Chapter 310: The Past
Unexpectedly, before their post was sent, a post was sent over from the Hejian County Wangfu, saying that they were invited to drink tea the next day.
"I'll just go with my father-in-law, your mother and daughter will stay in the county office!" After receiving the post, Cui Pu's face was extremely ugly, and he immediately said to Mu Jiaojiao.
"I'd better go with the little lady! I have something to ask him. Mu Jiaojiao responded lightly.
"What are you going to do? What if you're not careful, and ask him to plant a few more bugs for you?"
"If he really wants to plant, do you think we can hide from it?"
Hearing her say this, another wave of chagrin came to her heart for a while, Cui Pu really wanted to slap herself - it's useless to call you!
Seeing this, Mu You also sighed faintly: "Let her go! β
Cui Pu immediately turned around: "Father-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes darkened. "Daddy, have you finally decided to tell me?"
Cui Pu's heart jumped violently!"Tell what?"
"Hey!"
Mu You sighed again. "Your aunt told me on her deathbed that she should not let those old things haunt you again, she will sacrifice her life and cut off all grievances in her hands. She only wants you to live this life without worry, and I promised her, so I have never told you anything about her. But now it seems that I can't hide those things. β
Hearing this, not to mention Mu Jiaojiao, even Cui Pu's spirit couldn't help but tense.
Mu Jiaojiao's background has always been an aspect of their constant suspicion. Her appearance and bearing are far beyond everyone in the Mu family, and her medical skills are even more extraordinary, and everyone in the Mu family is inferior to them combined. Especially when he and Mu Jiaojiao have been married for five years, even now, she often surprises him. This kind of innate wisdom and elegance in the bones is definitely not something that can be cultivated by people like the Mu family!
It's just that Mu Jiaojiao has been tight-lipped about this matter, so he didn't ask too much. After all, her external identity has already been decided, and her person has become his wife. He will have the opportunity to explore this problem slowly in the future, which should be a great pursuit of his life.
Unexpectedly, today, this mystery will suddenly be revealed!
Suddenly, there was a thought in his heartβhe didn't want to know the answer! He wanted to go on like this, and not to have any more accidents that suddenly appeared and shattered everything in front of him!
But is it still possible?
In a depressed state of mind, he heard Mu You say slowly: "Your mother's surname is Xie, and your milk name is Qiu Niang, but ...... After Chenjun Xie. β
Chenjun Xie!
Hearing this title, Cui Pu suddenly sensed a surge of blood in his heart, making him almost jump up and scream!
Chenjun Xie clan, from the Wei and Jin dynasties, is one of the top gate lords of the Wei and Jin dynasties and even the Southern Dynasties, is the clan leader at that time, at that time can be compared with them only Langya Wang, descendants will be called Wang Xie, the two clans live together in Jiankang Wuyi Lane. It's a pity that in the Southern Liang Dynasty, the Chenjun Xie clan slowly declined. In the last years of the Southern Dynasty, many gate valves went south by boat, and so did the Xie clan of Chenjun. Since then, the Chenjun Xie clan, which once left a strong mark on history, has disappeared without a trace.
Until now, when it comes to the Chen Jun Xie family, many people will still be full of emotion, lamenting that a once prosperous family that has cultivated many literary and artistic and even military talents has withered away and drowned in the vast history. He also sighed a few words with people.
But now, when he knew that the people around him had the blood of the Chen Jun Xie clan in their bodies, and even his daughter had inherited the blood of the Chen Jun Xie clan in her body, he had countless feelings in his heart for no reason, some joyful, some sad, but more helpless.
Such a top gate valve that once gave birth to a deep admiration for people who don't like to read, and now their descendants are by their side, this feeling...... He can't describe it in words!
Seeing that his eyes were round, his mouth was stammering, he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't spit out a word at all, and his hands were nervously raised and lowered, put down and raised, as if he didn't know how to react, Mu You smiled faintly: "I think that when I learned her identity, I also behaved like you." Come to think of it, that was twenty-two years ago. I was still young at the time, and my father sent me on a caravan journey, and I met her by accident. She is also like Kyaukyao, young, beautiful, and elegant and dusty, and I am dizzy. Even though I'm not a hairy kid anymore, I can't help but be fascinated by her. β
Recalling the past, a light smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "It's just that I know that we have a huge disparity. Even if she only fell into the clan, it would not be my turn to marry. However, she was very kind-hearted, and seeing that I was born well, we got closer and closer to me, and we talked happily. It was probably the best time of my life!"
"It's a pity...... When I went back to see her the following year, I found that she had become depressed. I accompany her every day, trying my best to make her happy, but it is difficult to see her smiling face. Then, she became pregnant, but said she couldn't have the baby, or she would die. After I knew, my heart ached, but I still chose to respect her wishes. I told her that if she chose to keep the child, I would marry her and take care of them wholeheartedly, and if she didn't want to, I wouldn't force her, but I would take care of her. β
"The child in her womb is Kyaukyao?" Cui Pu said in his heart.
Mu You's head was bowed. "Yes. β
"What happened then......
When she heard what I said, she just shook her head and laughed at me for being a fool and left. I waited for her at the inn for a month, and never saw her again, and I thought she had already knocked the child out, and I was about to leave. But the night before leaving, she showed up and said that she had thought about it, and that she was willing to marry me, but only on the condition that I leave everything behind and elope with her. At that time, let alone elope, I was willing to give this life to me! So, I immediately decided to elope with her. β
Belch......
Cui Pu couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes.
I really didn't expect that he, a seemingly old-fashioned and serious father-in-law, would actually do such a ridiculous thing when he was young! It's no wonder that his old man never disliked him, a son-in-law who was useless at the time, from the beginning!
"Later, why did you take me back later, Daddy?" Mu Jiaojiao suddenly asked.
"Later, your aunt gave birth to you, and she died of exhaustion. Before she died, she confessed her mistake to me, saying that she had used my time for more than half a year to selfishly enjoy the warmth of her husband's love. It's just that I am the heir of the Mu family after all, and it is impossible to leave the family alone. Now it's time for her to let me go. Speaking of this, Mu You's voice choked, "Originally, I heard her say that she would die if she gave birth to you, but I only said that the elders in the family would kill her." But it wasn't until that time that I found out that after giving birth to you, she had run out of gas, and she only had time to look at you, and then reluctantly explained the aftermath to me, and died!"
"Then what does this have to do with the King of Hejian?" Mu Jiaojiao asked again.
"Before she died, your aunt gave me two portraits, one of which was a self-portrait of her, and she said it was for me to remember. The other is a portrait of a man with whom I had seen talking from afar, but who parted without saying a few words. She said that she owed him a life and would give him her life back now as the end of the incident. But from now on, she wants me and you to stay away from that person and never have any more dealings with him. β
"That's what I was going to do. As a result, when you were one year old, on the night of August 15, you suddenly became ill! I asked all the doctors to show you, but I couldn't see why, and then when you were three years old, a witch doctor pointed out that you were a Gu. I thought of your aunt's appearance of dying of emaciation in the end. I told the witch doctor about her symptoms at that time, and it turned out that she was also a Zhong Gu! As the name suggests, she can't conceive, and once she is pregnant, she has to be killed. Otherwise, as long as she senses the existence of the fetus, the Gu worm will begin to absorb the essence in her body in a steady stream. When the child landed, it was the day she died. β
In the end, Mu You finally burst into tears. "I didn't know it! I had been immersed in the joy of her becoming my wife, and I shared a bed with her every night, and I didn't even know that her body was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and finally she had fallen to that point!"
Mu Jiaojiao stepped forward slowly, patted him lightly on the back and said, "I don't blame you for this matter. Since she is determined to give birth to me, she must have been ready to sacrifice herself. And if Daddy had known about the fetal Gu, she would definitely not have allowed her to do this, right? In order to make you nod, she could only deliberately hide it from you until the end. β
As she spoke, she sighed softly. "Although I haven't seen Auntie, I can know from your description that she must be an extremely intelligent person. If she really wants to hide it from you, how can you find out?"
"I know all this in my heart, but whenever I think of her haggard appearance before she died, and the suffering you have suffered over the years, my heart still hurts. I'm uncomfortable, I'm sorry for her. has been a husband and wife with her for more than half a year, but has never taken good care of her. has raised you for more than ten years, but I can only watch you suffer every year. I ......"
"Daddy!" Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly hugged her, "You have done enough for our mother and daughter." I don't blame you, Ah Niang, she won't blame you under Jiuquan!"
"Really?" asked Mu You, snorting and looking like a child.
Mu Jiaojiao fixed his head. "Liulang, my aunt must think the same way, don't you say?"
Cui Pu nodded hurriedly. "Mother-in-law has a spirit under the spring, and you only have gratitude and distress for your father-in-law, how can you blame you? You have done your best for their mother and daughter. β
"Yaaa~"
While speaking, the little lady couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly waved her two little fat hands and babbled at Mu You.
"Father-in-law, look, even the little lady said so!" Cui Pu hurriedly sent his daughter over. saw the little lady get into Mu You's arms, raised her little head and smiled sweetly at him.
Seeing her granddaughter's smiling face, most of the sourness in Mu You's heart dissipated.
Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"According to what you say, I and the Gu in A-Niang are inseparable from the King of Hejian County. In that case, we should go to him together and ask him for clarification. Mu Jiaojiao said in a deep voice.
"And the little lady!" Cui Pu also shouted with a gloomy face, "It is not enough that he has killed a life, and you have been tortured for seventeen or eighteen years, and now you don't even let go of our little lady." I will definitely not let this person go, I must go to him to seek justice for you!"
