First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 683 boil

..............................

Eyes full of white.

White flags, white lanterns, white clothes...even people's faces are snow-white.

Because Mrs. Song couldn't bear the blows one after another and fell ill, and the Duke was paralyzed in bed again, Mrs. Song Shen, who was supposed to "rest" in the countryside, was brought back from the other village to help with Song Zixun's funeral.

In just one year, Shen seemed to be a different person. Not only was she haggard and older, but also because of the exhaustion of the journey, her whole body was sluggish, and she looked like an ordinary five or sixty-year-old woman.

On the contrary, she has a very capable round-faced nurse by her side. It is said that she is serving her personally in Biezhuang. Every day, she not only waits on her side every step of the way, but also asks about her health from time to time, and even helps give orders when Shen's spirit is not good. .

But at this moment in the palace, apart from Du Rongzhi, Shen Shuyan is probably the one who suffers the most.

Earlier, due to her family's brother's failure to live up to expectations, she repeatedly caused scandals, which had already made Shen Shuyan lose face, and then her aunt Shen fell out of favor, and was exposed by Madam Wei for having an affair with the father-in-law more than 20 years ago, forcing her to death For the "old case" of the original partner, Shen Shuyan felt that she couldn't hold her head up in front of the Song family.Fortunately, Song Zixi has never left her, and is constantly comforting and persuading her, which helped her slowly walk out of the previous haze.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of An Sheng's life, the eldest brother Song Zixun died suddenly, his father and grandmother fell ill one after another, and when the family was in a state of gloom and mist, the younger uncle and cousin Song Ziche suddenly pointed at Song Zixi in front of all the clansmen. He poisoned his father and put his grandmother under house arrest, but in the end it was revealed that he coveted his elder sister-in-law for many years, and that the two of them worked hand in hand...

Shen Shuyan was originally a gentle and kind-hearted person, she really couldn't think of any kind of affair between her cousin who was so bright and beautiful in the sun, and her sister-in-law who was deeply in love with her elder brother, but the facts couldn't help but she didn't believe it—— Because what she is even more unwilling and impossible to believe is that the husband she deeply admires and loves with her day and night will be a rebellious son who they say is unfaithful, filial and disregarding human relations.

Under such internal and external sufferings, Shen Shuyan found that she didn't even have anyone who could speak her own words: the Zhao family and Du Rongzhi who had always been friends with her had completely severed their contacts since then, and she could not be with Song Zixi. What to say in front of me——When she was in the most difficult time, Song Zixi never hated and complained. Now that she is in a different place, as a wife, she should trust him and support him.

But her conscience just made her feel uneasy, and she couldn't help but want to further explore the truth of the matter...

So this time, Shen's return relieved Shen Shuyan's anxiety to a great extent. She had a lot of things she wanted to say to Shen, and she also had a lot of confusion waiting for Shen to answer, although it didn't take long for her to find out in disappointment— ——My aunt is completely different from before.

I don't know if it's the life in Biezhuang that has wiped out all Shen's expectations for life, or the introspection of these days has made her deeply realize that the bad relationship with the Duke of the country was such a big mistake. The current Shen family is living like a walking dead.

On the day she came back, the old lady only sent someone to pass a message, and didn't ask her to kowtow, and even the Duke didn't allow her to visit, but made an exception to let her visit Song Ziche, who was still in confinement. .

The mother and son hugged each other and cried for a while in the room, and they didn't know what to say. When Shen came out of the room, the whole person became more and more silent—she didn't ask any more questions about Song Ziche's grounding. Li was planning Song Zixun's funeral step by step, and entertained the guests who came to express their condolences, but in private, he was often alone in a daze, as if his anger had been drawn away, even if he was facing his own niece , seems to have reached the point where there is nothing to say.

Although Shen Shuyan was very sad when she saw it, it was the grievances of the previous generation. As a junior, she had no choice but to do her best to make Shen's life in the government more comfortable.

..............................

The crying in the mourning hall was loud, and all the peers and juniors of Song Zixun's clan came, crying like tears.

Even the little brother Jing was put into filial piety early in the morning, and asked the wet nurse to hug and kneel on the ground.

The little guy just woke up and didn't know what happened. His round eyes were ignorant looking at a room full of strange faces who were crying to death. His eye circles couldn't help turning red when he looked at it, and he burst into tears with a "wow". stand up.

For a while, the baby was crying hysterically, the nursing mother was teasing and teasing, and the guests were crying with all their strength... All kinds of sounds were intertwined, making people dizzy and having a splitting headache.

Only Du Rongzhi, no matter how much she cried outside, she just knelt quietly in front of the coffin, burning paper money one after another on the brazier with a numb expression.

Guan'er knelt beside Du Rongzhi, with tears running down her face.

She has gradually grown up, and she also vaguely senses the undercurrents in the adult world: the fierce dispute between the second uncle and the mother, the mother's vigilant and resentful eyes every time the two meet; , I overheard Aunt Qinghe telling Nanny An that the second uncle has been threatening mother with his younger brother...

She didn't know what the second uncle was threatening her mother, and she didn't understand why everything around her changed in the blink of an eye—the father who promised to bring her a gift was gone, and the grandfather who loved her was lying on the bed and couldn't move. She often hides from her and washes her face with tears... And the second uncle, the second uncle who always smiles gently and patiently tells them stories, but everyone avoids her like a snake...

With tears streaming down her face, Guan'er pulled Du Rongzhi's sleeve, "Mother, Daddy... Is it true that Daddy won't come back again? Does he not want Guaner anymore?"

Du Rongzhi took a deep breath, and hugged her daughter forcefully, "Yes... your father will definitely come back..." As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.

As time passed day by day, even she herself didn't know...whether Song Zixun would come back or not.

She didn't even know what she would be like without him for the rest of her life...

All she knew was that she had to go on—for the sake of their two children, she could only grit her teeth and go on...

But what about him...

Does he know what kind of life they live?Do you know what kind of suffering his elders are suffering?
If he's still alive, why hasn't he come?

Or, he really... will never come back again...

Du Rongzhi held Guan'er in her arms and burst into tears, but she heard the loud voice from outside——

Master Du Er and his wife came with their daughter Du Rongqing.
