Peach concubine

Indistinctly, a trace of clarity finally emerged in my mind.

Jian Ruolin seemed to hear a man and a woman talking not far away from her.

The woman said: "Why haven't you woken up yet? Didn't you say that the dose of the medicine is very light?" The voice sounded very familiar.Then a male voice rang out: "It's the most common drug, and I didn't dare to lower the dosage. It stands to reason that I can wake up in half an hour." The voice was getting closer and closer, and it should be that the person talking Come closer to have a look.

Jian Ruolin only felt that her body was a little heavy, she struggled drowsily to wake up, and tried hard to open her eyes.

Although he felt that he had exhausted all his strength and failed to achieve any effect, he heard the female voice exclaimed in surprise, and then said: "Did you see, he moved."

Then a pair of hands slapped his cheeks, and the male voice kept repeating in his ear: "Hey, wake up..."

The boundless darkness gradually receded, and the light came in from the opening of the eyes, and the two figures in the field of vision swayed, and they seemed a little blurry.He heard the female voice shouting: "He's awake, he's awake." After a while, his consciousness finally recovered, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.

Jian Ruolin struggled to sit up, and saw clearly that there were a man and a woman in front of her.The man had never seen him before, but after looking at him for a while, he had a flirtatious and handsome face, with a smile that was not a smile at the corner of his mouth, and there was a vibe very much like Xiao Jingmo's luxurious son!Qi.As for that woman, she has met twice before, Xiao Jingmo's wife is called Wanzhen.

Jian Ruolin slowly recalled the past, meeting Mrs. Xiao Wanzhen in Liufang Pavilion... When she returned to the conservatory, someone approached from behind... Then there was the pungent smell of potion... The memory stayed here , the future is just a blur of chaos.Jian Ruolin still looked up at the two of them, as well as the strange environment she was in, and made sure that she must have been dazed and tied here.But looking at the expressions of the two, I couldn't believe that they would do this.

Just now, I was hesitating whether I should speak or not, and what to say when I did, I heard Wanzhen say softly: "Young Master Jian, I really offended you, Wanzhen is here to accompany you on behalf of Yuhe." With an apologetic face, he turned his head and reprimanded the man beside him: "Yuhe, you still haven't apologized to Mr. Jian. You don't know when you can change your temper. I mean to invite Mr. Jian to come over, but you shouldn't In this way! It's too rude."

The man was reprimanded a few times, but he didn't show embarrassment, he still clasped his fists carelessly, and said, "Bai Qi, my name is Yuhe, it's a pleasure to meet you." Jian Ruolin was stunned, not knowing how to react, But the man named Bai Qi continued on his own: "It's true that I made my own decision... I really have no choice but to make such a bad plan. But if I don't use some extreme measures, with Mr. Jian's cold heart, I would like to please you." I'm afraid it's not easy for you to come to this 'Zangjiao Villa'?"

Jian Ruolin's mind is sensitive and delicate, and she seems to be aware that the man in front of her is complaining and complaining about her, and there is always such a bit of unclear sharp resentment in the rising tone of her speech.

Wanzhen is also a woman with a tactful mind, so she naturally saw the faint embarrassment between the two of them, so she quickly pulled Bai Qi and said, "Say less." Then she turned her head to look at Jian Ruolin, her eyes seemed to be pleading: "Mr. I've already come, let's go and see my husband. It shouldn't be so serious, but my husband has been burning for so many days, and it's not getting better. The doctor said it might be a heart attack, and my husband has been thinking about you, please look at me In terms of friendship in the past, at least it’s good to take a look.”

Up to this moment, Jian Ruolin's mind is still in a daze. Listening to her words, the words "Sanggong" are like sharp thorns piercing into her heart.His face became paler and paler, and after hearing what Wanzhen said, his raised face remained silent: "I have nothing to do with him for a long time."

Before Wanzhen opened her mouth, Bai Qi said with a worried expression: "Thank you for being able to say this, Jing Mo almost died because of you, even a friend, shouldn't be so desperate, right? What's more, Jing Mo used to How did it treat you, you have to think about it yourself." He said this, clearly not knowing the whole story of Jian Ruolin and Xiao Jingmo's separation and reunion.

Being rebuked in vain, Jian Ruolin would be lying in her heart if she said she was not wronged, the phrase "almost died" was heard in her ears, and she wondered if it was really so serious?The pair of delicate brow peaks unconsciously frowned.

"Anyway, I brought you here, you have to take a look anyway, even if you have to carry it, I have to carry you over."

Jian Ruolin looked at him, then lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked unwillingly: "Where is he?"

When seeing Xiao Jingmo, even though Jian Ruolin had a firm mind and a cold heart, she couldn't help being taken aback for a moment.

In my impression, Xiao Jingmo is always associated with words like "flying" and "arbitrary", like a gust of wind and a handful of fire.But the man lying on the bed at this moment is not half as carefree and sassy as before, his face is pale with sunken eye sockets, a sweat towel is placed on his forehead, and he only wears a white cloth jacket, lying there for no reason gives birth to weakness.

This feeling is really against harmony, because no matter how you look at it, Xiao Jingmo doesn't seem like a person who can be described as "weak".

As soon as he saw Jian Ruolin, those slightly dim eyes lit up, and when he got close to the bed, the man had already stretched out his hand and held his hand tightly, as if trying to confirm the person in front of him.

Jian Ruolin hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't break free—but she didn't want to leave any traces.

Xiao Jingmo's eyes looked at him directly, full of affection, pain, and remorse, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.I had no choice but to turn my head away and turn a blind eye, thinking about it in my heart, after some hesitation, I still asked in a low voice: "Why did you become like this?"

"I failed you, this is God punishing me for you." As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a hoarse hiss.

Jian Ruolin looked at the air in front of him, and said lightly: "There is no punishment or no punishment. No one is responsible for you and me. Don't think about all these things, just take care of your injuries." It's a business, don't let Madam Zun worry about you anymore." He was reminding Xiao Jingmo that his wife is still with him, so there is no room for him to join.

"You still won't forgive me after all, will you?"

"You didn't do anything wrong, so how about forgiveness?"

When he said that, Xiao Jingmo knew that he was still unwilling to look back. Once such a gentle and docile person became stubborn, it would be really scary.Xiao Jingmo really regretted it, and knew that this moment was his last chance. If he didn't take advantage of his injury and Jian Ruolin's relatively soft heart to speak clearly, I'm afraid there will be a real relationship between the two of them in the future. There is no room for repentance.

"Ruolin, give me a chance to explain."

Jian Ruolin sat there pursing her lips and saying nothing.

Xiao Jingmo's voice became a little anxious: "Even if you convicted me, you still have to give me a chance to defend myself. You can't just put me to death for no reason?"

Jian Ruolin finally took a look at him indifferently, and said, "You speak too seriously. If you have anything to say, just say it, I'll listen."

On the contrary, Xiao Jingmo hesitated for a while, and then he said slowly:

"Me, Bai Qi, and Luo Zhanfeng, we are all the same people. We were born in a powerful family, and we can't help but decide many things by ourselves. We knew from a very young age that we had a heavy burden on our shoulders. We don’t even have the right to decide our own business, even marriage. So when we were young, we played around and played with the world, just because we knew that once we inherited the family business, it would be a burden for a lifetime, and we would hardly have a moment to enjoy it in the future.”

"We are used to acting on occasion, and dare not show our true feelings, because we will not be recognized by the family anyway, and it may bring or cause more misfortunes. Do you know how terrible it is to get used to this kind of thing? Later, even I don’t even know what’s real and what’s fake.”

"I have been with you for so long, and then I only followed my previous thoughts and habits, thinking that we could meet each other in the open, get together and break up...just like I did before. But I was very hesitant in my heart. I have been unable to speak, and I don’t want to break up this relationship in my heart. If you didn’t bump into me and Wanzhen that day... I was so excited at the time, I thought that it would be better to hit the sun than to choose another day, so I would just make a mess of you and me. That’s all, that’s why I said those words.”

"But it was the stupidest thing I've ever done. I regretted it very quickly. Then I went to see you. You were so sick and delirious. When I saw you like that, I just thought I didn't care anymore. I just want to be with you because of family business or parents’ wishes. Ruolin, no matter what, I don’t want to let you go. I’ve realized that I can’t accept you being with others, and I can’t accept not having you by my side I have already tasted that taste, and I don't want to taste it again."

Seeing that Jian Ruolin's face was pale and his lips moved, Xiao Jingmo was afraid of hearing some harsh words from him, so he interrupted:

"Please, don't say anything like 'a moment of confusion', 'a man who is in love', that's what I'm an asshole. I didn't know that until I heard you say it to me. How much it hurts, how much I hurt you before. Ruolin, I know my heart and what I want."

In the end, Xiao Jingmo was almost in a state of fighting between beasts, and he had never seen him pleading so humbly: "Please trust me again, I will never betray you again."

After Jian Ruolin listened to him quietly, Fang said coldly, "Xiao Jingmo, where did you put me?"

Xiao Jingmo didn't expect such a lukewarm interrogation in exchange for his heart-pounding mantra, he was stunned for a moment, tongue-tied: "What, what?"

There was no emotion in Jian Ruolin's eyes, she was as indifferent as a stranger, and her tone was light: "If you don't understand, I can ask you again, where did you put your first wife?"

Xiao Jingmo hastily said: "Wanzhen is just a marriage arranged by her parents when she was young. Although she and I are husband and wife, we have no relationship between husband and wife..." The implication is that Wanzhen is just a nominal love for Xiao Jingmo. Ma'am, there is nothing more than a reputation and a good harmony on the surface. To put it bluntly, it is just a tool to continue the incense. Although Xiao Jingmo treats her well, it is more like a kind of politeness.

But after Jian Ruolin listened, the chill on her face became more serious, her voice was still cold, her sharp blade-like eyes fell on Xiao Jingmo's face, and she hesitated several times: "The Xiao Jingmo I know can be ignorant, but he can't be shameless!" These words have already been said seriously, and Xiao Jingmo's face became paler when he heard it, and the next words became more sharp: "I ask you, what kind of identity do you want me to be with you, male pet? Servant? Or put me in the Competing with a group of women in your backyard?"

"No, I won't..." Xiao Jingmo felt cold sweat break out all over his body.

Jian Ruolin ignored his embarrassment, and continued: "Unfortunately, your wish cannot be fulfilled. Even though Jian Ruolin is a man, he has his own pride. Even if he loves each other, he still requires mutual loyalty. What I want is to be single-minded. Other room for maneuver."

"I, but the only person I treat with sincerity is you!" Xiao Jingmo's hand tightened and he held him tightly.

"So what?" Jian Ruolin seemed to have seen through everything: "Can you abandon your wife for me? Can you give me a place to share side by side? Can you let us appear in front of people openly and fall in love in the world? ?” He was originally gentle, but at this moment he was forced into an aggressive posture: “No matter why you married Mrs. Zun, she is your wife after all, and I am one step too late after all. Even if you allow I, if I abandon my wife and children wholeheartedly, I am afraid that I will underestimate you at that time──Xiao Jingmo should not be an irresponsible husband and father!"

Jian Ruolin has an extremely proud personality, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. How can such a person tolerate Xiao Jingmo being entangled in love with him while marrying and having children?

Regardless of whether Xiao Jingmo's love is true or not, Jian Ruolin can forgive him for being ruthless, but cannot accept the fact that he already has a wife.As long as he is a mortal, he cannot be exempt from vulgarity, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.The person he wants to love must also be as single-minded as him.

It has nothing to do with jealousy, it's just a man who is married to a wife, who is still promiscuous. Jian Ruolin hates this kind of person the most.

Xiao Jingmo opened his mouth wide, he couldn't hide the shock and despair on his face, he opened and closed several times, but he couldn't say anything.

"Let's end it, Xiao Jingmo..." After finishing this sentence, Jian Ruolin also felt helpless. He knew that this heart-to-heart talk was the real severance of love and righteousness. The pain was unspeakable, struggling to watch Xiao Jingmo spit out every word: "We have no turning back." For a moment, two lines of tears flowed down, desolate and hopeless.

──Finally pushed him away with my own hands, and ended this fruitless love.

Xiao Jingmo was right in saying that "men are not allowed to fall in love in this world", even if Xiao Jingmo hadn't had negative feelings first, the two of them were destined not to be able to make it to the end. In this world, there is no tolerance enough to tolerate two men falling in love with each other The point of keeping.It's so embarrassing, even if they barely walk together, they will end up breaking up unhappy.

It is not a bad thing to see the road ahead and the direction clearly.

At night, Xiao Jingmo's high fever finally subsided, but he seemed to have lost some weight for no reason.

Bai Qi sat opposite him, and said first: "I told you not to provoke that Mr. Jian, lest you regret it in the future, let me tell you how it is now." He and Bai Qi are not just simple They are friends with wine and meat, but they have been friends since they wore open crotch pants, so Bai Qi has always been relatively close to him, and there is no taboo in words.

After finishing the sarcasm, Bai Qi ruthlessly handed over the medicine bowl in his hand: "Drink it quickly!"

In the past at this time, Xiao Jingmo would reply with a few words. Among this group of people, his eloquence has always been excellent, the kind that can block people with two words.But this time, he took the medicine bowl silently, sipped it in small sips, his eyes were devoid of energy, and he stared at the front absently, not knowing what he was looking at or thinking.

Bai Qi couldn't see the appearance of an arrogant and arrogant person. After taking back the empty bowl, he couldn't help but spit: "Look at what you look like, don't look like you are going to die!" She also said to comfort Xiao Jingmo : "That Jian Ruolin is also very heartless, if you are sick like this, he won't be able to say a few nice words."

Bai Qi was very upset about Xiao Jingmo's mental state getting worse after Jian Ruolin's visit.

Xiao Jingmo said: "Don't blame him, there will be no chance in the future."

In a word, Bai Qi recognized that the two really broke up.Originally, he didn't really understand the cause and effect. Hearing what Xiao Jingmo said, he could only respond: "That's fine, it should have been like this a long time ago."

After a long silence, I heard Xiao Jingmo ask: "Have you checked the origins of those bandits?"

Bai Qi was surprised: "You also know that they have problems?" The tone seemed to be satirizing Xiao Jingmo at this stage because of the emotional injury, even his mind was dulled a lot, but he still had such ordinary eyesight, which made Xiao Jingmo dumbfounded.

"At any rate, I was the one who was chased by them for seven miles. Ordinary strongman, who has such means and kung fu, it was clearly planned early in the morning." Xiao Jingmo stretched out his hand to pat Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "Quickly tell me, who is it?" Where did it come from?"

Bai Qi let out a "squeak" and said coldly: "What else could it be, isn't it the one in Beijing, who wants to kill you."

"Him?" Xiao Jingmo really smiled wryly this time: "I've already hid here, so what else is he worried about?"

"Unless you're dead, you're always a threat anyway."

Even if they are of the same flesh and blood and as close as brothers, they are still separated from each other. What kind of heart is wrapped under that skin?Who can know?

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, hurry up and heal your injury, such a sick look doesn't look like you." Bai Qi still cursed with a smile, forced Xiao Jingmo back on the bed, and covered the quilt.Then he turned around and exited the room, closing the door behind him.Holding an empty medicine bowl along the way, after walking for a while, I inadvertently saw the small paper bag that I had been holding in my hand──in it was the rock sugar that Wanzhen specially prepared for Xiao Jingmo.

Xiao Jingmo is a big man now, but he still can't get rid of his habit of eating medicine and fearing suffering.If there is no rock sugar every time I drink medicine, I will definitely not be able to drink it.

Bai Qi recalled how Xiao Jingmo was sipping the medicine bowl in a daze just now, and could only sigh inwardly.

In a few days, Xiao Jingmo has recovered for the most part, and occasionally took out his saber and danced in the yard when he was walking around, but Wanzhen never allowed him to dance for too long, at most half an hour, and urged him to go back room to rest.

On this day, Xiao Jingmo was still practicing sword in the yard, and it must have been a while, when he saw Wanzhen coming over with a cup of tea from a distance, and softly told him not to be too tired.Xiao Jingmo saw her walking around with a big belly, after all, there was some guilt and pity in his heart, he took her hand and said: "You will criticize me, what about yourself? With such a heavy body, don't go around in the future Walk around."

Wanzhen said quickly, "It's not that you, a father, are ignorant, that our mother and I have to suffer."

After speaking, both of them laughed.

Finally, Xiao Jingmo cautiously called the girl over, but it wasn't Bi'er who had been serving Wanzhen close by, but a new little girl, with a crisp appearance and a clumsy tongue.Xiao Jingmo felt dissatisfied, and asked with a downcast face: "Why are you serving, where is Bi'er?" He thought to himself, even if she was favored by Wanzhen, a girl wouldn't be so ignorant of the rules.

Sure enough, I saw the little girl knelt down tremblingly and said: "Sister Bi'er has been unwell for the past two days, and she was afraid of hitting Madam's fetal gas, so she stayed in the room to recuperate. Housekeeper Xiao sent his slaves to serve Madam."

Looking at her like this, she is clearly a novice, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and she can't wink, so why was she transferred here?

Xiao Jingmo was puzzled, and asked a little more: "Even if Bi'er is sick, what about Liu Zhu and Xiao Cheng?"

The little girl was timid, bowed her head and replied: "Master, Sister Liu Zhu and Sister Xiaocheng are also unwell, not only them, many servants in the village have been sick in the past two days, there are no other girls in the village, the housekeeper is talented I'm coming."

Xiao Jingmo and Wanzhen glanced at each other, both felt that something was wrong.The little girl looked like she had never seen the world, she probably couldn't answer too many questions, so she simply helped Wanzhen back to the room herself, and asked someone to call the manager.

Xiao Jingmo didn't say much, and asked directly: "In the past two days, most of the maids in the village have complained of illness, is there such a thing?"

"It's true. These girls have red spots on their faces for no reason, which are swollen and itchy. After seeing the doctor, they only said that they were poisoned, and there was nothing they could do. They had to hide in their rooms and dare not see anyone."

Xiao Jingmo frowned: "What's going on?"

The man in the villa is an old housekeeper who has been with him for many years, and he is not very restrained, and he said bluntly: "It's all the fault of Liufangge, if it wasn't found out yesterday that the incense powder sold by Liufangge is poisonous, we I can't think of it. Most of the girls in the village use the powder and rouge sold by Liufang Pavilion, and the poisonous thing is rubbed on the face, and the red spots and bumps on the face will appear."

Xiao Jingmo was originally sitting on the armchair listening, but suddenly his body froze and his face darkened. When the old housekeeper finished speaking, he didn't care about Wanzhen's presence, so he got up suddenly, and rushed out like a gust of wind. run out.

When rushing to the door, he bumped into Bai Qi who was oncoming, and he rushed out as if he hadn't seen him.

Bai Qi said "Ouch", looked at Wanzhen who was in the room with a worried expression, and then at the man who was in a hurry with only one back, said: "Sister, don't worry, I'll go after you." Then he stepped up to catch up.

When everyone calmed down, Xiao Jingmo and Bai Qi were no longer in sight.

Wanzhen stood on the spot, looking at the direction where Xiao Jingmo disappeared, gently stroking her protruding belly with both hands.A trace of nameless emotion finally surged up uncontrollably, overflowing his chest.
