The Regent's favorite concubine

Chapter 229 After so many years, don't you still understand me?
He had a serious illness. After learning that she entered the palace and became the emperor's wife, his illness never got better. He couldn't eat and coughed up blood every day. Even the doctor said he wouldn't live long. .

He wanted to see her, to see her one last time before he died, but he didn't think he would make it through.

Unexpectedly, she returned home suddenly. After hearing the news, he cleaned up his decadent mess for more than a month as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He soaked in the water for a long time. Time, he was afraid that his stench would make her bored.

he cheered up to meet her
To see the man he misses day and night
He thought that she would still be the same as before, disliking him, unwilling to see him, insulting him and beating him.

But she changed, not only didn't beat him, didn't scold him, even the way she looked at him was different from before. Before, it was naked hatred, but now it was undisguised, it was strange.

Heart throbbing.

He wanted to reach out and grab her little hand hanging on the skirt, but when he was about to touch her hand, she put her hand on the coffee table calmly, pinched a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. He picked up the book on the side of the table and read it.

His chest was filled with sourness, he suddenly smiled, his tone was downcast, but he forced a smile on his face: "Now, do you want to take back even my right to like you?"

"Mr. Shangguan is the only son of the Shangguan family. Your Shangguan family's property will fall on you in the future. If you don't start a family, let's not say that the incense of the Shangguan family was cut off in your generation. Even your Shangguan family, In the future, when the two elders grow old, who will fall on them?"

"Ji'er, after all these years, don't you still understand me?"

"Just stop the carriage in front, the street in front is busy, let's walk over."

As soon as the man opened his mouth, Shen Yueji gave instructions to the groom outside.

When Shangguanyu reached the words on his lips, he swallowed them back bitterly.

Seeing Shen Yueji get off the carriage, he hurriedly reached out to help her.

Still a step too late.

He glanced at the big hand that was outstretched empty, smiled wryly, and got out of the carriage.

The streets of the capital seem to be much more lively than in the impression. Shen Yueji walked in front, looking at the hawkers and street stalls on both sides, the young talents with people coming and going, and the lively and lovely children. running around on the road.

The sound of laughter and bargaining.

There are also many vendors who are noisy because of some trivial and tedious matters.

"Yo, little beauty, will you sell yourself after your father dies?"

At this moment, a man's sharp voice came from beside her ear, Shen Yueji looked sideways, and saw a fat middle-aged man standing beside a girl in ragged clothes who was kneeling on the ground.

I saw the girl kneeling on the ground, with a dead body wrapped in a straw mat beside her, and on the cloth strip in front of her were the big words "sell her body and bury her father".

Such things are not uncommon in the capital.

Under Feng Jiuqing's care in Fengguo, such people gradually became less and less, not a single one.

After watching it for a while, she lost much interest in it.

In the past, she might have been kind to the girl, gave her some money, asked her to leave after burying her father, and find a place to start a small business.

But now, she just watched with cold eyes, especially when the fat man reached out to her chest and groped her body unscrupulously in front of everyone.

But she didn't struggle, just knelt there neatly.
