Chapter 463 Mother and Daughter
The sixth day.
The bad news came out of the Lin Mansion early in the morning. Seeing that Lin Ruofu was not going to the dining hall to eat, the servants put the food in a eating box and brought it into the bedroom. However, when he walked to the bedside and called for someone, But he was horrified to find that the prime minister died on the bed, leaving only a headless body.
The Lin Mansion was in chaos, and news quickly spread throughout the official circles.
You must know that Lin Ruofu was the leader of hundreds of officials. His death would have a huge shock to the court.
Lin Ruofu died in his own home. The condition of his death was the same as that of Ye Zhong who died two days ago. Furthermore, he was Lin Wan'er's father, had a grudge against Chu Pingsheng in the past, and was a hindrance to the Northern Qi Mie Qing. Anyone with a right mind would Everyone will look at Chu Pingsheng with suspicion.
The military boss Ye Zhong is dead, now it is the turn of the civil servants chief Lin Ruofu...
Ye Chong is Ye Ling'er's father, Lin Ruofu is Lin Waner's father, or the same sentence In other words, what Chu Pingsheng said at the celebration banquet was 100% correct. Being his father-in-law was definitely a very dangerous profession.
Her father died. Logically speaking, Lin Waner should mourn and observe filial piety, but no, she must marry into the Chu Mansion the next day, because this is the deadline given by Chu Pingsheng. If she does not marry, the Qi State will The army is no longer just operating a hundred miles south of the original border between the two countries.
But fortunately, she is the illegitimate daughter of Lin Ruofu and Li Yunrui. Legally speaking, she does not have to go to the vigil.
...
The seventh day is also the deadline given by Chu Pingsheng, the wedding day of the three women Lin Wan'er, Ye Ling'er and Fan Ruoruo.
The Royal Garden is sunny after the rain.
While the wind brings dampness and coldness, it also blows the smell of the big locust tree at the door into the courtyard, mixed with the sweet and sour smell of crab apples, filling the building with fragrance.
The red carpet is in front of the door, the red carpet is behind the door, and there is also a red carpet on the long road, which extends all the way to the embroidery building where Lin Wan'er lives.
The window was open, and the wind blew the gauze swaying slightly.
Li Yunrui was dressed in a black dress, standing behind her daughter in a bright red wedding dress, looking in the bronze mirror at her beautiful daughter with a phoenix crown on her head, vermilion lips, and a touch of rouge on her cheeks, slightly lost in thought.
"Has Fan Xian been here?"
"Yes."
"I advise you to go with him?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you go with him?"
"..."
It rained lightly just now. It seemed that God was thinking about her. Destiny Cries - A person who has been frail and sick since he was a child, has a father, but cannot be listed in the family tree, has a mother, but rarely sees him a few times a year, and when he grows up, he has to marry a bastard that he doesn't like, no, it should be said that he killed his brother and his father's enemy. .
The moisture spread a layer of mist on the mirror, and the faces of the mother and daughter were a little blurry, much like their family affection.
But she was born to Li Yunrui after all, so at this important moment, the mother had to do the makeup herself.
"Why don't you go with him? If you go with him, you don't have to marry someone you hate."
"..."
Lin Waner still didn't speak. , just looking at himself in the mirror expressionlessly, as if he was a stranger who had nothing to do with him.
"No, he is not only someone you hate, but also your enemy. Are you afraid? Are you afraid that Ye Ling'er will end up with you? Or are you afraid that if Chu Ping doesn't get you in his life, he will put all his life away? You pour your anger on Fan Xian and kill him? But do you know that if you think you are protecting him, will he just watch you marry Chu Pingsheng? "
"..."
Lin Wan'er continued to be silent. Not only did she not speak, she also picked up the earrings placed on the table and held them in her palms, meaning to ask her mother to help her put them on.
Li Yunrui picked up the earring in her hand very slowly.
"What are you thinking about? You still refuse to tell me to this day?"
Li Yunrui spoke a little fast, and her tone was more trembling than ups and downs, which showed that she was very Excited.
"Mother..."
"What?"
"Do you like him?"
Crack.
An earring fell to the ground. Li Yunrui brushed his hair from his temples, bent down and picked up the earring that fell on the ground. He wiped it again and again with the towel next to it to make sure it was not contaminated with dust. Wear it to Lin Wan'er's left ear.
When she went to put on the earrings for her daughter's right ear, Lin Waner looked at her mother in the mirror and said faintly: "I've heard all about it... He was the one who defied the imperial edict and brought you back from the road to Xinyang. It was him, I will vent my anger on you and kill Gong Dian who dares to stop you from entering the palace."
Li Yunrui's men did not stop, and put on her earrings with the shape of gold leaves and crystal stamens. He looked at his daughter in the mirror. Without denying it, he said openly: "Yes, I like him. Is this what Fan Xian told you?"
"Dad told me."
"He is jealous. Why are you telling you this?"
Lin Wan'er didn't respond to her question and said to herself: "He died the next day."
"Oh."
Li Yunrui's expression was very cold. He only put his hand on his daughter's shoulder and looked at the girl who inherited her beauty with admiration from behind. "Today is the day when dad is buried. You didn't even go to the Lin Mansion to pay homage, just to please your little man."
"He didn't kill the person."
< br>Li Yunrui fiddled with the phoenix crown, which was larger than his daughter's head, to make it more upright.
"It was him who killed the Queen Mother, his father, his brother..."
"No, it was Bai Feng who killed the Queen Mother, it was Bai Feng who killed your brother, and it was Li Yunqian who killed your father."
"Mom, don't you think you are deceiving yourself?" Lin Wan'er looked in the mirror at the eldest princess who rarely visited her, but showed her mother's tenderness when she got married: "Just to like him with peace of mind."< br>
Li Yunrui pressed her slightly uneven bun, looking at it like a piece of handicraft: "Whatever you think."
This time it was Lin Wan'er's turn to have ups and downs of emotions, and she took a deep breath He said in a tone: "You asked me to elope with Fan Xian just so that after I leave, you can legitimately marry him, right?"
"..."
Li Yunrui's hand stopped in mid-air and his eyes froze.
"He came to the palace to propose marriage and said he wanted to marry you. You pushed your daughter to him for the sake of power and internal treasure. Now you regret it?" Lin Waner's face was cold, and her eyes were somewhat happy: " Aren't you the most beautiful woman in the Qing Kingdom? Aren't all men unable to resist your temptation? In order to make Fan Xian sad, he would rather marry a woman who doesn't like him than marry you, the most beautiful woman in the Qing Kingdom. , this time, you really shot yourself in the foot."
"..."
Lin Wan'er raised her head and faced her profile with a hint of resentment: "It hurts. It will hurt you even more when I kill him.”
Snap!
Li Yunrui's hand fell from the sky and slapped Lin Wan'er.
Crack!
The phoenix crown fell, and Lin Wan'er was also knocked down. She lay on the ground with her hands on her wedding dress, panting and looking at her mother who was out of control.
"Haha, hahaha... cough cough... cough cough..."
Lin Wan'er coughed up a large mouthful of blood, staining the sleeves of her wedding dress. She took several breaths to calm down, and said intermittently: "Mom, if I were you... I would not be angry, because you should know that with my skills ...The possibility of killing him is basically zero. Even if I don't die tonight... I still don't have many days left to live. You just need to wait until I die... Then you can legitimately marry "Chu Mansion."
Li Yunrui's expression slowly softened, with a hint of distress, he lifted his delicate and frail daughter up from the ground, held her face and whispered in a low voice: "Mom shouldn't be sad. , I shouldn’t be resentful, let alone hit you, because it’s you, my daughter, who defeated my mother.”
After saying that, he picked up the phoenix crown on the ground and put it on her again.
“You are the most beautiful today.”
……
at the same time.
Ye Mansion.
Today is the day when the eldest daughter of the Ye family comes out of the cabinet, but from the front door to the back door, the entire courtyard is empty, without a trace of joy, and few people come and go.
This is not only because the head of the family, Ye Zhong, died a few days ago and the body is still being transported, but also because Ye Liuyun issued an order to send away the slaves and also asked the tribesmen who were able to move to leave the city for refuge.
He didn't say the reason, but Ye Ling'er knew that the decisive battle with Master and Disciple Baifeng was coming.
Chen Pingping, Fan Jian and others with Fan Xian as the core are like this, because if they don't take action, after tonight, Lin Waner will be Chu Pingsheng's person.
Ye Liuyun, Sigu Jian and others with Emperor Qing as the core are like this because they can join forces with Fan Xian's people to take action.
No matter what differences and hatred they have, no one will deny that the people who pose the greatest threat at the moment are Bai Feng and Chu Pingsheng.
If we don’t kill them, the Qi army will go south. Once the Qing Kingdom is destroyed, what will happen to the interests of the Ye family? Is Dongyi City still far from the end?
In the deepest part of the Ye Mansion, unlike other embroidered buildings where the daughter of a noble family has money, Ye Ling'er, wearing a wedding dress, hugged her face and cried bitterly. She lost her rouge, gouache, hairband, earrings, necklace and so on. In one place, even the mirrors from Sandafang, used only by nobles, were smashed.
The two maids who helped her dress up were far away, standing next to the window that opened to the south and could see the martial arts arena. They were a little overwhelmed by the scene in front of them.
Although Ye Ling'er married into the Chu Mansion as a concubine and could not marry like Haitang Duoduo and other open matchmakers, dressing up was still necessary. In another hour or two, the person carrying the sedan chair would be Here, she is still crying and uncooperative, but what should I do...
Of course, they can understand Ye Ling'er's behavior, but they can only understand Miss Ye's hatred, but not her resentment. And regret.
She kept asking herself why.
Why did things become like this?
Ye Wan died, Ye Zhong died, and the two closest people died because of her. What did she do wrong?
She was slapped unconscious by Chu Pingsheng that night and did not hear the conversation between Li Yunrui and Ye Liuyun, so she still does not understand what the Ye family did wrong to end up like this.
"Miss."
The maid with a mole between her eyebrows stepped forward and was about to persuade her to stop crying when a cloud of yellow mist suddenly floated outside the window, smelling a faint fragrance, and then There is no more.
Poof.
Plop.
The two maids fell to the ground one after another.
A figure flashed outside the window, and a man wearing a black robe and curly hair jumped into the room.
"Ye Ling'er, you asked Wang Qinian to send me a letter saying that he wanted to see me?"
