Rui Xue sat at the table, holding the lantern with her hairpin, while listening to the sword dance, and asked lightly after a while, "Are the clan elders really kneeling?" Sir also knelt? ”

Jian Wu nodded, "The slave hangs upside down on the eaves, and she can see it very clearly when she pierces the window paper. After speaking, she seemed to be afraid that her master would misunderstand, and added, "However, Mr. never responded." ”

Rui Xue smiled bitterly, casually put the hairpin on her head, and responded, "I know, you all go down, you don't have to get up at night, just rest by yourself, early tomorrow morning, put all the salutes in boxes and prepare to return north." ”

The big and small maids were all shocked, and they didn't understand why the master wanted to return to his hometown when the Zhao family was in trouble, what if there were rumors that the young lady was ungrateful?

The old lady also persuaded, "Miss, if not, how many more days shall we wait?" ”

Ruixue shook her head, her half-drooping eyes gloomy, "Don't persuade me, just go." ”

Niuniu is rarely sensible these days, and she is helping in the restaurant, and finally the restaurant is handed over, and she is free, and she wants to pester her sister to play, and she wants to be taken to sleep again, so she pouts a little and begs, "Sister, I will sleep with you at night, okay?" ”

Rui Xue was just about to open her mouth to persuade a few words, but the old lady had already stepped forward and pulled Niuniu to walk out, and coaxed, "Second Miss, Miss is too tired these days, Second Miss will sleep by herself for one night tonight, and then hurry home tomorrow, and Miss Second will be able to play with Miss every day." ”

Niuniu heard this, but she didn't make any more trouble, and went down with the old mama.

Rui Xue took off her shoes, slowly lay down on the bed with her clothes, patted the two children gently, and murmured in a low voice, "You say, will your father choose our mother and son, or choose his people?" ”

The two children were asleep and naturally couldn't answer, so she could only smile bitterly, "If my mother is a native of this ancient country, she will be satisfied with the status of a flat wife and a side wife, or even have no name, just hide in a house, waiting for your father to arrive every day, how good is it?"

It's a pity that my mother is too jealous, as long as I think that your father will wear a red robe and lead other women into the cave room, my mother will feel so painful that she wants to go crazy.

If that woman gives birth to a younger brother and sister for you again, will your mother also become like the eldest lady of the Zhao family and poison them to death?

No, my mother doesn't want to be that person..."

The low whisper drifted through the room, hidden in the window lattice, the corner of the house, and slowly dispersed, but the pain and sadness contained in the voice were solidified and never dissipated.

I don't know how long it took, the footsteps suddenly came to mind outside the courtyard, and a few old voices were shouting, "Miss Chen, Miss Chen, please persuade the head of the family, please fulfill our Zhao family..."

The persuasion voices of Shopkeeper Mo and Desheng came later, Ruixue looked up at the window lattice slightly, snorted lightly, and continued to gossip with the two children in a low voice...

In the small hall of the wing room, a lamp was like a bean, the old lady frowned tightly, pulled a handkerchief in her hand, walked around the house, couldn't help but stare at Amber who was sitting and drinking tea on the side, and said angrily, "You old man, you have an idea, these old immortals of the Zhao family, this is trying to force our young lady to leave?" ”

"And leave?" Amber sneered disdainfully, "These old guys don't regard Xue Yatou as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family at all in their hearts, and they can't talk about it at all."

They just want to force her to take the initiative to leave, if they can persuade Zhao Xiaozi to marry the daughter of the Wu family, it would be the best. ”

"They dream, our young lady is the wife, and they want to leave without saying anything, what are they waiting for us? Even if our grandfather dies early, and General Wu, our young lady has just recognized the general as her father-in-law, um..."The old lady was halfway through speaking, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "If the young lady sends a letter to General Wu, the general will definitely not sit idly by." ”

Amber glared at the old lady rarely, and retorted, "The martial arts family is already a high-ranking master, and it is too late to act in a low-key manner, if you openly offend the prince and are sued, maybe the martial arts family will go to see the king of Hades earlier than the Zhao family."

Besides, Zhao Xiaozi's temper may not necessarily agree with the snow girl to ask the general's mansion for help. ”

The old lady heard him say this, and she was also anxious, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then you can tell me, what should I do now?" ”

Amber also sighed, and said for a while, "In the end, this matter is still the matter of their little couple, let's not say much, it depends on whether they can pass this pass, in short, my old man is going to follow the snow girl to support the elderly, and I will follow her wherever she goes." ”

The old lady was also helpless, sitting on the chair, listening to the movement outside, and also shut up...

Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was dark, I don't know which rooster crowed diligently, loud and crisp, the whole Tongcheng seemed to be woken up by this rooster's crow, and people who needed to get up early had a job, and they went out of the house with sleepy eyes, and got busy.

Ruixue got up early and deliberately changed into her favorite dress, made a somewhat rough double snail sideburns with her own hands, and then got out of the stove, cooked rice porridge, steamed two bowls of egg custard, and mixed two side dishes, and when the second plate of egg cakes was baked, the voice she was very familiar with sounded outside the courtyard gate.

She took a deep breath, picked up the tray, and walked out of the stove door, just in time to see that the man was wearing a slightly wrinkled royal blue shirt, and his face was haggard and pushed the door in, so she smiled slightly and greeted, "The shopkeeper is back, let's go into the house for breakfast." With that, he stepped into the hall first.

Zhao Fengnian stood at the door, holding the courtyard door with one hand, and suddenly felt as if he had returned to the mansion of Yunjia Village, every time he returned from outside, his wife greeted him with a smile like this, plain, but it made him feel warm all over his body in an instant.

But today, perhaps, perhaps, it will be the last time I hear it, right?

Thinking like this, his feet were like falling a thousand pounds of weight, and he couldn't lift it, and the fourth old man who was left at the end outside the door was wrapped in a quilt, his face was frozen blue, and he trembled and whispered, "Brother Fu, I've made you suffer." ”

Zhao Fengnian heard the name of his childhood, but he felt that his heart was pulled more painfully, and he didn't turn his head back, so he answered, "Fourth grandfather, go back and rest." Then he closed the courtyard door.

Shopkeeper Mo was on the side, stomped his feet angrily, pointed at the nose of the fourth master, and scolded, "Your Zhao family will do evil, you will be retributed for being so ungrateful and breaking up your marriage." ”

The fourth master did not refute half a word, lowered his head, and sighed away with the help of the wind.

Zhao Fengnian entered the hall, Rui Xue personally brought warm water, waited for him to wash his hands, and then sat opposite him, served porridge and vegetables for him, and finally divided the two bowls of egg custard, while scooping a spoon and eating it, he said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the shopkeeper, when we first got married, the family was too poor, and it was a luxury to want to steam a bowl of egg custard to eat, every time I watched you drink, I secretly drooled." ”

"Hmm," Zhao Fengnian responded gently, the hand holding the spoon was already trembling slightly, Ruixue continued to eat egg custard as if she didn't see it, and said with a smile, "You also said that you will move a few more osmanthus trees to the East Garden this year, and the child will soon be old and will be able to play under the osmanthus tree." ”

"Hmm," Zhao Fengnian still responded, but the spoon had already been put down.

Ruixue gulped down the custard in the bowl, raised his eyes and saw that he still had most of the bowl left, so he reached out and took it, and ate it all in a few bites, and finally wiped his lips and said, "Fortunately, I finally ate with you, I didn't suffer any more grievances, I shared most of the egg custard!" ”

Where can Zhao Fengnian endure it, he suddenly raised his head and said, "There is no last!" ”

Rui Xue smiled faintly, her eyes were like a mother looking at a wayward child, and said softly, "Shopkeeper, didn't you come to discuss with me today to marry the daughter of the Wu family?" You know I won't agree, but you must marry for the sake of those people, so our end must be separation.

This meal, naturally, is also the last. ”

If Rui Xue cried or scolded angrily, Zhao Fengnian could still have three points of hope in his heart, but when she said the word separation with such a smile, he knew that there was no room for things to turn around, and she had already made up her mind.

However, he was really willing to be separated like this, across the table, grabbed Rui Xue's hand hard, and begged, "Xue, you believe me once, I married her into the mansion, it's just an expedient measure, once I find a way to contain the Wu family, or the Wu family loses power, I will definitely leave her immediately!" ”

Rui Xue looked at this man seriously, this man who shared hardships with her, but couldn't share the same happiness, and the faint smile finally disappeared on her face, "Zhao Fengnian, if I say, I want to write to the martial arts family for help, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Fengnian was slightly stunned for a moment, but still said slowly, "This is our Zhao family's business, you are not the daughter of the martial arts family after all, don't implicate outsiders, I will definitely come up with a solution." ”

The sadness in Rui Xue's eyes was even stronger, and she pulled her hand out of Zhao Fengnian's hand a little bit, and said with a wry smile, "It turns out that your pride is the most important thing, more important than our mother and son." ”

Zhao Fengnian's heart seemed to be like in his hand, and suddenly he felt very empty, and hurriedly swore with a curse, "Xue, I swear, I only have you and the child in my heart, I will never have a round house with the woman of the Wu family, I will never have a child with her, you wait for me for a year, a year..."

Rui Xue sneered, "Today, their Wu family can force you to marry Wu Xiangyun as a wife, and it can force you to have a house with her and have a child with her one day, as long as you take a step back, there will be a second step, a third step, and habits will become natural."

I'm sorry, but I'm never used to being with people, I'm not used to relying on the arms of others, I'm sure two children won't like it either, and there are other children, who call you daddy..."

Zhao Fengnian's whole body was like falling into an ice cave, he was almost shivering, and the words of the woman opposite him were like a knife stuck in him, and the pain was piercing, but he had nowhere to hide, this recognition made him angry and made him mad with pain, "Qin Ruixue, no, Chen Shuangyue, are you fair?"

I am a man, it is not a sin to have three wives and four concubines, I have you in my heart, I am willing to marry only one of you for the rest of my life, and only guard you, but I can't watch the family business I and my father lay down in one fell swoop, I can't watch my clansmen go to prison, I can't watch my elders kneel and kowtow to me, I can't!

You can't endure this time, just once, for the rest of my life, I will rely on you in everything, okay? ”
