"But, yes, I ...... you"

His smile has always been gentle and free, with a warm tenderness and sweetness, but at this moment, there is an indescribable bitterness in that smile, and I can even feel the bitterness in his heart at this moment, from his fingertips touching me, all the way to my heart.

There is no way to struggle, there is no way to escape.

Feeling the tingling sensation of his fingers, my eyelashes twitched, and I looked at him and said, "What will you do to me?" ”

He said, "What do you think I'm going to do to you?" ”

"......" I was silent for a moment, shaking my head.

I don't know what he's going to do, and I can't guess what he's thinking—if I could, I wouldn't be where he is today.

Looking at my blank eyes, he smiled faintly, stroked my fingers and used a little force, and said, "I won't do anything to you." It's just that you are the wife that I Pei Yuanxiu is marrying, so you should stay with me and continue to be my wife. ”

“……”

"It's okay for you to send the words away. Because from now on, you're all mine alone. ”

“……”

He came up to me and looked at me, breathing hot, "You're mine alone!" ”

I subconsciously wanted to retreat, avoiding his gaze that seemed to devour people, but just as I moved, his hand had already grabbed my shoulder, felt the heat of his palm, and the unconsciously force of his fingers, like iron tongs to hold me, I struggled slightly, and he had already leaned over, just heard a thud, the candle next to the bed went out, and the whole room fell into darkness.

In the morning, I was woken up by a chill.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the bright sunlight coming in through the window, illuminating the whole room. The sun also shone on the hand I put outside the quilt, but I didn't feel any temperature, but I don't know how long that hand had been outside the quilt, my fingertips were cold, and I almost didn't feel anything.

I looked at the white, or rather blind, hand, and, after a while, moved my finger slightly.

This movement caused a pain in my body, and I remembered that last night, the man seemed to tear me apart and eat me, and when I turned my head, I saw that the other side of the bed was empty.

I lay quietly for a while, until I had a little strength in my body, then slowly stood up and sat up, barely putting on my clothes, Xiaoni and Xi Xi had already walked in with a basin of water and towels, and served me to get up and freshen up.

When I saw both of them, they were like frightened birds, and when they served me, they wanted to speak and stopped several times, but they did not dare to speak.

Finally, when I sat down at the dresser and started combing my hair, they finally couldn't hold it anymore, and Xiaoni stood behind me and said timidly, "Madame...... Sister Su Su, and Miss Miaoyan, why are they gone? ”

I looked at them calmly in the mirror: "They're all gone." ”

"Huh? Where are they going? Will it be back? ”

As soon as she finished asking, before I could speak in a hurry, Xi Xi next to me couldn't help it, and asked repeatedly: "Yes, yes." Why are they gone just one night? Also, madam, we saw that the guards outside had changed, and Childe explained that no one else would be allowed to come in, and we should report it first when we came in. What the hell is going on? ”

Seeing the two of them look frightened, I didn't answer their questions, but asked, "Are you scared?" ”

They looked at each other, timidly tugging at their sleeves and not speaking.

I let out a long sigh and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't involve you." ”

“……”

"If you're still worried, you can leave."

“……”

"I'll go tell Childe."

The two of them also seemed a little embarrassed, and looked at me timidly for a long time before saying softly, "Madam, thank you, Madame." ”

I smiled faintly.

However, although he said that he was going to explain this matter to Pei Yuanxiu, he didn't expect to see him for the next two days, he didn't set foot in the inner courtyard again, and I didn't go out. What I can see every day is just the quiet bamboo leaves outside the window, as well as the faces of Xiaoni and Xi Xi who are getting more and more anxious day by day, every time the two of them come, they will also mention to me some things that happened outside, I just know that Han Ruoshi finally woke up, but her body is too weak, and she is still completely out of danger until now, Yao Lao has been staying in front of her couch in order to save her, and she has not closed her eyes for a few days.

Xiaoni held my long hair, combing it gently, and asked carefully: "Madam, that Miss Han, is she going to compete with Madame for favor?" ”

I smiled calmly, "How do you know?" ”

She said: "There used to be a sister in our village, who also worked as a maid in the big family, and when she came back, she told us that the ladies and wives in the big family would be like this. ”

Xi Xi also said: "Yes, she said, there are some people who are jealous in order to compete for the wind, and they use those subordinate methods, but they can do it!" ”

I looked at them, didn't know what to say for a moment, just smiled.

Xi Xi said softly: "Madam, does the son want to take that Miss Han as a concubine?" ”

I raised an eyebrow and looked at her in the mirror.

"How do you know?"

"We ......"

Seeing that they looked at each other on both sides, but they looked a little speechless, I said lightly: "Did you hear some ugly words?" ”

Recalling that day at the door of the inner courtyard, the maid had dared to ridicule me in front of everyone, naturally because she had seen some things clearly, and now Su Su left with wonderful words, I lived alone in the inner courtyard silently, and the people in this house were not stupid, and they probably saw the signs coming, but I was afraid that it would be even worse to speak.

It's no wonder that Xiaoni and Xi Xi want to leave, after all, following a master like me is just a day of eating and waiting for death.

However, when I said this, the two of them began to pour bitter water.

"Madam, you don't know, they talk too ugly, and they are too bullying."

"yes. As soon as Sister Su Su left, the small kitchen was no longer needed, so we went to the kitchen early this morning to wait for hot water, and waited for a long time, but they took the water away as soon as it was opened. ”

"We waited three times and were robbed three times by them."

"We don't quarrel with them at all, but they talk really badly. Madam, it's a shame that you didn't go out to hear those dirty ears. ”

……

I didn't hear it, but I could imagine it when they both said it.

I was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see." You don't have to worry, I'll let you leave when I talk to Childe later. ”

Since I had promised them, I naturally had to do it, so after breakfast, I cleaned up a little, and finally walked out of the room after a few days of almost secluded life.

The harsh sunlight outside made it a little difficult for me to adjust to it for a while.

And when I walked to the door of the inner courtyard, as expected, several attendants stood there, not familiar faces, and when they saw me come out, they all came forward and saluted respectfully: "Madam." ”

I glanced at them and said calmly, "Can I get out?" ”

"Of course, in this house, Madame is the master. We are here to protect Madame, not to take care of Madame. ”

I listened, but didn't speak, just looked at them faintly.

Sure enough, the man continued, "It's just that it's very chaotic outside these days. Madame can play freely in this house, so don't go out. ”

After speaking, he bowed to me respectfully.

I smiled faintly, and walked out of the inner courtyard towards the residence of the Han sisters.

This section of the road is not short, and it is even longer for me now, during which I also stop and go, and from time to time some attendants and maids see me, some come to greet me, and some are far away, and those expressions are also very exciting.

Following the road in my memory, I passed the racecourse and the peach forest, and finally arrived at the residence of the Han sisters.

Speaking of which, it has been so many years since I first came to Jinling Mansion to marry Pei Yuanxiu, and the farthest is that Pei Yuanxiu accompanied me and Miaoyan to play in that peach forest, and then - of course, it is also because I have never really been in harmony with the two sisters, and even after marrying him, I have always had scruples about this side and that pair of sisters, so for so many years, I have never set foot here.

The first time I came here, I found that this place behind the peach forest is such a beautiful place.

All the pavilions and pavilions are hidden behind shady green trees, and occasionally reveal a corner of the delicate eaves, which makes it more picturesque. The pavilions here are obviously some years old, with antiquity
