First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 636
……

"Cousin?!" Du Rongzhi called softly, and tears filled her eyelashes instantly.

Xue Chenghe nodded calmly.

Perhaps because of being too busy recently, Xue Chenghe has been haggard a lot. Even wearing heavy winter clothes, he looks very slender and thin.

He said softly, "I have already discussed this matter with my mother. Now my eldest cousin is far away in Qingzhou, and Brother Zhao is young...Although I am a nephew, I have been living in Du's house all these years. My uncle and aunt treat me even more... It’s as if it’s my own. Now that the family is employing people, it’s my duty to go there on my behalf.”

What's more, he is a doctor himself, if he can personally participate in the treatment, the chances of Master Du surviving will be a little higher.

It's not that Du Rongzhi didn't think about it before, but Suyang is far away from the capital after all, even if he travels day and night, it will take several days, not to mention that according to the current situation, the way to go is probably not smooth, Xue Chenghe said Scholar, not their Du family... She couldn't say such a request.

But now he brought it up by himself... How can Du Rongzhi not be moved?

She congratulated Xue Cheng with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "Don't say thank you for your kindness... At the beginning, my cousin rescued me from the gate of hell, and now I volunteered to volunteer to run thousands of miles for those of us who are children..."

Xue Chenghe waved his hand, "I don't need to talk about this... When my mother and I came all the way to the capital to seek refuge, why did my aunt and uncle treat us as outsiders? Since we are a family, being filial to the elders is what should be done, Mr. My sister doesn't need to be polite to me."

Du Rongzhi nodded, and didn't say any extra words, but said sternly, "This journey is difficult and dangerous, you must be more careful..." She thought for a while, but then said worriedly, "The accompanying people can be arranged carefully. How about I ask your brother-in-law to send some guards..."

Xue Chenghe interrupted disapprovingly, "There is no need to be so troublesome." He comforted with a smile, "Don't think of me too weakly, big sister. Back then when the chaos in the south was like that, I'm fine too? I'll take care of it all Well... it's my aunt and mother, after I leave, if you are free, you should come back to accompany them more often, so that they can feel at ease."

Du Rongzhi nodded seriously, "I definitely will." She paused, "Cousin, great kindness——"

Xue Chenghe's face couldn't help showing his trademark, big grinning smile again, "Since when did the eldest sister become such a mother-in-law? Could it be that our brothers and sisters still want you to be courteous until dark?"

It didn't matter if he didn't smile. With this smile, the fine lines on his already thin face became more obvious.

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, "In that case, I won't say thank you..." She hesitated for a while, then glanced at Xue Chenghe's robe that could barely support it, "Cousin, there is one more Actually, I've wanted to ask you for a long time..." She pursed her lips and said softly, "You have some liking for Princess Ning'an, right?"

Xue Chenghe's smile froze on his face, and it took a while before it turned into a faint wry smile. "Like it or not, what difference does it make between me and her?"

He hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, "Don't worry, I know myself... I won't have fantasies about things that don't belong to me."

Du Rongzhi sighed softly, "Since my cousin understands this truth, let's forget about those who should be forgotten... Otherwise, I will be the one who suffers in the end."

Xue Chenghe was silent for a while, "I know." He smiled calmly, "It's about my uncle's business, and I also plan to end the medical center in the capital and take my mother back to Dingzhou."

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

The carriage drove steadily towards the Duke's Mansion.

Du Rongzhi leaned sideways on the carriage, staring blankly at a corner, not knowing what she was thinking.

Song Zixun leaned over, put his arms around her waist, and said softly, "But are you still worried about your father-in-law?" He straightened her hair, "My cousin is very skilled in medicine, and now I have him to help... I believe my father-in-law It will definitely come through.”

Du Rongzhi's eyes were sour, and she buried her face in his arms.After a long time, he asked in a nasal voice, "Zixun, you said that a person's luck... has a definite number?"

God gave her the favor of being reborn once, which changed the fate of her parents who died young in her previous life, and even gave her a happy marriage, well-behaved and lovely children...

These years, her father has been going smoothly and his official career has been prosperous. Even Xue Chenghe, by coincidence, showed his talents in the plague in advance and became famous all over the world... But now, all this good luck seems to have come to an end—her father was assassinated and seriously injured, and his life and death are uncertain. , Xue Chenghe's reputation spread far and wide, but because of this, he was highly valued by the sage, and was involved in love-hate entanglements with Princess Ning'an, and had to leave sadly...

The better life she had brought to her family because of her rebirth, which she was once complacent about, seemed to have become a mirage, all disillusioned...

Song Zixun didn't know what was going on in her heart, but felt that Du Rongzhi was frightened by what happened to Mr. Du, so he couldn't help rubbing her back gently, and said softly, "Didn't you just persuade your mother-in-law? What happened over there?" We don't know how, we can't scare ourselves first..." He said, but he could feel the body in his arms trembling slightly.

Song Zixun was startled, and reached out to help her to find out, but Du Rongzhi held his hand even tighter, "Zixun," she clenched her teeth, but her voice still couldn't hide the trembling, "I I'm really scared..." I'm afraid that God will regret it, regret giving her another chance, afraid that he will take away everything she loves and cares about...

But she couldn't say anything, she couldn't say anything, the only thing she could do was to hold Song Zixun's skirt tightly with both hands, like a drowning person, holding onto the last straw.

Song Zixun hugged her back, "I don't know whether people's luck is fixed or not, but I think that as long as you face it bravely, no matter how difficult things are, they will eventually pass." He whispered softly and firmly in her ear, " Rong Zhi, be strong...your mother and younger brother still need your comfort and encouragement."

The skirt of his chest was already wet... The coldness passed through his clothes layer by layer, making him shiver uncontrollably.

But he just hugged her silently, without saying anything to comfort her.

What happened to Master Du this time also sounded the alarm for him - no one knows what will happen in the future, Du Rongzhi must learn to grow up.

Only when she becomes stronger, if one day he is no longer by her side, or can no longer protect her, can she not be crushed by despair and can live more bravely.

Du Rongzhi sobbed and took a breath.

After a long time, she wiped away her tears vigorously, looked up at him, and said in the same firm tone, "I see."
