Chapter Twenty-Seven: The True Zihao
Luo Xicheng's body gradually improved under Ding Ning's careful care. But before the two of them had a little time to breathe, something new came to the door again.
Since Lin Zihao expected Ding Ning's true identity, he began to pay attention to Ding Ning's every move. A few days ago, he knew that Ding Ning suddenly fell ill, and he was very anxious, and he couldn't rush to Ding Ning's residence immediately, but his reason finally persuaded him to wait for the opportunity and not act rashly. Now that he has received news that Luo Xicheng is sick, he can no longer convince himself to endure it. Before, he forbears because he still thinks about Ding Ning's reputation and doesn't dare to act rudely, this will be Luo Xicheng, he just took the opportunity to see Luo Xicheng to see if Ding Ning is really as good as the news returned.
Lin Zihao thought for a moment, and after everything was thorough, he set off towards Luo's Mansion. When he arrived at Luo's Mansion, he bluntly said that he had come to visit Luo Xicheng. The family Ding explained with a blank face that his master was all right and not sick, but Lin Zihao smiled and said:
"It's better for me to meet your wife first, and when I see my wife, I will naturally know if Luo Xicheng is really sick."
The family once again explained that his wife went out because of something, and it was inconvenient to see guests, but Lin Zihao said again:
"It's inconvenient for the old to see guests, and it's inconvenient for the lady to meet customers, but the doctor runs into this courtyard twice a day. Are you telling the truth? Go and tell your wife, I'll be waiting for her here. ”
Seeing that Lin Zihao was not easy to handle, the family could only go to the inner courtyard to invite his wife out.
In the wedding garden, Ding Ning saw a puffing face, and the family full of injustices knew that something was going on in the front yard that made people angry. Ding Ning didn't take the initiative to ask, but still calmly played chess with Luo Xicheng. Luo Xicheng also didn't mean to pay attention to the emotions of the family, because as long as it wasn't the news reported by Qi Ming, it wasn't important news.
That family member is also loyal and honest, he didn't add any oil and vinegar, and made the truth of the matter clear. After listening to the report of the family, Luo Xicheng's displeasure was overflowing, and he immediately got up and wanted to go to the front yard. Ding Ning saw that he looked angry, and immediately got up to stop him and said:
"Are you sick and confused? Why are you, the calmest on weekdays, impulsive at this time? Could it be that you are afraid of my game? Want to escape? ”
"You don't have to use the agitation method on me, he is naturally here for you. I don't want you to see him, and I don't want him to come back and pester you. I want to protect you. ”
Luo Xicheng's words came from the bottom of his heart, and Ding Ning also listened to it in his heart. It's just that Ding Ning doesn't have time to talk to Luo Xicheng about the relationship between them now. Ding Ning said bluntly:
"Since Lin Zihao is coming for me, then I'd better go, otherwise he won't give up, right? I can handle it, don't worry. ”
Luo Xicheng saw Ding Ning's seriousness and knew that Ding Ning had made up his mind, so he could only smile and smile:
"Then you pay attention not to let him hurt you, and don't force yourself if you can't deal with it. Let Meng Li go with you, if you can't cope with it, Meng Li can help you. ”
When Ding Ning heard Luo Xicheng's words, a warm feeling appeared in his heart, and a warm and intoxicating smile appeared on his face that Luo Xicheng had only been able to see recently. Ding Ning said to Luo Xicheng in a soft voice:
"Meng Li should leave the two of you to take care of you, you don't have to worry about me, where is this? This is Luo's Mansion, and he doesn't dare to do anything to me in his own mansion, and even less in your territory. ”
Luo Xicheng listened to Ding Ning's words and thought about it carefully, too, what kind of person is he Luo Xicheng, who has both fame and fame, and wealth, who dares to bully his woman. So, Luo Xicheng nodded reassuringly and let Ding Ning leave.
Lin Zihao waited in the front yard until Ding Ning came in, and when he really saw Ding Ning come in, he was a little relieved, he finally saw his wife again. Ding Ning broke the silence first and said:
"I heard that the people in the house said that Lin Gongzi came to visit my husband? Presumably Lin Gongzi made a mistake, my husband is now in the shop, not in the house. ”
Lin Zihao heard Ding Ning call Luo Xicheng a "husband" in his mouth, and his heart was full of jealousy, this is obviously his wife, why did he become Luo Xicheng's wife inexplicably, thinking of this, Luo Xicheng said:
"I saw Dr. Guan running to Luo's Mansion every day, and I thought Luo Xicheng was sick. Not really. ”
"Lin Gongzi really came here today to see my husband? Or is there something else? After all, you can only let people stare at my Luo Mansion every day to see Guan Gongzi go back and forth to my Luo Mansion twice a day. ”
Ding Ning went straight to the point, Lin Zihao was surprised, but at the same time, he also sincerely wanted to recapture Ding Ning, such a glorious woman, who didn't want it, let alone his Lin Zihao.
Lin Zihao glanced at the family and the girl beside Ding Ning. Ding Ning knew that Lin Zihao meant that he just wanted to talk to her alone. So he got straight to the point:
"Lin Gongzi, please go back, there is nothing to talk about between us, thank you for your concern for my husband, I will tell you on my behalf, but I also ask Lin Gongzi to move forward step by step in the future, so standing still will only make people sad, sad and sad."
Before Lin Zihao had time to stay, Ding Ning had already bypassed the screen and left, and Lin Zihao's outstretched hand only grabbed a ball of air that was stirred up by his five fingers. The moment he withdrew his hand, the family of Luofu obviously saw Lin Zihao's clenched fists bulging with green tendons, and his eyes showed regret that he had lost his beloved but was powerless to recover.
Lin Zihao really wanted to tell Ding Ning that he had guessed the truth, he really wanted to tell Ding Ning that he was willing to take her away, and he wanted to tell Ding Ning that no matter what happened, he could protect her and tell her not to be afraid. But all this became worthless the moment Ding Ning turned to leave, because Ding Ning's turn had already told him all the answers.
On the way back to Lin's house, Lin Zihao met his friend Xu Mo. Seeing Lin Zihao's ghost-like appearance, Xu Mo couldn't help but put down what he was about to do, sent Lin Zihao home, and accompanied Lin Zihao in the Lin Mansion to get drunk. Lin Zihao cried bitterly in front of Xu Mo, and finally roared angrily:
"Xu Mo, why me, why ...... I have followed the teachings of my ancestors since I was a child, and I have never disobeyed my parents, and now I just want to have a single-minded person who is white-headed with me, so why can't I have any of them? I didn't have time to love, and God always took away the person I wanted to love for various reasons. Heaven...... You are unjust! ”
Xu Mo saw that Lin Zihao was getting more and more excited, and immediately stopped and comforted:
"What you have endured now will become the best way to repay you in the future, and I believe that you will definitely wait for the person who will join hands with you for a lifetime and have a white head for a lifetime. You have enlightened parents, unlike me, and now the two in the room are fighting every day, and I have to go around in the middle in order to maintain the reputation of the family, aren't you tired? Don't I just want a single-minded person? It's fate like this, I can't get the single-minded person I want, so I can only live a good life with them. ”
Lin Zihao sat on the steps in front of the room and took a sip of spirits, lowered his headache and cried. Xu Mo understood the pain in Lin Zihao's heart, so he cried and vented with his temperament.
Xu Mo accompanied Lin Zihao to toss until early in the morning, until Lin Zihao was drunk, tired, and fell asleep, and Xu Mo left alone.
Here, Ding Ning couldn't have a hard night. She is not a stupid person, why Lin Zihao came, she knows very well, she doesn't want to listen to Lin Zihao just because what she wants now has nothing to do with what Lin Zihao will say to her, she doesn't want to be mediocre and wants to achieve her goal simply, but this makes her unable to let go of Lin Zihao's last lost look.
Luo Xicheng was still asleep, so Ding Ning quietly got up and looked in the yard for Huan Huan, who was cleaning up the garden, and said:
"Huanxi, you come, I ask you something."
Huanxi obediently walked to Ding Ning with a broom, Ding Ning looked at Huanxi and asked:
"How much do you know about Lin Zihao Lin Gongzi? Didn't you stay in the Lin Mansion before? ”
"Mrs. Hui, I have been waiting in Lin Gongzi's study since the death of the girl I served before. Although I can't talk about understanding, I have heard a lot of things about him from other people in the house. Huanxi smiled.
"Then you can tell me about Lin Gongzi, you know, you can say anything." Ding Ning said.
"Lin Gongzi is a good person, and it is rumored that he is a big villain, but those are all rumors. Every festival, Lin Gongzi will open his granary to give porridge and rice, although I have not participated, but everyone in the house knows," relieved himself, and continued happily, "Lin Gongzi is also a person with a bumpy love road. Back then, his first wife was a well-known beauty in the city, and he was not afraid that his wife would be angry, as far as the beauty they described was better than that of his wife. It's just a thin life, before getting married, this girl was arrested and defiled her body, this girl was unwilling to marry an unclean body, but the mother's family tied up this girl for the sake of her own family, and forced her to marry, as a result, the girl married the night she felt ashamed of Lin Gongzi and hanged herself, Lin Gongzi learned of this and finally found the person who abused his wife, hacked him to death, and the Lin family also suffered a lawsuit for this matter, but later the people in the Lin family's imperial city came to calm down the matter," Huanxi said here, and a feeling of discomfort rose in his heart, She paused for a moment, took a breath, and then continued, "The second lady was married safely, but this lady had a heart disease. When the second lady was waiting for Lin Gongzi alone in the marriage room, she didn't know who made a grimace and put it at the door to scare the bride to play, and the bride was really scared to death. I heard from the people in the house that this time Lin Gongzi also had trouble sleeping and eating for a while, and blamed himself for harming his wife. ”
"And what about the third lady?" Ding Ning wanted to know how Baili Wanting appeared in the Lin Mansion instead of herself.
"My girl and lady look exactly the same, and you are as proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as you are, and you are as healthy as you. If I hadn't fallen asleep that night, my girl wouldn't have died. My girl must have noticed something wrong and walked out of the room to see it, so she would have lost her footing or been pushed down the lotus pond and drowned. It's all my fault. It's my fault alone, but my girl is dead, and Lin Gongzi doesn't know what to be rumored to be. The look on Huanxi's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't want to continue.
Ding Ning saw the joyful and uncomfortable look, she took her hand, and wanted to tell this little girl that she was her girl, so she wanted to hug her tightly and say sorry to her, and tell her that she had been alive and healthy, but in the end she still spoke:
"Don't be sad if you are happy, since your young lady is a little similar to me, and now we are masters and servants, I think this is also the best arrangement she has made in heaven. You go and get busy with you, I won't let you say it, look at you, the more you talk, the more sad you become, go eat something delicious and change your mood. ”
Huanxi listened to his wife's words and walked towards the room. Ding Ning sat alone in the garden, she began to understand why Lin Zihao was so persistent in longing that she was Ding Ning, some time ago, at the banquet in the Lin Mansion, Lin Zihao's words echoed in her mind again-
If you were her and you were still alive, I think I would have confidence in my future marriage.
