Chapter 166 He is seeking death
Chapter 166 He is seeking death
Mrs. Gu was so shocked by Yao Jia's aura that she forgot to speak for a moment.
Seeing that the two were on the verge of a fight, Lin Congmo quickly stood up and pulled Yao Jia behind him.
"Yaoyao, don't be rude."
Yao Jia looked back at him, her eyes full of dissatisfaction, but she said nothing more.
Lin Congmo turned around and winked at Castle Master Gu.
Castle Master Gu understood and pulled Madam Gu aside.
Lin Congmo also coaxed Yao Jia softly, telling her that even if she wanted to cancel the engagement, she should talk to the other party nicely so as not to hurt the relationship between them.
After all, the Gu family is now thriving in the court, and its influence cannot be underestimated.
Yao Jia lowered her head and didn't think that Lin Congmo was right.
His Majesty's attitude in the past two days clearly showed that he didn't want her to break off the engagement with the Gu family. Why didn't she take this opportunity to completely offend Madam Gu?
The two quarreled in front of the emperor and forced him to give in...
With such thoughts in mind, Yao Jia couldn't hear anything Lin Congmo said.
Just let your eyes look at your nose, and your nose look at your heart.
Castle Master Gu felt very miserable when he saw his wife was so impatient.
"Madam, have you forgotten the purpose of our visit today? Why are you talking about breaking off the engagement again?"
Mrs. Gu originally had an unhappy look on her face, but she immediately looked sad after hearing this.
She shook her head slightly, her voice was faint, her eyes were slightly red, "How could I forget."
"then you……"
Looking at her like this, Lord Gu could only sigh helplessly.
If it wasn't for Sanlang, why would he bring his wife here to cause trouble?
Since the war in the border town became tense, he wrote to Qu Mu, asking him to release Sanlang.
Who would have thought that Sanlang, the rebellious son, would disregard military orders and go to the battlefield on his own. Although he made great contributions, he was awarded fifty military sticks for disobeying military orders.
But this rebellious son still did not repent. Even though he was injured, he still begged Qu Mu to take him to lead the troops. Under military pressure, Qu Mu had no choice but to let Sanlang go with him.
He and his wife were worried all day long, fearing that something might happen to him.
With Da Xia's victory, he and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly they received a letter from Gu Yi.
The letter said that every time Sanlang went to the battlefield, he was prepared to die. He would rush to the front regardless of his own safety, fighting desperately. His bloodthirsty appearance shocked Qu Mu.
He and his wife couldn't help wondering if it was because they didn't agree with this marriage that Sanlang had such thoughts and didn't leave himself a way out...
Fort Gu raised his hand and gently stroked Madam Gu's back. "If you feel wronged, let me talk to the Young Pavilion Master later."
Mrs. Gu shook her head repeatedly. It was her fault. If she hadn't said such rude words at the beginning, things wouldn't have come to this point.
Sanlang might get married earlier than Yaojia, and they would live happily together and even conceive a child.
It's her fault!
She couldn't sleep at night when she thought of what Gu Yi said about Sanlang having countless injuries of varying sizes. It was her willfulness that had harmed Sanlang so much.
Mrs. Gu felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She sobbed in Castle Master Gu's arms.
Lord Gu couldn't help but shed tears secretly...
Yao Jia was daydreaming when she suddenly heard Madam Gu crying, and her heart tightened.
Why is she crying now? How is she going to perform next?
When she looked up, she saw Lin Congmo with a bitter face, winking at her continuously.
Yao Jia's scalp tingled when he looked at her, so she gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Mrs. Gu, are you...are you okay? I was in a bad mood just now, I hope you can forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu stopped crying immediately and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"What are you talking about, Yaoyao? I was wrong first."
He walked a few steps forward to Yao Jia and said softly, "Yao Yao, I am used to speaking without restraint and I am easily influenced by others. A few words from others can easily provoke me."
Yao Jia thought to herself: I should have seen that a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get the marriage certificate back so easily.
"I came here this time to discuss marriage sincerely... Can you..."
"No, ma'am, I really don't want to have anything to do with the Gu family..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt that Mrs. Gu's expression was not right.
Who knew that the next moment, Mrs. Gu bent her legs...
Yao Jia was horrified, thinking that she was going to be forced to kneel down!
"Plop" sound.
Madam Gu took a step forward and knelt on the ground.
I breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. I almost shortened my life.
Mrs. Gu didn't expect Yao Jia to suddenly kneel down in front of her, and she couldn't close or extend her bent legs.
Lin Congmo and Castle Master Gu were also confused.
Yao Jia raised her head and looked at Madam Gu, and said word by word: "Madam Gu, you are the elder, and I cannot bear to kneel to you."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth, knelt down and kowtowed to Yao Jia.
"Yaoyao, auntie begs you."
Yao Jia kowtowed back.
"Mrs. Gu, you can't do that!"
"Yaoyao, auntie begs you."
"Mrs. Gu, you can't do that!"
…………
After bowing his head several times, Yao Jia felt that his life was coming to an end.
Lin Congmo hurried forward to pull Mrs. Gu.
"Madam Gu, what are you doing? Hurry up and let's discuss this carefully..."
Castle Master Gu also came over to help her, and the two of them helped her sit on a chair.
After she stood up, Yao Jia kowtowed a few more times in return.
She kept mumbling: “God is above, and the earth is my witness, I was the first to kneel down, and I kowtowed more than her…”
Lin Congmo's body trembled, thinking that this girl is really afraid of death now.
He walked forward, picked the person up from the ground, and walked in front of Mrs. Gu.
When Mrs. Gu saw Yao Jia, her tears flowed out like a dam bursting.
Yao Jia was puzzled. Logically speaking, Mrs. Gu should be happy that she and Gu Xiyan had broken off the engagement. Why was she so sad? Was there some other hidden story?
"Madam Gu, you didn't think highly of me at first, why are you like this now?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu could no longer hold back her tears.
"Young Pavilion Master, it's my fault... I forced Sanlang to go to the battlefield... He was determined to die... He had so many injuries... but he still fought on the battlefield... Sometimes I wonder... if he went there specifically to die..."
The more Yao Jia listened, the more confused she became. "What do you mean by seeking death? Hasn't he made countless contributions and just received a reward from His Majesty? How could he possibly seek death?"
Mrs. Gu held her hand, her voice choked with sobs.
"Qu Mu said that he was not right when he went to the military camp, like a walking corpse."
"After being wounded, as soon as the bleeding stopped, he went to meet the enemy again"
“He is seeking death.”
"He felt that by doing something good, he could repay us for raising him."
Mrs. Gu suddenly grabbed Yao Jia's hand.
"Gu Yi said that when he was injured and unconscious, he called out your name, saying things like Jiangnan, Yongle Marquis Mansion, and I hate you. I knew that he couldn't let you go, and he hated me for stopping you."
Yao Jia's breathing stagnated and she felt cold all over.
I can still vividly remember what Gu Xiyan said when he left. “I hate you” was not said to Mrs. Gu, but to her, to her.
He hated her!
"I beg you, please have pity on me, your old mother, and pity the fact that we only have this one child. Don't even mention breaking off the engagement. Give him some thoughts and let him take care of his own health, okay..."
After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she let go of Yao Jia's hand and collapsed into Castle Master Gu's arms, sobbing.
Fortress Lord Gu's eyes were red. "My husband and I only have this one child now. I am not afraid that he will die on the battlefield, but I am afraid that he will die blindly. It is not worth it..."
Yao Jia stood there motionless. Yes, it was really not worth it to do this for her.
not worth it!
It seemed as if all the blood in my body was sucked away in an instant.
It was all her fault. She thought if she drove him away, he would be able to live the life he wanted, but who would have thought that he would live like a walking corpse.
Lin Congmo sighed deeply and looked at Yao Jia, only then he realized that she looked strange.
The little face was pale and almost bloodless, and the eyes were empty and lifeless.
Alarm bells rang in my heart, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Jia's body leaned backward uncontrollably.
