Juexin rested at home for a day, and when Hui returned home, he went to Zhou's house to help.Juemin advised him to rest at home for a few more days and not to go out on the street, let alone go out to socialize, but he refused to listen.He went to Zhou's house very early, and tried his best to pretend to be in good spirits.Zhou Botao was so busy there that he couldn't figure out what to do. He was losing his temper and scolding his servants. When he saw Juexin coming, he calmed down. Juexin reluctantly supported the handling of those trivial matters.This day is more lively than the day of celebrating ceremony.The guests kept coming, and the hall was full of sedan chairs.Juexin had no choice but to socialize with Zhou Botao.He also felt a little sad when he saw young master Mei moving in a long-sleeved robe, with a red face and bowing respectfully.The sound of the dulcimer came to his ears noisily, and the blind man sang even more vigorously.

Loh finally came back.He had no chance to meet and talk to her.She was surrounded by sisters and other female relatives.He also had to go talk about some irrelevant gossip with Master Aunt Zheng.Later, when saluting, Suona was blowing outside. Hui was wearing a pink satin embroidered dress, with pearls and emeralds on her head, and pearl tassels hanging down. She was supported by the bridesmaids and stood with the groom. The old lady, Zhou Botao and his wife, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhou, etc., were all big gifts.Later, when Juexin was on duty, he had no choice but to go into the main room to accompany them to kneel down.He kowtowed diagonally to them.Every time he stood up, he couldn't help but secretly glance at her.Her pink face was hidden by the drooping beads, so that he could not see her expression.Only the extremely wide square face and the protruding teeth dangled in front of his eyes.Just these few glimpses.She separated from him.He was still among the noisy congratulatory guests.Although he talked and laughed with them, his heart was always on one person.The more he looked at Master Aunt Zheng, the more he worried and felt aggrieved for Hui.He was very uncomfortable.In this group of people, he couldn't even find anyone who could understand him and listen to him say a word or two of the truth.Although Juemin also came to Zhou's house, the young man made an excuse and left after paying his respects.Juexin felt even more lonely because of this.

In the evening, the guests at the dinner party were very energetic in drinking and punching, and Juexin also drank with them.He drank it cup by cup, without knowing moderation.At that time, he only felt that he drank happily, but after the guests left after the banquet, he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he left and went home quickly.When he got home, he opened his mouth and vomited all over the floor before he could sit down as soon as he entered the room.Mrs. He helped him to sleep, and cleaned up his vomit. Juexin fell into a deep sleep all night, and couldn't get up the next day.He has a high fever.Mrs. Zhou was very anxious, and hurriedly called for a doctor to see him. He took medicine and slept for more than ten days before gradually getting better.During his illness, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Botao and his wife all came to see him. They all thought that he got sick because of overwork for Hui's wedding, so they expressed great apologies to him and sent someone to send some food from time to time.Yun also came.When she came, or when Qin came, she would be accompanied by the three sisters Shuying, Shuhua and Shuzhen to chat in Juexin's room.Yun didn't know what was on Juexin's mind, and she even talked to Juexin about Hui.He only learned a little about Hui's life in Zheng's family from Yun's mouth.Weng Gu is stern and mean; her husband has a weird temper and doesn't know how to be considerate.Once Hui did not go out to eat with Weng Gu because she was not feeling well, and she was taught a lesson by her mother-in-law later.Hui was so angry that she went back to her room and cried for a long time. Instead of comforting her, her husband blamed her for being petty.This is what Mrs. Yang, who married Hui with her, came back to say.Yun angrily relayed Aunt Yang's words, complaining about her uncle and weeping in anger.Shuying and Shuhua are also angry for Hui.But they could only vent their anger with words, and they couldn't do anything practical to relieve Loh's pain.Juexin was lying on the bed.He didn't talk much, but he listened carefully to what they had to say.He thought painfully for a long time.He is only now starting to wonder: Was that the only way he could go then?He felt his past actions were wrong.He could have taken another course then, which, if it failed, would have only contributed to the destruction of two lives.And now both were sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire, and had to endure all sorts of embarrassing tortures before perishing.This is all his fault.Yun said those words as if he was reading out his crimes, and every word hit his heart and made his heart tremble.It was as if a bomb was about to explode in his chest.But he tried his best not to let out a groan for others to hear.So his secret has never been known.

Hui got the news of Juexin's illness from Yun.She was very anxious, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface.She couldn't get away to Gao's house to see Juexin, but later she sent Mrs. Yang to visit. Mrs. Yang also brought some gifts from Hui to the three sisters Shuying, Shuhua and Shuzhen; Wait, it's for Juexin and Juemin.At that time, Juexin could already get out of bed.Lying on a wicker chair in front of the bed, he called Mrs. Yang over, and asked her about Hui in a casual manner.Once Mrs. Yang's chatterbox is opened, it's not easy to close it. Chang Juexin wished she could speak in great detail.Mrs. Yang talked more than Yun.She vented all her indignation.She even used some unkind words to describe Hui's Wenggu and her husband.He felt happy at the time, but the more he listened, the more his heart ached with melancholy and despair.

"I have never seen such a weird person in my life. Our master is really blind, and he will take a fancy to such a young man. Our master is so cruel that he insists on throwing a whole flower into the mud. Even I can't bear it." It's not for the eldest lady, I'll go home early and quit. Who would be happy to serve that kind of person." Standing in front of Juexin, Mrs. Yang became more and more annoyed, and then she couldn't help but gnashed her teeth. Juexin's face suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand from the table to take the bookmark that Hui sent in his hand.He answered Mrs. Yang vaguely while looking at the bookmark.It was made by Hui herself. On the white silk base, a red candle inserted into a candlestick was drawn. A puddle of candle oil had already fallen on the candlestick. There was a poem beside it: "The candle dries up when it turns to ashes and tears." Juexin found such a poem by accident and was very excited.He secretly glanced at Aunt Yang, but there was no change in Aunt Yang's face.He lowered his head to look at the bookmark in his hand again.He recited as if enlightened: the spring silkworms will not die until they die, and the wax torch will turn into ashes and tears will dry.

He recalled what Mrs. Yang had said before: "The eldest lady was very anxious when she heard that the young master was ill. The eldest lady said that the young master was busy with her wedding, so she was very disturbed. She wished she could come and see the eldest son in person. Young master. But the young master has a weird temper, and he is not happy even when the young lady returns to her mother's house. The young lady is not easy to quarrel with him. Young master, you know, the young lady has always had a good temper. , so I called me over to say hello to the young master and ask him how he is sick." Also: "The young lady was angry and kept silent. Whenever there was no one in the room, she would cry secretly and tell me I met her twice, and when I tried to persuade her, she said, "I don't live long anyway, so I'll cry my tears and die sooner. Young Master, what do you think I can say?" Juexin was struck by a strong Feelings of remorse overwhelmed.He knew he had made another big mistake.It can be said that Hui was indirectly harmed by him.He has ruined the happiness of several people.These people are what he considers dearest, and they are all expelled to another world now, and he is the accomplice every time.

Loh should be the last of those people.On top of all the blows he had suffered in the past year, this last heavy blow was added.It seemed to be punishment for his crime.All is now in an irreparable state, and the austere law admits no repentance.He was mistaken by Gou An's thinking at the beginning, and when he took a wrong step, he was forced to make a wrong step. He waited until he got to the edge of the cliff, and when he looked back, the road behind him turned into a vast expanse of white.Although he understood his mistake, he had no choice but to jump into the bottomless abyss. "Bowling doctrine" and "non-resistance doctrine" cannot save him.He knew it was quite certain.At this point, even if he sacrificed everything he treasured, he still couldn't change the ending.He does not complain about his fate.However, he felt injustice, pity and grief for that gentle girl who had the same fate.Holding the bookmark, he let out a long sigh of despair, and tears burst from his eyes.

Shuying also heard Mrs. Yang's report.This caused a violent shock in her heart.She was indeed terrified at first, as if seeing such a fate awaiting her before her.But then she made up her mind: she would never follow Hui's path.In fact, she had already made such a decision.Jean was the patron of her decision.Although they have not agreed on a detailed and clear plan.But she has figured out the only way.That path was pointed out to her by Juehui and guaranteed by his own experience.Naturally, sometimes she can't help but hesitate a little.But after seeing Hui's experience, she could no longer have any doubts.She put all her hopes on that road.She is no longer pessimistic about her future.Her pain comes from sympathy for others.So she asked Mrs. Yang some questions with great concern, and listened to Mrs. Yang's answers very carefully.But her attitude is relatively stable, and she doesn't say much angry words.Shuhua is not.She complained angrily to Zhou Botao, and she followed Mrs. Yang in scolding Hui's husband.She even fidgeted a little with anger.Shuzhen sat next to Shuying.She seldom speaks, but timidly listens to other people's conversations, raising her head to look at other people's faces from time to time.

Shuying heard Juexin reciting poems, and heard his long sigh.She turned to look at him in surprise, and saw him weeping while holding a bookmark.She felt strange at first, but then she understood.She felt even more sad.She stood up and stretched out her hand and said softly to him: "Brother, show me," and took the bookmark from his hand. She was just looking down at the beautiful handwriting when Shuhua came over , Stretching out his head to glance at the bookmark in Shuying's hand, he said to himself: "What does this mean?... I don't understand." Neither Juexin nor Shuying answered her.Aunt Yang didn't understand what Shuhua meant, but she went on to explain: "The eldest lady made it herself. She made it and painted it herself. But she didn't dare to make these things when the uncle and the young master were at home. Once she was doing it, give it to me." The aunt and young master saw it and snatched it away. The young lady was so angry that she said two or three words, and the young lady lost her temper. The young lady didn't dare to quarrel with him, so she bowed her head and wept..." "Second sister, You take Aunt Yang out to have a rest, and ask Cuihuan and Qixia to accompany her to play in the garden for a while," Juexin said to Shuying tiredly with a pale face, unable to hold on any longer.Shuying knew how he was feeling, and without asking any questions, she agreed, and together with Shuhua and Shuzhen, she took Aunt Yang outside.Mrs. Yang was about to step out of the threshold when Juexin suddenly called her and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, come to my room again when you leave." Mrs. Yang went back to Zheng's house before it got dark.Before she left, she went to Juexin's room.Juexin was still lying on the wicker chair in front of the bed.When he saw her coming, his face showed a little joy, and he said some ordinary greetings, asking her to pass them on to Hui.He finally carefully warned: "Sister-in-law Yang, you are a sensible person. Your wife believes in you, so she asked you to serve the eldest lady. Now the eldest lady is in a very difficult situation, and she sometimes feels unhappy, you should persuade her more. When the matter is like this, it can be said that it is a done deal. No matter how bad the uncle is, the eldest lady has to endure and live a good life. Or after a few months, after a long time, it is not known that they will be able to live in peace. The eldest lady is sometimes bored alone. Very, maybe I can't think about it, you know her temperament, you have to enlighten her well." He said these words.He himself knew that he was forced to say it, and he himself hated this view.He also gave Mrs. Yang a little reward.

After hearing these instructions, Aunt Yang was very moved.She took the reward money and invited Ann, and praised thankfully: "Thank you, young master. The young master is really kind-hearted and thoughtful. In fact, I don't need to worry about the young master. I have also advised the young lady: always relax your heart a little bit." .I will serve her well. Alas, the fate of our young lady is really bad. If our young master Mei is replaced by the young master, the young lady will not be in this situation with an older brother like you." Yang Sister-in-law's words are her true feelings.But to Juexin's ears, there seemed to be thorns in the words.Mrs. Yang seemed to deliberately say negative things to ridicule him.He thought: If Hui really had a brother like him, her experience would not change in any way.He didn't have the strength to save her from the clutches of that eccentric strange man.The thought troubled him.He collapsed on the wicker chair dejectedly, staring at Aunt Yang in a daze, without saying a word.Aunt Yang thought he was tired, so she stopped staying, thanked him and left.

After Juexin recovered from his illness, he went to Zhou's house one day.This is the first time he went out to visit guests after his illness.He knew that Hui would go back to her mother's house that day, and hoped to meet her there. He went earlier, and Hui hadn't arrived yet.He naturally received a cordial welcome in Zhou's house.Uncle Zhou Botao went out.Mrs. Zhou and his two aunts treated him hospitablely.They asked him questions.He also expressed his gratitude to them for their care and gifts during his illness. After a while, Hui's sedan chair arrived.Hui met everyone and saluted one by one.After she sat down, she asked about Juexin's health with concern.She said that when she heard the news that he was "unwell", she had wanted to visit Gao's family for a long time, but was restrained by some trivial matters at home and could not go out, so she did not go to see Juexin, and asked him to forgive her.She never mentioned that she sent Mrs. Yang to inquire about illnesses and send bookmarks and other things.But this is not intentional not to mention. Juexin knew the real reason why she couldn't go out.When he heard the word "forgive", he felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he secretly looked at her face.His countenance had changed a little, but there was no radiance on his face.Although the powder covered his haggard face, the sad expression on the corners of his eyes and the fine wrinkles on his forehead were clearly reflected in his eyes.Feelings of sympathy and affection ruled him.He looked directly at her with deep meaning.Immediately he regained the strength to compose himself.So he hid his sincerity.He forced a smile and talked some entertainment with them.Later, the card table was set up, in the left wing room.Mrs. Zhou advocated the "five heart pumping". Both Juexin and Hui had to attend, and the other two were naturally Chen Shi and Xu Shi.Yun and Master Mei stood by and looked at the cards.Juexin sat on Hui's upper hand. When shuffling the cards, his fingertips touched her hand on the table, and his heart trembled suddenly as if he had been electrocuted.She withdrew her hand quickly.He glanced at her.She was still shuffling the cards with her head down, her face was slightly flushed.Later it was Juexin's turn to "dream", so he stood behind Hui to watch her play cards.He saw that Hui dealt the wrong cards from time to time, and looked a little "absent-minded".He didn't say anything, but instructed her to deal the cards.She silently obeyed his orders.After finishing this round, Hui stood up, and it was time for him to start playing again.Juexin didn't sit down, but said to Yun who was also standing beside him watching the cards: "Cousin Yun, sit down and play two cards for me, and I'll come." "Master, where are you going?" Mrs. Zhou asked. He looked up in surprise and asked. "Grandma, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not lucky. So I asked my cousin Yun to play two cards for me," Juexin replied.Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything anymore.Yun then sat down on the stool that Hui had sat on.Juexin stood behind Yun, took a sip from his teacup, and watched Yun play his cards.He turned his head to look at Hui again.Hui stood quietly at the door of the wing room alone, as if watching the scenery outside.He also went to the door.When he got there, Hui didn't look back at him. "Cousin Hui, thank you for the gift," Juexin said in a low voice from behind. "You didn't do well, how can you be thankful?" Hui suddenly turned around, smiled at him sadly, and replied in a low voice.Her head fell out again. "Cousin Hui, the matter has come to this point, and it cannot be undone," he said bitterly. She didn't answer.He added: "You should know that sorrow can hurt people, and it is useless to worry about it. I always hope that you can relax and live happily. I have no other hope. You probably won't believe me, I I know I'm sorry for you." Hui turned her face to the other side of the card table.Seeing that no one was paying attention to the conversation between the two of them, she took a gentle look at her, and said in a low voice as if sighing: "Big cousin, don't say such things anymore. As long as you live a good life, I might still be happy." Time. But your situation is like that again..." The following words disappeared as the lingering sound of a sigh. Juexin was pleasantly surprised.This sincere confession and deep concern were beyond his expectation, which stirred up his heart.A hope inspired him.He felt that the two hearts were getting closer in suffering.He seemed to be able to catch that ray of light, that beautiful dream with his hand.It was the last sweet dream he could hope for, and if it failed, it would bring him eternal darkness.So he forgets himself and rushes to the light and dreams.His sickly face was also glowing with joy, and he said excitedly: "You are so concerned?..." She turned her face and cast a grateful look, and replied softly: "Besides, I have What's your concern?" Her face flushed suddenly, and she looked away again. Her grateful eyes and tender words drew him closer to hope. He looked up at her movedly.She was wearing fashionable and well-fitting clothes, her thin and slender body leaning lazily on the door, with one arm slightly leaning against the door frame.She also seemed to have difficulty restraining the fluctuations of her emotions, her body trembled slightly, and the faint scent of powder was sent to his nose one after another.Again he caught glimpses of light and dreams, and hope shone again before his eyes.His emotions surged up suddenly in his heart like a tidal wave.He felt he had a thousand words to pour out to her.But there was a loud sound of cards behind, and Yun called out very happily: "Big cousin, come quickly. Come quickly. I give you a three-fold. "So the light was hidden, and the dream was shattered. He had to leave some words unsaid, and immediately ran to Yun's place. Everyone was counting and paying chips. Yun boasted to him and explained to him how she got this good deck of cards. But how could he hear those words? He didn't even see clearly the fourteen bird cards spread out in front of Yun. What he was thinking about was still about Hui. He stood blankly behind Yun's chair. Feeling a moment of emptiness, a moment of melancholy. He turned to look at Hui again. Hui was still leaning against the door lonely. He felt affection for her again, and wanted to talk to her a few words. He was hesitating, and Hui slowly He came over this way. He regretted that he hadn't walked over and lost the opportunity to talk to her alone. He saw her sitting down in silence to shuffle the cards, and then forced a laugh to entertain everyone. He felt very sad. He He didn't want to watch her deal the cards anymore. He just felt that he cherished her more and hated himself more. They played ten rounds of cards, but Zhou Botao hadn't returned home yet.Mrs. Zhou said that she would not wait for him, so she ordered dinner.Everyone was eating, and Zhou Gui, the servant, came in and said, "Young Master sent someone to pick up Missy." "Why did you come to pick her up today? It was originally agreed that Hui'er would stay at home for a day. Zhou Gui, tell the person who came to pick her up to come back tomorrow night." Old lady Zhou complained unhappily.Zhou Gui agreed and walked out.Hui lowered her head silently, holding the rice bowl in her hand, and moving her chopsticks very slowly. Juexin saw her hard-to-swallow appearance.Juexin didn't say anything, but his heart was filled with uncontrollable grief and indignation. After a while Zhou Gui came in again panicked and said, "Young Master said something important, so call Missy to go back immediately." He knew that these two words would make Mrs. Zhou angry, so he braced himself and prepared to be scolded. "Stupid stuff. You don't even understand the truth. You see, Missy didn't finish her meal, so someone called you in to talk about it." Mrs. Zhou put down her chopsticks and scolded with a straight face.Zhou Gui stood at the door and promised "yes" one after another.He didn't dare to walk away, so he had to stand upright, waiting for Mrs. Zhou's order. "Missy is my granddaughter. She was married by a big matchmaker, and I didn't sell it to the Zheng family. Zhou Gui, go and send away the people who came to pick you up, and say that I left Missy behind. Tomorrow night I will send someone to take the eldest lady back. Please don't worry, young master, don't send someone to pick you up again," Mrs. Zhou continued to order angrily. "Yes," "Yes," Zhou Gui still replied obediently, but did not leave the room. "I've never seen such an unreasonable person," Mrs. Zhou still angrily said to herself.Seeing Zhou Gui still standing in the room, she reprimanded sharply: "Zhou Gui, what are you still standing here for?" Zhou Gui agreed in surprise, and hurried out. After a while Zhou Gui came in again and stammered the report: "Old lady, the people from the Zheng family refused to leave, saying that the young master ordered the young lady to go back. If the young lady doesn't go back, the young lady will lose her temper." "Grandmother, let me go back," Hui said sobbing, pushing away the chair and standing up. "Hui'er, don't leave. Your mother-in-law simply keeps you here for a few more days before you go back, and see what your aunt and young master dare to do to you?" Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, and then comforted Hui with indignation. road.Hui didn't say a word, but covered her face and wept in a low voice. Yun hurried over, and whispered softly in Hui's ear: "Sister, don't be sad, there is a woman who will make decisions for you..." Hui's mother, Mrs. Chen, was on the verge of tears. He said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, let Hui'er go back. After all, she is a member of the Zheng family, and everything must be done to her aunt. If we let her play for one more day, she will be angry with my aunt again when she goes back. The old lady Zhou stood up tremblingly, walked to a rattan recliner and sat down.Her face also turned blue.When she heard what Chen said, she thought it was reasonable, but it made her indignant even more.She said angrily: "What an unreasonable person. Hui'er has been pampered in our family, but I'm really not reconciled to being sent to that kind of family to suffer. He will lose his temper, don't I? Zhou Gui, You go and tell that person, I won't let the young lady go, but the aunt and young master don't agree, so ask him to pick him up in person. Let's see what he has to say when he comes. I want to keep the young lady to stay for two more days, who dares to say no." Seeing Mrs. Zhou being so angry, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xu fell silent.Hui suddenly rushed to Mrs. Zhou, wanting to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but tugged at Mrs. Zhou's arm and began to cry.The old lady Zhou also shed tears sadly, and said in a trembling voice: "My poor Hui'er." Zhou Gui agreed twice at first, and stood hesitantly for a moment. Other words command.He was about to go out, but was called by Juexin.Only then did Juexin sort out his chaotic thoughts.Holding back the pain in his heart, he walked over and asked Yun in a low voice to persuade Hui to pull him away, and then he forced a gentle voice and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Grandma, I think it's better to let Cousin Hui go back. The uncooked rice has been cooked now." Cooking rice, there is no other way but to deal with the Zheng family. When we got angry with the Zheng family, it was Cousin Hui who got angry. He is already married and lives in his house. We can't control any suffering. For the sake of Cousin Hui's future life, we have no choice but to deal with the Zheng family. Please don't get angry, grandma. Otherwise, Cousin Hui will suffer even more." He actually finished these words in one breath.He had never imagined that he would have such courage.Now even Mrs. Zhou said she wanted to keep Hui, but he advocated that Hui should obediently return to the Zheng family, which she regarded as a sea of ​​suffering.He himself feels that his proposition is justified, and there is only one way at present, and at the same time, this reason and this way bring him more pain.Once again he did the last thing he wanted to do. "Mom, the young master's words are also very reasonable. Just let Hui'er go back. There is really no other way now. Besides, the days will be long. Maybe their little husband and wife will get back together in the future," Chen rubbed secretly Rubbing his eyes, he begged Mrs. Zhou in Juexin's tone.Mrs. Xu also said a few words in agreement. The old lady Zhou pondered for a while, then sighed, and said as if giving up: "Do you think I don't understand the rules? Forget it, I won't keep Hui'er anymore." She told the servant: "Zhou Gui, go and call for someone to take care of you." Bring up the sedan chair." There was no sound in the room.Mrs. Zhou sat on the wicker recliner with a straight face.Loh has stopped crying.She stood up straight, took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.Zhou Gui hurried out like a prisoner being pardoned.After a while, Mrs. Zhou looked at Hui with gentle eyes, and couldn't help saying sadly: "Poor Hui, how can I have the heart to let you go back? We are all living well here, but you are alone To suffer alone. This is the result of giving birth to a daughter. It’s so frustrating. Hui’er, you have to be careful everywhere and know how to take care of your body. We can’t take care of you now.” Yun couldn’t help crying beside her.Mrs. Xu hurried over to tell Yun, "Yun'er, why are you crying? But this little thing, don't make your mother-in-law sad." Mrs. Chen shed a few tears when she heard Yun's crying. Huiben had already stopped crying, but when she heard Mrs. Zhou's words, her former feelings were touched, she felt sad for a while, and shed tears again.She looked at the old lady Zhou with tears all over her face and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will be careful over there, and I won't suffer. I will come back often to see you and see mom..." She wanted to smile , but not only failed, but even the following words were blocked in the throat by grief.She struggled for a while, then suddenly said, "I'm going to put on a skirt," then turned around and left. When Hui returned to the wing room, the sedan chair was already waiting for her in the courtyard.She greeted the old ladies of Zhou, and paid homage to Juexin.Juexin made a salute in return, and invited with attachment: "Cousin Hui, when will you come to our house to play? The second and third sisters miss you very much." Hui smiled bitterly, and then frowned and said: " I miss them too. But you can see what happened today. I can’t decide anything. Big cousin, go back and say hello to them for me, and sister Qin..." She stopped talking and turned to Yun and Master Mei paid their respects, and went out of the room to get on the sedan chair. The sedan chair walked out of the middle door, and Zhou Gui went to close the middle door.There is only silence in the courtyard; there is only emptiness in the hearts of the people.After they returned to the room, Mrs. Zhou complained about Hui's father, but no one else dared to answer.Juexin sat for a while and couldn't stand it anymore, so he left. Juexin sat in the sedan chair, his thoughts fluctuated violently, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that life was boring.He returned home, got out of the sedan chair, and heard someone in the concierge playing a huqin and singing "A Dream in Jiuhua Palace". Gao Zhong pretended to be a female voice and sang Concubine Yang Gui: Thief, thief, what is the cause of the rebellion against Chang'an? Wende's loud voice sang An Lushan: You forget that you laundered money back then. Juexin frowned, walked into the turning door with big strides, and walked under the window of Juemin's room, just as she met Shuying and Shuhua sisters coming out of the room with books.He knew they had finished their English classes.Shuying called "Big Brother" first. "Second Sister, Third Sister, Cousin Hui sends her greetings to you," Juexin said, holding back his grief. "Did you see Cousin Hui? How is she? Is she okay?" Shuying asked in surprise. "What's wrong with her? Don't mention it," Juexin replied angrily. "Tell us, how is she?" Shuying and Shuhua pestered Juexin and refused to let him go, asking him to tell them Hui's situation in detail. "Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk. Don't be impatient, come to my room and talk," Juexin had no choice but to agree. "What are you talking about? Brother, what good news do you have?" Juemin's voice suddenly sounded.He and Jian Yun were walking out of the room, when they heard Juexin's words, they asked in passing. "Brother saw Cousin Hui today," Shuhua said happily to Juemin. "Let's go and listen too," Juemin said to Jianyun with his head turned.Jian Yun nodded and said yes. After everyone entered Juexin's room and sat down, Mrs. He brought out tea.While drinking tea, Juexin described in detail what he saw at Zhou's house that day.The more he spoke later, the more emotional he became, and there were tears in his eyes, but he didn't try to wipe them away. Jian Yun sat silently in the corner, watching Shuying secretly from time to time.Shuying was deep in thought, her face slowly changed, and the expression of terror and anxiety appeared on her face again.She bit her lips slightly, without saying a word. "This kind of thing happens in the world. It's really annoying. Cousin Hui is too cowardly, what are you afraid of him doing?" Shuhua said angrily. "There are many such things in the world, but you haven't seen them," Juemin said with a deliberate sneer. "I said that in the future, I will simply keep Cousin Hui and never let her go to Zheng's house. When he comes to pick me up ten or a hundred times, just ignore him and see what he can do. After all, Cousin Hui is from the Zhou family. "Shuhua said vigorously with her head held high.She looked at Juexin angrily, as if she was arguing with him. Juexin reprimanded Shuhua bitterly, "You're really talking like a child. Cousin Hui is now a member of the Zheng family." Shuhua still refused to accept, she argued stubbornly. "What's the use of saying that? You've already been married, and you'll understand in the future. Don't talk big, maybe you won't marry an aunt like your cousin-in-law." Juexin saw Shu Hua said disregarding the facts, he was a little bored, so he deliberately used such words to annoy her.He himself does not support the current marriage system (because he himself has been hurt), and what he said above is an expression of resistance to that system: he hopes to spread his anger to others and inspire others to speak out What he wanted to say but dared not say to attack that system. "Brother," Shuying suddenly called out.She looked at Juexin with reproachful eyes, and whispered in pain, "You say that too?" "I'm not afraid. I can be fierce when others are fierce. I am also a person, and I will never be bullied by others. "Shuhua blushed and argued loudly. "Well said." Juemin praised from the side. When Juexin heard Shuying's words, he immediately thought of the girl's situation: Indeed, a fate like Huiyou's was waiting for her, and now Hui is the future Shuying.The threat of that fate is great.But Shuying is different from Hui, she is still struggling desperately.The English textbook in her hand is the evidence that she is unwilling to perish.But can she escape death in the end?He didn't dare to think about it.After seeing Loh fall into the abyss.He no longer has the courage to see Shuying's ending.That ending is not far away, and it may be his turn to send Shuying into the abyss again.But Shuying is still trying to escape.He thought she should run away.But she will most likely fail. "Brother, let me tell you a few serious words. The matter of Cousin Hui is irreversible, but we can still save the matter of the second sister. It's not that you don't know about the Chen Ke family. You have also seen the temper of the third father recently. When he arrives, he will not cherish the second sister. The second sister is a woman with ambition, you should help her, and we should all help her," Juemin said with a serious face suddenly. We should help her - Juexin continued to think.Juemin's words came just by chance.It seemed that an external force cleared up Juexin's chaotic thoughts at once.He felt several pairs of eyes watching him eagerly, waiting for his answer.In particular, Juemin's persuasive gaze made his thoughts nowhere to escape, and Shuying's watery eyes begging for help aroused his pity.Although he always felt that he had no strength, he also made up his mind: he would not let Shuying be the second Hui.So he replied in a steady tone: "As long as the second sister makes up her mind, I will try my best to help. You can discuss things later. But you should be more cautious in what you say and do."
