Children who are very young do not know the principles of human relationships, and they only judge the closeness and distance based on how others treat them.
Li Ya often came to express condolences, and there were many gifts of food and drinks in the house. He was also very powerful. In Chen Shubao's eyes, he was a friendly and trustworthy person. But the man who was forced by Peng Niang to call him "father" was a stranger to him.
After that, he acted arrogantly, and in his eyes, he was naturally a bad person.
Seeing her son running towards Li Ya, Ms. Liu no longer stood still. She bent down and picked up her son and held him in her arms. She then looked back at Yao Wan'er and said with an apologetic look: "I've been disturbed by my sins in the past, so I can't laugh at you."
Outdoors. My wife is happy to have a good marriage, and she doesn’t need to be caught in this bad luck. Please go quickly and don’t watch my ugly appearance here.”
When Yao Wan'er heard what Mrs. Liu said, she felt that it was inconvenient to stay here any longer, so she whispered to Mrs. Liu: "Madam, let's settle the family affairs in peace first. If anything is unresolved, we can send someone to the house to inform you."
After that, she motioned to the two attendants to stay here, and then returned to the car.
As the carriage drove away from the door, Li Ya still stood motionless in the distance. Seeing this, Ms. Liu came forward and said softly: "General, what do you want to see if you stay here? Although I am as humble as an ant, I still want to show some dignity in the eyes of the general.
…General, please go and don’t disappoint Duke Tang.”
After hearing this, Li Ya glanced at the lady's pleading eyes again, and then walked away.
In the courtyard, Chen Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Madam Liu sending all the people away. When he saw Madam Liu returning home with her son in her arms, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "I thought the lady was a
If you are from a famous family, you should have a strategic approach to raising your children, but I don’t expect him to be so stupid! If I don’t find him again, this scoundrel will surely recognize his thief as his father!”
Mrs. Liu ignored Chen Xu's rebuke. She first put her son aside who was still shivering, then turned around and closed the door to the courtyard, then led her son back into the room. Peng Niang also held her child in her arms.
He lowered his head and followed Mrs. Liu into the room.
Chen Xu, who was left hanging in the courtyard, was naturally displeased, so he also stepped into the room, looked at Madam Liu and frowned, saying, "Madam, is she acting like this because she blames me for abandoning your mother and son in Jiangling? Or maybe it's because of the previous marriage.
Is that divorce letter still in your heart? If you blame me for staying away from me, what's the point?
The failure to defend Jiangling was all due to the incompetence of Emperor Liang. Are there intact eggs under the overturned nest? I was also deeply harmed! As for the reason for the letter of divorce, don’t you know? You have brought evil karma upon yourself.
It actually affected me. I was trapped in a prison, and was forced by enemy generals. My life was in danger several times. I can’t tell you the danger!"
Mrs. Liu was still silent, but the more Chen Xu thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. However, he still wanted to ask for help from this woman, so he controlled his emotions again, slowed down his tone and continued: "The past is over, don't say more.
It’s useless. Today, we can still be together here, and our love is still intact. My uncle sent envoys to Wei to make peace, and Duke Tang also needs to treat him with dignity. When your mother and son return to my family, there is no need to cling to anyone in a humiliating way. Old things
Right and wrong, don’t mention it again!”
At this point, he pointed at Peng Niang and said: "Why don't you pack your luggage quickly! Just throw away all the sundries. My uncle and Tang Gong both have gifts. Even if you don't live in Jingzhao Villa, you can still
Find a big house in Beijing to live in peace and quiet."
When Peng Niang heard this, she nodded in agreement subconsciously. However, before she could take any action, she heard Mrs. Liu say: "Peng Niang, please lead the child to the inner room and don't come out!"
Peng Niang looked confused after hearing this, but after a moment she lowered her head to avoid Chen Xu's angry eyes, led the two children back to the room and closed the door.
"The right and wrong of old matters must be discussed clearly before they can be settled clearly. In the old years of Jiangling, the king was not white, and the country was overturned, but he said he was not guilty? The king served the country with his talents, and the concubine served the king with her body. If the country was not defended, the family was ruined.
If you die on the city wall, I will die in the house. If you lose your integrity, I will lose your virginity..."
When Chen Xu heard this, he frowned, stamped his feet and shouted angrily: "Lost your virginity? Is that thief really using force to humiliate you?"
Mrs. Liu did not directly respond to this question, but continued to say calmly: "When you are forced by others, it is nothing more than surrendering when you are strong. I am a chaste woman, and you abandon me like a worn-out shoe. Now whether you are chaste or unchaste, I will do it to you."
What's the matter? My child is still in the court, and your father is safe? A piece of paper conveys the difference between two lives. Now that you come to the house to disturb me, what offense do I have? If you still don't forgive me, I am alone and I will be executed by you."
Having said this, she took out a short blade with a length of more than a foot from under the table, placed it on the table, and then looked at Chen Xu with a determined look on her face.
When Chen Xu heard this, he felt ashamed and angry for a moment. He raised his leg and stepped on the table, pointed at Mrs. Liu and shouted angrily: "Whore, who taught you to be so tough!"
When Peng Niang heard the yelling and cursing in the room, she was also panicked. Just as she was about to open the door and rush out, the two children were holding her legs and crying. She could only shout in a low voice: "Master, calm down, Master."
Calm down your anger..."
Liu Jingyan did not flinch due to this roar, but instead pushed the short blade forward again, still kneeling in the seat with a calm expression.
When Chen Xu saw this scene, his heart surged with anger, and his eyes wandered to the dagger and Liu several times. In the end, he walked out, but he did not leave there. He only wandered in the courtyard. When he saw Yao
The two servants left behind were looking at him, feeling even more irritated and their brows furrowed deeper.
After a while, his mood gradually returned to calm, and his angry expression also subsided. He walked back to the room again, looked at Liu Jingyan who was still sitting in the seat, clasped his fists and bowed, and then said in a deep voice: "The past is the same.
I'm disturbing my mind, I'm disrespectful to my lady, please forgive me."
Seeing this change in his attitude, Liu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything and remained silent.
Chen Xu took a deep breath and continued: "My wife and I are not enemies at first. We became husband and wife because of the mismatch between Emperor Liang. My wife is a well-known and virtuous woman. If I hadn't been burdened by it, I would definitely have a good relationship in this life. The relationship is already there.
There is a piece of paper that has been written off, and it would be rude to bother me again. But now that I am in a foreign country, and I am helpless, I can only appeal to my wife. My wife is doting on Princess Xiangyang now. If you can give me advice and ask Tang Gong to let me go back to the south, I will win.
I’m grateful, and I will never bother my wife again!”
The Liu family was originally given to Chen Xu by Emperor Liang Xiao Yi in order to win over his uncle Chen Baxian. He did not have deep feelings for the girl. Previously, he wanted to make Liu family obey his orders based on the relationship between husband and wife, but when he saw that Liu family
He was so determined to resist renewing their relationship, so he no longer forced it, and instead began to beg.
After all, his original intention was to return to Jiangdong. It is not known whether the messenger Xu Ling was really following his uncle's wishes or had some hidden agenda and did not ask Tang Gongli about the matter. He had no choice but to work hard on his own. After all, even if
To keep a hostage here, it is enough for his cousin Chen Chang to be here. There is really no point in him staying here any longer.
As long as he can return to Jiangdong, he doesn't care whether Liu is willing to renew their relationship with him. Leaving this shoal is like a fish returning to the river and sea. By then, he can roam as much as he wants, so what's the need for a man to have a wife!
When Mrs. Liu frowned and said nothing, Chen Xu continued: "The reason why I don't want to return to my sect must also be related to General Li Ya. If I can find the right sect, it will be a good match. I am the only one."
Isn't it better for a child to be raised in his father's family? If I continue to stay here, my son will be just a prisoner's son living under someone else's roof. If he can follow me back to Jiangdong, it will be extremely valuable! My wife can't bear to seek perfection for herself and waste my child's life.
Previous journey?”
"However, the princess has pity on my mother and son because they are helpless. How can I make comments based on this and be even more greedy than right?"
After Mrs. Liu heard this, she shook her head and refused.
Chen Xu was suppressing his anger to communicate with this woman, but when he heard that she was still so pedantic and rigid, he immediately frowned and said: "My wife and I are still husband and wife, and helping me means helping you. I will no longer hold you accountable for being uneasy at home."
, provoking evil fate, if you are not willing to help me even with this little thing, are you trying to force me to turn against you?
I know that Mr. Tang understands justice and does not condone evil people. Li Ya has been punished for his crimes before. Now if I report to Mr. Tang that his father used force to steal my wife, guess what decision Mr. Tang will make.
?If this incident affects Jianghuai's plans, then even if Li Ya avoids death, her future may be lost. Will he still yearn for his wife as much as he does now?
I don’t want to hinder my wife’s good relationship, but my wife is clearly capable of helping me, but she refuses to care about my old relationship. This is really chilling!”
"Get out, get out!"
At this moment, Mrs. Liu was also threatened by Chen Xu and was thrown into chaos. Not losing her previous decisiveness and calmness, she waved her hand to drive Chen Xu out of the door.
Seeing that the lady reacted so excitedly, Chen Xu did not dare to continue to threaten him. After all, the lady was one of the few channels through which he could achieve his intention, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the room, stood outside the door and bowed again and said
: "Madam, please be patient for a moment. I will take my leave first and come back to visit my wife and my children on another day. I hope that by then my wife will be clear-minded, make good choices, and part ways with me."
After saying this, Chen Xu exited the house, took several of his followers and left Wu'er City. When he and his group arrived outside the city, they met Lady Yao who had just been escorted back to the school.
Li Ya galloped back.
Li Ya also saw Chen Xu and his entourage, and immediately reined in his horse, while Chen Xu directly rode forward, raised his hands to Li Ya and said: "It turns out that he is General Li Ya, whom he has admired for a long time. He has been honored by the military commander Li Ya for many times.
The general took care of him, but before he had time to express his thanks, General Li went to serve in another state, which is really regrettable. The young son of Zhuo Jing also received the general's care, so I am really grateful..."
"Ms. Liu is no longer a married woman. If you continue to harass her at home, I will never let you go!"
After Li Ya heard this, she immediately said with a cold face and angrily.
After hearing this, Chen Xu shook his head and said: "General, you have misunderstood. I am not trying to prevent your good marriage. On the contrary, I am happy to see my wife get a good match. The general is Tang Gong's confidant. If you can help me return to Jiangdong, I will not take advantage of it."
If a wife has the title of hateful general, she will be thanked with great gifts when she returns!"
After hearing this, Li Ya shook her head and said, "I can't decide whether you stay or go!"
"As long as the general is willing, I don't expect things to happen quickly."
Chen Xu knew that he was now in a weak position, and even if he had an agenda, he did not dare to push it too far. After telling Li Ya that he had no fundamental conflict with her, he clasped his fists and left.
Li Ya did not expect that they would have such an exchange. After being stunned for a while, she ran to Wu'er City again. When she came to the outside of Liu's house, he did not go straight in. He asked the two servants outside the door in a low voice.
After seeing the scene in the house after he left, he gave some rewards to the two of them and asked them to stay here. He was afraid that entering the house might make Mrs. Liu more worried, so he left with many worries.
