I'm trying to kill myself in Legend of Zhen Huan

"My Lord, do you want to tell a story?"

"Go call Lingrong, let's go to my sister's place."

"Sister, do you think Sister Xia will come?"

Before Su He could answer, he heard Xia Dongchun's voice coming from the door.

"Great, you two are playing Gobang without asking me."

Su He raised his eyebrows, "Oh, really? Why do I hear that some people haven't gotten up yet?"

An Lingrong was smiling beside them with her eyes curved. Xia Dongchun blushed a little when she saw the two of them.

"I am afraid, I am afraid~"

Su He found it interesting to see Xia Dongchun being shy sometimes, so he stood up and imitated Xia Dongchun, pinching his throat:

"I'm just afraid that my drool will flow out of my eyes out of envy~"

“Hahahahahahahaha~~ ヽ(???)?(???)? ” Loud laughter suddenly broke out in the room.

Su He immediately retracted the steps he had taken, turned around and looked at Xia Dongchun in confusion. Cui Guo and the others in the room would not laugh loudly, and Ling Rong's personality would not allow her to laugh so heartily.

Xia Dongchun was seen smiling, supporting Ling Rong with one hand and covering her belly with the other. This pose looked like a pregnant woman who was five or six months pregnant.

Su He scratched his hair, which was not feeling well, and looked at Ling Rong, "What stimulated Si Ji?"

"No~, no, I didn't."

An Lingrong gave Xia Dongchun a cup of tea, and Xia Dongchun took a while to recover.

"Sister, why did you turn around and run just now?"

"Nonsense, I was just kidding you. I was afraid you were going to chase me and hit me or tickle me, so of course I had to run away."

"No, no, I'm not that kind of person. But, sister, what you just learned is really funny." Xia Dongchun burped as she spoke.

"Sister, did Concubine Hua really say she would give me a chestnut pony?"

Su He and An Lingrong nodded at the same time.

"Don't worry, sister and Lingrong. From now on, I will have no grudges against Concubine Hua."

Xia Dongchun looked at the two people's puzzled eyes and told the story.

"My Xia family is a family of military commanders. My brother has been practicing martial arts with my father since he was a child. As for me, I became his little follower. I rode horses and practiced martial arts, and I followed him to join in the fun."

"My parents also allowed me to get involved in these things. When I was 5 years old, my mother gave me a chestnut pony as my birthday present. I was so happy at that time."

"That pony was also born from a Ferghana horse. My mother had to go through many ways to get it."

"I didn't expect that my mother would fall ill and pass away within a year. That pony has become a reminder of my longing for her."

"After my mother died, my grandmother brought her niece into the mansion and asked my father to marry her on the grounds that my brother and I were young and could not live without our mother's care."

"My father and mother had a pretty good relationship, so they were naturally unwilling. Later, my grandmother threatened to commit suicide, so my father finally let the woman in and gave her the position of co-wife."

"That woman gave birth to a daughter for my father the same year she came into the family. She is my half-sister. When she was three years old, she fell in love with my pony and insisted on riding it. But I was not around. The groom knew how much I valued Lieyan and refused to let her ride. He was also afraid of hurting her and had no way to explain himself."

"That damn girl just kept crying and making a fuss. How could her mother bear to see her daughter being wronged? She went straight to ask her grandmother for help. In her grandmother's eyes, it was just a pony. What was so untouchable about it? So she ordered the groom to lead the horse out and protect the daughter of that bitch."

"But my Lieyan is very proud. Not everyone can ride him. You may not believe me, but in order to develop a relationship with Lieyan, I lived in the stable for several days. Especially after my mother passed away, there was a period of time when I wanted to take root in the stable."

"You can probably guess the result. As soon as the unlucky thing approached Lieyan, it was kicked. Fortunately, it was winter and she was wearing thick clothes. Lieyan didn't use much force. In fact, she just kicked her. The vicious woman directly ordered Lieyan and the groom to be beaten to death. With my grandmother's support, who would dare to disobey?"

"I only found out when I got back. I was so angry that I rushed into that bitch's house and started smashing things. I also beat up that bitch's daughter severely. As a result, I was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night. When my brother got home from school that day, he found out about this and went to my father to argue. As a result, he was implicated and not only was he punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night, he was also beaten with a stick."

"From then on, my brother was extremely disappointed with my father and grandmother. He simply lived in the academy and rarely came back. When he did, he would take me out to play for a day and then send me home safely. Later, my brother joined the military camp, and I saw him less and less. It was not until he got married that I could see him often again. But the good times didn't last long, and I entered the palace."

An Lingrong was a little envious, "Sister Xia, you and your brother have such a good relationship."

Xia Dongchun nodded. "Last year, when I first entered the palace and was beaten, I wrote a letter home. In the reply was a letter from my sister-in-law. She said that my brother cried all night after he found out. She said that he shouldn't have run to the academy in a fit of rage and left me alone in the Xia family. This was the thing he regretted most in his life."

"I guess the Imperial Concubine must have put a lot of thought into giving me the pony. I appreciate the favor."

Seeing that the two were in a bad mood, Xia Dongchun directly messed up their chessboards and said, "I tell you, don't envy me when the time comes. However, if you say a few nice things to me, I will still let you touch my flames."

"Lingrong, do you have brothers or sisters?" Su He didn't quite remember the situation of An Lingrong's family in the play.

"I have a younger brother who is 8 years younger than me. However, he is not liked by my father. If it weren't for the money I sent back, I'm afraid he would not have been enlightened at this age."

"Lingrong, have you ever considered bringing your mother and brother to the capital?"

Xia Dongchun also agreed, "Yes, we will make a lot of money if we open our store, so your brother can also receive a better education. If you have no place to live for the time being, you can live in my house. My father is the only one in my family now. My grandmother has had a stroke, and my father is the only one in the mansion, and he is often in the military camp and never comes back."

An Lingrong shook her head. "Given my mother's personality, I'm afraid she won't agree."

"But doesn't she care about your brother?"

"My brother is already studying, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore. In her heart, my father is still very important."

Su He thought of An Bihuai's escort of military rations to the Northwest, and was afraid that it would happen soon. "Lingrong, have you ever thought about what you would do if your father was thrown into prison for failing to do his job well? What about your mother and your brother?"
