother raised her trembling hand and slapped her hard, she kept slapping the edge of the bed and asked the slave, "Why don't you cry, why don't you cry!" Ahem, I want you to cry! ”
"You have to remember what I taught you, don't fight, don't rob. Those things aren't yours! The mother was anxious and coughed for a long time, but she would rather drag the sick body and hold on to her breath, but also force her. She angrily asked, "Tell me who you are!" ”
"I am a slave, I don't fight or rob, I live in peace, and I will be a slave forever."
This is what her mother has said to her since she was born, slaves hate, hated that her mother has talent but does not know how to fight, so she will fall to this point. It was on that night that she confronted her mother for the first time.
"But even so, even if you don't fight or rob, you will be a slave forever. In exchange for what? ”
"In exchange for her, she killed you with a bowl of medicine! You've lied to me for seven whole years. Seven years! If you really want me to be a slave in peace, don't die! If you die, I will fight and grab it at all costs! ”
"Unfilial daughter!" The mother shouted angrily, but her life had come to an end. As she lay dying, she gently stretched out her slave's clenched fist with her last tenderness.
She said, "Slave, you're a woman after all. Don't blame your mother, I just want you not to live so tired. Mother, I feel sorry for ......"
There was a muffled sound in the sky, and the heavy rain that had been gathering for a long time finally fell.
The slave turned her mind and looked into the distance in a daze, and a sour feeling suddenly came to her heart. She cleared her throat, "The Li clan violated my rules of the Great Xia Seven Rules, and he had a vicious mind and killed the side room, intending to assassinate the lord of this county. The sin is unforgivable, but he has worked in the general's mansion for many years, and the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped. Abolish her status as the main mother and send it to the Grange on the same day. The affairs of the house are temporarily in charge of the Aunt Qiu family, with the assistance of the Nie family. ”
"From now on, Li Shiyuzhi has nothing to do with my general's mansion."
Nu'er looked at Lu Yinhua, "Does my sister have any objections?" ”
Lu Yinhua got up, "No." ”
"Big sister!" Lu Yuebai shouted and looked at Lu Yinhua with disbelief.
Lu Yinhua leaned down and pulled Lu Yuebai up, "Yuebai, be obedient, follow me." ”
She spoke softly, but with an order that could not be refused. Lu Yuebai looked at Li Yuzhi, who was already dead, and still followed Lu Yinhua in the end.
The matter was over, and everyone stepped back in twos and threes. The slave finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down tiredly.
"The county lord is tired." Fang Gu brought a cup of Biluochun, "Just brewed." ”
Nu'er's dark eyes rolled, she took the teacup with a smile, and suddenly said, "I was assassinated in Zuixiao Tower, don't you have anything to say?" ”
"The old slave is stupid, and he doesn't know what the county lord wants to hear."
"Stupid?" Nu'er took a sip of tea and said lightly, "You're not stupid. ”
"Otherwise, how could you go to Ripple Garden in person?"
"I always thought I was treating you well." The corners of the slave's mouth twitched, as if she was laughing at herself. Suddenly, a cold light was released from the bright eyes. There was a hint of murderous intent in his anger, "And why did you betray me?" ”
Fang Gu sighed heavily, she slowly stood up, and after a long time, she spoke, "Because of the trust of people to be loyal to people." ”
"Who's trusting you?"
Fang Gu said in a deep voice, "Your mother." ”
