Splendid spring returns

Chapter 68
Gu Yunxiang's tears fell to the ground one by one, and she choked up and said: "When the news of the father's death came, my aunt... cried all day long, and after sending her father to the ground the day before yesterday, she... refused to eat Well, I said that I want...to go with my father, I...I can't persuade you, just now...you have passed out, I think...I'm afraid I won't be able to last tonight..."

"Hunger strike?" Xin Nian asked in disbelief, "Aunt Qin is going to be buried?"

Gu Yunxiang shook his head hastily, and looked at Xin Nian nervously with his teary eyes wide open: "I dare not think about this, how can my aunt dare to hope to be buried with my father? It's just... I can find a place around him..."

"Don't, don't, don't talk about it, let's go and see Aunt Qin first, this... Even if you have a deep relationship with the old prince, you can't do such a foolish thing. Sacrifice is a bad custom of the old dynasty a hundred years ago. Now This is not advocated.”

Xin Nian pulled Gu Yunxiang away, and at the same time told Xinghua behind him: "Go to the kitchen, whether it's rice soup, ginseng soup, chicken soup or something, just call and bring it here. If it's just hungry, people can be saved."

"Yes."

Xinghua agreed, and trotted to the kitchen. Here, Xin Nian hurriedly pulled Gu Yunxiang, and when he reached a fork in the road, he slapped his head: "Where is your yard? I have only been in the backyard for a short time, and I haven't been to your place yet."

"Go this way."

Gu Yunxiang stretched out her hand to point to the left, and then led the way. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. For so many years, mother and daughter lived in the small courtyard, and she was like a puppet. How people arranged her This time, if Aunt Qin didn't see her life, and thought that Xin Nian had brought back the golden hairpin for them earlier, she was just, she would never have dared to go out and ask for it.

The more he walked, the more desolate, Xin Nian looked at Gu Yunxiang's back, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: If he was reborn and left the Qingliang Pavilion, would he be like Gu Yunxiang even if Liuzai Yaya didn't die?No one cares about it, no one cares about it, even when my mother is about to die, I can't find anyone to turn to for help. In the end, I came to ask her to prepare a coffin for Aunt Qin.

Wealthy and rich, with unlimited scenery, who knew that this luxurious palace was actually a cannibal.

Xin Nian has never been so deeply aware of the cruelty in the backyard of Prince Duan's Mansion like this time.If it is said that before that, she was hostile to Princess Liao, she just wanted to fight for a better future for herself and her children, and live a prosperous and safe life.Then at this moment, the idea changed.

Her slender hands clenched into fists.She doesn't know if she is capable or not, and she doesn't know if Gu Changting's love for her can last until that day comes, but she just has a strong desire now: she wants to be the master of the house, she wants to change Duanwang Mansion, make this backyard If she can no longer eat people without spitting out bones, she wants to live in this prince's mansion, and there will be no more innocent souls from now on.

"arrive."

Gu Yunxiang's voice pulled Xin Nian back to her mind, and she took a deep breath: It's too early to think about these things, and it's not even realistic at all. It's better to do what is within your ability first, and take this wish as an ambition, and then slowly figure it out. Of.

Following Gu Yunxiang into the dilapidated courtyard, Xin Nian couldn't help asking softly, "Have you been living here?"

"I moved here the year before last."

Gu Yunxiang replied in a low voice, so Xin Nian understood: the year before last, it was the day when the situation in northern Xinjiang was in dire straits, and Prince Duan was ordered to go there when he was in danger.

The concubine, thanks to her family background, is so narrow-minded that she doesn't even want to do superficial kung fu.Now that the old prince is dead, she has almost no restrictions in this mansion, and she has to be on guard against any cruel things she will do in the future.

At this time, Xin Nian also understood why Aunt Qin would go on a hunger strike to die.The concubine doesn't care about things, and Gu Changting is not close to them. Once the old prince dies, it can be said that he has lost even his last hope. If he doesn't seek death, he can only live and suffer every day. How can this be a hunger strike?Obviously desperate for life.

After entering the room, she saw Aunt Qin was fully dressed and lying on the bed, only to be startled by Xin Nian, and hurried forward to check her breath, only to find that she was still alive.It's just that the breath is really weak.

Looking around, these rooms are almost the same as the four walls of the house, there is nothing to eat, but fortunately there is hot water, so I poured a bowl, opened Aunt Qin's mouth and poured a little for her first , while anxiously said: "Why don't the people in the kitchen come?"

Gu Yunxiang stood beside him dumbly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Auntie, don't be busy, Aunt Qin...Death is decided, let alone rescued, so what? It's just living like this every day, without even a little hope nothing."

Xin Nian looked at her, got up and held her cold little hand, sighed: "Don't say that, life will always get better, people have hope when they live, but when they die, they really have nothing."

Gu Yunxiang turned her head, maybe she had never heard such gentle and comforting words, she couldn't help crying and said: "My mother took my hand last night and said, tell me to live well, I am a girl from the palace, there will always be One day I will leave the cabinet, and my husband's family is my hope. But I don't believe it. What good family can a concubine who no one cares about marry? Even if I marry in, what help can I bring to my husband's family? No value, no value, I'm afraid even the wife of the eldest son in our mansion can't compare, the eldest son is still a decent person after all, and can give her the most basic respect, how can I be so lucky? Can I meet such a beloved person? If I hadn't asked for a coffin for my mother, I would have gone to find my father with my mother..."

Xin Nian was a little surprised when she heard her say this with tears in her eyes: I didn't expect that the third girl, who had been neglected since she was a child, could still have this kind of insight, she was really sober and transparent.Unfortunately, I do not know why?Gu Changting never mentioned their mother and daughter, reasoning, he shouldn't be such a ruthless person, what twists and turns are there?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps coming from outside. I turned my head and saw Du Sanniang and Xinghua walking in with two food boxes. Seeing her, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Auntie is here too? We heard Xinghua As for the girl, fortunately, fish soup, chicken soup, rice soup, and ginseng soup are always in stock in the kitchen, so I hurried over after picking up a few bowls, how is Aunt Qin?"

"It's still alive, quickly feed the ginseng soup."

Xin Nian heaved a sigh of relief, at this time Du Sanniang also saw Aunt Qin, she couldn't help being taken aback, and murmured: "It's all packed, just waiting to die."

"Rescue people first, let's talk about things later."

Xin Nian walked over to help Aunt Qin up, and joined forces with Du Sanniang to feed her ginseng soup.Fortunately, although Aunt Qin's death has been decided, her physical instincts are still there. As soon as the delicious ginseng soup is fed into her mouth, her throat can't stop swallowing like rain after a long drought, and soon she drank up the whole bowl of ginseng soup.
