Chapter Seventy-Two: A Conspiracy
Mrs. Zhou grabbed her hand, raised her tear-stained face, and said sadly: "Ruojun, tell me first, do you and Ruikang have, do you?" Have you two done the ceremony of husband and wife? Her eyes were full of anxiety, but she was trying her best to restrain herself.
Ruojun's face suddenly turned red, her ears were hot, thinking of the scene in the morning, she didn't know if this was a husband and wife gift, she lowered her head, bit her lip, and pinched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands.
"Tell my mother, you'...... You...... Or is it not complete? Mrs. Zhou asked softly with wide eyes, her tone very urgent.
Ruojun didn't know why Mrs. Zhou asked herself like this, she felt very abrupt, embarrassed, and shy, but she still blushed and nodded softly.
Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes, swallowed, the big stone in her heart fell to the ground, took Ruojun's hand, and said: "Ryan is very bad, he doesn't even paint now, he just sits there every day, he doesn't eat food, he doesn't drink water, he is dying......." Mrs. Zhou couldn't help crying again: "Ruojun, my mother knows that you are not a ruthless and unrighteous child, you two are husband and wife after all, I can see that you have feelings for Ryan, don't you?" ”
"So I came today to beg you to go back and see him, to persuade him, to comfort him."
"Ryan, Ryan......" Ruojun's heart seemed to be held tightly, she spasmed a little in pain, and frowned tightly, she wanted to go back to see him immediately, but as soon as she thought of the confinement of the Zhou family's compound and Ruikang's expectations, she hesitated, frowned and bowed her head silently.
Seeing her hesitation, Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears, sighed and said: "Ruojun, my mother knows that you and Ruikang love each other deeply, and my mother is also a woman, how can I not understand, although your father and I are resolutely opposed to indecent things in the family, but Ruikang is also my son after all, if you can grow old together, he can be happy, and I am also comforted in my heart." ”
"Really?" Ruojun raised her eyelashes and looked at Mrs. Zhou with some surprise.
"Yes. Ahem, after all these days, I have also figured it out, instead of wronging you and Ryan, why can't you and Ryan be together? You're the same age, you look matched, and you love each other dearly. Isn't it also a good story? ”
"Mother! Are you sure? Are you sure? Ruojun simply didn't believe in your ears, opened his eyes wide, stood up from the chair excitedly, knelt down with a poof, knocked his head on the ground three times, the tip of his nose was sore, and his eyes were already hazy, Mrs. Zhou finally agreed, finally agreed, if Ruikang was here now, he would definitely be like himself, grateful to Mrs. Zhou for kowtowing.
"Mother, do you know how important your words are to me and Ruikang? You are simply our savior, with your nod, Ruikang will not be so painful and self-reproachful. She laughed and kowtowed while crying.
A bitter smile appeared on Mrs. Zhou's face, helped her up from the ground, and said, "Yes, yes, I agreed, but, Ruojun, can you also promise me to go back and see Ryan?" Now only you can save him, only you can let him eat and let him live. Don't worry, I will help you persuade him slowly, and I will rearrange a marriage for him. ”
"I know that you love Ruikang in your heart, but after all, you and Ruian are husband and wife, can you reluctantly ...... it?"
"Okay, mother, I'll go back with you." Ruojun happily rushed to say, "I'll leave a note for Ruikang." ”
As he spoke, he excitedly picked up a pen and paper and wrote: "Kang: My mother has agreed to our matter, and I am happy. Ryan didn't drink or eat, it's my sin, and I'll go back to appease me. Come home late, don't worry. Jun Zi"
After writing, put the note under the mirror. He straightened his hair a little in the mirror and said to Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, let's go." Mrs. Zhou had already wiped away her tears at this time, took a deep look at Mei Ruojun, nodded, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
When I got downstairs, Ruojun saw Yanxi standing on the side of the street, Mrs. Chen looked at Mrs. Zhou and Ruojun strangely, Ruojun said apologetically: "I'm sorry Mrs. Chen, I can't cook for you today, I want to go back, and when I come back, I will cook dinner for you." He smiled and followed Mrs. Zhou into the rickshaw.
Mrs. Zhou gave Yanxi a look and said, "Yanxi, go to the small attic to see what is still missing, and go and add it." ”
Saying that, the two rickshaws ran and ran towards the Zhou family's compound.
//
Mei Ruojun seems to have an inexplicable fate with this Zhou family compound, and it seems that she can't get rid of the gorgeous cage of the Zhou family compound.
After following Mrs. Zhou back to the Zhou family compound, Mei Ruojun trotted anxiously to the study, she saw him, only more than ten days, he had already described haggard, full of stubble, sitting on the edge of the bed with a sluggish expression, a pair of eyes staring straight out of the window, empty and godless, although there was no expression, but the whole body exuded a desperate atmosphere, his left face would still twitch mechanically from time to time, he was still not beautiful, his life was fragile and sensitive.
Ruojun rushed up, knelt at his feet, and cried: "Ryan, Ryan, I'm back, look at me, look at me." She took his hands and put them on her face, but he still sat like a statue.
She was so sad, so sad, what did she do? Where have you learned the three and four virtues you have learned since childhood? Why didn't the scriptures you copied purify your soul at all? She cupped his face and made him look at herself, shouting, "Ryan, I'm Ruojun, look at me." I'm right there with you. ”
His pupils slowly contracted, his eyes gradually focused on her face, he looked at her for a long time, as if to recognize the authenticity of the delicate face in front of him, slowly, slowly, after more than ten minutes, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, he raised his hand and carefully touched her blown-up skin, her body temperature passed into his palm, and a sad smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Ruojun...... " He called her in a hoarse voice, and she nodded desperately, "It's me, it's me." I'm sorry Ryan, I'm sorry. ”
"No......," he said, his voice trembling. Me, I have a gift for you. As he spoke, he took his crutches, supported his thin body, stood up, and Ruojun helped him to the desk.
Ryan trembled his hands, opened the drawer, took out a large envelope, put it on the table, looked at Ruojun, smiled and said, "Open it and take a look." But he collapsed in a chair because he had not eaten for many days.
Ruojun opened the envelope and took out a few pieces of stationery, the first page reads "Divorce Consent Form", she doesn't need to look at the words behind it, just these five words have made her tremble all over her body, and she threw the "consent form" back on the desk without thinking.
Ryan looked at her with some puzzlement, and whispered, "I don't know if it's right, I looked through a lot of newspapers and magazines to find two proofs." Why are you shaking? ”
Ryan ...... You...... You...... Is it serious? Her lips were shaking.
"Of course, I think it's the best gift I can give you."
"You...... Don't want me anymore? She looked at him.
He looked at her deeply, lay down in his chair, closed his eyes, and said no more.
The two were silent in front of this "divorce consent letter". The atmosphere in the study condensed, and after a long time, Ryan opened his eyes and said, "Ruojun, I'...... Love you, and love Rekon. This is my gift to both of you. As long as you live happily, I will be satisfied. ”
"Ryan, I owe you so much, I owe you a lot to Ruikang, and I owe you both ......" She suppressed the feelings she felt for him in her heart, because she couldn't continue to linger between the two brothers, she had to make a choice.
Ryan shook his head, took out another scroll of paintings from the drawer, and said, "There's another painting in there." It's my wedding gift to you. ”
Mei Ruojun opened it and saw that it was actually the "Butterfly Love Flower", she couldn't help but cover her mouth, shook her head and said, "This is our painting." ”
"No, I'm neither a flower nor a butterfly, you and Ruikang are flowers and butterflies. I have painted this painting many times and this one is the one I am most satisfied with. He said with a smile.
"Ryan......" she crouched down on his lap and cried bitterly.
Ryan stroked her hair lightly and stopped talking.
After a while, Cuiliu knocked on the door and came in, saying, "The eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, the wife ordered that a meal be arranged in the chrysanthemum garden, and said that you should have a good meal, even if it is the end of fate, it is better to gather and disperse." ”
Ryan nodded and said, "Got it, we'll go over." ”
After Cuiliu left, Ryan whispered, "Ruojun, I'm hungry too, let's have a meal together." ”
Ruojun nodded, helped Ruian slowly out of the study, this is the first time in more than ten days that Ruian walked out of the study, the ground is thick with snow, the Zhou family compound is still so gorgeous, mountains and trees and trees, the path is winding, the two came to the chrysanthemum garden, the table has been placed with rich wine and food, Cuiliu poured a glass of wine for the two of them on the side, and added some carbon to the brazier, then retreated, closed the door.
This was the first time that the two of them had eaten together, and Ruojun didn't know what to say, she only felt ashamed and guilty, and bowed her head and said nothing.
Ryan picked up his glass and said, "Come, let's have a drink." He raised his cup, Ruojun also took the cup with a sigh, and the two of them touched the glass lightly, and they both drank it all.
"We don't even think we've even drunk a combination of wine." He smiled bitterly and took a piece of chicken to Ruojun. He put down his chopsticks again, poured himself wine, and drank another glass with his head up.
He drank three or four glasses in a row, and Ruojun hurriedly pressed his glass and said, "Ryan, don't drink so hard, you will get drunk." ”
Ryan nodded, but the drunkenness had slowly come up, he pointed to the left side of his twitching face, looked at her and whispered, "I look ugly when I eat, so I pushed you out of the door that time, and threw the basket out as well, and then I practiced for a long, long time before I dared to eat with you." ”
"I don't dislike you."
"But I hate myself." He smiled wryly: "Why is this happening? You should have belonged to Ruikang in the first place, how did you marry me? I really don't understand why God is playing such a trick on the three of us.
