The goose-feathered snow fell silently from the sky, falling to the ground and quickly mixing with the filthy muddy water.

The woman on the deck looked to be in her early twenties, her damp and cold heavy clothes clinging to her body like a second skin, and although she was embarrassed, she could see that she was very well maintained. It's just that at this moment, her face is as pale as paper, the corners of her hair and clothes are dripping with water, and the corners of her mouth are constantly foaming like a dying fish.

Fortunately, Feng Qi reacted very quickly and jumped into the water with her, and barely fished her out. If she had taken a step at night, the woman would have been hit alive by the heavy cargo ship, if not drowned.

After a violent vomit on the ground, the woman finally came to her senses. She sat up with difficulty on her thin shoulders, her silver teeth creaking from the cold. Faced with Hua Lianyue's inquiry, she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Hua Lianyue frowned and said to Liu Hui: "Look at her clothes, she should be the family of a merchant on the ship." Why don't you ask the ship's steward to see if you can find her family? ”

"It's okay!" Liu Hui turned around and wanted to leave.

The woman raised her head abruptly and said hoarsely, "Please stay, if you really find my family, I'm afraid I won't survive." Hearing what she said so sadly, Liu Hui had no choice but to stand still.

Although the woman didn't want to make a public announcement, there was a lot of noise when she rescued people before, and many people had already gathered around. So all kinds of discussions came into their ears endlessly:

"If such a tall boat falls and can be fished up, this woman is really fateful. ”

"This woman is in good shape, and it would be a pity if she died. ”

"Hey, I look familiar. ”

"Come on, as long as there is a little bit of posture, you will look familiar. ”

The surrounding chatter has become more and more unbearable, and the woman must be arrogant, and her face, which was originally pale from fright, gradually turned red in the face of the obscene glances cast from time to time around her.

She protected her curvy body with one hand, and grabbed the hem of Hua Liyue's clothes with the other, and begged in a low voice: "This lady is good, I really can't go back to see people with this appearance, can you borrow your place for me to clean up." ”

Hua Lianyue nodded, took her cloak and put it on her shoulder, and said, "You come with me!"

She didn't deliberately comfort this woman who was still begging for death before, and since she could think about the face problem at this moment, it was enough to prove that she had dispelled the idea of seeking death. After all, it takes a lot of courage to seek death, and after trying it once, you won't want to try it a second time.

No matter how difficult the hurdles are, it is better to die than to live.

.......

Feng Qi and Liu Hui had already avoided going out, the woman took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, held the hot ginger soup in her hand, and stepped on the hot smoke cage under her feet, only to feel that she was alive again.

She bowed slightly to Hua Lianyue again, and said, "Thank you Madame for helping, I don't know what Madame should call me?"

Hua Lianyue noticed that what she said was helping, not saving, and her heart moved, and the expression on her face faded a little. She reached out and took the milk tea, took a sip slowly, and said, "My husband's surname is Huo, but in fact, this is just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." ”

"It turned out to be Mrs. Huo. The rescued woman saw that her expression was faint, and she did not pretend to be a life-saving benefactor, and she was also relieved. She hesitated for a moment, and said with some curtle: "There is one more thing I want to ask Mrs. Huo for a favor." ”

Hua Lianyue put down the teacup and said, "Please speak." ”

The woman pointed to the dirty clothes she had changed on the side, and said, "Please Mrs. Huo have the idea of washing and ironing my clothes...... " She saw that Hua Lianyue's expression was a little lighter, and she felt that it was a little excessive, but she had to bite the bullet and say: "Madame, don't blame, because I wear this when I go out, if I change it when I go back, my family will inevitably think more." ”

Hearing this, Hua Lianyue also realized that the woman's concerns in front of her were not unreasonable, she stood up and said, "You wait!" Then she reached out and picked up those wet clothes, and went straight out of the hatch.

She didn't take Xiaoxiao with her on this trip, and it was impossible for her to surrender her identity to help this inexplicable woman wash her clothes, so she planned to find a guy and give a few rewards, that is.

When she saw Fu'er walking in front of her with a small tea tray filled with lacquer, she saw Hua Lianyue, and immediately became blessed, and said with a sweet smile: "I've seen the young lady." ”

Hua Lianyue nodded and admitted: "Miss Fu'er doesn't have to be polite. ”

Fu'er rolled her eyes, saw the wet clothes in her hand, and hurriedly said, "Young lady, are these clothes ready to be washed?"

"Not bad!"

"Leave such a small thing to me. Fu'er hurriedly took the clothes in her hand and said, "I'll send it to you when I'm done washing and ironing." ”

Hua Lianyue thought about it for a while, there was still that woman's dirty clothes and pants in this pile of clothes, and it was indeed more appropriate to hand them over to Fu'er than to those guys, so she nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will work for you." He hurriedly shoved a few silver horns into her hand.

"The young lady is too polite. Fu'er took the reward and walked away quickly with the clothes.

Liu Hui and Feng Qi were wandering outside the corridor, and they paced over when they saw this. Liu Hui frowned and said, "Just send her back, why do you wash her clothes." ”

Hua Lianyue sighed helplessly and said, "Looking at this posture, I won't be able to leave for a while." You and Feng Qi don't blow the cold wind outside in vain, let's go back to the house to warm up!"

Feng Qi hurriedly said: "I'll go to the casino to play a few games, and I'm not here to stare at you with big eyes." With that, he waved his hand and strode away in a dashing manner.

The woman was sitting at the table and sipping the ginger soup, but her eyes were dull and her expression was solemn, and she didn't know what she was thinking. I saw Liu Hui come in with Hua Lianyue. Startled, he hurriedly got up and saluted sideways.

Liu Hui waved his hand lightly and said, "No need to be polite!" His voice was clear and warm, and the woman couldn't help but look up, but she was stunned.

The light on the deck was dim and unclear before, and she was flustered, cold and afraid, so naturally she didn't have time to pay too much attention to Liu Hui. Now that the lights are bright, she can really see Liu Hui's appearance, he is so handsome and noble, and his bearing is extraordinary. She was stunned for a moment before lowering her eyelids in a slightly flustered manner.

Liu Hui had already lifted the curtain and went straight into the room.

Hua Lianyue said to the woman: "Your clothes have been washed, but if you want to dry them, I am afraid that it will take some time, and I ...... tonight."

The woman hurriedly said: "If Mrs. Huo is not inconvenient, it is better to take advantage of the soft collapse for me to shelter temporarily." ”

Hua Lianyue frowned and said, "It's not inconvenient for me, it's just that your family hasn't seen you go back for a long time, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry." ”

The woman smiled bitterly: "No, they won't care about my life or death at the moment." ”

.......

The woman wried her hair, closed her clothes and lay on the soft collapse, and Hua Liyue specially found a futon to cover her. Blowing out the candle on the table, leaving only a bean-sized oil lamp under the window, he dodged into the inner room.

In the darkness, the woman's eyes were deep and complaining, and there was no trace of sleep. But I heard Hua Lianyue, who had just stepped into the inner room, exclaimed, and then lowered her voice and complained: "What are you doing, scare me." ”

Liu Hui's warm and teasing voice came out: "After being busy for so long, aren't you tired?" I'll pinch your shoulders." ”

Hua Lianyue lowered her voice and warned: "It's okay to pinch your shoulders, if you dare to hit the side's idea, be careful that I will smack you." Then came the sound of Si Si Suo's voice.

The woman listened quietly, and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.

After a long time, Liu Hui's voice came out again: "On the deck just now, you sneezed several times in a row, how do you feel now?"

Hua Lianyue said lazily: "I'm not a porcelain doll, a few sneezes will break." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Hui's voice suddenly became extremely stern.

The woman couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, every time her husband was angry, his tone was so stern and ruthless. Every now and then, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to raise her head. Rao was like this, she still received a lot of slaps from him.

Who asked her to marry him Gao Pan, but she couldn't have children!

Thinking that the weak Mrs. Huo inside was about to bear the wrath of the handsome man, the woman actually had a kind of schadenfreude in her heart. Probably she herself is unlucky, and she hopes that all women will be unhappy.

Sure enough, after a long time, Hua Lianyue's cautious voice came from inside: "Ah Hui, I just said it casually, why are you angry?"

The woman turned, hiding her face in the darkness. There was a sneer on his lips. This Mrs. Huo is young in the end, and according to her experience, she should keep her mouth shut at this time and not say anything. Otherwise, it's a lot of mistakes.

Men are more moody than women when they are ruthless.

Liu Hui's voice came again: "You should know, I can't hear this. Even if you say it casually, it won't work. I'm going to be sad, I'm going to be distressed!"

The sneer on the woman's lips suddenly froze, and his answer was really unexpected by her.

I remember that seven years ago, when she first married her husband, she also had a tender and sweet time. But even at that time, her husband had never said such sweet love words to her.

Hua Lianyue snorted lightly, and said a little unhappily: "Ah Hui, you weren't like this before. I don't even let people talk well, I'm not tired!"

"I don't care, I just don't want you to say these things and it makes me feel bad. You say it again, you say it again......" Liu Hui actually played like a child.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of Xi Suo Suo sounded inside, and Hua Lianyue's irrepressible chuckle came from behind the door curtain, and she told again and again: "I won't say anything in the future, you can spare me!"

Liu Hui said with a slight meaning: "I know that you are afraid of itching, this time I will take advantage of your shortcomings! ”

"Shhhhh

The movement inside was immediately much quieter, and the women outside listened with their ears pricked up, and did not hear them again. It's just a chuckle that rings from time to time, which makes people feel that they are so happy and loving at the moment.

She sighed a little lost, but two crystal tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. Maybe she should have listened to the words of the eldest lady back then and married her cousin who admired her, or maybe today, like Mrs. Nahuo, she was cared for by her husband like a jewel in the palm of her hand.

At that time, she disliked that her cousin was just a small talent, and the family was not rich. So he listened to the instigation of his biological mother, and with his excellent appearance, he robbed the noble son-in-law who originally belonged to his sister-in-law.

It's a pity that the glory and wealth are not so enjoyable, she is only a little concubine, and she used means to marry in, so she naturally can't get the respect of the rest of her husband's family. She was anxious to give birth to her eldest son to consolidate her position, so she secretly killed her husband and several pregnant concubines.

I don't know if it's retribution, although she also successfully conceived, she only gave birth to a sick and crooked daughter, and she died when she was one year old. Since then, she has never conceived a child again.

can't give birth to the eldest son, and the favor obtained just by relying on his appearance is destined to not last long. The husband's eyes became more and more cold and ruthless when he looked at her.

In the past, she caused those pregnant concubines to lose their children, and her husband turned a blind eye. After all, before there was no eldest son, if there was an eldest son, it would not be a blessing for the entire family.

But now she occupies the title of the main room, tossing for a long time, but she can't give birth to her eldest son. The concubine, who had suffered at her hands before, began to stumble secretly. The husband who was eager to ask for a child remembered the children who turned into a puddle of blood before they were formed, and his eyes had changed from indifference to hatred.

Just today, a second-class girl serving beside her actually found out that she was pregnant. The husband was overjoyed and immediately accepted the little hoof who betrayed the lord as a concubine. He also warned her in front of everyone that if anything happened to the child in the belly of the little hoof, she would be killed.

Stimulated by her husband's cold and ruthless words, and completely losing her dignity as a housewife in front of her subordinates, she will desperately want to end her failed life.

But when the cold, biting water of the river mercilessly covered her and poured into her mouth and nose in all directions, she immediately regretted it.

Why did she die in pain, but let those who hurt her live as she wished, the twisted unwillingness and strong anger actually became the motivation for her to continue to live.

......

On the second day, Hua Lianyue lazily opened her eyes. But I felt that the sky outside the window was unusually bright. She put on a coat of care, took out her embroidered shoes, kicked and ran to the window, and pushed it away.

The icy river breeze instantly poured into the warm room, and Hua Lianyue shrank her neck and sneezed a few times in a row, but her slender waist was surrounded by a pair of warm and powerful arms. Hua Lianyue leaned back and snuggled into a familiar embrace.

"Why did you get up so early?" probably didn't wake up, Liu Hui's voice was hoarse and soft.

Hua Lianyue stretched out her finger and pointed out the window, and said excitedly: "Look, there was a heavy snowfall last night, but the sky was bright." ”

Liu Hui rested his chin on top of her head and looked out lazily. Sure enough, the sky, which had been gloomy for many days, finally returned to brightness. The river embankment in the distance had accumulated snow overnight, and it was still white at the moment.

Hua Lianyue's eyes lit up, and she was about to say a few words of admiration, but Liu Hui couldn't help but say something, and closed the window with a snap. Facing her puzzled dark eyes, Liu Hui said confidently: "It's still early, sleep with me for a while." ”
