First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 404 And I, Not This Person
Du Rongzhi came back to his senses, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Guan'er wrinkled her nose, "Guan'er talked to mother, but mother ignored Guan'er."

"Mother was thinking about something just now." Du Rongzhi said with a smile, "Daddy went to take a bath, and Sister Guan also went to take a bath with Gu Nanny, okay?"

Just as Du Rongzhi was talking, he saw two little girls bringing in several plates of snacks.

Guan'er glanced at it, and immediately clapped her hands happily and said, "Nuomi cake, glutinous rice cake! Osmanthus glutinous rice cake!"

"Isn't it?" Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Young Madam made this specially for Miss Sun this morning!"

Guan'er smiled and rolled her eyes, hugged Du Rongzhi's neck and kissed hard, "Mother is so kind! Guan'er likes mother the most!"

Du Rongzhi couldn't help being amused by her small appearance, and said softly, "Guan'er goes to take a bath first, and eat after washing, okay?"

Guan'er obeyed obediently, and obediently let the wet nurse carry her back to the house.

Mother An, who had been standing silently by the side, saw that no one else was around, so she stepped forward hesitantly, and said in a low voice, "Young Madam..."

Du Rongzhi raised her hand to interrupt her, and told Yuanyuan, "You take that plate of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice cake to Miss Sun's room..."

Yuanyuan hurriedly answered yes, and just as he walked over to pick it up, Du Rongzhi said calmly, "Take the other dish down too, you two."

Yuan Yuan was taken aback, "But it wasn't you who—"

"Take it down." Du Rongzhi said coldly.

Yuanyuan pursed her lips, bowed her head and said yes, took two plates of glutinous rice cakes and walked out.

Looking at the back of Yuan Yuan leaving, An Momo sighed softly, and after a long time, looked at Du Rongzhi's expression, and said cautiously, "Young Madam, in fact, the matter about Aunt You... can't be blamed on the Eldest Young Master." .”

When Song Zixun came out of the clean room, Nanny An had already left.

Du Rongzhi was standing in front of the closet, arranging the batch of newly tailored clothes he brought back from the Duke's Mansion.

The sunlight came in through the window sills and fell on her frail body, everything seemed to be the same as before he left.

Song Zixun walked over quietly, wrapping his arms around his wife's slender waist from behind.

Du Rongzhi's body froze, and after a while, she said softly, "Washed?"

"Yeah." His chin rested on her neck, and his breath was blowing in her ears.

Du Rongzhi pursed her lower lip lightly, and just about to turn around, her body was tightly held by his arms, "Let me hold you for a while..." He rubbed his chin against her neck, and said in a low voice, "I miss you all the time these days..."

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Sensing his wife's estrangement, Song Zixun turned her body and looked into her eyes seriously, "Let me explain to you about You Shi."

Du Rongzhi lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No need...Nurse An told me all about it just now when you were taking a bath."

She took a deep breath, raised her head and smiled at him, "Actually, you and I both know that this will happen sooner or later... I have not given birth to children these years, and the elders must have been anxious." She turned her eyes away and said softly, "You don't need to explain, I understand..."

"You don't understand." Song Zixun frowned, "Grandmother kept Guan'er by her side just to force me to submit... If I can't let Nayou's in as they want, not only will I not be able to take Guan'er away, but you will also be let in." Even more difficult."

Du Rongzhi nodded numbly, "You're right."

Her indifferent and submissive attitude almost made his teeth itch with anger.

Song Zixun hugged her waist tightly, gritted his teeth and asked, "Then if I tell you that nothing actually happened between me and You Shi, would you still put on such a repulsive look?"

Du Rongzhi raised her head in a daze.

Song Zixun relaxed, and said with a bit of pride, "Look at you, you don't give anyone a chance to defend themselves—even if I'm trying a case in the Yamen, I still have to listen to the plaintiff and the defendant talk about the ins and outs of the matter... ...You only listened to what Nanny An said, and you are so eager to convict me?"

Du Rongzhi shook her head, "Nurse An didn't speak ill of you, and I also know that you were pressured by the elders, so I didn't blame you..."

"I know." Song Zixun turned his face back, "That's why I need to make it clear to you." He stared closely at her eyes, "Rong Zhi, I have nothing to do with You Shi, as for the piece to give to you." I also put the blood on the Xipa that my grandmother tested. Do you understand?"

Du Rongzhi looked at him silently, and asked softly after a long time, "...Why are you..."

"Of course it's because of you." He smiled warmly, and finally relaxed his tense nerves completely when he saw the sparkle in her eyes, "It's urgent, even though it's too late to discuss with you about concubines, I always She can still be her own master. Then You Shi is quite sensible, knowing that I have no intentions for her, this idea was first proposed by her..."

Du Rongzhi let out a soft "Oh" and lowered her eyes, "Is that so... that's good."

The smile on Song Zixun's face paused.He frowned, "...I've already said so much, do you still want to get angry with me?" There was already a hint of reproach in his tone.

"I'm not angry with you." Du Rongzhi said softly, "Actually, from the beginning, I wasn't angry with you because of this."

Song Zixun narrowed his eyes, "You—"

"I'm just angry with myself." She sighed with a wry smile, "If I could be stronger, even, even if I gave you another daughter... Maybe the family wouldn't be so anxious to force you to take a concubine." She Resisting the soreness in his eyes, he smiled and shook his head, "Zixun, I don't blame you...Really, I don't blame anyone. This is my fate, and I can only accept my fate."

"You're lying." He reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up, and asked with a frown, "If you don't care, why are you crying? Rong Zhi, you're lying." He said in a deep voice, "I don't like it." You lied to me."

Du Rongzhi couldn't break free and could only be forced to look directly into his eyes.

She could see the displeasure in his eyes, and also saw her compromise in his eyes.

But what if there is no compromise?A woman who can't pass on her husband's line... what can she expect?Do you want him to guard her and her daughter for the rest of his life, and then be criticized by thousands of people?She finally gave up struggling and reached out to caress his cheek.

"I don't care." She said softly. She wanted to laugh at herself and bent her lips, but tears flowed from her eyes with this action. "No woman would care..." She shook her head, "But all of this is unavoidable. Even if you don't consummate the marriage with her, even if there is no You Shi at all today, you will still have Li Shi, Zhang Shi, Wang Shi..."

"Because you and I both know that someone needs to bear a son for you—and I am not this person."
