Phoenix on Fire: Allure of the City

"Get up!"

"Thank you sir."

"In the future, don't kneel down at every turn."

"Yes."

"Mother Li, from your tone just now, it seems that the relationship between you and the students is not as simple as that between the master and the subordinates." [

Mama Li hesitated for a while.

Nalan Qingcheng waved his hand.

"You don't want to say it, and I don't want to force it."

"No, it's not, it's just that it's a long story."

"It's okay, let's talk!"

"To tell the truth, master, I was originally the original wife of the bachelor."

These words made Nalan Qingcheng's eyes tremble, but she did not interrupt Li's mother.

"My lord's surname is Li. My name is a foreign character. I was originally a cousin. Our two families are considered wealthy, and we have a good relationship. In addition, we are relatives, so we were given by our parents when we were young. I made a baby marriage. When I was 14 years old, Li Yang was 17 years old. He said that he would come back and marry me after he got the honor in the examination. The night before he left, I committed myself to him. He has been away for several years. That At that time, my children were already able to walk on the ground, and they could call me mother."

Speaking of this, a happy smile appeared on Li's mother's face.

"Because my husband gave birth to a child before I was married, and seeing that Li Yang has never heard of it, my parents want me to marry another family as a concubine. I would rather die than do it. In this year, I will be 20 years old. My child is also five years old, and I was forced to marry that family by my mother's death. Unexpectedly, the news of Li Yang's return came the next day. At that moment, no matter how hard or tired I was, I have never shed a tear, and I burst into tears in an instant."

Mother Li picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Nalan Qingcheng gestured for her to sit down.

Mother Li continued after sitting down.

"He came back, and he was wearing a bright red robe and a black gauze hat, with countless officers and soldiers behind him, and a beautiful lady by his side. When I saw them walking side by side, I thought it was the maid he brought back. , without thinking too much, went home and stayed quietly in the room waiting for him to come to me, but I waited day after day but still couldn't see him. My mother asked me to find him, but I went alone and saw him. There were big red lanterns hanging at the door of the house, and it was a joy, too, how can I not celebrate when the number one scholar came back, but when I went in, I found no one there, so I went to the hall, and the scene I saw after I went in is something I will never forget."

Speaking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in Li's mother's eyes.

"After I went in, I found his parents were sitting on the high hall, and Li Yang and the beautiful girl he brought back were sitting down with affectionate emotions. When they saw me, a trace of light flashed across the faces of his parents and Li Yang. Embarrassed, I went up to Li Yang's parents and bowed down.

"I met my aunt, uncle."

"Uh, hehe, get up, why should the whole family be so polite?"

There was a hint of guilt and guilt in the tone of Li Yang's parents. At this time, I had vaguely guessed something, so I turned around and bowed to Li Yang. [

"Meet my cousin."

At that moment, I saw Li Yang's face was white and red.

I pretended not to know anything and stepped forward to hold his hand.

"Cousin, who is this girl?"

The girl looked at me holding my cousin's hand, her eyes were clearly clouded, but she said with a smile.

"This one must be my cousin, right? Husband often mentions you to me. I have met your cousin. I am your cousin."
