Chapter Eighty-Four: I Forgot
Because of the relationship between the two lives, Li Xin looks very old on weekdays, even when facing the two Nanshu assassins, Li Xin did not mess up, but at this time, this young man was angry in his heart, and he was already a little out of shape.
Li Shen sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, his face calm: "Your mother...... Did you say anything to you before you left? ”
Li Xin's face was indifferent and he didn't say a word.
Before his mother's death, because she had been bullied, she rarely spoke, and sometimes she would not say a word for several days, and kept everything in her heart until she was about to die, when this poor woman who had been scolded by her hometown for more than ten years called Li Xin to the bedside and asked Li Xin to go to the capital to find her father.
It was a pure-hearted woman, she didn't have the slightest idea of letting her son be rich and noble, and the reason why she let Li Xin go to the capital was just that she was worried that after she left, her son would have no one to take care of, and she wanted her son to go to the capital to find a place to eat.
She knew Li Shen's identity, if she was a person who coveted wealth and nobility, she would have left for the capital a long time ago, and she would not have pulled her son to such a big point alone.
These "memories", when Li Xin dreamed back at midnight, had already experienced them over and over again, and at this time, he saw the culprit in front of him who had no sorrow and no joy, and he felt an indescribable hatred in his heart.
"Master Li, if there is nothing to do, please leave your house."
Li Xin looked indifferent: "There is nothing to tell you about the family affairs below, it is already night at this time, and I have to get food for my sister." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at the middle-aged man in plain clothes in front of him and said coldly: "If you are here, I will not be able to eat." ”
Li Shen was not angry, he looked up at the young man in front of him, and his voice was calm: "You hate me very much." ”
Li Xin shook his head and said: "I don't hate you, the person who should hate you is dead, I just look at you disgustingly." ”
Li Xin's words were originally about another "Li Xin" who was frozen to death, but in the ears of Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, there was another layer of flavor.
He nodded slowly and said softly, "Your mother should hate me, and I am indeed sorry for her." ”
Having said this, Li Xin couldn't bear it anymore.
He took two steps forward and said expressionlessly: "Since Hou Ye Li has this thought, why haven't you looked for her for more than ten years?" ”
Li Xin's mother was originally just a girl in the countryside, her family background was not bad, and she had not suffered too much since she was a child, but because she had a child out of wedlock, she was abused and ridiculed by the villagers, and later she was kicked out, but for more than ten years, she did not confide in outsiders about Li Shen, nor did she complain to outsiders.
This poor woman buried all her suffering in her heart and finally brought it into the earth.
The current Li Xin can no longer be regarded as her son, or not completely as her son, but when Li Xin saw the memory of this woman, he inevitably felt a little touched in his heart.
It was a gentle woman, for more than ten years, she was gentle every time, except for "Li Xin" when she fought with others because of the "insults" of others, she would fight a few times with a broomstick, and the rest of the time, she never had a single fire on Li Xin.
Such a gentle woman should have been treated gently by life, but God treated her very badly, and forced her to suffer for a lifetime.
Even until her death, her name was not engraved on the tombstone, because her mother's family felt ashamed, and there was no in-law family who could recognize her.
Thinking of this, Li Xin's voice became excited, he looked coldly at the Pingnanhou in front of him, and hissed: "With your power, even if you don't have to go by yourself, as long as you say a word, she can live a good life!" ”
"When she died, she was not yet thirty-three years old!"
Li Xin has just turned sixteen this year, and Li Xin's mother happened to be sixteen years old when she saw this Pingnanhou.
Li Shen recuperated in Yongzhou for three months, and she gave birth to Li Xin at the age of seventeen.
At the age of thirty-three, some women in later generations may not be married, and they are the same age as flowers, but Li Xin's mother suffered a lot from the world at this age, and she left because of a cold.
Facing Li Xin's questioning, this Pingnanhou still had no expression, his eyelids moved, and finally he spoke indifferently.
"Forget."
"Forgot?!"
Li Xin's eyes were red by these two words, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Li Shen's placket, and hissed: "You said you forgot?!" ”
Li Shen looked down at Li Xin's hand on his chest, took a few steps back indifferently, squinted his eyes and said: "After I left Yongzhou, I took over the position of Pingnanhou, and then I traveled between the capital and southern Xinjiang all the year round, and I was busy with national affairs..."
With that, he looked up at the young man in front of him, his voice calm.
"You haven't experienced that state, you shouldn't understand, and in that case, it's naturally easy to forget something inconsequential."
Li Xin's eyes were scarlet, and his body trembled slightly.
He had seen a lot of scumbags in his previous life, but it was the first time he had seen such a reasonable person as a scumbag.
Li Xin put his hands on the saber at his waist, and an urge to pull out the knife and cut people welled up in his heart, this impulse was extremely strong, and Li Xin could only grit his teeth to barely hold back.
"You don't have to be so angry."
Li Shen stood up from the stone bench, looked at Li Xin's right hand pressed on the hilt, and smiled: "My Li family has practiced martial arts for generations, and with you now, ten will not be my opponents, so it's better not to use force." ”
Li Xin looked at Li Shen, his eyes almost choosing someone.
Li Shen turned a blind eye to Li Xin's gaze, he put his hands behind his back, and said to himself: "This incident back then, in retrospect, it was indeed that I couldn't live with your mother, originally you went to Beijing to look for me, I should compensate you for it, at least I should give you a future." ”
"But ......"
Li Shen looked up at the young man in front of him, and said indifferently: "But you just got involved with the Seventh Prince, then the fate between us will be broken, although I can't stand you and your mother, but there are still many people's lives behind my Li family, and for these people, I will never let the Li family fall into the battle for succession." ”
"So ......"
Li Shen stood up straight and looked at the young man in front of him: "So although you are indeed my son, the Pingnan Hou Mansion has nothing to do with you, and in the future, you will not have anything different from ordinary people in the capital." ”
Speaking of this, the general of the Zhu Kingdom said with a smile: "Therefore, when you are jumping around in the capital in the future, you have to think about your identity clearly, if you don't know whether you are alive or dead like before, it is very likely that you will really die." ”
Speaking of this, Li Shen turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate, and when he reached the courtyard gate, he glanced back at Li Xin.
"Finally, I advise you, the prince seizing the heir is the most dangerous thing in the world, although some people can make a lot of money in it, but there are also people who have no bones in it."
"Especially people like you who don't have the capital to bet, often die miserably."
He said yes, and he was going to leave Li Xin's courtyard.
Li Xin clenched his hands into fists fiercely, and his nails almost pierced into the flesh.
He rarely made such a gaffe, but he was really angry with this Pingnan Hou.
"Master Li, I have something to return to you."
Li Shen stopped and smiled indifferently.
Li Xin took out the white jade plate with the word "Shen" from his waist and slammed it to the ground.
Jade is a brittle thing, and when it touches a stone slab, it immediately shatters into several pieces.
"It's just my mother, seventeen years ago, I met a dog."
"I'll give you back this brand on her behalf!"
This brand was handed to the girl when Li Shen left Yongzhou, and the little marquis said at that time that it would not be long before he would return to Yongzhou to marry her.
But she didn't wait for the sedan chair.
Li Shen narrowed his eyes, and finally bent down, picked up a few pieces of debris on the ground, and put them in his sleeves.
"This jade plaque was enough for you to beg me to do something, but unfortunately, you didn't cherish it."
With that, the general of the Zhu State left Li Xin's courtyard with his hands in hand.
"It's windy in the capital, you can do it yourself."
