I smiled calmly: "Oh? Why is this?"

Han Zitong seemed very tired and said lightly: "I rejected this marriage with Ao Zhi, so naturally that Miss Ao Jiayu will marry Yuan Xiu. I thought of this before."

I said, "It's rare."

She glanced at me: "What do you mean? You mean, it's rare that I think so much?"

"I mean, it's rare that you can accept such a result."

“…”

"Isn't it hope you love him so much-"

"I don't have that hope," she quickly interrupted me. Although she said "no", I clearly saw the indescribable pain in her eyes and said sadly: "I know that there is no one woman around him. From the day when my sister and I were about to work with him, I knew that a man like him was like a teapot, how could he be matched with only one teacup?"

“…”

"Slowly, he will have many women."

"and you--"

"What?"

"Since he has many women, why haven't you been one of those many women yet?"

"I," her eyes flashed, as if tears were about to flow out: "I can't."

"Why can't it?"

She gritted her teeth and didn't speak immediately, and the fingertips of the hand that was on the edge of the table were like bamboo leaves in the wind outside the house, trembling as if they were about to fall at any time. After a while, I heard her choking and saying, "There can only be a daughter of the Han family beside him."

“…”

"My sister has married him, so I can't-"

"Why?"

"Don't ask."

"Why can't you ask? Is there anything you can't say until now?"

She seemed to be unable to hold on anymore. In fact, I don’t know what was supporting her to answer so many questions just now. Maybe it was at this most vulnerable moment that she really needed a confidant. Even if the person in front of her was me, now she seemed to have encountered a taboo, closed her mouth, held the table and stood up barely, then turned around and walked back.

I barely supported myself and sat on the head of the bed, watching the door of her room close.

Even, you can hear the faint sobs coming from inside.

I don’t know how long it took, a sentence suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn’t help but murmur: “The Han family has a daughter who will be in the world…”

Perhaps because so many things happened early in the morning and those words to me, Han Zitong was in a depressed mood. Since then, she has never left her room again. I am the only one to have lunch.

I barely filled a bowl of rice with a smell of chewing wax, half a bowl of soup into my stomach, and then climbed onto the bed with a lot of worries to take a nap.

The sunlight casts the shadow of bamboo leaves on the window, shaking it, making my mood even more confused.

It's only ten days before the seventh day of November.

Pei Yuanxiu could not think about this marriage for too long. If it is as fast as possible, it can be decided today. Once it is decided, many things will be started - not to mention that there is also a Han Ruoshi who has just taken office and can help.

I didn't quite understand why she suddenly transformed into such a generous and considerate wife, but I also understood from Han Zitong's words just now that her performance was a bit abnormal the previous two days, probably because she was worried that Han Zitong would steal her position. Now that she knew that Han Zitong did not have such ambition, she changed her mind and naturally wanted to be her gentle and considerate wife in front of her husband. After all, Ao Jiayu is not surnamed Han.

Her position is hard to shake.

This way, the marriage may be settled soon and implemented, and it may even be before the seventh day of November.

The situation, as I expected, was even better.

I just hope that there will be no more surprises in the future.

I thought about this, looking at the chaotic leaves on the window, I finally felt a little tired and slowly closed my eyes.

In the hazy, I seemed to hear the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves outside. The wind even blew the door open. A pair of calm and light steps slowly walked in and walked to the head of the bed.

A gentle hand gently stroked my forehead, lifted the messy hair away, and then slowly walked down the outline of my cheeks, rubbing my face with a firm fingertip. I was sleeping in a daze. Looking at the blurry figure in front of me, I heard a low voice in my ear, as if I had endless sadness and said softly: "Do you really have no feeling at all?"

“…”

"Even if it's hatred?"

“…”

“Lighty?”

“…”

"Light..."

In such gentle comfort and dreamy words, I fell into a deeper sleep. In the dream, there was a green bamboo leaf shaking with the wind, drizzling, and countless cool raindrops fell on my face. The cold feeling made me suddenly wake up.

He opened his eyes all at once.

There was no one beside the bed.

I subconsciously sat up, but when I moved like this, I felt a soreness in my ankle. Fortunately, it was not serious. I took a breath of air conditioning, barely stood up, and slowly walked to the door.

The door was covered in vain. When I opened it, I saw that it was getting dark outside.

I actually slept for so long.

When he heard the door was pushed open, a girl hurried over outside and said, "Ms. Yan has a rest?"

My face turned red and I said, "It's so late?"

She said, "The young master came in the afternoon and guarded Miss Yan for a while. She said that the lady was injured and she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Let us not disturb the lady's rest."

My breathing was suffocated.

He is really here?

My mind was a little confused, and I hurriedly said, "What did he do?"

The girl shook her head: "No. The young master just sat next to the lady's bed, but she sat for a long time until the hour of You, when Prince Ao sent someone to invite him, he left."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ao Zhi?"

"Yes."

"They-" I subconsciously wanted to ask them if they had decided on something, but then I thought that they probably didn't know much, and Xie Feng said hello, and he probably wouldn't say anything to me after knowing it. So I smiled and said, "I'm so embarrassed. I've been sleeping until now, and Bai asked the young master to wait for so long. Does he have something to explain to me? Where is he now? I'll go find him."

The girl hurriedly said, "Young Master is talking in the study and told me not to disturb you."

"oh?"

I raised my eyebrows and asked again, "Where is Prince Ao? I disturbed their brother and sister during the day, so it's time to go over and say hello."

The girl blinked her big eyes: "Crown Prince Ao and his sister are also in the study."

"oh……"

This time, I didn't ask anything more.

Standing on the steps, although there is a lush bamboo forest in front of you, it is difficult to see the situation outside the inner courtyard or outside, but you can still feel that the atmosphere in the entire Jinling Mansion seems to be a little different from before.

There is a feeling of a big thing coming.

I stood quietly for a while, then smiled and said, "I understand, then I won't bother them to discuss the important matter. If they come, tell them I'm free."

The girl nodded, turned around and walked out.

I turned around and walked back to my room, looked at the wind blowing outside, listened to the noisy voices from afar, and slowly closed the door.

In the next two days, Pei Yuanxiu did not come to the inner courtyard.

I didn't go out either.

But the Jinling Mansion was really busy.

In the past two days, Han Zitong's spirit has become worse and worse. When I wake up early in the morning, I often see her standing in front of the door wearing only a thin dress, staring blankly outside. She clearly can't see anything, but her eyes seem to penetrate the calm bamboo forest and the layers of high walls, and see everything outside.

A gust of wind blew, and the dew spilled often made her wet all over, and she didn't feel anything at all.

I think she will sooner or later become seriously ill.

Sure enough, on that evening, when it was time to have supper, the food was ready, but she didn't show up for a long time. Xiaoqian walked into her room to invite her, and then ran out in panic.

Asked the doctor to see, she fell ill.

My whole body was as hot as a piece of red carbon, but my face was pale and I was not awake. Only my dry and cracked lips kept trembling, and I was calling someone's name softly.

I heard this and sighed.

I asked Xiaoqian: "Look outside, is the young master here? If it is-"

Xiaoqian said in embarrassment: "I had already asked when I went out to hire a doctor, saying that the young master went out to do business and would not come back for a while."

“…go out to do business? What’s the matter?”

"I don't know this."

"Then you go out and have a look. At least, don't only know about your second lady's illness."

"Um."
