Chapter 616: Time is Running Out
Looking at the little girl's happy running away, you can imagine the joy when she gave the jade hairpin to her mother, and the way her mother was moved to tears when she received the gift.
There was a person wandering anxiously outside the gate of the palace, glancing in the direction of the intersection from time to time, and saw Liu Yunxiang's carriage coming, and hurriedly took a few steps forward.
The carriage stopped, and Liu Yunxiang was helped out of the carriage by Zijin.
"Steward Xu, what are you?"
"Girl, it's time for you, let's go home with the old slave."
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "But something?" ”
"Madame wants to see you."
Steward Xu is the housekeeper of Shilang Mansion, and the lady in his mouth is Liu Yunxiang's mother, Mrs. Liu.
Liu Yunxiang replied lightly: "I'm not available." ”
"Girl, I've been sick these days, and my health is getting worse and worse, as a child, you can be ruthless, don't you really go back and take a look?" The butler looked incomprehensible.
"What happened before, the butler knows."
"But it's over."
"Oh, you go back and tell her, I'll be dead then."
After speaking, Liu Yunxiang walked into the palace.
"Girl, it's not for Mrs. and Son's business, you can't just leave it alone, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang stopped and looked sideways at the housekeeper: "What happened to Yun Heng?" ”
Liu Yunxiang's relationship with his parents has been broken, but for Yun Heng's younger brother, the relationship between the two sisters and brothers has not changed. Although she didn't want to go back to Shilang's mansion, she still followed the housekeeper back for her brother's sake.
When I came to the East Courtyard, as soon as I entered the main door, I smelled a strong medicinal smell. Turning to the West House again, the maidservant opened the curtain, and Liu Yunxiang walked in to see Mrs. Liu sitting at the head of the bed, looking exhausted.
Her skinny eye sockets were deep, her cheekbones bulged, and her face was blue.
She's not long left......
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and walked inside.
Seeing her coming, Mrs. Liu's brows furrowed, and her face sank.
"You are also worthy of being a human child, but I am afraid that your mother and I will die, and you will not go to the grave and kowtow! How did I give birth to such a cruel daughter of yours, I ...... Ahem...... If I had known that you were so unfilial, it would have been better for you to ...... Ahem...... Strangled you early! ”
The more Mrs. Liu spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't stop coughing.
Liu Yunxiang stood three steps away from the bed and looked at her indifferently.
"You're out of breath...... You are the princess of Zhenbei...... We can't afford to climb the Shilang Mansion anymore! But your surname is Liu, and we gave birth to you and raised you...... Even if it was ...... before I was forced to send you back to the Jing'an Hou Mansion in desperation...... You shouldn't hold a grudge against us! ”
Mrs. Liu said, seeing that Liu Yunxiang was still indifferent, she raised her hand and pointed at her, gritting her teeth.
"I'm going to sue you before the king...... Sue you for unfilial piety...... Tell ......"
Mrs. Liu couldn't catch her breath, and she couldn't even speak.
Liu Yunxiang went to the table and got a cup of tea, and then walked back and handed it over: "Mrs. Liu, let's have a cup of tea." ”
The sentence 'Mrs. Liu' made the person on the bed stunned, she looked at Liu Yunxiang again, and saw that there was only indifference on her face, no resentment, no hatred and no care, as if she was really just Mrs. Liu, and she poured this cup of tea just out of a little politeness.
Mrs. Liu knocked down the cup of tea in front of her, "It's been so long, you can't forgive us?" ”
Liu Yunxiang looked at the teacup that was knocked to the ground, and she sighed, "It's been so long, and I don't want to mention it anymore." ”
She looked up at Mrs. Liu again, was silent for a moment, and said, "Back then, Xie Zixuan wanted to cut me with a thousand knives, and you tied me up and sent me to him for the so-called face, and that night, whether I lived or died, my fate with you was broken. You say I'm not worthy to be a girl, so are you worthy to be parents? When I was in Beijin, I recognized a godmother, she protected me again and again, sacrificed her life to save me again and again, and in the end, she was dying of being tortured by severe poison, but she still gritted her teeth, supported me, and planned for me, until I left Beijin smoothly, she finally went with peace of mind. You gave birth to me and raised me, that time you gave me to Xie Zixuan, I don't hate you and don't retaliate against you, this has already been repaid. And in my heart, I only have one mother, and that is my godmother. ”
Mrs. Liu's eyes were red, and she suddenly remembered that in the past, on a summer afternoon, her daughter snuggled up to her, she held her, taught her how to run the family when she got married in the future, and taught her that if she was bullied, she must go home and tell her father, and her father and mother are her backers.
They used to love their daughters, but later...... Later, when their son joined the army, they transferred the pain of losing their son to their daughter, hating her so much that they gritted their teeth.
Later, her daughter was bullied by the people of the Hou Mansion, and they distorted the pleasure of revenge.
Later, when her son returned, she was a little afraid to think back to the past, to remember what the couple had done to their daughter. knows that it is wrong and unforgivable, but as long as they don't think about it, they can still claim to be their parents.
The Book of Filial Piety says that parents are at fault, and those who are children should not hold grudges, this is their confidence.
If her daughter refuses to understand, it is her fault.
Mrs. Liu was silent for a long time, and she had to accept the fact that their mother-daughter relationship had been broken and could not be continued.
"I'm running out of time." Mrs. Liu said.
Liu Yunxiangmo, according to the development of the previous life, in fact, she should have died five years ago, just because she mentioned that her younger brother Liu Yunheng might still be alive at that time, which gave her the will to survive, and it took another five years.
She has done her best to do what she can, and she is worthy of it.
"Yun Heng told us two days ago that he might be transferred to Weizhou as an overseer. We wanted to keep him around, but he has great ambitions, and your father and I are glad to be happy. I have not been here for a day, and if I die, I will drag him down, so I will consult with your father, and he will resign, and then take me back to my hometown. I am dead, and I will be buried quietly, and I will not tell you. Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu coughed a few times, and then looked at Liu Yunxiang, still looking indifferent.
"You don't care about us, but you can't ignore your brother, right?"
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "So what happened to him?" ”
Mrs. Liu sighed: "I want to do his marriage before leaving Beijing, but the last thing on my mind is just that we discussed it with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but early yesterday morning, someone from their family sent the dowry back, and said that the marriage that was set before did not count." ”
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Don't count?" ”
After the big and the small, how can it be said that if it doesn't count, it won't count!
"Your brother refused to marry, but he didn't know where he had met, and he was very satisfied with these six girls, and when he came back, he urged us to go to the dowry. Knowing that the Marquis of Dingyuan repented of his marriage, he didn't say anything on his face, but how could he not see it as a mother, he felt uncomfortable. ”
Liu Yunxiangmo, the sixth girl is a good girl, she really wants her to marry her younger brother.
"What do you want me to do?" Liu Yunxiang looked at Mrs. Liu and asked.
