Back in the chrysanthemum garden, Ruojun was sad and just wanted to cry, but Ryan couldn't cry when he was around, Ryan nervously poured her a cup of tea, and asked worriedly, "What do you think?" Do you want to get a doctor? ”

She shook her head and took a sip of tea, he was so good to her, it made her heart heavier, she stared at him, her husband, she had never looked at him well, sometimes Ruojun would think, if Ryan and Ruikang were replaced, it was Ruikang's appearance that was ruined, would he still fall in love with Ruikang? What a poignant question, she didn't know, maybe she was superficial, she didn't have the ability to be transcendent.

Ryan was very weak by her gaze, lowered his head, and said, "Don't look at me, I'm ...... I'm not good-looking. ”

His humility can always touch the soft place in her heart, kindness, kindness, compassion, are the good qualities of human beings, she smiled and shook her head: "Ryan, I don't want to hypocritically comfort you, but you must understand that there are many, many more miserable people in this world than you. In any case, you were also born in a wealthy country, with fine clothes and food, parents and brothers, and outstanding talents, much better than many people. ”

Ryan nodded a little ashamedly and said softly, "You...... You...... Aggrieved? ”

The sky has gradually brightened, but the fog is deep, Ruojun looked at the gradually whitening sky outside the window, sighed and said: "Marrying you is the will of God, it is fate, I am not wronged." ”

Ryan limped up to her, mustered up his courage, and put his arms around her shoulders, Ruojun smiled slightly, and leaned his head lightly on him. His excited palms were sweating, his body was a little stiff, and his heart was pounding.

"It's almost dawn, would you like to sleep for a while," he asked.

As soon as she heard this, she involuntarily straightened up again, and said with some embarrassment: "You must be tired, go to sleep." ”

He stared into her eyes for a long time, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, nodded, and said, "You can sleep for a while." ”

After speaking, he walked slowly to the door with his cane. Ruojun was puzzled and hurriedly shouted to him: "Ryan, where are you going?" ”

"Study, you...... You can't sleep on the floor all the time. ”

She chased after him and grabbed him, at a loss, in fact, she knew that what he said was the only way, did she have to sleep on the floor all the time? Or do you want to become a real couple with Ryan? Her hand took him, but she couldn't say a word.

Seeing her embarrassment and contradiction, he shook his head gently, patted her hand, and said gently, "I can ...... Wait. Besides, your great filial piety ..... filial piety. ”

Saying that, he opened the door, crutches, limped into the morning mist, watching his back gradually disappear into the mist, Ruojun suddenly had a kind of fear, a fear of losing him, she wanted to call him, but her throat was still stuck by something, she was really not ready, she was confused, what could she do if she shouted him?

She finally turned around and closed the door, worried all night, she felt very tired, lying on the bed, falling asleep, in a dream for a while Ruikang looked at her with a bloody heart, a knife was inserted in the heart, with every provocation, blood gushed out from the knife, Ruikang asked herself angrily, why did she turn her back on the former alliance, why torture him, she wanted to explain to him in pain, but he didn't listen, she only heard him keep scolding herself, the whole picture was bloody, terrifying, panicked, gunsmoke, She wanted to tell him that she loved him, but she opened her mouth, but there was no sound, and his eyes slowly disappeared into the smoke with a look of grief, pain, disappointment, and reproach......

She chased after her, but suddenly saw him hugging a woman, he kissed the woman, her heart was like a knife in an instant, crying and turned to run away, there was a thick fog around her, the silence around her was like death, and gradually the fog dissipated, she saw Ryan standing among the flowers, a piece of sunlight shone on him, stretched out his hand to her, his appearance recovered, he smiled at her, quiet, gentle, affectionate, calm, she ran towards him, he gently hugged her into his arms, she only felt relaxed, safe, calm.

But she still couldn't let go of Ruikang, the lava in her heart was still burning, and her confused mouth would shout "Ruikang" and "Ruian" for a while...... The sharp pain in her heart made her unable to sleep anymore, and she hugged the quilt and cried.

"Who are you crying for? Ruikang or Ryan? The cold voice of her mother-in-law came into her ears, and she was almost out of her body, and she turned around sharply to see Mrs. Zhou standing in front of the bed as cold as ice.

"Mother!" Ruojun sat up from the bed with a trembling body, lifted the quilt, and almost fell off the bed.

"What about Ryan?"

Mei Ruojun hurriedly put on her shoes in embarrassment, tied her clothes, and said with a trembling mouth: "It's time to go back to the study......

"Why? You drove him away? ”

"No, I didn't. I ......" she muttered, how was she going to explain? "I am filial to my body...... No...... Inconvenience. ”

Mrs. Zhou frowned, squinted at her, paced to the window, and said, "It's a good excuse, but I'm coming to you today, not for Ryan, but for Ryan." ”

Ruojun raised her eyelashes and looked at her mother-in-law's back.

"I can't watch Ruikang go down like this." Mrs. Zhou looked at the scenery outside the window, took a breath and said, "It's very bitter, isn't it?" ”

Ruojun didn't understand what her mother-in-law meant, so she didn't dare to answer the phone, so Mrs. Zhou continued: "I know everything about you and Ruikang in the Mei family. ”

What the? Mother-in-law knows? What did the mother-in-law know? Ruojun looked at her mother-in-law in surprise and panic.

"Actually, I already noticed that something was wrong...... Mrs. Zhou took out a note from her hand, Ruojun took it and read it, and only one sentence was written on it: "When the wind and snow are exhausted, there are people who cherish flowers!" Ruojun still doesn't understand.

"This is what Ruikang wrote to you when you wrote Yongmei poems that day, and he asked Cuiliu to be the messenger, but I intercepted him."

Ruojun was ashamed, ashamed and heartbroken, lowered his head and shouted: "Mother...... I ......"

Mrs. Zhou ignored her and continued: "I have always been forbearing, secretly preventing things from getting worse, and I have been knocking on the side in the hope that you can restrain and stay away from Ruikang." ”

Mrs. Zhou suddenly turned her head, changed her angry face, and said, "But I failed, you are so shameless, do you know that your infidelity will ruin him." Mrs. Zhou's eyes suddenly turned red, grabbed Mei Ruojun's wrist, trembled her lips and said, "Have you seen him?" Did you see him? Look at what you've done to him? Do you see that? See? You scourge! ”

Mrs. Zhou kept screaming in pain, shaking Mei Ruojun, and pushed her to the ground, Mrs. Zhou also cried, she fell on the kang by the window, and supported her forehead with her hands, as a mother, in order to keep the reputation of her two sons, she didn't endure it for a long time, suppressed it for a long time, but Ruikang's negative and sinky appearance made her unable to keep silent, she couldn't let people ruin him, she had to save her child.

Ruojun knelt on the ground, bowed her head silently, sobbing, she didn't know what to say, her heart had already broken thousands of pieces, and she was willing to accept any punishment.

"Let me ask you......" Mrs. Zhou propped her forehead, eased her emotions, squinted at Mei Ruojun on the ground and said, "Do you have any ...... with Ruikang?" ”

Ruojun looked at Mrs. Zhou for some reason, and Mrs. Zhou was a little hesitant and embarrassed and said, "I mean, did you and Ruikang have any transgressions?" Although Cuiliu said that he slept in the wing room every night in Mei's house, I knew that she couldn't keep an eye on you all the time. You say, "Do you two?" ”

Ruojun then understood what Mrs. Zhou was referring to, and immediately blushed to the base of her neck, and hurriedly shook her head, feeling very ashamed in her heart.

Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes, and a stone in her heart fell to the ground, because before she came here, she was thinking that if Ruikang and Ruojun already had a couple, then they could really only use extreme means.

"Okay, that's still saved. Mei Ruojun, I know that you have endured a lot, I can let you see you once. To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, and I want you to open this knot yourself. ”

Ruojun looked at her mother-in-law in a panic, and Mrs. Zhou changed her cold expression and said slowly: "I want you to go and say goodbye to him and cut off his thoughts." Do you understand? ”

"After lunch today, Cuiliu will pass the word for you, I will wait for you at the back door, take you to the place where you meet, you remember, I will secretly monitor your words and deeds, you do it yourself."

"Nope! Mother! She knelt down and cried, "Mother, I can't see him, I promise you, I won't see him again...... But please, don't let me say that...... He won't believe it. He thinks now that I'm married to Ryan, let him think so, let him hate me, and he'll get better. ”

Mrs. Zhou pushed her away in disgust, frowned, and said: "He won't, he is my son, I know how stubborn he is, if you don't say no to him, he will always be in love with you." Only by letting him see your ruthless and shameless side can he dislike you, and only by making him disgusted with you can he be truly liberated. You're going to tell him you're in love with Ryan......" Mrs. Zhou said, suddenly paused, the corners of her mouth crooked, revealing a disdainful expression, and said, "Didn't you keep shouting Ryan's name in your dream just now?" …… Hmph, after all, you're just a woman who doesn't care about your feelings and sways from side to side, so you have to completely make Ruikang disgusted with you, let him see your true colors, and leave you completely! ”

Mei Ruojun's face turned even paler, she didn't have any rebuttals, her mother-in-law was not wrong, she herself was indeed wandering among the two brothers Ruian Ruikang, she sat down on the ground limply, woe, ruthless, shameless, disgusting, inattentive, swaying from side to side, true face...... Yes, he is such a Chao Qin twilight, he is not only greedy for Ruikang's enthusiasm, but also wants to have Ruian's warm vein, he is not worthy of Ruikang's love with Rui'an.

Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "Mei Ruojun, if you really have some true feelings for Ruikang, you should know how to protect his reputation and fulfill his happiness." Although he withdrew from the Cheng family's marriage this time, he will get married sooner or later. With that, he stood up and walked out slowly.

After her mother-in-law left, Mei Ruojun fell to the ground, her head was blank, only her mother-in-law's disdainful gaze and those harsh adjectives buzzed in her head.
