What she had just hidden was an unfinished handkerchief, and the pattern on the handkerchief was a lotus flower.

A widow sat on the floor of the ancestral hall and embroidered lotus flowers.

What about kneeling and holding the incense burner and sincerely repenting?

After the initial shock, Zheng Xian'er's cheeks gradually became hot.

Lou Que flicked his sleeves and stepped into the door. The sunlight fell mottled on his face through the bamboo curtain in front of the window, shining like a star.

At this time, Lou Que's face could no longer see joy and anger, as if the smile just now did not exist at all.

Zheng Xian'er didn't dare to look at his face anymore, she hurriedly lowered her head and calmed down, and stood up with a smile: "Today is neither the fifteenth day of the new year, nor is there a sacrificial ceremony, what is the fifth prince doing in the ancestral hall?" ”

Lou Que saw her bluffing, her eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of her lips were playfully hooked: "If you don't come to the ancestral hall, how do you know if the third sister-in-law is here to sincerely repent?" ”

His gaze swept over Zheng Xian'er's hand hidden behind him, meaning something.

This sentence implied ridicule, which aroused Zheng Xian'er's stubbornness.

She held her head high, not to be outdone: "Sincere repentance? The Lou family can beat me and kill me, but I can't if I want to repent! If the fifth son can't get used to it, he can tell his wife, and I can only enter the coffin again! ”

Lou Que smiled unconsciously when he heard this: "At this time, you see death as home?" When the coffin was sealed that night, I don't know who was so frightened that his face turned white, and he stretched out a hand from the coffin when he was dying! ”

Zheng Xian'er was a little annoyed and angry, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so she had to glare at the other party angrily: "If you are here to tease me, this is almost enough; If you have come to ask me for a life-saving reward, I am in ...... situation now."

Lou Que walked to the table and sat down, and then she continued: "Your current situation is indeed not good. In the past two days, my father has begun to look for an heir for you among the younger generations - after you have passed his son into the door and the chastity archway has come to an end, I am afraid that the Lou family will no longer have a reason to keep you. ”

When Zheng Xian'er heard this, a fire burned in her heart: "It turns out that the fifth prince is here to warn me?" I don't bother you, I know all of this! ”

Lou Que looked at her suspiciously: "Could it be that the third sister-in-law has already taken measures?" In this way, it is a brother's nosy! ”

Zheng Xian'er never guessed his intentions, and she had doubts in her heart, and her words were inevitably full of gunpowder: "My life has always been up to me, where can I have any countermeasures?" The fifth prince came here to tell me these things today, could it be that he was planning to send the Buddha to the west? I don't know what I should give in exchange for your protection. I'm incompetent and incompetent, and I'm the only one who can handle it. - Do you want to accept the fifth son? ”

When Lou Que heard this, his face sank, and his tone immediately became cold: "The third sister-in-law wants to go wrong!" I can save you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime, and I have no reason to protect you for a lifetime! Now there is only one way for you to live, and that is to leave the Lou family! ”

"You're going to drive me away?" Zheng Xian'er's heart tightened.

Lou Que exhaled and stood up: "You should know that the Lou family can't accommodate you for a long time." Hengzhu, you are not a woman who has been three chastity and nine spirits from the beginning, there is no reason to stay in this ghost place and wait for death - the Zheng family can't go back, I can send you and your sweetheart out of Sangyu County, and the silver and silver for the future have been prepared for you. ”

Zheng Xian'er stood stunned for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "Do you think I must have an adulterer?" ”

Lou Que furrowed his brows.

Zheng Xian'er turned to him, raised her head and looked directly at him: "I understand the kindness of the fifth prince to save me." It's a pity that I don't have an adulterer, who do you let me go to after I leave the house? It's true that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but this time...... I have nowhere to run, and I don't intend to run away! It is said that the Lou family can't tolerate me, but I don't believe in this evil, I prefer to live in this courtyard frankly and beautifully! ”

Lou Que seemed to be a little shaken, but then slowly shook his head: "The Lou family is not having a good time. You are still young, even if you are lucky enough to save your life, how can you really be a widow for a man you have never met? ”

Zheng Xian'er took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "What if you don't want to be widowed?" In this world, there has never been a way for a woman to live! Even if I left the Lou family and Sangyu County, it was just moving from one cage to another, and escaping from one desperate situation to another, so why bother with that effort? ”
