First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 696

When Guan'er was 13 years old, the old lady of the Chen family suddenly became seriously ill.

In order to celebrate the old lady, the two elders negotiated and hastily decided to ask Guan'er to go out in a month.

At that time, Song Zixun had already been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Because he was busy with the annual assessment of appointment and removal of officials, he left early and returned late every day. Although he lived in the same mansion, the father and daughter often hardly saw each other for the last time.

So it was rare to come back early today. When the family got together for dinner, Song Zixun inevitably asked about his daughter's marriage.

Du Rongzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry... Although the time is a bit rushed, but fortunately Guan'er's dowry has already been prepared, so it's not too bad."

Song Zixun nodded slightly, and said seriously, "You should pay more attention to this matter, even if you can't be red-faced, and you can't make people look down upon you."

Du Rongzhi and Guan'er looked at each other, and said with a smile, "Where is it that people look down upon it? If you want me to say, it's too much for the ancestors and father to add boxes to those..." It seemed to be a blow to others like...

Song Zixun frowned, "Miss Wan is my eldest daughter, my daughter can afford any kind of good things, how can I let it go?"

After all, after two lifetimes as a husband and wife, how could Du Rongzhi fail to see that Song Zixun's stubbornness was coming up again, so he smiled along with him, "Yes, yes...you are right." Then he took a piece of fish with his own hands and put it on the table. Put it in Song Zixun's bowl, and said softly, "I know you have worked hard these days, so don't worry about family affairs, I have everything for me..."

Song Zixun gave a majestic "Yes", and said to Guan'er, "Originally, according to your mother and I, I wanted to keep you at home for a few more years, and ask your mother to teach you how to be a daughter-in-law... But Chen The old lady at home is suddenly not well--" Song Zixun paused, and said after deliberation, "You are still young, and there are some things that you don't understand: Although you and Brother Rui's childhood sweethearts have always had a very good relationship, this husband and wife get along well. But it's not as simple as you think..."

Guan'er thought for a while, then nodded obediently, "Father, don't worry, mother has already taught her daughter..."

Song Zixun was taken aback, raised his eyebrows, "How did your mother teach you?"

"Mother said that liking someone and living with him are two different things..." Guan'er paused, then said seriously, "Although my daughter likes Brother Rui very much, I hope he can treat her like a father treats his mother in the future. But if...if brother Rui can't do it, the daughter won't be mediocre, and will treat herself well, so that her father and mother won't be worried or disappointed."

Song Zixun glanced at Du Rongzhi lightly, "How can I treat myself kindly?"

Brother Jing and Brother Lu, who were eating "intentionally", couldn't help pricking up their ears.

Du Rongzhi stared at them with a straight face, "Eat your food well!"

The two little guys were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and stood up.

Guan'er said softly, "If he respects me and loves me, I will definitely return the same affection; but if he despises me... I will never care about him."

Song Zixun's face darkened suddenly, and he looked at Du Rongzhi coldly, "Is this how you taught your daughter?!"

Du Rongzhi's eyebrows twitched twice, she pursed her lips guiltily, and said with an apologetic smile, "I, I just want to tell her...these two people live together, maybe—"

But Song Zixun put down the chopsticks in his hand with a "bang", and scolded, "What do you mean by 'lighting you down'?! Your mother and I have worked so hard to raise you up so that others can abuse you? ! You think your father is dead, and your two brothers are dead, so you let others bully you?!"

How old is Brother Jing? As soon as Song Zixun said the words, the little guy stood up suddenly, "Father is right!" He impassionedly pulled out the slingshot from his sleeve, "Whoever dares to bully my big sister, look I won't shoot him with a slingshot!"

Brother Lu also hurriedly jumped off the stool, cheering in a childish voice, "Play him!"

Du Rongzhi stared at the two sons dumbfoundedly, "Sit down!" He pulled Song Zixun's sleeve, "It's just an analogy...you just have to talk about it, why are you getting angry? Look, you scare the child..." He secretly pouted at Guan'er.

But he saw that the little girl's eye sockets were really red, and she looked at him helplessly with her big wet eyes.

Song Zixun felt a little uncomfortable, and waved his hands irritably, "You guys eat, I'm full." After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the study without waiting for Du Rongzhi to serve him.

Guan'er looked at Du Rongzhi and said helplessly, "Mother...Father..."

"No hindrance." Du Rongzhi patted her daughter's hand reassuringly, and sighed with a smile, "Your father really misses you..."

..........................................

Du Rongzhi still went to the study in person.

"I only ate a little for dinner, aren't you hungry?" She took out a bowl of hot noodle soup from the food box and asked with a smile, "I made it myself, do you want to eat?"

Song Zixun looked at her, took the bowl and ate in silence.

Du Rongzhi sat down opposite him and sighed, "I know you don't want to part with Guan'er... In fact, I am the same too, but there is no way around it."

Seeing Song Zixun just lowering his head to eat noodles, Du Rongzhi said again, "Fortunately, we watched Brother Rui grow up, not to mention his character and temperament... The most rare thing is that his family has a strict family style, and he also keeps himself clean. So far, I don’t even have a housemate around me... Didn’t you agree with this marriage at the beginning, saying that their house is clean, and there will be no troubles after passing through the door... Why is this—"

"It was then, and now is now." Song Zixun put down his chopsticks, and said with a calm face, "I originally agreed to wait until Sister Guan was old enough to go out, but how old is she now? How can she be married as a woman before her body is fully grown?" ?”

Du Rongzhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Didn't I tell you about this... I have already discussed with Chen Ersao, and she also promised to consummate the house after Guan'er and Ji are married..."

Song Zixun snorted coldly, "She promised...what's the use of her promise?! I don't know what this man is thinking? That brat from the Chen family has been idle for so many years, and now it's easy to have a cute little girl who can let him do whatever he wants , can you guarantee that he can bear it?"

Du Rongzhi almost made him laugh out of anger.

When I didn't mention marrying his girl before, I could still barely call him "Nephew", but now I see that we are a family, but I have become a brat...

"Zixun," Du Rongzhi said softly after laughing, "I understand your worry, in fact, I also had the same concern... But I think we should still trust you."

She lightly covered the back of Song Zixun's hand, "After all, it will be him who will accompany Guan'er in the future, not us."

Song Zixun pursed his lower lip and stopped talking.

It's not that he doesn't understand these principles, but as long as he thinks of his daughter being snatched away by other men, he can't let it go.

Obviously it was such a small ball, but the joy and throbbing when he hugged her for the first time was as clear as yesterday, why in the blink of an eye, this little person who was sweetly and softly calling Daddy in his arms suddenly Are you going to someone else's house?

Song Zixun felt an unprecedented loss and melancholy.

I heard Du Rongzhi continue, "And I think Brother Rui can be trusted." She smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Don't you think that child is very similar to you when you were young?" She walked behind Song Zixun, Leaning over and wrapping his arms around his neck, "He will treat us well."

Song Zixun sighed quietly, and stretched out his hand to pull Du Rongzhi into his arms, "It's just a slick kid... how can you compare with me?" He muttered, "What's more, if you look like me? Isn't it the same? Called his mother-in-law to dislike him for more than ten years... In the next life, he will leave me and marry someone else..."

Du Rongzhi let out a chuckle, poked his forehead with his fingertips, and spat, "Can you fix your narrow-mindedness?! I just said something casually, you have been brooding about it for so many years. Just take it out and stab me..."

Song Zixun pulled her hand down and held it in his palm, "You said it casually, but I took it seriously... If there is an afterlife, will you marry me again?" He seemed afraid of what Du Rongzhi would say If he didn't like to hear it, Song Zixun hurriedly reminded, "You just said that brother Rui is like me, and you like this son-in-law very much..."

Du Rongzhi was startled, and couldn't laugh or cry.

She thought for a while, then pursed her lips and said seriously, "If you can treat me like this in the next life, I don't mind marrying you again..."

Song Zixun said seriously, "I can definitely do it."

Thinking about his half life, he has skyrocketed and enjoyed unlimited scenery. In the eyes of outsiders, there is almost nothing unsatisfactory.

But only he himself knows that along the way, he really left too many regrets in his heart: regret that she didn't return the same affection when she was young and full of love for him; He sneaked in and killed their second child; it was even more regrettable that when she was most helpless and needed him the most, he failed to stay by her side, and instead caused her to be poisoned by Song Zixi's arrow, leaving her for the rest of her life. pain...

Especially when he just heard Guan'er's words, he was even more shocked——

How many times, how many times he almost missed her, causing a lifetime of regret...

But fortunately, he still kept her after all.

If there is really an afterlife, he just wants to lead her to continue walking, he will definitely, will do better than this life...

"Let's make an agreement." He clenched Du Rongzhi tightly, "I will look for you in the next life, you are not allowed to escape." He paused, and said fiercely, "Even if you escape, you can't escape."

Du Rongzhi smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand to caress the newly grown silver threads on his temples, nodded solemnly, "It's done."

........................

Outside the study, Brother Jing looked puzzled at his elder sister who was lying beside the door listening to her tears, and said blankly, "Big sister, what's wrong with you? What did father say to mother? Father is still angry?" I quickly put my ears on it to listen.

Guan'er hurriedly wiped away her tears, "No, father isn't angry." She stretched out her hand to hold her younger brother, and smiled with red eyes, "I just think... father treats mother really well..."

The lover they carefully selected for her must also be excellent.
