Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 85
Pei Youan’s gaze suddenly froze.
“You’an, this matter, in this life and this life, I didn’t want you to know, but the situation is different now. I think it’s better to let you know, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding between you and my father and son, and my heart is difficult to understand. So I am calling you tonight…”
“Your mother, Pei Wenjing, your father is me. This is true. You have to believe me.”
When Xiao Lie’s voice fell, the room fell into dead silence.
For a long time, Pei Youan only looked at the opposite person, motionless, and never spoke.
“Long live I am afraid that I am drunk. The guilty minister retire.”
He said suddenly, with the corners of his lips pressed tightly, then turned around, turned and strode away.
Xiao Lie stepped forward and pressed the door.
“Youan! Listen to me! I and your mother’s childhood sweetheart, this matter, I also talked about this when I met you here last time. She has a heart of love, and only then did I look for Yongxu, and I love her the most. I once vowed that if I was lucky enough to marry her as a wife in this life, she would be alone in this life. That year, I was seventeen and fifteen. After paying the gift of grace, I was about to propose marriage to my father. Crime, at that time, I was a young and **** boy. I wanted to make meritorious deeds. It would not be too late to come back and propose a marriage. I asked to go with General Pei to fight outside the pass. At that time, Wei Guogong was also in the army and fought side by side with me. The same robe, the same brother. The battle was extremely difficult. In order to seize the loop, the Hu people came out and dispatched 300,000 cavalry. They continued to fight for more than a year. Because of the heavy snowfall, the Hu people had no food and grass, and Fang retreated. When I went back, when I was outside the customs, I suddenly learned the news that my father was seriously ill. My eldest brother and the prince proposed to the father, and the father was the master. He married him and your mother, and the father also knew his own time. Soon, considering that the country must not have a mother, the prince married soon after the gift of marriage. When I rushed back, she was an adult woman, and my father also gave up Bintian. Before I died, I was named the King of the Clouds, and for me. He also arranged a marriage and pointed to the daughter of the big family…”
Xiao Lie stopped, his expression gloomy, and his eyes fell on the lotus platform on the table.
The lights were dim, and the incense sticks of cigarettes slowly lifted into the sky, like threads of silk, solidified into a tangled white mist in front of the lotus position, and then slowly dispersed and disappeared.
“Shortly after my father died, I went to Yunnan. I never saw your mother again. I thought I would never see you again in this life. Later, when I heard that the epidemic was spreading in Beijing, your mother was also unfortunately sick and was sent alone. I was recuperating here and my life was dying. When I heard the news, I was very anxious and brought the native medicine. I sneaked here from Yunnan and accompanied her secretly for half a year. After she recovered from the illness, I had to leave, but I never thought of it. , She gave birth to you…”
Xiao Lie took a long breath, and looked at Pei Youan, who was always tense and silent.
“You’an, I know you will find it difficult to accept this for a while, and I only blame good luck. Do you still remember the scene when I found you out of the dead when you were sixteen? I was ecstatic at that time. , The only thing I think about is that God treated me kindly after all. Although Wen Jing has gone, he has left me a bit of your bones and blood. I must treat you well, with you by my side, just like your mother…”
“Let me ask you, my aunt, since she didn’t die from the epidemic, how did she die?”
Pei Youan interrupted him suddenly and asked.
Xiao Lie was even more sad.
“I was not with her at the time. Before your grandmother passed away, I went to see her and listened to your grandmother’s words. After you were born, she was bleeding more than ever…”
His voice trembled slightly and stopped.
“Blood collapse and die?”
Pei Youan’s eyes slowly stretched out a few strands of blood, gritted his teeth.
Xiao Lie stared at Pei Youan, whose face seemed to be slightly distorted, and tears gradually appeared in his eyes.
“After your mother passed away unfortunately, you were adopted by your uncle. When I knew that you were there, you were the eldest son of the Prince Weiguo Mansion at that time. I can no longer hold you by my side and can only focus on you secretly. Youan, your appearance is very similar to your mother, and your talent comes from her. You don’t know that when you were a teenager, you were famous in the capital. Although I can’t be close to you, what is in my heart. Pride, what a pity. I really envy your uncle, who can make you face each other day and night, and teach you by precept and deeds…”
“I’ll ask you again. Was she willing in the first place, or did you force her?”
Pei Youan said again, interrupting Xiao Lie.
Xiao Lie was silent for a long time at the two eyes cast by Pei Youan, turned his head, and looked at the lotus place again.
“Why don’t you speak?”
Pei Youan’s face gradually became cold.
“Youan…” Xiao Lie closed his eyes.
“I dare not blaspheme your mother’s soul… everything is my fault. That night was my defense…”
“That’s because you are not qualified to blaspheme her again!” Pei Youan said sharply.
Xiao Lie was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes were scorched: “Youan, listen to my explanation! When I first came, I didn’t have any thoughts at all. I only hoped that God would be pitiful, and that she would be able to heal her sickness. But that night, the separation was imminent. For a while…”
He stopped.
“So you are more defensive on the grounds of love? When you were wayward, did you think about my aunt for half? She is a woman, how can she forcibly refuse you in her mood at the time? Don’t say you forced her first , Even if she is moved by you and willingly, if you really cherish her as you say, knowing that this is an improper act, how can you bear to treat her like this?”
“The reason why a person is a person is to know awe, shame, and restraint. Otherwise, how is it different from an animal?”
Pei Youan’s eyes were red, and his voice trembled slightly.
Xiao Lie was stunned, staring at Pei Youan, tears flickering, and nodding for a long while, and said, “What you cursed is that my animals are inferior. Over the years, whenever I think of the animal actions I did at the beginning, I regret it. If it were not my fault, your mother would not leave early. Now that Wenjing has gone, I can no longer make up for what I owe her. Fortunately, I still have you. Youan, you don’t know how much I hope…”
Xiao Lie took a step towards Pei Youan, reaching out as if to grab his arm.
“With my mother’s life, my life, I would rather never be born in the world!”
Pei Youan said coldly, bypassing Xiao Lie, before coming to the altar, staring at the lotus platform for a moment, kneeling, knocking three times, then got up, opened the door and left.
Xiao Lie chased him up and said behind his back: “Youan! I’m sorry to your mother, and I’m also sorry to you. I’m telling you this tonight. I hope you and my father and son are in the same mind! I am your father! Your mother was desperate to die. Under you, I don’t want to see you and my father and son in this situation today, I have already thought about it, my country, in the future…”
Pei Youan stopped abruptly, turned his head, and stared at Xiao Lie who was catching up with him, as if a faint blood stain was leaking from the bottom of his eyes.
Xiao Lie stopped abruptly, not daring to say another word.
“My father Pei Xian! Pei Xian, the first public defender of the Great Wei Shangzhu State! Long live your words carefully, and the guilty officials retire!”
Words and sentences burst out of his teeth. After speaking, he turned his head and walked out of the courtyard gate. The figure quickly disappeared into the night, without turning his head back.
Xiao Lie chased for two more steps, stopped slowly, looked ahead, breathing heavily, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Li Yuangui hurriedly appeared from the dark, entered and supported the emperor, not daring to speak.
Xiao Lie was supported and stood for a long time in the orphanage under the dark night.
…
The sky gradually became clear. Thousands of miles away in Quanzhou, the Zhen family was busy this morning, sending Jiafu on the road back to Beijing.
When Jiafu made this decision and informed his family, the Zhen family was still immersed in the joy of having just dug out the auspiciousness of heaven. Suddenly, Mrs. Meng heard her daughter’s proposal to return to the capital. It was accidental and reluctant. She persuaded her that her son-in-law was not in Beijing now. Moreover, when she left before, she also told her to stay in Quanzhou with peace of mind. There is no need to go back so early, but Jiafu insisted on leaving on the grounds of serving her mother-in-law, and it was not easy for Mrs. Meng to stop her and arrange her return to Beijing. Zhen Yaoting was supposed to send her sister back to Beijing in person, but Jiafu was persuaded by Jiafu on the grounds that he needed his support at home, and finally chose to trust the steward to **** Jiafu on the road. Only Meng, Zhen Yaoting, Yuzhu and others sent them off, one by one. bid farewell.
When the man got on the carriage, the smile on Gaffer’s face disappeared, and he was amazed. The carriage gradually came out of the city gate and went up to the post road, but suddenly stopped, and the steward said that someone had stopped it.
Gaffer went out, saw Yang Yun stopped in front of the car, walked quickly, and said: “Madam, the lord has something to say before, leave the wife in Quanzhou, please listen to the adult, and don’t embarrass the humble position.”
Gaffer stared at him: “I ask you, did you arrange the thing dug out in my dock the other day?”
A few days ago, a jade seal was dug up by people working in the Zhen family’s dock. In the end, it was said that it was a jade seal that had been hidden for several years.
After hearing the news, Jiafu immediately guessed that it should be Pei Youan’s arrangement, and his heart became more and more worried. How could he keep it?
After she asked, she saw Yang Yun staying silent, and sneered: “What good things your adults have done? He won’t tell me. If you want to come to me and ask you, you won’t know how to say it. I won’t ask at all to avoid embarrassment. You. It’s just this way, and it’s not your family man-made. This trip to the capital, I’m back! If he doesn’t let me go, you will tell him to stop him personally. If he doesn’t come, I will go!”
After she finished speaking, she put down the curtains and ordered the steward to move on.
The carriage got on the post road, galloped away, and a cloud of yellow dust rose from behind.
Seeing the carriage go farther and farther, Yang Yun had no choice but to **** him, then turned on his horse and chased after him.
Gaffer ordered the sandalwood who was in the same car to take her own baggage, took out the letter that Yang Yun had transferred that day, and took out the letter from it, stared at it again, and slowly tore it into two, four pieces. , Eight pieces, kept on, under Sandalwood’s surprised gaze, tearing the paper into pieces, and finally reached out the car window and let go of his five fingers.
The small pieces of paper were blown by the strong wind on the post road and fluttered around, dancing wildly like butterflies, and dissipated in the fields.
