Liu Mingzhi suddenly felt uncomfortable when he heard Wen Renzheng's depressed tone. After knowing each other for decades, this was the first time he heard the old man's tone be so sad.
"Old man, I only know that the source of the conflict between Shu'er and his father-in-law and mother-in-law was because I did not arrive as scheduled.
However, Shu'er has never told me what exactly happened between them. Can you tell me the details?
What kind of conflict could lead to such a situation between parents and children?
It's been twenty years. During these twenty years, Shu'er was by your side when you were in Jiangnan. Later, in these years, I got along with you and stayed with you, but I never went back to Shu to visit you. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are the two elders.
At first I didn't know what was going on, but later I realized that it wasn't that Shu'er didn't want to return to his two elders to fulfill his filial piety, but that the two elders had always stayed behind closed doors and repeatedly shut out Shu'er.
Although Shu'er has never taken the initiative to mention anything about her parents to me, during holidays and festivals, which are supposed to be happy times for the whole family, I can tell that Shu'er still feels extremely uncomfortable and sad.
Especially when the rest of the boy's father-in-law and mother-in-law came to Beijing for reunion, Shu'er's eyes were full of gloom when she saw the warm scene of her sisters reunited with their parents.
The boy has seen Shu'er like this more than once, and the most serious one was the day Zhengming was born more than two years ago.
I saw it in my eyes and felt pain in my heart, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Because Shu'er never told the boy about the conflicts between her and her father-in-law and mother-in-law that could not be resolved after decades.
The boy didn't know the details of the reason, and he couldn't help them resolve each other's problems.
You just said that Shu'er didn't tell me because he was worried that I would have a grudge. Is there any hidden secret that is inconvenient to express? "
Wen Renzheng hesitated for a moment and nodded gently to Young Master Liu.
Under Young Master Liu's uncomprehending gaze, Wen Renzheng silently took off the tobacco bag from his waist, lit it with a fire stick, and puffed away quietly for a while.
"There are indeed some secrets in it, and there is nothing inconvenient to tell. Maybe the main reason is that this girl cares too much about your feelings, so she doesn't know how to tell you.
Decades have passed since the incident, so it's a long story, so I'll give you a rough summary of the main circumstances.
To put it into perspective, this matter must have started twenty-eighty-nine years ago, which should be the early autumn of Xuande's eighteenth year.
That autumn, after you rescued this girl who accidentally fell into the river in the river outside the city, you told her, whether it was true or false, that you would marry her in the future, make her your second wife, and keep her as your wife. I bought a jade flute as a token of love.
Shu'er was already ten years old at that time. She was about to get married in a few years, so she already knew everything she needed to know about the love between children.
In addition, since she was a child, she had read poems and books with the old man, so her temperament matured a little earlier than the average young girl of the same age.
Therefore, in the face of you, the little brother who has a life-saving benevolence for her, because the girl is in love with her, I take your childish promise seriously.
So, after you silently rode a scalper and left the old imperial master's house, this girl has been storing the love token you left for her with great care, waiting for you to return to fulfill your promise.
At that time, I was still extremely curious about you, a young man who did good deeds without leaving his name. I wanted to send someone to find out your identity and see what kind of person it was that deceived my sweet granddaughter away like this. .
However, things are unpredictable. At that time, the relationship between Lao Chan and Yan He became tense again because of certain things, almost to the point of being on the same level as fire and water.
In order to properly handle the relationship between Lao Chan and Yan He, Lao Chan had no time to take care of other trivial matters at that time.
More importantly, because I was really busy at that time, I naturally forgot about the investigation of your identity. I also ignored the matters between Shu'er and you.
It can be said that Shu'er, who was already pregnant as a young girl, had no intention of doing anything at that time. All she thought about was you, her future husband.
Of course, I only learned this later.
Shuer has been waiting for you for several months, but you have never appeared again.
However, this girl still refuses to give up, always believing that you will come back and fulfill your promise to marry her, as if she has recognized you for the rest of her life.
An has missed you for several years, and Shu'er didn't get any news about you during these years. It was the prime of life at that time, and Shu'er, who was waiting for a divorce, was not to mention how sad she was.
However, although this silly girl Shu'er is full of resentment towards you, she is still waiting foolishly for you to come back and marry her.
As the girl gradually grew up and reached the age when it was time to talk about marriage, the savior she said would come back to marry her never showed up. Her parents were worried about Shu'er's marriage, and they began to Find a suitable husband for her.
However, this girl only pretends to be the little brother who saved her life back then and said he wanted to marry her. Without even looking at them, she directly disagrees with the talented children her parents selected for her.
That's you, you bastard.
The old son and daughter-in-law had no choice but to carefully explore things about you from Shu'er.
At first, the old son and daughter-in-law were very curious about Shu'er's insistence on being a good husband, because you saved Shu'er's life many years ago. Although they have never met you, they still have excellent senses about you. of.
Privately, the two of them didn't tell Shu Er that this girl had already negotiated with Lao Chan. As long as your character and temperament are not too unsatisfactory, your marriage will be fulfilled happily.
After all, with Lao Chan's family status at that time, there was no need to care about those so-called "well-matched" things.
And under the circumstances at that time, it was far more suitable for Shu'er to marry a husband from an ordinary family than to find a well-matched husband.
Because at that time Yan He was too afraid that Lao Chan would get married to another well-matched family and formed a strong alliance. Lao Chan, who was well aware of the stakes involved, naturally agreed to the matter without hesitation.
On the one hand, it was due to the situation at that time, and on the other hand, the old man did not want to see his most beloved granddaughter marry a man she did not like.
But everything has to be based on one premise, that is, you bastard can come back and fulfill the promise you made to Shu'er many years ago.
However, until this girl Shu'er turned sixteen, you still didn't show up. At that time, the old man had already resigned and retired to seclusion for many years.
Her parents are not a silly girl like Shu Er, and they understand in their hearts that the promise you made back then was probably just a childish joke.
So they had no choice but to discuss the important matter of her marriage with Shu Er again. However, this girl Shu Er always believed that you would come back to marry her, but she still firmly disagreed with her parents' engagement for her.
There was a big fuss because of this, and the letters from father and daughter were successively sent to the old man.
After receiving the letter, the old man saw that the situation seemed a little bad. He was afraid that the relationship between father and daughter would become even more tense, so he could only secretly send a letter to his former disciples to help him investigate what happened that year.
But after all, many years have passed. Based on some vague information they found, they sent people to search all over the capital but could not find any trace of you bastard.
In desperation, Lao Chan had no choice but to disguise himself and go to the capital in person. He took Shuer and spent several months searching for your whereabouts around the capital. "
