Chapter 570: Old Story (3)
If Su Wanyun hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, Ye Jingnian would probably never know the truth behind it.
"Creation makes people. Soon the woman was with another man, supposedly in love. Your grandfather was unwilling to let the woman he loved lose to him, and finally confessed his secret love to the woman before he got married, and sent her the box. ”
"The night before the woman married another man, she wrote a letter to your grandfather. She told him in the letter, 'If you know that you have intentions, you don't dare to refute your feelings, if you have the will to live in the next life, you will travel a thousand miles together', and then she returned the box. ”
"It turned out that the woman didn't know your grandfather when she regretted her marriage, and she didn't know that your grandfather had a deep love for her. She just blindly dislikes family marriages, thinking that your grandfather chose to marry her because of interests. ”
Ye Jingnian secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't expect the rumored grandfather of the Ye family to be unsmiling to attach so much importance to a relationship.
She ...... How did you go? That decade......"
Ye Jingnian wanted to ask, in those ten years, the two families were hostile, how did grandpa always love her?
"The person she married later was not a high-ranking official, just a friend of hers, and the man approached her as love at first sight, in fact, to borrow her family to ascend to the throne, and before they got married, they already had children, and there was no way out."
"After being repented, your great-grandfather was furious and swore that the Ye family and that woman's family would never get along with each other in this life."
Ye Jingnian was puzzled, "In that case, why did grandpa marry you ten years later?" ”
Su Wanyun looked at Ye Jingnian and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Nian, this secret is only known to me in the world. Because ten years later, the woman died. ”
“……”
A creepy answer came out of Su Wanyun's mouth.
"That woman is not happy after marriage, her husband has one thing on the surface, one thing behind her back, and even has an affair with another woman. The woman tried many ways to divorce her husband, but without success...... She was depressed and died with hatred. ”
Ye Jingnian's heart was cold.
"Your grandfather exchanged letters with that woman during those ten years, and I only found out many years later. Because the two families were already opposed at that time, no one doubted that your grandfather would not give up on the woman who humiliated him. ”
"Grandpa, he can delay himself for ten years for a woman......"
"There's so much more your grandfather can do. In those ten years, the old stubborns in the family persuaded him to get married, persuade him to have children, and persuade him to make due contributions to the continuation of the family's incense, but he was unwilling. Xiao Nian, you should know why this is. ”
Ye Jingnian suddenly realized.
"Grandma, I didn't understand why you hated the family motto that the heir of the Ye family can only marry once, but now, I understand."
"Your grandfather is a man of temperament, even if he usually looks old-fashioned and serious at home, but in fact, he regards love as more important than life and the rise and fall of the family. In those ten years, he could marry any woman to inherit the lineage, but he knew that once he married another woman, he would have no chance with that woman in this life. If your great-grandfather was still alive at the time, maybe your grandfather would have had the courage to abandon his status as the heir to the family and go with that woman. But you also know that because of the family's repentance at that time, your great-grandfather fell ill in a fit of rage, and later died young. ”
