Chapter 77: Wei family tragedy
Chapter 77 The Tragedy of the Wei Family
The teenager didn't answer directly. He looked at Ye Anlan, his voice was hoarse and jerky when he spoke. He asked Ye Anlan, "Are you, a woman?"
Ye Anlan was taken aback for a moment, but she never thought of hiding this from anyone, and wearing men's clothes was just for the convenience of movement.
In the black-hearted matchmaker's house, whether it's Li Jing or Chang'an, they always call her "Miss Ye", so it's not surprising that Wei Zhen heard her.
She nodded, "Yes, I am a woman."
Whilst speaking, Ye Anlan wondered in her heart—could this young man be a little old-fashioned with a serious idea of male superiority and female inferiority, thinking that women should not show their faces, fight and kill, and must stay out of the door?
If this is the case, then she is afraid that she will spend more time teaching him the cruelty of this world (her fist).
While thinking about it, Ye Anlan heard Wei Zhen slowly say, "I am also a woman."
Ye Anlan:? ? ?
Ye Anlan:! !
"What did you say?" She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
Wei Zhen glanced at her, as if to say, are you deaf?
Ye Anlan scratched her face, then subconsciously turned her head to look left and right.
Although with her hearing ability, no one except Chang'an would be able to eavesdrop on her conversation with Wei Zhen, but thinking of Wei Zhen's refusal to tell her her name before, Ye Anlan subconsciously wanted to check the surrounding environment again. .
After all, Wei Zhen is different from her. She lived in a relatively free and open modern society for the first 30 years, and lived in the dangerous apocalypse of "being able to live every day" for the next ten years. demanding ancient society.
Now she understands why Wei Zhen shook his head and refused even to tell her her name.
A woman fell into the hands of human traffickers, and the spitting stars of her neighbors alone could drown her. In this case, whether it is for himself or for his family, Wei Zhen must do his best to keep the secret.
"Do you often wear men's clothes?" After calming down, Ye Anlan asked a question that had nothing to do with Wei Zhen's current situation.
Wei Zhen nodded.
The frustration in Ye Anlan's heart disappeared immediately. She just said, it's not that she has bad eyesight, it's that Wei Zhen is too experienced, and her appearance is too impeccable ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
Having found an excuse for her lameness, Ye Anlan cautiously asked about Wei Zhen's change of mind.
"Although I am glad that you are willing to join us, there are some questions I still want to ask in advance."
"Of course, you don't have to answer. If you don't want to answer, just tell me that you don't want to answer."
"Also, if my question offends you, you"
"Ask." Wei Zhen listened patiently to Ye Anlan's ramblings at the beginning, but in the end Ye Anlan rambled endlessly, and Wei Zhen's little patience was wiped out.
After being interrupted in the middle of her speech, Ye Anlan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt somewhat helpless and depressed.
She coughed, "Can you tell me about you? Who are your parents, are there any brothers and sisters, and why did you suddenly change your mind and decide to leave with us?"
"My father was a sixth-rank military officer when he was alive. When my mother was pregnant with me, he died in battle protecting the imperial envoy."
"After I was born, my grandmother asked me to pretend to be a boy, practice martial arts, and inherit the favored official position my father bought with his life."
"The day before yesterday, I went out to a banquet, and my cousin happened to be there. He put medicine in my tea. When I woke up again, I was already at the prostitute's house."
“When I got home, I found that my grandmother and mother had been nailed into the coffin. I split the coffin open.”
Probably because she seldom speaks, when she speaks a little longer sentences, she subconsciously speaks very slowly, but even so, Ye Anlan can hear the strong hatred in her heart from her occasional pauses and choking meaning and sadness.
She raised her hand and patted Wei Zhen's shoulder lightly, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it anymore."
Wei Zhen shook his head, she had already finished the most cruel part for her, and there was nothing to say about the rest.
"My grandmother and mother were strangled to death. I killed my second uncle's family."
Ye Anlan was taken aback. She never imagined that this girl could be so violent.
Seeing her widening eyes, Wei Zhen thought that she disapproved of his behavior, so the corners of his lips could not help but press into a straight line.
Ye Anlan came to her senses at this moment, and she praised Wei Zhen from the bottom of her heart, "You have done a good job, you have killed your enemies for your grandmother and mother, and if they come to know them, they will be proud of you." .”
Wei Zhen didn't speak. If she had a choice, she would rather not have to kill her own enemies, and would rather her mother and grandmother would still surround her at home with smiles as before.
She hated her grandfather who insisted on taking concubines because his family was not rich, but because he finally became a seventh-rank official from a young age.
Hate him for pampering concubines and bastards, making her grandmother and father in a difficult situation.
Hate that before he died, he had to replace his son with a concubine, and gave his seventh-rank official position to the concubine, so that her father had to fight with his life.
Hate him for raising the concubine's heart. Even though the family has already separated, she still misses the sixth-rank official position that her father bought with his life.
Even though he died fifteen years ago, Wei Zhen still felt that he was the chief culprit of all these tragedies.
"The funeral of your grandmother and mother..."
"I've already done it."
Although Wei Zhen's second uncle killed his aunt and sister-in-law in a fit of anger, it was only because they did not choose to accept their fate as he expected.
He used his wife's dowry money to clear up the relationship. The official in charge of this matter has promised to transfer to him the official position of grace that should have belonged to Wei Zhen after he became an adult, but the premise is that the Wei family will hold a funeral for Wei Zhen and declare Wei Zhen to the world. dead.
Second Uncle Wei Zhen went to Wei Zhen's house the day after he sold Wei Zhen, in order to put this matter into practice as soon as possible, and forced Wei Zhen's grandmother and mother to arrange a funeral for Wei Zhen.
Wei Zhen's grandmother and mother are busy looking for their children. His visit is tantamount to directly giving clues to Wei Zhen's two elders.
Wei Zhen's grandmother forced him to question him, deceived him with words, and threatened to sue his son for murdering his cousin. Wei Zhen's second uncle was flustered and angry, and on the spur of the moment, he and his two long-term attendants strangled him to death. Wei Zhen's grandmother.
The cause of Wei Zhen's grandmother's death can be hidden from outsiders, but not from Wei Zhen's mother. In desperation, Wei Zhen's second uncle can only make her "excessively sad and die suddenly" with Wei Zhen's grandmother.
Based on deliberate calculations and unintentional calculations, Second Uncle Wei Zhen easily "killed" Wei Zhen's mother who had gone out for a day and returned home tired and panicked.
