Chapter 7: The Bamboo Horse After Another Life, The Red Color Declines
After falling into the water, her body was terribly weak. Du Yunrou wanted to get out of bed several times, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt dizzy and her blood surged. She had no choice but to lie back on the bed, secretly worried.
All her savings, including the money from selling Du's house, were given to Wei Zidu. She had been doing business for two months. Although she occasionally received money, she could only manage food and clothing. I heard that she fell into the water and spent a lot of money this time.
I spent a lot of money, but now my home is probably empty.
Wei Zidu didn't come back all night, but Du Yunrou was relieved to hear that he was with General Qin.
Qin Yuan is a person who protects his shortcomings and will not let anything happen to Wei Zi.
Just as she was thinking about it, Qin Yuan came, taking with him the salt merchant named Jia who forced her to jump into the river.
When the man saw her, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Mrs. Wei, Jia is guilty. I, I didn't know you had a child in your belly... Jia just wanted to scare you..."
This man looked humane that day in the boat canopy, but he didn't expect that he was such a greedy person who was afraid of death, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong...
Du Yunrou sighed.
She knew that all this was because of Qin Yuan's help. Otherwise, how could this man show repentance?
Rubbing her eyebrows, she responded feebly: "Mr. Jia, you are very noisy."
It was really noisy and made her upset.
When Qin Yuan heard this, he asked someone to take the man named Jia out.
There were only two people left in the room, and Du Yunrou smiled bitterly: "General Qin, I'm afraid the civilian woman won't be able to get out of bed to salute you..."
Qin Yuan was stunned: "No need."
Du Yunrou subconsciously looked at the door: "General Qin, my husband, he...?"
I heard that Wei Zi always went out with Qin Yuan, why did he only see Qin Yuan but not Wei Zidu now?
After all, she couldn't let go of him in her heart.
"Zidu has some things to do outside and won't be able to come back for the time being." Qin Yuan said.
Du Yunrou nodded, and she didn't want to ask any more questions.
The two of them fell into silence at the same time. They had only met once and really had nothing to say.
Qin Yuan looked at her pale face and couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart. The woman with a determined expression who was wearing a fiery red wedding dress and holding a broad knife had now ended up in such an embarrassing end.
He didn't ask Wei Zidu how he was doing lately, it was someone else's family matter, but even if he didn't ask, he knew that with Wei Zidu's temperament, he probably wouldn't be too kind to Du Yunrou.
The rumors about brothels in the capital are enough to explain everything...
"Mrs. Wei, that child..." Qin Yuan hesitated to speak, finally sighed and stopped.
Let Wei Zi speak these words...
Du Yunrou touched her belly under the quilt with a dull expression: "If it's gone, it's gone. It's because I have no fate with this child."
Speaking so openly, she just didn't want to hear any words of comfort.
Qin Yuan nodded: "In that case, I will leave now."
"General Qin." Du Yunrou stopped him: "There is a matter that a common woman dared to ask the general to explain."
Qin Yuan straightened his body: "Madam, please speak."
"On that wedding day, why didn't the general tell me that my husband was still alive?" This was what she had always wanted to ask. Previously, she was worried that Wei Zi would not mention it, but now that she saw Qin Yuan again, she couldn't help but want to ask clearly.
"This..." Qin Yuan hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Madam, don't be surprised, I didn't even allow you to tell me that day..."
Don't let me tell you...
The corners of Du Yunrou's lips curled up slightly, without a smile, which only added to the sadness: "Everyone does this, but what's the unspeakable secret?"
Qin Yuan looked troubled and moved his lips, but in the end he could only remain silent.
Du Yunrou had guessed something about his expression.
"He just wants to hide it from me, right?" Du Yunrou asked lightly.
Qin Yuan was still silent.
Du Yunrou chuckled silently: "The civilian woman remembers that on the day of worship, the general repeatedly tried to dissuade her. Could this be what my husband meant?"
no respond.
The curve of Du Yunrou's lips deepened: "It turns out that he announced his death to everyone in the capital just to escape from marriage... It's ridiculous that I thought I was deeply in love, but in fact it was just wishful thinking..."
She couldn't help laughing, and the laughter got louder and louder, and then turned into several rapid coughs, which made her abdomen hurt like tearing apart, but she was still coughing, as if she wanted to cough out all her internal organs.
Abdominal pain, heartbreaking pain, chills all over. "Mrs. Wei...!" Seeing this, Qin Yuan took two steps forward, but felt something was wrong, and hurriedly went out and called someone.
The coughing subsided a little, but she still couldn't help laughing.
She felt pathetic. When she put on her wedding dress, she looked down upon death. Now when she thinks about it, it feels ridiculous.
She felt that she had made the biggest joke.
This joke lasted for ten years!
She held herself up sincerely, but others avoided her.
Du Yunrou, you are so cheap!
The abdominal pain was not as bad as the heartache. She covered her stomach and became confused.
"Mrs. Wei, you..." Qin Yuan couldn't bear it.
"General, please go out. I want to be quiet." Du Yunrou closed her eyes, not caring whether her words were rude or not. She was so heartbroken.
The room became really quiet, eerily quiet.
Du Yunrou was lying on the bed, her eyes a little empty. The quiet room was like a big black whirlpool, swallowing her up bit by bit.
It has been ten years, and now I realize that she has never really understood him.
When did the young man who looked at her with intense eyes become hesitant...
Oh, I remember, it was when she was twenty-five years old.
The way he looked at her was so complicated that she couldn't clearly see what was in it.
That was the first time he told her that he couldn't marry her.
He said, Du Yunrou, please get married.
Get married...
He didn't know how scared she felt when she heard this.
She is not afraid of waiting, she is afraid that he will give up before waiting.
Suddenly thinking of something, Du Yunrou's empty eyes moved and she sat up.
The pain in her abdomen was so severe that she climbed out of bed regardless. When she landed, her legs gave way and her whole body fell to the ground. The pain in her abdomen became even worse.
Du Yunrou slowly stood up. She was so painful that she couldn't straighten her back. She only moved step by step to the dressing table and sat down, staring blankly at the face in the mirror.
She stroked her eyebrows and looked at the person in the mirror intently, as if she was in another world.
She is twenty-eight, and there are no traces of youthfulness on her face anymore.
Even Wei Zi doesn't like her anymore, is it because she is old?
She opened the rouge box in a panic, eager to fix something, but because she used too much force, the rouge box popped out of her hand and fell to the floor.
There was still some bright red rouge on her fingers, and she put it on her lips bit by bit, but because of the abdominal pain, her fingers couldn't control her movements, and her lips were smeared all over.
