Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

wedge

There was a disgusting musty smell in the dark room, and the dusty electric fan squeaked loudly, but it couldn't hide the rapid breathing in the room. At this moment, Xie Xiangning, who was lying on the bed, was already thin I lost my human form.

In the past, she enjoyed the game of Vanity Fair, liked the thrill of victory, and did everything she could to gain a foothold in the business circle.How extravagant he used to live, but now he is waiting to die in this dilapidated hotel, maybe there is no one to collect the body in the end.

Xie Xiangning looked at the yellowed ceiling, recalling the past year and a half, the story that happened to him was much more bloody than the TV series. At the age of 28, the third stage of gastric cancer was detected, and the bank account was seized due to economic crimes. Her husband Mingzhe filed for divorce. The mother thought that her disease could not be cured and took the last life-saving money. All bad things came one after another as if they had been negotiated. , not even giving her a chance to rest.

Thinking of all the past events, Xie Xiangning inevitably laughed at herself. She could bear the disease and poverty, but the choice of two relatives broke her last psychological defense.

Life is alive, this is really true, self-inflicted can't live.

Xu Shi felt that his time was approaching, Xie Xiangning slowly closed his eyes, thinking silently: If there is an afterlife, he must not let Qian Quan fool his eyes anymore, but only hope that his life will be safe and healthy, even if it is ordinary until old age.

When she was dying, Xie Xiangning felt that she was in the dark, and the fear of death made her cry for help hysterically, waiting anxiously for the response of others, but the answer was only a dead silence.

Just when she was about to give up, she saw a ray of white light appearing in the distance, and a gentle voice said to her: "Little girl, you can't die if I'm here."

The sound is like the summer breeze blowing over the mulberry leaves in the shade, it is an irresistible, refreshing peace and serenity.

With just one sentence, the tense Xuan in Xie Xiangning's heart finally relaxed, and she instinctively walked slowly towards the white light in front of her.

Chapter 1 The eldest lady is a white lotus

It's midsummer, and it's just past time.Thunder roared outside, and it was about to usher in a downpour.There was a rush of footsteps outside the north door of the Zhao Mansion, and Cuiwei, the maidservant of the main wife, pushed open the door, leaned over and whispered in the ear of the housewife, Yu Shi: "Mistress, Aunt Jin's room is passed down." If you come, the third girl is afraid that she will die. The fever is so bad that she vomited all the medicine she took before. Maybe if you turn around, you will disappear..."

Mrs. Yu didn't answer, and fiddled with the tortoiseshell hairpin on her head calmly in front of the bronze mirror. She felt that the hairpin matched her with charm, and liked it very much.

Cuiwei saw that her wife was so inattentive, she was angry and anxious, and said: "Aunt Jin always dominates the master, and she hasn't come to the big lady's room for a month! No matter how beautiful your hairpin is, the master doesn't like it." Opportunity to watch. Normally, the people in Aunt Jin's yard are too deceitful, but now Aunt Jin has committed a serious crime and hid it from the master. This is a good opportunity for you to get it back. It's good for you, show this hairpin in front of the bronze mirror , in no hurry."

Mrs. Yu knew that Cuiwei cared about her, so she didn't blame her for breaking the rules. Instead, she comforted her: "Aunt Jin has broken her relationship with her sons and daughters because of the master in this life. Why should the master spoil her so much?"

"If she was a kind person, I wouldn't target her like this. But how many foolish things has she done to you these years? You two have known each other since childhood, and handkerchiefs are exchanged, but she took advantage of your pregnancy The fourth girl was with the master when she was young, and when she entered the mansion, she relied on the favor of the master and made things difficult for you. Only a kind-hearted person like you can tolerate such an obscene person." Cui Wei The more he talked, the angrier he became, he gritted his teeth and wished he could eat the meat of this vixen.

Yu Shi smiled, tapped Cuiwei on the head, and said, "Why do you remember these things so clearly? It's been so long. You go to work first, and I'll find the master later."

Cuiwei had no choice but to agree with Mrs. Yu and leave the room.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Yu's complexion was a little dignified, and finally she tidied up her clothes and went to the study alone.

After entering the study, Zhao Chi was processing the paperwork, and Yu Shi did not speak in a hurry, and asked Qi Fang to wait outside the door, and went to Zhao Chi's side to refill his ink and tea.

Zhao Chi finished the notebook in his hand, looked up at Mrs. Yu, and said coldly: "On weekdays, you never come to the study to disturb me. If you came today, there must be something important, but you didn't say a word. Is this going to whet my appetite?"

Yu lowered her eyebrows and said in a soft voice: "There is one thing, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Zhao Chi looked at himself, the plainly dressed, old-fashioned housewife, who was a little upset.But at the age of 24, everything from dressing to talking is extremely boring. The marriage that my father refers to really hurts me.

Although he doesn't like Mrs. Yu in his heart, but when he thinks that she has given birth to her own children and managed the huge Zhao family, she has worked hard without any credit, and I still have some respect for her from the bottom of my heart.

"Just say something."

"How long has the master not seen the third girl?" Yu asked tentatively.

When Zhao Chi heard Mrs. Yu mention Zhao Jinshu, he frowned slightly, and said impatiently, "Is that girl causing trouble again?"

Zhao Jinshu was originally born to Tao Yi, Zhao Chi's housemaid. Zhao Chi regarded her as a sexual object and a daughter, so naturally he didn't take much care of the mother and daughter.

Zhao's mansion is short-handed, and Tao Yi can't finish her own work on weekdays, so she doesn't care about taking care of her children.Her father didn't love her, her mother didn't love her, and she was never disciplined since she was a child. As a result, Jinshu's character was like a runaway horse, and she often made the Zhao family run wild.

Later, Tao Yi got seriously ill and died. It happened that Aunt Jin suffered a miscarriage and was unable to conceive again in this life. Zhao Chi thought she was pitiful, so he passed the child that should have been taken care of by Mrs. Yu to Aunt Jin.

Although Jin Shu was raised in Aunt Jin's room, she was still stubborn and made trouble everywhere.Zhao Chi felt that Aunt Jin couldn't be blamed for this matter. This girl hadn't been taught well since she was a child, and no matter how she handed it over to anyone, she couldn't change her temper.Since the child was passed to Aunt Jin, intervening at this time would only show distrust of her, so Zhao Chi simply let it go, thinking that she is still a concubine anyway, so he can just find a small family and marry off in the future.

Thinking of Jin Shu's stupid things these years, Zhao Chi really had a headache.It sounded that Mrs. Yu came here specifically to mention her, so I guess she caused some serious trouble.

Mrs. Yu shook her head, and then said: "Yesterday, the third girl took advantage of Mama Qi and Pingyue to chat, and ran to the lotus pond in the backyard to catch fish, but she accidentally fell into the water. When Mama Qi and the others found out, I don't know how long the child has been soaking in the water. After carrying him back to the house, Mingruo invited a doctor, but today I heard that the child vomited out all the medicine and the high fever persisted. If it is later... I am worried that something will happen to the child ."

When Zhao Chi heard this, he felt very unhappy. Although Jinshu was not popular, she was still his daughter.The child was almost lost after such a big incident happened, but Jin Mingruo, who was born as a adoptive mother, didn't say a word about it.What is even more troublesome is that the head mistress said these words to herself. Even if she wanted to protect Jin Mingruo, if Mrs. Yu got into trouble with the child, he would not be able to protect her.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi stared at Shi Yu's expression without saying a word, doubting what Shi Yu said to himself.Is this person in front of you a heartbroken child?Or is he trying to get Aunt Jin away by this trick?
