Chapter Twenty-Seven: Broken Dreams
In the brightly lit Twilight Mansion, there is a figure drinking alone in the room, and the dark shadow on the window by the candlelight looks so lonely. Twilight, who was standing outside the window, couldn't bear to see this scene and pushed the door in.
"Brother, why do you do this!" Twilight sighed.
"Sister, I can't calm down. I just want to know if Banxia is okay? Twilight said sadly, taking another sip of wine.
Seeing this, Twilight had no choice but to make this decision, "I'll go see Banxia tomorrow." I'm a woman, and Ye Anshi should let me see it. ”
"Great." Twilight's eyes finally had a glimmer of light.
The next day, Twilight Yixin walked to Yefu with a gift. Ahead, there was an old man stumbling on his feet, with a twig as a crutch, his clothes in tatters, and his messy hair covering half of his face.
Suddenly, the old man fell forward, and Twilight Yixin hurriedly stepped forward, caught her, and asked, "Old man, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, thank you, girl." The old man squinted and smiled and thanked her.
"Old man, where do you live, I'll send you back." Twilight also thought that the good man would do it to the end, and the old man looked pitiful.
"I don't have a home anymore." The old man's eyes were full of tears, and he said, "Girl, do you know where my young lady is!" I'm looking for my young lady, she is Mrs. Qianfu, and she has a daughter named Xiangbanxia. ”
"What?" Twilight Yixin felt incredible, and took the old man back to the house, knowing the old man's identity. After she groomed the old man, she lied that she was her personal grandmother and brought her into the Ye Mansion together.
It just so happened that Ye Anshi entered the palace on this day, and Twilight Yixin saw Banxia smoothly. As soon as the old man saw Banxia, he grabbed Banxia's hand with snot and tears, knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Seeing this, Banxia looked at Twilight Yixin and felt overwhelmed. She asked the old man to sit down and tell slowly, and the old man said that she was Qingci, the personal maid of Banxia's mother, and that she went to talk about business with Banxia's parents and met a bandit. Fortunately, she had a big life, jumped off a river, and picked up half of her life.
"Aunt Qingci, it's okay if you're okay." Banxia touched Qingci's hand and said, Qingci is the old man of her family.
Qingci sighed and said heavily: "Miss, you recognize the thief as your father." Banxia looked confused.
"Back then, the bandits were actually bought by others, and those bandits revealed it before they killed us, because they didn't think there would be a single survivor." Qingci recalled the scene at that time, and hated it.
"What, does that person have anything to do with Ye Fu? Impossible. Banxia jumped to his feet, shaking his head while reminiscing about the years. Are they all fake? There was despair in her eyes.
Next, Qing Ci's words will leave no room to beat Banxia to hell. "It's Young Master Yefu."
"Why, isn't it a close friend?" Banxia didn't want to believe all this, but the people in front of her were convincing, and Xiaozhu recognized her and confirmed her identity.
"I don't know the specific reason, but the whole of Yefu was imprisoned for corruption, and our Fufu was spared." Qingci said all this slowly.
Banxia clutched her chest, and suddenly, the hand that was stretched out towards her 6 years ago became hideous. She desperately wanted to know if Ye Anshi was guilty of adopting her? All the good things in the past are broken like mirrors, and they can no longer be pieced together.
"Aunt Qingci, don't tell anyone else these words today, I will let Xiaozhu place you properly. Aunt Qingci, you have suffered all these years. Banxia tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart, and now she couldn't tear her face.
Her hand caressed her abdomen, thinking of Hayes. Now she could only clench her fists and let go of her hand, her nails digging into a half-moon-shaped dent in the palm of her hand. All beliefs melted into bubbles in an instant.
The quickest way to destroy a person is to overturn the hope she has always held onto, and falsehood and lies are the most terrible things. Banxia called Xiaozhu in, ordered everything, and Qingci retired.
And Twilight Yixin, who had been waiting at the door, walked in, looked at Banxia sitting at the table, and always felt that something had changed, but he couldn't say. "Banxia, are you alright?"
Banxia shook her head and said to her with a smile, "I'm fine." What happened today, Yixin, I want you to keep it a secret. She looked at the half-dried tears on Banxia's face, and suddenly understood a lot in her heart.
So she nodded, walked up to Banxia, squeezed Banxia's hand, and said, "My brother has always been worried about you, and I know that Ye Gongzi is too." ”
"Well, I know. I'm really fine. Banxia still had a smile on her face and responded unhurriedly. By the way, Yixin, how are you and Ye Anshi doing now? ”
Twilight smiled bitterly, "I can't even see him now, so what's the matter!" She looked at Banxia in front of her, knowing in her heart who Ye Anshi's heart was, but she still couldn't let go easily.
"Everything will be fine." Banxia patted her hand and soothed her wounded heart. In Banxia's eyes, Twilight Yixin has always been a cheerful and lively person, for the sake of an unworthy person, he did this. In Banxia's heart, there is only regret.
Qingci was placed in a suburban courtyard outside the city by Xiaozhu, and at night, a mysterious person came to her room. "I've done everything you want me to do, when did you release my son." She prayed to the man in front of her, dressed in black and wearing a feathered hairpin.
"You did a good job, the city lord is quite satisfied, and he will release your son soon, but the time has not yet come." Mo'er looked at the helpless person in front of her with a smile on her face, but there was a gloom in this smile.
Qingci collapsed to the ground, she should have thought that these people did not let her and her son go so easily.
Mo'er sat aside and continued: "If you want to blame your son, you can blame your son, you are a good gambler, and you actually mortgaged the seal of the mansion." We can find you, the personal maid of the Lady of the Mansion. You see, how desperate your young lady's daughter must be now. Ha ha! ”
This burst of laughter penetrated Qingci's brain, and tears flowed from her eyes, it was she who was sorry for Miss, and Miss handed over the seal to herself before she died, and let herself hand it over to Miss Banxia.
But she was afraid that the gang would find her and kill her again, so she hid. It was she who had failed Miss, and she was heartbroken about all this.
Mo'er had no interest in watching Qingci's pain and left silently. Out of the courtyard gate, there happened to be a bright moon in the sky, which meant that the moon could send thoughts, and she would always think of Hayes. For so many years, she had long regarded Hayes as a younger brother.
But in the face of the city lord's plan like this, Hayes Banxia must die, and with Hayes's feelings for Hayes, she is worried that Hayes's ending will be the same as Mo Nian. Both are people she cherishes, she has lost one, and the other must not follow in her footsteps.
She secretly planned in her heart that in order to resist the city lord's plan, she had to find a way.
