Since that day, Brother Xuan has never returned home, and I am living like a walking corpse. My heart has been hurt and I am completely exhausted. I don’t want to lose even the last little dignity, so I will not beg him.
When I come back, I will not tell the city lord and his wife about this, but I just keep all the grievances in my heart and bear them silently alone.
One day a week later, the city lord's mansion welcomed a special guest, the Count who pursued me.
His appearance was very unexpected to me. I thought that among everyone, the one I felt most sorry for was him. I gave him hope for no reason but just for another man. So I did not refuse his invitation, nor did I have any reason to refuse him.
.
That night, he was wearing a black tuxedo, like a noble knight, and had never paid attention to his appearance. Now, he looked a little better than Brother Xuan.
He has a face that seems to be crafted, a handsome, beautiful nose and a cherry blossom-like lips.
The arc of his lips is quite perfect, and he seems to have a smile at any time. This smile seems to allow the sun to suddenly clear the darkness from the clouds and shine in at once, gentle and calm.
He was glad to be elegant and looked even more upright in a decent tuxedo.
A black and gold ring on his hand showed extraordinary nobility, and he was born with a natural noble aura. No wonder that woman was going to pester him if she lived or died.
The carriage was parked at the gate of the city lord's mansion, and he knelt on one knee and greeted me with a standard knight's gift.
In fact, the city lord is also aware of the matter between me and my brother Xuan. He always feels that his son is sorry for me. After all, since he got married, Brother Xuan has never had sex with me. This result is obvious. Now that my son has been doing a long time.
If he doesn't go home, how could he not know where he is with whom he is? It's just that they also like the unborn child, after all, that's their grandson.
So when someone invited me to the dance, they even made up everything and encouraged me to go out.
Sitting in the carriage with the count, he was very funny. Even a person like me who was confused about the charms was also amused by him many times. This was the first time I smiled so relaxedly after marrying Brother Xuan.
Suddenly I felt that coming out with him seemed like a good decision.
Not long after, we arrived at the banquet place. This was a banquet organized by a viscount in Hongye City. My appearance with this count immediately attracted the attention of others. From the time we got off the car to the entrance of the banquet hall, all the eyes were watched by us.
After all, we are noble and beautiful, and the other is handsome, so we naturally attract a lot of attention.
I had long been accustomed to these fiery gazes, and I didn't feel any discomfort. I gracefully held the count's hand and walked slowly with the lady's airs.
The banquet was very good, they were all young people, so they were not very reserved. I laughed frequently under the earl's deliberate plea. Tonight I had a lot of smiles until my eyes and a pair of anger were filled with anger.
touching eyes.
The look that I wished to swallow me alive was from Brother Xuan. Seeing his angry eyes, I felt a little secretly happy, thinking that he began to care about me, but when my eyes swept to her behind him, I
He was just a little stunned, then smiled bitterly, and then looked away.
It turned out that Brother Xuan attended the banquet halfway. The woman shouldn't have attended any banquet when she was pregnant. She just clamored to come and Brother Xuan agreed. When she arrived here, she saw me smiling and drinking with the count.
Chatting.
I was about to walk away but was pulled by Brother Xuan, "Why are you here?" Brother Xuan asked.
I was slightly stunned. Why can't I agree to other people's invitations when he could bring other women to the banquet? My dignity does not allow him to trample on this way? What kind of expression does he have? It's like a husband who caught his wife having an affair.
I suppressed the grievance and anger in my heart, and smiled faintly and said, "It was Lord Earl who invited me to come."
He held my hand tightly. He was very strong. My hand seemed to be about to be pinched by her and could not leave. The pain from my wrist made me frown. The earl beside him saw the scene in front of me.
, then held Brother Xuan's hand and asked gracefully: "Sir, can you let go of my female companion?"
The woman also shook Brother Xuan's hand when she saw the scene in front of her, as if she was pitying. She seemed to cry if Brother Xuan disagreed. Brother Xuan looked at her and let go
Take my hand.
My wrists were already purple. When the count beside me saw it, he frowned slightly, and immediately pulled me away, walked to the side, took out a bottle of medicine and wiped it carefully for me.
I did not refuse his kindness, lowered my head and looked at my wrist blankly, feeling the hot gaze behind me, and my heart was confused. I didn't understand what Brother Xuan meant to do this, but then I thought about it.
It is probably the so-called dignity of a man. After all, there is a man who can allow his wife to become someone else's female companion, and it is still at such a grand banquet.
Just as I was stunned, I suddenly felt that my left wrist was also caught, and then I was pulled strongly. When I came back to my senses, I had already appeared at the door of the banquet. Brother Xuan pulled me out.
The two of them sat quietly in the carriage back to the city lord's mansion, and neither spoke. The air was particularly depressing. After sending me back to the city lord's mansion, he left after saying that he would not be allowed to go out to the banquet with the earl.
I guessed that he was going to go back to pick him up, but I turned around and left without responding.
Looking at my wrists with slight red marks, I shook my head helplessly and returned to my room.
I thought things would end like that and everything would return to its original track, but since that day, Lord Earl has often visited the mansion, and occasionally I would go out for dinner with him. After such a week, Brother Xuan often stayed in the city lord.
Appears in the mansion.
Whenever that count appears, he will come back just in time and then forcefully intertwined between us. Looking at his childish look, I can't help but smile. Sometimes, in order to deliberately anger him, I even
In front of him, he went out with the Earl and the others indifferently.
During that time, my mood improved a lot, at least not as depressed as before, until the woman appeared again.
Because of the last time I framed her, I didn't agree to see her, but she actually visited the mansion shamelessly.
Looking at her hypocritical behavior, I helped her and Brother Xuan. She really loved Brother Xuan. I couldn't help but feel funny in my heart. This woman's acting skills are really good. If I hadn't seen her true face last time, I would have been
She lied.
She continued to show her performance with the rain, while I was just watching coldly from the side.
It was almost lunch time, and she didn't look like she wanted to leave at all. She was still performing well on the side. It was not easy to see her. If she could be hypocritical, I had to politely ask her if she wanted to stay.
When eating, she didn't expect that she would shamelessly agree.
I had no choice but to ask my servants to prepare lunch. This was my most contradictory day. Until now, I wondered if it was the right choice to keep her for dinner.
This meal not only changed her life, but also affected the fate between me and Brother Xuan, making me in pain for a long time and unable to extricate myself. But if I were given another chance to choose, maybe I would choose this way.
