030 Bitterness and Love
Mrs. Lin and Xiao Li did not go far.
After waving away the maid, the two of them sat on a bamboo chair on the edge of the bamboo forest, quietly listening to the laughter and laughter over there. The moonlight shone in a quiet atmosphere.
After a long time, Mrs. Lin stood up and said softly: "It's cool, let's go back."
In such a night, Xiao Li's face was as white as the moonlight, which was very ugly. She took a deep breath, letting the cold air she swallowed relieve the indescribable anxiety in her heart, and then she nodded.
Said: "Go back."
Mrs. Lin looked at her, couldn't help but hold her hands, and consoled her: "After so many years, you should be more open-minded. Think about it, you still have a lot of days to spend in the future, could it always be like this?
Go down?"
Little Li moved her mouth, as if she didn't know how to speak, so she remained silent.
The gentle footsteps of the two people seemed to become heavier in such a quiet and cool night.
They walked out of the shadow of the bamboo forest, walked on the fallen leaves on the bluestone slabs, which made a clear and crisp crackling sound. They walked into the rich fragrance of golden osmanthus and walked out again, walking onto the pavilion outside Yumoxuan.
Arch bridge, the bright laughter of those girls can no longer be heard.
"When I was not married into the Lin family, my mother told me..." Little Li said leisurely: "A concubine with nothing outstanding in all aspects married into the Lin family of a noble family to fill a house.
, although it was just to fill a house, but the man was talented and in his prime... Such a good marriage definitely deserves the indescribable gratitude of the concubine. And after the concubine got married, she didn't even have a concubine to live with, so she couldn't live a normal life.
Such comfort...shouldn't she be grateful to the Li family, especially herself, for facilitating this marriage?"
"So, my mother thinks that if I marry the second master and become my aunt's daughter-in-law, there will definitely be no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems, and my life will definitely be good." Little Li's voice was dreamlike and unreal:
"I know that in the eyes of outsiders, I do have a good life. How come I don't have a good life?"
"Look," Mrs. Li lowered her head, spread her palms under the white moon, and murmured in a voice like a whisper: "I have both children: my legitimate son is several years older than my concubine, and my legitimate daughter is also several years older than my concubine. It can't affect me.
My husband respects me very much and always stands by my side in the back house, so the two aunts don’t dare to be presumptuous at all, and they also give me a reputation as a virtuous person...I never lack
Money, my husband is willing to pay for any of my expenses...I..."
After a pause, Little Li raised her head, looked at Mrs. Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, look, what's wrong with me?"
Tears suddenly slid down quietly from her pale and thin face.
Little Li quickly lowered her head and buried her face in the darkness.
Mrs. Lin was speechless and could only hand her a handkerchief.
Yes, what is wrong with little Li's life? Her mother-in-law rarely makes things difficult for her, her husband respects her, and her aunt is obedient; her children below are well-behaved, and her concubines and concubines are well-behaved... If we must say that little Li's life is not good, then this
There are not many ladies in Daxian who live a good life!
But unfortunately, little Li felt very bitter in her heart.
There is suffering that cannot be expressed, which makes it even more painful.
In such a quiet and cool night, when she took Mrs. Lin's handkerchief and accidentally touched Mrs. Lin's warm and clean skin, little Li's hands involuntarily followed the warmth and held her hand, leaning against her.
Mrs. Lin began to cry softly.
Mrs. Lin patted her back gently, once, and again.
After a long time, little Li finally calmed down.
She wiped her face with a handkerchief, raised her head, and smiled.
"Sister-in-law, you are right." The pain and the heaviness that she didn't know how to come from in Xiao Li's heart seemed to flow out with her tears. At this time, her smile looked so relaxed and thorough: "I'm sorry.
It’s time to figure it out. As for the second master... let him go."
Xiao Li feels bitter just because she loves Mr. Lin. It is not the love of other wives for their husbands like Daxian, but the love of a woman for a man...
Because of love, it is painful.
Mrs. Lin originally wanted to say something about what men are like, but thinking about her marriage, she closed her mouth and patted Little Li again to express her concern.
At the intersection, Mrs. Li proposed to go back, but Mrs. Lin did not persuade her to stay. She just told her to have some dinner, at least some hot soup or porridge.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of myself." Xiao Li said with a smile.
After seeing off Little Li, Mrs. Lin's footsteps became even slower.
Under the moonlight, her brows knitted together deeply, causing several deep wrinkles to appear on her still smooth forehead.
She walked very slowly, until the moon in the sky was a little tilted, and she didn't go very far.
"What are you thinking about?"
A gentle voice rang in her ears. Mrs. Lin knew who the person beside her was without raising her head. She did not answer, but asked: "Why are you here?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I went back and heard from Grandma Feng that you neither ate at Yumoxuan nor with your siblings, so I came out to look for you." Lin Shiqing smiled with a little warmth and teased slightly: "Fortunately,
I've found you. According to your method, if I don't find you, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Pine Forest Courtyard at dawn."
Taking a large cloak from the maid's hand and putting it on Mrs. Lin, Lin Shiqing said: "If you're more exposed, or if you're hungry after a busy day, don't stay out for too long. Is there any problem that we can't solve together?"
"
Mrs. Lin stopped.
She held the edge of the cloak with her hands, feeling the warmth. She turned slightly and stood firmly in front of Lin Shiqing, looking at him carefully and seriously.
This man is her Feng Rongqing's man.
She was so lucky that she met him, fell in love with him, and became his wife. She was even more lucky that he also loved her.
Yes.
Feng Rongqing believed that Lin Shiqing loved her, just like a man loves a woman, not the kind of love that a good husband has to be responsible for his wife. In other words, it was not love at first but just because of responsibility. Now, after
After knowing each other for more than ten years, it must be love.
Mrs. Lin didn't look at it for too long. She just took note of her husband's face, which seemed younger and more handsome under the moon, then removed her eyes, turned around, and walked forward again.
"Zhao Shiyan is very good, his appearance, his literary and martial arts, his achievements at a young age... these can easily capture the heart of a girl, especially if that girl happens to be his fiancée...
