rich concubine

Chapter 1933 Dead End
Although the two started talking, Jiang Shunyi still felt distressed when looking at Lu Ruyi's pitiful eyes. He blamed himself in his heart, but he couldn't say anything at the moment, so he just held her to comfort her.

After a long time, he said: "Even if the Lu family really falls, you are still my wife. Don't think too much about anything. I will try my best to do whatever I can. There is only one thing I can't coax you."

He paused, swallowed slightly, his throat rolled, and said: "Neither I nor my father or mother can do anything. I don't know what happened to the Lu family. The matter of that county magistrate is not small."

Lu Ruyi had calmed down, and she said, "I understand that you will not be able to survive if you do your own evil. You have to pay for the evil you have done. It has not been easy for the Jiang family to get to where they are today. We cannot be stigmatized because of one Yue's family."

The life of a big family requires more caution and avoidance. It does not mean that the greater the power, the more opportunities to make mistakes.

On the contrary, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. You can use your power to do good things ten thousand times, but if you do evil once, just once, all the previous good things will be overturned and destroyed in an instant with just a thought.

The world envies those people who are in high and powerful positions. They envy them that they have everything and can get everything. But how do they know that the higher they are in high positions, the more they feel cold all over and see too much evil. If you pay attention, you will be infected, and once you are infected, it is difficult to tell whether you are a human or a ghost.

Just like those century-old noble families, they are still gods among the common people and a breath of fresh air in the eyes of the royal family. It is not easy to achieve these two things at the same time and guarantee it for more than a hundred years. Imperial power is supreme. In this era, sometimes, it is right and wrong.

It can be seen that the Chang family is still standing and has not declined, which is enough to show how well the Chang family knows how to behave.

No matter how loyal and virtuous the minister is, he will arouse suspicion, and no matter how evil the person is, he will also have glory, but there are differences in the comparison.

The Lu family was not a famous family in the past, but it was just because of the eldest princess that the tide had risen. If they had known how to restrain themselves at all, they might not worry Lu Ruyi so much now.

At the same time, Lu Shiyi was taken back by Lu's father for no other reason than that the Lu family's daughter could not live on the street while everyone watched.

When Lu Shiyi was taken back to the Lu Mansion, her consciousness was already a little unclear. Her eyes were dull and she was mumbling words, but she couldn't understand what she was saying.

Seeing her like this, Father Lu felt distressed and blamed himself, but he was more worried about his future.

He took one last look at his daughter and left.

Not long after he left, Lu Shiyi clamored to see her mother.

Mrs. Lu was so worried about family affairs that she didn't want to see her at first, but when she heard that Magistrate Cao had left her a private fortune, she couldn't sit still and came to see her immediately.

Lu Shijian saw that she was not surprised at all by her arrival. At this moment, she was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. The things on the table were all the rouge she used before getting married. It had long been covered with a layer of dust, but she was already Not dissatisfied anymore, he blew away the dust on it, looked calm, and applied makeup in the mirror.

Seeing how she looked like this, she didn't look insane at all. Mrs. Lu couldn't help but wonder if she was really crazy, until she spoke...

"Mom, is this color beautiful?" Looking at the pink rouge on her cheeks, Mrs. Lu didn't know why, but she actually saw her daughter's appearance on her face. Her daughter, who was learning to apply makeup for the first time, also looked like this. , smeared the rouge very deeply and printed it on her face. It looked funny and made her laugh for several days.

But now, seeing Lu Shiyi like this, she couldn't laugh, and her impatience suddenly disappeared.

I thought there would always be a tough battle to fight this time, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the atmosphere became strangely calm.

"Do you still have time to put on makeup now?" She said, finding a place to sit down. Although her tone was not good, she was less impatient after all.

Lu Shiyi smiled as if she hadn't heard anything. Her eyes were not bright but sparkling. She said: "When I looked at this makeup, I thought of my sister. At that time, my sister applied her own makeup and made us laugh. After a long time, she blushed and said she would never wear makeup again, but she practiced it over and over again in private. Later, one time, her newly purchased rouge was passed off as inferior by someone below, and she got acne after using it on her face. If there is a red rash, she will not dare to use makeup anymore.”

When people are lonely, it is always easy to recall the past. When Lu Shiyi said it, Mrs. Lu naturally remembered it, but now every time she thinks about her daughter, her heart aches.

She said: "Now that something big has happened in the family, I don't know if it will affect her. If the palace makes things difficult for her because of this matter, how can she with such a soft temper endure it?"

After hearing this, Lu Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then heard her say again: "It's all because of this Cao Rong! If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't be like this. You said you..."

She was busy talking, and when she got here, she suddenly paused, because she woke up and realized that this marriage was indeed what she insisted on, so what did it have to do with her?
Thinking of this, I felt even more depressed. I couldn't help but cover my heart, making a miserable gesture, and said, "Why is my life so miserable! What are these things!"

Lu Shiyi became more and more silent, and a hole opened in her heart. The more she spoke, the deeper the hole became, and it could no longer heal on its own.

Mrs. Lu said to herself: "I know you hate me and blame me for giving you this marriage, but as the daughter of the Lu family, you will get married sooner or later. It was Na Cao Rong who fell in love with you in the first place, and I..."

Lu Shiyi smiled softly, her eyes dull, and she said: "Earlier, I was a little bit blaming you and my father for forcing me to marry a man who could be my father. But later, he was really good to me. He was so good to me. I feel like no one in my life has been so kind to me, so good that some of his weird hobbies can be tolerated. Gradually, I don’t feel weird anymore. I have my own child, which is pretty good."

At this point, she glanced at Mrs. Lu and couldn't help but ask: "But I still want to ask you, if Jiang Shunyi had not come to pester my sister and my sister was not married, Cao Rong would have liked her. Will you and your father be willing to marry her to Cao Rong?"

Mrs. Lu immediately frowned. Although she said nothing, it seemed from her expression that Lu Shiyi had already got the answer. She smiled again, laughing at herself for asking a redundant question.

"Perhaps I was born to pay off debts. My mother robbed your man, and you made me spend my whole life trying to atone for my sins. But I don't understand why. You are also a mother. I have been with you since I was a child. When I grow up and have been your daughter for more than 20 years, you really have no sympathy for me. Tell me, do you feel any regret every time I call you mother?"

At this point, she was already filled with tears. She looked at Mrs. Lu with empty eyes.
