This is the first time Xie Yunchu has been married to Wang Shuhuai for eight years, and he has sent someone to urge him to go to the office.

The green clouds surged little by little to swallow the remnant sun, she lay on the kang under the window of the moon cave breathlessly, her body that had not healed for a long time was like a thin bamboo in winter, she could not bear the cold wind and trembled, she opened her bloodshot eyes, stared at the eaves of the courtyard gate through the screen window, and asked again and again in a hoarse voice,

"Haven't you come back yet?"

Wang Shuhuai is busy with official business, and she is also well-known for being cautious and virtuous, and she will not urge him unless she is forced to do so.

Chunqi stood on the side, glanced out with his eyes, holding back his tears and not daring to squeak.

Xie Yunchu snorted lightly, and a burning tear slid down from the corner of his withered eyes.

She married into the Wang family for eight years now, supporting her husband from the high-spirited Qipin Hanlin to the high-ranking and powerful cabinet chief, serving her in-laws can be called virtuous and filial piety, teaching her children can be described as hard, everything in the house is well organized, the family style is upright, and the house is prosperous.

What the eldest daughter-in-law of the family can do, she has done it, and what she can't do, she has also done.

But now she has been sick for less than half a year, and before she died, her stepmother sent her stepsister to the house treacherously and treacherously.

, she finally managed to get to the position of Mrs. Shoufu, so the stepmother and stepsister were worried about picking up ready-made?

What's even more hateful is that the in-laws who don't hesitate to respond to it.

Xie Yunchu didn't believe it at first, until he sent out his henchmen to confirm it several times, and after confirming the news, Xie Yunchu's mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat and eyes, and he almost couldn't get up from the bed.

In vain, she has been serving the second elder before and after the saddle, but when the in-laws saw that she was not successful, they hurriedly chose someone to take her place, without caring about her feelings.

She was still alive, and she was dead.

Xie Yunchu could no longer maintain his dignified and reserved manner, and urgently ordered the maid to deliver the message to Wang Shuhuai to return home.

It's a pity that the news was handed out in the morning, and a day passed, and Wang Shuhuai was not seen, let alone a word back.

Xie Yunchu's anger at the beginning also fell silent as the sun gradually sank in the west, leaving only a trace of desolation and unwillingness.

She was at the end of the crossbow, but today she has exhausted all her anger when she is angry, and now her eyes are withered and leaning on the pillow, only the breath that comes out but not the breath that enters.

The maid Chunqi saw that she was angry, her eyelids drooped blankly, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of death, and her heart ached, but she couldn't hold back her crying and comforted,

"Master, don't be angry, Hou Ye has always eaten and dressed well, and suddenly ascended to a high position, he must be so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, the remnants of the traitorous party have not been subdued to the law, Hou Ye can't take care of the family for a while, there are also some, you don't have to think too much, first raise your body well, the rest of the things don't matter, as long as you are well, then the Lu family mother and daughter will jump up and down in vain."

Xie Yunchu didn't understand this truth.

It's a pity that her body has long been empty.

In the past eight years, it is said that the white horse has passed through the gap, which can be summed up in a few words, but every time I think about it, I am sad and tearful.

Wang Shuhuai was born in a famous family, handsome, talented, and is the son of the ladies in the entire capital who wants to marry the most.

Xie Yunchu was satisfied and even happy to marry him.

But after marrying in, I learned that the door of the Guogong Mansion was difficult and dangerous, the interests of each house were tilted, the dark tide was surging, and life was not easy.

When she gave birth to her firstborn daughter, she was bleeding profusely, losing her body and falling ill.

Her in-laws asked her to give birth to a son as soon as possible, and she struggled.

Wang Shuhuai, who was born partially, was devoted to the government and was not in the house for half a month, Xie Yun saw that her husband was trying his best to run for the future, and it was not good to disturb him with the private troubles in the back house, so he swallowed his anger.

Fortunately, she endured the humiliation and gave birth to a son in the third year, and finally gained a firm foothold in the Guogong Mansion.

In the days to come, her husband is getting bigger and bigger, getting busier and busier, her in-laws are sick, she is serving the decoction, the door of the Guogong Mansion is difficult, it is she who stands in front of the second room to protect the honorable face, and the child has a headache and brain fever to live and study. Even if that person came back late, she boiled a bowl of ginseng and bird's nest porridge and handed over a hand-made robe.

In the past eight years, Xie Yunchu did not dare to shout tired, nor did he complain about the sky.

This is her responsibility as the eldest daughter-in-law.

Even if it's bitter, it's worth it.

But today I learned that she was not dead, and the "continuation string" had entered the door, and the family was in a hurry to switch to the "new master", Xie Yunchu was like a bird struck by lightning, and a paper kite with a rope twisted, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

So, after eight years of hard work, I made a wedding dress for someone?

Eight years of silent dedication, in the end, is just a tool that can be replaced at any time?

She thought that the favor of her in-laws, the kindness of her sisters, the filial piety of her mother and son, and the harmony of husband and wife were just a joke and a one-man show for her.

Everyone enjoyed her efforts, but kicked her away when she didn't use it.

Xie Yunchu smiled angrily.

She commanded Chunqi with difficulty,

"I'm afraid it won't work, you go to find Wang Shuhuai in person, I want to see him... See him for the last time. ”

She must ask in front of Wang Shuhuai to understand clearly.

Chunqi's eyes ached, and he covered his mouth and ran away.

The figure in front of her flashed, Xie Yunchu took a breath slowly, she closed her eyes and swallowed the sourness under her eyes, slowly adjusted her breathing, opened her eyes again, and her eyes touched the high table not far away, where there was a gold-painted purple clay pot, she was very thirsty, and her skinny hand trembled and stretched out.

Suddenly, a white and tender arm reached out and gently stopped her, and a crisp and lovely voice sounded in her ears,

"Sister wants tea, sister is here to serve you."

Xie Yunxiu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Yunchu's mouth.

She smiled lightly, her eyes were bright, and her narrow fox eyes bent out a touch of success, and when she looked closely, she didn't have any success, only a little eagerness and care remained.

Xie Yunchu opened his eyes, his eyes seemed to be pulled out of a dark hole, sticking to Xie Yunxiu's body motionless.

Stepmother Lu sent her stepsister Xie Yunxiu to the house for a few days on the pretext of taking care of her, and Xie Yunxiu has been in and out of the main courtyard frequently these days, and it is not strange to come to this bedroom now.

She gritted her teeth and slowly squeezed out an astringent voice, "How long?" ”

"Huh?" Xie Yunxiu's thin eyebrows frowned slightly, not quite understanding.

Xie Yunchu slowly leaned back on the pillow, trying his best to maintain the last decency, and asked expressionlessly, "I haven't married for so many years, how long have you been fighting this idea?" ”

Xie Yunxiu's body trembled slightly, he came back to his senses after a moment of confusion, the expression on his face became dull and detached, he stroked his skirt and sat down opposite Xie Yunchu, without hiding his ambition at all.

"The first time I saw him, I liked him."

Xie Yunchu's voice was slightly blocked, her throat rolled, like swallowing a mouthful of flies, she didn't remember when Xie Yunxiu and Wang Shuhuai first met, Xie Yunxiu obviously didn't want to elaborate, but looked at Sister Yan slowly, showing a puzzled smile.

"Sister, you are dying, if you are smart, you should plan as soon as possible and find a reliable person to take care of a pair of children for you, how can you be so stupid and show dissatisfaction?"

"It's not someone else, it's better to be me, at least I will treat a pair of children as my own, besides, Sister Ke and Brother Jue treat me affectionately, and the old lady is also familiar with me as a person, trust me, I marry, they will only be happy."

Xie Yunchu was so disgusted by these words that he couldn't breathe.

She has always been strict with her children, because the two children are more respectful to her and not affectionate, but it is Xie Yunxiu, the aunt, who always brings snacks to the two of them to please them.

Xie Yunchu suddenly realized that Xie Yunxiu had a plan for doing this?

The Lu family can tolerate that his daughter has been cultivating in the academy for many years but not marrying, is it possible that the mother and daughter have planned to drag her down early and replace her.

As soon as Xie Yunchu thought of this, her dull heartbeat was like a drum, anger was accompanied by remorse, and she almost burst into tears, but she had been in charge for many years, and she had her own bearing, and she didn't want to show weakness in front of Xie Yunxiu, the resentment was surging and rushing, and finally turned into an intermittent cough, she lay on the kang, her thin body trembled like cicada wings, and she made up a complete sentence in a long time,

"Even if your in-laws are satisfied with you...... Ke'er and Jue'er are also bewitched by you...... Wang Shuhuai would not agree. ”

Wang Shuhuai has always engraved the rules in his bones, not to mention that he has a little affection for her, even if he doesn't, it is impossible to be honest and welcome Xie Yunxiu early.

Less to say, he had to keep a mourning watch for her for a year.

Xie Yunxiu seemed to see through her thoughts, her slender hand gently curled her hanging hair, and said with a smile, "Mrs. confessed, this year she asked me to live in the house and take care of the two children, it's only been a year, I haven't taken it to heart, and more importantly, my brother-in-law's heart, isn't it?" ”

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, when my brother-in-law came back yesterday to greet my wife, my wife told my brother-in-law what it meant in front of my mother, what do you think my brother-in-law would do?"

Xie Yunchu's fingers on the kang bed grabbed suddenly, and his eyes stared at Xie Yunxiu without saying a word.

Xie Yunxiu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law didn't refute it. ”

Xie Yunchu's heart was so tense that the string broke with a bang.

No wonder he stood at her door for a long time last night and didn't come in.

She has been married to Wang Shuhuai for many years, and she knows this man too well, if he really disagrees, he will categorically refute it, and not saying anything means that he is weighing it, or even acquiescing.

The wife has not yet swallowed her breath, but she is thinking about the candidate for the continuation of the string, which shows that she is not affectionate.

Or maybe he is very satisfied with Xie Yunxiu, and he likes it.

The last light in Xie Yunchu's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his body fell heavily on the kang bed, holding the phlegm in his mouth that he would have time to spit out in the future, and his eyes gradually drifted.

Seeing her like this, Xie Yunxiu sighed leisurely, got up and pinched a snow handkerchief, leaned over to wipe it for her, and said earnestly,

"Sister, why are you doing this? It's been eight years, you don't really think that your brother-in-law has to be you, and he loves you deeply, right? ”

"Over the years, what has my brother-in-law done for you in addition to making meritorious contributions?"

Xie Yunchu's gray eyes rolled for half a circle, and then froze.

After eight years of marriage, Wang Shuhuai treated her gently and humbly, and the husband and wife shared weal and woe, adversity and adversity, one outside the palm and one inside, and cooperated very tacitly.

Outsiders are all envious of her for marrying a good man.

Lang Jun is really outstanding, but there is always something missing between husband and wife.

Xie Yunchu's mind came to Wang Shuhuai's clear face, his every move was full of rules, his eyebrows and smile were all covered with light, covered with a thin layer of alienated halo that could repel people thousands of miles away.

He is the person in the painting, Yaotai Immortal.

He never asked her, but he never spoke to her.

He had never blushed with her, but he had never been gentle with her.

She never really walked into his heart.

Maybe in Wang Shuhuai's eyes, she is not Xie Yunchu, she is just his wife, and he is the same if anyone is his wife.

Or perhaps, he likes a delicate and delicate woman like Xie Yunxiu.....

Xie Yunchu was dazed, and slowly closed her eyes, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to wait for him......

The last trace of afterglow fell on the screen window of the moon cave door, like a ray of light left in her life, in this beam of light, Xie Yunxiu's smug smile was clearly reflected, the calcium carbide fire flashed over Xie Yunchu's spiritual platform, all the grievances and unwillingness turned into a touch of anger, she almost grabbed Xie Yunxiu's outstretched hands without thinking, and let him pinch his neck, force, and force..... His eyes were staring straight up, and he let out a mournful cry in a desperate manner,

"Someone, help..."

The last scene in front of her was Xie Yunxiu's eyes wide in shock, there seemed to be light and shadow, there seemed to be a tide of voices, she couldn't see clearly, she couldn't distinguish clearly, she was tired, tired, she did everything she could, what the result was not something she could predict, she just wanted to take a break, take a good rest, and never make a stepping stone for others again.

No more serving.

*

Xie Yunchu slept too deeply, as if there was a boulder hanging under her head, forcing her to raise her head.

In the haze, she heard someone calling her, even pushing her.

She raised her eyelids vaguely and saw Chunqi's shadow shaking,

"Madam, wake up quickly, my lord is back."

Are you back?

Xie Yunchu shook his head violently, she finally couldn't help but want to question him personally, she wasn't dead yet, he was thinking about the continuation of the string, and he didn't know where the strength came from, Xie Yunchu didn't care about the messy clothes, he sat up, and stared at the direction of the door with a pair of eyes with the cold air of Bing Lingling.

Soon, the spring curtain was lifted, the floating light surged, and a tall and straight figure crossed in.

Xie Yunchu didn't pretend to be virtuous, and he didn't want to be decent, his cheeks were covered with a layer of frost, and he sneered,

"You're back!" The tone was clearly intertwined with sarcasm.

The figure under the curtain stagnated.

Xie Yunchu's eyes turned to the past, and when he saw the handsome face clearly, his expression changed suddenly.
