The rain has stopped.

There is a Zen courtyard in the southeast corner, and the partition wall has been covered by creepers.

In the small courtyard, there is a large dragon cypress tree with three people hugging each other, the top of the tree is like a canopy, and there are two side-by-side Zen rooms behind the tree, and the corridor is made of stone, and there is a thick moss.

Song Yuan pushed open the door on the left, the room was very dark, but he could still see the figure sitting on the bed by the window with his back to the door.

He seemed to be looking at the Bodhi tree outside the window, and a flowing robe was put on his body, which made people think of idle clouds and wild cranes.

"You're here?" He moved, turning his head to look at her.

The room was dimly lit and she couldn't see his face clearly, but she could still guess the tenderness in his eyes.

"It's raining outside, I thought you wouldn't come." With a little luck, he looked up at her, "It's good that I didn't leave." ”

She walked over and sat down, without saying a word.

A hand touched her ear, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

She looked at the Bodhi tree he had looked at outside the window, and suddenly tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes.

He looked at her sideways, "Are your concubines bullying you again?" Or is it your new powerful sister-in-law, who has wronged you? ”

She shook her head, but the tears flowed even harder. In the end, I almost couldn't help choking, so I had to bury my face deeply.

He also let her cry, and when she had cried enough and was quiet, he wiped her tears with a handkerchief and reached out to pour her a cup of tea.

She took it, put it on the table, took a deep breath, and said, "It's the same thing last time." I did as you said, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to intervene. And then messed up my plans. And she seems to have developed an aversion to me. ”

He paused slightly and looked at her: "It seems that your sister-in-law is a very powerful woman." ”

She turned her face away, without admitting or denying it, and said after a moment, "She does make me a little worried. My two mothers-in-law have been fighting each other at home for more than ten years, but they have lost at her hands. I have no grudges against her, and I don't want to do anything to her, but she is. How can I bring my mother-in-law down? ”

At the end, she was slightly excited. The shoulders were tense unconsciously either.

He paused in the backlight, speechless.

She was silent for a moment, then lowered her eyes again. Leaned over and fell on his lap: "Like our family, if you have some family status, you don't know how messy it is in the back house." My biological mother's early birth was killed by my mother-in-law, and later she wanted to harm me again. Fortunately, my mother saw through her and moved into another hospital while she was pregnant with me.

"My father didn't snub me. But in any case, he didn't like my mother, and I was always worse off than my two sisters. I am not as good as they will have brothers to rely on in the future. If I can stay quietly until I leave the cabinet, I will not be afraid of anything. But I found that even if I don't flirt, people will always tease me. Like this time.

"I don't think I'll be able to marry well. Nor can they be reduced to being other people's bargaining chips. I don't even know who I should hate or blame now. Should I blame me for being born in such a family, should I blame my mother's incompetence, or should I blame my father's affection. Outsiders said that my father was loyal and filial, but the admiration he received outside did not benefit me and my mother.

"So I envy my eldest brother, who, despite his mother's early death, received more attention from his father than all of us. If God decrees that things in the world must not be too perfect, then I am willing to exchange my birth mother for my father's protection of me. ”

"Your mother will be sad if you say something like this." He looked down at her, "She must value you." ”

She looked out infatuatedly, and tears flowed again, "What's the use of valuing uselessly? She couldn't even protect herself, and the so-called cherishing didn't really help me in my situation. This kind of cherishing is too weak, it can't warm me at all. ”

She closed her eyes and reached out to wrap her arms around him.

And he wrapped her tighter.

"Sometimes I really want to fly away with you like this." She buried her head between his robes, her choked voice so obvious.

He lowered his head slightly and stroked her, and there was endless depression in his tone: "But I am not worthy of you." ”

"There's nothing unworthy!" She shook her head vigorously, tears streaming through the air as she moved. She tried her best not to cry and said: "I don't want to marry any powerful people, I just want to marry someone who only has me in my heart." I want to rest with him at sunrise and sunset, and raise children with him! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how I would spend the rest of my life. ”

She clutched his clothes tightly in both hands, and both hands were already shaking a little because of the force.

He was silent for a long time, and then broke one of her palms and put it on the left side of his face: "Even so, won't you regret it?" ”

Outside the window, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the light of the sky, which gradually brightened after the rain stopped, cast on the left side of his face, and the hideous scar loomed in the light.

Song Yuan was slightly stunned, looking at each other, and even breathing seemed to stop.

The light of day faded in the silence.

After a while, she slowly put her loose hand back again: "That's right, even this will not regret it." ”

"But I can't hurt you." He seemed to have already had an idea, and he had already stepped on the end of her words, "Just because I care about you, I can't destroy you." ”

She began to cry and sat on her knees on the Hu bed, this time she was already out of control.

He sat quietly for a long time, and finally took her hand, wiped her tears and said, "Why don't I want to be with you?" But I don't want you to bear the charge of concubineship for me. I can't do anything else for you, but I'll do my best to help you change your situation so that you can suppress your mothers-in-law and become the eldest lady of your family from now on, and then stay by your side forever. ”

There was a light in her eyes. It's like a flower that blooms suddenly on a summer morning.

"Are you really going to stay with me?"

He raised his lips and said, "I've known me for more than a year, how could I have lied to you?" ”

She was relieved, her shoulders drooped, and the corners of her lips began to rise.

"Listen to me, first maintain a good relationship with your eldest brother and sister-in-law." He gently pulled her hands and looked at her faintly, "Since you said that Ling Zun trusts your sister-in-law very much, then she is your weapon." Your eldest brother is the only concubine in your house, and his attitude is weighty, and if you gain their trust first, many things will be easy to do. ”

She frowned slightly, and muttered: "I'm afraid this is not easy, my eldest brother has a deep prejudice against us. And my sister-in-law, she won't believe me lightly. ”

She remembered the words that Xu Ying passed on to her past to ask that day.

There were only a few sentences in total, but every sentence was on point, and she didn't think she could fool her.

"People have weaknesses, if she is stupid, you can play some tricks with her. Since she is shrewd, then you might as well treat each other with sincerity. He said, "The smarter the person, the easier it is to communicate with a simple and straightforward person, and if you come into contact with her every day, and come to her with the most honest in everything, she will believe you sooner or later." ”

She was silent for a while, then looked up in a breath and mumbled.

――――

At noon, it will be a little later~ (To be continued.) )
