"So you're moved and want to make it up to her?" Su Yi asked rhetorically.

"Don't think so," Yu Xuan said, "It's a big deal if I let her go." I'll go and make it clear to her in a while, I have wronged her, and I can give her some compensation, which is enough for her to live for a lifetime. ”

"You're wrong," Su Yi said, "if I were her, I would never ask for your money." The youth that is consumed on you cannot be exchanged for anything. ”

"You should have heard what the eldest lady said just now," Yu Xuan said, "What she means, that woman is still my wife, and you are going to be demoted to a concubine." Are you willing to make such an arrangement? ”

"Your business, you solve." Su Yi said coldly, "I don't want to be a concubine, and I don't want another woman to share her husband with me!" ”

Diners' residence.

"Are you telling the truth?" Ning Xi said in surprise, "The eldest young master is back, and he brought his wife and children?" ”

"What should I do?" Rujin poured a glass of wine and sneered, "I have been holding the position for so many years, and she easily snatched it away. I have nothing, nothing! ”

"Don't drink it." Ning Xi snatched the cup from her hand and said coldly, "Yu Xuan, Yu Rui, the two of them are really brothers. A favored concubine kills his wife, abandons him from the beginning to the end, and stops his wife and remarries. ”

"Give me the cup!" Rujin reached out to grab it.

"Don't be like this, a person like him is not worth torturing yourself like this!" Ning Xi threw the cup to the ground, stood up and said, "Sister Jin'er, leave their house!" It's a big deal to do business with me, and I'll support you for the rest of your life! ”

Rujin shook his head and said, "If I wanted to leave, I would have left a long time ago." At that time, when you and Lin Yurui were reconciled, I was very envious of you, and you had the opportunity to leave. Now I'm not young, and my relatives are gone. I have nothing but the title of Yu Xuan's wife. ”

"That position, is it really so important that you want to take your whole life?" Ning Xi asked.

Rujin smiled bitterly and said faintly: "This position was won for me by my mother with all her last strength." My mother is Amma's concubine, she is very unfavored, she only has one daughter, and naturally she desperately protects me. Later, she fell ill and her days were numbered. Before leaving, she supported her sick body, visited the homes of people with sons, and finally asked for this family business for me, so that I could live a good life after she was gone. For her wishes, I got married, and I didn't tell her about Yu Xuan's departure. Within a few days of getting married, she left. When she was dying, Amma didn't even come to see her, and I was the only one who stayed by her side. She left with a smile because she thought I had a good home. At this, she covered her face and began to cry bitterly.

Ning Xi gently patted her on the back and said, "I understand your thoughts, but your mother also wants you to be happy under Jiuquan, and she must not want her hard-earned marriage to imprison your life." Leaving is the best option, trust me. I loved Yu Rui so much at the beginning, and I would leave him, not to mention that you and that Yu Xuan have only met a few times, and if you are separated from him, you shouldn't have any pain, right? ”

"No, I'm not like you." Rujin wiped away her tears and continued, "From the beginning, I didn't think about leaving, even though I knew he would never come back. I have long recognized myself as Lin Yuxuan's wife in my heart, whether he is dead or alive, and whether he remarries or not. In fact, I would have preferred that he never came back. If he were to be divorced because of this, it would be the greatest shame of my life. ”

Ning Xi sighed and said, "It seems that you have made up your mind, and I can't say anything more." This is our sorrow as women, right? No matter how much people are clamoring for the emancipation of women, the traditional moral values have long been deeply rooted in our minds, and it is really difficult to truly emancipate them! ”

"Maybe," Rujin said, "to outsiders, I'm stupid, isn't it?" ”

"If you were a different person, you would have done the same." Ning Xi said, "If I didn't have Amma's book of harmony and departure at the beginning, I'm afraid I would have stayed in that house now, and I wouldn't have thought of leaving this way at all." ”

"Then you refuse to accept Qin Yifeng, is it also because of this?" Rujin asked.

Ning Xi shook his head: "I don't know. I don't know if it's because the traditional concept is too deep, or if it's because I'm too afraid of getting hurt. After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister Jin'er, is this good, go back and tell him that you are a fake husband and wife, and you only need the title of a wife." Other than that, both parties are free and do not interfere with each other's lives. ”

"That's not good," Rujin smiled bitterly, "If I say that, even if he agrees, I can't go to another man, maybe he thinks I have another man." It's too much to do. ”

Ning Xi nodded: "It's me who didn't think about it." ”

Lin family.

Yu Xuan stood at the door of Rujin's room and knocked on the door. Unfortunately, no one responded.

"Yes...... Is it Miss Guo? Yu Xuan shouted, and then he realized that it was inappropriate to call him like this, so he changed his words, "Guo Rujin, are you there?" ”

Inside, there was still no movement. Yu Xuan shouted again: "I am Lin Yuxuan, I have something to say to you." ”

"She's not here, she's out." A woman's voice came from behind her. Yu Xuan looked back and saw that it was Song Lian.

"Auntie." Yu Xuan nodded to her.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later, maybe, she has her own plans." Song Lian smiled.

"Auntie," Yu Xuan thought for a while, and still said, "Do you really want her to be a wife and a concubine?" ”

"People have been waiting for you for fourteen years, if you don't even give her the position of your wife, is it too much?"

"But Suyi has always been by my side and gave birth to children for me, how can I make her a concubine?" Yu Xuan said.

"Who said they wanted her to be a concubine?" Song Lian said, "Don't worry, she is your flat wife." As for the title of sisters, such as those who are in the first house, they are older than Suyi, which is also reasonable. ”

Yu Xuan sighed, "Do you really want to do this?" That Rujin, she really refuses to go? ”

"Why did she leave? Are you going to divorce her? Song Lian's face was slightly gloomy.

"I don't mean that, it's just that it's not the Qing Dynasty anymore, and foreign countries advocate monogamy, and this backward old thinking should be changed. She shouldn't be guarding me either, she needs to be free, she has the right to remarry! What's more, she and I are not really husband and wife yet! ”

"Enough!" Song Lian scolded, "You are in China now, you have to follow the local customs, don't talk about foreign things!" I know you're unhappy about this marriage because I decided it for you, didn't I? I admit I'm sorry for your mother, but in order to escape from marriage, you ran abroad for life, and you didn't even write a letter for so many years, even if you hate me, you can't treat your father like this! Speaking of this, Song Lian's eyes turned red.

"What do you say?" Yu Xuan was a little stunned, "When I decided to leave, I didn't know that I was going to get married, where did I leave to escape marriage?" ”

"You don't know?" Song Lian was taken aback, "Back then, I set the date a long time in advance, so I wrote a wedding card and asked someone to send it to you." I heard that you had no opinion, so I decided to get married, didn't you receive it? ”

"What wedding card?" Yu Xuan asked puzzledly, "I only remember that I bought the ticket a few days before I got married, and after I got it, I heard that I was going to get married, and I thought it was too coincidental, why did it happen to be the day I got on the train?" ”

Song Lian's eyes widened and she gasped: "I always thought that you chose to leave on the wedding day because you hated me and wanted to embarrass me." ”

Yu Xuan was surprised: "How is it possible? If it was because of this little thing, I would at most make a fuss about the marriage, where would I go so far? He looked at Song Lian and said sincerely, "I admit that because of my mother's affairs, I hate you a little. But the person who really forced me away was not you, but Aunt Mei. ”

"Who are you talking about? Yongmei? Song Lian exclaimed.

"That's right." Yu Xuan recalled, "Back then, my mother was weak and left early. Dr. Xing, who was in charge of treating her, told me privately that although my mother was weak, she was not yet fatal. Later, after investigation, I found out that it was Aunt Mei who gave my mother something that should not be eaten. ”

"Is that her?" Song Lian said, "If you don't say it, I always thought she died of illness." ”

"I found out the truth and was about to report it, but she took the lead." Yu Xuan said hatefully, "Before I could bring the evidence to Amma, Gonggong Liu's people came to warn me, and if I dared to say anything, they would frame me for selling tobacco." At that time, they had already arranged all the bureaus and would send me to prison at any time. ”

Song Lian's eyes widened: "I heard that Yongmei and Gonggong Liu have a relationship, but I didn't expect them to be so insidious." ”

"Originally, I wanted to calm things down, endure it first, keep the green mountains here, and not be afraid of running out of firewood. However, Gonggong Liu actually sent a killer to kill me! Yu Xuan said, "If it weren't for the lazy Awan beside me that night and lay on my bed, I would have been a ghost under his knife!" ”

"That's why you left so far and refused to write a letter, because you were afraid of being plotted?" Song Lian asked.

"I have long heard that if I go abroad, I will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Qing government, so I decided to escape." Yu Xuan said, "As for getting married, I really don't know. ”

"I remember," Song Lian said, "that Xiao En, whom I sent to give you a wedding post, took refuge in Yongmei after you left. It turned out that they had been colluding for a long time. ”

"When I came back this time, I wanted to seek revenge on her." Yu Xuan said, "But seeing that his son became a son-in-law, and she also fell ill, I think she has already received retribution, and I don't need to do it." ”

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end," Song Lian sneered, "I really didn't expect that Yongmei's mother and son would attract the jealousy of so many people." ”
