Xu Yaoyue prayed for her grandmother in the temple, and her life was very poor. Every day, she faces the sky with plain face and wears simple clothes. Simple tea and light meals, two meals a day.
But this is what she asked for. She wanted to marry Qin Jinye, so she had to give up some things. Therefore, although it is bitter, it is sweet.
She lived in the temple, and occasionally Qin Jinye would visit her, which was one of the few sweet moments for Xu Yaoyue. He came to see her once, and it always made her happy for a long time.
In addition to praying for her grandmother, she would also sincerely pray for Qin Jinye, wishing him good health, all the best and no worries.
Sometimes I think about my sister.
At this time, she is always full of struggle and bitter taste. It stands to reason that she should pray for her sister, and pray to the Buddha to bless her to get better. but…
After suffering for a long time, she was finally unable to completely ignorant of her conscience. Every time I finished praying for Qin Jinye, I would pray for my sister. I hope my sister will have a good pregnancy in her next life, have a healthy body, and live a happy life.
In this way, she lived in the temple for one day, two days, one month, two months, one year, two years.
She spent her seventeen and eighteen years.
The beautiful years, passing by little by little, are wasted where no one sees them. Although at her request, Qin Jinye would accompany her on her birthday, and even serve her longevity noodles. But sweetness is always short-lived, and she spent more than 700 days and nights alone.
As the waiting days got longer and longer, Xu Yaoyue gradually became a little dazed and began to wonder if she was wrong
If she wasn't obsessed with him, she would be married by now like the other sisters.
A husband who is by my side every day should have a child, and the child may be able to walk.
She should live a life of being a husband and a child. Rather than now, suffering in front of the Buddha every day.
But she didn't dare to regret it, because she had no way out. Although it cannot be said that everyone knows about her and Qin Jinye's affairs, in the Xu Mansion, it is almost the same, and everyone who is sensible knows about it.
The sisters had already ignored her. It's a good thing that she lives in the temple, at least she doesn't have to face some strange eyes and words.
On this day, it was raining lightly.
Xu Yaoyue knelt in front of the Buddha, closed her eyes and recited scriptures, praying for Qin Jinye and her sister.
She even sincerely promised to share half of her blessings in the next life with her sister, hoping that her sister would see her for her sincerity...
"Yue'er." A low voice came to Xu Yaoyue's ears through the rustling rain.
The voice of chanting scriptures paused, and she turned her head suddenly, only to see a tall figure standing outside the hall, so familiar and reassuring.
She couldn't help but her eyes lit up: "You're here!"
He got up in a hurry and ran towards him.
The two hugged tightly.
"Miss me?" The man hugged the soft body in his arms, and whispered to her ear.
Xu Yaoyue's ears warmed up, her face flushed slightly, her heart felt a little sweet, and at the same time felt a little bit of grievance.
How can you miss him? She misses him every day, opens her eyes and misses him, closes her eyes and recites scriptures, misses him when she eats, misses him when she rests, and misses him all the time.
But what about thinking about him? I can't see him all the time, and I serve the Buddha all day long, so I am not lonely.
"I miss you very much." Seeing that she didn't answer, Qin Jinye said in a low voice.
Xu Yaoyue's heart softened, her grievance dissipated a little, she bit her lower lip lightly, and hugged him harder.
"Want to be with me?" Qin Jinye asked again.
It's really annoying, Xu Yaoyue thought, why did he ask her such a thing? Is there a second answer
Instead of answering him, she pinched the back of his waist.
Qin Jinye didn't move. Hugging her for a long time, he said the result he got from Xu Mansion before coming: "Will Yue'er be my concubine?"
Xu Yaoyue was taken aback for a moment, suspecting that she had hallucinations: "What?"
"Miss Xu Wu is dead." Qin Jinye felt a slight pain in his heart, and kissed her cheek with pity and compassion, "You are a girl from the Xu family of the farmer. Marry me as a concubine."
He spoke slowly and clearly, one word after another, like poisonous insects one after another, burrowed into Xu Yaoyue's ears one after another.
She clearly heard it, but it seemed that thunder was exploding in her ears, so she couldn't hear a word clearly.
Eyes widened unconsciously, without blinking, full of disbelief.
She stiffened her body, slowly withdrew from his arms, and looked up at him. The delicate lips like flowers opened and closed, as if to ask him something, but lost his voice.
Qin Jinye frowned in pain, grasped the back of her head, and pressed her cheek to his chest: "I'm sorry!"
It was all his fault that she was wronged like this.
"I'm sorry for you." His voice was trembling with pain.
He hates it too!
However, Mr. Xu does not allow the daughter of the Xu family to be a concubine, nor do the other families.
Not to mention that prostitute daughters cannot be concubines, none of the concubine daughters of the Xu family were concubines, and most of them were married to impoverished students from ordinary backgrounds, but who were exceptionally motivated, and now they all have a clear name.
If the daughter-in-law of the family is allowed to be a concubine, will the Xu family lose face? Does the married daughter still have face? Girls in the boudoir, how do you talk about marriage
If Qin Jinye is a powerful minister, then that's fine, they have to risk their face and earn a fortune. But Qin Jinye now... don't mention it!
Xu Yaoyue's cheek was pressed against the man's chest, and the silky cloth was tightly attached to her face, and the warmth of the man's body could be heard.
Her eyes were wide open, tears slipped down her eyes unconsciously, and quickly wet the silky fabric.
Her face was full of disbelief, she actually wanted to be a concubine? Besides, it's no longer Miss Xu Wu? Who is she then? What girl from the Xu family that I've never heard of
"no no… "
She couldn't help shaking her head.
She couldn't accept it. She was still a girl from the Xu family, the daughter of the second wife of the Xu family, not a girl from the Xu family.
Qin Jinye felt the dampness and heat in his chest, and his heart ached. He hugged her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "When she dies, I will set you up, I will definitely set you up!"
"Yue'er, trust me!"
Regardless of whether she has a son or not, he will straighten her up!
As long as Xu Lingyin dies!
Xu Yaoyue shook her head unconsciously, and her tears flowed even more fiercely. She clenched his clothes tightly with both hands, like a drowning man grabbing driftwood, her face full of panic and hopelessness.
If she was no longer the Xu family's daughter, the older sisters who had known her since she was a child would not recognize her at all, they would not pay attention to her, and if her surname was not Xu, they would not even look at her.
Uncles and aunts would not recognize her.
parents…
Xu Yaoyue remembered that after living in the temple, her mother still came to visit her at first, but then she stopped coming. If her surname is no longer Xu, are her parents still her parents? Will they still recognize her
Xu Yaoyue suddenly felt that she was the only one left in the world, she was a rootless duckweed, the world was big, Qin Jinye was the only one for her!
"No, no!!" She shook her head, her crystal tears were splashed, as if she finally found her voice, she cried loudly, "I don't want it! I'm Miss Xu Wu! I'm Xu Yaoyue!"
Qin Jinye's heart ached from her crying, his eyes were hot, and he hated and heartbroken. He hugged her tightly and said, "Yes, yes, you are Yue'er, and you will always be my Yue'er."
Because she was crying so much, Qin Jinye didn't leave that night and stayed with her all night.
The next day, he went down the mountain. For no reason, he lives in a temple, what's the matter? He came quietly.
"Xiaoping, you go, you go down the mountain immediately, go back to the mansion and ask your wife, ask my mother for me, ask her..."
With red and swollen eyes, Xu Yaoyue chased her maid Xiaoping down the mountain, but she stopped talking halfway through, and decided to go back to the house in person.
She quietly went back to the mansion without alarming others, and met the second wife, Mrs. Hu.
"Mother, I regret it." She knelt on the ground, looked at Hu with tears in her eyes and said, "I don't want to be a concubine for Lord Hou."
What do concubines do? She was originally the noble daughter of the Xu family!
Although, the sick and weak elder sister will not torment her, and Qin Jinye will protect her, but... my elder sister is a legitimate daughter, and she is also a legitimate daughter, why should my elder sister be Mrs. Hou, and she can only be a concubine? !
She is not inferior to her!
She couldn't tell whether it was regret or what, she covered her face and cried bitterly.
"You said earlier, there is still room for turning around." Hu said with a complicated expression.
Xu Yaoyue raised her head when she heard the words, and looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Mother?"
"Master Hou won't agree." Hu turned her head away and sighed.
Xu Yaoyue was stunned, and didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while. However, my heart felt as if a piece of ice had fallen, heavy and cold.
Did he not allow her to refuse? Because you love her too much? Xu Yaoyue thought wildly, feeling a little disbelieving in her heart, he loves her so much, maybe...will let her go
After hearing her naive remarks, Mrs. Hu sternly reprimanded: "What are you doing!"
Xu Yaoyue trembled in fright: "Mother?"
"You repent now, where do you want Master Hou to put his face?!" Hu's expression was extremely severe, without any softness in his eyes, every word was like a knife for cutting people, and he shot at the stupid daughter kneeling on the ground: "Do you really think that if a man loves you, he will indulge you in anything?"
Xu Yaoyue opened her mouth, but did not answer.
But she felt in her heart that Qin Jinye was a man, and he loved her so much that he would not bear to force her.
"If he is really soft-hearted, let you go, and let you marry someone else," Hu's face was cold, and the words he said were even colder, "In the future, if you live well, he will hate you."
Xu Yaoyue was taken aback.
She instinctively wanted to refute Hu, but there was a weak voice in her heart: "Maybe he wouldn't hate me at first. But what about the time? I loved him once, then fell in love with someone else, and lived happily with others Happy. Does he really not hate me?"
What does the hatred of a Hou Ye represent
She shivered suddenly!
"If you are unlucky, you are the one who suffers." Hu continued, "You might as well be Qin Jinye's concubine!"
If that's the case, she shouldn't even mention it to Qin Jinye!
"Fortunately, you still have the brains to come back and ask me." With a cold expression on her face, Hu gave the last piece of advice to her daughter, "Just pretend it didn't happen and you never came back. Go back and listen to Qin Jinye's arrangement. No matter what he arranges, you just have to follow him willingly and happily. From now on—"
She paused.
Xu Yaoyue had a premonition, walked over hurriedly, grabbed the corner of her clothes, looked up at her in panic: "Mother!"
Hu didn't look at her.
"Don't come back again!" Pulling out the corner of his clothes, Hu turned and left.
The maids blocked Xu Yaoyue's way, so she could only watch helplessly as her mother left and disappeared outside the curtain, never to be seen again.
A great panic enveloped her, accompanied by deep regret, she couldn't help crying loudly, tears gushing out like a bank: "Mother!"
"Mother!!"
"Wow." After the broadcast, Huihui let out a sigh.
Shaoyin's complexion was pale, she was lying in bed doing needlework, and was going to make a pair of purses for her eldest son and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
From the beginning to the end, there was no expression on his face: "Well."
She didn't sympathize with Xu Yaoyue.
Back then Xu Lingyin was seriously ill and was bedridden, and time was running out. Did they flirt with her in her yard, did they sympathize with her
Her condition deteriorated, and she was lying on the bed, more often in a coma than awake, they were listening to Xuetang's secret love, did they think of her
Before she died, they met at the teahouse, kissed and hugged each other, and told each other their hearts, did they consider her
Shaoyin once felt pity for Xu Yaoyue, and she took action—she asked her, what would Xu Yaoyue do if she hadn't died
Xu Yaoyue chose to wait.
She chose her own path and didn't need others' sympathy.
Qin Jinye is a man of action, not to mention that he has waited for too long, and immediately took care of this matter.
First of all, where does Xu Yaoyue live after she enters the house
She is a concubine, so she must not get past the mistress, or the censor will not be able to spare him.
But in this way, she was wronged, Qin Jinye couldn't bear it, and decided to open up several yards and expand them, as his daily work and study place, and then let Xu Yaoyue live in Tingxuetang.
In this way, she won't live in a bad place, and the two of them are close together, killing two birds with one stone.
While handling this matter, he remembered another thing, that is, there are still several aunts and Tong Fang in the house. Before Yue'er didn't come, he needed a woman by his side, but now that she's here, these people are no longer needed.
He sent away several aunts and Tongfang, and begged him to give each of them a sum of money, regardless of their crying.
Then he greeted Xu Yaoyue wholeheartedly.
However, another problem soon appeared—the two aunts who were in charge were dismissed by him, and there was no one in charge of the house, so who would handle the matter of taking concubines
"Master Hou made things difficult for me." After being arrested, Shaoyin lowered his head and covered his mouth, coughing a few times, "I'm not healthy enough, and I can't bear the fatigue."
Qin Jinye sneered, and no longer believed her words about her poor health. If she is really in poor health, can she hang herself for three years and drag Yue'er from fifteen to eighteen
"She's your sister!" The man said with a sullen face, "I leave this matter to you!"
Don't take no for an answer, throw the business on her head.
Shaoyin smiled lightly, and said to the man who turned and left: "I don't have a sister who hooked up with her brother-in-law when her sister was seriously ill."
Qin Jinye's back froze.
"Master Hou, choose someone else who is capable." She said weakly, "I can't do it. It's a small thing to miss Master Hou, and it's not good to hurt the heart of the newcomer."
Qin Jinye gritted his teeth.
The armrest of the crutch was also creaked by his rubbing.
After a long time, the man leaned on a cane and left angrily.
No one in the house took care of it, and Qin Jinye didn't understand, so after a while, it became more and more shameful, and finally let it go.
The girl from the Xu family entered the mansion quietly, just like other concubines. No, it's not even comparable to other families. Other families take concubines, so they put on a show and put on a show.
She entered quietly.
