Chapter 60
Although controlled by others, Chen Jiao remained calm, tried his best to move his body, adjusted a comfortable posture, leaned on the porch, and looked at the moonlight and the beautiful woman in the distance.
Qinglang and Run slowly began to tell the story of that period of the past.
"I am indeed from South Chen, and my background is considered prominent there. My father is the heir of a big family, and my mother is also of noble birth, and she is also a beauty. She and my father have a very good relationship. I am them It is a pity that my mother passed away not long after the birth of my first child."
"Didn't you say that your mother was betrayed by your father last time?"
"Ahem, forget about the nonsense I said last time." Chen Jiao laughed dryly.
Wu Jie glared at him, but didn't speak.
Chen Jiao continued, "When my mother left, the person who suffered the most was not me as a baby, but my infatuated father. He was distraught, he didn't think about eating and drinking, and his body gradually collapsed. People from all sides persuaded him to continue. .And newborn children also need someone to take care of them. My father was reluctant at first, but later he couldn't stand the persuasion of everyone, so he agreed."
"The person he married was my mother's sister, my aunt."
"Speaking of my stepmother, she was very kind to me at the beginning. She took care of everything by herself. She didn't even take care of my father as carefully as she took care of me. It wasn't until two years later that she gave birth to her own son."
Under the faint moonlight, Chen Jiao's voice was soft and clear, with a comfortable rhythm.
Wu Jie originally just listened casually, but unconsciously immersed herself in the story.
Nowadays, it is common practice among aristocratic families to marry the younger sister of the first wife after the loss of a wife. But in Chen Jiao's story, the stepmother gave birth to her child so quickly, it seemed to be a turning point. After all, any woman would always care more about her own flesh and blood.
However, unexpected.
"After giving birth to her own son, she treated me even better. She handed over her own child to the wet nurse, and she still cared about me immensely. From basic necessities of life, to playing games. Ever since I was a child, she would have given me any request. Do your best to be satisfied and never say no."
"I remember when I was four years old, I clamored for the moon in the sky, and my stepmother ordered the silversmith to make a three-foot-long silver moon, and then sprinkled dozens of night pearls and fluorite into the lake to create a night sky full of stars. Then I rowed a boat into the water and played the game of fishing for the moon. When I was five years old, I was chasing a rabbit in the peach blossom forest in the back garden. When she came out, she immediately ordered someone to cut down the entire forest, and found out the rabbit that made me angry, and "
Wu Jie was dumbfounded when she heard this, and couldn't help blurting out, "Such a pampering, I'm afraid it's too much."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Chen Jiao's face.
"Blind pampering will indeed only breed a freak who is selfish and ignorant. But at that time, everyone praised her for being wise and generous, and my father was also very satisfied."
"By the time I was six years old, another incident happened."
"As I said before, the relationship between my father and my mother is very deep. After my mother passed away, my father has been depressed and drank his sorrows, especially on the days of my mother's death."
"When I was six years old, on the anniversary of my mother's death, my father's days were extremely sad, and no matter how much I tried to persuade him, it was hard to make him happy."
"My clever stepmother thought of a whimsical idea. She dressed me as a girl and sent me to my father."
"As I said, my father and mother were childhood sweethearts, and I was born very similar to my mother."
Wu Jie couldn't believe it, "This is actually possible"
Chen Jiao smiled flatly, "After all, in the eyes of everyone, making that person happy is more important than anything else."
"My father saw me, as if he saw his mother when he was a child. He finally came out of grief and loss."
"He liked the way I wore women's clothing very much, and then he often asked me to wear it for him. Later, he even asked me to wear those gorgeous and exquisite skirts. He even chose clothes and accessories for me himself, and everything followed my mother's childhood. appearance."
A kind of sympathy suddenly rose in Wu Jie's heart, "You just accept it like this." Then she thought, when all this happened, the person in front of her was just a six-year-old child, and it was impossible to disobey the adults' wishes.
Chen Jiao shrugged, "Of course I don't want to. Those girls' long skirts are both troublesome and cumbersome. How can I ride a horse and play in them. I have made a fuss and protested, but I can't stop them after all."
"And my stepmother praised me greatly, and told me the allusion of the colorful clothes entertaining my relatives. Since I was a child, my closest person is her. Gradually, I believe that these are all right. As long as my father is happy, No big deal."
"Then, I spent more and more time wearing women's clothing, and I gradually got used to this kind of clothing and life."
"Then, he called me to accompany me more and more, in the name of cultivating the relationship between father and son. In order to make me more like the mother of the year, for fear that I would grow older and taller, he even restricted my diet. Let the female officer strictly guide my behavior"
Are you sick?
Wu Jie really wanted to shout.
In this matter, what made her feel more uncomfortable was not Chen Jiao's stepmother, but the father who pushed his son into the abyss step by step.
Chen Jiao lowered his head, giggled, "Many people still praised his infatuation, towards my mother."
"What a fucking shit worthless infatuation"
The expression on his face was full of hostility, and he even started to speak foul language.
"Do you know what happened next?" He looked up at Wu Jie and asked with a smile.
Wu Jie suddenly didn't want to listen any more, and Chen Jiao's expression at this time actually had a kind of desolation that she couldn't bear to witness.
"When I was thirteen, one night, he drank too much, suddenly grabbed my hand and pushed me down on the couch"
For a moment, Wu Jie was terrified.
There was silence all around, except for the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the leafy woods in the backyard.
The cold moon was like frost, illuminating everything, but Wu Jie felt that there was darkness in front of her eyes.
Or it was because at this moment, the darkness that shrouded the person in front of him was surprisingly dense, like an inextricable cloud.
Wu Jie wanted to say something to ease the oppressive atmosphere, but it was futile to open her mouth. Any words, at this moment, were powerless.
I don't know how long it has passed, but Wu Jie felt the oppression like suffocation.
On the opposite side, he raised his head, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Why is this expression so you don't think I'm at a disadvantage?" He said with a smile.
"Of course not, I kicked him flying."
"That dead old man, the reputation outside is that he is both civil and military, wise and martial, ha, he is bullshit, he has been hollowed out by wine and sex all these years, I only kicked him a few times, and he vomited blood."
"Uh..." This development was really beyond Wu Jie's expectation.
It seems a bit unethical for a son to beat his father.
But thinking of Chen Jiao's father, Wu Jie felt refreshed, why didn't he kick this old thing to death?
It's just that Chen Jiao was talking and smiling, but that smile looked uglier than crying.
Compared with the pure indignation of an outsider like himself, it was his father, the existence he once looked up to, and his lofty image collapsed completely in an instant
Chen Jiao closed his eyes, paused, and continued, "I have liked to practice martial arts since I was a child. When I was ten years old, he was afraid that I would practice martial arts too much and damage my body, so he made me stop practicing martial arts. He also said that I am like this." I didn’t need any martial arts in the first place. Fortunately, I didn’t give up in private.”
"Then, I beat this drunk and rice bag guy until he vomited blood and fell into a coma. Everyone scolded me for disobedience and disobedience, and my stepmother looked heartbroken."
"I'm locked up." Chen Jiao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing his complex expression.
In an instant, his whole world changed, and everyone seemed to have changed.
After a pause, he continued, "Fortunately, my master came back from the south at that time and heard about it. He couldn't bear it anymore and rushed into our house."
"He pointed his nose and scolded my father who had just woken up, then picked me up and took me to the army."
"The days to come can be regarded as relief. When I get to Master, I can finally change back into men's clothes and live a normal life."
"Your Master"
"Yeah, he is the commander of the army. He is a good brother of my bastard father. He worked hard with him all the way. Before my mother passed away, he entrusted me to him. I was enlightened in martial arts when I was young, and I followed him. It's a pity that during the years when I was dressed as a woman, he went to the south to fight against the barbarians, and he was not in Capital City for several years."
"When I entered the army, I was tortured, fucked, and trained hard in those few years. Fortunately, I survived, and the habit of wearing women's clothing all day long was also corrected." Chen Jiao's face showed nostalgia, bringing I have lingering fears.
Those few years were the most difficult period in his life, but also the period with the greatest harvest and the fastest growth.
Wu Jie heaved a sigh of relief, and then wondered, "Since it's already passed, why do you still have to?"
"It's a personal hobby." Chen Jiao laughed twice, "I don't know why, including when I was in the army, the pressure was too great, so I like to put on women's clothes and stay alone quietly."
"Master beat me twice for this, but found that I couldn't change my habit, and I only wore it occasionally, so I simply gave up. It's just that I'm not allowed to hang around in front of others. It's not good to be recognized by others."
"Haha, in fact, his worry is purely superfluous. I'm not bragging. I'm flawless in women's clothing, and I've even fooled several young geese in the army."
Wu Jie was speechless, this guy is extremely talented in women's clothing, and he really has the ability to deceive people. but what's there to be proud of
"However, you don't have so many scruples about lurking in the Northland. Wearing women's clothing can also conceal your identity."
Chen Jiao finally finished telling the story, turned to look at Wu Jie, and showed a big smile.
"How about it, is my story exciting?"
The story is very short, but it is a tortuous first half of a person's life.
Wu Jie didn't know how to respond. Compared with this person, my life in the past ten years or so has been extremely smooth.
Bah, why do I have to compare with him?
Maybe it was because the moonlight was too hazy and the night breeze was too cool, which made her heart soften unconsciously.
When this man told about his past, the sadness in his eyes made her feel sympathetic unconsciously. Obviously a dangerous poisonous snake, but also a pervert who is used to wearing women's clothes
Thinking of his women's clothing, Wu Jie became angry again.
Sympathy belongs to sympathy, accounts belong to accounts. He pretended to be a woman before, which made him defenseless, and all kinds of intimacy with him can't be ignored
"Still angry, why don't you hit me twice to vent your anger." Chen Jiao laughed.
Good idea Wu Jie stared at him and walked forward quickly.
Chen Jiao's face changed, "Hey, you really hit me, don't be so unkind, I saved your life anyway."
"You girl, don't kick me"
Wu Jie kicked this guy hard a few times, and finally felt that all her anger was exhausted.
"You can't get close to me within three feet, no, within seven feet, you are not allowed to enter my bedroom, and you are not allowed to touch my clothes and jewelry casually."
"Understood, I must keep it in mind."
Chen Jiao responded to Wu Jie's stern warnings with a smile.
He stood up, and during the short speech time, he worked his body, and the medicine power in his body had already been dissipated.
"Is there any other orders for your mother?"
Wu Jie urged herself to harden her heart, and said with a cold snort, "No matter what happened to you before, I only ask for one thing, don't implicate me, Dongyue. The rest of life and death are up to you."
Chen Jiao smiled, and said in a low voice, "I would like to obey your mother's will."
As the night darkened, Chen Jiao bid farewell and left.
Wu Jie watched his figure disappear outside the yard, and narrowed her eyes. Soon, her eyes widened again. Why did this guy go and come back again?
Chen Jiao stood in front of Wu Jie, with a sincere face, "There is one more thing I forgot to ask my mother, how did you see through that?"
Knowing that he is a member of South Chen, it is no surprise that Prince Fu made a hasty uprising. Their hands and feet in Prince Fu's Mansion were not that clean, and the Great Wei government will definitely find out. But he pretended to be a woman, confident that he was perfect, and he would reveal his secrets
It's okay not to mention this, but Wu Jie's face turned dark again when Wu Jie was mentioned.
You still have the nerve to ask, "Hmph, think for yourself." Wu Jie said angrily, turned around and walked away.
Chen Jiao was left alone and touched his nose helplessly, "Okay."
Wu Jie walked quickly on the corridor. It was Chi Rui who found out that this guy was a man. The night before yesterday, after she learned that Mrs. Yuheng was from South Chen, she immediately asked Chi Rui if Chen Jiao had acted suspiciously these days.
Unexpectedly, this guy has very little contact with people, but his daily life is a bit strange.
"Miss Gui Po has never used a menstrual belt. It's really strange. Could it be that people who practice martial arts are in good health, but remember that Zifen also uses it regularly." Chi Rui said puzzled.
Wu Jie thought of the time when she hugged him in the Small Buddha Hall before, that someone's breasts were flat, and she suddenly had a terrible guess.
And today, that dire guess has come true.
After finally returning to the room and sitting at the table, Wu Jie completely calmed down. In the empty and dark room, she suddenly felt a dull dullness.
Madam Yuheng actually, she had heard this name before in her previous life.
It was about ten days before his death, Yuan Jing had just led his army to the south for his own conquest.
As usual, she went to Phoenix Rite Palace early in the morning to pay her respects, and left with the concubines. Later, she found that her purse had been left in the palace, so she went back to look for it, and accidentally heard the voices of Empress Gao and Mother Qiu coming from the hall.
Wu Jie tried hard to remember what they were talking about at that time
It seems that Empress Gao asked, "Is this really true?"
Mother Qiu said, "Mrs. Yuheng personally sent the news, and the evidence is complete."
Afterwards, she was discovered by the maids outside the palace, and she hurriedly said goodbye and left without taking it seriously, thinking about it now.
Lady Yuheng and Empress Gao
What is their connection?
