Chapter 4 Why did you marry me in the first place?

In the blink of an eye, the mid-year festival arrived, the osmanthus in the yard bloomed early, the evening breeze blew, and the osmanthus was fragrant.

This is not a festival for people, and the eldest lady is just using this festival to provoke the whole family to eat in the main hall. Lin Wanjing led Fu Shien to attend, and she specially tailored a cheongsam for Fu Shien, using the latest dark purple flannel pressed gold flower material in the Jinpei year. Fu Shien's position was between the second aunt Taiye Meisi and the fourth aunt Tai Li Qing, she was obviously a little uncomfortable, and her nervous eyes were locked on Lin Wanjing and she never left for a moment. Li Qing's dislike for Fu Shien was fully revealed, she left a wide gap between herself and Fu Shien, Ye Meisi saw this, and beckoned to Lin Wanjing, who had not yet taken a seat:

"Wanjing, you can also sit up, so that you can take care of the third sister."

"Well, it's good, it's good, I'm okay." Li Qing wished that someone would isolate her from Fu Shien, and she didn't care about the order of dignity and inferiority, so she stood up and gave up her position as she spoke.

As soon as she sat down, Pei Yue walked in with her stomach up, she was wearing a cheongsam decorated with sequins, and everyone in the hall was dumbfounded for a while.

"Why are you here?" The eldest lady frowned and asked her, the handsome man didn't like this woman, she knew that she didn't want this family banquet to be sour.

"The young marshal asked me to come."

"What do you think you are? Give me back! "The eldest lady drank the order.

"Eldest sister, since it's Yun Rou's meaning, forget it, anyway, it's not bad for such a position." Li Qing opened her mouth to mediate, and then the conversation changed, "I said sister, are you here to sing for us?" Just this little bit of gap how can you live under one roof. As soon as the words fell, Li Qing laughed uncontrollably.

Pei Yue thought she was wearing her most beautiful clothes, and in the laughter, she embarrassedly found a place for herself, and the moment she sat down, the stool fell apart, and Pei Yue fell straight to the ground, so everyone was stunned, and no one reacted until Pei Yue's ** voice changed from weak to strong.

"What's going on here?!" As soon as Liu Jin arrived at the restaurant, he saw Pei Yue lying on the ground holding his stomach and crying, and his face immediately sank.

The housekeeper stepped forward to inspect the chair, but found that the screws at the junction of the beams had been removed by whom, not to mention a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, even a three-year-old child could step on the stool.

"Whose position is this?" Liu Jin asked again.

The hall was silent for a while, and the eyes of the whole house looked at Lin Wanjing.

"Wanjing..."Li Qing looked at Lin Wanjing, who was stunned beside her.

"It's her! It had to be her! She's going to hurt me! Even the children are not spared! Pei Yue shouted pain while pointing at Lin Wanjing and said loudly.

"That's enough, get a doctor!" The eldest lady spoke out in time to control the situation, "Carry this woman to the side hall, Wanjing, you take the third sister back first." ”

Lin Wanjing didn't say anything, and silently helped Fu Shien to stand up, Ye Meisi couldn't see such a scene, and accompanied Fu Shien to leave with Lin Wanjing.

After returning to the courtyard, Lin Wanjing sat on the sofa without saying a word, Ye Meisi kept rubbing her cold hands to comfort her, if she hadn't taken care of Fu Shien, the person who fell to the ground now would be Lin Wanjing, Pei Yue's name was not on the list of the dinner party at all, in other words, the person who removed the screws was actually Lin Wanjing.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Liu Jin opened the door and came in, it was already three hours after the incident.

"How is she? You okay? Lin Wanjing stood up and asked.

"Do you want to hear me say she's dead? Didn't she and the child survive? ”

Lin Wanjing was dumbfounded for a while, and after a while, she hesitated and said, "Yun Rou...... How do you say that..."

"I really didn't expect you to be so femme fatale! Lin Wanjing, I really misjudged you! ”

In the face of Liu Jin's sudden rebuke, Lin Wanjing's mind appeared blank for a moment, and after a long time, she smiled bitterly:

"Do you really believe I'm going to hurt her?"

"Lin Wanjing, don't think that your father loves you, you can do whatever you want, if the child has any mistakes, I will definitely make you pay!"

Liu Jin's words pierced Lin Wanjing's heart like a sharp blade, and Lin Wanjing looked at the man in front of her like an angry lion, and her whole body was cold.

"Liu Yunrou, husband and wife, that's how you look at me. I ask you, have you ever loved me and believed in me? ”

"Why do you still have the heart to ask such a boring question at this time?!"

"If you haven't loved you, why did you marry me in the first place?"

"What about you? Why did you ever care about me?! ”

"I don't care about you?" This rhetorical question Lin Wanjing almost roared, her patience and self-control for so long were on the verge of collapse, Hao's teeth bit Sakura's lips white, her fist-clenched palms couldn't help trembling, and her trimmed clean nails were almost pinched into the flesh of her palms. There were tears in her clear eyes, but she stubbornly endured it, so the pair of sheared autumn eyes were red.

After a long time, she chuckled and whispered to the two aunts behind her: "Mom, aunt, I'm sorry to let you see the joke." Wanjing is tired, go to rest first. ”

Dropping this sentence, she went upstairs without looking back, Liu Jin wanted to chase her, but at this moment his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move his steps at all, he felt heartache for no reason, and his chest felt like he had been punched hard by someone, and a move hit the vital point and pressed him to think and breathe.

There was a heavy slamming of the door, and then there was only a terrible silence in the house. Ye Meisi's weak tone sounded particularly loud at the moment:

"Amitabha, Yun Rou, how can you say that about Wan Jing! People who chant Buddha don't speak, if I hadn't asked Wanjing to sit next to me today, that chair should have been her to sit on! Don't you know who the bad guys are going to deal with?! Don't forget, if it weren't for Wan Jing at the beginning, Pei's mother and son don't know whether they are alive or dead now! You don't miss Wanjing at all, right? Ye Meisi shook her head, turned her head to Shi En and said, "Third sister, I'll rest with you earlier, don't bother Wanjing tonight, let her have a good rest, she was also frightened." ”

Fu Shien nodded, Ben Du had already left with her, but she turned back to Liu Jin again, and raised her hand to slap her:

"No woman wants to share her husband with others, Wan Jing swallows her anger with Pei's mother and son like this, isn't it because she cares about you?!"

Liu Jin was already upset, and after being reprimanded by his mother, he couldn't think even more, he stood alone in the living room for a long time, and finally slammed the door and left.

The good news arrived, and the mother and son were safe.

But this child born in the Midyear Festival did not bring much joy to the Shuai Mansion, Pei Yue and the child were sent back to the courtyard that night, Liu Daolin didn't even look at the eldest grandson, after a night, it seemed that everyone had forgotten the arrival of this new life, only Liu Jin was immersed in the joy of being a father for the first time. Lin Wanjing is still busy with Fu Shien at school, going home later and later, sometimes even staying up all night, her room is lit less and less, Liu Jin is unhappy, but she always doesn't know how to ask.

Time passed quietly in the deliberate ignorance of everyone, and in the blink of an eye, the child was nearly full moon.

Since Pei Yue entered the Shuai Mansion, Lin Wanjing has hardly laughed from the bottom of her heart, but today - she is pregnant, Li Lingrui has just confirmed this matter, because it is less than 100 days, and the pulse is still very weak, Li Lingrui specially invited the most experienced old Chinese medicine doctor in Luzhou to diagnose her pulse, and the result is consistent with his judgment. This should be regarded as the best news Lin Wanjing has received in so long, she can't help but imagine Liu Jin's elated look when she heard the news, so she couldn't wait to rush home after dealing with the things in her hand.

Pei Yue was humming a little song and reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room, the child was babbling in the nurse's arms, and there was still half a burning cigarette in the ashtray. Smelling the smell of smoke all over the house, Lin Wanjing couldn't help frowning:

"How do you smoke? It's not good for children. ”

"You haven't had a child, so you don't care about me so much."

Lin Wanjing didn't plan to have a war of words with her, so she changed the topic: "What about Yunrou?" ”

"Talk to the old man in the study upstairs."

Lin Wanjing couldn't stand her appearance of being neither big nor small, but she didn't bother to argue with her, so she turned around and went upstairs.

The door of the study was hidden, and the sound of the two men talking could be faintly heard.

"Father, the child is almost full moon, you can get one for him on the day of the full moon banquet."

"Yun Rou, what method did that little goblin use for you to make you so obedient? The concubine actually wants to hold a full moon banquet, joke! ”

"If my father doesn't do it, I'll do it myself."

"How dare you?!"

After the silence, Liu Daolin changed his tone to a calmer tone:

"You haven't forgotten what you promised me at that time, have you?"

"Daddy means..."

"Now that the child has been born, I will quickly give some money to send her away, and the child will be raised by Wanjing, so I will hold a full moon banquet for him."

"Father, the child is still young, it is too cruel to take her away from her biological mother, and besides, Pei Yue has been here for so long, and she hasn't done anything unruly, are you too harsh on her?"

"What? I promised it at the beginning, but now I regret it? ”

"I just think the child is pitiful, and it's not fair to Pei Yue, and... I also don't think Lin Wanjing has the ability to take care of the children. ”

"Hmph, it's true..."Liu Daolin slapped the case, "Since that's the case, we don't have anything to talk about." If you insist on protecting the mother and son, hand over the handsome seal, and find a paradise to live your little life, I will not recognize this grandson, and I Liu Daolin can't afford to lose this person! ”

Liu Daolin opened the door and came out, Lin Wanjing was defenseless, and she was knocked on by eavesdropping.

"Dad, I have something I want to tell you." Lin Wanjing pointed to the room and said to Liu Daolin.

Liu Daolin did not object, and after entering the room, his brows furrowed:

"Wanjing, you slept in this room? Why don't you sleep in the master bedroom?! ”

"Dad, I gave up the master bedroom. At first, I was worried that Yun Rou would not rest well in the guest room. ”

"Eh..."Liu Daolin sighed, "I have no way to teach my son, I have wronged you." ”

Lin Wanjing smiled and said, "Dad, my mother and I want to move back to Yukuntai." ”

"Why? But that leprechaun is making you uncomfortable? ”

"Not really. Now that the child is born, the mother's mental state is unstable, the child is crying, and both parties affect each other, which is not good for either of them. Besides, I help the family take care of the business every day, and I am dusty outside, and now the wind and plague are fierce outside, in case I bring back bad things and hurt the children, it will not be good. ”

"You and Yun Rou... Is it really okay? Liu Daolin hesitated for a long time, and finally asked this question, he hadn't seen Liu Jin and Lin Wanjing in and out of a pair for a long time, like glue and paint.

"What can we do?" Lin Wanjing asked rhetorically, her smile far-fetched.

"Okay, then you will take good care of Shi'er for me, I will guard you here at home, with me, that little goblin will not dare to make waves! When to move? ”

"Tomorrow."

"So fast?!"

"Well, tomorrow the weather is good, and the school is fine." Lin Wanjing panicked, in fact, she didn't want to stay in this place for a second longer, this place that once pinned her countless good expectations was now so depressed that she was almost suffocated.

"Okay." Liu Daolin agreed, "If you need to tell me at any time, huh?" ”

"Thank you, Dad."

Sending Liu Daolin away, Lin Wanjing suddenly felt tired, fell on the bed weakly, looked at the ceiling in a daze, Liu Jin's words with Liu Daolin in the study completely shattered the last hope in her heart, and now she is completely desperate for this place and that man, without any nostalgia. Thinking of the beautiful fantasy she once had about Liu Jin, she suddenly laughed from the bottom of her heart, but the more she laughed, the more intense the heartache became, and this pain seemed to flow all over her body with the blood, and her heart was piercing, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. Warm tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, she raised her hand to wipe them away, but the more she wiped, the more the tears slid down the beads, she finally gave up, raised her hand to block her eyes, and let the tears slide down her face on the sheets, blurring a little tears, and it didn't take long for the sheets to be completely soaked with tears, and the skin was as cold as her body......

No one has been to the study for a long time, the servants in charge of cleaning opened the window to ventilate, and the evening breeze blew the paper on the desk, leading Lin Wanjing all the way to the mahogany desk.

I vaguely remember that when she was newly married, she took a shower and came out, and when she saw that Liu Jin didn't have a bedroom, she went to the study to find him. It was also such a moonless night, and the stars were dotted like broken diamonds scattered on flannel. Liu Jin stood in front of the desk, holding a large block sheep's hair in his hand, admiring the ink treasure that had just been completed. Lin Wanjing came to his side, but saw two lines of strong lines on the gold rice paper, the sharp strokes, and the knife carving was like a shocking heart, which vividly portrayed the sentence "Thousands of miles of cold light and snow, and the dawn on three sides is dangerous" in Zu Yong's "Wangjimen", and the momentum is extraordinary.

"How do you have the heart to write calligraphy today?"

Hearing Lin Wanjing's question, Liu Jin's slightly intentional smile unconsciously became a little helpless: "On a whim, I wanted to pick two sentences and write them for you, but who knew that when I picked up the pen, I wrote such a sentence." ”

"If you want to send me, then let me pick it, right?"

"Okay." Liu Jin gladly accepted, sat down on the chair, grabbed her waist with his hand, and let her sit on his lap: "Which sentence?" ”

"That's it...... That you said to me at the wedding! ”

When Liu Jin heard this, he thought for a moment, changed to a little wolf, found a piece of white paper, and wrote down a neat string of regular scripts.

"I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated." Lin Wanjing held the paper and read it several times, and then asked, "Just ...... Such? ”

"Hmm. What more do you want to know? He buried his head in her neck, kissed her flowery skin, and whispered for a long time before he whispered, "It's enough for you to remember this, you don't need to know the rest." ”

……

Memories are always so beautiful and cruel. Lin Wanjing felt a faint pain in her heart, she walked slowly to the desk, the poems written by Liu Jin that night were still on the table, in black and white, extremely clear. She stretched out her hand and stroked the line of words, it turned out that Liu Jin's vigorous font wrote these gentle poems so perfectly, so perfect that every stroke was like a knife blade carved into her heart, and every stroke was slashed with the softest part of her heart, dripping with blood. She tore off the page and carefully folded it into the photo box hanging from her chest. It was the last thing she was going to take from this house.

The pickup truck followed Lin Wanjing's white sedan out of the courtyard gate, the courtyard gate closed, and the heavy locking sound seemed to lock all the beautiful fantasies about Liu Jin. Lin Wanjing finally looked back, the mansion of the Shuai Mansion was getting farther and farther away, the scene outside the car window changed, and she vaguely saw the scene when the carriage carried her through here on the wedding day - colorful silk was displayed, flowers were blooming, who was telling her the beautiful future in her ear, but she didn't dare to think of that person's face.
