Chapter 149: The Rouge Goose Breast and the Legend of the West Chamber (32)
The dagger passed through Chen's chest, but it shattered into pieces before it touched the white glass. Listening to the sound of debris falling to the ground, the old lady's face also changed.
"Sister Bai, are you okay?" Chen Aman, who was originally floating in mid-air, actually had the appearance of a physical entity because of the old lady's knife. She turned around with an anxious face, looked Bai Li up and down carefully, and saw that there was no blood on her body, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death!" What's the matter with this Xiaochun, if she wants to kill me, she will come directly to me, why did she suddenly stab at you, Sister Bai. ”
"She's not Koharu!" Bai Ze stretched his waist and walked over, and when he received Bai Li's complaining gaze, he stretched out his hand and pulled it, and Bai Li fell into his arms after half a circle in place. "Li'er, don't be angry yet. Even if you want to get angry, you have to listen to me first. ”
"You can talk as you speak, what are you doing with me?"
"I'm afraid you'll beat me!" Bai Ze has a rather dead-faced posture.
"I didn't expect this, but if you don't let go, I'll really beat you." Bai Li clenched his fist, Bai Ze grinned, and quickly let go of his hand.
"I'm thick-skinned, you beat me, your hands hurt, I feel distressed."
"Less disgusting me." Bai Li hurriedly moved, "You just said that she wasn't Koharu?" So she's not Koharu, who is she? ”
She is the new lady of the Chen family, that is, the stepmother of Miss Aman, and the murderer of Master Chen back then. As for Miss Aman, it is true that she died of illness because of her, but it is not murder. Because of the medicine she gave to Miss Aman, Miss Aman didn't drink it at all. But then again, the rice and pork were indeed carefully prepared by her for Miss Aman, and Miss Aman did eat them all. ”
"Speaking of which, she's still a murderer."
"It's a murderer, but it's not exactly a murderer. As far as Miss Aman is concerned, she has the intention to commit the murder and the process of committing the murder, but the death of the girl has nothing to do with her previous plans. Lady Aman, indeed, died of illness. ”
"That's Aman's luck, before she was murdered, he was killed by the disease." After Bai Li finished speaking, he said back: "No, no, if she listened to Master Chen's instructions and found a doctor for Aman in time, Aman would not necessarily die of illness." Although she did not carry out a specific murder plan, Aman's life was still in her hands. If she is really Aman's stepmother, then she is a murderer. ”
"So what? I have never denied anything about Aman! The old lady's face became gloomy: "The master did marry me because I looked a little like Aman's mother, but I promised the master a long time ago." The Chen family has several shops, including rice and grain shops. My father and mother are tenants of the Chen family in the countryside, and when I was very young, I met Mr. Chen who went to the countryside to collect rent. He was handsome, gentle, unlike any man I had seen in the country. When I was 12 years old, Mr. Chen took his wife to the countryside for the first time to collect rent, and when he passed by my house, he went into the courtyard to rest and drink water. ”
The old lady's eyes began to soften.
"I know that he is different from others, but I don't know that he is so gentle and meticulous as a father-in-law. I don't know if you understand my feelings, but my father and my mother get along the same way as most families. My mother works all day long, hard work, but it is still not good in my father's eyes, and that is not right. When his temper came up, he scolded my mother even more. Master Chen is different, he doesn't care about his identity as a big man, nor does he care about the eyes of others, he shush his wife and ask for warmth, and he is considerate. I looked at him like that, and I couldn't help but like it. But I know in my heart that a country girl like me, let alone become his wife, even his side room is not qualified. ”
"If it's really like what you said, since you are married to Master Chen, you should be very content. Why do you ...... Why did he kill the man he wanted to marry. ”
"What are you anxious about, you listen to me slowly." The old lady looked at the sky: "The night is still long, and you have time to listen to me finish my story." ”
"Okay, let's listen to your story."
Bai Li reached out to pull Chen Aman, this was her subconscious action, and it was too late when she wanted to take it back. I thought that her hand would pass through the air, but I didn't think I would actually hold it. It's just that the hands she held were frighteningly cold. She was slightly stunned, but Chen Aman smiled and pulled his hand out.
"My sister's hands are too warm, and Aman is a little uncomfortable."
"Aman, you—"
Aman didn't know why this was happening, but Brother Bai must know. Shhhh......h Let's listen to her story first. Chen Aman looked at the old lady and didn't know what to call her.
Bai Ze said that the old lady in front of her was her stepmother, but no matter how she looked at it, there was no way to connect this old lady with the stepmother in her memory.
She herself said that she was Xiaochun, the former maid of the Chen Mansion, and she still had Xiaochun's identity tag on her body, but Bai Ze said that she was not Xiaochun.
Chen Aman was a little confused and a little confused, but there were more question marks in her heart, she didn't understand how this thing that seemed to be about to be explained clearly became complicated in a blink of an eye.
"Since Mr. Chen brought his wife back to the countryside, his wife has liked the environment in the countryside and said that it is cleaner than in the city. Because of such a sentence, Mr. Chen actually built a yard for his wife in the countryside, and the yard was built not far from my house. Every midsummer or autumn harvest season, Mr. Chen would take his wife to the countryside to live for a period of time. It was also the happiest time of my life. I have a sweet mouth, and I know how to read words and feelings, and under my deliberate flattery, my wife is also very kind to me, always inviting me to play in their yard, and letting me chat and drink tea with her. I secretly observed Madame, paid attention to her every move, and before I knew it, I began to imitate her. They all say that I look like a lady, but they don't know how much thought and effort I put into this image. ”
"I originally thought it was providence, but I never thought it was all man-made." Bai Li sighed lightly: "Why should you? If you hadn't deliberately imitated Aman's mother-in-law, you wouldn't have been chosen by Master Chen. If you hadn't been chosen by Master Chen, there wouldn't have been those things that happened later. If you marry a Zhuang family, you may be happier than marrying Master Chen. ”
When the old lady heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Bai Li, and finally shook her head and said, "It's a pity, there is no if in this world, if I could have met you earlier, if I could have heard these words you said to me earlier...... No! Even if I met you at that time and heard what you just said, I wouldn't believe it, and I would have made those choices later. This person, only if he has experienced it himself, can he know how to write the word regret. ”
