Love the Red House

Chapter 23: The past is gone

Seeing Yingchun being cautious and distrusting himself so much, Sun Shaozu's heart flashed with deep anger, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "What do you mean? It seems that in your heart, you have never regarded me as your husband." Son-in-law?"

The corners of Yingchun's lips raised slightly, her smile was light and cold, and she asked without answering: "What does the master mean by asking such a question? Could it be that when the master treats me, he regards me as the wife who is married to the media?"

Hearing her skeptical words, Sun Shaozu was speechless immediately, remembering that he had abused this woman in every possible way in the past, made her suffer so much, shed countless tears, and never saw her in his eyes, let alone her. As a married wife.

If so, it is only natural for her to be so careful.

Flicking his sleeve vigorously, Sun Shaozu concentrated his mind, looked at Yingchun fixedly, gritted his teeth and said: "Before I make up my mind, you keep your things yourself. As for now, I just take a look, that's all."

Yingchun nodded with a smile, and said calmly: "I am at ease with the words of the master." After speaking, she turned her head to Xiuju and nodded her head as a signal.

When Xiuju saw this, her heart was as clear as a mirror, and she hurried forward obediently, presenting the ancient painting Daiyu gave her, and unfolding it carefully.

Yingchun raised her slender hand, pointed to the scroll, looked at the expressionless Sun Shaozu, and said slowly: "I don't have any cash around me, but here is a 'Green Bamboo Picture', which is a famous work by the painters of the former dynasty. , and is quite famous, thinking about it, if it is sold, its value will never be less than 5000 taels of silver."

Hearing these words, Sun Shaozu was quiet for a while, and Fang stepped up to Xiuju, looked him over, with an emotionless smile on his face, and said softly: "It seems that this painting is indeed very valuable, but , I have some doubts in my heart, as a lady, how did the lady get this painting?"

Turning around to look at Yingchun, she gave a slight "huh" and mocked: "Could it be that Madam stole this painting while her natal family was not paying attention?"

Yingchun smiled, and said softly and indifferently: "Master, don't doubt it, I will not do such a thing of stealing. As for the origin of this painting, it was originally a gift from my good sister, so there will never be any problem."

He waved his hand and asked Xiuju to put away the painting scroll, then looked at Sun Shaozu, and said calmly: "I've seen the painting, I think it's worth five thousand silver, the master should be satisfied, right?"

Sun Shaozu was speechless for a while, thinking for a long time, with an unpredictable smile on his lips, he said to Yingchun: "Madam's actions today are beyond my expectation, let me think for a while before replying to Madam, how about it?"

After hearing this, although Yingchun was unhappy, because the initiative of the matter was in Sun Shaozu's hands, she nodded and sighed: "If that's the case, I'll wait."

Pausing for a moment, staring at Sun Shaozu, he added: "However, this matter is no different than others, the master should make a decision as soon as possible. In this way, it will be better for me and the master."

Hearing this, Sun Shaozu's complexion darkened, and he sneered, "I promised to consider it, but you are still pressing so hard. It seems that you can't wait to leave the Sun's house immediately, don't you?"

Yingchun's bright eyes flowed like waves, and she raised her lips and said, "So what if it is, so what if it's not? In the master's heart, don't you hate me to the bone, don't you want to look at me more?"

Hearing that she always responded with the same tone, Sun Shaozu was very annoyed, but he was speechless. After a long silence, Fang looked at Yingchun's beautiful but resolute face, and said with a half-smile: "Okay, don't worry, madam. I will make a decision on this matter as soon as possible and give Madam an explanation."

Having said that, he waved his hand and said to the little maid who was waiting on the side: "That's the matter, let's take Madam back to the main room to rest."

After hearing this, the maid hurriedly agreed, and Yingchun pondered for a while, but she couldn't object anymore, so she had to say to Sun Shaozu: "So, please go ahead, master, I will take my leave first." Then, she bent her knees slightly, and took the embroidered orange with her. , followed the servant girl to leave the main hall.

Sun Shaozu stood on the spot, eyes wide open, watching the slender figure slowly walk away, and finally disappeared from sight, his thoughts were numb, and it was difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger.

The past is like a dream, and the person who returns has changed.

He never imagined that one day, Yingchun, who used to be so cowardly and dare not show off his grandeur, would stand up so strong and stand in front of him, facing him tit for tat, calmly, with brilliance shining in his eyes, shining like pearls .

This situation made him unexpected and even more at a loss. Before that, he had never looked at this woman directly, but after experiencing today's incident, he clearly knew that he could no longer despise her.

How will he treat her in the days to come?Do you really want to let her go as she said?

Out of the main hall, walked along the corridor to Yingchun's residence, as soon as the little maid stepped down, Xiuju pulled Yingchun's sleeve, pursed her lips and said: "Compared with the past, the girl's behavior today is really different. The world of difference makes everyone look at it with admiration, even the servants are dumbfounded."

Yingchun walked to the window, sat down slowly, and sighed: "Don't say it's you, even I didn't expect that I could become so decisive."

Cherry lips parted slightly, and he let out a sigh of relief, with a relaxed look on his face, and then said: "Although this step is difficult and a little uneasy, but I feel safe in my heart, just because I know in my heart that I have finally done it. It’s something worth doing, something that should be done.”

Xiuju nodded and remained silent for a while, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a lingering fear appeared faintly, and he said in a low voice: "The master's face was gloomy just now, and he was about to have an attack, but the girl didn't retreat half a step, she was determined The strength is really good, but the slaves are so frightened."

Yingchun pursed her lips slightly, with a faint smile: "If you're talking about this, as long as you see through it, there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, I've figured it out myself. Why should I be afraid of someone who only bullies weak women with brute force?"

Raising her slender hand, straightening the folds of the clothes, recalling what happened today, she felt filled with emotion, and said with a sigh: "Sister Lin is right, in fact, people live in this world, and they shouldn't hug other people too much." What you should rely on is yourself. As long as you are strong, no matter what happens to you, you will be able to deal with it calmly and never be afraid."

Xiuju nodded lightly, with a sign of approval on her face, and echoed: "Miss Lin's insight has always been different, and every time it makes people feel moved and admired, it is hard to forget after hearing it."

Staring at Yingchun, there was joy in his brows, and he said again: "Young lady's performance today is quite similar to that day when Miss Lin talked eloquently in Zilingzhou."

Yingchun smiled slightly, her complexion was clear, she waved her hands and said, "Your words are too much, how can I compare with Sister Lin?"

There was a faint smile on Xiuju's lips, and she shook her head and said: "Girl, you don't have to be humble. Today, every move and every word of this girl reveals a touch of extraordinary arrogance, and also has a calm and indifferent attitude. It's amazing, but I still have a doubt in my heart, girl..." At this point, his voice gradually lowered, but his eyes fell directly on Yingchun, with a slight frown between his brows, as if hesitant to speak.

Yingchun saw it, waved his hand, and said in a gentle voice: "You have been with me for many years, and you have a good relationship with me. If you have something to say, just say it. Why should you be taboo?"

After hearing this, Xiuju pondered for a moment, bit her lips and said: "Since this is the case, the servant girl has something to say. Today, the girl asked for a divorce letter, and her words were well-founded and calm. However, the servant girl wants to ask the girl, Is this what the girl really thinks?"

"Of course," Yingchun nodded immediately, without a moment's hesitation, and said solemnly, "I made a claim without telling you about this matter. You must be surprised, and maybe a little annoyed. Just calm down and listen to me." Explain."

Patted Xiuju's arm, with a gentle smile on his lips, and his voice softened and said: "At the beginning, I only planned to hand over the painting directly after I came back, so that he could no longer use money as a threat, nor That's it, but when I got out of the sedan chair and walked in, I suddenly realized that I am already tired of the life of the Sun family, and if possible, I don't want to stay in this place any longer."

After hearing these words, Xiuju was silent for a long time, Fang sighed, and said softly: "This is a girl's own life, and it's a matter of course for a girl to make up her own mind. I shouldn't point fingers, but, I was very worried. As soon as the girl came back, she made such a suggestion. It seemed a little rash. If the master didn't agree, wouldn't the girl's actions today be in vain? Taking a step back, even if the master agreed, The Jia family will definitely not be able to go back, how will the girl live in the days to come?"

Yingchun supported his forehead with his hands, with a calm demeanor, and said word by word: "Your words are wrong, I have spoken out my thoughts, even if he refuses, I have worked hard and resisted, in my heart, I will never speak again." If I have any regrets, if he agrees, it will be a great joy for me. As for the days to come, I will live on my own, as Sister Lin said."

Speaking of this, he raised his lips and smiled, and said calmly: "The world is so big, I don't believe that apart from the Jia family and the Sun family, there is no place for me, Jia Yingchun."

At that time, she had a beautiful face and soft words, but she contained a firm demeanor like jade, and she smiled at the world of mortals indifferently, which made people move.

Xiu Ju was speechless for a moment, pondered for a long time, then nodded and said: "Young lady's knowledge is much better than mine, I am indeed wrong."

Yingchun smiled lightly, raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to hold Xiuju, and said calmly: "I have already thought about my future, but I forgot to ask, what are your plans for the future?"

After hearing this, Xiuju said without hesitation: "Young lady, why do you need to ask? The servant girl is the maidservant of the young lady, so she should follow the young lady."

Slightly pursing her red lips, she chuckled lightly, and continued: "If the master agrees to today's matter, I will follow the girl and leave the Sun Mansion together, go outside to find a place to stay, and support each other to live. If you refuse to agree, it's nothing, I will still accompany the girl and spend the years in the Sun Mansion."

After hearing this, Yingchun felt joy in her heart, the frown lines between her brows slowly unfolded, and the corners of her brows and eyes were filled with a gentle and quiet smile, so touching.

The past is like a dream, she no longer cares about how many times she shed tears and how many ups and downs she has experienced, because she already understands that as long as she doesn't underestimate herself, she will be able to rely on herself in the future A wonderful one!
