Huang Qilun changed color slightly when he heard this, and involuntarily turned his eyes to look at Gong Mengshu, and Gong Mengshu's gaze stayed on the empty white cloth on the bed, and his still crimson face became whiter than the white cloth.

"Qilun-I-" Gong Mengshu saw that Huang Qilun listened to Huang's mother's words and walked straight to the bed and reached out to get the white cloth, she bit her bloody lower lip, wanting to explain something to him, but it was difficult to speak.

Huang Qilun picked up the white cloth without saying a word, folded it, put it in his pocket, and then straightened up and said seriously to Gong Mengshu: "Mengshu, I once swore that as long as I am my wife Huang Qilun, I will be good to her for the rest of my life." Although to be honest, last night ...... I was a little surprised last night, but—I believe in my heart that you are pure, and that's enough—"

"Qilun-" Gong Mengshu raised his eyes to look at Huang Qilun, and when he saw his sincere expression, his heart couldn't help but be sour, bitter and sweet. She choked with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, I, I swear to you that from now on, I will be single-minded to you-"

Huang Qilun approached Gong Mengshu, stretched out his arms to hug her, Gong Mengshu leaned his head on Huang Qilun's shoulder, timidly hugged him with his backhand, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, and quietly wet the clothes on his shoulders.

Huang Qilun hugged Gong Mengshu, feeling happy that he had finally completely captured Gong Mengshu's body and mind, but he was a little worried about how to explain the ins and outs of this white cloth to his mother and the neighbors.

In the small and stuffy kitchen of the Huang family, Huang's mother is sweating and washing dishes and making steamed dishes, preparing snacks for the neighbors to enjoy when they come to join in the fun, although she spent most of the family's savings for her son's marriage, but she is a strong person, and she doesn't want others to see the shabby of the Huang family. Sometimes she bent over and was busy, sometimes she straightened up and beat her sore waist, turned around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Huang Qilun sneakily flashing into the kitchen, as if looking for something.

Huang's mother asked Huang Qilun: "Qilun, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Although the Huang family has declined, Huang's mother still follows the ancestral precept of "men pay attention to reading and neglect cooking", and devotes herself to Huang Qilun's study on weekdays, even if he is the busiest and most tired, she rarely lets him go to the kitchen to help.

Huang Qilun was shocked, turned around and smiled: "No...... Nothing ......."

But Huang Mu still saw that he was holding a pair of scissors used to cut fish fins in the kitchen.

"What are you doing with the scissors?" Huang Mu asked with a raised voice.

Huang Qilun dodged and refused to say, Huang Mu put down the work at hand, walked in front of Huang Qilun, carefully looked at the scissors in his hand for a moment, raised her eyes and found a dazzling white from his arms, she stretched out her hand and pulled out a piece of white cloth from his arms, Huang Mu saw the white cloth that was nothing, her face changed suddenly, and she said loudly: "What's going on?!"

Huang Qilun was just speechless. Huang Mu looked at him cowering and afraid of things, and suddenly became angry, and scolded hatefully: "Look at your broken virtues! You didn't listen to the daughter of our country squire who was introduced by the matchmaker, and wanted to marry a small family girl!

Huang Qilun dodged his mother's sharp eyes, hung his head and didn't dare to say anything.

"Are you going to use your own blood to fill it up?" Huang Mu had already guessed a few points, and her whole body trembled with anger, so she couldn't wait to jump out of the kitchen and scold Gong Mengshu.

Huang Qilun saw that his mother was angry and hurriedly comforted: "Mother, listen to me-"

"What do you say?" Huang Mu was so angry that she pinched Huang Qilun and scolded loudly: "I am angry when I look at you being played around by women, how can you say that I gave birth to such a wrecked thing as you!"

Huang Qilun saw that his mother was angry and hurriedly comforted: "Mother, Mengshu is not the kind of person you imagined......"

"You're still protecting her!, so what's the matter with this white cloth?" said Huang Mu angrily.

Huang Qilun was speechless, searching his stomach and trying to say something to ease his mother's excitement, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Gong Mengshu, who was neatly dressed, quietly standing at the kitchen door and watching them at some point. Her lips were pale, her dark eyes were full of water, and the pitiful look like a wounded deer made Huang Qilun's heart tremble suddenly, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to his mother: "Mother, let me tell you the truth, in fact, I, Mengshu and I have been together for a long time, and we have already ...... What's that...... So it's normal that there are no blood stains on the white cloth......"

"You stinky boy! What are you not good at learning, you actually learned to get on the bus first and then make up the ticket!" Huang Mu heard Huang Qilun say this, her tense face eased a little, and she also caught a glimpse of Gong Mengshu out of the corner of her eye, but she still said: "Girls always have to be self-respecting, why do they follow you to mess around? If you don't marry, how can she still marry?"

Gong Mengshu stood at the door, his face was white and red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it. Huang Qilun hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed his mother and said, "Mother, don't say it anymore, we know it's wrong, if you want to blame it, blame your son for being too impulsive-"

"You stinky boy!" Huang Mu sighed and said, "I owe you in my last life, so I deserve to be a cow and a horse for you in this life!

Huang Qilun hesitantly handed the white cloth to his mother, Huang Mu snatched it, picked up a kitchen knife from the cutting board, and said impatiently: "You guys hurry up and help me, so that I can make some food preparations in the kitchen, and I will go catch a chicken and kill it!"

Huang Mu threw the blood-stained chastity cloth to Huang Qilun, and didn't look at Gong Mengshu, but said coldly: "That's all for today, you two must be obedient to me in the future, don't make trouble for me again!" Huang Qilun hugged his mother and just smiled, while Gong Mengshu, who was washing dishes in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up, his face turned red, and the blush of shame spread to the back of her neck, and she didn't dare to look up at Huang Mu again.

Gong Mengshu's most feared turmoil finally passed so calmly, Gong Mengshu was grateful for Huang Qilun's generosity and protection of her, and she didn't have much affection for him, but after these torments, she began to have a new understanding of him, so she looked different. So the young couple got married, although they are not like glue, but they are also harmonious.

On the third day after marriage, Huang Qilun returned to Ning with Gong Mengshu. Huang's mother was busy resuming the business of supplying dim sum shops, and she didn't care about these trivial matters, and when Gong Mengshu came to say goodbye to her, she only bowed her head slightly, and didn't raise her head: "Well, I know, you guys can go and ask my mother-in-law for me." The tone of his voice was only light, and there was not much sincere enthusiasm.

Gong Mengshu didn't dare to say much when he saw this, and after saluting respectfully, he went out with Huang Qilun.

Mrs. Gong Wu Peisi has been waiting at the door of Gong's house for a long time, and since the day Gong Mengshu got married, she has been unable to sleep and eat, fidgeting, and always holding her heart. Seeing Huang Qilun accompanying Gong Mengshu down from the rickshaw, she hurriedly took three steps and two steps, greeted her and shouted: "Mengshu, you're back!"

Gong Mengshu saw her mother's haggard face and red and swollen eyes, and her nose was sore and about to cry, she quickly resisted the urge to cry, and forced a smile ......on her face: "Mother, aren't I coming back?"

Wu Peisi saw that although Gong Mengshu's eyebrows were not happy, she also did not see the sad appearance, and then looked at Huang Qilun's every move to Gong Mengshu, and a heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go slightly. She took Gong Mengshu's hand, turned around and let Huang Qilun into the house, and shouted affectionately: "Old man, our aunts and girls are coming home, let them enter the house, come into the house!"

But Gong Hongwen still doesn't have a good impression of Huang Qilun, after entering the house, Gong Mengshu was pulled by his mother to say something considerate, Huang Qilun went to the study to ask Gong Hongwen for peace, he was looking at the newspaper, and after a few "uh-huh" sounds, he no longer paid attention to Huang Qilun. Huang Qilun was left to dry and bored, so he had to come out to play in the yard with Gong Mengshu's younger brother Gong Qilin.

Gong Hongwen's concubine Wu was drying quilts in the yard when she saw the good weather, and when she saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled: "I said uncle, you and Qilin have played so well, it can be seen that you are also a good man who loves children." You, work harder, hurry up and have a precious son with the eldest lady as soon as possible, lest if you are not careful, Meng Shuke will be asked back by others again!"

"Asked to go back by someone else?" Huang Qilun's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Wu and said, "Erniang, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything else," Wu Shi glanced at Huang Qilun, and said with a coquettish expression: "I just envy Mengshu's good fortune, the two men I am looking for are all talents, and they are much stronger than me!"

Huang Qilun was silent for a moment when he heard this, lowered his voice and asked, "Erniang, who is the other man besides me?!"

"Oh, I'm just joking," Wu saw that Huang Qilun began to blush and his neck was thick, and hurriedly covered it up: "Don't worry too much, uncle, if you have any suspicions about Mengshu because of my words, then I will be guilty! In fact, you must know the man I am talking about, it is the second young master of the Cheng family." I didn't say that they had any ambiguous relationship, but our family Mengshu grew up with the second young master of the Cheng family since he was a child - you have to ask Mengshu about the two of them......"

Huang Qilun's face darkened when he heard this, and all the fun disappeared in an instant. He returned the ball in his hand to Gong Qilin, walked to the side of the courtyard alone and thought about his thoughts, listening to the Wu family behind him as if he was secretly snickering at him, he suddenly felt that his back was hot, and a nameless fire slowly rose up, but there was nowhere to attack, and he was just uncomfortable.

Mrs. Gong whispered to Gong Mengshu in the Buddhist hall, and the first thing she did after closing the door was to ask Gong Mengshu in a whisper: "How is it?

Gong Mengshu looked at the Guanyin Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddha Hall, his face turned red, and gradually turned a little white. She lowered her head and said softly, "Mother, he found out......"

"Didn't my mother give you a bottle? How could it be like this?" Mrs. Gong's face was as pale as Gong Mengshu.

"I accidentally lost the small bottle, so I have no choice but to ...... it" Gong Mengshu smiled miserably, and when she saw Mrs. Gong frowning, she comforted her: "But mother, Qilun didn't blame me, so it's okay, lest I have to go to great lengths to cover it up, and it's not a taste in my heart......"

"How can you be so careless!" Mrs. Gong sighed, but she didn't let go of her heart because of Gong Mengshu's persuasion. "You don't know the psychology of men, no matter what, he still has a ......knot in his heart after all" Mrs. Gong looked at Gong Mengshu with her words and showed a worried look, and said: "But as you said, since things are already like this, Qilun is good to you, so in the future, you will follow him well, serve him, and be a husband and wife for a hundred nights, my mother hopes that you can grow old together in the future, and you will always be like this......"

"I know, mother, don't worry about me—" Gong Mengshu leaned her head on her mother's shoulder and replied in a low voice.

Mrs. Gong bowed her head, and after being silent for a long time, she suddenly said, "The Cheng family only sent a congratulatory gift yesterday......

Hearing the word "Cheng family", Gong Mengshu jumped in shock, and his lips suddenly lost blood.

"The gifts are very valuable, all precious things that neither your father nor I have ever seen. The subordinates of the Cheng family who gave gifts said that the Cheng family had delayed coming to drink the wedding wine because of something at home, and they had only sent someone to make up for the congratulatory gifts in the past two days-" Mrs. Gong said in a low voice, her face a little strange.

Gong Mengshu didn't notice the tone of her mother's speech, she just bit her pale lip desperately, she looked at the Guanyin statue in the Buddhist hall in a daze, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart, but she was speechless.

"I discussed it with your father, since the Cheng family sent it all the way, let's keep it for the time being, and when the second young master or the third lady get married in the future, we will also share the big gift, so that we don't feel that we owe anyone anything...... "Mrs. Gong patted Gong Mengshu on the shoulder and said in a low voice.

Gong Mengshu didn't answer anything, just buried his face in his mother's arms and didn't say anything for a long time.

Mrs. Gong noticed the wetness on the front of her clothes, and her heart was sour, she knew that Cheng Ruikai was Gong Mengshu's heartache in this life, but it was inconvenient to persuade more, just stroked Gong Mengshu's shoulder to express comfort, but her heart was also bitter.

In fact, Mrs. Gong, the person who gave the gift, knew that she was the housekeeper of the Cheng family, and the housekeeper said: "Mrs. Gong, please don't blame the Cheng family for being rude, I didn't give the gift until now." The second young master already knew about the bastard things he did in the Gong family a few days ago, and everyone thought that since Miss Gong was the second young master's person, the marriage would definitely not be counted, and even the second young master himself thought so. The second young master originally planned to take Miss Gong back to Chengfu in a few days, but who would have thought that you would still marry Miss Gong out! The second young master only learned the news yesterday, and he almost went crazy at home and had to come out to make trouble, and was severely beaten by the master with family methods, and his injuries were so serious that he couldn't even get up, and now he is still lying in bed to recuperate! The master is really beating to the death this time, it seems that he is really angry!"

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Gong Hongwen and Mrs. Gong's faces turned pale, and no one said a word.

When the housekeeper left, he also said in particular: "Master Cheng asked me to come over because I wanted to tell you and Master Gong that the two adults of Cheng and Gong were originally well-intentioned, who would have thought that things would evolve like this, and today I specially sent a big gift, one is to accompany Miss Gong for the second young master, and secondly, I also hope to help Miss Gong a little, so that she can live with peace of mind from now on......

Gong Hongwen sighed "sigh" at this time, and stomped his foot heavily. And the corners of Mrs. Gong's mouth just had a sad smile, thinking that this was going to be a big gift to make a break?

There was cigarette smoke in the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Gong held a rosary in one hand, caressed Gong Mengshu's back with the other, and looked at her daughter's delicate appearance, and felt pity in her heart. She suddenly felt that there were some things that she still didn't want Gong Mengshu to know well, so let's just pass it.

Mrs. Gong originally wanted to stay at home for a few more days, but Huang Qilun didn't seem to be able to stay, and Gong Mengshu had to say goodbye to her parents in advance and go back to her in-law's house. Anyway, the Huang family is not far from the Gong family, and if you really want to come back, you can still come back often.

Mrs. Gong sent Gong Mengshu and Huang Qilun out alone, and watched the rickshaw gradually disappear from view, still standing in the evening twilight.

A gust of wind blew, and Mrs. Gong suddenly felt a little cool. The yellowing leaves of the plane trees on both sides of the road fell to the ground with the bleak wind, curling at the feet, and it turned out that autumn was so silently approaching.
