Chapter 158: Coral

Luo Xue's sudden change in face also made Wan Hongge slightly surprised, and then she asked softly, "Liyun, what's wrong?" ”

Luo Xue drank the cold tea in silence, and did not speak, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing, Wan Hongge saw that Luo Xue did not speak, and she could only be silent for a while, maybe she also guessed what Luo Xue was thinking, but this is something she has been reluctant to mention, this is a very difficult thing for her to see at first sight, so many years have passed, even if she already knows the truth, but she still can't accept this fact.

I don't know how much time has passed in the silence of the two people, until the cold tea in the teapot has been drunk by Luo Xue, Luo Xue slowly said: "Hong Ge, that mark between your eyebrows is really beautiful." ”

Luo Xue's words made Wan Hongge stiffen violently, and then after relieving herself, she smiled quite awkwardly: "Hehe, is it?" ”

Immediately, the two of them seemed to be very tacitly silent again, this time, Wan Hongge couldn't even maintain the barely maintained smile on his face, his face was a little expressionless, and he also held a cup on the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and drank it with Luo Xue in small sips.

Both of them had something on their minds, not that they didn't say it, but they didn't know how to speak for a while, and they didn't know where to start.

After a while, Luo Xue once took the initiative to break the silence between the two of them, "Hong Ge, I once heard a sentence: a mark between the eyebrows is like a sharp blade cutting the heart." I don't know how Hong Ge feels right now, but Hong Ge. Whether you want it or not, there's no way I'm going to let you go on like this. ”

As soon as Luo Xue's words came out, she made her words completely clear. She didn't want to hide what Wan Hongge did, what Wan Hongge didn't want to do, she did it for Wan Hongge, some things were very difficult in Wan Hongge's eyes, but in her eyes, they were not as important as Wan Hongge's slightest.

Listening to Luo Xue's words, Wan Hongge sighed slightly. "You know everything?"

Luo Xue nodded and whispered back: "Hmm." ”

Wan Hongge took another sip of the iced tea in the cup, and then seemed to speak helplessly: "My mother. It was the former owner of this Wanhualou. ”

Wan Hongge opened his mouth to speak, and then looked at everything in the room with some nostalgia, as if he had thought of something, and the expression on his face became very gentle.

Luo Xue didn't speak. Listen quietly. Now Wan Hongge just needs a listener, and it is best for Wan Hongge to take the initiative to say it, and it is more convenient for Luo Xue to check.

Wan Hongge continued: "I heard that she is a very enthusiastic woman, with a charming face like a flower, a hearty and generous person, when this Wanhualou was established, it was just to help those homeless women at the beginning, and whether to accept customers or not is also to follow the wishes of those women. They are never forced to do anything. ”

"It's just that the land of fireworks is the land of fireworks after all. There are a few guests who are not here for the flesh and skin of women, but many men are very good at resignation, so many of the girls in Wanhualou have been deceived that they will take them home and let them become concubines, so that they don't have to spend their lives in this dust and dust. ”

When Wan Hongge said this, there was some sadness on her face, obviously feeling sad for those girls, she continued: "My mother warned them from the beginning, when they embark on this road, remember not to give their sincerity easily, otherwise it will definitely be the girls themselves who will be hurt in the end, after all, there are a few men who will not mind our status, and there are a few men who will not have a grudge against such girls. ”

"The words are very beautiful, and any promises made by the sea and the mountains are just passing clouds. There are a few men who can come to this land of fireworks who are sincere. But those girls, even if they have constantly warned themselves in their hearts, when a woman falls in love, she is blind to everything. ”

"By the time my mother found out that the first girl had been deceived, it was too late. I heard that the girl's name is coral, and she was a talented head brand in Wanhualou at that time, and she was originally a woman from a merchant family, but unfortunately, her family fell into the middle of the road, and she was sold to Wanhualou after being defiled on the way to escape. My mother is very sympathetic to her, she is also a tall woman, although her body has been defiled, but she is not willing to accept guests, the rules of Wanhualou are like that, as long as the girl is unwilling, no matter how big your guest is, Wanhualou is not afraid, and will never force the girl to pick up guests. ”

"That coral lived in Wanhualou like this, she has always been a performer and not a person, and her talent is also spread by people in the capital, and many men who come here are just to be able to see her. She is very gentle and kind, and the other girls in Wanhualou also get along very well, very popular, never envied, she is such a girl, very affinity. ”

When Wan Hongge said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, then suddenly got up, went to the bookcase on the side and took out a picture scroll, then walked to Luo Xue's side and opened the picture scroll.

"Look, this is the portrait of that girl, and it's the only one left in this Wanhua Building." Wan Hongge said to Luo Xue.

Luo Xue looked at the painting, and it looked like a very gentle and beautiful woman, with soft facial features, a smile on her face, her slender body looked a little weak, her long hair was scattered, and she held a fan with landscape painting on her slender jade fingers, which was slightly brushed, driving her skirt and making her look like a fairy.

Wan Hongge continued: "No matter how good a man is, he didn't get into her eyes, even though many men came to ask for marriage, hoping that she could marry a wife, but she didn't go, but when everyone thought that she would live like this for the rest of her life, she suddenly made a decision that everyone didn't expect. ”

"For a while, my mother left the capital for a period of time, saying that she was going back to visit her master, of course, I don't know who my mother's master is, it should be said that except for my mother, people who know my mother in the capital don't know who my mother's master is, my mother is like a woman who appeared out of thin air. opened this Wanhualou, but she herself has no provenance, and over time, no one will investigate her origin. ”

"It was the day my mother left. A lot of big things happened in the capital, and that year coincided with the imperial examination, and a large number of students who were full of wealth poured into the capital to prepare for the imperial examination that year. Everyone hopes that once a high school can glorify their ancestors, and at that time in the capital, this Wanhualou was the favorite gathering place for those talents. Because it's not like other fireworks places, it's just a beautiful color. On the contrary, it is elegant and chic, so it is especially liked by those students who are arrogant. ”

It was also during that time that Coral met the man. His name is Xu Zhiheng. He was one of the most outstanding people in the imperial examination that year, he was chic, he didn't spend a lot of time drinking, and the whole person looked elegant and temperamental. I'm afraid that even a woman can't help but fall for her. At first, Coral didn't pay attention to the man. Because she has seen too many capable and talented men, although Xu Zhiheng is also capable, it is not that Coral can't forget it at a glance. Perhaps it is precisely because of Coral's indifference that Xu Zhiheng will deliberately chat with Coral every time he comes over, and the two of them are also familiar with each other. ”

"On the days when Xu Zhiheng was waiting for the exam, Coral was always by his side, and he was with him to recite poems. It was time to wash his hands and make soup for him, and maybe she didn't even notice it. She has done these things that she shouldn't have done, and she has fallen silently in love with this man. ”

"After the scientific examination, Xu Zhiheng stayed in the capital, wanting to wait for the results to come out, and the relationship between the two people has always stayed at the level of friends, and has not crossed the distance, everything seems to have not changed, the coral is still the coral, it is still the top brand of Wanhualou, and it is still loved by everyone, but what no one has found is that the time for coral to appear in front of everyone is slowly decreasing unconsciously, and she began to arrange more time for Xu Zhiheng."

Finally, the results of the scientific examination came out, Xu Zhiheng explored the flowers in high school, that night, both of them were very happy about it, Coral accompanied Xu Zhiheng to get drunk and rest, and woke up the next day to find that they finally couldn't help but break through that layer of boundaries. Coral knew her identity well and could not be worthy of Xu Zhiheng, so she made it clear to Xu Zhiheng at the beginning that she would not want Xu Zhiheng to do anything, but she didn't expect Xu Zhiheng to seem to really like Coral, and he flattered Coral in every possible way, saying that he wanted to marry her as his wife. At first, Coral didn't agree, but when Xu Zhiheng swore in front of everyone that he would be good to her for the rest of his life, Coral finally agreed. ”

"No matter what Coral is, she is still a woman after all, and she has never escaped the whirlpool of love, which has harmed her life after all."

Hearing the story here, some people may think that in this way, Xu Zhiheng should be a very good man, and Coral should be able to live a happy life if he marries him, but where is the matter so simple.

"By the time my mother returned, it was a foregone conclusion, and Coral was already married. My mother seemed to know something, but she didn't say anything other than admonishing Coral. Coral may really like Xu Zhiheng, and she is bent on marrying him, what my mother said to her, she only thought that my mother was worried about her, and finally she married Xu Zhiheng, originally thought that she could live a good life from now on, but who knew that the truth of the matter was so unacceptable. ”

"In the beginning, Coral was still a happy bride, living a very happy life, and she worked hard to live a happy life, just to prove to my mother that she was really happy to live. But one day she suddenly cried and came to my mother, she was pregnant, but the child was not Xu Zhiheng's as people thought, and even she didn't know that the child was not Xu Zhiheng's. ”

Wan Hongge also frowned when she said this, Luo Xue looked at her suspiciously, she didn't understand what she meant, didn't she know whose child she was pregnant?

A thick look of disgust appeared on Wan Hongge's face, and she continued: "It turns out that Xu Zhiheng is not as perfect as Coral thinks in his heart, on the contrary, he is a man who will do anything for power. He didn't marry Coral because he loved her, but for a deal. ”

"Deal?" Luo Xue was puzzled.

Wan Hongge nodded, "That's right, it's a deal." Coral is gentle and very beautiful, I don't know how many high-ranking and noble children want to get her in this capital, but because in Wanhualou, my mother protects her, so no one dares to force her to do anything against her wishes. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiheng had such an idea, after marrying Sango, he often drunk Sango, and then asked her to serve the children of those high-ranking officials and nobles, so as to get the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune. Every time Coral woke up, he slept next to Xu Zhiheng, so he didn't find anything, but every time he got drunk, Coral gradually became a little suspicious. ”

Finally, once Coral pretended to be drunk and discovered the secret, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, watching Xu Zhiheng ingratiate himself with others like that, and then indifferently sent herself to someone else's bed, exchanging herself for benefits, and Coral finally died. What made Coral even more painful was that Xu Zhiheng had never touched her, and that time she woke up drunk, and it was not Xu Zhiheng who was with her that night, but the first transaction Xu Zhiheng made with her. Xu Zhiheng has never liked her, and even said that he has always hated her from the bottom of his heart and thinks she is dirty. ”

"Coral came to my mother crying, my mother already knew all this, and she persuaded Coral at the beginning, but at that time she was bent on marrying Xu Zhiheng, and she didn't listen to the advice at all. My mother asked Coral to go back to pack her things, and she would find someone to pick her up, but what she didn't expect was that Coral came to my mother Xu Zhiheng knew, and that night, Coral was killed by Xu Zhiheng and died tragically in the room. Xu Zhiheng relied on himself to be an official, so the threat to my mother was simply fearless, and my mother seemed to be indifferent to the death of the coral, but the news that Xu Zhiheng died at home came out on the second day, and the death was very miserable, his whole body was like being eaten clean by some animal, his face was full of horror, only one head was still intact in the house, and the house was full of blood. ”

"No one found out who killed him, because there was no way to find out, everyone said that it was Coral's unjust soul who demanded his life, and this case is even like this. After that, Wanhualou seems to have suddenly changed overnight, no longer the elegant and chic appearance before, more and more people are confused by the girls of Wanhualou and their families are ruined, this is the mother is retaliating.
