Mountains and rivers fall into red

Chapter 57
She saw him slowly approaching her, almost covering all the light in front of her eyes, and she began to tremble, trembling uncontrollably.His hands fell on her slender shoulder blades, and she trembled even more. With just a slight push, the two of them lay down on the bed softly.

In a short distance, she met Tianji's drunken face, and his kisses fell one after another mixed with heavy breathing.For some reason, she opened her eyes to look at him. The moment the two eyes met, there seemed to be a bolt of lightning, passing through the half-black and half-grey sky, and rushing into the eyes of the sky.In an instant, a familiar shadow flashed in front of Xiuxiu's eyes, his body stiffened involuntarily, and he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a sharp pain seemed to burst, and she couldn't help groaning.Opening his eyes suddenly, the sky in front of him also froze his body, his eyes were fixed on the white sheets, while panting rapidly, he clenched his teeth and became fierce with some emotion.

Under a kind of torture that was suppressed to the point of pain, Xiuxiu heard her own low moan.Tianji's smooth and cold skin drenched her body, and he saw his own shadow in his black pupils with a strange expression.In a trance, everything becomes blank.She stretched out her hand to prop herself up on the couch, but she touched something cold, and she squinted her eyes to see clearly that it was the naive cheek of a beggar doll.

At the same time, with a bang, the porcelain doll slipped to the ground and broke into a pile of flakes.

The sky slipped away from her, and for a moment, there was a suffocating silence in the room.

The pure white sheets are so clean that it blinds the eyes, and the woman lying on the bed is as cold and pale as a moonlight on a spring night.Tianji was most afraid of the cold on weekdays, and shivered unconsciously.

"You are not... a virgin." He stared at her without blinking, his eyes were stern.

Xixiu's mind was buzzing, and her lips that had long lost color trembled: "Brother Tianji, listen to me, this is not important..."

"But it's very important to me!"

Tianji roared frantically, and grabbed Xiuxiu's hand.That hand was as cold as his heart.

"Is it on your mind to be with him right now?"

"No! Brother Tianji, I am not!"

Xiuxiu's heart trembled, and he struggled, but couldn't get rid of it: "Brother Tianji, I don't know what you're talking about."

The scorching breath of the sky sprayed on her face with the smell of alcohol, and her voice was rude: "How could I marry you?"

Xiuxiu's mind was in chaos, and she just shook her body in vain: "Brother Tianji, it's not what you imagined! I want to marry you, I really want to marry you!"

Tianji's eyes were reddened, and her wrists were so strong that her wrists rattled, and she almost fainted from the pain: "You said that your father is fake, but I didn't expect you to be even faker than him! You woman, you actually lied to me!" I'm so disgusting!"

As he spoke, he strengthened his hand, and with a tug, Xiuxiu's body was dragged down under the bed.While screaming, Xiuxiu felt that every inch of his skin was being torn bit by bit, unable to heal, like a cracked ice surface.She couldn't help howling.

Tianji's sad and angry voice echoed in his ears: "Why did you come back that night? You have already belonged to him! You go to him, and I will not stop you!"

Xiuxiu forgot the pain, and rushed forward, with tears splashing all over his face, grabbed his elbow with both hands, and cried sadly: "Brother Tianji, listen to me, I have nothing to do with him. That night I I've made it clear to him, I want to explain, but you don't want to hear it, you trust me, okay?"

Tianji became frantic, he tore off Xiuxiu's hand, and screamed in grief: "Do you want to end with him? Or does he want to end with you? You can't be with him, so you thought of marrying me, right? You What do you take me for?"

He suddenly got up, Xiuxiu knelt on the ground, hugged his leg with both hands, sobbing: "Brother Tianji, I really want to live with you, please don't treat me like this? I only have you as a relative Well, if you treat me like this, I might as well die..."

Skyrim had already lost his mind, and the pain that had been pent up for a long time broke out in an instant. He yelled frantically: "I won't believe you! I have been deceived by you time and time again, and I have been deceived by myself again and again. For you, I have been deceived by you. People laughed at me, saying that I can't even manage a daughter-in-law on my wedding night! I've had enough!"

The servant heard the crying, and frightenedly observed the movement inside through the crack of the door.Seeing the new lady with disheveled hair, disheveled clothes, tears all over her face, half kneeling in front of the sky, sobbing.

"Ma'am..." the servant called carefully.

"Go! Go!"

Tianji rushed the servant away, his heart was full of anger, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably: "And that Yanxi, you two, master and servant, joined forces to lie to me! The hearts of the most poisonous women in the world, I'm really afraid of you!" He said, He quickly put on his clothes and boots.

Xiuxiu grabbed him in horror, and begged, "Brother Tianji, what do you want to do? Tell me, what should I do? I am your wife!"

Tianji's hand trembled suddenly, staring at her sad and hopeless face, he clenched his fist hard, then let go of it in an instant, broke away from her hand, turned and ran out.

Xiuxiu cried and fell on the threshold, and the boundless night swept towards her again.

The cold moon has been covered by black clouds, and the sky is like a dark curtain, so close that it seems to collapse.The wind is rustling, mixed with whimpers, hissing.

It has been more than half a month since Tianji left home.

At first Xiuxiu went to the palace to look for him, but Tianji sternly refused and forbade the doorman to report again.The outside is tightly guarded, and no one is allowed to enter without his permission.Xiuxiu was afraid that outsiders would find out his identity and make him lose face, so he didn't dare to point it out, so he always came back sluggishly.

Later, the guards of the gatekeepers relaxed, and upon inquiring, it turned out that Tianji had gone to Yizhou with the head of the Ministry of Punishment to do business. The journey was far away, and no one could tell when he would return.Xiuxiu was disheartened and lazy, and stayed in Hanyuan all day long, washing her face with tears, depressed and unhappy.

The servant saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, so he secretly went to Shen's residence and reported Xiuxiu's situation to Liu Rulan.Liu Rulan was surprised when she heard this, and hurried over.

It's just that she hasn't seen her for more than half a month. When she saw Xiuxiu, he was haggard, with sunken eyes, and his face was pale and colorless. How could he look like a bride?She couldn't help feeling sad from it, and she felt pity and love, hugged her and shed tears.

Xiuxiu was calm, and smiled miserably at Liu Rulan: "Second Madam must be pitiful for Xiuxiu looking at me like this. I'm afraid that Xiuxiu's fate is like this."

Liu Rulan wept and said: "I thought you two were childhood sweethearts and knew each other well, so I was relieved. I didn't know that it was only a few days, and the situation suddenly changed. I didn't expect the skyline city to be so deep."

Xiuxiu spoke for Tianji: "Where did the second lady say that? He was originally cheerful, but he was just a little bit paranoid, and if someone pointed him out, he would disappear."

"Then why did he make it so serious this time?" Liu Rulan frowned, actually she didn't understand Tianji.

"It's my fault too. He didn't explain clearly. He had a lump in his heart. I thought he understood me." Xiuxiu burst into tears.

"What are you going to explain to him?"

Xiuxiu was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"Is it about the third prince?" Liu Rulan understood, staring into her eyes.Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"On the night of your wedding, you were taken captive by a strongman, and Yanxi was injured. I was anxious to come, but the master stopped me, so I guess it must be the third prince." Liu Rulan sighed, "You child is too sentimental, and in the end Instead, you hurt yourself, and I'm afraid that Tianji will be hurt by you too."

Hugh burst into tears for a moment.

"Then Xiao Kui will forget you sooner or later in the future of Sangong and Sixth Courtyard. Don't take it to heart, it will hurt yourself." Liu Rulan seemed to be touched, and sighed softly, "It's not as good as ordinary people. Husband and wife, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, live in poverty, but are happy."

Xiuxiu's eyes were dull and his expression was blank.Liu Rulan laughed instead, and comforted her: "Who hasn't been young? Find a chance to explain clearly to Tianji that he is your husband now, so he should understand you."

After listening to Liu Rulan's words, Xiuxiu felt a little calm.But as soon as she thought of the sky, her complexion darkened again in an instant, and she couldn't even see his face.

Liu Rulan was about to leave, Xiuxiu took her to the front yard, and wanted to ask about the relationship between Xin Yang and Yan Xi.Although Liu Rulan is a person who understands righteousness, but her son fell in love with the maid, she naturally disagrees in her heart.Now that she was in such a situation, Liu Rulan hadn't mentioned Yan Xi at all, and she had nothing to say.

Seemingly hesitating for a while, Liu Rulan asked: "Master is your father after all, there is no way for you two to freeze like this."

Xiuxiu immediately turned cold, and Liu Rulan kept silent.There was a moment of silence between the two, neither of them knew what to say.

There was a quarrel outside the courtyard, and the two looked at each other unconsciously.At this moment, the servant hurried in and said that there was a woman who claimed to be the mother of the new lady, and she must see the new lady.

"Mother..." Xiuxiu cried out in surprise.

Before the words were finished, someone stepped in from outside.Through the shade of the tree, Xiuxiu dimly saw his mother Cao Guizhi wearing a peach-blossom cotton robe, which was gorgeous and her gait was also erratic.

Liu Rulan stared at Cao Guizhi intently, vaguely remembered her previous appearance, seemed to be touched by something, and blurted out softly: "Cao Guizhi... how did it become like this?"

Cao Guizhi went down a few steps and came straight to Xiuxiu.Xiuxiu understood what was going to happen next, and instinctively closed her eyes in pain. Before she knelt down, Cao Guizhi's pale and thin hand swung down and slapped Xiuxiu heavily on the face.

"As expected, you married Ni Xiu'e's son! Do you think you are motherless? I gave birth to you and raised you for the sake of Chu's family? I'm so mad! Are you worthy of your dead father? Her father, you die! You have been wronged!" Cao Guizhi wailed loudly, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"Mom, calm down, listen to me..."

Xiuxiu didn't expect his mother to come suddenly, presumably Ni Xiu'e had informed her of the marriage when she went back, and her mother rushed here in a hurry.If she had fought before, she would have nothing to explain now.In an instant, the cold sadness couldn't be stopped, and she couldn't help sobbing silently.

Cao Guizhi stopped wailing, his face was ferocious, and he wanted to slap again.Liu Rulan's hand was held between her wrists in time, and she felt that her wrist was so thin that when she squeezed it, the veins were very clearly spread on the flesh and blood skin, and she felt faint strands of coldness.

"Cao Guizhi, I haven't seen you in 18 years, and he's becoming more aggressive." Liu Rulan snorted coldly.

It seemed that only then did he realize that the person in front of him was the second lady of the Shen family. Cao Guizhi withdrew his hand, knelt down in front of Liu Rulan, and cried again, "Second lady, Guizhi is very polite. Xiuxiu is too disappointing! The master has raised this daughter for more than ten years, looking forward to adding value to the Shen family, and now it is in such a situation! Second lady, you can ask the master on behalf of Guizhi, why did you allow the Chu family to marry Huxiu? Guizhi is 1. Wish!"

"Tianji can be regarded as an official of the imperial court. He has a salary and a house. Why not marry him? Don't beat your daughter every now and then," Liu Rulan said.

"That kid is not worthy of my daughter at all! Second lady! Master!"

Cao Guizhi was crying so hard that she couldn't stop breathing. She was originally in a state of being overwhelmed, but now she looked even weaker and pitiful.Liu Rulan called her maid, Cuihong, to help Xiuxiu to help Cao Guizhi into the house.

Cao Guizhi half-lyed on the bed, closed his eyes tiredly for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said to Xiuxiu angrily: "Go and call Chu Tianji here!"

Xiuxiu was in a dilemma, she lowered her eyes and remained silent.Cao Guizhi was extremely dissatisfied, and began to reprimand her daughter endlessly.Seeing this, Liu Rulan pulled Xiuxiu out of the door, and whispered: "I figured it out, your mother came to Jiangling to see you, and she really wanted to see the master. If you don't agree, you will have no peace here."

Xiuxiu was disturbed by a series of things, she lowered her eyes and said, "That man... won't see my mother."

"Let me try, take your mother there now. Don't let her know about you and Tianji. Sigh, maybe this is your mother's last chance." Liu Rulan sighed.

Xiuxiu knelt down and saluted gratefully.Several people cleaned and dressed Cao Guizhi, Cao Guizhi looked bright and charming, and when he heard that the second lady was going to take her to see the master, he happily left Xiuxiu and left.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xiuxiu stood in the courtyard and waited.Loneliness floods in like a tide, and the wind blows the fallen leaves to pieces, like phantom butterflies.The sparseness and indifference of the whole garden blurred Xiuxiu's eyes, and everything seemed to be in the mist, elusive.

Cuihong finally entered the yard, and she brought ominous news: Cao Guizhi never saw the master.

"I don't know if there is something wrong in the palace, but the master just didn't see it. I knelt for a long time, and the eldest lady drove her away, and the words were terrible, and the second lady couldn't do anything about it."

"What happened next?" Xiuxiu asked quietly.

"Later, the second lady gave me money, and your mother went back."

Xiuxiu swallowed a bitter smile, but tears flowed down uncontrollably.

She couldn't tell whether it was sadness or coldness, but the meeting between her mother-in-law Cao Guizhi in Jiangling was so hasty.What's even more tragic is that she didn't know that this was the last time their mother and daughter met in this life.
