"Uncle Li, you used to be an old servant of Du's house. I want to ask you something." Early in the morning, the old housekeeper came to bring her ginger soup. Du Yunrou stopped him. She was sure that Uncle Li must know something.
Yesterday, both he and Wei Zi mentioned the word "Du Family", which made Du Yunrou think about it all night. She always felt that there was something in it that she didn't know.
"Miss, please speak." The old housekeeper bowed.
She pursed her lips and considered, "What was the relationship between Du Zhai and Wei Zhai...in the past?"
"Crack!" The old butler's hand holding the bowl shook, and he almost dropped the bowl to the ground.
Du Yunrou looked at his unusual behavior and felt that there must be something she didn't know. She stared at him more closely: "Uncle Li, I am the only daughter of the Du family, and now I am married to the Wei family. If you
If you know something, you should tell me."
After being silent for a while, the old housekeeper slowly sighed: "The masters of the Du and Wei families were originally brothers who had become brothers. The two families almost took over all the rice shop business in the capital. But about twenty years ago
, something went wrong with a batch of tribute grains. Although it will not kill the nine tribes, it is still a serious crime of beheading. I heard that Mr. Du put all the blame on the Wei family in order to protect himself..." Du Yunrou was already pale.
His face turned even paler: "Then..."
The old housekeeper shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Wei was arrested and beheaded by the government, and Mrs. Wei also died in the execution ground. Although the Du family was spared, the business also plummeted. After that, within a few years...
…”
The family fell into decline, and her father died of illness at home due to years of depression... Of course, Du Yunrou knew these subsequent events very well.
When she was young, she never understood why her father was so depressed all day long, but today... she finally understood.
My father must be guilty.
He felt guilty towards the Wei family, but he could not let her marry into the Wei family because he knew that none of the Wei sons would treat her well.
Du Yunrou smiled silently with a pale face. She still remembered her father's shock and anger when she confessed her feelings to her father for the first time many years ago. He lost his biggest temper in history. He told her: "You can't marry anyone else."
A boy from the Wei family!"
That's it, that's it...
"Miss..." The old housekeeper looked at her worriedly.
"Uncle Li, please go out." Du Yunrou closed her eyes and said tiredly. The old housekeeper sighed again and had no choice but to nod and close the door for her.
She was alone in the room again, and the air was cold. Du Yunrou couldn't help but cough a few more times.
"you like me?"
"Okay, when I become successful, I will propose marriage to your parents."
…
The past events came to mind one after another. Things that she couldn't understand before were all figured out. She just didn't think about it. The answer turned out to be so ironic. She smiled bitterly, Wei Zidu, he was afraid it was true.
I've never loved her, so maybe I wanted to marry her just to get revenge on her.
He never really thought about marrying her, it was just her stupidity and wishful thinking.
But how could this happen...
She married with true love, how could it become like this...
Du Yunrou, look, fate is so unfair. Even if you want something so simple, it still won't give it to you.
She leaned on the bed, unable to take away the sarcasm on her lips. Wei Zi once asked her what she wanted. All she wanted was to be by his side. Could he give it to her...
He can't give it, he hates her...
He hates her!
"Cough cough cough...!" Du Yunrou coughed violently, and her abdomen tore open with pain like a knife as her body rose and fell.
No, my father is not that kind of person!
Du Yunrou regained consciousness.
There must be some misunderstanding in this. Although my father is a businessman, he has an upright character and is definitely not someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death! It is absolutely impossible for my father to blame all the crimes on his brother in order to escape himself.
!
She got out of bed, put on her coat with difficulty, and held on to the corner to go out.
When I opened the door, there was a man standing at the door.
This man is tall and strong with a strong aura. He is Qin Yuan.
"...Mrs. Wei." He didn't seem to expect that she would open the door suddenly, and was stunned for a moment. The original hesitation on his face had not had time to dissipate.
"General Qin." Du Yunrou was also startled for a moment, then she held the door panel and rushed to him to say, "General Qin, is there something wrong?"
He suddenly took two quick steps back, with a guilty expression on his face. He even stuttered when he opened his mouth: "No, it's okay."
Xu Shi realized that his guilty conscience was too obvious, so he straightened his expression and changed the subject: "Is Mrs. Wei going out?"
Du Yunrou smiled bitterly: "I was just about to go back to Du's house to take a look. When General Wei stopped me, I remembered that Du's house had been sold by me."
At that moment, all she could think about was returning to Du's house, where her father might leave something, but now she thought about it, Du's house had been sold to someone else, how could they let her go rummaging through the house?!
"General Qin, come in." Realizing that it was inappropriate to block people at the door, she gave way, sat down at the table, and poured tea for him.
Qin Yuan seemed a little uncomfortable, and the hand holding the tea cup felt unnatural.
Du Yunrou didn't take his abnormality to heart, she only cared about her own affairs: "A civilian woman is brave and wants to ask the general, how much do you know about the Wei family's past affairs?"
She thought that Qin Yuan was a great general and might know something about these old events.
Qin Yuan held the hand of the teacup for a moment and looked at her with complicated eyes: "Mrs. Wei...do you know everything?" He was referring to why Wei Zidu hated her so much. Du Yunrou narrowed his eyes: "It turns out that General
all know."
That's right, Wei Zi has always admired Qin Yuan, maybe he told Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan became even more unnatural. After coughing dryly, he said: "I don't know much about the affairs of your two families back then. Qin has been fighting abroad for many years, so he doesn't know much about the affairs in the capital."
Du Yunrou nodded, already convinced that Wei Zi had told him this matter, because there was no need for Qin Yuan to lie to her.
Both of them fell silent. Qin Yuan turned the cup in his hand, looked at her bloodless face, and hesitated before speaking: "Please forgive Qin for being rude, does Mrs. Wei...do you have any plans to remarry?"
?”
Du Yunrou was stunned and looked at him.
Qin Yuan coughed again and looked away unnaturally.
Only then did she react and smiled bitterly: "Is General Qin acting as a lobbyist on behalf of the guards?"
How much does her husband hate her and try every means to drive her away? It's hard for Qin Yuan, a grown man, to come and take care of other people's family affairs...
"Ah, no, I am..." Qin Yuan was shocked to realize that she had misunderstood, and quickly wanted to explain, but was cut off by Du Yunrou.
"General, let's go. The civilian woman is a little tired." She turned cold.
"Okay." Qin Yuan also knew that it was inappropriate to ask such a question, so he had no choice but to stand up: "There is one more thing. I need to tell Mrs. Wei that Zidu's leg should be saved. Qin will take him to the palace for Chinese medicine today.
Treatment may take a while, but I hope Mrs. Wei can be at ease."
Wei Zi can still stand up?!
Although she was heartbroken by him, Du Yunrou was still overjoyed when she heard the news: "How long will it take?" "It can be as fast as two or three months, or as slowly as less than half a year." Qin Yuan said.
"Then I'll thank the general." Du Yunrou stood up and gave him a blessing.
Qin Yuan's expression changed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but unfortunately he didn't say it in the end. He looked at her deeply and left.
