Chapter 66: Self-Inflicted Consequences
Shen Xingchen returned to Liuyingju, and Luo Ruxue was not in the Yun family, so it was very easy to enter and leave the Yun family now. But a lot of things have to wait until the evening. Because his body recovered relatively well, Qiu Ye had already returned to Fu Qiaoying's side to serve, and it was night, as soon as the bead curtain fell asleep, Shen Xingchen disguised himself as a man and left the Yun family.
Although Shen Xingchen had never been to Luo's house, the mansion of Tongcheng County Commander could tell the specific location as long as he asked anyone on the street. Shen Xingchen followed the direction pointed out by passers-by and hurried all the way, and soon arrived at Luofu.
The building of Luofu is very magnificent, there is a stone lion more than one person high on the left and one right at the door, with angry eyes and round eyes, and the mouth is wide open, revealing a sharp fang, like a beast crawling in the dark night, as long as it finds the enemy, it will pounce and bite off the enemy's neck.
After all, it was just a dead thing, Shen Xingchen didn't have the slightest fear, her sharp eyes were firmly fixed on the closed vermilion red, and she turned over and crossed the high wall when she found that there were no guards at the door.
The courtyard is deep, and the shadows of the trees are wrong.
Shen Xingchen bent his body and squinted his eyes slightly to see everything in the yard. Pavilions, rockeries, garden lakes, walking forward, is a deep corridor that seems to have no end. Shen Xingchen hadn't been to Luo's house, but he was just shuttling around the courtyard at random, and unconsciously came to a courtyard again, where the dim candlelight reflected three hazy figures through the hollow doors and windows, and the sound of several people talking faintly came. The sound is very thin and inaudible. Shen Xingchen quickly came to the door with a light tiptoe, she chose a dark corner, bowed her body slightly, put her ears tightly on the door, and listened carefully to the conversation of the people inside.
"Dad, this can't be!"
Luo Ruxue's slender palm slapped on the small pear wood coffee table at her side, the blue and white porcelain cup was shaken, and the thick tea wet her fingertips, and then merged into a stream and flowed straight to the ground. Tick tick, like Mrs. Luo's tears, smashed many small pits in Luo Ruxue's heart, painful, itchy and **.
Luo Yucai, her only younger brother, has been indulging in joy since he was a teenager, but he is inexplicably ...... , those two words, Luo Ruxue was so ashamed that she couldn't say the intersection. Who can believe such news Luo Ruxue's wide eyes were full of disbelief, but when she looked at her tear-eyed mother diagonally opposite, and then thought back to the last time she went home Luo Yucai's abnormal situation, Luo Ruxue knew that it was true.
"Dad, my brother is so young, he will be fine, I will send someone to find a famous doctor tomorrow to see him, he will be fine, he will be fine." ”
Luo Ruxue said comforting words, but the trembling in her words still couldn't hide her worries. Although Luo Tong is not only Zhao Xinlan, she is the only one who can give birth to children for him. Although he understands and complains about the temperament of his children, this does not prevent him from loving them.
"I have found all the fathers who can be found, and now I will send the imperial doctor in the palace, if the imperial doctor has a way to save your brother, even if my father is soft-spoken, even if I want my father's life, my father will think of asking for the ...... of the saint"
Luo Yucai is the only seedling in the family, he is only seventeen years old this year, it is a good time full of youth, he has not yet married, he has not given birth to children, he still has decades to live. Although his illness has not been spread for the time being, who can say later. If this disease really can't be cured in the future, Luo Ruxue really can't imagine whether Luo Yucai has the courage to face the strange eyes of others, and the discussion behind it, even if he can, every day of his life is purgatory for him.
"Daddy, we can't give up no matter what. The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and you and your mother must relax now and take care of your body. Xue'er will stay at home for a while, and she will take good care of her brother. ”
After listening to Luo Ruxue's warm words, Luo Tong rubbed his moist eyes, and felt a little relieved in his heart, but then he was shocked again, and when he looked at Luo Ruxue again, there was a heavy worry in his eyes. His square face looked even more solemn, and Luo Tong stood up and glanced at Zhao Xinlan beside him. Zhao Xinlan wiped away the tears on her face, her mood had stabilized a little, and when she saw the worried look in her husband's eyes, she seemed to think of the same problem.
"Master, go and rest first. Xue'er has rarely come home since she got married, so I will talk to Xue'er about family life today. ”
Seeing Zhao Xinlan say this, Luo Tong was very tired and replied, then pushed the door and prepared to leave. The moment Luo Tong opened the door, Shen Xingchen's petite body was even shorter, and he didn't enter the dark corner at all. Knowing that Luo Tong's somewhat shaky body had completely disappeared, she got up again to maintain the posture she had just eavesdropped.
"Xue'er, tell your mother, did you quarrel with your uncle?"
Luo Ruxue has only been home a handful of times, and it is the first time that she has to stay for a long time like this time. Seeing Luo Ruxue's return to the formation today, Zhao Xinlan felt that something was wrong, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger now. She also knows a thing or two about her son-in-law's behavior. At the beginning, Luo Ruxue took a fancy to Yun'an, and she disagreed, but her own girl ate the scales and made her heart hard, what else could she do as a mother, except for clinging. But now it seems that her decision was not the right one.
"Mother, no. ”
Although Zhao Xinlan is a little older, she can still see how beautiful she was when she was young from her delicate facial features, her skin is fair, and her beautiful eyes are radiant, but now, her face is sallow, there is sadness lingering between her eyebrows and eyes, and there are several obvious wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But after a few days, she seemed to have suddenly become an old woman. At this time, how could she talk about it, but in vain to add to the troubles.
Zhao Xinlan saw that Luo Ruxue didn't mean to say anything, so she didn't ask anymore, she sighed faintly, and her slightly cool palm gently patted on Luo Ruxue's palm, which was both intimate and comforting.
"Xue'er, although you have become a family, you have always been your mother's favorite daughter, you can tell your father and mother if you have any unhappy things, but don't be angry with yourself, it's not good for your health. ”
As soon as Zhao Xinlan finished saying this, Luo Ruxue's eyes filled with tears almost instantly.
There is no one in this world who really loves her except her relatives whose blood is thicker than water. Like when she was a child, she gently rested her chaotic head on her mother's shoulder.
"Mother, if I insist on marrying Yun'an, did I do something wrong. ”
Luo Ruxue's voice was very clear and soft, if it weren't for her lips leaning against Zhao Xinlan's ear, Zhao Xinlan would feel that she couldn't hear it. I don't know if I asked his mother or her own.
"Silly boy. ”
Zhao Xinlan looked at Luo Ruxue's gray face, her heart throbbed, she pursed her lips and said leisurely: "You are too lonely, my mother is a person from here, it will be good when you have a child." When you have children, you have bonds, and this is a complete home. ”
"Kid!"
Luo Ruxue's eyes were empty and confused, as if she couldn't understand her mother's words.
"The weather is good in the past two days, you go out with your mother, the Taoist temple of Xiangyao Mountain has recently come to a Taoist master, and there are rumors outside, but there are men and women who believe in sincere prayers, and they will be able to get their wish, none of your two children is to let the mother worry......"
Luo Ruxue looked at Zhao Xinlan, who sighed for a long time, and lowered her eyes, the matter with Yun'an was what she wanted at the beginning, no wonder others.
Is this self-inflicted......
