The face was much thinner than before, a little more delicate and fragile, the pale lips were pursed, a pair of eyes sparkled, leaning on the side of the bed and looking at her with a smile.

Yaohua clenched her handkerchief, and her words were a little vague, "I thought my brother-in-law asked me to come over because I had something to bring to my sister," she said while looking around and wanting to quit, "That's why she came." ”

"Are you scared?" The soft tone has a hint of banter, which makes people feel very uncomfortable to listen to.

Yaohua's hands trembled a little.

Zhao Xuanhuan seemed to be a little disappointed, "I thought you and your fifth sister were the best, so I asked you to come and ask." The last time I saw the fire in your fifth sister's yard, I thought it was her ......, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”

Yaohua heard Zhao Xuanhuan mention Ronghua, her eyes were red, and she was very sad.

Zhao Xuanhuan said: "Listen to your sister, it is because of this that the Xue family did not choose you, but chose your eighth sister Ronghua." ”

Yaohua didn't know why Zhao Xuanhuan mentioned this, and hurriedly said: "No, last time we went to Xue's house, Xue Houye took a fancy to the eighth sister, it has nothing to do with this, my sister will say it when I am worried about it, brother-in-law don't take it to heart." ”

is really an interpreter flower, delicate, kind, and knows how to advance and retreat, and Ronghua said the same as he said at that time.

Tao Yaohua.

Zhao Xuanhuan looked at Yaohua carefully.

"You must know how your fifth sister died."

Yaohua twisted the handkerchief vigorously.

Zhao Xuanhuan said again: "If you can tell me that we all have her in our hearts, even if she achieves us, I will definitely be good to you in the future." ”

Yaohua was very flustered, and looked at Zhao Xuanhuan with wide eyes, "Brother-in-law...... Don't say that again...... I ......"

Zhao Xuanhuan took out a sachet from the pillow, and the slightest softness on his face disappeared, "This is the sachet you gave to your sister." ”

Yaohua raised her head and took a look, her face became a little ugly, and Zhao Xuanhuan's next words made her whole person breathless.

Zhao Xuanhuan seemed to smile coldly, "Do you recognize Ma Daopo?" Did you know that she had some spices and powders in her hand that could be used to make people have abortions? You gave the spice to your sister, who ordered the powder? Do you remember Qiu He? ”

Yaohua took a step back, resting her palms on the low table behind her, and looked at Zhao Xuanhuan in disbelief.

"Brother-in-law suspects that I hurt my sister? Why should I hurt my sister? How can my brother-in-law say these things to me? Yaohua's tears kept falling, "What reason do I have to hurt my sister?" Who did my brother-in-law listen to say these words? ”

Zhao Xuanhuan closed his eyes, his face was indifferent, "I thought you hated me and your eldest sister because of your fifth sister." ”

Yaohua's tears were half hanging on her cheeks, and she opened her mouth slightly, "The family says that the eldest brother-in-law and the fifth sister ...... It's true? ”

Zhao Xuanhuan's eyes flickered and he frowned, "You don't know?" ”

Yaohua choked up and said, "The fifth sister didn't tell me, how did I know...... I just thought it was nonsense, I really didn't think it was true. ”

Zhao Xuanhuan listened to these words, and then looked at Yaohua's expression, so true, it seemed to be from the heart, "You don't want to admit it?" How did your father and mother know about my relationship with your fifth sister? The best thing in the Tao family and Ronghua is you, and what Ronghua can tell about this is you. ”

Yaohua was stunned for a while, as if she understood the meaning of Zhao Xuanhuan's words, slowly widened her eyes, and said as if she was in despair for a while: "Why does my brother-in-law think like this?" How could I do such a thing with my fifth sister? Looking at Zhao Xuanhuan and seeing that there was no hesitation in his eyes, he coughed for a while, half-closed his eyes, tears flowed to his cheeks, and the whole person was shaky and couldn't stand, "Brother-in-law refuses to believe it, only when we see the fifth sister in the future, ask again, ask if the fifth sister thinks the same way, does it also ......" sobbed softly, "Do you think the same way about me." With that, he turned around and hurried out.

Yaohua walked out of Zhao Xuanhuan's house, ran all the way out of the moon gate, and Zhao Xuanhuan's mother-in-law answered, and the mother-in-law sent Yaohua out of the corridor, Xiangzhu hurriedly greeted him, and saw Yaohua with a concerned face, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yaohua shook her head, and Xiangzhu said, "Miss was originally here to take care of the eldest lady, why does my uncle seem to be ...... Otherwise, let's go back."

Yaohua glanced at Xiangzhu, "How can I go back when my eldest sister is sick like this?" I don't dare to leave her now, for fear of ...... How scared I am," I couldn't hold back crying anymore, "I saw my sister fine last time, but her illness has improved a lot, how did it suddenly become like this." ”

Xiangzhu hurriedly comforted Yaohua, "Miss, don't think too much, now my aunt and grandmother are in a bad mood, and with Miss with her, maybe she can get better slowly." ”

Yaohua nodded, "No matter what, my sister is more important than anything else. ”

Xiangzhu hurriedly said: "Miss, let's go into the house, the weather is cold and raining, you have to pay attention to your body." ”

Yaohua wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief to try to stabilize her mood, and it took a long time to get her jaw down, "Let's go to the small kitchen to make medicine for my sister, and then go to my sister's house later, lest my sister see it and think I'm ...... Be sad in your heart. ”

Xiangzhu wanted to persuade Yaohua, after all, it was cold in the small kitchen, and he would cough when the smoke from the stove was smoked, but seeing Yaohua's firm expression, he could only follow Yaohua's meaning and accompany Yaohua to the small kitchen.

Over there, a maid wearing a pale cyan armor walked out of the darkness, and her eyes followed the figures of Yaohua and Xiangzhu to the end of the corridor, and after waiting for a while, a little maid hurriedly walked out of the courtyard where Zhao Xuanhuan was recuperating, and the little maid looked left and right and whispered to her to a secluded place, and then the two separated and walked in other directions.

The maid wearing a light cyan armor came all the way to Shuhua's courtyard, and Miaotong in Shuhua's house immediately opened the curtain to let her into the house.

The maid walked to Shuhua's bed, Shuhua on the bed slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Miaotong, Miaotong immediately retreated, closed the partition and found a small pestle and a needlework basket to sit in the outside room.

The light cyan maid is Shuhua's right-hand man, and her name is Miao'e from Shuhua, although she grew up in Zhao's mansion, she is very loyal to Shuhua because Shuhua treats her well, and now she is facing Shuhua's pale and lifeless face, and the words that come to her mouth are inquiring, but she doesn't know what to say.

Shuhua's eyes looked at the pair of bronze gilt sheep's horn palace lamps next to the bed, and then looked at the furnishings in the room, which thing was not carefully selected by her, including the simple arrangement in the side room, he liked the simple arrangement of "Wu Wei Ju", she specially found those simple and generous tables and chairs to ask someone to do carefully, who knew that he never asked, let alone read a few books in the small study, and wrote a few words.

She gradually learned that he didn't like her temper, and she tried to restrain herself, to be graceful, to get closer to what he liked, but she didn't get the slightest response from him.

She has planned for the worst, Zhao Xuanhuan may have raised the outer room, and her father has also done such a thing, and she also thought that if it was true, she would pretend to be generous and take the outer room into the mansion, so that he could know that she Tao Shuhua could not become a good wife, it was not that she did not know how to understand his difficulties, and it was not that she could not get along with him.

But he never thought that the person in his heart would be the fifth sister Tao Ronghua.

It's her, Tao Ronghua. She really didn't understand that Tao Ronghua was just a concubine, with a bit of talent but high pretentiousness, how could she be liked by many people, but why should she live in the shadow she left forever.

When I was a child, my mother often shed tears because my father protected my second aunt, and after the second aunt died, my father liked the concubine Ronghua born to the second aunt. As long as she drank wine, her father would tell her that the second aunt and the fifth sister were good, she was secretly angry in her heart, and she wanted to argue with her father several times, but her mother stopped her.

If you want to talk about identity, she is the orthodox descendant, and there were a few times when she was sad because of the gift her father gave to her fifth sister, and her mother quietly persuaded her in private, "Remember, you are the real lady in this house, no matter who you are, you can't shake your position, your father's kindness to her is only temporary, you will have a difference in the future, never let people underestimate you." ”

Never let people look down on you.

She remembers it all the time.

Yes, loudly, tell them, let them remember, when they can't underestimate her, Tao Shuhua.

The fifth sister died of illness, on the surface she felt happy, but in her heart she also regretted it. It's one thing to curse a person to die all the time, it's another thing to actually see her die.

Soon learned about her marriage, and when she saw Zhao Xuanhuan, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do, and when she returned to the room, she was stunned for a long time before realizing that this was true, she was really going to get married, and marry the person with a sparse face and a gentle jade look that made her heart flutter.

She is really like what her mother said, and she is different from everyone else. From then on, no one dared to underestimate her, everyone had to look at everything she had around her with envy, and from then on she would never listen to her mother's resentful voice, and the mother and daughter were careful to please her father in front of her.

Never again, how is she better than the sisters in the house, and how is she better than the dead Tao Ronghua?

But she didn't expect that what greeted her was her husband's indifference and her mother-in-law's dictatorship, she tried her best to tolerate it, tried her best to back down, and tried her best to ...... It's still to this day.

She can't even remember how excited she was when she got married, and what kind of anticipation she was looking forward to.

Tao Ronghua, why can't she ever avoid her. Tao Ronghua will control her life after she dies.

Shuhua took a few breaths and urged Miao'e, "In the end...... All...... What was said? ”

Miao'e said: "Ying'er said, the uncle asked Miss Tao Er, if it is...... If so......"

Shuhua turned her head to look at her.

Miao'e bit her lip before she spoke, "If Miss Tao Er tells how Miss Tao Fifth died, Uncle will marry Miss Tao Er and enter the door." ”

Hearing this, Shuhua's chest suddenly seemed to be pressed by a stone, and it was pitch black in front of her, and she almost ran out of breath.

Miao'e screamed for a long time, patting Shuhua's chest with her hand constantly, Shuhua's chest rose and fell for a while, and finally she had the strength to open her eyes again, and those eyes stared at Miao'e in despair, "Quick...... Say ......"

Miao'e didn't dare to disobey Shuhua's intentions, and tears flowed down, "Uncle said that the second lady bought spices and medicinal powder from Ma Daopo to harm her big. He also said that the medicinal powder was autumn lotus......"
