Chapter 38 Grief (2)
After Yun Qing knew that Yu Xi had fainted, he immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed back. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard crying.
Entering the room, the first thing he saw was Yu Xi's red and swollen eyes. Yun Qing felt a little distressed, walked over and said, "Death cannot be brought back to life, and besides, grandma is also dying, so don't be too sad." No one knows the grief of losing a loved one better than him.
When Yuxi saw Yunqing, she hugged him and cried loudly. Weeping and sobbing: "Why? I don't understand what I did wrong? Why did grandma treat me like this?"
Yun Qing helped Yu Xi to sit down, and asked: "What's going on?" This painting style is completely different from what I thought!
Zijin said: "The letter from the Duke said that Mrs. Zeng left her last words when she passed away, and she was not allowed to keep her filial piety. When the lady knew this, she fainted from grief. After waking up, she couldn't stop crying. Why? I can't persuade you." The so-called fainting is actually pretending to faint. However, Yuxi is also very familiar with the meridians, so she can still be fooled by the doctor.
Yun Qing was puzzled, and said: "What is not allowed to keep filial piety? What's going on?" Married granddaughters keep filial piety for their ancestors for three months. This has been a rule since ancient times. It is confusing to leave such a last word before dying.
Zijin handed the letter written by Han Jianming to Yunqing.
After reading the letter, Yun Qing's face was livid, what does it mean that Yuxi was taken away by the Western barbarians, lost her innocence and wanted to get rid of her family. This happened a few months ago, and he didn't believe that the other party didn't know. But to leave such a last word knowingly is purely disgusting.
Mother Qu gave Zijin a wink, and then took the other two maids out. Zijin also went out afterward.
Zijin didn't quite understand, and asked: "Mom, why is Madam doing this? This matter has nothing to do with Madam, why are you so sad?" Others don't know, but Zijin doesn't. My girl has no feelings for that old man at all. But it was fainting and crying again, making Zijin a little confused. My girl has done too much in this play! I don't know why, but I thought how sad she was!
Mother Qu said: "Ma'am, she has her own intentions in doing this." To turn this unfavorable situation around, you can only resort to bitter tricks. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to bear the reputation of being unfilial. If the uncle has a knot in his heart, it will be even more troublesome.
Zijin still didn't quite understand, but seeing Qu's mother didn't explain, she stopped asking. In fact, it's not that Qu's mother didn't want to mention Zijin, she just mentioned it several times and saw that she still couldn't get the hang of it, so she gave up and didn't want to waste any more time. Anyway, Zijin's main duty is to protect the safety of his wife, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't know anything else.
When Yu Xi cried until she had no more tears, Yun Qing asked, "Don't grandma know that the one who was taken away was a substitute, not you?"
Yu Xi cried so hard that her voice became hoarse: "How could it be possible that you don't know, the eldest brother will definitely tell her." After a pause, Yu Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I still don't understand why they treat Yu Chen like a baby bump It hurts, it’s worse for me, even for the servants in the mansion. Now that I’ve passed away, and I still leave such a last word, how should I spread it so that outsiders will think of me?”
Yun Qing's face darkened: "Them? Besides Mrs. Zeng, who else?" Changing the address from grandmother to Mrs. Zeng is enough to see Yunqing's attitude.
Yuxi showed a sad expression, and said: "There is also the third old man of my own father, the Han family. I was originally a girl in the third room, but later I was adopted into the eldest room. You know this?"
Yun Qing nodded, he naturally knew about such a big matter. Moreover, Yuxi was still very old when he adopted him, so he was still very puzzled at that time. Looking at it now, I'm afraid there is something hidden.
Yuxi grabbed Yunqing's right arm: "Princess Qinxin let out the rumor that I was destined to fail,
The third old master forbade me to live in the mansion, fearing that I would bring bad luck to the rest of the family. I have no choice but to leave the Duke's Mansion and go to Zhuangzi. "
Yun Qing was dumbfounded: "Just because of a rumor, he wants to drive you out of the house?"
Yuxi looked very sad, and said: "The village he wanted me to go to was sparsely populated, and it was far away from the capital, and it took a month's journey. Mother always loved me very much, but I hadn't adopted Dafang at that time. The third old lady had no choice but to drive me out. However, under my mother's interference, I finally went to my own Zhuangzi, which is close to the capital, next to the official road, and only half a day away from the capital." After finishing speaking, she told all the rumors about her unintentional rescue of Chen Ran and the subsequent rumors in the capital.
After talking about Han Jingyan bringing his servants to tie her up and send her away, Yunqing said with a cold face: "Yuxi, I remember that your third uncle is now a third-rank official?" He didn't trust his own daughter, but believed in a Unfounded rumors, how did such a person climb to where he is today?
How could Yuxi not understand the meaning of Yunqing's words, smiled bitterly, and said: "He is a second-class Jinshi, and he still has abilities. He just hates me by doing this. Actually, I don't understand why he hates me so much. In Hebei When he went abroad, he would give Yuchen gifts alone every year, but I didn’t have anything, as if I wasn’t his daughter. Later, when he returned to the capital, his stepmother often blew him away when he saw that I was not pleasing to the eye. Punish me without asking the reason, and again in winter, I stood under the corridor in the cold weather, because of the wind blowing Dantian developed a high fever, almost died, I was about to die, but he didn't even face him Show it off. Slowly, I also became cold-hearted." It's fine if you don't go back to the capital, if you want to go back to the capital, you will have to face these things sooner or later. Instead of talking about these things in the future, why not take this opportunity to tell them all. In this way, no matter what the rumors are outside, Yunqing will also face her.
Yunqing has only one thought, is this his real father? Is there such a father in this world? Stepfather is nothing more than that!
Yuxi said in a low voice: "I don't know why the third old master hates me so much. But grandma hates me, I know the reason."
Yun Qing asked subconsciously: "What is the reason?"
Yuxi recounted the story of her having smallpox back then: "My third elder brother is beautiful and extremely intelligent. He was able to memorize the Three Character Classic when he was three years old. If he survives, he must be the number one scholar. Smart and clever The third brother died, but I, an unlovable person, survived without a doctor's treatment. My grandmother thought I was a hard-fated person. After I recovered, she sent a message not to let me go to her Greetings. But although she doesn't like me, she didn't deliberately torment me, she just didn't want to see me and told me to stay away. "
A murderous look flashed in Yunqing's eyes: "You mean, when you had smallpox, that old woman even called away the doctor who treated you? Just let you wait to die?"
Yu Xi nodded and said: "Maybe what grandma thinks is right, I'm a hard-fated man!" It's not that hard-fated, how many children died in that smallpox back then, and she carried it through without a doctor Yes, it's not about fate.
Yun Qing sneered, and said, "As expected of a mother and son." One can watch his granddaughter die, and the other makes his daughter almost die but remains indifferent. This mother and son are really cold-blooded and heartless!
Yuxi burst into tears again: "Husband, tell me, what did I do wrong? Why did they treat me like this?" After speaking, she held Yunqing's arm tightly, and cried, "You said Am I really unlucky, or why would they treat me like this?" This time, she was not pretending, but really crying. The things she encountered before were not uncomfortable or painful, but she just forced herself not to To think, to look ahead.
Yun Qing was so distressed that he wiped Yu Xi's tears and said: "No, these people are too cold-blooded and have no heart." The so-called tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, Han Jingyan is not even as good as an animal. As for the Zhou family, the dead are the most important, so he will not comment.
Yuxi looked up at Yunqing, and asked with tears: "Really? Is it really not the reason for my bad luck?" She was just worried that Yunqing had a knot in his heart, otherwise she would not work so hard. Cough, I was too involved, and I couldn't control my emotions.
Yun Qing felt distressed: "Don't think nonsense." Seeing that Yu Xi still had a worried face, he said, "There used to be a wandering Taoist priest who said I was the lone star of Tiansha? But after I was arrested, I was tortured." Only then did I realize that he was instigated by others to deliberately tarnish my reputation."
Yu Xi's eyes flickered, and she said: "Is that Taoist impersonating?"
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "It's not impersonation, it is indeed a Taoist priest. But it was bought by the Song family to deliberately ruin my reputation." Liao Tong's old bald donkey is not a wandering Taoist priest, but he is also a shameless flatterer.
Yu Xi opened her mouth, and said after a while, "My husband is still the best." Can you not be the best? If you were an ordinary person, if you were told by a Taoist priest that you were the lone star of the celestial evil when the whole family died and you were the only one left, you would probably believe it and even hate yourself for it. Fortunately, Yun Qing, not only did not believe it, but used violent methods to justify his name. Cough, if she also has this ability, arresting Tong that old bald donkey and torture, maybe there will be unexpected results.
Yunqing patted Yuxi on the back lightly and said, "Don't think about it. Think about it, although you don't like Mrs. Zeng and the third master, but your mother-in-law and two uncles love you very much. It can only be said that Han Jingyan and the Zhou family are so weird that normal people cannot understand their thinking.
Yuxi let out a sigh and said, "Mother, elder brother, and second elder brother love me very much. If it weren't for them, I might not grow up."
Yun Qing didn't like to hear this: "Don't say such depressing words in the future." What does it mean to not grow up? Isn't this cursing yourself!
Yuxi nodded sincerely, and said: "I can't help it this time, I won't talk about it in the future." After speaking, she touched her stomach and said, "It's not good for the child to hear it!"
Tired of crying, after saying a word, Yuxi fell asleep. Yun Qing gently put Yu Xi on the bed, took the quilt and covered Yu Xi, but didn't dare to walk away, just guarded by the bed! (to be continued)
