Her forced smile made Lou Rongrong, who was looking for her full of joy, hesitate a bit, and subconsciously swallowed back the words "Your brother is still alive", not as excited as before.
She saw Lin Yao's portrait just now, and after referring to the story Lin Yue told earlier, she guessed that Lin Yao was Lin Yue's elder brother, who did not die for some reason, so she happily came to look for Lin Yue.
But she forgot that there are many people with the same name and surname in this world, and it's not just Lin Yue's elder brother named Lin Yao. If there is such a person named Lin Yao, he will be loyal to King Duan Woolen cloth?Didn't his rash actions cause another injury to Lin Yue?
Lin Yue saw that the face of Lou Rongrong, who was originally beaming with joy, slowly sank, and she was a little puzzled for a while:
"Fluffy?"
When Lou Rongrong heard this, she twitched the corners of her mouth again, and said cautiously:
"Sister Yue, I have a portrait here, I want you to see if you recognize it."
Although Lin Yue didn't know why Lou Rongrong's emotions fluctuated so much, she was still a little curious about the portrait Lou Rongrong said:
"What kind of portrait is it that you want me, a useless person who stays in my small courtyard all day, to recognize it?"
While talking like this, she took the unfolded portrait that Chun Han took out from her bosom, she only glanced at it, and before she could take a closer look, she froze in place.
Lou Rongrong said nervously:
"Sister Yue, do you recognize this person?"
Lin Yue looked at the picture scroll silently, stretched out her hand to brush the vicissitudes of the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting, the courtyard was surprisingly quiet for a moment, and could only hear the sound of the wind blowing through the corner of the courtyard, rolling up a pile of fallen leaves, and circling in the wind.
After a while, just when Lou Rongrong thought that Lin Yue might not speak again, Lin Yue suddenly spoke in an extremely firm tone:
"This is a portrait of my brother."
She looked up at Lou Rongrong with complicated eyes:
"But my brother died in battle at the age of 17, but he is at least 30 years old in this portrait. I wonder where this portrait came from?"
Lou Rongrong heard the words but did not answer, but instead asked:
"Are you sure this must be a portrait of your brother, and not someone else who resembles him?"
Lin Yue is categorical:
"I'm sure! I have a very good relationship with my brother since I was a child, and I am very familiar with him. Besides, I am not completely based on my childhood impressions, but my brother's face is different from ordinary people. I can distinguish it."
She pointed to the portrait so that Lou Rongrong could see clearly:
"Look at the portrait here. My elder brother has a mole on his brow. There is also a mole in the portrait. My elder brother has a shallow scar on his jaw. When I was young, I pestered him to climb a tree for me to catch a civet cat, but the cat jumped off by itself. The tree, he was so tired that he also fell down, the scar that was left by this happened to happen to be in the portrait, and..."
She counted the details in several portraits, and said firmly:
"If there are one or two resemblances, I may wonder if this is someone who happens to be similar to my brother, but it matches everywhere. This must be a portrait of my brother, but I don't know where it came from."
Lou Rongrong and Chunhan looked at each other, and finally thought about their words, and said to Lin Yue:
"Sister Yue, have you ever thought about it over the years? There is a possibility that your elder brother did not die in battle. He is actually still alive and well in Huai'an City."
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then said firmly:
"Impossible, if my elder brother is alive, it is absolutely impossible not to come looking for me! My elder brother loves me the most, if he is alive, if he is alive..."
Talking and talking, this strong woman who never shed a single tear when telling about her tragic past, was sobbing at this moment, unable to speak any more.
Lou Rongrong comforted her along her back, and tentatively said:
"Is there a possibility that although your elder brother didn't die in battle, he was deeply trapped in the enemy's camp. When you were struggling, he was also surrounded by tigers and wolves and full of crises."
"When he managed to fight his way out of the thousands of troops and returned to Huai'an, you had already been sold to Yangzhou by King Duan's men, and King Duan said to the outside world that you couldn't bear to be humiliated and committed suicide by jumping into the river, and you didn't even have a body. Retrieve..."
Although what she said was the truth, when Lou Rongrong opened her mouth, she still felt that the truth was cruel and desperate.
Lin Yue's beautiful eyes widened, big teardrops rolled down one by one, but her eyes were empty, her slender hands grasped Lou Rongrong, like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, She was crying almost unconsciously, not even sobbing extraneously, but anyone who saw this scene could feel the impenetrable despair.
If she had changed to Lou Rongrong, she had finally come out of the hellish experience of half her life, only to learn that salvation was only one step away from her, and she would also collapse in despair.
When she came, Lou Rongrong was full of joy, thinking of bringing a big gift to Lin Yue. After being separated for many years, she even thought that her brother who had died in battle was not dead and was still alive in the world. What a surprise it would be.
But at this moment, Lou Rongrong sincerely wanted to give a mouthful to herself who was full of joy not long ago. Her arrival almost instantly defeated Lin Yue's hard-earned perseverance under the influence of Lan Niang.
Those who rely on will always become vulnerable. A Lin Yue without an elder brother can be the respected sister Yue of Xiuyun Building calmly, but Lin Yue who knows that her elder brother is still alive is just the one who loved her every day. Xiaoyue'er whispered to the little rabbit, hoping that her elder brother could hear her.
In the end, Lin Yue cried so much that she almost collapsed, Lou Rongrong and Chun Han worked together to help Lin Yue back to the house to rest, and the two returned to the courtyard, discussing with the portrait on the stone table.
After listening for so long, Chunhan probably figured out the truth of the matter. Compared with Lou Rongrong's guilt, she found a way to break the situation and was more elated:
"I didn't expect Miss to get acquainted with Lin Yao's younger sister. In this way, there is really nowhere to go, and it doesn't take much effort to get here."
Seeing that Lou Rongrong's expression was depressed, Chunhan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of Lou Rongrong's eyes, and comforted him:
"Miss, you don't have to feel guilty. It wasn't your fault. If it was someone else, the first reaction to hear the news was to tell the person concerned. Few would have thought that this news would not only bring joy, but also happiness. Come new pain."
"You are still young, it is not easy to achieve such a level, not to mention that you are not the one who let this Sister Yue suffer humiliation, don't punish yourself with the mistakes of others, if you really feel sorry for Sister Yue, why not think about it , how to help her in the future, so that she can avenge King Duan."
Lou Rongrong finally cheered up after hearing the words:
"You're right, I have to find a way to send this news to my brothers and let them contact Lin Yao. If Lin Yao finds out that his sister is still alive and has suffered from King Duan's murderous hand, I'm afraid he will rebel on the spot. , so that King Duan can taste the evil fruit he has sown himself!"
However, after hearing her reasoning, Chun Han's face showed embarrassment.
Seeing this, Lou Rongrong asked:
"What? But what I just said, is there anything wrong?"
She saw Lin Yao's portrait just now, and after referring to the story Lin Yue told earlier, she guessed that Lin Yao was Lin Yue's elder brother, who did not die for some reason, so she happily came to look for Lin Yue.
But she forgot that there are many people with the same name and surname in this world, and it's not just Lin Yue's elder brother named Lin Yao. If there is such a person named Lin Yao, he will be loyal to King Duan Woolen cloth?Didn't his rash actions cause another injury to Lin Yue?
