"Ye'er, what's going on!"
Gong Zhuoliang hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye'er untie her. Seeing that there was still a signed letter for him on the couch, Gong Zhuoliang immediately tore open the envelope and read it.
"Master, Missy went to find Mrs. Gong and walked for more than half an hour!"
Ye'er unfastened the veil that blocked her mouth, and hurriedly informed Gong Zhuoyan of her whereabouts, and within a while, Gong Zhuoliang had already read the letter, put it in her arms, and ran out the door.
"Take care of Xian'er!"
After finishing speaking, Gong Zhuoliang ran outside the door and stepped on the horse neatly. He already had a balance in his heart when turning the horse's head. He was worried that if he went alone, if Mrs. Gong went crazy, he would not be able to leave the gate of the palace house, so Gong Zhuoliang went to the nearest He ran back to Wu's side and called the guards at home, and then led them to the Gong's house.
"Where is Missy?"
When he got to the door, he jumped off his horse, Gong Zhuoliang grabbed the doorman who came up to please him, and asked in a stern voice.
"In, in the wife's room!"
The door servant was frightened by Gong Zhuoliang's appearance, trembling and heading towards the inner house, then he was pushed vigorously and fell to the ground. When he and another door servant who was also frightened recovered, Gong Zhuoliang had brought A group of people broke in.
"You two come in with me, and the others stay outside."
Because those chaotic servants didn't dare to stop Gong Zhuoliang, he rushed to the front of Madam Gong's courtyard almost unhindered, ordered the servants Gong Er and Gong San to follow in, and the others were followed by Gong Zhuoliang. He stayed outside the gate and waited.
"Where is Missy? Sister!"
He grabbed a maid and asked where Gong Zhuoyan was. Gong Zhuoliang broke into the main house amidst the screams of the maids, and when he opened the closed door, what he saw was Gong Zhuoyan in white and leaning on his shoulders. Mrs. Gong was almost fainted with crutches, and all the tables and chairs between them were overturned. Judging from the angle, this should be Gong Zhuoyan's masterpiece.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Seeing Gong Zhuoyan standing in front of him intact, Gong Zhuoliang couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief, as long as he was fine, but just when he was about to walk towards Gong Zhuoyan, Gong Zhuoyan suddenly looked back at him, That smile full of absolute taste with tears in it made Gong Zhuoliang's heart skip a beat, and subconsciously rushed towards Gong Zhuoyan, but after all, it was not as fast as the dagger she hid in her sleeve.
"sister!"
Seeing that the blood from Gong Zhuoyan's abdomen began to stain the white dress red, Gong Zhuoliang hugged her slipping body and sat down on the ground together in a daze.
Gong Zhuoliang felt that Mrs. Gong's screams and other exclamations were far away from him, but he could only see Gong Zhuoyan's bright smile of relief in his eyes.
"Mrs. Gong, you are the one who gave birth to me and raised me, but you are also the one who ruined my life. Today, I give you back the life you gave me. Are you satisfied? Maybe you let me go? "
Feeling that she was numb from the pain, Gong Zhuoyan held back her energy, holding the dagger inserted into her abdomen with one hand, and firmly grasping Gong Zhuoliang's front collar with the other to fix her body that was rapidly losing strength, looking at Mrs. Gong's eyes full of provocation and hatred.
If any other person killed her husband, Gong Zhuoyan would do everything possible to avenge her husband by killing him, and then try her best to survive and take care of their children, but this enemy was her biological mother!
Gong Zhuoyan couldn't do such a heinous act of killing her mother, but she couldn't tolerate her behavior of trying to control her mother and child, so Gong Zhuoyan could only use the method of ending her own life to punish and revenge the one who kept saying that she was her. The only family member and the crazy woman to rely on!
"No, Yan'er, it's not like this, I don't want to be like this, Yan'er, I don't want to be like this! Ahh!"
Mrs. Gong seemed to be greatly stimulated. She wanted to get close to Gong Zhuoyan but was frightened by her eyes. she.
"I won't forgive you, even if I die. My sons and daughters are all dead, and no one dies. This is your retribution, your retribution!"
Sneering at Mrs. Gong who was crying in embarrassment, Gong Zhuoyan's sanity has gradually blurred, but the hand holding Gong Zhuoliang's skirt still did not relax at all, and her gaze moved back to his face a little dullly. It is full of mourning and begging.
Mrs. Gong seemed to be frightened by Gong Zhuoyan's curse-like words, and suddenly choked and passed out. The maids rushed in in panic and patted her on the back, but Gong Zhuoliang didn't care about her at all at this time Whether it is life or death, all attention is focused on Gong Zhuoyan.
"Sister, don't worry..."
Holding the wound on Gong Zhuoyan's abdomen with one hand, Gong Zhuoliang's mood was extremely complicated. Such a wound could not be revived in ancient times without surgical operations... As a modern person, Gong Zhuoliang had already described it in books or on TV. I am used to watching life and death, and like most modern people, I am used to indifference, but when Gong Zhuoyan committed suicide in front of him, Gong Zhuoliang was deeply shocked, such strong and gorgeous emotions, such a free and unrestrained soul , for Gong Zhuoliang who is used to indifference and self-interest, it is so unbelievable.
If it was before, Gong Zhuoliang felt that he would deny Gong Zhuoyan's way of belittling life. People often say that living is harder than dying, so committing suicide is a coward's principle, but now, he hopes that The next life really exists, so that Gong Zhuoyan can live in her era of enlightened legal system in her next life - that woman can also dominate her own life and guard her love era...
"Liang'er... mother forced me to separate from your brother-in-law, sister... there is no other way, Liang'er, Ying Ze will... leave it to you, can you...can you promise to take care of... him for the rest of your life?"
Knowing that what Gong Zhuoliang agreed to was the request written in her letter, Gong Zhuoyan looked at Junyan in front of her eyes, as if she could see through him the appearance of her little baby when she grew up... In the most painful time, my sister couldn't help you. The only thing I can do now is... to be perfect.
"Sister! I promise you, don't worry, I promise you everything."
Gong Zhuoliang's body trembled slightly, and he realized that Gong Zhuoyan's move was to justify his name, and his feelings for her became more complicated. She is willing to bear the notoriety of betraying her relatives, thinking that if she doesn't offend her, she won't bother with them. If she is procrastinating, if she can ask Gong Zhuoxiang to find a way to deal with the Gong family earlier, it won't hurt Gong Zhuoyan and her husband...
"Lianger... thank you... and... I'm sorry... he..."
Gong Zhuoyan wanted to raise her hand to wipe away the tear that fell from the boy's face, but found that she could no longer lift her hand, and she seemed to hear the cry of a baby, Gong Zhuoyan silently expressed her reluctance and love in her heart I'm sorry, but in the end it all turned into missing my husband... My husband, I'm here to find you, are you obediently waiting for me
"I swear, I will take good care of him."
Knowing that what Gong Zhuoyan said at the end was referring to the child, Gong Zhuoliang hugged Gong Zhuoyan's body tightly, softly but firmly made his promise, and at this moment, Gong Zhuoliang's heart also I silently swear that he will not muddle along like before and be kind to a woman, because in this era, he is not alone, he has a lover and family to protect!
"Master, look..."
Seeing Gong Zhuoliang picking up the young lady's body, Gong Er hurriedly approached him to ask for instructions.
Ever since the Ruozi incident happened in the Gong family, people's hearts have been restless, and then the young master disappeared, and Mrs. Gong became more and more eerie and irritable, so the Gong family became more and more decadent. Now Mrs. Gong is in a daze, isn't it? It's a total mess.
"You see the master and wife recuperating in peace of mind in this room. The other things are handled by my sister-in-law. You and San'er help my sister-in-law together. If anyone refuses to obey the discipline, they will all be kicked out."
Regardless of being stained with blood, Gong Zhuoliang picked up Gong Zhuoyan and walked out, while the clever Gong San had already pulled the carriage.
For Gong Zhuoyu's main wife, his nominal sister-in-law Xu, Gong Zhuoliang's impression is a very weak and responsible woman, just like most women in this era, she may not love her husband, but But she has to entrust her life to the man who bears the name of her husband, and this woman married to Gong Zhuoyu is undoubtedly the one who drew the lottery.
Now that the Gong family is defeated, Gong Zhuoliang doesn't have the time to take care of this big mess, so it's up to the Gong family to decide for themselves, and the wealth accumulated by the Gong family is enough for them to live comfortably.
"Yes, the little ones understand."
Hearing Gong Zhuoliang's order, Gong Er and Gong San looked at each other, and took the order to take their entourage to work. The two of them knew that their young master was cruel this time. I have raised it for a long time...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX More than half a month later, in a mountain forest outside Bocheng, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze, both dressed in white mourning clothes, stood side by side in front of Gong Zhuoyan's tomb, offering incense and wine with serious expressions, and behind them, Ruolan He and Ye'er hugged two children who were also wearing white mourning, and kowtowed to the tombstone with only Gong Zhuoyan's name written on them instead.
In this era, except for a few ethnic groups, or in cases of unavoidable circumstances such as the death of a guest who cannot be transported back to a foreign country, people’s custom is to bury them in the ground. It is a custom to put the ashes of husband and wife together, so in her last wish, she hoped that Gong Zhuoliang could cremate her husband and wife, and then mix the ashes together and bury them on the mountain where the wisteria blossoms.
After Gong Zhuoliang lamented her free and easy freedom again, he bought this wood with wisteria on the mountain as the cemetery of their husband and wife. It's a pity that her husband's name cannot be engraved on it, but he will be with Gong Zhuoyan remain in the hearts of the living.
"Sister, the affairs of the Gong family are over..."
Sprinkling the wine in the cup in front of the tomb, Gong Zhuoliang softly told her about the affairs of the Gong family.
After Gong Zhuoyan's death, Gong Zhuoliang locked up the Gong family and his wife on the grounds of recuperating, and then gave Gong Zhuoxiang a letter of divorce, explaining to him what happened, and then Gong Zhuoxiang came to visit in person.
Mr. Gong couldn't bear the pain of quitting smoking, so he bumped into a pillar that night, Mrs. Gong was charged with murdering her husband and forcing her daughter to death, and was forced to commit suicide by swallowing gold. Gong Zhuoliang also watched the whole process without changing his face. After that, Gong Zhuoxiang didn't say anything to comfort him, but just patted Gong Zhuoliang on the shoulder and rushed back to the capital. It will be like Gong Zhuoliang is a fledgling again, and can only live under his protection.
When the funeral was held, Xu took the initiative to find Gong Zhuoliang, and asked him to help sell all the business stores in the family into land and cash, because she was a woman and she didn't want to be a merchant anymore, she just wanted to bring the concubine and concubines to rest. Every day, Gong Zhuoliang didn't want to get dirty, so he instructed her to entrust everything to her family, even if she gave more benefits, she would be able to get the protection of her family in the future, Xu agreed to his arrangement, and Gong Zhuoliang completely stayed out of it , even Shouxiao only followed the clan's rules for one year, and he completely separated himself from the lineage of the Bocheng Palace family.
"Sister, Zhuozhuo and I thank you for your fulfillment."
Qiao Yingze, who was behind Gong Zhuoliang, also took a step forward, sprinkled fine wine on the tombstone, and saluted sincerely.
Because of Gong Zhuoyan's "entrustment" before her death, and because of Qiao Yingze's well-known weakness, the combination of the two became more "reasonable" in the future, and even after Gong Zhuoliang deliberately exaggerated, the relationship between the two was changed The personal relationship rose to the height of responsibility and keeping promises, and then turned into a good story, which was unexpected by both of them.
"Xian'er's public identity is my eldest son. When he grows up, I will tell him his life experience and let him know that he has a very remarkable mother..."
Taking Gong Jinxian who was sleeping peacefully from Ye'er's arms, Gong Zhuoliang hugged him and squatted in front of Gong Zhuoyan's grave, then kissed his delicate little face.
And just as Gong Zhuoliang said, he forged the identity of his own concubine son for Gong Jinxian, and took him home after his outer room died of illness. Gong Zhuoliang's mother Wu admitted that this was his own grandson, and others naturally There was no need to talk too much, so Gong Jinxian became Gong Zhuoliang's eldest son in an aboveboard manner.
"Okay Zhuozhuo, you are tired enough these days, let's go back today."
Looking at the dark eye sockets on Gong Zhuoliang's fair face, Qiao Yingze helped him up with some distress, and touched and touched around his eye sockets.
"It's not that I'm tired, it's that this little guy is so annoying that I can't sleep well at night."
Gong Zhuoliang smiled and let Qiao Yingze grope, couldn't help but yawned slightly, and then Xiao Jinxian in his arms was carried by Qiao Yingze and handed over to Ye Er, and he himself was dragged into the carriage, and Gong Zhuoliang Not being polite to Qiao Yingze, she lay on his lap and hugged his waist, and fell asleep in the slow-moving carriage after a while.
Speaking of which, Gong Jinxian and his little brother Qiao Minyan are really two types of children. I think their little Minyan is such an easy baby to take care of. He doesn't cry or make trouble, and he and his wife met Just laugh, it's really rare, but now Xiao Jinxian is a full-fledged coquette, crying when he's hungry, crying when he's hungry, and crying when he's away from Gong Zhuoliang...
Gong Zhuoliang really loses his temper after being treated by him. It stands to reason that such a young child will not recognize people. He will rely on his mother because he is used to the environment of the mother's body and has a sense of security with the mother's familiar heartbeat and vital signs. People don't make much difference, but Gong Jinxian is surprisingly very dependent on Gong Zhuoliang. During the day, he can let others stay close to him for a while, but at night, he can't coax anyone except Gong Zhuoliang. After accepting this little ancestor, Gong Zhuoliang never had a peaceful night's sleep, how sad it is.
"Then sleep well at my place this afternoon..."
In the carriage, Qiao Yingze stroked Gong Zhuoliang's hair, and whispered something softly in his ear.
"OK… "
Rubbing Qiao Yingze's leg with his face, Gong Zhuoliang squinted his eyes and responded, feeling really comfortable.
"A letter from Jingli. Brother Lu won the second place in the martial arts ranking. It is said that he lost to the son of a general, but he was appreciated by His Royal Highness and was selected into the Eastern Palace Guard..."
Thinking of Qiao Yingxuan's family letter, Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang mentioned the good news, and seeing that Gong Zhuoliang was very useful, Qiao Yingze continued to stroke his hair.
"oh… "
Feeling that Qiao Yingze's gentle voice was like the best lullaby, Gong Zhuoliang answered vaguely, his consciousness getting more and more confused.
"Zhuo Zhuo, this time Xian'er can't serve wine for a hundred days, let's celebrate him at home, are you asleep?"
It's rare to be able to get along so easily for a while, Qiao Yingze felt that he had a lot of topics to talk to Gong Zhuoliang, but after only a while, the little daughter-in-law had already fallen asleep.
"Heh... little pig..."
He leaned over and kissed Gong Zhuoliang's temples lightly. Qiao Yingze just smiled and wanted to tell Gong Zhuoliang to sleep well when he heard the sound of a baby crying from the carriage behind him, and almost reflexively, the baby in his arms Zhuo Liang sat up straight, then turned his head in a daze and looked for a long time without seeing the child, then he muttered a few words or something and fell back into his arms, groaning that he had a headache, so sleepy What, Qiao Yingze was silent, and finally couldn't help but put his arms around Gong Zhuoliang and laughed muffled.
Qiao Yingze is already looking forward to the days to come...
