Chapter 85

"Brother, what are you talking about? Can't my sister come to see my brother? Besides, I came this time because of my mother's instructions. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my mother said to let you and Ling...sister-in-law go back early." Li Nishang stiffened She pulled out a smile, looked at Li Haoqi with pain and grievance in her eyes, and the phrase "sister-in-law" seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

"I see. As long as you don't speak ill of your sister-in-law in front of your mother, you can come to my place whenever you want. After all, you are my sister." Because of this sister-in-law, Li Haoqi's attitude softened a little. , but still couldn't help beating her.

As soon as Shui Ruoling entered the gate of the Duke's mansion, he received a warm reception unexpectedly. Looking at the smiling face of the Duke's wife, Shui Ruoling felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart for no reason.

"Ling'er, your mother misunderstood you before, you wouldn't blame your mother, would you?" Mrs. Guo held Shui Ruoling's hand and said kindly.No flaws can be seen on the charming face.

"Mom, you killed your daughter-in-law. No matter how mother treats her, it's for her own good. She knows it." Shui Ruoling replied respectfully, without any reluctance in her words, which made Mrs. Guo feel much more at ease.

Li Haoqi saw his mother's calm attitude. Although he had doubts in his heart, he was quickly overwhelmed by joy. He also hoped that his mother would stop misunderstood his wife. He didn't ask their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have a good relationship. punish his wife.

After eating, it was time to admire the moon, everyone gathered together, guessing riddles, and poetry, having fun, Shui Ruoling also liked this kind of atmosphere, smiled at Li Haoqi, and held hands under the table.

"Madam Shizi, Madam Guogong, please go over there." A young maid in Tsing Yi walked over, looked at Shui Ruoling and said.

Li Haoqi's complexion changed after hearing the little girl in Tsing Yi's words, she held Shui Ruoling's hand tightly, Shui Ruoling sensed his nervousness, shook her head at him, and approached and said:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Mother may have something to tell me."

Nodding towards Li Haoqi, Shui Ruoling followed the little girl in Tsing Yi to the courtyard of Mrs. Guogong. Mrs. Guogong left in the middle of the moon feast. Ever since she gave birth to Li Haoqi, Mrs. Guogong’s health has not been good, everyone I also know.

As soon as Shui Ruoling left, her cousin who was on good terms with Li Haoqi on weekdays came over and said, "Haoqi, since you moved out of the Duke's mansion, we haven't been together for a long time, today you have to accompany me no matter what. I drank this one."

Li Haoqi was worried about Shui Ruoling, but she couldn't refuse her cousin's toast, so she stood up, drank the wine handed by her cousin in one gulp, turned the glass upside down, and signaled to finish drinking, seeing her cousin smiling and walking away , before sitting down.

After taking the lead, one after another, someone began to toast with Li Haoqi. The younger brothers and younger sisters at home, as well as the cousins ​​who seldom meet on weekdays, today is the holiday, and Li Haoqi couldn't refuse, so they drank one by one. It is rare that people in the family change their attitude towards Shui Ruoling, if he refuses blindly, it may cause gossip again.

I don't know how many cups I drank, Li Haoqi's head was a little dizzy, a person came over and supported him, he opened his eyes and saw that it was his concubine, Li Yongrui, he patted his shoulder, but did not speak.

"Brother Shizi, you are drunk, I will help you to rest!"

"Ling'er" Li Haoqi was worried about Shui Ruoling in his heart, and refused to leave. Li Yongrui helplessly supported him, and said: "Brother Shizi go to rest first, and I will tell my sister-in-law when she comes over."

Li Haoqi nodded after hearing this, his stomach was churning violently, his head was dizzy, his body was a little hot, and he was really uncomfortable, so he didn't refuse anymore, and let Li Yongrui help him back to his yard.

Shui Ruoling came out of the Duke’s wife’s courtyard in a strange way, so she was only asked to sit there drinking tea and say some plausible things, and then told her to go back after a little maid in blue came in, could it be, the Duke The madam really just asked herself to contact her feelings.

She went back to her own yard in confusion, but found that Li Haoqi hadn't come back yet, she was a little puzzled, at this moment, the girl from Li Yongrui's yard came over and saluted Shui Ruoling:

"Mrs. Shizi, Master Shizi had a very happy conversation with my young master. He might come back later. Shizi ordered the slaves to tell Mrs. Shizi and let Mrs. Shizi rest first."

Shui Ruoling knows that since Li Haoqi moved out, she has rarely contacted her brothers at home. Taking advantage of the festival, there is nothing wrong with drinking two more glasses. She also drank a few glasses of wine today, and listened to her reading in the courtyard of the Duke's wife After a long time, my head was throbbing with pain. Hearing what the little girl said, he waved his hand to show that he knew, and went back to the room to rest by himself.

Shui Ruoling was woken up by a loud noise, her head was aching, but she saw Cui Zhu, the maid who had been serving her, ran in in a panic, and said with a pale face:

"Mrs. Shizi, hurry up and see Master Shizi!"

Shui Ruoling's heart skipped a beat, he tidied up roughly, and together with Cuizhu, he headed towards Li Yongrui's yard. There were many people surrounded in the yard, seeing Shui Ruoling approaching, they all had strange expressions on their faces, and they all retreated to aside.

Li Yongrui looked at her guiltily, and said with a stiff face, "Sister-in-law, don't blame elder brother, he's drunk." After entering the Duke's mansion, that ominous premonition broke out at this moment.

With a pale face, Shui Ruoling pushed aside Li Yongrui and walked in, only to see Li Haoqi and a woman lying naked on the bed, at this moment, the pain and sadness in her heart disappeared, replaced by a feeling of wanting to laugh a feeling of.

Seeing this, Li Yongrui took a cup of tea and poured it on the faces of Li Haoqi and the woman. Li Haoqi opened his eyes in a daze. When looking at her Shui Ruoling expressionlessly, inexplicable panic hit her heart.

"Ling'er, listen to my explanation, it's not what you see."

"Ahhhhh..." A piercing scream blurred Li Haoqi's explanation, and also attracted the Duke and Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo took a look at the messy scene in the room, and held Shui Ruoling's cold hand. hand, said:
"Ling'er, don't be sad, don't worry, I will make the decision for you. No one can shake your position as the wife of the eldest son."

Shui Ruoling looked at Mrs. Duke, there was a clear smile in her eyes, and there was also a hint of contempt and sarcasm. She wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so she could only tightly clutch her stomach, with a touch of bright red, along the Thighs flowed down.

"Ling'er..." Li Haoqi's mournful roar reached Shui Ruoling's ears, but Shui Ruoling didn't feel anything, she was just heartbroken, her child, her child was going to be lost.

When Shui Ruoling opened his eyes again, Li Haoqi's stubbled face covered with bloodshot beard caught his eyes. Shui Ruoling looked at him and moved his lips slightly, "My child..."

Li Haoqi held Shui Ruoling's hand in grief, and said in pain and pity: "Ling'er, don't do this, we are still young, and we will have children in the future, don't be sad, maybe, maybe this child is not like us. What about fate? We will have many children in the future, and there will definitely be."

"My child is gone." He whispered softly, hearing it in Li Haoqi's ears, his heart ached even more, Shui Ruoling stroked his flat belly, there used to be a child here, but now, there is no more.

"Ling'er, don't do this! I feel very distressed when I saw it. There will be a child in the future, I promise." Li Haoqi's hoarse and painful voice sounded, Shui Ruoling looked at him, his eyes were full of pain, thin There is no human figure, with sunken eye sockets, and her face is full of blue. Shui Ruoling looked at Li Haoqi like this, her eyes were calm and unwavering. She slowly withdrew her hand, looked at Li Haoqi, and said word by word: "Li Haoqi , I hate you! It is because of you that my child will leave, I hate you! I will never, never forgive you!"
