Zhilan was about to get married in a few days, and the eldest lady unexpectedly came to sit in her room. 

"Mother, why are you here today?" Zhilan still has a grudge against the past. 

"Show me your wedding dress." The eldest lady got up and looked at the closet, sighing and falling into memory, "It's so beautiful." I also once dreamed of wearing such a beautiful wedding dress when I got married. It's a pity ......"

"Mother, you ......"

"I'm not qualified to be your mother. I feel ashamed that you call me that. I came to see you, we have lived together for so many years, I have watched you grow up. You're going to be out of the cabinet in a few days, and I'm really reluctant to have one less person in the family. The eldest lady suddenly had a sour nose, "I don't know if you have anything else to use?" Tell me, and I'll tell my subordinates to go and procure it. ”

Zhilan shook his head. 

The eldest lady took her hand and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed. I'm afraid this is the most heart-to-heart of the two in the past 23 years. 

"Lan'er, don't blame your mother. If you were unhappy and unhappy at home before, don't take it to your new home. When marrying into the Li family, you must respect your husband, after all, he is your God; You have to honor your in-laws, your husband's family is not like our family, there are many people. It is not easy to be a daughter-in-law, I believe that with your intelligence, you will do a good job with your heart. The eldest lady said emotionally. 

Zhilan sighed in her heart, just because she is not the old man's biological daughter, she is really close to her and becomes an enemy, and it is better to be polite to call "mother" for so many years. 

After the eldest lady said this, her heart was much more relaxed. Zhilan sat down without saying a word, but the eldest lady got up and said, "I'm here suddenly, you can rest." ”

Rong's mother happened to be in Zhilan's room to pack up and change clothes, and met the eldest lady at the staircase, saluted, and watched her go upstairs. Seeing her back disappear, Rong's mother knocked on her door, and asked nervously as soon as she entered the door, "What is the eldest lady doing again?" ”

"It's nothing, just talk for a while."

"She? Chat? Rong's mother was quite surprised.

"yes. Maybe I'm about to get married, and no one is going against her at home, so it's just a little emotional. Rong Mom, you came just in time, I have something to ask you. Zhilan took out a key and handed it to her, "This is the key to my drawer, and I will give it to you for safekeeping when I am not at home." ”

"This ......"

"Take it, Yancui will marry with me to the Li family, there is no one here to entrust except you." Zhilan smiled.

"Miss, I'm ......" Rong Ma looked at the key in her palm, hesitated, and her decision was never said.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's fine." Rong's mother thinks about it or doesn't let her know, it's better to keep a thought, "I'll take good care of it." ”

Rong Ma walked out of Zhilan's room and wiped the tears that had quietly flowed. She planned to wait for Miss Zhilan to return to the countryside after she got married, and she planned to resign to her by the way, but she didn't expect that Miss entrusted the key to herself, and she couldn't open her mouth even more.

Phoenix finally looked forward to Mu Qing going home. At night, the second young master was drunk and staggered, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Zhilan wanted to step forward to help, but Phoenix suddenly pushed her intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't follow up after such an interruption.

Phoenix helped Muqing lie on the bed, skillfully calling the girl to pass the basin, preparing her nightgown, scrubbing, changing clothes, and preparing sobering tea, so busy.

Zhilan looked outside the door, she hadn't seen Mu Qing for many days, and she had been telling herself that her heart was as calm as water, and when she saw his familiar face again, all the dikes of lies she had built collapsed, and her emotions erupted uncontrollably.

When the phoenix was done, he came out and closed the door. Zhilan always felt that she glanced at herself coldly, and looked at her and a few little maids walking away. She took advantage of the unpreparedness and quietly opened the door and dodged in. She sat on the edge of Mu Qing's bed and caressed his face. Under the influence of alcohol, Mu Qing slept very deeply, his sleeping appearance was very beautiful, with long eyeliner, curled eyelashes, a high nose, and slightly pursed lips. Often some people look at Qingjun when they wake up, but they look different when they fall asleep, Mu Qing belongs to the person who wakes up and sleeps consistently.

He whispered, "Lan'er......"

Zhilan's heart ached, and she leaned over and kissed him greedily on the lips. Mu Qing responded vaguely, she kissed inseparably, and inadvertently shed tears.

"Why can't you let it go yourself?" This was also said to herself, "Mu Qing, forgive me." ”

Mu Qing let out a "hmm", and I don't know if I heard it.

Phoenix took a look and turned back, she knocked on the door to interrupt Zhilan's movements, she hurriedly got up to let Phoenix into the house, she stood aside, watching Phoenix quickly clean up a few dirty clothes left on the floor.

Phoenix hugged the clothes and said to Zhilan, "Third Miss." The second young master came back this time and was still drunk and unconscious. It's better to wait for him to sober up before talking to him. Besides, he can't respond to you if you talk like this, right? ”

Zhilan listened to her words and glanced at her in confusion. Phoenix, this girl is also a brave girl, and after speaking, she went out with her clothes as if nothing happened.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Zhilan came out of the pavilion. Everyone in the family was beaming, the Zhou family was hung with red colors, and the servants put on festive new clothes. Early in the morning, a combing maid came to groom Zhilan, helped her change into a wedding dress and put on a veil, and specially gave her a flower crown woven with small orange flowers.

"The Li family's car is here." There were already servants of the Zhou Mansion shouting at the door, Li Shaowen walked into the house quickly, today he was wearing a well-fitting black dress, with a jeweled corsage pinned to the lapel of his clothes, and he couldn't help but smile in his eyes, waiting for his bride.

Zhilan was surrounded by servants and walked out of the boudoir in a wedding dress, and everyone looked sideways. Mu Qing watched her stand there with a dazzling bouquet of pale red musk caryophyllus tied with a forged belt, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

At this moment, Mu Qing hated to take her away desperately, but Lan'er's attitude ...... Mu Qing still doesn't understand what went wrong that made her change her mind, or is she playing with her feelings as she said herself? Whatever the reason, now he watched with his eyes on the woman he loved walking towards another man.

In the midst of everyone's exclamations and cheers, Li Shaowen stepped forward to hug Zhilan, she was embarrassed to hold his neck, and he carried him into the car, it was still the car she was familiar with, or the back seat she was familiar with, but it was decorated with flowers today.

Zhilan sat in the car, Shaowen took her hand and held her arm with satisfaction, she caught a glimpse of Mu Qing standing outside, and suddenly lost the smile deliberately created on her face, Mu Qing looked lonely in a pure black robe today, and she was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. Zhilan couldn't bear to look directly, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

The Zhou family got into the back cars of the Li family's convoy. The eldest lady and Master Zhou together, today the old man is very pleased, he specially burned incense to pray to Bai Xin, his daughter is married, I wish her to bless Zhilan all the best. As if she was marrying her own daughter, the eldest lady put on a red cheongsam, and was a little reluctant and a little happy, completely forgetting the tension with Lan a few months ago.

Yuehua Muqing was in a car, the two of them had their own thoughts, Yuehua thought that Zhilan's marriage was settled, and it was her turn to hug the beauty immediately, and she could see Qi Shan at the wedding again today, and the joy on his face couldn't overflow. Mu Qing frowned, if it weren't for the arrival of reporters with guests today, he wouldn't want to participate in this wedding at all.

The Yue Gong Hotel was chartered by the Li family today, with a red carpet paving and flower ribbons decorating it with special festivity. The Li family has a wide range of friends and many guests, not to mention that this is a big news in the city, and the crowds are surging and jubilant.

Li Shaowen helped the bride to get out of the car in high spirits, the reporter took pictures for a while, the maid sprinkled flowers on the side, and the guests applauded. Shaowen got carried away excitedly, played his cards out of common sense, and still picked up Zhilan and walked towards the banquet hall.

Jingru stood and watched their sweet scene, her heart was as uncomfortable as thousands of ants gnawing at it, that was originally the position she was about to get with her hard work, and she was taken away by someone, Li Shaowen has become her belief for many years, and now her faith has collapsed in front of her, and she can only look at Zhilan coldly and be in the limelight, guessing that tomorrow what she will see in the newspaper will be news like "The love of the virtuous couple is as deep as the sea", what is it!

The other felt that it was unexpected because of Wan Xinqiao, looking at the face of Master Li with deep smile lines on the side. She felt that the new daughter-in-law was quite scheming, and she could confuse her sensible son and couldn't find the north. She didn't like such a daughter-in-law, if Zhilan was pampered and arrogant, how could she restrain her? She frowned and thought, turned her head to look at the generous Jinghong, and the more she looked, the more she loved it, the more she loved it, the more she loved it.

The newlyweds had already entered the hall, and all the guests had swarmed in. The eldest lady also took Master Zhou into the hall. The newcomers stood in front of the rostrum, and the word Xi was hung on the stage, and it was still full of flowers.

The witness opened a volume of certificates and read the oath: "I am happy that the two surnames are married today, and they are married together, and they are married forever, matching the same name." Look at the peach blossoms burning on this day, it is appropriate to have a room for IKEA, and the melons are full of melons in the year of Bu Ta, and Erchang is blazing. I would like to take the covenant of the white head, and write to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves will contain the mandarin spectrum. This is the proof!"

The oath is recited.

He asked Li Shaowen: "Li Shaowen, are you willing to marry Zhou Zhilan, no matter hardship, illness, poverty, or disability, you will never leave for life?" ”

Li Shaowen replied dryly: "I am willing." ”

Asked the same again, she choked slightly, paused for a moment, and replied, "I do." ”

These three words completely broke Mu Qing's heart. He had been quietly standing at the outermost part of the crowd to watch the ceremony, listening to the hall that seemed to echo, Zhilan's "I do" was like a hammer hitting him, and he couldn't help but walk out of the hall in discouragement.

The garden outside was sunny, and even though it was early summer, the sun in Jiangcheng was starting to get hot. Mu Qing wandered aimlessly in the garden, and the sun did not feel warm on his body. He regretted not bringing a glass of wine with him on the table.

"Master Tuesday, how about a drink with me?" A woman walked over with two glasses of red wine and a light smile.

"Are you...... Qi Mei? Mu Qing faintly remembered the ice beauty that Ruolan had introduced to him at Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, she looked very arrogant and unapproachable, but she didn't expect to have an active side.

"I thought it was stuffy in there, so I came out and walked around, I didn't want to bump into you, the second young master." Qi Mei said bluntly.

"Thank you. I was just thinking about a drink. Such a beautiful view cannot be disappointed. Mu Qing took the wine she gave and drank it all.

"That's not how wine is drunk. You call borrowing wine to drown your sorrows, and good wine should be tasted slowly. Qi Mei shook her head and said, "But I don't think you're interested today." But it's strange, your sister should be happy to get married, why does it look like she is out of love? ”

"That's my sister. You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Mu Qing suddenly lowered his face at her.

"Okay, I'll not say anything. How about I ask you for a wine tasting another day? ”

"Okay." On wine tasting in this city Mu Qing is already an expert, and suddenly a woman dared to compete with him, Mu Qing looked at her a few more times.

"Then it's a deal." Qi Mei smiled. The way she laughed was a bit similar to Zhilan, which made Mu Qing's mood more and more depressed, it turned out that lovesickness was a disease that hurt to the bones, and when he retracted his thoughts and looked at his side, Qi Mei had already left.

When Mu Qing slowly walked into the hall, the ceremony was almost over. He could see that Zhilan was only smiling, but this was her own choice, and now she had to bear it herself.
