Chapter 56: The Past
At Yan Li's insistence, the Ling family finally left with one-third of the Yan family's wealth.
After the Ling family left, the depression that had been blocked in Mrs. Yan's heart for ten years finally dissipated.
When Yan Li was resting, she deliberately asked her son to send her to Qi's family and told Qi Tanying and Mrs. Qi the news.
It's just that he didn't say how much the Yan family paid in order to send away the Ling family, the plague god.
Mrs. Qi was very happy to hear this, without the existence of the Ling family, after her daughter got married, as long as she had a good husband and mother-in-law, she would be able to live a comfortable life.
Qi Tanying was stunned for a moment when she heard the news, she still remembered that Yan Li once said that Ling's uncle had a life-saving grace for Yan Li's father, and Ling's had no choice but to stay in Yan's house, how could he suddenly ask to leave?
Yan Li saw her puzzled face and explained: "She has an aunt who married into Huai'an, and she plans to go to Huai'an to join her family. ”
It turned out to be this reason.
Qi Tanying asked with a little curiosity: "She has been in the Yan family for ten years, and you have never been interested in her?" ”
Yan Li shook his head with a straight face when he heard this, "A friend's wife can't be bullied, she is Xun Su's fiancée, I can't do anything to be sorry for my friend." ”
"But in the eyes of outsiders, she is your concubine!"
Qi Tanying stated the facts: "Just when you gave her the name, you were already sorry for Xun Su!" ”
Yan Li smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything.
Qi Tanying asked again: "In that case, why do you agree to take her as a concubine?" ”
Yan Li is entangled, how to answer this question? After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell the truth.
"After Xun Su said goodbye without saying goodbye, Ling Xuan had nowhere to go, my mother remembered Xun Su's father's kindness and left her to live in Yan's house. For the sake of her reputation, my mother originally planned to recognize her as a righteous daughter, but she did not agree, and my mother did not mention it again. ”
"I am unmarried with Ling Xuan's man and daughter, and after a long time, there are some gossips in the neighborhood, and in order to avoid suspicion, I rarely go home to live."
Yan Li still remembered that that day was the birthday of his mother, Mrs. Yan, and as soon as he was happy, he drank a few more glasses, and he was a little powerful, and he didn't even know how to get back to the room.
After waking up on the second day, when he opened his eyes, he saw Ling Xuan lying on his bed with only his middle coat, and when he was stunned, Ling Xuan woke up, and then ran out crying.
Yan Li's mind was blank after getting drunk, and he thought that he had really done something to her, so he thought that he would marry her and be responsible for her.
Just when Mrs. Yan was about to marry the two, the sprinkler girl red peach in Mrs. Yan's room reported the scene she saw to Mrs. Yan.
Red Hearts said that she saw Ling Xuan enter Yan Li's room after dawn and came out after half a stick of incense. After hearing this, Mrs. Yan became suspicious of Ling Xuan, but she still made people stare at Ling Xuan.
After all, it was the first time for Ling Xuan to do such a thing, and under the blow of shame and guilt, she gradually lost weight. Mrs. Yan hired a doctor for her, but the doctor said that she was fine, but her heart was too heavy.
Mrs. Yan thought of what the maid red peach said, withdrew from the rest of the house, and asked Ling Xuan bluntly if she had done anything to be sorry for the Yan family.
Ling Xuan was shocked and instinctively wanted to shake her head, but when she looked at the old lady Shangyan's clear eyes, she couldn't hide it anymore, and admitted her mistake in tears.
She was only momentarily dizzy before she did such a shameless thing.
Seeing that she really calculated her son, Mrs. Yan no longer had mercy on her, but she did not demolish her in front of outsiders, but gave her face and made her Yan Li's nominal concubine.
I don't know what's going on, after Ling Xuan became Yan Li's concubine, she forgot all about Xun Su, her fiancé and cousin, but became deeply in love with Yan Li.
Yan Li has always remembered that she is Xun Su's fiancée, and she has never been close to her, so Xuan Xuan is also calm, and she still hasn't given up after ten years.
In the past ten years, Mrs. Yan has not seen other girls for her son, but with Ling Xuan, she didn't succeed after all.
Yan Li has been stumbling until he is thirty years old, and at this time, a man of the same age does not have a wife and children, only his own son. When Mrs. Yan was in a hurry, she even persuaded her son to correct Ling Xuan's mind.
But Yan Li refused, in his opinion, letting Ling Xuan carry the reputation of the Yan family's concubine was already unbearable Xun Su, if it really became a good thing with Ling Xuan, wouldn't it be a wife.
Fortunately, Ling Xuan figured it out by herself, seeing that Yan Li couldn't accept herself, and she didn't want to see him and Qi Tanying in love in the future, it was better to leave.
After hearing this, Qi Tanying was silent.
"Hasn't there been any news of Xun Su in the past ten years?"
Yan Li shook his head, "There is no news." ”
The worst guess he had ever made was that if Xun Su hadn't been in great trouble, it was very likely that he would no longer be alive.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Qi Tanying didn't know what to say, seeing that he was depressed, she couldn't help but pat his hand gently, "Everyone has his own life, maybe he will come back one day." ”
Yan Li held her hand back, "I hope so." ”
After talking about the Ling family, the two then talked about the Qingxu Guan Lord, Qi Tanying has always wanted to figure out, why did the Qing Xuan Guan Guan Lord kill the royal family so viciously?
Yan Li glanced at his fiancée a few times, thinking that she was also a victim of this case, so he picked up some information that could be revealed and told her, Qi Tanying was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time after hearing it.
She never imagined that there would be such an organization as the Divine Torturer in the world, in the name of supporting the righteous path, but what they did was to murder innocents.
If she hadn't entered the stone chamber at that time, the county lord of Qingyang would have been bound by ropes with his hands and legs, and after the water poured into the stone chamber, the county lord of Qingyang would have died in Huangquan.
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as saving her life.
What Qi Tanying didn't know was that the county lord of Qingyang, who had come to his senses, was crying in the arms of Princess Changxing.
"Father, mother, Qingyang thought that she would never see you again."
Princess Changxing hurriedly comforted in distress: "My son is the county lord of the Holy Lord, and he has the true dragon blood of Gaozu flowing in his body, so he will naturally turn evil into good fortune and be safe." ”
The county lord of Qingyang shook his head, "No, it's not like this. If it weren't for Qi Tanying's many helps, my daughter would probably not be able to come back. ”
Hearing this, Princess Changxing paused, and her face was dissatisfied: "What kind of thing is she, why should my son promote her." ”
But I was secretly frightened in my heart, I didn't expect that the demon path of Qingxuguan had some real skills, that the daughter of the Qi family was really a person who could turn the murder and prevent disasters for her daughter, if she wasn't there this time, my daughter was afraid that she would fall into the same fate as the Lord of Lingjun.
Thinking of this, she didn't have so much resentment towards the initiator of the Qingxu Guanguan.
Seeing that his daughter's face was still a little pale, the prince of Changxing, who had not spoken up, said: "Qingyang, you have suffered a big crime this time, you must recuperate well, and my father will come to see you tomorrow." ”
The county lord of Qingyang nodded, and the prince of Changxing looked at his wife again, "Let's go, don't disturb my daughter's rest." ”
As soon as the couple walked out of their daughter's yard, Concubine Wu and the second girl from the west courtyard came over.
Seeing that the prince and princess of Changxing were there, he bowed slightly: "The concubine heard that the county lord woke up, so she came to visit with Bing'er." ”
Before the prince of Changxing could speak, Princess Changxing snorted coldly, "Posture!" ”
Her daughters are blessed men, and lowly ones are not worthy of being near.
At this time, the prince of Changxing spoke, "Qingyang just woke up and her body is weak, let her rest well!" ”
Concubine Wu nodded: "The concubine listens to the prince." ”
King Changxing was very satisfied with Concubine Wu's obedience, and he said to Princess Changxing: "This king still has something to do, you can go back to the main courtyard by yourself." ”
After speaking, he left with Concubine Wu's mother and daughter.
Princess Changxing looked at the backs of the three of them, her face gloomy as water.
After returning to the main courtyard, she called Mama Gu to her ear and commanded a few words, and Mama Gu went out with a solemn face.
