Mrs. Lin and Xiao Li did not go far.

Waving the maid, the two of them sat on a bamboo chair on the edge of the bamboo forest, quietly listening to the laughter over there. The moonlight casts a quiet clear.

After a long time, Mrs. Lin stood up and said softly: "It's cool, let's go back." ”

On such a night, Xiao Li's face was like this moonlight, white and unsightly. She took a deep breath, letting the cool air she swallowed soothe the indescribable anxiety in her heart before she nodded and said, "Go back." ”

Mrs. Lin looked at her, couldn't help but hold her hands, and comforted: "After so many years, you should always look away." Come to think of it, you still have a lot of days to pass in the future, will it just go on like this? ”

Xiao Li moved his mouth, as if he didn't know how to speak, so he was silent.

The gentle footsteps of the two people seemed to be heavy in such a quiet and cool night.

They walked out of the shadow of the bamboo forest, walked on the fallen leaves of the bluestone slab and made a crisp cracking sound of "creaking", walked into the rich fragrance of the golden cinnamon and walked out, and walked on the arched bridge outside Yumoxuan, and they could no longer hear the bright laughter of those girls.

"When I didn't marry into the Lin family, my mother told me ......" Xiao Li said leisurely: "A concubine who has nothing outstanding in all aspects marries into the Lin Mansion of the Qing noble family to fill the house, although it is a house, but the man is talented and in his prime...... Such a good family affair is definitely worthy of the gratitude of that concubine. And after the concubine got married, she didn't even have a concubine to have a room, and her life was so comfortable...... Shouldn't she be grateful to the Li family, especially herself, who made this family affair possible? ”

"Therefore, my mother thinks that if I marry the second master and be a daughter-in-law to my aunt, there will be no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem, and my life will definitely be good." Xiao Li's voice was dreamlike, making people unreal: "I know that in the eyes of outsiders, I am indeed doing well." How could I have a bad day? ”

"Look," Xiao Li lowered his head, spread his palms under the white moon, and murmured in a voice: "My children are both complete: my sister-in-law is several years older than my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law is also several years older than my sister-in-law, so it can't affect my children anything; My husband respected me very much, and always stood by my side in the back house, so the two aunts did not dare to be presumptuous at all, and gave me a reputation for being virtuous...... I'm never short of money and my husband is willing to pay for any of my expenses...... I ......"

After pausing for a while, Xiao Li raised his head, looked at Mrs. Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, look, where am I not doing well?" ”

Tears suddenly slipped silently down her pale and emaciated face.

Xiao Li quickly lowered his head and buried his face in the darkness.

Mrs. Lin was speechless, so she could only hand her a handkerchief.

Yes, where is Xiao Li's bad life? The mother-in-law above rarely makes things difficult, and the husband in the middle respects and the aunt is obedient; The children below are all complete, and the concubines and concubines are well-behaved...... If you have to say that Xiao Li's life is not good, then this big show of ladies can't find a few good ones!

But on the contrary, Xiao Li's heart was very bitter.

There is suffering that cannot be spoken, so it is even more bitter.

In such a quiet and cool night, after receiving Mrs. Lin's handkerchief and accidentally touching Mrs. Lin's warm and clean skin, Xiao Li's hands involuntarily followed the warmth, leaned on Mrs. Lin, and cried lowly.

Mrs. Lin gently patted her on the back, and again, and again.

After a long time, Xiao Li calmed down.

She wiped her face with a handkerchief, looked up, and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, you're right." The bitterness in Xiao Li's heart, the heaviness that didn't know how to come, seemed to flow out with tears, and at this time, her smile seemed so relaxed and thorough: "I should have figured it out a long time ago." For the second master...... Let him go. ”

Xiao Li will feel bitter, just because she loves Second Master Lin. It is not the love of another wife for her husband, as it is revealed, but the love of a woman for a man......

Because of love, so bitter.

Mrs. Lin originally wanted to say something about what a man should be, but thinking about her marriage, she closed her mouth and patted Xiao Li again to express her concern.

When they arrived at the intersection, Xiao Li proposed to go back, but Mrs. Lin did not keep her, but told her that she must have some dinner, at least some hot soup or porridge.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get better." Xiao Li smiled.

After sending off Xiao Li, Mrs. Lin's pace was even slower.

In the moonlight, her brows furrowed deeply, causing a few deep wrinkles to appear on her still-polished forehead.

She walked very slowly, slowly, until the moon in the sky was a little off, and she didn't go far.

"What are you thinking?"

A warm voice rang in my ears. Mrs. Lin didn't need to look up to know who the person next to her was. Instead of answering, she asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I haven't seen you go back for a long time, and I heard Mama Feng say that you didn't eat in Yumoxuan, nor did you go with your younger siblings, so I came out to look for it." Lin Shiqing smiled with a little warmth, and teased slightly: "Fortunately, I found it." According to your way of walking, if I don't look for it, I'm afraid that you won't be able to go back to the Pine Forest Courtyard at dawn. ”

took a big coat from the maid's hand and put it on for Mrs. Lin, Lin Shiqing said: "It's more exposed, it's been busy all day and you have an empty stomach, don't stay outside for a long time." What are the problems that we can't solve together? ”

Mrs. Lin stood still.

She grabbed the edge of the big hat with her hand, felt the warmth, turned her body slightly, and stood firmly in front of Lin Shiqing, looking at him carefully and seriously.

This man is her Feng Rongqing's man.

She was so lucky to meet him, fall in love with him, and become his wife. She was even more fortunate that he loved her too.

Yes.

Feng Rongqing believes that Lin Shiqing loves her, just like a man loves a woman, not the kind of love that a good husband is responsible for his wife. In other words, it was indeed not love at first, but only because of responsibility, but now, after more than ten years of knowing each other, it must be love.

Mrs. Lin didn't look at it for long, but after taking note of her husband's face, which seemed to be younger and more handsome under the moon, she looked away, turned around, and walked forward again.

"Zhao Shiyan is very good, his appearance, his literary and martial arts, and his achievements at a young age...... These can easily capture the heart of a young girl, especially if the girl happens to be his fiancée......"
