Chapter 44 Autumn Fruits, Spring Blossoms, Withering and Glory

Torrential rain poured down. At that time, Ruikai was drenched in rain from the time he went out and got in the car to the time he left. When he was about to get into the car, he seemed to hesitate to look back in the rain, and then got into the car under Lu Qingqing's repeated urging. After closing the car door, the high-end sedan slowly drove out of the gate of Cheng's house, and countless muddy splashes were splashed where the wheels ran over.

The family who saw off the family at the Cheng Mansion had a very good opinion on this unsuitable rainstorm. Mrs. Cheng was a little worried, worried about the danger of the car sliding out of the road, but Cheng Chazhong insisted on asking for good luck, and said: "What do you women and Taoists know! It is an auspicious omen to go out and have a rainy day, and Ruikai's future will definitely be bright and smooth!" Before the words fell, a flash of thunder exploded above his head, shocking his whole body, and the second half of the sentence was swallowed into his throat, and he suddenly lost his voice.

In the car, Lu Qingqing took a dry handkerchief and carefully and gently wiped Cheng Ruikai's wet hair and coat, and his eyes were full of affection. But Cheng Ruikai didn't have any expression, just leaned back on the back of the seat, his two long legs stretched out at will, and his thoughtful eyes looked straight ahead indifferently.

"What's wrong with you, why do you want to go to the rain?" Lu Qingqing used his slender fingers as a nail rake, gently shaking Cheng Ruikai's damp short hair, and asked softly. At this moment, she does not have the coldness and nobility shown in front of outsiders, and she is just delicate and considerate like a little woman. But Cheng Ruikai didn't respond to her sound, even though she leaned affectionately on the side of his shoulder, his arms were still indifferently crossed in front of his chest, a posture that was obviously repulsive from distance.

has also been in contact with a lot these days, and Lu Qingqing probably understands that Cheng Ruikai is not a person who talks much, so he doesn't care about his anger at the moment. Lu Qingqing heard from his father that he had to grasp this husband well. According to his father, judging from the comprehensive evaluation of all parties, Cheng Ruikai is young, hardworking, ambitious and very skillful, and is a promising military general who will become a great weapon in the future. Although Cheng Ruikai has a cold temperament, his handsomeness and domineering, as well as his literary talent and martial arts strategy, make her heart break.

She is also a woman who has seen the world, although she has also had a boyfriend in Liuyang, but it is the first time she has met a man with excellent conditions like Cheng Ruikai, so she was captured by him for the first time. I heard that before her, he had a concubine, and he doted on that concubine very much, and I also saw with my own eyes how he spoke for the concubine. She is a trendy woman, and at first she wanted to insist that Cheng Ruikai not marry a concubine, but after seeing him, she found that she had no resistance to him, and she only wanted to be his wife, as for the rest, she didn't want to care too much for the time being. The most important thing is that she doesn't want to offend Cheng Ruikai first.

She had seen the woman who was going to share a husband with her in the future, she didn't take Gong Mengshu in her eyes at all, in terms of family background and beauty, how could she be better than that Gong Mengshu?

"Brother Kai, this time I went to Nanjing, don't worry, I will definitely ask my uncle to arrange a good position for you!" Seeing Cheng Ruikai's lack of interest, Lu Qingqing's eyes rolled, and he changed the topic to arouse Cheng Ruikai's interest.

Sure enough, Cheng Ruikai finally opened Chrysostom and said, "Thank you very much." The tone was still very light.

"What are you polite to me?" Lu Qingqing put his face on Cheng Ruikai's shoulder, and said softly and shyly: "We are about to be husband and wife, no matter what happens in the future, we will all be people in the same boat, the husband is honored and the wife is expensive, and the husband is disgraced and the wife is humiliated! Don't worry, I will do my best to help you!"

When Cheng Ruikai heard this, his iron-like face cracked slightly, revealing a little expression, he raised his arm, patted her shoulder lightly in a reassuring manner, and said, "It's hard for you......"

"You know that my heart for you is good......" Lu Qingqing glanced at Cheng Ruikai with disgust, the delicate body that was originally attached to his shoulder gradually moved to his chest, watery eyes just stared at him, Cheng Ruikai understood, and finally pulled out his arm and took her in his arms, Lu Qingqing snuggled in front of Cheng Ruikai's broad chest full of manliness and sighed softly with satisfaction, intoxicated and did not know the way forward.

Cheng Ruikai didn't know, in fact, when he left that day, Gong Mengshu kept watching him leave. When the car drove away from the Cheng family's compound, Gong Mengshu flashed out from behind the pillars of the corridor, silently watching the car go away, and a certain corner of her heart, with the disappearance of Cheng Ruikai's back, also vacant a large piece.

For Cheng Ruikai's parting this time, Gong Mengshu has no longing for reunion in his heart, and some are just dead silence after all thoughts are lost.

It rained heavily for several days, and there was so much water in the yard that I couldn't even go to the garden. Gong Mengshu had never seen such frequent rain in this season, and if it continued to pour at this rate, it was estimated that the entire city would be submerged.

The weather was abnormal and she was depressed, her cold and fever were not completely broken, and she recurred after a while, so she didn't go to school, and just spent a boring time on the sickbed all day.

The weather was bad and she couldn't go out, the second wife Man Zhen also came to visit Gong Mengshu once, and there were just the two of them in the house, and Man Zhen also deliberately opened Cheng Molin and closed the door before sitting down in front of Gong Mengshu's bed.

Gong Mengshu opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the second wife Man Zhen sitting on the edge of the bed, first stunned, and then startled, unconsciously propping up her weak body and shrinking into the bed.

Man Zhen stared at Gong Mengshu for a while, and said slowly, "Are you afraid of me?"

Gong Mengshu was just silent, she pursed her lips, and her pale face carried a kind of alienation of refusal.

"I know you have thoughts about me in your heart," Man Zhen saw that Gong Mengshu was vigilant and wary of her like a thief, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "The incident of the fourth aunt indirectly hurt her......

Gong Mengshu admitted it when she saw that her second aunt was so refreshing, and she was slightly stunned.

"I admit it, I hate the third and fourth aunts in my heart, so I set up a set, the troupe was invited by me, and Shiro is also familiar to me, I was not very sure about the bureau at the beginning, but I never thought that things would get to such a point......" Man Zhen sighed, and his face darkened.

"Fourth aunt, she's dead!" Gong Mengshu stared at Man Zhen word for word.

"Yes, I know I'm sorry for her, I originally planned to let the third aunt take the bait first, and then dissipate her arrogance, but the fourth aunt actually fell into it first, and it fell so deeply...... I didn't expect that......" Man Zhen twisted her slender fingers, and she could see that she was a little uneasy in her heart.

"Why do you want to tell me this?" Gong Mengshu sat up, leaned on the pillow and stared at the second wife and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will denounce you and that Shiro?"

"I'm not afraid. Man Zhen looked directly at Gong Mengshu and did not avoid her gaze.

"Why?" Gong Mengshu asked.

"Because you and I are the same kind of people!You won't bear to have Mo Lin, she won't have a mother from now on!" Man Zhen said confidently.

Gong Mengshu was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head speechlessly, seemingly agreeing with Man Zhen's judgment.

"Don't think I'm too terrible, although I'm an indirect murderer, I, like you, am a concubine with no name, so in the future, you will definitely understand my mood at this time-" Man Zhen was sincere with Gong Mengshu.

"But don't you think you're too cruel? That's a hurtful thing! And the fact that you are with Shiro is not very fair to the master......" Gong Mengshu frowned, not wanting to listen to Manzhen's explanation anymore.

"Fair?" Man Zhen sneered, "I've been with my master for most of my life, and he would rather have the position of the main house vacant for decades than give me a regular, do you think he's fair? That third aunt chews the root of my tongue behind my back every day, trying every possible way to find opportunities to slander me, trying to force me to have no way out, do you say she is cruel or am I cruel?

Gong Mengshu was robbed by Manzhen, and he had nothing to say. After a while, she said in a low voice: "I have always thought that you are sincere to Master Cheng, don't you show that you care about him everywhere?......"

"Poof," Man Zhen laughed out loud and said, "Mengshu, you are really simple sometimes, I warn you, don't be sincere to men, just pretend to be like you, even if you fall out of favor in the future, you won't feel so bad! Then Miss Lu doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp, and your life won't be better than mine in the future!"

"Look at me, while I'm still young, find a man who can know cold and hot to hurt myself, and it won't be in vain for me to come to this world for a while! As for those stinky men, let them cuckold to their heart's content!" Man Zhen said with a smile, her delicate face was still dignified, and her manners were myriad, but Gong Mengshu looked a little worried.

"You take care of your illness, when you get better, I'll ask Mo Lin to take you out for a walk, don't stay bored in the house," Man Zhen finished speaking, stood up, and said, "You live a happy life for a few days first, and when the second young master comes back with Miss Lu, I'm afraid you won't have much free time......"

Gong Mengshu sat on the bed, watching Man Zhen twist her thin waist and walk out, Man Zhen has always given Gong Mengshu a kind of impression of a lady who is sitting upright, gentle and dignified, at this moment she looked at Man Zhen's back, and found that in fact, the more dignified and old-fashioned women are enchanting and charming, the more lawless they are.
