Chapter 109 The Past

Yang Ling'er gave a wry smile and drank the wine in one gulp. Ye Kexin did not stop him, but filled it up for herself and her, and listened quietly without saying a word.

"Looking at those eyes that were as clear as glass, but showed endless indifference and alienation, and the looming maple leaf on the left hand, I recognized him. He was the little boy who had lived in the courtyard next to my grandfather's house since he was a child.

Brother, although we are separated by a wall, we meet every day and play together every day." Yang Ling'er's cheeks were slightly red and she continued: "He was so kind at that time. He would not be as cold and heartless as he is now. He would accompany me to fly a kite, and he would fly a kite with me.

Flying a kite with me, picking fruits for me to eat, weaving bamboo dragonflies and grasshoppers to make me happy, and holding my hand tightly."

Ye Kexin asked softly: "What's his name?"

Yang Ling'er was stunned, shook her head and laughed, her eyes blurred: "I was only five years old at that time. I only knew him as brother, but I really didn't know what his name was?"

Ye Kexin was speechless and sighed: "Then what?"

"That day, I secretly ran to the back mountain to pick fruits, but it rained heavily. I accidentally slipped from the tree and broke my leg. I lay on the ground crying alone. He found me and wiped away my tears.

He carried me with his little body on his back and said don't be afraid, he would protect me. He said he would never let me go out alone again. He was worried. He said he would marry me when I grow up. I always remember it, but he

I've forgotten it a long time ago. He didn't even recognize me during the Qiao Qiao Festival." Yang Ling'er picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Ye Kexin, and they drank it all in one gulp.

"The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Later, the Yang family suffered a disaster. The tens of thousands of tons of grain and grass that my father transported to the border turned into stone overnight. Long Yan was furious, and hundreds of members of the Yang family were killed or injured.

, all those who barely survived were exiled to the barren land in the north. They got sick, injured, and died along the way. In the end, only my mother and I were left." Yang Ling'er couldn't help but shed tears, one drop at a time.

One drop, no matter what, can't be stopped.

Ye Kexin handed over a silk handkerchief and patted Yang Linger's shoulder comfortingly.

Yang Ling'er smiled gratefully, wiped her tears, and continued: "It was really difficult at that time! We had to compete with wild dogs for food and beggars for territory. The precarious situation was precarious. How could a spoiled young lady like me be able to bear it?

I was seriously ill. I had a high fever every day. Even in the coldest month of winter, the fever on my body could not go away. My mother held me and knelt outside the hospital door for three days and three nights, begging me hard, but nothing happened.

A person comes out to see each other. Without money, what's the use of kneeling for a long time? Even if his head is broken and his voice is hoarse, no one will take a second look at our mother and son. This is how the world is."

"My mother didn't wait for the doctor, but she did wait for the magistrate. He accidentally took a look at me and saw that my mother was pretty and had an outstanding temperament. So he bought me as a concubine for five taels of silver, and he took me with him.

I went back to my hometown and worked as a handyman. My mother had to endure all the hardships for me. She neither welcomed nor pleased her, let alone a girl in her prime of seventeen or eighteen years old. Within a few years, she was rejected and was taken over by a girl.

I was framed by my beloved concubine, and I was ill in bed for a long time, with no one caring about me. Only my mother and daughter were left to depend on each other in the whole house. This kind of life that was worse than a dog was simply worse than death. But an ant still lives in vain, not to mention that my life is the whole of Yang.

My family has sacrificed their lives for it. Even if I want to die, I can only live like this." Yang Ling'er sighed in infinite misery.

"Later, he came to the palace to propose marriage. The eldest lady was beautiful and beautiful. She was going to be the empress of the palace. How could she fall in love with a weak scholar who had no power, no name, and a smell of copper. The prefect is a well-behaved person, so he is not afraid.

Even if I’m ten thousand, I’m just afraid of the unexpected. What if one day he gets named on the gold medal list? After pushing and pushing, this good thing actually fell on me. When I found out it was him, I felt really happy. I felt like God

He still treats me well and intends to help us all." Yang Ling'er's voice was gentle, her face was red, and the happiness on her face was so obvious: "Even if he is just getting married, even if he brings two concubines into the house on the wedding day, he will humiliate me.

Me, even if it’s a night of flowers and candles at the wedding, I sit alone in front of the window and cry until dawn, I’m still grateful to God that he married me.”

"My mother once said that when you get married, you should restrain all your temper. Today is different from the past. The Yang family has long ceased to exist. We are still guilty, escaped prisoners, and we must be tolerant in everything. She did not ask for goodbye.

You just want me to live a safe life." Yang Ling'er drank the wine and said with infinite bitterness: "I listened to my mother, restrained all my temper, and considered everything for him, and never disobeyed his wishes. I can marry.

I want nothing more from him."

"A year later, I became pregnant and was happily sewing small clothes for my unborn child. But my mother-in-law brought me bad red flowers and ordered people to forcefully drink them. She said that her son would be

I want to marry a young lady from a rich family. How can I allow my low bloodline to give birth to a legitimate son and daughter of a high family? The same is true for the other two concubines. That day, my body was bleeding profusely and I had unbearable abdominal pain. I knelt in front of him.

We begged and begged him to save our child. But what about him?" Yang Ling'er smiled sarcastically, biting her lips and teeth: "I will never forget his cold eyes, mockingly forgetting me, and saying every word.

: Are you worthy of giving birth to my child? He ignored me and went to appease the second-room concubine who was also born. I know that he already knew that I was just a lowly maid who was married on behalf of others, but he was

How could he be willing to be forced by the mercenary magistrate to become the head wife? My presence reminds him all the time how incompetent and useless he is. He hates me and can't tolerate me...but I love him, I love him so much, haha

….”

Yang Ling'er laughed like crazy, smiled and suddenly began to cry miserably: "I just pity my unborn child, he has just taken shape, he is curled up in a small ball... woo woo

..I’m useless...I can’t even protect my own child..."

Ye Kexin was startled and quickly pricked several of Yang Ling'er's big points with needles. Only then did Yang Ling'er recover. Ye Kexin hugged Yang Ling'er's trembling body tightly like a fallen leaf, and couldn't bear to say: "Don't say

It’s over, it’s all over.”

"No, I want to say it. If I don't say it today, I will never have another chance in the future." Yang Ling'er pushed Ye Kexin away and choked with sobs: "It was raining heavily that day. There was a letter from my family saying that my mother was dying and she wanted to see me for the last time.

On the one hand, I knelt in front of him for five hours, begging him to allow me to go back to see my mother off for the last time. Not only did he not allow it, he locked me in the woodshed. I sneaked out, and he actually asked someone to interrupt me.
