Compared with Cheng Wang's sad crying, Cheng Jinrong was calm and almost cold.

Cheng Wang subconsciously looked at his daughter: "Jinrong, don't you want your mother?" ”

The mother is alive and well, and she is the queen mother in the palace. It is not Pei Wanru buried in this grave at all, but the vicious Pei Wanqing.

Cheng Jinrong thought silently in his heart, and said in his mouth: "The dead are gone, and the living must live well." ”

"I was only two years old when my mother died. After all these years, I have always wondered how good it would be if my mother were still alive. But if you think about it again, the dead will not survive. Being immersed in pain all the time does nothing good except to torture yourself. So, I don't think much about her anymore. ”

"Dad is the same, the pain in his heart will always get through one day. Let my mother rest in peace underground and reincarnate as a human without worry! ”

The deep meaning in the words is only clear to Cheng Jinrong himself.

Cheng Wang looked at his daughter with a calm face in a daze, and sighed for a long time: "Jinrong, you are right." ”

"It's me who is too stubborn. Perhaps, I have been thinking about her all these years, and it has also made her uneasy underground and unable to be reincarnated. I have a shallow relationship with her in this life, and I only hope that in the next life, she and I can be together for a long time. ”

Cheng Jinrong did not say anything.

She slowly took the yellow paper and put it into the fire one by one.

The flames quickly engulfed, and the yellow paper quickly burned out.

Cheng Wang wiped his tears with his sleeve, picked up a stack of yellow paper, and put them into the fire one by one.

The sky was getting dark, and the two figures kneeling in front of the grave were gilded with a faint halo by the afterglow of the setting sun.

……

A footstep sounded quietly behind the father and daughter.

Cheng Wang was immersed in pain and didn't hear footsteps.

Cheng Jinrong turned around, and when he saw the face of the visitor, he couldn't help but be stunned. This woman, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, was beautiful and heroic, and her bright eyes silently stared at Cheng Wang's back.

The person who came turned out to be Lu Huiniang.

"I'm sorry, I came a little presumptuous." Lu Huiniang's voice sounded softly.

Cheng Jinrong said softly: "Why did Miss Lu come here?" ”

Lu Huiniang replied in a low voice: "Since the military doctor Cheng arrived in the capital, I am looking forward to him coming to see me every day. I didn't wait for him for a few days, and I couldn't hold it back. Today, I brazenly took the initiative to go to Cheng's mansion, and I heard Mrs. Zhao say that your father and daughter are here. So I came. ”

Cheng Wang, who was in a state of confusion, finally came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Lu Huiniang.

After six years, the two met again.

Lu Huiniang was not shy, she stared at Cheng Wang and whispered softly: "I know, you may not want to see me now." Actually, I've been waiting outside for a long time. Now it's getting dark, and your father and daughter haven't come out, so I can't rest assured, so I muster up the courage to come. ”

"I want to kowtow to Sister Pei, is that okay?"

According to the custom of Dachu, to enter the door on the second day of marriage, you must enter the ancestral hall and kowtow to the deceased main room.

Before Lu Huiniang passed the door, she took the initiative to kowtow to the grave of "Pei Wanru". Such a move can be described as extremely sincere.

Cheng Wang's heart was moved, and the expression on his face softened a lot: "Miss Lu, you don't have to be like this. ”

Lu Huiniang said: "You don't think I'm presumptuous and rude." As he spoke, he stepped forward, knelt down behind Cheng Wang, and kowtowed three times.

After kowtowing, Lu Huiniang picked up the yellow paper and put it in the fire.

Cheng Jinrong: "......"

Actually, you don't have to.

The one buried in this grave was not Pei Wanru at all.

However, this misunderstanding is destined to be unsolvable. Cheng Jinrong silently watched Lu Huiniang kowtow, and silently looked at Cheng Wang's eyes flashing with emotion and gentleness.

That's fine.

Lu Huiniang was infatuated with Cheng Wang, and was willing to come to the grave of the dead house to kowtow and burn paper for him. This piece of mind, can Cheng Wangyan not be moved?

"It's getting dark, Dad, and we should go back too." Cheng Jinrong opened his mouth to break the silence.

Cheng Wang nodded.

After kneeling for a long time, Cheng Wang's knees were numb. He stumbled a little when he got up. Cheng Jinrong's eyes quickly reached out to support Cheng Wang. Lu Huiniang's movements were one step faster than Cheng Jinrong: "Is your leg numb?" ”

Cheng Wang was not used to having a woman get close to him like this, so he reflexively dodged to the side: "I can still hold it, Miss Lu doesn't have to worry." ”

This Miss Lu looked a little rusty.

Lu Huiniang didn't mind, and said softly: "The two of us have set a family affair, and the wedding date is August 20. In a month, we will be married. I'm holding you, and it's not too much. ”

Cheng Jinrong secretly applauded his future stepmother in his heart.

In the face of Cheng Wang, you have to be enthusiastic and proactive. Anyway, the marriage date has been set and they are about to get married, and Cheng Wang's strong heart should be broken.

Cheng Wang was a little embarrassed, coughed and said, "What you said is that I overreacted just now." ”

Lu Huiniang pursed her lips and smiled, and stretched out her hand again.

Cheng Wang didn't dodge this time, and let Lu Huiniang's hand fall on his arm. Cheng Jinrong held his other arm, and the three of them walked out together.

After walking far away, Cheng Wang couldn't help but glance back.

The lonely tomb, engulfed in the boundless darkness, was blurry and indistinct.

Cheng Jinrong didn't look back, steadily helped his father, and walked out of the Pei family cemetery.

……

Cheng Wang and Cheng Jinrong want to return to Cheng Mansion.

It was getting late, and it was obviously inconvenient for Lu Huiniang to go to Chengfu with her. However, it is a little unkind to let Lu Huiniang go back alone at this time.

Cheng Wang hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Miss Lu...... Hui Niang, thank you for coming to kowtow to Rumei's grave tonight. ”

Lu Huiniang, who originally looked calm, suddenly turned red after hearing this Huiniang.

She dreamed countless times that Cheng Wang looked at her tenderly and called her Huiniang. When I woke up, it was empty. She is strong on the surface, but in fact she is sad in her heart. This obscure mood is in front of her father and mother, and she never refuses to say it.

She waited for ten years, and finally waited for this day.

Cheng Wang saw Lu Huiniang in tears, a little at a loss, and subconsciously glanced at Cheng Jinrong. A smile flashed in Cheng Jinrong's eyes: "It's so late, Miss Lu goes back alone, it's inconvenient." Daddy, send Miss Lu home! ”

Cheng Wang nodded habitually, and immediately reacted: "Then what should you do alone?" ”

Cheng Jinrong smiled: "With perilla licorice with me, and so many guards with me, what does my father have to worry about." ”

That year, Cheng Jinrong was assassinated outside the Second Prince's Mansion and almost died. Since then, no matter where he goes, there must be more than a dozen He Mansion guards accompanying him.

Cheng Wang didn't say anything more.

After Cheng Jinrong left, Cheng Wang said to Lu Huiniang: "I'll send you back." ”

Lu Huiniang blinked, the water in her eyes disappeared, and a touching bright smile rose at the corner of her mouth: "Okay." ”
