First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 571 Let Him End It All
After all the servants left, Song Zixun stood alone in front of the window, watching the night outside.

The lanterns under the porch glowed faintly, and the entire Duke's Mansion seemed to be immersed in tranquility and serenity.

But he knew...all of this was just an illusion.

Only those trapped in it can see clearly how dirty and filthy it is inside.

He couldn't help but see Du Rongzhi's tearful and bewildered eyes again.

He was not ashamed of Shen's despicable means, and he thought that one day, he would tear off her hypocritical mask in an open and honest manner, so that her reputation would be ruined and she would have nowhere to hide.

But now, he suddenly didn't want to wait anymore.

He didn't want his wife and daughter to have to compromise before he became strong enough, and lived in fear every day; he couldn't bear to see that his beloved, no matter how many hardships and mistreatments he had experienced, was always innocent. The passionate girl who longs for the light consumes all her sincerity and kindness in the plots and tricks, and turns into a housewife who is beyond recognition and can use any means to achieve her goals.

He also didn't realize until now that he was actually so contradictory - he was looking forward to her growing up, but also afraid of her growing up.

He had hoped that she would not always have this kind of stupid naivety, and that she would soon realize how dangerous the world really is - only with a hard heart and ruthless means can she protect herself and the one she loves under her wings.

But just tonight, when he saw the bewilderment and helplessness in her eyes, and saw her deep doubt and self-blame because of her powerlessness, he suddenly felt very distressed.

He would rather that she would always be the little girl with the cleanest smile and the softest heart in his memory than that she would gradually become like Shen Shi through the years of training.

Since there is always someone to do evil...

Then let him end it all.

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

Probably because of something on his mind, Du Rongzhi woke up early the next morning.

Song Zixun was being changed by the maids. Seeing that she woke up, he couldn't help turning his head and said with a warm smile, "Are you awake?"

"En." Du Rongzhi got out of bed, and walked over pulling his shoes, "Shall we leave after dinner?" While speaking, he had already taken the belt from the girl, and quickly tied it on for him.

"No, I got up late today, and I'm going out now." He reached out and touched her earlobe, "Nurse An just said that Gong Baochang's family has woken up... because I saw that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't sleep." Wake you up." He paused, "What are you going to do with it later?"

Du Rongzhi lowered her head and thought for a while, then said softly, "Now there is nothing to ask from her mouth, why not...sell their family away."

Song Zixun murmured, "That's okay... It's just that Gong Baochang's family is from the third house after all. Although it's not their fault that something like this happened now, it's still up to Third Aunt to give an explanation... If it's what I mean , when you turn around, ask Mother An and the others to send the person back, let the third aunt handle everything, and you don't care about anything... Do you think it's good?"

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, then nodded obediently, "Okay."

Song Zixun reached out and touched her pale cheeks, "I think you're still not in a good mood today. After breakfast, go to bed and let someone invite your cousin over to have a look."

Du Rongzhi wanted to refuse, but she smiled submissively into his worried eyes, "Okay... I'll listen to you."

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

"Hey." Xue Chenghe withdrew his hand and sighed helplessly, "It's also ten months pregnant, why are all the other women all rosy, round and jade-like, asking their family members to make offerings like a Bodhisattva, but when it's your turn, it's like going through a catastrophe , do you have to go through 81?"

At first when everyone saw his serious expression, they were afraid that there was something wrong with Du Rongzhi's fetus, they all held their breath and concentrated, not daring to breathe, but now they all felt relieved after hearing these words, and Nanny An couldn't help it. He reproached, "Master Pianbiao is so narrow-minded, it makes us look like something..."

"Mama's words are wrong." Xue Chenghe said seriously, "Rong Zhi's pregnancy was extremely difficult, and there were already signs of instability at first, shouldn't she be more careful now?"

After he finished speaking, he taught Du Rongzhi with a straight face, "I told you last time, in the future, be your rich and idle person, and the sky will fall because the taller one will hold you up... But you have to go You can do this. Fortunately, the child in your womb is still safe, otherwise, do you know how many women are moved because of too much mood swings? Don’t you have to wait until then to realize how powerful you are and know how to regret it?”

Du Rongzhi knew she was wrong, she pursed her lips and whispered, "I already know I was wrong... Doctor Xue."

Xue Chenghe snorted coldly, thought for a while, and then said reluctantly, "Besides, you girl, you have always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted since you were a child... It looks like you are more arrogant than anyone else, but in fact, it is a mess of people who shed two tears and soften their hearts. Since you know what kind of virtue you are, you can't arrest him and tell your cousin-in-law? If you work so hard to give birth to him, he can't even protect your safety?"

Du Rongzhi heard his words getting more and more outrageous, and while waving her hand to motion for Nanny An to lead the maid down, she interrupted, "It's because he's been too busy lately...I don't want to upset him anymore..."

Xue Chenghe snorted, "He's busy... who isn't busy? I just came back from the palace to see a doctor, and I slipped into your house before I could change my clothes... I think I'm almost becoming a dedicated doctor in your house now ’” He couldn’t help but yawned as he spoke.

Du Rongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Which noble person did my cousin come to the palace to see?" Since Xue Chenghe came back from the south and became famous, sometimes the masters in the palace would also ask if they had any intractable diseases. Called him over for a consultation.

Xue Chenghe yawned, "Who else is that Princess Ning'an..."

Du Rongzhi's brows twitched, and she hurriedly said, "Princess Ning An, is there any discomfort?" She thought quickly, Princess Ning An's illness seems to be something that happened this summer... Could it be that there are signs now?

But Xue Chenghe sneered coldly, "She? She's just idle!"

Facing Du Rongzhi's stunned expression, Xue Chenghe said loudly, "You also know that those nobles in the palace are used to being pampered all day long. This Princess Ning'an is even more pampered and pampered. She refuses to take an extra step...how can she recover with her health? But she herself is always paranoid, feeling bad here and there...after a long time, she will become mentally ill!"
