The red lanterns hang under the high eaves, and the candles flicker among the flowers and trees, clearly extinguished, like a galaxy hanging upside down, decorating this once lively courtyard.

However, the night finally came.

With the momentum of toppling, it covered every corner and every brick, as if it wanted to use its blackness and sinking to sweep away all the joy and laughter in this world.

The people standing outside the corridor of Mingyuan Hall were black and pressed to the ground, but there was not even a cough, and it was so quiet that it could be heard.

The four big girls, Brother Parrot, Thrush, Hibiscus, and Yellow Warbler, all stood at the foot of the stairs with their hands tied at this time, their faces solemn. In front of the closed courtyard gate, there were still a few mothers in green clothes, also with cold expressions.

In the western room, the bright candle is hot, as bright as day, reflecting the brocade green of the room.

and, the dead silence of the room.

Li slowly raised his head and glanced at the familiar room, his face was gray and withered, as if he had aged ten years in a moment.

Her husband disappeared for eight years, and suddenly returned to her hometown one day, at that time she was full of thought that her eight years of hard work and waiting finally moved the sky, so that her husband returned home with the longing for her family and the feelings that she couldn't give up on her relatives.

However, the cold reality hit her hard.

Those good wishes were nothing more than her wishful thinking.

She never imagined that by the time she counted the long sleepless nights one after another, his husband had a new wife and children and a new home outside.

Li's heart ached, but the corners of his eyes were dry, and he couldn't shed a single tear.

Perhaps, her tears had dried up in that day and night of waiting.

There was a bitterness in his throat, and even the tip of his tongue began to tingle.

Li lowered his head, his eyes were empty, and everything in front of him seemed to be non-existent and illusory.

Actually, she doesn't really care about the eyes of outsiders.

She rarely pays attention to those comments from the outside.

However, now she can't do this anymore.

Those long waits, thoughts and worries have all become a joke.

In this situation, where should you put this heart you called her?

Red knotweed egrets, iris embankment bridges, those bright and bright years, after all, have passed like water. Now the prosperity and good times are returned to Cen Lonely, she is desolate, submerged in the water, across a layer of vast water waves, only looking at the shore to pick the rose girl treading the water and singing, the mountain flowers in the sideburns.

Li half-hung his head, a sad look on his face, and was quickly replaced by gray silence.

She knew she shouldn't be so depressed.

She should cheer up and deal with this time and this matter.

The origin of that family is unknown, and it is too early to say anything, I can't say which house is secretly using this method, or the enemy of the Guogong Mansion, to give the Guogong Mansion a big shameless.

However, just because the mind is clear does not mean that the heart is also clear.

When he saw the woman's delicate face, Li's heart was already cold, and along with the hot blood in that cavity, it was frozen into ice.

Looking at the Li family who was in the seat, Mrs. Xu's eyes crossed a very shallow line of compassion.

"Idiot......" she sighed, slowly turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, and closed her eyes.

Lee's biggest problem is that he is too stupid.

After Chen Shao disappeared that year, she locked herself in the Mingfeng Pavilion and did not ask about foreign affairs for seven years.

Now, Chen Shao stopped his wife and remarried, and the wife room outside actually came to the door and opened the mystery of the eight years of disappearance in public.

Even though there are still debatable points and many doubts in this matter, it is obvious that the Li family can no longer bear it.

Old Madam Xu opened her eyes slightly and looked at Xu who was sitting on the other side.

Xu's face was expressionless, and he was intently looking at the tea cup on the high table next to him, as if he was studying the patterns on it.

Old Madam Xu's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

One is disheartened, the other is not his business.

In their Chengguo Mansion, why don't they have a daughter-in-law who can handle it?

Old Madam Xu looked away in disappointment.

She deliberately left the Xu family, but let the Shen family and the Liu family avoid it, hoping that she could use this matter to make the Xu family really stand up.

There is such a big thing in the house, as the housemother, the Xu family should take all the responsibilities, and the good life will deal with the matter, the purges that should be cleared, the ascertainment that should be investigated, no matter how bad it is, should give the Li family an explanation, give the family of three a place to go, and round the dignity of the Guogong Mansion.

But now it seems that Xu is obviously unwilling to take care of it.

Old Madam Xu's heart was a little blocked.

When you have a good thing, you try your best to move forward, and when you are in trouble, you shrink your head.

I just want to take advantage of it, and I don't want to make a difference.

Is this still like a housewife?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu was not only disappointed, but also discouraged like the Li family.

She understands Xu's scruples.

Today's incident has reached such an uncontrollable point, and in the final analysis, Chen Li cannot escape the blame.

If he hadn't suddenly asked Chen Shao to watch the ceremony and led him to the flowing water seat outside the second gate, the family of three would not have recognized their relatives in public, and this ugly incident would not have been seen under so many pairs of eyes.

In front of the eighteen tables full of the people of the capital, the three religions and the nine streams, the Guogong Mansion lost a big face, and the second room became a laughing stock in Beijing.

Whether there is a four-room handwriting here, Mrs. Xu is also a little unsure.

Although she believes in Chen Li's character very much, she also firmly believes that the Liu family, who is in the Buddhist hall, will not be able to turn over such a big storm. However, Sifang's contribution to this matter has been seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

And it is precisely because of this that Xu Shi refuses to say a word.

She was afraid that if she didn't take care of it, she wouldn't be able to fall into the same place.

Besides, the relationship between the long room and the second room is a bit weak.

Turning her gaze to the Buddha beads on her wrist, Old Madam Xu exhaled a heavy breath.

Don't talk about the bearing of the housewife, even if the concubines help each other and the family says warm words to comfort them, the Xu family can't do it.

She probably felt that if she could sit here and help come up with ideas, she would already be benevolent.

Old Madam Xu turned her head and looked at a certain place in the corner of the house, and her closed mouth pursed into a straight line.

"Stepping on the footsteps", there was a sound of broken footsteps outside the door, and then the door curtain was high, and Liu Baoshan's family walked in, standing silently under the hall.

She went out to inquire about the news, but who should report the news, and she had to listen to Mrs. Xu's meaning.

Old Madam Xu sat still, and the Xu family on the side glanced at her, frowned, and reluctantly opened her mouth: "Has my mother sent someone to inquire?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept to Li's and wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief.
