Concubine like a house

Chapter 32
This passage of words came out of Xiu and seemed to understand but half understood, but for some reason, it was deeply remembered in my heart.Looking back on the past many years later, she had to admit that Yun Ci's words had a great impact on her.

It's just that you can't see it in the future, so let's look at the present for today.

"Master Hou, Mrs. Tai is here to invite you." A report came from outside the house suddenly.

Isn't mother worshiping Buddha behind closed doors?Why did you hear about yourself again?Yunci thought for a moment, and ordered Zhuying to follow him to Rongjintang, before leaving, he said to Chuxiu: "Go back and rest, I will order someone to call you if something happens."

Rongjin hall is full of agarwood fragrance, which can soothe the mind and mind. Yunci sniffed it deeply, and felt even more emotional.Once upon a time, the agarwood formula formulated by the father himself was a testimony of the love between their husband and wife, but now...

Yun Ci withdrew his thoughts at the right time, entered the room and called out respectfully, "Mother."

Mrs. Tai was resting her eyes with her eyes closed, making a slight clink of the beads in her hands, and muttering words from Buddhist scriptures.After a while, I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Yunci: "Today I remembered something happened and I called you to come and discuss it."

"It just so happens that the son also has something to discuss with his mother."

Hearing Yun Ci's words, Mrs. Tai's eyes were calm and unwavering: "I know what you want to say. If you agree to my business, I will naturally agree to what you think in your heart."

These words sounded like Mrs. Tai giving in, but in Yunci's ears, his expression changed instantly, and he called out in a low voice, "Mother..."

Mrs. Tai didn't seem to see the expressions of her parents and children, she said to herself: "You are already twenty-one, it's time to pass on the incense for the Hou's mansion. In the past, you were not close to women, and your health was not good. Now that you are born in Xiuxiu, this marriage is just right. It cannot be delayed any longer."

"Mother!" At this sound, Yun Ci called out a little displeased.

"Why, you don't want to?" Mrs. Tai flicked the beads in her hand and continued, "You are married to Miss Xia's fingertips. After all these years of delay, that child has been waiting for you unswervingly. Such a virtuous character, Where to find it?"

"Ke Chuxiu..." Yunci spoke, only said these three words, but was robbed by Mrs. Tai. "In the past, you didn't want to drag the Xia family down, and you wanted to withdraw the engagement. Did they have a complaint? In a blink of an eye, the child is eighteen or nineteen. If you don't marry again, you will really drag her down!"

Yun Ci frowned and remained silent, still refusing to make a statement.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tai sighed softly: "I know what you are thinking. You really love Miss Xia's family and would rather she marry another... But you are not a drag on Chuxiu? Or do you want a prostitute to be the Marquis of Lixin?" lady?"

At this point, Mrs. Tai gradually raised her voice, and asked three questions unhurriedly: "Do you think I will agree? Will the whole family agree? Or is it your responsibility to allow you to corrupt the Yun family like this?" Fame?" Three questioning sentences, one sentence became harsher.

Mother still knew Chuxiu's true identity!Yun Ci could only say in a low voice: "What happened in the past is not her fault."

"I didn't say it was her fault." Mrs. Tai answered, "You two met, and she looks like this, it's also the fate of you two. But paper can't cover fire, what happened to her in the past It's hard to guarantee that you won't be stabbed out. If there is a day, do you want the Helian family to step on my Yun family's face? Or do you want the Ming family to watch my jokes?"

Mrs. Tai asked in a deep voice, every word was like countless sharp knives, piercing Yunci's heart.If this had been done a few days ago, he would still have sworn to say the last word, let Chuxiu pass through the door, and let her have a child by his side.But now, he wished that Xiu hadn't conceived a child, a child who was poisoned with love from the mother's womb.

The lessons learned from the past are vivid, how can he allow his children to suffer the same fate as their parents?

Do you want to tell your mother about the poison?Confidentially reveal the sufferings of him and Chuxiu?No!This must involve the cause of his father's death.As the Son of Man, he cannot stab a knife in the heart of his mother.

The word "love poison" is a secret in this mansion, and it is also the truth that his father insisted on concealing before his death.If he wants to persuade his mother to agree to go out of Xiuxiu, he must explain the poisonous things clearly; but if he wants to uncover the old things one by one... With his mother's character, what kind of self-harming thing will she do? Words are unimaginable, let alone sure.

On one side is the biological mother, on the other side is the beloved woman... There is a choice, although Yun Ci is suffering, but he knows it well.What's more, he still has a burden that he has to bear.

There was a dull throbbing pain in my heart like a knife cutting, and it gradually spread all over my body.The torment of love poison, the obstruction of my mother, my own powerlessness...these are all unexpected things.A few days ago, Mingming confidently gave Chuxiu a promise, but in the blink of an eye, it became unspeakable.I knew so...

"Ci'er." Seeing that her parents and children remained silent for a long time, Mrs. Tai finally softened her heart and took a step back, "It's not impossible for you to like her. But with her status, it is absolutely impossible to have a serious status. As long as If you can guarantee that she has no children, I will allow her to accompany you for a long time, how about it?"

Childless... Is it a grace or a punishment for a woman to be childless?Yun Ci still frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tai's face gradually became dark again: "What dissatisfaction do you still have now? If I want to deal with her, I need your consent? A bowl of safflower can kill her! Now she has caused trouble for you brothers Disharmony, if you make you resist the marriage and have no heirs...the Yun family will not be able to keep this kind of calamity."

"Mother!" Yun Ci stood up from the wheelchair in shock, clenched his hands into fists, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

But at this time, Mrs. Tai has recovered her indifference, closed her eyes again, and fiddled with the prayer beads: "Why are you so nervous about her? You like her, don't you like her because she looks like Xia Yanran? Now I will be The master promised you, but you are not happy? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Yun Ci finally walked away without saying a word.

"They're both mother and son, why do you push Master Hou so hard?" After Yun Ci left, Mother Chi felt very distressed.After all, she was holding Dayun Ci in one hand, and she couldn't bear to see a mother and son making a fuss like this.

Mrs. Tai was expressionless, the calmness, coldness, helplessness, and tiredness just now disappeared without a trace, she just fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand and said: "You can't force it, even if you don't come out of Xiuxiu, this marriage can't be delayed. If his body is delayed for a few more years, I'm afraid he will have no heirs."

Chi's mother felt even more uncomfortable when she heard the words: "Master Hou feels bitter in his heart...you should at least give Xiu a title..."

"What title?" Mrs. Tai suddenly turned her voice cold, and said, "She is a prostitute, how can I give her a title? Such a thing that insults the Yun family's style will never happen." After saying this, he sighed deeply. , and then said, "If Ci'er is an ordinary noble family and a small family, it is not impossible for him to take Chuxiu as his concubine. But, this is Yunfu, he is Lixinhou first, and then my son... "

Even if she forced her only son, Xie Badan could not let Yun's family business and reputation decline in this generation: "If you are not strong, how can my mother and son have the face to meet our ancestors after a hundred years?"

Mrs. Xie has experienced many storms in her life, and she has long realized that she has no destiny with the word "love". No matter love or family affection, they are all withered by the wind.Her existence is only for glory, status and reputation.As long as you live, live only for this.

Mother Chi has been with Mrs. Tai for decades, so she can naturally understand her thoughts, so she asked, "When do you plan to arrange the Marquis's marriage?"

"Of course, the sooner the better." Mrs. Tai replied without hesitation, "Now Ci'er has just found out about the relationship between men and women, this is a rare opportunity. In fact, I have to thank Chuxiu. If it wasn't for her, I don't know when Ci'er would come close. Femininity."

"That's right, it's considered unintentional." Chi's mother echoed.

"It's just a pity, Qianyun." Mrs. Tai looked down at the beads, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes revealed a bit of disappointment, "I originally wanted to teach her how to do this house, and I will help another concubine when I have a chance in the future. Let her go." Before knowing Yanxuan, she also taught her about men and women... It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven."

"Miss Qianyun is not feeling very well these days. I heard that Lord Hou treats her very coldly." Mother Chi replied.

Mrs. Tai only sighed softly: "That's why I said she was a pity. This child is too stubborn, and it's because I had too high expectations of her in the past, and I pushed her hard."

"How about... Let Qian Yun come back to serve you?" Mother Chi asked cautiously.

This time, Mrs. Tai seemed to be seriously deliberating, and said after a while: "Forget it, let's stay in Zhiyanxuan. I'm afraid I can come back, but my heart can't."

"You still see clearly."

"It's because I saw it clearly that I dared to take this harsh medicine and ordered Ci'er to marry Xia Yanran." Mrs. Tai finally showed a smile, and looked at Chi's mother, "Do you know that Ci'er moved out to live alone at the age of 13? Then why did you name the garden 'Zhiyanxuan'?"

"Why?"

"Xia Yanran's small characters are called 'Pin Yan'."

With a "click", Mrs. Tai put the beads on the case and made an important decision at the same time: "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, this marriage must be prepared immediately. I will go to Mu Wang's mansion in person and invite Mu Wang to be a matchmaker." Witness."
