In fact, this was the first time that Lin Ye had doubts about her mother-in-law. It was not a suspicion with negative emotions, but a suspicion that everything was related to her mother-in-law.
That old woman who has been gone for a long time may have carefully planned every step she takes today.
Sitting by the window and looking at the night sky, Lin Ye didn't have any other emotions at this time except missing her.
That old woman, I really miss her.
"You didn't tell me anything at that time. Do you think I didn't understand anything at that time?"
Lin Ye muttered to himself.
Then he picked up the jug and took a sip. This was new wine, spicy in the mouth, not as warm as a line of wine entering the throat, but rather, it was just biting and burning wherever it went.
He didn't want to see anyone at the moment, not even Zinai, not even his aunt.
He just wanted to sit quietly for a while, in a deserted night, thinking about the old woman who had been dead for many years, and how she looked when she was a child.
"Do something big."
After Lin Ye took another sip of wine, he raised the wine bottle toward the sky and gestured.
It was as if he was toasting a toast to the person who had passed away long ago, and also as if he was telling Zhentian, "I want to do something big."
Thinking back to when he was a child, when he first met his mother-in-law, her mother-in-law stood at the door and looked at him carefully before he entered.
The first thing his mother-in-law said to him was... Why is this thin and small man so heart-wrenching to look at?
The first thing Lin Ye said to her mother-in-law was... I look thin and small, but I am not weak.
My mother-in-law said, how dare you say you are not weak when you are like this?
Lin Ye said, I will only tell you this once. I hope you remember that from now on, the labor of chopping wood and carrying water in this yard will be mine. Whether I am weak or not, old lady, you can decide for yourself.
At that time, he was young and couldn't carry two full buckets of water, so he would just carry two and a half buckets of water, just for one more walk.
He couldn't chop all the firewood he needed in one go, so he would work more, which would just mean less rest.
At that time, my mother-in-law knew that he really just looked thin and small, not weak.
Lin Ye has been a person with an incredibly strong heart since he was a child.
How can any normal person make a poisonous oath to himself at such a young age?
"Hey!"
Lin Ye shouted into the distance. It was an empty night, but he knew that someone must be able to hear him.
"I know you're nearby. I'm in a good mood today, so I want to drink. Would you like to come out and have a drink with me?"
After Lin Ye finished shouting, he didn't say anything more, because he knew very well that according to that person's temperament, if he shouted once, he would come out. If he didn't shout once, he wouldn't come out no matter how many times he shouted.
A moment later, Sui Qingqu, wearing a bamboo hat and holding an unsheathed long knife, appeared in front of Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was sitting on the stone path up the mountain. When he appeared in front of Lin Ye, dew was still dripping on his bamboo hat, so he was always there.
The night is coming to an end and the light is coming.
Lin Ye had actually been drinking wine by himself in this place for a long time, and he watched Lin Ye drink for a long time from a place where Lin Ye couldn't see him.
"Drank too much?"
Sui Qingqu asked in a cold voice, seeming a little unhappy.
Lin Ye shook his head: "Practitioners...even if they are just practitioners in the Diocesan realm, no matter how much they drink, if they say they really drank too much, they are just pretending."
Suiqing said: "Then are you pretending now?"
Lin Ye said: "I don't want to lose my wine power just yet. Let's do this for now. I will do it before I go back and I won't let them see it."
Sui Qing went: "Problem?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "You should understand me. All the problems in this world are not worth getting drunk."
Sui Qing went: "A good thing?"
Lin Ye shook his head again: "Logically speaking, it should be a good thing. After all, it can be regarded as clearing the clouds and seeing the sunny sky. But no matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem to be a good thing."
Suiqing said: "I understand."
He sat down next to Lin Ye and reached out to take the wine bottle in Lin Ye's hand.
Lin Ye came up carrying two large wine jars. The two wine jars combined contained at least eighty kilograms of wine.
He drank most of the night, but in fact, he probably drank only about ten kilograms.
When the jug of wine is gone, he puts the jug into the wine vat and fills it up, repeating this process.
"Where did you get so much wine?"
"There was a new brew in the kitchen. I brewed it in three tanks. I stole two tanks. I thought this amount of wine would be enough for me for the first half of the night."
Suiqing glanced at him.
"I thought before that if I really sat down with you and had a serious conversation, what should I ask you the most?"
Lin Ye lay back, lying on the stone steps, not bothering to panic.
"I spent almost a whole night thinking about this problem. What should I say to you first, and then what should I say to you, to get closer and closer, and then ask what I want to know."
Lin Ye looked at Suiqing and said, "You..."
Suiqing answered: "I'm not."
Lin Ye was startled.
In fact, what he knew, and always knew, was that he was young at that time, but he couldn't really remember what his brother looked like.
Suiqing took another sip of wine and said, "I should be, but I'm not. He should be, but he's not either."
Lin Yeyi frowned.
Suiqing said: "You should know what I mean."
Lin Ye suddenly wanted to curse, as hard and as dirty as he wanted.
Because he really understood.
Sui Qing was not the eldest brother whose memory was slightly blurred. He left the house with a knife and said he was going to take revenge. He didn't look back but waved his hand.
And the eldest brother in this memory is not his eldest brother either.
After Suiqing drank all the wine in the jug, he looked at Lin Ye and said: "We are all the same. If you are willing, we are all your brothers. If you are not willing, then... Is your companion."
"What about him?"
Lin Ye asked.
"died."
Answer casually.
"How did you die?"
Lin Ye asked.
"Those who died in Loufan did not suffer any loss, but made a profit. One person was exchanged for hundreds of others."
Answer casually.
Then the two fell into silence. This silence was not scary because it only gave each other time to relax. Especially for Lin Ye, he needed time to accept these words.
"Where's my home?"
Lin Ye asked: "Is it also fake?"
Suiqing shook his head: "I don't know."
He said: "I shouldn't have said these words to you, but it seems like you guessed something today and made some important decision, so..."
Lin Ye said: "Just tell me."
Suiqing went and said: "I don't know who you are, but you must be the person that the general values the most. The eldest brother in your memory is one of the general's personal guards, and I... too .”
"I don't know if it belongs to the home you grew up in, but according to my guess, it shouldn't be because your parents really love you."
Lin Ye nodded, and then asked: "Do you still remember their appearance? I can't remember clearly."
Suiqing said: "I haven't seen it many times. After all, I only went there later." "The people who protect you are the people the general trusts most. Although we shouldn't make random guesses, after all, we are also Ordinary people.”
Suiqing looked at Lin Ye and said, "Privately, we feel that you...should be the general's child, but not his wife's child."
Lin Ye pouted.
He said: "It's really bloody."
He said: "How can a general who is admired by the world and a true hero who has attracted much attention have such a bloody story about an illegitimate child..."
He looked at Sui Qing and said, "If this is true, then what's even more outrageous is that I, the illegitimate son, was arranged to be with his real wife."
Suiqing said: "If it is true, then it is your blessing to go to your mother-in-law."
Lin Ye: "Is it true? It's a blessing for me to be with my mother-in-law."
He took the jug over, poured another jug from the wine vat, then tilted his neck and took a deep breath.
He asked: "Why do you talk so much today?"
Suiqing said: "I told you, I can see that you seem to have guessed something or made some decision."
Lin Ye: "That's nonsense."
Suiqing couldn't help but smile.
Lin Ye said: "Although I don't remember clearly, I still remember that he is not good at telling lies, and you are the same."
Suiqing went and said, "The general's personal guards all have the same temperament. No one is good at lying... The general didn't teach us."
Lin Ye said: "Did my aunt look for you?"
Suiqing shook his head: "It's Zina."
He said: "It's not that difficult to avoid the eldest princess, but it's quite difficult to avoid Zina."
Lin Ye also laughed. He took another sip of wine and said, "It's hard for me to avoid her now."
Suiqing said: "She is not as careless as she seems, and is very thoughtful. It's just that she always gives people the illusion that she is still a little girl who has not grown up."
Lin Ye: "Well, after all, I brought him up with my own hands..."
Sui Qing asked: "Will you marry her?"
Lin Ye spurted out the sip of wine he just drank. It was a rare embarrassment for a person with his personality.
Lin Ye: "This is not what we should talk about."
Suiqing said: "I want to talk about this."
Lin Ye took another sip to cover up his embarrassment. He didn't know why he was embarrassed.
Suiqing went to take the jug from Lin Ye's hand, and asked Lin Ye: "It's impossible that you haven't thought about this problem. You are not the type to ignore someone, especially Zinai."
Lin Ye didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Suiqing went and said, "You have to marry her."
Lin Ye: "I..."
Suiqing said: "Don't pretend, you actually want to."
Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's so fast, it's almost dawn before you know it."
Suiqing went and said, "Yes, it's going to be dawn... Remember, you have to marry her, you have to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, and you have to marry Miss Xiaohe as well."
Lin Ye looked at Sui Qing and said, "Are you drunk?"
Sui Qing said: "I'm serious."
Lin Ye: "Why do you say this?"
Sui Qingqu said: "You should promise me first... If there is a big change in the future, there will be a river of blood, and your enemies and people around you may die. This is what I do, If you want to die, I will be among the first."
He patted Lin Ye's shoulder, stood up, and looked in the direction where the sun was about to rise.
"If I die and meet your brother, and he asks me how you are, I will tell him that you live a beautiful life and have three wives, each one more beautiful than the last."
After saying this, he pointed at the red sun.
"It's going to be daybreak."
