Aunt Lin had a serious illness. She was once a beautiful and bright person, but she aged rapidly since her daughter's death. She was not very old, but she had white hair on her temples. After she pulled out one white hair, another would grow back.
Aunt Lin never wore gold or silver again, and she dressed very plainly every day. She originally did not believe in Buddhism, but now she has set up a small Buddhist temple in her room. Even if she is not feeling well, she will get up from the bed, kneel before the Buddha, and pray devoutly.
She only has one child, Song Luan. Now that she is seriously ill, few people come to see her. This is not surprising. Aunt Lin has a hot temper and does not get along well with the other concubines of the Song family. The remaining children of the Song family are either married or still young.
Song Heqing did come to see her twice. After his beloved sister passed away, he lost a lot of weight. Although he never shed tears in front of outsiders, the sadness and grief in his heart were real.
He still couldn't believe that Zhao Nanyu would kill his sister. The affection in that man's eyes when he looked at his sister was real. He also believed that Zhao Nanyu killed her because he still hated his sister for what she had done in the past.
But now the Song family is no longer what it used to be, and my father’s life is almost in danger. He couldn't help his sister get revenge, otherwise he would definitely ask Zhao Nanyu to pay with his life.
Aunt Lin leaned against the bed with a pale face, coughing and laughing, and asked: "Did you dream about A-Luan?"
Song Heqing gave her a sip of water and shook his head, "No."
Aunt Lin went on to say, "I've dreamt about her several times. She told me it was so cold down there, there was nothing, she couldn't eat enough, she couldn't wear warm clothes, and she was bullied every day. My daughter, born in a golden age, was suffering so miserably. I don't want to live anymore, so I might as well go down with her. As her mother, I can still protect her if I go down there."
Aunt Lin still remembers how Song Luan looked when he was just born. He was much prettier than other children. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He closed his eyes tightly, clenched his white little hands into two small fists, and kicked his feet around. He was so cute.
The doctor also told Song Heqing that unless Aunt Lin resolved the depression in her heart, her illness would never be cured.
But Song Luan was already dead, and Song Heqing could not find a way to cure her heart disease.
But words of comfort still need to be said.
"You need to take care of yourself so that Alua can leave with peace of mind."
Aunt Lin could no longer listen to anything else and could not find hope to continue living.
Song Heqing gritted his teeth and said, "If you follow her, then there will be no way to avenge Ah Luan."
These words were just to give her an idea to live.
Aunt Lin was also very clear about this. She smiled mockingly and said, "Even if I am alive, I cannot help my daughter to avenge her."
Aunt Lin now gnashed her teeth in hatred when she thought of the day when Zhao Nanyu held the corpse and refused to let anyone touch it. It was not enough that he killed her daughter, but in the end he also burned her daughter's body.
The servant guarding the gate suddenly came over to report, "Master, someone from the Zhao family has arrived."
After hearing this, Aunt Lin's face turned grim and she growled, "Tell them to go back! If they refuse to leave, beat them to death."
“But…but…but the one who came is Young Master Zhao Shi…”
Aunt Lin's expression looked a little better. The Zhao family and the Song family had fallen out a long time ago and no longer had any contact with each other. Shi Ge'er had never been to the Song family again. He was not very familiar with the people here.
Aunt Lin held on for a breath and said slowly, "Bring the child in."
Shi Ge'er walked into the room expressionlessly and knelt down beside the bed, "Hello, grandma."
Aunt Lin didn't look happy when facing this child who was half Zhao Nanyu's blood. She asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Shi Ge'er raised his clean face, his eyes slightly red, "My mother doesn't want me anymore, and my grandmother doesn't want me either?"
He is selling pity.
Aunt Lin did soften her heart, and her tone was no longer as cold and hard as before. After easing up a bit, she said, "If you want to come to the Song family again in the future, no one will stop you."
Looking at this face that looked similar to Zhao Nanyu, Aunt Lin couldn't utter any soft words.
Shi Ge'er hung his head, lowered his eyes, his dark eyes were dull, and he whispered, "Father is going to marry someone else."
Aunt Lin almost couldn't breathe and pinched her hands tightly, "What!? He actually dared to..."
How long has it been since A-Luan died? ! Zhao Nanyu couldn't wait to bring the wild kid home, for he was afraid that the two of them would get entangled before Aluan died!
Shi Ge'er's black eyes were fixed on the carpet motionlessly, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He simply wanted that woman to die.
He had only one mother.
Shi Ge'er knew that he was too young and could not kill the man by himself, so he came to find his grandmother.
At such a young age, he already knows how to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Shi Ge'er hated the woman in his father's arms. Even he couldn't see her. His father hid her so well, he must like her very much.
Shi Ge'er knelt on the ground and cried silently.
Aunt Lin was furious, "Okay, Zhao Nanyu really went too far."
She looked into his eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "Your father is really capable of doing this."
Song Heqing was afraid that she would say inappropriate words in front of the child. No matter what Zhao Nanyu was like, Shiger was always innocent and looked pitiful.
If Shi Ge'er knew that his mother was killed by his father, he would probably never be happy in his life.
He held Shige'er in his arms, touched his face, and sighed, "No one will abandon you. If you are unhappy, come and play with your uncle. Your father won't say anything if he knows."
Shige nodded, "Okay."
Aunt Lin was so angry that she hated Zhao Nanyu so much that she said to the child, "Is there anything your father couldn't do? Huh? He even stabbed your mother to death with his own hands."
Shi Ge'er's previous tears were all pretended, but this time he was really crying. With a "plop", tears rolled down one by one and fell on his cuffs.
Song Heqing frowned and said to Aunt Lin: "Don't be so blunt!"
"Did I say something wrong? Can't he listen? When he grows up and knows nothing, he might even blame A-luan! What can't be said? How could Zhao Nanyu dare to do it and be afraid of what others say?! What a joke!" Aunt Lin laughed out loud, as if she had gone crazy.
Song Heqing had no choice but to carry Shiger out first.
After this incident, Aunt Lin started to take her medicine properly.
I think he was quite stimulated.
After Shi Ge'er returned home, he started to lose his temper, refused to eat properly and threw things around.
When the butler was reporting, Song Luan was listening quietly beside him. I clenched the chopsticks in my hand, my heart beating fast.
Zhao Nanyu stood up and said calmly, "I'll go over and take a look."
Song Luan grabbed his arm and looked at him eagerly, "I want to go too..."
Zhao Nanyu touched her face affectionately and said, "It's not the right time yet."
He has been using this sentence to get rid of her these past two days.
Song Luan felt that Zhao Nanyu just wanted her to surrender and watch her stay by her side willingly. He would not be satisfied until she lived a humble life in the territory he had designated.
Looking at Zhao Nanyu's back, Song Luan thought silently that everything the man said was bullshit. Don't believe a single word of it.
Zhao Nanyu had previously said that she would not be locked up anymore, but when she woke up from a hangover that day, there was a mute maid serving her personally.
At first, Song Luan thought that Zhao Nanyu didn't allow them to talk to her. Later, she was sure that she was a mute, and she was not born mute, but someone pulled out her tongue.
Song Luan felt a chill in her heart and was even a little scared. Just thinking about having her tongue pulled out made her feel painful. However, this was definitely not done by Zhao Nanyu himself. He would not harm a maid with his own hands.
Most of the time, he only needs to say a few words and the people below will understand what he means.
Song Luan didn't know sign language and the little maid was illiterate, so the two had no way of communicating at all.
Song Luan did ask the housekeeper what was going on with her tongue? The housekeeper replied, "She made a mistake before and had her tongue plucked out and sold by the master. I took pity on her and saw that she was diligent, so I brought her back to the mansion. If you don't like her, I will replace her immediately."
Song Luan waved her hand, "No need."
If I continue to change, I will probably still be a mute.
Song Luan couldn't figure out how Zhao Nanyu had turned into such a evil person. She was the only one who was suffering from the pain! His path to success is even smoother than in the original novel. Without a path in mind, he would become as black as a piece of charcoal.
She lay on the bed, looking down at the marks on her body and sighing. Although Zhao Nanyu could not be said to be pure and aloof before, he was indeed much better than he is now, and he was also well-dressed. But now he is really a beast in bed.
Song Luan couldn't remember exactly what she said that night, but she could guess that it was definitely something Zhao Nanyu didn't like to hear. When he got up later, his face didn't look very good.
Song Luan no longer planned to argue with Zhao Nanyu. Since she couldn't beat Zhao Nanyu, she gave in.
It's just a surrender, no big deal.
When Zhao Nanyu went over, the child's eyes were swollen, and it seemed that he had been crying.
He asked, "What's wrong? Refusing to eat is the most childish thing to do. You are not an ignorant child."
When Shi Ge'er looked up at him with his eyes fixed on him, he looked very much like Song Luan.
"Did you really kill my mother?"
Shi Ge'er only remembered that he talked to his mother that day and then disappeared at night.
He didn't believe it, but he also felt that his grandmother would not lie to him about such a thing.
Zhao Nanyu's long fingers tapped the table intentionally or unintentionally, and he spoke slowly, "Who told you that?"
Shi Ge'er said: "Someone told me."
A cold light flashed in Zhao Nanyu's eyes. He sneered and ordered the followers outside the room, "Go and find out who is gossiping in front of the young master and beat him to death."
Shi Ge'er also got stubborn, "You don't need to check, it was my grandmother who told me, are you going to kill her too?"
Zhao Nanyu was silent for a long time, then just said: "Your mother will come back."
The servant who delivered the message ran back and forth, his legs almost broke, his mouth was dry, and his throat felt like it was smoking.
"Sir, the lady said she has a stomachache and asked you to go back quickly."
Zhao Nanyu glanced at Shige'er and said before leaving: "Eat well and don't make trouble."
These eight simple words already showed that he was on the verge of anger.
The hatred in Shi Ge'er's black eyes deepened a lot, and he now wanted to kill the hidden woman.
Does she deserve to be called Madam?
It is obvious that the person my father loves the most is my mother, but now she can easily call my father away with just a few words.
Shi Ge'er lowered his eyes and remained silent, thinking that he would definitely kill her.
Song Luan started to get anxious after waiting for a long time for Zhao Nanyu to come back. Since Shi Ge'er refused to eat and was sullen, Zhao Nanyu would definitely punish him severely. If she called him back, Shi Ge'er would not be punished.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the house.
Song Luan immediately lay down on the bed and hummed twice in a pretentious manner.
Zhao Nanyu approached and saw through her pretense at a glance. He did not expose her, but asked: "Does it still hurt?"
Song Luan held her stomach and nodded, "It hurts."
Zhao Nanyu sat down beside her, the sunlight shone on his porcelain-white face, his features were regular, and there was a faint smile hidden in the depths of his eyebrows. He placed his palm on her lower abdomen and rubbed it gently.
"Are you feeling better?"
Song Luan was almost falling asleep from his rubbing, and she replied, "Much better."
Zhao Nanyu continued to rub her belly, saying, "I don't think this is enough. I asked the kitchen to make you some painkillers. You must drink them all in a while."
Song Luan frowned, "I don't want it. I don't want to drink."
But she had no choice. After the medicine was boiled, it was brought to her.
Song Luan covered her nose and drank half a bowl of wine. After drinking it, there was no candied fruit to get rid of the smell.
She had a bitter face, and Zhao Nanyu must have seen through her little tricks and was deliberately punishing her.
Song Luan raised her eyes, looked at him seriously, and suddenly said, "Zhao Nanyu, bring Shi Ge'er to me."
Zhao Nanyu hummed softly.
Song Luan felt that he was just trying to fool her. There was still a bitter taste in her mouth. She continued, "Let's live a good life. I will stay by your side and not run away. I will be very obedient."
After hearing this, Zhao Nanyu pulled the corners of his mouth up slightly, but the smile was a bit ugly, "Aluan, do you like me?"
Song Luan opened his mouth and was about to say the word "like", but his throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't utter the two words.
She tried to speak, but no sound came out. It was as if someone was strangling her throat and stopping her from speaking.
The curve of Zhao Nanyu's mouth slowly dropped, he raised his hand to touch her lips, and whispered softly, "Why don't you speak?"
He just thought she liked him too.
Song Luan was stunned, puzzled, bewildered and at a loss.
She couldn't be moved by Zhao Nanyu. This was clearly a face she had liked before, but now she didn't even feel blushing or her heart beating fast at all.
Song Luan was even a little confused. Why was he so obsessed with these words? She has already said that she won't run away, is there anything else she needs to do?
Zhao Nanyu kissed her on the lips and looked at her confused eyes, feeling hopeless.
Song Luan felt that he seemed very sad. Every time Zhao Nanyu kissed her, she would feel very good, but this time it seemed different.
Song Luan herself also realized that her heart seemed to no longer beat for the person in front of her.
Song Luan stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him hard on the corner of his mouth.
That's good.
Zhao Nanyu would not force her to say that she liked him.
One kiss and all your worries will be gone.
Her kiss was sweet, sweet and delicious.
