First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 246 Hysteria
Seeing her bewildered expression, Mrs. Song sighed, "Brother Xun is afraid of making you sad, so he is not willing to tell you these words; those who have ulterior motives are too late to watch jokes in the dark, let alone tell them." You, and only me, an old woman, have to come out today to seek distrust."

As she spoke, her face darkened, and she said in a stern tone, "Girl Zhi, you are really confused—very confused!"

"Grandma said this, are you convinced, can you admit it?"

Du Rongzhi lowered her head, "Grandmother taught me the lesson, it's the granddaughter-in-law who is stupid..."

"It's not that you're stupid, but it's just that you love to get into the wrong end." Mrs. Song's complexion turned a little dark, and she said persuasively, "Grandmother knows that you love that unfavorable child...but you are still young, and you have taken care of yourself. Why don't you worry about it in the future? Children around your knees? It really shouldn't hurt the relationship between you and your husband because of this."

Seeing Du Rongzhi bowed her head and remained silent, she couldn't help but sigh, "Besides, after this incident, you should also know that brother Xun treats you with great care."

Du Rongzhi pursed her lower lip tightly.

Ban Xia over there has already led a few little girls to lay cushions on the stone bench, brought tea and fruit, and retreated silently.

"That child has been stubborn since he was a child, and he is indifferent to everyone. I have watched him coldly all these years, but I have never seen anyone he particularly likes." Mrs. Song held Du Rongzhi's hand in front of the stone table Sit down, "You are the only exception."

Seeing Du Rongzhi raised her head in a daze, Mrs. Song nodded slightly, "I've heard about you on the mountain..." She sighed, "The last time your natal aunt came to the door, she told your mother that she wanted to take her family home. The girl was sent in to be a concubine, and brother Xun's attitude was very firm... At that time, I knew that he might have put you in his heart, and he would not let you suffer the slightest grievance... Now it seems that he still guessed wrong It's a bit—" Mrs. Song smiled wryly and shook her head, "He actually put you on the tip of his heart."

"Girl Zhi, he has done so much for you, and he can even risk his life. Could it be that he is no more than an unborn child, and can't eliminate the grievance and resentment in your heart?"

What answered her was Du Rongzhi's long silence.

Mrs. Song didn't urge her, she took the teacup from Nanny Ning, lifted the lid and ate slowly.

"Grandmother... I understand that the young master treats me well."

After an unknown amount of time, Du Rongzhi's low voice finally sounded in his ears, "My grandson's wife is not a hard-hearted person who doesn't know what is good or bad. But many things...to this day, even my daughter-in-law can't control herself."

Mrs. Song frowned, but when she was about to speak, she saw Du Rongzhi stepping forward, leaning down towards her and saying, "Actually, granddaughter-in-law is here today, besides showing flowers to grandma, she also has an unfeeling request in her heart... ..."

Mrs. Song narrowed her eyes and looked at her, "Say it."

"Granddaughter-in-law is well aware that what she has done recently has repeatedly attracted criticism, which not only brings shame to the Duke's family, but also makes the elders sad and disappointed..." She said softly, "Granddaughter-in-law has learned from the pain, and I also feel regretful. Please take Sister Guan to the village to contemplate your past mistakes behind closed doors, cultivate yourself, and ask your grandmother to help you." After saying that, she bowed deeply to Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song watched her work hard for a long time, and suddenly sneered, "Okay, okay! I've spent a long time talking, but I was playing the piano to the cow!" Her face had already darkened.

"Grandmother, please calm down." Du Rong said in a low voice, "The grandson's daughter-in-law is definitely not trying to get angry with the young master, it's really..." She paused, and said in a difficult voice, "There are really unavoidable difficulties... Also ask grandma to learn from you."

Mrs. Song saw that she hesitated to speak, as if there was something hard to say, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and asked, "What's the last resort?"

Du Rongzhi struggled for a long while before saying sadly, "Don't dare to lie to grandma... In fact, my granddaughter-in-law has suffered from hysteria since she had a miscarriage..."

As soon as she spoke, Qinghe's face behind her changed immediately, and when she was about to go up to tell her not to speak, she told Mrs. Song to stare at her, not daring to act rashly.

Mrs. Song's expression became serious, "Hysteria? What's going on here?"

"The imperial doctor said it was caused by too much worry..." Du Rongzhi's eyes became hot, and she lowered her face and said, "Every time I get hysterical, I can't control myself..." She paused, "These, young master and grandson The servants who serve my daughter-in-law also know..."

Mrs. Song's eyes darkened, "Is it really that serious?"

"My daughter-in-law dare not tell half a lie."

Something flashed through Mrs. Song's mind... She frowned and said, "Then you contradicted your cousin and wife earlier..."

Du Rongzhi nodded bitterly, "It's also...the reason why my daughter-in-law can't control her temper."

"No wonder..." Mrs. Song murmured, and she asked Aunt Ning to help Du Rongzhi sit down, and asked with concern, "Can the imperial doctor tell you how to cure this disease?"

Du Rongzhi shook her head, "It's a heart disease. If you want to completely eradicate it, you can only rely on yourself..." She looked at Mrs. Song and said with red eyes, "Grandmother, you were right just now... since you hit your grandson-in-law in the womb The child lost, and the granddaughter-in-law really resented the young master for a while."

She said with tears in her eyes, "But he was so kind to me—no matter what I said or did, he would bear it silently without complaint or regret. On that day, he even saved me regardless of his own safety...... My heart is not made of iron, so how can I not feel it? It's not that I haven't thought about it, just forget the past and live a good life with him..." Tears fell silently down the woman's thin cheeks, "But I really can't help it ..."

Du Rongzhi finally couldn't continue, she covered her face and lay down on the stone table, weeping softly.

After a long time, Mrs. Song sighed softly, "That's why you want to go to another village to rest?"

Du Rongzhi raised her head, her small face was raining with pear blossoms, she looked very pitiful, "Yes..." She nodded with a choked voice, "Daughter-in-law thought about it, and for the present plan, only daughter-in-law can leave for now and go to the countryside to recuperate in peace , In this way, it is the best for the young master, for the granddaughter-in-law...even for everyone."

Mrs. Song pursed her lips tightly, looked at her fixedly, and said calmly, "Then what if your illness continues to improve? What are you going to do? Are you going to hide in the countryside for the rest of your life?"

Du Rongzhi paused, met Mrs. Song's scrutinizing eyes, and said solemnly, "If it's true... My grandson is willing to live in the family temple from now on, and chant scriptures and pray for the elders every day."

Behind him, Qing He was very anxious, her eyes lingered nervously on the faces of Du Rongzhi and Mrs. Song, but the faces of the two were generally dignified, and nothing else could be seen.

After a while, I heard Mrs. Song say calmly, "Okay, grandma already knows what's on your mind... It's not urgent... Let me think about it again." She said and waved to Du Rongzhi He waved his hand, "Go down first."

Du Rongzhi wiped away her tears, then bent down deeply, "Yes... grandson-in-law is resigning."
