Chapter 443 Who is jealous?
Chapter 443 Who is jealous?
After the two of them restored a peaceful atmosphere, Baili Moqing took her hand and walked towards the pavilion on the east side.
The scenery there is pleasant, with mountains and water, and it is a good place for conversation.
The mist lotus flowers are in full bloom on the lake, dazzling and gorgeous. The faint lotus fragrance makes people feel cheerful instantly.
"I'm telling you this, not to provoke you."
"I mean, your two brothers might not hate you as much as you see."
Shu He's expression, which had just relaxed, turned slightly cold again. She withdrew her hand and stared at him, "What do you want to say?"
Baili Moqing knew that she still had some grudges against Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi, so she was unhappy to hear about them.
But, there are some things that maybe he would be more appropriate to say.
"Did you know that Shu Yuanqing built a cenotaph for you?"
Shu He looked at him and couldn't help but show sarcasm on his face, "Why should I know about this? Building a cenotaph, is that a good thing?"
"That was not what I meant."
"What I meant is that every year on the fifth day of the second lunar month, Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi will go to your cenotaph together and stay there for the entire day."
Shu He, who didn't want to listen anymore, was stunned at this moment.
"You should know what the fifth day of the second lunar month is, right?"
"Your birthday."
"They didn't choose your 'death anniversary' to commemorate you, but chose your birthday..."
Baili Moqing stared at her, and seeing the pain and struggle in her eyes, his heart ached slightly.
"You have to know that at that time, the news of your death had just spread, and your reputation was at its worst!"
"If it's really like you think, that Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi have always looked down on you and hated you, would they really take the trouble to build a cenotaph for you?"
Every year on her birthday, I go to pay tribute to her and accompany her.
"Later, Shu Yuanqing disappeared in an accident and was eventually reported dead. Your second brother, Shu Yuanqi, built a tomb for him next to yours."
"These two cenotaphs are in a cave on the hillside behind Shanghe Mansion."
"After I returned to Beijing, I went to the cenotaph once. I wanted to fill it up, but when I got there, I discovered that there were actually more than two cenotaphs in the cave."
"Shu Yuanqi even built his own cenotaph..."
"I think he has already prepared to die at any time."
Shu He sat by the waterside pavilion, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The cave on the back mountain of Shanghe Mansion was where her eldest brother often took her and her second brother to play when they were young.
That was their secret base, where half of their mother's ashes were buried. It was a secret known only to the three of them.
The eldest brother also said that the three of them would be buried here in the future, and they couldn't let their mother stay alone in this dark and cold cave without anyone to accompany her.
Unexpectedly, they would actually erect her cenotaph in that place.
It turns out that the two brothers never forgot the agreement they made when they were young!
So, they don't hate themselves as much as they appear, right?
But those harsh words and disgusted looks were still vivid in her mind. Could it be that what she saw with her own eyes was fake?
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
She seemed to have made a bet with herself, and if she shed tears, she would lose.
Baili Moqing stepped forward and pressed his fingers against the corners of her eyes.
She turned her head subconsciously, her eyes relaxed, and pearly tears instantly fell. Her charming and bright face was like the petals of a crabapple tree after a spring rain, making people feel uncontrollably pity.
He whispered in her ear in the gentlest tone he had ever used in his life.
"Perhaps they were indeed deceived by the false images, but I also believe that their affection for you is real."
"Perhaps, some harsh words were spoken simply out of frustration; or perhaps it was because, when I was young and frivolous, I couldn't accept the strange looks others would give me because of you."
"In the heat of their anger, they said some bad things to you and did some bad things."
"But have you ever thought that maybe they also want to communicate with you and have a good chat?"
"It's just that there's a villain standing between you two. That villain has caused the brother and sister who should have been so loving to go their separate ways, and to drift further and further apart..."
Shu He looked at him, his chest aching, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know something?"
If he didn't know some inside information, he wouldn't say such a thing.
He nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes. "In Beisha City, after you left, I talked to Shu Yuanqi."
When he learned that his biological sister was right in front of him but he didn't recognize her, he burst into tears several times.
The shame and regret on her face made him feel uncomfortable.
"He said that at that time, they wanted to talk to you many times, but you refused to see them..."
Shu He was shocked.
She doesn't want to see them? They are obviously...
The thoughts in my mind came to an abrupt halt, and suddenly I thought of a person: Qiu Ju.
Shu Yue!
It's her again!
No wonder she sent a maid to herself, and no wonder Qiuju always stood outside her yard at that time, not knowing who she was talking to.
At that time, she thought that Qiu Ju hated her and that was why she didn't want to stay under the same roof with her or confide in her. It turned out that she was just following orders and rejecting some people she "shouldn't" meet!
Haha, this half-sister of hers is so thoughtful!
Qiu Ju completely isolated her from the world...
Baili Moqing said nothing more.
There was no need to explain many things too clearly. After all, this was her own business. Whether it was a brother or an enemy, she had to understand it herself.
"I'm leaving Kyoto tomorrow. When I come back, Nanqi will be able to bring Yi'er back. Then we'll set off for Anzhou to see Grandpa."
I don't know if he did it on purpose, but Shu He's feeling of loss was indeed brought out by his words.
"Is Nanqi back?"
Xizhu said that Baili Moqing found out that Nanqi helped her escape, and Nanqi was punished to reflect on his mistakes in the mountains. He did not come down the mountain for several months, and no one talked to him.
It's like being banished to the cold palace.
With his temper, I don't know how he got through those months.
Later, her identity was exposed, and Baili Moqing transferred Nanqi out.
But, didn’t he go to the Zhenbei Army?
"Humph, you two have a good relationship! One would rather betray his master to help you, and the other one, who hasn't even sorted out his own affairs, is thinking about caring about him!"
Shu He heard a hint of sourness in these words, and he didn't know whose jealousy was overturned.
