Chapter 8: The Past of My Parents
After lunch, Ruan Wushuang instructed Mama Liu and Red Sleeves to go down to prepare the things for tomorrow's memorial prayers, and took advantage of the afternoon sunshine to call someone to move a chair and lazily bask in the sun.
When Ruan Yunrou came, she saw such a scene, the woman in pink was lying on the chair, the green silk like a waterfall hung down quietly, her eyes gently closed, and her beautiful face faced the dappled sunlight under the canopy, like a sleeping fairy.
Ruan Yunrou squinted, her eyes were filled with endless jealousy and hatred, and her chest was full of monstrous jealousy, she gritted her teeth, the person she hated and envied the most was Ruan Wushuang, she had status, beauty, and talent, all of which she desired, but because of Ruan Wushuang, she couldn't get anything.
"Sister Wushuang. Ruan Yun suppressed the emotions in her heart and called softly, her face did not show the gloom just now, and she had a shallow but gentle smile.
From the time Ruan Yunrou stepped into the shallow song courtyard, Ruan Wushuang had already noticed it, but because her eyelids were a little heavy, she didn't want to open her eyes, so she simply half-squinted, and the change in the expression on Ruan Yunrou's face, Ruan Wushuang saw it all.
"Well, it's Sister Yunrou. Ruan Wushuang slowly opened his eyelids, and said in a lazy and light tone.
"Well, Sister Wushuang is so elegant. Ruan Yunrou said innocently, and walked slowly towards Ruan Wushuang.
Ruan Wushuang looked at Ruan Yunrou's pretentious smile, and couldn't help but feel disgusted, she was a scheming wolf, but she preferred to disguise herself as a kind and cute little sheep, it was really embarrassing for her, but it was a pity that her tail was exposed too thoroughly.
According to the memories of her previous life, Ruan Yunrou came today to say that she would go with her tomorrow to pay tribute to her mother and pray, and then take the opportunity to stumble, and finally let her and Song Zichen "meet perfectly".
"Sister is looking for sister!" Ruan Wushuang went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, his smile was shallow, but that smile did not contain any warmth, it seemed mild, but it was not difficult to find that there was a downright chill behind it.
Ruan Yunrou subconsciously shuddered, stood a foot away from Ruan Wushuang and paused, was that look really Ruan Wushuang's just now?
"Is my sister cold?" Ruan Wushuang's sneer on the corner of his mouth flashed.
"Oh! No, by the way, Sister Wushuang will be her mother's death day tomorrow, do you need Yun Rou to prepare anything?" Ruan Yun Rou sorted out her emotions, put on a well-behaved smile, and asked softly.
"No, what is needed, I have already ordered to go down and prepare. Ruan Wushuang said lightly, his dark eyes seemed to sweep over Ruan Yunrou carelessly, but Ruan Yunrou couldn't help but tremble.
"That's good, then Sister Wushuang, when will we leave tomorrow?" Ruan Yunrou continued to ask.
"It's not us, it's me, so you don't need to follow it. Ruan Wushuang said in a non-obsessive tone.
Ruan Yunrou's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and her face was a little ugly.
"But......" Ruan Yunrou thought to say, yes, we used to go together. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ruan Wushuang: "Okay, I'm tired." ”
Ruan Yun raised her eyebrows softly, biting her lip, the gloom in her eyes flashed, how could this be? She couldn't figure out why Ruan Wushuang suddenly became like another person, she just wanted to refute and want to fight, but she found that she couldn't talk about it, and she was even more afraid of Ruan Wushuang's eyes in her heart.
"Okay, that Wushuang sister is resting, and Yun Rou retreated. After all, she gave up, Ruan Yunrou was slightly blessed, and retreated.
After Ruan Yunrou left, Ruan Wushuang slowly closed her eyelids again, she thought about her mother all night last night, so she didn't sleep well, she was a little sleepy this time, I just hope that today's nurse can still find the doctor who diagnosed and treated her mother back then.
Thinking about it, Ruan Wushuang fell asleep in a daze.
Ruan Wushuang was awakened by Ruan Shiqing.
"Although the weather is good, it is still a little cool. Ruan Shiqing swung his robe and sat on the chair that Red Sleeves had just moved.
Ruan Wushuang was in a trance for a moment, and after he was completely awake, he smelled Ruan Shiqing's words of concern, pursed his lips that were a little dry, sat up, and replied, "When did my father come?"
"Just came. ”
"Hmm. Ruan Wushuang hummed lightly, and then ordered Red Sleeves to go down and make tea.
"Tomorrow will be your mother's death day. Ruan Shiqing's tone suddenly became a little stunned.
Ruan Wushuang sighed silently and hummed softly.
"Wushuang, do you blame your father?"
"Huh?" Ruan Wushuang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Shiqing with a sad expression, she didn't know why her father suddenly said this.
Ruan Shiqing sighed, and then his thoughts seemed to be stuck in the past, and his eyes suddenly became deep.
"The luckiest thing in my father's life is to marry your mother, and she is the most sorry person. ”
Ruan Wushuang was silent, did his father say that he was sorry because he married Li later?
That night, my father got drunk and mistook Li for her. Speaking of this, Ruan Shiqing paused, and then said: "Your mother not only didn't blame me, but also asked me to marry her because Li was pregnant, I didn't want to, I only loved her, so I had an unpleasant quarrel with your mother, and I married Li because of your mother's anger." ”
"You know everything later, Wushuang, my father is sorry for you, and even more sorry for your mother. I've always wanted to say sorry to her, but I haven't had the courage, which is why my father has not dared to see her for so many years. ”
Later, everything that followed was that my father was sent out by the imperial court, and my mother suddenly fell ill and left, and she was still chanting her father's name until the moment of her death.
Ruan Wushuang raised her eyes and looked at her father who was full of repentance, at first she thought that her father liked other people, not her mother, at that time she used to hate her father, but later her mother told her that her father was forced to do so, and the aunt named Li was a good person.
Mother, Mother, have you ever thought that because of your words, your daughter has mistaken the jackal for a good lamb?
She believes that her father only loves her mother alone, and she also believes that her father was forced to do so at the beginning, because she has also seen it in her eyes for so many years, and the Li family is just a vase like an ornament in the house. It's just that she doesn't understand why her father would suddenly say this to her.
"Why did the father suddenly tell his daughter about this?" Ruan Wushuang asked from the bottom of his heart. There was a slight sentimentality in his dark eyes.
"I just think that Wushuang is already sensible, and there are some things that should be known to you. Ruan Shiqing sighed faintly and said, if Ruan Wushuang was still the same as before, he would not tell her this, he was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, but the events of that day made him understand that Ruan Wushuang was no longer the Ruan Wushuang before. And this guilt has been hidden in his heart for too long.
Ruan Wushuang also stood up slowly, pursing his lips for a while.
"Father is gone. Ruan Shiqing walked out after speaking, Ruan Wushuang was silent, looking at Ruan Shiqing's back until she disappeared, she didn't know what kind of love her father and mother had in the past, but she knew that her mother loved her father miserably, and her father loved her mother very much, and it was enough, and Yu Mother probably thought the same.
"Miss. The voice of the red sleeves pulled Ruan Wushuang's thoughts back.
Ruan Wushuang glanced slightly, and saw the red sleeves standing in a daze carrying the tea, the red sleeves lowered their heads, she didn't know what happened to the young lady and the master just now, she just felt that the air here was inexplicably heavy, and Shen was cold.
"Well, what about the nurse?" Ruan Wushuang said lightly, not hearing any emotion, and gently brushed the somewhat wrinkled skirt with his hand.
"In the kitchen!" replied Redsleeves.
"Well, how about what I told you to do in Redsleeves?"
Red Sleeves bit her lip and replied, "It's done, but the person who Miss told me to look for didn't find it." ”
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, the doctor who diagnosed his mother back then can be said to be the only breakthrough, it's just that after so many years, it's understandable that he can't find it. Looking at the red sleeves with lowered eyes, afraid of being blamed by her, Ruan Wushuang said in a soft tone: "That's it, just look for it slowly in the future." ”
"Hmm!" Redsleeves looked up. I wanted to be scolded, but I didn't want to be unexpected, and when I raised my eyes, there was only a slender back left.
