"You should not poison innocent people, no matter how hard you are. You have allowed evil thoughts to flourish in your heart and to fall into the abyss of unrepentance. You have done these evil things, how can you make your biological mother and sister love?! ”

The Great Elder was deeply distressed.

Jinyun Chong raised his head and sighed, his gaze ruthlessly swept over the ancestor ranking, "The grievance has been planted, and I can't turn back." ”

The Great Elder shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, and gave an order to the disciples outside the door: "This son has gone mad and harmed people a lot. Put him in a dungeon and don't get out without an order! ”

"Yes." The little disciple replied solemnly.

The Great Elder had to explain this matter to the clan, and of course he explained this matter to the patriarch first.

When the patriarch learned of this, he stayed up all night. Sometimes he pulls the window to look at the sky, and sometimes he makes the moon in the well. Many images of human figures flashed through his mind, and strong memories swept over his mind like a tidal wave.

In a trance, he saw Li Ying sitting on the blooming cherry blossom tree with her back to him singing, pink petals fluttering in the wind, surrounding her graceful figure and falling on her white palm. Suddenly, the little bit of pink turned into a drop of blood crawling all over the back of her hand.

He vaguely saw the blood-soaked fingers grasp his hand again.

It was as if everything was back to the nightmare hut.

He sat at the head of the bed and hugged Li Ying, who had just finished giving birth.

Li Ying snuggled weakly into his arms, and her eager wails rang in his ears.

"I heard your brother's conversation with you that night. You are quite prestigious in the clan, and you are a member of the clan. If outsiders learn that you have a personal agreement with the Li family for life and have children, you will definitely be regarded as a traitor. You know that you fought for me, and they also made a compromise and allowed you to go to your mother and keep your children. I knew that you didn't want to harm me, so you brought me to this hidden and uninhabited place to give birth, trying to hide people's eyes and ears. I don't want to stay with you in a paradise for the rest of my life. But you and I are turbidity in this world after all, and we can't be extraordinary. You see! Your people have come to arrest me, let go, let go of me! ”

Outside the door, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps.

Li Ying put the baby in his hand, grabbed the scissors that had been used to cut the umbilical cord on the bedside, and pressed it against his bony chest. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Yunchi, this kid pleases you, and the Li clan also pleases you. We must become the patriarch of Jinyun, change all this, and don't let this child follow in our footsteps. Li Shi and Jinyun depend on you! ”

The sharp knife pierced the living heart without hesitation.

Blood splattered, staining his pale and frightened face. His mouth trembled wide, and his heart ached so much that he couldn't say a word, just an uncontrollable staccato whimper in his throat. It wasn't until his brother broke down the door that he cried out loud with the child in his arms.

"Brother...... Elder brother. ”

His brother hurriedly bent down and hugged him tightly as he knelt on the ground, and called his breast name in pain, "Koike, Koike." Everything will pass. ”

Three days after Li Ying left, he returned home with her ashes in his arms. The brother, who had always been unsmiling, hurriedly held the soft and boneless baby for him. The words of his brother's advice passed through his ears like shapeless fluttering flakes in the wind, without a trace.

The whole world has lost its rightful color.

The Jinyun clan will favor the elder brother, and the old patriarch is old and intends to abdicate. The call for the elder brother to become the new patriarch is high.

He also understood that he had already lost the trust and support of the elders as a "deviant" person. However, what he didn't expect was that his brother took the initiative to give up the patriarch's election and willingly helped him to ascend to the throne, only doing the duty of assistance.

That night, he happened to pass by his brother's study and heard him and Yuqing arguing in the room.

Yuqing grabbed her brother's hand and prevented him from writing the letter of renunciation.

The elder brother held Yuqing's hand back, trying to gain his understanding with a firm gaze,

"Yuqing, I have you, and Xiaochi is enough."

The next day, my brother came to see Lan'er.

"Why?" He looked at his brother, who was always serious and rigorous, and did not show favoritism.

The elder brother was holding a rattle to coax the child in the cradle, and when he saw her crying, he had to pick her up and put him to sleep. After the girl fell asleep on his shoulder, he turned his back to him, looked out the window and said, "Your appointment with Li Ying is naturally fulfilled by you, and no one wants to resolve the grievances between Jinyun and Li more than you." ”

"I'm looking forward to your answer."

He immediately burst into tears, lowered his head and wept silently: "Brother, thank you...... Thank. ”

For this goal, he had to pick himself up quickly. In order to sit on the position of patriarch smoothly, he obeyed the arrangement to marry a young lady from a famous family in Los Angeles, and after giving birth to his eldest son, his "unbearable" "affair" in the past was gradually forgotten.

In order to let his eldest daughter with a special status grow up safely under his wing, he took a lot of effort, and inevitably neglected his eldest son who had just been born. His debts to Jialan and Chong'er were later made up to Xiuxiu. By the time he came back to his senses, Chong'er had already had a dislike for him, and he had a lot of differences with Lan'er.

Although his brother was relieved, Chong'er would go astray, and he couldn't escape the blame.

After so many years, he still hasn't made much progress, ruining Li Ying and Chong'er.

The wind whistled and the treetops rustled, muffling the sound of his sobs as he approached dawn.

Yuqing's death was finally blamed on the unknown bandit. In order to protect his reputation, Jinyun did not admit Jinyunchong's various crimes to the people.

Jinyun Chong, on the other hand, needs to be imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon for ten years to atone for his sins.

When Madame learned of this, she was so distressed that she couldn't sleep well, if it weren't for Xiuxiu Chenghuan's knees and comforting her every day, she thought she would have had a nervous breakdown.

Xiuxiu didn't know where her brother had gone, and her father only told her that her brother had traveled and would not return home until a long time.

But she understood that it was a lie. Because she's still young, she can rightfully be surrounded by white lies.

She pushed open the window, leaned on the window, looked at the unchanged scenery outside, only felt that the north wind was biting, her brother and sister were not there, and her heart was desolate, even the beautiful red lantern could not warm this bleak courtyard.

That night, she had a dream, as if it were there. She went to the dungeon where Jin Yunchong was being held, and saw her brother scarred and covered in blood, clutching the railing of the cell and roaring hysterically, as if to convey something to her urgently.

She woke up in a dream, sweating profusely.

In the evening, she rarely went to her father's study to say goodbye. Approaching the New Year's Day, the patriarch only thought that the little girl was here to ask him for a gift, but he didn't want her to say seriously: "Father, my daughter is now older and wants to enter Jinyun Academy." ”

She thought she should be sensible.

Jinyun Academy sounded the sound of reading aloud in the morning. Li Yi has been enrolled for one month. He traveled back and forth between Kongshan and Los Angeles every day, and he was in a hurry.

His schoolwork was excellent, and he entered the school with honors. There are very few people in the college who do not know his name. It's just that except for the stupid young master of the Bai family who dared to treat him as usual, no one in Jinyun Academy dared to approach him anymore.

It's good that he doesn't like to be noisy either.

That day, in the game class, he looked out the window at the frost white, waiting for the classmate who had been staring at the opposite side for a long time.

Suddenly, a thrilling call sounded in his head.

"Gardenia."

He scrambled to his feet, escaped from the serious and dreary class without saying a word, conceded defeat to his opponent, and then ran towards the empty mountain without saying a word.

Snowflakes lapped against his warm cheeks, and the exposed earlobes quickly turned cold.

He didn't have time to shake off the snowflakes on his shoulders when he lifted the newly erected warm curtain at the door, and a fiery warm current rushed towards him. His mother and brother sat around him on a small red clay stove, and they smiled meaningfully when they saw him return.

"It's the best way to eat a warm pot in winter." A slightly hoarse female voice came from the kitchen, and a red figure froze behind the mist for a moment, accompanied by a happy sigh, the figure broke through the dense fog in front of him, and rushed away like an unrestrained flame, hugging Li Yu, who was stunned in place.

"You're back!" The familiar voice was full of longing greetings and ecstatic reunions.

Hearing the voice of his concern day and night, Li Yi couldn't help frowning, hugged her tightly, and tears suddenly welled up.

"Finally, wake up."

Jin Yunlan touched his head soothingly, her eyes were full of tears, and she smiled without saying a word.

Li Yan slowly let go of her and looked at her whole body. She suffered multiple injuries to her body before she fell unconscious, and the external injuries to her shoulders and hands had shown signs of healing during her sleep, but she didn't know that the internal injuries were still serious.

After two months, her body has lost some weight, but fortunately, the white cheeks have returned to blood, and at this moment she is radiant and jade standing in front of him, wearing a red short jacket and long skirt, with a thick circle of snow-white rabbit fur on the placket and sleeves, looking playful and festive, like the New Year, full of hope.

Li Yi nodded reassuringly, and happily muttered: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up." I couldn't help but want to stretch out my arms and hug her again.

Jin Yunlan suddenly took off her hand, turned around and sat by the fire, picked up the rice bowl, and moved her index finger in the face of the aroma of food.

Poor Li Yi still maintained a hugging posture, standing there blankly, helpless.

Seeing this, Li Tang laughed out loud, "Puff, ha." ”

Li Mu patted him lightly and signaled him not to go too far, "Xiao Yu is thin-skinned, don't be ashamed of him." ”

Jinyunlan tucked her skirt and turned her face to greet Li Yi: "Ah Yi, come, sit." "She is anti-customer-oriented, as if she is at home in her own home.

Li Yan scratched his neck and sat down beside her obediently, but he didn't have much appetite at the moment, as if he was full just by looking at her.

Jinyunlan held on for a while in his scorching gaze and then raised her hand in surrender, she rarely responded to his straightforward gaze with shame, and said crampedly: "Ah Yan, you ...... Don't keep staring at me like that. ”

Mother Li pulled Li Yan's sleeve to relieve her embarrassment, "Xiao Gardenia, don't be unreasonable." ”

Li Yi has reined in.

The four of them gathered around the hot pot lively, eating and drinking, and chatting at the same time.

Jin Yunlan learned that in the days when she was asleep, Li Yi couldn't help but feel aggrieved for him, thinking that in order to correct her name, he actually lied to the world that she really had other intentions for them, and he was willing to fall into her "trap", so that she could regain the trust of the people and earn back her reputation.

Although he passed through the process of his participation in the academy competition, she did not know how the Jinyun clan would behave, and the deep-rooted prejudice of the people of Los Angeles against the Li clan, which must have tormented him.

But she understood that Li Yi didn't want her to stick to this, so she didn't mention it, and only said something funny. Referring to his sedan chair, she laughed and said, "Did you really sit in that sedan chair?" The reason I hadn't participated in the tournament was because I didn't want to sit in the fancy sedan chair. ”

Li Tang added: "No, Xiao Yu covered her face and walked the whole way that day, just like a big girl getting on a sedan chair." ”

Thinking of the humiliation that day and being talked about, Li Yan couldn't hold back a little, couldn't stand their mockery, and went out to breathe with the curtain.

Jin Yunlan was afraid that he would be angry, so she hurriedly chased him out.

The two stood and talked under the porch.

"Gardenia, don't be angry."

Li Yi turned his head, glanced at her deeply, and turned to look at the emerald and white snow scene in the distance, with a faint smile on his face: "When you wake up, there will be nothing in this world that makes me unhappy." If you find it interesting, then I am not a sedan chair for nothing. ”

Jin Yunlan's body trembled, and she quickly looked away from his face in flattery.

Oops, the heart seems to have been caught by him for a moment.

I haven't seen him for months, how can he suddenly become so good at talking.

She fiddled with her fingers and stared restlessly at the snow on the ground, a biting gust of wind and snow that blew the strands of hair around her sideburns through the eaves.

She wanted to reach out and comb it, but the person beside her took the first step, brushed her hair and clamped it behind her cold ear, and then a subtle kiss melted on her warm cheeks like snowflakes.

It happened that the cold wind blew the wind chimes, and the sound of "Ding Ling" resounded through the heart.
