Seeing that it was summer, Jinling slowly became hot, but just catching up with such a wartime, it made people's breathing tight. Since Cheng Jinyu's death, the second aunt's health has been getting worse day by day, and her health has deteriorated, and even the doctor has issued a notice to prepare as soon as possible.

Now that Su Fangfei is in charge of the house, this matter has fallen on her head, she has too many disagreements with her second aunt on weekdays, and she knows that she has many unsightly things, so it is also perfunctory to deal with it, ask a few people to buy some things, and then report to Su Shengbai, and then take it seriously.

Su Shengbai ignored family matters, but now that he was worried about the war situation, he became more and more calm, just reading and writing every day, teasing birds and fishing.

After hearing about the second aunt's affairs, I couldn't avoid it, and went to Daishan early in the morning to escape the summer.

These days, Han Wan'er has been coldly eyed, seeing that he has a chance, he is no longer willing to do so, so he still dresses up carefully, the car has been waiting outside the yard, and the maid in the second room hurriedly ran over, saying that the second aunt wants to see her, she thinks that the second aunt has now reached the point where the lamp has run out, so she looked to see her.

After changing the cheongsam, he asked the car to wait at the gate, and followed the maid to the second room. Originally, in the summer, the Overseer's Mansion had poured well water everywhere to escape the heat, and it was hot and windy, but it was quite cool to walk. A few new trees were planted in the back garden, and many bonsai were placed in the middle, which were clustered in the moonlight.

Han Guaner was wearing a cheongsam with vermilion gray light gauze and a pair of small leather shoes on his feet, and he walked with a clattering sound. Until the courtyard of the second room, I saw that there were only two old mothers who were busy going in and out, compared to the previous maids, but now it is extremely desolate. She didn't feel very good in her intuition, and couldn't help but speed up her steps, an old mother surnamed Wang sighed and lifted the bead curtain and led Han Waner in, she said: "Now that the second aunt's wife is gone, the people in each room see that the handsome don't care about her, so they rush to come over and ridicule her. Not a day idle...... In the past, even if he was not in good spirits, there was nothing wrong with his body, but now the second young master said goodbye, and the second young grandmother went again...... I saw that the second wife was useless. ”

Han Wan'er thought that the second aunt knew too much, and Su Shengbai would not keep her, but when she thought about it carefully, she had a sense of pity, thinking about how beautiful she was yesterday, but now she ended up like this, thinking about it, she thought of herself, and only felt a chill down her spine.

There was sandalwood burning in the hall, but the smell was strong and straight to her nose, Han Wan'er took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, took two steps inside, and a strong stench came from her nose, which made her can't help but gause.

Wang Ma looked inside, and then said: "Don't be surprised by Mrs. Seven, there is no one around Mrs. Seven, we can't take care of it, and things like this are not once or twice." ”

Han Wan'er saw that all the furnishings in the room were gone, so he asked, "What about the things here?" ”

Seeing another old mother enter the house with a basin of water, she glanced at Han Wan'er expressionlessly before entering the bedroom.

Seeing this, Wang Ma smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Mrs. Chen, Mother Chen used to be like this, silent." ”

Han Wan'er didn't take it seriously, she just walked in slowly, she thought that her second aunt was too in charge in the past, even if everything was done properly, she would end up where she is today...... It's really embarrassing.

Wang's mother is a talker, and she has complained a lot one after another. Han Guan'er had to listen without a match, but fortunately, Chen's mother quickly brought the basin out, and Han Guan'er saw that there were dirty clothes in the basin, mixed with stench, and disgusting for no reason, but he still walked in quickly.

There were spices burning in the room, there was no unpleasant smell, the second aunt* was lying quietly on the bed, already thin and only skin and bones remained, even the skin became wrinkled, a pair of eyes looked straight at the top of the head, and she was crying.

Han Wan'er had long expected her situation, and originally thought that with Su Qingyang here, even if she was poor, she would be able to guarantee her life, who would have thought that she would live like this.

The second aunt turned her head and saw that it was her, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come here." ”

Han Wan'er saw her like this, so she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, the lights were on in the room, the window was facing south, half of the carved flowers penetrated the moonlight, and fell on the second aunt's body with a sprinkle of water, she tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth, compared to the sharp and mean before, now it seems to be calmly mixed with the helplessness of seeing through the world.

After a while, she said: "In the past, I always felt that living in this world was to fight, to fight for money and jewelry, to fight for the favor of the old man, to fight for the power of my son, and to fight for myself for power...... Trapped in this circle and unable to get out, and now that I have reached this point, do I feel that there is anything to fight for? What's the point of arguing? It's just a void. ”

When Han Wan'er heard this, he felt vigilant in his heart, but he couldn't say anything at this moment. The second aunt looked at her too much, and said, "I'm leaving, I don't want to leave with a lot of secrets, it's too heavy, and this is also my sin." ”

She cried out loud, "I have done many shady things in my life, and I have seen many shady things, I remember that at that time, the old man wanted Lin Peizhi with all his heart, and in order to instigate Shen Pingsheng, he secretly sent someone to kill your mother." ”

Han Wan'er almost subconsciously stood up, "What did you say?!" ”

The second aunt smiled, "You know what kind of person he is, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, what can't he do?" To be honest, when he married you, I thought the world was impermanent, and it was really ridiculous. ”

Han Wan'er stood there in a daze, as if he had been hit at this moment, but he was depressed, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The second aunt said: "He did a lot of things in order to break up Shen Pingsheng and Lin Peizhi at that time, don't mention it, originally I thought he had a little heart, but until Shen Pingsheng collected evidence of his crime of reselling arms and opium, he wanted to get rid of all the people who knew about it, originally your father didn't tell Lin Peizhi about it, but the old guy was too suspicious, I bought Yunqing and poisoned Lin Peizhi in order to please him." ”

She sneered, "You know what? When I told him that Lin Peizhi was dead, he even pretended not to approve of it, and kept telling me that Lin Peizhi was her life-saving benefactor, and at that time I saw how terrible he was. ”

She paused, and at this moment it seemed to be very happy, "The second child came to see me when he left, and I told him all the old things, not for revenge, but just to let him recognize clearly, don't be used by the old man, child, I tell you this, it's also the truth, I'm a person who is about to die is not afraid of anything, just say it, it's better than keeping you in the dark and not being happy for the rest of your life." ”

Han Wan'er seemed to have just reacted, but she just looked at her sneeringly, and only turned around and left without saying a word for a long time, and vaguely saw Wang Ma coming over, her mind was mixed, and she didn't hear what she said clearly, just walked out step by step, raised her hand and lifted the bead curtain, and there was a sound in her ears, she remembered that when she was a child, she obviously had no impression of her mother, but she didn't like the woman called Lin Peizhi very much, although she was gentle and generous, and cared for her meticulously.

But for the sake of hatred, she even isolated her childhood, thinking about it in a trance, but remembered a lot of things when she was a child, she and Shen Qiangrose, two naughty ghosts, always got together to play, in fact, she always held back the bad in her heart, and always pretended to be pitiful and bullied her.

Every time Lin Peizhi saw it, she smiled. Shen Qiangrose never bothered with her, always ran ahead of her, and then turned around and called, "Sister, sister, hurry up!" ”

It's been too far away, and now that I think about it, I can't help but feel nervous. Standing under the lamp on the porch, the electric light was extremely bright, and her shadow was long, and on that side was the shadow of the tree, and the night breeze blew lightly on her body, and she was cold at this time, but the wind was very warm, and her hand tightly grasped the broken tassel of the shawl on her body, the tassel was soft and slippery, and it was soft and smooth to the touch, with a slight itch.

It's like the first time she shrunk in Lin Peizhi's arms, obviously her arms are warm and fragrant, her singing voice is soft and soft, and the breath is tickling in her hair, but at that time she felt good, but it took so long to find out.

The eyes gradually blurred, it turned out that there were tears slipping down, and the hot ones fell on the back of her hands, and she was shivering all over. Raising her head slightly, she saw the bright moon hanging high, as if dyed with silver frost, looking down at her coldly, the stars flickered, and she suddenly realized that she hadn't looked up at the stars for a long time.

I couldn't help but sigh, it's really been too long.

Walking out slowly, I heard a cry behind me, and someone called, "Second wife, wake up." ”

She didn't look back, but walked slowly forward, the night wind blowing in her ears, and the crying bursts, becoming more and more desolate. She seemed to be annoyed at this moment, stretched out the back of her hand and wiped the makeup on her face hard, and the bright red honey rubbed her hand messily, and she didn't seem to hear it, but the tears crackled, and the back of her hand was wet unconsciously.

There was a car waiting outside, and there were many people rushing over, she was not interested in looking, and when she saw the attendant open the car door, she sat on it, wiped her face with the back of her hand, and smiled indifferently when she saw He Chaoming looking at herself, "It's too undignified to see the old man like this, please give me some more time." ”

He Chaoming saw that her face was blue and red, so he smiled, "This is nature. He turned to the driver and said, "Go back to Mrs. Seven's yard." ”

Han Wan'er looked out the window, the night was getting thicker and deeper, reflecting in the huge mansion, and it seemed more and more empty. But there were obviously people on the other side who had entered the yard, but it was so noisy that people couldn't tell the difference.

She sighed slightly, silently thinking, this is probably the situation after death.
