Ninety-Seven Xia Brothers (2)
The snow on the mountains is so deep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoChen Rongrong is walking in the mountains, and he also has to be lucky to walk smoothly.
She never told Xia Qi that today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, was his real birthday. That's because she doesn't want him to know that his birthday is actually a person's death.
In fact, she never spoke of him to him.
She found the tombstone and threw the snow away. The stele is a very good bluestone, still glowing with the jade color of the year. The words on the stele are engraved deeply, one by one, clearly.
She sighed, lit the incense candles, and laid the offering away.
It's all my fault. She stroked the name on the stele. It's all my fault.
She watched the incense candle burn in a daze, and suddenly there was a rustling sound behind her. When she looked back, it was her husband, Xia Zheng.
Sure enough, you're here. As soon as Xia Zheng saw her, he also sighed.
Chen Rongrong nodded silently, gave him a place, and let him walk by. Xia Zheng stepped forward. I also looked at the name on this monument.
This is the name engraved by his own hand.
His name is Tian Yu. Xia Yu is twenty-four years old this year, so it has been twenty-four years since Tian Yu died.
He was the most outstanding doorman in Xia Jiazhuang that year, and he was also Xia Zheng's best friend. But maybe it is because of this that he appeared in Chen Rongrong's life so inappropriately. He only appeared three times, but that was enough—enough for a woman to make an irreparable mistake.
He was such a young talent, if it weren't for Xia Zheng's disbelieving eyes that night, he would have committed suicide in front of him.
With his death, Xia Zheng and Chen Rongrong couldn't tell whether he hated her more or she hated him more in those ten years.
Or they all hate themselves a little more.
Chen Rongrong hated her own selfishness - Xia Zheng had never suspected that the child in her womb would be related to others, but she couldn't help herself in his growing anticipation and joy. She wanted a relief, so she chose to tell the truth after all.
She was relieved. She left Xiajiazhuang and wanted to bear such a sin alone. She thought that as long as she didn't say Tian Yu's name, Xia Zheng would never know that this matter was related to him, but how could she know that Tian Yu, who knew about it, would still appear on the night she gave birth.
Although he has been running away for a long time, he also wants to see his child. But he also forgot to prepare—to be prepared to face his best friend.
He didn't know how to face it at all, just like Xia Zheng came to Chen Rongrong like this, but he didn't know what to do. But Tian Yu, who was so ashamed that he committed suicide by slashing his neck, made all his anger and sorrow dumb before he broke out.
He didn't think to face his corpse - even if he did something he felt was unforgivable!
Everything goes back to the past, or maybe it's his Xia Zheng's fault. Chen Rongrong is not his main house, just a concubine's room, but she and Xia Zheng are childhood sweethearts, and everyone in Xiajiazhuang knows that Xia Zheng only spoils her, and she is too spoiled.
Even Xia Zheng knew that he had gone too far. So when the main room that never came out died of illness, he felt some guilt, so he deliberately alienated Chen Rongrong, and even found an excuse to leave home for a while.
Tian Yu must not have a heart, and Chen Rongrong must think that he will not make a mistake. After all, for Tian Yu - she can't even remember what he looks like. The person in her heart has always been just Xia Zheng.
She underestimated the word "loneliness" and overestimated her and Tian Yu's will. It was only the second time they met, and the big mistake was made, and nothing could be changed.
She also tried to greet Xia Zheng with a smile when he returned. Xia Zheng also seemed to have resumed her usual favor, but she didn't understand why she would be so pale when she learned that she was happy a month later.
Only the woman herself knows who the child really is.
That incident turned Xiajiazhuang upside down. Of course, Chen Rongrong couldn't stay in Xiajiazhuang, even if Xia Zheng didn't drive her away, the old owner at that time, Xia Zheng's father, would definitely not be able to tolerate such a thing. But Xia Zheng didn't write her the letter of resignation after all. She didn't know if he was really reluctant or just retaliated for torturing her. She doesn't care, she doesn't plan to marry again anyway.
They were separated for ten years. If it weren't for the deputy housekeeper Li Xifei who hurriedly ran to say that something had happened to Xiajiazhuang that day, she would probably never have set foot in that place.
Since Chen Rongrong left, Xia Zheng has never married anyone, but is obsessed with martial arts, and his skills are increasing day by day. Since he took charge of the Xia family, there has never been a battle that has stumped him, so no one has thought about who else can take charge if he falls. But that time, he really fell. The owner of the village was blinded by poison, and in an instant, someone finally remembered this half of the hostess who had not been divorced - although she was only a concubine, her status was never low.
She came without saying a word. She overestimated her will again - she thought that she was just guilty of the Xia family, but she was just a little responsible, and it was not because she still wanted to go back to the Xia family, but she couldn't face the husband who was already blind, the husband whose life was in the moment.
She had sworn that she would not let her monarch step into the door of Xiajiazhuang for the rest of her life. But in the end, she didn't hold on.
- Xia Qi guessed correctly, he was indeed an illegitimate child, but - he mistook his father. Those strange eyes that looked at him were not because he was new, but because the Xia family knew that he was the source of the turmoil ten years ago.
Chen Rongrong really doesn't know now whether the deception he made to him from the beginning was wrong. At that time, he was afraid that he knew that his biological father had committed suicide because of this, and he was afraid that the child would settle the account on the head of the Xia family and grow up to take revenge, so he only told him that his surname was Xia, and Xia Zheng was his father - but forgetting to deprive him of the right to know the truth was also another pain.
Although it is strictly forbidden to mention this matter in Xiajiazhuang, but with all of it, there really won't be a day when you can't hide it?
Xia Zheng didn't break his promise. He has never treated Xia Qi badly - but in the end, he knows in his heart that he is not his own child, and those subconscious estrangements are inevitable. Maybe he is also angry with himself, but when his biological son is put together with this non-biological one, there are many choices, and he can't choose.
For example, who is the future of Xiajiazhuang for?
Chen Rongrong can only accompany him to suffer. No one mentioned the incident back then, but Tian Yu's death was because of her and because of him, and they couldn't just leave him behind after all. On the first day of the first lunar month, they had to come here.
Silently watching the pair of candles coming to an end, Chen Rongrong said dumbly, why are you so late today?
Xia Zheng didn't answer, as if he was hesitating about an extremely important matter. Chen Rongrong frowned slightly, and said, is something wrong?
Xia Zheng looked at her as if he had made up his mind, and said, I saw Jundao today.
Chen Rongrong's face turned pale in an instant, and all those sorrows who were just for Tian Yu and Xia Qi didn't seem to be able to show such paleness. She seemed to not know what to say, and as if she didn't know where to ask, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak.
Xia Zheng understood. He understood that she had a thousand words to ask. In fact, when all those things that she hesitated between Xia Qi and Xia Chen happened, she couldn't help but sigh, "If Jundao is still there, everything will be fine." Because, Xia Jundao is his eldest son - and this biological son was taken away like that when he was only one and a half years old!
If you say why he and Chen Rongrong can't be separated after ten years - it's not the childhood sweetheart of the year, it's not the love of the year, but the heartbreaking pain of watching the little child being taken away together. It was the first child of the teenage couple. Knowing that they are alive but never seeing each other, what kind of pain and torture is it compared to a complete parting and heart death? And back then, when Xia Zheng was depressed and alienated Chen Rongrong to leave home, who can say that it was not because of the loss of him?
When he was a teenager, he may have been really willful, so he faintly blamed Chen Rongrong for that incident. It was Chen Rongrong who insisted on calling this child "Jun Dao", which she interpreted as "A gentleman has a way", but he knew that this was just a sign that she had added to this child since she was a child, so as to prove that the eldest son of the Xia family belonged to her Chen Rongrong.
Who would have thought that it would be a prophecy?
Chen Rongrong only said three words for a long time, and muttered, he ...... Where is it?
In the palace. Xia Zheng seemed to be reminiscing, his face seemed to show some involuntary joy, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and became worried, but then he turned back to joy.
He still remembers me. Xia Zheng seemed to be very happy. He remembers...... ...... year When he saw me, it was in vain that I went to inquire about his whereabouts......
How is he? ...... How could he be in the palace? How long have you been hiding from me! Chen Rongrong was so excited that his body trembled slightly.
I'm afraid that after you know it, I can't help but go to him.
Chen Rongrong's voice trembled even more, and said, But didn't you go to him yet? How dare you...... How dare you go to see him secretly, have you forgotten what Fengyun Dao Chang said? You are not afraid...... Don't be afraid to cause him a big disaster!
I...... I actually met him a few days ago, and at that time, I didn't dare to be sure that he was him, but I gradually learned about it later. I didn't plan to see him today, but he accidentally offended Suzaku and was trapped in the mansion by this traitor. I'm afraid that Suzaku won't let him go, so I thought ...... today I want to talk to Suzaku.
Chen Rongrong's face became more and more pale. You went to see Suzaku?
She knew that although there were many people from Ouchi to Suzaku to court, Xia Zheng had never begged him, and even had a-for-tat confrontation with him. Probably because of this, Suzaku put him together before, so much so that the emperor almost killed Xia Zheng. Later, he had to get rid of this difficulty, Xia Zheng no longer disdained him, and he didn't dare to do anything with him anymore, but he just avoided it, and he had to meet him, so he could only avoid it. And to say good things to Suzaku is sadder than killing him.
"No, I didn't see it in the end, but ...... I met Jundao. Xia Zheng lowered his head when he spoke. "I saw that he looked good, and I ...... Or came back first. ”
Chen Rongrong heard that Xia Jundao should be fine, his mind was a little calmer, but he said again, but Jun said that he was ...... How could it be, how could he have fallen into the hands of Suzaku? Stopped, and suddenly said, it must be because of you—because you saw him the other day and caused such trouble!
Xia Zheng's face turned blue, and he only said, don't be in a hurry first, listen to me.
He just gave a rough idea of what he knew. The two looked at each other silently, and after a while, Chen Rongrong turned his face to the direction of the tombstone.
No wonder you're so distracted these days that you're always running to the inner city. She said softly. It's just that you don't want to look at him anymore - if Suzaku sees the clues, I'm afraid it will be very harmful to him. Now we have Junchao, and ...... There is also Jun Fang. We...... There has been no monarchy for a long time.
Her face that turned away had already shed tears, even if Xia Zheng couldn't see it, how could she not know it. But isn't it good that the eldest son, who has long been lost, is it good that he is safe?
He hugged Chen Rongrong. Right. He muttered. We have Junchao, and we have ...... Jun Fang.
