Qin Hanzhen swore that when she decided to stay and eavesdrop on the conversation between Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying, she really just wanted to know more about her cousin's thoughts, purely out of concern for him. She never expected that what she would eventually hear

, it turned out to be such a...slightly sad bloody story.

His mother, Guan Rongniang, and Wu Shaoying are cousins. Wu Shaoying's parents died when he was young, and his family property was misappropriated by his clan, so he could only go to his aunt, Mrs. Guan, and grow up in the Guan family. Because of his good academic performance, he was able to study in the Qin family's school. His cousin Guan

Rong

His mother fell in love with him, and perhaps they had made an agreement that when Wu Shaoying got the honors, she would formally propose marriage to her aunt and uncle. But before that, Wu Shaoying, who had nothing, did not dare to reveal her wishes to the old scholar Guan couple who were kind to her.

Guan Rongniang cared about Wu Shaoying's daily life and often went to school to bring him food, clothing and clothing. This led to her meeting Qin Ping, Qin's eldest son. Qin Ping was attracted by Guan Rongniang and asked his mother Niu to come forward and propose marriage to the Guan family. Guan Laoxiucai admired him the most in his life.

The one he admired the most was Qin Bai, a famous scholar in Mizhi County. When he learned that Qin Bai wanted to marry his family, how could he not agree? He agreed to the marriage without even discussing it with his family.

By the time Guan Rongniang and Wu Shaoying found out, it was already too late. Wu Shaoying was studying in the Qin family. If she ruined the marriage of Qin's eldest son, she might lose the opportunity to study and also make Guan Laoxiucai angry. At that time, Wu Shaoying was homeless.

Long things, but nothing

He relied entirely on the Guan family to survive, and he also relied on the Qin family's teachings to help him gain fame and improve his life situation. Guan Rongniang did not dare to take risks for fear of affecting Wu Shaoying's future. When Qin Ping came to ask, she concealed herself

Sincerely, I agreed to marry the latter.

Wu Shaoying could do nothing about it. Shortly after her sweetheart's cousin got married, she obtained the title of scholar, left the Qin family school, and went to Xi'an to study. After that, she did not return for many years until she heard the news that Guan Rongniang was "widowed".

As for Guan Rongniang, after they got married, the couple lived together for a long time, and some of their thoughts could not be hidden. Qin Ping realized that Guan Rongniang loved someone else, and when he questioned her, he couldn't get an answer, so he left home and stayed in the border area angrily.

, spending less time together with his wife and more separation. Later, news came from Yulin Pass that he had been killed in battle. Guan Rongniang could still calmly preside over the funeral and take care of her mother-in-law and daughter, until He arrived with her children, causing the subsequent turmoil...

All of this was a mistake. If Qin Ping had not fallen in love with Guan Rongniang and directly proposed marriage to her father; if the old scholar Guan had not respected Qin Bai so much and wanted to marry the Qin family; if Guan Rongniang had not been too worried

Wu Shaoying does not dare to take the risk of telling her true thoughts about her future; if Wu Shaoying can have more courage and confess the truth to the Qin family...

But there are no ifs in the world. Wu Shaoying and Guan Rongniang have already missed each other, but Qin Ping and Guan Rongniang have become bitter couples again. If He had not interfered, maybe they would have reconciled one day. But now it is meaningless to talk about it, because

Guan Rongniang is dead.

Qin Hanzhen's mood became a little depressed. She noticed that Zhao Mo seemed to be approaching her quietly, and stretched out his hand to pat her shoulder gently, as if to comfort her. She smiled bitterly, turned her head and moved closer to him.

A breathy voice whispered in her ear: "Let's go." She didn't want to hear it anymore.

Zhao Mo seemed to be stunned for a moment and did not react. Another voice came from the window sill.

The person who spoke this time was Wu Shaoying. His voice was a bit bitter: "When I was a boy... I did have an admiration for my cousin, but I always followed the etiquette with her and never crossed the line. I am not tall.

I didn't dare to confess my thoughts to my uncle and aunt before I passed the exam. I could only swear secretly that when I passed the exam, I would tell my aunt my feelings. No matter whether I succeeded or not, my aunt would not be annoyed.

It’s just that before the county examination, the Qin family had already proposed marriage. My uncle was overjoyed. Even though my cousin and I had revealed the truth to my aunt, my aunt refused to dissuade my uncle. I know that all this is because of me.

It's useless. Cousin-in-law, I don't blame you. Even without you at that time, my uncle had already planned to marry my cousin to another famous family. He never considered me. In comparison, I am more

I'm glad that my cousin is marrying you, because you...and the teacher and my wife are all decent, generous and kind-hearted people. My cousin will not endure hardship if she marries you."

Wu Shaoying took a deep breath and lowered her voice: "I don't know what my cousin once said to you. When I left Mizhi, I met her. She encouraged me to get a degree and get ahead.

I also agreed, promising that I would never let her down. But these words were a promise made to my sister as a younger brother, and had nothing to do with any personal relationship. From the day my cousin married into the Qin family, I never had any feelings for her again.

It's too delusional. Holding such thoughts is not only an insult to my cousin, but also disrespectful to the teacher's family. How dare I?"

Qin Ping sighed: "But she has never forgotten you. It can be seen that... I did not do a good enough job and failed to make her feel happy, so she..."

"I believe that my cousin has more of a sibling relationship with me." Wu Shaoying interrupted him, "Really. After hearing the news of my cousin's husband's death, I rushed to Qin's house to pay my respects. I saw my cousin's death with my own eyes.

I also talked to her. She was really sad... She almost collapsed at that time. Not only because of you, cousin-in-law, but also because of Han Zhen... She would be forced to die by He, and my reputation was not the same as mine.

The future may have had an impact on her, but the misunderstanding and scolding from her uncle, aunt, and Yunniang's cousin, as well as the fact that Han Zhen was seriously injured and about to die, were the real reasons that made her sad and desperate."

Wu Shaoying told Qin Ping the various reactions of the Guan family on the death of Guan Rongniang. In the past, out of the desire to cover up their relatives, Qin Bai and Niu did not tell Qin Ping too much inside information. After all, the old scholar Guan had already

After dying of guilt, the Qin family moved back to the capital and rarely had the chance to meet the Guan family. Why should they let their son hate the Yue family? Wu Shaoying had the same idea, but now she feels that there is no need to hide these things anymore.

Already.

Sometimes it was hard for him to believe why Xiucai Guan was so harsh to his eldest daughter and regretted it when she died? Why would his aunt, Mrs. Guan, ignore the pain in her eldest daughter's heart for some selfish reasons? Why did Guan Yunniang

He would feel jealous of his eldest sister, and would not hesitate to slander her in front of his father... They were obviously close relatives of Guan Rongniang, but they stabbed her the hardest.

Qin Ping sat on the chair, with a complicated expression on his face.

Wu Shaoying said to him calmly: "Although there are all these reasons, my cousin should not be too resentful to my aunt and uncle. My uncle only died a few days later than my cousin, and Yun Niang was also rejected by the family. My aunt regrets it now and will spend the rest of her life

It's inevitable to feel sad. After all, it's Han Zhen's mother-in-law, and they didn't mean it... Besides, I always feel that Han Zhen's injury is the reason why my cousin really wants to die. She has always regarded her daughter as her lifeblood.

, how can you watch your own flesh and blood die? But at that time, Hanzhen was already breathing out too much and not breathing in enough, and he could die at any time. It happened to be your 100-day festival, and the whole family was doing something in the lower courtyard.

, there were only two of them, mother and daughter, in the Upper House. My cousin probably felt that it was the best time for her to seek death. If she missed it, it would be difficult to find such an undisturbed opportunity. To be honest, I was wrong too. When I heard that they

Mother and daughter are alone in the upper courtyard, and when no one else is around, they should be alert. It's my fault that I was too careless and forgot to ask someone to check on them. Otherwise, maybe my cousin would have been saved."

"You don't have to say anymore." Qin Ping said in a hoarse voice, "It's my fault after all. If I hadn't trusted the wrong person and forgot to entrust one more person to deliver the message home, none of this would have happened."

Wu Shaoying said: "How can this be the cousin's husband's responsibility? In the final analysis, it is all He's fault. If she didn't have evil intentions, or my cousin misunderstood that something really happened to you, it's just a few sad things."

Yue. When Qin’s family recognizes you in the capital and sends his servants to Mizhi County to report the news, everything will naturally come to light. So, if we want to hate, let’s hate the He family, and let the He family do what he did.

Zhao Qi is such a reckless person."

Qin Ping said: "The He family is dead. Zhao Qi has also lost power a long time ago. He will not end well." He looked at Wu Shaoying, "The fire on Zhao Qi Zhuangzi is actually a bit weird. The He family has obviously been injured.

She is so heavy that she can't move, so how can she still have the strength to light a candle? She is alone, so what does she want to do by lighting a candle?"

Wu Shaoying smiled: "Who knows? Maybe after she regained her breath, she had the strength to check her injuries, right? I think God has eyes, but I can't see her being arrogant anymore." He stopped smiling and said solemnly.

He said to Qin Ping, "Cousin-in-law, although He is the culprit, if I hadn't stayed at the Qin family that day, which gave He the opportunity to use me to frame my cousin, maybe my cousin wouldn't have...

"

Qin Ping interrupted him: "You just said that the He family is the culprit. The words and deeds of the Guan family and Han Zhen's serious injury are the real reasons for Rong Niang's despair. What responsibility do you have here? You

Repeatedly taking the blame on yourself would be a suspicion of self-contradiction."

Wu Shaoying's expression was a little uncomfortable: "In short, I have been very sad that I could not rescue my cousin that day. I often think in my heart, if I had been smarter at that time, maybe my cousin would not have died, and Hanzhen would not have suffered the pain of losing her mother.

.My cousin has always been very kind to me. Putting aside the delusions I had when I was a teenager, she is truly the best person in the Guan family to me. After she passed away, I only hope to do more for her husband and daughter.

Something. Otherwise, I will always feel guilty."

Qin Ping sighed: "You often advise me to be more open-minded and not always thinking about your cousin's death. In fact, you are not like this? Now that you and I have spoken out, I might as well speak frankly to you. You and Rong

Mother, I didn’t know about it before. If I had known about it earlier, I would definitely not have proposed marriage to the Guan family. It was me who missed you. Saying these words now may have no meaning, but I can’t compensate Rong Niang, but I hope I can.

You. You don’t need to worry about me and Hanzhen. I will take good care of the child and prevent her from being wronged. And you...since you have fulfilled your promise to Rong Niang and passed the Jinshi examination, how can you not continue to fulfill it?

What about the second half of the promise, to get ahead? Don’t you think that as long as you pass the Jinshi exam and take revenge, there is nothing else to do? If Rong Niang’s spirit in heaven knew about it, I’m afraid she would scold you.

of."

Wu Shaoying smiled bitterly and covered her face with her hands: "My cousin does scold me... She hates my worthless look the most..."

Qin Ping stood up, walked to him, reached out and pressed his shoulder: "Shaoying, I will let you go, please let yourself go."

Qin Hanzhen pushed Zhao Mo gently under the window sill, and the two of them tiptoed out of the corridor and left the outer study. Zhao Mo pulled Qin Hanzhen into his yard, and by the light of the lantern on the corridor, he saw her face

Full of tears, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Cousin?"

Qin Hanzhen stretched out his hand and wiped his face: "I'm fine."
