At the same time, there were two people speculating about Luo Tingyun. In the godmother's house, the new uncle got married the day before, and now the young couple were sitting in the new house chatting. Feng Yulinqi said, "I know that aunt has always been poor, how come
Such a large dowry?" Xiyan thought for a moment, "Auntie's father was a famous doctor and an imperial doctor before his death. How much money is there?" Feng Yulin smiled, "Then there won't be such a large dowry. I think you can buy it."
In the lower half of the city, outsiders say it's a reward from the imperial concubine. Why doesn't the imperial concubine give it to her own mother and give it to outsiders?" Xiyan rolled her eyes at him, "You imply that you think my family's dowry is too small?"
Feng Yulin hurriedly held up his hands to her and said, "Madam, it's your husband's fault. It doesn't matter if you get the dowry, the key is that we and our husbands can live a good life. Eh? Madam, why do you still look unhappy?" Xiyan was about to speak again.
After that, Feng Yulin looked at her for a long time and couldn't help but smile, "What on earth is going on?" Xi Yan said, "Then Princess Qingcha is about to marry Changfeng!" Feng Yulin was a little confused for a moment, and couldn't help thinking about it.
Zhu laughed and said seriously: "Madam, I have long forgotten about the beautiful beauty of Qingcha. From now on, you are the only one in my heart."
smile.
Finally the day of departure came! Feng Yulin, Changfeng and Xueju rushed to the border one after another.
Not long after, Luo Tingyun was taken home by his mother. Her mother bought a house with trees in the front yard and a vegetable patch in the back yard. The house was a sunny five-bay house, and besides the bedrooms, there were several halls.
Neat and simple. The first thing his mother said when she saw Luo Tingyun was, "I have lost weight in just a few days. Is this body okay when I live with other people in the future?" Then she started cooking. Luo Tingyun looked around and sighed in her heart.
The layout of my mother's residence is the same as before." The mother served the food, and the two of them ate and chatted as before. Naturally, the mother asked her husband's family how they treated Luo Tingyun. Of course Luo Tingyun replied, "It's okay." Mother.
He said, "If you have any grievances, go home and tell your mother, and she will enlighten you."
The mother ate very little. Seeing her daughter eating a lot, she couldn't help but smile happily and asked lovingly, "Are you full?" Luo Tingyun nodded repeatedly, and the mother smiled and said, "My son has thought about how long he will stay here."
Luo Tingyun said, "My mother-in-law is pretty good to me. If I stay with my mother-in-law for a long time, if I don't tell my mother-in-law's opinions, outsiders will think they are treating me badly. So I want to stay there for a while and then go back to see my mother."
Mother nodded slowly and said, "Okay, then the bedroom you live in in the south will be the same as the place you used to live in, except it's bigger. The open space under the window is enough for you to grow flowers and vegetables." Luo Tingyun clapped his hands and said, "Mom
, I plant half of the vegetables and half of the landlilies." When her mother heard this, she laughed and got up to clean up the rice bowl. Luo Tingyun returned to his house happily, and faced a tall cabinet with five doors in front of him. Luo Tingyun walked over curiously
, opened the cabinet door and took a look, oh! There are so many clothes, including light blue, light green, soft white, tender pink, floral, large, striped, all in different styles.
The top has narrow sleeves and a loose skirt, which is beautiful and convenient whether walking or working. Luo Tingyun knew that her mother had specially prepared it for him, and she looked at each piece with tenderness in her heart.
Suddenly, he felt someone from behind covering his eyes with his hands. Luo Tingyun was still yelling, and a lump of stuff blocked his mouth. A strange smell entered his nose. Luo Tingyun only managed to pull it off a few times before he didn't know where he was. He didn't know how long it would take.
, suddenly a basin of cold water was poured on him, Luo Tingyun woke up with a start, and heard a cold voice saying, "She's awake, bring her here." Luo Tingyun twisted subconsciously, but found that his hands and feet were all injured.
Fortunately, I took off the blindfold and looked around. I saw a huge dark cave with only a few palace lanterns lit. The unclear lights reflected the four walls of the cave, making it even more empty.
Weird.
After a while, my eyes adjusted, and with the dim light, I finally saw clearly a person wearing a mask sitting on the stone chair in the middle. The candle next to him only illuminated his upper body, making the person seem to be floating in the air. "Witch, you have this day too.
"The man said coldly. Luo Tingyun said, "What do you want?" The man said sternly, "I want you to die." Luo Tingyun was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't expect you hate Rujin so deeply." The name came out.
The person at the exit stopped talking, but his body was obviously shaking. After a long time, the person calmed down and said, "Don't blame me, just because you have a wonderful mother." Her tone was full of resentment, and Luo Tingyun asked calmly.
"What's wrong with you, Rujin?"
The man slowly took off the mask on his face, stretched out his hand, and firelight suddenly shone in all directions. He saw two rows of masked men standing together, each holding a torch. And under the firelight in the middle was a pale and beautiful face.
Her face was ferocious, and her facial features seemed to be distorted. She almost gritted her teeth every word, "Your mother is a she-wolf in human skin. Do you know what she did to me?" A voice was heard sighing: "Since
In ancient times, every grievance has its owner and every debt has its owner. Rujin, it is me you hate, please let go of my daughter."
A figure floated in silently. Rujin sneered. The man walked in, holding a big lantern in his hand. She raised the lantern and hung it accurately on the cave wall. The light in the cave increased greatly. The man turned out to be
It was Luo Tingyun's mother. Luo Tingyun was surprised to see that there were still people in the deep corner of the cave. Her lower right hand was her godmother, looking at Rujin sadly. Next to her were her uncle and Guanying. Luo Tingyun wondered why these people didn't
Still speechless? After a closer look, it turned out that everyone was tightly bound, with something stuffed in their mouths, and they all looked exhausted. It looked like they had been forced to take some kind of medicine. Luo Tingyunniang said coldly, "You seem to be
Your wings have grown hard, and you actually dare to compete with me."
Rujin sneered and pointed, "These are your relatives and friends. Everyone has been hit by Su Gu San. They can't speak or move. Within twelve hours, without the antidote, all their bones will be rotten and their muscles will be weak. You
How to save me?" Luo Tingyun rushed to ask, "What are your conditions?" Rujin spread his hands and said, "It's very simple. I heard that your father had a treasure map back then, and the treasure has been taken out. You are getting married this time.
, The dowry is unusual, so well, hand over all the treasures and belongings." As he said this, he looked directly at Luo Tingyunniang.
The latter seemed unmoved by this piercing gaze. He just looked at his daughter worriedly, and Rujin said sternly, "Did you hear that?" A voice shouted angrily, "Do you want to seize your wealth and escape if your conspiracy is exposed?"
Rujin seemed to be startled, but for a moment a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her face sank and she said, "You are lucky, did you escape without dying?" When Luo Tingyun heard this voice, he couldn't help but shout happily, "Xi Yan."
A little light emerged from the darkness getting closer and closer, and finally merged into the nearby firelight. Xiyan's face was pale, and he walked slowly step by step, his eyes full of sadness. He looked up and down at Xiyan like a brocade and sneered, "You
How did you escape?" Xiyan looked at her coldly. Although his tone was calm, his eyes were full of grief and anger, "I was lucky enough to escape from the murderous hands of my own sisters."
Rujin stopped paying attention to her but looked at Luo Tingyun's mother, smiled sinisterly and said, "Auntie, let's make everything clear to Luo Tingyun." Her eyes flickered, like a wolf staring at its prey, but only staring at
With Luo Tingyunniang.
Luo Tingyun had already been untied by her mother. At this moment, her mother was rubbing her joints. When she heard these words, her hands trembled and slowly moved upwards. Finally, they moved to her face and stopped again, but
Still, he slowly tore off a thin layer of human skin mask from his face, and the beauty that appeared was the Lady Butterfly of Bitao Village back then.
Luo Tingyun screamed and couldn't help but lean back. Madam Die opened her arms to hug her and threw herself into the air. She couldn't help but look pale and smiled bitterly, "Did Luo Tingyun deny her mother?" Her voice remained unchanged, the same kindness.
Luo Tingyun couldn't help but call "Mother." Madam Butterfly smiled kindly at her and said, "I'll tell you everything."
Madam Butterfly's mother's family was originally a noble family, but Madam Butterfly's parents died when she was young, and she was raised by her distant cousin, Chang Feng's father. However, her cousin has always been cold to her. When Madam Butterfly grew up, she built a well-known palace.
Beauty, my cousin-in-law decided to marry her to a relative of hers. This man was very fond of Mrs. Butterfly and his family was extremely wealthy. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Later, her husband fell ill and died. Mrs. Butterfly was twenty years old and was young.
When he was in his prime, although his family was extremely wealthy, living alone and lonely could not help but worry him every day. Over time, he secretly resented his cousin's sister-in-law for being selfish and wronged him. At that time, the eldest uncle came to visit from time to time, and the two of them started to have an affair. It was just that the emperor's uncle
He has always been a man of love and has no particular affection for any woman. Madam Butterfly has already had her heart set on that person. He is a man of outstanding humanistic talent and he is devoted to his wife. Therefore, although Madam Butterfly has feelings for that person, she has never been in contact with that person.
Loneliness first contacted the emperor's uncle.
Gradually, the emperor's uncle hooked up with another woman and stopped coming to Madam Butterfly. Although Madam Butterfly was angry, she was not very sad. Instead, she missed that person even more, and secretly sent people to follow all the movements of that person. That person was Gan Yu.
His younger brother was named Gan Lin, and soon an opportunity came. It turned out that Gan Lin’s wife’s father was a famous imperial doctor in the capital, but for some reason he suddenly disappeared with his daughter and did not return for a long time. There was a baby girl at home who cried every day, and Gan Lin looked everywhere for it.
He couldn't find his wife and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. At least his brother sent someone to find out. In fact, his father-in-law and his wife had already fled to settle abroad. The reason was not only that his father-in-law had cured the late king's beloved concubine, but also brought a hidden treasure with him.
This aroused the murderous intention of the uncle and the queen, and they had to get rid of it to get the treasure map. In fact, the treasure map was already in Gan Lin's hands as a dowry. He knew that it would be difficult to meet his wife, and his daughter was so young, so he was in great pain at that time
Mrs. Die took the opportunity to come to comfort him and help him take care of his little daughter. As time went by, Ganlin became grateful and developed feelings for Mrs. Die. Mrs. Die saw what was on his mind and paid a lot of money to find Xueju's father to come to his house and propose marriage. Xueju's father refused.
Gan Lin was moved by his impassioned speeches and after constant consideration decided to marry Madame Die, but he asked her to give up the comfortable life in the capital, resign from office, and return to the countryside together.
Madam Butterfly agreed without hesitation. Because Madam Die had always secretly dated Gan Lin without telling the Great Uncle, she was afraid that the Great Uncle would find out the truth and plan to destroy her, so Madam Die first hid in Bitao Village due to illness, and then found a skilled craftsman.
He made a human skin mask and put it on his face during the day and removed it at night. Gan Lin was not used to it at first, but as time went by, he found it very interesting and told his wife that although the mask's face was not as good-looking as Madam Butterfly's true self, it was more beautiful.
Showing simplicity. He and Gan Lin lived in Longxiang Village for a period of time. Gan Lin was completely moved by Madam Die's affection, so he handed over the treasure map left by his wife to Madam Die for her collection, and said that he had found the treasure and had no intention of taking it out.
Now I am content to live quietly with my wife and daughter.
Mrs. Butterfly was also very happy after hearing this, and she devoted herself to raising Gan Lin's daughter. She and the little girl were like mother and daughter. The close and affectionate family relationship made Mrs. Butterfly even more attached to Gan Lin. That time was like heaven on earth to Mrs. Butterfly. It's just that
Later, something unexpected happened. Before Gan Lin died, he repeatedly asked Mrs. Butterfly to take care of her daughter and get along well with Gan Yu. Mrs. Butterfly agreed with tears in her eyes. After that, because she missed her husband and remembered what he said about the mask being more plain than the person, Mrs. Butterfly stayed with her for a long time.
Live with a mask.
She also wanted her daughter to grow up in a simple and happy environment, and she couldn't bear to live with her husband and leave beautiful memories, so she took her daughter to live in her husband's former residence. However, Madam Die had a special role in the capital.
Fei had a good family business and had been living a life of good food and clothing. Now that her husband was gone, she was living alone in the countryside with a girl. It still felt inconvenient for a long time. Soon she arranged for her trusted maid to live in Bitao Village.
, in fact, she was taking care of the fields and orchards she bought in Bitao Village. In order to hide from others, she deliberately let Luo Tingyun recognize her godmother, and she took the time to go back to Bitao Village to check the accounts. In the past few years, her wealth had greatly increased. She only said to the outside world that she was
After all, Mrs. Die had read through the medical books left by Gan Lin's old wife and read them very well. She didn't want Luo Tingyun to know her true identity. Although the two were not biological mother and daughter, the feelings in Mrs. Die's heart had long been
It is the most precious affection she has given and received in the world besides Ganlin.
Madam Butterfly never forgot the death of her late husband, so she hated her uncle deeply, but she was not strong enough to compete. Later, she found out the conflict between him and the current king. One wanted to be in power when he grew up, and the other wanted to continue to be authoritarian. The Queen Mother was obviously neutral.
Secretly confiding to the emperor's uncle, Mrs. Die's livelihood was on her mind. She spent a large amount of money to train her godmother's youngest daughter, Rujin, and planned to send it to the Queen Mother or the monarch to spy on the emperor in order to deal with the emperor's uncle in the future. Unfortunately, the emperor's uncle learned that Die
I have been guarding against my wife since her affair.
Madame Die didn't want to betray her husband's final entrustment, so she wanted to stick to the old covenant of marrying her daughter to Xue Ju's fingertips, so she went to the capital to find Xue Ju's parents. She was wearing a mask at the time, thinking that she would not be betrayed by the great uncle's people.
Discovering that she had been careless and exposed her flaws when entering the city, the eldest uncle only thought that she came to the capital to deal with him, so he sent his men to capture Madam Butterfly, pretending that she was the daughter of a fugitive.
Fortunately, Madam Die bribed the jailer and asked him to report to Xueju's father. The latter had a good relationship with the emperor's uncle and came to intercede several times. Madam Die quietly took out a large amount of wealth and was released. Later she learned that her daughter
After going to Beijing to look for herself, Madam Die was afraid that the emperor's uncle would do something to her daughter, so she continued to hide her true identity and live with her daughter in Xuejiao Mansion.
Mrs. Die has always claimed that she lives in Bitao Village to cultivate herself. Changfeng has always known that this little cousin was tired of staying in Beijing, so he told his father that he went to the countryside to relax. Although his cousin has always been lukewarm to him, the countryside
Life in the capital was more interesting than life in the capital, especially when he met Luo Tingyun later, Changfeng also enjoyed it. Luo Tingyun sometimes didn't see his mother and believed her words, thinking that she was out to see a doctor.
, in fact, she changed her mask and returned to the Bitao Village cooking industry.
When Mrs. Die knew that her daughter had met Changfeng and they fell in love at first sight, she was shocked. Because she had always hated her cousin-in-law and was worried that her daughter would be angry with her cousin-in-law when she entered Changfeng Mansion in the future, so she forcibly prevented the two from interacting with each other and did not hesitate to talk about their love.
Xiao Xiao's daughter was sent to the rigid Ganyu place for "training" to cut off the relationship between the two, and she personally went to the capital to inquire about Xueju's character. When she saw Xueju himself, she couldn't help but be very happy, thinking that her daughter would have a lifelong support, and he himself
I can finally rest assured. Who knows that my daughter's thoughts are always on Changfeng, and Mrs. Die's mood can't help but be shaken and troubled.
There was another thing that bothered her. She thought that by arranging Rujin to enter the palace, she could have an informant, but Rujin didn't listen to her. Later, when the monarch eradicated the eldest uncle and Rujin was named a concubine, how could it happen?
Knowing that the father-in-law started making trouble again and almost put Rujin in the cold palace, Mrs. Die had to secretly advise Rujin to be careful and obedient and act according to the situation. She took her daughter and hid in the suburbs of the city with Xueju's family. She thought, it would be better to live a peaceful life first.
Little did she know that Xueju's father planned to let his son marry another concubine, which was a big blow to Madam Die. At that time, she thought that her daughter did not have to marry Xueju. She still had the family wealth to support the mother and daughter. How could this happen?
Later, it was found out that Mrs. Tao insisted on asking Mr. Jiang to report to the monarch, obtained an oral instruction, and passed the message through Rujin, and Xueju and Luo Tingyun got married.
Madam Butterfly only regarded Rujin as a chess piece at first. Rujin did not want to enter the palace at first, but was forced to be sent to the palace by her mother. The various intrigues in the palace made this simple little girl gradually learn to play tricks, and slowly she began to reflect on Madame Butterfly.
Everything she did made Rujin feel even more unbalanced, "Why should I be used by you? You take advantage of me when I get better, but I have to protect myself when something happens. Why?" As soon as the idea came out, he began to hate Madam Butterfly.
Especially when she was pregnant, when the father-in-law was in power, she was always depressed, which affected the fetal condition. Later, the father-in-law was removed, and Mrs. Die's superb medical skills tried her best to treat her, but she still had a miscarriage, which had a great impact on Rujin, and she felt resentful in her heart.
More important. There are many beauties around the monarch. Rujin is just one of the favored concubines. Recently, another concubine has been favored, and her beauty and skills are even more beautiful than Rujin. Rujin is always worried about herself. She weighs it for several days and finally accepts someone's persuasion.
. She pretended to invite the monarch to a banquet and secretly drugged the wine. As soon as the monarch was unconscious, she immediately ordered someone to send the monarch to a secret place. She was about to leave, but Xiyan discovered the clues. Xiyan found Rujin.
When asked, Rujin was afraid that everything he had done would be exposed, so he simply sent his men to assassinate Xiyan. At the same time, the monarch was kidnapped by another group of mysterious masked men. Rujin became even more restless and fled with his men to a secret underground palace, but what happened?
Thinking about the imbalance, he thought that today's situation was all because Madam Butterfly let him enter the palace. After thinking for a long time, he decided on a poisonous plan. First, he would capture Luo Tingyun and torture him at will to make Madam Butterfly sad. He was about to leave,
On the contrary, Xiyan found clues, and Xiyan went to Rujin to question him. Rujin was afraid that everything he had done would be exposed, so he simply sent his men to assassinate Xiyan. At the same time, the monarch was kidnapped by another group of mysterious masked men. Rujin became even more restless.
, led his men to escape to a secret underground palace, but he was unbalanced no matter how he thought about it. He thought that he was here today all because Madam Butterfly let him enter the palace. After thinking for a long time, he made a poisonous plan. First, he would capture Luo Tingyun and torture him at will.
