Chapter 1 The oil runs out and the lamp dies

Next Chapter

The imperial doctor sent by the palace said that she would not live for half a month at most.

She has been bedridden for more than half a year. During this period, her husband and son never looked at her. As the main lady of the General's Mansion, there is only one maid by her side to serve her.

The weather has cooled down in the past few days, and after the first snowfall, the maid Abi told her that the red plums in the plum garden have bloomed, and they are very beautiful.

Hearing this, Yun Qing got up from the bed and smiled at Ah Bi: "Accompany me to the plum garden." ”

"Huh?" When the little maid heard this, her face was a little embarrassed: "Madame is not in good health, it is very cold outside, so don't go out." ”

"It's half a month to live, what is the difference between dying early and dying late a day, it's better than suffocating to death in the house. ”

Abi was speechless, Yun Qing frowned and said, "Abi, are you hiding something from me?"

"Madam, the general and the second lady are in the plum garden. ”

Yun Qing was stunned for a moment, and then pulled out a wry smile, after she learned that she was about to die, she sent someone to invite him every once in a while, he always shirked and said that the government was busy and had no time, and he couldn't pull away when he came to see her, but he had time to accompany Yun Shu to appreciate the plum.

"What, I still have to avoid them, and bring me my soft-wool brocade cloak. ”

Abi wanted to say that she went to find bad luck for others, but when the words came to her lips, seeing her sick appearance, she couldn't bear to say it. He only said, "Madame, do you want to apply two more layers of grease powder?"

Yun Qing has been sick all year round, and her complexion, which is not white, has become more and more dull, in contrast, the second lady is white and pure, and she is very pleasing to look at.

Knowing what Abi was thinking, Yun Qing smiled and said, "I'm just going to go around, not to meet anyone, why are you so troublesome?"

When Yunqing took Abi to the plum garden, he happened to bump into Dugu Yi and Yun Shu admiring the plum blossoms, Yun Shu is now more than nine months pregnant, with a big belly and a happy smile on her beautiful face.

Dugu Yi took off the fox fur on his body, and gently draped it on Yun Shu's body: "It's so cold, I don't wear much clothes when I come out, what should I do if my son freezes?"

Yun Shu blushed and pushed him: "I don't know if it's a man or a woman." ”

"Aren't I afraid of freezing you!"

Yunqing, who was not far away, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this scene, she had been married to Dugu Yi for ten years, and she never knew that her indifferent and arrogant husband had such a gentle and considerate side.

At this time, Yun Shu saw her and said with a smile: "Sister is also here to enjoy the plum?"

"Hmm. ”

"That's right, sister, let's come with us......" Yun Shu said, came to Yun Qing's side, took Yun Qing's hand and stroked her pregnant belly. "When my sister came, the child in my womb was also very happy, and just kicked me again. ”

Yun Qingqiang pulled out a smile, withdrew his hand, and just wanted to say that it was not necessary. As soon as she let go, Yun Shu screamed in surprise, and fell backwards with a heavy image.

Dugu Yi was shocked, "Shu'er, how are you, Shu'er?"

"Husband, I, my stomach hurts. ”

Yun Qing didn't expect this, she didn't even touch Yun Shu, how could she fall?

Yun Qing was about to step forward to take a look, but was kicked to the ground by Dugu Yi. Dugu Yi looked at her viciously and said, "You vicious slut! If something happens to Shu'er, I will kill you!"

Before leaving, Yun Shu, whose face was pale, did not forget to turn her head sideways and smile at Yun Qing extremely provocatively.

......

In the evening, Dugu Yi, who had not been to her for most of the year, suddenly came and ordered someone to prepare a pot of wine and a table of delicious food.

Yun Qing was still a little surprised by his arrival, and immediately got up from the bed and said, "How is Yun Shu?"

"You should be able to rejoice that mother and child are safe. ”

"Then why don't you stay with her?"

"Shu'er wants me to accompany you. ”

Yun Qing sneered when he heard this: "Husband, please go back." ”

"Ah Qing!!"

Dugu Yi's good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, Yun Qing knew that he was a precursor to impatience, since he was so reluctant, why did he come to accompany her?

Yun Qing still said in the end: "Husband, please do it." She didn't have the energy to argue with him.

Dugu Yi let Abi out, and only Yunqing and Dugu Yi were left in the room. Husband and wife for ten years, and in the end they had a meal together, but they didn't even say a word.

During this period, Yun Qing poured wine one after another. Dugu Yi didn't stop her, and when Yunqing was half drunk, Dugu Yi said the purpose of his visit: "Ah Qing, there is something I wanted to hide from you, but Shu'er couldn't bear it, so I asked me to tell you." ”

"You say. "So far, Yun Qing feels that there is nothing that he can't accept.

"After you die, I don't want you to enter our ancestral grave. ”

When Yun Qing heard this, she stared at him widenly, Dugu Yi dodged her gaze, and continued: "I only recognize Shu'er as my wife in this life. ”

"Then why did you marry me in the first place?!" Yun Qing couldn't bear it anymore after all, and slapped the table angrily with the strength of the wine and said: "Dugu Yi, you are simply losing your conscience! Back then, you were still a small imperial guard, who assisted you step by step to sit in this position today, over the years, I have tried poison for you, blocked the sword for you and killed people, and I have survived your most difficult days! If not, how could I have fallen into this problem?! But in the end, how did you treat me? Not long after I got sick, I married Yun Shu, and I also handed over the child I worked hard to give birth to Yun Shu to raise......!

"I know!" Dugu Yi interrupted her impatiently: "That's why I have always kept your identity as the general's wife, and let Shu'er be my concubine, I haven't treated you badly all these years, is it interesting for you to turn over old accounts now?"

Yun Qing laughed angrily: "Hehe, but I married you for this, you had no power and no power at the beginning, it was you who promised me to treat me well for the rest of my life, so I married you." If I had known this was the case, I would ......"

"What are you going to do? Don't be dissatisfied!! haven't I treated you well all these years? You're sick and destined to live long, what's wrong with me marrying someone else? What's more, that person is still your own sister!

After that, Dugu Yi glanced at Yun Qing with disgust: "Look at you like this, what's the difference between you and a jealous woman?!"

"Dugu Yi!!" His scoundrel remarks made Yun Qing couldn't help but redden: "I know that I won't live long, so you marry Yun Shu and give my son to her to raise, what have I said all these years?" It's just that I am your main house, and I gave birth to a son for you, you don't allow me to enter the ancestral grave, do you want me to be a lonely ghost after I die?!" Yun Qing was angry, and wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and dirty blood slowly flowed out of the corners of his lips.

Yun Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dugu Yi in shock, and then looked at the pot of wine on the table, his face full of disbelief.

"You, you poisoned me?!"

Dugu Yi was a little ashamed and said: "I'm sorry Aqing, Shu'er is about to give birth, I want to make her his wife." Don't worry, after you go, I will bury you beautifully, and in the future, I will treat Shu'er and our son well. ”

Yun Qing's legs and feet were weak, and he fell to the ground. Dugu Yi stepped forward to pick her up and put her on the bed.

Dugu Yi sat on the edge of the bed, and it was rare to talk to her calmly. said about the ups and downs they have experienced over the years, his feelings for Yun Shu, and his guilt for her. It's a pity that Yun Qing couldn't listen to a word, and slowly closed his eyes.

Yun Qing didn't know how long he had been dizzy, and when he woke up in a daze in the middle of the night, he saw his son Yuan Xi coming, kneeling in front of the bed and hanging his head.

Yun Qing smiled faintly, and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

"Back to my mother's words, it's time for the son. ”

"Your father asked you to come?"

"It was Aunt Shu who said that her mother was dying, and let her son come to fulfill his last filial piety. ”

"If she doesn't tell you, you won't remember to come and see me, will you?"

Because she is frail and sickly, Yuan Xi grew up next to Yun Shu, and she is not close to her, this child treats her with a little sincerity, Yun Qing knows it in her heart, but she still can't help but feel cold.

Yuan Xi hung his head and didn't speak, Yun Qing said: "That's it, since you are here, my mother will tell you a few words, now that your aunt Shu is pregnant with a child, I don't know if it is a man or a woman, if it is a boy, in the future, you remember not to fight with him in everything, don't steal his limelight." Ahem, if it's a girl, you treat her well, and you don't have to hide any skills. ”

"Mother is afraid that Aunt Shu will treat me badly if she has her own son?"

Yun Qing was silent, Yuan Xi was a smart child, and he didn't have to say everything too clearly. But Yuan Xi still couldn't help but speak for Yun Shu: "Mother don't want the heart of a villain to cross the belly of a gentleman, Aunt Shu treats her son very well, she doesn't have so many thoughts about her mother." ”

Yun Qing smiled bitterly: "It's a shame that you still call me a mother, then you will listen to me!!"

After Yuan Xi reluctantly agreed, Yun Qing asked him to step down.

She knew she couldn't hold it anymore, so she turned her head sideways and stared at the oil lamp that was swaying from side to side not far away.

Before she died, she didn't want to see anyone. The love between her husband who has been with her for ten years and the son she gave birth to in October is like a candle flickering in front of her, so fragile that it goes out as soon as the wind blows.

In a trance, there seemed to be a person in the room, Yun Qing's eyes were blurry, and he couldn't see it really, only the familiar and annoying voice in his ears.

"Sister, this won't work?"

"You said that you are obviously the real daughter of the Yun family, the general's wife, and Xi'er's biological mother, but in the end, the Yun family only recognizes me as a daughter, and your husband and son are all mine, it's really pitiful! But don't worry, I won't let you be alone, and I'll find a way to let your baby son go down to meet you after a while." ”

Yun Qing stared at Yun Shu when he heard this, and his tone was a little hurried: "What are you going to do?!Ahem, Xi'er can use you as her biological mother!"

"So what? He doesn't have my blood on him, and I will destroy anyone who gets involved with you Yunqing. By the way, sister, do you know how the two old immortals of the Yun family, as well as the second sister you were in the countryside back then, didn't you have it?...... Alas, don't blame me, blame them for treating you really in the end!"

"I'll kill you!!"

Yun Qing used his last strength to pounce on Yun Shu, but he fell heavily to the ground. Yun Shu snorted coldly, raised her foot and stepped heavily on her face, crushing it heavily.

I've heard people from the older generation say that people hallucinate before they die. But what appeared in front of Yun Qing's eyes was her pitiful and ridiculous life.

When he was young, because he was wrong with Yun Shu, he was bullied in the poor countryside. Later, he was taken back to Yunfu and carefully curryed favor with everyone, but he was made ugly by all kinds of calculations. finally replaced Yun Shu to marry Dugu Yi, a little guard who was married to his fingertips, and assisted Dugu Yi all the way at any cost, gave birth to a son for him, and fell ill.

In the end, he became a general, married Yun Shu, and his son also gave Yun Shu, but she ended up like this.

She is cautious in her life and pleases everywhere, but Yun Shu, she didn't have to do anything, she snatched everything that should have belonged to her, she was unwilling!!

"Yunshu, Dugu Yi, you wait, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!!"

Yun Qing let out a heart-rending last roar and swallowed. The evening breeze blew into the house through the window, and the lights went out......
