Only Zhao Shinan and Mallow were left in the room, and Mallow's hand re-scratched Zhao Shinan's neck. Zhao Shinan suddenly looked like an angry lion, threw the mallow out, and roared angrily: "Get out!"

Mallow fell to the ground, it hurt very much, looking at Zhao Shinan, her tears, which had always been strong, slid down. Zhao Shinan got up violently, and walked out again without looking back. That night, Zhao Shinan got drunk, woke up drunk, woke up and drank, and drank all night, others only said that the richest man in Yangzhou was happy, but they didn't know that his heart was empty.

After Zhao Shinan left, Malallow put on his clothes and walked out calmly. The old lady saw that she had only come out for so long, but she said that the matter had been completed, so she couldn't help but look at Malallow with a smile on her face, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still like Shi Nan?"

Mallow shook her head dejectedly, and the old lady's heart tightened, and she pulled Mallow to the porch of the back room, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mallow tears swirled in her eyes: "The young master was already upset, and he was reluctant to hold my hand, but the young grandmother suddenly knocked open the door, and the young master had no choice but to give up." ”

The old lady frowned tightly, and she was even more dissatisfied with Du Heng, she couldn't give birth and was in the way, dominating Shi Nan. The old lady looked at the men and women coming and going in the courtyard, and she was anxious and hateful, so many people relied on Shi Nan, but Shi Nan was the only one who did not have a queen. The old lady patted Mallow's hand and comforted: "I know, don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter." Mallow bowed her head and said nothing.

It was late at night, the flowing water mat was still going on, and Mallow couldn't sleep, walking alone in the yard, and a person walked by her, all of whom were so strange to her. If you don't know her, you don't know, and few are willing to greet her and call her "girl". She smiled coldly, people are powerful, and when she first entered the mansion, everyone only said that she was the future second wife, and she was respectful. And now that she has no name, Zhao Shinan and Du Heng are very affectionate, maybe in the eyes of others, she is a joke trying to fly on the branches.

But now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, there is no way forward, and she has no way back, can she still go back? When she returns to Gujiazhuang, how can she still face the elders of her neighbors? She hesitated.

On the stage in the backyard, the stage is still being set up, and tomorrow's play will be different from today's. It is the traditional drama "The Legend of the White Snake" of this Kunqu opera troupe, with the fight between Leifeng Pagoda and Shuiman Jinshan. Therefore, the platform should also rise and fall in accordance with the rise. When Mallow was a child, the village also came to sing "The Legend of the White Snake", and the melodrama was also familiar, but the team was small and the performance was not very exciting. Now that she saw it again, Mallow couldn't help but stop and look at it twice.

A few workers who set up the stage, as well as a few stewards of the opera troupe, someone asked: "How can you come to the Zhao family to sing in the hall? I heard that the Zhao family used to choose a team, and they were very selective." ”

One of the stewards replied: "Hey, we sang a birthday banquet for Master Sheng in the east of the city before, and when the young grandmother of the Zhao family was still a young lady, she heard our play, and now she has come to us again." So you have to sing it well, maybe one day there will be old customers who will come back to find -------."

Malallow didn't want to listen to the back, but only heard that this team was personally found by Du Heng, and his heart became more and more irritable.

At this time, a worker shouted: "Tie the rope at that end tightly, Cheng Xiaoyi will jump down in tomorrow's play." If the board is not set up well and stepped on the empty, something will happen. ”

The person next to him should respond. When the mallow looked closely, it was a platform that made two wooden planks into an aerial platform, simulating the shape of a bridge cable, which was hoisted with a rope and nailed to the back panel of the back wall.

A thought suddenly arose in Mallow heart, what would happen if the board fell? The team Du Heng was looking for, Zhang Luo's birthday banquet, if something happened, Du Heng's face would be gloomy. The old lady dislikes her even more, and maybe the young master will dislike her too. But this thought frightened Mallow a lot, when did he have such a vicious idea? Hurriedly walked back to Chuntang Pavilion.

But as soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard two girls who brought tea to the banquet, chatting while walking: "I heard that my clothes were taken off, but they were broken by the young grandmother." ”

The other was surprised: "Doesn't the young grandmother speak? If you encounter a spicy one, you won't go up and give you a few slaps." ”

"With less *** temperament, naturally I went out without saying anything. I really want to be the master and I want to go crazy. Don't look in the mirror either----" muttered the girl in the lead. The two of them didn't see the mallow and both walked to the front yard.

Mallow's hands and feet became cold, and sure enough, bad things spread thousands of miles, and in such a lively scene, some people paid attention to her movements, and they spread quickly. I don't know if it was Du Heng who deliberately let the wind go? The fire in Mallow was burning, and there was no way out, the way out was to drown in the ridicule and saliva of others. She can't retreat, this second wife's road, she can only keep running forward.

At three or four o'clock in the morning, the noisy night finally quieted down, the guests dispersed, and the people cleaned up the leftovers. Mallow changed into an indigo dress and walked to the stage. The lights were all gone, the clouds covered the moon, and the darkness of the night made the mallow seep a little. She walked to the shelf, and the planks were already set, and they were no more than three feet above the ground, and even if they fell, it would be fine, right?

Mallow comforted herself, took out a knife from her sleeve that usually peeled fruit, and cut it at the thick hemp rope that tied the board. The side that is carried on the back of the table was deliberately chosen, so that the rope was not easy to see if there was a gap. Half cut, mallow heart is about to jump out. Although she was articulate and quick-witted, the first time she did such a blatant thing was the girl's house, and she was dizzy and didn't know how much she had cut, and when she heard footsteps coming, she hurriedly ran back from behind the curtain behind the shelf.

When I arrived at the house, I was already covered in a cold sweat, as if I had been washed with water. Su Wen, who was sleeping outside, snorted and woke up: "The girl is out?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I went to the yard to breathe. Mallow tried her best to suppress the trembling of her voice, went back to the back room, and sat with her hands and knees folded all night.

The next day, she went to serve the old lady with two big dark circles under her eyes, but the old lady only thought that she was depressed, and she felt that she couldn't stand her.

Zhao Shinan finally woke up from drunkenness in the morning, and Du Heng had already gone out to greet today's events. Zhao Shinan was depressed, and walked to the front hall after washing, but found that there were many people from the police station hanging in front of the door, and couldn't help but come forward and ask, "What's the matter?"

An inspector came over and said to him: "Last night I received a secret report that I saw a revolutionary party nearby. We were sent from above. ”

"How to find it?" Zhao Shinan frowned and said, "My old lady is still holding a birthday banquet, don't spoil everyone's interest." ”

"No, no, no. The inspector recognized Zhao Shinan, and he didn't dare to offend, so he said with a smile, "It's just an ordinary blockage on the street, how can you disturb the house." Every day they say that there is a revolutionary party, but they don't really see a few, so they just respond to it. ”

"That's good. Zhao Shinan put his mind at ease, and a smile appeared on his face, "Even so, come in and have two drinks with the brothers at noon, and you can relieve your fatigue." ”

The inspector had a smile on his face: "Good, good. ”

Zhao Shinan turned around and went back to the house, and saw that Du Heng had changed into a long-sleeved shirt in the color of a Hunan concubine, his hair was plain and straight, and he had pinned a green hosta. was walking towards the back kitchen, and when he saw Zhao Shinan head-on, he only lifted his eyelids, and his expression did not move at all.

The fire in Zhao Shinan's heart arched, but he couldn't send it out. He didn't know how she could be so calm and relaxed, whether she had a ghost in her heart or a gas, she could be so indifferent. Zhao Shinan couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay today?"

Du Heng's voice was cold: "It's okay." You don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhao Shinan only felt that the blood in her chest was rolling, her look, was she angry, or did it not matter? Before he could think of anything to say, Du Heng had already turned around and walked back. Just hung him there. Zhao Shinan's heart was numb, Du Heng had never treated him with such an indifferent expression. Could it be that I went too far last night? I was upset, and I couldn't help but keep my eyes on Du Heng in the morning, but Du Heng never looked at him again. Zhao Shinan was very angry, and it happened that the old lady was afraid that he would drink as much as yesterday, so she simply asked him to sit beside him.

In the morning, the next day's congregation began. The second is the Legend of the White Snake, Du Heng was going to the backyard to take care of the guests' gift list, but after hearing the lyrics of the White Snake, he stopped and stood next to the stage. Shuangye beside him asked, "Is this play good for young grandma?"

"Sounds good. Du Heng's heart, which had been aching all night, was a little numb when he listened to the lyrics at the moment, "The lyrics of this play are exquisite, and they are not dull." Futaba didn't understand, and only a passage of "Broken Bridge-Golden Luosuo" floated in his ears: "I used to be with Luan Fengshu, counting on the neck of the mandarin duck." I don't remember that I had a three-life certificate at that time, and now I have this feeling. Turning back on the former alliance, you listen to slander and harden your heart. It's hateful to think about it. I don't feel full of anger. You're so lucky. ”

Shuangye didn't feel anything, but Du Heng had already listened to it, and turned his head to look at Zhao Shinan who was sitting next to the old lady on the second floor and the mallow who was standing, and he didn't realize that tears were overflowing.

At this time, the white snake and Xiaoqing in the play had already begun to walk on the "bridge" built by the wooden plank, and the weight of the two of them began to shake the wooden plank. Cheng Xiaoyi, who plays Bai Suzhen, is the master of the house, and she has acted a lot, and she is rarely as shaky as today. I didn't feel the strength under my feet, and I wanted to hold the board more steadily. But the one who played Xiaoqing was a novice, and such a scene had already panicked. I forgot to read it in my mouth, and it shook with the plank.

The people watching the play saw the good show now, and some people were already booing, Xiaoqing was even more anxious, so she simply grabbed Bai Suzhen, and the two shook it hard, and the half of the rope on the wooden board couldn't hold it off, and the instantaneous momentum actually pulled the wooden back board down.

Du Heng only felt that a huge wooden board connected with the colorful silk on it collapsed and pressed overwhelmingly towards his head. The speed is so fast, there are things blocking the left and right, and there are people behind him, so he can't run out at all. In desperation, he turned his head to look at Zhao Shinan, Zhao Shinan had already stood up, and was about to jump from the second floor, but was pulled by the mallow and grabbed his sleeve: "Young master, you can't jump." Take the stairs. ”

Du Heng looked at Zhao Shinan, who was pulled by mallow, and closed his eyes in despair. Suddenly, a powerful force dragged Du Heng and Shuangye to knock open the wooden boxes stacked on the right and rushed out.
