Book XII, Chapter 154
After dinner, Xue Yu went back to the room and said that she was probably packing up her things. Shu Ying and He Yu couldn't help but glance at each other, understanding that if they didn't talk about it at the moment, they might not have a chance after they went out. The two of them have a good heart, and they don't need to say anything. Heyu walked towards Xue Yu's room.
Seeing this, Wen Yin didn't understand that Xue Yu had just said that she would go back to the house to clean up, and His Royal Highness left with a solemn face. She wanted to ask, but Shuying stopped her. Immediately afterward, she saw He Yu enter Xue Yu's room, and instantly understood.
The things to take away were actually sorted out last night. The left and right are some personal clothes, and it doesn't matter to her whether to bring them or not. What matters is the thick stack of books on the wooden cabinet. The books can be said to be spotless, and they are very cherished by their owners. That was the only thing left behind when the husband left. After all these years, despite her best efforts to avoid paying attention to them and ignoring them, she was still reluctant to discard them.
Seeing that she was going to follow He Yu out of here, her heart was still reluctant and couldn't let go after all, so when she left, she had obviously sorted it out, and her eyes always glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally.
This was the first thing He Yu saw when he entered the roomβhis grandmother was sitting on the edge of the bed with a package in front of her, staring at the stack of books on the wooden cabinet in a daze. Obviously, the pile of books must have been left behind by my grandfather.
He Yu hesitated for a moment and stepped towards the wooden cabinet.
He Yu's figure blocked Xue Yu's sight, Xue Yu came back to her senses, and said in surprise: "Yu'er, why did you come in, didn't you say that you were waiting for your grandmother outside?"
"Grandmother, these are my grandfather's favorite books to read when he was alive!" He Yu reached out and gently stroked the writing, and it was not difficult to see that the old book paper was yellow, and many pages were incomplete.
Xue Yu said calmly: "Well, when your grandmother was illiterate, your grandfather often used them to teach her grandmother and teach her to practice hyphenation. Come to think of it, it was thanks to them that my grandmother had her own name and knew what it meant. β
"It seems that grandmother still loves grandfather!" He Yu turned around, half-jokingly and half-seriously tentatively, observing the changes on Xue Yu's face.
However, Xue Yu had no expression. Her gaze floated for a moment, and said, "What does it matter if you love or not, it's all in the past." Yu'er, if you have anything you want to say to your grandmother, just say it, you and my grandfather are not outsiders. β
Seeing He Yu standing there, Xue Yu looked hesitant, and beckoned, "Come, come to grandmother." β
He Yu came to her bed, Xue Yu pulled He Yu to sit beside her, her eyebrows were crooked, and she smiled: "Yu'er, looking at your appearance, grandmother has probably guessed what you want to say to grandmother." If it is to persuade the grandmother, then there is no need to say more, the grandmother has made up her mind, and nothing can be changed. β
"Grandmother!" He Yu's voice aggravated: "Grandson knows the bitterness and resentment in your heart, and your unwillingness, but as you said, it's all in the past, why do you still have to hold on to it." Grandchildren have finally recognized you, isn't it good for us to live together as a family? Why bother to talk about the past and hurt others and ourselves. β
"Hurt others and hurt yourself?" Xue Yu's face instantly fell: "Yu'er, do you know how my grandmother has come over all these years?" I was sealed by your grandfather for most of my memory, and my body shape cannot be combined into one, and I must rely on the demon spirits that suck things to enhance my own bonding power and reunite into shape. Do you know what it's like to be locked up here, doing the same thing you hate the most, day and day, without even a person to talk to, wandering alone in this empty place like a ghost?"
"You won't understand. Xue Yu got up and stood in the center of the room excitedly, her eyes exuding madness and confusion: "You will only blame me and accuse me like everyone else." Including your grandfather. Obviously, I live a good life here, and I live a carefree life every day, but he broke into here and came to provoke me. And I naively thought that I had found the person I loved the most in my life, and I gave everything to him with my sincerity. β
"Soon after, we had a child, your father. I was a new mother, and I was full of joy, and I didn't want your grandfather to dislike the redhead and blue eyes that it was born from, so he secretly carried it out while I was asleep. She was first furious, gritted her teeth, and then fell into desolation again: "Poor my child, it is not yet a month, and I have not had time to give it a name, and I have not even had time to hug him properly, but after a few careful glances, it was stolen by your ruthless grandfather." β
"When I woke up and found out, I began to hate, hate your grandfather's betrayal, hate his deception, hate myself even more for being wrong. So, in a fit of rage, I destroyed the place. Since then, except for the yellow sand everywhere, the flowers and plants have withered, and there is no longer any scenery in the past. Xue Yu said this, her tone cheerful and proud.
She continued: "Then I went crazy looking for the father and son, but there was no news. It was as if they had disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of them. In the end, I ran out of ideas, and I arrested a lot of Li people in a frenzy. β
Xue Yu had already learned about these things from Shu Ying, but he didn't bother her. He Yu understands what it is like for a person to have nowhere to tell about the pain that has been held in his heart for a long time. And once you find the right person, what kind of taste is it to want to vent desperately.
"I was trying to scare them into forcing your grandfather to show up. In the end, your grandfather appeared, and in order to stop me, he was not afraid of life and death in front of that group of people. He begged me to take him back, and I thought he had come back genuinely. I was so dizzy with joy that I forgot for a moment to ask where my child was now. β
Xue Yu's expression was sarcastic, and suddenly became cold: "How did I know that he actually came to kill me." He begged me and said he didn't want to leave here again, he just wanted to stay with me forever. I actually believed it and stupidly ran to the enclosed space. In the end, under the sharp weapon he pierced, he ended up with a body torn apart and his memory sealed. β
"Now that I think about it, it's really a big joke, a big joke. She raised her head and laughed loudly, looked back at He Yu, and said with a cracked tooth: "Yu'er, how did you ask your grandmother to let go of the past and forgive them!!?"
He Yu felt the resentment and resentment in his grandmother's heart deeply from his grandmother's words, and it turned out to be so deep. He Yu couldn't speak for a long time, he didn't know what to use to persuade her, or he felt the pain in his grandmother's heart, and he felt a trace of approval and understanding for his grandmother's desire for revenge.
For his own thoughts, He Yu was suddenly shocked. At the same time, there was a voice in his heart that reminded him that he could not implicate the innocent because of the fault of one person. It's like my grandmother was angry and arrested many people. Knowing that my grandmother was trying to force my grandfather to show up and scare them, who knows if my grandfather hadn't shown up at that time, my grandmother would have killed them all in a fit of rage.
He Yu then regained his courage and said, "Grandmother, your feelings can be understood by your grandchildren. However, time has passed, and many years have passed, and the eminent monks of the past may have already sat down, so what can you do when you go out? Isn't it enough to have your grandchildren with you now?"
"I don't believe it. Even if he sits down, I will destroy his temple and destroy his golden body. β
"And then?" Heyu's tone was surprisingly calm.
"And then, of course, find your father, and we'll be reunited as a family. Xue Yu said unexpectedly.
He Yu didn't want to deceive Xue Yu, so he didn't tell Xue Yu that his father had passed away, as he had previously agreed with Shu Ying. But he didn't want to see Xue Xue all day long, thinking only about revenge.
Sometimes there's no way to have it both ways. Most of the so-called best of both worlds is based on weighing the pros and cons and abandoning something that you can't protect, which is just a kind of self-deception.
He thought about it, sighed slightly, and his tone became calmer: "Grandmother, have you ever thought that the high monk raised my father and was as kind as his father. but thou shalt destroy his golden body, and destroy his temples. What should my father do?"
Xue Xue didn't think about this question seriously. Shuying also told her before. At that time, she was so resentful that she couldn't listen to it at all. He Yu is her closest bloodline, and at this moment, she calmed down with her and had a long talk, which made her feel quiet.
He Yu said: "According to his grandson's opinion, my father will turn against you for them, who have never met you and have not been by his side since childhood, and will kill each other. At that time, don't say that the family reunion is difficult to let your father call you a mother. β
Xue Yu hesitated.
He Yu could see Xue Yu's wavering. He seized the opportunity and said: "Instead of this, why don't we let go of the old hatred, turn the conflict into a jade silk, regain the mother-son relationship between you and your father, and the family will be safe." What do you say, grandmother!" He Yu let out a final emotional cry, looking at Xue Yu expectantly.
"This..."Xue Yu didn't dare to look back at He Yu's gaze, and lowered her forehead, she could hear the embarrassed and tangled tone.
He Yu saw the opportunity, strode forward, and unexpectedly knelt in front of Xue Yu.
"Yu'er, what are you doing here? "Xue Yu is in a hurry, and she wants to pull He Yu.
He Yu pushed her hand away and said earnestly: "Grandmother, listen to me, it's a grandson begging you, let it go! Just like a grandson who was adopted and raised since childhood, he has no father or mother. Fathers are the same, they have never felt what fatherly love and motherly love is. I don't know why my parents left me in the first place, but I believe they had their reasons. So I believe that my father thinks the same thing as my grandson. Now that the grandson has finally found his grandmother, he has tasted what it is like to have the love of his loved ones for the first time in his life, and the grandson really doesn't want his grandmother to sacrifice herself for revenge. I don't want to see you and your father turn against each other..."He Yu said this, tears streaming down his face.
Even Xue Yu's nose was sour, and her eyes were red: "Yu'er, don't be like this, if you have something to say, you will say it again." β
"No, if the grandmother doesn't agree, the grandson won't be able to kneel for a long time. β
"Why are you so stubborn, kid. Xue Yu choked up: "Can you let Grandmother think about it?"
He Yu didn't get up, wiped his tears, raised his head, his voice was hoarse, and pleaded: "Grandmother, are you okay with your grandson?" Isn't it more important for our family to reunite than to take revenge?" Seeing that Xue Yu still did not let go, he swallowed his choked voice and called out: "Grandmother, grandmother, you promise your grandson." Tears welled up in her eyes again.
Xue Yu burst into tears, and after a long time, she reluctantly nodded.
He Yu got up, hugged Xue Yu, and cried with joy.
"Silly boy..."Xue Xue patted him on the back and called lovingly.
