Princess, the lord has come to beg for marriage again!

Chapter 879 Don't torture me anymore, okay?

Chapter 879 Don't torture me anymore, okay?

The two were standing by the window talking, when there was a knock on the door.

Dugu Xuejiao turned her head to take a look, but Jun Zitong smiled and asked someone to come in.

The staff of Tongrentang came in one after another, put the brocade box on the table respectfully, and then retreated respectfully.

Dugu Xuejiao looked at the brocade boxes on the table, and looked at her puzzled.

"At first my cousin asked me to meet at Tongrentang, I was still a little puzzled, but now I understand, is my cousin trying to buy the best sore medicine for Xueshi Cui? My cousin is sincere to him."

Jun Zitong didn't care about her jokes, walked to the table, hugged the imperial concubine in one hand, and pointed to two of the brocade boxes with the other.

"These two boxes are for you."

Dugu Xuejiao followed and walked over, opened the two brocade boxes and took a look. She thought that what she gave was a beauty cream that was highly sought after by women from aristocratic families, but she didn't expect it to be lavender essential oil.

Jun Zitong seemed to guess her confusion and explained a few sentences.

"Hearing that Duke Zhen has three new grandchildren, I'm really happy to congratulate him, since I've heard about it, I can't pretend not to know.

Counting carefully, the three little guys still call me aunt, but I don't know what gift to buy for the little one.

I just came to Tongrentang, so I bought two boxes of the most expensive lavender essential oil for your second sister-in-law to express my affection.

The shopkeeper said that this was the best seller, and the mistresses of the big families in Liangjing rushed to buy it, and it was out of stock from time to time. Fortunately, I was quick. "

After hearing her finish, Dugu Xuejiao gave her admiring gaze.

"Since that's the case, I won't be polite to my cousin, in fact, even if my cousin doesn't invite me to come to Tongrentang, I still want to come.

The second sister-in-law had just given birth and was about to take care of it. She has always been keen on the beauty products from Tong Ren Tang, and I planned to buy some for her.

I didn't expect that my cousin and I thought of going together. Does this count as a tacit understanding? "

Jun Zitong patted the imperial concubine's hair twice, showing a rare sweet smile, and seemed to be in a better mood.

Dugu Xuejiao sent her away, and bought some other products at Tong Ren Tang, almost all the popular maternity products, and bought them again.

The guys at Tongrentang almost grinned to their ears.

While the shopkeeper and the staff were happily packing, they made some indirect remarks, and they were really interested in the boss behind the Tong Ren Tang.

It's a pity that the shopkeeper and the guys here seem to have received special training, and they have a very tight tone. No matter how hard they try, they never mention who their boss is.

Because of this, Dugu Xuejiao became even more curious, but she didn't pursue it further.

The shopkeeper watched the three of them leave, then hurried up to the third floor, walked to the door of the innermost room, said a few words in a low voice, then quietly listened to the instructions inside, and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand. Just went back to the first floor.

At this moment in the room, a ray of light came in through the carved window, casting faint light spots on the jade floor.

In the middle of the room, a small carved red sandalwood table was set up with a chessboard on it, and two men in Chinese clothes sat on the left and the right.

The man on the left is wearing a moon-white brocade robe, holding a white chess piece in his hand, with a slightly playful expression on his lips.

"I heard that Miss Dugu is very close to the Prince Regent."

The man on the right is wearing a long black robe, and he is pinching the black chess piece with his snow-white fingers. The contrast is sharp, and the whiteness is even more lonely.

"so what?"

There was an evil smile on the corner of the man's mouth, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"I heard that the Owl Eagle Guard of the Prince Regent is secretly investigating you recently."

The man in black remained unmoved, like an old monk in meditation, unbelievably calm, he didn't even lift his head, his long and narrow eyes were only staring at the chessboard, and his voice was lazy.

"so what?"

Seeing him like this, the man in white seemed to be used to it for a long time, but he was still very interested.

"Aren't you afraid that the Prince Regent will trouble you? If Miss Dugu is really the woman the Prince Regent likes, maybe you can..."

The expression of the man in black finally changed, but he sneered.

"In terms of business and business, I don't understand political affairs in the court, and I don't seek power. I'm just a businessman. If I want to be the regent, I won't cross the line. If I can risk family threats and propose political reforms, I shouldn't be a small-hearted person."

The man in white was propping his chin with one hand, squinting his eyes, his pupils were cold and swarthy, and there was a hint of frivolity at the end of his eyes, which was extremely elusive.

"Heh, you trust the regent very much, but after all you robbed Tingfeng Lou of his business, isn't it just a blatant fight with him? No matter how generous the regent is, he can't watch you happily jump around, right?"

The man in black glanced at the chessboard, dropped the black stone on his fingertips, and the expression on his beautiful face remained unchanged.

"you lose."

The man in white smiled and threw the white pieces in his hand into the bowl, smiled playfully, but stopped talking.

There is a gold-plated copper incense burner in the corner of the room, and light smoke is spit out from the mouth of the Qilin beast, and the room is filled with a warm and intoxicating atmosphere.

Liangjing, Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Although Dugu Xuejiao agreed to Jun Zitong, she really didn't have any confidence in her heart. The current Shen Yunmo was no longer the shy and taciturn boy she remembered.

She thought hard all night, then got into the embroidery room in the mansion the next day, locked herself up for another day and night, did not get up early until the third day, and rushed to Zheng Guogong's mansion without stopping.

Because it was still early, I went to Tailing Court first.

With the help of Li Gen and An Jiaxuan, Aunt An has recovered a lot. Although her legs are still unable to walk, her spirit has improved a lot.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but since I happened to meet An Jiaxuan last time, the number of times he came to Zheng Guogong's mansion has increased significantly.

However, Li Gen seemed to want to avoid him.

If An Jiaxuan went there during the day, she would climb over the wall and sneak in at night.

If An Jiaxuan was guarding the mansion at night, she would squat on a tree and wait for him to leave before entering.

The two are like a cat catching a mouse, making it confusing.

Dugu Xuejiao is so smart, so she can guess something, but she doesn't understand it very well, but she doesn't gossip about it, she just turns a blind eye.

The only thing she cares about now is Aunt An's condition. As long as she gets better gradually, the two of them can do whatever they want.

Now Aunt An's spirit is much better. During the day, Xia Chi will put her on a wheelchair and push her to the yard to bask in the sun.

As soon as Dugu Xuejiao walked to the gate of Tailing Courtyard, she heard intermittent crying and was startled. She was about to walk quickly, but she stopped when she heard a familiar voice.

Li Gen was afraid of meeting An Jiaxuan, so he didn't follow, only Meteor followed behind, and when he saw her listening to the corner of the wall like a thief, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Miss is really getting more and more...unseemly, if this is seen by the servants of Zheng Guogong's mansion, the scene is really unimaginable.

Thinking this way in my heart, my body was very honest, and my ears were pressed tightly against the wall, for fear of missing a word.

The master and servant hid secretly at the door, listening to the quarrel inside.

Aunt An was sitting in a wheelchair, her legs were covered with a blanket, her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

There was a man squatting in front of her, with both hands resting on the handles of the wheelchair, staring at her blankly with red eyes, trembling all over, unaware that a big teardrop was rolling down his cheek.

"Auntie, don't lie to yourself, Qingqing is dead! It's been four years!"

Aunt An shook her head in panic, her expression was a little shy, but she burst out with unprecedented strength, and the volume increased without her noticing.

"No! No! Qingqing is not dead! She always comes to see me recently, she is my Qingqing! I won't admit it!"

Xia Chi stood aside, watching the mother and daughter nervously, rubbing the corners of their clothes with his small hands, but he didn't dare to rush forward to persuade them.

Shen Qingyang looked at Aunt An who was so hysterical, and felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She knew that she shouldn't provoke Aunt An now, after all, she had already lost her legs and couldn't stand the blow at all.

But she didn't want Aunt An to live in vain all the time, and wanted her to face the rest of her life bravely.

She was so entangled and struggling in her heart that she didn't even know whether she was trying to convince Aunt An or to comfort herself.

If it was possible, why did she ever want to lose her only sister, the sister who is connected by blood.

The more Shen Qingyang thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, her chest tightened intermittently, as if someone was pinching her heart to bleed, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Auntie, how long are you going to lie to yourself? How many times do you have to tell me that Qingqing is dead! She will never come back again!
My life is already a mess, I don't want to worry about you anymore, just take pity on me and stop torturing me, okay?Qingyi is your daughter, and I am your daughter too..."

These words seem to be asking Aunt An, but more like asking herself again.

Aunt An looked at her tearful daughter, as if her heart had been pricked by a needle, she couldn't help but raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes.

"Sister Yang, your sister is really not dead. I really saw her. Do you trust Auntie?"

Shen Qingyang stared at her thin face, and beat her chest vigorously with her fists, but the more she beat, the more she couldn't breathe, almost suffocated, and finally she could only kneel on the ground in frustration, with her head on Aunt An's lap.

"Auntie, you don't know anything, woo woo woo, sometimes I always think, if you forget what you don't want to remember, maybe I will be happier.

But, I can't lie to myself all the time, what should I do, woo woo woo, if Qingqing is still alive, she will definitely help me out, right?

My family, Qingqing, is the smartest, I miss her very much, and I know that my aunt also misses her very much, although you used to be strict with her, always blaming her for not doing well enough, not perfect, but I know , you are more uncomfortable than her heart.

Because of this, you can't accept that Qingqing is dead, can you?Even if your leg is broken, even if you torture yourself like this, you don't want to wake up, you are punishing yourself, aren't you?
Cousin An's family has already told me that before when he came to show you his legs, you always scolded him away and refused to let him touch them at all, and even forced you to die to let yourself live in pain.

But recently you said that you saw Qingqing, and you wanted to live a new life for Qingqing, and even the An family cousin came to see you, and you didn't drive him away anymore.

Auntie, in fact, you are not confused at all, and you have not become stupid, you just... just... If I were like you, I would be so confused..."

Shen Qingyang lay on Aunt An's lap, her tears wet the blanket, soaked her clothes, and landed on her skin, as if her heart was scalded.

Aunt An stroked her hair, her tears couldn't stop falling, she tasted salty and astringent, but she never said a word.

The mother and daughter cried together, there was nowhere to hide their sorrow, as if even the breeze in the yard had become sticky and bitter.

Xia Chi watched from the side, couldn't help turning his head away, his eyes were crying like walnuts.

Dugu Xuejiao practiced martial arts, and her hearing was already very good. In addition, after she became a yin and yang judge, her five senses were stronger than ordinary people, and she could clearly hear the conversation between mother and daughter.

But the more clearly I heard, the more uncomfortable I felt, my chest was stuffy, and there was a pain like a needle prick.

Meteor only heard the quarrel between the mother and daughter, and opened his mouth in surprise, as if he had discovered an amazing secret.

"Miss, the one inside is Miss Qingyi's own sister, right? I heard that she is married to the second son of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

I didn't expect that with such a high status, there are also sad things that are not known to the public. It is really hard to recite in every family. "

After finishing speaking, she shook her head secretly, seeing that Dugu Xuejiao had a dignified expression, she didn't answer the words at all, and touched the tip of her nose embarrassingly.

"Miss, shall we still go in?"

Dugu Xuejiao looked alienated, and after a long while, she shook her head, until she heard the sound of footsteps getting closer, she dragged the meteor to dodge aside.

Shen Qingyang cried on Aunt An's lap, telling her all the bitterness in her heart and the unsatisfactory life, no matter whether she understood or not, she finally said it out, no need to block her heart, and she felt better .

Sometimes she even thought that it's good for Aunt An to pretend to be a fool and live in her own closed world. In this way, she would have someone to confide in, otherwise, sooner or later, she would die of depression.

When a married daughter encounters unsatisfactory things, who else can she turn to besides her own relatives, but her sister is gone, and all she can look for is Aunt An.

If Aunt An was fine as usual, she would not be able to say some things.

Shen Qingyang placed Aunt An in the house, then walked out, called Xia Chi aside, and asked about Dugu Xuejiao in detail.

Xia Chi didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the story in detail.

Although Ms. Dugu explained that nothing that happened in the yard should be told to others, but the eldest lady is not an outsider, she is the closest relative of my aunt.

After Shen Qingyang listened, she didn't feel very sad, but was very grateful to Dugu Xuejiao.

"Xiachi, take good care of Auntie, I will come to see her in a while, and Miss Dugu is still my niece.

Such a noble person like her can think highly of my aunt, is willing to find a miracle doctor for my aunt to treat her leg problems, and is even willing to cooperate with my aunt to pretend to be affectionate. I think she is a very kind child.

If she comes again next time, you can send me a message, and when I am free, I will definitely go to the Zhen Guogong's mansion to thank her in person. "

Xia Chi nodded hastily, and sent her out of the courtyard. He didn't turn his head until she could no longer be seen, his face full of melancholy, and he let out a faint sigh.
