I was sold to the silly young master of the Li family as a child bride. The master took a fancy to me, and the lady wanted my life.
I was sold to the foolish young master of Li Fu as a child bride. The master took a fancy to me, and the lady wanted my life. After eight years
of squalor, the man I love is finally back.
It’s just that he brought back my beautiful sister.
I was sold to the silly young master of Li Fu as a child bride.
However, before I married him, I had an indescribable relationship with Master Li Youcai.
At this time, Li Youcai, who had always been self-restrained in the eyes of outsiders, had a messy coat.
“Sir, if your ladyship knows..” My eyes were slightly wet, and I looked pitiful when I said this.
“Then divorce her.” He was fascinated by me, and all he said was what I liked to hear: “I’m protecting you, what are you afraid of?”
I put my chin on his shoulder and smiled slowly.
I’m afraid she doesn’t know.
I don’t know that the little bitch she keeps talking about is doing something that can drive her crazy.
“My Lord.” I called out to him softly.
Without waiting for his reply, he went on to say, “This armchair is so hard that Yiyi’s whole body aches.”
I heard that this chair was brought by his wife Hu Zhu when she got married, and she stayed in this study for many years.
“Can you change it?” I looked up at Li Youcai.
He reached out and took my hand on his chest and played with it.
“This chair is your wife’s dowry.” He said this without a trace of nostalgia.
When I heard him mention Hu Zhu, I pretended to tremble with fear.
He pinched my fingertips and laughed. “But she’s not as important as you.”
“If you don’t like it, change it.” I was so
ashamed that I hid in his arms, and my eyes were stained with a smile of success. When
I was ten years old, Hu Zhu spent five taels of silver to buy Li Fu from my father to be Li Yu’s child bride.
She said to my father, “When this girl enters my Li Mansion, she naturally wants to live a good life. Don’t come looking for her again.”
My dad believed it.
I believed it, too.
But as soon as I stepped into Li’s house, her face changed.
I am nominally Li Yu’s child bride, but in fact I am just a servant girl who can be bullied by all the people in Li Fu.
I’ve tried to get out of here more than once.
But the consequence is to be caught by Hu Zhu and beaten up.
In the past two years, Hu Zhu has either beaten or scolded me.
I know, just because of my more and more dazzling face.
“Ungrateful things.” Hu Zhu slapped me to the ground.
I sat on my knees, surrounded by familiar maids and servants. It’s been like this for
so many years. Whenever
Li Yu has a problem, Hu Zhu will find a way to punish me.
I bit my lip, and before the tears came down, I heard someone rush in.
Li Yu ran in front of me, and behind him was the old Mammy who was catching up with me with a cloak.
“Yiyi.” Li Yu frowned gently with a pair of silly eyebrows, and he protected me behind him.
“You can’t punish Yiyi.”
He doesn’t know that he will only make me suffer more serious punishment.
As usual, Hu Zhu smiled and coaxed Li Yu back.
And this time, the one who stayed was no longer as simple as being whipped.
She ordered me to be strung up.
A Mammy came up and put a cloth in my mouth.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the familiar armchair in the corner of the room.
Hu Zhu walked up to me and scratched her nails on my face twice.
“What were you doing the day I went to the Anshan Temple to burn incense?”
I am in the arms of Li Youcai.
But she gagged me, apparently not wanting to hear any explanation.
She took a delicate dagger from Mammy beside her. The cold blade of
the dagger ran gently across my cheek.
And Hu Chu’s voice was even cooler than dagger: “If you stay with Yu’er, I don’t want this face.”
Then someone hurried in from the outside, making the dagger in Hu Zhu’s hand tremble. The blade of
the dagger made a cut on my left cheek. The servant girl who
came in was startled by the blood on my face and hurriedly lowered her head.
“Madam, the Second Master is back.” The word “
Second Master” made my fingertips tremble, as if my heart had been cut by the dagger.
Li Xu is the half-brother of Li Youcai. In the year when
I was bought, he was sent to the north by Li Youcai to do business when he was just 16 years old. He never
came back.
I thought he would never come back.
“Your eldest brother is out of town. He says he has some business to take care of in Lincheng and will be back soon.” As soon as
I returned to Li Yu’s courtyard, I heard Hu Zhu’s voice behind me before I could enter the room.
“Well, I’ll go and see Yu’er.” The familiar voice made my body stiff.
Li Xu’s voice is much more mature than eight years ago.
A group of people soon came into the courtyard from outside.
I turned sideways, lowered my head slightly, and before I could call out to the Second Master, there was a sound of smashing things in the room.
It was the sound of the bowl being thrown to the ground.
“I want Yiyi!” Li Yu’s voice came out of the room, “I want Yiyi!”
He was already eighteen years old, but his voice was still as childish as a child.
Hu Zhu glanced at me.
I turned around and went into the house. After two steps, I looked back at Li Xu.
This glance was meeting his eyes.
At this time, the sun was just right, and he stood in the sunlight, which made his face look like a crown jade. As good looking
as it was eight years ago. As soon as
I turned around and pushed the door open, I heard his voice behind me: “Feather is sick?” I didn’t hear
Hu Zhu’s answer clearly, because Li Yu had already jumped on me.
He was wearing only a thin tunic.
“Young master, put it on..” The old Mammy behind him hurriedly ran up with her shoes.
Li Yu ignored her and stared at my face and frowned at him.
Had it not been for the foolishness between his eyebrows, this face would have been no worse than Li Xu’s.
I thought he was going to ask me where the wound on my face came from. Instead of asking,
he came up and licked my wound. He learned
this from the cat in the yard and licked it when he was hurt.
“Yiyi, does it hurt?” His clean eyes were full of heartache and deep guilt.
Shaking my head, I took the shoes from Mammy’s hand and said to him, “Be good, young master, and put them on.”
“Feather.” Hu Zhu ran in from outside the house and pulled me away from Li Yu’s arms.
She grabbed the shoes from my hand and squatted at Li Yu’s feet, skillfully putting them on him.
“How can you bare your feet while you are still burning?” It is not difficult to hear that the words are very painful.
Then he pulled Li Yu in the direction of the bed.
I stood aside and suddenly a small white porcelain bottle appeared in front of me.
“If it’s a little later, I’m afraid it will leave a scar.” Li Xu shook the hand holding the small bottle, and there was some concern in his voice.
I pretended not to hear it. He
just touched his finger lightly, and with a movement of his fingertip, he collected the small bottle.
His fingers were cold, not quite the same as in his memory.
“Thank you, Second Master.” I gave him my usual smile.
Thinking that I was not needed here at this time, I quietly withdrew from the room.
It was early autumn, and the sun was still shining. If
I don’t take care of this wound, I’m afraid it will be infected.
To my surprise, Li Youcai came back from Lincheng that night. When he
left, he told me that he would not come back for two days.
I led Li Yu to the front hall, and the reason was already in my heart.
Great. I’m afraid
Li Fu is no longer peaceful.
But what I didn’t expect was that there was another girl who came back with Li Xu.
The girl was so weak that she could see at a glance that her body was delicate and her flesh was expensive. She must be a lady who had been well cared for in the palm of her hand.
The girl looked at me at the door, her eyes misty and her fingertips trembling.
“Sister?”
She called me that.
I have a sister who is one year younger than me.
My mother and sister watched my father take me away and sell me without saying a word.
But at this time, my sister was transformed into the daughter of Lincheng Gufu Jinzun Yugui.
“My father sold me out so that my younger brother could live a better life.” Liu Huan-er took me by the hand and explained, “The Ku family wanted a daughter, so they bought me back.”
Her hands were white and tender, covering my hands, which made my calloused hands look particularly ugly.
I looked at her with a smile and said, “I am relieved that you have a good life.”
She threw herself into my arms and called me sister one by one.
But it doesn’t stir up a ripple in my heart.
Liu Huaner met bandits on the way to visit relatives, and then was saved by Li Xu, then followed all the way back to Ancheng.
Gu’s family had already heard the news and rushed to Li’s house to pick them up.
Liu Huaner said she wanted to play in Ancheng for a few more days and accompany me more.
Only I know. The person
she wants to be with is not me. When
I passed the garden with a food box, Li Xu was feeding the fish by the pond.
Liu Huaner stood beside him, as if chatting with him.
A pair of exquisite and small ears are dizzy with peach color.
“Second Master.” I nodded slightly as a salute to him.
Liu Huan-er took two steps toward me and called out to me, “Sister.”
I smiled at her and walked around her with the food box.
Passing by Li Xu, a stone tripped under his feet. The food box in
his hand fell to the ground and his body fell to the edge of the pool.
In the panic, I reached out and grabbed Li Xu’s clothes.
From Liu Huaner’s point of view, I can see that I did it unintentionally.
I clung to Li Xu’s arms and fell into the lake with him.
The water splashed and the fish scattered.
I pretended to be afraid and tightly encircled Li Xu’s waist, pressing my face against his chest and gently raising a smile.
Li Xu led me to the surface and soon pulled me ashore. The two of
us were soaking wet, and I could feel his hot skin through the soaked clothes in his arms.
“Sister..” Liu Huaner came to me.
As if I had just reacted, I stepped back from Li Xu’s arms. My figure must be very graceful at this time because my
dress is all wet and sticks to my skin.
Liu Huaner looked at me with a red face.
Suddenly there was a dry robe covering the body.
It’s the cloak that Li Xu put aside before. With a faint smile in his
eyes, he touched the left side of my face with his finger and said, “It’s not good for your wound to touch the water.”
I was stunned when I realized that he was talking about the wound on my face.
“Second Master Hsieh.”
He turned around and waved his hand. As he left, he said, “It’s better not to ruin Yiyi’s innocence.”
I don’t have any innocence.
“Mr. Li is really a good man.” Liu Huaner helped me walk to Li Yu’s Wutong courtyard and chatted with me on the way.
She said how Li Xu saved her and how he treated her politely. I pinched Li Xu’s clothes with my
fingers and kept silent.
When she finished, I looked up at her. “Do you like him?”
She lowered her head and did not speak, but her ears were red and bleeding. That’s what
these ladies do. I dare not say it even if I
like it.
I looked down at the road under my feet and gently raised the corners of my mouth. It’s okay
not to say it.
If he doesn’t say it, he’ll never know. As soon as
I entered the yard, Li Yu rushed at me.
Seeing me wet, he stopped in front of me. He looked at me and then at Liu Huaner beside me. He frow
Ned foolishly.
Liu Huan-erh saw that he had misunderstood something, and quickly explained, “Sister, she lost..” Before he
had finished speaking, Li Yu took my hands to his mouth and breathed a few breaths.
He rubbed my hands in my usual way.
He looked up at me and asked me, “Yiyi, are you cold?”
Without waiting for me to answer, he took me back to his room and left Liu Huaner alone in the yard.
“Young Master.” I looked at Li Yu who closed the door and called him softly.
Li Yu also did not answer me, and ran to the inner room to rummage through boxes and cabinets for a while.
When I couldn’t help seeing what he was doing, he ran out.
“Yiyi, change.”
He pulled Li Xu’s clothes off my body and handed me the clothes he had found in his hands.
It was his favorite set of light blue robes.
Because of the fear of getting dirty, I have been reluctant to wear it.
I raised my eyebrows and said, “Young master, Yiyi will get dirty.”
Hearing what I said, Li Yu’s eyes moved.
He shook his head, and the clothes in his hands were one minute closer to me.
“It doesn’t matter. Put it on. Yiyi is not cold.”
I looked at the small porcelain bottle in front of me with some surprise.
Li Yu, like offering a treasure, held a small porcelain bottle in front of me.
“My uncle said that Yiyi could use this.” He showed a row of big white teeth and smiled and waited for me to praise him.
The small porcelain bottle is the same as the one Li Xu gave me that day.
I patted Li Yu on the head and took the vase from his hand. “How did you get here?” I asked.
“From my uncle.” He looked at me wearing his robe and seemed satisfied. He continued to answer with a smile, “I gave my uncle a slingshot, and my uncle gave me this.”
I raised my eyebrows.
“The slingshot Madame gave you?”
Li Yu’s clean eyes flashed a trace of reluctance.
It was given to him by Hu Zhu when he was ten years old, and he liked it so much that he would hold it in his arms when he slept. Can’t touch anyone
but me. “Thank you, young master,”
I said cheerfully, bending my eyebrows.
Seeing me like this, Li Yu also bent his eyebrows.
He’s always been like this, clean and pure.
With a pair of filthy parents.
Li Xu’s Qingshan Courtyard is located in the northwest corner of Li Fu, which is a very remote courtyard. It takes a quarter of an hour to walk
from Wutongyuan. I haven’t walked
this way for eight years. The door
of Qingshan Courtyard squeaked when I pushed it open, which was particularly annoying in this remote corner.
“Yiyi.” Li Xu sat under the big tree in the yard and looked at me with curved eyebrows.
It’s the same scene as eight years ago.
Nope.
It’s not the same. The big tree behind
him is bigger.
I’ve changed. There are more things in
his eyes. Holding his robe in my hands, which had already been washed,
I went up to him and said, “Thank you for your clothes. I’ve already washed them, and I’ve come to give them back to you.”
Li Xu put the book in his hand on the stone table beside him and looked up at me.
He is very good-looking. It was like this
eight years ago, and it’s still like this eight years later.
“Yiyi blames me.” He didn’t pick up the clothes in my hand.
I lowered my eyes and put my clothes on the stone table.
“I dare not.” With my usual smile on my lips, I took out the little porcelain vase that Li Yu had given me from my sleeve and put it on the stone table. “The slingshot is the young master’s favorite thing. For the second master, it’s just a child’s plaything. The second master is certainly not the one who takes away people’s love.”
Li Xu gave a laugh.
The corners of his mouth rose, but there was no smile in his eyes.
His cold fingers grasped my hand and looked up at me.
“How do you know I’m not?” There is a sense of pique. Before
I could speak, Liu Huaner’s voice came from the door.
“Why is Master Li’s courtyard so remote?”
“Sister?”
I broke away from Li Xu’s hand, and as soon as I looked back, I saw Liu Huaner standing at the gate of the courtyard with a servant girl, with a thin sweat on her forehead.
It seems that it is not easy to find Li Xu’s yard.
She glanced at the clothes on the stone table, and her face relaxed a little.
“How is my sister feeling after she fell into the water?” She walked in.
It’s like I’m here to give her a reason to come in.
I nodded.
“That’s good.” She walked over to me and asked Li Xu quite naturally, “What about Mr. Li?”
Li Xu glanced at me and coughed twice.
“I have a slight cold, but it’s not a big deal.”
He said this to me, and it seemed that I was a little ungrateful.
Liu Huaner seemed to be waiting for the answer, hurriedly from behind the hands of the servant girl took a small box.
She opened the small box and found a pill lying in it.
“This is the medicine I always carry with me. It dispels the cold and strengthens the body. I hope Mr. Li won’t mind it.”
I glanced at the medicine and then at Li Xu.
Look at Li Xuwei’s eyebrows and you will know that the medicine is worth a lot.
Liu Huaner is really willing to give up.
I saw Li Xu reach out to accept the box in her hand, and then put it into my arms.
“Thank you for Miss Ku’s kindness.” He smiled at me. “Miss Yiyi seems to need this medicine more than I do.”
Yes.
I’ve been burning all day. When
I fell into Li Xu’s arms, Liu Huaner’s face showed a worried expression. I didn’t know
for a moment that she was worried about me.
Or Li Xu.
But what right does she have to worry about me. And Li Xu?
Li Yu protected me like a chicken and let me rest in the room for two days without doing anything.
He was lying on the edge of my bed with wet eyes.
Like a puppy.
“Yiyi.” He cocked his head and looked at me. “When are we going to get married?”
This is the first time in many years that he has said such a thing.
Although I was nominally his child bride, the whole house knew that I was just a cheap girl bought by Hu Zhu to defend him.
Yes.
I bought it to protect Li Yu.
So no one in this house cares about me.
In their eyes, I am a person who will die for Li Yu sooner or later.
I heard that Hu Zhu was looking for someone to calculate that only I, a person with eight characters, could block Li Yu’s death at the age of 19. The night I
found out about it, I sat in bed and cried all night.
The next month, I hooked up with Li Youcai.
“What’s the matter?” I sat up in bed.
Looking at Li Yu and Li Youcai’s slightly similar eyebrows and eyes, I think I can’t marry him in my life.
He also raised his head and looked at me very seriously. “As long as we get married, Mother won’t make things difficult for you. We can be together forever.”
I gave a laugh.
No one can be with anyone forever.
Not even a fool. After
Li Xu came back, I came to see Li Youcai for the first time.
It’s not that he’s not looking for me.
Is Hu Zhu has been staying in the house, and he also seems to be busy because of Li Xu’s return.
“If Yiyi can give birth to a son for the master.” Lying in Li You-tsai’s arms, I said sadly, “Your lordship won’t be so tired.”
Li Youcai listened to my words and smiled all over his face.
He put his hand gently on my stomach and said softly, “That Yiyi should do her best.” Naturally,
I will do my best. It is he who
does not live up to expectations. I was
so shy that I pulled up the quilt, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.
“The lady will not let me go.” My hands covered the scars on my face that had faded a lot, and there were many grievances in my voice. I will return
this scar to Hu Zhu.
Li Youcai’s eyes finally fell on the scar on my face. Naturally,
he had seen it long ago, the first day he came back.
But he won’t really do anything to Hu Zhu for a little me. “Did your wife do this for you?”
He asked. Ask
knowingly.
I blinked and shook my head.
“It was Yiyi herself who accidentally fell.” I squeezed the quilt in my hand and changed the subject. “I don’t like the color of this quilt.”
“Then change it.” Li Youcai was very satisfied with my change of topic and immediately complied with my wishes. Smiling,
I got out of the quilt and went up to him again. “Can I change it to peach?” I asked.
Hu Zhu doesn’t like peach color most.
She thinks sex is frivolous.
Then I’m going to replace everything in here with something she hates. When I
heard that Hu Zhu was making a scene with Li Youcai in the house again, I was playing chess with Li Yu and Li Xu.
“You don’t have to talk to me about my eldest brother’s family affairs.” Li Xu glanced at Li Yu and did not look back at the boy behind him.
Li Yu frowned at the chess in the plate, but did not listen to what others said.
I leaned close to Li Yu’s ear and whispered where the chess pieces should fall, and his eyes lit up at once.
But before the pieces fell in the air, he looked up at me again.
“Yiyixia.” He put the chess piece into my hand, “Yiyi, you come to play with uncle.” Then
he pushed me into position. Unable to
defeat Li Yu, I took the chess and played with Li Xu.
But half a cup of tea, I lost to Li Xu. Naturally,
I will lose to him.
After all, he taught me all my chess. Like throwing away a hot potato,
I hurriedly returned the chess pieces to Li Yu.
“Young Master and Second Master, let’s go. I’ll go and make a pot of tea.” As soon as
I came back from making tea, I saw Li Yu overturn a chess game to the ground.
He looks like a cat with fried hair.
“Yiyi is mine.”
Li Xu sat opposite him, smiling at the corners of his mouth, but not at all in his eyes.
“She is not.” This sentence is very calm, but loud.
Li Youcai told me that the purpose of Li Xu’s coming back this time was not simple.
Even if he doesn’t say, I know.
It’s just that Li Xu’s purpose should not be me.
I turned sideways and saw Li Xu in my room.
“Second Master can’t sleep?” I did not get up, smiling and holding up my head to look at Li Xu standing in the night.
He took two steps towards me. The faint light
outside fell on him, so that I could barely see his face.
“I’ve been thinking about it these days.” His voice merged with the night, a little cool.
He walked towards me as he spoke.
Ended up at my bedside.
“Do you hate me?” He was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn’t see the expression on his face.
I chuckled and put my hand on him softly.
Then he sat up and faced him face to face, so close that he could feel his slow breath.
“What did the Second Master say?” I ran my finger across his cheek. “How could I hate you?” At the end of
the conversation, my tone rose slightly, showing that our atmosphere at this time was extremely ambiguous.
Li Xu grabbed my hand. His hand trembled slightly. “Is this what you’ve learned all these years?”
Or what?
Waiting for Li Yu to be nineteen years old, Hu Zhu will exchange my life for his life?
I leaned forward and took a bite on Li Xu’s shoulder.
“Second Master’s ability is not small, and he is a different person from eight years ago.” I smiled coquettishly at him and pulled my hand out of his. “I thought you’d never come back here in your life.”
He looked at me and said, “I said I’d come back for you.”
Yes. Yes,
he did.
After I begged him, he said he would come back to pick me up. He
said he would come back to pick me up in four years at the latest. For
four years, I looked forward to him day and night.
But I didn’t wait for him. What I waited for was the news that I would die for him when Li Yu was nineteen years old.
“Did the Second Master ever say such a thing?” I smiled and leaned against him. Now I must look like one of those prostitutes. “That’s because Yiyi didn’t have the good fortune to write that down.”
I looked up at him and blinked.
With a startled look, he asked him, “Second Master has come back this time to meet Yiyi, hasn’t he?”
Naturally not.
If he really came back to pick me up, Li Youcai would not be like facing a formidable enemy. I know very well
Li Xu’s hatred for Li Youcai.
Sure enough, Li Xu’s eyes flashed, as if looking at me with some heartache. It
is natural to feel sorry for me.
Because from the beginning to the end, he never chose me.
“Yiyi.” His hand fell on the top of my hair like it was eight years ago. “I’ll take you with me this time.”
I grasped his skirt tightly with both hands and touched his lips lightly.
Seeing his startled appearance, I laughed.
“Second Master really likes me.”
For a moment I thought I saw the tips of his slightly red ears.
He got up from the bed so quickly that I almost fell under it.
“Yiyi, don’t do this.” The voice was slightly hoarse. The
mouth says no, but the body is honest.
I leaned over the bed and looked at him with the smile I used to seduce Li You-tsai: “Don’t you like it?”
Li Xu did not answer. The
room was suddenly quiet.
After a long time, he seemed to make a sound from his nose: “Yes.”
But he didn’t want to continue talking to me and turned to leave.
“Second Master.” I was still lying on the edge of the bed, with my usual smile on my lips.
Li Xu stopped and did not turn around. It’s good
not to look back.
I closed the corners of my mouth.
“Did you know from the beginning that I was using it to pay for Li Yu’s life?” Did you know
from the beginning that there was only one end for me to stay in Li Fu.
He suddenly turned around.
“I said I would come back for you.”
Sure enough, I knew from the beginning. The matter that
Li Yu wanted to marry me came to Hu Zhu.
Hu Zhu quietly glanced at me, who was following Li Yu, and coaxed Li Yu in a good voice: “Yu, you’re still young. We’ll talk about this in two years.”
Li Yu did not agree after hearing this.
“I’m already 18, and Lin Hsueh-tzu next door got married at 16.” He didn’t know where he heard about it.
Even I don’t know.
Hu Zhu said a lot, but Li Yu didn’t listen to a word. Hu Zhu and
I both understand that as long as it is something that Li Yu believes, almost no one can change it.
So Hu Chu lied to him: “Yiyi can’t get married this year, and her mother has asked someone to make a divination for her. If she gets married this year, her life will be shortened.”
I gave a sneer in my heart. I’m afraid it’s Li Yu who
lost his life.
Li Yu listened and really quieted down.
“What is the loss of life?” He looked at me.
Hu Zhu also looked at me, his eyes full of warnings to me.
In that case, if I don’t cheat Li Yu with her, my skin will be stripped off by her tonight.
I replied with a smile, “Young master, if you insist on marrying Yiyi this year, then Yiyi won’t live long.” As
soon as he heard it, he seemed to hear something terrible. He never
mentioned marrying me again.
And then a big thing happened in Li Fu. There was a big fire in Canghai Courtyard of
Li Youcai and Hu Zhu.
I stood in the yard and looked at the thick smoke above their yard, raising my eyebrows slightly.
“Second Master’s temper has changed.” I looked at Li Yu, who was still squatting under the tree and counting ants, and smiled at Li Xudao beside him.
Li Xu turned his head to look at me and said with a smile, “Why did Yiyi say that?”
I also looked at him sideways. “If you can’t get it, you’ll destroy it all. It’s not like the Second Master’s temperament.”
This fire doesn’t look like ordinary running water. Apart from me, Li Xu was the only one in the house who
hated them so much that he wanted them to die.
His eyebrows and eyes were curved, as if I were saying something very funny.
“Yiyi.” He looked back at the thick smoke. “How do you know I can’t get it?”
Then Li Yu ran back and said, “Yiyi, I’ve finished counting. There are 89 ants.” As soon as
his words fell, water dripped down from the sky. When
I pulled Li Yu back under the eaves, the rain was like someone hiding on the clouds and pouring down.
The rain came at a good time. When
Li Xu left, he told me that he didn’t set the fire.
He won’t start a fire.
He would have made their lives a living hell. It’s too easy to burn them.
That’s exactly what I want.
I don’t want them to die too easily.
Canghai courtyard repair did not use half a month to take on a new look, Hu Zhu’s means is really good.
After Canghai Courtyard was repaired, I accompanied Li Yu to go in. All the things
inside were replaced by Hu Zhu’s favorite style.
I suddenly understood who had written the fire that had not caused any great loss. Only in this way can
Hu Zhu’s pitiful self-esteem be recovered. In the eyes of all the people in Li Fu,
I am almost inseparable from Li Yu. Even
in Liu Huaner’s eyes.
So she seldom came to Wutong Courtyard to find me on her own initiative, and she would chat a few words when she met me at home. It
‘s all about her. Listen. I was a little surprised that she would come to Wutongyuan to find me
this time.
“Sister.” She pulled me coyly to sit down at the table with a look of hesitation.
I looked at her with a smile and waited for her words.
From her already red ears, it is not difficult to guess that what she is going to say next must have something to do with Li Xu.
Li Xu never mentions her in front of me, so I don’t know what their situation is now.
“The men of the Ku family will come tomorrow.” She made such a sentence without thinking.
I raised my eyebrows to look at her and said in a faint tone, “I’m going to take you back.”
She’s been here for more than a month, and it’s time to go back. Unexpectedly,
she shook her head and her little face turned even redder.
She looked at me and twisted for a long time before she smiled.
“My parents said they wanted to ask Mr. Li about his marriage for me.”
“We’re talking about your marriage. Aren’t you going to see it?” As I covered the sun for Li Yu, who had fallen asleep, I glanced at the man sitting opposite drinking tea.
Li Xu took a slow sip of tea.
“Li You-tsai won’t agree.”
That’s true.
Gu Fu in Lincheng is not a small family, if this is to say to Li Yu, they must come down immediately.
But they are looking for Li Xu.
Li Youcai dreamed that Li Fu would fall into Li Xu’s hands, so how could he promise to let Liu Huaner marry Li Xu.
I took a look at Li Yu who was sleeping soundly. In
nine months, he will be nineteen years old.
Hu Zhu may be able to deal with Gu Fu, wait until I die for Li Yu, and then for Li Yu to say this marriage.
As we expected.
Li Youcai did not agree to the marriage.
An elder brother is like a father.
Li Youcai did not agree, so the marriage was not discussed.
Liu Huaner came to me in tears and begged me to find a reason to keep her in Ancheng for a few more days.
After all, she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, so it is not good to stay outside all the time.
If I could cry as her sister, I might have a chance.
But why should I cry.
I lowered my head, and my face was full of reluctance to her.
“Huan-er, now my identity..” When I looked up again, my eyes were all red. “It’s all because my sister is useless.”
Seeing me like this, Liu Huaner cried even harder.
She hugged me like that and cried all afternoon.
In the evening, Gu Fu’s family had dinner together at Li Fu before leaving with Liu Huaner. When she
left, she ran over and hugged me.
She said, “Sister, you must be good.”
For a moment, my heart seemed to move.
“If you have any difficulty, let someone talk to me.” Her eyes turned red before she could say a word. All ladies
are like this. I
always like to cry. Before
she was a lady.
It seems that I don’t like to cry.
She sniffed and tried to let me go, but I didn’t let go. I asked her, “Why didn’t you cry when Dad took me away?”
She was stunned.
I thought she didn’t know how to answer me.
But I heard her whisper in my ear, “Why didn’t I cry? I cried many times in bed at night, wishing it was me that my father had taken away.”
I don’t know if what she said is true or not.
But it has nothing to do with me.
Now the only thing I have to do with me is this pile of pickles in Li Fu. Half a month after
Liu Huaner left, Li Youcai left Li Fu in a hurry.
I stood under the porch and looked at his livid face, and I didn’t have to guess that Li Xu had done it.
It’s just that I know, but Hu Zhu doesn’t.
Hu Zhu kicked open my door and threw a handkerchief in my face.
“Little bitch, I knew it!” She trembled with anger.
With a well-placed smile at the corners of my mouth, I bent down and picked up the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground with two fingers.
I left it in Li Youcai’s study.
The purpose, of course, is to let Hu Zhu see.
She walked up to me and slapped me in the face.
My face really took a lot of slaps from her.
“Madam.” I called out to her. My eyes were cold. “The young master is still sleeping.”
After listening to my words, she also reacted from her anger.
But the next moment, she grabbed my hair and dragged me outside.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, a male voice came from the entrance of the courtyard.
“What are you doing, sister-in-law?”
Li Xu leaned against the gate of the courtyard and looked at us.
After all, it was not a very glorious thing. Hu Zhu let go of my hair.
“What is the Second Master doing here?” She smoothed her tangled sideburns.
Li Xu took two steps and pulled me behind him.
He gently rubbed my wrist with his hand and said with a smile, “I’m here to play with Yu-er, but what about sister-in-law?”
Hu Zhu has always had strong self-esteem, and it is impossible for her to bring the matter of Li Youcai and me to the surface.
I don’t want to talk to Li Xu.
She lowered her eyes and looked at Li Xu holding my hand all the time, showing a contemptuous smile. I know
that smile all too well.
It’s like looking at two extremely humble ants.
“Isn’t Second Master paying too much attention to Yu-erh’s new daughter-in-law?”
I looked at Li Xu’s back and suddenly felt a little sad.
Eight years ago, if he had pulled me behind him like this, how could I be like this now?
“Yes, a little bit.” Li Hsu did not let go of my hand. There was a smile in his voice. “What’s wrong?”? Is sister-in-law going to let Yu-er give Yiyi to me?
In that case, he now dares to put it on the table.
It seems that Li Youcai will be in big trouble if he goes out this time.
You.. You.. Pointing at Li Hsu’s face, Hu Chu was so angry that her fingers trembled. “You can’t!”
“Even if this little bitch were dead, she would be one of Yu’er’s men.” As soon as
her words fell, Li Yu opened the door from the room.
He stood behind the door in his snow-white undercoat.
It looks very thin.
I don’t know when he became thinner and thinner.
“Mother!”! Don’t say that about Yiyi! He became angry and his foolishness faded a little.
Hu Zhu turned around and hurried over.
“My little ancestor has told you many times to put on more clothes.” As she spoke, she took off her cloak and wrapped it around Li Yu.
I don’t blame her for making such a fuss.
Li Yu has indeed been ill a lot more times this year than before.
While Hu Zhu coaxed Li Yu, Li Xu pulled me out of Li Yu’s yard. Osmanthus fragrans is planted in
Li Xu’s yard. The sweet-scented osmanthus blooms just right in this
season, and the yard is full of the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
I sat under the osmanthus tree and laughed very happily.
Li Xu sat beside me and raised his hand to straighten my hair scratched by Hu Zhu.
I lowered my head and let his hands move.
“What are you laughing at?” He seems to be in a good mood at this time.
I tilted my head to look at him and bent my eyes. “She doesn’t know what Li You-tsai has been doing, and now she’s still in the mood to find fault with me.” “
Do you know what Li You-tsai has been doing?”
How should I know? He left in such a hurry.
But just because he left in such a hurry, I knew that Li Xu must have done it.
I raised my hand around his neck, and my eyebrows were curved.
“Second Master.” I brushed his temples with my fingers and breathed in his ear, “I have a request.”
Li Xu grabbed my hand, and something moved under his eyes. “Hmm?”
I looked at him, smiled and lowered my eyes, and when I looked up again, they were as cold as ice.
“Let me do it first, okay?”
I’ve been preparing for so long that I can’t let them die at the hands of Li Xu without doing anything.
That’s a pity.
I want to see them go crazy so much.
Li Xu let go of my hand and lifted my hair that had fallen down again behind my ear.
“I can do it for you.” He looked at me and said, “I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
Definitely not.
I want to drive them crazy with my own hands.
“Second Master looks like he really has feelings for Yiyi.” Smiling, I leaned close to him, facing him only a few inches away. “Why don’t you do me one more favor?” The tips of
Li Xu’s ears are peachy.
But he still pretended to be calm and asked me, “What are you doing?”
I gave him a gentle peck on the lips and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Help me have a baby.
“Yiyi wants to have sex with the Second Master for a while.” I exhale gently, and the words are ambiguous.
Li Xu ran away in a huff.
Looking at the back of his escape, I chuckled.
If he had taken me with him, maybe we would have had a child now.
Well, maybe there’s more than one.
Laugh and laugh, there are tears falling down together when the rain falls.
From the moment I decided to jump off the cliff, there was no turning back in my life.
Hu Zhu didn’t let me go because Li Xu spoke for me.
For Li Yu, she will not kill me, nor will she throw me out.
So she put me in the woodshed.
She grabbed my hair and showed a resentful face that she had never shown in front of anyone.
“Only eight months. I only need to hang you for eight months. Then I’ll skin you and throw you to Mount Anshan to feed the wolves.”
I was locked up in the woodshed, Hu Zhu said to hang my life, as long as not dead on the line.
So every day someone comes to bring me a meal. One meal
a day.
Li Yu looked at me pitifully outside the window.
“Yiyi, are you hungry?” Mysteriously, he took out something wrapped in oiled paper from his sleeve and stuffed it in through the window. “Yiyi, don’t be afraid. I’ll let you out.”
Every time I was punished, he was the first one to feel sorry for me. It
doesn’t work, though.
I took what was in his hand. Before I opened it, I smelled the fragrance. I asked him, “Where did it come from?”
Li Yu blinked his eyes and laughed twice.
“I hid my lunch when Mammy wasn’t looking.”
I looked up at his greasy cuff and frowned slightly. “Didn’t you eat well, young master?”
Hearing what I said, he shook his hand.
Like a child who has been wronged.
“I ate it. I ate it. I left it for you secretly.”
I looked at the oil-paper bag in my hand and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Li Yu said he would accompany me outside, but not long after that, Mammy came and pulled him away.
I think Hu Zhu should have thought about how to exchange my life for Li Yu’s life, and now I’m sure I won’t let Li Yu get entangled with me again.
And even if Li Youcai comes back, he may not fall out with Hu Zhu for me.
“I’ll take you with me.” Li Xu fell in front of me from the roof and held out a hand to me. He has learned a lot
in the past few years, and even his kung fu is so good. I wish I had said
that eight years ago.
I put my hand on his hand, grabbed his hand and pulled it hard.
He didn’t expect me to do this, so he stumbled and fell on me.
“I’m not leaving.” I looked up at him and smiled. “I want to be here and watch this huge Li Mansion fall apart.”
I want to see Li Youcai and Hu Zhu go crazy.
I want all those who have insulted me to die a terrible death.
Li Xu put one hand on the wall behind me and raised my chin with the other. “I told you I could help you,” he said with a
faint smile in his eyes.
What’s the point?
Then what is the meaning of everything I have suffered for so many years!
I held his collar tightly in my hands and laughed.
Perhaps my eyes were already red at this time, and there was a bit of evil in my laughter.
“Yes.” I passed my hand over his nose and lips and breathed in his ear. “Then help me, Master.”
Li Youcai is not a person who simply covets beauty. I can climb into his bed.
I have my own ability.
Li Xu is different from Li Youcai, but he feels guilty about me.
Soon he gave up the struggle and became one with me.
The moonlight came in through the narrow window, and I saw a thin layer of sweat on his temples, and my heart moved slightly.
“Li Xu.” I held him with my fingers almost embedded in his flesh.
He snorted.
“Sorry.” The voice is soft.
Originally, he could get rid of Li Youcai cleanly, and then be the person in charge of Li Fu cleanly.
And now I’m pulling you into this mire.
Think of it as what he owed me eight years ago.
Li Xu put his hand on the top of my hair, and he seemed to sigh helplessly.
“Yiyi, when this is over, I will marry you.”
I lay on his shoulder and was stunned when I heard this sentence.
“Second Master, you’d better marry Miss Ku.” At least it’s cleaner than me.
“Yiyi..” He pulled me out of his arms and looked at me very seriously. “Why do you think there is no woman around me?”
But what does it have to do with me?
I pulled up a bitter smile and said, “Li Youcai and I..” Before he
had finished speaking, Li Xu’s kiss fell down.
“I’m sorry, Yiyi, I’m sorry..”
His little words fell down with his kiss and fell into my heart.
There are bursts of bitterness.
I lay on Li Xu’s robe and watched him gently break off a few withered branches.
A few branches made a small pile in front of me.
Li Xu took out a fire from his sleeve.
This scene coincided with that of eight years ago, and it was no longer as cautious and fearful as it had been eight years ago. I smiled and asked him, “Aren’t you afraid that people will find you here?”
He blew lightly and the fire flared up.
“If you find out, I’ll take you away.” He laughed on the opposite side of the fire, which was more dazzling than flame in his hand.
He folded the fire close to the branch, and soon there was a fragmentary “crackling” sound. It was the same way
eight years ago.
He lit a few branches in front of me to keep me warm. The moment the
flame was lit, it lit up the whole woodshed and seemed to light up my dark and hopeless life.
But as soon as he lit it, he put it out with his own hands.
Let me fall deeper into hell.
“Li Xu.” I looked at the fire in front of me as if I were looking at us eight years ago. “Why did you change your mind that day?”
It was agreed. You were supposed
to take me with you.
I thought I had developed an invincible heart of stone.
But when Li Xu came back, I knew that I had been upset for so many years.
The flames kept spreading upward, and the red light was imprinted on Li Xu’s face.
I saw something torn under his eyes.
“I can’t protect you.” He raised his eyes to look at me, and his voice was full of helplessness. “Yiyi, I can’t even protect myself.”
This reason seems not convincing at all.
I put my hands on the ground and crawled half a step toward him. I leaned close to him and asked him with some reluctance, “Why didn’t you come back after four years?”
Obviously he has broken his promise once, but I still hope that he can come back to pick me up in four years.
In return, he broke his promise for the second time.
He raised his hand to hold my broken hair behind my ears and sighed, “Yiyi, I can’t come back.”
I don’t believe it.
I stepped back. We didn’t speak again
for a while.
Watching those branches crackle and burn out bit by bit, it’s like watching my life run out bit by bit.
“I came to see you.” I looked up at Li Xu and began to talk about that memory. “That day I tricked the young master into taking me out, and I took the opportunity to run away.” Li Xu,
who had lowered his head, looked up at me when I said so.
“It was soon discovered by Hu Chu.” I bowed my head and laughed. “The men she sent chased me for two days to a mountain outside the city.” I blushed slightly at the end of my
eyes and looked at him laughing even more.
“I knelt on the ground and begged them again and again, begging them to spare me.” Soon there was a mist in my eyes, and I still raised my mouth. “Guess what happened?”
“Yiyi..” Li Xu’s voice was hoarse and seemed to be extremely uncomfortable.
You see, he knew what was going to happen. Smiling,
I said, “My clothes were torn up and left in the mountains.”
“Behind me is a cliff.” I gently lifted my skirt and looked at the deep and shallow scars on my legs. “I didn’t die on such a high cliff.”
That was the last time I ran away.
After that, I never wanted to die.
Li Xu’s hands were clenched tightly in a circle, and his eyes were red.
“Who is..” His voice trembled a little. I
raised my hand and stroked the hair on my temples. “They’re all dead,” I answered with a smile.
Li Youcai has killed those people for me.
When I finally finished telling the story I wanted to tell, I sat up straight and picked up Li Xu’s robe under me and brushed the dust off it.
I held the clothes in both hands and handed them to Li Xu.
“Thank you, Second Master, for your help.” In the
following days, Li Yu came to give me food in the daytime, and Li Xu came to live with me at night. So the
days passed day by day.
Until Li Yu did not come to deliver food for two days. “Is the young master in the house?”
I asked the servant girl who passed by.
As long as he is in the house, he will come to me secretly.
The servant girl gave me a white look.
“The young master is ill.”
Without waiting for my next question, she left without looking back.
Li Yu has been suffering from minor illnesses in the past two years, and his health is getting worse day by day.
No wonder there was something wrong with his face when he came over two days ago. He should be holding on.
“How is the young master’s illness?” As soon as Li Xu landed at night, I asked him.
Perhaps it was the imperceptible nervousness in my words that made Li Xu slightly stunned.
Then he frowned slightly: “It’s a little serious. It’s because of the cold. Plus I haven’t been eating or sleeping well lately.”
The next day, Hu Zhu brought someone to unlock the lock of the woodshed.
She stood outside the door and glanced at the burning wood at my feet with disdain in her eyes.
“After washing up, I went to wait on Yu’er.” Her cold tone only warmed up when she said the word “feather”.
I don’t have to think about it to know that Li Yu must not take the medicine again.
“I advise you not to play any more tricks.” Hu Zhu looked at me with frosty eyes, if the eyes can kill people, I must have died ten thousand times.
I came to Li Yu’s bed after washing. I didn’t notice him
before, but now he’s lying in bed, and I realize that he seems to have lost a lot of weight.
He was covered with a quilt, but the bulge of the quilt was very small.
“Young Master.” I gently pulled his quilt and called him in a low voice.
He poked his head out of the quilt and looked very bad, but he still grinned at me.
“You go out.” He looked at a Mammy beside the bed.
Mammy knew his temperament and went out without saying anything.
I picked up the medicine hanging on the low stool beside the bed and stirred it twice in the bowl with a spoon. “Yiyi, I told you I would get you out,” said
Li Yu with a childlike smirk.
I held the spoon in my hand.
“How did the young master get sick?”
“At night, when Mammy goes out, I open the quilt. In the morning, when Mammy comes in, she thinks I’ve kicked the quilt open.” Li Yu’s words are quite proud of his cleverness.
I lowered my eyes and looked at the medicine in the bowl.
This medicine is different from the common medicine for wind-cold. It is so black that it is very bitter at first sight.
I didn’t speak and gave Li Yu a mouthful of medicine.
Sure enough, he took a sip and his whole face was wrinkled.
“Don’t ever do that again, young master.” I took a candied fruit from the side of the jar and fed it to Li Yu’s mouth.
He ate the candied fruit before his wrinkled face opened.
“Yiyi.” He finished eating the candied fruit and looked at me seriously. “You see, you can eat a candied fruit with a mouthful of bitter medicine.”
“When it’s bitter, it’s sweet.” He suddenly laughed stupidly. “So Yiyi, don’t blame yourself.”
I don’t blame myself.
It’s just that he’s wrong.
Bitter is not necessarily sweet.
As I guess, Li Yu is not a simple cold.
I poured medicine around him for a few days, but he didn’t get better.
His illness even alarmed Li Youcai, who had been out of the house for a long time.
“Send for the best doctor.” As soon as Li Youcai returned to the mansion, he ordered his servants to call the doctor.
Hu Zhu also seemed to have a backbone, sobbing and crying beside him.
“I’ve already asked for it, and I’ve changed the prescription several times, but it doesn’t work.”
Li Youcai sighed.
“Then go to Anshan Temple and ask Master Huiyuan to have a look.” It was originally a day’s journey
from Li Fu to Anshan Temple.
This time I only walked for half a day.
Master Huiyuan, as I heard from the servant girl in your house, is a very famous monk who has attained the Tao. It was because of him
that Anshan Temple kept burning incense.
It’s just that the master never leaves the temple.
This is the first time I went to Anshan Temple, and I met the world-famous monk. As soon as
I helped Li Yu through the door, the eminent monk looked up at me and then said, “Amitabha.”
At that moment, I felt as if he had seen through my life.
Hu Chu knelt down in front of Master Hui yuan. She clasped her hands together and said piously, “Master, please save my feather.”
Then Master Huiyuan took another look at Li Yu beside me.
“This benefactor has run out of oil.” His voice was pure and reassuring, but what he said was so desperate.
Hu Zhu’s body trembled.
She believed in the master so much that she didn’t even question what he said.
She bent down and crawled on the ground.
“Master, please!” There was a cry of despair in her words! As long as you can save my feather, I can give you whatever you want.
She was lying there, shaking all over.
Master Huiyuan sighed. He bent over and picked up Hu Chu. “Almsgiver Hu, everything has a destiny.”
I gave a sneer.
The sound was particularly annoying in the quiet room.
Master Huiyuan looked at me as if there were a lot of things in his godly eyes, and as if there was nothing in them.
“Almsgiver, what are you laughing at?”
I held Li Yu’s hand very tightly, so tight that I was afraid that he would fall down and disappear.
“I don’t believe in fate.” I turned to Li Yu and said, “Young master, don’t listen to this monk.”
Li Yu nodded his head. His
pale lips moved and he asked me, “Yiyi, what does he mean?”
I forgot. He doesn’t understand this.
“He said the young master would live a long life.” I laughed.
No matter how Hu Zhu asked, Master Huiyuan said that Li Yu had no way to save the day.
Finally Hu Zhu did not beg, she climbed up from the ground, the look in her eyes was terrible.
“Almsgiver Hu, think twice.” Master Huiyuan seemed to know at a glance what she was thinking. “If you go against heaven, you will be punished by heaven.” “I’m not afraid,” said
Hu Chu with a sad smile.
Before leaving, Master Huiyuan looked at my stomach and said, “This child has come at a bad time.”
Hu Zhu and I were stunned.
The next moment I realized what he was talking about.
I am pregnant with Li Xu’s child.
How could it not be the right time? This is the child
I want. On the way
back, Li Yu held my hand and refused to let go.
“Yiyi.” His voice was very soft because of his illness.
I looked at him sideways.
He grinned a pale, childish smile.
“Do you like uncle?”
Yes.
But now I am not qualified to say whether I like it or not.
“If only Yiyi were my uncle’s child bride..” As he spoke, he fell asleep.
As soon as I returned to the mansion, Hu Zhu wanted to arrest me.
Li Yu said he would not let go of anything.
It was not until the next day that Li Youcai came to Li Yu’s yard.
He stood in the yard, staring at my stomach, and asked me, “When did this happen?”
I was stunned when I realized that he was asking about my pregnancy.
But I haven’t had time to spread the news yet. How did
he know?
“I don’t know. It must have been a month ago.”
It should be my first night with Li Xu.
Li Xu is really doing his best.
Hu Zhu really wants to exchange me for Li Yu’s life.
But Li Youcai disagreed.
I stood beside Li Youcai and watched him slap Hu Zhu to the ground.
“The world is so big that you can’t find anyone with the same horoscope?” He looked coldly at Hu Zhu on the ground without a trace of affection.
Hu Zhu never thought that Li Youcai would treat her like this one day, lying on the ground for a moment without reacting.
She didn’t know how much Li Youcai wanted a healthy child.
But has been afraid of Hu Zhu’s family background, never dare to have a woman outside.
“My Lord!” Hu Zhu looked at him in disbelief, as if she had never known him before. “Yu’er is our child. Do you want to watch him, watch him..”
In the end, he broke down in tears.
Then she looked at me sideways, like a poisoned sword hidden in her eyes.
You bitch! It’s all you, bitch! Then he rushed at me and was kicked away by Li Youcai.
Li Youcai stood in front of me and said in a faint voice, “Now that Yiyi is pregnant with my flesh and blood, you can’t touch a hair of her in the future.”
Hu Zhu’s eyes widened. Only
then did she seem to remember the words of Master Huiyuan.
This means that she didn’t tell Li Youcai about my pregnancy.
“Impossible!” She hugged Li Youcai’s leg and said, “Sir, it’s impossible!”! Don’t trust her! It’s impossible! She looked as if she had
heard the most impossible thing in the world. Of
course, it is the most unlikely thing.
Hu Zhu drugged Li Youcai a long time ago.
Li Youcai will never have another child of his own in his life.
But so what, does she dare to say it?
She dares to tell Li Youcai that he has not had a healthy child of his own for so many years, is it because of her? In order to protect me from Hu Zhu,
Li Youcai ordered Hu Zhu to be locked up.
But Li Yu was his son after all, and he began to look all over the world for people with the same birthday as me. He had agreed from the beginning to trade his life for his
life.
If I wasn’t pregnant.
Then he will not hesitate to exchange my life for Li Yu’s life.
That’s ridiculous. After
Li Yu fell asleep, Li Xu came into the room.
He stared at my stomach and asked me, “Is that what you’re asking me for?”
From what he said, it seems that he just knew that I was pregnant soon.
I looked up at the door, but no one was there.
“Second Master, think twice before you speak.” I put my hand on my stomach and chuckled, “This is the master’s own flesh and blood.”
He was stunned when he heard it.
“Yiyi.” He took a step closer and his eyes darkened. “Now I can’t see through you at all.”
Nature can’t see through it.
I am already out of shape.
“Second Master is also looking for someone whose birthday is the same as mine?” That’s what I heard by accident.
From his squire.
I knew that if his attendants could speak to me, he would understand.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, not surprised at my question. “Do you want me to find it, or don’t you?”
Found, Li Yu will have a chance of survival. If you can’t
find it, Hu Zhu can go crazy from now on.
I sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Li Yu, who was already very thin.
Think of his “Yiyi” one after another.
“Look for it.” I looked back at Li Xu. “I’m sure you’ll find it.”
Li Yu now has less and less time to wake up. He
often gets tired of talking to me in less than two sentences. When the
Hu family came, I stayed with Li Yu.
This time Li Yu’s spirit seems to be much better than usual, and he can get out of bed and walk around. He
said he wanted to meet Hu Zhu.
Originally the people of the Hu family also arrived, Li Youcai also dare not lock up Hu Zhu again.
Hearing what Li Yu said, there was a step.
Li Youcai took Hu Zhu into Li Yu’s room. Li Xu and
I and a group of servants waiting outside the door, I do not know what Li Yu said to them.
At last they came out of the room with red eyes.
“Yiyi.” Li Yu stood in the doorway and smiled at me. The
sun fell on his pale face, making him look like a white jade porcelain that might break at any time.
He waved to me.
“You come.”
When Li Yu closed the door with a smile, I understood what Master Huiyuan meant when he said that the oil had run out.
As if he had no bones, he slid down the door to the ground.
It seems that the good spirit of the day is all he pretends.
“Young Master.” I quickly helped him to the bed.
He leaned back on the bed and laughed as I tucked him in.
The voice is soft.
There is no vitality.
He took my hand and blinked, “Yiyi, can you talk with me?”
I sat down on the edge of the bed, and even my voice softened unconsciously: “If the young master is not feeling well, it’s not too late to say tomorrow.”
“Say it today.” I know
his temper, and I will keep my word.
“Well, what does the young master want to say to me?”
Li Yu’s finger bit by bit on my finger, he looked down at my hand, as if there were thousands of words to say to me.
“Yiyi, when you were playing chess with your uncle that day, I was thinking that if only you were his child bride, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.” “But then I thought, if you were my uncle’s child bride, you wouldn’t be able to stay with me all the time, and I felt lucky that you were staying with me.”
He looked up at me with red eyes and said, “Yiyi, am I bad?”
I shook my head.
“I went to my uncle to ask for medicine, and he said he liked you.” He blinked and looked like he was about to cry. “I gave him my slingshot in fear.”
“Give him the slingshot, and he won’t rob you from me.”
His eyes were getting redder and redder, and he was holding my hand with great force. “Yiyi, I wanted to marry you, from a long, long time ago.”. But you always say I’m still young.
I suddenly feel very uncomfortable.
A heart seems to be held by someone.
“That day I hid behind the rockery, waiting for you to come to me, and I heard them say that I could only live if you died.” As he spoke, his tears fell on my hands, burning hot. “Yiyi, I want to live.”
“In order to stay alive, I drank all the bitter medicine.”
“But it’s because of you that I want to live well.” He looked up at me with a silly smile. “I always wanted to grow up quickly so that I could marry you when I grew up.”. Live well, and live to protect you.
Unconsciously, his face was covered with tears.
My throat feels like a mouthful of sand. It’s very
dry and uncomfortable.
He didn’t seem to have much strength to hold my hand.
Even the voice began to fade.
“Young Master..” I called to him hoarsely and coaxed him softly, “Shall we have a rest?”
He curved his eyes and suddenly frowned again.
There was blood coming from the corner of his mouth. Startled,
I took out my handkerchief from my bosom to wipe it off for him.
But before I could wipe it, the blood dripped on his hand.
“Yiyi.” He looked at the blood and then looked up at me. “It’s bleeding.”
Like a hurt kid begging for candy.
“That night, I was afraid you would be cold, so I secretly brought my clothes to the woodshed to give them to you.” He bowed his head, lowered his eyes, and continued, aimlessly, “I saw your uncle sitting beside you, and he made a fire for you.”
“That fire is so big.”
“It makes your eyes shine like the stars in the sky.”
“Just like the first time you saw me.”
I looked at him and felt that he was not stupid at all. He was bleeding
as he spoke.
Why is it bleeding!
How can it be bleeding!
“Young master, I’m going to fetch the doctor. Wait a minute.” In a panic,
I wiped the blood from the corners of Li Yu’s mouth and was about to stand up, but he grabbed my hand. Suddenly there was a noise
outside the door.
“Sir, I’ve been living for Yu all my life. No one can stop me.” I heard Hu Zhu’s voice crying outside the door.
I think all the people of the Hu family are here.
“Yiyi.” Li Yu took my hand, like every time in the past.
He raised the bloody corners of his mouth and looked at me very seriously. “I will protect you.”
Looking at his face gradually losing its color, my heart was in a panic.
“All right, that young master must get better soon.” My voice is a little trembling.
This is the first time I’ve done this in years.
He let go of my hand and raised it to cover my stomach.
“He must be as good-looking as my uncle.” He smiled expectantly like a child.
By this time I had no energy to think about why he had said such a thing, and I only answered at random, “I’ll know when the young master sees it.”
He blinked slowly.
By this time the blood at the corners of his mouth had stopped flowing.
He raised his hand and gently cupped my face, the corners of his eyes still shining.
He said, “Yiyi, I like you very much.”
My nose is sore at once.
I suddenly had a bad feeling. Are
you.. What did you eat secretly? I stared at him with a trill in my voice. Then
I turned around and wanted to see the poison I had hidden in the cabinet.
That’s what I hid a long time ago to use as poison whiskers.
Li Yu pulled me, and this time his strength was not as strong as mine.
When I pulled him, he fell on me.
His head was on my shoulder, and his breath was so light that I couldn’t feel it.
“Yiyi.” His voice was as soft as if he were whispering in his ear.
His hand slowly let go of mine.
“I like you so much.”
My heart trembled.
“I forbid you to die!” I growled, “Li Yu, did you hear that?”! I forbid you to die!
There are tears falling from my eyes.
He seemed to laugh and sigh.
“In my next life, I won’t be a fool..”
Li Yu is dead.
He died in my arms. When the
Hu family broke down the door, I sat on the edge of the bed with Li Yu in my arms.
“Yiyi, when will I grow up?”
“Yiyi, what is a child bride?”
“Yiyi, I will protect you.”
…… If
he dies, there is no need for me to die.
That’s what he said about protecting me.
***ing protection!
I stared at Hu Zhu kneeling on the ground, only to feel that she was now thousands of times more hateful than she used to be.
“Don’t you dare touch him!” I held Li Yu in my arms and roared at Hu Zhu who had crawled over.
If it wasn’t for her.
If it wasn’t for her..
If it wasn’t for me..
I watched Li Yu for three days, and it was Li Xu who knocked me unconscious and carried me out.
I slept for seven days.
When I woke up, Li Yu had been buried.
I gripped Li Xu’s skirt and asked him sharply, “Why didn’t you save him?”
I knew he couldn’t save Li Yu, but I was still like a madman. Without saying a word,
he hugged me gently and patted my back slowly.
I finally couldn’t help crying out.
Li Yu was stupid for eighteen years, and the only time he was smart was on me.
But he doesn’t know. How miserable
I am.
He’ll never know.
As I wish, Hu Zhu is crazy.
I’m not happy at all.
It doesn’t give me the slightest pleasure of revenge.
As Master Huiyuan said, the baby in my belly came at a bad time. When
I woke up from a coma, I found the baby was gone.
Li Yu is gone. And the
baby is gone.
Hu Zhu is crazy. There
is only one Li Youcai left.
When I heard that Li Xu carried me back to his yard in front of him that day, his face was blue.
In the past, I would like to see him like that.
Now there’s nothing to look forward to.
I stayed in Li Xu’s Qingshan courtyard and never went out again.
Li Xu was so busy that he could hardly see each other in the daytime.
I can only hear from Li Xu’s servant what he did to Li Youcai yesterday, and how he is going to collect the shops in Ancheng today.
From late autumn to midwinter.
It snowed heavily that day.
Li Youcai stood outside the Qingshan Courtyard. He had lost a lot of weight in a few months.
In the past, he always looked clean and self-restrained, not as dirty as he is now.
Snow fell all over him. His
face was full of fatigue. He looked at me and laughed at himself. “You are really a demon.”
I sat under the eaves and tried to laugh, but I couldn’t.
“Thank you for your praise.”
He didn’t seem to give up and asked me, “Whose child is that?”
I looked up at him with a trace of pity in my eyes.
Without waiting for me to say anything, he seemed to understand everything.
He looked up and laughed, and the laughter was a little annoying.
“It’s time to trade you for Yu’er’s life.” He smiled and turned away.
“It’s time to trade you for Yu’er’s life.”
He said as he walked.
After a while, Li Xu came back.
He came back early, so he must have taken care of everything.
Seeing me sitting under the eaves, he took off his cloak and covered me completely.
“What’s the matter?” His fingertips passed over my face. Wet on
the fingertips.
I looked at him, and my heart was desolate for no reason.
“Do you think the young master will be cold in the ground?” He has never been more afraid of the cold.
Li Xu crouched in front of me and gently encircled me in his arms.
“Shall we go and see him?” When
we came back from Li Yu’s grave, we saw Li Fu burning in the distance.
Li Youcai lit a fire in Canghai Courtyard. Hu Zhu, who
had been staying in Wutong Courtyard, also stood with him in Canghai Courtyard.
It was snowing, but the fire burned all day.
The whole Canghai courtyard was burned clean. When
I returned to Wutong Courtyard, everything about Li Yu was gone.
I think they all disappeared in this world with the fire.
But in just a few months, three people died in Li Fu.
The outside world began to say whether there was something ominous in Li Fu.
Even the people in the Li Mansion were in a panic.
Li Xu said that Li Fu was really not good, and he wanted to take me out.
“Why did you go back on your word?” I sat on the soft bed and looked at him steadily.
This is not the first time I have asked this question.
But it’s like a knot. Buried
in my heart for many years.
Li Xu sat beside me and let me lean on him.
“The day before I left, I found out how my mother died.” He put his hand on mine, as if remembering something unspeakable. “I want revenge, but I have nothing.”
I closed my eyes and said, “So you are afraid that I will drag you down.”
He may or may not have shaken his head.
He sighed softly, “He didn’t really want me to take care of the business in the north when he drove me away.”. Along the way, I met everything I should have met and shouldn’t have met.
“What do you think I was thinking when the bandit put a knife to my neck?” He laughed. “I’m very relieved to think that it’s a good thing you stayed in the Li Mansion. You’ll live well in the Li Mansion.”
It’s not fine.
It’s just that life is worse than death.
He talked to me about his eight years outside.
That’s an understatement. But
I can imagine how hard it was for him to walk all the way to this scene.
It turns out that no one has a good life. On the day when
Li Xu moved, the sunshine was particularly good.
Just like the day I was brought into Li’s house.
I sat on the stone bench in the courtyard of Wutong and looked around the familiar courtyard.
It was such a good day that Li Yu ran to me.
“What’s your name?”
He grinned like a child.
I took his hand and told him, “My name is Liu Yiyi, and I am your child bride.”
“Yiyi, what is a child bride?”
“I will marry you when I grow up.”
He seemed to understand and pulled me to run into the house with a smile. As soon as I looked back, I saw Li Xu standing at the gate of the yard.
At that time, I really thought I would live a peaceful and happy life.
I am holding the slingshot that Li Yu used to change the dressing with Li Xu, and now only this slingshot is left. When
Li Xu found me, I had no strength on the table.
“Liu Yiyi.” He was red-eyed and gnashing his teeth as he tried to wipe the blood from the corners of my mouth.
I pulled the corners of my mouth with difficulty and smiled at him.
He seemed to know that there was no way out and did not go to the doctor.
“Why are you so cruel to me?” He held me in his arms and pressed his face against mine.
His face is so warm.
It’s like the fire he raised for me.
I seemed to see the peach tree behind him was full of peach blossoms, and the petals were falling.
“Li Xu.” I called him, “Liu Huaner likes you.”
“Actually, she’s fine.”
Drops of water fell on my forehead.
It’s not raining. “Not as good as you,” said
Li Xu in a dumb voice.
As if hearing a funny thing, I chuckled. The people of the
Li family are not very good at looking at people. What’s good about
me.
Li Xu hugged me and said a lot, but I was more and more sleepy.
Later, it was hard to open a pair of eyes.
The slingshot in my hand slipped from my hand to the ground with a dull sound.
“We’re even, Li Xu.” My words are scattered in the air like smoke.
I don’t blame you for not taking me away.
This time, I won’t take you either.
(End)
