Huang Qilun heard Gong Mengshu say this, hurriedly touched his neck, spread his hand and found that it was really stained with red women's lipstick marks, and scolded his mother in his heart, but he didn't admit it: "This, this is just a raw material for classmates to paint during the banquet, and it is definitely not a woman's lipstick print!"

"Is it really a lipstick print!" Gong Mengshu's calm eyes showed a touch of exhaustion and disappointment, she tried her best to hide the loss and melancholy in her heart, and said to Huang Qilun: "Husband and wife trust each other, I believe in you Qilun, but I hope you don't deliberately deceive me!"

"How could I deceive you?" Huang Qilun smiled weakly and said, "Can't you see my heart for you?"

Gong Mengshu was just silent and didn't answer.

Huang Qilun saw that Gong Mengshu was angry, and said: "Anyway, don't be careful, I am always single-minded to you, as long as you are not so cold to me, how can I go out to have fun?" Every time she made love, she either curled up in a ball in fear, or she was like a dead fish under him, unable to move. He felt that his patience with her seemed to have reached the limit, and the dissatisfaction and frustration in his heart had long filled his chest.

"Mengshu, are you being nicer to me?" Huang Qilun stepped forward and hugged Gong Mengshu again, whispering warmly in her ear, and a pair of eager hands began to move over her again.

But tonight's Gong Mengshu didn't have the slightest bit of restraint, she endured it for a long time, and finally pushed Huang Qilun away, and said: "Qilun, don't be like this first, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Let's discuss anything after we go to bed, I hope you can blow the pillow wind to me more," Huang Qilun smiled drunkenly, hugging Gong Mengshu and going to bed.

Gong Mengshu couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Huang Qilun's hand and threw it aside, and then said with a straight face: "Qilun, please listen to me well, is it okay?"

"Then what are you going to tell me? Then hurry up!" Huang Qilun was decisively rejected by Gong Mengshu, and his heart became angry, and he asked angrily.

"Something happened to my mother's family!" Gong Mengshu took a breath, the sour taste in his chest was bitter, "My second mother ran away, and my father was so angry that he had a stroke and was hospitalized." Now my mother's house is empty, but I still owe a medical bill to allow my father to continue treatment, so ...... Before you come back, I discussed with my mother, and I want to pawn my wedding jewelry to get through the trouble for the time being......"

"Then you just ask my mother directly, what to discuss with me?" Huang Qilun said, with a vague look of displeasure on his face.

"Mother said that she can't be the master, so let me discuss it with you......" Gong Mengshu slowed down her voice and begged Huang Qilun in a soft voice, "Qilun, is it okay?"

"This ......" Huang Qilun scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Mengshu, even if I agree, my mother may not be able to take out the jewelry and pawn it, after all, the medical expenses are a bottomless pit if you don't say it well, and you won't see an echo if you put it in." You see, if your father's condition improves, it is better to take him home for recuperation, which is not only convenient to take care of but also saves money, right?"

When Gong Mengshu heard Huang Qilun say this, his heart was only half cold. She bit her lip, still begging Huang Qilun without giving up: "Qilun, my father is very sick and must be hospitalized." You also know that I can't persuade my mother, so can I ask you to help me speak? She is always willing to listen to your words, you help me, just because I owe you, okay?"

"Owe me?" Huang Qilun took off his shoes and went to bed, lay on the bed on all fours and smiled, and said, "You also know that you owe me, but why can't you always fulfill my heart? You must know that you owe me not a little bit!"

Gong Mengshu heard what Huang Qilun said, she lowered her eyes and listened to his lesson silently.

"Look at how good I am to you, these days, if you are another man, how many people are willing to accept a woman like you?!I think you should be grateful to Dade, instead of holding a shelf every day, as if no one is worthy of you, and still see me as dust under your feet!" Huang Qilun borrowed the strength of the wine and poured out all the words in his heart. He endured Mengshu's decline in popularity for a long time, and it was inconvenient for Gong Mengshu to attack on the surface, but in fact, for him, it was still like choking in his throat, and he didn't vomit unpleasantly.

Before Huang Qilun's words were finished, Gong Mengshu's face had lost all its blood. She stood for a long time with empty eyes before she said quietly, "So you always minded me—"

"What man doesn't mind if his wife is used by other men first?" Huang Qilun sat up from the bed suddenly, pointed at Gong Mengshu's drunken strength, and went crazy with alcohol for a while: "My mother said, you are a woman who is virtuous on the surface and sassy in her bones! She also asked me to take a good look at you! Your second mother ran away with the money, how do I know if you are also going to elope with other men with jewelry?"

"Qilun, you, how can you talk like that?" Gong Mengshu's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and it took her a while to find her voice, and she choked up: "How can you look at me like this?"

"Why can't I say it? I only allow you to do good deeds, and I am not allowed to say it?" Huang Qilun came up with wine, and simply said happily: "So, you still stay at home honestly, help my mother do more work, don't think about your mother's family all day long, we can't afford to take care of your mother's affairs, and we don't want to take care of it!"

Gong Mengshu's face was pale, but at this moment, he raised his head and said resolutely to Huang Qilun: "No, I can't listen to you, I have to take care of my father!

"The more I talk about you, the more energetic you get!" Huang Qilun said with drunken eyes: "If you have so backbone, you can borrow it from someone else! Anyway, our Huang family will definitely not be able to control your mother's affairs!"

Gong Mengshu felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and heart, she stared at Huang Qilun like a stranger for a long time, and then said slowly: "Okay, I'll borrow it from someone else, so I don't bother you and your mother-" As she spoke, she turned around and walked out the door.

Huang Qilun was on the bed, and hurriedly called out to her: "It's so late, where are you going?" But Gong Mengshu didn't even look back, and walked out of the yard in a blink of an eye. In the heavy night, Gong Mengshu walked on the dirt road with one shallow foot, her body staggered, her heart was empty, so empty that she could hardly find herself in the world.

All hopes have been lost, all hopes are illusory, and it turns out that everything is just her deception. From marrying Huang Qilun on her own initiative to being forced to marry Huang Qilun after being physically and mentally created, it turned out that what she firmly chose for herself was not a smooth road, but a road of no return. The autumn night was cold, Gong Mengshu walked all the way blankly, the road ahead was vast, where was her home? She covered her cold face with her hands, but there were no tears.

Gong Mengshu walked alone for a long time in the dark night, and finally walked back to Gong's house, which was already empty.

She rummaged through the house for all the remaining things that could be sold for money, Erniang Wu seemed to have been planning for a long time, and all the valuable things were swept away by her, and even the valuable items in Gong Mengshu's boudoir were taken away. Gong Mengshu found the end, so he could only sit down slowly with his hands on a rattan chair, feeling very cold. One night husband and wife Bairien, I didn't expect Erniang to be so ruthless, she didn't even leave a little room for Gong Hongwen, could it be that her father's kindness to her in the past was all floating clouds? Gong Mengshu leaned on the rattan chair, closed her eyes tiredly, and didn't want to comment on the Wu family anymore.

There was a dead silence in the room, and there were signs of decay everywhere. Gong Mengshu rested for a while, got up with his tired body, and was about to tidy up the house again, but he heard the sound of people walking in the courtyard, which seemed to be mixed with the dull footsteps of horse boots hitting the bluestone ground. Her heart tightened, and the first thought that flashed was that Erniang Wu and her little brother were back, she hurriedly rushed out of the door, ran to the yard and shouted: "Is it Erniang?!"

But there was only one person standing in the courtyard, and the person who came was startled by Gong Mengshu's sudden shout, and then shouted in surprise: "Mengshu, you are at home!" The voice was crisp, but it was not Wu.

Gong Mengshu heard the familiar voice, looked at it, and shouted in disbelief: "Mo Lin! is it? You, why are you here?" The person who came was Cheng Molin, the third lady of the Cheng family who had not been seen for a long time!

Cheng Molin didn't say anything, rushed up and hugged Gong Mengshu, and said repeatedly: "Mengshu, so decent, why did you get married, you hate me to death! You know, I miss you so much!"

Gong Mengshu had mixed feelings, and also hugged Cheng Molin tightly, her eyes were slightly red, her nose was sour, and the two good friends hugged each other, crying and laughing. Gong Mengshu has only been married for more than two or three months since he returned home from Chengfu, but the two of them feel like they are separated from each other.

"Mengshu, are you okay?" Cheng Molin sniffed and asked Gong Mengshu with concern, "Are you...... Isn't it in the Huang family? Why are you here?"

Gong Mengshu forced a smile and said, "I'...... Have a good ...... It's okay, right? It's just that you didn't come by chance, my second mother ran away from home and took everything with her, including my little brother. My dad couldn't stand the irritation and got sick and was hospitalized, and my mother was taking care of him in the hospital, so the house is in a mess now, so I'll come back and take care of it-"

"Oh my God, how can this be?" Cheng Molin's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked in surprise.

Gong Mengshu shook his head and smiled bitterly, unable to answer Cheng Molin's question.

Cheng Molin sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, don't worry too much, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if you come, you will be safe, anyway, it is important to take good care of Gong Shibo, and put the rest in the back of your mind first——"

Gong Mengshu nodded gratefully, and wanted to pull Cheng Molin in to sit, but Cheng Molin stopped, she lowered her head and rummaged through her handbag, took out a pack of heavy cotton bags and stuffed it to Gong Mengshu, and said: "Mengshu, I know that you definitely need money now, you can use this money first, if it is not enough, you can find me again-"

"No need, Mo Lin, I understand your kindness, I will figure out how to deal with the money myself, I really don't need it!" Gong Mengshu was a little stunned by Cheng Molin's sudden move, but then reacted. Her self-esteem made her blush, and she wanted to push the silver dollar back to Cheng Molin.

Cheng Molin looked at Gong Mengshu and stomped his feet and said: "Mengshu, if you want to be polite to me, then you are really not enough friends!

"No, Mo Lin, I really don't need to, my father's medical expenses will be solved by myself, you don't have to do this-" Gong Mengshu insisted on his principles. It's not that she doesn't need money, but she doesn't want to owe the Cheng family any more favors, so she accepted this loan, and she will have to be involved with the Cheng family in the future, and she doesn't want to face anyone in the Cheng family again. If it weren't for Cheng Molin to come to see her, Gong Mengshu would not have taken the initiative to go to Cheng Molin, because seeing Cheng Molin's similar eyebrows reminded Gong Mengshu of the man who ruined her life.

"You accept it, Mengshu, just think I borrowed it, and when you find a way to repay me in the future, I will calculate the interest!" Cheng Molin was more persistent than Gong Mengshu, and she had to accept it.

Gong Mengshu was moved by Cheng Molin's sincere expression, and secondly, he was indeed desperate and needed money, so he had to take the silver dollar and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Mo Lin." ”

"Hey, who are we with whom!" Cheng Molin watched Gong Mengshu take the silver tael, and then breathed a sigh of relief, she held Gong Mengshu's arm affectionately, and smiled on her delicate face.

The two talked for a while, and Cheng Molin was about to say goodbye and leave. Gong Mengshu hurriedly stayed, but Cheng Molin said that there were still guests waiting at home and would come back another day, so Gong Mengshu had to reluctantly let her go. Cheng Molin didn't let Gong Mengshu send him out, saying that there was a driver waiting at the door, so she asked Gong Mengshu to hurry back to the house and continue to pack her things, so that she could go to the hospital early to accompany Mrs. Gong and the master.

Cheng Molin became so gentle and considerate that Gong Mengshu was a little impressed by her, thinking about how innocent and willful Cheng Molin was at the beginning, could it be that love made her so moving and gentle? Gong Mengshu looked at Cheng Molin and asked narrowly, "Is the guest waiting for you at home Li Zhehan?"

Seeing Cheng Molin's face flushed and her head lowered shyly, Gong Mengshu knew that she had guessed correctly, so she didn't hold on anymore and said, "Then be careful on the road." ”

Cheng Molin nodded in response, Gong Mengshu wanted to send it out again, Cheng Molin waved her hand again and again, took three steps and walked outside the courtyard, deliberately not letting Gong Mengshu follow her.

Gong Mengshu had to stand in the courtyard and stop, watching Cheng Molin's figure go out of the courtyard gate, and then the sound of the car starting came from outside the courtyard, Gong Mengshu listened in a daze for a long time before returning to the room. But at the moment of turning around, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in her heart: "Cheng Molin came to the door so coincidentally, could it be that she knew in advance that something had happened in her family, so she sent her a silver tael in the snow?" She looked at the heavy silver dollar in her hand, puzzled.

In the luxury car that gradually drove away from the Gong family, Cheng Molin sat in the back seat of the car, motionless and looked at the driver driving in front of him for a long time, before he said slowly: "Second brother, I helped you do good things, and now you have to agree to my conditions, right?"
