"Originally, our Lin family is very proud in front of His Majesty. In addition, the master and the wife are both prominent figures in Kyoto, so even if the queen does not like the wife, she does not dare to do anything to the wife easily. Until one day, the queen, He actually summoned Madam into the palace alone. From then on, the Lin family was not at peace."
In Tian's memories, the Lin family was in glory at that time. It is also accompanied by countless crises.
My father's position as Marquis of Zhennan was won in a battle, so even if someone in the court was dissatisfied, they would not dare to do anything blatantly to the Lin family.
But since my mother was summoned alone by the queen, my father's political opponents in the court began to make trouble.
Fortunately, at that time, His Majesty was still protecting his father, and even though he was hampered at every turn, there was no big criticism.
"Later, the Marquis once again won a great victory. Those people were gagged and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. But many accidents happened one after another in our house. Also at that time, someone was poisoned to death The young master’s wet nurse. But my wife and I both know that she died for the young master.”
Tian's eyes were full of tears.
She and Lin Nansheng's wet nurse came into the house together. Originally, they took turns breastfeeding the young master.
But that poor woman's child died before she entered the house.
The lady took pity on the older girl, so she gave her twice as much as her salary.
And because she was down-to-earth, hard-working and loyal, she was also left in the Lin Mansion.
Who knew that one night, when she woke up as usual to check on the young master, she saw the older girl bleeding from all her orifices.
She hurriedly found someone to treat her, but unfortunately there was no way to save her.
But before she died, the woman still held the young master tightly in her arms and did not suffer any harm.
It was also because of this incident that the madam and she realized that someone wanted to do harm to the young master.
"Ordinarily, my parents would never let something like this happen, unless they knew who this person was and were unable to fight back for the time being."
Lin Mengya understood her parents' feelings for their brother and sister best. Her mother risked her life for them, and her father could abandon everything for them.
Although their status is prominent, they are actually just the most ordinary pair of parents.
No parent would watch their child being violated without resisting at all.
Even if the people they face are far beyond their capabilities.
"That's right, from that time on, Mr. Marquis went out early and came back late. Until you were born, he was busy with something. Although the wife will be raised at home, she has to handle everything personally before she can rest assured. We are careful to guard against it. , at last the young master did not have any accidents with you. But a few days before you were born, the lady was frowning all day long. In the end, she left everyone, including the guards assigned to her by the Marquis, and went alone except for one trip. The door. When she came back, it seemed that all the burdens were lifted. Then she said many strange things to me, saying that she wanted to entrust your brother and your unborn self to me. She also said it was not harmful to her body. This method made me your wet nurse again. Because the lady said that she can’t trust anyone but me."
No one had ever told her this matter in detail.
However, from Tian's description, she could infer a lot of things.
At that time, my father must have been under pressure from both the emperor and the empress.
He leaves early and comes back late probably to ask for help from his colleagues.
It must have been from that time on that there was a rift between my father and His Majesty.
It's just that because of the mother's death, all the forces are no longer ready to move, and there is an illusion of relaxation.
What she didn't expect was that today, more than ten years later, she would be stirred up again.
"Did mother tell me who the person was who wanted to harm me and my brother?"
Lin Mengya already had the answer in her heart, but she just wanted to get confirmation from Tian's mouth.
"I asked Madam before, but she didn't say it clearly. She just told me when she was in danger, let me be careful about people from the royal family. If possible, let me watch you all my life and never have anything to do with the royal family. .”
Tian's face was full of bitterness, probably because he felt guilty because he had not fulfilled his promise to his old master.
Lin Mengya stared at Tian's face, her eyes gradually changed from confusion to certainty.
"Mother Tian, do you have an old friend named Fang Gu?"
Fang Gu was the old person she met who had served her mother when she was in Lintian Kingdom.
However, due to her momentary negligence, she died tragically at the hands of the enemy.
She has never forgotten, and she will never let go of anyone who has hurt the people she cares about.
Tian's expression was shaken, and it was obvious that he was barely able to keep the expression on his face from collapsing, but it was enough to completely confirm Lin Mengya's suspicions.
"Miss...how did the lady know about Qinggu? She...are they okay?"
With a slight sigh, Lin Mengya lowered her eyes.
How could she say that Fang Gu died tragically for herself
After thinking for a long time, he said:
"I met Qinggu in Lintian, but after that, she was killed for no reason because of me. I think if my mother was here, she would definitely protect the people around her."
In Lin Mengya's heart, she felt deeply sorry for Fang Gu.
When her mother left Lintian's palace, she must have made proper arrangements for the people around her.
Just like when she went to find the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass with the determination to die, she actually arranged a way out for everyone in her family.
If she hadn't mistakenly entered the gambling house and hadn't asked about her mother's affairs, maybe Fanggu would still be happily being the proprietress of her gambling house.
"Oh, I don't know where all the old people from back then are. Miss, you don't have to blame yourself. In fact, after I was sent out from the palace, I found Tian Ning's father and got married, and we stayed anonymous. If it hadn't been for our village later. There is a famine here, and I will not bring Ning'er to join the princess. All of this is fate. Our lives are born for the princess. If one day we die for the princess, it will be considered a well-deserved death. After all, if we didn't have it in the first place, If it were the princess, we wouldn’t be alive today.”
Now that Lin Mengya had guessed it, Tian no longer covered up many things.
In fact, Lin Mengya also accidentally remembered that Tian once said that she could not read a single Chinese character.
But the conversation that Tian Tian's mother inadvertently revealed was not something that an ordinary peasant woman could say.
Besides, if the Tian family is really that simple, how could it be possible that after three years of mediation under Shangguan Qing's power, he could still lay a secret escape route for her and her brother in the house, so that they would not be completely blocked by Shangguan Qing? .
Thinking about it now, it can only show that Mr. Tian is really not a simple person.
On rare occasions, Lin Mengya would listen to people around her mother mention what happened to her mother back then.
Although her body was very tired, her spirit was becoming more and more active.
Until later, Baiji lay in the corner and fell asleep.
She and Tian were still talking about the past.
There was a reason why my mother left the palace, and even these confidants and maids did not know this reason.
But Tian said that the secret was related to the royal family of Lintian Kingdom.
When my mother ran away, she was actually looking for something.
My uncle also said that the Zuo clan has an inescapable fate.
So Lin Mengya thought that her mother should have come from Lintian Kingdom to find a way to get rid of the curse.
Only later, either because she was not found or something happened, did she become the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan and never return to her homeland.
Lin Mengya also found out some things clearly through Tian.
For example, how did my mother and father meet in the first place, and how they were secretly persecuted by those people.
Under all circumstances, the image of mother in Lin Mengya's heart became clearer and more natural.
Her mother was not the saint she had imagined before. She was also an ordinary woman who would sacrifice for love and her children.
The transformation from god to human does not detract from the image of the mother.
On the contrary, Lin Mengya felt that her mother was closer to her.
Moreover, she finally understood why so many people said she looked so much like her mother.
Not only the appearance, but also the similarity in personality.
Some things are really wonderful, even if they don't live together, even if she is forced to live in another time and space.
But some inheritances, still followed by blood and family ties, were engraved in her bones and left a mark deep in her soul.
"There is only one thing I don't understand now. With my mother's medical skills, how could there be no antidote to the poison she was poisoned with? They all said that my mother was willing, but you also said that my mother loved us very much. She also loves her father very much. In this case, how could she be so cruel and choose to abandon us? "
The ants are still living in vain, not to mention that the mother has already noticed that someone wants to do harm to her children. How could she go away and push her children into the pit
A trace of hatred suddenly appeared on Tian's face, and a different kind of cold light burst out from his eyes.
"Hmph, I have to ask Mrs. Qing about all this. At first, she admired the Marquis and tried every means to get close to the madam, but the madam had long seen through her true face, so she was always wary of her. And one day , but Mrs. Qing took a letter and gave it to Madam. Others didn’t know it, but I knew it clearly. It was this letter that drove Madam to death, and it was Madam Qing and the Queen who forced my princess to drink the poison. !”
Lin Mengya's face darkened as she clenched her little hands into fists.
Sure enough! But the content of this letter was really weird, and it actually forced the mother to die to save her children.
It seemed that she had to find out the contents of this letter.
Queen, Shangguan Qing, hum, just wait and see!
