"So, Liu Yingshun was accidentally killed by Liu Yaozu?"
After burning the incense, Chen Chang supported Shui Ling'er, and the two of them crawled out of the hole under the altar of the ancestral hall in disgrace.
"Exactly!" Shui Ling'er lowered her head, looking panicked, like a child who had done something wrong. "But... all of this happened because of my concubine..."
It turns out that Liu Yingshun participated in the construction of the Chu family ancestral hall. At that time, he was just a young man. By chance, the craftsman in charge of the construction of the ancestral hall got drunk and revealed the secret of the ancestral hall to the audience. He was a
A thoughtful person should keep this in mind and never tell outsiders.
Wubao was under siege today, so he had the idea of taking his family to leave through the secret passage, but Shui Ling'er refused and tried to escape again and again. The father and son beat and scolded them, and threatened them.
, and then forced her to get into the secret passage together.
Unexpectedly, Shui Ling'er did not give up the idea of escape.
In the chaos and darkness, the Liu family and his son had a dispute. Liu Yingshun believed that Shui Ling'er was a burden. If he continued walking at this speed, he would probably be discovered by the thieves even if he reached the exit. It would be better to end it all and abandon Shui Ling'er or even kill him.
p>
This proposal was firmly opposed by Liu Yaozu. He had been thinking about this flower for many years, so how could he let it go so easily?
During the fierce dispute, Liu Yaozu pushed his father, and Liu Yingshun slipped and fell immediately. By chance, he was stabbed to death by a stalagmite on the ground.
Seeing that her husband was dead, Mrs. Liu Mao burst into tears, but she did not hesitate and ordered her son to take Shui Ling'er away immediately.
Mrs. Liu Mao knows how to care about gains and losses. Although she hates Shui Ling'er in her heart, she also knows that her son is obsessed with sex. It is absolutely impossible for him to kill Shui Ling'er at this time. She can only make plans later. As long as Shui Ling'er is still with her.
In the hands of mother and son, there are many opportunities to torture this little whore.
Chen Chang heard that although she was tortured in the Liu family, she was still sad for Liu Yingshun's death. He couldn't help but sigh and lowered his head to look at her. He saw the woman in front of him with eyes as clear as water and a bright heart.
There was still mist on the face, and there were still dust, tear stains and redness and swelling after being beaten.
This is such a kind woman.
At this moment, he wanted to gently pick up her tender face like a handful of spring water and take pity on her.
"Miss Ling'er, Liu Yingshun is not a kind person. Although the Liu family has been kind to you, you must have paid off all these years when you were a slave and a slave. Besides, his death is not the same as yours.
There is no direct connection. If he hadn't been murderous, how could he be accidentally killed by his own son? You don't need to worry too much about this."
Although Chen Chang lived in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was still thinking of modern people.
Shui Ling'er heard that she called herself "Ling'er" instead of the previous "Shui Girl". A shy blush appeared on her delicate cheeks. Although she knew it was a kind words to persuade her, she had been kind-hearted since she was a child. She saw her on the road.
Insects, ants and the like also walk around. If they encounter injured and dead sparrows, frogs, small birds and small animals, they will be unhappy all day long. Even if they have a bad temper, they will not change.
Now, a living person died in front of her like this. She knew that Liu Yingshun was not a good person, but she could not bear to see him die unexpectedly.
She lost her voice and said: "Mr. Lang, what are you talking about? No matter what he has done before, it is still a life. How can I let go? His wife and children left him and ran for their lives. I thought that one day, the thief would
People have retreated, so it’s better to take his body out of the secret passage and bury him alive.”
Chen Chang smiled, feeling a little sad. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that although he had experienced betrayal by a woman before and the lesson was painful, the woman in front of him now, who looked like the white moonlight, made him believe that most people are kind.
.
Shui Ling'er said in a low voice: "When I was young, I often heard my father say, 'Good deeds are the most precious treasure, and you can never use them up in a lifetime; your heart is a fertile land, and you can use it up in a hundred lifetimes.' Now my father is gone, but this sentence is true for me.
Keep it in mind all the time."
Chen Chang didn't know Shui Ling'er's past, but as the saying goes, one good deed stains the heart and will be immortal for all eternity; a hundred lights will shine brightly, and it will be bright for thousands of miles.
Since he came to this world, he has seen the harshness of the world, and even felt the true love of the world.
Grandchildren of the Yan family, Miss Wang, and Shui Linger in front of me...
At this moment, he felt that his scarred heart was itchy, as if the wound was slowly recovering and growing new flesh, and he couldn't help but gently hold the white catkin in his hand.
Of course Shui Ling'er didn't know what he was thinking. Along the way, she followed Chen Chang, her body swaying, and she kept thinking of Liu Yingshun's death, as if she was stepping on cotton under her feet.
With this swaying gait, the secret passage in front of him seemed even more cramped and narrow. Chen Chang was afraid that the poor woman would hit the cave wall or stumble and fall to the ground, so he simply held her hand.<
/p>
She couldn't help but recall the scene before Liu Yingshun's death and the tragedy after his death. She knew that these things had been far behind her, but she still couldn't let go. Even though she had crawled out of the secret passage and stood on the flat ground of the ancestral hall.
Go up, I am still trembling with fear...
After a moment, she tried hard to break free from Chen Chang's hand, but she immediately felt regretful for such a rude action and shouldn't have treated him like this.
The heat from the palm of that big hand once flowed through the whole body in a moment, giving her courage and strength in the dark and moist secret passage. She had never felt such a warm feeling before.
Without this hand holding me, I really don’t know how to get out of this secret passage.
"Young Master, I am..." Shui Ling'er's body began to tremble due to the fierce ideological struggle.
Regarding Shui Ling'er's behavior, Chen Chang misunderstood, saying that she was still in fear.
It is conceivable that such a kind and delicate woman has suffered psychological trauma after experiencing such a life and death.
Under the firelight, Shui Ling'er's face was pure and childish, and a touch of tenderness quietly appeared in Chen Chang's eyes. He suddenly couldn't help but reveal his true feelings. He could no longer restrain himself and hugged Shui Ling'er tightly in his arms, murmuring.
: "Everything has passed, passed... You will no longer have to live a life of being bullied and beaten by others. As soon as dawn comes, the government's reinforcements will arrive. By then the thieves will disperse, and everything will be a new beginning...
”
This is the so-called pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade.
Chen Chang knew that unknowingly, this cute and cute girl next door had settled deeply into his heart.
He had to admit that he liked this girl, and he had felt this way from the first time he met her. However, she was the child bride of the Liu family at that time, and there was an insurmountable gap between the two.
This time, God not only gave him a new life, but also brought such a gentle and kind-hearted woman to him. The process was a mistake, but it was all fate and God's compensation for him.
He couldn't leave her alone and helpless, couldn't let her get hurt again...
Chen Chang's fingers gently caressed Shui Ling'er's face. Her cheeks were as cold as ice and as smooth as jade. Suddenly, a touch of warmth came from her fingertips, which were Shui Ling'er's tears.
Shui Ling'er was suddenly held in his arms, her body stiffened at first, and then she shivered even more.
She was already in danger, but she didn't expect someone to suddenly come to her rescue. At this time, in Chen Chang's arms, she touched his broad and solid chest and smelled a strong manly scent. She was surprised, happy and ashamed.
For a moment, my body felt so weak that I almost fainted, but I didn’t even know what he said clearly.
Shui Ling'er has never been so close to a man, let alone this man is not a disgusting person like Liu Yaozu? She only feels extremely happy in her heart, and her hands that were originally at a loss now hug Chen Chang, even though there will be many difficulties later
Despite all difficulties, she has no worries or fears.
Shui Ling'er's pretty face was pressed against his chest, with tears streaming down her face. She was so shy that she didn't dare to raise her head. After a while, she murmured and choked: "Little husband, I can only survive in this world if I am saved by my husband."
I should be doing everything I can to repay my husband. I am so lucky to be acquainted with my husband, but I am still a member of the Liu family. As the saying goes, I am quiet, chaste, disciplined, and behave with shame.
Dharma refers to women's virtue..."
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, against the backdrop of years of wars, sharp population decline, and the coexistence of the three religions, in order to survive and reproduce, various countries provided loose regulations on the requirements for marriage. Although the court frequently praised virtuous women, the phenomenon of remarriage among the people still persisted.
It happens from time to time that a woman's status improves slightly.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was even a situation where women divorced their husbands. The princesses of the Liu Song Dynasty generally had disagreements with their princes-in-law, and were allowed to divorce and remarry one after another by the emperor. After the Liang Dynasty, Confucian ethics began to flourish again, and the ethical code often gained ground again, so Shuiling
Although my son thought about Chen Chang, he still couldn't overcome this etiquette.
Chen Chang became anxious after hearing this, pushed her away and said angrily: "Do you still want to find that Liu Yaozu and continue to endure the torture and torture? Women's virtues, women's virtues, haven't you ever thought about yourself? I only want you to live well.
Even if you marry someone who is really good to you, even if that person is not me, you... why are you so obscene..."
The flickering light of the fire illuminated Shui Ling'er's pretty face, but the tears on her face were crystal clear. When Chen Chang saw it, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and could no longer utter any words of scolding.
Shui Ling'er raised her head with tears in her eyes and said to Chen Chang very seriously: "Ling'er understands Xiao Langjun's thoughts, but Ling'er's status is not worthy of Xiao Langjun. In the future, there will be a famous Shuyuan who will love Xiao Langjun."
The husband is deeply in love and is a good match..."
"Don't talk anymore!" Chen Chang'er's heart suddenly trembled, interrupting Shui Ling'er's words. At this time, Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism were still five or six hundred years old, but "it's a small matter for a woman to starve to death, but it's a big deal to lose her integrity."
Concepts like "are gradually forming. The light of the torch gradually became smaller. Under the weak firelight, he suddenly found that this delicate and kind-hearted woman was so pitiful and lovely.
"Ling'er..." Chen Chang hugged her into his arms again, and when he kissed her forehead gently, he clearly felt the delicate and boneless body in his arms tremble.
The pine branch fire almost extinguished the fire, and the sparks flickered on and off, the light and shadow were blurred, two helpless people hugged each other, bandits were rampant outside the Wubao, only this quiet ancestral hall was a small world belonging to the two of them.
While the two were immersed in this short-lived sweetness, there was a flash of fire outside the door, and a figure holding a torch came to the door. When he saw a man and woman embracing each other in the main hall of the ancestral hall, his expression was stunned, and thoughts immediately emerged in his mind.
One word.
