The train arrived.

When they got out of the car, Anna and the others accompanied the Countess Vronsky in search of her son.

It doesn't take much time.

Because apparently, the son of the Countess Vronsky was an acquaintance of theirs.

"I think that must be your son, what a coincidence, Countess Vronsky, I don't think I need to be introduced, I am an acquaintance with your son, Count Vronsky." Karenin said with a slight smile.

Anna finally understood something when she saw Count Vronsky approaching, and she turned her head to look at Karenin, who had now restrained his smile and became calm.

"Mom, do you know each other?" Seryosha asked in a whisper.

"Yes." Anna blinked.

Karenin glanced at Anna as she blinked, and quickly withdrew her gaze as the latter looked at him.

"Come here, Alexei, look at the Karenins, you must thank them for helping your old mother." Countess Vronsky said in a doting tone. It was as if the tall man in front of him was still a child like a small antelope.

Vronsky was delighted when he saw Anna, but soon he saw Karenin again, which was somewhat embarrassing, especially when his mother briefly explained to him that Karenin had helped his mother.

"Thank you very much." Count Vronsky said that he took off his crooked military hat a little in salute.

"You're welcome, Count Vronsky." Karenin said.

"Don't you think their family is so sweet? Alexey. ”

Unbeknownst to her, Countess Vronsky is still instilling in her son the happiness of her life-saving family, and hopes that her son will soon be married.

An embarrassed look appeared in the eyes of Count Vronsky.

If Karenin were any superficial person, he would have stopped with pleasure to admire it.

But after yesterday's events, after a night of reflection, Karenin had already decided not to let those bad emotions control him, and reason returned to his brain.

His opinion of Count Vronsky was less important.

"Since your son is already with you, please forgive us for having to leave first."

"Oh, okay, I hope I will have the pleasure of visiting you during your stay in Moscow."

"If you don't bother." Karenin made a polite gesture, and then he took Anna and Seryosha in the opposite direction, where he should have met Scyffer directly.

"I seem to understand something."

After walking for a while, Karenin heard his wife say that, his steps paused for a moment, and then continued on.

"What do you understand?"

"Apparently it's in the nature of men to play dumb." Anna said.

Karenin saw that there was no room for concealment, and simply said: "Well, I confess that yesterday I was controlled by some irrational emotion, and I apologize for that, but rest assured, Anna, I have never doubted the loyalty between you and me. ”

"You're going to be honest with me, when did you find out?"

"After she said she had the surname Vronsky."

There was a silence, then a soft laugh, Karenin coughed somewhat uncomfortably, and he said: "Anna, are you sure that Skihua is nearby?" ”

"Ah, I don't know, I just knew that there were people who were so jealous that they were irrational and angry with me who were innocent." Anna said in an innocent tone, taking revenge on Karenin for her anger at him.

"Jealousy is unseemly." The implication, Karenin said, was that he did not do anything akin to jealousy.

Anna no longer argued with Karenin, because they had apparently neglected a man.

"So, the uncle named Vronsky made my father jealous?" Seryosha came up with a divine summary, and Anna looked at the little guy with some astonishment.

"Seryosha, your inferences are completely unfounded." Karenin said disapprovingly.

"But I think that's what it means!" Seryosha said cautiously, not understanding why his father did not agree with his idea.

Karenin was silent for a moment, and finally said: "It is best to remain silent when the truth of the matter is not known, Seryosha." ”

"All right, father." Seryosha sighed, if his father did not want him to continue talking about this topic, of course he would obediently agree, but he would ask his mother later.

Father and son had their own agendas, but Anna was in a good mood, so when she saw her brother, Skiward, in this body, and received a warm hug and kiss from the beautiful man, she did not push the latter into the ditch.

"Anna, I haven't seen you in a long time!" There was even a tear of sentimentality in Skiward's pretty eyes.

"Ah, I can feel it, dear Skihua." Anna said with a smile, and at the same time leaned a little closer to Karenin without a trace, and pushed Seryosha out by the way.

"Seryosha, don't you miss your Uncle Scytheus?"

"I miss it so much!"

Seryosha said an exaggerated tone and held out his arm to indicate that he needed a hug. Usually Karenin would not have allowed him to say that, that would not be very decent.

"Look at you, how long has it been since I saw you, my dear little nephew?" Skihua picked up Seryosha with his big hands, and even lifted him up, and in Seryosha's giggles, the big man with broad palms rubbed Seryosha's face with his shaggy beard.

"No, no, I hate beards!" Seryosha said with a smile.

"And what about Uncle Sskihua's beard?"

"I love it!" Seryosha said flatteringly, making Scyhua laugh.

After they made out, Skewer finally realized that he had neglected his brother-in-law.

When confronted with Karenin, the beautiful and kind big man cringed a little.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Alexei Alexandrovich, I miss you so much."

"I think we met once in the last month, Skiver. Normally, you won't miss me so quickly. Karenin said calmly, choking Skiv.

Of course, Scanin didn't want to miss Karenin, although he didn't hate his brother-in-law, but he was also afraid of the other party in his heart, especially when this happened, he didn't feel that he had no face to see his wife, but he couldn't face Karenin, because the latter, like a mirror of shame, stood there quietly, so many times, Oblonsky would choose to bypass it.

"Why are you here to say hello, to be honest, I don't think I'm going to be able to feel my legs." Anna said, and smiled.

All three men looked at her, all worried.

Scypress nodded: "Then let's go back first, I'll let the carriage stop outside." ”

They got into the carriage, and Scyward was supposed to talk to the two adults, but he didn't know how to deal with Karenin, and he was willing to talk to Anna, but once he did, Karenin's eyes always looked at him, so in the end, he could only talk to his little nephew.

When he arrived at Oblonsky's house and handed over his coat to the servants, Skiva asked his butler: "What about Madame?" ”

"She's on the second floor."

Skihua furrowed his eyebrows: "Did she clean up the guest room?" ”

"As far as I know, not at all."

Skihua shuddered for a moment, knowing that, in general, a woman is judged by whether she is still willing to save her husband's face.

Anna looked at Skihua and asked the butler, and soon shuddered, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Oh! God, Anna, what should I do? Skewer said frustratedly.

"It's useless to ask God about this." Karenin said lightly.

"Of course I do!" Skiward muttered, thankfully he wasn't in the habit of getting angry with others, which may be why he was called a good old man.

"Is Daria Alexandrovina on the second floor?" Karenin asked.

Skiward's eyes lit up, and he nodded busily.

"Yes!"

Karenin looked at his wife: "Anna, maybe it would be better for you to talk to Daria Alexandrovina." ”

"I will." Anna said, and then she walked to the second floor.

Skihua took Karenin and Seryosha to the living room, where the three children were still in class.

Anna reached the bedroom on the second floor, where she knocked on the door, and a hoarse voice came from inside.

"I said I don't need food, just give it to anyone, anyway, I don't need it!"

Anna stopped knocking on the door and asked in a soft voice, "Tao Li, I'm Anna." ”

The room was quiet for a moment, and then the hoarse voice rang out again.

"Come in."

Anna unscrewed the door lock and entered, she looked around the group, and soon spotted Tao Li standing on the edge of the bed, still wearing a nightdress.

"Tao Li." Anna shouted.

The woman named Tao Li turned around, her eyes were red and bloodshot, her face was still mottled with tears, her hair was a little thin, and now it was even more messy, but judging by the color, she must have been a blonde beauty when she was young.

"If you're here to help him speak, you don't have to!" Tao Li said in a voice of alarm and anguish.

"Who?"

"Skipan Arkadych Oblonsky!" Tao Li shouted firmly.

"Oh, I won't." Anna said.

Tao Li still looked at Anna vigilantly, but the latter was silent and did not even move, and after a while, Tao Li looked at Anna suspiciously.

"Why?"

"No why, I'm just here to tell you, Tao Li, aren't you worried about Grisha and them?"

Hearing the child's name, Tao Li grabbed her hair in some pain, and she sat on the edge of the bed and cried again.

"How could he do that to me, to be with the governess of my children, how could I still be alive?"

Anna walked over, caressed Tao Li's back with her hand, and then took the other into her arms, her cheek against hers.

"Of course you have to live, and you have to live well." She whispered.

Tao Li couldn't hear this, she was still crying.

The crying continued for about ten minutes before it gradually stopped.

"I can't wait to die!" Tao Li said that she was weak and powerless, but her expression was so resolute.

"What are you doing when you're dead? When you die, there's nothing. Anna said coldly.

Tao Li was taken aback.

Anna calmed down and regained her softness.

"You're tired, you're hungry, Tao Li."

"yes, I'm tired, I'm hungry, but I don't know what to do." Tao Li muttered, falling back into her own emotions.

Anna pulled out her handkerchief, wiped her tears for Taulie, and said the most ordinary of words.

"Think about your kids, they haven't eaten lunch yet, they're still worried about you, Skiva can't do anything."

"Yes, he can't do anything. When the children are hungry, thirsty, or sick, I take care of them, and he teases them only when he is happy, but they all love him, as if I only criticize them. Tao Li burst into tears again, feeling aggrieved.

"That's because you didn't see them worried about you, but you're their mother." Anna continued to comfort, and reminded without a trace: "Or do you want to let someone else get it?" Such as the position of the mistress of the house, or even the role of Grisha as their mother? ”

"No one!" Tao Li said hatefully.

"Yes, Tao Li, so you have to eat and drink." Anna continued to soothe in a soft tone.

Tao Li grabbed Anna's hand so hard that her nails even pinched Anna's wrist, startling the latter as well.

"You'll help me, won't you, Anna?"

Anna looked at Tao Li for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Yes, Tao Li, whatever you want me to help you, I always will." ”

After getting Anna's promise, Tao Li was finally relieved. She got up and said, "I want to eat, I want water, Anna, and I need to arrange a room for you......," she babbled.

Anna looked at the woman's back, knowing in her heart. At this time, Tao Li's fighting spirit is not improving, but she has fallen into another neurotic realm, but it is better than becoming a resentful woman, as for the rest, as long as her body does not collapse, she will always get better slowly.

Death, where is it so easy?

Only those who have never died will feel that death can be easily spoken, Anna smiled coldly in her heart.

Tao Li cleaned herself up a little, and then arranged a room for Anna and them, and she did all this without looking at her husband, who was like a child who had done something wrong, and only followed her mother step by step, looking at the former with a pitiful and innocent look.

Grisha and Tanya were very happy to see their mother walk out of the room after class, and Anna's family arrived.

Anna asked Seryosha to play outside with the three children, and she went to her room to pack her belongings.

Not long after, Karenin came in.

"How?" Anna asked casually, folding Karenin's clothes in her hand.

"What did you say to Daria Alessandrovina, Anna?" Karenin asked.

Anna tilted her head and smiled: "Afraid that I will persuade her to divorce?" ”

Karenin twisted his eyebrows: "You promised me. ”

"Of course I didn't." Anna continued to fold her clothes, but not so carefully.

After catching a glimpse of the pile of clothes that belonged to her from before, and the dress that had clearly been treated so by her owner, Karenin realized that Anna was angry.

"I just don't want you to get in trouble."

"Apparently you think it's okay to watch an innocent woman struggle in an unhappy marriage." Anna said.

"Divorce is not the best, especially Daria Alexandrovina."

"Oh, do you have to get a divorce with someone specific?" Anna asked, putting down the clothes in her hand.

"Don't misinterpret my words, Anna." Karenin said, "I don't think you don't know about this order. ”

Anna blinked, then said slowly.

"Of course I do."

"Now that you know, don't get yourself involved, tell me what you promised her."

Anna looked at Karenin for a moment, and then said: "I just told her that whatever she does, I will help her." ”

"Stupid." Karenin said.

Anna pulled her hair and smiled, "That's just like me, isn't it?" I love the people around me, I love Tao Li, help her unconditionally, and only wish her happiness. ”

"I'd rather you don't, you don't have to, Anna, you're you." Karenin said in a reproachful tone.

Anna was stunned for a moment.

"I thought you'd be happy to see it."

"You didn't ask me to conclude that I'd be happy to see you get yourself involved?" Karenin frowned, "Whatever the outcome of the matter, you have dragged yourself into the pile of trouble." ”

"Sounds like a lot of trouble." Anna smiled softly.

Karenin paced the carpet for a while, then said: "I want to hear the truth." ”

Anna looked down at the clothes in her hand, then smiled and said, "I'll tell you if you help me fold the clothes." She looked up at the man, who glared at her for a rare moment, and then walked over as if she had given up. 166 Reading Network
