Middle House.

Mama Xia moved a pestle and guarded it through the curtain.

Originally, she shouldn't have eavesdropped on the conversation between the lady and the master, and whatever the master and husband said, it was not her turn to be a grandmother to point fingers.

But she couldn't rest assured.

There have been such a big change in the family, and the ups and downs of the lady's mood are all in the eyes of Mama Xia.

In the past few days, I lived in Guangde Temple, accompanied by Miss Wan, and the county lord also comforted Mrs. Although Mrs. couldn't be uplifted, she didn't blindly go down.

Madame is trying to think more about the good aspects.

Today, the punishment has come down.

The exile of the prince and the dismissal of the old man, in all fairness, were much better than the worst they had ever expected.

It's just that......

Mama Xia looked at the curtain worriedly, and even wondered if she should open a crack and take a sneak peek at the situation inside.

Don't look at the fact that there is no quarrel inside, and Mama Xia can't think of what her wife will be like when she quarrels with others, but this dull and dull is obviously not a good situation.

Those words that the lord said, alas!

That's right, it's good for the lord to treat his wife, but what are you going to do now to pull out the old grandfather and the grandfather of the country?

Madame, listen, how uncomfortable!

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, Mama Xia couldn't hold back in the end, her fingers poked out, and a thin slit was opened.

The oil light in the inner room leaked out.

Soon, it was dark again.

The wick is almost burning, and the light is naturally insufficient.

It's just that the two people sitting at the table, neither of them had the intention of dialing the wick, and of course, they didn't mean to let people in.

Xu Yi's hand was still held by Liu Jing and did not pull it out.

She hung her head like that, tears streaming down her face, and slammed it on the table, which was wet.

I cried fiercely, but I didn't say a word.

Such a reaction made Liu Jing a little unsure.

Liu Jing was sobbing, the middle-aged man didn't cry anything, but there were tears from it, and his tears were very restrained.

His current pain is real, but at the same time he is extremely calm.

He is an insider, and a bystander.

It's just that it is difficult for him to judge what kind of state of mind Xu Yi is at the moment.

Xu Yi's reaction was not the same as Liu Jing envisioned.

She was sad, sad, and weeping, but she didn't have any extra response to his long confession.

No denial, no advocacy.

I heard it all, but it was as if I hadn't listened.

"Madam," Liu Jing's voice was hoarse, "I have to go to the yamen tomorrow and explain all kinds of official affairs to other people."

"The official returned to his hometown, and the saint left me dignity, so I should finish it well. At the moment, I don't know who will take over the position of Honglu Siqing, so I have to explain a few more words, and the latter will be easy to use after he arrives."

"Then I want to send Xun'er again, I heard that the procedures are going quickly, and he will leave the day after tomorrow. I don't know if I'll ever see him again."

"After that, I will leave Beijing, you don't have to worry about me, and live in peace with Ahuan. Tell Jean what you need, and he won't leave you alone."

"I used to always think, I am a poor and white scholar, if you are willing to marry me, I must make a name for myself in the court, I want to prove that you didn't look away back then, I have to work hard to catch up while I am young."

"Ah Jian doesn't need your *** heart, wait for Xun'er to start a family and support the family business, wait for Ah Juan to marry a wishful husband and live a happy life, and when I am old and retired, we still have a lot of time to live comfortably."

"But now I know that there is no such time, I want to grow old with you, it seems that it is really not ......."

Xu Yi's tears fell even more fiercely, but she still didn't say anything.

Except for tears, she did not give Liu Jing any response.

Liu Jing saw this

, the heart is getting heavier and heavier.

Xu Yi is so wrong.

"Madam," Liu Jing's body leaned forward again, closer to Xu Yi, "Madam, if you have any ideas, just say it, in a few days, you and I won't even have the opportunity to talk like this......

The hand in the palm of the hand moved.

Liu Jing subconsciously unloaded the strength of his hand slightly.

Xu Yi pulled her hands out, took the handkerchief, and pressed it against her eyes.

Tears wet the veil, her eyes were red, and when she raised her head, her vision was blurred, and there was only one outline of Liu Jing in front of her.

She just looked at Liu Jing for a while.

When he spoke, his voice trembled violently, and Xu Yi didn't deliberately stabilize it, so he said, "I also want to go see Xun'er."

Seeing that she was willing to speak, Liu Jing's heart relaxed slightly: "Okay."

Xu Yi said again, "Does the master really plan to go back to his hometown alone? Leave me and Awa in Kyori?"

"I am reluctant to keep you," Liu Jing paused and sighed, "If you leave Beijing with me, Ah Jian will not agree." There is nothing in the township, and the life is poor, but it is not as good as the capital. Besides, Ah Huan will discuss marriage for two years, what can she say about good family affairs when she goes back? With Ah Jian protecting her, she said that it is always not difficult for her to have a family affair in Beijing."

"That's the truth...... Xu Yi's voice softened, "The master is right, you have been trying to be a good official and a good husband all these years.

You didn't owe me anything, and I don't regret my choice, even if one day when I go underground and see my father, I will tell him that I have not regretted my marriage in the past 20 years."

When Liu Jing heard her say this, the idea that she felt that something was wrong with her became even lighter.

This is the Xu Yi he knows.

Meek, obedient, and considerate.

He couldn't turn things around now.

What he could do was to leave a few more holes in Xu Yi's heart, so that Xu Yi would be stunned later, and Xu Jian would be dissatisfied.

With Xu Jian's temper, he is towards Xu Yi, but he may not have so much patience for Xu Yi, nor does he have so much time to accompany him.

is like the grandfather of the old country, and in the end, there are only four words: "let her go".

The person who is always reluctant to hurt her let go first.

Then, Xu Yi will go to him and leave Beijing for a foreign land.

In this way, the connection between Xu Yi and Xu Jian can be cut off, which is more effective than directly asking Xu Yi to go with him now.

"There is a lady this word," Liu Jing took a deep breath, "I'm happy, I'm really happy......

Then, he heard Xu Yi's "turn".

The voice was still very soft and unsteady, and what Xu Yi said was, "But you lied to me."

Liu Jing was stunned.

Xu Yi's lips curled, "But you lied to me."

Liu Jing's breath stagnated, and he said, "Madam refers to Xun'er's previous things? I did hide it from my wife at the time, it was my fault, and we said this at that time. Now that I think about it, I regret it even more. If I had thought more thoroughly at the time, or had not concealed Madame from the beginning, and we had solved Xun'er's problem earlier, maybe, maybe there would not have been today's disaster."

"When I brought it up, I didn't go over old accounts with the master," Xu Yi said, "I'm just thinking, the master let the people in the mansion hide these things from me, did he hide something else from me?"

Liu Jing's expression was much more serious: "Why does Madam think so? Madame knows best how I treat my wife."

Xu Yi was silent.

She looked at Liu Jing for a while.

Her vision was still blurry, and all she could see was the outline.

Curling the corners of her lips, she smiled softly, her smile was faint, but it was full of sadness and disappointment.

"The master is a very thoughtful person," Xu Yi said, "but tonight, the master is not thoughtful."

Liu Jing was slightly stunned.

"It's inevitable, it's inevitable to encounter such a big event," Xu Yi blinked, tears making her eyelashes

It's all sticky together, very uncomfortable, "I cried, cried very sadly, sir, you see, from beginning to end, you didn't think to wipe my tears for me, you wouldn't be like this."

Liu Jing's throat rolled.

For a moment, he was almost laughed at by Xu Yi.

Why is Xu Yi's focus so far away?

"Ma'am, I'm just ......."

Xu Yi shook his head and interrupted Liu Jing's words: "You are just very tired, the accident is too big, and you don't have the energy to deal with these little things. I know, I'm the same, my mind is messy, I can't take care of a lot of things."

Speaking of this, Xu Yi paused, but did not let Liu Jing interject.

Then she continued, "But I'm crying, I'm crying because of what my lord said, you're accusing Arjan, every word you say is piercing my heart, you want me to cry. You don't blame Xun'er, but you blame Jian......

Liu Jing's chest was very tight.

He suddenly understood where the wrong thing about Xu Yi came from.

The root lies in Xu Jian.

Thinking of the things mentioned by the monks in Guangde Temple, some clues instantly strung together in Liu Jing's mind.

Lord of Ning'an.

Behind the county lord is Xu Jian. Look at the book

"What did the county lord tell you?" Liu Jing frowned.

Xu Yi read the fear in Liu Jing's mood, and it flashed, which made her realize that the old man was afraid that the county lord would say something that should not be said.

But in fact, some of the things Xu Yi knew did not come from the county lord, but from Mama Xia.

When Xun'er fell into the water in Zhangping Garden, the lord once said in the Jinluan Palace that Xun'er admired the county lord.

That's not admiration, it's a convolution......

"The county lord is just comforting me," Xu Yi said, "The county lord only said Ah Jian, she didn't say anything about the master."

Liu Jing didn't believe it.

"Accusation" itself has many angles and techniques.

There are no heated words, but there is not necessarily no mind in it.

Xu Yi couldn't tell these ...... for a while

Thinking of this, Liu Jing pursed his lips heavily.

Yes, Xu Yi is very pure in his views on some things, he uses this purity, and of course the county lord can too.

It's just that this shortcut that should have been mastered by him was taken by others, and Liu Jing's heart burned in a panic.

Carefully analyze the county lord with Xu Yi?

Definitely not!

Liu Jing could only concentrate and then turn his head to explain, "Madam, I didn't mean to accuse Ah Jian."

The oil lamp was much dimmer again, and there was only a glimmer of light.

The shadow was full of shadows, and Xu Yi thought of her nightmares, those nightmares that were broken and had no before and after.

She stabbed at the master's dagger like madness; She was carried away by Ah Jian, and they were greeted with a long knife and Xun'er, who could not be saved; She saw the tears of Ajan as she held her parents' tablets and took her last breath......

Those images were intertwined, mixed with sadness, pain and madness, like a violent snowstorm, whirling before her eyes.

Tears poured out of Xu Yi's eyes again.

"Twenty years, I have not regretted my marriage," she wept, her vision became more and more blurred, the room was dark, she could barely see Liu Jing's outline clearly, "I don't want my twenty-one years to start regretting it."

Liu Jing's face was full of astonishment, and he looked at Xu Yi in disbelief, unable to believe that these words came from Xu Yi's mouth.

After a few moments, he realized that he couldn't let Xu Yi think like this.

According to his usual habits, he wanted to hold Xu Yi's hand again.

Poof-

The inner chamber was plunged into darkness.

The wick was completely extinguished.

Losing the light, Liu Jing's outstretched hand did not grasp the distance well, and fell straight on the table.

He didn't reach out to Xu Yi's hand, only touched a piece of dampness.

It was the tears that Xu Yi had shed earlier.

"Madam......" Liu Jing's voice trembled, he had to say something to redeem it.

Xu Yi didn't listen.

The chair made a noise against the floor, and she stood up and turned her head to look out.

She knew the home so well that she could tell the direction even when it was dark.

Soon, the curtain rose a corner.

Mama Xia, who was outside, noticed the dark light and was hesitating to come in and take a look.

The light outside came in, only slightly, and it was enough for Xu Yi to walk over without touching anything.

When Mama Xia saw her, the curtain was raised higher.

Liu Jing also saw these lights at this moment, and he hurriedly hurried forward a few steps, wanting to stop Xu Yi: "Madam, why did Madame say this? These words are so hurtful."

Xu Yi smiled: "I don't know, I just think, I should say this."

Liu Jing frowned and stared at Xu Yi tightly.

Xu Yi said to Mama Xia, "Light the lamp."

Mama Xia glanced at Liu Jing, and went in to light the oil lamp again.

There was a new glow in the inner room.

Xu Yi adapted to the light, didn't bother to wipe his face, and turned back to look for something to take away for Liu Xun.

Liu Jing watched her busy, and her mind rose and fell.

A lot of words turned around in his heart several times, and he wasn't sure if he should say this to Xu Yi.

At this moment, Xu Yi may not be able to listen to what he said.

Xu Yi packed up some silver tickets and sorted them out one by one, and then she went to Liu Xun's house silently.

Liu Jing followed her without saying a word.

Zheng Liu is gone.

The couple's house was turned into a mess.

Xu Yi sighed, picked up all the things scattered on the ground, and she had to get a few more clothes for Xun'er.

Then, in the midst of the mess, she saw a few pieces of paper.

There are words on it, and the handwriting is Zheng Liu's.

"Your sister doesn't know how to lift, what's the matter with me?"

"Your father didn't give you any ideas? If he wants to be the ruler of the country, he will do something himself!"

"You have the ability to shout at your mother!"

"Pleasing the Prince? The prince treats you like a turtle prince, right?"

Xu Yi blinked, and for a moment, she thought it was her tears, but when she looked at it carefully, every word on it was really real.
