Chapter 179 179: Will You Succeed in This Marriage?
Shen Mubai only felt the bitterness in his heart, he frowned, and couldn't see the expression on his face, "Mother, don't say any more, I know it well."
Shen's mother sighed quietly, "Mother knows how you feel, and also knows that you don't like to hear it, but mother still wants to talk."
Shen Mubai: "..."
"Back then, the Bai family, a prominent family in Kyoto, was so glorious. In its heyday, even the current General's Mansion could not compete with it. But everything has changed since that girl was born."
"First, the second young master of the Bai family encountered sand bandits while shopping in Tongzhou. The entire caravan was robbed, and the second young master of the Bai family even ended up dying in the wilderness with no bones left."
"Later, the talented third young master of the Bai family was involved in an imperial examination fraud case, sentenced to three thousand miles in exile, and sent to a place of smog in Baiyue. His whereabouts are still unknown."
"Later, the young master of the Bai family was involved in the whole family because of the official salt smuggling case. Even Master Bai was imprisoned. In the autumn of the next year, the whole family of the Bai family was executed."
"Because Bai Ruoxi was married and had to beg by Lord Lin for the grace, she escaped the catastrophe. But she didn't last long in the end. When the girl was three years old, she died of depression, and her soul returned to her hatred. sky."
"That girl is a catastrophe from the sky, an ominous person. Anyone who gets close to her will suffer bad luck."
"Mubai, Mrs. Bai once saved your life. I am grateful for her kindness and have never stopped you."
"But now, it may be God's will for you to meet Qing'er. It's God who can't bear to take you away from your mother, so you don't want to be with her again..."
"mother!"
Shen Mubai's eyes were red, Shen Sheng interrupted her, clenched his fists and trembled slightly.
"Wan Yue is not her!"
"She is not the catastrophe you say!"
"How old was she when those things happened? She was just a baby at the time. What does this have to do with her?"
"What kind of person who is born with disasters and ominous stars? It's ridiculous! It's just the malice imposed on her by the world! Mother actually believes it?"
"Are you, like those people, harboring such malice towards a pure and kind woman?"
Mother Shen was stunned by him, she was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she sighed deeply.
"Mubai, it's not that mother has prejudice and malice towards her, but there are some things that I have to believe."
"You have to forget that in the seventh year of Mingde, your elder brother and second brother were about to go to war, and she came to see him off. At that time, they never came back..."
Shen's mother couldn't help crying when she said this, but she tried her best not to cry.
Recalling the brotherhood in the past, when they went to the battlefield to talk and laugh and kill the enemy, Shen Mubai felt as pained as a knife.
He looked at Shen's mother and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, the death of the eldest brother and the second brother is the pain in everyone's heart, but it is not Wan Yue's fault."
Shen's mother took a deep breath, with a sad expression, "What about Mingde Nine Years?"
"In that autumn hunt, you almost died in the tiger's mouth trying to save her. Although you saved your life in the end, the wounds on your body that were bitten by the tiger are still there, right?"
Those injuries are naturally there, Shen Mubai gently closed his eyes, "Mother, the tiger hurting people is really an accident, these are not her fault."
"There are many people in the world, people are prejudiced and criticize maliciously, so what is wrong with Wan Yue?"
Seeing him like this, Shen's mother couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "I know you have been stubborn since you were a child, and I also know how important she is to you, but now that you have Qing'er, you should stop thinking about it anymore. .”
Shen Mubai smiled bitterly, "I know, all I wish now is for her to be safe and happy, that's all."
"Since you understand it in your heart, then mother hopes that you will stay away from her in the future. Mother has already suffered the pain of losing a child in middle age, and she must not bear it again."
"Your father and I are half a hundred years old, and you are the only son left. If you make any mistakes, your father and I will never survive."
Shen Mubai didn't speak, at that moment, he only felt a weight of weight was pressing on his heart, which made people exhausted physically and mentally, and made people breathless.
Shen's mother looked at him with complicated eyes, knowing that he might not want to hear it, but she still said it.
"When the Spring Festival is over and spring is over, the marriage between you and Qing'er should be put on the agenda. Mother's biggest wish now is that you can get married as soon as possible, so that you can spread the branches and leaves for my Shen family as soon as possible."
"Mother, I found someone to read it. The twelfth of March is an auspicious day, and it also coincides with the horoscopes of the two of you. Or, set the wedding date on the twelfth of March?"
"mother……"
Shen Mubai stretched out his hands to press his temples, feeling that his head was so painful that it was about to explode.
"Let's talk about this later!"
Mother Shen frowned, "Are you saying that again? You always say that every time I ask you! How long are you going to delay?"
Shen Mubai: "..."
Shen's mother also felt very tired looking at him, "Lin Wanyue is already married! There is no possibility of you and her anymore! What are you still insisting on in your heart?"
"Mom, I didn't! It's not because of her."
"Since it's not because of her, then you can give me a promise today, next March 12th, will you succeed in this marriage?"
Shen Mubai: "..."
Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Yu Qingyan hurriedly took a step forward, blessing her body generously:
"Mother, Mu Bai is now suffering from old wounds and new wounds. It's more important to see a doctor and recuperate first. As for the matter of getting married, let's talk about it after he recovers. What do you think?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, like the wind and water, which made people unable to bear to refuse.
Facing her, Shen's mother couldn't help softening her tone and face, "Okay, it's Yi Qing'er."
From Shen's mother's point of view, if it wasn't for Yu Qingyan, her last remaining son would have passed away, so she was extremely grateful to Yu Qingyan, and secretly vowed to treat her well.
After she passes through the door, she will never be treated badly, and she will never be wronged in the slightest.
...
That night, when the twilight was falling, a slender and graceful figure sneaked into the Eastern Palace as nimbly as a civet cat.
In the deep and dark underground palace, the red luminous pearls exude a strange light, and the white candles flicker with flames, arranged in strange and obscure patterns.
It's like some kind of ancient Sanskrit spell, and it's like an ancient totem.
"Styx has seen the master."
A slender figure knelt on one knee. The woman was dressed in black and wore a black gauze hood.
"explain."
The person with his back to her was a tall figure, with one hand behind his back, looking at the astrolabe in front of him, frowning slightly, thoughtful, and focused.
The woman knelt on the ground without daring to look up, and said concisely:
"Today someone wants to kill Lin Wanyue. There are three groups of killers. Two of them are third-rate killers, not worth mentioning, but there is one group, which is extraordinary."
The man's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't turn his head back, "What's the origin?"
"I don't know for the time being. But judging from their martial arts methods, they seem to be from South Vietnam."
