Chapter 49 Figured it out
Lin Yue looked guilty. If she hadn't gotten into the horns of her own horn and said something cheap about the door of your Li family, Mrs. Li wouldn't be in a hurry.
Now that I think about it, it’s pretty ridiculous. In the past, I didn’t like the way of crying, making trouble, and hanging myself. It wasn’t a lady’s work, but I ended up doing the same thing, making people laugh at the Lin family’s poor upbringing.
"Didn't you admit that you were wrong? If you don't correct it in the future, you will get it. I also made mistakes and was beaten. Who will never make mistakes in their life, so be afraid, be thick-skinned."
Li Yu winked at her, and took out his purse to hand her the snacks he treasured and didn't want to finish.
"I'll give you snacks and pickled plums. If you eat something sweet, you won't feel bitter. You have to look forward, and life will always get better."
Lin Yue ate sweet and sour plums, tears slowly falling down, crying silently.
Li Yu looked at her, this time she didn't laugh at her, she didn't feel disgusted either, she was lonely after losing her family, and no one else could replace the pain in her heart.
In contrast, she still has her parents and brothers, but Lin Yue really has nothing left. She has no other way to go except relying on her aunt. It is not wrong to want to marry Gu Lei and have a family.
“There are no shortcuts in life.”
"I'm not as good as you..."
"It was forced out. When I entered the palace when I was eight years old and saw the late emperor, I quickly said that I also drank wine, which aroused the suspicion of the late emperor. The maid knocked over a luminous cup, but said I knocked it over. .”
"ah."
Lin Yue was attracted by her story, she blinked her teary eyes, and there were crystal teardrops hanging on her slender eyelashes.
Li Yu leaned against the car window, and calmly narrated, "The imperial concubine turned her face on the spot, my second uncle was dragged out to beat the board, my mother's head was smashed, and I was slapped by the palace officials..."
She lowered her head, with deep pain hidden in her eyes.
"This...how is it so unreasonable, this is framed!"
Lin Yue was also stunned, a little outraged.
"Whether it is the truth or not is not important, what is important is that the emperor says you are wrong and you are wrong."
Li Yu raised his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I had a high fever that night when I got home. Since then, I have understood the emperor's mind, and understood the responsibilities of the eldest daughter."
Lin Yue was silent. An eight-year-old girl, she might have been frightened to death.
"My mother married into the Li family as the clan wife, far away from her parents and elders, and had no relatives or reasons. She relied on herself to show her strengths and won the support and affirmation of the Li family. Apart from my father and relatives, how could outsiders understand her? bitterness."
"My mother has been far away from her parents for these years, and she can only go back to see if she looks for opportunities during the New Year. Do you think she will miss her parents and her hometown? The responsibility on the body is to prepare for the family to sacrifice their own life."
"Every year at the palace banquet, my mother and my grandmother are the hardest. In the summer, they sweat profusely, and in the winter, their feet are numb. "
Lin Yue listened quietly without interrupting her.
"When entering the palace, one must dress neatly and elegantly. Clothes and jewelry must conform to the regulations. You can't make any mistakes. If you make a mistake, it will bring bad luck to the men in the family. You can't eat and drink too much. You almost enter the palace hungry, for fear of causing trouble when you go out."
"It was even worse when she was crying. My grandmother passed away not long after. She was crying for the first noble concubine in winter. She suffered from the wind and cold, which caused the old disease to come back violently. She couldn't be rescued."
Li Yu raised his head and sighed, "Do you know that crying spirits are really cold in winter, and the cold wind blows down the knees, and you have to cry several times a day. Tears are streaming down, I will be blind if I cry for a day, the crying spirit must see the tears, and people will catch me if I am not sincere, and I will definitely die."
Lin Yue became more silent and lowered her head. She never knew that the married woman had to bear so much grievance and bitterness.
"Lin Yue, did your aunt tell you these things? Did you take care of them?"
"I…"
Li Yu choked up, raised his head and took a deep breath, forcing back the tears.
"The descendants enjoy the rights and glory, and have the best resources. When it's time to sacrifice, we have no qualifications and no reason to back down. The concubines and offshoots can leave first, but the descendants can't. We must stick to it until the end to fight for our clansman's life." time."
"Even your aunt can only stay behind until the end. The descendants of the Gu family are all dead. This is the price that must be paid for wealth and glory, do you understand?"
Li Yu looked at her with powerful words and firm and calm eyes.
Lin Yue's tears fell down one by one.
"I'm sorry, I'm so selfish...I'm a white-eyed wolf..."
"Your aunt is really doing it for you. Don't make things difficult for her. We are going to Linqi, which is a place where the powerful people gather. Even my family may not be seen by the powerful. Be careful what you say and do, otherwise the Gu family will be punished." Stepped into the dust, there is always a shortage of people who use it to make use of it."
"Thanks, why did you...help me."
Lin Yue looked up at her, wiped away her tears, and there was more gratitude in her eyes.
"Anyway, we have experienced life and death together. I don't like your temper, but I don't want to hurt you. We are both fallen people."
Li Yu smiled at her and left.
In the final analysis, Lin Yue is a poor little girl. She made mistakes, but her crimes are not culpable to death. She is lonely, anxious, sensitive and thoughtful, which is actually understandable.
"Li Yu, thank you!"
I lost to you...I'm convinced.
Lin Yue covered her mouth and cried with red eye circles.
Li Yu didn't look back, but just waved his hands.
Lin Yue sat in the carriage, eating fried goods and snacks, and wiped away tears fiercely.
I got out of the carriage when I was full, went around to pick up some firewood and sent it to the chef, and took my and everyone's dirty clothes to the river to wash.
"What did you say to her, it seems sensible."
Gu Lei was quite surprised.
Li Yubai glanced at him, "She suddenly lost her loved ones and became an orphan. She changed from a wealthy official to a refugee. There must be a process of acceptance. Some people quickly accept the reality and cheer up, while others are weak and slow to react. She just can't accept it." Realistic, trying to cling to the only driftwood."
Gu Lei did not speak.
"Growth has a price. She needs to face the suffering of life alone. Give her some time. She is not a bad person."
Li Yu said with a smile that she is in the same convoy, and she will still live in Gu's family for a period of time in the future, so she can't be strangled to death, she has to be persuaded and taught.
Refugee Xu Yang can be adopted, why can't Lin Yue help him.
"You still have a kind heart, I hope she accepts your kindness."
"I don't need her to take my favor. The most important thing is for everyone to be harmonious in a team. Wouldn't it be nice to have three fights every day? When you go to Linqi, it's like this. Does it spread out to make you look good?"
"I see."
Gu Lei let out a groan, and he was subdued.
This young master is also stubborn. Apart from Li Yu and his own family, he has never been soft on anyone else.
Li Yu smiled and didn't say any more, too much was too late.
