Chapter 68: The One Who Knows Her Best
Shen Xihe was stunned when he heard it.
The matter of Xie Guogong's mansion was in an uproar, and Xie Yunhuai's broken hair and righteousness also caused a sensation in Kyoto, she knew that Xie Yunhuai pointed out that Xie Guogong had murdered his wife at Xie Guogong's banquet, but she didn't know that it was murdered like this.
Xie Guogong, a great and benevolent person praised by everyone in Kyoto, and a person who engraved loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness into the impression of everyone in Kyoto.
At that time, Xie Yunhuai accused him of murdering his wife, and everyone believed it, and everyone said that Xie Yunhuai couldn't stand the blow of losing his mother, and he didn't know how to understand his father's middle-aged loss of his wife, and the suffering of the people of Xie Guogong's mansion
It is reported that Xie Guogong was grief-stricken at the wedding banquet, and even blamed himself for not fulfilling his father's responsibilities, and did not take into account Xie Yunhuai's feelings of losing his mother as a young man, and even regretted his marriage on the spot.
"Why is it so ......" Shen Xihe felt a little distressed about the breezy man in front of him.
"When he was young, he had a heart, but the woman had a marriage contract with someone, so he had no choice but to marry my mother." Xie Yunhuai didn't know why, but in the face of Shen Xihe, he actually had an urge to be willing to confide.
These heavy pains buried in his heart seem to have found a gap that can be spit out at this moment.
"Everyone says that he loves to re-issue his wife, don't say that the concubine room is not even a room, my aunt used to think so."
Xie Yunhuai sneered: "His steproom is his young love, I don't know when he heard that she has been widowed for many years, and I don't know when they have a head and an end, he is reluctant to take her as a concubine, and wants to stay with her, so he can only let my aunt make room." ”
Even so, it is impossible for Xie Guogong, who is praised by everyone, to be named as killing his wife. So it took him three years to achieve his goal, since his aunt became ill, for three whole years, he took great pains to let his wife drink the wrong medicine every day, watching her wither little by little, and pretending to be affectionate every day to ask for warmth.
There is a law in this dynasty: take concubines and female guests as wives for one and a half years.
The concubine cannot be corrected, once she is a concubine, the wife is dead, and she can only continue the string, and the wife cannot be corrected.
Hearing this, Shen Xihe thought of Xiao Changyu and Bian Xianyi, Xiao Changyu was also reluctant to take Bian Xianyi as a concubine, so he wanted to marry her, let her die unknowingly, and then continue to marry Bian Xianyi.
"Doctor Qi ......" Shen Xihe was a little apologetic, not knowing the inside story, which caused Xie Yunhuai's sadness.
Xie Yunhuai chuckled and shook his head to signal that he was fine: "He has always been kind to people, and he has done a wonderful job, I just sent those Lang Zhong to the Yamen, and Lang Zhong didn't dare to bite, so he had to admit that his medical skills were not perfect, and his medical skills were not illegal, and he did not swagger and deceive, so he did not poison people, but he was forced by the prestige of the Guogong Mansion, and he just ate a board." ”
It was precisely because of this that he couldn't stay in Xie Guogong's Mansion for a moment, he was afraid that he would be red-eyed that day and kill his father with a knife.
Xie Ji is not worthy of his life!
"I am a person who has broken off with my father, and everyone is an unfilial and unrighteous person, if Gu Girl marries me, she will be criticized for the rest of her life." The parents of the body, filial piety first.
Xie Yunhuai's actions back then were indeed criticized by others, and he did this first, which was the end of his career in this life.
Xie Yunhuai's hands with distinct joints but scars of different shades slowly sorted out the medicine tools he took out; "And at that time, I left the Guogong Mansion and turned my head to marry Gu Girl, if Gu Xiang persuaded me to go back to the house, it would hurt me, if Gu Xiang didn't persuade me, I was afraid that I would be rumored to be instigated by Gu Xiang, you must know that the Gu family has no sons-in-law."
Xie Yunhuai's words came from the bottom of his heart, and what he said was not wrong.
He and Gu Qingyu, no one has let anyone down, and the blame can only be blamed for having no fate.
"Why don't you want to leave her face to face?" I just don't want to explain the inside story, so it's better to explain it in person.
"County Lord, I was infamous back then, and when I got out of marriage, others told me that I was self-aware or didn't dare to offend the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As far as Miss Gu is concerned, there is actually no damage to her reputation, and if I divorce her personally, it will not be like this. ”
Shen Xihe looked at Xie Yunhuai quietly, it turned out that he thought so.
That's right, marriage is a covenant between his parents, and he is frank in looking for Gu Xiang to withdraw from marriage, if he still wants to see Gu Qingyu, there will be rumors in Beijing that Gu Qingyu and him have long been in love, or even worse.
At that time, the Gu family was cooking oil on fire, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at it, but if they caught a little, they would make a big fuss.
He just didn't want to tarnish her reputation.
"If she wants to live with you in the countryside......"
"No, it won't." Without waiting for Shen Xihe to finish speaking, Xie Yunhuai interrupted her categorically, "County Lord, she is Gu Girl, a model of the Kyoto Boudoir, and the head of the family. ”
A girl who carves upbringing, responsibility, and gratitude into her bones will not leave behind the mission that belongs to the Gu family's daughters for the sake of her children's private feelings.
Xie Yunhuai stood up and put the medicine box on his shoulder: "If she wanted to, she had thousands of ways not to marry into the royal family, but she chose to do it without hesitation, because she was a Gu girl." ”
After the words fell, Xie Yunhuai saluted Shen Xihe and retired.
He walked to the door but paused, his body did not move, he slowly turned his head, and half of his side face faced Shen Xihe: "County Lord, too." ”
Shen Xihe suddenly watched Xie Yunhuai walk away step by step, and finally disappeared.
She looked out of the window distractedly, and she couldn't help but walk to the window, looking at the smoke and rain, and couldn't help but smile: "I never thought that the person who knew me best was you." ”
Gu Qingyu has thousands of ways not to marry into the royal family, and Shen Xihe also has it.
However, they all chose to gamble because the responsibility made them duty-bound.
Although the Gu family was defeated in the end, Gu Qingyi had no regrets or shame in her heart, she tried her best.
Xie Yunhuai told her so much to tell her that she still had a choice, Xie Yunhuai didn't want her to fall into the whirlpool of imperial power, just because she stepped into it, either life or death, she would become the ultimate winner, and she would inevitably be exhausted and devastated.
So what?
She can indeed choose to be the delicate daughter of Daddy and Brother for the rest of her life, pretending to be innocent and ignorant, and enjoying the peace and comfort that they have tried their best to circle, but once Shen Yueshan and them are also defeated, how good can she be?
She was afraid that she would be ashamed to be buried with them even if she died.
They are a family, supporting each other and contributing together, which is a family.
Power is an invisible hand that controls everyone's hearts and pushes everyone to enter the game.
The Shen family has no way out, and as a member of the Shen family, she has an unshirkable responsibility!
"The smoke and rain fall, and the autumn wind rises. Some people enjoy the rain, some people look forward to the rain, and some people ...... "Shen Xi and Su Bai's hands stretched out the window to feel the coolness of the autumn rain," waiting for the rain to stop. ”
