Yu Tingwan still did not interrupt Gu Fuju while he was talking about these things. Her eyes inadvertently fell on the screen in the distance, where there seemed to be floating light and shadow.
Her eyes were as calm as water, even if there was a little bit of color in them, it soon returned to silence.
She did not respond to Gu Fuju's words. She
just turned her head to look at the towering tree outside the window, where there were flocks of birds playing on the branches.
"I brought back a woman from Ze County. I don't know her identity. I hope the master can help me solve my doubts."
As soon as she started to speak, Gu Fuju responded.
"She is the one who serves in your mother's yard. Her name is Bishui."
"She was originally sold to a brothel by her family, but she refused and intended to commit suicide on the way. It happened that your mother when she was young saw her and felt sorry for her. Your grandfather saw that she was about the same age as your mother, and the He family didn't need a few servants, so he simply bought her into the mansion.
"But she is not a child born in the family. There are many rules for wealthy families. She has to be trained before she can serve in your mother's yard. "
The maids who serve the masters of the officials' houses in the capital are all literate.
What kind of places are brothels?
They are dens of evil where people sell their bodies and indulge in decadence.
Bishui was disheartened at the time, and Jiashan saved her life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is her second parent. She has been serving him wholeheartedly.
"The master and servant have a very close relationship. At that time, your mother gave birth prematurely. In addition to being frightened by the riots of the disaster victims, Bishui helped her to take refuge. However, she tripped your mother in a hurry and hit her stomach."
Bishui was horrified, especially when she saw the girl began to cry out in pain and bleeding from her body.
She deserved to die.
Fortunately, the young master was born.
The girl is fine.
"But she was deceived by sweet words and had a shameful affair with the secret guard."
Gu Fuju: "She is loyal to your mother, so it is impossible for her to betray her master. In the chaos, she handed you to the secret guard to protect you."
"When you were lost by the secret guard, she noticed something unusual. I was panicked, regretful and ashamed to see your mother, but I didn't dare to tell anyone about the secret guard. One time, I went out with the servants in the house to look for you, and I never came back."
Yu Tingwan was silent for a moment.
Then he asked,
"Why does Duke Zhou keep chasing me?"
Yu Tingwan's eyes were clear and clean, as if there was no impurity in them, just like her.
"Even though I was just born and I am in the Yu family, I don't think I can pose any threat to him. "
Is it just because Gu Fuju reported them? But it seems that Duke Zhou
's Mansion didn't pay much for it. Is it because the Duke has to be particularly narrow-minded and intolerant?
Or do those in power always have a sense of superiority and don't take human life seriously. They can easily get a group of subordinates to do things under a word. Do they think it's as insignificant as crushing an ant to decide other people's life and death? Do
they enjoy this kind of pleasure?
Maybe it's all, but Yu Tingwan always feels that it's a bit far-fetched.
Gu Fuju's tone was still gentle.
"The nobles of the aristocratic families value face the most. Duke Zhou's younger brother was punished with ten spankers in the palace. Although it is a light punishment, it is also a slap in the face of the Zhou family."
Beating with a stick can make people bleed. At the same time, it can also be like a feather, which can't cause any harm to people.
It depends on whether there is someone to arrange it.
The Zhou family had already bribed the relationship, and the Zhou family members were not hurt at all.
"Have you heard of Wu Shi San?"
Yu Tingwan: "It's a medicine for curing diseases. "
It's expensive!
" Gu Fuju nodded: "It's also addictive."
"That man is addicted to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. After being punished, he didn't restrain himself at all. He felt that I had made him lose face and was very angry and arrogant. He secretly took Wu Shi San in private. He took too much and became hallucinogenic. He got pleasure from the heat and poison, and stepped on air and fell into the water and died."
Is the Zhouguo Mansion a reasonable family?
They beat and killed the servants who followed them and served them improperly, and then turned around...
"They blamed me again."
Yu Tingwan felt that something was missing.
Sure enough.
"The emperor also tacitly agreed."
Yu Tingwan's heart tightened.
"The He family supports the Yan family,"
"After the late emperor ascended the throne, people in Shangjing were in a panic. Old Master Lu pleaded for the Yan family and was beaten to death. Nothing happened to the He family because they had a relationship with the empress dowager."
Even if they were not real mother and son, he had to show his filial piety to others.
Would the emperor really not care?
The Zhou family had no ability.
Duke Zhou became the Duke because his sister became the queen.
His power and influence were all given by the emperor.
How could the emperor not know his every move?
"The emperor acquiesced but did not intervene. The exposure of the incident had nothing to do with the emperor, but he could use Duke Zhou to warn the He family and me not to have any thoughts that we shouldn't have. Otherwise, we can't afford the consequences."
"Duke Zhou hated me, but I acted according to the rules. He couldn't find any mistakes, and he couldn't get rid of me."
When he took action for the second time. Gu Fuju had returned to Shangjing to take up his post. He was no longer the small official who had gone to Dingdu to hide.
But Duke Zhou still dared to be presumptuous.
At this point, his back slightly bent, no longer as straight as before.
Yu Tingwan closed his eyes.
"So."
"You may not know my temper."
Yu Tingwan: "I am not used to others being nice to me, and I am not good at handling these relationships."
"You should have seen the Wei couple."
"My mother-in-law was kind to me at first and gave me a pair of cotton shoes. I subconsciously thought she had other intentions."
"At that time, I didn't think that in this world, everyone was destined to be nice to each other."
The girl's voice was not light, but the study was empty.
"But the Wei couple, my parents are unreserved to me."
Yu Tingwan raised his hand and gestured on his face.
"My father has a scar here, which is particularly long. It was caused by an accident when he was escorting."
"I asked him if it hurt, and he said he was not afraid of pain, but was afraid that we would cry."
"So, my mother didn't cry during the fire that day, she didn't dare to cry. She just kept saying in my ear, Yaoyao, don't sleep, your father will come."
Yu Jingcheng really came.
He threw himself into the sea of fire without hesitation.
The moment Hu Yu Niang saw him, she smiled.
She was born beautiful, and after marrying Yu Jingcheng, he raised her well.
Yu Tingwan still remembers the fire everywhere, but Hu Yu Niang's smile was even more scorching.
Yu Tingwan heard her sigh of relief.
Said.
["Jingcheng, take Yaoyao out quickly."]
"When my father took me from my mother's arms and ran out, his back was hit by the beam of the house falling down from the raging fire. I could smell the smell of burnt meat, but he told me not to be afraid all the way."
"He said he didn't feel any pain, but Yaoyao's tears were precious."
Yu Tingwan still dares not recall what Yu Jingcheng looked like at that time.
"But..."
"You may not believe it, I am unharmed."
"After I learned that my identity was different and that the daughter of the Gu family was favored by everyone, it was impossible for me to say that I didn't care at that time."
But that was not jealousy.
It was a faint unwillingness.
It was not that she cared particularly.
She was just confused at the time.
Why is it that she has nothing, but some people have never experienced any suffering?
Why is it that she lives so humbly and cautiously in Xilin Village, but some people can be so wantonly?
