I smiled quietly, "Oh?

Han Zitong looked very tired, and only said lightly: "I refused this marriage with Ao Zhi, so naturally Miss Ao Jiayu will marry Yuan Xiu." I've thought of this before. ”

I said, "It's rare. ”

She looked at me, "What do you mean by that? You mean, it's rare for me to think so much?"

"I mean, it's rare that you're okay with that. ”

“……”

"Don't you love him so much—"

"I don't have that hope," she quickly interrupted me, although she said "no", but I clearly saw the indescribable pain in her eyes, and only said gloomily: "I know that there can't be only one woman by his side, and from the day my sister and I were ready to cooperate with him, I knew that a man like him, like a teapot, could only be worthy of a teacup." ”

“……”

"He's going to be slow, and there will be a lot of women. ”

"Then you-"

"What?"

"If he will have many women, then why haven't you made one of those many women until now?"

"I," her eyes flickered, as if tears were about to flow, "I can't. ”

"Why not?"

She gritted her teeth and did not speak immediately, and the fingertips of the hand on the edge of the table trembled like bamboo leaves in the wind outside the house, as if they were about to fall at any moment. After a long while, I heard her choke up and say, "There can only be one daughter of the Han family by his side." ”

“……”

"My sister is already married to him, so I can't-"

"Why?"

"Don't ask. ”

"Why can't you ask? Is there anything you can't say until now?"

She didn't seem to be able to hold it anymore, in fact, I don't know what was supporting her to answer so many questions just now, maybe in this most vulnerable moment, she really needed someone to talk to, even if the person in front of her was me, but now she seemed to have encountered a taboo, closed her mouth, propped up the table and barely stood up, then turned around and walked back.

I barely managed to sit on the head of the bed and watched the door to her room close.

You can even hear a faint sobbing sound coming from inside.

I don't know how long it took, a sentence suddenly came to my mind, and I couldn't help but murmur: "The Han family has a daughter, and the mother will be the ...... the world."

|

Probably because of so many things in the early morning, and what I said, Han Zitong's mood was low, and she never left her room again, and I was the only one to eat lunch alone.

I reluctantly poured a bowl of rice and half a bowl of soup into my stomach, and then climbed into bed to take a nap.

The sunlight casts the shadows of the bamboo leaves on the window, swaying and swaying, which makes my mind even more confused.

There are only ten days left until the seventh day of November.

It is impossible for Pei Yuanxiu to think about this marriage for too long, if it is the fastest, it can be decided today, and once it is decided, then many things will have to start - not to mention, there is also a Han Ruoshi who has just taken office and can help.

I didn't quite understand why she suddenly changed into such a generous and considerate wife, but from Han Zitong's words just now, I also understood more or less that her appearance two days ago was really a little abnormal, probably because she was worried that Han Zitong would rob her of her position, and now that she knew that Han Zitong did not have such ambitions, her mind turned, and she naturally wanted to be her gentle and considerate wife again in front of her husband, after all, Ao Jiayu is not surnamed Han.

Her position is difficult for anyone to shake.

In this way, it is possible that the marriage will soon be finalized and put into effect, and it may even be before the seventh day of November.

The situation, as I expected, was even better.

I just hope that there will be no more surprises in the future.

Thinking like this, I looked at the shadows of the leaves on the window, and finally felt a little tired, and slowly closed my eyes.

In the haze, as if I heard the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves outside, the wind also blew the door open, and a pair of calm and light footsteps slowly walked in and walked to the head of the bed.

A gentle hand, gently stroked my forehead, the messy hair was lifted, and then slowly down the contour of the cheeks, the strong fingertips rubbed against my face, I slept in a daze, looking at the blurred figure in front of me, and heard a low, as if with endless sadness in my ears and said softly: "Are you really, not feeling at all?"

“……”

"Even if it's hate?"

“……”

"Lightness?"

“……”

"Light ......"

In the midst of such gentle soothing and dreamy words, I fell into a deeper sleep, and in my dream there was a green bamboo leaf,

I opened my eyes all at once.

Beside the bed, there was no one.

I subconsciously wanted to sit up, so I moved, but I felt a sore pain in my ankles, fortunately it was not strict, I took a breath of cold air, reluctantly stood up, and slowly walked to the door.

The door was hidden, and when I opened it, it was dark outside.

I slept for so long.

As soon as she heard that the door was pushed open, a young girl outside hurriedly walked over and said, "Is Miss Yan resting?"

I blushed and said, "It's so late?"

She said: "In the afternoon, the son came, and guarded Miss Yan for a while, saying that Miss was injured, and it must be uncomfortable, so let's not disturb Miss to rest." ”

My breath was choking.

Is he really coming?

My mind was also slightly confused, and I hurriedly said, "Did he do anything?"

The girl shook her head, "No." Childe just sat on the edge of the young lady's bed, but he sat for a long time, and it wasn't until the time of the unitary that Ao Shizi sent someone to invite him, and he left. ”

"Ao Zhi?"

"Yes. ”

"They-" I subconsciously wanted to ask them if they had decided something, but after thinking about it, they shouldn't know much, and Xie Feng had said hello, and if he knew, he probably wouldn't say anything to me, so I smiled and said, "I'm too embarrassed to do this, I have slept until now, and I have made Gongzi wait for so long." Does he have something to tell me? What about him now? I'll go to him. ”

The girl hurriedly said, "Childe is talking about things in the study, and he ordered not to be disturbed. ”

"Oh?"

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What about Ao Shizi?" I disturbed their brother and sister during the day, so I should go over to say hello at this time." ”

The girl blinked her eyes widely: "Ao Shizi and his sister are also in the study." ”

"Oh......"

This time, I didn't ask anything more.

Standing on the steps, although there is a lush bamboo forest in front of you, it is difficult to see the situation outside the inner courtyard and outside, but you can still faintly feel that the atmosphere in the entire Jinling Mansion seems to be a little different from before.

There is a feeling that something big is coming.

I stood quietly for a moment, then smiled, "I know, then I won't bother them to discuss important matters." If they come, tell them that I am free. ”

The girl nodded, turned and walked out.

I turned around and walked back to my room, looked at the wind outside, listened to the noisy voices in the distance, and slowly closed the door.

For the next two days, Pei Yuanxiu didn't come to the inner courtyard.

I didn't go out either.

But in Jinling Mansion, it really began to get busy.

And in the past two days, Han Zitong's spirit has become worse and worse, I often get up early in the morning, I see her standing in front of the door wearing only a thin shirt, looking out blankly, obviously she can't see anything, but her eyes seem to penetrate the calm bamboo forest, layers of high walls, and see a qiē outside.

A gust of wind blew, and the dew that spilled down often drenched her all over, and she didn't feel it at all.

I think she's going to get seriously ill sooner or later.

Sure enough, in the evening of that day, when it was time for dinner, the meals were all set, but she didn't show up for a long time, and that Xiaoqian walked to her room to invite her, and ran out in a panic.

Ask the doctor to come and take a look, she is sick.

His whole body was as hot as a piece of red-hot coal, but his face was pale, and he was not conscious, only his dry and cracked lips kept trembling, and he was softly shouting a person's name.

I listened and let out a long sigh.

I asked Xiaoqian, "Look outside, is Childe there?

Xiaoqian said embarrassedly: "I just went out to ask for a doctor, and I said that my son went out to do errands and won't come back for a while." ”

“…… Go out and do something, what do you do?"

"Well, I don't know. ”

"Then you go out and take a look, at least the matter of your second young lady's illness is not only known to a few of us. ”

"Hmm. ”

At this point, she was also partial to the second lady of her own family, and when she heard me say this, she immediately ran out.

I stayed in Han Zitong's room, wrung a moist handkerchief from the basin, gently covered her forehead, and carefully wiped the water droplets with a handkerchief.

After a while, I heard footsteps outside, and slowly walked in through the door, all the way to the door of this room.

But listening to the voice, it doesn't look like Pei Yuanxiu's.

Could it be that Han Ruoshi came in?

I hurriedly stood up and looked back, but I was surprised to see that it was Ao Jiayu, dressed in colorful clothes and fluttering like a butterfly wearing flowers, standing at the door with wide eyes.

I was stunned for a moment: "Miss Ao?"

"Miss Yan. ”

She didn't walk in immediately, but asked softly, "I heard that Miss Han Er is sick, so take a look at her." ”

"Oh, come in then. ”

I hurriedly walked a few steps, she walked in to the bedside, glanced down at Han Zitong, and said, "Is she seriously sick?"

"Some fever. ”

"Why is she sick?"

After saying this, she seemed to feel something, and changed her words: "Who is she sick for?"

I stood next to me and didn't answer her immediately, but looked at Han Zitong, who was ill and delirious on the bed, and said softly, "What does Miss Ao mean by asking this?"
