Chapter 31: Asking for Hardship 1
Zhu Hui was definitely a beautiful man when he was young, and Liu Ruyun was also a not bad beauty, just look at their crystallization Zhu Zimo.
Yes, Zhu Hui, who was only sixteen years old at the time, was already famous, but even so, in Zhu's Mansion, there were still many maids who would unconsciously blush and heartbeat when they saw Zhu Hui.
Liu Ruyun was one of these maids, but Liu Ruyun never had the delusion of climbing onto Zhu Hui's bed.
Later, another four years passed, Liu Ruyun was fifteen years old, and Zhu Hui was twenty years old.
That year, Zhu Hui, who had been hanging out in fireworks places all day long, suddenly made up his mind, because Zhu Hui suddenly told Zhu Jing that he wanted to get married, and the object of Zhu Hui's marriage was the "little daughter of the Chen family" - Chen Rou.
Originally, Zhu Jing was strongly opposed to this family business, but later he didn't know what Zhu Hui said to Zhu Jing, and Zhu Jing suddenly changed his mind and agreed to the marriage between Zhu Hui and Chen Rou.
After that, Chen Rou married into the Zhu Mansion and became the young lady of the Zhu Mansion.
It wasn't until a month after Chen Rou married into the Zhu Mansion that Liu Ruyun knew why Zhu Jing suddenly agreed to Zhu Hui and Chen Rou's family affairs, because Chen Rou had already married Zhu Hui before marrying into the Zhu Mansion.
About one night in the second month after Chen Rou married into Zhu's mansion, something happened that changed Liu Ruyun's lifestyle for more than 20 years, and it also made Zhu Zimo a person in this world.
Zhu Hui's courtyard is the plum courtyard, because Chen Rou is pregnant, since marrying into the Zhu Mansion, she has slept in a separate room with Zhu Hui, Zhu Hui lives in the east chamber, and Chen Rou lives in the west chamber.
That night, Zhu Hui suddenly returned to his bedroom full of alcohol, and Liu Ruyun was making Zhu Hui's bed at that time.
I don't know if Zhu Hui was intentional or unintentional, in short, he asked Liu Ruyun that night.
Liu Ruyun originally liked Zhu Hui, although he never had the luxury of climbing on Zhu Hui's bed, but Liu Ruyun did not refuse Zhu Hui that night.
In the early morning of the next day, when Liu Ruyun woke up, Zhu Hui had not woken up, and because he didn't want the two to be embarrassed, Liu Ruyun tiptoed to get dressed and left Zhu Hui's bedroom.
Liu Ruyun originally thought that no one would know about that night, until two months later, the East Window incident happened.
That night, when Liu Ruyun was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a tumult in his stomach, and then Liu Ruyun leaned on the tea table in the room and retched violently.
At that time, although Liu Ruyun was Zhu Hui's personal maid, she was just a maid after all, and she had to go back to the courtyard where the maid lived to rest after she finished her work every day.
At that time, Liu Ruyun lived in the same room as an old man who had worked in Zhufu for more than 30 years.
The old man could see at a glance why Liu Ruyun was retching, and in this way, the news of Liu Ruyun's unmarried pregnancy spread in Zhu's mansion almost instantly.
Liu Ruyun really never thought that Zhu Hui would leave a seed in her body just that night, and that seed was also very strong to take root and sprout.
That night, Liu Ruyun was called by Zhang's for questioning, and Liu Ruyun didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, so he told Zhang's the whole truth.
At that time, after listening to Liu Ruyun's words, Zhang just sighed uncontrollably, except for comfort, that is, to let Liu Ruyun stop doing tiring work and just take care of the fetus, and did not say anything else.
The sixth day of June of the second year was Zhu Ziyao's birthday, and two months later, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Zhu Zimo was born in this world that night.
Half a month after Zhu Zimo was born, Liu Ruyun was still in confinement, but early that morning, she received Zhu Jing's order to put on her wedding dress the next day and marry Zhu Hui seriously to be the second aunt of their Zhu Mansion.
Liu Ruyun only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he almost fainted.
The next day, Zhu Hui really married her and gave her the identity of the second young aunt of Zhufu.
But in the twenty-four years since that day, Liu Ruyun seems to have been forgotten by Zhu Hui in the most remote corner of the inner courtyard of Zhu Mansion - Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Except for the maid Ziyu that Zhu Jing personally gave to Liu Ruyun, Liu Ruyun seems to have been forgotten by everyone in the past twenty-four years, and even more forgotten by Zhu Hui.
But Liu Ruyun can't forget, even if Zhu Hui has forgotten her save, in her heart, Zhu Hui still occupies most of her heart, and the remaining half is her and Zhu Hui's son, Zhu Zimo.
On the night that Liu Ruyun and Zhu Hui got married, Zhu Hui did not stay in Nuanxiang Pavilion, but went to his and Chen Rou's courtyard.
Although Liu Ruyun was ridiculed by the maids in Zhu's mansion for a while because of this incident, Liu Ruyun never had a grudge against Zhu Hui.
Because he knew his identity, Liu Ruyun would not take half a step out of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion since he lived in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, so in the past twenty-four years, Liu Ruyun had only seen Zhu Hui five times.
The first time was at Zhu Zimo's full moon banquet.
The second time was at the banquet when Zhu Zimo turned one.
The third time was at the funeral of Zhu Zimo after Zhang's death when he was five years old.
The fourth time was at the funeral where Zhu Zimo died when he was fourteen years old.
The fifth and last time was when Zhu Zimo performed a weak crown ceremony four years ago.
Every time they saw Liu Ruyun in the twenty-four years, they just stood and looked at Zhu Hui from a distance, and Zhu Hui never paid attention to her standing in the distance staring at him.
But even so, Liu Ruyun never complained or even hated Zhu Hui, because she felt that Zhu Hui should not treat her.
At that time, Zhu Hui was the indescribably noble young master of the Zhu Mansion, and later the master of the Zhu Mansion who was high in the sage and noble body, and she Liu Ruyun was just a lowly child, which was an eternal dignity and inferiority in Liu Ruyun's heart.
In fact, even if Zhu Hui married Liu Ruyun because he asked for Liu Ruyun when he was drunk and left a child for Liu Ruyun, with Liu Ruyun's identity, he could only be a cheap concubine at most, not even a good concubine.
Liu Ruyun knew that the reason why she was able to sit in the position of the second aunt of Zhu Mansion was all because of Zhu Jing's uprightness, and it was because she understood this, so Liu Ruyun did not blame Zhu Hui for her ruthlessness.
"Second aunt, it's all over......" Leng Qing was very sympathetic and pitiful to Liu Ruyun's sad experience, but Leng Qing couldn't do anything but comfort Liu Ruyun.
The women of this era are all sad, they are just appendages of men, they come and go when they are called, there is no freedom, no status, and no dignity at all.
Therefore, Leng Qing was also confused.
"Cold girl!" Liu Ruyun, who was coughing lightly and crying, grabbed Leng Qing's hand to wipe her tears, looked at her with a pleading face, and said, "Can you promise me one thing?" Please! Ahem......"
I really couldn't bear Liu Ruyun looked at herself with a pleading face, Leng Qing nodded and agreed softly: "Okay, you said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to you." ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" coughed a few more times, and Liu Ruyun slowly spoke: "Miss Leng, I know you are a good girl, Mo'er...... Although I blame him for forcing the master to death, but after all, he is my biological child, and I also know that my time is short, so, Miss Leng, I beg you, before I go to the underworld to accompany the master, let me watch my Mo'er get married with my own eyes. Ahem......"
Outside, there seemed to be the sound of the wind whistling, mixed with the rustle of leaves rubbing against each other, but inside the house, it was surprisingly quiet.
After listening to Liu Ruyun's words, Leng Qing's eyelids jumped, and she vaguely guessed the meaning of Liu Ruyun's words.
Looking at Liu Ruyun, Leng Qing asked with a little uncertainty: "What does the second aunt mean...... Do you want me to marry the second young master?? ”
Liu Ruyun finally smiled with tears in her eyes: "Miss Leng, you are really a smart and clever child!" If Mo'er can marry you, it will definitely be his blessing, and it will also be the blessing of our Zhu family! ”
"But......" Leng Qing wanted to refuse this unreasonable request, but looking at Liu Ruyun's pale face, she thought that Liu Ruyun only had three days left to live......
Leng Qing couldn't bear to hurt Liu Ruyun after all, so she quickly changed her words: "I don't know if the second young master will agree." ”
Disappointed a dying person, Yu Lengqing, she felt that it was a sin.
Liu Ruyun wiped her tears and smiled at Leng Qing: "Don't worry!" I immediately asked Ziyu to pass the word, Mo'er will definitely obey my mother's wishes, Mo'er he, after all, is my child, I still know him. ”
Hearing Liu Ruyun say that she was going to call Ziyu to pass the word, Leng Qing hurriedly stopped her: "No need, this kind of thing...... I'll say it myself! ”
According to Ziyu's current state, if you know Liu Ruyun's thoughts, it will definitely be another rain of tears, and Leng Qing is most annoyed to see people crying.
Liu Ruyun was a little surprised, but looking at Leng Qing's smiling face, she still nodded lightly.
Let the children's affairs be handled by themselves! She has little time, as long as she can watch her Mo'er get married, she can also look at it.
Leng Qing gently withdrew the hand held by Liu Ruyun, put Liu Ruyun's hand into the quilt, and then tucked the corner of the quilt for Liu Ruyun before getting up and leaving.
After closing the door of Liu Ruyun's bedroom, Leng Qing walked to the wing where Ziyu was, and Lin Zhiwu was really still in the wing.
Walking to Lin Zhiwu's side and standing still, Leng Qing slowly spoke: "Take me to see the second young master of your family, the second aunt has something to tell him." ”
Hearing Leng Qing's words, Lin Zhiwu was stunned for a moment, and then pursed his lips and nodded at Leng Qing: "Please come with me, Miss Leng." ”
After that, Lin Zhiwu walked to the window and picked up the lantern placed on the small table under the window and lit it.
Holding the lantern, he glanced at the purple rain that was curled up in the bed and trembled slightly, Lin Zhiwu sighed helplessly and turned away, while Leng Qing followed him quietly.
It turns out that the night sky in ancient times was more beautiful than the modern one, with so many bright stars, but why didn't she feel excited to see so many and so bright stars at all?
Hasn't she always loved to watch the stars in the sky? That's right, because at this moment she is a unique being floating in another world, where she has no past, and she can't see her future.
This step, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong, whether it was good or bad.
This step is taken, and what awaits her may be wealth and glory, or maybe ...... It's a catastrophe.
But she's going to gamble! She had to bet! It's none of Liu Ruyun's business, it's just for herself.
