The sound of crackling rain outside, Song Shuyu shrunk into a ball, covering his face with his hands, biting the futon with his mouth, and sobbing quietly for a while.

In the dark, he was drenched in cold sweat, and his face felt like rain.

The cold rain kept falling, and with a snap of cold wind opening the window sash, Song Shuyu was startled, opened his eyes suddenly, and raised his head.

After being stunned for a long time, he didn't come back to his senses, and his eyes were dilated.

He dreamed of her again.

In fact, over the years, he has forgotten what she looks like.

But the words she had to say to him until she died were like thorny vines, and from time to time she would crawl out and stab him, making him snort over and over again.

She told him to be a cool person.

How can this sentence be remembered so clearly? Obviously he was so young at the time.

Song Shuyu's eyes seemed to be covered with mist, and he lay on the bed depressedly, and after a while, he couldn't stand the wind blowing, so he slowly got up again and walked to the window.

The first spring rain of the year was particularly heavy, and he reached out to feel the cold rain dripping on his skin.

It's cool. The corners of Song Shuyu's mouth seemed to be smiling, and his voice was soft and cold.

Slowly closing the sash, he sat back on the edge of the bed, and his sleepiness disappeared for a while, and he couldn't sleep anymore, so he lay on the bed with his legs curled up, his black eyes open faintly, hidden in the night.

-

On the second day, the steward called Shutan over again early in the morning.

"The second girl has arrived."

The steward bent his back and stood outside the ancestral hall and shouted in a low voice.

Lu Shiting turned his back to her, clasped his hands behind his back, and stood tall and silent in front of the tablets.

He was obviously emotional yesterday, and when he went back to kill himself, he would have calmed down by this time.

"Second girl." The steward stretched out his hand and bowed down to invite her in.

Shu Tan answered and walked into the ancestral hall, thinking about how to speak, but he didn't expect Lu Shiting to speak first.

"I have already discussed with Chang Yun that I will marry you on a good day this month."

He got straight to the point, but she had some complicated feelings.

Even if she wanted to throw her away, it would be too fast for her to be caught off guard.

Why?

In fact, she won't cause them trouble if she lives alone, so why rush to marry her off.

Lu Shiting glanced at her and snorted softly.

He had been rolling on the personnel field for so many years, and looking at her expression, he knew what she was thinking.

He approached her, his voice low.

"I didn't want to send you out in such a hurry, but ...... The Qin family who sent you back then made an accident a few days ago, and the whole family was beheaded. This year's situation is tense, and I don't want to be picked on at this juncture...... The traces left by the Qin family in the past had to be wiped clean......"

Shu Tan frowned and didn't say anything.

"But don't worry, no matter how you say it, it's also my nominal girl, and the people you want to marry won't be those who are unsightly - the son of the third son of Chu Lao in Xicheng, gentle and loyal, you can rest assured."

"It's just ......" Lu Shiting coughed and said: "That kid has a girl who serves him, and he has been with him for many years, Chu Laosan discussed with me, saying that after marrying you, he will also carry her into the concubine room." ”

Lu Shiting's expression was unnatural, so how could he just be carried in to be a concubine?

Everyone in Xicheng knows that the kid has sand in his eyes, and he can only see the girl, and he will drown in the belly of the girl every day.

Unconsciously he raised his eyes and looked at Shutan.

Shu Tan stood there motionless, and also raised his eyes to look at him, his expression was faint.

He was unhappy by her, touched his chin, walked in with her, and said, "What, you're not satisfied?" ”

Shu Tan lowered his eyes, "Friendship is compared to an epiphany, when the love is strong, it is fragrant and strong." But once the flowers are defeated, there will be thousands of delicate flowers waiting tomorrow, I understand this reason, and I will not be full of thinking that he only needs me alone, and he will accept the concubine, I am not dissatisfied. ”

Lu Shiting was stunned, nodded silently: "You understand......"

"But, sir......"

"You complained about me yesterday, and after I went back, I learned from the pain, and I didn't understand how I caused those troubles with my heart and eyes at that time."

"What do you mean?" Lu Shiting frowned, not figuring out what she wanted to say.

"The Qin family made a deal with you, and you agreed, and this is a seed. I just think...... No matter what poisonous fruit is produced later, this root still comes from you, no wonder others. ”

What she said was vague, the Qin family traded with him, and it was obviously facilitated by Lu Shiting, but he wanted to ask her to carry it all out.

It was as if someone had poked a hole in the net he knotted, and Lu Shiting was instantly annoyed and angry.

Back then, he was in a panic all day long, and his career was hopeless, so the Liu family came to the door and asked him to accept the two of them.

This incident made Qin Wenjun unhappy, the two of them had a gap in their hearts, and they couldn't make ends meet, and it happened that overnight, Qin Shilang found him.

Lu Shiting also clearly remembered that in the night, Qin Shilang looked high and contemptuous, like ice scarping his face in the cold winter.

Qin Shilang said to him: "I see that you will not be able to become a climate after all, I really don't know how Wenjun is blind......

Lu Shiting lowered his head and didn't say anything at that time, in fact, he didn't listen carefully to what Qin Shilang was saying.

What else can he say to him, mockery and humiliation, isn't that?

But to his surprise, Qin Shilang was silent for a while after a while of ridicule, and he later asked him: "Give you the official to do, give you money to spend, I don't care about you and Wenjun, do you do a favor for me?" ”

Lu Shiting didn't know why, he looked up at him, his gray beard was glowing silver in the night, "I, I have a female doll here that can't see the light...... You swapped her and your baby for me. ”

Lu Shiting was stunned: "Which baby do I have?" ”

Qin Shilang knocked his head hard with a black face: "How many babies do you have?" ”

Liu gave birth to a Chang Yun for him, and there was still one in his stomach that was not pregnant at this time......

Wen Jun had one in his stomach that was about to give birth, thinking of this, Lu Shiting looked up at Qin Shilang again.

Qin Shilang's expression was complicated, and he didn't look at him: "With a father like you, your child won't be able to become a climate, so it's better to ask me to raise it." ”

"So, who is that kid?" Lu Shiting asked him cautiously with a calm eye.

"That child is just a disgraceful one, it's inconvenient to keep her here, as long as you can raise her as an adult and keep her safe and worry-free, the benefits will definitely not be less than you!"

Lu Shiting's heart was pounding, and he clenched his hands, yes, he didn't know if he could get out of Xiucai all his life, and he seemed to be living in incompetence and cowardice all his life, and it was difficult to escape.

Originally, he was good with Qin Wenjun, and he liked her family background more, maybe he would be able to borrow the wind at any time, but who would have expected that the Qin family would be righteous with her, and in the end it was just a bamboo basket to draw water.

He answered Qin Shilang, and as soon as he returned home, he discussed with Qin Wenjun.

Qin Wenjun threw a cup of hot tea in his face, and she stroked her stomach and scolded him: "Then the Liu family gave birth to a son for you, can you look down on me like this?" actually took my child to trade, Lu Shiting, your conscience told the dog to take it away? ”

"What a deal, that's not your father." He also blackened his face, thinking that she was unreasonable, and even less reasonable than Liu's.

"Shit! I don't know him yet? His heart is very hard, if my child is handed over to him, he will definitely use arrows and knives! I don't agree......" Qin Wenjun's teeth began to tremble.

No one can understand him better than Qin Shilang's children, he is like a stone, no matter if you are his son or a child, as long as it is a stone that can climb high, he will slaughter you without mercy.

Lu Shiting felt angry in his heart, thinking that she was really bad for him, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to slam the door and go to discuss with Qin Shilang.

Qin Shilang sipped the tea carefully, raised his eyebrows and called a mother-in-law.

"You don't have to worry, when the day comes, this mother-in-law will take care of it. But...... Let no one know about this except you and me. ”

Lu Shiting invited this mother-in-law home, and it was really the same as what Qin Shilang said, this mother-in-law had a hard wrist and trapped Qin Wenjun in the side courtyard day and night, and the courtyard was full of her people.

When Qin Wenjun gave birth, five or six mothers-in-law carried a bamboo basket in their hands, took the materials, the baby came out, replaced the new materials, and the baby went in.

Sometimes Lu Shiting went in to see Qin Wenjun, and Qin Wenjun was like a ghost, desperately getting out of bed with a white face to strangle him.

He was frightened, and began to carefully please her in every possible way, confessing in front of her eyes all the time, and even groveling to serve her.

How else to say that women have long hair and short knowledge, Qin Wenjun was really coaxed by him, although she had resentment in her heart, the two of them were also reunited and reconciled as before.

However, when the mirror was closed, it looked like the water was not rippling on the surface, but behind the scenes, there was a dark tide surging, and the cracks were still there.

No matter how good a craftsman is, it can't be called like at the beginning, as long as it is touched again, it will be broken into slag in an instant, and the reunion of the broken mirror is doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future.

When the mirror was broken again and not even a piece was left intact, it also took away Qin Wenjun, who was full of resentment.

He had a disturbed conscience, and Qin Wenjun's poisonous eyes seemed to be still looking at him when he was dying, making him irritable and depressed day and night.

Yesterday he did go a little too far, and he couldn't say what he thought.

At that time, there was guilt and hypocrisy in his words, thinking of harsh words to make Shu Tan feel guilty and painful, and he endured these together, and asked her to alleviate his depression over the years.

Lu Shiting knew it in his heart, but he couldn't bear her to expose his rotten sores as if she was so provocative.
