First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 235
These days the Hanlin Academy was idle, Song Zixun stayed in the study of the outer courtyard most of the time, and only when the girl said that Du Rongzhi was in a good mood would he go back to see her and her daughter.

So what happened in the garden reached Song Zixun's ears almost immediately.

He hurried back to Fengqing Court.

In the room, Du Rongzhi was sitting in front of Guan'er's cradle, humming softly while rocking it gently.

Seeing Song Zixun coming in from the outside with sweat on his head, Du Rongzhi couldn't help being taken aback. After trying to understand the reason, a sneering smile appeared on his cold face, "Why? You came back to Xingshi so soon to ask the crime?"

It's not the first time that the two of them have been together this time. Song Zixun's face changed slightly, but he didn't defend himself. He just walked to the cradle and looked down to see his daughter sleeping with her thumb in her mouth. Feeling sweet, she softly asked the nurse An who was serving beside her, "Is Miss Wan alright?"

Sister An looked helplessly at Du Rongzhi, and replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Miss Sun is fine... It's just that there is a mark on her neck, and some places have oily skin... The medicine has already been applied."

Song Zixun nodded, and a hint of distress flashed in his eyes.He stretched out his hand and carefully lifted his daughter's neckline, but he didn't want to disturb Guan'er who was sleeping. The little guy's two chubby little hands jerked, and then he pursed his mouth and was about to cry.

Seeing this, Nanny An quickly hugged Guan'er and patted her for a while, the little thing's eyebrows relaxed, turned over, and continued to sleep again.

Nanny An breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to Song Zixun, "My sister was probably frightened today, and she kept crying when she called back. It would be better if the young lady hugged her. After going through this for a few times, she finally fell asleep... ...but still a shock."

Song Zixun nodded slightly, stared at Guan'er for a while, and then sat down opposite Du Rongzhi.

"What happened today—"

"She found it herself." Song Zixun had just started, but Du Rongzhi interrupted angrily, "That's right, I pushed her. If Qinghe didn't stop me, I would still beat her!" She paused Suddenly, he looked at Song Zixun provocatively, "What? You think I'm fussy with a child, I don't know the general idea, and I'm ashamed of you?!" There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were bright but crazy, she raised her voice suddenly, " Then you divorce me!"

Guan'er, who was sleeping, was startled by the sudden sound, and woke up immediately.

She opened her eyes and looked at the crowd around the cradle in a daze, her big eyes that were as crystal as glass were instantly covered with mist.

Du Rongzhi was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug her, but Song Zixun had already hugged her daughter up one step ahead of her, and coaxed her softly, "Good... Guan'er won't cry... Daddy is here... Guan'er is not afraid..."

The little guy seemed to understand it. Although he still hummed softly, he didn't cry anymore, but his big eyes were watery, and he looked very pitiful.

Song Zixun lovingly kissed the wet corners of his daughter's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Rong Zhi, let's not quarrel in front of the children... shall we?"

I don't know if it was Song Zixun's words that reminded her suddenly, or the begging and flattery in his voice that people couldn't ignore was too humble... Du Rongzhi's tense face finally calmed down.

Sister An sighed, stepped forward and silently took Guan'er from Song Zixun's hand, and retreated silently.

"I didn't mean to blame you, and I didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime." He looked at Du Rongzhi's pale face and said softly, "Guan'er was injured, I know you are very anxious and uncomfortable. But Rongzhi, Wan My son is also my daughter, and my heartache is no less than yours. I rushed back as soon as I heard the news, just because I was worried about you and my daughter... that's all. "

Du Rongzhi raised her head, those clear eyes with a bright smile even when she wasn't smiling were looking at him blankly at this moment.She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end... she just lowered her head with a dull expression.

"I'm not wrong," she looked at her hands and muttered to herself, "She bullied Guan'er... Guan'er was crying all the time, and she still refused to let go..." She said angrily, "I'm not wrong, I did nothing wrong!"

Song Zixun saw Du Rongzhi's strangeness, so he hurried over and squatted in front of her, "I know... I know..." He held her trembling hands firmly, and softly comforted her, "It's Luo Yu's fault. ...Rong Zhi, this matter is over, Guan'er is fine now, don't get angry, don't get excited—"

Du Rongzhi pushed him away violently.

Song Zixun didn't defend himself, he swayed and fell to the ground.

"Know? What do you know?" Du Rongzhi's eyes turned red at some point, she stared at him, and suddenly laughed, "You know the helplessness of having nothing and being dependent on the child in your stomach? Knowing that you live every day Fear in the dark? Or the despair of knowing that a living life has disappeared from the body?! Song Zixun, what do you know?! Huh?" She laughed until tears flowed, "...you don't know anything at all... ...you'll never know!"

Song Zixun stared at her blankly.He felt that Du Rongzhi's illness had fallen again... He couldn't understand what she was saying, maybe she didn't even understand herself... But those incoherent words were inexplicably like a big stone, pressing heavily on his heart, The pain was so bad that he could barely breathe.

Song Zixun pulled himself together and stood up, walking slowly towards Du Rongzhi, "Rong Zhi—"

"Don't call me by my name!" Du Rongzhi yelled sharply with scarlet eyes, "Guan'er is mine, and mine alone! We don't care about your hypocrisy! Not at all!"

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

The autumn wind blows in through the slightly opened window... Du Rongzhi couldn't help shivering.

"Young Madam..." Nurse An whispered in her ear, and the next moment the clothes were already on her body.

Du Rongzhi looked around slowly, only to realize that at some point, only their master and servant were left in the room.

"Nurse," Du Rongzhi suddenly asked in a hoarse voice while watching the wet nurse's movement of closing the window, "you said... am I very bad... very unreasonable?"

Nanny An had a sore nose, turned her head and forced a smile, "It's nothing...you just love Miss Sun too much..."

Du Rongzhi smiled wryly and shook her head, "I know...I have a bad temper these days, and I always get angry for no reason..." Tears flowed down her pale face, "But I didn't do it on purpose...I just, Can't help..."

Nanny An hurried over to hug her, choked up and said, "You don't have to say, Nanny knows..." She was so distressed that she burst into tears, "You just... feel too bitter..."

Buried in the warm embrace of the wet nurse, Du Rongzhi closed her eyes wearily, "Nurse, I'm so tired..."

Momo An's eyes became hot, and she softly stroked the ends of her hair, "Young Madam, please sleep for a while..."

Du Rongzhi hummed lightly.

How wonderful it would be if I could really sleep forever...
