In the middle of the night, the vast Huo Mansion was as quiet as an empty city, and the family went to bed early, only the sound of beating gongs and beating the time suddenly came from outside, and it was already ugly.

However, at this moment, there was still a lonely awake person, who walked slowly towards Xinyuan as usual.

Xinyuan is the courtyard where Liu Qiaoruo, the young lady of the Huo family, lives, Liu Qiaoruo and Huo Qiyou, the young master of the Huo family, have a bad relationship, and after giving birth to the little lady Huo Xiangning, she moved into Xinyuan.

Except for Liu Qiaoruo herself, only her personal maid Chun'er will come and go here on weekdays, and others, even her daughter, rarely set foot here.

There's a reason for that.

When Huo Qiyou went to Longjiang Town with his father to do business when he was a child, he met Liu Qiaoruo, who lived in Longjiang Town, and at that time, the two of them often played together, and later she was bitten in order to help him get rid of wild dogs, so he promised to marry her when he grew up.

Huo's father also agreed with his son's courage to be responsible, so he went to Liu's house to book this family affair for his son, when Huo Qiyou was ten years old and Liu Qiaoruo was six years old.

Later, the Huo family father and son returned to the capital, and the Liu family also moved to Xunhe Town.

When he grew up, Huo Qiyou remembered that there was such a family business, and in order to keep his promise, he sent a dowry gift, and when he learned that the Liu family was not in a good family, he also sent someone to send a lot of silver taels.

According to the agreement many years ago, he married Liu Qiaoruo into the door, and on the night of the candle in the cave room, he was drunk, did not pay much attention to her mood, and forced her, and then she threatened with death, if he dared to touch her again, he would kill himself in front of him on the spot.

Afterwards, he learned that Liu Qiaoruo was interested in someone in Xunhe Town, and since then, they have been like strangers, living their own lives.

But Huo Zhai's door is deep, Liu Qiaoruo has a very unhappy life, even when she was pregnant with flesh and blood, she also wanted to let the child flow away, often beating her stomach, or jumping up and down, but the child is like the flesh and blood of the Huo family, and in the end she had to give birth to the child.

But after the child was born, she didn't even want to look at it, so she directly handed over the child to the nurse to take care of, she completely ignored it, as if the child was not her own blood.

Huo Qiyou knew that Liu Qiaoruo hated him to the bone, and he didn't even want his flesh and blood, and he always felt a lot of debt to Liu Qiaoruo's mother and daughter, but he was the head of the family, and he couldn't pull his face down to apologize, so he could only watch each other become more and more estranged.

However, he never expected that Liu Qiaoruo would choose to commit suicide in the end.

He thought that she would not be able to live such a life again, but later learned that she had received a letter from her hometown, and her friend told her that her sweetheart Liu Qingyun was about to marry another woman, and she was in pain, so she went to a dead end.

Now, Liu Qiaoruo is like a living dead, only holding a breath, lying motionless on the bed, but if she hadn't found it early, maybe she wouldn't even be able to breathe.

In order not to let others know, Huo Qiyou always chose to come over at this time to come and see, in the dead of night, he could reveal his truest feelings without fear.

But today, when he pushed open Liu Qiaoruo's door, he heard her moaning, as if she was entangled or chased by something, and her voice sounded quite painful.

Is it a nightmare?

While Huo Qiyou guessed, he slowly leaned towards the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Zhang Ruoxi in her sleep once again experienced the fear of overturning, she wanted to shout for help but couldn't shout, she could only keep moaning, suddenly, she felt a burst of warmth in her palm, she was like a drowning person grabbing driftwood, clinging to the source of warmth, hoping that someone could save her from this catastrophe.

Huo Qiyou let Liu Qiaoruo hold his hand tightly, for him, it was a good thing that she had a reaction, it was better than being like a living dead who only breathed.

Maybe she will wake up soon...... That's what he wants.

But soon Liu Qiaoruo calmed down again, as if her moaning and excited reaction just now were just a phantom.

Huo Qiyou sat like this, quietly looking at the person with his eyes closed, until the sky showed the white of the fish's belly before getting up, no one knew when he came, and no one noticed when he left.

But he knew that not no one knew about it, and that the guard who had always been by his side and guarded him, who was not good at words but was very conscientious, was always with him.

"Shi Ding, you can go back and rest." Until he returned to the door of his room, Huo Qiyou said into the air, as if talking to himself.

Shi Ding, who was hidden in the shadows, appeared, bowed, and respectfully watched his master enter the house before turning around and leaving in another direction.

The sound of talking was like a squeaky bird's call, rising and falling in her ears, Zhang Ruoxi listened to the unfamiliar voice, and really didn't know who the owner of the voice was, and finally, she decided to open her eyes to see the little sparrow that kept arguing with her.

What caught her eye was a chubby round face that was tearful and unfamiliar, and as her gaze slowly descended, she noticed that the fat girl was dressed strangely, because she had two long braids tied and was wearing clothes that resembled the costumes of the ancients in the TV series.

Compared with Zhang Ruoxi's dazed face, the fat girl suddenly burst into tears and laughed, shouting: "Young lady, you finally woke up!" If you don't wake up again, Chun'er won't know what to do! ”

What did she just call her, young lady? Did she mishear, or was she dreaming? Zhang Ruoxi thinks it should be the latter.

The news of her husband's affair and the mistress's pregnancy were too shocking, so she must have been overstimulated to have such strange dreams, and she decided to close her eyes again, and when she woke up, everything should be back to normal.

"Young lady, don't sleep, what if you can't wake up again?!" Chun'er was afraid that the young lady would be the same as before, and she would sleep for a month, so she kept gently pushing the young lady's shoulder to shake the young lady awake.

Zhang Ruoxi was so dizzy from shaking her head, she had to open her eyes again to stop her: "Okay, don't shake it anymore, you shake it so much that my head is dizzy." ”

Hearing this, Chun'er immediately stopped moving.

In the past few months, Chun'er has been looking forward to the young lady waking up quickly every day, but waiting, waiting, waiting through the autumn water, the young lady still doesn't wake up, she is really afraid that the young lady will lie in bed for the rest of her life and can't get up.

Thinking of this, Chun'er's mood finally relaxed, and happy tears couldn't help but flow down her cheeks.

The falling tears fell onto the back of Zhang Ruoxi's hand, the warm feeling made her heart shake suddenly, she sat up from the bed excitedly, and looked carefully at the scene and object in front of her, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she became more and more panicked.

As a doctor, she has encountered many incurable diseases, except for her own emotional affairs, she usually treats them with a very calm mood, but at this time she can't keep calm, because the situation is too paradoxical.

Why does everything in front of you look like it is played in TV costume dramas...... With an antique feel?!
