Rudonghai

Chapter 221 Guilt
The gold and jade are outside, and the ruins are inside. It is the Mo family.

Mother was eager to find another family to live in. The Mo family took a fancy to the Wen family's Marquis of the State, and mother had a large dowry, so they naturally agreed.

The one married was not the eldest son, but the second son. He once had a wife, but died of illness a few years later, and never married again.

Some people say that the second master is a long-term lover, but Wen Ruqi wants to sneer, he is just a good-looking hypocrite, without the restraint of his wife, he can hang out with maids, and even go to the red building to steal incense, which is very comfortable.

Anyway, he is not the heir, and after the second elder goes away, there will be nothing to divide the family.Now that my own father is still in charge of the house, and the second master can still squander, how can he not act recklessly?
Mrs. Mo was waiting in a dilapidated courtyard, apparently a place where few people would pass by.

Wen Ruqi sneered, do you think her daughter is shameful?

"What do you come to see me for? I don't have enough money to spend?" Mrs. Mo knew that she had transferred some of the valuables at home before the accident, and she had secretly accumulated over the years, which was enough to prepare a generous dowry for her.

Even if she remarried, she was still decent. Someone behind Luoshui was pointing at her, wouldn't she dare not even say a bad word in front of her?

Mrs. Mo has always known that only those who have money can have mothers, and she can live well in her new husband's house only by holding money.

She was also a little reluctant to part with Wen Ruqi, but after remarrying, who would be willing to let her have such a big daughter?
"There are 500 taels here. After you take them, don't come to me anymore." Madam Mo didn't feel sorry for her daughter, but she loved herself even more.

Wen Ruqi took the banknote without hesitation, hid it close to her body, and sneered at her, "Mother, why don't you ask what Dad said in the end?"

"Everyone is dead, why do you bring them up?" Madam Mo's face was indifferent, as if she was not talking about the person who had been with her for nearly 20 years, but a stranger.

However, Wen Ruqi did not do what she wished, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became even brighter: "The night before Dad died, I went to the prison to deliver food and saw him for the last time. I told Dad that Mother left before him. Waiting for the moment to meet."

Madam Mo shook her hands and looked over in disbelief: "You unfilial daughter, what nonsense are you talking about?"

How can there be a daughter who cursed her mother's death, she blushed with anger.

Wen Ruqi continued: "Daddy laughed, and was escorted to Beijing. He couldn't sleep day and night, and couldn't eat or sleep. He thought that his mother had already remarried with the rest of the family's money, but he didn't expect his mother to be so affectionate. .”

She looked at Mrs. Mo furiously, but felt guilty, her face was pale, and she felt an indescribable joy: "Daddy walked away safely, and there was not much pain on the execution ground. I know, mother will not let Daddy wait It's been too long, hasn't it?"

"You—" Madam Mo was on the verge of falling, looking at Wen Ruqi with horror.

She knows this daughter best, she is as ruthless as herself, she must have done something that shouldn't be done behind the scenes.

I had expected that this girl would not let it go, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious!
"Daddy doesn't have any great skills, but he made my mother rich and beautiful, and enjoyed the glory and wealth that most people don't have. But my mother was so cruel that she didn't even dare to see my father for the last time, so she turned around and married another man. Can I live with Daddy?" Wen Ruqi tapped her lower lip with her fingertips, and said with a mischievous smile, "Second Master Mo actually has a small birthmark on his thigh, my favorite daughter is Hong, is mother ready tonight?"

Seeing Mrs. Mo's terrified and angry face, Wen Ruqi left contentedly. It wasn't until she left Mo's residence that the smile on her face slowly faded, and she became as indifferent as frost.

Mrs. Mo, ungrateful mother, Wen Ruqi wanted her to have a disturbed conscience and no peace in this life.

Why did my father die miserably, but my mother lived a good life again?
For this reason, no matter what price Wen Ruqi has to pay, she is willing to accept it.

She went to the clothing store to change into a gorgeous dress, and a golden step rock was placed on the high bun.Walking in lotus steps, swaying and shining brightly, the displeasure in the heart of Second Master Mo who had been waiting for a long time in Bie Zhuang disappeared instantly.

"My dear, I've been waiting for so long..." He hurriedly pulled Wen Ruqi into his arms, bowed his head and kissed her.

Wen Ruqi half-pushed, half-resigned, and snuggled into Second Master Mo's arms.Soon, she will be the new Mrs. Mo, and the dowry that must belong to the Wen family will also return to her.

Gu Yunxiao felt that she had had a very long dream. She remembered that she saw Xiao Xilin who had rushed over at the An Guohou's Mansion, and threw herself into his arms happily, but she couldn't remember what happened after that.

It's just that now she was standing alone in a dark place, a stone road stretched to the end, and she could faintly see the light. She was walking all the way, tired from walking, but she didn't get any closer.

As if this was just a mirage, not an exit at all.

Gu Yunxiao felt very tired, she wanted to give up, she wanted to sit down and lie down and sleep for a while, the exit that would never be reached, why bother?
But when this thought came up, she suppressed it again, telling herself, if you walk for a while, maybe you can get closer after a while?
But time and time again, Gu Yunxiao was disheartened and couldn't help but want to give up after repeatedly checking whether the exit was not far or near, but still failed to get any closer.

Just when she closed her eyes and planned to rest for a while before getting up, her hands and feet became heavier and heavier, as if countless heavy stones were tied to her body, making her almost breathless.

Gu Yunxiao struggled to no avail, so she simply let it go, the light at the exit was getting dimmer, it should be closed, why should she waste any more effort?
But someone is waiting for him at the exit, who is it?

Suddenly she couldn't remember, and after thinking about it, she felt a sharp pain in her head, so she put it aside and didn't want to think about it.

A small voice came, at first it was too soft, Gu Yunxiao didn't hear it at all, then it gradually became louder, and the immature voice stammered calling her: 'Mother'...

Xiao Xilin, their child!
Gu Yunxiao finally remembered suddenly, struggling to break free from the stone on his body, even if the blood was dripping, he didn't care about it, and rushed towards the faint light with all his might.Hurry up, or she will never see Xiao Xilin again!
"Tonight is already the last night, Mr. Taifu has the bottom line." The imperial doctor cupped his hands and finally said goodbye.He has done his best, and the rest is up to Gu Yunxiao himself.

Xiao Xilin asked Xiao Er to send the imperial doctor away, and still sat in front of the couch and held Gu Yunxiao's hand. The originally soft catkin was now as thin as a stick, and if it was held tightly in the palm, it would even sting.

Even so, he didn't let go for a long time, as if as soon as he let go, Gu Yunxiao would never come back again.

Xiao Xilin stretched out her hand to caress her thin face, with worry in her eyes: "If Madam doesn't wake up, I will abandon the Xiao family, how about following you?"

"Although the palace is nice, it's not a place to stay for a long time. I brought my wife back, so I can relax in my own home. I used to think that the huge Xiao Mansion was no different, but now it's so empty and quiet that I can't stay here any longer. .”

He leaned over, put his cheek on the back of Gu Yunxiao's hand, and said softly: "The child is very tenacious. As expected of the Xiao family, he is trying to survive. Madam can't lose to our child..."

"No..." The weak murmur was undoubtedly like a thunderbolt, causing Xiao Xilin to raise her head in surprise.

Gu Yunxiao opened his eyes, still confused, and murmured: "I won't...lose..."

Xiao Xilin only felt that her eyes were sore, as if she blinked, tears would fall down: "Well, Madam will not lose to our child, and she will get better soon."

He made a subtle gesture to Xiao Er, and the latter jumped down eagerly to invite the imperial doctor who had just left, because he was so surprised that Xiao Er, who was always good at lightness kung fu, almost fell off the eaves. Qiu Hong was taken aback.

"What are you doing so anxiously? Could it be Ma'am..." Qiu Hong grabbed Qiu Lu's arm, almost scratching a few bloodstains.

Qiu Lu patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, Xiao Er's steps are brisk, it should be Madam who woke up."

What she said was always correct, and Qiu Hong breathed a sigh of relief: "This guy Xiao Er was almost scared out of his wits by him."

Not long after Gu Yunxiao woke up, she closed her eyes again. Xiao Xilin was a little anxious, and pushed her, afraid that the person on the couch would fall asleep again, and she didn't know when she would wake up.

The imperial doctor was almost carried back by Xiao Er and another Xiao Jiawei, his face was a little pale, and he was still in shock.After sitting down and feeling his pulse, he said pleasantly, "Madam will be fine when she wakes up. Afterwards, drink the decoction every day, and the remaining toxins will be slowly forced out."

He thought Mrs. Xiao couldn't make it through, but she woke up at the last moment. He was planning to go back to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor, but he failed to save the mistress of the Xiao family.

Once Gu Yunxiao died, I'm afraid Xiao Xilin's heart would be disheartened, and the emperor would have to lose this right-hand man, which is really a pity.

"Madam is very tired now. If you rest for a few more hours, you will be able to wake up tomorrow. Don't worry about it, Mr. Taifu. After waking up, eat some white porridge to pad your stomach, and then drink soup..." The imperial doctor ordered , Qiuhong wrote down one by one.

When Xiao Er sent the imperial doctor back again, what he saw was Qiu Hong gesticulating to signal him to keep silent.

Xiao Er looked inward in surprise, and what he saw was Xiao Xilin lying beside Gu Yunxiao in his clothes. The two of them were head to head, shoulder to shoulder, and they were sleeping deeply.

He breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Xilin had been guarding Gu Yunxiao all night all night these days, he was afraid that Mrs. Xiao would not be able to make it through, and his son was not made of iron, so he had to toss himself hard enough.

It's okay now, the lady has survived, and the son can finally sleep soundly.

Xiao Er thought about it, and went to the door of the study to tell the kneeling Xiao Yi about Gu Yunxiao's waking up: "Madam is fine, you don't have to feel guilty anymore."

Xiao Yi knelt for too long, his lips were chapped, and his face was haggard. Hearing his words, his eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again: "I will personally apologize to Madam, and let her do it."
