Chapter Ninety-Eight: Trouble Duanmu (4)
In the spring of April, the snow is flying, and the door of Linsu Duanmu is empty. This is a sentence that circulated in Amaterasu that year, overnight, Duanmu Master died, the only sister-in-law of the Duanmu family was also beheaded, it is rumored that Duanmu Anrui's body was put on the bank of the Linsu River for five days before being buried, and no one knows, why did the second lady who was dead in front of Duanmu Anrui's coffin let go that day, some people said that she fainted without eating and drinking for five days, only the family who was guarding in front of the coffin that day said that he saw a ghost that day, and the soul of the eldest young master came back.
"Which one is a dream? Is it now, or is it ......" was the first thing Kiyo said after opening her eyes, she looked at the man sitting in front of her, but she couldn't shake a face in her mind.
Yu Zichen took the millet porridge and dug a spoonful to blow it cold, "I haven't eaten or drunk for five days, now you don't blame this porridge for being unpalatable, because you don't think about anything else besides this." ”
Qing Rang didn't open his mouth, stared at Yu Zichen, and asked for an answer.
"Your stubborn temper is the same as your big brother, well, let me tell you, you weren't hallucinating at that time, and he's still alive. It's not a dream, he has been here, and he has come all the way back here with you, as for whether I am a dream or not, you can understand it when you taste this millet porridge. ”
Qing let believe him, he said that Yun Ze is alive, that is to live, she opened her mouth and swallowed the rice porridge in the spoon, there was no light taste, it was very thin, and it was really hard to drink. Yu Zichen looked at her well-behaved for a while and frowned for a while, but he understood why the father and son of the Duanmu family held her in their hands and petted her.
"Although he is still alive, Duanmu Yunze is dead, and it will not be easy for you and your eldest brother to meet in the future."
"It doesn't matter, as long as my eldest brother lives, I will see him again." Qing Rang suddenly remembered something, and groped in his head a few times, "If the golden hairpin is not returned to me, the eldest brother will definitely see me again." ”
"Your eldest brother has recovered well from his injuries, and it should be no problem to protect himself, and besides, Ah Xu has been following him, so you can rest assured."
"Ah Xu is a child of affection, with him accompanying his eldest brother, he will definitely take good care of his eldest brother, I am naturally relieved."
"Where is it still a child, that little ghost is afraid that he has grown up in his heart, he follows your eldest brother for your eldest brother or for something else, you know it in your heart." Yu Zichen stirred the rice porridge in his hand, and Qing Rang was confused, "Don't use your complicated mind to think about others, Ah Xu will definitely not have any other intentions for the eldest brother." ”
"Now, I finally know your valve."
"What?"
Qingrang's valve is incomprehensible, Ah Xu obviously has a love for her, but she didn't realize it at all, and suddenly felt that it was his fault that she had to be tempted in every way, of course, he wouldn't tell her about it, "Don't talk about this with you, drink these rice porridge quickly." ”
"I didn't drink it, but I didn't ask you, why are you in Linsu, the saint is not to blame?"
"You only let people give me a message, I'm afraid that the people below will say the wrong thing!"
Yu Zichen's joke, Qing Rang's heart was very moved, she knew that he was worried about herself. At this time, the door was pushed open, and the eldest lady walked in step by step, these days she was very abnormal, not sad and painful, and she also tolerated Qingrang's almost crazy actions, some people said that she was worthy of being born in a famous family, and she was not shocked by the changes, and some people said that she lost her husband and son overnight, and was stimulated to sex.
"The Great Lady......"
"Young Master Yu, I have something to say privately with Qing Rang, can I bother you to move and stand in the courtyard for a while."
Yu Zichen felt that the eldest lady looked strange and didn't want to go out, but Qingrang nodded to him, he shook her hand, "If there is anything uncomfortable, remember to call me, I won't go far." He hinted clearly, believing she understood.
After Yu Zichen left the house, the eldest lady walked into Qingrang and took out an envelope from her sleeve, "I've been waiting for you to wake up, because this is the only thing your father has to tell me." She put the envelope in Qingrang's hand, "Your father's suicide note to you, it's good to have you with him when he leaves." ”
"Big lady, you already know my father's ......"
"I had a husband and wife with him, but I didn't expect that the closest thing he got to me was to explain to me what happened after his death." The eldest lady smiled a little sadly, she still remembered the night before she went up the mountain, he entered her room, and the beginning of each sentence was "after I die", "Qingrang, I don't like your mother, and I don't like you, but I have tolerated your mother for a lifetime, because I am sorry for her first, but I don't want to tolerate you anymore, I owe you nothing, and my son is going to run away because of you for the rest of your life, how can I let you live the rest of your life carefree." ”
"Big lady, big brother, he ......" She can understand the mood of the eldest lady at this time, that is, she is also heartbroken for the eldest brother.
"I don't know what the master said to you, but if you want to listen to my version, maybe it will be more exciting."
"Dad said that he was poisoned by the prince, and the eldest brother killed the prince in order to avenge him and save Qiuguan. Isn't it? ”
"That's all?" The eldest lady asked rhetorically, and Qing Rang nodded, "Duanmu Anrui, you love the house and Wuzhen to the extreme, and you have to protect their mother and daughter until you die," the eldest lady's smile was full of despair, "Why did the prince poison your father, and why did Yun Ze want the prince to kill him, it was all because of you, because the prince knew that you were the descendant of the Meng family, because the prince wanted the treasure in your Meng family's hands...... You so your father swallowed it even if he knew it was poison, so Yun Zeming knew that he would kill the prince at a dead end! ”
"No, eldest lady, you are mistaken, what is the descendant of the Meng family, I am Qingrang, Duanmu Qingrang......" Qingrang felt that the eldest lady's consciousness was a little unclear, did she recognize the wrong person.
"Qingrang...... Does your mother think that by giving you this name, you will be able to avoid killing and revenge? You are not surnamed Duanmu, you are not the daughter of Duanmu Anrui, you are just a posthumous son, your father is Meng Jianyuan, the grandson of the Meng family, before you were born, he died, and died under the knife with hundreds of people from the Meng family," the eldest lady smiled, a little crazy, "He Duanmu Anrui has never gotten your mother in his life, even if he gambled everything for your mother, he did not win against Meng Jianyuan, who has died." ”
"What do you say, Madamdam...... You don't talk nonsense, my mother is the only man in my life! ”
"Yes, your mother has only one man in her life, but your father is not Duanmu Anrui, it is Meng Jianyuan, Meng Jianyuan, the first son of Dongshuo, Meng Jianyuan, poor Duanmu Anrui has raised his wife and daughter for others all his life, and he has also hitched a ride on the happiness of his son's life for you, an outsider!"
"You talk nonsense!" Qing Rang roared with all his strength, she is Duanmu Anrui's daughter, and she is her father's favorite Qing Rang.
Yu Zichen rushed in from outside the house, and the eldest lady watched Yu Zichen rush to Qingrang's side to protect her behind her, "You are the same as your mother, you are both a fox who seduces men...... Foxy and charming......" As she spoke, her body slowly couldn't support it, and she slowly fell down against the wall, and blood began to spill out of her mouth. She took the poison before she came, she knew that Duanmu Anruiding would not forgive herself for telling Qingrang about this, and she would not forgive herself, so she paid the price of her life, and she couldn't blame her when she arrived at Duanmu Anrui.
"Big Lady!"
Yu Zichen covered Qingrang's eyes and protected her in his arms, the eldest lady's eyes were hollow, but she still murmured in her mouth, "Duanmu Anrui, don't think that you can get rid of me if you die, in the next life, in the next life, I will also pester you......"
The words of the eldest lady swirled in Qingrang's mind like a spell, and she cried fiercely in Yu Zichen's arms, hoping that her tears could wash away this world that was not clear enough.
In the ancestral tomb of the Duanmu family, a coffin was carried in less than ten days, and Mrs. Duanmu died of martyrdom for Lord Duanmu, but what could be buried with her was only Duanmu Anrui's clothed mound, and she finally did not disobey Duanmu Anrui's intentions, and buried him next to the small tomb on the side of the small wooden house on the mountain.
"Big lady, Hua Shu is pregnant now, the fetal gas is unstable, she can't come to Su, I don't know where the eldest brother is now, although I know you don't want to see me, but I still came." Qingrang placed the offerings in front of the tomb of the eldest lady, "What you told me, I have no one to ask anymore, so when I haven't heard it, I will always be Duanmu Qingrang." ”
The sky began to rain, the spring rain was like silk, but it was very dense, and Qing Rang didn't know whose tears it was.
Yu Zichen was dressed in white and stood behind her with a smoky umbrella in his hand, he didn't know what the eldest lady said that day, Qingrang never told him, he just asked, only looked at her body that had become thinner and thinner in recent days, and felt uncomfortable, "Jingshi is here, and everything under Duanmu's name has been handed over, except for the old mansion." ”
"Dad told me, give them all, it's worth exchanging these for the eldest brother's life."
"I have handed over the deed of the old mansion to Aunt Juan as you wish, and I have left them some silver, which is enough for them to marry a wife and start a family in Yuxiang."
"Thank you." Qing Rang knew in her heart that she had no intention of taking care of those family chores these days, everything was taken care of by Yu Zichen, and he had thought about it for her in many places.
"I'm going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, if you want to stay here for a little longer, I'll let you stay with you, and if you want to go back to Nanxiang, I'll let him escort you back." He knew that she didn't want to go to Jingshi anymore now.
"I'll stay in Linsu, it's better for you to take it away, Linsu is all people I know after all, now that the Jingshi is chaotic, there is no shortage of people around you, just trouble you to send someone to bring Jin Niang back?" Qing Rang's eyes flickered when he said these words, Yu Zichen was a shrewd master, and he could naturally understand it.
"Do you want to stay in Linsu for a long time?"
"Now that my father is gone, my eldest brother can't come back, there is only one boy left in the Duanmu family, Yuxiang, I want to take care of him in Linsu, Aunt Juan is weak, and she will inevitably be bullied, besides, yesterday Xue Mansion came, Yushan's marriage was withdrawn, she is not young now, I want to find a good family for her, and it is inevitable to delay in Linsu for a while." Qing Rang said a long list, every sentence was a reason, but Yu Zichen understood that these were not reasons.
"You are for the sake of Xue Fu's resignation, and you think that I will also abandon you because the Duanmu family is lonely?"
"You're not that kind of person, I know, but I also understand what kind of road you want to take, that kind of road is not easy to take, you need a lot of strength to support, and my existence can't help you, it's better to ...... than drag you down."
Yu Zichen hooked Qingrang's face, looked at her flickering eyes and forced her to look at herself, "You are wrong, I am such a worldly person, just because of the world, I will not abandon you, because you are the most precious of the Duanmu family." ”
"Yu Zichen, I won't be Nanxiang, I will follow you wherever you go in the future, tomorrow I will follow you into Beijing, this time you don't abandon me, I will rely on you for the rest of my life."
"It's scary." The same hot gaze, the same shallow smile like a butterfly, their contract just fell. In Yu Zichen's deep kiss, Qing Rang smiled like a flower.
