Chapter 55 No Mouth
Wei Qingyan looked at Yu Liangzhi, "Gong Changying and Old Madam Gong both have ties to their hearts due to their childhood experiences.
One has a habit that is not accepted by the world and is unwilling to marry and bring trouble to other women. The other is afraid of men and dares not marry, but has to get married.
Is it true that these two people coming together can be considered as each other's salvation?"
"Okay." Yu Liangzhi nodded.
This is what my father said about the two of them when he was alive.
Wei Qingyan looked at Wei Shiran again, "When a woman who is afraid of men meets a man who likes to pretend to be a woman, her guard will first be relaxed.
If this man is honest, kind, treats her well, and respects her in everything, is it possible for her to open up her heart and fall in love with him after spending time with him day and night?
Wei Shiran thought about it and nodded, "Humans are not plants or trees, who can be heartless? It's very possible."
"Yes, so, when Lord Gong was twelve years old, they had the second Lord Gong. Did someone drug them this time?" Wei Qingyan turned his gaze to Yu Liangzhi again.
"No, three months after I became pregnant with Minglou, I went back to my parents' home to tell them the good news."
Yu Liangzhi recalled, "That day, she was very happy and took the initiative to talk to me. My second brother and I were relieved.
In the days that followed, seeing that she and Changying were becoming more and more like a real couple, we assumed they were truly together and never asked about it again."
His parents had passed away, and his younger sister was not close to her sisters-in-law. As her brother, he did not want to ask too much about what was going on in her sister's room.
"Based on Madam Gong's different attitudes towards her two pregnancies, can we conclude that she has fallen in love with Gong Changying?"
She glanced at everyone one by one.
Yu Liangzhi nodded first, followed by Wei Shiran, Qin, and the Gong brothers.
"Based on your understanding of your father, would marrying your mother as a bargaining chip violate his pre-marital promise and overstep the boundaries?"
Wei Qingyan was asking about Gong Mingcheng.
Gong Mingcheng seemed to understand Wei Qingyan's thoughts and shook his head, "Father values his promises the most. He won't do that."
"Yes, he wouldn't. So, after your grandmother drugged him and slept with him, he went to the Yu Mansion to seek a divorce because he felt he was no longer worthy of continuing this transaction. Am I right?"
Gong Mingcheng nodded repeatedly.
Yes, that's what my father is like.
"But he is also a normal man. He just likes to wear women's clothes because of Aunt Hua. It doesn't mean that he is really a woman.
He also had a good heart, otherwise why would he remember Aunt Hua for the rest of her life just because she saved his life? Not only did his wife not look down on him, she also cooperated with him in covering up everything.
Such goodness is rare in the world.
As time goes by, and they have had physical intimacy, will he also fall in love with his wife?
But because of Madam Gong's knot in her heart, she dared not express it? Madam Gong is also a person who keeps everything to herself."
“You mean that although my parents’ marriage was a transaction, they fell in love with each other after being together for a long time, but they didn’t know each other.
Is the father concerned about the mother's feelings and afraid to express them, and the mother, because of her low self-esteem, dares not ask for anything, so she is waiting for the father to take the initiative? "
Gong Minglou was still a little puzzled. "If my mother had feelings for my father, shouldn't she have obeyed his wishes?"
"You don't want to take a concubine for the Second Master, but you have to do so for the sake of the inheritance of the family line. So you want to wait for the Second Master to tell you that he only wants you in this life and that it doesn't matter if he has no sons.
You need him to give you the confidence to resist the world's gaze, but you haven't heard this from the Second Master yet. What will you do?"
Wei Qingyan did not return to Gong Minglou, but looked at Qin instead.
Qin didn't expect that she would be asked this in front of everyone. Her face turned red immediately and she tried to calm down and think about this question.
"I will feel sad, disappointed, angry, and complain."
Wei Qingyan looked at her deeply.
Gong Minglou's face turned pale. He stood up from his chair suddenly, met Wei Qingyan's cold eyes, and sat back in his chair awkwardly.
Resolving the grudge is more important, and his affairs can be dealt with later.
But his eyes looked uncontrollably at Qin.
He was heartbroken when his only son died, but he never thought of marrying another woman to bear him a son.
His Gong family has harmonious relationships. His eldest brother has two sons. If he acts like a spoiled child in the future, it is not impossible for his two nephews or even nephews to take care of them in their later years.
But before he had the chance to tell her this, she started arranging to take a concubine for him without even notifying him.
He was furious that she didn't care about their relationship at all. When he saw her personally sending the person into his room, he accepted it out of spite.
But I didn't really want to touch that person.
He had intended to ignore her for a few days and then explain the matter to her after she had calmed down, but she avoided him, and even when they saw him, she looked at him as if he were dirty.
It was obvious that she was the one who gave up their relationship first. He was too angry to say anything more, but he never touched that concubine. Who would have thought that a year later, she would force two more of them into his life.
She had completely forgotten him. The vows of love and sweet talk they had made were just his own obsession. He had taken in those concubines...
But it turned out that she was unwilling to do so either, and she was waiting for his attitude.
Wei Qingyan's voice rang out again, "In the old lady's opinion, Gong Changying likes to dress like a woman, and he has his reasons for insisting on doing so. For this reason, he even refuses to marry.
Would the self-deprecating old lady worry that once she expresses her feelings, her husband would think she is a burden and terminate the deal?
She didn't dare to take the risk, and even made a comparison in her mind. She was not as important to Gong Changying as his habit.
But she also hoped that he would have her in his heart, or even take the initiative to discover her feelings, so she said those words to the Second Madam.
Because she longed for it, but did not get it."
Qin's face also turned pale. What she had was pushed away by her own hands.
Wei Qingyan sighed softly. The reason why people have mouths is to communicate.
"Assuming that the old lady had fallen in love with Gong Changying when she was pregnant with the Second Master, then she waited for a full twenty-five years until Gong Changying passed away.
Twenty-five years, what a long time it was. Not only did her expectations not come true, but her lover was also separated from her.
She has been timid and self-deprecating all her life. Will she be able to develop a sense of courage after the old man passes away? If she didn't get it in this life, will she pray that he can be her true husband in the next life?
"Mother didn't want father to be a woman, so she changed his burial clothes." Qin said in a daze.
Then she remembered something and looked at Gong Minglou excitedly, "Second Master, do you remember when Mother was buried, I told you that her and Father's burial clothes were made of the same cloth, one for his and one for her?"
Gong Minglou nodded.
He remembered that there was envy in her eyes for her parents' love, so he secretly thought in his heart that if she agreed in the future, they would also wear shrouds made of the same piece of cloth.
"Yes, I remember that too." Wei Shiran agreed, "And both my father and mother said that we would be buried together in the future."
Wei Qingyan had learned about the joint burial before he came.
She continued, "According to our previous inference, Gong Changying bought the Persian fabric to make her own burial clothes, so why two sets?"
