Chapter Twenty-Three: Madam, you don't want your ex-husband to know about his life, do you? (Please follow up!) )
Xinzheng, Nancheng, Zuo Sima Mansion
The night breeze gently blew Madame Hu's emerald green and light long dress, she stroked the hair around her ears with her fingertips, and looked up at the brilliant stars in the sky, her eyes full of sorrow.
In the past, she should have been in the theater at this time.
Her younger sister is Hu Meiren, the favorite concubine of the current King of Han, with a noble status, and her status in the harem is only below that of the lady Mingzhu, who is known as the "uncrowned queen".
But no matter how noble Hu Meiren's status is, she has never forgotten the feelings between the sisters, and the common hobby between the sisters - watching plays.
(PS: There is no drama in the Sengoku period, but ...... After all, it's the world of Qin Shi, and the anime plot is like this, so don't barrigate)
Every three days, Hu Meiren will send a carriage and guards to pick up Mrs. Hu to watch the play together in the theater, which is very intimate. And Liu Yi is often busy with official business and can't take a break, so he simply doesn't ask much, after all, even Han Wangan doesn't ask much about Hu Meiren, so he can't help their sisters get together to catch up.
And Liu Yi was reluctant to go home for the past two days, and it was not difficult to hear from the housekeeper's words that Liu Yi was a little dissatisfied with her coldness over the years, and she was debauched outside.
She hated places like Zilanxuan, but she didn't show much of it.
Because in the final analysis, she and Liu Yi are just a formal combination, she doesn't love Liu Yi in the first place, although she will fulfill the obligations of a wife, but she can't treat Liu Yi with any sincere emotion.
It's just that the family is broken and there is nowhere to go, and I was separated from my sister at that time. Liu Yi took her in alone, and out of gratitude, she did not refuse Liu Yi's courtship, so the sorrow in her eyes naturally could not be because of her husband's coldness.
"Could it be...... It's really his ghost...... Are you back? ”
Madame Hu's hand was hidden in the emerald green sleeve of her coat, and she clutched a crystal clear red jade stone tightly in her hand.
It was a pendant wrapped in golden threads, bright red but slightly transparent, and you could clearly see the bloodline intertwined lines.
And its color is like fire, and the blood line is like rain, so it is called fire rain agate.
Seeing things and thinking about people, but the old people are long gone.
Many years ago, Huoyu Agate was a specialty of her father's fiefdom, and all the Huoyu Agate deposits were in that villa, and because of this, her father would suddenly become rich, and he was called Huoyu Gong for a while, and that mountain villa was also known as Huoyu Villa.
Huo Yugong is a good person, and he often takes care of the surrounding villagers, but he is rich and famous, and he will always cause trouble.
The three famous robbers of Baiyue set their sights on Huoyu Villa, and the world called them Broken Hair Saburo.
Broken hair Saburo suddenly sneaked into Huoyu Villa one night, burned Zhuangzi clean with a fire, and killed all the puppets, and took away all the wealth accumulated by Huoyu Gong for a long time and agreed to divide the wealth equally between the three afterwards, but died tragically in the mountains at the same time soon after, the cause of death is unknown.
Since then, the famous Huoyu Villa has completely disappeared from people's sight along with the mountain of treasures, and Mrs. Hu and her sister Hu Meiren have lost everything except each other.
Especially Mrs. Hu, who had just given birth to a daughter at that time, she suddenly heard that her husband Li Kai "disobeyed the military order", attacked without authorization, and went deep behind the enemy line alone, surrounded by the Baiyue rebel party, the right army was annihilated, and Li Kai also died on the battlefield.
Before she had time to accept the reality, she met the broken hair Saburo who came to the door, and had to ask the family of Huoyu Villa to take a small road to send her infant daughter away, and so far sixteen years have passed, and there has been no news of her daughter.
She often dreamed of a flaming manor in the middle of the night, and everyone was running for their lives. Crying, shouting, and fighting came one after another...... She was also in the crowd running away.
Suddenly, as she was fleeing, she heard two different voices, the former was clear and strong, it was the cry of a baby, it was the cry of her daughter; The latter was miserable and hoarse, it was the screams of a man, the wail of her husband Li Kai!
She looked back, but found nothing but ruins and corpses all over the ground.
Every time she woke up from a dream, she could only cry silently, and she didn't even dare to wake up her current husband Liu Yi, so she could only hold on to this fire and rain agate to relieve her worries.
It's just that the fire rain agate, which could have relieved her worries a little, has now become a "poison" that makes her miss her former husband Li Kai, who has been dead for many years. Because a few days ago, when she and her sister Hu Meiren were watching a play in the theater garden, they saw a person.
It was a slumped, ragged stranger, with numerous scars on his face, bandages, gray hair hanging down his ears, and he looked at himself with a strange and complicated look.
That look, she had only seen in the eyes of a man in her life.
There was a voice in her heart telling herself, and it was him!
The scarface, hunched back and ragged, overlapped with the figure in her heart.
It was the man who had stayed in her dreams for sixteen years and never left!
The man in sturdy armor and a bright red cloak, heroic and high-spirited
The man with whom she gave birth to a daughter!
The man who was supposed to be dead a long time ago!
That one...... Her big brother Li!
"Brother Li......"
Mrs. Hu held the fire rain agate in her hand tightly, and tears continued to fall down her cheeks.
"Madam, obviously she is the wife of Zuo Sima Liu Yi, but she reads the names of other men...... Isn't that a good idea? ”
A smiling voice came overhead, and Madame Hu was startled and sat down on the ground, her turquoise skirt stained with brown dirt.
She looked horrified at the man standing in the tree, a young and handsome young man with a playful smile on his face.
"Here...... This is Zuo Sima Mansion, do you know who I am! If you leave now, I'll act like I don't see you!" ”
Although Mrs. Hu was frightened of this young man who quietly broke into the mansion, when she saw that handsome face, she missed Li Kai more and more who was once heroic, and suddenly she couldn't bear to see this young man being captured by the guards of Zuo Sima Mansion, and wanted to let him retreat by himself.
"Of course I know that this is Zuo Sima Mansion, and I also know the identity of Madame." The young man in Mrs. Hu's eyes is none other than Zhang Ji. On tiptoe, Zhang Ji slowly fell from the tree, without making a sound, and looked at the beauty in front of him playfully, "Otherwise, why would I come to this Zuo Sima Mansion?" ”
"You ......" Mrs. Hu covered her chest and retreated again and again, but she took one step back and took two steps forward, she hurriedly shouted, "If you come over again, I will call someone!" ”
"This is Zuo Sima Mansion, and the guards in the mansion are all elite in the army, if they come, you will die and have no place to be buried!"
However, Mrs. Hu's threat fell on Zhang Ji's ears without the slightest deterrent, but Mrs. Hu's face was slightly pale because of fear, which couldn't help but make people inexplicably feel a sense of pity.
"Oh?"
"Madame really planning to call someone?"
Zhang Ji smiled, the lightning flashed under his feet, jumped to Mrs. Hu's side, put his head on her fragrant shoulder, put his lips on the ear that was so red that it seemed to drip blood, exhaled the heat, and said in a low voice: "Madam, you don't want your ex-husband's life to be known by your husband, right?" ”
