CHAPTER XLIII
failed to save his mother's family, and Zhou himself was also very sad.
But I didn't want to go for a while, another letter came from my mother's house in Jizhou, and the person who wrote the letter this time was no longer Zhou's father, but Zhou's biological mother, Mrs. Zhou, Zhou's father's wife, and the main mother of Zhou's family.
The first sentence of the letter was to accuse Zhou of being useless, and he even refused to give this strength, and Zhou's father really loved her daughter in vain. Zhou's mother thinks that Cheng Zhenzhi's refusal to help is because of Zhou's family, Zhou's marriage to Cheng Zhenzhi for so many years, but he did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and the average man's family is interested in heirs, Cheng Zhenzhi's refusal to help Zhou's family must be because Zhou did not help Cheng Zhenzhi give birth to a son and a half daughter, which made Cheng Zhenzhi resentful.
This made Zhou very aggrieved, two years before marrying Cheng Zhenzhi, because he lived in Zhou's house in Jizhou, under the nose of the Zhou family, Cheng Zhenzhi naturally didn't dare to treat Zhou's badly, and pretended to love him in every way, but as soon as he moved out of Zhou's house, Cheng Zhenzhi's appearance was revealed, and he was a Zhongshan wolf.
At the end of the letter, Zhou's mother also said that Zhou's father was dead, and he was angry with him when he came to the door, and he was angry to death because of Zhou's incompetence. No wonder it was Zhou's mother who wrote this time instead of Zhou's father, it turned out that Zhou's father was already under Jiuquan. And this time it was not only Zhou's father who died, but also the grandmother who loved Zhou's most much, because he watched the defeat of the Zhou family, his body was much worse, and because of Zhou's father's sudden death, Zhou's grandmother couldn't afford to get sick, and because of the loss of that business, the house didn't have spare money to treat Zhou's grandmother for a while. So Zhou's grandmother finally died of illness because she was not treated in time, and she kept calling Zhou's name before she died.
At the end of the letter, Zhou's mother also said that she only didn't give birth to a useless daughter like the Zhou family, and the Zhou family never had a useless daughter like her, watching the family decline. The genealogy of the Zhou family has moved the Zhou family and Cheng Zhenzhi out together, and the Zhou family has since severed all ties with the Zhou family.
Cheng Zhenzhi knew that the Zhou family had removed him from the Zhou family tree, so he was naturally happy, so he didn't say that he Cheng Zhenzhi was the inverted son-in-law of the Zhou family, and Cheng Zhenzhi couldn't ask for it in this regard.
But Zhou is different from Cheng Zhenzhi, she is so sad that she can't sleep at night, tossing and turning.
At night, the moonlight scattered in front of her bed turned into cold hoarfrost, she dreamed of her grandmother who was full of frost, grandmother fell on the bed, her eyes were closed, and her mouth kept calling Zhou's childhood name, she walked in front of her grandmother, grandmother's eyes opened slightly, grandmother tried her best to reach Zhou's hand, but when grandmother's hand and Zhou's hand were only half a foot apart, grandmother's hand hung down weakly, like a meteor falling, and grandmother is the meteor that has fallen. When those people saw that their grandmother was gone, they came in and cried, as if they didn't see Zhou's body, they actually passed directly through Zhou's body, it turned out that Zhou's was just a wisp of soul in his dream, not a human being.
Zhou was woken up from the nightmare just now, and Zhou's personal maid slept next to Zhou's bed, so that Zhou could serve Zhou at night if he had something to do.
After Zhou woke up, he cried so much that he couldn't stop crying, and the maid hugged Zhou and stroked Zhou's back. The maid knew that Zhou had a nightmare, but she didn't speak, because she didn't know how to coax Zhou, who was now sad. The maid could see that since Zhou received the Zhou family's distress letter, Zhou had not felt well. Zhou's discomfort is because he can't do anything for the Zhou family, but also because Cheng Zhenzhi is so unkind, and because he believes in the wrong person and pays the wrong life for life.
From the beginning of this night, Zhou felt that Cheng Zhenzhi seemed to have never really loved him, and Cheng Zhenzhi originally loved the wealth and power behind her. And now that Cheng Zhenzhi has status and power, Cheng Zhenzhi no longer needs to love her hypocritically.
Zhou only now found out that the nine-year Shaohua was finally wrongly paid to Cheng Zhenzhi, a Zhongshan wolf. Now she repented, but it was too late, she lost her mother's home, she lost her original glory, but she never received the heartfelt and sincere love of the process.
Zhou fell into despair, and now she felt that she had no way out, no home and no love. She ordered the nurse to take out this red wedding dress, she seemed to recall the joy of marrying Cheng Zhenzhi at that time, but after the joy, it was all sad. She thought in her heart that she was wearing a red wedding dress and a colorful crown and silk flowers to marry Cheng Zhenzhi, so let's leave like this.
So, Zhou asked the nurse and the personal maid to change her into a wedding dress and comb her hair in a bun when she got married, as if she had returned to when she married Cheng Zhenzhi eight years ago. Later, the Zhou family branched out from the nurses and maids, and also from the little maids in the courtyard. The courtyard where Zhou lived was very close to the back door of Cheng's house, and the back door was generally not guarded, so Zhou came out of the back door.
Along the way, many people were looking at Zhou's family, thinking that Zhou was a woman who had escaped from marriage.
Later, Zhou walked on the stone arch bridge and climbed onto the white stone guardrail in full view of everyone.
After listening to Zhou's words, Cheng Zhenzhi's tears flowed out of the river when the embankment broke on the riverside
。 In the eyes of outsiders, Cheng Zhenzhi loved Zhou, but both Zhou and Cheng Zhenzhi understood that it was not because of love, but because of making others feel that they shed false tears.
Zhou saw Cheng Zhenzhi who was crying silently, and suddenly laughed, as if she was possessed by an evil demon, but in a moment she returned to the affection and despair she had just told the story, she showed a weird smile on her face, she tilted her head to look at Cheng Zhenzhi, and said weakly: "Cheng Zhenzhi, I'm also tired, the two of us are clear, you continue to be your Cheng Lord, Cheng Mansion's wife who loves to do whom." And what about me......"
Zhou paused when she said this, she looked up at the blue sky, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I, just be a nameless crazy woman in the world." The two of us have never had anything to do with each other since. ”
After speaking, Zhou fell out of the bridge, and his whole body fell out, and he fell directly into the river.
Just as Zhou was about to fall into the water, a long-awaited, eerie smile appeared on her face, as if to say that I was finally free.
Zhou's red wedding dress bloomed in the water to produce a blood-red flower, and the golden phoenix crown on the head was like the golden stamen in the middle of the flower.
At this time, Zhou's ears seemed to hear such a gentle female voice reading the poem softly.
"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. ”
The bright peach blossoms are blooming on the branches, and the girl in the red wedding dress marries into the boy's family and becomes his wife. And Zhou is like that. But she didn't wait for the time when it was real, let alone the day when it was Ye Zhenzhen. She was only blown down by the cold wind of false feelings and hypocrisy the moment when the branch opened, and was blown into the cold and biting river, turning into a dead soul in this world.
At the last moment when Zhou's mind was still sober, she only thought of "Hooligans", and the only thing that came to mind was the sentence "I am old together, and I am always resentful", but before her temples were gray, she already had a grudge against Cheng Zhenzhi.
It is said that "Qi has a shore, and Xi has a pan", but where is the bottom line for a ruthless man like Cheng Zhenzhi? How many women in the world can wait for the so-called shore and pan?
In the end, Zhou sank into the cold river, and by the time he was fished up, he had already lost his breath.
She did not die of suffocation, but of Cheng Zhenzhi's ruthlessness.
Xu Yuanxuan watched Zhou fall into the river, sinking to the bottom of the river little by little, she seemed to sink to the bottom of the river, she tried to keep her eyes open and look at the cold river, watching the ruthless river swallow Zhou up little by little. She was a little sad, she had never felt such a feeling, although Xu Yingyue's death also made her uncomfortable, but this was not the same as that. If Xu Yingyue's death was as painful as cutting flesh with a blunt knife, then Zhou's death was a head-on blow to her head with an iron pestle.
Xu Yuan's eyes widened hard, trying not to keep the tears from staying, but the tears poured out like a torrent.
Xu Yuan endured it and wanted not to let the people around him find out, but Liu Yi still noticed it.
Liu Yi hugged Xu Yuanxuan, stroked the back of his head, and said gently: "If you want to cry, cry, it will be very uncomfortable to hold it." This world is so cold, but you don't know it yet. ”
Xu Yuan leaned on Liu Yi's arms, holding the book "Cao Zi Jianji" tightly in her hand, her head buried in Liu Yi's broad and majestic chest and cried directly, at this moment she is no longer the tenacious Xu Yuan, just a sixteen-year-old ordinary girl.
Xu Yi's tears soaked Liu Yi's clothes, and Liu Yi could feel the warmth. At this time, the person that came to Liu Yi's mind was not Xu Yuan, but Xu Yanjun, Xu Yanjun who was pale and crying, Xu Yanjun asked Liu Yi directly, why didn't he punish the murderer severely, although she knew that Liu Yi liked Concubine Li, but she couldn't be partial to this.
Liu Yi still remembers that Xu Yanjun sat on the bed at that time and kept sobbing. When Liu Yi wanted to walk over to appease Xu Yanjun, he saw Xu Yanjun smash the bowl on the small table next to him, and the brown potion contained in it was poured on the ground, and the bowl was also torn apart. Liu Yi didn't dare to approach Xu Yanjun, he was afraid that Xu Yanjun would continue to do some radical behavior, and it didn't matter if he hurt himself, he was afraid that the courtiers would criticize him and ask Liu Yi to execute Xu Yanjun.
So on that day, Liu Yi walked out of Fengwu Pavilion, and then he didn't go there to see Xu Yanjun for a long time, but he had Xu Yanjun in his heart.
In fact, it was not only Xu Yanjun who suddenly lost his son that day who was sad, but also Liu Yi, who was wronged.
Liu Yi's grievance was not only that Xu Yanjun had just reprimanded him and asked him why he didn't punish Concubine Li severely, but also because Xu Yanjun misunderstood himself and Concubine Li. In fact, Liu Yi doesn't like Concubine Li, and his love for Concubine Li is only for outsiders. But now it seems that even Xu Yanjun, who knows his temper best, thinks that the person he likes is Concubine Li, so he doesn't have to worry about the world thinking that the person he likes is Concubine Li, so that the harem will no longer target Xu Yanjun, and Xu Yanjun can live in peace.
