In the past three months, Lu Chengyu has only appeared in front of Nanfeng twice, when she was twelve weeks pregnant and sixteen weeks pregnant, he took her for prenatal checkups, and at other times, he rarely even returned to the Lu Mansion.

Nanfeng has always been quiet, and the most common thing she does during this time is to read a book, not that she wants to read it, but that there is only one tool in the cage for playing time, which is still Aunt Mei watching her in a daze every day, afraid that her spirit will have problems in the long run.

One day, Aunt Mei brought her a book of poems, she looked at it, and the corners of her mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile, very subtle, but this was very rare on her face that had no expression for three months.

Aunt Mei didn't know why she was laughing at first, until she returned the poetry collection to her, she looked through it for a while, and when she saw the poem written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Ye, she vaguely understood that she was not laughing, but sarcastic.

From near to far east and west, to deep to shallow clear stream.

As high as the sun and the moon, from relatives to husband and wife.

Close relatives are close to each other, they are husband and wife.

Over time, the servants of the mansion had all kinds of speculations in their hearts, and at first they only dared to talk behind their backs, but after a long time, some bold servants began to dare to point fingers at Nanfeng in front of them - in their opinion, Lu Chengyu locked her up here, and she didn't usually come to see her, so it can be seen that they don't care about her at all, and they don't need to continue to respect her.

On this day, the four servants came to clean the attic, and saw Nanfeng sitting on the small sofa reading a book, and for nearly two hours, she did not do anything other than turn the pages of the book, and couldn't help muttering: "Crazy." ”

A less courageous servant silenced: "She's a young lady!" ”

"What's there to be afraid of? Last time Xiaoqiu said to her face that she was a living dead, she didn't react! ”

"Alas, a good person is locked in a cage with shou kào, even if he is not crazy, he will be driven crazy."

There was a new servant who was very confused: "Why does the young master treat the young lady so much?" ”

"Who knows, but the young master is usually good to everyone, but it must be her fault for treating her like this!"

"But no matter what, the young lady is pregnant with the little young master......"

The servant sneered again: "Who knows if this child is the young master's." ”

The older servant reprimanded: "You don't want to die?!" Dare to say such things! ”

The servant argued unconvinced: "She had a bad reputation when she was not married to the young master, and she was not clear with several men, and she also escaped with a man last time!" I think eighty percent of her hooked up with a man outside and was caught and raped by the young master, otherwise you said that the young master loved her so much before, why are you locking her up like a prisoner now?! ”

The other three maids looked at each other and had nothing to say.

The more the servant spoke, the more energetic she became: "Her child was conceived when she was on a business trip, and she went on a business trip for more than a month, although she came back to live for two or three days in the middle, but is it so coincidental?" Just got pregnant? If you want to say that this child is the young master's, who believes it?! ”

They didn't lower their voices at all, Nanfeng could hear it clearly, but she still turned the page of the book without wavering.

The servant was disdainful: "Look at her like that, her heart is empty, right?" Don't dare to refute a word! ”

Although the older maid looked down on Nanfeng in his heart, he was still afraid of her rightful identity, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous: "Don't say it, be careful of being heard by Steward Fang, hurry up, the fourth floor hasn't been cleaned yet." ”

……

Until they left, Nanfeng remained in the same position, quietly turning a page of the book.

Suddenly, a chuckle sounded in the room, accompanied by a strange man's clear voice: "You're really not angry?" ”

Nanfeng was stunned, raised his head, and saw a person leaning against the door frame.

He looked young, in his early twenties, dressed casually and comfortably, and by the time she looked at him, he had walked in on his own. He first looked around the cage, and finally stopped closest to Nanfeng, looking at her with a smile.

Lu Chengyu gave an order, except for the maid who cleaned and delivered the food, no one else was allowed to go upstairs, although Nanfeng didn't know who he was and how he could come here, but he still didn't react on the surface, and looked at him with a plain face.

He squatted down and beckoned to her, "Come here, you come here." ”

Nanfeng didn't move, so he took out two lollipops from his pocket and coaxed a child: "Come here, I'll give you candy to eat." ”

Nanfeng just watched, he was not in a hurry, and waited with a smile.

After a while, Nanfeng stood up and dragged two long chains slowly in his direction.

The closer he gets, the more he can look at Nanfeng's face, and when Nanfeng stops, he praises with an appreciative look: "You are so beautiful." ”

Nanfeng said faintly, "Is it as beautiful as a ghost?" ”

His eyebrows curled: "yes." ”

The corner of Nanfeng's eyes moved, and he laughed: "I'm joking." Noticing that Nanfeng's wrist was rubbed by the chain, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and helped her tie it to her wrist to reduce the friction between the chain and the skin, "It hurts, right?" If I have a chance to come to see you next time, I will bring you a salve. ”

Nanfeng's gaze moved from his hand bandaging her to his face, he was really young, with a pair of smiling eyes crooked, looking innocent, she asked in a low voice, "Are you the new servant?" ”

He raised an eyebrow: "No." ”

"And who are you?"

He stood up with a smile, but bent down again, approached the cage and whispered: "A man who has praised you for being as beautiful as a ghost." ”

Nanfeng was slightly stunned, he had already left with a smile.

After squatting on the ground for a while, Nanfeng came back to his senses, gently stroked the handkerchief on his wrist, and accidentally found that this pink handkerchief had faint traces of huáng sè inside, as if it was ...... Word?

She untied it and spread it out on the ground, and there were indeed words on it, but it was very faint, and she couldn't see it clearly.

She hurriedly got up with her handkerchief and wanted to go to the light to look, but at this moment, the attic door was suddenly pushed open, and the door panel hit the wall with a 'bang'.

The first lady was wearing a luxurious cheongsam, her aura was not angry and arrogant, her eyes looked at her gently, Nanfeng inexplicably felt a kind of bad coming, she clenched her handkerchief, kept retreating, and the chain in her hand rang with the bell.

The noble lady followed Aunt Su, she opened the door of the cage with the key, Nanfeng was stunned, isn't the key only for Lu Chengyu?

Before she had time to think too much, the lady said, "Take her away." ”

……

In Banyan City at the beginning of May, the temperature has become very warm away from the spring cold, but the day is still very short, and it is only five o'clock now, but it is already dark.

Lu Chengyu closed the document and walked to the window, looking into the distance for a short rest, Song Qi knocked on the door and entered, walked to him and whispered: "Mr. Lu, Madame took the young lady out of the mansion, as if she went to a private hospital, and now she has been sent back." ”

Lu Chengyu's eyebrows were twisted in vain - ...... mother?

The corners of his mouth twitched, he immediately turned around and left the company quickly, Song Qi had already informed the driver to wait at the door, and hurried back to the Lu Mansion as soon as possible.

Lu Chengyu walked to the living room, and when Steward Fang saw them, there was obvious stunned on his face: "Young Master, why did you come back at this time?" ”

Song Qi immediately asked, "What about Madam?" ”

"Husband and wife have just left."

Steward Fang is usually the oldest and most stable person in the mansion, but at this moment, his eyes are flickering, and Rao is Song Qi feels that something is wrong: "What is Madam doing in the mansion?" ”

Steward Fang glanced at Lu Chengyu a few times, and said vaguely: "Madam...... Suspecting that the young lady's child was not the young master's, he took the young lady to a private hospital and took the young lady's amniotic fluid for testing......"

Song Qi was stunned and pumped amniotic fluid?

No matter how vague Steward Fang said, the key words were enough to make people think of them.

Amniotic fluid test ...... Nanfeng must be unwilling, how can she be willing to do such humiliating things? But now it is clear that Madame has succeeded, so the only explanation is that they were rough with the south wind......

Lu Chengyu's eyes and face were cold, his thin lips showed sharpness, and his body moved quickly upstairs.

Song Qi couldn't help but reprimand: "Why don't you stop it!" ”

Steward Fang said bitterly: "That's Madame, how can I stop it?" ”

Lu Chengyu walked all the way to the fifth floor without pausing, the door of the attic was open, and when he was about to approach, he slowed down slightly, until the door of the room, he heard Aunt Mei whispering inside: "How can they treat you like this, it's too much......"

His steps froze for a moment.

Nanfeng was lying on her side on the bed, her belly was already four or five months old, and the position of lying on her side was very uncomfortable, and Aunt Mei also wanted to straighten her, but she didn't want to. Aunt Mei had to use a towel to wipe her feet, and there was a bruise on her ankle, as if someone had grabbed her hard, and she struggled to strangle it.

Lu Chengyu walked in, silently, and she didn't know he was coming when Aunt Mei's towel was taken by him: "Shao ......"

With a wave of her hand, Lu Chengyu motioned for her to go out, and Aunt Mei looked at Nanfeng hesitantly, and went out only when she saw that she didn't react.

Lu Chengyu re-soaked the towel in warm water, wrung it out, and gently rubbed it on her ankle.

Nanfeng didn't respond, closed his eyes tightly, and let him fiddle.

Silent.

Be quiet.

An atmosphere of stagnancy spread between them.

A long dead silence.

The warm water was cold, Lu Chengyu opened his mouth, and his tone was complicated and low: "Today's incident is that my mother is wrong, I apologize to you on her behalf, and there will be such a thing in the future." ”

Nanfeng opened his lips calmly: "The child was not yours in the first place." ”

Lu Chengyu's eyes fell on her face, slightly gloomy.

She looked calm: "There is no need to test at all, I admit, the child is indeed not yours." In order to prove her words, she put forward corroboration, "Brother Yu Chen and I are childhood sweethearts, how can we be innocent?" This child is what he and I conceived in the wild mountains. ”

Lu Chengyu flipped her over and made her lie on her back, Nanfeng didn't struggle, his eyes looked straight at the ceiling.

He reached out to remove the hair from her face, and saw that there was a bruise on her forehead, and his eyes darkened - how hard did she struggle to get herself covered in injuries?

Nanfeng's lips were filled with a smile: "There will be no next time?" The amniotic fluid has been pumped, and as soon as the test results come out, it will prove that the child is not yours, and of course there will be no next time. ”

Lu Chengyu shouted: "I never believed those gossips, you don't need to say such things to stab me." ”

Hearing this, Nanfeng finally moved his gaze to his face, his eyes were not pale and pale in his eyes, his nerves slowly tensed until they were tense, and he silently looked at her.

"Oh, is it? Don't you believe it? It seems that I remembered the wrong person, and I thought that the person who suspected me and Mr. Sheng in Beicheng was you. ”

Rake up the past.

Not only did they bring up the old things, but they also disrupted the contradictions that they had already resolved.

At that time, she obviously believed Song Qi's explanation and believed that he had not doubted her, but now the rhetorical question completely denies the original belief.

She had long since denied everything related to him.

Nanfeng pulled the quilt to cover herself, Lu Cheng reached out to help her, she also did not refuse, and asked when the quilt was tucked: "You are the only one who has the key to this cage, right?" ”

Lu Chengyu met her eyes, and there was no need to answer, his instantaneous reaction had already given her a dá àn.

Holding the pupils, Nanfeng's voice was unwavering: "It seems that I not only have a poor memory, but also blind eyes, I thought that Mrs. Lu took the key to open the cage and take me away." ”

…… It's him again.

…… Only he has the key, so it's him again.

He commanded, he commanded, and he did it.

Lu Chengyu let out a soft 'heh'.

The meaning is unknown.

It's kind of ironic.

Nanfeng ignored it and closed his eyes gently.

After a while, there was a sound of the cage locking, and there was no second person around.

Nanfeng never moved, but after closing her eyes, the dark world uncontrollably spread out the paper on its own, and the tip of the pen sketched the watercolor color, allowing her to relive what happened in the private hospital.

Four or five sturdy women grabbed her...... When she refused, they grabbed her hands and legs...... There was also a forced removal of her clothes...... The bed was cold and had the pungent smell of disinfectant water...... She was pressed against it, unable to resist, like a lamb to the slaughter...... The doctor probed into her abdomen...... Then the needle was pierced and pierced through the wall of the uterus......

The pain at that moment was actually not particularly painful, but the lamp above her head was like the strongest light she had ever seen in her life, deeply imprinted in her bones, and could not be washed away.

Nanfeng opened his eyes, and the attic was indeed silent.

She got out of bed and searched under the bed to find the handkerchief.

She was taken away in the afternoon, and in a panic she only had time to throw her handkerchief under the bed, but fortunately there was no maid to clean it later.

Through the light, she finally saw the five words written on it.
