Chapter 14: The Truth
When Li Xun successfully completed the task and returned to Xiangyang City proudly.
He got a bolt from the blue.
Because Shui Xinyuan betrayed the entire Shui family and threw himself into the Divine Hall, Li Zhong planned to divorce his mother Shui Bingxin and send Shui Bingxin back to the Shui family.
"Daddy...... What's going on?" Li Xun rarely looked extremely angry, gritting his teeth.
Li Zhong's expression was very calm, and he said: "Your mother is now the sister of a traitor, and the loyal retainers are all gritting their teeth with hatred for the Shui family. She's still with me now, and she's going to be in danger. ”
Li Xun grabbed his father's shirt violently, and said in a loud voice: "This ...... What is this called?"
Li Zhong shook his head: "Little bamboo, I know you can't accept it, but that's the ...... the truth."
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!" Li Xun covered his ears and shouted: "It's all lies, my mother has always been kind to others, who will embarrass her because of this?"
His gaze suddenly sharpened: "Father...... You're fascinated by those vixens, aren't you? You've spent a lot of nights with them over the past few years, and your mother never said anything...... You want to straighten the fox spirit, so you use this to drive away your mother. ”
Li Xun gritted his teeth: "I never thought that my father was such a ruthless person!"
Li Zhong's voice was also resolute, and his eyes were firm: "Whatever you want, it's up to you." ”
"Shameless!" Li Xun grabbed a delicate blue-glazed vase, smashed it on the ground, and then rushed out.
He never imagined such an outcome.
Uncle Ancestor disappeared from the Three Rivers Sword Sect, and the situation should be stabilized. Although Sanhe is in danger now, as long as he waits for the Sect Master Shenxiao Dao to send reinforcements, he will not be afraid of the Divine Hall.
And the father, who has been in love with his mother for many years on the surface, turned out to be such a white-eyed wolf!
His father, Li Zhong, always said that he had high hopes for him, but in fact he controlled him to death, hoping to cultivate him into a war tool that could revitalize the Li family. It wasn't until he became friends with Wu Feng that Li Xun didn't know what blood and freedom were.
The mother has always had a deep love for her father, but under the advice of the retainers, the father repeatedly took concubines, but after all, he failed to have another son and a half daughter. It's clear that his body is no longer good, but he has to blame his mother's stomach!
Li Xun can tolerate these, but now he can't bear it.
He harnessed his flying sword and flew wildly through the courtyard. The delicate garden wood was violently slammed by him, shattering into pieces of dust and smoke.
Even the tall walls were cut through several large holes by his sword light.
Li Xun didn't know where he should go, he only felt the wind whistling in his ears, his eyes were sour, and tears seemed to fall.
The wind is not cold, but the heart is cold.
"Why ......" Li Xun muttered in a low voice: "Why do I have such a family, such a father......"
Hatred and sorrow stirred in his heart, but there was nowhere to vent it.
I don't know when, he flew to the small courtyard where his mother lived - since he took a concubine, Li Zhong has been separated from his wife Shui Bingxin on the grounds of poor health, and if there is a need at night, he will choose which woman to spend the night with.
Li Xun's heart trembled.
If the mother has to leave, I should spend more time with her in the last days.
Li Xun landed slowly.
He was about to knock on the door, but found a voice coming from his mother's room.
It was the voice of his father, Li Zhong.
Li Xun's heart became more and more angry - this hypocritical person wants to use his rhetoric to persuade his mother to leave?
He peered into the slightly open window.
The father was holding the mother in his arms, and both of them had loving expressions on their faces.
Such a look has not appeared for many years.
is acting again-Li Xun thought with hatred in his heart.
"I'm sorry. Li Zhongmo rubbed his wife's delicate face and muttered.
He is Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and Shui Bingxin is already twenty-nine, but he looks like a girl in her early twenties, more than a little younger than him.
Mrs. Li was a famous beauty in Jingzhou when she was a child, and if she was a few years younger, she would also have a place on the Fanghua spectrum of the famous romantic figure Shu Jian.
Shui Bingxin's expression was sad: "I don't blame you, it's only like this now......"
Li Xun was already roaring in his heart.
Mother is always so kind, she actually believes her father's nonsense!
He was about to rush in and expose his father's hypocrisy.
But I heard my mother murmur again, "But I don't want to...... If you're leaving, I'd rather die with you!"
When Li Xun heard this, he suddenly froze.
This is...... What's going on?
Li Zhong sighed: "I know my body, now that I am coughing up blood, it is getting worse and worse, and it has been the last four or five years since I left Xiaozhuzi...... I haven't seen him grow up and marry a wife, so I'm really reluctant to ......"
"Xiaozhuzi is a soft personality on the outside and strong on the inside, after I leave, he will definitely not allow you to remarry...... However, that would be too wronged for you. Take advantage of this opportunity to let you remarry, and Xiaozhuzi will only hate me - but none of this matters. ”
Shui Bingxin was already whimpering: "You don't understand...... I'd rather go to Yellow Springs hand in hand with you. I don't want to serve any man other than you......"
Li Zhong shook his head: "I love you too much, so I don't want you to be lonely for the rest of your life...... What's more, it's for our children. ”
"Your brother cares about you very much, and when you return to the Shui family, you can take the opportunity to control him, so that although he has taken refuge in the shrine, he will not be able to send troops to Sanhe. You remarry an important minister of the Shui family and give birth to a half-brother and sister for Xiaozhuzi, and you can also use this to influence the Shui family, and when Xiaozhu is fully grown, you can take back the Mizuno Pavilion......"
"The Li family's direct family has been thin for several generations, so it has been internally unstable for a long time. In the future, the boy you give birth to can change his surname to Li and become Xiaozhuzi's assistant......"
He sighed: "My father is resourceful and has no last resort in his life, and although Su Mengzhen, the great enemy of Sanhe, is not as good as my father, he is also as cunning as a fox - and I have been regarded as an incompetent master since I was a child, so I can only calculate this step......"
Shui Bingxin hugged him violently: "No, you will always be the best man in the world......
She said sadly, "If it's all for our children......"
Li Zhong stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and laughed: "Sister, do you remember when we first met?"
Without waiting for his wife to speak, Li Zhong already said: "I was only seven years old at that time, and my mother had just passed away, and I cried all day long. ”
"One day, my dad suddenly said to me that he had found me a new mother-in-law......"
"I was angry and said I didn't want it, and then I saw your mother...... She was really beautiful, but in my eyes at the time, it couldn't be compared to my mother. ”
However, she also brought a little girl with her. ”
Li Zhong's expression was leisurely, and he was completely caught in the memories of the past: "I know that my father is forcibly taking other people's wives and taking your mother and daughter hostage to control your father. However, I have wanted a sister since I was a child. ”
"You looked trembling at the time, but when you saw me, you still shoved a slightly wrinkled apple into my hand, and wiped my tears with your sleeve......"
Li Zhong stared at his wife affectionately: "That apple is as red as your face, and it is thrillingly beautiful......"
Apples came from the West, and there are not many in Middle-earth, so they are still a rarity.
Shui Bing's delicate body trembled, and the back cheeks turned bright red, and he lowered his head.
Li Zhong said again: "Later, my father also left, and you were also taken back by your father, leaving me alone to ......."
"When I was fifteen years old, the retainers said that I was now the head of the family, and it was time to marry a wife and continue the bloodline of the Li family......"
"Actually, when I was fourteen years old, they had already forced a woman into my room. But you also know that I really touched her in the past few years, and I didn't want to touch her finger at all, as the head of the door, I can't admit to the retainers that my body is not good, so I can't give birth to more children......"
He said calmly: "So I sneaked into Kariya Castle alone and proposed to your father to marry you, when it was winter, and the whole of Xiangyang County was snowing heavily......"
Li Zhong laughed: "Your father told me that he didn't want to be Su Mengzhen's lackey, but he would never marry his daughter to the son of a beast like Li Qing......
He sighed again: "Your father is right, my father is a beast, but in this bullshit world, only people who are inferior to beasts can live well." He wasn't ruthless enough, he wasn't unscrupulous enough, that's why he died like that...... That's why I've always wanted to train Xiaozhu into a completely ruthless war machine, and only ruthless people can laugh until the end without grief or pain......"
Shui Bingxin, who had been listening quietly, suddenly cried when he heard this: "Don't talk about it......"
"You were kneeling outside in the snow and telling my father that if he didn't say yes, you would never get up...... So you didn't move, kneeling in the ice and snow for seven days and seven nights, without eating a grain of rice, drinking a sip of water, and the blood you coughed up was all over the ground, frozen into red ice cubes, and I remember the situation clearly......"
"It wasn't until I put a knife to my chest that I forced the maid blocking the doorway to rush out the door and lift you up...... At that point, you've almost become an ice sculpture......"
She whimpered, "You already have a dark injury, if it weren't for that time, how could your body be like this now...... If you can cultivate to the realm of conquering the heavens, you may be able to cure the dark diseases in your body......"
Li Zhong held her hand and said affectionately: "But I don't regret it." In this life, being with you is my Li Zhong's greatest happiness. If it weren't for you, even if I lived for 10,000 years, or owned the whole world, what would it be?"
Shui Bingxin couldn't cry anymore and fell into her husband's arms.
Li Zhong sighed and clenched his wife's hand.
"When I leave this vast world with gratitude, I will bless you and Little Bamboo underground. Although I am incompetent, I have also inherited my father's vile shamelessness, and I can't go to heaven, I'm afraid I can only go to hell. ”
His soft eyes were fixed on his wife's beautiful face, emitting an incomparably bright light.
"Sister, you have to remember that you are the woman I Li Zhong loves the most in my life, and the only woman I have ever loved. ”
Outside the window, Li Xun silently covered his face and ran away, already trembling all over his body and bursting into tears.
Many things are not as simple as you think.
Wu Feng wanted him to escape from the lifestyle of the Li family and be completely himself.
But he now understands that his unscrupulous grandfather and his stoic and introverted father don't have their independent self and true temperament?
Are all the things that Wu Feng taught him really correct?
