Although the questions in her heart have been answered, Yuan Miaoyi still wants to see Xiao Liuhua.
Afraid that Xiao Liuhua didn't want to see anyone, Yuan Miaoyi went to see the third lady first to ask her what she meant.
The third lady had already heard about yesterday's events from Mrs. Xiao's second wife. When she thought that Mrs. Duan had suffered such a big defeat at the hands of Yuan Miaoyi and had no place to spread her anger, the third lady felt comfortable all over.
When Yuan Miaoyi came to see her today, she saw that the sadness in the third lady's brows had dissipated slightly.
After knowing that Yuan Miaoyi wanted to see Xiao Liuhua in the afternoon, the third lady agreed. However, the third lady looked a little hesitant. After looking at Yuan Miaoyi for a while, she said, "Miaoyi, Auntie has something to ask you."
In fact, Yuan Miaoyi knew what the third lady wanted to say just by looking at her expression, but she didn't say anything and just said, "Since we are a family, aunt might as well say it directly if she has something to say."
The third lady sighed and said: "You also know that your cousin has been grieving for the unborn child. Auntie knows that you are a sensible child, so if possible, you should persuade her for auntie."
Yuan Miaoyi nodded and said hello with a gentle smile.
When she came out of the third lady's residence, Yuan Miaoyi was actually a little worried because she had never persuaded anyone before.
The ups and downs and unfair situations she had encountered in her own life were all overcome by herself.
But now that the third lady had spoken out, Yuan Miaoyi still thought of trying to persuade her anyway. After all, Xiao Liuhua's behavior was indeed not a problem.
After Yuan Miaoyi took a nap with Xiao Yunyue at noon, she thought that Xiao Liuhua didn't want to see too bright colors at this time, so she changed into a plain dress.
The people in Xiao Liuhua's courtyard had long received the news that Mrs. Pingyang Hou was coming, and after leading her outside Xiao Liuhua's inner room, they quietly retreated.
This is a very quiet courtyard, and the servants and women who come and go seem to be very careful not to make any noise after entering the inner courtyard.
There was a plum blossom planted in the yard. The early spring had passed and the flowers had fallen away, leaving only the bare branches.
Yuan Miaoyi looked at the plum blossom for a while, then called Aunt Cui to say a few words, then opened the door and went in.
Because Xiao Liuhua was weak, her room was warmer than other rooms. Layers of cyan and white curtains were hung indoors, softening the light coming in from the outside.
Two soft coughs came from the curtain, followed by a female voice so weak that it was almost impossible to hear what she was saying: "Brothers and sisters, come in and sit down."
Yuan Miaoyi opened the curtains and saw the maid next to Xiao Liuhua lifting her up and leaning on the big pillow behind her. When she saw Yuan Miaoyi come in, she smiled at her and said, "I am neglecting my younger siblings. .”
"We are all a family. My cousin should take good care of herself, so why be so polite." Yuan Miaoyi sat down on the chair next to the bed. Xiao Liuhua's maid served her tea and then retreated. The room was quiet for a while. down.
If we talk about it carefully, Xiao Liuhua actually looks very similar to the third lady.
Although she was weak at the moment, her face was pale, and even her lips had no color, it could be seen that when she was in good health, she would be a beauty who would make people feel as gentle as the spring breeze blowing on her face. The miscarriage had greatly damaged the woman. Xiao Liuhua had been raising her carefully at her parents' home for so many years, but she was still as thin as a piece of white paper.
"For my sake, I have to go all the way from Beijing to Qingzhou for your wedding." Xiao Liuhua looked at Yuan Miaoyi and smiled slightly, but his eyes were a little vacant: "I'm really sorry for you and the young Marquis."
Yuan Miaoyi looked at her and replied seriously: "As soon as the eldest princess received the letter, she became anxious and angry, and was very worried about you. But my cousin also knows that the eldest princess has a distinguished status and cannot leave the capital at will. Elders have Worry, children should do their best, cousin, don’t feel sorry."
Xiao Liuhua remembered how the eldest princess was kind to her when she was still in the family, and murmured softly like a sigh: "Yes... the eldest princess has always been very kind to me."
After saying that, he turned to look at Yuan Miaoyi and said, "Mother must have told you to persuade me, right?"
Xiao Liuhua actually knew that her family had been busy with her affairs these days, and thought that after venting her anger for her, she could slowly let go of the knot in her heart.
She walked back and forth in the house these days, speaking carefully for fear of mentioning her sadness. Whenever she tries to persuade her, she always says that the past is past after all, and people always have to look ahead.
Xiao Liuhua actually didn't know any of these truths, but he knew some of them clearly but couldn't see through them.
Yuan Miaoyi nodded, but what she said was something Xiao Liuhua had never heard before: "Cousin, although I have not had a child yet, as a woman, I also understand that no matter how good the husband is, the child will always be her own flesh and blood. It’s formed. I can’t say I feel the pain of losing a child, but I can understand it a little bit.”
Xiao Liuhua's eyes moved slightly, and his hand on the quilt was so thin that it seemed like there was only a handful of bones left. She gently grasped the quilt, and her eyes moved from Yuan Miaoyi to the curtain above her head.
When the child slipped from his belly, Xiao Liuhua felt that his heart had died together. Before she fainted, she could actually feel that the skirt of her skirt was soaked with her own blood, but the coldness beneath her body could not compare with the chill in her heart.
The faint admiration she had for Duan Zhichen when she was newly married, and her expectations for the future, had long been wiped away by the lonely time in the inner house.
But how is the child like her husband? Xiao Liuhua had it without knowing it, but she left before he could treat her well.
These days, when Xiao Liuhua was lying on his couch, he always thought about what this child would look like if she were still around.
So Xiao Liuhua didn't want to go out, because no matter what she saw when she went out, it would remind her of the child who didn't come to this world to see her because of her negligence.
As a mother, she failed to protect her child. This huge guilt and self-blame tortured Xiao Liuhua every day.
Yuan Miaoyi is not good at comforting people, but she understands people's hearts deeply. She knows that none of the people who persuaded Xiao Liuhua these days must understand her self-blame, so no one can persuade her to the right point.
No one dared to mention the child in front of Xiao Liuhua, but some wounds healed faster if left open. If they were covered day after day, the wounds would only fester and not heal.
Yuan Miaoyi saw her looking at the curtain above her head and began to lose her focus again, and knew that she was thinking about the child again. She did not continue talking, but sat closer and said softly: "Cousin, when I was in my boudoir, there was a little lady who was very close to me. After the Chinese New Year, she will marry to Lanling The Lang family has gone."
