Ji Tianjiao was relieved a lot when he heard that Liu still had this unwilling spirit, and hurriedly stroked Liu's back and persuaded: "Uncle, don't worry, as long as you are good, others will not succeed!" My cousin and I have to count on you! ”

Liu Shishun got up, grabbed Ji Tianjiao's hand tightly, and said: "Good boy, I always thought you were a fool in the past, but now it seems that I misunderstood, you are a good child, you can rest assured, my aunt will definitely get better, and I will not let you and Brother Ning end up alone." ”

Mama He saw the two talking on the side, so she said: "The slave will let people go out to inquire after a while, so that the wife can know better." ”

Liu Shi nodded and said, "That's right, inquire first and understand, then we can find a way." Seeing this, Ji Tianjiao finally felt a little more steady. She wanted to see what happened to Ruan Ning, but remembered that people said that it was not appropriate to meet before the wedding, otherwise it would be unlucky, so she let go of this idea. I talked with Liu for a while before saying goodbye and going back.

After a few days, Mama He quietly returned to the main courtyard from the corner gate behind Ruan's mansion under the noon sun. When Liu saw her come back, he immediately struggled to sit up and asked, "How?" ”

"Meet, they meet!"

Liu's heart stabbed like a pinprick, itching welled up in his throat, and he coughed one after another, coughing so red that his eyes were red and he bent over. Mama He went to pat her back in a panic, but Liu's cough was too violent, and he coughed up a little bit of blood. Mama He was frightened enough, and hurriedly called someone to come. Liu Shi stopped her and said, "I'...... There's a way......"

Mama He couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and said, "What does Mrs. care about at this time, your body is important, and the slave will let Lang Zhong come over to see you!" ”

Liu insisted: "Mama, I'm fine, you ...... Listen to me. Mama He nodded worriedly, knelt on the edge of the bed, and leaned over to listen to her. Liu said: "You will go to the master, and you will say that I can't do it...... Let him come to me, I have something to say to her. ”

Mama He looked puzzled: "What does this mean, madam?" ”

"You don't have to ask, go quickly."

Mama He had no choice but to send the little girl to decoct the medicine for Liu's, and she walked quickly to the front yard to find Ruan Yansheng. Ruan Yansheng saw Mama He's heart was stagnant, and then he said with a little emptiness: "What's the matter, what's the matter with her?" ”

Mama He knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Master, go and see your wife, I'm afraid that my wife will not work......"

Ruan Yansheng was shocked when he heard this sentence 'no more'. It's been a husband and wife for many years, and he thought of this day, but he still couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, and walked towards the main courtyard with his feet raised. As soon as I entered the yard, a strong smell of medicine came out, and there were little girls busy inside and out. Mama He ran inside to see Liu's first.

Ruan Yansheng's footsteps paused at the door, and then strode into the room.

It's only been a long time, Liu's hair has turned half gray, and his face is sallow and dull, Ruan Yansheng can't help but think of Liu Ling, so young and delicate, looking at her, Ruan Yansheng feels that he is also getting younger, as if he has returned to the age of twenty ten years ago.

Liu sat up tremblingly and sat up according to Mama He's strength, leaning on the thick brocade mat, looking more and more sick. The pale lips opened slightly, but he didn't seem to have much strength to speak, and it took a long time to make a voice and say, "You...... Closer ......"

Ruan Yansheng came back to his senses from his imagination, his steps were sluggish, and he slowly walked in front of Liu, Mama He moved the chair and put it down, Ruan Yansheng sat on it, faced Liu and said, "You...... Are you okay? ”

Liu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm ...... I couldn't get better...... So, at this point...... I came to talk to you...... When I got down there, it was also a thought......"

No one likes such a bleakness, Ruan Yansheng was sore by what she said, and comforted: "Don't think nonsense, haven't you been able to eat something in the past few days?" This is a sign that your body is recovering...... I'll get better soon......"

The corners of Liu's mouth moved slightly, and he laughed at himself: "I look like this, what are I doing when I'm still fine...... The only one who can't let go is Brother Ning. Wait until I'm gone...... Don't snub him, he's the eldest son you've loved since childhood......"

Ruan Yansheng said: "This is nature, why should you worry. ”

Liu shook his head and said, "I'm leaving, you will definitely continue the strings, and when you have children again, will you still care about Brother Ning?" She saw that Ruan Yansheng's face was a little guilty, and said: "In the past few days, I heard that someone has already pulled the strings for you, and I don't blame you for ......."

Ruan Yansheng heard her say that she already knew, and her heart shrugged, and then she was a little stunned when she said that she was not to blame.

Seeing this, Liu said: "You don't have to hide it from me, and you don't have to feel guilty. I knew it was inevitable, and it was going to happen sooner or later. Therefore, I hope that this day can come early, so that I can also know what kind of character the master is going to marry in the future, and whether he can treat my brother Ning well......"

Ruan Yansheng was ashamed and guilty when he heard what she said, and said in a low voice: "There is such a person, she ...... It seems to be a very gentle and kind character, but now what do you do, you will definitely be fine......"

Liu suddenly felt nauseous in his heart, since they had all met, what was the need to pretend. She suppressed the anger in her heart, slowly raised her hand, grabbed Ruan Yansheng, and said, "My own body, I know that I don't have a few days to live." Before that, I have a wish, I hope you can fulfill my ...... for the sake of our husband and wife for many years."

Ruan Yansheng saw her so decrepit, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, and said: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." ”

"I want to see her......"

Ruan Yansheng was stunned when he heard this: "She? Who? What are you talking about...... Liu Ling? ”

"It turns out that her name is Liu Ling? What a good name, it must be a beauty. ”

Ruan Yansheng's face turned red, and he was a little overwhelmed, and Liu said: "You don't have to blame yourself, I know that some opportunities will be lost if you miss them." Since there is such a suitable person at this time, I will only be happy for you. ”

Ruan Yansheng didn't expect her to say this, so she became more and more embarrassed, and muttered, "Ah Jie......"

Liu Shi looked at him and smiled, and said, "How many years have you not called my name like this......" She tightened her hand, held Ruan Yansheng's hand tightly, and said: "You promise me to let her come to see me, I just want to tell her to treat my brother Ning well, and I can leave with peace of mind...... Otherwise...... I can't ...... blind."

Ruan Yansheng didn't expect Liu to have such a request, his face was a little embarrassed, and Liu said: "I know that you haven't made up your mind yet, but if she comes to our house, the matter will be basically settled, and there will be no changes." You only ask her, will you fulfill the last wish of me, a dying man? ”

Ruan Yansheng looked at Liu in a daze, could it be that people are dying and their words are good, how could she think about it like this? On second thought, what she said made sense. If Liu Ling arrives at his mansion, there will probably be no more changes in this matter. Then he said, "I...... I'll give it a try......"

Seeing that he finally agreed, Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Then there was an itch in his throat, he coughed violently, and said with difficulty: "Quick, you go, don't get sick to you!" ”

Ruan Yansheng saw that she was sick like this, and thought about herself first, and remembered her love for many years more and more. Seeing that she coughed up blood, her complexion changed, and she immediately ordered someone to invite Langzhong. Mama He pushed him out of the inner room and persuaded: "Mrs. refuses to let you stay here, for fear that you will be sick and angry, and you will have to take care of the young master in the future, so the master will go back first." ”

Ruan Yansheng stared blankly at the door being closed, and stood stiff for a while before returning to the front yard.

The next day, Liu Ling followed the Huang family and got up to Ruan's house in the name of visiting Ruan Ning. On the carriage, Huang was a little uneasy and said, "Let's just go over like this, I always feel that something is wrong." If something is seen by someone, you and Ruan Yansheng will be criticized in the future. ”

His wife was seriously ill on the bed, and Ruan Yansheng decided on a candidate for the continuation of the string, which was really unsightly.

Liu Ling said: "Uncle and grandmother don't have to worry. I went to Beijing to visit you and your uncle and grandfather, and it's normal for you to go out and walk around. It is also reasonable for you to send some apologies from time to time when you go to Ruan's house. No one else knows what they can say. Besides, even if I and the Ruan family are married, there should be an opportunity to ......"

Huang's heart lit up and said, "You mean, your fate with Ruan Yansheng can be said to be provoked this time?" ”

Liu Ling smiled: "Or, when you visited the Liu family, the Liu family himself took a fancy to me...... I don't know? ”

Huang almost clapped his hands and praised: "You have a good idea, and there are not a few wives who choose a successor for their husbands before they die." In this way, even if Liu marries you immediately after his death, he will not leave any gossip. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Huang patted Liu Ling's hand, feeling more and more that she was delicate and clear. While speaking, he had already arrived at Ruan's mansion. The subordinates around the Huang family carried large bags of medicinal supplements and made a full gesture, looking like they came to make amends and make up for their mistakes.

Although Ruan Yansheng knew that they were coming, it was difficult for him to come forward, so he only asked his subordinates to lead them into the house of the Liu family in the main courtyard.

Indoors, Liu's cheeks collapsed, his lips withered, and he shrunk in the brocade quilt weakly, like a cluster of patterns, a stitch of broken embroidery. She heard the movement and slowly turned her head to look towards the door. Under the backlight, the two stood there, unable to see their faces clearly, but their figures were reflected more clearly. One of them was slightly petite, with no more than a small waist and legs, thin shoulders, and a weak willow posture.

Liu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, he was really a charming beauty.

Mama He reminded aloud on the side: "Madam, it is the wife of the Liu Mansion who has come to visit you with her niece and granddaughter. ”
