There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 1043|The ninety-sixth dragon scale (5)
The ninety-sixth dragon scale (five)
The four girls, who had not slept all night, woke up early the next morning and looked bad. The maid asked a few questions. She only said that she was a little uncomfortable, but she went to the old lady's yard to serve her as always.
Because of her affairs with her eldest brother, the old lady who had loved her very much also changed her attitude towards her, which made the four girls very sad. In this house, except for her father, only her grandmother loved her the most. There is too little love for her, so as long as you give her a little bit, she will be grateful to Dade, for fear of losing it.
When she fell in love with her eldest brother, she never thought about how disappointed she would be if she was found out by her grandmother, so she was always hesitant about how to accept it. Facts have indeed proved that the union between her eldest brother and her cannot be blessed by her family, but now the imperial decree has been Now, their marriage contract is already a certainty, the old lady can't do anything, and her heart is not made of stone, so she has a better attitude towards the four girls.
But for the four girls, she is very satisfied that the grandmother is willing to see herself, no longer speak coldly to herself, and is not disappointed with herself.
She has thought more than once that, in her embarrassing position, where she lives in the mansion without a proper name, what will she do in the future?
If the old lady can choose a family for her, it is her destiny. Her life is never in her hands, and she has never had the opportunity to make her own choices.
The old lady had a light expression when she saw the fourth girl, apparently because of the marriage, she didn't agree with her. The four girls can understand the old lady's thoughts. The eldest brother is first-rate in appearance and skill, and even the princess is worthy. Why did he choose a wife whose background is unknown and can't bring him any help? And after the marriage agreement between the two, the old lady arranged a few maids to serve the eldest brother, but they were all rejected by the eldest brother, which made the old lady's impression of her even worse.
But the fourth girl is not willing to give up the person she likes. What she is looking forward to most now is to get married quickly, and then accompany her eldest brother to go out, and spend the days with only each other.
However, after yesterday's dream is not a dream, the four girls have countless doubts in their hearts.
As soon as my father died, my grandmother brought herself to raise her. The first time she learned that she was in love with her eldest brother was not surprised but annoyed. It means that the grandmother already knew that they were not biological brothers and sisters. So, does it prove that the grandmother also knew Who are your biological parents? If it's really the first prince and the first prince... why did Dad dare to take such a big risk to keep himself in the mansion?
The most important thing is that the four girls faintly know that Daddy was the prince's staff back then, but after the death of the prince, all the prince's lineage has surrendered to the present, and most of them have been reused, but Daddy has not. This is why the grandmother wants to revitalize The reason for the lintel.
If the princess was pregnant when the first prince was assassinated, why was he brought back when he was three years old?
The fourth girl had a headache, and she remembered the woman's desperate kiss and the sound of the sharp blade piercing her body. She only left her mother after the age of three. The body of the first prince was not the real first prince. The real first prince was transferred and lived a few more years. The person who transferred the first prince was probably the prince's staff at that time. It was her adoptive father, the second master of the house.
When the prince travels, even if it is a private visit in a micro server, he must be fully prepared. Who released the news of the prince's departure from the palace, otherwise how could assassins be attracted?
Four girls have too many questions. She both wants to know the answer and is afraid of the answer. She is afraid that the answer will tear the life in front of her to shreds. She is afraid of too many things.
The old lady noticed that she was distracted, and couldn't help but snorted: "If you don't want to serve, don't come to serve, it's like my old wife treated you badly."
The fourth girl regained her senses and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty. The old lady was just having a mouthful of words, so she didn't embarrass her and told her to get up, "You don't need to wait on me, go back."
In the past, the four girls must have stayed. She was grateful to her grandmother for raising her, but instead of repaying herself, she fell in love with her eldest brother, and lived up to her grandmother's expectations. There are too many doubts, she has no intention to think about anything else.
How much does this seemingly loving grandmother know?
That night, the fourth girl had another dream. This time, she clearly saw the woman's face. She was very thin and sad. She was holding a small baby girl in her arms. There was a man When I came to see her, I said some affectionate words to her, but the woman was not moved. Instead, she spoke harshly and fiercely to the other party. The four girls heard it clearly, and the woman said: You betrayed His Highness!
The person who spoke affectionately knelt down to her, raised his head again, and the four girls saw that familiar and unfamiliar face in a trance - it was the deceased father!
She screamed and woke up from her dream. The blood butterfly appeared again in her sight. The butterfly flapped its wings gently. Four girls looked at it. She rubbed her forehead, not knowing what to do.
This dream made her unable to lie down at ease. She thought and thought, but she got up and put on her coat, quietly opened the door, and walked towards the eldest son's courtyard.
The blood butterfly was always around her. When she pushed the door in, the eldest son who was still in the study was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a gentle smile: "Why are you here? The people outside didn't tell me. It's so late. , why are you wearing so many clothes?"
Speaking, he took his coat and put it on the four girls.
The jacket still carried the warmth on his body, which is the breath that the four girls depended on very much. She lowered her head and didn't know how to speak for a while. She ran over with an impulse, but when she got to the end, she began to be afraid, afraid. That might be true.
"I had a dream, brother."
"Are you frightened by a nightmare?" The eldest son chuckled and took her slender shoulders. "You can tell me that I'm here."
"I dreamed about my mother."
The eldest son paused for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed: "Isn't this normal? You had a serious illness when you were three years old, and you forgot all about the past..."
"But I remember it all now."
She avoided the eldest son's hand, he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the hurt in his eyes, and when he looked at her again, he was still as gentle as always: "It's good to think about it, but what's wrong with your own body? "
"Who is my father?" Four girls asked directly, "Big brother, do you know? Then tell me, who is my father?"
The eldest son looked at her silently, before saying after a while: "It doesn't matter who your father is, what matters is that we can finally be together, and we will have a new life in the future. …”
"Did the second master hurt my father?"
The eldest son was shocked: "Minmin——"
"My father is the first prince who was assassinated, and my mother is the first prince concubine who disappeared in that assassination, isn't it? Big brother? I want you to answer me honestly and honestly, don't lie to me." Clenching his fists, he stared at the eldest son, waiting for his answer.
He just looked at her, but couldn't say yes or no, but this tacit attitude alone has proved everything, the four girls let out a whimper, she turned around and ran, she couldn't stay here any longer!
The eldest son rushed over and grabbed her, hugging her from behind, for fear of losing her completely if he let go: "Minmin, Minmin, listen to me, listen to me!"
"What is there to say!" Four girls burst into tears, "Am I still thankful for the grace of raising me over the years!"
The eldest son put his arms around her: "Minmin! Don't go, I'll tell you everything you want to know."
She was left behind in the end, but the eldest son was not allowed to touch her. The man who usually does everything in his heart is like an abandoned puppy, standing pitifully, like a reprimanded child. The four girls told everything.
Her dreams are real.
As the second master of the former prince's staff, he also planned for the former prince at first, until he met the former prince's concubine - a beautiful, gentle, fairy-like woman, he quickly fell in love, but because of his identity Don't dare to say anything, the first prince and the first prince are very affectionate. Apart from giving birth to a son for the first prince, the first prince soon became pregnant again, and the second master is also in love day after day. , turned love into a strong jealousy of the first prince.
He was courageous and talented, and was highly valued by the former prince. However, because of this jealousy, he chose to join Jin Shang, who was still the prince at the time, and leaked the whereabouts of the former prince, which led to the assassination of the former prince, and he He vowed to save the first princess to the death, got her gratitude and respect, placed her outside, and accompanied her to give birth to four girls.
But the paper couldn't contain the fire. The first prince finally noticed the abnormality of the second master. After questioning the second master and getting his kneeling, she chose to follow the first prince, leaving behind the three-year-old at the time. daughter.
The second master lost his love, and the fourth girl was frightened by her mother's suicide. She fell ill and forgot everything when she woke up. The second master took her back to the mansion and raised her as his own daughter.
The old lady knew what he did, but how could she have the heart to blame her son?
After the death of the first princess, the second master also quickly lost his will to live. He passed away within a few years. Before he died, he asked the old lady to take care of the fourth girl, and the old lady asked the fourth girl to come to her side. .
The second lady had long known that her husband loved someone else, but she still wanted to marry. Even if she could not get anything, she had to occupy the identity of his wife. Naturally, she had a grudge against the fourth girl.
The eldest son also heard the secret words between the second master and the old lady before he died, and only then did he know that he was not blood related to the fourth girl. He has been sending people to investigate in private since then, and only then did he know the identity of the fourth girl.
He thinks about getting rid of all the insiders, or those who may deduce the identity of the Fourth Young Lady. In this case, even if some people think that she is similar to the first princess, there is no evidence. I saw her today, You can't kill her just because she looks alike.
After he finished speaking, he saw that the fourth girl was still crying, and he was very sad: "Minmin..."
Four girls only feel like a numbness in her heart. She should be in pain, but her heart is empty, as if something precious has been broken. She has been lonely since she was a child, and only her father who loves her is a rare beauty in her memory. But now the elder brother told her that everything was fake. Although her father loved her, he was also the murderer of her biological parents. She thought she was an illegitimate daughter with a humble identity and unknown father, but she clearly had a father. You have a mother, she may have had a very happy home——
"And what about my brother?" she asked, trembling, "is he still alive?"
The eldest son said slowly: "After the death of the first prince, the eldest grandson of the emperor contracted smallpox and died."
Today, the eldest grandson of the emperor must not be allowed to survive, even if he is still young, but who can guarantee that the eldest grandson of the emperor will grow up one day and will not be disobedient? After all, the reason why the first prince will die is because of the handwriting of today. If the king wins or loses, only the victor will have the conditions to write history. Now that the emperor sits firmly on the dragon chair, how can he tolerate other threats?
The four girls stood up in a hurry: "...I'll go first."
"Minmin!" The eldest son held her, his voice trembling slightly, "No matter what, please don't give up on me, between us..."
The four girls broke free from his hand and refused his approach. She was silent for a long time before raising her tearful eyes: "Brother, I want to ask you a question, you must answer me truthfully."
"You ask." As long as she asked, he would answer.
"If... I mean if." Four girls said slowly, "If eldest brother didn't fall in love with me, would he tell me about my background?"
The eldest son was stunned.
He has no way to lie to the person he loves. If he didn't fall in love with Siguniang, he would definitely not check too much after learning about her background. Even if he found out, he would only think she was hot. Potato will want to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to bring disaster to the family.
How can there be so many ifs in the world? He just fell in love with her, he was willing to go up and down for her, and he was willing to give everything for her.
"Big brother won't tell me, right?" the fourth girl murmured, "I will be sent away early, married far away, like the... illegitimate daughters in other families, and will spend the rest of my life dead and alive. It has nothing to do with her family..."
She used to be most afraid of this, only the elder brother was the rare light in her life. She saw it and got it, so she wanted to hold on to it and not let it go. Because she was in love with him, she smiled and even thanked him Through God, I can send him to her side.
But what about the truth?
"Min Min!"
The four girls threw off the eldest son's hand and turned around and ran. The eldest son wanted to catch up, but just took a step, but he remembered her tears of despair. The inner guilt, struggle, and pain were intertwined, making him hopeless. Face your loved one.
He just wants to quietly dispose of those who might expose her identity and put her in danger in private, which is why he wants to go out so much and live in a place where there is only each other. He will use his own hands to give her a new and complete home, bring her glory and make her envied.
But now it's all messed up.
Who told her this? Minmin is the most well-behaved. If someone hadn't talked more beside her, how would she know?
Could it be that someone has been prepared to harm her?
Nowadays, he has a suspicious personality. If he learns that the first prince still has an orphan, he will definitely kill Minmin. No, he has to find out quickly, and he must not put her in danger!
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, the four girls ran all the way back to their yard, seeing this familiar place, the memory of living here for 16 years flooded like a tide. When Daddy was still alive, he often taught her to write and read, and read stories to her. At that time, she didn't understand why Daddy always looked at her with such strange eyes, but now she realizes that it was guilt and yearning. After her father died, she was neither loved nor loved. Even if she was raised by her grandmother, she had to be careful to please her, for fear that she would be kicked out of the house.
Because of my humble status, I didn't dare to resist the bullying from other sisters. I always felt inferior to my mother, but, what did she do wrong?
What did her biological parents do wrong?
The memories from before the age of three came back, and my mother often hugged her and looked at the sky, as if she was still waiting for someone.
But she waited too long and couldn't wait, so even her daughter left to follow the man.
Big brother... Big brother is also very good to himself. When he was young, he was often bullied by his sisters. Only big brother would protect her and reprimand others. Big brother would carry her back in the winter and teach others when she was ridiculed. , will give her medicine, buy her some fresh gadgets that are only available outside, sugar figures, donkey rolls, vivid clay sculptures... These are all things she has never seen before. The eldest brother who returns to the house every day is four The girl's only expectation at home.
When the age gets older, the eldest brother will still take care of her and protect her. He is really kind to her. If there is anything good, he will think of her as soon as possible. He also arranged a loyal servant girl for her. I am not used to her, and I often want to rectify her, but the result is blocked by the elder brother, and even the elder brother will help her get revenge back.
The person who bullied her didn't even get angry with her. Big brother couldn't stand it anymore.
So they fell in love logically, even if this love encountered too many opposition and obstacles, even if she was ridiculed countless times, she still wanted to be with him, wanted to seize the light that belonged to her, and did not want to return to Go in the cold life.
She doesn't want to be married away and never see him again.
She was really happy and happy when she learned that they were not biological brothers and sisters, but now, she actually thinks that it would be good if they were biological brothers and sisters. In that case, at least her sixteen years of life were fate. Caused, not man-made deception.
Every day she lived here was full of fear, low self-esteem, and anxiety. She thought she was going to keep the clouds open and see the moon, but she never thought that there was another unacceptable truth waiting.
The four girls folded their legs and hugged themselves, from a silent cry that was forbearance to an uncontrollable wailing.
Poor and ridiculous, like a puppet, the joys, sorrows and sorrows are controlled by others, and the life is confused and unclear.
Dad is not her father, he is the enemy who killed her biological parents, and his lover is not her lover, he is a spectator who used to stand on the sidelines, that scorching love has become so cold for some unknown reason, making her teeth up and down trembling.
He said he was hiding it because he loved her, but what if he didn't love her?
How long can this love last? It turns out that her life depends on the love of others to survive. When others make her cry, she will cry, and if she laughs, she will laugh. She is like a caged bird, tricked and deceived, her wings are broken, and she does not even let her see the sky.
The tears couldn't stop until something seemed to be on the back of her hand, the fourth girl raised her head, and the tears ran down the arc of her beautiful cheeks.
It's the blood butterfly again.
"Are you..."
She murmured and asked, the blood butterfly suddenly opened its wings, the fourth girl subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened it again, she found that there was a girl in red in the room.
That red dress really seemed to be dyed red with blood, beautiful and bewitching.
The four girls were taken aback.
"Your father was very much looking forward to your birth."
The girl in red said lightly, "He often sticks his ears to your mother's belly, imagining what a cute little girl you will be after you are born, the jewel in his palm, the little princess he loves the most, Your family of four could have been very happy."
"But it's all like a bubble. Who destroyed such happiness?"
Yeah, who destroyed it?
The four girls thought.
"Your eldest brother, he keeps saying that he loves you, and it seems that he really loves you, but is this kind of love enough?" The girl in red stretched out her hand, slightly bent her index finger, and a blood-colored butterfly landed gracefully. "Love is charity. If you don't find it, you will be grateful for Dade to live with his love for him for the rest of your life. However, after decades of life, how long can his love for you last? For this illusory love, give up resentment, Is it worth it?"
"You are entitled to resentment."
Yes, she is entitled to resentment. If it wasn't for the betrayal of the second master, her biological parents would not have died, and neither would her brother. She would not rely on others as an illegitimate daughter, and would not have lived in trepidation. year.
And if the eldest brother doesn't fall in love with her, maybe she won't know her life experience until she dies, and she won't know that the so-called benefactor is an enemy.
"You should have been your father's pampered little princess, but now you're down to this, an old woman who is dying, what is her identity? She can tell you what to do, ask you to kneel to serve, your parents know it, I'm afraid that I can't even live as a ghost."
The four girls took a breath.
"Have a grudge."
"The love they give you is real, love is beautiful and worth cherishing, but the resentment that this love breeds can make you strong, so that you don't have to be a poor wag your tail anymore, love makes people Weakness, hatred is what you have to do, hate it, hate all those who stand in your way, hate your stumbling blocks, hate your enemies—"
The four girls seemed to be persuaded. She clenched her fists, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
Yeah, she should have resented, hated the second master who killed her parents, hated the old lady who knew she was innocent but still concealed the truth, hated the elder brother who said she loved her, but made her confused... …Love makes people weak, and resentment born of love is powerful.
