Until they returned to Jinyuan, the two still didn't say a word. When getting off the carriage, Ji Hongye stretched out his hand to Nalan Jinxiu and wanted to help her get out of the carriage. She ignored it and got out of the car herself. The two of them entered the courtyard one after the other, and they ran over to ask them if they wanted to pass on dinner.

Nalan Jinxiu frowned, and said angrily: "If you don't eat, whatever you eat, you're full of anger." ”

Ji Xiang Ruyi was confused, thinking that the two of them were not very happy when they went out? Sweet and sweet, what is wrong now? As if he was angry. The third master has always been a spoiler of his wife, and she has just recovered from the cold, how can she be angry at this time?

Thinking like this, Ruyi asked Ji Hongye again, and Ji Hongye said lightly: "Is there pig's foot soup?"

Ruyi nodded: "Yes." ”

"Let's pass the meal, and ask the lady to come and drink. ”

As soon as Nalan Jinxiu saw the pig's foot soup on the table, she was not angry. Thinking that she was just saying it casually, the third brother ordered someone to do it, and she didn't want to be angry with him. He is an ordinary person, not a god, and he will have his own emotions to some extent, and she can't be too demanding.

The two ate quietly, relatively silent. Although Ji Hongye's table manners have always been like this, when has she ever heard it? The more she talks about food and sleep, the more powerful she says, with a little willfulness, it seems that she wants to go against him and see how long he can indulge her.

Today she was surprisingly well-behaved, she didn't say anything if he didn't speak, Ji Hongye had to admit that she was a little unaccustomed to it. So, he decided to make his words clear and say to her, and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe Lin Yu wants to get close to you under the pretext of asking you to instruct her in medical skills, and it can even be said that she wants to come to Jifu in a grand manner?"

Nalan Jinxiu frowned, she had been with Lin Yu for so long, and she still trusted her character. And Lin Yu, wasn't he introduced to her? Why is he suspicious now? She asked cautiously, "Do you suspect that Lin Yu will be involved with your political enemies?"

Ji Hongye was defeated by her, and said helplessly: "If she wants to marry into the Ji Mansion, are you willing?"

"Who to marry?" Nalan Jinxiu asked subconsciously, and then his eyes gradually widened, becoming very incredulous: "Marry you?"

Ji Hongye's silent expression verified that she guessed correctly, she subconsciously took two steps back, holding her hand on the corner of the table, as if she couldn't digest this information. She suddenly thought of the many aunts in the backyard of Jifu, a man should always have three wives and four concubines! Especially like the third brother, with such a status, there should always be no shortage of women around him.

Her heart suddenly became extremely heavy, in this dynasty, such rules have created a woman who can only endure it. No one wants their husband to have another woman, they all hope to get a unique and unique emotion, but she was born in this era, what can she ask for?

Is it possible to let the third brother have only her, and then let the reputation of a jealous woman in the house not to mention, and it may also make them drift away. With the experience of the previous life, she knew very well in her heart that women played a great role among politicians.

Maybe a marriage can make two families have the same hatred, and if there is more nepotism, it will naturally become stronger, and the family will go further and further. It's not Lin Yu, it's someone else, can she keep not allowing it?

Her heart suddenly tore apart, as if something had cut through flesh. She wanted to cry a little, but in the end she held back, only closed her eyes, and looked blank: "If you like it, just accept it." ”

She didn't hear a response for a long time, she felt a little strange, and when she opened her eyes, she clearly saw the expression on Ji Hongye's face. There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he was like two people with his usual gentleness, calm, cold, and violent!

Nalan Jinxiu felt more and more that his expression was weird, and when she was about to ask out loud, her wrist was grabbed by Ji Hongye. The strength was great, she frowned in pain, her temper also rose, and she said coldly: "As your wife, shouldn't you be happy to support you in taking a concubine?

Her wrist hurt more and more, and she stubbornly refused to admit defeat and stared at him. She saw the storm in his eyes, and then it calmed down, and she even thought that maybe he would reach out to hit her the next moment.

Her jaw was straight, she belonged to Nalan Jinxiu's stubbornness, and she only closed her eyes hard, not daring to look at his expression. Because, her heart hurt a little, a little less painful than the tearing pain just now, accompanied by a hint of soreness. Just like when she first discovered the relationship between Zong Xuanyi and Liu Guifei, she went from disbelief to discouragement.

She was thinking, what would she do if his slap fell? It shouldn't be her face, it should be her heart! After a long time, no pain appeared on her, and she slowly opened her eyes, and there was already a water glow inside.

Ji Hongye had already let go of her wrist and turned his back to her, his back stiff, as if he was trying to endure something.

Nalan Jinxiu stretched out her hand, she wanted to grab his hand, she wanted to tell him that he was her only hope, don't do this to her, she couldn't stand his indifference. But the moment he touched him, he walked away.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at his hand that fell into the air, and felt that it was superfluous. Her fingers trembled slightly, and she slowly withdrew them into fists. She suddenly hated herself a little, duplicitous.

But what if she didn't say that?

She has no relatives and no reason now, and even the identity of the county lord who can protect her is a paper tiger. If she says no, and he still has to do it, then doesn't she even have the last shred of dignity?

Ji Hongye has been ignoring her, he is tidying things up by himself, and Nalan Jinxiu found that they are all his personal belongings in the bedroom. Then, he called someone in and said coldly, "All move to the study!"

When the subordinates saw him like this, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads, and hurriedly moved things out. Occasionally, one or two eyes met Nalan Jinxiu, and they all hurriedly moved away. She saw the sympathy inside. How could he not sympathize with her? How long after she was newly married, her husband was about to separate from her.

Everyone is gone, the house has become very quiet, and auspicious Ruyi doesn't know what happened, and he wants to talk a few times. Nalan Jinxiu waved her hand tiredly and let them out. She sat on the couch, looking at everything familiar around her, and her heart gradually became empty.

The third brother is a very neat person, and there are not many of his things in this room, but now that those few simple things are gone, she feels as if the whole room is empty, including her heart.

She hugged her knees and thought about it for a long time, feeling that the third brother was still too abnormal today, and she thought back to whether she had said something wrong. When he said about Lin Yu, she followed him, and then he got angry. No, when he went to the hospital before, he was angry when she promised Lin Yu that he could come to her.

Could it be because she didn't reject Lin Yu directly? But Lin Yu's thoughts, how would she know? Since the third brother didn't want to get entangled with Lin Yu, why didn't he say it directly, but instead tried her again and again?

She hates this guess-and-guess game, especially between people close to her. She found that she was also a little angry, if it was because of her stubborn temperament and refused to admit defeat before, but now she is full of anger.

The night became thicker and thicker, and Nalan Jinxiu was lying alone on the bed, she moved from left to right, and from right back to left, unable to sleep. It turned out that she was used to having such a person lying next to her, she could lean into his arms, reach out and touch him, so that she could sleep peacefully.

When he took her out, she was obviously fine, but it seemed that it was like this in a blink of an eye. She shrunk into the quilt, tears streaming down her cheeks. The relationship between her and the third brother is very simple, in the past, as long as it did not involve issues of principle, he would always let her and coax her, she didn't have to think about anything, just do what she wanted to do. Why has it changed now? Without saying a word, he left, leaving her alone.

She seems to be able to imagine how people will spread it tomorrow. She has never denied that she is very proud in her bones. She doesn't like people to see her vulnerability, and she doesn't want anyone to see her jokes, and she doesn't need their sympathy.

Because sympathy is really an emotion that can drive people crazy.

Ji Hongye also couldn't sleep in the study, he sat alone at the desk, doing nothing, just sitting and thinking about things, looking depressed. By the time he reacted, it was really late. Outside, thunder roared, torrential rain poured down, it seemed to be only a matter of moments, and the originally quiet night began to tremble.

He suddenly couldn't sit still, took an oil-paper umbrella at random, and walked to the backyard. The oil-paper umbrella is very thin and not suitable in such weather, and it seems to break when the wind blows. When the night watchman saw him like this, he hurriedly brought a solid umbrella, and then turned on the lamp to show him the way.

Nalan Jinxiu was already asleep, but the thunder roared, and she was woken up again. She sat up suddenly, looked at the empty room, and subconsciously shouted, "Third brother." ”

Only then did he realize that there was no one around and that he was not there. She looked stupidly at the outside of the bed, lost her mind, then hugged her knees, buried her head between her legs, and began to cry again. She found that no matter how hard she tried, in this world, she was still alone, still a weakling.

In fact, after the Taifu Mansion is gone, after her parents have died, she is destined to be alone. She should have stopped her heart a long time ago, if she hadn't had expectations, how could she be so disappointed now? It's been a long time since anyone has made her cry like this, and only the third brother in this world can hurt her so far......
