The reborn Duke's wife

Chapter 17
Speaking of this, recalling all kinds of past lives, I can't help but feel sad. In the end, I couldn't hold it back. The bean-sized pearl, like a broken thread, slid down the cheeks and fell to the ground, burning hot. Unburied in the azure blanket on the bluestone floor tiles.

Old Ding Bohou didn't know what happened to Liu Ruxin, he just felt that in her, she had the dead air that only old people in their twilight years had. The sadness of dying years.Let him look distressed.

"Good boy, I have wronged you!"

Seeing Liu Ruxin like this, Liu Hongmin, who was still furious at first, immediately died down, feeling a burst of suffocating pain in his chest, as if being poked again and again with a blunt knife.With heavy hands, she patted Liu Ruxin's thin and straight back, a pair of shrewd and sharp eyes were dripping with cloudy liquid at this moment, and she no longer had the spirited look of the past.At this moment, he is no longer the high-ranking helm of the Hou Mansion, but an ordinary old man who sheds tears because he loves his granddaughter.

"No! Xin'er doesn't feel wronged! It's not a bad thing for Xin'er to soak in the icy cold lake water. At least her mind has cleared up a lot and she wants to understand a lot of things. Xin'er knows that grandpa always loves Xin'er. However, your love cannot accompany Xin'er for a lifetime. Xin'er will grow up one day, and then, without your love, how should Xin'er handle herself? Are you waiting to rely on Third Uncle?"

Every time she thinks of the fate of being wiped out of the family in her previous life, her heart will bleed, as if ten thousand ants are gnawing at her, making her suffocate in pain.Those people are all relatives connected by her blood, how could she abandon her trust in them for the mere benefit.

"Silly boy, don't you still trust your grandfather? Grandpa has already prepared a way out for you. In another year, you will be old and you will be married. Grandpa has carefully selected a family for you. After you reach Ji, you can marry." Old Ding Bohou twitched his beard and said with a determined expression on his face.

After hearing Liu Hongmin's words, Liu Ruxin's eyes widened in astonishment, but her heart was turbulent. In the last life, her grandfather never chose a son-in-law for her, or did something change?Being able to be reborn and predicting the future is her greatest reliance. If there is any change in the process, what is left of Liu Ruxin?
"Grandfather... Grandfather!" Xu Shi was so shocked by the news that she couldn't say a complete sentence for a while.

"What? Are you stupid? Or are we anxious to get married?" Seemingly satisfied with Liu Ruxin's performance, Liu Hongmin said jokingly.The mood has also become a lot lighter.

Liu Ruxin's cheeks were flushed, letting her be a human being for two lifetimes, it was inevitable that she would still feel embarrassed when she heard such words.However, Lao Dingbohou was unwilling to let her go, and continued to speak vividly.Unexpectedly, Liu Ruxin's face changed greatly when she heard it.

"The boy from the Wan family is twenty-two this year, and he has already achieved the position of the commander of the fourth rank at a young age. The official position of the fourth rank may not be obvious in a place where the rich and powerful are everywhere in the capital, but he has it. Real power. It’s no worse than those who look glamorous on the outside but only have a false title. I’ve already asked someone to inquire about it. There is only one elderly mother in his family. She is also very kind and her family is also very rich. It’s the housewife.”

"The surname is Wan!... But Wan Cangxun who is in charge of the capital's military and political affairs department?" Liu Ruxin was shocked, her expression excited, and she grabbed the old Hou Ye's arm, with a thirst for knowledge in her eyes.Although this would arouse the old Hou Ye's suspicions, she couldn't control that much, she couldn't wait to know if that person's surname was really Wan, and his first name was Cang Xun.

Liu Hongmin frowned, Xin'er is the daughter of a boudoir, how could she know a foreigner?Why did they still get so excited when they heard Wan Cangxun's name? Could it be that they... Thinking of this, with a bit of displeasure in their tone, they said, "Xin'er knows that Wanjia boy?"

"Grandfather only told Xin'er whether it was him or not!" Mingming already vaguely had the answer in his heart, but he still held on to Old Ding Bohou's sleeve tightly and stared at him nervously.

"Yes!" Liu Hongmin sat limply on the drunkard's chair, as if all the strength had been removed from his body at once, with deep disappointment in his tone.

A girl in a boudoir who hooks up with a foreign man will be banned from the pig cage if the outsider finds out.Even if she is lucky enough to be married into the family by a man, she will not be able to hold her head up in her in-law's family for the rest of her life.How could my heart be so confused.

"It's him, it's really him!" Liu Ruxin murmured.He felt his entire body lose all color, and his whole body was limp and weak. He staggered back two steps, and suddenly laughed at himself, with a strong sense of sadness in his smile.

It's no wonder that in her previous life, she was plotted against by others in every possible way. It's not because of others, but because she is not strong enough and can't see the current situation clearly.All I know is to rely blindly on other people's charity.Before she got married, she was favored by her grandfather. After she got married, she blindly obeyed. She only wanted to be a good wife and mother, but she didn't know that what she had was her greatest reliance.

"Xin'er! You tell grandfather the truth, you and that Wanjia kid...could you have..." Skin-to-skin relationship!Old Master Hou coughed twice in embarrassment, but finally he didn't have the nerve to ask.It's just that the aggressive gaze carried a kind of scrutiny that made people unable to hide.

"What does grandfather think?" Liu Ruxin suddenly felt wronged in her heart, and began to cry.With a choked voice, he said: "Could it be that Xin'er is so unbearable in Grandpa's heart? In this world, if you don't even believe in Xin'er, grandfather, how will Xin'er deal with herself in the future?"

"Hey! Don't cry. Grandfather is worried about you so he asked this question. Since Xin'er says no, then he doesn't. Who else can grandfather trust besides Xin'er?" After all, Liu Ruxin is the only blood left by his wife. , and it was his granddaughter who had been doting on her for many years. When she saw her cry, her heart was completely confused, and she couldn't bear to be harsh on her.

Liu Ruxin continued: "Xin'er may have never told my grandfather that during the few days when Xin'er fell into a coma, she was always trapped in a dream. In the dream, Xin'er ignored her grandfather's advice and insisted on marrying a businessman's son. I played the role of a virtuous wife and mother to the best of my ability, but in the end I ended up being betrayed by all relatives and never ended well. But the Wanjia boy you speak of is the son of the merchant and the bride who came to find him in order to give up his heart in a legitimate way. The adulterer who came here. Xin'er paid a heavy price for this. Because of adultery, the royal family deprived the mother of the honor that she gave her life to help Xin'er. Removed from the family tree. Xin'er suddenly lost all support. Although he was unwilling and hated, there was nothing he could do. In the end, there was a big fire, and the rest of his life was ended. I thought I should go to the underworld to report, but I didn't know what to do. When I opened my eyes, I went back to the year when I fell into the water at the age of 14."
