Chapter Thirty-Eight: Another Version of the Story
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce. m.
It had been a long time since Ye Feng went to see Mr. Arazuki, and even Guan Pengju, the eldest son of the Guan family who led him there, didn't see him come back, and the people waiting in the courtyard gradually became a little bored.
Xie Zhenliang stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and looked up at the starry sky.
His father, Xie Jin, had taught him the art of stargazing when he was young, but he had never believed in it, so he only learned a little roughly, and he didn't really study it for many years.
At this moment, he looked up at the galaxy, just for show, lest the two curious fat men, Zhang Idiot, and Zhou Ziran, the prefect of Lanzhou, come to entangle and ask him again and again, because he really didn't understand what kind of medicine Ye Feng was selling in this gourd after being busy all afternoon.
Ye Feng is such a person, he hides everything in his heart, and he will never say it until the end.
After looking at the starry sky for a long time, his neck was a little sore, Xie Zhenliang retracted his gaze and looked at the round Zhou Governor's Mansion who was standing on the side and didn't dare to disturb him, and smiled secretly in his heart.
In fact, when Ye Feng returned to the Qinglong Dart Bureau, he once explained one thing to Xie Zhenliang, and after calculating it, the time should be about the same now.
Xie Zhenliang walked up to this Lord Zhou, mysteriously attached to his ear, and whispered a few words to him.
Lord Zhou's fleshy face was full of doubts, and he looked at Xie Zhenliang and asked, "This is what Ye Gongzi ordered before, what does this mean?"
Xie Zhenliang shrugged: "The specific inside story is not clear, my lord, you just do what he says." ”
Lord Zhou stood for a long time, looking a little confused, but he quickly turned around and called a few catchers behind him, and whispered orders to them.
Xie Zhenliang looked at Lord Zhou and nodded secretly in his heart.
His righteous brother does have such a ability, although he is often mysterious and secretive, and he will not reveal a word even to the closest people until the end, but he can make people believe him unconditionally.
It's like now, although he doesn't know what he's talking about, he still believes that whatever he does must be to find out the truth. And, judging from the current situation, the moment to uncover this truth is not far off.
Xie Zhenliang's heart was full of confidence.
And at this moment, in Mr. Arazuki's room, Ye Feng was looking at Mr. Arazuki with tears in front of him.
A person who sends his beloved woman to others, and has been watching his biological son grow up day by day for 20 years, looks more and more like himself, but he has to call other people's fathers every day and be coquettish in front of others' knees, which is indeed very cruel to anyone, and the pain in his heart can be imagined.
He sighed and said to Mr. Arazuki: "So in the past twenty years, you have behaved like your own and loved Guan Pengfei, and even taught you your swordsmanship?"
Mr. Arakitsuki calmed down a little and said: "Yes, in the past twenty years, I have loved Peng Fei very much, and I can't wait to pour all my everything into him, he is indeed talented and intelligent, and at a young age, he has learned my swordsmanship to the fullest. ”
"However, every time he calls me uncle, but calls my fourth brother my father, every time I see the intimacy and warmth between the two of them, I feel heartache!"
Ye Feng asked, "In the past twenty years, haven't you ever thought about letting your son come back to you?"
Mr. Arakitsuki smiled miserably and said, "Why not? I have been thinking about this day almost day and night! But the fourth brother is my great benefactor, how did you tell me to open my mouth? Not to mention that once he knows the truth and knows that the person he has loved for twenty years is someone else's son, who knows what he will do?"
"I don't care
, Even if he is ruined, or killed by the fourth brother in a rage, he will do it himself, and he should be repaid, but Peng Fei is still young, how can he hold his head up in the future? I don't want him to be hurt by half a point. ”
Speaking of this, Mr. Arakitsuki paused and said with some hesitation: "What's more, not to mention that Hongyu is also resolutely not allowed. ”
Ye Feng snorted and asked, "Mrs. Guan, have you always met?"
Mr. Arakitsuki nodded a little ashamedly, and said, "Yes, for the past twenty years, as long as I am in Lanzhou City, the fourth brother will always keep me staying in Guanfu for a few days every month. And every time I stayed overnight in the Kanfu, Hongyu would sneak to the little garden to meet me. ”
"In addition to exchanging heartfelt feelings and comforting each other when we meet, the most we talk about is when we will be able to return to me. And every time, Hongyu is fiercely opposed, she said that Peng Fei is now deeply loved by the fourth brother, and he is about to become the heir of the Guan family, this Qinglong Dart Bureau and all the family property of the Guan family, as well as the reputation and status in the rivers and lakes, will be inherited by him, and it must not be ruined because of me. ”
Mr. Arakitsuki was so sad that he almost couldn't say anymore: "I don't want to quarrel with Hongyu, and I don't want to ruin Pengfei's good future future, so I can only endure until now." ”
"I believe what Hongyu said, one day I will be able to recognize my son, and our family of three will be able to live together again and share a happy life. Now, it's just that the time has not yet come, and I am willing to wait for this day. ”
"I can't think of it, I can't imagine that now their mother and son have left me, since then heaven and man have been separated forever, I knew that today, why didn't I just tell it out at the beginning, leaving the Qinglong Dart Bureau Pengfei may be able to avoid this catastrophe, I really regret it!"
After that, Mr. Arakitsuki couldn't help but let out a loud cry of grief.
Ye Feng looked at the grief-stricken Mr. Arazuki, and when his crying became weaker, he said lightly: "Do you really always think that Mrs. Guan, that is, Miss Hongyu, really set up this plan back then, and it was really for the sake of your children?"
Mr. Arazuki's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at Ye Feng with puzzled eyes: "What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying?"
Ye Feng sighed and shook his head, who would make up such a story to deceive people, and besides, Mr. Arakitsuki has no need for this now.
He said softly, "What I mean here is that the Red Jade Girl designed it in the first place, and maybe there are other reasons. ”
Mr. Arazuki's eyes flickered, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is the reason?"
Ye Feng said: "The story between you and the Red Jade Girl sounds like a poignant and melancholy love tragedy, but perhaps, there is another version of it. ”
He looked at the puzzled Mr. Aragon and said: "I heard that the reason why the red jade girl was able to monopolize the name of the Oiran lady in Lanzhou City for several years in a row, overpowering the crowd, attracted countless swingers in the northwest area, in addition to her alluring beauty and excellent skills, in fact, her wit and resourcefulness are also difficult for ordinary women to reach. ”
According to the old bustard, there were other young and beautiful geisha who were better than Hongyu back then, but as soon as they emerged, they were framed by her design, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in Lanzhou City. And for those crazy bees and butterflies, she knows how to use the technique of leaving and wanting to refuse and welcome, so that they are all fascinated and can't extricate themselves. ”
Mr. Arazuki snorted: "The woman who wanders in the Fengyue place, I'm afraid this is the way to survive." As for the design to frame Yunyun, most of them are just jealous words of those women who are not as good as her, and there is no proof of it. ”
Ye Feng smiled faintly, didn't argue with him, and continued: "But no matter how beautiful the Oiran lady is, no matter how powerful her cunning and resourcefulness are, she can't escape her age. follow
As she gets older, the red jade girl naturally needs to find a good home, so she has a high-rise on the night of Qixi that year, and she picks flowers. ”
"That night, sir, you beat the crowd and finally won the selection. At that time, you were from a wealthy background, generous in your hands, not only were you able to match her flute and sword, but you also had outstanding martial arts and were a famous swordsman. ”
In the eyes of most women in the world, this is really a dream husband and a God-given marriage. Therefore, the red jade girl secretly promised you and entrusted her for life. And sir, you also fell in love with her at first sight, and you only want to stay together and never separate. ”
When Mr. Arakitsuki heard this, his eyes showed a soft look again, and it seemed that he had recalled those sweet memories of those days.
Ye Feng changed his words at this time, and said: "It's a pity, at this time, your family has suffered a great change, you have suddenly changed from a rich boy to a poor bastard, if it weren't for your good friend Guan Si Old Man to help, you would almost not be able to gain a foothold in Lanzhou City." ”
"This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the Red Jade Girl, and the fantasy of a good life suddenly comes to naught, in addition to the disappointment in you, there is also a deep fear. If she continues to follow you, not only will she have to say goodbye to her previous life of fine clothes and food, but even your food and clothing will be a problem. ”
"The most terrible thing is that she finds that it is too late to regret it now, she has not only ** with you, but also has already conceived your child! This is undoubtedly a death sentence for a woman in the Qinglou, she will either continue to follow you to endure hardships, or stay in the Qinglou to be a kiln sister with a red light. Years of hard work in exchange for the infinite life, all this will be lost, how can she be willing?"
Ye Feng paused, looked at Mr. Huangyue's eyes that shone with a look of surprise and fear, and then said, "Fortunately, at this time, you still have a rich friend, who is the old man Guan Si who helped you. Although she is older, in front of the red jade girl, if you want to keep her rich life and a splendid future, the only way you can choose at this time is to choose the way. But how can she appease you and successfully get close to Old Man Guan Si?"
So she took advantage of the child in her womb. After a long time together, she is very clear about your character, you have long been fascinated by her, obey her, with her wit, absolutely sure that you can manipulate you in the palm of your hand. ”
"Sure enough, in the end, you couldn't help her clever tongue, crying and pleading, and according to her plan, you succeeded in deceiving your great benefactor, and sent the red jade girl to the Guan Mansion and became the honorable Lady Guan. As a result, she was finally able to live a noble life of fine clothes and food again, and she was able to stand in front of everyone decently, and the old man Guan Si was also extremely fond of her, which was almost the beautiful life she had always fantasized about looking forward to. ”
"What's more, Old Man Guan loves Wu and Wu, and he also loves her and your child Guan Pengfei very much, naturally, he thought it was his son. Red Jade Girl, oh no, it should be Mrs. Guan, she made Old Man Guan alienate his eldest son Guan Pengju with a little trick, seeing that this younger son is about to become the heir of the Guan family, this Wanguan family property, as well as the noble and glorious status, are now at your fingertips. ”
"At this time, of course, you must not let Old Man Guan know the truth, and she must not let you destroy the beautiful future she has been planning for many years again, so she must stabilize you, and be false to you, so that you are willing to be silent for twenty years, maybe in her mind, you are the same as her son Guan Pengfei, just a tool she uses to achieve a better future plan, and what she loves most is actually the Guan family's wealth and her own noble and beautiful identity. ”
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he let out a long breath: "My story is finished, sir, can you agree?"
